Chapter Fifty-Eight: Before the Flower and Under the Moon 2
Jiang Qiushui said: "Generally, in fact, what I make is much better than this." ”
Suddenly, it seemed like something happened, "You should have tasted it, right?" I went to your house to deliver it before, but you weren't there then. ”
"......" Qi Jin recalled that after the box was checked to be non-toxic, he casually rewarded Jin He with the pastries.
And Jin He thought about it for several days after eating, and he was very disdainful of it.
Qi Jin's face remained unchanged, "I've tasted it, it's very delicious, Miss Jiang's craftsmanship is very good." ”
Jiang Qiushui accepted his praise without doubt, and said with a smile: "Have vision!" After thinking about it, he continued: "Next time I have the opportunity, I will invite you to try my craft." ”
"Ordinary people don't have that opportunity."
Qi Jin smiled, different from the usual gentle mask-like smile in front of everyone, her delicate and elegant facial features stretched out, and the smile reached the bottom of her eyes.
Around Jiang Qiushui, he looked in the mirror every day and boasted that he was immune to all beauty, but he still couldn't help but be stunned.
In a trance, I seemed to hear a very low voice saying, "Today is my birthday." ”
……
"You stand here and don't move, I'll come later."
Jiang Qiushui dropped such a sentence, and no matter whether Qi Jin agreed or not, he didn't know where to run away when he was oiled on the soles of his feet.
And Qi Jin actually stood here and waited for nearly a quarter of an hour.
He looked in the direction the girl had left, and it was pitch black and there was nothing.
But as if he had seen something, the sparkle in his eyes suddenly lit up.
In the next second, the person who had just run away went and returned, with his hands behind his back, walking towards him step by step, the wind on the autumn night was a little cold, but her smile was bright that he had never seen.
At this moment, an inexplicable expectation suddenly rose in Qi Jin's heart.
In fact, for so many years, he has never officially celebrated his birthday, because people in the royal family have always cherished their lives, for fear of leaking this information and being tricked by someone with a heart, so his nurse told him since he was a child that he must not tell others his true birthday, he remembered the instructions of the nurse, so no one knew his real birthday, and over time, even his closest people forgot it, only he remembered.
Fortunately, this day is more special, it is August 15, so when he was a child, he would be complacent and deceive himself, and everyone was celebrating his birthday.
After coming to Nanser, he suddenly felt that it was no fun to deceive himself like this, and casually recounted a day to the outside world, claiming that it was his birthday.
It's ridiculous to say that no one was worried about his birthday when he was in Beicang, but after coming to Nanse, some people were happy to talk about this casually said day for him.
He used to think it would be sad if his birthday could not be celebrated and no one knew about it.
When seeing He Xi and a group of people celebrating a meaningless day, Qi Jin thought she was happy.
He even thought about changing his birthday to this day.
He asked himself, it didn't matter what day it was really born, what was important was that someone was willing to celebrate him, wasn't it?
What day of his real birthday is, whether there is anyone who cares about it, he doesn't care at all.
It's been so long, so long that he can't remember which day was his birthday.
But when he looked up at the unique golden disc in the night, he suddenly remembered.
A voice told him.
No.
This day is unique, only on this day the moon is exceptionally full and exceptionally bright.
He still longs for someone to say happy birthday to him on this day.
……
He couldn't tell why he wanted to tell her that today was his birthday, the sweet and fruity fragrance of moon cakes lingered on his lips and tongue for a long time, and the girl's concerned eyes did not carry any selfish desires, and he suddenly had an impulse in his heart, and he couldn't stop the car when the words came to his mouth, but when he blurted out, he was suddenly frightened and lost his confidence.
He was ready to hear her say that he didn't hear clearly, and then he would smile lightly, and quietly hide the inexplicable secret expectation in his heart.
But she left suddenly, and went and returned, and stood in front of him, and mysteriously made him close his eyes, and he felt something more in his head, and suddenly the smell of flowers emanated from the air.
Jiang Qiushui stepped on his feet, raised the garland in his hand and gently placed it on Qi Jin's head, the size was just right, it seemed that her eyes were quite good.
"Time is in a hurry, let's make a wreath and give it as a gift."
As she got closer, she picked up a familiar scent, but it was quickly masked by the intense scent of flowers, leaving no one to be seen.
It's a delusion, right?
Jiang Yushui took a few steps back and admired it for a while, nodded with satisfaction, and praised: "Delicate flowers with beauties, very good!" ”
The son Qi Jin, who has always hated being evaluated by others, did not feel disgusted with being called a "beauty" for the first time on the day of his sixteenth birthday.
He looked at the boundless night, and suddenly felt that the biting wind in the night was not as unbearable as Fang Cai, and the seemingly lonely and indifferent moon in the treetops was actually surrounded by faint starlight.
……
When they were about to reach the courtyard, the two stopped, and Jiang Yushui said, "I'll go first." ”
Qi Jin didn't say anything, looked at her back, and suddenly stopped her.
Jiang Qiushui turned around, this is a remote corner, there is no lantern hanging, the darkness makes her unable to see the face of the person behind her, only to hear him smile lightly and say: "I don't know if Miss Jiang has ever heard that Prince Ji only drinks a kind of wine called Bingluo in the palace, this wine is made of many special precious materials, so the container is different from ordinary wine jugs." ”
Jiang Qiushui had a big alarm bell in his head.
He actually knew that she had drugged Prince Ji when she stopped the palace maid just now!
She did stop her because of the special wine pot held by the palace maid, in her previous life, she noticed that Xia Shu must enter the palace a few days before the fifteenth day of the month, at first she thought that he entered the palace because he needed to discuss with Xia Hao, but later found that he did not go to Xia Hao, nor did he find anyone else, but to drink.
I've never heard that Prince Ji Xia Shu is an alcoholic, and he deliberately entered the palace just to drink? With his identity and ability, what kind of wine do you want to drink?
Jiang Qiushui was suspicious at the time, and only regarded it as the news that he had released from others, until he accidentally passed by a pavilion once, and smelled the strong medicinal fragrance mixed with the aroma of wine from a distance, and when he got closer, it turned out that the maidservant girl clumsily knocked over a pot of wine, which made Prince Ji, who had always been very personable in front of people, furious.
When the person with his back to her turned around, Jiang Yushui was startled by the pair of crimson eyes.
Later, she paid attention to the investigation, but it was still fruitless, obviously someone did not want her to know about it, but Jiang Yushui could vaguely guess that the effect of the wine might be related to his violent abnormality.
Although the cause and effect were not found, Jiang Yushui remembered the appearance of the wine jug that was knocked to the ground at that time.
It is different from the flasks commonly used in the palace.
