Chapter 186: Sit down and eat
Jiang Linglong didn't sleep for long, and was awakened by a pair of bony hands pinching her neck in a dream.
As soon as the person woke up, a pair of apricot eyes from Orange Moon next to the bed came up, "The master is in a dream?" It's okay, it's okay, the slave just made a soothing tea and poured you a cup. ”
After listening to the words, the sight of the person on the bed also happened to become clear, and he completely woke up from the fright of the nightmare.
"Where's Huang'er?"
As soon as she asked, she felt some movement at her feet.
Jiang Linglong lowered her head and poked her head, and Si Huang was tugging at her wrinkled skirt.
He's just saying hello to her.
The child's face still didn't have much expression, and his eyes didn't shine brightly. Some are hollow, and after looking at them for a long time, they may even feel gloomy.
Jiang Linglong beckoned to him and went to look at Orange Moon again.
"I'll pick it up in the afternoon." Orange Moon knew what Jiang Linglong was asking, and considered the wording, "The general situation, he told Xiao Shizi." ”
At the time of speaking, Si Huang had already walked to Jiang Linglong's bedside, his head was facing Jiang Linglong, but his eyes fell on her pillow.
Orange Moon knew that Si Huang had no malicious intentions, but she was still a little frightened by this child. Especially when I think of the night when he hid a knife behind his back. The footsteps involuntarily leaned towards Jiang Linglong's side, as if to protect her.
Jiang Linglong was surprised.
Even, it is overflowing with a kind of surprise that is hidden in an instant.
This is the first time that Si Huang has taken the initiative to guard himself. For the first time, take the initiative to approach yourself.
But she reacted quickly.
The last time he was so abnormal, he went to the camp with him, and then slipped away to the medical tent and cut his wrists.
This kid.
Jiang Linglong felt distressed.
I was afraid of my mother, but I was all for her.
"You know that Concubine Xi is going to be sent to the Jiaye Temple, right?" She simply got up, carried Si Huang to the bed, and came face to face with her. Si Huang stood on the bed, just at eye level with her.
Si Huang looked at Jiang Linglong, but the focus of his gaze fell on the curtain behind her.
Orange Moon glanced at the shoes and socks he hadn't taken off, and felt sorry for the quilt, which was not easy to wash in winter.
I saw Si Huang nodding.
"Do you know what a place the temple is?"
The child nodded again.
"She did something wrong, you know?"
After a long time, he still nodded.
"I can't get her out." Jiang Linglong spoke softly, but she didn't hide it like she coaxed Si Zheng, but was straightforward, "We all have to pay for the mistakes we made." ”
"......" Si shook his mouth, as if muttering.
Jiang Linglong leaned closer and eared over to his lips, "What did you just say?" I didn't hear you. ”
“…… Will it die? ”
The child asked her very slightly.
“…… Yes. Jiang Linglong took a breath and affirmed again, "Likely." ”
Si Huang's forearm twitched in his sleeve, he lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and choked his two thin little lips like orange peels.
After a long time, he went to pull Jiang Linglong's sleeve hanging on the outside of the quilt again.
She leaned to his lips again.
“…… I want to see it. His voice murmured, seven parts uncertainty and three parts timidity," ...... I want to see her. ”
Jiang Linglong took a deep breath and turned this breath into a sigh very lightly.
"Let's wait for dinner." She raised her hand and rubbed it on Si Huang's head, "After eating, I'll take you there." ”
In the evening, Si Xian picked up Luo Qizhen, and Kuang Yu also returned from the north of the city.
Luo Qizhen looked at Jiang Linglong with a complicated expression. Si Xian was behind Luo Qizhen and bowed his head at her.
That's when my grandfather knows everything.
"Orange Moon, pass on the meal." After she finished instructing, she was about to go to Luo Qizhen's side, "Grandpa, it's really hard for you to run around like this, why don't I go to the camp tomorrow and say hello to you?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull him to the table.
Luo Qizhen seemed to not know her intentions, avoided the slender hands, and sat down on the table.
Jiang Linglong froze, pursed her lips, and quickly adjusted her mood.
"Why don't you see your father?"
"He just came back from the camp and is now in the Hall of Voice. I guess I'll be alone these days. Told us not to bother. Si Xian replied quietly, and gently patted the back of Jiang Linglong's head, "Go over and sit." ”
As he said this, Kwong Yu came in in the rain.
"It's raining outside?" Jiang Linglong casually took a face towel and wiped his hair.
"It seems to be picking up." Kuang Yu said and took off his cloak and hung it on the hanger, and closed the door of the temple again, isolating the wind and rain outside. Only then did he obediently bow his head, and Jiang Linglong wiped his dripping hair. "Let's leave the day after tomorrow, okay?"
Jiang Linglong thought for a while and nodded, "Okay." ”
Si Xian went over to the table and poured tea for everyone.
The person who listened to the doctor's tent said that they had been driven out of the tent, so it was not known what the two men had said, but they both saw it, and the broad silhouette in the doctor's tent slowly bowed its head to the other person in the sunset.
The regent knelt before his old father-in-law.
The people in the camp only dared to talk about it so far, and if they guessed any further, it would be a crime of disrespect.
No wonder Si Qin locked himself up in the palace as soon as he came back.
But Luo Qizhen's attitude at this moment was beyond his expectations.
If he knew that his grandfather was so taboo, he would not have invited him into the palace to eat together.
In the matter of blocking Long'er, he would have already taken action if he changed others. But the other party is a grandfather who is over 80 years old, and both ends are aggrieved, he just wants to be with the mud, and the other party may not appreciate it.
As soon as Kwong Yu took his seat, he noticed the subtle atmosphere in the hall.
Naturally, he wasn't very happy.
Since the old man didn't want to see him, why did he come to eat? Jiang Linglong went to take Si Huang and asked him to sit beside him and prepare to eat together.
The five of them sat around, and as soon as the air froze for a breath, it was broken by the orange moon from the outside.
The palace maid with the vegetable case came in, the palace door was wide open, the sound of rain outside became more and more majestic, and the wind swept the rain into the hall until the palace maids went out again and brought it to the palace gate from the outside.
The Emerald Hall fell silent again.
"Everyone's tired from the day, let's eat." Jiang Linglong said that she was going to make soup for Luo Qi.
"You rest." Luo Qizhen was the first to pick up his soup bowl, "I'll do it myself." ”
"Oh, good." Jiang Linglong didn't say anything, just sat down and waited for him to serve the soup and start the chopsticks.
Lozzy filled half a bowl of soup.
After sitting down, he picked up the chopsticks with a blank face and wanted to pick up the dishes.
When Orange Moon stood up, the short dragging sound of the chair and the sound of Kwong Yu's chopsticks sounded at the same time.
"Slaves and maids are rude, slaves and maids don't understand the rules, and they are at the same table with their masters." Orange Moon hurriedly withdrew to serve the meal.
This old man, not to mention the gloomy face, dined with everyone at noon, and didn't care about whether he used chopsticks or not. Just now, I didn't want the master to serve the soup, and I deliberately set up chopsticks, which was obviously intentional to set up a score and make it difficult.
"No, you don't." Jiang Linglong shouted to Orange Moon before Kuang Yu got angry, "Sit down and eat." ”
