Chapter 104: Snowy Night
Just when Xiaoyu was half-asleep and half-awake, Bai Rong walked in.
"The slave maid has seen the young lady", Bai Rong bowed respectfully.
Xiao Yu waved his hand and said, "Bai Rong, I've already said it, I don't usually want to be so polite!" Did you find anything when you stared at the embroidered orange today? ”
Bai Rong shook her head and said, "Miss Hui, the slave maid has been following Xiuju today, she has acted normally, and she has not deliberately approached anyone!" ”
"In this way, then you will follow it for the past few days, and you will have to keep an eye on it at night in the future, and come back when she is resting, it will be hard for you!" After speaking, Xiao Yu instructed Bai Fu to take a piece of broken silver and reward Bai Rong.
Bai Rong hurriedly said: "Miss, you don't need it, the New Year has already rewarded the slave maid with a big red envelope, this young lady's order is the slave's business, how dare you ask the young lady to give another reward!" Xiao Yu smiled: "Take it, it's not easy to mark people, it's cold and hard!" ”。
Sent Bai Rong away, Xiaoyu excused herself to sleep, and let Bai Fu rest early.
The snow shines faintly, the fragrance of plum blossoms outside is refreshing, and the small fish is dressed up and standing in front of the window, with thoughts undulating.
I don't know if Murong Hua will come at night, it's starting to snow outside, and I don't know if he will freeze on such a cold day. There is also Moon Gongzi, his lonely figure in the twilight today, lingering in Xiaoyu's brain.
"Isn't it cold for you to stand here at the window?" , A familiar figure suddenly appeared in the dark of the plum shadow.
Xiaoyu was startled and whispered, "Are you going to scare me to death?" ”
Murong Hua chuckled and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to a good place!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand to Xiao Yu.
Xiaoyu was slightly stunned: "Where to go?" Murong Hua's eyes shone in the darkness, and he said in a low voice, "Do you dare to follow me!" ”
Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and said, "Why don't you dare!" Murong Hua held Xiaoyu's little hand tightly, soft as boneless, and slightly cool in his hand.
He reached out and took the fish down from the window and hugged her tightly into his arms.
"Why are you wearing so little?" , Murong Hua found that Xiaoyu was only wearing underwear, and his hair was also long and scattered, it was the first time he had seen such a lazy and honest Xiaoyu.
Xiao Yu said in a low voice: "Everyone is already lying on the bed and ready to sleep!" Murong Hua took off the black mink fur, draped it on Xiaoyu's shoulder, and asked, "Is it still cold now?" The girl's jewel-like eyes looked up at him, and she shook her head with a smile.
"Then let's go!" After speaking, Murong Hua picked up the little fish and went to the roof with light skills. Xiao Yu had already adapted to being held high by Murong Hua, she consciously hid her face in the big cloud, closed her eyes, and let the whirring wind blow across her cheeks.
I don't know how long it took before Murong Hua stopped and put the little fish down. "Be careful, stand still!" , Murong Hua's strong arm supported Xiao Yu's waist.
"Wow, where is this!" , Xiao Yufu was startled when he opened his eyes.
The two of them stood on the cornices on the top of a high tower, with a panoramic view of the entire capital, and the strings of red lanterns on each street outlined a brilliant light net in the city, with white snow and red lights and gray tiles, rippling in the night.
Murong Hua carefully helped Xiaoyu to sit on the ridge of the cornice, and wrapped the two of them tightly with a big coat.
"Murong Hua, where are we?"
"Haven't you been here, it's the royal Huayan Temple! This is Myeongbong Tower! Murong Hua hugged Xiaoyu, and the two sat head to head and shoulder to shoulder.
"Xiaoyu, I've always imagined that it is like now, only the two of us are sitting quietly, talking or silent, and our hearts are very satisfied!"
Xiao Yu listened to the young man next to him, and his heart was full of joy. The snowflakes fell on the black sky one by one, and instantly turned into crystal ice crystals. The boy looked at the lights of the thousands of homes under his feet, and turned his head to look at the beloved girl.
The girl's demeanor was calm, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her eyes were full of trust when she looked at him. Unconsciously, Murong Hua had an urge to speak.
"Xiaoyu, you still don't know my background!"
Xiao Yu shook his head lightly and said: "Murong Hua, what I like about you is not because of what kind of prince you are, not because of how you look, I just think that only you can understand the loneliness in my heart in this world, and only you can understand the feeling of being unaccompanied in the Hou Mansion!" ”
Murong Hua heard Xiao Yu's heartfelt words, and hugged her tighter and tighter. The eyes of the girl in her arms are full of tenderness and care for Murong Hua, from childhood to adulthood, except for the mother concubine, there is no second person who shows such heartfelt tenderness to Murong Hua.
In the young man's warm embrace, leaning on the young man's broad and solid chest, Xiao Yu listened to Murong Hua's eloquent words.
It turned out that Murong Hua's father, King Beiqiang, had more than one concubine, and Murong Hua's mother died when Murong Hua was five years old.
And the current concubine of the King of Beiqiang regards Murong Hua as a thorn in the side because her son is only one year younger than Murong Hua, not only often sowing discord in King Beiqiang, but also trying her best to stumble on Murong Hua in secret.
"At that time, it was my sister who desperately protected me, and I was spared. Later, when I finally grew to the age of ten, Beiqiang began to reconcile with Da Tan, and the eldest concubine gave advice to my father and asked me to come to Da Tan as a proton. My sister pleaded with her father, but he was indifferent. ”
Murong Hua said lightly about his life experience, and his voice did not fluctuate at all, but Xiao Yu clearly saw that there were crystal tears rolling in his eyes.
She stretched out her hands and gently wrapped her arms around Murong Hua's neck, gently pressing her cheeks against his face.
"Murong Hua, it's all over, and now you are no longer alone, you still have me. After that, we will go back to the grassland together, we will go horseback riding together, shoot arrows together, and go to see the sacred mountain and holy lake you mentioned together! ”
Murong Hua picked up Xiaoyu's hand, gently put it on his lips and kissed it, "Yes, it's good that I met you!" When I first saw you, I felt that you were very lonely, and that kind of inherited and independent temperament immediately attracted me. At that time, I wondered why such a small girl was so lonely and lonely between her eyebrows! ”
Xiao Yu leaned on Murong Hua's shoulder and muttered: "Meet the person you want to meet among thousands of people, in the endless wilderness of time for thousands of years, there is no earlier step, no later step, just caught up, there is nothing else to say, only to ask softly: Oh, you are also here?"
Murong Hua held Xiao Yu's hand and said, "Xiao Yu, you are really talented, these words are appropriate." “
Xiao Yu smiled slightly: "I didn't say these words, I heard a woman say them when I was young, but fortunately I still remember these words!" “
In her previous life, Xiaoyu's favorite was Zhang Ailing's words, but now that I think about it, her encounter with Murong Hua was not just met in the wilderness of endless time in tens of millions of years.
"Xiaoyu, you can wait with peace of mind, when you are ready, I will go to ask Emperor Tan for a decree and let him marry us, you can rest assured, there are still three years, and I will let you marry me in three years, you have to believe that I will not be just a proton forever!" , Murong Hua said in an unquestionable tone in Xiao Yu's ear.
"Murong Hua, I don't want to be a princess, I don't care what your identity is, I just want you to be well, I just want you to have a good time, instead of being trapped in those internal struggles all day long!"
"In short, Xiaoyu, you can wait for me with peace of mind, I will make you happy for a lifetime!" Although the young man's oath is young, it is the most beautiful sound in the ears of Xiaoyu.
……
Happy days are always fleeting, and in the next few days, Xiaoyu is immersed in joy, and Murong Hua tries his best to take Xiaoyu out of the house every afternoon.
They went to Huayan Temple to ask for a sign to catch the temple fair, and also went to Qushui for boating, or bargained in various shops on East Street, or ate delicious food in major restaurants in the capital according to the map.
Every time, Murong Hua also bought a lot of gadgets for Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu only secretly took a pair of small noodles back, which was made according to her and Murong Hua's appearance.
"Miss, you can't go out again in the afternoon! The eldest lady is already suspicious, and the slave is afraid that she will not be able to hide it! On the afternoon of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, when Xiaoyu wanted to repeat his old tricks, Bai Fuyi protested rhetorically.
"Second sister, don't wander around the garden in the afternoon, seeing that there are not a few days left before the Huanxue Club, let's practice our talents again, if you don't practice your hands for a day, you haven't practiced calligraphy these days!" , Qi Pan frowned slightly and walked to Xiaoyu's side. Xiao Yu stuck out his tongue and whispered.
"Bai Fu, I'll practice calligraphy in the study for a while, you go to the bamboo forest, what should you say, do you understand?" , Xiao Yu held a brush in his hand, sat on the side of the bookcase and commanded listlessly. Bai Fu nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, miss, I will definitely bring the words!" ”
When Bai Fu came back, Xiao Yu had already practiced a lot of words absentmindedly, and Qi Panzheng stood beside her and said hatefully: "Why is the second sister so impetuous today, look at it, your writing is far worse than what she wrote a few days ago!" If that's the case, then I'm afraid that Huanxue will make people laugh! Xiaoyu bit her lip and did not speak.
She knew best in her own heart, she had been struggling all afternoon with why Bai Fu hadn't come back yet, and her writing was naturally messy and crooked.
Qi Pan pointed out a few places for Xiaoyu, asked her to continue her efforts, and went back to the room.
"Miss, this is for you!" After Bai Fu waited for only Xiaoyu and himself in the study, he took out a note from his sleeve.
Xiao Yu took a look, and it was Murong Hua's handwriting: "Look at the lantern night lantern", Xiao Yu was secretly happy, reached out and dipped the paper in the inkstone and dyed it with ink, and threw it aside.
In the past few days, Bai Rong has made a little progress with the embroidered orange, once the embroidered orange used the excuse of buying needlework and thread, and went out of the Hou Mansion through the back door, but went to the Hou Mansion's own needlework shop, but entered another shop.
