Chapter 104: Ancient Tomb in Distress (1)
The next day, the rain still did not stop, He Xi sent Ruyi early in the morning, took the fresh bamboo shoot soup from the small kitchen and sent it to the imperial study, and when he came back, he said to He Xi: "Your Majesty's Fu Gonggong said that it is difficult for the little lord to have a heart, but these days, news keeps coming from Shuzhong, and His Majesty is busy with this matter, I am afraid that it is a matter of the harem, so that the little lord is not in a hurry." ”
He Xi's move seems to be an invitation to pet, but it is actually a temptation, she knows that last time Fuqing admitted her love, she will inevitably mention herself more in these small things, fortunately, it is still within her expectations.
"Did Grandpa Fu say anything else?" He Xi asked, Ruyi thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "No." ”
He Xi nodded slowly and said with a smile: "Even so, it's best to prepare, you go to the lotus heart to prepare, just in case." Ruyi said a little embarrassed: "Little master, the slave's vulgar disguise technique, I'm afraid it can't be put on the stage, the last time the slave and maid gave you a disguise, the prince knew, but the prince personally asked someone to reprimand the slave and maid, and told the slave and the maid not to take the little master to mess around." ”
He Xi didn't care, and said lightly: "Once born and twice cooked, Ruyi, I believe in you, besides, didn't King Xian also send a message in, can he really rush into my Lingxiu Palace and dispose of you?" Go ahead. ”
He Xi stomped in front of the makeup, stretched out his hand and tapped a few rhythmically in a place under the bronze mirror, the sound of the clicking mechanism turning, and after a while, he saw a small dark grid stretched out from the bottom, He Xi gently took it out, opened the box, and meditated the things inside, which seemed to be very entangled.
The ugly man came in. When I saw He Xi's frowning and thinking about it, I saw what He Xi was holding in his hand. It turned out to be a very delicate dagger, with a cold glow flashing, and the slight end was inlaid with red jade. When she saw He Xi raise it, she only felt that the dagger was soul-snatching.
"Ugly, do you know the name of this dagger?" He Xizai looked carefully, and couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly because of the dagger flashing cold.
The ugly girl shook her head and said, "The slave maid is shallow and doesn't know the name of this dagger. ”
He Xi said softly: "This is broken gold, which Liang Bo got by accident before, and I heard that it is the last short dagger cast in the life of Mr. Zichou, the master of sword casting. Swords with heroes, follow me, it's a pity after all. ”
He Xi muttered, putting away the scabbard and putting the dagger into his sleeve.
When everything was ready, it was already evening, He Xi played with Tuoba Lin all day, and now he was satisfied with the nurse and mother to sleep.
Ruyi served He Xi and got dressed, only to feel that his eyes were bright, He Xi had long sleeves and black hair. The beautiful eyes are like waves, and the originally beautiful willow eyebrows have been thickened by Ruyi, and a little bit of heroism has also covered up the coquettishness of her daughter's family.
It's just that the cinnabar between the eyebrows, at this time, it seems that it has given birth to a bit of femininity, like a man and a woman, I can't tell the difference, I just feel that the beauty is also extremely beautiful. Soft and extremely soft.
"If this is seen by a young lady of any family, I'm afraid it's going to be spring." Ruyi covered her lips and smiled stupidly, He Xi looked left and right at the bronze mirror, the cinnabar between her eyebrows, she didn't see anything in it on weekdays, but now it seems that it is very obvious, she changed shares everywhere. Pulled out a tie from the wardrobe, the aqua blue tie, embroidered with lotus leaf patterns, He Xi cut the tie short three times and twice, and then tied it between his forehead.
A water-colored forehead wipe was completed, and it happened to cover the cinnabar between the eyebrows, revealing a bit of grace, wishful calling ingenious, but I didn't want to, He Xi's casual behavior actually set off a wave in Beijing, of course, this is a later story.
Several people went out of the palace according to the agreed route, all the way were Tuoba Yue's hands, He Xi naturally did not worry that he would be discovered, his expression was calm, knowing that he had arrived at the cheapest place at the palace gate, the guard guarding the door saw two petite men, and couldn't help but be stunned, and knew in his heart that this was the person who the prince ordered to send out of the palace, so he didn't ask a word more, and sent He Xi out respectfully.
Outside the palace gates. There was a black carriage, waiting outside, there was a person sitting in front of the car, it was the seventh day of the month, when he saw He Xi, he just gave his hand, and when He Xi got into the carriage, he shook the reins and galloped away with the horse.
He Xi sat in the carriage without saying a word, until she vaguely heard the noisy and lively sounds, and there was even a business of children laughing and playing. Only then did they know that they were not out of the city. She lifted the corner of the curtain and saw that the street was brightly lit, and the vendors were shouting and shouting.
As if knowing He Xi's doubts, Yueqi explained: "The prince said it. Out of the city at this hour, there are too many eyeliners, you need to wait, let the slave bring the little master here first. ”
He Xi looked in the direction of Yue Qi's finger, his heartbeat missed a beat, and in front of him was a magnificent restaurant, which was the restaurant where Lan Zhili shot, and He Xi said peacefully on his face: "His Royal Highness the Virtuous King is too ostentatious, if I am recognized, I am afraid that I will be killed." ”
"The prince said, the most dangerous place is also the safest place, please come with me." Yue Qi is as good as a stream, jumping out of the carriage and waiting aside, Ruyi is new to everything, but He Xi is a little apprehensive, but the first time she made a move, she was obviously cautious, could he not have found out?
But in an instant, he denied this idea, maybe he was just tempting, and he had to deal with it carefully. He Xi lifted his spirits and walked in the direction of the restaurant, and he could always see a few hidden guards along the way, and he was ready to come to Tuoba Yue.
A few people went all the way to the restaurant, and along the way, He Xi's handsome appearance provoked many people to take a few more looks. Even Yue Qi sighed, how can this person dress up as a woman, he is overwhelmed by the country and the city, and he is also unrestrained when he dresses up as a man.
In this way, a few people under the attention of everyone, all the way to the top floor of the private room, different from the hustle and bustle downstairs, the two floors upstairs, is dedicated to some dignitaries and nobles to discuss and enjoy, occasionally from the middle of a few beautiful piano sounds, is also extraordinary, different from the sound of the market below,
In short, this restaurant. From dignitaries to ordinary people, they can all come in, which is really mixed, which is why He Xi is interested in this restaurant.
There were already people waiting in front of the door, and when they saw He Xi and a few people coming, they said to the man in the private room: "Lord, the prince is here." ”
Humming softly, his voice was a little magnetic, and it was a little thought-provoking, He Xi scolded him in his heart, but he kept walking in.
The incense burned in the room, elegant and pleasant, and the sultry heat was eliminated a lot, He Xi looked around, a little surprised, and before she could speak, she heard Tuoba Yue say: "Mr. Gao has taken Ruian out of the city, and they will wait for us in the ancient tomb." ”
He Xi also knew that she should narrow down the goal and act separately, so she did it on her own and asked a little unceremoniously: "Then are we going to eat or drink now?" ”
Seeing her straightforward question, Tuoba Yue's eyes brought a smile, and he asked in a flat tone: "What do you think, how is this restaurant?" ”
He Xi's heart couldn't help but lift, she tried to calm herself, Yang Qi came with a bright smile, and said with a smile: "It's a chic place, both elegant and vulgar, I don't know how the dishes are." ”
Tuoba Yue saw that she answered openly, looked around with just the right amount of curiosity in her eyes, and couldn't help but shake a little in her heart. Is this really not related to her?
Thinking of this, Tuoba Yue smiled and said: "This was originally a real estate under Lan Zhili, but a few days ago, His Majesty forced him to raise donations, and he had to make a move, and now the shopkeeper behind this restaurant is an ordinary rich businessman." ”
"Oh? Lan's industry, no wonder it can stand so firmly in Beijing, it turns out that Prime Minister Lan is behind him, but in such a place where he is making money every day, why doesn't His Royal Highness King Xian buy it? He Xi had a serious look on his face, as if he was really giving advice to Tuoba Yue, which made Tuoba Yue even more confused.
"I don't want to, but someone has already done it, and our people are a step late." Tuoba Yue sighed lightly, it seemed to be a pity, He Xi's fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if he was helping Tuoba Yue find a way, and only after a while did he say: "If you are just an ordinary person, you can move out of your identity, and they must still understand the Taoist ideal of the people not fighting with the officials." ”
"If it were as simple as that, I'm afraid it would be ours by now." Tuoba Yue personally poured a cup of tea for He Xi, then poured himself wine, and said with a smile: "That's it, in another hour, we will go to the ancient tomb, you need to eat something first." ”
Seeing He Xi staring at the wine glass in his hand, he explained: "Maybe Gao Yuan wants to do the needle for you, and you must not drink, otherwise, he will definitely complain." ”
He Xi chuckled lightly, and the moire forehead band tied to his forehead covered the cinnabar between his eyebrows, but it made a pair of bright eyes appear more and more clear and lovely, and when he laughed, it seemed that there was a lake rippling slightly in it. The atmosphere between the two eased a lot, and a little bit of Xiao Er sent in a few light and delicious side dishes, but with exquisite workmanship, and even He Xi's favorite squirrel fish, which aroused He Xi's appetite.
Tuoba Yue was just tasting the wine, occasionally tasting the small dishes in front of him, his eyes were heavy, he didn't know what he was thinking, and sometimes he couldn't help but smile when he looked at He Xi, but He Xi didn't notice it, just lowered his head and tasted the food.
When the two of them went out of the city, the sky had already darkened, Tuoba Yue took Ling Xi to leap down from the high city wall, this was not the first time he took her to cross the woods, but maybe it was because of the wine, or the moonlight was sultry, both of them felt that their breath was stuffy, and it was inevitable that their hearts would be hot.
