Chapter 24: Scary

"Poof." Fang Xuan suddenly laughed out loud and said affectionately, "Everyone says that Lord Xiao is cold and difficult to approach, but Duan Ning thinks that Lord Xiao is better to get along with than King Xiang." ”

There was a sparkle in her eyes, as if she had entered the sparkling stars in the sky.

"The county lord's move today is really inappropriate."

Xiao Cheng was unmoved, cold as usual, but the corners of his lips were lowered, and he couldn't hear the ease and concern in his tone if he didn't listen carefully.

"Master Xiao thinks, why should I be like this?" Fang Xuan asked rhetorically.

For a long time, the people around him did not speak, as if they wanted to escape into the misty night with this silence.

If it weren't for the slight cool breeze from his robe that fell on the back of his hand while walking, Fang Xuan would have thought that he was walking alone in this long, endless corridor.

"Lord Xiao came to the rescue that day, Duan Ning was grateful, maybe it was benevolence and kindness? Even if I don't do it, adults won't be watching, will they? ”

Fang Xuan looked at the already dim brilliance outside, the aisle in front of him had reached the end, and the same road was no longer possible.

She gave Shi Ran a salute, stretched out her fingertips and gently poked his arm, and smiled smartly, "Duanning, thank you Lord Xiao for your concern!" ”

When the words fell, the man was gone.

Under the moonlight, the smiling face that glimpsed into the night also disappeared.

Xiao Cheng looked at the side that had been vacant in a daze, and there was still a trace of aftertaste from the warm fragrance that had been ripe for a few days, which seemed to be stained on his sleeve robe, lingering, and there was often a dark fragrance.

Scold.

He laughed to himself and strode towards the room.

It's just that the usual cold and lonely back has two more points of gloom for no reason.

——————

"Little Sandalwood, come here."

After entering the room, Fang Xuan took a breath of relief, his face could no longer hold it, and he lay down on the circle chair, almost wanting to fall asleep immediately.

Tossing and turning by now, she is already tired.

Sandalwood is well-behaved, she has already prepared hot water and hot tea, and brought it over earnestly, but she complained: "The prince is so scary, I see that the slave's scalp is numb, and you still laugh out of it." ”

"Huh?" Fang Xuan and his entourage took a sip of hot tea, only to feel that the strength of the whole body slowly eased up, and she waited for her to take off her shoes and socks, a pair of jade feet soaked in hot water, and wanted to sigh comfortably, and said strangely, "Why did the little fool suddenly be clever today?" Which eye saw him scary? The lord of the county stands for you. ”

Sandalwood added a spoonful of warm water to the Nanmu basin and pouted, "Do you still need to look at it?" County Lord, you really didn't hear? King Xiang seems to be angry, that ...... What's it called? Skin...... Skinny doesn't smile, yes, that's it. The hairs on the back of the slave stand on end! ”

She patted her chest with some fear and pouted, "They all say that King Xiang is the most wanton and uninhibited, according to the slave maid, it is just a rumor, it is our prince, although it is serious, but it is not as scary as King Xiang, what kind of eyes do they have." ”

"Well, the hero sees the same thing." Fang Xuan agreed.

"The county lord thinks so too? But Sandalwood is not a hero, at most she is just the little maid of the county lord. ”

Sandalwood kneaded her legs and feet for her, don't look at the small one, but the strength is enough, and she can handle it very well, which is stronger than some old mothers.

Fang Xuan's whole person had already collapsed in the circle chair, the back waist was cushioned by soft embroidered pillows, and a blanket sewn from gray squirrel skin was placed on the back of the circle chair, which was soft and smooth, which was most suitable for a nap. She made two and sent them to her father and mother.

Before leaving, the princess was afraid that she would be bumpy on the road, so she specially ordered her to take this one.

The hook edge of the gold and silver filament on the top was sewn by Fang Xuan with a needle and a thread, which was different from his father's one.

Xu is sandalwood pressure is too comfortable, Xu is really tired, Fang Xuan closed his eyes.

"Father, please have tea." She took the small cup of flat-eared green glaze from Sandalwood's hand, lowered her eyebrows, and offered it to Fang Jin.

Fang Jin took it and sniffed it lightly, and praised: "Duanning's skill in making tea has become more and more sophisticated. ”

Fang Xuan took another cup of tea, folded her hands at the bottom of the cup, and said to the princess: "It's the mother who doesn't dislike her daughter's clumsiness, and she teaches well, so please ask the mother to use tea." ”

Princess Qing is a very gentle character, but seeing that her temperament is as warm and moist as white jade, her face is gentle and gentle like a green willow breeze, and her voice is elegant, and she is very delicate and amiable.

She stretched out her hand to take the teacup and said with a smile: "Where can my family use such a cumbersome thing, but your father said that he wanted to take the school exam." Let Xuan'er sit down and talk to me, okay? ”

The latter sentence was said by the other party.

Fang Jin's eyes fell on the outside of the pavilion, and he smiled but did not answer.

The three of them were sitting in the Star Picking Pavilion of King Qing's Mansion, and the warm afternoon sun was sprinkled down, and the pavilion was divided into two sides, yin and yang.

Fang Jin sat with his back to the sun, his handsome face complemented the princess, and the two of them were affectionate, raising their eyebrows, and they were the fairy couple that everyone admired.

Fang Xuan said: "My daughter has three preferences for Mr. Liu in the palace, one is to love birds, and the other is good tea, and my father is also thinking about his daughter. ”

Two months later, it was the thousand years old of the Empress Dowager Yuzhuang, and Tete made a decree to take her into Beijing to accompany her.

It's just that the Queen Mother believes in Buddhism and hasn't asked anything for a long time, and if there is anything, it is mostly handed over to Liu Ting, the chief manager of the celebrant supervisor.

Speaking of Liu Ting, in the palace, in addition to Li Yuan and Li Governor in the worship room, he is the most close attendant of the Son of Heaven.

And Liu Ting has another difference.

He was originally a distant nephew of the Empress Dowager of Yuzhuang, and when he was a child, he entered the palace to serve the present and left, during which he was naturally different from others in terms of affection or weight.

It is said that those in the palace who rely on the old and sell the old have always looked down on him the most, and they have nothing to do with them.

Speaking of this, Princess Annan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and she stopped talking, "Lord Wang......"

Duanning grew up under her knees, and now she wants to go to Beijing alone, not to mention it, the Queen Mother may still give marriage, she is really relieved.

Fang Jin still looked light, and said disapprerovitically: "Don't worry, princess, the queen mother has always liked Duanning." He patted Princess Qing's hand, "Besides, it's all your own family, isn't it?" ”

Princess Qing is the cousin and niece of the Empress Dowager of Yuzhuang, and if you really want to talk about it, she and Liu Ting can be called cousins......

When Princess Annan heard this, her face immediately turned whiter, but her hand was clenched tightly by Fang Jin, and she bit her lip a little helplessly.

"Duan Ning has to call the queen mother aunt."

Fang Jin's big palm was on her hand, and he kneaded it twice in a soothing manner, and said with a doting touch, "Duanning's title is still set by her old man!" Didn't you forget? And everything is still with me, the princess can rest assured. ”

Princess Qing laughed again when she heard this, and nodded slightly, feeling that she had too much heart.

Fang Xuan listened quietly on the side, slowly skimming off the tea foam from the pot with a tea paddle, and then pouring the tea into the tea dispenser, without the slightest superfluity.

She took Fang Jin's small cup and filled it again, and said respectfully, "Father, please use tea." ”

The color of the second tea soup is clear and translucent, like jasper Shenqing River, different from the previous rich, the tea fragrance is light like orchid, the entrance is sweet, and the aftertaste is long.

Fang Jin likes it the most, but he has never put it down after taking a sip, but now it is unusual, and the second grade Lanzhi is only placed on a few points, closing his eyes for a moment and sighing softly: "Good tea." ”

"Father, I love it."

"Duanning, this trip to the capital is different from Lingnan." Fang Jin opened his eyes and looked at her, his eyes burning, "You must remember, being a man is just like making tea, and being in the world is the same tea, not impetuous, and avoid publicity." ”

Fang Xuan knelt on the ground, "Thank you for your father's teachings, my daughter will not dare to forget." ”
