Chapter 17: Who Waits for Whom

Murong Xi sat in the pavilion early, still holding her chin with one hand and eating the fruit with the other, Nangong Yi sat beside her, showing a big smile: "Xi'er, I'm good, I'll come after the next court."

With such a cute appearance, Murong Xi looked a little red: "Since the emperor doesn't study anymore, what are you doing in the mansion?"

"Come to see Xi'er"! Nangong Yi is not shy at all to express his true thoughts.

"I didn't see you so concerned about political affairs," Murong Xi dodged the topic just now.

"Recently, in addition to the merman, there is also a particularly strange thing, the city in the north of the mainland has long been covered with snow, and the people naturally will not go to farming, however, there is always a scarecrow guarding the field for no reason, especially in the wind and rain night, it is bound to appear, and it disappeared the next day, many people have seen this matter, reported to the officials, and the officials are afraid that it will be evil after seeing it with their own eyes, so they will present a twist and turn, what does Xi'er think of this matter"? Nangong Yi didn't seem to be worried, and said while looking at her, his smile seemed to melt the snow.

"Where is the evil in the world, it's just a speculative essay in the Zhai Zhi, but this scarecrow only appeared after the snow was covered? Or was there before"? Murong Xi thought carefully before speaking.

"After the snow is covered, if it is a clear night, you may not be able to see it," Nangong Yi replied.

"Straw weaving, but guarding the stormy night, if it weren't for people I really can't think of any other reason, I'm afraid there is something else in that snow, right?" Murong Xi didn't believe in those illusory things.

How could he not have thought of this? What he was waiting for was her words: "Why don't we go and see it tonight?"

"The north is tens of thousands of miles away from the capital, and the emperor has to go to court early tomorrow," Murong Xi reminded him instead.

"I will be able to go back and forth overnight" Nangong Yi longed in her heart for her to go the same way.

"Then let's go" Murong Xi was really curious that there could be such a strange thing in the world.

And just in case, the two of them set off after dinner, Nangong Yi took her all the way to the clouds, deliberately slowing down, in fact, for him, this 10,000-mile road is just a pillar of incense, and in order to enjoy the night view with her, he took two pillars of incense to get to that place, gradually, the piercing breath became more obvious, both of them breathed fog, Nangong Yi took off his robe and put it on her: "Don't be cold."

Murong Xi looked up and saw that his face was already cold, and he was obviously moved in his heart, but he couldn't express this feeling in his mouth: "If you get sick again this time, I won't take care of you."

Nangong Yi smiled: "Xi'er is admitting that she took care of me last night?" ”

"Nope"! Murong Xi turned his head away.

However, the two waited for a while, and in the snow, there was nothing else except the howling cold wind, and Murong Xi sighed: "It's so sunny today, I guess I can't see it."

Nangong Yi's original purpose was not to come to see any scarecrow, he just wanted to be with her, but he just took this reason and asked her to accompany him, and by the way, he understood that he was actually very concerned about state affairs, but when her words fell, fine snow blew up, and gradually, the goose feathers were bigger, and some broken snow was stained on her eyelashes, and the already long and dense eyelashes with this bustling embellishment made her already delicate face add a creature like an elf, and the faint shadow of the broken snow somewhat blocked her vision, She rubbed and rubbed off a few eyelashes with her hands, Nangong Yi held her hand and gently stroked off those white, the silence around her body, Murong Xi seemed to be able to hear her heartbeat, and her face turned even redder.

When the two of them looked back at the snow again, a scarecrow was standing in the cold wind, and the snow kept accumulating on its shoulders, and as more and more snow bent it, the two approached, and took a closer look, it was indeed just an ordinary scarecrow, and there was indeed nothing here just now, Nangong Yi didn't believe that there would be evil in the world, so he took her hand and patrolled around: "There is indeed no one."

Murong Xi nodded: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

It's just that the more he waited, the wind and snow gradually stopped, the scarecrow still stood there, unmoved, looking at the thick snow, Murong Xi couldn't bear its current appearance, and helped it clean up the snow on its shoulders, but this snow had been falling for a few hours, and it had already crushed its original body, even if it cleaned up, it couldn't go back to its former appearance, seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Nangong Yi said gently: "It's time to go back."

The snowy morning was the coldest, Murong Xi took off the robe, tied it to it, and then left with Nangong Yi Tayun.

Seeing the two holding each other affectionately, turning away, the scarecrow gradually recovered his true body, the white-haired and white-robed man was standing barefoot in the snow, wearing the black velvet robe, looking at the figure that was about to be invisible, his eyes were full of sadness: "It's been hundreds of years, I've finally waited for you", and when he couldn't see it at all, he also disappeared.

And when the two of them rushed back to the palace, they happened to press the point of the early dynasty, and Wen Yu was so anxious that he paced back and forth in the imperial study, and kept reading in his mouth, Nangong Yi took Murong Xi to appear directly: "Xi'er stays in the palace and rests before going back to the mansion, I'll go to the court first."
