Chapter 251: The future is always bright
In other words, the wooden pillow flow is equivalent to the only light in her life, and now this light is gradually moving away from herself, so how can Natsuki not be sad.
Natsuki bit her lower lip and tried her best to achieve the necessary virtues of a Japanese woman, even if she was sad, she couldn't cry out loud, but the lacewings around her didn't have so many taboos as fluorescent, as long as she thought of the wooden pillow flow, she couldn't bear the anger of her head.
"County Lord, why are you so sad for His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness will agree to others to send you over and kiss, it is equivalent to wanting to cut you off, and now he lives in the second prince's courtyard, and the second prince is not allowed to enter and leave the palace in the capital, and our only use value for His Royal Highness is also broken."
"Moreover, every time he finds an opportunity to attend a banquet to come to see you, he quietly hooks up with the only eldest princess of Daze behind his back, I'm afraid that if things are not difficult in the future, he can have another choice, the county lord, you are completely deceived by him."
The grass butterfly clenched her fists in an atmosphere, and the women of the Japanese Kingdom respected men as the sky, and her thoughts were different from ordinary people, "In this case, county lord, we might as well live our own lives in the future, and never worry about that ruthless and unrighteous Highness again." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, Soseki and I have a deep friendship since childhood, if you let me hear such words again in the future, I will order someone to send you back."
The lacewings said all the words that they had been holding back for a long time, and although these Xia Shu knew it in their hearts, they still unconsciously wanted to make excuses for the flow of wooden sleepers.
At the beginning, Wenren Shushi for the so-called great cause, left the country at a young age, and before leaving, he swore to Natsuki to explain his beliefs, not willing to fight all day long, only willing to live in seclusion in the landscape, his name and later renamed the wooden sleeper stream, also have this meaning, contained in it.
Natsuki has always believed in this, but time has passed, and the honest young man who was honest back then has finally changed.
She angrily scolded the lacewing, but she didn't know that she was actually more angry with this cowardly and simple self in her heart.
Fluorescence was very worried about such a stalemate situation, so she wanted to say a few words for the lacewing, but she didn't want Natsuki to stand up by herself.
She put down the long trailing robe that she would never give up even if it was hot, and wore only two thin layers of white silk, stepped on the large stone slab under the wooden steps step by step, and slowly walked to the persimmon tree in the courtyard.
The big full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival on the fifteenth and sixteenth days has passed a few days from today, and today's moon is not as big and round as those two days, but the same bright and bright moonlight has not lost half a cent at all.
Natsuki looked up, and through the persimmon branches that had begun to bear green fruits, he could see the moon hidden in the darkness and clouds, and he couldn't help but smile sarcastically.
She spread her arms, her clothes were thin, and the clogs at her feet had been forgotten under the steps. If she was dressed like this in the Wa Kingdom, I am afraid that she would have to make irresponsible remarks and insult her for not abiding by women's morals, but now that she is far away from the ocean, who will meddle in her affairs anymore.
Xia Shu narrowed her eyes slightly, stunned and didn't speak, and suddenly stood on her tiptoes on the paved pavement of stone slabs on the grass in the courtyard, and slowly danced the dance she had created, which was once a separate memory of her and Wenren Shushi.
Fluorescence soothed the aggrieved lacewings in her heart and walked to the bottom of the porch, looking at the summer tree dancing alone, the soles of her delicate feet were scratched little by little by the fine dust and stone grains, she didn't notice it at all, and she jumped to the climax at the end, but suddenly heard the entrance of the courtyard, where someone spoke.
"I heard that when you first arrived in Daze, you went on stage to perform a dance, and this time, this is the first time Your Highness has seen it."
With an indifferent handsome face, Xu Yi pushed Xu Ruyu, who was not smiling deeply, and stood at the gate of the courtyard over there and looked at it, as if he had been here for a long time, but quietly did not let anyone know.
Xia Shu turned around and couldn't help but startle Xu Ruyu, the circle under her feet had not been able to finish turning, and she almost sprained her ankle, causing her to temporarily lose her balance and fall on the grass next to the stones.
Fluorescence didn't expect things to turn out like this, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Xia Shu up, and the three of them looked at Xu Ruyu and Xu Yin, who were slowly approaching, and made a salute from the side of the Wa Kingdom.
Xu Ruyu looked at the luggage of their master and servant with deep eyes, then raised his head, and his face returned to an approachable expression, and waved his hand lightly.
"No need to be polite, His Royal Highness wants to say a few words alone with the county lord, you two should retreat first."
It means that Xu Yi will still stay here. Fluorescent and Lacewings hesitated for a while, not daring to leave like this, but Xia Shu didn't care too much, nodded with the two, and then took a step back, very deliberately keeping a relatively safe distance from Xu Ruyu.
"It's just that I danced casually, and I told His Highness to see the joke, and His Highness really won the award."
"Really? But I felt a strong sense of camaraderie from it. Xu Ruyu smiled, "Today, I heard Xu Yi say that you seem to be in a bad mood, so His Royal Highness came to see you, and saw that you can still dance, presumably your body is fine, but this spirit looks." It's really different. ”
"Your Highness is too worried, it's just that I've been deceived once, and I'm sad, I'm afraid it will only be sad for a few days."
Xia Shu's breath stagnated, and that sad mood surged out again, she quickly lowered her head, but she didn't dare to let Xu Ruyu see the tears in her eyes.
"Although you say this, it is very difficult to do, just like His Highness has been deceived once, and this deception is a lifetime."
Xu Ruyu's face was deep, but what he said made Xu Yi behind him a little incomprehensible, Xia Shu slowly raised his eyes, listening to Xu Ruyu's words, he had a feeling of sympathy.
"Your Highness, you are the second prince of the Daze Dynasty, and you have always been deeply favored by Your Majesty, who would come to lie to you?"
"Yes, even I didn't expect to be deceived for so long, and now I still have trust in her original words. It's just that for your words, I hope you can come to your senses as soon as possible, after all, being kept in the dark is really a very sad and suffocating thing. ”
Xu Ruyu pursed his mouth slightly, and there was a little more self-deprecation in his smile, Xia Shu couldn't help but sniff his nose when he heard it, and there was a little more choking in his throat.
Seeing this, Xu Ruyu was embarrassed to continue to poke Xia Shu's wound, so Xu Yi pushed himself closer and raised his hand, and then handed a handkerchief to Xia Shu.
"Actually, I've heard some rumors about you. But I don't mind, I just don't know if anyone has said that you turned out to be a woman like the moon. ”
When the words landed, Natsuki took the handkerchief, but his eyes looked down slightly in disbelief, looking down at Xu Ruyu's eyes full of stories. Xu Ruyu smiled lightly, "This dance you just now is very beautiful, I don't know what the name is, can you dance again?" ”
Xia Shu didn't answer for a while, so Xu Ruyu hurriedly changed his words, "If you don't have this mood, it's okay not to dance." ”
"This, nameless, if His Royal Highness likes the moon, he will give it the name 'Moon Hime'."
"Very good." Xu Ruyu was afraid that his request would be too much, so he quickly relieved himself, but Xia Shu agreed by himself and changed the official name of this dance.
After Xu Ruyu was stunned, he smiled and asked Xu Yi to push himself to give up his position, and the two quietly enjoyed the dance of the peony county lord under the moon.
In this way, it was equivalent to mixing up the time of this night, and when the sun was bright the next day, Su Jiao hurriedly got up from the bed, and did not forget to urge Xiao Huai'an to change his clothes as well.
Mu Hibiscus and Mu Rong prepared the carriage and all the necessary bags early, and as long as Xiao Huai'an returned from the palace, the two could officially set off.
"Today, the sun has just dawned, and you are so anxious to urge me to go to the palace, I was worried that because of the epidemic, the city gate has been open late during this time, let's hurry over, I'm afraid we will have to wait at the city gate for a while,"
"But I didn't expect you to dress up yourself, until I came back, you didn't start to prepare to change clothes, but asked me to wait for you for half an hour, why didn't I find you so able to pass the time before?"
Xiao Huai'an pinched the bridge of his nose with two fingers, and sat in the corner of the carriage with a smile in his heart, looking at Su Jiao, who was faintly looking forward to and excited, and dressed up decently, and couldn't help but say a few words.
Su Jiao smiled so much that the corners of her mouth could reach the bottom of her ears, and it was easy to recover from the excessive excitement, turned around and sat up straight, and blocked all the words that Xiao Huai'an had just complained about.
"This girl naturally has to clean up, and she can only go out if she looks better, otherwise she will be sloppy and make people laugh, just follow you and make people look at it, and your own face will be disgraceful."
"Besides, what were we like before? What are we like now? You don't have a chance, if you know, how much work it takes for a woman to take care of this hair, and how much work it takes to maintain it, you will understand that my actions today are already very fast. ”
Su Jiao puffed out her cheeks unhappily, and her two hands were also divided into heroic insertions on her waist, "Besides, you are still embarrassed to complain about me, I haven't asked you yet, why didn't I find out that your patience was so poor before, and you still talk so much, sure enough, you men have never understood the suffering of women, and you have no patience at all." ”
