96. Chapter 95. Keep your distance
It was originally a sincere comforting word, but when I saw Ye Hui'er's smiling face, it instantly collapsed again.
Ye Hui'er grabbed Xuanqing's sleeves, shook them pitifully, and said with some uneasiness: "Sister, I'm sorry." I know that a qiē is not good for me, in fact...... I know you like Chen, but I really like Chen. Originally, I just wished I could stay with you, and I didn't think about robbing my sister about anything. As long as I can stay by your side, even if it is to be a concubine, I am willing, but I don't want to, Chen actually let my sister marry His Royal Highness the Prince...... Sister, can you forgive me? ”
When Ye Hui'er said this, the pear blossom with rain looked extremely aggrieved. As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed violently again, as if he was too excited.
Xuanqing frowned, gently patted Ye Hui'er's back to smooth her, and said indifferently like an outsider: "It's that you think too much, there is nothing between me and the prince." Since you are already his princess-to-be, you should trust him with all your heart. The prince loves you, and I am just his subordinate, that's all. ”
She thought that since Ouyang Luochen had alienated herself for Ye Hui'er's sake, she shouldn't have wanted Ye Hui'er to know her feelings for him. It's a foregone conclusion, and it's useless to say so much, it's better to leave it like this, and everyone doesn't have to feel guilty.
Originally, they didn't mention this question, but they didn't want Ye Hui'er to talk about it at this time.
As far as Xuanqing is concerned, these things have long been a foregone conclusion, but if they are opened, they will make everyone uncomfortable, and there will be knots. She would rather keep these things in her heart and forget them slowly.
What's more, these two people, one is her closest person, and the other is her own sister, Xuanqing doesn't want to hurt anyone.
Ye Hui'er looked at Xuanqing timidly, and asked with some uncertainty, "Is this really the case?" Sister, are you really willing to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”
Seeing Xuanqing nodding, Ye Hui'er was relieved, and smiled in an instant, looking at Xuanqing's eyes full of excitement, she grabbed Xuanqing's hand and said, "Why don't you leave at noon, sister, stay in the palace and have lunch with Hui'er, right?" ”
Xuanqing listened to this, and really had a feeling that he couldn't say.
She didn't mind having a meal, but when these words came out of Ye Hui'er's mouth, she deeply felt that she was a guest from this palace, and Ye Hui'er was the hostess here, and invited her to lunch.
Obviously, she is the one who has lived in this palace for ten years, when did she become a guest in this palace? This really made her feel a little crying and laughing.
Xuanqing looked at Qing Qian, who was standing beside him, and saw that Qing Qian nodded silently, so he agreed to stay, and he was not in a hurry to return to the palace anyway.
Ye Hui'er called her subordinates and asked them to prepare the meals they liked to show off, and asked a few maids to serve her to get up and dress.
The faces of these subordinates are all very familiar to Xuanqing, and at this moment, seeing them so obedient to Ye Hui'er, I really don't feel very good in my heart.
This qiē originally belonged to her, but now it has all fallen to her sister. Xuanqing thinks that he is not a saint, and he is still a little uncomfortable in his heart. So he simply couldn't see it, said a word to Ye Hui'er, and took Qingqian to the back garden first.
It is now late July, and the flowers on the phoenix tree have long since withered, and the phoenix tree that has passed the flowering period now only has lush green leaves, and the whole tree is a monotonous green.
Looking at the phoenix tree that had accompanied him for several years, Xuanqing's heart couldn't help but be filled with joy and sorrow, and his body slowly approached the phoenix tree. She stood by the tree, gently stroking the rough tree pole, as if gently caressing Kiyoto's cheek, the expression on her face was so reluctant.
She took out the short dagger she carried with her, pulled it out, and carved two lines of small characters on the tree pole with force, one stroke at a time, the handwriting was clear and vigorous, as if to explain her determination.
Qing Qian stood quietly behind Xuanqing, watching her plunge the delicate little dagger into the tree pole one by one, and painstakingly carved two lines of graceful and vigorous small characters.
Qing Qian's gaze at Xuanqing's back was full of undisguised pity for her, but Xuanqing was concentrating on the lettering, and did not look back to see Qing Qian's distressed gaze.
Qingqian saw the two lines of graceful small words on the trunk: Floating life is like a dream and sadness, and from now on the end of the world is a stranger.
Qingqian thought that Xuanqing would one day understand that the person she loved was not Ouyang Luochen at all. There are some things that are preconceived not necessarily for the Lord.
…………
At lunch, Ouyang Luochen did not return to the palace, and Xuanqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In fact, when I returned to the palace this time, I didn't want to see Ouyang Luochen. No matter what, now she has a knot in her heart for Ouyang Luochen, so that she can't let go of it and can't face him calmly.
Ye Hui'er is like a twenty-four filial sister, and she is affectionate for Xuanqing Bucai, really like a hostess, and takes care of Xuanqing and Qingqian one by one.
Ye Hui'er's smiling eyes were bent into two crescents, and her tone was soft, with a hint of regret, and said, "It's a pity that Hui'er is sick and can't cook for my sister herself." Or, when my sister comes back next time, I must let Chen also stay with my sister for a meal, and I will cook it myself, my sister thinks it's good? ”
Xuanqing heard Ye Hui'er say this, but just said a faint "um" and didn't say anything else.
She thought that when she came back next time, it would definitely be the day Ye Hui'er got married. And that day, naturally, it was not the bride's turn to take charge. The rest of the time, she didn't want to come back if it wasn't necessary.
After eating, Xuanqing and Qingqian left King Jing's Mansion together.
When they left, they were obedient, and asked the family of the palace to buy two white veils, and the two of them wore them on their heads, covering the two faces of the country and the city, so they dared to walk on the street with confidence.
When they returned to the palace, Ouyang Luoxun had already returned.
Xuanqing returned to the bedroom, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Ouyang Luoxun half-lying on the chaise longue, with a lazy and casual posture, with one hand under his head and a book in the other, looking at the book quietly. Dressed in white, he looks clean and refreshing, and his whole temperament is as ethereal and indifferent as that of a fairy, and there is a feeling that people are very comfortable to look at, and the beauty makes people feel unreal.
Ouyang Luoxun turned the page of the book, didn't raise his head to look at Xuanqing, still looked at the book intently, and said in a lukewarm tone: "You know you're back?" ”
Xuanqing looked at his breezy appearance, and couldn't help complaining: "I said, your book is reversed." ”
Hearing this, Ouyang Luoxun covered his sleeves with some embarrassment and coughed lightly, closed the book directly, sat up from the chaise longue, threw the book aside, and looked at Xuanqing with a smile. He automatically ignored what Xuan Qing had just said, and said, "Have you finished reading your sister?" Did she die of illness? ”
The corners of Xuanqing's lips twitched silently, feeling that this person really wants Ye Hui'er to die?
couldn't help frowning and said, "It's just typhoid fever, and you can't die." However, this shouldn't be the attitude of my brother-in-law towards my sister-in-law, Hui'er said she wanted to meet you today. ”
"If she wants to see me, I have to be willing to see her, right? Anyway, I'm also a prince, and it's not something that anyone can see if they want to, so you have this treatment, and you can see me if you want to. Ouyang Luoxun replied with a half-joking, half-serious smile, and then said with a straight face: "Qing'er, remember, keep some distance from your sister in the future." ”
Xuanqing was silent, she was puzzled, it seemed that the people around her had asked her to stay away from Ye Hui'er, Yin Moli was like this, and she had mentioned it to her on the way back from Qingqian just now, and now even Ouyang Luoxun said so......
Although she and Ye Hui'er are not close, they are sisters after all, and they still have to do enough work on the surface.
She just didn't understand, what did they know that she didn't know?
Xuanqing didn't know that Ye Hui'er's mind was not pure, but she only knew that Ye Hui'er had fallen in love with Ouyang Luochen as soon as she entered the palace. After all, Ye Hui'er did it too obviously, and it was difficult for her not to see it, but she really didn't know what else she didn't know.
One by one, why did they all remind her to stay away from Ye Hui'er?
But these Xuanqing will not ask. Because she knew that if they wanted to sue her, they would say it themselves without her asking. If they don't say it, even if she asks, she won't be able to ask anything, so she might as well think about it herself.
This night, Xuanqing was struggling, but he didn't want to go to sleep.
Although she was already a little sleepy, she couldn't help but feel a little unbearable when she thought of the cloud-turbulent scene last night.
Her lower body is still uncomfortable, and there is a faint pain when she moves, she is really a little afraid of coming back tonight, that feeling is really torturous. That kind of extreme pain and extreme happiness really made her unbearable. If it was a simple pain, she could still endure it, but the feeling of joy in the pain was too sad......
Looking at Ouyang Luoxun, who was already lying on the couch with his eyes closed, Xuanqing had a small abacus in his heart, thinking about waiting for him to fall asleep before he fell asleep. But looking at Ouyang Luoxun's quiet face, his eyes closed peacefully, the long two rows of eyelashes cast a shadow on the lower eyelids, the handsome nose bridge, thick eyebrows, narrow eyes, thin and surname lips, and fair complexion, that face is simply the most perfect work of art, the ultimate beauty.
Xuanqing thought, this person must be the darling of God. Heaven gave him the best of all the best.
Xuanqing was stupid, she admitted that she has always liked beautiful things, especially beautiful men, and this one in front of her is the most beautiful man in the world, how can she resist this powerful attraction...... The little eyes always can't help but look in the direction of the couch.
Ouyang Luoxun, who had been lying on the couch and was pretending to sleep, naturally felt that Xuan Qing was looking at him.
