Chapter 692: A Searing Wait
"Princess, what have you been standing here for? Are you waiting for someone? The maid standing next to her saw her princess standing at the door and looked uneasy, looking out from time to time, as if she hadn't seen anyone, and her face couldn't help but feel a little lost, and some asked worriedly: "Princess, if you are waiting for someone, let's go in and wait, it's raining so heavily, what should I do if I catch a cold?" β
I don't know why early this morning, the sky was gloomy, and it didn't take long for it to start pouring rain, and it was all sincere, and it was time to get the raincoat outside, and the raincoat outside was non-stop, and the fine and dense raindrops were on the ground, and soon the road surface was wet.
A gust of wind blew, mixed with the coolness and the muddy smell of the land, and it only felt cold all over.
Zhu Mingxi shook his head, and just said: "It's okay, it's not cold, I'll stand here for a while, if you're okay, go down first, I don't need you to wait." β
The maid saw her princess's stubborn appearance, and knew in her heart that her princess had always been like this, and she couldn't persuade her, so she shook her head helplessly, sighed, turned around and went back to the room, found a cloak and put it outside for Zhu Mingxi, carefully gave Zhu Mingxi, rolled up her sleeves, straightened her clothes and said: "The princess is blowing the wind outside, we are scary, how can we be embarrassed to hide in the house and steal by ourselves, I have already ordered to go over, and asked someone to cook ginger soup, Princess, go have a drink later, I'll stay with you here for a while. β
"The princess is waiting for someone's son, but now that it's raining so hard outside, people may not come, princess, don't wait!" The maids were really worried that if their princess was sick, they would be to blame, so they persuaded the princess to go back to the room.
"He'll come, I'll wait a little longer, wait a little longer, and if he doesn't come, I'll go back to my room obediently." Zhu Mingxi lowered his eyes slightly, bit his lip, and said with a somewhat stubborn look in his eyes: "I believe in him, he will definitely come over." β
"Alright then, the slave is here with the princess."
The maid saw that she couldn't persuade the princess to persuade her, so she sighed helplessly in her heart, so she could only stand beside her princess and wait with the princess.
Time passed bit by bit, almost half an hour had passed, but there was still no half a figure on the far road, the rain did slowly decrease, the slightest raindrops fell on the ground, Zhu Mingxi looked at those raindrops and couldn't help but shake his head, and he didn't know why he was a little lost in his heart.
Probably I'm too naΓ―ve, a few words from people are obviously to make themselves happy, and I also take it to heart, and he is also a son of a family like him, and the words of coaxing women are not handy, and it is understandable that he will not come out if he can't say it on such a rainy day!
Zhu Mingxi wanted to pull the corners of his mouth, and came out with a mocking smile, but he felt that his hands and feet were very cold, and he couldn't even make an expression, he turned his head a little lost, and when he turned around and wanted to go back to his room, he heard a voice calling his name behind him.
"Mingxi!"
As soon as Zhu Mingxi heard the voice, his originally dim eyes lit up suddenly, and when he suddenly turned around, he saw the man holding an umbrella alone and hurrying towards him. It's easy
It's coming, it's finally here.
Zhu Mingxi's heart was suddenly enveloped by a huge joy, seeing that the person walked in front of him, Zhong Qi seemed to be drenched in some rain, his body was a little wet, and he was a little embarrassed, but Zhu Mingxi still felt that the person in front of him was like a lamp, scorching and shining.
"Why are you here?" Although Zhu Mingxi was still moved in his heart, he still had to say a few words arrogantly on his mouth, not to mention that he had been waiting for him at the door for a long time.
Zhong Qi looked at the person in front of him, as if he had thought of something, stretched out his hand and gently probed Zhu Mingxi's cheek, felt the cold touch from his fingers, frowned with some guilt and said: "I'm sorry, I'm late today, have you been waiting at the door for a long time to see that your cheeks are cold and cold, go in quickly, don't be blown by the wind again, if it's really sick, I'll be distressed." β
"There are still people around, why are you saying these things?" Zhu Mingxi was still a little pale, but he suddenly became a blush, glanced at the maid beside him, and said half coquettishly.
First of all, the maid next to her saw her princess's appearance, and what else she didn't understand, she said with a smile: "Princess, you first invite this son to the hall to talk about it, and the slave maid will ask someone to bring tea up, so that the two of them can talk about the old days." β
When the maid had said this, she retreated with great vigour, and gave up the place to these two men.
Zhu Mingxi saw that Zhong Qi's body was a little wet, and some places were drenched by the rain, and he was a little anxious in his heart, so he couldn't take care of this and took his hand and walked into the room, walking with his head bored all the way, but he didn't see the person behind him, the doting eyes that looked at him and the bright smile on the corner of his mouth.
Walking to the door of his own room, Zhu Mingxi felt that he had reacted after realizing it, and couldn't help but be effective, how did he bring people to his own boudoir, and his own room was logically not allowed to let a foreign man in.
But people have already been bumped into here, and if they turn around again, wouldn't it be very bad, and in fact, there is no one else here except for themselves and a kind of henchmen they brought, so this matter should not be spread out!
Zhu Mingxi thought a little luckily in his heart, fortunately, his room was relatively large, and there was a screen outside separating it from the sleeping place, and he wouldn't see his bed after he went in, so he drank tea or something on the table outside, which was actually quite good.
Zhu Mingxi no longer got entangled in thinking about illness like this, pushed open the door and pulled people in, and then instructed the maid standing outside to ask them to take a towel, wiped the wetness on Zhong Qi's body, and wiped his hair.
"I don't know if I come out with more people who are wet, why don't I know how to call a carriage when I run out alone, what if I get cold?" Zhu Mingxi said with a little worry in his eyes while wiping the water stains on his body.
