Chapter 31: Affection
Although Zhao Ruxue's face was a little mediocre, her pretty face was slightly red at this time, with a thin layer of fine sweat, and she looked a little charming.
Tuoba Chen stayed on Zhao Ruxue's face for a moment, and then turned his gaze to the direction of He Xi, He Xi had already left his seat, and was half-kneeling on the ground waiting for the will, looking at it from this angle, he could only see a little cinnabar in the center of his eyebrows, and his feather fan-like eyelashes hung down, blocking the eyes that were as bright as stars.
Tuoba Chen seemed to be able to think of some innocent and mischievous smiles in those eyes.
"The seventh brother likes this dancing posture, but I think this song is played very well, the concubine has worked hard, come here, reward again!" Tuoba Chen waved his hand and rewarded the two of them with brocade pearls and other treasures, Zhao Ruxue couldn't help but be overjoyed, this was the first reward she had given in the palace, and she hurriedly thanked her.
Because of a layer of fragrant sweat on his body, Tuoba Chen was extra kind and asked Zhao Ruxue to go down to change his clothes, and He Xi just wanted to retreat, but was stopped by Tuoba Chen: "You were injured a few days ago, come to me to see how the injury is?" ”
He Xi smiled lightly and walked towards Tuoba Chen, Lan Ruo tightly twisted the handkerchief under the table, originally wanting to test her, but she didn't expect to show her face in front of His Majesty. Where can you not hate?
He Xi walked by Tuoba Yue's case, and she didn't squint, but Xiao Nai was in a very good mood, she was still very willing to see He Xi being favored, as long as she stayed away from Brother Yue, no matter what He Xi did, it had nothing to do with her.
She knelt beside Tuoba Chen obediently, raised her eyes to look at Tuoba Chen, Lan Ruo smiled and said, "Your Majesty is really distressed that Xi agreed." ”
There was a faint vinegar in his tone, and Prime Minister Lan Cheng, who was sitting at the bottom of Tuoba Yue, couldn't help frowning when he heard this. Lang Sheng laughed: "Your Majesty's ability to wet the rain and dew is the blessing of my calendar." ”
Everyone also agreed, the hall was full of joy, and the singing and dancing started again, but Lan Ruo was in no mood to watch, just sitting there like a mud puppet, the corners of his lips were still a quiet smile like water, but his eyes were indeed full of coldness. Under the wide phoenix suit, the pure gold armor wrapped in purple gold silk was also pinched by her, but it was drowned in the sound of drums in this hall, and it was inaudible.
At this time, Tuoba Chen was gently lifting the veil on He Xi's face, only to see three blood marks on his fair face, although he had already rubbed the ointment, but it was still a little shocking to look at.
He Xi seemed to hide his face a little shyly, Tuoba Chen took He Xi's hand and said: "Your cheeks were red and swollen that day, I didn't have time to take a closer look, but I didn't know that the injury was so serious, let your maid go to the Tai Hospital to get some ointment later, don't leave a scar." ”
He Xi personally brought the veil back to his face, leaned over to thank him, and the figures of the two overlapped, looking a little ambiguous.
Xiao Nai has been observing He Xi, and when he saw this, he said to Tuoba Yue with some joy: "Brother Yue, there is really a way to find He Xi, I heard a few days ago that His Majesty also rewarded her, and today in front of so many people, so intimate, it seems that it will not be long before this harem is going to change the direction of the wind." ”
Tuoba Yue didn't make any sound, raised his head, and the clear wine went down his throat, which was originally just a sweet fruit wine, but at this time there was a trace of bitterness in his mouth. Xiao Nai didn't know why, but he also knew that Tuoba Yue was in a bad mood at this time, so he kept his mouth shut.
When Zhao Ruxue changed into an elegant orchid palace skirt and came in from the side hall, when she saw the scene in front of her, Fang Cai's joy was as if the mist had been blown away by the wind. Seeing that He Xi was serving in front of the palace at this time, there were bursts of resentment in my heart.
The round-faced palace maid who served beside Zhao Ruxue, whose name was Yuexin, saw that there was no joy on her little master's face, and she wondered in her heart, but when she looked up along Zhao Ruxue's line of sight, she saw He Xi personally pouring wine for Tuoba Chen, and her expression became resentful.
Yuexin helped Zhao Ruxue back to her seat, and muttered in a low voice: "The queen doesn't know what she thinks, how to ask her to accompany the little master, the little master contributed, but let her leak her face in vain, is it because the little master offended the queen last time, and the mother hates the little master?" ”
Zhao Ruxue's heart was slightly cold, and she was reminded by Yuexin like this, and she didn't feel that she was cold all over her body.
Naturally, Zhao Ruxue was not the only one who was dissatisfied with this matter, and Luluo also said in Xu Qing'er's ear with disdain: "Little master, I just said that you don't want to help her in everything, look at it, this face is still hurt, Your Majesty is so loving, presumably sooner or later, it must be ...... sooner or later."
"Green pothos, I see that you are really getting bolder, on weekdays, you talk casually in the palace, and now you have moved all the rights and wrongs to the Taihe Palace. It seems that I can't keep you by my side, so I'll send you home later. Xu Qing'er was originally in a mood of boredom for no reason, but at this time, she was aroused by the anger in her heart by the green pothos, and her words couldn't help but be heavier.
The delicate porcelain bowl with a red carp green background shook accidentally, and the delicate osmanthus cake rolled out along the inclined arc, leaving a stain on the water-colored dress of the pothos, which was embarrassing.
"The slave and maid know that they are wrong, the little master, the slave and the maid will not dare in the future, the slave and the maid are really good for the little master, and please spare the slave and the maid this time." Not daring to make a loud noise, the pothos pleaded softly, and her tone was as weak and pitiful as the pear blossoms falling rain.
Xu Qing'er raised her eyes to look at her, and she knew that she had said it seriously, and when she saw the green pothos like this, she didn't feel a soft heart, and sighed helplessly: "You understand the truth that trouble comes from the mouth, and everything will be cautious in the future, besides, if Sister He Xi gets the favor of His Majesty, I will also be happy." ”
It's just that the latter sentence is low and sinks, I don't know if it's said to the pothos or to myself.
After the dinner, everyone was a little drunk, Tuoba Chen was even a little drunk, He Xi helped him get up, and before he could make any other moves, Fuqing came over and said: "The little master has worked hard for a day, and the rest of the things will be handed over to the old slave,"
He Xi stepped aside and knelt on the ground for a long time, and there was a faint pain in his knee, which was also the disease that had been left before, and Gao Yuan found many ways, but he did not remove the root of the disease.
Thinking of Gao Yuan, He Xi actually felt like a world away.
Ruyi's mind was delicate, and she saw that He Xi's body was wrong, and hurriedly stood beside He Xi and let He Xi lean on her body.
Everyone retreated in twos and threes, and Lan Ruo returned to Weiyang Palace early because of his illness.
Walking out of the Taihe Palace, it was already moonlight and stars outside, and the evening breeze was slow, blowing away a little wine on his body, but He Xi felt depressed for a while, and seeing that there was no one around, He Xi reached out and took off the veil covering his face.
"Little Lord, but now you want to go to Huan Palace?" Ruyi was a little worried that the cold air at night would freeze He Xi, so she picked up the gold silk cloak with aqua blue embroidered auspicious cloud patterns between her elbows and draped it on He Xi.
He Xi pulled it together, tied the ribbon on his chest, and said softly: "Let's go, I have been kneeling and sitting in the Taihe Hall for a long time, and my legs are a little numb." ”
Speaking of which, He Xi is currently walking in the direction of the Hehuan Palace, although the direction is the Hehuan Palace, but the road is not the road from the Taihe Hall to the Hehuan Palace, the road in the palace He Xi is still very familiar, she chose a path that is inaccessible, if she is accidentally discovered, there is a reason to prevaricate in the past.
Ruyi followed He Xi from afar, the night was like water, the moonlight was like practice, but He Xi did not have the slightest elegance to enjoy the tranquility of this moment, her thoughts were flickering, and the touch of the Yaoqin in the day still stayed at her fingertips, as if it was as hot as a fire. He Xi rubbed his fingers unconsciously, as if he wanted to get rid of the burning pain, and there seemed to be a trace of nostalgia.
If it weren't for Tuoba Yue today, his gaffe in front of the palace would inevitably arouse the suspicion of others.
It's just that Lan Ruo doubted herself this time, He Xi carefully recalled her every move when she entered the palace, knowing that she didn't show the slightest hint of her feet, but she ignored a woman's intuition Sometimes there is no reason.
Suddenly, his wrist was suddenly stopped, He Xi was defenseless, his feet were unsteady, and he crashed headlong into a warm chest.
He Xi exclaimed, took a sharp breath, Ruyi heard He Xi's low exclamation, and wanted to walk up quickly to check one or two, but he didn't want a cold-faced guard to suddenly appear in front of him, black-haired and black-clothed, it was Yue Qi.
Yue Qi and Tuoba Yue can be said to be inseparable, Yue Qi is here now, and it is self-evident who the person in front of him is.
Smelling the crisp aroma of wine between his nose, accompanied by the elegant incense of agarwood, He Xi took a step back, and lowered his eyes to see a red hem, moving in the night breeze.
"Your Royal Highness King Xian, shouldn't you be out of the palace at this time?" The tone is detached and guarded.
"Are you so afraid of this king? Why are you so far away from me? As if he was not satisfied with He Xi's reaction, he stretched out his hand and pulled it violently, and took He Xi into his arms again.
The two breathed and smelled each other, He Xi's eyes were full of panic, and when he looked up, he saw Tuoba Chen's face was thin red, the corners of his mouth were gently pursed, and his eyes seemed to have a little blurry light - he was drunk.
This realization made He Xi gradually let down the guard in his heart, and his voice was much softened, as cold as the moonlight in the sky.
"King Xian is drunk, this is the palace, although it is a little remote, but after all, it is still a royal place, and King Xian is invited to respect himself." He Xi stretched out his hand against Tuoba Yue's chest, slightly exerting force, as if he wanted to distance himself a little.
How do you know that Tuoba Yue seemed to be angered by He Xi's action, her hand was strong, and her voice was cold: "What, is it because I remember something from the past in my heart, and my heart has softened?" ”
As soon as the words came out, both of them were stunned, and He Xi felt that the scars in her heart were being cut off little by little, flowing with red blood, and her eyes were red.
Tuoba Yue seemed to be a little annoyed and wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be stalked, and the figures of the two of them in the palace today kept appearing in his heart.
His eyes darkened, and he jerked his head down and bit the cherry lip.
