Chapter 133: Segregation (4)
Stripping off the palace clothes and putting on a lilac homely dress, Han Xi took the token of the East Palace and walked towards the outside of the palace. The guards guarding the palace gate saw that she was holding the prince's token, and they didn't ask much, so they let Hanxi go out.
Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is getting cooler. Especially after the sunset, the night breeze is gentle, and it is also quite cool in autumn. When Han Xi, dressed in a cloud brocade crepe cloak, appeared at the door of the Tang Mansion, the old butler who came to answer the door couldn't help but be surprised. Since falling out with her son-in-law, she rarely comes to the house. But after all, she was a distinguished guest, and the old housekeeper still greeted her respectfully: "The jade girl is here, please come in quickly!" ”
Han Xi didn't correct the title of her, but just asked with a smile: "Uncle Wu, is the fourth prince here?" I had something to do with him. ”
Uncle Wu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, the son is in the room, and the old slave will lead the girl over." ”
Uncle Wu picked an oil lamp and led the way in front, and Han Xi followed him step by step. There was no word all the way, until he came to Tang Bujing's room, Wu Bocai said: "Childe is going to travel far tomorrow, and he is talking to Miss Qi inside." ”
A trace of sourness welled up in Han Xi's heart, and he still had a gentle smile on his face, and nodded: "Thank you Uncle Wu for reminding him." I just came to say goodbye to the fourth son and went back soon. ”
Uncle Wu looked at her, suddenly sighed, and shook his head gently.
The cold tide was silent, through the azure curtain as thin as cicada wings, and in the flickering candlelight, the figures of the two were indeed reflected: one was as tall as a jade tree, and the other was as delicate as a blue grass. And he is independent, alone.
The old housekeeper, who was already old, walked to the door, knocked lightly, and said, "Childe, it's the jade girl who is here." ”
The two figures reflected in the window screen shook each other, and in the room, Tang Bu's extremely magnetic voice came: "Oh? I see, please let her in. ”
Uncle Wu turned around, made a "please" gesture towards Hanxi, and said, "Girl, go in, if you need anything, then tell the old slave." ”
Han Xi bowed slightly: "Thank you Uncle Wu, you have worked hard." With that, she lifted her skirt and walked step by step through the bluestone steps outside the room towards the house.
There were many candlesticks in Tang Bu's room, and each candlestick was lit with three golden and red candles, which made the room brightly lit. Tang Bujing was dressed in a peacock blue homely robe, his black hair was tied with a white jade hairpin, and he was reading a book. Although it is just an ordinary dress, it is full of lazy luxury. Han Xi recognized that the white hosta used to tie his hair on his head was the one he bought and gave to him that day. It's just that I didn't expect him to keep it.
Qi Yuxue also only wore cheap homely clothes, a peach-colored narrow-sleeved blouse, a long skirt lined with a smoky silver background, and did not wear sachets, jade pendants, etc., only a few sparse vine patterns on the clothes, which were considered decorations. But such a fresh and beautiful appearance seems to be more suitable for her.
Pray that Xue Ben is helping Tang Bujing to clean up the softness of the long journey, which was originally made by the maid, but she must do it herself. Seeing that the cold tide came in, a trace of strangeness flashed in Qi Yuxue's heart. She glanced at Tang Bu very quickly, and saw that he was just reading quietly as usual. The bottom of my heart was a little more relaxed.
Qi Yuxue smiled kindly and asked, "It's so late, why did Miss Nangong come over, but do you have something to discuss with Forgotten Books?" ”
"When I was on duty in the palace today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mentioned that the prince was going to travel far away, and specially asked me to come to the palace to see if I needed to do anything. However, with Miss Qi here, it seems that His Highness does not need to worry about anything. In addition, the prince has some words for me to bring here. Hanxi quietly pushed the matter onto Situ Mu, first, because he was afraid that Qi Yuxue would misunderstand her and Tang Bushu; Second, it's just to find a reason for yourself.
Qi Yuxue smiled gently and quietly, and said to Tang Bu: "Forget the book, I have already helped you clean up the things, if there is anything missing, you can sue me again." Then I'll go out first, and you and Miss Nangong will talk slowly. ”
When Qi Yuxue left, only Tang Buxi and Hanxi were left in the house. Tang Bu was surprised and got up slowly, pointed to the rosewood carved round stool on his side, and said, "Just stand and do something, sit." ”
Hanxi nodded, took off his cloak and hugged it in his arms, and sat down. Tang Bu was shocked to brew a cup of fine Biluochun, put the white jade tea cup in front of Han Xi, and sat down beside her.
Hanxi took the teacup and thanked him politely. In the white tea cup, a pool of tea is green and verdant, and the color is very good-looking. Han Xi took a sip, put down the teacup, and then looked at the few begonias diagonally inserted in the celadon beauty on the table in a daze.
Tang Bu was surprised to see her restrained appearance, and a faint sadness flashed in his eyes. He asked, "Did you come to me just to sit silently?" ”
"I ......" Hanxi was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.
He was going to travel far away, and she was worried, uneasy, and reluctant, but she didn't know how to talk about it. Tang Bujing already had a delicate, gentle and polite prayer for snow, and her worries were out of place. Thinking of this, Han Xi only picked out some ordinary words and said: "I heard the prince say today that he will send you to Hanzhong for disaster relief and strictly investigate the collapse of the embankment." It's a long way, the disaster is capricious, and I don't know when you'll return. I'll come over tonight, and the prince asked me to see you off. ”
Tang Bu raised his eyebrows: "Oh, just for this?" If the prince didn't want to see me off, would you still come? ”
"This ......" Han Xi hung his head, tugging at the tassels on his clothes, and didn't know how to answer for a while, "I'm on duty in the palace, and if I don't have the prince's consent, I won't be able to get out at all." ”
"What about these removed?" Tang Bu was shocked to approach suddenly, and Han Xi suddenly raised his head and looked into his deep eyes. In those bright eyes, there was a deep look of expectation, "I want to ask your heart, would you like to come to see me in your heart?" ”
Through Tang Bu's eyes, Han Xi saw his own appearance, filling his eyes. Her slightly haggard face, with some embarrassment, hesitation and helplessness, is a rare lack of calmness in her now. There was nothing else in his eyes but himself!
My heart felt like someone had been pulled hard, and it hurt again and again. Han Xi sighed and replied, "I just hope that you will be okay and come back as soon as possible." ”
Although it was not the answer he wanted, a gentle smile gradually appeared in Tang Bu's eyes: "Well, definitely." I'll be back in a good time, and it's not in vain that you're looking forward to it! ”
Seeing that Tang Bu smiled so gently, Han Xi's heart was also warm. She asked again: "Why did you promise the prince to go to Hanzhong?" Didn't you admonish me, don't be too sharp. This time you went to disaster relief, didn't you show your edge? If you don't want to go, the prince won't force it. ”
Tang Buxi added some tea to her and said, "Naturally, I didn't want to go, but this matter is very important to the prince." If I can do it well, my position in the prince's heart will naturally be more stable. In this way, you will also have a better time in the East Palace. ”
"You really don't have to think about me all the time." Han Xi was moved, took out the string of Bodhi that Shiying handed to her from his sleeve, and said, "This, you can take it." I didn't know what this was before, or I was on duty in the palace, but after seeing a lot, I realized that this was Bodhizi. Doesn't it say that the Bodhi Son can bless peace? Now you need it more than I do. ”
"It's fine." Tang Bu shook his head, "I'm just going to inspect and supervise, and everything is in the light." And you are in the palace, the fish and dragons are mixed, and many people know people and faces, but they don't know their hearts, which is the real danger. ”R1152
