Chapter Twenty-Three: Parting with This Layer of Window Paper
"The border is peaceful, Baixin lives and works in peace and contentment, the town and the country are indispensable, today the town and the country are returning to the court, and it coincides with my birthday, I am really happy, this cup of wine is to all the soldiers, I have worked hard for many years."
King Dongchen was so happy, so he pulled Zhen Guohou to drink a few more cups, and he always felt a chill in his back while drinking.
The national teacher raised his glass and turned the wine glass three times, and then put it down, this action Dongchen King is very familiar with, this is the eldest princess's favorite action, do it when you think about it, you are happy to do it, and you are not happy to do it.
King Dongchen looked back with the cup tremblingly, and raised his eyes to meet the kind eyes of the eldest princess, yes, it is indeed kind, "Zhenguohou has a difficult journey, and he must want to be quiet and quiet." The feast was noisy, and I won't stay much today. After speaking, he raised his glass to the eldest princess, and the implication was that sister, you can see what I did.
Xiyue saw that her father was gone, so there was no need to continue to stay, but she was caught by King Dongchen: "Xiyue, you stay in the palace tonight." ”
Xiyue was puzzled: "Why?" ”
"Reunion after a long absence, Xiao Beisheng is newly married, you don't want to be that-stirring stick."
Xiyue thought, the eldest princess and Zhen Guohou have a deep relationship, and now they must have a good time when they meet, if they are dangling around at this time, they will be annoying for no reason, and it is good not to go back, but: "Uncle, Xiyue is a-stirring stick, so what are you?" ”
King Dongchen was about to knock a chestnut on Xiyue's head, but she hurriedly hugged her head and ran behind the national teacher to make a face.
It was night, Xiyue was lying on the bed, and Rao is veil couldn't stop her overflowing thoughts.
The envoys of Beiluo sent congratulatory gifts every year, but none of them were personally escorted to Beijing. King Dongchen, who was so cautious, should logically avoid Gu Beiyang from having any contact with Beiluo, but instead of stopping him, he arranged for Gu Beiyang to receive him.
Gu Beiyang's reception, I haven't seen it again today, Xiyue is tossing and turning on the bed, her mind is more messy than mush. She knows, she knows everything, she knows Gu Beiyang's revenge, Gu Beiyang's ambition, Gu Beiyang's hatred, and everything Gu Beiyang carries. But knowing does not mean understanding, understanding does not mean bearing, Xiyue understands Gu Beiyang more than she understands herself, it is because she understands too much that she is too entangled.
Xiyue pretended to be crazy and stupid, and caused trouble for the eldest princess every day, just to show off how good Gu Beiyang was, so that he could always accompany him, at least for a while longer. But seeing that this day is coming to an end, everyone around him is reminding Xiyue not to take it too seriously, even Gu Beiyang, his alienation, indifference, and refusal to respond, are telling Xiyue: He wants to go back to Beiluo, and he wants to go back and return everything that has been placed on him.
How smart Xiyue is, how could she not understand, just don't say it, one doesn't want to admit it, everyone is poking this layer of window paper for Xiyue, only she insists.
Xiyue hugged the quilt and shrunk to the side, her eyes shining.
A pair of hands passed through the veil, "Xiyue, are you sleeping?" ”
"Ahh
"It's me." Gu Beiyang lifted the veil and sat on the table.
Xiyue immediately got up and saw Gu Beiyang holding a wooden gadget in his hand, "What is this?" ”
"Beiluo brought it, I saw it strange, I guess you like it, so I asked them for it."
"It's really strange that this object actually moves on its own. Thank you. ”
"You and I don't have to say thank you."
"Let's go to the roof."
“?”
"Admire the moon."
In the night of Dongchen, only the lights are left, the bright moon is in the sky, sitting on the roof as if you can touch the bright moon with your hand.
Gu Beiyang stretched out his hand to drive away mosquitoes for Xiyue, and Xiyue held a pot of wine and smelled the wine, "Ah Yang, why does everyone love to drink this wine when it is bitter and unpleasant?" ”
"The days are too bitter, drink something bitter to feel sweeter."
"Self-deception." After Xiyue finished speaking, like holding a wine pot hippopotamus to drink water, she took two big sips, bitter after spicy, spicy after sweet, sweet after sweet.
"Drink slowly, beware of choking."
Xiyue staggered to her feet, pointed to the moon in the sky and said, "Look at the moon, high up, it must be very lonely." ”
Gu Beiyang stretched out his hand to protect Xiyue around him, and he also looked up, and after watching, he said: "Surrounded by stars, I have never been lonely." ”
"You two are going to the moon?" Sang Ziyu poked his head out of the tree on the side and quipped.
Xiyue threw the wine jug into Sang Ziyu's hand: "It's not Benyue, it's to kill someone." What about Mo'er? ”
Sang Ziyu opened the wine jug and took a sip, wiped his mouth clean and said, "I guess the killing is gone." ”
Xiyue rolled up her sleeves: "Don't call me if you fight!" It's not interesting enough! ”
Xiyue wanted to use light power to fly the eaves and walk the wall, but because she drank too much wine, her brain couldn't keep up with her body, and she flew up, and before she reached the wall, she heard an "oops" sound and threw it to the ground.
Gu Beiyang could only shake his head helplessly.
Even if she fell on her leg, Xiyue insisted on helping Shi Mo'er suppress the field, and the appearance of jumping made Gu Beiyang really unable to stand it, so she walked in front of Xiyue and squatted.
Xiyue smiled triumphantly.
Gu Beiyang carried Xiyue on his back to press the field, and Sang Ziyu took out a folding fan out of nowhere, and said to the extreme: "I also want to be carried in the bottom." ”
"Get out."
