Chapter 18: Jasper Beads
When Su Yirong returned to King Rui's Mansion, it was already dark. The floating clouds drifted by, seemingly clearing away all the fog, and the entire Rui Wangfu was clear under the moon.
When passing through the garden, by the moonlight like water, she saw that in the gazebo not far away, Leng Yanxi was closing her eyes and recuperating.
At that moment, the anger and sour grievances in her heart surged, and her eyes suddenly became a little colder. The person who was closing his eyes felt her gaze, slowly opened his eyes, glanced in her direction, and slowly closed them.
Su Yirong felt that her breath was holding in her chest, and she couldn't get angry, so she picked up a stone on the ground and threw it towards the figure in the pavilion. Hearing Leng Yanxi's muffled snort, Su Yirong knew that he had hit him, and hurriedly ran towards Su Yixuan.
Looking at her back as she ran away quickly, Leng Yanxi's eyes were deep, and her frowning eyebrows were slowly stretched out when she saw her return to Rui Wang's Mansion safely.
Su Yirong ran back to Su Yixuan in one go, for fear that Leng Yanxi would chase after him. When she ran into the yard out of breath, she only heard a "bang". After a second of silence, Xiaoxue cried and threw herself into her arms, "Miss...... Miss ...... "Xiaoxue couldn't cry silently.
Su Yirong pushed her and said with a wry smile: "Xiaoxue, don't hug me so tightly, I'm almost out of breath." ”
Hearing this, Xiaoxue hurriedly let go of her and wiped the tears on her face indiscriminately.
In the room, Su Yirong listened to Xiaoxue sobbing while eating snacks, "Miss...... Do you know that in the three days that you have been in a coma, Xiaoxue can't eat or sleep every day, and only prays that God bless Miss to wake up soon...... Light snow...... I'm so worried about ......."
After saying that, Xiaoxue whimpered and cried again.
Su Yirong hurriedly helped her sit down and comforted, "Aren't I okay now?" Don't cry, your young lady must have been a good person in my previous life, and I have done a lot of good things, so God, I will definitely be good to me in this life, and I will never let me have an accident before I am 100 years old. ”
"Miss......" Xiaoxue was not crying or laughing because she was comforted, and the expressions on her face were crowded together for a while. Su Yirong glanced at it and coughed directly.
It was late at night, and Su Yirong was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.
The moonlight shone through the screen window, sprinkling a haze in the room.
Su Yirong took out a brocade from his arms and looked at it carefully by the moonlight. For some reason, thinking that this Jinpa belonged to King Yi, her heart was warm.
His fingers rubbed together, and he was about to put it in his arms, when he suddenly felt that words seemed to be embroidered on the handkerchief. By the moonlight, she saw a word embroidered on the brocade handkerchief, Yi. She remembered that his name was Leng Yanyi, and this Yi character represented him. Suddenly, there was another inexplicable sadness in my heart. This handkerchief must have been embroidered for him by a woman.
Who could it be? His wife?
Su Yirong realized that she only knew that his name was Leng Yanyi, and she called him Uncle Huang.
The night was getting deeper, and Su Yirong also fell asleep with a veil.
The next day, when she woke up, she suddenly found that the Jinpa in her hand was gone, sat up suddenly, and hurried out of the room. Xiaoxue saw her running out wearing only dirty clothes, and her face was anxious. She hurriedly put down what she was holding, ran over, and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”
"Xiaoxue, did you see the Jinpa in my hand?"
Hearing this, Xiaoxue thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly ran to the bamboo pole where her clothes were drying, took off the Jinpa, and handed it to Su Yirong, "Miss, is this it?" ”
Su Yirong snatched the Jinpa and held it in the palm of his hand.
"Miss, I'm sorry, when Xiaoxue got up in the morning, she saw that the Jinpa in Miss's hand was dirty, so she took it and washed it."
Su Yirong shook his head, "I don't blame you, you can go ahead." With that, she took her handkerchief back to her room. I don't know how long I stared at the Jinpa in my hand, until Xiaoxue entered the room with the washing water, and then hurriedly put the handkerchief away.
Xiaoxue looked at her like this, smiled and came to her side, and asked, "Miss, who gave you such a precious brocade handkerchief?" ”
Su Yirong glared at her, "Mouthy." ”
Xiao Xue immediately pouted, "Xiao Xue also cares about Miss, and Miss is so nervous that this handkerchief must have been given by a very important person." She thought for a moment and blurted out, "It must have been sent by the prince." ”
As soon as the words fell, the smile on Su Yirong's face immediately froze, and his tone was neat and affirmative, "No." ”
Xiaoxue didn't notice the change in her, and was still asking, "Who could it be?" ”
Su Yirong's gaze gradually became distant, he retracted his thoughts, and only said lightly, "It's just a friend who sent it." ”
In order to make Xiaoxue stop asking, Su Yirong hurriedly said, "Xiaoxue, I'm hungry." ”
"Then Xiaoxue, let's go prepare food." With that, she left in a hurry.
After she left, Su Yirong looked at the Jinpa in her hand for a while before putting it away.
A few days passed, and Su Yirong only stayed in Su Yixuan every day, sometimes sitting under the big tree to read a book, and sometimes sitting on a swing in the yard, swinging.
Xiaoxue observed for a few days, and finally mustered up the courage to come forward and ask, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”
Su Yirong closed the book, sat on the swing, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxue, do you want to ask me why I haven't even walked out of Su Yixuan's door in the past few days?" ”
Seeing Xiaoxue nodding, Su Yirong smiled lightly, put her feet a little, and the swing swung. She smiled and asked, "Is it that the way I look is in your eyes, very abnormal?" ”
Xiao Xue just wanted to nod, but shook her head again, "No, it's just that Xiao Xue thinks that Miss you weren't like this before, and I'm afraid that Miss has something on her mind." ”
"I don't have anything on my mind, it's just that after falling into the water last time, the doctor told me to rest and recuperate. That's why I stay here every day, reading books, swinging, and living every day quietly. ”
Seeing that Xiaoxue didn't answer, Su Yirong raised her eyes to look at her, only to see her eyes looking at the door, and said in her mouth, "The slave has seen the prince." ”
Su Yirong was slightly startled, hurriedly got off the swing, turned around, and looked at Leng Yanxi. He walked towards her with a calm face and told Xiaoxue to retreat first.
The courtyard suddenly fell silent.
Although a few days have passed, when Su Yirong thinks of the scene where he angrily asked her in the carriage that day, she can't wait for time to go back to the moment she gets off the carriage, and she must kick him a few times before she is willing.
He looked at her and asked indifferently, "Why don't you speak?" ”
"The concubine is afraid that she will say the wrong thing and make the prince angry."
As soon as the words fell, his brows frowned slightly, "Are you still angry with this king?" ”
"The concubine doesn't dare." The voice was as indifferent as water, with a hint of alienation.
Leng Yanxi suddenly frowned, and the deep and shallow marks between his eyebrows were the same as his mood at the moment. In front of her, she spoke as calmly as water, even with a kind of indifferent alienation.
He didn't like her, and she didn't seem to have a crush on him. And now, she still seems to hate him, deliberately alienating him. Realizing this, he finally got angry.
He admitted that the last time he was in the carriage, he shouldn't have so categorically thought that she pushed Liu Guifei into the water. Later, he also kept complaining about it. Although I knew it was my fault and wanted to come over to apologize to her, I always walked to the lake and turned back. And in the past few days, I heard from the people in the house that she stayed in Su Yixuan every day, and she never even went out of the courtyard gate. thought to herself, she was wronged in her heart, and she was afraid that she didn't want to see him, so she wouldn't leave the hospital.
Thinking of this, he came to Su Yixuan to see her. After all, he had wronged her, and it was his fault, so he lowered his body and came over to see her first. didn't expect her to be so unkind to see him.
The hand behind his back was secretly clenched into a fist, and in the palm of his hand, there was a jasper bead hairpin.
"Su Yirong, do you want to talk to this king in such a weird way?"
Hearing this, Su Yirong was annoyed, she spoke in a weird way? It's clearly him!
She raised her eyes to look at him, and there was a hint of annoyance in her eyes, "Lord Wang, all along, the concubine has been talking like this. Since the prince thinks that it is inappropriate for the concubine to speak like this, then please tell the concubine how to speak. ”
Leng Yanxi listened in a daze, and a trace of darkness crossed his dark jade-like eyes.
What she said just now made him irrefutable.
"Lord Wang, you haven't told your concubine how to speak." Su Yirong asked with a smile.
But her smile is really a smile.
Leng Yanxi's clenched fist tightened again, and the jasper beads in his palm hurt slightly.
"Lord Wang?" Su Yirong called him.
Leng Yanxi collected his thoughts, and his eyebrows stretched, "You can do whatever you like, this king is gone." With that, he turned and left. When I got to the gate, I suddenly stopped again.
"Lord Wang, do you have any other orders?" Su Yirong asked with a smile.
He turned around, stepped forward in a few steps, grabbed her hand, stuffed the jasper bead hairpin in her hand and left. This time, he quickened his pace. After a while, he left the hospital.
Su Yirong looked down at the jasper bead hairpin in his hand, and was stunned for a while, and the fake smile on his face became stagnant.
Xiaoxue ran into the courtyard and said with a smile: "It turns out that the prince came here to give something to the young lady." She stared at the pearl hairpin for a while, and muttered to herself, "But, why did the prince suddenly give the young lady a pearl hairpin?" ”
Su Yirong shoved the pearl hairpin into Xiaoxue's hand, and sat back on the swing as he spoke, "You have to ask your prince about this, I don't know what he is thinking." ”
Sitting on the swing, Su Yirong closed his eyes and felt the sound of the wind blowing in his ears. There seemed to be the scene in front of him questioning her in the carriage, intertwined with the scene of him giving her a pearl hairpin, and suddenly there was a thought in his mind, could it be that he knew that he had misunderstood her, and this pearl hairpin was his gift of apology?
She immediately jumped off the swing, took the pearl hairpin from Xiao Xue's hand, and looked carefully at this jasper pearl hairpin, which was indeed a high-grade pearl hairpin.
Su Yirong raised his eyebrows, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and he thought, okay, Zhu Hai accepts it, but people, it is unforgivable.
