Chapter 53: Will You Be Reluctant?

The hour is approaching, and the moon is in the sky.

Hua Yue was like a ripe shrimp, and was carried to the bathhouse in the house with clothes and bedding, and seemed to bump into a few slaves along the way, she buried her head in the futon and listened to the sound, very ashamed and embarrassed.

"You can get up tomorrow and wash again."

Li Jingyun's eyes were full of smiles: "Didn't you say that it was uncomfortable?" ā€

"It's not hard now." She exasperated.

The heart was filled, Li Jingyun hugged the ball in his arms tightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't mess around, you won't sleep well later, it's still the master who is arguing." ā€

Taking a deep breath, Huayue gritted her teeth, thinking about it, it's just a few days, endure it, endure it again.

Reaching out to cover her hot face, she tilted her head against his chest and decided to play dead.

Li Jingyun carried her into the bath, and the person in her arms tried to resist with courtesy, righteousness and shame, but it was useless, and finally sat on the edge of the bath and let herself wash her hair.

"Husband." She kindly reminded him, "This work has always been done by maids. ā€

Pouring the warm water down, watching the three thousand silks pouring out like a waterfall, Li Jingyun's eyes were slightly deep, and she opened her ear and said, "Where does the maid know how to appreciate this beautiful scenery." ā€

There are just two white mist in the bath, what can be rewarded? Hua Yue wanted to glance at him, but suddenly realized what he was talking about.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

There was a bang, a splash bloomed in front of him, and the hair in his hand was like a smooth green snake, flying down and diving into the pool.

The people on the shore half-knelt on the dark marble, stared at the unseen water surface for a while, and suddenly laughed: "Don't hold back. ā€

Huayue is called an uncomfortable one, she is uncomfortable in the water, but she is ashamed to go up, she would rather hold it for a while.

From childhood to adulthood, who would dare to do this to her? People in the palace often say that she has a strange temper, is not easy to get along with, does not taste human warmth, and does not understand the joys and sorrows of the world, they are afraid of her, and they rarely get close to her.

After a long time, Kazuki really feels that she is a heartless freak.

As a result, now, she was hooked up with joy, anger, sorrow and sorrow by an even weirder fetus, and also hooked up seven emotions and six desires.

Li Jingyun really did what he said, he taught everything that Shen Zhiluo didn't teach her. Not only teach it once, but also take her to review it.

Shameless over and over again.

If it's not just a few days, or if it's—

Forget it, it's only a few days anyway.

A bubble bubbled out of the pool with a sullen breath, and Kazuki opened her eyes to see it rise to the surface, intending to follow up to take a breath.

As a result, before she could get up, there was a sudden "bang" sound of water next to her.

Someone followed into the water, and a broad hand ran under her arm.

The light in front of her eyes flashed, and Hua Yue spat and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"You have such a stubborn temper, and I can tolerate you." The person in front of him pulled her over, pinched the bath beans in his hand, and wiped them on her face without saying a word, "If you were someone else, just like you, you would have been out of the house a long time ago, and you still want to be the lady of the main room." ā€

Hua Yue dodged twice, frowned, and said, "Why did you suddenly want to set up the main room?" The concubine is not a person who is afraid of grievances, the maid is used to it, and she doesn't have to have a good title to live. ā€

Li Jingyun snorted: "Ye is happy." ā€

Looking at him with a complicated expression, she couldn't help but whisper: "You really don't have to spoil the concubine so much. ā€

She is used to kicking her nose and face, whoever spoils her, she is prone to lawlessness and is strict with her, but she can be calm and self-controlled.

In this situation, lawlessness is not a good thing.

There seemed to be a touch of shame on his face, but it was fleeting: "Which eye do you have to see that the master spoils you?" This is just the pomp that the master should have, last time I went back to Zhou Hemin's birthday banquet, didn't you still be wronged, the master will find you a venue. ā€

Last birthday party? Kazuki thought for a moment and wondered, "How do you know?" ā€

"Mrs. Xu Changyi said."

Mingshu, Hua Yue nodded, she still had the peanut crisp she gave last time, that is indeed a good person.

The water was a little cold, Li Jingyun washed her and carried her back to the east courtyard, Hua Yue's body was weak, her eyelids were heavy, and she rolled in to sleep next to the bed, but she didn't pay attention, and her waist hit the open wooden drawer in the bed, which made her "um" in pain.

Li Jingyun looked back when she heard this, and was slightly angry: "Don't look at it?" ā€

She felt wronged: "Who knows how this thing is on." ā€

Raising his eyes and sweeping to the drawer, Li Jingyun was stunned, and then his face changed.

The drawer was already hidden deep and had a lock, but now it is open, and the inside is clean.

The pile of yellow brocade wrapped in the original pile is gone.

Hua Yue saw that his expression was wrong, stared at the drawer and thought for a while, and also reacted: "This, is it still the one from before?" ā€

"It's not." Li Jingyun lowered his eyes, and his expression quickly returned to normal.

He took a handkerchief to wipe her hair, and said casually: "Those things were elsewhere before, and the master changed the silver ticket in it." ā€

As soon as her heart was relieved, Hua Yue hurriedly looked at the rest of the cabinets in the room, and found that only the drawer in the bed was passive, and she couldn't help pouting: "It's really good at stealing, and I know where there is a lot of money." ā€

"You go to sleep first." He snorted, "I won't take this bit of silver to heart yet, let people report to the official tomorrow." ā€

"Okay." Katsuki herself was also sleepy, yawned a lot, rubbed her pillow and gradually fell asleep.

Li Jingyun stood by her bedside for a while, until she breathed long and evenly, and then quietly withdrew.

There was a happy event in the house, Su Miao did not rush back to Yongqing Temple, and even left Shen Zhiluo in the guest room. Today's guests from afar also live in the house, so the system is quite passable, but ......

Li Jingyun didn't know why Su Miao was standing outside Shen Zhiluo's guest room.

"How?" He asked with a calm face, "What about playing the West Chamber?" ā€

Su Miao rolled his eyes at him: "Zhiluo is drunk, he has been making trouble, and he just stopped." I'm also a wife who hasn't come through the door, shouldn't I come to see it? ā€

His eyes flashed slightly, and Li Jingyun asked, "Have you been guarding him all the time?" ā€

"yes."

"He didn't talk to anyone alone?"

"No, I'm drinking."

Su Miao looked at her cousin and felt that something was wrong with him: "Why are you here?" ā€

"Something happened in the East Courtyard." Li Jingyun groaned, "I thought it was Shen Zhiluo's evil thoughts, but now that I look at it, I blame him wrongly." ā€

Su Miao was stunned when she heard this, and then she was a little angry: "Why do you suspect him when something happens, he is not a bad person." ā€

Li Jingyun looked at her silently.

In the calm sight, Su Miao finally weakened her tone: "Although the positions are different, sometimes it is inevitable to conflict, but it is not related to the bad, I will go back to the temple with him as soon as it is over tonight." ā€

"If there's anything wrong, remember to tell me." Li Jingyun told her, "Don't hide it, that will only hurt him." ā€

Su Miao nodded, not to mention anything else, she has always trusted her cousin when it comes to things that want to use her brain.

Li Jingyun counted the guest list and asked the people in the east courtyard, but found nothing, this thing obviously can't be seriously reported to the official to find it, he is curious now, who stole the bag of things, and what will he do with it?

Kazuki slept soundly, not knowing what was going on.

The moonlight is shining, illuminating people's dreams.

For the next few days, a couple in the east courtyard were like glue and basically never left the main house.

Hua Yue wanted to be angry, this person really didn't talk like that, how could he be so ...... Such a brazen person, her mind is full of bed things, and she can't resist it at all.

But the third prince is really good at coaxing people, seeing that she is unhappy, he will take her to see the assembly in Jinghua, but whenever she frowns, she can exchange for his half-day worry, clothes, jewelry, pampering and care, she has everything, how can she really be angry?

It's still the same sentence, it's only a few days anyway, bear with me.

At the beginning of June, it was time for Lee Kyung-yoon to take up his post.

There was a light rain in Jinghua, and Hua Yue stared at the wisps of rain curtains falling from the eaves outside, and let out a long sigh.

Frost lowered her voice and asked her, "Are you reluctant to give up the third son?" ā€

"Nope." She replied, "My relatives for more than ten years are willing to give up, what is the love of these days." ā€

That being said, she still couldn't laugh when she was packing up in the room at night.

Li Jingyun came in from outside the door and picked her up with her clothes without looking: "It's raining so hard outside, why are you still stepping on the ground barefoot." ā€

Kazuki raised her eyes to look at him, and suddenly threw away her clothes and reached out to hook his neck.

"Husband." She shouted softly, as he had taught.

The hand holding her stiffened, Li Jingyun's eyes swept down, and his throat moved slightly: "Huh? ā€

She didn't seem to have much to say, just hugged him and stared at him without blinking.

Li Jingyun chuckled, sat on the soft couch with her, and said in a low voice: "You have not eaten much in the past two days, and you didn't sleep well last night, but what is on your mind?" ā€

Katsuki shook her head, thought about it, got up and went to get a box.

Li Jingyun recognized this box, but he couldn't show his flaws, even if he laughed wildly in his heart, he could only ask curiously: "What is this?" ā€

"I saw it on the street a few days ago and thought it looked good, so I bought it back." She mumbled, opening the box and pulling out the boots embroidered with silver thread, "Do you like it?" ā€

He has always been picky about clothes, and he will dislike the well-made blue carp snow brocade robe, not to mention her brocade boots, which are not very good.

However, after waiting for a long time, she did not wait for this man's sarcasm.

Looking up suspiciously, Hua Yue saw the person in front of him leaning on the soft pillow, looking at the boots in his arms, his fist against the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of smiles.

"I like it." He said.

Hua Yue was very surprised, and turned over a stitch that was not very good to show him: "There is a slight flaw, not very valuable." ā€

"Hmm." He smiled even more.

Looking at him suspiciously, Hua Yuequan thought that he could see the pattern of the boots, so he wanted to take them and put them in his luggage.

As a result, as soon as she stretched out her hand, the man quickly pressed her hand: "Just put it here." ā€

"Put it here?" Kazuki was stunned.

Li Jingyun nodded very seriously, took her hand away, and stared at it happily with her chin propped up. After seeing it, he felt that it was not enough, so he got up and placed it in the middle of the Bogu frame.

Kazuki: "......"

"You let go." He squinted.

She couldn't cry or laugh: "This should be said by the concubine, how can anyone put his boots here!" ā€

"Lord's house, Lord's boots, you don't care where you like?" Slightly annoyed, he slapped away her paw that was gripping the upper, brushed the dust lightly, and solemnly put it back.

I almost put an incense burner in front of me, and burn incense and kowtow in the morning and evening.

Isn't it sick?

Hua Yue held his forehead: "Boots are for wearing, you have to leave tomorrow, what are you doing in the house?" ā€

"That's what you don't understand." Li Jingyun said mysteriously, "There is a saying in Da Liang that if the newly bought boots are placed on the shelf, you can be a half-Bodhisattva, and if you worship sincerely, you can make your wishes come true." Anyway, you can also visit after the master goes to work, and the boots are not new at that time, so you can bring them to the master again. ā€

He said it very seriously, and there was no hint of ridicule in his eyes, which caused Hua Yue to scold him for talking nonsense.

Isn't this really a fool's errand? She looked at Bo Gujia suspiciously, and then looked at Li Jingyun.

Li Jingyun stood with reverent eyes in his eyes, without the slightest hint of amusement.

Hesitantly retracting her gaze, Hua Yue thought, Daliang's customs have nothing to do with her, she can't do such a stupid thing as worshipping boots anyway.

It rained overnight, and the next morning, there was a cool fog outside.

Li Jingyun said goodbye to her parents and went to work, and before leaving, she pulled her and asked in a low voice, "Why aren't you sad?" ā€

Hua Yue folded her hands and smiled at him: "The concubine is also very sad, and the husband is careful." ā€

Glaring at her very dissatisfied, Li Jingyun got in the car and left, the wheels squeaked and swayed, running over the uneven bluestone slabs, all the way to the palace gate.

Zhuang's was crying, the maid was whispering comforting, and some of the people around him were congratulating and some were reluctant.

Kazuki looked at the two ruts on the ground and couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.

Xu expected that there would be this day early on, and it was not possible to cry like Zhuang's, but he and Li Jingyun also had some feelings, and after saying goodbye for many years, I don't know when it would be goodbye.

But it's okay, she can accompany Madame for a good life in the future, no one will be angry with Madame again, and no one will ask her to help hide it from the general every day; No one will buy her snacks from the bazaar, and no one will make her blush.

She told Frost that she would move back to the main courtyard in two days.

As for why it was two days later, Frostfall didn't ask, and she didn't say.

She is the only one left in the huge east courtyard, and she can't hear any sound every day, but Huayue feels comfortable, cleaning up the accounts every day, feeding the white deer, and then talking to his wife, life is not impossible.

It's just that she seems to have begun to sleep badly again, and she woke up in less than two hours, then got up in her clothes, lit the lamp and looked at the accounts, and passed the time like this until dawn.

According to his previous arrangement, Chaofeng came to the house to accompany her on the second day, Hua Yue brought her a snack, sat on the soft couch and said: "It's not a big deal, the women in the back house, which one didn't come over day by day." ā€

Chao Feng chuckled: "You can see it better than anyone else, the third master spoiled you so much before, and now only you are left in the yard, and you don't feel uncomfortable?" ā€

"Nope." Kazuki smiled, "It's him who is too worried." ā€

In the past, it may have been a delicate flower, but now that many things have passed, no matter how delicate the flower is, she will not still want to live on people, and there is one more person and one less person around her, and there is not much difference.

It's just that the Zhuang family was really sad, and Huayue coaxed her in a different way, until she lied that she had a child in her belly, and she cheered up.

It's only been a few days, and it's impossible to have a child in her belly, but Wen Zhizhi helped her lie, and helped that a dutiful, not to mention Madame, even she almost believed his nonsense.

So Madame was very careful with her, and as long as she went to the main house, Madame would be happy.

That's good, Kazuki thought.

Something happened in the court, and on the day of the sacrifice of the hundred officials, someone tried in vain to assassinate the prime minister of the dynasty, but was taken down by the janissalian, involving several ministers. When Hua Yue heard the rumors, she asked someone to bring a letter to Feng Zixi, asking him not to act rashly first.

As a result, Yin Ru came to pass the word and asked her to help save Zheng Yu, who was rescued in prison, saying that she was already the general's wife, and she could have some way.

Zheng Yu is also a minister of the Great Wei, and now he is a petty official in the Liang Dynasty, and he was implicated in the assassination of the prime minister and is also in prison.

Kazuki thought it was funny, she couldn't help, and she didn't help.

She and they have not been on the same path for a long time, why does Yin Ru think that she should listen to them?

Yin Ru scolded her for being wolf-hearted and dog-lunged, her former nurse in the West Palace, dressed in silk and satin, stood in front of her and pointed at her nose and scolded: "There is no Great Wei royal family, where did you come from, you don't know the slightest affection, raising a dog is better than waging your tail than you!" ā€

Kazuki didn't feel angry, but was a little distracted.

She went to the west gate, and Wangfu nestled obediently in the corner, wagging his tail happily at her.

"Why do you think I'm like you?" Kazuki touched Wangfu's ear suspiciously.

Wangfu didn't understand, and only stuck his tongue out at her.

Kazuki fed it food and got up to go back to the east courtyard.

***

Shen Zhiluo was recalled to Jinghua, he didn't go back to the East Palace, but moved to the altar to live, Zhou Heshuo ran to him for several days, sometimes worried and happy.

Su Miao looked curious: "What happened to the DPRK again?" ā€

Wearing his robe, Shen Zhiluo coughed twice: "What can happen?" Someone wanted to attack Kang Zhenzhong, but he mistakenly assassinated the prime minister of the dynasty, His Majesty was already quite worried about the long-term lack of talents of the East Palace guards, and this matter came out under the noses of the East Palace guards, so His Majesty asked the prince to rectify the guards and select talents. ā€

Su Miao blinked: "This is a good thing, why is the prince still unhappy?" ā€

Only her brain would think it was a good thing, Shen Zhiluo shook his head. After Xue Ji's death, there was no one to fill in the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and the prince wanted to train his own person to sit in this position, but there was no candidate. If the emperor asked him to choose, the person who picked might not be at his command.

But there are also advantages, that is, the prince can go to inspect the Imperial Forest Army, which is something under the power of the Middle Palace, the emperor opened his mouth, and the Middle Palace did not dare to stop it.

Zhou Heshuo came three times and twice, just to ask him what to do.

It is clear that he has lost most of his trust, but he will still come to him when he panics. Shen Zhiluo shook his head, his eyes mocking.

"Hey, why did you show this look again without answering?" His face was broken, and his jaw hurt slightly.

Shen Zhi fell back to his senses and said unhappily: "Didn't your cousin tell you everything?" Ask him to go. ā€

"He didn't have time to talk to me about that." Su Miao pursed her lips, rolled her eyes, and suddenly hugged his arm and asked, "Isn't Chaozhong in the imperial examination?" How's it going? ā€

His eyebrows jumped, and Shen Zhiluo knocked on the tea table in front of him: "Miss Su, the third prince sent you to live with me to inquire about the news, it is already unruly, can you properly cover up when you inquire about the news, don't ask so reasonably?" ā€

The long fox eyes narrowed, and Su Miao twisted him impatiently: "Where are there so many twists and turns, I want to know, you tell me." ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Someone else's house is hiding a spy, and this one next to him is a bandit?

Shen Zhiluo let out a long sigh and coughed twice: "Daliang is full of talents, and the scientific examination is naturally full of heroes, but His Majesty is quite afraid of taking bribes before the top three entrance exams last year, and there will be no news before the list is released." ā€

Su Miao regretfully withdrew her arm to support her chin: "You can't calculate the hexagram?" ā€

Two green tendons protruded on her forehead, and Shen Zhiluo gritted her teeth and reminded her: "Miss Su, it's the big priest below, not the fortune teller on the street." ā€

"Oh." She nodded, seeing that he was coughing badly, slightly displeased, "Let you go to bed early, you stay up every day to see what stars, it's not as good as a fortune teller on the street, you can sleep a few good nights." ā€

Shen Zhiluo didn't start, he was already too lazy to pay attention to her.

"I'll stay with you tonight." Su Miao suddenly clenched her fists, "Husband and wife have to be Tonglin birds, although the ceremony has not been finished yet, but it is also this month's matter, and it is not a big deal to be with the same forest in advance." ā€

The man in front of him sneered: "You can't stand it." ā€

"Who to underestimate?" She crossed her waist, and her fiery sleeves almost threw him in the face, "I'll show you tonight!" ā€

Arrogant and eloquent.

Just after the time of bearing fruit, the fire fell asleep on his shoulder.

Shen Zhiluo pinched the compass and looked at the starry sky, listening to her muttering dreams, and shook his head helplessly.

The woman's words couldn't be trusted, especially the one beside him.

"Your Excellency." Xingnu came over, glanced at Su Miao, and said in a very soft voice, "How long are we going to live at the altar?" ā€

"How?" He asked, "Is there something going on in the palace?" ā€

"No, the minion is only worried about your body." Xingnu took him a cloak and whispered, "The altar is deserted, and the humidity is heavy, where can it compare to the East Palace, you live here, and you always have to cough." ā€

The head of the person on his shoulder slipped, and Shen Zhiluo reacted very quickly and reached out to catch it, and slowly put it back.

At a glance, this man slept like a pig, and he couldn't wake up with any noise.

A smile flashed in his eyes, and Shen Zhiluo looked back at Xingnu and said, "It's okay, the palace is not peaceful after all." ā€

Is it that the palace is not peaceful, or is the palace heavily guarded, and Miss Su is not allowed to come and go at will?

The star slave wanted to ask and stopped, but he still shut up and retreated.

Shen Zhiluo continued to gaze at the stars, and his purple pupils were bright.

The next afternoon, when he woke up, he saw a man sitting beside the bed.

"I want to go back for a few days." Su Miao was dark and green at the moment, and said to him with a yawn, "It's almost the wedding date, there are many rules to learn, and my cousin ordered me to accompany my sister-in-law more before leaving." ā€

With his eyes lowered, Shen Zhiluo brushed her away to wash, and said in a muffled voice: "You didn't ask me if I wanted when you came, and you don't have to ask when you leave." ā€

Su Miao smiled: "Aren't I afraid that you will be reluctant?" ā€

"No, it won't." He wiped his face and looked out, "It doesn't matter. ā€
