Chapter 150: Heartbeat
Fukang was stunned by his sudden movements, the pastry in her cheeks had not yet been swallowed, and when his confused gaze met Dom's eyes, his heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, his fingertips were slightly cold, and when he touched the corners of her mouth, his face turned red for a moment.
After Dom reacted, he also felt abrupt, and after he wiped the powder off the corner of Fukang's mouth, he withdrew his hand like an electric shock, and quickly took a sip of the tea cup to hide his embarrassment.
"I look at Princess Fukang...... There was some pastry powder left at the corner of his mouth, and he ......," he looked up and hurriedly explained.
Fukang smiled: "I understand! ”
After hearing Fukang's words, he breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and kept eating pastries, and only after feeling Fukang's focused and hot gaze did he look up and see Fukang looking at him with a smile.
Dom pulled a smile: "What is Princess Fookham looking at me like this?" ”
"Because you're so good-looking." Fukang said as a matter of course, "You're good-looking, so I want to look at you a few more times." ”
"Ahem!" Dom couldn't help but cough a few times, and after handing over a cup of tea in front of him, he quickly took it, and then eased up.
Fauce looked at him with a smile, "Is Dom shy?" ”
Dom's face turned even redder, and the woman in front of him let out a pleasant laugh.
At this time, the curtain fell, and the storyteller also arrived on the stage. When everyone saw the figure of the storyteller, the atmosphere suddenly became high-pitched, and they saw the person on the stage sitting at a tea table, and the fan slowly opened, and he was about to speak.
"Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou Wu, Zheng Wang, Feng Chen Chuwei, my name is Meng Chengliang." With an opening statement, Meng Chengliang "snapped" and patted Xingmu, and the noisy chatting after work suddenly quieted down, and they all began to turn their heads to look at the stage.
"The apprentice is unknown, the skill is not high, the crooked tone is inevitable, the play is not good, and the rank is improvised!" This high-pitched remark successfully drove the audience's emotions, and the sound of applause rose and fell, like the ebb and flow of the tide.
Dom retracted his thoughts, staring at the platform downstairs and listening intently.
The storyteller snapped back the fan, the applause stopped abruptly, and the air fell silent.
He smiled and waved to the listeners, and continued: "Let's say last time, this week, the general was wearing battle armor and killed more than 18,000 enemies with one enemy......
"Captured Qizhou, killed the place crying dad and shouting that the mother had nowhere to hide, yes, but then with a thousand elite soldiers on the way back to Beijing to receive the reward, he passed through the lock valley and was attacked by the enemy, it is said that there were heavy casualties, and there were few thousand elite soldiers left." Fukang's lazy and casual voice then sounded, which happened to overlap with the storyteller's words, and it was half a word.
Dom retracted his gaze and asked her in surprise, "How do you know?" ”
Fukang casually picked up a pastry and ate it, "I've been playful since I was a child, and every time I wait for my grandmother to leave, I sneak out of the palace, and this teahouse is the one I go to the most. But in the past ten years, there are only a few books of teahouses, and my ears are almost calloused, and over time, I can memorize these words. If you want to hear it, I can tell you the story of this teahouse. ”
Dom suddenly became interested, he looked at Fukang intently, and his voice was gentle, "Then I'll listen to you." ”
Fukang looked at his serious gaze, and heard his ambiguous words, as if something was rippling in his heart.
Seeing Dom's puzzled gaze, she came back to her senses, smiled and began to tell him a story.
The story begins with her melodious and tactful tone, and with a twist, her tone also becomes mysterious, and her cunning and smart eyes flicker, making people want to peek into the plot below.
The story quickly reaches its climax, and her tone becomes high-pitched, and her lively and vivid voice makes Dom feel like he's in the middle of the action.
When it came to the quiet part, she smiled like a star, and Dom couldn't help but be intoxicated.
Her smile was imprinted on Dom's heart, as if the noise around them had nothing to do with them, and the storyteller's voice was not as pleasant as hers, as if it were a rattling spring, or as if it were a rain in a long drought. Dom's heart seemed to be touched by something.
Before I knew it, a few stories had been told, and when the sound stopped, Dom had not yet recovered from his senses. I saw a hand shaking in front of his eyes, and Qing Yue's voice sounded in his ears, "What are you in a daze?" It's over, let's go back. ”
Dom came back to his senses, his eyes regained focus, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed as he looked at the few people sitting sparsely around him.
"Let's go." Dom smiled softly at her.
Fukang smiled and nodded, "It's not too early, I'll go back first." I'm afraid that the royal brother will find out that I am missing, and he will blame me again. ”
With that, she left the teahouse in a hurry.
Dom looked at her cheerful figure, his heart moved, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
On the other side, Chu Jinrong and Li Qiuchi found that Fukang was gone, and they were about to go crazy.
"Is there a back garden?"
"Nope!"
"What about the front yard? Go to the front yard and have a look, maybe the princess will be in the front yard! ”
"There is no ...... either"
"Could it be hiding in the kitchen? She usually likes to sneak into the kitchen and steal food! ”
"No, the minions have rummaged through the entire kitchen, and there is no trace of the princess......"
The people in the entire East Palace were in a hurry, their pace was fast, their faces were full of anxiety, and they were almost in a mess.
The most anxious was Chu Jinrong, he kept going to every place that Fukang was most accustomed to going to on weekdays, but he still didn't find her.
"This girl, isn't she playing hide and seek with us again?" Chu Jinrong was so comforted, but his face was still anxious, "It's just a matter of playing hide and seek, but it's impossible to play for so long." ”
Just two hours ago, a servant came to report that Fukang was missing, and they have been finding the present, but there is still no trace of her, and they are afraid that the two people in the palace will be worried, so they have not dared to report it.
"Why is this good person gone?"
Li Qiuchi saw Chu Jinrong's anxious appearance, and comforted him warmly: "Don't worry, maybe she will find it somewhere she went." ”
Chu Jinrong suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up: "Yes!" It's possible she's out playing! ”
After speaking, he strode directly out of the East Palace, and happened to bump into Fukang, who was about to creep in.
The two looked at each other, and the air was embarrassed for a few seconds.
"Fukang." Chu Jinrong narrowed his eyes, and his voice was low.
Fukang saw the expression of his imperial brother, and then looked at the busy palace people who stopped their busy steps, and their eyes turned to her, and her heart suddenly chuckled.
She stiffly pulled up a bright smile and waved her hand at Chu Jinrong, "Brother Huang, what a coincidence...... Today the sun is shining and the wind is beautiful. ”
