Chapter 48: Qingyue Pear Blossom Diagram
Liu Ke's words seemed to add a thorn to Xiao Yin's heart, and a trace of perseverance and determination rose in her eyes, perhaps, she should find a way to face the saint and see if there was room for this matter to go back.
"Don't worry about this anymore, it's a foregone conclusion. If you act rashly, you will only anger the Holy Power and put Wang Shizi in even greater danger. Liu Ke seemed to be able to see what she was thinking, turned his head, and comforted softly, "Although Huishuo is not as good as Tongjun, it may not be a good thing to stay away from Chang'an." β
Liu Ke's eyes were long, and he seemed to think of something else, but Xiao Yin couldn't see through it.
The warm incense of the small stove rose from Jinyi, and there was a half-old embroidered cushion on the small chair on the yellow wood table, Qian'er ran in, put the warm bag in her hand on the cushion, and ran out with a smile.
Qian'er, the little girl, was so happy that she almost tripped on the threshold. Liu Ke had a warm smile on his face, and he didn't care about the little girl's reckless faux pas, he just walked over and picked up the warm bag.
"Come here." He just turned back to Xiao Yin and said.
Xiao Yin put his hand in the lotus pink fine fluffy warm bag, and the warmth went straight to his heart, and Fang Cai's hundred turns and thousands of times were also much calmer.
On the wall behind the yellow wooden table hangs a painting: the clear moon is shining, and the pear blossoms are thin. The doufang is delicately framed, but the painting has no inscription. Xiao Yin felt that this method seemed to be a little familiar, and after a closer look, it was actually his own game back then. This painting seems to have been painted when I first arrived at the Prince's Mansion, and I don't know how it was brought here.
Xiao Yin's heart was inexplicably a little pounding. As soon as he turned around, he just bumped into Liu Ke's soft gaze, Xiao Yin felt that his face was hot, he turned his head with a warm bag and pretended to look at the painting, smiled self-deprecatingly at the corner of his mouth, and sighed: "I was young and flamboyant. The brushwork is naΓ―ve, but it just wants to show some arrogance and alienation that rejects people for thousands of miles. In the end, it is a young heart, and now I see it, it is indeed a little naΓ―ve and arrogant. β
Liu Ke didn't speak, just smiled, and also approached, looking at the Qingyue pear blossom picture carefully.
Xiao Yin didn't look back, but he seemed to be able to hear Liu Ke's warm heartbeat behind him. She leaned slightly to one side, turned around, walked to the pear wood table on the side, picked up the bamboo cup on the lacquer plate, arrived at a cup of tea, and served it to Liu Ke.
If there is no fragrance, Liu Ke looked at the teacup in front of him, and seemed to be stunned, but in an instant, he took it, and there was a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I heard from the seventh brother, at that time, you even dared to climb the roof of the palace. Looking at it now, that little girl has indeed grown up," Liu Ke held the teacup in his hand, his eyes were soft, like the sun in winter, he looked at it for a long time, but Xiao Yin just lowered his head and remained silent. Liu Ke seemed to sigh, "Sometimes, I can't help but think about the two years you lived in the Meditation Garden. I always control you, restrain your temperament, and tell you to read and practice calligraphy, and I don't know whether it's right or wrong. Now it seems that it is like this pear blossom, although it is a little impetuous, but it is not arrogant, which is rare. β
Liu Ke's voice fell, and seeing that Xiao Yin was still standing there, he stretched out his hand to hold her, but Xiao Yin subconsciously dodged, and the warm bag fell to the ground.
The warm bag cracked, and the ground was filled with steam, and the remaining heat rose. Xiao Yin blurted out: "Back then, my painting skills were not good, but in the game, I couldn't draw pear blossoms, and I almost insulted my sister's favorite flower." β
The water in the warm bag dispersed, and the ground was covered with an ugly mark. Liu Ke's hand froze in mid-air, and he put it down silently for a long time. After a while, he turned around and sat down in the yellow wooden circle chair, with a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, and the tiredness in his thin face added a bit of loneliness and bitterness.
Xiao Yin said that, and immediately regretted it. She felt sorry for such Liu Ke for no reason. At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the Qilan Royal Court for ten years, he was also wearing a crab shell blue shirt. At that time, he was elegant and elegant, holding a wine glass and talking and laughing with the left and right, what kind of demeanor was outstanding. But today, the status of the East Palace is no longer the same as back then, and the Qilan Phoenix Girl Fuzhao East Palace has also become an old dream. Whether it is right or wrong, Xiao Yin asked himself, he is not qualified to add such a thorn to Liu Ke's heart.
"I'm sorry." Xiao Yin read silently in his heart, but he didn't have the courage to say anything or do anything.
The incense in the house was heavy, and the two of them were so quiet, as if even the old branches outside the window could be floating.
Fortunately, Aunt Yang came in with a smile and broke the embarrassing silence.
"Master, dinner has been prepared, is it ready to be outside, or is it brought to the back room?" Between Aunt Yang's words, she noticed that the situation between the two people in the room was a little strange, and the smile on her face gradually froze, and she was a little hesitant.
"No need." Liu Ke's voice was low and did not make waves, "You go and tell the sixth child, get ready, and send Lord Weng back to the palace." β
As soon as the words fell, Aunt Yang was puzzled all over her face, but she didn't dare to say anything else, but she responded cautiously and retreated. I wondered in my heart, when the master first came today, he looked at the spirit of interest and was obviously good, but I don't know how it became like this for such a while.
After a while, Aunt Yang reported under the eaves of the hut, "The sixth child is ready."
Xiao Yin saw that Liu Ke was still ugly and didn't speak, so he took a few steps forward, twisting the silk with both hands, not knowing how to speak.
"Let's go back," Liu Ke squeezed out a smile at her, "Wang Shizi's affairs, what I can do, I will help some, and I will not make him embarrassed." β
Liu Ke promised to try his best to take care of his brother, but Xiao Yin's heart welled up with sadness, and his eyes seemed to be a little confused, only listening to him softly, "Don't worry."
"Wait," Xiao Yin turned around when he heard this, Liu Ke finally stood up from the yellow wooden circle chair, and took out an object from his sleeve, which was the black jade unicorn token, "This, I said it, you must put it away." If something happens again in the future, don't rush to find someone to spread the message. The inner supervisor of Fengyi Palace who lit the lamp, there is a white and pure name Xunzi, I can tell him everything, and I will know. β
Liu Ke pinched the veil tied to the token, and the black jade token swayed slightly. Xiao Yin stretched out his hand to grab the token, but he couldn't help but think in his heart that it turned out that in his aunt's palace, there were also eyes and ears inserted by Liu Ke. It turns out that the turbulence of the court's harem has evolved to such a field.
Before leaving, my sister asked her to promise that if one day, Liu Ke encountered a dilemma on the line of life and death, and she would definitely try her best to help him. At the beginning, she only felt that it was her sister's concern and guilt, but now, the king of faith and the little prince, the emperor's favor and suspicion are self-evident. Could it really be that day?
Liu Chen said that he would never fight with his imperial brother in this life. What about the little prince, what does my aunt think in her heart?
Lao Liu drove a carriage from the Painting Bureau and carried Xiao Yinyuan through the Nangong Gate. Xiao Yin didn't know what method Liu Ke used, and the palace gate guards didn't make it difficult, so they let him go.
The lights were still on in the small courtyard in the west, and the people in the girl palace were relieved when they saw Xiao Yin coming back.
Cai Ping's face was worried, Xiao Yin smiled at her reluctantly, and comforted: "Brother will be fine, although Huishuo is hard, but with Mu Bo and Mu Qi, everything will be fine with my brother." β
As soon as Xiao Yin's words fell, the tip of his nose was sour, and he cried again.
Rong Yue, who was standing on the side, had a strange look on her face.
