Chapter 5: The Long Night Is Coming to an End

The long night is not over, and the morning light has not risen.

The large room behind the boat was very quiet, and the few flower pots on the terrace would be carefully taken care of by Xiao Xiang'er every day, and they were already lush.

Cui Xiaowan was a little sleepy, walking from the deck to the stern, and her mind was clear. She walked over to the pot she had planted and took a closer look.

The flowers are still beautiful, but for some reason, they just look like flowers now.

Cui Xiaowan's eyes didn't linger too much, picked up the kettle and sprinkled some water, and then walked into the back room.

The room is as clean as ever, but the workbench by the window is full of various objects, and there is a pool of candle tears left on the candlestick, which can imagine the picture of a woman sitting alone in front of the window on a summer night, carefully carving.

Cui Xiaowan swept her eyes, walked to her and tidied up lightly. In addition to the common objects such as golden quail eggs and tails of unknown functions, there are also two very small red hats with small bells hanging on them, which look particularly beautiful.

Cui Xiaowan's eyes showed some doubts, studied it carefully, and tried to put it on her head. The hat is only the size of a finger, so naturally you can't wear it. She thought about it, compared it on her body, and thought about it for a long time, but she didn't come up with where this pair, which was similar to the 'blood droplets' in the script, was worn, and finally it was neatly placed in the box next to her.

Xiao Xiang'er has become a habit of sleeping late and waking up late in the palace, and she will only wake up at dawn, and she is still asleep at this time.

Cui Xiaowan walked to the curtain, picked up the curtain and looked at it, Xiao Xiang'er, who was wearing a red nightdress, was lying on the pillow on her side, covered with a thin blanket around her waist, holding a small mahogany sign in her hand, and a wooden villain, the villain was a jade-faced boy who raised his hand and saluted, with a bright smile and a familiar appearance.

At this time, Xiao Xiang'er's eyelashes fluttered, she should be dreaming, her face was also a little red, it was estimated that she was still a nervous dream, a little scared, her toes were arched, and she struggled from time to time.

Cui Xiaowan took a closer look, maybe she missed it for a long time, she took off her outer skirt, squeezed in front of her, raised her hand to hug Xiao Xiang'er, and gently stroked her back with her hand, wanting to comfort the queen mother who was alone in the empty boudoir.

The long-lost embrace came from all around her, Xiao Xiang'er's body condensed slightly in her sleep, and then instinctively raised her hand and hugged the person around her, rubbing her cheeks against her chest.

Just rubbed it twice......

It's so soft......

Why is there no thing......

Xiao Xiang'er was in a daze, her expression stiffened suddenly, and there was a slight milky fragrance from the tip of her nose, which was obviously not the taste of Xu Buling.

Cui Xiaowan looked at the kitten as if she had a mother, hesitated, and continued to stroke her back:

"Don't be afraid, Queen Mother, I'm back."

“……”

Xiao Xiang'er woke up and raised her eyes to look at Cui Xiaowan.

Close at hand, eyes facing each other.

Xiao Xiang'er's cheeks gradually burned like fire, and she carefully withdrew the hand that had reached under Xiao Wan's waist and groped her back, Ruxing's eyes were about to burst into tears, and she held it for a long time before she smiled and said:

"Xiaowan, why did you come back suddenly? I...... I've just been in a nightmare, and I don't know what I'm doing. ”

Cui Xiaowan smiled with crooked eyebrows: "No need to explain, I know that the queen mother misses men." Xu Buling has already returned, and now he is upstairs, and since the queen mother has woken up, go up to sleep. ”

"Who misses a man......"

Xiao Xiang'er was ridiculed by the younger generation like this, her face couldn't hang up, she separated herself a little, sorted out her nightdress, and diverted the topic:

"It's nothing to go to Chang'an City, right? I didn't want you to follow, but my sister took you over just in case, and I know you don't want to go back......"

Cui Xiaowan shook her head: "The emperor and I have nothing to do with it, I only recognize the queen mother." It's also interesting to go back to Chang'an City, I also met my mother, but my mother persuaded me to sleep with Xu Buling, which made people a little unhappy, or the queen mother......"

??

Xiao Xiang'er had a strange expression, turned her head, and looked at Cui Xiaowan, who was almost talking to herself: "Uh...... Your mother asked you this? How do you answer? ”

"I said that I am Aunt Xu Buling, and my mother will not talk about this."

"Auntie......"

Xiao Xiang'er's ethics that she had almost forgotten often came to her mind again, more like an explanation to comfort herself:

"What an aunt, they all died once, and their previous identities no longer exist. You and I still have no orders, they are all equal, if you have other ideas, you don't need to consider this identity......"

Cui Xiaowan blinked: "Does the queen mother also want to persuade me to sleep with Xu Buling?" ”

"Uh......"

Xiao Xiang'er was more entangled in her heart, she really regarded Cui Xiaowan as a child who had not grown up, and her scalp was numb at the thought of 'mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sleeping together' or something, but don't persuade her, Cui Xiaowan got on this thief ship and couldn't run away......

"It depends on your mind, what does Xiao Wan think of Xu Buling?"

Cui Xiaowan thought for a while, pursed her lips and smiled: "I think it's quite interesting, it's better than the flowers that can't speak in the sea of flowers, and it's also more interesting than the flowers." ”

Xiao Xiang'er couldn't hear it clearly, and after pondering, she could only nod and smile.

Before dawn, both of them were a little sleepy, so they stopped talking.

Cui Xiaowan lay on the pillow, thought about it, and took out the small wooden card on her waist, put it in her hand and rubbed it gently.

Xiao Xiang'er glanced at it, and her gaze sank!

Boy!

Straight down

It's been eight times, and it's only been a few days?

Xiao Xiang'er's eyes were complicated and strange, and she turned around again, took the small mahogany sign from Cui Xiaowan's hand, and looked at it casually:

"Xiaowan, you ...... What's engraved? ”

Cui Xiaowan was not stingy, and explained with a smile: "Interesting thing." Just like the queen mother, every time I come back from bed, I will engrave a stroke, I think this method is very good, I can remember what happened to each stroke. ”

"Sleeping ......"

Xiao Xiang'er was a little uncomfortable, her eyes secretly swept over Cui Xiaowan's body a few times, and she stopped talking.

Cui Xiaowan knew what the queen mother was thinking, and said calmly: "I didn't sleep with Xu Buling, the queen mother can rest assured." ”

"I'm reassured of you, huh...... A little worried about him......"

"The queen mother knows him very well."

"Huh?"

Xiao Xiang'er didn't think this was praise at all, and secretly reprimanded her stinky brother in her heart, and turned her head:

He ...... Does he mean to share a bed with you? ”

Cui Xiaowan blinked, thought for a while, and suddenly showed a smile:

"I think there is, but he cares a little more about me, so I don't mind."

Xiao Xiang'er frowned, pondered for a moment, and didn't understand whether these words were affectionate or ruthless, so in the end she could only laugh, leaning on the pillow and closing her eyes.

"If the queen mother can't sleep, she can touch me, I don't mind."

"You're a woman, you don't feel it when you touch it."

"Really? It's not all fleshy ......."

"Alas......"
