Chapter 171: The Boat is Leisurely
"Weichen Qiao Shuo (Zhu Xiaolong) see the emperor!"
Xia Hongying sat on the main seat and looked at the two people who bowed below: "Xiaolong, Xiaoshuo, this is Qinghui Garden." When there is no one else, these are exempted, and you can call me Red Sakura as before. ”
"Red ......" Xiaolong was about to answer, but was stopped by Xiao Shuo.
"There is a difference between respect and inferiority, etiquette cannot be abolished, Qiao Shuo does not dare to call his son by his name."
"Xiao Shuo, you are still so cautious. At this time, after a long time, even you have seen me outside, have you forgotten our former righteous relationship? The height is unbearable, is it that if I sit in this position, I am destined to be alone. ”
"Childe, isn't there someone who is different?"
Xia Hongying knew who Xiao Shuo was referring to, thinking of Xue Qing, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, these days, he could clearly feel that the snow in her heart was slowly melting.
Seeing this, Xiao Shuo immediately said, "I don't know if Gongzi called us here this time, what important things do you order?" ”
"There will be some problems in the palace in a few days, and someone needs to clean up the aftermath. I must hand it over to someone who can be trusted and high-sounding. ”
Xiao Shuo said respectfully: "Childe can rest assured. "This matter is simple to say, but the stakes are very high, and the two of them were called here just because the emperor thought that they were confidants and brothers.
"In addition, here in Shuzhou, I also need you to help me take care of it."
Xiao Shuo pulled Xiaolong and knelt down: "Thank you, Childe!" ”
"Hmm. When you see Xue Qing, don't do this, lest she feel uncomfortable. ”
"The subordinates understand. Childe, when we went out of the city, we noticed that there was some change on Madame's side. ”
"Ma'am?"
"When the two of us set off, my wife was about to come to Shuzhou to find my son, and I should have already left at this moment......"
Xia Hongying's smile narrowed: "She made a mess for me!" Go down first, and send someone to keep an eye on you. ”
"Yes!"
Xue Qing was alone in the room again and didn't know what to draw, Xia Hongying was standing at the door, watching quietly, and he suddenly realized that he hadn't looked at her quietly like this for a long, long time. At this moment, she was smiling, and the corners of her mouth were curved, like the blooming peach blossoms. In an instant, he couldn't bear to step forward to disturb, just looking at her like this, his heart felt warm, and he only felt that the years were quiet.
It wasn't until she finished drawing, put down the pen, raised her hand and rubbed the tip of her nose, that Xia Hongying stepped forward and affectionately wiped off the ink she had stained on the tip of her nose with her sleeve: "What are you drawing?" ”
"See for yourself."
Natsu Hongying turned her gaze to rice paper, a vast expanse of meadow, dotted with colorful flowers in the turquoise. The sky was clear and bright, with a few white clouds floating in the blue blue, connecting with the green grass in the distance. The biggest highlight is that there are two people standing side by side on the ground, and two paper kites flying side by side in the air, both in pairs.
Xia Hongying's heart instantly turned into a pool of spring water, and she was really accepting him. She would draw a picture of the memories of the two of them, and did not shy away from letting him appear in her paintings, instead of replacing him with that person.
It's just that when he thinks of Lei Yulin, he can't help but sigh in his heart, this is too untimely, as long as he is given a little more time, a little more, he will be sure to hold the beauty.
"Xueqing, today is a sunny day, let's go boating."
Xue Qing's eyes bent into two crescents: "Okay! I want a boat, not a boat! ”
"That's what I thought too."
Take her to the forest that has been selected a long time ago, a lake water is embedded in the mountains, like a bright jewel, and a flat boat has already been parked on the edge of the lake.
Xia Hongying smiled: "Miss Li, please!" ”
Xue Qing smiled lightly, lifted the light gong and floated towards the boat, her toes touched the ground, and gently landed on the bow of the boat, and the water surface was flooded with very slight ripples, which blurred around and gradually subsided.
Xia Hongying walked to the lake unhurriedly, loosened the cable and got on the stern, rocked the boat, and the boat slowly left the lake and floated towards the center of the lake.
When the boat reached the middle of the lake, Xia Hongying stopped, leaned down, crossed the canopy, and stood side by side with her in the bow of the boat.
"How did it stop?"
"It's a great place to be."
Xue Qing pointed to the opposite bank and said, "I watched the lake flow in from the mountains, let's go to the tributaries over there to have a look." ”
"If you like, then go."
Xia Hongying came to the stern of the boat again, and drove the boat to the crowd that joined the lake.
The tributary is less than a zhang wide, hidden between two mountain peaks, and when you look up, the water and the sky form a line, which is a unique scenery. There are a few narrow places, and Xue Qing stands on the bow of the boat, reaching out to touch the rocks on both sides.
A little further on, a naturally formed stone bridge spans the creek at a height of about three feet. Xue Qing's body stood high, her toes leaned against one side of the rock, and after the two turned around, she gently landed on the stone bridge. Squatting down, holding his hands on, he sat down steadily, his feet dangling in the air, and threw a defiant look at Xia Hongying.
Seeing this, Xia Hongying sneered lightly, leaned over a few times, and landed on her side in an instant, and sat down like her. Xue Qing deliberately turned her head away from looking at him, and enjoyed the mountain scenery by herself. Listen to the breeze, listen to the murmur of the flowing water, listen to the swaying of the green leaves, and listen to the birds chirping.
Xia Hongying took out the candy from her arms, spread it in the palm of her hand and put it in front of her, Xue Qing smiled and took it into her mouth, seeing that she was about to finish eating, Xia Hongying held her head violently and leaned up to absorb the last trace of sweetness in her mouth. Love Chinese Network
This sudden invasion made Xue Qing lose her mind, almost didn't sit still, and the two of them fell down together. After parting, Xue Qing raised her fist and slapped him on the shoulder twice in annoyance, but Xia Hongying was not annoyed at all, only showed a wicked smile that the trick had succeeded.
At this height, even if it falls, with the kung fu of the two of them, it will not be injured, and it is not bad if they fall into the water together, thinking of this, the corners of his mouth hooked again.
"Boring! Let's go back! Xue Qing jumped back into the boat.
Xia Hongying also landed straight on the stern of the boat, and continued to sail forward in the boat.
"Didn't you say go back, why are you still moving forward?"
"This tributary is so narrow that the boat can't turn around, so it can only keep moving forward." Xia Hongying said meaningfully, "Xue Qing, we've arrived here, we can't go back." ”
"Then you go on, there will always be a wide place to turn around."
As the boat continued to move forward, the river was getting narrower and narrower instead of widening. A quarter of an hour later, seeing that there was a fork, Xia Hongying chose the road on the right-hand side, and after a while, it suddenly became clear. All the way forward, out of the river, it was like the same lake just now, and the boat stopped in the middle of the lake again.
Xia Hongying walked to the bow of the boat and sat down: "Rest." ”
"Hmm!" Xue Qing sat down beside him gently.
The afternoon sun was a little strong, very dazzling, and Xia Hongying pulled her into the tent to sit a little more.
"Xue Qing, I'm about to leave."
"Hmm." A simple word, there was a hint of sadness, she already felt it, and she was alone again in the future, and she didn't know where to go.
Xia Hongying turned her head, stared at her and said, "Xue Qing, I can't bear you." ”
Xue Qing lowered her head and rubbed the corners of her clothes with her fingers: "We will meet again in the future." ”
"Come back with me, okay? I won't let you be wronged in the slightest, I'll give you a little world of freedom. As long as you are in Guan Ju Palace, you are the biggest, and you can do whatever you want. ”
"And then?"
"And then?"
"Then I was imprisoned in that side of the world, and was the land king? Or is it jealous with a group of women and robbing a man? Or are you guarding the gate of the palace, looking forward to your arrival every day? ”
"If you go back with me, I can give you endless favor, and I won't let you look forward to it day and night."
"But Red Sakura, will I still be imprisoned in the palace walls? Over time, I have become like the rest of your harem, will you still spoil me alone? ”
"I can break some rules for you, I can do my best to give you the freedom you want, why can't you also take a step back? Xue Qing, I know that you are not the ruthless person, as long as you take a step back, you and I can last forever, why do you have to be so persistent? Isn't the time I give you, the affection I show, enough? ”
"Sakura, I'm sorry ......"
"You ......"
Xia Hongying wanted to be angry, but he was helpless, and he was reluctant to really hurt her, so he had to replace words with actions, and pounced on her to invade every inch of her territory. This time, she was surprisingly cooperative.
The man at the bow of the boat was long gone, and only a small boat was left in the lake.
Three days later, Jiang Ximing, the governor of Shuzhou Prefecture, was imprisoned and his home was raided on charges of corruption and dereliction of duty. The imperial court took down Jiang Ximing by thunderous means, and Qiao Shuo, who announced the decree, took over Jiang Ximing's official position on the spot.
Jiang Ximing jumped over the wall in a hurry, and actually sent out the guards he had privately raised, trying to escape the sanctions. However, the people of Ten Thousand Swords Villa were like surprise soldiers from the sky, and only You Lie ignored those guards, passed directly through the crowd, and restrained Jiang Ximing. The dragons were leaderless, and the guards knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and a farce ended.
Subsequently, Qiao Shuo led people to take down the governor of Shuzhou, and Zhu Xiaolong, the commander of the forbidden army, took over his position.
Xue Qing began to pack her bags, she knew that Xia Hongying's purpose of coming to Shuzhou this time had been achieved. Looking at the room full of things, Xue Qing wanted to take a lot of them with her, but in the end she decided not to want anything, only took a few sets of replacement clothes, and brought her savings from when she was in Yicui Pavilion.
A figure stood in front of her: "Have you really decided?" ”
Xue Qing raised her head and looked directly into the eyes of the person who came, staring at each other, staring at each other, and finally speechless.
"I know you have nowhere to go now, even if you don't want to go back to the palace with me, you can live in this Qinghui Garden, and as the master mother here, I will give you all this power. I'll come to see you whenever I'm free. ”
"Red Sakura, don't lie to me, I think the real housemother here will arrive tomorrow, what reason do I have to occupy her yard."
"She is the master of the harem, it doesn't mean that she is also the master of this Qinghui Garden, this mining courtyard, as long as you are willing."
"Red Sakura, I like the things here, but I can't take them with me. If you can, you can ask someone to keep it for me, and then come and get it when I settle down one day. ”
"Xueqing, you have to be so ruthless."
"I'm sorry, Sakura."
"Let's go. I'll keep this yard for you, and I won't let anyone touch a single plant or tree here. You will always be the host here and you are always welcome back. ”
"Thank you, Red Sakura."
