Chapter 037: A Moment of Peace of Mind
A night of wind and snow, dawn and early sunshine.
Concubine Jin really came to see it in person in the morning as Yi Chenjing guessed, and saw that Bai Qige was lying quietly in the middle of the smooth and traceless snow, and she was quite satisfied, and she snorted coldly in front of the sedan car that passed by Jichen Xuan and left after "let people go", and she didn't notice the man who stared at her like ice behind the courtyard wall.
"Let's go inside." The eunuch guarding also couldn't bear it, and gently pushed Yu Che, who was about to cry, and Yu Che rushed into the courtyard with a thick cloak, and just touched Bai Qige, who was cold, and tears kept dripping like broken threads.
"Aren't you afraid that tears will freeze on your face......" The weak and trembling voice seemed to come from the ground, Bai Qige looked at the maid with tears in her eyes and surprise, and her unconscious hands were pressed tightly on the cloak, "Hurry back, I just want to drink a big bowl of ginger soup now." ”
Yu Che burst into tears and smiled, and hurriedly wiped a handful of tears and helped Bai Qige to walk out of the courtyard.
Sleeping all night in the open has already frozen Bai Qige, fortunately she is not really drunk, otherwise she will sleep like this for one night, I am afraid that now Yuche only has the job of taking care of the aftermath. Feeling no numbness in his feet, every step his knee hurts like a pinprick, Bai Qige bites his lip hard and endures it, not wanting anyone to hear his pain**.
"I'll come." The deep voice sounded softly in his ears, and Bai Qige, who was focused on the ground under his feet, raised his head in surprise, and was picked up by a blow as soon as he saw the handsome face. Yi Chenjing walked towards the wooden sedan chair with a calm face, and the battle court opened the sedan door, and a stream of heat rushed straight to Bai Qige's face.
Looking at the two steaming braziers in the sedan chair, Bai Qige felt both surprised and ridiculous, wanted to make a few jokes but didn't have the strength to speak, so Yi Chenjing could only get into the sedan chair and put her on the soft chair, bending over and turning the charcoal figure The cold air scattered. Yi Chenjing's appearance was a little unexpected by Bai Qige, as long as Yu Che came over to pick her up, no matter how he behaved and got close, it was impossible for him to gain her trust, so why bother?
This kind of wooden sedan chair in the palace is small and light, and the space inside is relatively narrow, and Yi Chenjing, who is tall, squats down and fiddles with the brazier for a while, making the sedan chair swaying left and right and not stable.
"What are you tossing about?" Bai Qige couldn't help but breathe.
"Nothing." Yi Chenjing sat back on the soft chair, was awkward and quiet for a while, and suddenly turned his head and swallowed, "Body, hands...... Is it still cold? ”
Try to lie outside for a night in the big winter, who said that it is not cold and it is definitely not a normal person.
Bai Qige didn't bother to reply, her eyes were half-closed and gradually became sleepy, but she didn't dare to sleep, the veterans said that most people who froze to death died in their sleep, and their body functions would feel sleepy due to the lack of blood supply caused by the cold.
If you fall asleep, there is a good chance that you will never wake up again.
But the eyelids were so heavy, everything around them was slowly darkening, and the cold, which was more terrible than the night, roamed the limbs and bones, and could not be driven away by all the spirits.
"Qi Ge...... Qige? Don't sleep, wake up ......"
The irresistible sleepiness was dispelled by another sound, Bai Qi's fans opened their eyes in a daze, and their slightly worried faces were extremely clear, and at some point, she was held tightly in Yi Chenjing's arms.
The burning charcoal occasionally made a popping sound, Yi Chenjing hugged Bai Qige, untied the ferret cloak and covered the two of them, held the frozen blue and purple hands in the palm of his hand with his wide palm, and hung slightly on the brazier from time to time to roast, and then passed the hot temperature to the hands that had long been unconscious.
The slight tremor of the warm body did not escape Bai Qige's sensitive notice, and he raised his eyes in confusion to look at it, and suddenly understood something when he saw the drops of water in Yi Chenjing's hair.
The weak voice was a little hoarse: "You waited outside all night? ”
"I'm just afraid you'll have an accident." Yi Chenjing pulled his cloak and wrapped Bai Qige tightly, "It's because I didn't think about it and caused you to be warmer?" ”
Bai Qige didn't answer, closed his eyes and leaned quietly on Yi Chenjing's shoulder, he didn't know where he ran away from the cold and sleepy, he was only tired but couldn't sleep.
He could have waited in the sedan chair or simply waited for news in the warm dust Xuan, was it because Dazhi Ruoyu had forgotten such a simple method, or had he planned to accompany her through the cold winter night from the beginning? Because he felt guilty, because he felt that she was being punished like this? This is not like the Yi Chenjing she knew, the twisted man who was bent on revenge and had tortured her and humiliated her many times.
She was cold all night, and he stayed with her all night, when she almost swore that she would never believe him again.
"You've changed."
Bai Qige sighed lightly.
If this is the case for Yi Chenjing, perhaps, there is still a glimmer of hope that she can deliver all her trust.
"I'll talk about those things later, don't you sleep yet, do you hear?" Yi Chenjing frowned, and his tone became more and more impatient.
"How can I sleep?" Bai Qige opened his eyes angrily, "What you are holding is a hand, not a mallet, with so much effort, you think I can't feel it?" If it weren't for the cold, I would definitely give you a slap in the face to let you know what pain is! ”
"When did you become so rude?"
If it weren't for the fact that his body was too weak to move at the moment, I really wanted him to know what real rudeness was. shrunk back, Bai Qige enjoyed the rare treatment of being taken care of, completely ignoring how Yi Chenjing was displeased and how he wanted to throw her out of the sedan chair.
If you can stay with you for a lifetime as an enemy, it will also be a good ending.
Su Yan arranged in advance, and the top and bottom of the dust Xuan were waiting for Bai Qige to come back, Yi Chenjing hurriedly hugged the frozen princess, and entered the house, and the two couldn't help but be surprised together.
Su Yan is even more exaggerated than Yi Chenjing, there are actually two stoves and six braziers in a bedroom that is not too big or small, except for the two husband and wife of the Seventh Prince who have just rushed back from outside and are still cold, almost everyone else is sweating and has a dry mouth.
The imperial doctor took Bai Qige's pulse before everyone breathed a sigh, it had been snowing last night, which seemed to be extremely unfavorable, but the heavy snow was not too cold, and Bai Qige had been curling up to minimize heat loss, and the three hours lying outside miraculously did not leave any sequelae, and it would be completely unhindered when he calmed down.
"Jing'er, don't let Xiao Yingge drink so much wine in the future. You are a husband, you have to take care of her and love her everywhere, even you don't cherish her, who do you let her rely on in this palace? You should have come back to me in that situation last night, although my mother has no status and power, but this old face still has some weight, and the most unfortunate thing is to beg the concubine for a few words, it is better than letting Xiao Yingge suffer such grievances innocently. Concubine Jing felt sorry for Bai Qige, and after entering the house, she kept counting Yi Chenjing, and her true feelings were not fake at all.
"Concubine Jing is distressed, how can Qige have any grievances? Last night I didn't know how to lose my temper, no wonder others. ”
"Jing'er, look at it, Xiao Yingge is still the same as before, even if you make a big mistake, I have to protect you, when do you know that you are worthy of her." Concubine Jing pretended to be angry and glanced at Yi Chenjing, and laughed again at the end, "I think you don't want to study any art of war in the study tonight, just stay here, let Xiao Yingge warm and sleep at night, and there will be no illness at all, listen to my mother's words, ah." ”
Concubine Jing knew that the two of them had only had sex together twice after they got married, and the meaning of the match was very obvious, but this kindness was bitter to Bai Qige - the memory of two nights of strong pet, Yi Chenjing left her with nothing but indelible pain. She stood up tenaciously with that hatred and obsession with wanting to protect the Bai family, although the relationship with Yi Chenjing was improving day by day, but she was still very resistant to the matter of Chenghuan under her.
She is not Yi Chenjing's woman, and he doesn't have the slightest love for her, how can he have the joy of ** and the joy of fish and water?
"Su Yan, Su Rao, help my mother go back to rest first, I still have something to say to Qige." Yi Chenjing diverted the topic and glanced at Su Yan, Su Yan understood, and instructed Bai Qige to leave with Concubine Jing after a few words.
When she came out of the house, Su Rao looked envious: "Your Royal Highness is so kind to Sister Qige, I heard that she almost hit Concubine Jin and the Crown Princess on behalf of Sister Qige last night, and she will only hurt her in the future." ”
"Su Rao, don't listen to people chewing the root of your tongue." Su Yan's face immediately sank, "I was there last night, could it be that you know more than I know?" What to do and what not to do, His Royal Highness has long been measured in his heart, when will there be a confrontation with Concubine Jin and the Crown Princess? If you dare to talk nonsense, be careful that I will rip out your ears! ”
Concubine Jing's face changed slightly, but she was inconvenient, so she only smiled stiffly: "Jing'er is still at ease when she does things." Rao'er is not in a hurry, Jing'er and Xiao Yingge have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and Xiao Yingge is newly married as a concubine, and there will be a period of affection. You have known Jing'er for a long time, and you should all know that he is not a merciless person, and he will definitely not fail the two of you. After a while, when everything is settled, I will persuade him to give you the truth of husband and wife as soon as possible, if you have another child, it will not be far from thinking about that good woman or something. ”
"Rao'er didn't complain, she just liked His Highness too much, and she always wanted to give her mother and grandson earlier, and her mother was not allowed to blame Rao'er." Su Rao's face was playful and straightforward, which made Concubine Jing forget her thoughts and smile.
"Dead girl, say anything, and don't be ashamed."
Su Rao blushed and chased after her, and the two sisters laughed around Concubine Jing, and the sound of giggles flew into the ears of the two people in the room.
"Su Rao is still young, don't think about it for the time being, Sister Su Yan, do you plan to stay in the cold like this forever?" Bai Qige looked out the window fixedly, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "The deceased is gone, no matter how sad you are, it is in vain, it is better to take pity on the people in front of you, and don't wait for no flowers and empty branches." ”
Yi Chenjing fiddled with the charcoal and didn't raise his head: "I promised Hongxuan that I would only recognize her as my wife in this life and this life." ”
"What about me?" Bai Qige blurted out, realizing that he had asked the wrong thing and was busy covering up, "I mean, what kind of identity should I be now?" Sooner or later, one day I will leave the dust Xuan and leave the distant country, how are you going to explain it to Concubine Jing at that time? ”
"There's nothing to explain, my mother will understand." Putting down the iron hook in his hand, Yi Chenxuan looked at Bai Qige, whose lips were purple, his eyes were as calm as water, "Whether it is Su Yan Surao or you, you will eventually leave the dust Xuan, and when I decided to live for Hong Xuan, this was irrevocable." ”
