Chapter 68: Chu Chu, Why Are You Here?
The night was dark, and the palace was quiet. In Zhongli Jiujiu's courtyard, the little sparrow squatted pitifully on the wall, with a handful of pine nuts under his feet, and from time to time lowered his head and stuffed one into his beak, boredomically paying attention to the surrounding movements.
Zhongli Jiujiu is from the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't like to use maids, and there is no other figure in the empty courtyard.
The lights in the concubine's bedroom had been extinguished, and the curtains hung down on the inside of the large room, and objects such as white dresses, blue dresses, and leg rings were scattered on the ground, and some gasps and conversations were faintly visible:
"Dead mother-in-law, what are you doing with me?"
"Xianggong, she scolded me again...... Woo-ahh......h
"Jiu'er is ......"
The jumbled voices continued for a long time before they calmed down.
Between the curtains, Xu Buling lay down in the spring quilt and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Zhongli Jiujiu rolled over and lay inside, his cheeks were slightly moist, his breathing was slightly undulating when he squinted, he didn't want to move, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.
Ning Yuhe got off the field ahead of schedule, had already eased up, lay on the outside, his face was slightly red, moved Xu Buling's arm over, put it under his cheek and pillowed it, and glanced at the opposite side with a little dissatisfaction:
"You are the loudest in the house, and you can hear it through the courtyard wall, so you are not afraid of the maid's jokes?"
Zhongli Jiujiu squinted his eyes and pursed his lips, probably because he was dizzy and had no strength, and did not respond.
Xu Buling hugged Jiu Jiu with his right hand, let her pill her arm, tilted her head and smiled: "Master, Jiu Jiu is dizzy and doesn't even remember what his surname is, where did he pay attention to this." ”
Zhongli Jiujiu was not dizzy, and when he heard this, he was a little dissatisfied, and raised his hand to beat Xu Buling's chest lightly.
Ning Yuhe ridiculed his sworn opponent for a few words, and when he saw that the other party did not respond, he lost interest. She came over just now because she was about to go on an expedition, and she wanted to ask Cui Xiaowan what to do, but she didn't want to come over and bumped into Xu Buling preparing to be a concubine on the side, she came, where could she run away, and she was pulled in half-pushed.
After tossing for most of the night, when he was free, Ning Yuhe raised his eyes and asked:
"Ling'er, let's go, what should Empress Cui do?"
Xu Buling is also worried about this, he has nothing to do with Cui Xiaowan, if he really wants to count, he still calls people aunts, and he can't arrange people like his daughter-in-law. He thought for a moment:
"Cui Xiaowan is a bit autistic, she likes to stay alone, and it should be no problem to live in the sea of flowers. Besides, we are going out to fight, we can't forcibly pull her out, if we are seen by the emperor in the passing, we may have to change the route to fight Chang'an City. ”
Ning Yuhe understood the consequences of Cui Xiaowan being discovered by the emperor, not to mention Cui Xiaowan, even she, the queen who had not passed through the door, was found sleeping in Xu Buling's house, and it was a big deal. But Cui Xiaowan was kind to her after all, she hesitated and sighed faintly:
"Fighting is not a matter of two or three days, I think it's not good to leave a girl alone in Suzhou......
"I don't think it's good either, but I can't take it upon myself to take people to war, so I'll take a moment to go over and talk to her."
Ning Yuhe nodded: "Empress Cui has a great kindness to me, it stands to reason that I should stay with her, but Empress Cui's temperament is really different, I feel very strange when I chat with her, obviously I look and listen to the simple, but I feel that I can't hide anything from her......"
Xu Buling empathizes with this:
"yes, it looks a little white......"
Xiaobai?
Ning Yuhe's face turned red when he heard the indecent words, his legs moved away from Xu Buling's waist, and he turned around slightly:
"Ling'er, why are you so open-mouthed? It's okay to call me Dabai in private, I'm your woman after all, Queen Cui is an innocent daughter, can you talk nonsense? ”
Xu Buling was a little innocent: "The Xiaobai I said is not the kind of ...... that the master thinks"
Zhongli Jiujiu lay down for a while, recovered a little, opened his eyes at this time, raised his hand and touched it under Ning Yuhe's flying phoenix wings:
"That Queen Cui is also not a ...... like Hehe"
Ning Yu was excited, raised his hand and grabbed Zhongli Jiujiu's wrist: "Dead mother-in-law, do you believe that I will shave you now?" ”
"Ah~It hurts~......"
Zhong Li Jiujiu frowned, his martial arts were not as high as Ning Yuhe, and he was caught off guard by his arm, and suddenly let out a soft snort.
Xu Buling was reluctant to let the master beat his daughter-in-law, so he hurriedly grabbed Ning Yuhe and separated his hands.
While the three of them were fighting, two bird calls suddenly came from outside the window. Then the sound of footsteps came from far and near, towards the courtyard, and it was heard clearly in the night.
Xu Buling paused, listened attentively, and was slightly puzzled:
"It's not a baby, it seems to be Chu Chu."
Zhongli Jiujiu also heard the footsteps, his face turned red, and he hurriedly pushed Xu Buling: "You guys go quickly, don't let Chu Chu see it." ”
Xu Buling slept in his own house, with his rightful daughter-in-law, naturally there was no need to hide, and thought about it:
"I'm here with you tonight, and I know it in the house, and I didn't hide it from Chu Chu, she probably came to find me."
Ning Yuhe was a little embarrassed, she came secretly, but it was not easy to be bumped into. But it's a bit troublesome to get up and put on a skirt now, Chu Chu knows that Xu Buling is here, and it is estimated that she won't come in, she thought about it, then held her breath and condensed, and lay quietly without making a sound......
------
The silver moon hung in the sky, and thousands of miles of yellow sand and streets and buildings turned gray and white in the moonlight.
In the verandah of the back house, Zhong Li Chuchu, dressed in a red gauze skirt, walked slowly to the master's courtyard, his green eyes with a few points of crystal light in the night, and he didn't look scary against the backdrop of his gorgeous appearance, but with a few different charms.
In the afternoon, the order came, and Xu Buling prepared to load the girls on the ship and go out together as before. The girl in the back house was naturally very happy, and even Ning Qing cleaned up her things neatly at night, and also mocked Xiao Manzhi, who was not high in martial arts and couldn't follow her closely. Needless to say, Song Yufu has just been married to Yan'er, and wherever she is willing to part with her husband, she regrets that she didn't practice martial arts when she was a child, otherwise she could follow Xu Buling's side.
Zhongli Chuchu didn't speak, but her mind was obviously tangled - she was not Xu Buling's woman, she was just Xu Buling's woman's apprentice, and she had nothing to do with Xu Buling, how could she directly arrange her to follow, it felt the same as acquiescing that she was a woman who Xu Buling.
If you don't follow, it's impossible to stay in Suzhou alone, what Ning Yuhe said last time also makes sense, you can't just say goodbye to Xu Buling and Master because of the current situation, you still have to be together.
But follow it, and I feel like I'm too upside down.
Obviously, they have nothing to do with each other, even if they want her to follow, at least they have to talk to her, saying something like 'ask her for help' or 'worry about your safety', so it is really a little unhappy to directly acquiesce that she will follow.
Zhongli Chuchu couldn't fall asleep at night, and felt that he still had to come over and be arrogant, pretending not to follow or anything, so as not to be too self-righteous.
However, Zhongli Chuchu is also smarter than before, and he came here now because the master is also there, and he will definitely not let her go; If she said it to Xu Buling alone, in case Xu Buling was the same as before, and asked her to 'let's go, let's go', she would be dumbfounded.
Walking slowly to the master's courtyard, the little sparrow stood on the wall and chirped, obviously reminding the people inside.
Zhongli Chuchu's eyes sank, and he made a gesture to wipe his neck.
!
The little sparrow hurriedly closed its beak, turned its head on the courtyard wall, and poked out its little claws and pushed a few pine nuts forward.
Zhongli Chuchu was satisfied, slowly walked into the quiet courtyard, and said:
"Master, are you sleeping?"
In the room, Zhong Li Jiujiu's response soon came:
"Chu Chu, why are you here? Well...... The teacher has already slept......"
Zhongli Chuchu did not stop, and walked directly to the door:
"It's okay if you're not asleep."
"Eh~!"
Zhongli Jiujiu snorted lightly and said anxiously, "Don't come in, Xianggong...... Xu Buling is here, I ...... I'm a side concubine, what is my turn today......"
Zhongli Chuchu came to find Xu Buling, and naturally knew that Xu Buling was inside, so she didn't stop, just said:
"He's just right, and I have to talk to him about something."
Pushing open the door between words, Zhong Li Chuchu turned his eyes, the curtain swayed, and he retracted a hand, which should be picking up something on the ground, obviously not finished picking it up, and the leg ring or something still fell on the ground......
