Chapter 21: Chinese New Year's Eve to soothe the little milk dog
Rong Hao was defeated by her sudden gentleness.
Except for Ji Ming, no one has ever told him, "Don't be afraid, I'll accompany you." I remember that when he was a child, he was afraid of the dark, and the queen would educate him, "Boy, what are you afraid of?" "Tell the palace people not to keep vigil in the house at night, and to extinguish all the candles. He was alone in the corner of the bed, shivering. These past events are unbearable, but in the comfort of Su Xia's voice, layers of them come to mind.
There was indescribable emotion in his eyes, and he vaguely agreed in his throat, "Hmm." ”
Su Xia thought about it and hugged Rong Hao's waist. She buried her head in Rong Hao's chest and said in a muffled voice: "Lord Wang, on this day of family reunion, you should miss your mother." ”
Rong Hao took advantage of the situation to put his chin on the top of her hair, and just came out in a hurry, the two of them lost their velvet hats in Fengxiang Palace and did not take them out. "Actually, I don't know what to think, I don't even know what she looks like. She was born humble, and she doesn't have any self-respecting palace people, what do you think of me? ”
Su Xia's head was pressed against Rong Hao's chest, and Rong Hao's voice seemed to come out of his chest, muffled. She had never seen Rong Hao's appearance, sometimes he was hippie and smiling, sometimes wild and evil, but this helplessness was the first time that he was unabashedly displayed in front of people, and even Ji Ming had never seen it.
Su Xia tightened the hand around his waist, and his heart ached. She didn't know how to answer, and rubbed Rong Hao's chest with her face.
Rong Hao sighed, "Su Xia, you said that if you are really a woman, this king will go to ask his father for marriage immediately, and you will never want to leave me in the future." ”
Su Xia's heart was softened by his last note, and she almost tore off her chest cloth in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Rong Hao, look at me, I'm just a woman." But reason defeated the devil in her heart, impulsiveness is not advisable, she imagined it, Rong Hao was so sad and sad at this time, in case she knew that she had deceived him for so long, I was afraid that she would go crazy.
She comforted in a low voice: "Lord Wang, even if you are a eunuch, I can always accompany you without leaving, I want to watch you ascend to the throne, and don't forget to give me the chief manager of the inner house when the time comes." ”
Rong Hao laughed at her, reached out, and lifted her chin.
Su Xia blinked at him, his eyes were filled with sadness, where his deceased mother once lived, in the days of the reunion of thousands of families, the melancholy in his heart had nowhere to vent.
Su Xia's small hand touched his brow: "Lord Wang, don't frown." I like the way you smile, and I'm going to feel sorry for you like this. ”
Then slowly transition from the eyebrows to the face, and then to Rong Hao's lips.
She carefully traced the contours of Rong Hao's face. The fingers were cold, touching Rong Hao's cheeks, bringing a hot flash. Rong Hao felt that his self-control was too poor, and he couldn't stand any temptation from Su Xia at all, whether it was intentional or unintentional.
Rong Hao hugged her and pressed her lips in a panic. The first kiss was a little urgent, kissing Su Xia's chin, and soon he went up his chin and kissed Su Xia's lips. The thin and fragile face was flushed with red tide in Rong Hao's attack, and it was as bright as the red plum in the imperial garden. Su Xia was kissed by him like duckweed in the wind, and there was nowhere to live, so he stretched out his hands and hooked Rong Hao's neck.
The two of them were in this deserted palace, hugging each other in the cold wind, intertwining lips and tongues, exchanging enthusiasm.
After a long time, Rong Hao let go of Su Xia, who was already out of breath. Su Xia's feet were a little soft, and her hand climbed Rong Hao's arm, using her strength to stand firmly. This little wolf cub would not let go every time she held it, and she had to wait until she thought she was about to die before giving her a chance to breathe.
Rong Hao lowered his head and looked at his masterpiece with an appreciative expression. After thinking about it, he imprinted a seal behind Su Xia's ear, "This king has carved a seal for you, and you will be this king's in the future, don't think about running." ”
Su Xia looked at him with blurred eyes, "Don't run, don't run anywhere." ”
Rong Hao laughed, hugged her up, and held her in his arms. He said to the empty palace: "Mother, look, my son has brought Su Xia to you, do you like it or not?" ”
As if I really felt something, the snow on the roof fell a lot down the hole into the house, flying and flying, like fine crystals in the sunset.
Rong Hao kissed Su Xia on the cheek: "Xiao Xia, you see, my mother likes you very much." "Hold Su Xia and circle in place. He is very happy in his heart, what is it if there is no heir, what is it if he has no heirs, what is it to cut off children and grandchildren, it is best to be able to get a one-hearted person, and it is best to be inseparable from life and death.
Su Xia put her arms around his neck, worried that Rong Hao would fall her to the ground happily, and she shouted in a low voice: "Ah, Lord Wang, be careful, I'm afraid." ”
Rong Hao looked at her cowardly, playful, hugged her and kept turning, the previous loneliness was swept away, and laughter spread throughout the entire empty palace.
The feast had already begun as soon as it was dark. The princes and princesses gathered together, the emperor and the queen sat at the top, and the concubines with children sat at the bottom. The sons and grandsons saluted the emperor and the harem. Rong Hao pulled Su Xia to kneel down together, and read in his mouth: "Erchen wishes my father, the queen mother and all the mothers a happy New Year. ”
The old emperor looked at a large group of sons and daughters and grandsons under the hall, and his smiling eyes were Mimi. He said to the children below, "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, all of you get up, don't be restrained." Then he turned his head and said to Father-in-law Hu: "Mustache, you go and ask someone to bring the New Year's bag." ”
The palace people held trays and handed out red envelopes to everyone. Su Xia also got one, and she was very happy. But before the money was hot, it was confiscated by Rong Hao, and he lowered his voice and said to Su Xia: "I'll help you keep it, and you can find me to get it if it's useful." ”
Su Xia stretched out his hand to grab it, but was slapped off by Rong Hao: "Don't think about it." ”
She looked at Rong Hao aggrievedly: "Lord Wang, why are you so stingy, why are you harsh on my silver tael?" Rong Hao poked her head, "You think for yourself." ”
I thought to myself, what did I think? Where did I make a grudge against money? I don't remember what I swore at that time that I would raise ten or eight godsons.
Rong Hao thought of Su Xia's bold words in the carriage that day, and he was very angry in his heart. I won't give her a chance.
The eighth princess is the youngest, just nine years old, and she is the emperor's old daughter, and she is very favored. She sat under Rong Hao and Su Xia, looked up, saw the red mark behind Su Xia's ear, and said to Rong Hao with a smile: "Seventh brother, why do you see that there is a red mark behind this Su Gonggong's ear?" ”
Su Xia's face turned red from the base of her neck. She uncomfortably pulled the collar of her robe upwards, intending to cover Rong Hao's seal for her.
Rong Hao lowered his head, carefully arranged her collar, turned to his sister and said, "Old eight, what do you know about a little hairy child." Don't ask what you shouldn't. ”
The eighth princess grinned: "I have seen it on my mother before, she said that it was bitten by her father, and this Brother Su will not also be bitten by Brother Su." ”
The child's words are unscrupulous, and the voice is brittle and does not know how to converge. The old emperor and her mother, Concubine Huang, cleared their throats uncomfortably when they heard this. The old emperor glanced at Concubine Huang through the crowd, and a blush floated on Concubine Huang's cheeks, and she lowered her head and smiled. Everyone in the audience laughed.
Rong Chao talked the most, he specially ran to Su Xia and looked at Su Xia's neck: "Well, I think it's a good bite." Old Seven, you have to be gentle, don't let you gnaw the little eunuch's fine skin and tender meat. ”
Everyone laughed again, and Su Xiazhen was eager to dig a hole in the ground and bury herself.
Under the table, Rong Hao shook her hand and whispered in her ear, "It's okay, don't be shy." They have no ill will. ”
Su Xia took a few deep breaths and calmed down a little.
The queen sat beside the emperor and watched this farce, feeling very uncomfortable. This eighth princess is really open-mouthed, and Concubine Huang doesn't know how to teach her daughter. Thinking about her eldest princess, she is as quiet as a virgin, and she can't be compared with this hairy girl, and her daughter is a concubine. She scolded in her heart, and she had to cater to everyone and laugh together.
At this time, the dancers came up to dance, and their graceful and slender waists moved and twisted on the field, which was beautiful. The eldest prince stared at it for a while, and then the eldest princess twisted his ears. He said, "Yo yo yo, it hurts, Madame spare me once." The scream attracted everyone's attention, and the eldest princess held up her seven-month-old pregnant belly, with her hands on her waist, and looked like I would take care of my man. Everyone laughed again.
The wrinkles on the old emperor's smiling face squeezed into a chrysanthemum: "Rongchao has to find a ruthless person to treat him, Concubine Hua, your daughter-in-law here has chosen well." ”
Concubine Hua smiled and toasted a glass of wine to the emperor: "Thanks to the emperor." The concubine gave the emperor a glass of wine. She has bright eyes and bright teeth, although she is already a, but as soon as she raises her hand and raises her chin, the old emperor's heart is still itching on her white neck.
"The concubine is bold, and the lonely also drank this cup."
The feast continued, and everyone was drinking. Even the eighth princess had a good and intoxicating fruit wine in front of her desk. Only Su Xia and Rong Hao's table was missing.
Su Xia watched everyone drink very happily, and estimated that the eighth princess's fruit wine should be very sweet, she tugged Rong Hao's robe sleeve: "Lord Wang, don't we drink something?" ”
Rong Hao ruthlessly slapped her hand away, "Drink tea." ”
She looked at Rong Hao pitifully: "Everyone is drinking, I don't drink anything else, can I drink some fruit wine like the eighth princess, can I do it at all?" It looks sweet and delicious. ”
Rong Hao's eyelids jumped when he heard that she was going to drink. Ruthlessly turned his head: "No, don't even think about it." You are not allowed to touch the wine, and we are not allowed to have any alcohol in the house in the future. ”
Su Xia sighed dejectedly.
Seeing that she was very depressed, Rong Hao beckoned to the palace people behind him and gave a few orders. After a while, the palace people brought a large pot of honey sweet orange water.
Rong Hao poured a large cup for Su Xia: "You drink this, this is sweet, it's delicious." ”
Su Xia was skeptical, picked it up and tasted it, it was really delicious. It's a fight with the orange juice I drank before, sweet, sour, oh, and the banquet with a drink is like a banquet.
Her smiling eyes narrowed, like a puppy, drinking the sweet orange water in the cup, the mood is very wonderful, Chinese New Year's Eve is still very happy, although the red envelope was confiscated, but she is very happy to eat and drink well.
The sound of fireworks sounded outside the hall, and everyone was led out of the banquet hall by the emperor and empress, and came to the long corridor in front of the door. Ten thousand silver flowers shine in the sky, and the night shines like polar day.
Everyone watched the fireworks with great interest.
Rong Hao secretly took Su Xia's hand under the sleeve of his robe, held it in his palm, and held it very tightly.
