99. Feelings are born in secret
An Xiaoxiao appeared at the door of the Mu Mansion with a car full of gifts.
Hearing that someone was coming to report, Changde rushed over and was very excited to see An Xiaoxiao. While leading An Xiaoxiao to find Mu Yige, he chattered endlessly about An Xiaoxiao's situation over the years.
In the capital, most people just heard that An Xiaoxiao was unwell and went back to her hometown to recuperate. Changde also thinks so.
An Xiaoxiao had to laugh and sloppy, she could lie to others without changing her face, but she was still unwilling to deceive people who really cared about her.
Changde took her three times and two times, and turned to a place An Xiaoxiao didn't expect.
"Isn't this some forbidden place in Mu Mansion?" An Xiaoxiao pointed to the courtyard in front of her in surprise. She still clearly remembered that when she first met Mu Yige, he pulled her here, and at that time, those people circled around the courtyard, but they didn't dare to come in.
Chang De's eyes darkened: "This is actually the residence of the young master's mother. After the death of the second lady, the Hou Ye listed this place as a forbidden place. However, the young master returned to the Mu Mansion three years ago and insisted on living here, so the Hou Ye agreed. ”
Changde pushed open the door and led An Xiaoxiao in.
Unexpectedly, everything inside was the same as An Xiaoxiao's memory, the courtyard of Nuoda was quiet and quiet, and there was still a swing hanging from the huge maple tree, which was slightly swayed by the wind. Didn't Mu Yige live in? Why is it still not very popular? Could it be that Mu Chengxiu still didn't want to see this son, and didn't give Mu Yige a few subordinates?
Seeing the surprise in An Xiaoxiao's eyes, Chang De explained: "After the young master moved in, he deliberately kept the courtyard as before. Except for Master Hou, Young Master and me, no one else is allowed to enter here. Not even the lady and the eldest young master. ”
"I see!" An Xiaoxiao smiled and expressed understanding. She had no intention of exploring the story behind the Mu family, but from Changde's words, she had already heard Mu Chengxiu's maintenance of Mu Yige, and that was enough.
Mu Yige saw An Xiaoxiao enter the door and greeted him happily: "Xiaoxiao——"
Seeing this, Changde temporarily said goodbye and went down to prepare tea and pastries for the two.
The two of them were alone in the room, but they were quiet, and they felt as if they had a lot to say, but they couldn't say it at once.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, An Xiaoxiao tilted her head and smiled mischievously: "Don't you take me on a tour?" ”
Mu Yige bowed his head and began to take her to see it room by room. When she arrived at the study, An Xiaoxiao was really surprised.
"Have you read all these books?"
There are three rows of shelves, full of books, and the aroma of books and ink fills this small room. An Xiaoxiao took out a book at random and opened it, and there were notes made by Mu Yige on it. I opened several books in a row, and it was the same situation.
Mu Yige smiled embarrassedly: "I fell too far in the past, how can I do it if I don't catch up now?" ”
"Xuan'er always praises you for being amazing, and I don't know the reason for it now."
"You've got to get the black feather arrows for me."
"What to do ——?" An Xiaoxiao frowned, as if she was very distressed: "You are talking so imposingly now, I am so unaccustomed to it!" ”
Mu Yige was amused by her, and also teased: "If you didn't disappear for five years all at once, you should have gotten used to it a long time ago." ”
"I didn't just disappear casually, I've done a lot of things in the past five years."
"Oh, what great things have you done?"
……
An Xiaoxiao picked up some interesting experiences and boasted with Mu Yige, and when it came to the excitement, she also danced and compared.
Mu Yige listened with great interest, echoing her from time to time.
The atmosphere was lightened and cheerful.
"Sounds like you've had a good past five years!" Mu Yige sighed, with a hint of loneliness in his tone, An Xiaoxiao heard it, and asked, "What about you?" How have these five years passed? ”
Mu Yige's eyes flickered suddenly, as if he remembered some of the past, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile: "A rich idler, how can it be compared to your life." ”
An Xiaoxiao felt puzzled, with Mu Yige's current talent and ability, why has he not been able to get an official position so far? She knew that Mu Yige still hadn't told herself, so she looked at him with round eyes and didn't speak.
Seeing her like this, Mu Yige had no choice but to sigh: "I am the concubine of the family, and my reputation is too great, I am afraid that I will be jealous." It's better to be a rich idler! ”
An Xiaoxiao understood his situation, but she was indignant for him. She hasn't forgotten who sued to let Ao Xue marry in the north. Since this is the case, she will not show mercy to her subordinates, and must teach Mu Hanyan a lesson.
It's just that at the moment, she didn't want to make Mu Yige too sad, so she followed his words and said with a smile: "You are comfortable!" Wealthy idlers are the lifelong dream of many people. ”
Mu Yige also cooperated and pulled the corners of his mouth, but he never showed his face. I'm afraid he won't be able to play the role of a rich idler for long......
An Xiaoxiao felt sorry for him, changed the topic and asked, "Why don't you marry a wife yet?" ”
Mu Yige smiled again when he heard this, but this time he really smiled. His star-like black eyes looked at her fixedly, and said, "Maybe because my marriage has been traveling far away, I haven't remembered to look back on me as a fool, right?" ”
An Xiaoxiao was stunned, and carefully recalled this sentence, and finally made her elm head feel a little bit.
Mu Yige was still looking at her, but she blushed and lowered her head. She has been in two lives together, and she is not young, but she has never been in love, and she doesn't know what to do when she encounters this kind of situation.
Suddenly, my head hurt again, as if I had been bitten by something.
She covered her head and snorted, Mu Yige hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her hand to check: "What's wrong?" ”
An Xiaoxiao's head suddenly didn't hurt, and she only felt that the palm that was held by him and me was hot and hot. She quickly withdrew her hand and said with a red face: "It's okay, it's okay!" ”
Her fair face was flushed, and it was easy to tell. Mu Yige only felt that her blushing appearance was very cute, and couldn't help but get closer to her again: "Xiaoxiao-I think-"
An Xiaoxiao's heart was beating hard, and she seemed to be able to feel the eager rhythm when she covered her heart with her hand. She didn't understand what was going on, could it be that she had a heart condition?
Before Mu Yige could speak, a disturbing voice came from outside the door that interrupted the secret feelings in the room.
"Young Master—refreshments are ready!"
As if she had met a savior, An Xiaoxiao took a big step back, smiled stiffly, and said, "Great, I'm hungry!" After saying that, he ran towards the study as if fleeing for his life.
Mu Yige shook his head with a smile, and also walked out.
……
Palace.
Baili Renault and Huo Yao Junchen sat opposite each other, and a game of chess just started.
Huo Yao finished giving off a son and said with a smile: "I heard that Miss An has returned to Beijing!" ”
Baili Renault squinted at him, did not answer, but continued to lay out the game in an orderly manner.
"Your Majesty, you have to hurry. When she comes back this time, I'm afraid that the family will arrange a blind date for her soon. ”
Baili Renaud took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "Who is so short-sighted that he dares to propose to her?" ”
"That's not what I said! It's been five years since you had something with her, after all. This is a big capital, and there are so many rumors every day, who can believe them all? Miss An was born like a flower when she was a child, and now she is afraid that she will become more and more beautiful......"
Baili Renault's mind naturally appeared An Xiaoxiao's face lying on the stone asleep, and when she woke up later, her sleepy eyes were also very cute. As long as the thought of other men having the opportunity to see this picture also appeared, there were some signs of anger in him getting out of control.
Baili Renault glared at Huo Yao fiercely, and directly became a general.
Huo Yao's eyes widened in surprise, it wasn't that Baili Renault's step was wonderful, the fact was just the opposite, he rode deep into the enemy camp general, which undoubtedly gave the opponent a great advantage, the opponent only needed to skillfully move a few chess pieces to lock the "rook", and he should be able to abolish this chess piece soon.
Huo Yao couldn't help but sigh, An Xiaoxiao was really amazing, she could make the most indifferent person mess up.
Baili Renault stopped talking, and walked a few steps with a cold face. Huo Yao only felt that his moves were very boring, he had already locked the "rook", and the next step would be to make the opponent lose a general.
At this time, Baili Renault suddenly mobilized a son and said, "General—"
"What?" Huo Yao lowered his head to observe, when did the other party's horse go deep to this extent, and it turned out to be a general?
He moves the veteran and avoids the general's horse.
Baili Renault took another step and said with a smile: "Again!" ”
Huo Yao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. There was no way for him to escape, and he had already lost the game. He was distracted to catch the other party's "car" just now, but he neglected to guard the base camp, but he didn't expect to be exploited by Baili Renault and preemptively checkmate him to death.
"Your Majesty, did you deliberately send a bait over just now?" He still couldn't believe it.
Baili Renault glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth were hooked: "What, dissatisfied?" ”
Huo Yao lowered his head: "How dare you, the minister is really convinced!" He paused, raised his head again, and said in sincere admiration: "Your Majesty's chess skills have become more and more sophisticated in the past few years, and Huo Yao is no longer an opponent. ”
Baili Renault smiled, and suddenly remembered a figure again, and sighed a little distractedly: "I don't know who is better than her now?" ”
Huo Yao knew that over the years, in addition to himself, how many chess skills could make Baili Renault look up to him so highly?
"Your Majesty wants to know Lu Dao, and summons her into the palace to play a game, won't it be clear immediately?"
Baili Renault shook his head lightly: "It's not the time yet!" ”
"Oh?" Huo Yao thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty is worried about what the Jian and Mu families are doing?" ”
Baili Renault's cold eyes narrowed slightly, Huo Yao looked cold, and unconsciously lowered his head again. Others often say that a companion is like a tiger, and he has become more and more sympathetic to this sentence in the past two years.
Baili Renault retracted his eyes, and after a long time, he said as if to himself: "I'm afraid that girl will be scared." An Xiaoxiao pretended to sleep well, but unfortunately couldn't hide his eyes. The girl was obviously frightened by his actions, and even held her breath, and then ran away as if fleeing from a flood of prey.
"An Xiaoxiao—" He couldn't help but call out her name, although he pronounced these words a little heavily, as if he had bitten them between his lips and teeth.
Huo Yao was puzzled and quietly glanced up at the emperor.
I saw that the young emperor seemed to be thinking about something, frowning and irritably, throwing the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, making a "bang" sound.
Huo Yao's eyelids fluttered, and he didn't know who should be unlucky?
