Chapter 15: A Dream of Butterflies

Nanmo is at ease, and there are several new things a year. After the anchovy comes out, the warbler is noisy, and the wind and rain are frequent when the plums are ripe.

As the sun slowly sets, the afterglow weaves the sky like a brocade, the breeze brings a hint of coolness, the summer has come to an end, and the stuffy and impetuous atmosphere in the air has all receded.

Su Yi prepared the dim sum and fruits that the emperor would use in the evening, and walked back to his residence. She was promoted to a blister, made a lot of delicious snacks and tea every day, received a lot of rewards, and had more and more time to rest, not as busy as before.

As soon as I sat down, I saw Xing'er walking in with an unhappy face, and asked in doubt, "What's wrong?" ”

Xing'er sat down and poured a glass of water, but didn't drink it, gently stroked the edge of the cup with her fingers, and muttered to herself, "I haven't seen Ziyi for five days, and I was supposed to meet in the twilight garden today, but he didn't come, so I asked Xiao Ningzi to bring something to say about official business." ”

Su Yi comforted, "Xu is really busy with official business, but it's only been five days, why are you so angry?" ”

"You don't know, we haven't seen each other for so long, it turned out to be three days at most, and he will definitely send me something to write some letterheads, but he hasn't done anything now, only let Xiao Ningzi bring a sentence. Suyi, I'm so scared, I'm afraid Ziyi won't want me......" Xing'er said, tears falling from her eyes.

Su Yi hurriedly wiped away the tears on Xing'er's face with a handkerchief, and persuaded softly: "No, the fifth elder brother likes you so much, why is he willing not to want you?" Don't be cranky, I think he must be busy with official business, and he will come to see you when he is free. ”

"Really?" Xing'er looked at Su Yi with teary eyes.

Su Yi saw that she looked like pear blossoms with rain, pretty and lovely, and said, "Of course it's true, apricots are so beautiful, what man wouldn't like it?" ”

Xing'er burst into tears, wiped the tears from her cheeks with a handkerchief, and said, "You're right, he must be too busy." Definitely! ”

Su Yi raised a smile, but there was some worry in his heart, the fifth elder brother Hongdaygui is the prince, what kind of woman has not been seen in the beautiful little family Jasper, it is not easy for him to be so kind to Xing'er, but if he really changes his mind, what should Xing'er do? Looking at Xing'er's happy and sad appearance, I couldn't help but think of Gu Yanzhao, that day was just a quick glance in the Yujing Pavilion, and the floating light didn't have time to look at him more, I don't know if he missed her? Do you still miss her in your heart? Now that her father is dead, she has no relatives except Gu Yanzhao, but will he wait for her? The ancients said: If you raise the dust on the road, if the concubine is turbid cement, the ups and downs are different, when will the meeting be harmonious? How could this undulating dust and mud not him and her?

Before she came to Hongday to see Xing'er, Xing'er fell ill. Xing'er has a lively temperament, has always been active, and rarely gets sick, but this disease has been sick for several days. Su Yi can't help but feel a little guilty, she only said that Xing'er is to take care of her for days and painstaking work, now Xing'er is sick she is distressed and uncomfortable, Xing'er is confused when she only calls the name of the fifth elder brother, the fifth elder brother seems to have been looking at Xing'er for a long time, since that night Su Yi has always been reluctant to have more contact with him, but now Xing'er is sick, if the fifth elder brother can come to see her, maybe she will get better faster, after thinking twice, Su Yi decided to find an opportunity to find him.

Su Yi took the earrings that the fifth elder brother had given to Xing'er and gave it to Zhang Dongsheng to let him hand it over on his behalf, Zhang Dongsheng was a natural opportunity to walk around the palace, and the fifth elder brother came to the hut where they lived before evening.

At that time, Su Yi was busy feeding Xing'er medicine, Xing'er was already a little clear but still haggard, and her voice was a little weak: "Su Yi, has the fifth elder brother come to see me?" ”

Su Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "That's natural, he was very worried when he saw you like this, and asked me to take care of you, you have to get better quickly so that his concern for you is not in vain." ”

Xing'er raised a smile and answered softly, and Su Yi stroked her and lay down.

Seeing that Xing'er closed her eyes, Su Yi sighed, packed up the medicine bowl and went to open the door, but when she opened the door, she found a man standing outside with a jade tree in the wind, with a tall posture and sword eyebrows that was the fifth elder brother mentioned just now, Su Yi couldn't help but be stunned, and then walked up to him and asked for peace: "Fifth elder brother is auspicious." ”

Hongday didn't tell her to get up, staring at her quietly, Su Yi bowed and saluted, his eyebrows and eyes were lowered, standing in front of him, vaguely revealing a piece of snow-white skin on his neck, he only felt that a faint fragrance seemed to come from her, the slightest wisps of refreshment, and suddenly remembered the situation that night, and couldn't help but get up, his face was dyed with a somewhat unnatural look, Su Yi didn't know his thoughts, he didn't tell her to get up for a long time, she had to maintain a saluting posture, her legs were almost numb, Quietly raised his eyes to look at him but found that he was looking at himself with burning eyes, for no reason he panicked, the foot of a stumble almost fell, Hongtian hurriedly helped her arm, Su Yi stabilized her body, but she was embarrassed, the heat seemed to burn from the ear to the neck, Hongday only felt that she looked obedient like a very white and flawless rabbit, and laughed: "Why are you so nervous?" ”

Su Yi bit her lip and said nothing, Hongyang's palm was still on her arm, and she still felt hot through her clothes, she hurriedly avoided it, but her little face became more and more red, Hongyang also withdrew her hand, and said loudly: "How is Xing'er?" ”

Su Yi settled down a little at this time, and replied: "She's already well, Fifth Elder Brother go and see her, she has been looking forward to you coming." ”

Hongyang smiled and said, "You wait for me, I'll come when I go." ”

Saying that, he walked into the house without waiting for Su Yi to answer, Su Yi stood outside the door uneasily, I don't know what the fifth elder brother was thinking, but he was the elder brother, and Su Yi naturally didn't dare to disobey what he commanded, so he had to stand there and wait.

At this time, it was in the afternoon, the sun was still blazing and dazzling, Su Yi unconsciously felt that the palm of his hand was wet, so he untied the silk handkerchief on the buckle to wipe, the silk handkerchief was embroidered with concubine-colored silk thread camellia, lifelike, Su Yi gently held it with his hand to the sun, the dazzling sunlight softened down as if enveloped in a thin layer of mist, suddenly there were butterflies coming and falling on the camellia on the handkerchief, Su Yi couldn't help but hook his lips and smile, but he didn't dare to move, and looked at the butterfly with tenderness and pity, In an instant, the butterfly spread its wings and flew again, Su Yi took it to her nose and sniffed it gently, but there was no smell, and a voice suddenly sounded in her ears, which only startled her, "Butterflies are not attracted by the fragrance of flowers." ”

The handkerchief fell silently, Hongyang walked up to her and leaned over to pick it up and handed it to her, Su Yi slowly reached out to take it, but Hongday did not let go, his eyes looked at Su Yi gently, and said: "No matter how beautiful the camellia is, it can't withstand your smile when you look back......"

Su Yi's face was red with shame, and her heart was also restless, and Hongyang laughed loudly: "You are really different from Xing'er......

Su Yi took the veil and whispered, "A slave is not as cheerful and honest as Xing'er. ”

Hongyang took a step forward, his eyebrows raised slightly, and his face was narrow: "I think a woman should be like you, so it doesn't make people feel distressed and pity......

Su Yi only felt a bang in his head, and the hand holding the handkerchief trembled slightly, Hongyang stared at her, she lowered her eyebrows but was deferential and weak, like a camellia swinging in the wind, that look only made him feel pity and love, his heart couldn't help but move, his eyes became more and more confused, and he whispered in his mouth: "Su Yi ......"

Su Yi was startled, involuntarily took two steps back, and pretended to bite her lip and said, "If the fifth elder brother has no orders, the slave will retire." There is still something to do in the imperial dining room for the minions to do. ”

With just one sound, the fifth elder brother pulled him out of the dream, he looked at her fixedly, his eyes regained a little clarity, and he only smiled dryly: "Go!" Su Yi hurriedly left, Hongyang looked at the beautiful woman and couldn't help but raise a gentle smile.
