Chapter 199: For Whom Wind and Rain Stand Midnight (1) Add more to the cherry blossom dance
Staying here? Hearing this, Izuku refused without hesitation: "No, I have to go back." I am a widow and the head of the Yun family, and it is not appropriate for me to stay here overnight. ”
This answer seemed to be within Nie Peixiao's expectations, and he did not show too much disappointment. Izuku turned to look at the screen behind him and sighed: "But I'm afraid it's not appropriate to move for the time being, and I'll have to bother you in the house for a few days." I would come and see her every day. ”
Nie Peixiao nodded: "This is easy to say, don't worry, I will definitely send someone to take care of Danxin." ”
said so, but Izuku still didn't feel at ease and threw his heart here, and Shen Yu ...... Emperor Tianzhu is notoriously moody, if he thinks of something in the past few days, what should he do to cure Shen Yu's sins? Izuku wants to leave Bamboo Shadow behind, so that if there is any movement in King Cheng's mansion, Bamboo Shadow will also want to inform himself.
What Izumi never expected was that Shen Yu thought of going with him, but at this time, he heard him speak behind him: "It's really inappropriate for Mrs. Izumi to stay in King Cheng's Mansion overnight, it's raining heavily outside, I don't know if I can bother His Highness to send her back in person." Weichen and Bamboo Shadow will stay behind to take care of the light-hearted girl. ”
Personally? Izuku turned to look at Shen Yu in some surprise, and happened to collide with his gaze, and the latter added very cautiously: "I don't worry about others sending you." ”
Shen Yu stood in front of the screen, and the candle flame in the room was reflected in his face, casting a heavy shadow, sinking like a mountain peak and as deep as the sea. Suddenly bright and dark, I felt that my mind was at peace when I came out, and it was no longer the anxiety, sadness and guilt that Fang Cai had just had.
"Zi Feng is right, I don't worry about others sending you, or I'll send you off personally." Nie Peixiao immediately agreed, and asked Xiu again: "It's raining heavily outside, why don't you wait until the rain is lighter before leaving?" ”
Izumi looked at the heavy rain outside the window, and said helplessly: "Okay." "With such heavy rain, no matter how good the carriage is, I am afraid it will not be able to run.
Shen Yu's voice sounded in the room again, and he was saying to the slave through the screen: "Close the windows, don't let the house get damp and affect the sadness of your heart." ”
The slave whispered in response, and then walked quickly out from behind the screen and closed the window. The sound of heavy rain outside the window gradually died down as the window closed, and the atmosphere inside the room became dull and oppressive again.
Chuxiu turned around and glanced at the back of the screen again, before he instructed Shen Yu: "I will give you my heart." ”
Shen Yu nodded solemnly, did not say much, turned back to the screen and continued to heal Danxin.
Seeing this, Izuku also said to Nie Peixiao and Zhuying: "After all, it is inconvenient for the man to stay here, let's go out, don't disturb the heart to heal the wounds." ”
The three of them walked to the front of the corridor together, and the rain was loud and sassy, without any intention of stopping. Every now and then, a gust of night breeze blows, which will bring a trace of rain into the verandah, staining everyone's clothes and skirts, and even their faces are a thin layer of moisture.
There was a damp and fresh smell of rain floating in the air, which smelled good. The three of them said it was to watch the rain, but in fact it wasn't, but they had nowhere to go at the moment. Looking at the pouring rain, Chu Xiu suddenly remembered that the Emperor of Heaven had come, so he provoked the topic and asked, "The Holy One is still angry?" ”
Nie Peixiao sighed when she heard this: "The imperial brother should be angry, I owe it to me." I thought ...... He'll ask for Zihan. ”
"He agrees with the idea?" Izuku couldn't help but ask.
"Him?" Nie Peixiao reacted for a moment before realizing that Izuku was referring to Shen Yu. He sensitively noticed the change in Izu's mood, but he couldn't tell what kind of emotion it was, so he had to bow his head and man for a moment, and replied: "Zifeng has no choice, if you don't send that Zihan girl out, won't she want to pester Zifeng?" ”
Nie Peixiao remembered Shen Yu's embarrassed and helpless expression, and couldn't help but chuckle: "That Zihan girl is Zifeng's life-saving benefactor, but she doesn't do some hypocritical things...... That's why I was thinking about pushing her to the royal brother. The left and right Luan Shu are also hypocritical, and the two look alike, and now that Luan Shu is gone, she is not a kind of compensation in disguise. ”
"But apparently the Holy One doesn't appreciate it." Izuku began to get worried.
Nie Peixiao saw her frowning slightly, and she didn't hide her worry, so she also asked bluntly: "Are you worried that Zihan will pester Zifeng?" Or are you worried that the royal brother will take a fancy to it? Or are you worried that the imperial brother will blame me and Zifeng for this? ”
Izuku listened a little twisted, and was stunned before replying: "Both." ”
"Really?" Nie Peixiao had a vague expression on her face, and then said: "Actually, the imperial brother may not beg for lightheartedness, firstly, she is from Yunfu, and secondly, the imperial brother has not forgotten his feelings for Luan. I'm afraid he was just in a trance just now, and now he should be sober. ”
"I hope so." Izuku sighed again.
Nie Peixiao noticed the resistance in this tone, and frowned: "You don't like the royal family?" ”
Izuku didn't realize it, and only looked at the rain curtain outside the corridor: "At least I don't want to marry a royal family member lightly." seems to be high in wealth and prosperity, but in fact, it hides murderous intentions and is terrifying. She turned to look at Nie Peixiao, and then said: "Besides, with a calm personality, it is not suitable to enter the palace at all, even if she really enters the palace, she will not get a high position, and she will not be happy to be a stand-in for the rest of her life." ”
"What about you?" Nie Peixiao immediately asked, "Do you resist marrying into the royal family?" I'm talking about being a wife. ”
Nie Peixiao stared straight at Chuxiu, asking with an inquiring face, and her tone was so straightforward that she couldn't dodge. Izuku felt that she had said it clearly enough before, and she didn't want to repeat it, and she couldn't bear to hurt him again, so she pretended that the rain was too loud and didn't hear it, and opened her eyes and pretended to ask: "Huh? What did His Highness say? ”
Nie Peixiao knew that Xiu was looking for an excuse to avoid it, and she didn't repeat the question, but she didn't hide the injury on her face. He stopped talking, but also looked out of the rain curtain from afar, took out the jade flute he carried with him and played with it in his hand: "I haven't played with Mrs. Qinxiao for a long time, I don't know if there will be a chance in the future?" ”
Izuku smiled reluctantly: "When Danxin's injury improves, I will definitely play a song to thank you." ”
Nie Peixiao's expression softened a little, revealing a handsome smile. Before he could reply, he heard a report from behind him: "Your Highness." ”
Nie Peixiao and Izuku turned around in unison, and saw Feng Fei drenched in embarrassment, holding an oil-paper bag tightly in his arms. Nie Peixiao only then remembered that she had just ordered Feng Fei to find clothes for Xiu, so she asked him a little impatiently, "Why is it so long?" ”
Feng Fei wiped the rain from his face and replied respectfully: "It's true that there are no female dependents in our house, and the clothes of the maidservants are afraid of humiliating the lady...... He deliberately went out to buy a dress, but he encountered heavy rain on the way, and he came back late. ”
Feng Fei only said roughly, "I went outside to buy a piece of clothing", but Nie Peixiao also knew that there was no cloth village and the door was still open at this hour, and Feng Fei must have thought of a lot of ways. With such an analysis, Nie Peixiao couldn't get angry anymore, glanced at the oil paper bag again, and said, "You still know how to wrap it in oil paper." ”
Feng Fei smiled bitterly: "Even if the humble duty is damaged, you can't drench this clothes." ”
Nie Peixiao pulled out a smile, took the oil paper bag from Feng Fei's arms, and said, "You go down." If this garment does not fit properly, the king will punish you for your sin. ”
To say that is just a joke. Feng Fei bowed and retreated, and Nie Peixiao stuffed the oil paper bag into Chu Xiu's hand: "I don't know what Feng Fei's vision is, you can try it." ”
However, at this moment, Xiu's attention was not on this dress, but on Feng Fei's sentence "There are no female dependents in our house...... She remembered that Nie Peixiao had said that she would disperse the concubines in the house, so it seemed to be true.
"Why do you want to ...... Your Highness" out of Xiu couldn't hide her guilt: "You treat me like this, I really ...... There is no retribution. ”
Nie Peixiao smiled very calmly, deliberately misinterpreting her meaning: "Didn't you just say that you would play a song for me another day to express your gratitude?" Why do you have to go back on your word again? ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand at Chuxiu, and then smiled: "Go and change your clothes, you can't wear this one on you." Otherwise, if you go home for a while, let the next people see it, but you will lose the face of being a housewife. ”
Izumi looked at the black potion on her skirt and sleeves, as well as the water marks on the hem, and didn't refuse again: "Okay." ”
Nie Peixiao pointed upstairs: "There is still a bedroom on the third floor, I will ask the maid to take you up." ”
Izuku went upstairs with her, and after a moment changed her clothes and came down. I have to say that Feng Fei's vision is still extremely accurate, and the light green dress he picked is extremely fitting, very flattering, and the material is also comfortable, but it is ...... Light green again!
Nie Peixiao didn't think much about it, and when she saw Xiu Yingying coming down from upstairs, she dressed her green clothes beautifully, and blurted out praise: "Madam is really naturally beautiful." ”
Izuku lowered her eyebrows and looked at the light green on her body, and said tactfully: "I'm still used to wearing white." ”
Thinking of why Chu Xiu served white all year round, Nie Peixiao's smile was fixed on her face: "You are frightened tonight, go and rest for a while, and I will send you back when the rain is lighter." ”
"Well, there is His Highness Lao." Izumi bowed down and saluted.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, the sound of the rain outside suddenly became quieter, Nie Peixiao looked out and sighed with a smile: "The summer rain is really like a woman's temperament." ”
"How?"
"If you say it's cloudy, it's cloudy, and if it's sunny, it's sunny, without the slightest warning."
After speaking, the two laughed in unison. Nie Peixiao saw that the rain had turned to a drizzle, and no longer delayed, and said, "I ordered the subordinates to set up the car, and I will send you back." ”
Two oil-paper umbrellas splashed with ink slowly propped up in the rain, and Nie Peixiao and Izuku walked side by side towards the door of King Cheng's mansion, inevitably wetting their shoes along the way. For the sake of Izuxiu's reputation, and the lesson of the last time the two of them rode together, Nie Peixiao also understood the sense of proportion, and specially prepared two carriages, he and Izuxiu rode separately, one after the other, towards Yunfu.
The road slipped in the rain, and the carriage did not go fast, and when it arrived at Yunfu safely, the time had passed. The rain was still falling, but there was no lightning or thunder, and the rain was not as majestic as it had just been.
Nie Peixiao jumped out of the carriage first, walked to the other carriage very gracefully, and personally helped out of the carriage. The coachman immediately held an umbrella for the two, and Chuxiu took one and thanked Nie Peixiao: "Thank you so much tonight, Your Highness, it's too late, you can go back to the house and rest." ”
Although the coachman held an umbrella, Nie Peixiao's right shoulder was still soaked by the rain, but he didn't realize it, and his handsome eyes were shining: "I hope that one day, you can stay in Chengwang's Mansion all night, and I don't need to send you back." ”
Without waiting for Xiu to answer, he turned around and returned to the carriage.
In the sound of the drizzling rain, the two carriages of King Cheng's Mansion gradually disappeared, and only then did Izuku suddenly remember one thing-
Two years ago, in the same place, there was a concubine who gave Nie Peixiao a cloak on a rainy day. She remembered that the concubine said at the time that Nie Peixiao's right shoulder had been seriously injured in the battle, and every time it was windy and rainy, it would hurt terribly......
But he looked like he was as usual, and spent the whole night with her.
