Chapter Twenty-Three: Care
My cheeks instantly flushed, and I felt that I could be regarded as a Jianghu person, and I shouldn't care about such a small section, but when I felt that Shang Jinming had been silently paying attention to me, I still couldn't help but feel a little shy.
"Father, in this battle, wouldn't we let Liu Mu that old ······ in vain?" The elder brother paused suddenly, "Let Liu Mu take advantage?" My brother is a person who fights on the battlefield, where can I get used to these intrigues in Beijing, and said indignantly.
"Dusk Yuan, you don't have to be too angry, after all, Liu Mu is the emperor Shangqing, and he has been favored by the emperor for many years, his words, His Majesty will definitely believe it, besides, Dusk Xue She is the emperor's guard, it's really talking, and there is really no one who the emperor trusts more." Jin Ming said slowly.
At this time, it was already past noon, a little slave walked into the hall lightly, and Gong Jin saluted everyone in the hall, "Master Hou, Madame instructed the slave to invite you and the son, the young lady and the distinguished guests to lunch." ”
"No need, thank you for the princess's kindness first, I came to inform the reason, it's not too early, I have to go back to the palace to be on duty, so I won't eat." Jin Ming got up as he said and saluted like his father.
"If that's the case, then I won't keep you, and I'll come back another day." As he spoke, my father waved his hand and motioned for me to see him off.
"Yes." I answered.
The road from the living room to the front yard was not very close, and I thought that he should hurry back to his duty, but he seemed to deliberately slow down, as if he was deliberately waiting for me to catch up.
I walked two steps quickly to catch up with him, the sun at noon was hot, shining on the body felt hot, Shang Jinming under the sun, his facial features were a little blurred, but he added a bit of sunshine, and there was no trace of the cruelty of the past. I don't feel so afraid of him anymore.
"Thank you for coming to tell me." I didn't know what to say, so I had to thank you first.
"Che, why do you think I'm here for you?" He said dismissively. "Twilight and I grew up together."
Hearing him say this, I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, thinking that I had been making a mistake just now. But in this way, I was much more relaxed, and felt that I was just a world friend with him, and there was nothing special. Suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, I raised my head slightly, and I had to close my eyes in the scorching sun.
Shang Jinming seemed to think of something, and a trace of hesitation appeared between his eyebrows, but it disappeared in an instant. "Okay, don't send it, it's hot at noon, take care of your body and wait for the competition!" With that, he turned and walked away.
I didn't eat much for lunch, I don't know if it was because of the heat at noon or because Shang Jinming's intention to come this time has always been unpredictable for me.
After lunch, my father went back to the study, my brother went to the martial arts training ground, and my mother originally pulled me and said that I wanted to see an embroidery sent by Mrs. Yushi of the Shen family two days ago, saying that the embroidery was extremely exquisite, and it was the most popular reverse needle technique in Jianghuai this year. I didn't have any interest in these female celebrities, and I was a little unwell, just like my mother took a leave.
Back in my room, I plunged into the soft bed and fell asleep groggily.
"Miss, miss, are you awake?"
When I opened my eyes, I saw Ling Qiao approaching me, and her eyebrows flickered, startled.
"Miss, are you okay, why did you take a nap today, you have rarely taken a nap, and why did you sleep so deeply today, is there something uncomfortable?" Ling Qiao began to nag again.
I was still lazily spread out on the bed, "What time is it?" But it's time for dinner? ”
"Not yet, miss." Ling Qiao deliberately pretended to sigh and said, "Childe has returned home, do you know who else is coming with you?" ”
"Who? Zuo is just a young lady who admires her brother and also came to send her courtesy. I said without thinking.
"King Dingbei!"
"The Eighth Prince!" Before she could finish, I grabbed the conversation.
At this time, I seemed to have a thousand words in my heart, which poured into my heart for a while, but I was a little chaotic and confused.
I was a little nervous, my feelings for Yuan Hao were different from those for Shang Jinming, although I had only seen him once or twice, but my heart was inexplicably deeply imprinted on his appearance, and there was always a feeling of being a little girl shy.
"Miss, what do you think? Madame asks you how well you are? Can dinner be served to your boudoir? ”
"No, let's use it with my father and mother."
Although I answered simply, I hesitated in my heart. In front of the bronze mirror, I gently combed my long green hair, and the silver comb in my hand slowly swept through the hair.
I picked a slightly simple plain white brocade dress, embroidered a strange and strong branch on the fabric with dark brown gold thread, and embroidered a budding begonia flower with peach silk thread, extending from the skirt to the waist, a wide purple belt tightened the thin waist, showing a slender figure, but also gave people a sense of elegance and luxury, draped in a light purple open gauze, every move led to a sense of sparkling flow, and a piece of jade jade jade pendant was tied around the waist, adding an elegant atmosphere. Holding a light feather fan in his hand, a long black hair with a light green ribbon crowned a simple and neat hairstyle, the middle of the ribbon is inlaid with a white and dazzling pigeon egg gem, ingeniously made into the shape of green bamboo with leaves. The willow eyebrows are painted with carbon black, and the skin is fair and delicate, the charming and charming Danfeng eyes are full of brilliance between the eye waves, and the pink rouge is applied to make the skin appear white and red, and the lips are simply smeared with light red lip red, and the whole face looks plain and pleasant.
The appearance of a beauty, makeup and grooming are late. By the time I arrived in the hall, everyone was already seated, my father, my mother, my brother, and ······
Although the characters in the hall are all dignitaries, his bearing is still difficult to hide the style of a king. Sitting next to my brother was Yuan Hao.
I strolled into the hall, and Gong Jin bowed down with his hand.
"Little sister, I heard that you were sick, I thought you wouldn't come out for dinner, are you better?" My brother said with concern.
"Okay, it's just that I suffered some heat at noon, where did people who practice martial arts come from so delicate." I'm the most favored in my family, so I always don't speak in proportion on weekdays.
"Still Twilight Snow has the style of a female general, when you are older, you will go out with me to show the style of our golden female general." Yuan Hao on the side responded heartily.
Hearing him say this, the people in the hall were stunned for a while, and they were suddenly silent.
Yuan Hao seemed to realize that he had lost his words, and he was stunned for a while, slowly raised the wine glass, but stopped at his mouth, and before he could enter the mouth, a light smile appeared on his lips, and his eyebrows frowned slightly, and said, "Yes, I'm afraid I'll have to get married when Dusk Xue is older." ”
Hearing Yuan Hao's self-deprecation, everyone lost the tension just now and relaxed.
"I don't want to get married, like my aunt, fight on the battlefield and become a heroine, that's my ambition."
