Kashiwa feast
Zheng Zhi couldn't see the young man's face clearly, and when she withdrew her gaze, she found that Zheng Rui, who had lowered her head before, was looking at her with a heavy gaze, and that look actually made Zheng Zhi's newly warmed body begin to gradually cool down again.
"Don't be stunned, come, let's have a drink today, thanks to the blessing of the lord and the eldest son, everyone is happy, and our Baifu will soar in the future." Aunt Qian looked very happy, and as she spoke, she took a sip of autumn dew with a blue and white porcelain wine glass. Bai Zifei next to her glanced at Aunt Qian and smiled as if mockingly, but soon the smile was fleeting, she returned to her usual innocent expression, turned her head to look at Zheng Rui and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you look happy?" ”
Zheng Rui softened her gaze a little, picked up the small porcelain cup and drank it all, "There's nothing to be unhappy about, I'll do it first for respect!" When Zheng Rui put down the wine glass, Aunt Qian on the side immediately said: "Rui'er, I'm so happy, look at it, I can only express it by drinking, what a sincere child." Zheng Rui didn't say anything, and she didn't look up at Aunt Qian.
At this time, Bai Zifei seemed to have discovered something new: "Sister-in-law, why is your dress stained with mud?" You've always been the most sophisticated in our house, so why are you so careless today? ”
Zheng Zhi looked at Zheng Rui, today she was wearing an agarwood-colored makeup sleeve jacket, lined with a delicate pink silk skirt, and there were two light mud stains on the light-colored skirt. Zheng Zhi retracted her gaze, which should have been soiled by the man when he pushed Zheng Rui to the ground before.
"I accidentally got dirty when I went out." Zheng Rui said and drank another glass of wine.
Bai Zifei pursed her lips, she was extremely excited today, it may be that she finally doesn't have to be grounded anymore, except for Aunt Qian on the table, she is the most active one. After a while, she set her eyes on Zheng Zhi again, and her big eyes sparkled: "Second sister-in-law, why don't you keep your head down and don't speak?" By the way, can I use the silk handkerchief I gave you? ”
When Zheng Zhi heard Sipa, her heart skipped a beat unconsciously, and when she looked up, she found that Zheng Rui was also looking at her, so she pulled out a smile and replied, "It's very good to use." “
"Oh? I heard that the third lady has outstanding embroidery skills, why did she just give her sister a silk handkerchief? Zheng Rui suddenly spoke, her expression a little strange.
The outspoken Bai Zifei didn't think much about it and said: "Sister-in-law, don't be jealous, the second sister-in-law helped me, so this is a thank you gift I gave her, if you really want it, I'll make you another one another day." ”
Zheng Rui didn't seem to have much interest in Bai Zifei giving her a silk handkerchief, but continued to ask: "What did my sister do to help the third lady and let the third lady specially embroider a silk handkerchief?" ”
Zheng Zhi couldn't help but speak: "It's not a big deal, it's really not enough to worry about, it's the third lady who is too polite, I like the patterns she embroidered, so I gave it to me."
Zheng Rui's eyes looked at Zheng Zhi even more unpredictable, and in the end she didn't ask any more.
Halfway through the banquet, Aunt Qian whispered as if inadvertently: "I heard that Lord Ling's daughter was selected into the palace some time ago, and it is said that she is very favored, and it seems that it is a matter of time before she is canonized. “
Zheng Zhi's heart moved after hearing this, and she looked at Aunt Qian and asked, "Does Lord Ling still have a daughter?" “
Aunt Qian seemed to be waiting for others to come and ask shamelessly, she touched her blue jade-inlaid gold earrings and smiled: "Yes, everyone knows that this Lord Ling has two sons, but they don't know that there is also a delicate little daughter." This little daughter has been raised in the boudoir since she was a child, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a deep relationship with Ling Ergongzi, and she will inevitably be a concubine or something in the future. But then again, this time Lord Ling brought the two sons to the mansion, which really made our Baifu flourish. ”
Zheng Zhi saw that Zheng Rui's face turned pale when she saw the opposite side, and Aunt Qian continued to whisper without noticing: "But why are these two sons so bad, there are many rumors about Lord Ling's two sons outside, but one is praised by everyone, and the other is notorious. ”
Zheng Zhi looked at the strange man on the other end of the bead curtain who couldn't see his face clearly, and the back was so dazzling.
Suddenly, the men's laughter broke out at Bai Ziyi's table, and Zheng Zhi saw Bai Ziyi's slightly red face after drinking.
The banquet did not end until midnight, and the men were still clinking glasses and drinking while the ladies left. The first thing Zheng Zhi did after returning to Tinglan Courtyard was to ask for a bucket of hot water to wash away the chill. Today is too shocking, soaked in the hot water, she still can't help but feel cold in her heart, thinking back to Zheng Rui's desperate and sad face on the trail today, she finally understood why Zheng Rui showed such a confused look before, and also understood why Zheng Jiangde had to marry her together.
After taking a hot bath, Zheng Zhi finally recovered a little complexion, lit a soothing incense, and wanted to put aside her thoughts and sleep well. And Xiao Lan, who has always been lively, has not spoken much since the banquet, Zheng Zhi was a little worried, she shook Xiao Lan's somewhat cold hand and said: "Xiao Lan, you didn't see anything today, forget all the things today, you follow me in the future, try to go out alone as little as possible, you know?" Xiao Lan seemed to wake up after hearing this, and nodded. In order to let Xiaolan have a good rest, Zheng Zhi let her not have to sleep outside tonight to serve her.
When Xiaolan left, Zheng Zhi sat on the edge of the bed, and just wanted to turn off the lights, she heard the sound of the door opening with a "click" outside. She thought it was Xiao Lan who was back again, so she walked out in her middle coat, "Xiao Lan ......" Before she finished speaking, Zheng Zhi was stunned, because she saw the person who made her miss and wait day and night, Bai Ziyi.
At this time, Bai Ziyi's body was full of wine, and his steps were not too steady. Zhu Wang, who was waiting outside, lowered his head and said, "Little grandma, the son came directly by himself after Lord Ling and the others left, and no one stopped him, if you need anything, just order the villain." With that, Zhu Wang gently closed the door outside.
Bai Ziyi stumbled towards Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi's eyes were a little sour, she walked over and helped Bai Ziyi and let him lean on herself. Bai Ziyi seemed to be really drunk, and his dark eyes were not bottomless as usual, but emitted a strange light.
What does it smell like on you? So fragrant?" Bai Ziyi, who was a head taller than Zheng Zhi, asked, and at the same time, the breath was sprayed on Zheng Zhi's face with the crisp breath of autumn dew. Zheng Zhi couldn't help but be a little drunk, "The concubine just bathed, maybe it smelled of soaphorn." ”
Bai Ziyi lowered his head and sniffed at Zheng Zhi's sideburns, and muttered: "It's not a soap, it's not a soap......"
Zheng Zhi's heart was pounding, and she said softly: "Xianggong, that may be the soothing incense I ordered......" Zheng Zhi didn't say any more, because she saw Bai Ziyi's face getting closer and closer to her.
Without waiting for Zheng Zhi to close her eyes, Bai Ziyi kissed Zheng Zhi's lips. Bai Ziyi's fiery breath and the mellow and slightly bitter taste of the wine remaining between his tongue teased Zheng Zhi's senses, and as she continued to toss and turn, Zheng Zhi felt that the heavens and the earth also began to rotate. When Zheng Zhi was about to run out of breath, Bai Ziyi finally let go of her. Zheng Zhi, who was flushed, gasped and looked at Bai Ziyi, and at this time, Bai Ziyi's eyes fluctuated like a pool of spring water, and his lips fell on her neck before Zheng Zhi could react. The middle coat worn by Zheng Zhi also slipped off at some point, revealing her slender and white shoulders.
Bai Ziyi hugged Zheng Zhi to the bed in the inner room, and Zheng Zhi's mind was already blank. Bai Ziyi's slightly cool hand gently stroked Zheng Zhi's smooth skin, and when his hand touched Zheng Zhi's lower abdomen, a trace of pain struck, and Zheng Zhi, who had fallen into a state of confusion, suddenly woke up.
Zheng Zhi was shocked and annoyed, she looked at Bai Ziyi, who was buried on the side of her neck at this time, and said with difficulty: "...... Xianggong, the concubine came to the moon letter ......"
Bai Ziyi didn't react at first, he looked for Zheng Zhi's lips and kissed for a while, and suddenly his movements paused, slowly raised his head, and his eyes began to focus. He looked at Zheng Zhi, who was panting and flushed under him, in surprise, and suddenly turned his head and jumped away. Then he turned his back again, pressed his temples, lowered his voice and asked, "Why am I here?" There was still emotion in his voice that didn't have time to fade away.
Zheng Zhi was stunned by Bai Ziyi's sudden reaction, and only spoke for a long time: "Zhu Wang said that Xianggong came over by himself after the banquet." “
After Bai Ziyi listened, he walked out of the inner room without saying anything, and then Zheng Zhi only heard the sound of the door opening and closing.
