Chapter Forty-Eight: On the Moon
There are palm lamps everywhere in the outer hall of the Yanfu Palace, and the light is wrong, overlapping several slender figures. At the focus of the shadow, the man was wearing a navy blue embroidered dragon prince robe, with one hand on his back, standing alone, like a fairy in the painting, like a dream.
Xu Ruliang was dazzled in a trance.
Mu Lianxuan felt the expectant gaze behind him and looked back suddenly.
A soft smile hung on his lips, not public, not artificial, but irrepressibly diffused into the eyes.
Xu Ruliang's spine stiffened.
What she understands is that every time Mu Lianxuan shows such a smile, it is actually an angry smile. The deeper the smile, the more angry it becomes. At such a moment, it should be bottomless.
What is he angry about?
As if he was taken away by his deep eyes, and the words that he was ready to confront him with were instantly wiped out, Xu Ruliang could only look at Mu Lianxuan fixedly.
Yun Bo cautiously reminded Xu Ruliang to salute.
Xu Ruliang was stunned.
In two lifetimes, he never saluted the prince, and he made a "turn" in a hurry.
Mu Lianxuan was instantly amused, even if he had decided to punish Xu Ruliang for his "wrong decision" of not recognizing him, it all disappeared at this moment, and he couldn't help but take a step forward, and said jokingly: "The county lord of Danyang seems to be a little nervous when he sees this hall? ”
"No ......"
Xu Ruliang's mouth was stiff, but his body retreated very honestly.
The corners of Mu Lianxuan's eyes and eyebrows were dyed with a smile, and she slowly approached Xu Ruliang, breaking her contradiction with her actions.
Xu Ru was cold, and walked and retreated, stepping on his left foot and almost tripping with his right foot. Suddenly, as soon as I saw a flower, I fell into a wide and tight embrace.
"The foot injury of the Lord of Danyang County has not healed, and it is inconvenient to stand for a long time, so it is better to let the main hall do it for you."
Mu Lianxuan hooked his lips and smiled, as bright as the sun. Playing horizontally and hugging Xu Ruliang, the voice of ** has not disappeared, and the figure has already flown out of the door and jumped on the roof under the stunned gaze of everyone.
It turns out that climbing the roof is a habit he has long had!
Xu Ruliang's heart was heavy, recalling the countless nights in his previous life, they also snuggled up to each other's shoulders like this at this moment, sitting on the roof and looking at the night sky...... In a trance, he seemed to have returned to the intimacy of his previous life, but he clearly knew that the Mu Lianxuan beside him was no longer the Mu Lianxuan of his previous life.
She struggled and wanted to break free from Mu Lianxuan's arms.
Mu Lianxuan tightened her arms quietly, making her lean closer and closer to his chest, and said thoughtfully: "After the loss of eyebrows, there is Shuo." The lonely tone made Xu Ruliang stop struggling.
The loss of eyebrows was followed by Shuo.
The end of January is always the beginning of January, and the cycle repeats itself, endlessly.
Just like the death of a past life, it is the beginning of this life......
Xu Ruliang was silent.
Mu Lianxuan smiled coldly, and suddenly pointed to the northern sky, the most dazzling Big Dipper in the clear night sky, "The moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have good and bad luck, but this star does not change for eternity." I'm so star. ”
Xu Ruliang was shocked, is Mu Lianxuan a sentimental person?
What do you want to do tonight when you go to the roof and make up sentences?
For things that can't be figured out, especially Mu Lianxuan's matter, Xu Ruliang has always had only two choices, either leave it behind and don't waste his brainpower, or ask Mu Lianxuan directly for an answer and don't waste his brainpower.
Right now, she wanted to know Mu Lianxuan's thoughts, so she said, "The little girl is blunt, I don't know what His Royal Highness wants to say?" ”
Mu Lianxuan glanced at her sideways, and wiped away her melancholy, and she couldn't hide the tenderness and pampering that was about to spread out from her eyes. Put Xu Ruliang on her lap, gently remove her shoes and socks, press her ankles and insteps with her slender fingertips, and finally stay in the center of her feet, slowly rubbing them.
"Does it still hurt?"
A low greeting, like a nightmarish phantom sound.
Xu Ruliang couldn't hear it.
"No ......"
The gentle and delicate Mu Lianxuan, who was completely different from her previous life, made her so stunned that she couldn't help herself, and she couldn't even speak well.
Mu Lianxuan looked up at her and smiled again, "Don't always say no." ”
Xu Ruliang was almost obsessed with his almost perfect smile and couldn't think, so he nodded.
Mu Lianxuan was very satisfied, and when his heart was hot and weak and boneless, he took out the ancestral swelling cream sent by Princess Yu and carefully smeared it on Xu Ruliang. Wait for the ointment to completely dry, and put back on her shoes and socks.
The way of taking care of people, first-class skill.
Xu Ruliang lowered his eyelids slightly. The tip of the heart seemed to have been pierced by countless needles, and the pain was so painful that I couldn't breathe.
It turns out that Xuan Xuan will take care of people!
I think it should be done by taking care of my "sister".
But in her previous life, Mu Lianxuan never took care of her meticulously.
Maybe it's because the weight of yourself in his heart is not enough to be taken care of by him, right?
Xu Ruliang thought with self-deprecation, the more profound the heartache became.
In his previous life, he had known each other for ten years, been married for six years, and the feelings of being in the same boat through thick and thin, and sharing weal and woe, could not be exchanged for his care of lowering his figure. In this life, she has disobeyed him many times after only a few face-to-face friends, so he should hate her even more, right?
But at this moment, he treated her so gently, as if she was a rare treasure......
Did the rise of the second prince really worry him so much?
In order to consolidate the alliance with the Xu family, did he really do anything?
For the sake of the throne, can he Mu Lianxuan really give up even the last pride, and endure a situation that is more embarrassing than in his previous life?
Maybe.
Isn't what he is doing now proving it?
Xu Ruliang coldly hooked the corners of his mouth, even if Xuan Xuan can endure it, in this life, he doesn't plan to endure it anymore!
broke away from Mu Lianxuan's embrace, politely thanked him, and said goodbye estrangely.
Mu Lianxuan's eyebrows furrowed, and he stretched out his hand to block.
Xu Ruliang only looked at him coldly, "What else does the Third Highness have to do?" ”
"It's okay," Mu Lianxuan withdrew his hand leisurely, "The main hall is just a little curious, why does the county lord of Danyang always treat kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs and refuse people thousands of miles away?" Could it be that the county lord has experienced something unpleasant? Or, have an opinion about the main temple? ”
It was clearly just a faint and cool voice, a calm tone, and the words that came out hit Xu Ruliang's heart like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
Xu Ruliang suddenly tightened his palms.
In the face of a natural strategist like Mu Lianxuan, he really can't relax for a moment!
What does he mean by this?
Would you say these things to an eight-year-old girl for no reason?
Did she show a flaw?
Did he find something?
Xu Ruliang was so nervous that his palms were cold, and his whole body trembled slightly.
Mu Lianxuan circled his long arms, then circled the petite dough into his arms again, and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't be afraid of ......"
The tip of the nose lingers with a faint aroma, elegant and ethereal, refreshing. Xu Ruliang's whole person was calm, looking at the deep night sky, only to feel that there were more and more stars, more and more......
