Chapter 419: Drinking alone in the sea of flowers
In the bustling and noisy Jingshi, looking up at the moonlight, you will only feel as bright and charming as a pearl.
But if you are in the valley, looking at the same bright moon, then because of the emptiness and loneliness around you, even this moonlight will be covered with a layer of desolation.
And now the seductive aroma of the wine, in the sea of golden orchids all over the mountain, mixed with the pungent floral fragrance, makes people just smell lightly, and they will be intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
With such golden orchids all over the mountains, it is estimated that only the station of the Beijing military camp can be seen in the entire Great Zhou.
Because this sea of flowers is not only moving, it also carries Zhou Xianyu's memories and memories of his biological mother Concubine Rou, and every flower here can be said to have been planted by Zhou Xianyu himself.
And now, in the middle of this sea of flowers, on a huge flat boulder, Zhou Xianyu is holding a white jade wine gourd in his hand, raising his head and drinking wine wantonly.
A little bit of wine overflowing from the corners of his mouth couldn't help but flow through Zhou Xianyu's throat, but he didn't care about these, the innate arrogance and freedom were completely revealed at this moment.
It seems that between heaven and earth, he is the only one who is drunk and drinking at this moment, and he seems to have completely forgotten all about the wars and tricks.
But when he drank the wine full of gourds, and lowered his head and picked up another small wine jar, Zhou Xianyu's eyes stayed on the dumplings on the side.
Seeing that the dumplings were playing with two front paws and holding a gold-rimmed invitation.
Zhou Xianyu's chic and uninhibited expression narrowed, and a faint worry couldn't help but appear in his phoenix eyes.
"Strife is disturbing, and a pot of turbid wine may indeed be able to forget worries. But Xuan'er, I can't forget you, even **** I hope to get myself drunk. But whether it is waking or dreaming, in my Zhou Xianyu's mind, what lingers is your voice and appearance, a smile and a smile. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Zhou Xianyu picked up a small wine jar, raised his head and closed his eyes tightly, and drank it with an extremely melancholy expression.
It wasn't until the wine in the small half jar was drunk into his mouth that Zhou Xianyu made a move and put down the small jar at the same time.
His right hand was extremely fast, leaving only a faint phantory shadow, and in an instant, he took the gold invitation in the palm of the ball into his hand.
is having a good time, and naturally he won't do it now, but if he asks him to snatch something from Zhou Xianyu's hands, it will borrow a few more guts from the little guy, and he won't dare to do this kind of thing.
So in the end, Tuanzi sat on the ground, peeked at Zhou Xianyu with a pair of small eyes, and hummed in a small voice in his mouth, expressing his dissatisfaction in protest.
Seeing the small appearance of the group, Zhou Xianyu couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, but said in a faint voice:
"I said Fat Dun, do you know what this thing is, you can take it to play, this is Xuan'er and the fifth brother returned to the palace to serve tea and invite Anli two months after their wedding, and Empress Xue invited me to a family banquet. I really don't know what you are doing if you don't stay by Jinxuan's side and come back with your master, it's already messy enough to be honest in my heart, so don't be naughty. ”
Bamboo bear has always been able to understand human language, so seeing Zhou Xianyu's words, he actually complained that he was following aside.
Immediately, Xiao Tuanzi's fat body fell directly to the ground, and the two front paws also covered his ears, the meaning was obvious, but it pretended not to hear Zhou Xianyu's words, and made up his mind not to leave.
After all, in Tuanzi's heart, it had already promised Xiao Jinxuan that it would guard Zhou Xianyu every step of the way, so no matter what the other party said, it would stay here cheekily.
As soon as he saw that the group was playing a scoundrel again, Zhou Xianyu was also helpless, and he didn't pay attention to the little guy, but took out the carefree hairpin from the cuff.
"If I don't go to the banquet, I don't know what reason I can see you. But if you go to the banquet, I really can't see you and the fifth brother-in-law singing with the wife. Although I said the words of love with you in a negative anger that night, I put you down in my mouth, but I couldn't let go of it in my heart. You woman, could it be that God sent me to torture me? ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Zhou Xianyu couldn't help but look at the invitation again, and sat in the sea of flowers for a long time, Zhou Xianyu, who has never been indecisive, didn't even decide whether to go to the banquet in the end.
After all, seeing the beloved woman with his own eyes, and Xiao Jinxuan, who was about to become his own palace in the past, and his most beloved brother, loved each other, this feeling was easily unbearable even for people who were tough in their hearts.
Thinking that even if he went to the banquet anyway, it would be two months later, Zhou Xianyu, who had been sitting in the mountains for a whole night, immediately stood up, ready to take advantage of the time not to think about this thing that disturbed his thoughts.
Bathed in the dazzling sunlight of dawn, one man and one bear walked in the direction of the Beijing military camp.
And all the golden orchids couldn't help but dance gracefully with their branches when a breeze passed, as if they were soothing the child's mother, watching Zhou Xianyu leave.
Time flies, cold comes and goes, autumn harvest and winter hide, and in the blink of an eye, the scorching summer has been replaced by autumn again.
In the ** month, in this osmanthus festival, Xiao Jinxuan, who has been living in the Rui Wang's Mansion for more than a month, is just like the past.
The first thing he did after waking up was to sleep in the same room, and Zhou Xianrui, who slept with her across a wide screen, prepared a cup of ginseng tea for stand-in health.
When she also set fire to the spices of the delicate taste of snow plum, she saw that the genius outside lit up.
Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but wear a single coat, as usual, she pushed open the window, and sprinkled a handful of pre-prepared millet on the ground, waiting for the birds that came to forage in the morning to eat.
Since entering the Quartet Mansion of King Rui, Xiao Jinxuan is now nominally a side concubine.
In addition, the hidden guards who were far away in Yangzhou, because they were left in place by Su Qi and others, and now they began to return to Beijing.
Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan did not show up in order to avoid suspicion, and also considered her own safety, so for the rest of the month, she only stayed in the yard and basically never went out.
I have Zhou Xianyu in mind, and I have to **** and Zhou Xianrui to bother planning for the affairs of the previous dynasty.
After looking at the birds flying freely in the sky, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but feel a sense of envy.
Therefore, every morning, she sprinkles some millet to feed the birds, and every time she sees these birds chirping happily around her window, her silent heart seems to get a moment of relaxation.
And just when Xiao Jinxuan leaned lightly on the window frame, looked at the birds that were gradually flying with a smile, and began to eat millet.
Because Zhou Xianrui, who participates in the morning court every day and does not have the habit of getting up late, this meeting has also gotten up and come to Xiao Jinxuan's side.
Then he grabbed a handful of millet and threw it out of the window, and then said softly:
"Jinxuan, if you really like to feed birds, these sparrows are just sparse and ordinary mortals, how about this king ask someone to find you some cherished birds for you to enjoy."
Although she knew that Zhou Xianrui had good intentions, Xiao Jinxuan immediately shook her head and handed the ginseng tea prepared in advance to the other party, and then she looked at the sparrows on the ground outside the window and whispered:
"Although this bird is not as good as a parrot, the thrush is precious and delicate. But it is precisely because of their ordinariness that they are spared the fate of being caught and trapped in a cage for life. As the saying goes, there are gains and losses, and I don't feed them food because I love birds. I'm just envious of their ordinariness and unrestrainedness. ”
Xiao Jinxuan's technique of arranging the tea ingredients is still quite exquisite, and the ginseng tea picked out by the other party has always been the most liked by Zhou Xianrui.
Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan is now living in Rui Wang's Mansion, and she repays the peach, and almost all of the other party's daily refreshments are made by herself, and this can really make the concubines and concubines in other courtyards in the mansion jealous and hateful for a long time.
And when Zhou Xianrui finished drinking the tea, he heard Xiao Jinxuan's words, and knew that the other party was lamenting his fate, so he couldn't help but say comfortingly:
"When the matter is over, I will personally explain everything to the seventh brother. At that time, Jinxuan, you can let the birds fly in the sky, let the fish swim in the wide sea, stay away from the rights and wrongs of this Jingshi, and live the life you want. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan didn't speak for a long time.
After all, if she wanted to explain clearly to Zhou Xianyu, when the other party visited the Rui Wangfu at night, she would have enough time to tell everything to the other party frankly.
But Xiao Jinxuan knew clearly in her heart that if she made this big wedding just an expedient thing, she would make it clear to the other party.
With Zhou Xianyu's character, she really won't misunderstand anything, but the other party will guard her side again, and this is what Xiao Jinxuan is most worried about in her heart.
Xiao Jinxuan, who has been reminded of the lessons of blood again and again, can only keep Zhou Xianyu away from her that the other party can be safe.
So Xiao Jinxuan didn't say that she didn't have the opportunity to explain the misunderstanding with Zhou Xianyu, but that deep in her heart, she subconsciously planned to take advantage of this misunderstanding to directly force the other party away from her.
Xiao Jinxuan is different from those little women who can only cry when they encounter problems, and she has always been accustomed to burying everything deep in her heart.
Therefore, sometimes, in terms of personality, she and Zhou Xianrui do have the same acquaintance, and the two of them often wear purple clothes on weekdays.
It's no wonder that Zhou Xianyu had sighed before, and felt that in the two of them, they could vaguely see each other's shadows.
After suppressing the melancholy in her heart, Xiao Jinxuan turned to look at Zhou Xianrui, and then asked calmly:
"Your Highness has now passed another month, and the Xiao family army will rush back in less than three months at the latest. Don't you think that now that there is still Empress Xue in the Prime Minister's Mansion, this overly calm posture is a bit unusual. I always feel that under this tranquility, I am afraid that the other party is brewing some conspiracy. ”
When it came to business, Zhou Xianrui couldn't help but be serious and cautious, and then saw him say in a rather agreeable voice:
"Jinxuan, what you said is right, this king always feels that there seems to be something wrong with the atmosphere inside and outside the Jingshi. Although I don't believe that there is a Xian Imperial Guard outside the Jingshi, the Xue family still dares to do anything about rebellion. But if the other party really plans to make a move, then in the remaining months when Xiao Jiajun has not returned, it is the best time for the other party to make a move, and it seems that this king really has to take precautions. ”
