Chapter Twenty-Three: Look at Me

"Why is the little county lord worried?"

Jinghu turned around and saw Ke Mingxu dressed in moon-white. The moon is like water, he is walking towards her, and the brilliance on his body seems to flow.

Jinghu stood up, and the troubles in Fang Cai's heart were gone, "Brother Ke Shi is here to look for me?" ”

There was surprise in her words, and there was a little unconsciously intimate when she called him. She is a little girl, and she may not know how to hide her emotions, but he faintly feels that something is wrong.

Butβ€”she's just a little girl, after all.

Ke Mingxu nodded, "Doesn't the little county lord have something to say to Mingxu?" ”

She had something to say to him, but she never told her she had something to say to him. "How did Brother Ke Shi know?"

Ke Mingxu smiled, even if the moonlight was not very bright, when he smiled, the surroundings seemed to suddenly brighten up a little. It was her heart that brightened.

Just now in the hall, the county lord glanced at Ming Xu. When they met during the day, Ming Xu and the prince went away, but the little county lord's eyes refused to take his eyes away, thinking that he had something to say. ”

Even if she didn't have anything to say, when she first saw Zhengyang Gate, she couldn't take her eyes off.

She also knows that she is verbose, but if she is verbose, she will feel happy.

"It seems that it's not me who has eyes on the back, it's Brother Ke Shi. I kept looking at Brother Ke Shi, but Brother Ke Shi didn't look at me, and he was the same in the palace. ”

"How does Brother Ke know that I won't look away?"

Ke Mingxu stood in front of her, more than a head taller than her, but his tone was always gentle, never making her feel oppressed.

"The little county lord is wrong. The little county lord didn't look at me all the time. When the glass was raised, everyone looked at Jinshang and the queen, but the little county lord looked at Ming and looked at it. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been made fun of by Imagami. ”

Jinghu quickly discovered the loophole in his words, and this discovery made her feel very happy, "It turns out that Brother Ke Shi raised his glass and pretended to look at His Majesty and the Empress, but in fact he was looking at me. ”

This is very rude and disrespectful.

The next moment, Ke Mingxu stretched out his finger and put it on his lips, "Opening your mouth and moving your tongue is not beneficial to others, and you can't say anything." ”

Jinghu also followed his example, and stretched out a finger and put it on his lips.

He was a man, and his fingers were no more slender than hers, and his bones were distinct. She was standing not far from him, even close, and she could see the calluses on his fingers.

She had held this hand before, and knew what it was like for this finger to touch her palm.

Today's palace banquet, most of the palace people in the Chang'an Palace are serving in the palace, and the garden is silent, and no voices are heard. They walked along the cobblestone road on the ground.

Jinghu couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and his steps couldn't be steady, "Since Brother Ke Shi wants to look at me, why don't you look at me openly, anyway, it's not a strange thing to see your eyes fall in front of the hall." ”

Ke Mingxu said lightly: "This is also the first time that Mingxu has participated in such a palace banquet, and he doesn't dare to wait and see at will, so as not to lose his manners." ”

Jinghu felt that he was lying to her, and felt that it seemed to make sense, "I didn't expect Brother Ke Shi to be nervous and scared sometimes." ”

He chuckled softly, as if pleased by her tone. "Mingxu is just an ordinary man, how can he not know to be nervous and afraid?"

It's like the little county lord who used to be lawless, didn't care about anything, and only liked to wipe dominoes, will also have a time when he is obsessed with others, even more than dominoes.

Jinghu nodded.

She had always felt that Ke Mingxu was a little far away from her, even though they had not known each other for a long time, she had already shook his hand, shook his wrist, fell into his arms twice, and asked him to pass the pearl hairpin for herself.

But she still felt that Ke Mingxu was a little distant, like the moon in the water, she could touch it with her hand, but when she wanted to fish, she could only fish out a broken moon shadow.

It's like the distance between her and him on the Zhengyang Gate that day.

He is a young champion who Yan Liang has not been able to produce for decades, he is on a horse, the crowd is surrounding him, he is walking in her direction, but not towards her.

She stood on the castle tower, among the noble ladies dressed in fragrant temples, and the maidens who cheered for him and threw flowers to him on both sides of Suzaku Street below the castle tower, and were not even closer to him than they were.

Such thoughts sometimes make her feel a little bitter. It was a taste she had never tasted before.

He was so smart, he was so gentle, he was so good, like a distant godβ€”but he was nervous, and he was just as ordinary as her.

As if she had discovered the biggest secret in the world, she couldn't help but smile brighter.

Ke Mingxu stopped, "The little county lord is laughing at me?" ”

Jinghu also stopped and looked into Ke Mingxu's eyes. There were stars farther away, but she didn't want to look at them.

She asked Ke Mingxu, "I was in the palace just now, and I was reprimanded by my father, will Brother Ke Shi laugh at me?" ”

Ke Mingxu shook his head, "It's not a reprimand, in fact, the King of Yongning County is just to protect you." ”

Jinghu smiled and said, "Then Brother Ke Shi didn't look in the palace, it was also to protect himself, it was the duty of a minister, how could I laugh at you?" ”

Ke Mingxu looked at her and smiled, and suddenly stretched out his hand.

But perhaps he quickly realized that his behavior was inappropriate, and this hand did not fall on any part of Jinghu's body, but stayed in her ear, breaking off a gardenia behind her.

Jinghu unconsciously pinched the corner of his clothes, and saw that he was just picking flowers, and gradually relaxed.

With both hands, she held his hand that had been withdrawn, but she was still holding the gardenia's hand, playing scoundrel with him.

"How does Brother Ke Shi know that I like gardenias the most, but I have to go back to the palace, but I'm afraid it's not convenient to hold it, can you ask Brother Ke Shi to put this flower hairpin in my hair?"

His hand had already been lifted to the side of her bun, and it was just a gesture, and he didn't refuse.

Jinghu was still standing in front of the tall gardenia, and between the moonlight, it seemed that the gardenia was still blooming on the flower tree.

But her green silk and his outstretched hand were already dyed with the fragrance of gardenia.

He didn't know what to say to her for a while, and he had a different feeling in his heart at the moment.

I had to gossip, "The little county lord used to say that he liked coral flowers the most, but today he has become his favorite gardenia." The seasons change, so do your preferences? ”

The little county lord shook his head. The seasons change, the time changes, there are many favorite flowers, but there is only one favorite person.

She didn't know how to answer, for fear that he would think she was distracted, so she would simply do something else.

How could there be only gardenias in the flowers in the palace garden, she quickly found a clump of jasmine, carefully picked it off, walked to Ke Mingxu, and pinned it to the placket for him.
