Chapter 20: Tokens of Love
At this time, Qi Xuanyu, who had moved to the big room next to Ma Huanting, was stuffing a delicate small box into Ma Huanting's hand with a smile on her face: "Sister, this is my mother's favorite bracelet when she was alive, and my mother confessed when she was dying, this bracelet is for my wife." ”
Qi Xuanyu's face was full of sincerity: "Xuanyu originally planned to give it to my sister when she got married, but when she saw the palace people packing her luggage, Xuanyu thought, it is a matter of time before we get married." It's just that because of the etiquette system, our words and deeds have to be noticed by everyone, and Xuanyu doesn't dare to accompany her sister day and night. It's better to send this token to my sister first. In this way, the bracelet can also replace Xuanyu to accompany her sister day and night. ”
Heart-pounding confession, affectionate dating, meaningful love tokens, just two days, before she envied her sisters all the things they went through, she experienced. What's more, her lover is still so radiant.
The point is to listen to Qi Xuanyu's meaning, and he also has the same mind as her, and he can't wait to be with her all the time. Even if they can't see each other at night, he will send her a bracelet to accompany her.
Ma Wanting opened the box with joy, and saw a pair of purple and gold bracelets in the box, and the style looked quite old.
"Sister!" Qi Xuanyu hurriedly said: "My mother was just a girl from a small family before entering the palace, and this bracelet is still the only dowry given to her by my maternal grandfather. The style is a little old, and the condition is not so good, but no precious jewel can compare to this for my mother and me. ”
There are many valuable jewelry, but she has such a meaningful bracelet for the first time.
Qi Xuanyu saw that Ma Huanting was silent, and asked tentatively, "Is it okay for Xuanyu to bring it for my sister?" ”
"Good!" Ma Wanting didn't care about being reserved and blurted out: "Xuanyu, don't worry, but we can return to the imperial city in ten days." ”
"Yes!" Qi Xuanyu carefully brought a purple gold bracelet for Ma Huanting: "We will soon be husband and wife." ”
At this time, the palace man brought the decoction and whispered: "Your Highness should take the medicine, it's not good if it's cold." ”
Ma Huanting realized that Qi Xuanyu was still sick, and hurriedly said, "Xuanyu, take the medicine quickly." Is this medicine bitter? Ma Wanting said and took the medicine bowl on the plate held by the palace people, carefully scooped a spoonful and put it to her mouth and blew it, touched it with her lips, and then licked her lips with the tip of her tongue, and a bitter taste that rushed to her head made Ma Wanting frown: "Why is it so bitter....."
Qi Xuanyu took the medicine bowl with a smile, blew it on the side of his mouth, raised his neck and drank a bowl of medicine, and then took the honey water handed by the palace man and drank it before smiling at Ma Huanting: "Good medicine is bitter, Xuanyu has been with this medicine since birth, this is not the most bitter." ”
"It's more bitter than Coptis chinensis!" The most bitter medicine Ma Huanting has ever tasted is Coptis chinensis: "How did you drink it?" Isn't there a medicine that isn't bitter? Speaking of this, Ma Wanting hurriedly said: "Xuanyu, you endure Ming, I will let Dongfang Qiyang give you a pair of medicine that is not bitter." ”
"Medicine that isn't bitter is useless!" Qi Xuanyu smiled: "Sister, don't bother, don't you think I'm doing well today?" After drinking the medicine and taking a sip of honey water, isn't it bitter first and then sweet. ”
"Your Highness!" The palace people on the side cried and said, "You ......"
"Go down!" Qi Xuanyu hurriedly said: "Hugh more!" ”
"Your Highness!" The palace man knelt on the ground and cried: "You can't do this! The mother in the spirit of heaven will blame the minions! ”
"What's wrong?" Seeing that the palace people had something to say, Ma Wanting hurriedly asked, "Don't be afraid, you tell this princess, what's wrong?" ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess, please persuade our Highness......" The palace people glanced at Qi Xuanyu again with tears in their eyes before saying: "Although this medicine can cure His Highness's cough and asthma, it will reduce his life!" In the past, I couldn't bear the cough every time, and I could only take it once a year or even two years, but His Highness has taken it three times since last night......"
"Shut up!" Qi Xuanyu suddenly scolded: "This king said, don't talk more!" Go outside to find Duke Mu to get the punishment. ”
"Xuanyu!" Ma Wanting hurriedly persuaded: "He is also for your good, so why punish him?" While speaking, Ma Huanting said to the palace and said: "Listen to this princess, go down, don't be punished, you are dedicated to the Lord, you should be rewarded." ”
"Sister!" Qi Xuanyu hurriedly said: "You will spoil them like this!" Qi Xuanyu said and said with a cold face to the palace people: "Not yet!" ”
After the palace people left, Ma Huanting looked at Qi Xuanyu and said, "What kind of medicine is Xuanyu, how can it reduce life?" ”
"Don't listen to their nonsense!" Qi Xuanyu hurriedly picked up the teacup and took a big sip.
"Xuanyu!" Ma Huanting grabbed his wrist: "Do you still want to hide it from me?" Or treat me as an outsider and don't want to tell the truth! ”
"Sister!" Qi Xuanyu hurriedly held Ma Huanting's wrist with his backhand: "Xuanyu really can't help it!" If you want to blame, you can only blame Xuanyu's body for not being angry. I saw how my sister could make my sister work for my illness! Being able to meet and get acquainted with her sister is something that Xuanyu never dreamed of. Xuanyu just thought that she could stand next to her sister like a real man, and she would be satisfied even if it was a day! ”
Hearing this, Ma Huanting's heart chuckled!
But no, Qi Xuanyu coughed up blood repeatedly before, and yesterday he coughed so badly that he fainted, but today he is not sick at all. She was also secretly glad that Qi Xuanyu's illness had recovered? Unexpectedly, he would get along with himself in such a ruthless and helpless way.
Seeing that Ma Huanting's face had changed most of the time, Qi Xuanyu hurriedly said, "Sister misunderstood!" Xuanyu won't die so soon! The previous doctor showed me that as long as it is properly maintained, it is not a problem to live to the age of twenty-five. We'll have children then, and they can take care of my sister for me......"
As Qi Xuanyu spoke, tears rolled down: "Sister, if you think Xuanyu's life is short....."
"You won't!" Ma Wanting shook her head again and again: "Since I brought your bracelet, I won't let you die!" I'm going to grow old with you! Ma Wanting said and stood up and left.
She just tasted the beauty of love, how could she watch Qi Xuanyu die in a short life!
The beauty she wants is long-lasting, and it must not be short-lived! There must be a way!
Seeing that the eldest princess was walking away, Qi Xuanyu coughed lightly: "Grandpa Mu can come out!" ”
Father-in-law Mu slowly walked out of the shadows, and said with a smile on his face: "Who are you?" Don't tell my father-in-law that you are both women, so you understand her so well! In just two days, you have made the eldest princess of Chu State, who is all-round in civil and military affairs, die for you, and it is by no means something that Qian Yue, who is only sixteen years old and has never seen the world, can do! said, what are your intentions in pretending to be Qian Yue? ”
