119 Falling is a dream
Beigong Pheasant Li put Wei Yang down, swept everyone at a glance, and asked with a bit of anger in his eyes, "What are you doing!" β
"Leave the king!" Everyone immediately knelt down one after another, only Wei Yang did not kneel, and looked at him directly, without the slightest color, "The princesses were invited by the little girl to come over, and I was not injured, why should the king be angry with them?" β
"The palace is not a place for you to play around with Miss Wei, since the emperor let the girl stay in the palace for a few days, then please ask the girl not to be too presumptuous, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to Lord Wei."
Beigong Pheasant glanced at her and said coldly.
Xia Xiaoxiao quietly watched the word-by-word conversation between Beigong Pheasant Li and Wei Yang on the wall, her little hands clenched, and she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
"You are the prince, so naturally whatever you say is what you say, but this matter is just a small game between the little girl and the princess, and the mother didn't say anything, so why should the prince scare me with those annoying rules?" Not to be outdone, Wei Yang pointed to Xia Xiaoxiao, who was still sitting on the red wall.
Beigong Pheasant turned his gaze to Xia Xiaoxiao, and when he saw Xia Xiaoxiao straddled the wall, he was stunned for a moment, and then frowned, as a woman, how could she sit on it in such a posture without elegance!
"Come down." He walked under the red wall where she was sitting, stretched out one hand in front of her, looked away in embarrassment, did not look at the bottom of her skirt, his tone was still a little annoyed, but also a little softer.
Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the hand he stretched out towards her, not only did not appreciate it, but deliberately kicked his hand away with his toes, Beigong Pheasant was separated from his face, and it fell on the back of his hand fiercely, the back of his white jade hand suddenly turned red, his eyebrows tightened, he raised his eyes to look at Xia Xiaoxiao, but saw that she climbed onto the trunk of the tree she stepped on before, and slowly climbed down.
"Miss Wei is right, it's just a game, so why should the prince take it too seriously."
Xia Xiaoxiao walked up to him and let everyone get up, Xia Yingxi hurriedly ran over and asked her worriedly, "Sister, where is the injury?" β
Beigong Pheasant Li just looked at her and didn't say a word, Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes fell on the back of his hand that he was kicked by her just now, and he felt guilty that he seemed to have a heavier foot, and said embarrassedly, "Fang Cai Bengong was careless...... Didn't notice ......"
"It doesn't matter."
Beigong Pheasant Li put his hands behind his back, his face immediately returned to normal, and said coldly, "Since Niangniang said that it was just a game, this king naturally didn't say anything, but the high wall was dangerous after all, and if something happened, whether it was the princesses or Miss Wei, I am afraid they couldn't afford it." β
As soon as he heard this, Wei Yang immediately picked up the conversation, still unable to believe it, "I think the prince must not be worried about this, I thought that the mother was a daughter, but I didn't expect that this wall is quite good!" β
The corners of Xia Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched, I don't know if she was praising her or belittling her, patted the dust left on her sleeve and said casually, "That's natural, isn't Miss Wei's courage to climb over the wall still taught by this palace." β
As soon as these words came out, Beigong Pheasant Li and Wei Yang were stunned, and Xia Yingxi stared at her with a pair of beautiful eyes, "Sister, what do you mean by this?" β
"The first time Miss Wei climbed over the wall, wasn't it the first time she was in the backyard of the Wei Mansion?" Xia Xiaoxiao smiled, when she knew that Wei Yang was the daughter of Wei Puqian's mansion, she remembered this little girl who was as old as her. Their first meeting was in the backyard of the Wei Mansion.
At that time, Xia Xiaoxiao and Ji Xiaoer stole other people's sugar cakes, were chased and beaten everywhere, and fled all the way to the backyard of the Wei Mansion before there was no way to escape, at that time, knowing that it was the mansion of the old man Shangshu's house, but he was afraid of being caught, so he simply climbed over the wall of the Wei Mansion, the reason why Xia Xiaoxiao said that Wei Yang's courage to climb over the wall was taught by her, it was entirely because she happened to meet Wei Yang in the backyard at that time, she had never eaten sugar cakes as a young lady from the house, and wanted to rob Xia Xiaoxiao to eat, Xia Xiaoxiao bet that she would not climb over the wall as a young lady. Who knew that Wei Yang at that time actually turned over the wall with gritted teeth for the piece of sugar cake in Xia Xiaoxiao's hand......
As if this memory suddenly came back to his mind, Wei Yong's apricot eyes immediately stared at Xia Xiaoxiao's face in disbelief, and exclaimed, "That person is you!" β
"I didn't expect the princess to steal candy cakes from others when she was a child!" Wei Yang sighed incredulously.
Xia Xiaoxiao categorically didn't expect Wei Yang to say this, and suddenly her face was a little embarrassed, and then she saw a trace of arc from the corner of Beigong Pheasant's mouth inadvertently, that guy was obviously laughing at her!
Xia Xiaoxiao wrung his eyebrows and stared at him, Beigong Pheasant's hand clenched into a fist to cover the smile on his mouth, and when he raised his eyes again, his gaze inadvertently swept over Xia Xiaoxiao's white neck, and a faint purple mark loomed out from his hair, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.
Xia Xiaoxiao saw that Beigong Pheasant's eyes had been staring at his neck, first for a moment, and then remembered that he had tied up his hair when he climbed over the wall earlier!
She hurriedly lowered her hair, pretended to comb her hair to cover the bruise on her neck, and said a little unnaturally, "Since the prince has arrived, then Miss Wei probably doesn't need to be accompanied by this palace, Xi'er, go back to Chenxiao Palace." β
Wei Yang hid a glint in his eyes, and his attitude towards Xia Xiaoxiao was much better than before, "Thanks to Niangniang, the little girl feels that there is still some fun in the palace, and I congratulate Niangniang." β
Xia Xiaoxiao was stared at by Beigong Pheasant Li, and led Xia Yingxi to leave the Imperial Garden, but he didn't take two steps as if he remembered something, and then he fell back, and glanced at Beigong Pheasant, although he was a little embarrassed, but he was forced to remind him helplessly, "Today's matter is just a game, please leave the king...... What this palace means is that it is not very good to reach the ears of the prince, so don't say it. β
After saying that, he hurriedly left the imperial garden, Beigong Pheasant Li recalled Xia Xiaoxiao's panicked expression, coupled with the bruise on her neck, the hand behind her back couldn't help but tighten, and a pair of eyes looked in the direction of Chenxiao Palace.
The princesses couldn't stay any longer, so they said goodbye one after another, and only Beigong Pheasant Li and Wei Yang were left in the entire imperial garden.
"Today, I only invited Xia Yingxi to come over." Wei Yang and Beigong Pheasant Li looked at the direction where Xia Xiaoxiao and the others left, and Wei Yang estimated in his heart that it was the direction to Chenxiao Palace.
Wei Yang glanced at him, saw that Beigong Pheasant Li did not speak, and continued, "I heard before that there is a concubine in the Chenxiao Palace of His Royal Highness the Prince, with a charming appearance and a delicate personality, so I felt curious, His Royal Highness the Prince, like you, is not so easy to approach, what kind of woman can be favored by His Royal Highness the Prince, when I see it today, it is indeed a woman who is easy to make people's hearts, with a smile and a smile, and even the appearance of grievances, it is unbearable to blame, but, I don't like women like Xia Yingxi, but Xia Xiaoxiao, which makes people very comfortable, I really don't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes Xia Yingxi," she turned her head and asked him, with a little smile in her eyes, "Luozhi, do you men like women like Xia Yingxi?" β
"The people or things in Chenxiao Palace don't seem to have anything to do with Miss Wei." Beigong Pheasant turned his head to look at her at this time, his eyes were cold, and his tone was flat, but it had a hint of warning.
"How can it be okay, look at you, you have the same face and temperament as His Royal Highness the Prince, maybe even the type of person you like is similar, since you don't tell me what kind of woman you like, I will naturally use my way to understand." Wei Yang smiled softly and stared at him with his head tilted, as if he wanted to see something in Beigong Pheasant's eyes.
However, what was left for her in Beigong Pheasant's eyes was still the bland coldness without any ripples, and the tone was the indifference he had always had towards her, "Even if I understand, this king still has the same sentence to Miss Wei." β
"The emperor let me stay in the palace for a few days, if I hadn't fallen off the red wall today, would the prince plan to leave like that? How many days have you been ignoring me? Wei Yang glanced at the red wall that was a little high, if she really fell from it, with her body without kung fu, I am afraid she would have to suffer a lot of injuries, but she was right!
"Since Miss Wei knows it in her heart, she should also know that doing so can't change the king's mind." Beigong Pheasant Li glanced at the vermilion-like deep wall, recalling the appearance of Xia Xiaoxiao sitting on it, the little comfortable smile on her face was an expression that she could only see when she was outside the palace.
Beigong Pheasant turned around and wanted to leave, Wei Yan's voice came, "Beigong Pheasant Li." β
"Miss Wei, is there anything else?" He paused slightly, but did not turn around.
"I earned this opportunity for myself." Wei Yang walked in front of him, looked up at Beigong Pheasant's deep eyes, the first time she saw him, he was wearing a mask, she saw someone robbing him, with the intention of helping the poor and fighting grievances, she wanted to save him from the hands of that gangster, but she didn't want him to be a good martial artist, she didn't need her to interfere at all, she didn't know what he looked like at that time, but in the later unconsciously contact, she gradually fell in love with this man who was warm on the outside, but cold on the inside, she never thought that Luo Zhi would be the prince's brother.
However, once this heart is gone, it can never be regained.
"I, Wei Yong, once swore in front of my ancestors and ancestors that I would never enter the deep-walled palace in this life, and I would not enter the palace and the Houmen, and I would only ask for one person in my life."
Wei Yong's firm voice slowly echoed in the entire imperial garden, Beigong Pheasant Li was slightly shocked, he didn't expect Wei Yang to be such a proud woman, and for some reason Xia Xiaoxiao often said to him in his ears, I would rather not be the crown princess, I just hope that someone can accompany her to travel all over the country, and she will be a couple for the rest of her life.
"In that case, why did the girl bother looking for this king?" Beigong Pheasant Li sighed, and when she looked at Wei Yang again, she found that even the stubbornness in her eyes was somewhat similar to Xia Xiaoxiao.
"Yes, I followed you when you were gone, just to make you tempted, and now when you are Yue Huatang and left the king, I will also follow you, looking for you, just because you are the person I am looking for, if it is you, I am willing to break those oaths I have made!"
Wei Yang stared at him, his eyes full of determination.
"What is the oath?"
"If you burn yourself, you will not die well."
She said lightly, as long as it is the person she Wei Yang identifies, as long as she can fight for it, she will never give up!
Beigong Pheasant Li shook his head and said lightly, "Miss Wei's oath is too heavy, and this king can't afford it." β
"What the result will be, can you predict it now? Even if you suffer retribution, it should be borne by me, you just care about the present, accept me. β
As long as Beigong Pheasant is willing to give her a chance, she doesn't believe that he still can't accept her in the end!
"This king is not such a childlike person, Miss Wei doesn't have to waste time on this king anymore, if it is outside the court, the girl will definitely be able to find the person she likes."
Beigong Pheasant Li still looked like he couldn't move, and he bypassed Wei Yang again and wanted to leave, only to hear Wei Yang with confidence, and said slowly, "If yes, I'll help you find what you want?" β
Beigong Pheasant was stunned, turned to look at her, squinted slightly, and the expression on his face was more dangerous than the previous coldness.
"I know what your purpose is when you go back to the palace," Wei Yang raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes shimmered, and he said slowly, "Whether it's what you're looking for or the person you're looking for, if I help you find it, can you accept me?" β
Beigong Pheasant's thin lips were slightly pursed, and a pair of unwavering ink eyes finally rippled.
The pace of several people returning to Chenxiao Palace was slow, Xia Xiaoxiao lightly padded the chicken feather shuttlecock brought by Xia Yingxi in his hand, and touched his neck blocked by his hair with one hand, and he didn't know if he was stopped and looked at, he was in the imperial garden with Wei Yang at this time...... What are you talking about......
Xia Yingxi's eyes glanced over, and when she saw Xia Xiaoxiao's absent-minded appearance, she looked at Mao Jianzi, who was being played with by Xia Xiaoxiao, and said softly, "Sister, shouldn't you like the prince Li?" β
Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and then when she heard what Xia Yingxi said, she was suddenly startled, and her face couldn't help but be slightly hot, and she hurriedly looked around to see if there was anyone, for fear that others would hear it, "Yingxi, the king is His Royal Highness's royal brother, don't say this." β
After speaking, there was a trace of inexplicable emotions in my heart that began to flutter.
"My sister has always thought that my sister has always had only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in her heart." Xia Yingxi whispered, glancing at Xia Xiaoxiao's neck with a vague look.
Xia Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at her, frowned, Xia Yingxi lowered her head slightly in front of her, and the two strands of green silk were swept across her immature cheeks by the breeze, still looking a little afraid of her, but for some reason, there was always a feeling of disobedience in her heart.
Xia Xiaoxiao retracted his gaze, suppressed a trace of disobedience in his heart, and handed Mao Jianzi to the green warbler to look at the Chenxiao Palace not far away, his steps slowed down, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, and said softly, "Stop...... It's just a dream of the main palace. β
Her voice was thin and small, as if she was saying it to Xia Yingxi and to herself.
The person who accompanied her on the rivers and lakes could not be Beigong Yu, Beigong Yu was the crown prince and had been in the palace all his life, but that person could be a downfall...... However, Beigong Pheasant Li, every time she saw Beigong Pheasant's face, every time she saw Beigong Pheasant Li's eyes looking at her, she couldn't help but think about whether the person standing in front of her was Beigong Yu or Beigong Pheasant.
She sometimes even thinks that if the first person she saw was not Beigong Yu, but Beigong Pheasant, would the person she always liked be Beigong Pheasant, then would she not have so many entanglements and fears now?
ββββββ Dividing Lineββββββ
A few days later.
Xia Xiaoxiao heard Qingyue say that Wei Yang was out of the palace, and as for the matter of choosing a concubine, there was no follow-up, Beigong Pheasant never mentioned it, and the emperor never mentioned it again.
Xia Xiaoxiao was playing with meat buns to tease the buns, as soon as she heard the news, she was inexplicably in a better mood, and the brush that had not been touched for a long time also asked Qingyue to move the inkstone pen and ink to the courtyard, and paint under the good autumn light.
The autumn breeze is not stingy, and the hibiscus trees in the twilight pavilion have also fallen their leaves, and the golden leaves are quietly lying at the feet of Xia Xiaoxiao, stepping on it softly, and the wind blows over, and it rises in the courtyard, like many golden butterflies dancing in the air, Xia Xiaoxiao has always loved this kind of scenery, but in her small courtyard, it makes people look desolate, if it is outside the palace, it looks like a very beautiful picture.
"Qingyue, let's see how it is."
The tip of the pen fell, the painting was raised, and it was quickly dried by the autumn wind, Qingyue looked at it for a long time, and there was a bit of a picture in the painting that looked like the Dusk Pavilion, but it was not the scene of the Dusk Pavilion, "Niangniang, aren't you painting the Dusk Pavilion, this in the painting doesn't seem to be the Dusk Pavilion." β
"It's not the Dusk Pavilion, you take it into the palace and put it in the old place."
She handed the paintings to Qingyue, and all the paintings she had painted in the past three years were stored in a wooden box at the foot of the bed, waiting for some to sell to support her family after leaving the palace.
I don't know if Beigong Yu is angry about her running out of the palace, if she is angry, she can still beg him to give her the brand, as long as she can go out, it should be no problem to beg him well, right?
While thinking so, Xia Xiaoxiao spread out a piece of rice paper in his hand again, picked up the pen, and began to draw again.
Following the little memory in his mind, the outline of the pen tip in his hand did not stop, and the appearance of a person gradually appeared on the paper, and there were lotus lamps scattered under his feet around him, in the picture, the person stood on the bow of the boat, dressed in white, but unlike in the memory, the silver mask that should have been worn had been removed, revealing a fairy-like and demonic face.
After drawing the last lotus lamp under his feet, she quietly looked at the man in the painting, she had also painted a painting about the fall, but at that time he always had that silver mask in the painting, this time, it was the first time that Xia Xiaoxiao completely stored the fall into her picture.
She suddenly remembered the way Luo Zhi had stood at the bow of the boat and put on her coat, and there was a smile on her face that she hadn't even noticed.
"His Royal Highness the Prince."
Qingyue's voice came, Xia Xiaoxiao looked up, and sure enough, he saw Beigong Yu and Wuxi following behind him coming towards this side, and hurriedly pulled two pieces of unpainted white paper to cover the painting just now, and said loudly, "Why are you here again!" β
"Why, can't this Dusk Pavilion Palace come yet?"
Beigong Yuren had not arrived, but what she saw was a trace of panic flashing in her eyes, she came to the bookcase in three steps and two steps, glanced at her, and pulled out the painting drawn by Xia Xiaoxiao from under the white paper with one hand, and the corners of her mouth suddenly hooked up a sneer, and said in her ear, "Bengong is very curious, who is Xiao Xia'er painting." β
"Naturally......," he wanted to tell the truth, but when he caught a glimpse of the fox light emanating from Beigong Yu's eyes, he immediately changed his words with a smile, "Naturally, it's His Royal Highness the Prince." β
I still have to please him, in case he is still worried about her leaving the palace, wouldn't there be no hope at all if he makes her unhappy at this time?
When Beigong Yu heard her words, the smile in the corner of his eyes stretched out thickly, and he was very satisfied with her answer.
"Remember, in the future, you will have to draw this palace better."
Beigong Yu picked up the pen on the side, dipped it in ink, and traced a few more strokes on the person on the painting, Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the tip of his pen, and saw that the person in the painting was just because of Beigong Yu's slightly added brushstrokes, more distracting charm, and it became more beautiful.
"They all look the same, no matter how you draw them, they are all the same."
Xia Xiaoxiao muttered as if she hadn't heard her talk to herself, and took her hand and walked towards the outside of the Dusk Pavilion, "Let's go, this palace will take you out of the palace today." β
Xia Xiaoxiao didn't know where he was going to pull her up like this, but when she heard this, she was immediately happy, and she hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said excitedly, "Really, really?" Where's the palace? β
She was still thinking about how to open her mouth to Beigong Yu, the token had followed her since she entered the palace, she always went out whenever she wanted, and she had never been out of the palace gate for so long like this!
Wait a minute...... Thinking of this, she was stunned, and her hand pulling Beigong Yu's sleeve tightened, "You go too?" β
"Nature."
In two words, Beigong Yu showed her a smile like a thousand flowers blooming.
sighed in his heart, no matter what, it's good to be able to walk out of the palace, the scenery in the palace is just like that, just let her go out!
Beigong Yu took her, followed by Wuxi, and arrived in front of the palace gate, only to that station, the guards guarding the palace gate all saluted first, and then slowly opened the palace gate in front of him without saying a word.
Xia Xiaoxiao followed behind Beigong Yu and glared at him secretly, these people knew each other, Beigong Yu opened the door obediently without saying a word, and he had to bring a token to be interrogated by them.
"Your Highness, when are you going to give me back the original token?"
Xia Xiaoxiao trotted to his side, blinking and staring at him obediently with a pair of clear eyes.
Wuxi followed aside, couldn't help but turn his head to cover his lips and hold back a smile, this princess is really a master who can stammer, as soon as she sees the opportunity, she follows a pug, and her tail is wagging diligently.
Wu Xi actually compared her to a pug, Xia Xiaoxiao naturally didn't know, just wait for Beigong Yu to open his mouth and return the token to her.
"Why, do you want to slip away in the middle of the night like last time?" Beigong Yu glanced at her lightly, Xia Xiaoxiao was suddenly a little embarrassed, she knew that Beigong Yu would use that matter to block her, and said, "No, no, the concubine has already known that she is wrong, and she will never dare again, let's just treat it as if it didn't happen, can you give me back the brand?" β
