Chapter XII

The end of the year is approaching

The poisoning case was put on hold for the time being, and without the poisonous food, Xie Ruqing ate more every day, and these days, the whole person looks a lot plump.

Ruhuan smiles when she sees her every day, and feels very happy.

And after a short period of silence, there are always people who try to break it. There was a neighing of horses in this manor, and immediately a person dismounted with a smile, it was Qi Zhiyuan, the son of the world who couldn't bear the lovesickness.

There are many big people in Zhuangzi this autumn, and naturally everyone is careful about themselves.

In order to prevent the poisoning from happening again, the kitchen was simply cautious, careful and careful.

Xie Ruqing knew that Qi Zhiyuan was a person, and she also knew that he was here for himself, she didn't want to deal with it, so she excused herself at dinner and said that she was not comfortable and did not appear at the dinner table.

So a large table of meals, only Qi Zhiyuan enjoyed it alone, and the one who was waiting was naturally Su Hong.

Because there is a noble person today, she deliberately dressed up, changed her clothes to bright red, and her face was also delicately made up, and her whole temperament was remarkable.

"Our braised fish is specially made to ride a fast horse to the fish pond to fish, and the prince should try it well."

Su Hong bent down and stood beside him and grabbed a chopstick fish for him.

The fish is fragrant and makes people appetite when they smell it. Shizi didn't want to enjoy it at this time, he only felt that his brain was buzzing for a while, and there was a burst of incense lingering around his nose, which was the unique floral fragrance of his daughter's family, and he could vaguely smell the faint virgin fragrance.

Hook people's hearts.

"This fish is a good fish, but I'm a little reluctant to hold chopsticks, why don't you feed me Su Hong?"

Shizi sat upright, with a smile on his face, and at this time he seemed to have forgotten that the purpose of coming here was for Xie Ruqing, and he was hooked up by Su Hong.

Su Hong smiled, neither refused nor agreed, only held the chopsticks in her hand and bowed her head to feed it to the prince.

Qi Zhiyuan also took the chopsticks in his mouth, and his face was full of enjoyment. The big hand was not idle, unwilling to hold the chopsticks, but held Su Hong's waist, and pushed her on himself as soon as he used force.

Su Hong shouted shyly, and then naturally hooked his neck with both hands, "Shizi, you scared me to death." ”

Her voice was delicate, and when she heard Qi Zhiyuan, she almost let go of her hand and threw the person away. The hand is still holding her waist, and I feel that the waist of the person under my hand is very slender, and I can feel her temperature through the fabric, which is a little hot.

His breathing suddenly became tight, and he stopped eating, picked her up horizontally, and strode into his inner room.

The candles flickered overnight, and everyone had their own thoughts.

Early in the morning, I don't know whose yard the chickens crowed early, and when I heard the rooster crow, the people on the bed slowly opened their eyes.

There was still a person pressed on her body, and she moved her body slightly, only to remember the absurdity of last night, and her face turned slightly red.

Quietly moving away, you can still see a patch of red spilled on the sheets.

The red is shocking.

Her movements disturbed the people on her body, and Qi Zhiyuan also opened her eyes, and saw Su Hong's good-looking face at a glance.

His palm was on her lower abdomen, and he subconsciously grabbed it, and the people under him screamed again.

"Shizi."

The two of them made a fuss for a while, seeing that it was still early, Su Hong put it on again, and he couldn't see the angle, Su Hong's eyes turned, and there was a determined look on his face.

"Huh?"

Qi Zhiyuan replied lazily, as if he didn't intend to move.

"The side concubine in the courtyard of the prince has lived here for a while, and I have seen her person, and I am very envious."

Speaking of Fang Hui, Qi Zhiyuan squinted at her, not knowing what this woman was thinking.

"The side concubine has been to Zhuangzi, I know this."

He did know, and he heard that a big thing happened here, even the princess dared to poison, and her courage was indeed not small. But later, the matter was still a big thing and a small matter, and only a mother-in-law was silently disposed of, and this matter was over.

"The side concubine understands righteousness and looks delicate, she should be very popular with the world, right?"

Su Hong asked cautiously, and raised her eyes to look at him quietly, which made Qi Zhiyuan a little puzzled, "Why do you ask this?" ”

After a pause, the person in her arms suddenly fell silent, and Qi Zhiyuan turned her over to him, "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush here." ”

He was getting impatient. Su Hong's heart tightened, thinking that he went to Wushan with him last night, but it was less than a day, and he was already a little tired, so he ignored the doubts in his heart and whispered: "I didn't mean to be supportive, but I was afraid that the prince would suspect that I had other purposes." The concubine has lived in this Zhuangzi for a while, and I have secretly touched it a few times, she ...... The hands and feet are a little unclean, and I hope the prince can be on guard. ”

Hands and feet are a little unclean?

Qi Zhiyuan looked down at the woman in his arms and saw some fear in her eyes.

The next day, the palace.

A horse stopped at the main entrance, and there were two people, a man and a woman, sitting on the horse. The black-robed man dismounted first, and after landing steadily, he reached out to pick up the woman in red on the horse.

The woman trusted her so much that she didn't want to jump directly into his arms.

Qi Zhiyuan was very satisfied with this trust, and his big hand quietly pinched her waist, and Su Hong glanced at him quietly, her eyes full of anger.

Walking into the mansion one after another, Su Hong quietly looked here on the road, and found that the mansion in the capital was different from the manor in the countryside, this pavilion, this ingenious design, she had never seen it.

Everywhere you pass, you can see a lot of maids, but except for greeting the prince, they don't raise their eyes to look at it randomly, which is very neat and orderly.

Su Hong grew up in the countryside since she was a child, and although she was carefully taught by her parents, she was still a little nervous at the moment.

She was nervous, but in her mind she had learned over the years, she stood straight and walked dignifiedly, but she didn't know that some people who quietly looked up at her had a hint of surprise in their eyes.

"I've set you up in a yard and I'll have someone take you there." Qi Zhiyuan spoke to her, and his voice was rare and delicate and gentle. ’

Su Hong naturally didn't dare to object, and nodded lightly.

When Qi Zhiyuan returned home, she was dragged to the study by a person, and a girl named Chunhua took her to her small courtyard.

It's a fat powder fragrance, and the smell is still a little familiar.

As soon as she looked up, she saw Fang Hui walking around surrounded by people, she raised her head high, her noble aura was undisguised, Su Hong thought that she didn't have the domineering spirit on her, so she just stood in place obediently and saluted, "Side concubine." ”

"I heard that as soon as the prince came back, he brought back a girl, who looked delicate, so I couldn't help but come over to take a look.

Fang Hui looked at her unabashedly, and said a few words very politely and enthusiastically, but her eyes were indeed cold.

This woman is terrible all over her body.

Su Hong only dared to smile lightly, and replied to her a few words from time to time, but fortunately, Fang Hui didn't plan to stay here for long, and soon was surrounded by people and walked away, which could be regarded as a sigh of relief.

Su Hong was taken back to the mansion by Qi Zhiyuan to be a maid, and her life was quite good, but time has passed quickly in a blink of an eye, and the New Year is approaching.

The fields next to the manor have been put in order by the croppers, and they are ready to continue plowing next spring, and wait for another year's autumn harvest.

In other words, there are no more golden rice paddies in the fields, only bundled wheat stalks, which look really desolate.

This year's harvest was good, and everyone had joy in their eyes.

Xie Ruqing also smiled faintly, standing in the courtyard looking at the sky of this manor, breathing in the fresh air of this manor.

Ruhuan is busy in the house, she wants to pack up the girl's clothes, seeing that the New Year is approaching, the girl is going back to the house for the New Year.

Looking up at one piece, I saw Xie Ruqing standing there motionless, his eyes narrowed, he found a pale pink cloak from the cabinet, walked out quickly and draped it on her shoulders, and went around to tie the rope for her.

"The girl is not tight with her body, if she was infected with the wind and cold this year ago, she will not have a good year."

With a smile in her eyes, she stuck out her tongue and subconsciously looked at a wall in the courtyard.

The yard is not very stable now.

"Childe, do you still want to bring that cyan robe?"

Qingshan tirelessly shouted into the house, his voice was very loud, and the maid in the courtyard who listened subconsciously looked up and looked around, as if he was afraid of losing face.

"Ruhuan, give me my book."

Ruhuan ran in and took the book on the table to her, Xie Ruqing walked out of the courtyard, next door was Qi Yanzhi's house, the door of the study was closed, it should be there to read.

"Oh, thank you, girl, come and return the book, right? Childe happened to be in the study. ”

Aoyama's face was red from the cold, but there was no lack of smile in his eyes, and he pointed to the study, as if he didn't plan to follow up.

Xie Ruqing smiled at him, turned around and went directly to the study, and with a slight push, the door opened, the room was very warm, and there was a huge brazier on the ground.

Qi Yanzhi was reading a book on the table, and when he saw that it was her, he immediately smiled, "I heard that the girl is also going back to the house today, why don't you go together?" ”

Xie Ruqing was stunned when he heard this, and the book was returned.

The hand was empty, it turned out that Qi Yanzhi didn't know when to stand up, took out the book and looked for it on the shelf, and finally put it in a position, Xie Ruqing looked at his hand holding the book, and only felt that it was very good-looking.

It's just that as a man, his hands are a little too pale, and they seem a little unhealthy.

I thought that he was a good-looking person, at least gentle and elegant, and cunning, but he didn't want to delay his life because of a pair of legs.

"As soon as I leave today, I don't know when I will be able to come back."

Qi Yanzhi said softly, looking at her without knowing the deep meaning in his eyes.
