140 The heart is cold, but the heart is warm
However, all that answered her was the endless cold wind, and the person who was originally standing there disappeared in just a glance from Xia Xiaoxiao, and there were his footprints on the ground, only in front of her, and the rest of the place was so intact that there was no trace of stepping on it.
He flew away.
"Hey! And the fall! You haven't told me about the end yet! ”
She got up and shouted, but she didn't know which direction to chase, and the last time it was the same, inexplicably, disappeared in front of her eyes.
Xia Xiaoxiao didn't dare to delay, and she didn't have the heart to look for him, so she hurriedly went to the direction of the Tai Hospital, and spent a few taels of silver to let the Tai Doctor see the pulse for her, saying that it was nothing wrong, she still couldn't let go of her heart, although he should be a person who had fallen behind, but he always felt that he didn't have any good intentions, otherwise, how could he poison her first?
Xia Xiaoxiao spent a few days in fear, but she still didn't find anything unusual in her body, so she gradually put her mind at ease, she couldn't lose her life, and she would not be blessed to enjoy when she left the palace.
The man really came to give her an antidote, as he said, and he didn't reveal anything about where he was now.
Xia Xiaoxiao thought that she had to come up with a way to get something out of Beigong Yu, but she gradually got used to the days when Beigong Yu called her at every turn, fortunately, Beigong Yu rarely embarrassed her anymore, but the days became more and more boring.
She stayed by Beigong Yu's side all day long, and now she has to follow him even when he goes to the court, and she has to follow behind him after the next court, everything that used to be done smoothly is now all pushed to her hands, and occasionally she wants to go to the palace to walk around at will, and after a while, Beigong Yu called someone to look for her, delaying the hour, and Xia Xiaoxiao didn't want to sleep quietly one night.
Also because she was waiting for him in the middle of the night, Xia Xiaoxiao felt a little cold, and she was unwell at first, and her heart rose again, thinking that the poison that the peacock gave her had attacked, but when she went to the hospital, the old lady doctor told her that she was relieved only because of some cold, but the taste of wind cold was not good.
These imperial doctors raised by Beigong Yu are too pitiful, they used to see that she was the princess for the sake of catching medicine, but they didn't need silver, but now she went in person, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she asked for a big price, and now she is not as usual, a penny or two of silver is enough for her to earn a long time, and she still has to save up the cost of leaving the palace, a few days ago to see if she was poisoned, she has spent some money, and today she knows that it is just a cold, and she is reluctant to spend the silver on buying medicine.
With a nose blown red by the wind, she hurried back to the imperial garden, because she thought it was a toxic attack, she didn't dare to let Beigong Yu know, at this time, she took advantage of Beigong Yu's leisure to invite his concubines to sit in the imperial garden to sneak out, after a long time, it was difficult to guarantee that Beigong Yu found that she slipped away.
At that time, the warblers and swallows danced in the imperial garden.
In the winter, in such a cold wind, it is indeed the song and dance of the warbler.
Beigong Yu set up a banquet in the pavilion, surrounded by some guards, and also surrounded by those women, which was very lively.
The pavilion is big, there is a round stone table in the center, Beigong Yu is sitting in the middle of the upper position, and the concubines of higher rank are sitting around Ye Qiuyu and Xia Yingxi, and those who are dancing in the snow below are mostly some beauties who are not very favored, those women, only wearing a thin layer of veil, dancing are fine, at least moving, maybe not too cold, but they are playing their skills on the side, playing the piano and playing the flute, standing inside, they are also very little dressed, Xia Xiaoxiao shivered when he looked at it.
Xia Xiaoxiao deliberately walked around from behind, the flowers extended, and she couldn't be seen very much.
The pavilion is surrounded by a square pavilion, there are several big stoves on the four corners, the temperature outside the pavilion is naturally much warmer, and it doesn't feel cold if you wear less, Xia Yingxi and Shu Changhua are the two concubines who are most favored by him in the palace and sit next to him, one left and one right, Shu Changhua Yingying smiled, peeled a sour orange for him and handed it to his mouth, Beigong Yu held his cheek leisurely with one hand, the more he looked at the dance below, the more boring it became, he didn't care about the concubines who were sitting in the pavilion in the imperial garden and enjoying the dance and music, the voice was not big or small, "Where did you go?" ”
Xia Xiaoxiao wanted to quietly return to a corner, and the figure next to her was immediately swept by everyone's eyes, and the singing and dancing stopped suddenly, she had to go back to his side and stand respectfully, lowered her eyes and said lightly, "Out of Gong." ”
Many people in the pavilion couldn't help but laugh out loud, and some of them immediately turned red, but Shu Changhua stared at her with a pair of eyes and said with a smile, "I can really say it." ”
Beigong Yu also frowned, turned his head to stare at her, Xia Xiaoxiao looked indifferent, he couldn't see it at all, he was extremely thick-skinned.
Xia Xiaoxiao is not his master who loves to please Beigong Yu, he has to pay attention to his image in front of Beigong Yu all the time, and he also took off his clothes for him to watch in such a cold day, naturally he doesn't feel embarrassed, people have three urgencies, and they can't make themselves seem like they don't need to go to the toilet.
She heard Beigong Yu snort coldly, and then turned her head to look at the dancing women below, as if the previous dance made people sleepy, and said unhappily, "Change a few." ”
The few below, most of them are not powerful in the family, or ordinary women, and their appearance is not as good as the few noble concubines and concubines on Beigong Yu's side, and they heard Beigong Yu's words all of them gloomy, they heard that the emperor had fun today, and specially set up a banquet in this imperial garden, and when they arrived, they heard that they were going to dance, so they all volunteered to go up, thinking that they had a chance, but looking at the expression on Beigong Yu's face at this time, I am afraid that this opportunity will slip again.
When the person went down, he vaguely didn't know who sneezed, and the displeasure on Beigong Yu's face became even stronger, and he pointed at Xia Xiaoxiao, "Go up, give me a dance." ”
"Back to the emperor, the slave will not."
She still replied crisply.
Sure enough, Shu Changhua laughed low again, "If the emperor asks you to go, you will go, what are you talking about?" ”
Xia Yingxi's face was unnatural, so she took advantage of this to make a round, "Your Majesty, my sister has not been good at singing and dancing since she was a child, so it is better for the concubine to dance for the emperor." ”
Beigong Yu stared at Xia Xiaoxiao without speaking, Xia Yingxi took off her heavy coat, walked down the pavilion, and when she reached the center, the strings started, her posture was graceful, and she began to dance lightly with the music.
I have to say that Xia Yingxi in addition to a good face, a good body, but also a good dance, today she wore a silk pipa top and a plain velvet embroidered skirt, the skirt is tattooed with pleated water lilies, in the snow below the light dance and spin, the feet are like blooming snow lotus, looking back with a smile is provocative, Xia Xiaoxiao can see it, Beigong Yu also saw a little fascination in his eyes, the tense face eased a little, turned his head and whispered to her, "Good student learn a little." ”
Xia Xiaoxiao is really as she said, the woman's lack of talent is the thorough implementation of virtue, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing and dancing embroidery, except for painting, she knows nothing, and she has no heart to learn these things that please men, she stood beside him, carelessly, and said in a low voice, "If the emperor can find a master for the slave to practice martial arts, the slave and the maid will definitely be able to learn well." ”
Dance, martial arts, all one sound, the necessary dance skills of these women in the palace are all necessary, not for Xia Xiaoxiao, martial arts is what she should spend her time learning.
"Who taught you to think about martial arts all day long?"
Beigong Yu's hand reached over and pinched her waist fiercely, some of Beigong Yu's concubines were on the side, the pain was so painful that Xia Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and didn't dare to make a sound, and slapped him unceremoniously on the hand, Beigong Yu withdrew his hand quickly, Xia Xiaoxiao fell into vain, she hated it so much, "Beigong Yu, can't your claws stop for a while?" ”
"I can't."
His hand reached out again, grasping her hand, he should have been angry, but it was a little funny, and only Xia Xiaoxiao dared to say that his hand was a claw.
"Why is it so cold?"
Xia Xiaoxiao was infected with the wind cold, his hands were cold, he held it in his hand and whispered.
Xia Yingxi's dance was amazing, the eyes of those people on his side were all on Xia Yingxi's body, no one looked here, but Xia Xiaoxiao still felt uncomfortable, she pulled her hand out hard, "It's none of your business to be cold." ”
It was originally rare, Beigong Yu Haosheng said a few words to her, but at this time, he was beaten back to his original form by Xia Xiaoxiao's words, glared at her coldly, turned his head to stare at Xia Yingxi dancing in the snow, and said angrily, "Pingshun, wait outside the pavilion!" ”
Pingshun, who had been waiting on the side, heard this, and his little face didn't dare to pull it down, and he pulled Xia Xiaoxiao and walked out of the pavilion, Xia Xiaoxiao made Beigong Yu unhappy, and he had to be sad to follow him!
Xia Xiaoxiao was very happy, but there was no stove outside the pavilion, and after standing for a while, the soles of her feet felt cold, and her feet kept stomping, "Father-in-law Pingshun, aren't you cold?" ”
She looked at Pingshun on the side, only the face with a little immaturity was flushed, her body was motionless, and she couldn't see the cold appearance at all, she glanced at her smoothly and lightly, and said without a good air, "Are you a bad body when you are a sprinkler?" ”
Cold, he is naturally cold, but how dare he be as angry and stomping as Xia Xiaoxiao is so obvious?
"Father-in-law, you also have a bad fate, you have to put up the master of Beigong Yu, and punish people indiscriminately," Xia Xiaoxiao deeply sympathized with Pingshun, and smiled without conscience, "But it's okay, and you accompanied me in this cold wind to freeze, and blocked me from some wind." ”
Xia Xiaoxiao sneezed, pulled Pingshun's sleeve and wiped it under his nose, Pingshun didn't react to what she was going to do at first, and when he knew what she was going to do, the disgusting snot had already been left on his sleeve, and Pingshun was trembling with anger, "You! You slave! ”
As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Beigong Yu staring at him with a pair of eyes, he chuckled in his heart, and found that Xia Xiaoxiao's hand was grasping his sleeve, the two were close to each other, and they looked intimate, so he quickly pulled the sleeve out of Xia Xiaoxiao's hand, stood upright, and didn't care about Xia Xiaoxiao's anger, and the disgusting snot on the sleeve, poked her and reminded, "Hurry up and stand up for the Sprinkle family, the emperor is watching us!" ”
Xia Xiaoxiao rubbed her uncomfortable nose, glanced at Beigong Yu, and found that Beigong Yu's eyes had been staring at Xia Yingxi's body, and turned his head to look at Pingshun beside him, "Pingshun father-in-law, you are only two years older than me, and you are not old yet, why are you dazzled?" ”
She laughed, and her hand deliberately shook twice in front of Pingshun's eyes, "I thought I was afraid of Beigong Yu because I was afraid of being confused, but it turns out that you are afraid of being confused." ”
"What are you confused or not, you are confused! If the emperor is good to you and says something that cares about you, you will accept it, what do you say? Obviously, you have to make him unhappy, do it with him, do you see that it is not you who suffers in the end? Tell me who's confused? ”
Pingshun was angry now, and whispered Xia Xiaoxiao, he had never seen such a stupid person as Xia Xiaoxiao, she used to like Beigong Yu, but she didn't say it in her heart, now Beigong Yu is a little better to her, she is looking for things that don't go well with that person everywhere, thinking about what to do outside the palace all day long? Can that man be worthy of the holy world today?
"Yes, yes, slave and slave are confused."
Xia Xiaoxiao responded in a low voice, Pingshun was implicated by herself to vent her sin, she was indeed a little sorry for him, she didn't dare to joke with Pingshun anymore, she stood quietly beside him, and looked at the pavilion.
After Xia Yingxi's dance was finished, there were some beads of sweat on her forehead, and her appearance looked even more charming, in the pavilion, Beigong Yu and Shu Changhua chatted happily, Xia Yingxi went back, Beigong Yu smiled and boasted, Xia Yingxi couldn't see Xia Xiaoxiao freezing in the snow, so she opened her mouth, "Your Majesty, it's cold outside the pavilion, let the Pingshun father-in-law come in and wait." ”
"A slave is a slave, how can there be a reason to share the eaves with the master?"
Beigong Yu said lukewarmly, refuted Xia Yingxi's request, looked at Xia Xiaoxiao outside the pavilion, and sneered, "According to me, they are happier outside the pavilion." ”
When Xia Xiaoxiao heard this, she began to abuse her heart again, but it was Xia Yingxi who made her like this girl more and more, and it was really her sister, although she was not very good to her before, but now she still thinks about herself.
"Your Majesty, don't be unhappy for some minions," Ye Qiuyu stepped forward and poured a cup of warm grape aging for Beigong Yu, and glanced at Xia Yingxi from the corner of his eye and said softly, "Speaking of which, the dance of Concubine Xi's sister is the first time for us to see it, and now I know why my sister is so loved by the emperor." ”
"Hehe, you clever ghosts, boasting about others on your face, who doesn't have your own specialty? This wine of Aifei is also very suitable for my taste. ”
Beigong Yu drank the wine, and the mellow taste of the wine spread in his mouth, and said with a low smile, Ye Qiuyu's face was glowing, and he happily poured him another glass, "This wine is called Guirenxiang, the grapes are slightly green at the bottom, and there is a dark purple and red additional color, it is an excellent variety for brewing this wine, and it warms the stomach and body in winter, if the emperor likes it, the concubines will brew more and send it to the emperor on another day." ”
"The concubine has a heart."
Beigong Yu chuckled back, and the Shu Chang painting on the side was vinegar, "Your Majesty, the concubines of Gai Ming'er will also go to learn this wine-making, and I will send it to you." ”
"I don't dare to drink what you've brewed."
Beigong Yu laughed, Shu Changhua immediately sneered in his arms, the smile on Ye Qiuyu's face was a little unbearable, he took back the wine jug stupidly, and looked in the direction of Xia Xiaoxiao from the corner of his eyes.
In the pavilion, it was so lively, the cold wind outside blew one after another, Beigong Yu seemed to have forgotten that Xia Xiaoxiao was still standing outside, until the sky was getting dark, and after dinner in the pavilion, he ordered to return to Lingyun Palace.
The winter days are very short, and the Ming Palace lamp is lit in the pavilion, which illuminates the entire pavilion nearby, and the light is reflected on the snow, as if the snow surface is emitting a slight red light, which is very beautiful, they are enjoying a good meal in the pavilion, and Xia Xiaoxiao is looking at it outside.
"Ahh
Another sneeze, she fished her hand to the side, but she didn't catch it, turned her head, and found that Pingshun had separated her for a long distance at some point, "Father-in-law, why are you so far away from me?" ”
"With your own sleeve! How come a girl's family didn't even bring a handkerchief on her! ”
Pingshun is very disgusting, he has always cherished the palace dress on his body that symbolizes the chief eunuch, usually there is a small mark on his body, he has to shoot it clean, and it was so cheap that Xia Xiaoxiao took it to wipe his nose!
Xia Xiaoxiao stared at him angrily, "Who said I don't have a handkerchief!" ”
As she spoke, she took out one from her arms and deliberately threw the handkerchief away in front of Pingshun, who was too lazy to pay attention to her, and still had no intention of leaning over.
"It's really close to Zhu and red and black to ink, and I've been following Beigong Yu for a long time and I can learn his stinginess."
Xia Xiaoxiao muttered, her eyes fell on the handkerchief in her hand, moon-white, with a magnolia finely embroidered on it, and in these lights around her, the beautiful flowers suddenly became enchanting, which was once stopped for her.
She has been lost in the twilight pavilion to forget, once had a temper with Luozhi, she returned the only Mulan hairpin he gave her to him, I thought she had nothing to miss, but fortunately she forgot, some time ago I went back to the twilight pavilion to find out, and did not return the last handkerchief to him.
Xia Xiaoxiao just stared at it for a moment, then folded it up and took it into his arms, and put his hand on his chest as if he was protecting some peerless treasure. The sound of the cold wind hula sounded in her ears, when she was still the crown princess, although the days were not so bitter, she always felt that people were cold and cold, and now, although she was called by Beigong Yu all day long, she would often blow the cold wind in this cold winter, people were cold, and that heart was warmer than ever.
Xia Xiaoxiao found that no matter when people are, they always have to have a thought, and now it is the thought in her heart, the hero in her mind, good-looking, high martial arts, gentle to her, except that face looks the same as Beigong Yu, everything else is an advantage, he is like the stove that lives in her heart, as long as it is lit, the heart is warm, and the body is not cold anywhere.
When she goes back tonight, she will have to go to the news that Beigong Yu has stopped!
Xia Xiaoxiao thought like this, laughed stupidly, and came back to his senses, Beigong Yu had dispersed everyone, Ye Qiuyu was scattered in the last one, his eyes looked at her, after the people left, the pavilion was empty, Beigong Yu wanted to put back to Lingyun Palace, and when he saw that he was coming to his side, Xia Xiaoxiao hurriedly put away his laughter.
Beigong Yu couldn't see her laughing, and he couldn't see her happy.
Sure enough, Beigong Yu's face was not very good-looking in the red light when he walked over, and her stupid smile did fall in his eyes, including this afternoon, her eyes did not sweep into the pavilion for a moment.
Pingshun stepped forward, took the black fluff cloak and put it on him, and the bright yellow of the dress was hidden under the black, and he looked calm at night.
"Why don't you go back to the palace with you?"
Beigong Yu glanced at her hurriedly, walked past her side on the way back to Lingyun Palace, smoothly urging again and again, he was not like Xia Xiaoxiao who stood and stomped his feet all afternoon, he stood honestly as soon as he stood up, his frozen feet had already been a little disobedient, and he was a little lame when he walked.
In fact, Xia Xiaoxiao is not much better, not to mention that he was already suffering from wind and cold, and followed behind Beigong Yu, no more, no less, and some distance, his palace maids, a few people in front of the lamp, a few people in the back of the lamp, in an orderly manner, no matter whether Beigong Yu's pace was fast or slow, always surrounded Beigong Yu in the middle at the same distance.
Xia Xiaoxiao deliberately leaned to the side, getting closer to a palace maid carrying a palace lamp, leaning on the lamp port on the palace lamp, her hand was very cold, anyway, this thing was also on fire.
She disturbed the pace of the palace maid, the palace maid glared at her unhappily, and did not dare to make a sound, squeezed her aside slightly, Xia Xiaoxiao ran to the other palace maid, three and two, several people holding the lamp behind Beigong Yu were displeased, the pace could not be messy, and they couldn't say it, one by one they could only see Xia Xiaoxiao running to his side and leaning against her, finally, Beigong Yu listened to the sound from Suosuo behind him, and couldn't help but stop, Turning his head, he just saw Xia Xiaoxiao shrugging his shoulders and walking beside the last maid of the lantern palace, with a slight displeasure in his tone: "Is it so cold?" ”
As soon as he stopped, those palace maids also stopped, and there were three or four people behind him from the first palm lamp to the last palm lamp, he stared at her, Xia Xiaoxiao stupidly withdrew his hand behind him, and said angrily, "You can stand in the cold wind for three or four hours to try whether it is cold or not." ”
Beigong Yu was blocked by her, turned his head and walked forward angrily, everyone followed, and within two steps, he stopped again and said angrily, "Lead on your feet?" Do I have to find two more lead chains to put on you? ”
He thought she was walking slowly, so he waved at her again and again to urge her to go faster, and she was a little reluctant to cover the lantern mouth with two more fires, and then she lifted her heel and came up.
She stepped forward and followed Pingshun's side, Beigong Yu stared at her, still had no intention of continuing to walk, the dust in Pingshun's hand poked her waist, she took two steps forward, and the two hands were clasped in front of her to keep each other warm, Beigong Yu grabbed her hand in the stunned eyes of so many people, pulled her to her side, and then continued to walk forward.
"What the hell do you do with those hands in a day? Like an ice cube? ”
He turned his head and twisted his eyebrows to look at her, the coldness coming from Xia Xiaoxiao's hand was beyond his imagination, and when he lowered his eyes, it was as red as a braised chicken claw.
