Chapter XVII
Unlike in the past, today he only wore a cyan robe, his jet-black hair was simply tied on the top of his head with a bamboo slip, and the wind in the yard shook his clothes with his slow steps.
Seeing me, he glanced in the direction of the secret room and said, "Chu Feng has already come out?" ”
He ...... Just walked away. ”
Trembling his eyelids slightly, he turned his eyes, his hand was naturally behind him, and his gaze drifted into the distance through the layers of black tiles.
In the south of the late autumn, the sky is often gloomy, and occasionally a few rays of sunshine shine in the clouds, but people don't feel the slightest warmth, just like the person in front of me.
He was always like that, cold, lukewarm.
After standing for a long time, Chu Yu finally withdrew his gaze, turned his eyes to me and said, "Today is the princess's birthday, you go to the princess's mansion for the prime minister, this is ...... It's a congratulatory gift. ”
The hand under the wide sleeves stretched out, and there was a small dark red box in his hand, and a pink peach blossom was carved on the top of the box.
Peach blossom is Rong Yin's favorite flower.
My heart trembled inexplicably, I took the gift box, held it tightly in the palm of my hand, and said hello softly.
"If she asked, she would say that I was busy...... You go and go back quickly. With a faint word, he turned and left, as if he had come, the wind was light, but it took my whole thought away.
In the seven years I have been in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I have not had a birthday, and he has never given me anything.
I was holding the small box in my palm, and for some reason, my heart ...... Good sour.
I never like to declare my anger on the surface, he Chu Yu thinks I am a wooden man, but I have flesh and blood...... I have a heart, too.
All the way to the stunned, I still followed his instructions to the royal garden, this garden is close to the palace, although not as majestic as the palace, but also carved railings, without losing the elegance.
Rong Yin is the sister of Rong Xuan's mother, and she has been deeply favored by Emperor Xuan since she was a child.
On the princess's birthday, the people who came to congratulate the gift were naturally not laymen, and as soon as I entered the mansion of the other garden, I saw Prince Su chatting with a few young people from a distance, and I thought that the identities of those people were not ordinary.
I have never liked to make friends with those dignitaries, and I thought that I would leave after giving gifts, so I bypassed the main hall according to the instructions of the maid and went to the side hall where the princess was.
At that time, Rong Yin was writing under a peach tree in the courtyard, and the autumn wind stirred off some peach leaves.
Walking slowly to her side, I lowered my eyes to look at the table in front of her, a few strokes on the snow-white rice paper were delicate and smart, and as she gently put down the pen, I followed her stroke by stroke to read out the disturbing words:
"Mo Dao does not kill the soul, the curtain is the west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers."
"Oops!" Hearing my voice, Rong Yin hurriedly covered the handwriting, turned to look at me, and looked embarrassed, "It's going to be late!" ”
With a wave of my hand, I lowered my eyebrows and said softly: "The princess forgives her sins, and the night will be disturbed." ”
"What's the matter, I'm very happy that you're here," Rong Yinyan smiled, pulled me to the side and sat down, and asked while instructing the maid to pour tea, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but did you come with your brother?" ”
"My brother can't come because of something, so I asked me to send a gift to the princess." I took out the small box given by Chu Yu and handed it to her carefully.
"What a delicate box!" Taking the gift box, Rong Yin was very happy, "I'll see what's inside." ”
She winked playfully at me and opened the box...... As her eyes shifted to the box, I fixed my eyes on the contents of the box.
In the box framed with yellow silk, there is a slender jasper hairpin, the hairpin body is round and smooth, and it is cast from the best dear jasper.
I didn't expect him to give such a woman's thing.
"It's really beautiful," took the hosta and looked at it again, Rong Yin couldn't put it down, "Chu Yu is also good at choosing things, will it be too late, don't you?" ”
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at me and pinned the hosta to her head.
Expensive but not vulgar, really good-looking.
"I didn't expect him to have this heart." I stared at her quietly, a gentle smile on the corner of my mouth, but the tip of my nose was sour.
Lowering the hand touching the hairpin, Rong Yin gradually lost her smile, looking at me, her phoenix eyes had a little more worry.
"It's going to be late," she whispered my name, her voice deep and thoughtful, "you say...... Why did Chu Yu reach such an age, and he still didn't marry a wife? ”
Indeed, Chu Yu is eight years older than me, and he is already twenty-five this year, and the children of his age are seven or eight years old, but he has no idea of marrying a wife.
But why is he?
Probably ...... Because of Liu Qianlan, I secretly speculated in my heart.
But looking at Liu Qianlan's appearance, I couldn't bear it, so I had to say: "Brother, he is dedicated to national affairs, and I don't want to care about these children now." ”
"But no matter how busy he is, he should have someone by his side who will take care of him all his life." Rong Yin looked at me steadily, a pair of clear eyes were filled with a strange firmness, and in those light brown pupils, I seemed to see myself.
