Chapter 62: Comfort
"If you can't do this little thing, then what use do I want from you?" Gong Xiuzhu casually spit out a sentence.
At the same time, his slender fingertips slowly slid over the dirty porcelain bowl.
He suddenly tightened his brow again, for he saw the black charcoal dust stained on his fingertipsβ
Li Feng's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly took out a snow-white brocade from his arms and sent it over.
Gong Xiuzhu stretched out his hand and let the strong wind wipe the stains off his fingertips.
There was no expression on Li Feng's face. On weekdays, as long as Gong Xiuzhu has a look, he can understand what he means.
So at the moment when Gong Xiuzhu stopped, Li Feng opened the lid of the steamer cleanly.
In an instant, a fragrant rose fragrance diffused in the study.
Unlike the strong sweetness of pastries on weekdays, this rose fragrance is light, but it can easily refresh people's hearts.
Looking at the steamer again, I saw a light porcelain bowl with four crystal clear small pastries.
In the very center of the pastry is a rose tip that is intact.
Gong Xiuzhu's eyes flashed, obviously he didn't expect a girl as big as Chu Xuewei to have such cooking skills.
Mr. Qian is extremely knowledgeable about food on weekdays, but when he saw this pastry today, he couldn't help but admire: "Lord Wang, this pastry is really good." β
Gong Xiuzhu raised his eyes coldly and glanced at him: "You haven't tasted it, how do you know it's good?" β
Mr. Qian smiled and stepped forward: "Just by looking at the tips of the roses in this pastry, you know that this process is not simple. I don't know which chef made it, but can I order him to go to Fei Hung Lou and make me some tastings? β
Mr. Qian's words had just fallen, and Leng Buding saw Gong Xiuzhu's expression instantly cold by eight points.
He was confused, and he didn't know where he had said the wrong thing.
Li Feng looked at Mr. Qian with a puzzled look from the second monk, so he had to shake his head secretly in his heart:
I saw it really just now, and the prince came from the direction of Xiaozhu.
And since he entered the door, the prince's eyes have been glued to the steamer and have not left. Even if you think about it with your toes, you know that this pastry must have been made by the princess herself!
Dare to ask the princess to cook something for him to eat, Mr. Qian, you can ask for more blessings!
"It seems that the food in Feihong Building has not been very good recently?" Gong Xiuzhu glanced at Mr. Qian coldly.
Mr. Qian didn't seem to come back to his senses yet, thinking that he was looking for a reason casually, maybe the prince would lend this cook to himself.
So he nodded heavily: "That's right, that's right, Lord Wang, don't you make me hungry?" So the prince thinks it's better to lend me this cook for a few days! β
"Oh, really?" Gong Xiuzhu's voice became colder and colder.
Mr. Qian smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes!" β
"In that case...... Gong Xiuzhu snorted coldly, "Then you can simply go to Zizhen Pavilion for half a month." Ku Niang is the best at making medicinal diets that regulate the body, so that she can give you a good life to make up for you. β
As soon as he heard this, Mr. Qian's smile just now disappeared.
He choked on his own saliva, and almost didn't get angry, thinking that he had heard it wrong: "Lord Wang, I'm strong, I don't need to make it up...... Forget it, I don't want the cook, and I won't go to the Treasure Pavilion......"
"Humph!" Gong Xiuzhu just glanced at him coldly and didn't speak.
Mr. Qian was restless at this time, and he couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly out of this mausoleum city immediately.
However, Gong Xiuzhu commanded coldly when this thought first came to him: "Li Feng, tomorrow you will send someone to escort Mr. Qian to Zizhen Pavilion, so that you can recuperate for half a month and then return to Feihong Tower." β
Li Feng couldn't hold back his smile, and bowed down and responded: "Yes!" β
After "......" knew that Gong Xiuzhu's mind had been decided, Mr. Qian's whole person was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and his soul was instantly hollowed out.
"It's business as usual at night." After Gong Xiuzhu finished speaking, he waved his hand and signaled them to retreat.
Li Feng and Mr. Qian walked out of the study one after the other, and then Li Feng finally couldn't help laughing.
"Strongwind, IβI'm just borrowing a cook! You say, how can the prince be so ruthless as to send me to that place? Mr. Qian scratched his scalp, but he still didn't know which sentence he didn't say correctly.
Li Feng smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Qian, do you know who the cook you want to borrow is?" β
Mr. Qian was full of grievances at this time, and muttered unhappily: "It's best to be the imperial chef in the palace!" It's not like I haven't borrowed it before, so why ...... today?"
"This time, the prince really can't be generous." A strong wind blows a cool breeze on the side.
Mr. Qian was even more angry and aggrieved now: "Why can't you be generous?" Tell me about it. β
Li Feng forcibly endured the twitching of the corners of his mouth, and slowly spoke: "Because the little cook in your mouth is the Seventh Princess." β
"I ......" Mr. Qian instantly choked in his throat, as if he had been strangled fiercely.
As if he couldn't believe his ears, he lowered his voice and asked Li Feng, "What do you mean...... Do you mean that the pastry just now was made by the princess for the prince? β
Li Feng nodded expressionlessly: "Hmm! β
When he boarded, Mr. Qian only felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He dared to say those things to the prince, and what did he say to borrow it for a few days......
According to the prince's usual temper, he is already very gracious if he doesn't take off his head and kick it as a ball!
"Now, do you still feel wronged by sending you to the Treasure Pavilion?" Li Feng glanced at Mr. Qian.
Mr. Qian dared to say anything more, so he could only shake his head resignedly, turned around and clasped his fists towards the door of the study and said loudly: "Thank you for your kindness!" β
And in that study, Li Feng and Mr. Qian had just left, and Gong Xiuzhu looked at the delicate and beautiful pastries, frowning slightly.
However, after only a moment's hesitation, he still picked up a small ball and took a sip.
Sweet but not greasy, it melts in your mouth, and after swallowing, it seems that there are bursts of rose fragrance lingering in your mouth.
The Seventh Prince, who has never eaten sweets, actually ate all the pastries for the first time today......
The sky is getting darker, and the weather in the middle of summer is changing.
During the day, the sun was shining, but at night lightning and thunder began to roar, and the endless dark clouds pressed down as if the sky was about to fall.
Chu Xuewei tilted her head and leaned on the window of the bedroom: "That big devil said that he would give me a return gift at night, what could it be?" β
She was wandering in a daze when there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.
Chu Xuewei turned her head and saw that it was a hydrangea with a wicked smile on her face: "Princess, the prince invites you over." β
"Please come over?" Chu Xuewei was so frightened that her little hands shook, and her head almost hit the window.
She hurriedly stood up, turned around and walked towards the house: "Hydrangea, hurry back to your lord, just say I won't go." It's all dark this day, and the lonely men and widows are in the same room, which has a bad impact. β
Hydrangea looked at her innocently at this time: "But princess, you and the prince are husband and wife." How can you who have worshipped heaven and earth be considered lonely men and widows? β
"Well, I'm not going either!"
Chu Xuewei sat on the edge of the bed with her buttocks, clasping the pillar next to the bed with both hands.
The night is hazy, the outside is gloomy, and it will rain heavily at any time.
For the sake of her chastity, she couldn't even go to death!
Hydrangea walked up to Chu Xuewei, tilted her little head to look at her, and muttered in her mouth: "The prince is really like a god!" β
"What did you say?" Chu Xuewei looked up puzzled.
Hydrangea grinned: "The prince said, you definitely won't go." So if you don't come over with a stick of incense, he'll come here to sleep tonight. β
"What?" As soon as Chu Xuewei heard this, she immediately took the case.
Oh my God, can this guy Gong Xiuzhu be a little more shameless?
He knew that there were hydrangeas and Yuanguang living in this small building, and he would never let him come here for the night!
That's why that sinister and cunning guy threatens himself with this, right?
Hydrangea blinked her eyes wide and looked at Chu Xuewei innocently: "Princess, I was accidentally delayed on the road just now, and now it's time for a stick of incense, do you want to go over?" β
Chu Xuewei couldn't help grinding her teeth fiercely, and her brain was blank in anger. But suddenly my eyes lit up.
"Wait for me, I'll be out right away."
After saying this, Chu Xuewei went straight into the inner room.
When he came out again, he had several more clothes on him.
Hydrangea looked at her princess dumbfounded, and her eyes were about to fall to the ground: "Princess, ...... are you?"
Chu Xuewei vigorously tied the strap of the last coat fiercely: "I'm afraid that your prince will see my graceful figure and move evil thoughts, so it's safer to do this!" β
After tidying up the clothes, Chu Xuewei walked in the direction of Yanghui Pavilion with confidence.
This was not the first time she had entered Yanghui Pavilion, but the closer she got closer, Chu Xuewei's heartbeat accelerated inexplicably.
In the closed study, there was a faint candlelight.
The slender figure was reflected on the door frame and fell into Chu Xuewei's eyes.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and then reached out and pushed the door of the study open: "Lord Wang, are you looking for me?" β
In the inner room of the study, Gong Xiuzhu was wearing a plain robe, holding a scroll, and was reading quietly.
Hearing Chu Xuewei's voice, his handsome eyebrows raised slightly and raised his eyes.
However, seeing Chu Xuewei wrapped like a zongzi, Gong Xiuzhu's beautiful eyes darkened.
Gong Xiuzhu elegantly put down the scroll in his hand and got up: "How can I remember that it is the middle of summer in Sanfu, not the cold winter of Sanjiu?" β
I'm not stupid, how could I not know!
Chu Xuewei complained loudly in her heart: If it weren't for the fact that you are a big rascal, how could I be like this, I would be dying of heat!
Chu Xuewei stepped forward with a smile and stretched out her finger to the gloomy weather outside: "Isn't it about to rain, I have been weak since I was a child, and I was afraid that I would get cold, so I wore an extra one." β
Gong Xiuzhu walked up to her, leaned forward, and gently stroked the long hair of her shawl with her slender fingertips.
On the back of Chu Xuewei's slender neck, fine and dense beads of sweat came out, and a lot of hair was wet and clinging to her neck.
"Only one shirt?" Gong Xiuzhu ruthlessly debunked Chu Xuewei's desire to cover up.
There are layers of inside and outside here, so there must be three or four pieces, right?
This little fox is not afraid of smothering himself out of illness?
Chu Xuewei smiled dryly: "I'm weak?" β
Gong Xiuzhu glanced at her lightly: "Of course." It's just that you really have to wear so much? β
As soon as she heard this, Chu Xuewei suddenly had an alarm bell in her heart: I knew that this guy was beating his own idea!
So, Chu Xuewei nodded categorically: "That's right, just wear so much!" β
"Don't take it off?"
"Absolutely not!"
"Okay then." Gong Xiuzhu suppressed the smile in his eyes, as if he had compromised.
Just when Chu Xuewei was just breathing a sigh of relief, she suddenly found that her waist was tightened in shock.
In the next moment, he actually soared directly into the air.
"Ahh Almost subconsciously, she wrapped her hands and feet around Gong Xiuzhu's chest.
This guy did it again, and flew out of the window with her in his arms.
"Gong Xiuzhu, you, you, what are you doing, let me go!" Chu Xuewei was shocked and could only protest loudly.
Gong Xiuzhu didn't even move his eyelids: "We can be eight zhang high now, are you sure you want me to put you down?" β
Chu Xuewei was angry: "You ...... Shame on you! β
Gong Xiuzhu chuckled: "Hold it tight, don't let go." β
Before the words fell, Gong Xiuzhu was angry, and the whole person was like lightning, rushing directly to the inky sky......
During the whole process, Chu Xuewei buried her head in Gong Xiuzhu's arms.
Looking up, there were dark clouds that pressed black, as if the entire sky could fall at any moment.
Chu Xuewei even felt that as long as she stretched out her hand, she could touch the clouds in the sky.
It was pitch black underfoot, and only a few sparse lights could be seen in the distance.
"Gong Xiuzhu, where are you going to take me!"
Chu Xuewei asked weakly in his arms.
At this time, they had been "flying" in the air for a long time, and Chu Xuewei's stomach seemed to be constantly bubbling with sour water.
Gong Xiuzhu glanced down at her, but slowly spoke: "It's coming soon." β
Before he could finish speaking, he took some luck and jumped on a branch farther.
"......" Chu Xuewei forcibly held back her dizzy feeling and reached out to climb Gong Xiuzhu's neck.
Only then will she not be so strenuous .
With Chu Xuewei's movements, Gong Xiuzhu only felt that there was a faint aroma of medicine coming to his face.
Soft in his arms, his dark eyes flashed.
Her right hand also attached to her slender waist and tightened it a little tighter.
Although the little fox is tall, it is really light to hold.
For Gong Xiuzhu, who has been practicing martial arts for many years, it is very easy to pick her up with one hand.
It seemed that at this moment, something warm in Gong Xiuzhu's chest was slowly overflowing, so slow that he couldn't even notice it.
After about a quarter of an hour, Gong Xiuzhu finally stopped.
It was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see my fingers at all.
He was about to let go, but suddenly found that Chu Xuewei in his arms was now lying on his chest, sleeping soundly.
"......" he frowned in displeasure and reached for her nose.
However, as soon as she touched the tip of her delicate nose, she was waved away by Chu Xuewei impatiently, and her mouth was still vague: "Oops...... Hydrangea, don't make ......."
"......" Gong Xiuzhu was speechless for a while.
At this moment, Li Feng came from the shadows, holding a torch in his hand, and walked closer and closer.
"Lord Wang, everything is ready."
"Okay." Gong Xiuzhu nodded, "What about the carriage?" β
Li Feng hurriedly turned around and brought Gong Xiuzhu to the front of the carriage.
Gong Xiuzhu picked Chu Xuewei up horizontally, bowed forward, and sat in the carriage.
The low door of the carriage was wide open, and eight night pearls reflected the inside of the carriage as if it were daytime.
Gong Xiuzhu sat upright, hesitated, and still put Chu Xuewei on his lap.
However, this move, Chu Xuewei in her sleep looked very unhappy. He writhed and writhed, trying to find the most comfortable position to sit.
Finally found it, she put her face on Gong Xiuzhu's chest again, hugged his sturdy waist with both hands affectionately, smacked her mouth with satisfaction, and continued to sleep.
But during the whole process, Gong Xiuzhu stiffened his body, and the color in his deep eyes became more and more intense.
"Hmm...... Heatβ"
But after a while, Chu Xuewei began to hum and frown again.
Gong Xiuzhu glanced at her coldly, his heart was full of disdain: In such a hot weather, how could it not be hot when there were so many pieces worn in the inner and outer three layers?
He was about to reach out and take off some of her coats, but as if he had thought of something, he withdrew his hand.
Immediately afterwards, he wrapped his hands and hugged the little man in his arms tighter.
His anger sank into the dantian, and the blood and qi around his body began to circulate rapidly, and his originally slightly cool body gradually became hotter.
"Hmm...... It's so hot......"
Chu Xuewei even had fine and dense sweat on her forehead at this moment.
She fell asleep in a daze, trying to struggle but unable to move.
But the more aggrieved she became, the more stuffy it became, Chu Xuewei simply competed with herself, and stretched out her hand to pull her shirt: "It's so hot!" β
The smile in Gong Xiuzhu's eyes became more and more intense, looking at her movements, there was no thought in his heart to stop it.
Chu Xuewei is very hot now, and her little face is flushed.
After a while, he reached out and took off his three coats.
At this time, she only had one of her original thin shirts on her.
Chu Xuewei lay on her chest, and fine beads of sweat slid down her snow-white slender neck.
This unconscious action made Gong Xiuzhu look at his throat and move.
In any case, he was only a young man in his early twenties, and at this moment, he felt that the blood around his body was rushing towards one place.
When did he lose even that bit of self-control?
Thinking of this, Gong Xiuzhu inexplicably began to get angry.
A pair of handsome handsome eyebrows furrowed, and as soon as his hands were loosened, he pushed Chu Xuewei aside.
Over there, Chu Xuewei was pushed, and her muddy eyes were about to wake up, but there was a sudden thunder outside the carriage.
"Boomβ"
A loud sound accompanied by lightning lit up the whole world as if it were daylight.
This also scared Chu Xuewei, who was half asleep, into a thrilling spirit and completely woke up.
"Ahh
After an exclamation, Chu Xuewei subconsciously covered her ears.
But this time she lowered her head, Chu Xuewei saw the coats scattered all over the place.
Seeing the scene in front of her, Chu Xuewei was so frightened that her soul flew away. grabbed the clothes on his chest tightly, raised his head and glared at Gong Xiuzhu sadly: "Gong Xiuzhu, you, what have you done to me!" β
Gong Xiuzhu was still angry with himself at this moment, seeing Chu Xuewei's panicked appearance, her face was even less colorful.
He snorted coldly: "This sentence should have been asked by me!" β
"You ask me?" Chu Xuewei was stunned for a moment.
Gong Xiuzhu squinted at her in disgust: "I have never seen anyone who can fly in the sky and fall asleep, and what is even more strange is that someone still has to hold me after falling asleep, and even later began to undress when he shouted hot." If I hadn't pushed you away, who knows what you'd do to me. β
He was too sure of what he said word by word, and that look made Chu Xuewei unable to find the slightest loophole.
"You mean, I ...... the clothes myself" Chu Xuewei looked incredulous.
Gong Xiuzhu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Otherwise?" β
At this moment, Chu Xuewei suddenly remembered the dream she had when she had just gone to sleep.
In the dream, she was roasted on the stove and wrapped in more than a dozen layers of thick quilts.
She was so hot that she began to peel off the quilt from her body layer by layer.
Don't...... It wasn't a dream just now, but it was actually picking up my own clothes?
After realizing this, Chu Xuewei's little face instantly turned red.
"That...... That one...... Why didn't you stop me just now, really......" She snorted and tried to find a crack in the ground for herself to get into.
Gong Xiuzhu was still perseveringly dismantling the stage: "It seems that someone told me just now that I have been weak since I was a child, and now the sky is about to change, so I must wear a few more clothes." And men and women don't kiss, if I stop it, what if you take the opportunity to rely on me? β
"......" Chu Xuewei's face was full of black lines.
She has already seen Gong Xiuzhu's cheekiness, but being thick enough can be regarded as refreshing her three views.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Chu Xuewei hurriedly turned her head to the side, and with the bright light from the night pearl, she looked at the dark night outside the car window, and deliberately changed the topic: "Uh...... What kind of place is this, what are you bringing me here for? β
"Boomβ"
Before Chu Xuewei's words were finished, there was lightning and thunder outside the window.
The deafening thunder startled her heart, turned around and pounced, and crashed into Gong Xiuzhu's chest impartially.
Seeing that the little face that was still red just now turned a little pale, Gong Xiuzhu hurriedly retracted the idea of wanting to tease her, and just said: "Are you afraid of thunder?" β
Chu Xuewei's little face turned white, and she just smiled dryly: "I think, it should be a girl who will be afraid......"
Gong Xiuzhu's deep eyes flashed, as if he had guessed something.
He softened his voice a little: "It's going to rain soon, and when the rain falls, you won't hear the thunder." β
Chu Xuewei was stunned when she heard this, is this big devil comforting herself?
However, this idea had just popped up, and she was quickly vetoed.
It's impossible, this big devil has always teased and hit himself for fun, how can he comfort himself now?
