Chapter 142: Lanterns
Garden?
"What are you princes doing in the garden?" Carrying lanterns calmly walked on the winding path paved with goose warm stones, and the embroidered orchid skirt brushed the red flowers and green grass on the roadside.
"This ......," the maid hesitated, and said mysteriously, "the princess will know that it is a good thing as soon as she goes." ”
Xu Chaowan didn't ask any more.
The smoke cage pavilion is connected to the flower road in the east, and the blue lake is in the west, and when the water washes the hibiscus in the summer, it is very suitable to sit in the pavilion and eat melons and enjoy the lotus.
The maidservant followed her to the smoke cage pavilion and silently retreated.
Looking at the delicate lotus lanterns that were swaying around the lake and scattering the ghostly light, she did not relax for a while.
Surrounded by lanterns, Li Hanchen stood on a leaf of orchid boat with his hands, looked at her from afar, and raised his hand towards her.
Walking to the carved fence, she tilted her head slightly and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
The man smiled lightly, and the deep dimples were filled with light moonlight: "Please please Madame." ”
The eyebrows were slightly raised, she toe a little, and in a blink of an eye stood firmly on the ashline stone, making a gesture of consideration: "If you can catch me, I will be happy." ”
Without waiting for him to answer, he stepped into the void and leaned forward, his light blue gauze skirt swaggering by the night wind.
At the same time, Li Hanchen flew from the Lan Zhou, stretched out his arms to hold her firmly in his arms, turned around and kicked the stone wall, and flew back to the Lan Zhou.
The gravity of the two superimposed on each other, causing the hull to sway slightly from side to side.
Hands around his neck and staring at him for a long time.
The white tent hanging around the smoke cage pavilion was rolled up, and a white-clothed singer in a veil played the piano music leisurely.
The starlight on the canopy contrasts with the faint lanterns in the lake, and the bright moonlight spreads across the lake and falls on the two of them.
"I knew you were going to catch me."
Li Hanchen put him down and reached out to lightly hang the tip of her small nose: "Naughty." If I can't catch you, won't I get hurt? ”
She smiled softly, her voice like the night breeze: "Will you?" ”
He was defeated, and lowered his head to drop a kiss on her smooth forehead: "Naturally not." ”
Xu Chaodui lowered his eyes and was silent.
Squatting down, stirring up a pool of clear water with her bare hands, she picked up a lantern, and the warm firelight reflected the cold eyebrows, reflected in her clear eyes.
Li Hanchen squatted down on one knee beside her and asked softly, "It's the first time I've done this, I don't know if Madame, are you satisfied?" ”
Although he was not afraid of Xu Chaodu's ridicule, he would never tell her that this method was learned from the "Wife Coaxing Strategy" that Huaiyi kindly bought for him from a street stall.
As a man, how to coax his wife to go to school in a pamphlet is incompetent.
Xu Chaodui looked up at the starry sky and replied: "The stars in the sky are like thousands of lights on the ground, could they be a family?" We're watching them, and they're watching us. My mother and Ah Heng, as well as Aunt He, who died for me, may be counting the stars here and missing me at this moment. ”
When she said this, her face was stunned. Li Hanchen didn't know why she was suddenly so sad, and stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her shoulders to comfort: "No matter where you are, they will always love you, and so will I." ”
"Are you?" She tilted her head slightly to look at him, "If one day, I do something wrong, will you scold me and abandon me?" ”
Li Hanchen pursed his lips and replied honestly: "If you do something wrong, maybe I will be annoyed with you, but I will never scold you, let alone abandon you." Anything wrong will come at a cost. If you really do something wrong, then I didn't manage you well, and I will pay your price. ”
After a pause, he lowered his eyes to hide the subtle emotions under his eyes, and Qingyue's voice was wrapped in a cool night breeze: "Life is to constantly encounter difficulties, and then solve difficulties, and so on, it is a lifetime." Twilight, there are some things that we can solve in a proper way, and we don't have to go the other way, you know? ”
Xu Chaodui hung his head and said nothing, putting his hand into the cold water, disturbing a lake of lanterns.
In Qiu Ningju, Xiahou was in a low mood, and when she heard that Li Hanchen was in love with Xu Chaowan in the back garden, she was even more depressed.
She made Xu Chaodui feel uncomfortable, but she didn't seem to be happy.
also carried the black pot for someone for no reason, and was reprimanded by Brother Chen, it's really boring to think about!
She knew that with Xu Chaodu's temperament, even if she didn't go to her herself, she would come to the door to settle the account.
Thinking like this, she stood up: "Kitty, go to the back garden." ”
Back here, the luthier quietly retreated after playing a tune, and several servants also left the garden at the signal of Li Hanchen.
A cool breeze blew, Xu Chaowan covered her mouth and sneezed, Li Hanchen hugged her: "It's cold at night, let's go back to the house." ”
Xu Chaowan shook his head: "No, I still want to play for a while." ”
Li Hanchen shook his head helplessly: "Then you wait, I'll go back and get you a cloak." As soon as he turned around, he asked with a slight sideways look, "You haven't had dinner, you must be hungry now, what do you want to eat, I'll go and ask the kitchen to bring it." ”
grabbed her waist and flew into the pavilion, Xu Chaodui relaxed physically and mentally: "I want to eat roast chicken, and I want to drink!" ”
Li Hanchen couldn't help laughing, raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head: "Madame, wait a minute, I'll come when I go for my husband." ”
Li Hanchen strode away, and happened to miss Xiahou Ji who came on another path.
"Kitty, Brother Achen is gone, let's go quickly. I think that Xu Chaodui woman will definitely add fuel and vinegar to the complaint, and maybe she will press this black cauldron on my head, and I have to go and correct my name. ”
The two of them quickened their pace to the smoke cage pavilion, and were almost dazzled by the faint lanterns of the lake.
The woman in the blue dress faced the blue lake with her back to them.
Xiahou Ji motioned for the little eagle to stay where she was, walked along the cobblestone path with her skirt to the outside of the pavilion, stretched out her hand to brush off the white curtain and walked in.
Hearing the slight sound of footsteps, Xu Chaodui turned around and happened to meet her eyes. A hint of fire instantly rose in the air.
She clasped her hands and stared at her, and said coldly: "Are you here to ask for trouble, or are you here to apologize?" ”
Xiahou Xi was stunned by her question, walked in front of her and chuckled, and asked, "I didn't do anything wrong, why do I apologize to you?" Xu Chaodui, I came to tell you that I didn't do anything about your kidnapping. Please don't slander me in front of Brother Chen. ”
"Slandering you? I asked before, and the group has already defaulted to a woman who hired them, except for you and Xu Tinglan, I don't seem to have offended anyone else. Now that Xu Tinglan is gone, apart from you, I really can't think of anyone who will retaliate against me like this. You are trying to force me to lose my body, don't you just want to see if your brother will want me if I am dirty? ”
"What did you say?" Xiahou Ji couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and her tone was slightly angry, "Xu Chaodu, you don't want to spew blood, if you say that it wasn't me who did it, it wasn't me who did it, don't want to smear my innocence in front of Brother Achen!" ”
Seeing that she didn't admit it, Xu Chaowan was a little angry, stepped forward and forced her to the fence, reached out and pinched her chin, and said in a cold tone: "Dare to do it, dare not admit it?" If you can find the murderer, I will believe that you did not do it, and I will apologize to you. If you can't find out, you wait for me. ”
Xiahou Ji was just about to refute, but her eyes fell on Xiaoying through Xu Chaodu, only to see her mouth shape and silently say four words: "The prince is here." ”
