Chapter 41 Make up for the Dragon Boat Festival
Cui Wei looked at the back of Ling Guang leaving, her lips trembled a little, Ling Guang's words just now exploded in her heart like fireworks, and her heart was mixed, but more than that, she was still happy, and she wanted to open her legs to catch up, but she still hesitated.
Cui Wei has always had a faint inferiority complex in his heart, Ling Guang is Yin Qi's right-hand man, the leader of all the secret guards, the guards, secret guards, minions, and maids up and down the prince's mansion, all of whom have to respect him very much, and his identity is actually very noble. And herself, Cui Wei lowered her eyes and sighed, even if she has a close relationship with the young lady, but the maid is just a maid after all, how can she be worthy of Ling Guang.
Cui Wei finally took the step back, crouched down, cleaned up the mess on the ground, turned and walked to the kitchen, as if nothing had happened just now, he was still the respected leader, and he was still the lowly slave, not bothering each other.
In the grass, Shen Qingyan squatted beside Yin Qi, rubbed his ankles, which were a little numb, and sighed.
"Alas, these two unenlightened people are really going to die in a hurry."
Yin Qi looked at Shen Qingyan, who hated iron but not steel, and smiled, and saw that Ling Guang and Cui Wei had already walked away, so he picked up Shen Qingyan, whose feet were numb, and walked towards the bedroom.
"Ling Guang has always been like this, he is not good at expressing himself, in his eyes, only after completing the task I gave him and meeting Cui Wei, he finally has a little bit of human touch, but he doesn't know what other girls think of him, so he can only run into random bumps, and finally make the two of them break up unhappily." Yin Qi explained to Shen Qingyan for Ling Guang as he walked.
"It's the same with Cui Wei, even though I have long regarded her as a sister, but she always feels that a slave is a slave, and she will always be humble and a dwarf." Shen Qingyan frowned slightly, really anxious for Cui Wei.
"One is not good at expressing himself, and the other is afraid to take any step, these two people really don't know when they will come together." Yin Qi shook his head helplessly, why didn't he worry about Ling Guang in his heart.
"Hmm......" Shen Qingyan lowered his head and pondered, "It's okay, the two of us will find a way to help them when the time comes." ”
"Okay." Yin Qi looked at Shen Qingyan dotingly, as long as she said it, he would do it.
In the Hehuan Palace, sheng songs are permeated, and Concubine Meng is wearing a soft and dense gauze dress, dancing with the cheerful music, and her delicate figure is looming. Yin Xiao sat on the main seat, drinking wine and clapping his hands, he had not been to the court for several days, and he was intoxicated with the gentleness of Concubine Meng every day.
"The emperor is coming." Concubine Meng twisted her slender waist and held Yin Xiao's hand, her voice was as sweet as sugar, asking Yin Xiao to dance with her.
Yin Xiao's beautiful life is obedient, she stepped off the main seat, and danced with Concubine Meng, but because she was old and stiff, she looked a little nondescript, and the palace maids and musicians on the side were holding back their laughter, and their shoulders couldn't stop shaking, but Concubine Meng appreciated it very much, and praised Yin Xiao for dancing well.
After the dance, Yin Xiao was so tired that he was panting and sweating profusely. Concubine Meng took out an embroidered handkerchief from her arms and carefully wiped Yin Xiao's sweat. Yin Xiao smelled the unique fragrance of Concubine Meng's body stained on the embroidered handkerchief, and couldn't help but reverie, a pair of rough hands rubbed dishonestly on Concubine Meng's slender waist. Concubine Meng threw a wink, complained coquettishly, broke free of Yin Xiao's hand without a trace, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea with her back to Yin Xiao, brought it and handed it to Yin Xiao.
"The emperor is tired from dancing just now, let's drink a cup of tea and slow down."
Yin Xiao looked at Concubine Meng's thoughtful appearance, and was very useful in his heart, drank the tea as soon as he drank it, and threw the teacup on the ground again, making a crisp sound, picked up Concubine Meng, and walked towards the couch.
The next day, in the Prince's Mansion, Shen Qingyan was leaning on the couch and boredly flipping through an ancient scripture, because some obscure words in the ancient scriptures made him dizzy, so he threw the ancient scriptures aside, closed his eyes and was angry with himself.
Yin Qi gently pushed the door open, and when he saw Shen Qing's angry appearance, he smiled softly.
Shen Qingyan heard the laughter, opened his eyes, and pouted when he saw Yin Qi, and asked coquettishly: "I said that I would make up for the Dragon Boat Festival, but I didn't see anyone in the morning." ”
"Huh?" Yin Qi pretended to look at Shen Qingyan with doubt, "Did I promise you?" ”
Shen Qingyan saw that Yin Qi looked like he had really forgotten his promise, and became even more angry, his eyes searched everywhere, and finally picked up the ancient scripture that she threw aside and threw it towards Yin Qi.
Yin Qi didn't even blink his eyes, not much, and as soon as he quickly stretched out his hand, the ancient scripture honestly arrived in his hand. Shen Qingyan had long expected this situation, but just glanced at Yin Qi angrily, turned his head and stopped looking at him.
"Silly daughter-in-law, I'll tease you." Yin Qi sat next to Shen Qingyan and rubbed her head dotingly.
"What about zongzi?" When Shen Qingyan heard this, he immediately smiled like a child, and stretched out his hands to ask Yin Qi for zongzi.
"If you have no conscience, you will have no me in your eyes except for zongzi!" Yin Qi gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to nod Shen Qingyan's forehead, "Since it is to make up for the Dragon Boat Festival, of course you have to live a little fuller, how can you just eat zongzi." ”
"Are there any other shows?" Shen Qingyan was even more excited, "Are you going to see the dragon boat?" ”
"Where is the dragon boat now......" Yin Qi expressed his dislike to Shen Qingyan, "but there are others." ”
"This sachet is for you, it contains dried wormwood leaves, and it is combined with other spices to make a sachet." Yin Qi took out an ochre-red sachet from his arms and handed it to Shen Qingyan.
Shen Qingyan smiled and took the sachet, leaned his nose over and smelled it, a very elegant and sweet fragrance came to his nose, not heavy, it gave people a very warm feeling, it was a warm fragrance suitable for wearing in the cold, but it was not too sweet, Shen Qingyan liked it very much.
"But I don't have anything for you." Shen Qingyan looked at Yin Qi with some guilt.
"Fool, what kind of gift do you give, I am the Dragon Boat Festival that I specially made up for you, you can enjoy it." Yin Qi stretched out his index finger and gently flicked Shen Qingyan's forehead, but he didn't exert any force.
Yin Qi pulled Shen Qingyan to sit in front of the dressing mirror again, took out a small cloth box from his sleeve, and when he opened it, it was divided into several compartments, each of which was filled with different colors of fat powder, and some of them were shining, which was very good-looking.
"What is this?" Shen Qingyan was immediately attracted by this colorful little cloth box.
"This is what I asked Ling Guang to get from the vassal kingdom in exchange for painting foreheads." Yin Qi picked up the brush on the dresser, dipped the fat powder in the cloth box and began to paint Shen Qingyan's forehead.
"If you're ugly, I can't spare you." Shen Qingyan looked at Yin Qi's focused appearance, his heart was warm, and he was about to sink into his deep eyes, but his mouth was disgusted with Yin Qi.
Yin Qi smiled softly when he heard this, and said lightly: "My level of painting is not even comparable to that of the painters in the palace, but I have never shown it." ”
When Shen Qingyan heard Yin Qi's words, he felt faintly distressed in his heart, Yin Qi was such a talented and capable person, but he had such an unclear father, who had lived a life of neglect and humiliation since he was a child.
"After that, I want you to paint a portrait of me."
Yin Qi just looked at Shen Qingyan and smiled, did not reply, finished the last stroke, put away the pen, asked Shen Qingyan to wait for a while, and then went out of the room.
Shen Qingyan looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and between his forehead was a fiery red irise, and the tip of the iris was also dyed with layers of gradual gold powder, as if it was burning, and it was matched on Shen Qingyan's stunning face, which was stunning.
Just when Shen Qingyan was amazed by Yin Qi's painting, Yin Qi pushed the door in and came in, holding many scrolls in his hand.
"Why are there so many paintings?" Shen Qingyan saw that Yin Qi couldn't hold it anymore, so he hurriedly walked over to help Yin Qi share some and put it on the table.
"Open it and take a look." Yin Qi said to Shen Qingyan with a smile.
Shen Qingyan was a little puzzled, but he still listened to Yin Qi's words, took out a scroll of paintings, and opened it little by little. As the scroll continued to unfold, a stunning face appeared in front of Shen Qingyan. Shen Qingyan opened his mouth in surprise, the person in the words was himself, the colors were bright and lifelike, as if he was about to jump out of the painting.
Shen Qingyan glanced at Yin Qi, who was smiling, and then took out other picture scrolls and opened them, all of them were themselves without exception, some were smiling, some were frowning, some were crying, some were dozing, some were reading, some were enjoying flowers, some were combing their buns, some were scattering their hair, and some were wearing wedding dresses...... There are too many, all of them are Shen Qingyan's appearance, like a small summary of Shen Qingyan's life.
Shen Qingyan looked at these words, his eyes were slightly moist, how much Yin Qi loved himself, he could even remember every little expression of himself so deeply, and he drew it on the paper without any mistakes.
"What are you crying about?" Yin Qi saw Shen Qingyan crying, and gently wiped away her tears, "Let's see which one I like the most, let's hang it in the bedroom." ”
Shen looked at Yin Qi with a smile, searched for it from many words, and took out a portrait of himself with his mouth slightly open, the emotions in his eyes seemed to be surprised, seemed to be relieved, and seemed to be relieved, which was exactly what he looked like at the moment when he was besieged by the man in black in the teahouse that day.
"This one." Shen Qingyan handed the painting to Yin Qi, and it was at that moment that he truly realized his feelings for Yin Qi and was truly willing to give his heart to Yin Qi.
"Okay." Yin Qi took the painting and carefully admired Shen Qingyan in the painting before hanging the painting on the side of the bedroom.
"It's noon, let's have lunch." Yin Qi pulled Shen Qingyan to sit down at the table and instructed Cui Wei, who was waiting outside the door, to serve the food.
Cui Wei took a few little maids and put the dishes on a table, which was very hearty, including zongzi, Qingtuan, salted duck eggs, five-color rice cakes and potato porridge used to warm the stomach, all of which were special dishes eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival.
"The fillings of the zongzi are all what you said, there are candied fruits, bean paste, ham, and dragon meat dumplings, you can eat a little of everything, but you can't eat more." Yin Qi told Shen Qingyan, whose eyes were shining, "Qingtuan is made of egg yolk and black sesame seeds, and it is the same, you can eat everything on this table, but you can't eat more." ”
"Uh-huh! Got it. Shen Qingyan agreed to Yin Qi's words, his eyes looked at the pile of delicacies on the table and he was reluctant to leave.
