Chapter Fifty-Four: The Saugers Refused to Surrender
"According to the rules of the Great Prayer Kingdom, the new daughter-in-law has to pass the mother's pass. Although I am not your biological mother, I have the same position as the former queen, and this errand has to fall on me. ”
Mrs. Yu said these words very calmly, as if she was talking about something that had no suspense, and there was a bit of unquestionable and categorical taste between the lines. Ruoxi peeked from the side, and what she saw was Wei Sa's still lazy smile and deep dark gaze.
The palm of his hand was still holding Xianyue's arm, which seemed too intimate, and there seemed to be a hard thing on his arm that made Ruoxi's eyes hurt, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to rub it, and his fingers moved a little, and then he found that his fingers were also tightly wrapped in incense because of the cut, and he couldn't move.
Madame Yu glanced at the two people who were busy on the ground, and asked in her characteristic cold voice, "How is it?" Princess? Ready to get started? ”
Xianyue's arm in the crook of Wei Sa's arm trembled obviously, and her pair of eyes like a fawn looked at the only man she could rely on, and the man she would entrust for the rest of her life, as if asking for help. Sure enough, His Royal Highness Wei Sa, who knew a woman's heart best, changed the arm on her arm to her waist, and slightly forced her body to lean towards him involuntarily.
"Ruoxi said they were ready." Wei Furong interjected on the side, just to ease the current stalemate. Madam Jade nodded, her fingers stroking the jade wrench on her thumb, "Since you're ready, why don't you present it?" Laifu, gather all the people of the Qingyin Hall here. ”
Rifle replied and ran out as fast as he could. The pressure in this room was so overwhelming that it was overwhelming.
"If it's so small, serve the refreshments." Ruoxi put away the hand that was held in the palm of Ning Xiang's palm, didn't look at Wei Sa again, and stepped directly past him and Xianyue, even if he stepped on those porcelain pieces under his feet, he didn't notice it. Ning Xiang looked at the blood that gradually oozed from under her feet, and the footprints were red and imprinted on the ground one by one, so she was not shocked! also ran out with her.
After a while, the servants of the Qingyin Hall were all gathered, standing in the courtyard in the dark, not knowing what the masters were thinking. Looking at Ruoxi and Ning Xiang, who came to the temple on duty today, they distributed the things in the water tank to everyone one after another.
When it was handed to each of them, they were surprised to find that the good smell that had just filled the yard was wafting from here, and in such a cold winter, it was really a happy thing to hold a cup of warm walnut tea with ginger candy! This is the luxury of these people.
The people present did not hear the master's orders, and they all held hot tea and drooled three thousand, but no one dared to do it.
Mrs. Yu's expression was normal except for a little surprise in her eyes, but Wei Furong did not have such a high level of cultivation, her face was blue and white, as if it was a grass watered by heavy rain, and the green grass was blown away as if it was crooked.
"You...... What are you......" She looked at the hot tea in everyone's hands in disbelief, her expression no longer telling whether it was chagrin or disdain.
"As you can see, walnut tea." Ruoxi replied very simply, and her salty and nonchalant expression just angered Wei Furong. But seeing that Wei Furong, the county lord who was still good-looking just now, was like a different person in an instant, his eyes were full of resentment and malice, like two poisonous stingers inserted into Ruoxi's body.
However, Ruoxi turned a blind eye and continued to share the hot tea with everyone, until her last cup of tea was full, and the tea soup in the water tank was just clean, Ning Xiang smiled and clapped her hands, and tasted the tea soup that was distributed to her hands, "Sister Ruoxi, you can taste it, it's so sweet and fragrant." ”
Ruoxi smiled, she naturally knew that this tea was sweet, but as for what Ning Xiang said was so sweet, she felt that this was Ning Xiang deliberately angry with Hibiscus, so big and small. Walnut kernels boil such a big pot of water, what else can it taste?
However, it's okay, looking at Wei Furong Ziqing's face, she actually felt a little happy that the prank succeeded.
But...... When her gaze went to the side of them indifferently, she actually met Wei Sa's inquiring and approving eyes. How? Is it because of her relief from the moon and the beginning of appreciation for her? I felt awkward for a while, so I simply turned my head away and pretended not to see him. Wei Sa picked up the tea bowl in Xianyue's hand, tasted it, and said with a smile, "What a sweet tea soup." Madame Yu smiled and said approvingly, "The princess is really ingenious. Xianyue hurriedly said that she didn't dare to do it.
"If the lady is still satisfied, then please tell the other two ladies that the wedding of this king and the princess of the moon will be in the middle of spring next year." He paused, his young face showing the look of a king.
Wei Furong suddenly had a smile on her face, and she was very flattering, "Naturally, the princess of the Third Highness naturally can't be the kind of cook who soaks in the pickling vat twice for three days. ”
That afternoon, Ruoxi didn't know how she had returned to the Forgotten Soul Hall from the Qingyin Palace, and her head was buzzing with a sentence.
"The wedding of this king and the princess of the moon will be in the middle of spring next year."
If you have no heart, I will leave. Ruoxi read this sentence over and over again in her heart, but she couldn't completely let go. Lying on his own small bed, tossing and turning, in the middle of the night I heard the sound of someone's flute whimpering, and it was as clear as playing quietly in my ears, which made people feel infinitely cool and comfortable.
There seem to be thousands of words in the sound of the flute, and I want to say it all at once but can't. But Ruoxi also heard that this flute was not played by a woman, because the power of the golden iron horse contained in the flute was beyond the reach of a woman.
Ruoxi sighed, turned over again, faced inward, and gradually entered the dream with the sound of the flute.
In the dream, someone seemed to be looking at her with gentle eyes, and then something light and soft touched her lips little by little, gently, softly, like a spring drizzle.
Wei Sa sat quietly on the edge of the bed and stared at the woman on the bed with an uneasy frown, unable to tell what kind of feelings it was in his heart. When did he start caring about someone like that? How could he not understand the smile that cared about her, the wounds on her hands and feet, the strength and disregard that she had deliberately forged during the day?
It's just that...... He had what he had to do.
Wakakei ...... I'm sorry......
He got up and left a kiss between her brows, as if to kiss away all her troubles.
The next morning, Ruoxi stretched her waist and sat up, and saw Ning Xiang staring at her with wide eyes.
"Ning Xiang, don't look at me like this early in the morning, it's scary." Ruoxi unfolded the clothes beside him and began to put them on, "What? Are you going to help out in the Qingyin Hall today? Or go to Hongsao's to help cook? ”
"Sister Ruoxi." Ning Xiang suddenly called out to her. Ruoxi stopped the movements under her hand and looked at her, "Something?" ”
"Sister, why don't you leave the Hall of Forgotten Souls?"
Ruoxi was stunned, lifted the heel, and turned her head to look at her, "What the hell do you want to say?" "This girl is so strange, she is very serious in the morning.
Ning Xiang smiled bitterly, "I don't want to say anything, it's just that I'm just a little worried about seeing my sister frown every day." If you can think of it in your heart, you can be a dog and a mouse to meddle in my business. She stood up, patting the folds on her body.
"What can you think of, what can't you think of, what rumors have you heard?" Ruoxi also began to get serious.
"Sister, you have a relationship with the Third Highness, yes or no?" Ning Xiang plucked up her courage and said, "But he wants to marry another woman after all." You can't be the third princess. ”
Ruoxi smiled coldly, "I don't plan to be his princess either." Ning Xiang, he married his own princess and entered the door, why should I run away? The Hall of Forgotten Souls is my place of residence. She paused and looked at her with a sharp gaze, "What's wrong with you today?" ”
Ning Xiang grabbed her head and smiled, as if she had returned to her usual stupid girl, "It's me who wants to come to you to ask clearly, I can't look at you like this anymore and spoil yourself." You see that from yesterday to today, it seems that you have lost your soul. ”
Ruoxi looked away and nodded, "You're bothered." ”
"Sister." Ning Xiang saw that Ruoxi was a little displeased, and said anxiously, "Don't blame me for talking too much, you see that the people in the Soul Forgetting Hall know that the Third Highness is very good to you, and for a few nights, he left you in the dormitory." ”
"That's enough." Ruoxi only felt a headache for a while. Rubbing his temples, he stopped Ning Xiang's words, "I'm not feeling well if I ask for leave today." ”
Ning Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I'm here to tell you that today is the day when the palace maids are allowed to leave the palace." Let's go shopping. ”
Ruoxi rubbed her face and looked at the sun that had just risen for a while before saying, "I want to be alone for a while today." Ning Xiang patted her ass and walked away, and left Ruoxi with a brocade bag when she left, which was the calendar of the past few months sent by Hongsao.
Shameful and ruthless to be annoyed, it is Du Kanghao, who borrows wine to eliminate sorrow and sorrow, and wakes up and says goodbye. Ruoxi suddenly remembered these words that Bai Chuan often sang, pondered for a while, and thought about the brocade bag in his hand, passed the inspection of the palace gate, and came to the street.
There are many people bustling on the street, Ruoxi took a breath of air, although it was cold, but he felt that the air here was clean and comfortable. Like a bird trapped in a cage for a long time, Ruoxi whistled happily, attracting the attention of the people around her, she quickly stuck out her tongue, and then remembered that she had changed into a man's dress before going out.
Scold! This problem with changing men's clothes was left over from when I traveled with that person.
Ruoxi decided not to think about that man for a day today, so she simply bought some gadgets on the street and went directly to a liquor store next to her.
At this time, there were gradually more people drinking in the wine shop, Ruoxi walked in alone, picked up the most inconspicuous position and sat down, ordered two pots of pear blossom white, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of sauced beef, and drank it alone.
The more she didn't want to think about it, the more she hit her head, and the bottle had been emptied, and there was a ninth pot of wine on the table, but her eyes were bright, and she was not drunk at all.
She was shaking the bottle in her hand, and when she was scolding why it was empty again, a slender palm reached out to her, and in her hand was a jar of wine with a mud seal.
Ruoxi raised her nose and sniffed, didn't look up at the person at all, and directly took the wine and hugged it in her arms, "Is the daughter of twenty years red?" Shopkeeper, why don't you come in the morning when you have such a good wine? ”
