Chapter 95: Invitation to Tea
Changing back into women's clothes, Nangong Keqing nested herself in the bedroom and refused to go out, and the housekeeper called for lunch a few times, but Nangong Keqing prevaricated for various reasons.
Until Qi Qingxuan walked into her room, "Why don't you go to eat after calling a few times?" ”
Nangong Keqing knew that he was coming in, and it was impossible to stop him, he couldn't beat him, and he was under the fence, so it wasn't certain who let who let him out!
Nangong Keqing crouched on the tatami table and muttered, "I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat." ”
"How can you not be hungry when you wake up so early?" Qi Qingxuan coaxed patiently.
Nangong Keqing didn't look at him, Qi Qingxuan saw that she was angry, which made the little character look very helpless, "Zhishu, go, bring lunch over, this king and your young lady eat here." ”
"You ......" Nangong Keqing raised his head suddenly, pouted and couldn't say a word in annoyance.
Looking at a table of dishes in front of her, she was even more depressed, she was already hungry, but she didn't want to eat at the same table with him.
"Eat it, it won't taste good if it gets cold for a while." Qi Qingxuan picked up the chopsticks and handed them to him.
Nangong Keqing passively took the chopsticks, watching Qi Qingxuan keep preparing vegetables for herself, Nangong Keqing was a little moved, and she no longer had a temperament, and ate the dishes covered with dishes one by one.
"Your favorite cold lotus root slices, eat more." Qi Qingxuan watched her finish eating his dishes, and knew that she was relieved. "When are you going to open?"
Nangong Keqing swallowed a mouthful of food and said, "It's going to be more than two months!" Not so fast. ”
"If you need anything, you can go to this king." Qi Qingxuan is still worried about finding a shop for her, would she rather find someone else than him?
Nangong Keqing didn't think too much about it, and glanced at him, "Oh! "Yes.
"Have a good afternoon of rest! You don't have to go around with you. ”
Qi Qingxuan rarely gave her half a day off! There's no need to ask her to serve tea and pour water.
Nangong Keqing was overjoyed, as if she had received a great grace, "Thank you for the master's reward." Her flattering words came out of her mouth with excitement.
Qi Qingxuan was speechless, did she not like to be by his side so much? "In the future, you are not allowed to call the master arbitrarily, this king does not like it." He was very uncomfortable with her self-proclaimed.
Nangong Keqing didn't expect him to be so serious, so he explained: "Oops! My good lord, I'm not kidding you! ”
"It's not a joke." Qi Qingxuan just didn't like her to call her like this, and she was very unhappy.
Nangong Keqing thought about it and felt that it was more appropriate to call him the prince. "Let's call you the prince!"
"You don't have to call the prince."
Nangong Keqing Mu Ne asked, "What is that calling you?" What else is there besides these two titles that she doesn't know?
"It's the same as before." Qi Qingxuan stared at her and said seriously.
Nangong Keqing savored what he said, before? Did he say it when he was called by his name? "No, no! Am I not your personal maid now? It's not appropriate to call it a name. ”
"What do you look like a maid now?" Qi Qingxuan was very dissatisfied with her answer, so he turned around and asked.
Nangong Keqing was speechless for a while, yes! What does she look like when she comes here?
Qi Qingxuan didn't let her do any tiring work at all, except for serving tea and pouring water, grinding ink, and playing around with a feather duster, or changing clothes and wide clothes.
To say that their current relationship is really inexplicable, compared to Nangong Keqing, it is indeed a little deeper.
And Qi Qingxuan's affection for Nangong Keqing seems to be nothing, and it seems that the man's love is deeper.
Sometimes, the relationship has actually developed to the level of boyfriend and girlfriend, but the relationship has not been formalized, at this time, it takes courage to pierce this layer of relationship paper.
In Nangong Keqing's concept of love, she has always been a reserved and passive existence, and she will not take the initiative, she feels that taking the initiative is what only men should do.
In this relationship, she doesn't want to want to understand, she is afraid that if she thinks too clearly, she will only make herself unhappy and sad.
At the end of the meal, both of them were silent.
Dusk came, and the sunset burned like a flame, obscuring half of the sky.
Nangong Keqing leaned comfortably on the swing and swayed gently, listening to music with headphones plugged in her ears.
The bare little feet arched their calves, playing the melody from time to time, and the flowing white gauze skirt and flying long hair formed a beautiful picture.
When Qi Qingxuan walked into the courtyard, he saw Nangong Keqing's scene of being immortal and humming a little tune, and the dreamlike beauty gently swung into Qi Qingxuan's heart.
She was still immersed in her own world, and she didn't even pay attention to the people who came.
Nangong Keqing's ethereal voice like a heavenly voice sang low from her lips: "The first time I saw it, I made a vow, the wind blew the clouds, and I asked what year it was."
I hope that the obsession will be reincarnated for many years
How many times do flowers bloom and fall in the snap of a finger
The entanglement and entanglement of this life touched the heartstrings
I don't know if I can see you again in the next life
Leave a piece of peach blossom to commemorate it, but it is a floating fate
Between my eyebrows, there are also my thoughts
An inch of soil, a year of wood, a flower, a tree, a covetous
......" song ends.
"That's good."
Nangong Keqing came back to her senses when she heard a low male voice, and in a panic, she didn't care about putting on her shoes, and even the golden hairpin on her head slipped down.
Pi Qingxuan pressed her back onto the swing, frowned slightly, and her voice was soft but with a bit of reproach: "What are you panicking about?" Put your shoes on, it's cold on the ground. ”
His big strong palms gently lifted her little white feet, gently wiped the dust, and then put on her shoes and socks.
Nangong Keqing was stunned for a while, looking at his tall and majestic body actually half-bent, doing such an intimate thing for her, she was even more confused.
Nangong Keqing retracted her foot in embarrassment, "Thank you." ”
"What's the name of this song?"
Nangong Keqing replied solemnly: "Peach Blossom Nuo." ”
Pi Qingxuan didn't expect that she sang so well, like heaven. "At the beginning of next month, there will be a lake tour, and you can participate with this king."
Pi Qingxuan was not interested in such an activity at all, it was all for Nangong Keqing, afraid that she would panic in the mansion, so he invited her to participate together.
Nangong Keqing came to the scene and was curious, "Swimming in the lake?" What's that event? "Sounds interesting.
"It's hilarious, and you're going to like it anyway." Qi Qingxuan didn't explain too much, turned around and left, leaving Nangong Keqing there in a daze.
The so-called lake cruise is a cruise, a kind of entertainment and leisure activities, in the cruise ship, dignitaries, talented and beautiful women or drink for fun, chant poetry, or negotiate political affairs, ladies often cover their faces with silk scarves, boating on the lake.
Nangong Keqing was curious about this lake swimming meeting, and thought about it as if grass had grown, "What is the lake swimming meeting he is talking about?" Another day, ask Zhishu and Zhiqiu. ”
These days, Nangong Keqing is also accustomed to the life of the palace, and she seems to have really become a "personal maid" to Pi Qingxuan all day long.
Recently, she felt that she Qingxuan took a lot of care of her, and invited her to participate in the lake tour, she was very happy, in order to express her gratitude to him, no, she tinkered in the courtyard for a while, everything is ready only to owe the east wind.
When Pi Qingxuan approached the courtyard, he saw this scene......
Wearing a pure white fluttering long dress, only a tassel silver hairpin on the head is inserted diagonally in the bun, and the long hair flows down, revealing a graceful neck and clearly visible collarbones, a delicate face without powder, beautiful and refined, sitting in front of the tea party.
An exquisite plain tea mat, a set of exquisite tea sets, a pot bearing, a water bowl, and a pot of fresh and elegant flowers and bamboos on the table, which should be placed on it, constitute most of the tea ceremony.
Fresh and elegant, with a unique character.
Nangong Keqing gracefully made a gesture of please, and Qi Qingxuan sat opposite her with a low body, looking at her next movements with deep and deep eyes, which made him even more admired.
The master makes tea, raises his hand and lowers his head, the whole process is done in one go, like flowing water, which can't help but make people feel incredible, how can a pair of hands make such elegant movements.
Pi Qingxuan looked at her elegant tea making with a stubborn gaze, and her eyes were a little soft, a little inquisitive, and a little amazing.
Put the teacup on the tray, gently and evenly, without breaking the soul of the tea, and serve it with both hands.
Qi Qingxuan took the blue and white porcelain and held it in the palm of his hand, holding the weight, smelling the fragrance of tea, sipping in small sips, and full of fragrance.
He couldn't help but admire: "The buds stand upright, up and down, like jade; The soup is green and clear, the aroma is elegant, the taste is mellow, the aftertaste is sweet, the color, the fragrance and the taste are complete, it is the best product. This tea is unheard of...... What is the name of this tea? ”
Nangong Keqing smiled and explained: "This tea is called Yuhua Tea, with its green brown color, elegant aroma and glycol, its appearance is like pine needles, thin and round. After brewing, it will be like snowflakes floating in the bowl, and the water surface will suddenly appear white, such as white clouds rolling, snowflakes flying, and it is very good-looking. ”
Pi Qingxuan nodded in agreement and said lightly: "I see, it is worthy of the name." ”
She refilled the tea for Qi Qingxuan, "The prince is not busy today?" ”
Today she is very different, every time she used to accompany her, there was a slight reluctance, but now she took the initiative to invite tea.
The tea-making look was graceful and firm, calm and elegant, and he was shocked to find that he liked the way she made tea.
According to her temperament, it doesn't seem like she takes the initiative to show goodwill, she jumps off on weekdays, tricks up, and occasionally blows up, does she have something to ask for? "Hmmm! Not busy. ”
He waited for her for a while, added tea a few times, and still didn't wait.
So, he asked, "Why did you invite us to have tea today?"
"I heard that the prince likes tea, the little woman has learned the tea ceremony with her grandfather since she was a child, and recently the prince took care of the little woman, the little woman was very grateful, and wanted to share this good treasure together, so she invited each other to taste tea."
Nangong Keqing was unpretentious, and her demeanor was generous, as dignified as everyone's ladies.
For a while, Qi Qingxuan was a little uncomfortable, or he was used to her occasional jump.
"Rare."
