Chapter 141: Asking for Marriage
The study room was quiet, and in the white jade incense burner of the tanuki slave on the table, the light and elegant Sanyun incense was burning, which was quietly diffusing in the room.
On one side, Xiangyu was leaning on a soft brocade with a blue hedge pattern, his head supported with one hand, his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.
It is as if they are two worlds separated from the outside world.
Xiangyu should have noticed that someone was coming in, he frowned slightly, his body moved, he slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze faintly fell on the sleeping fence and the raccoon slave who were standing not far away.
"What's the matter?" Xiangyu's cold voice had a hint of hoarseness in her fresh sleep.
"Childe, the protégé of the Great Prince's Mansion asks to see him. ”
Xiangyu was stunned, the sleepiness in his eyes quickly faded, and a faint color of thought appeared on his face.
Mo eyes moved slightly, sat up, and the tanuki slave and Mian Liang hurriedly stepped forward to help each other.
Afterwards, the tanuki nun leaned down to tidy up a small piece of wrinkled brocade cloth on Xiangyu's white jade robe, and the sleeping fence served a cup of freshly brewed tea.
After taking a sip of tea, Xiangyu handed the teacup back to Mian Li, and slowly walked towards the door.
Sleep Fence put down the teacup and followed closely with the tanuki.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Qili, who had been waiting outside for a long time, walked up quickly, knelt on his knees, and bowed his head to salute: "See Yu Gongzi." ”
Xiangyu opened his mouth and asked, "The protégé in the Great Prince's Mansion is Ghost Qili, what are you doing today in my Jade Disturbance Courtyard?"
Qi Li's body fell lower, and her attitude of answering was particularly respectful: "Young Master Yu, the slave came today to ask for something. ”
Xiangyu stared at the autumn-colored figure prostrate at his feet, and a dark light flashed in his inky eyes.
"What?"
Qili reached out to her chest, took out a letter, and presented it to Xiangyu with both hands.
The head was still low, not daring to lift it easily.
The tanuki stepped forward, took the letter, and presented it to Xiangyu with both hands.
Xiangyu reached out and took it, took it apart, and read the letter.
The bamboo wind lingered in his ears, blowing up the corner of the letter.
The head of the sleeping fence standing behind Xiangyu raised slightly, a little curious about the content of the letter.
Xiangyu finished reading the letter, and her slender white fingers folded the letter.
"So you got the permission of your master?" after a while, Xiangyu asked lightly.
“...... Be. He leaned lower, and there was a hint of apprehension in his voice.
Xiangyu walked forward, and when he got closer to the direction of the bamboo forest, he stopped.
"Qili, as the most beautiful man in the ghost world, there are many female ghosts who are willing to combine with you, why did you just fall in love with my sacrifice?"
The white jade-colored figure did not turn around, but just looked in the direction of the bamboo forest, and the cold voice was transmitted to everyone's ears with the bamboo wind.
The tanuki slave and the sleeping fence who were standing on the side were all surprised when they heard this.
"The girl of the sleeping fence has an outstanding appearance, and she is on the night banquet, and when she gets a glimpse, she falls in love at first sight, and she specially invites the jade prince to fulfill it!" Qili replied solemnly.
Xiangyu slowly turned around, looked at Qili, and was silent for a moment before saying, "Raise your head." ”
Xiangyu was dressed in a white jade robe facing the bamboo wind, rustling, and there was a wave in the corner.
His long inky hair rose in the wind, and his delicate face seemed to be inherently coated with a layer of unattainable noble brilliance.
As soon as Qili looked up, she saw this scene.
The man in front of him, who has Yin'an's most honorable status, is tall, more perfect, more noble, and more dazzling than himself.
In front of him, the only advantage in his complexion disappeared in an instant, and the efforts he had been trying to integrate into the nobility of the human race became a sad and humble joke in an instant.
A deep sense of loss flashed in Qili's eyes, but he quickly disguised it and returned to his usual demeanor.
Xiangyu stepped up and approached Qili step by step.
Approaching, he leaned down slightly, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Qili's jaw.
Qi Li's expression was shocked, and a powerful noble aura came to his face, he was restrained by an invisible pair of hands, unable to move for half a minute, and instantly fell into a dark abyss that never had light, and he was overwhelmed.
This is the greatest fearing force in existence among human beings!
Qili's eyes were dyed with a layer of deep fear.
Xiangyu looked faintly appreciating the expected panic, and the corners of her mouth suddenly turned into a casual smile.
As if remembering something, he looked up at the sleeping hedge standing beside him.
Mian Liang met Xiangyu's sight, and couldn't help whispering: "Childe......"
As soon as he spoke, Xiangyu withdrew his gaze.
"Whether you can marry or not, it's not up to me to have the final say. Xiangyu let go of Qili and got up.
He walked up to the hedge, looked at her, and said quietly, "If you want, answer him." ”
After leaving this sentence, Xiangyu walked away quickly.
Mian Liang turned his head and looked at Xiangyu's distant back, looking confused.
She is, was she begged for a kiss?
Childe is this, let her make her own choice?
But isn't she a sacrifice of the childe?
At night, Xiangyu sat on the bamboo and rattan bench in Xiangqian, looking leisurely.
This is not the Jade Disturbance Courtyard, but Xiangqian's Qianlan Courtyard, next to him is Xiangqian's daily vegetable garden, there is a firefly lamp in the middle of the garden, and countless flying insects are circling around the light.
The sound of summer cicadas is noisy, accompanied by the sound of frogs, a piece of summer.
There was a sudden sound of rustling in the vegetable garden, and then a figure rushed out.
The figure was holding a ripe big cold melon in his hand, which was the raccoon slave who had been ordered by Xiangyu to enter the vegetable garden to pick melons.
The raccoon slave was sweating profusely, walked up to Xiangyu with a cold gourd, and said with a smile: "Childe, this old patriarch of the cold melon is very well cared for, big and solid. As he spoke, he patted the cold melon, making a thick sound.
"Hmm. Xiangyu replied lazily.
"Do you want to eat it directly, or do you want to chill it a little before you eat it?"
Xiangyu glanced at the cold melon in the raccoon slave's hand and replied, "No need to chill it." ”
The raccoon slave was ordered, and immediately cast a spell, and in an instant, a large and round cold melon turned into a whole plate of crescent-shaped cold melon slices.
The tanuki snapped his fingers and lit the white jade horn lantern.
The claw lamp automatically rose into the air, and the place where the two of them were was instantly wrapped in the light, and it suddenly brightened up a lot.
The tanuki slave began to serve Xiangyu to eat the cold melon, helping him remove the black seeds, leaving only the red flesh for him to eat.
"The clans know that as soon as the prince enters the summer, he will eat cold melons, and they have all found high-quality cold melons from all over Yin'an in advance, and they will arrive in the house in about these two days, and the sons will have melons to eat. The raccoon slave fed the melon flesh into Xiangyu's mouth spoonful by spoonful, and said with a smile, while wiping some melon juice from the corner of Xiangyu's mouth with Luo Pa.
When Xiangyu eats cold melon, it is quiet and elegant, and even the people watching from the side see it, and they only feel that it is a beautiful scenery.
After eating two or three petals, Xiangyu faintly felt full and stopped.
Taking a new ropa from the tanuki slave, he wiped his mouth, set it aside, found a comfortable position, and sat back on the bamboo and rattan chair again.
Xiangyu raised his head and looked at the clear moon in the night sky, and lost his mind for a moment.
He took out something from his sleeve, but it was the hedge hairpin that was recovered from Xunfu by Mian Li.
The three white jade flowers on the hedge hairpin condensed into petals, under the light cover of the white jade sheep's horn lamp, exude soft fluorescence, the hairpin is crystal clear throughout, and the place where it touches is warm and cool.
Xiangyu's slender fingers stroked the little blood red in the middle of the petals, and suddenly paused, and his eyes moved slightly.
