Chapter 48: Showing Your Heart
His lips opened, and the negative remarks that Dong Xue wanted to blurt out were suddenly stuck, and Dong Xue's silence made Zuo Xiangfeng ecstatic, he really didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly, Dong Xue, who had been rejecting people thousands of miles away, could be so obedient today, which was really surprising.
After a moment of restraint, Dongxue's sanity gradually returned, she despised herself, pushed away Zuo Xiangfeng forcefully, lowered her eyes slightly, and said coldly: "I was just a little tired just now, this doesn't mean anything, don't get me wrong." ”
The arms suddenly emptied, so that Zuo Xiangfeng was also suffocated, and then looked at the winter snow, Zuo Xiangfeng smiled and said: "You are just hard-mouthed, what can you do if you admit that you care about me?" It's very tiring to live with a mask all day, but it's better to face each other with a true temperament, how about it? ”
"It's just a misunderstanding, and it doesn't mean anything. I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore, you ...... Take care! ”
Seeing that Dongxue turned around and was about to leave, Zuo Xiangfeng was in a hurry, stepped forward, and said hurriedly: "Why are you always like this, give a sweet date to eat, and then you have to slap it?" Going around to Dongxue, Zuo Xiangfeng said earnestly, "You have thrown yourself into your arms, how can it still be a misunderstanding?" Is it so hard for you to admit that you have me in your heart? ”
"I don't have ......"
"Don't say you don't have me in your heart!" Zuo Xiangfeng pressed his body against Dongxue, stared at her with a wrong eye, and said, "If you say that you don't have me in your heart, then I will die in front of you now!" ”
Hearing this, Dong Xue frowned and said coldly, "You're crazy!" Threatened me like a woman? ”
"I'm really crazy, if I'm not crazy, how can I keep liking you?" Zuo Xiangfeng smiled bitterly and said, "No matter what method you use, as long as it can make you see your heart clearly, I will try." ”
In the night, these amber eyes shone with a brilliance that she couldn't understand, making Dongxue want to dodge, but she wanted to get closer. Finally, Dongxue sighed softly and asked, "Am I worth it for you to pay so much?" ”
"Of course, you're the best girl in the world." Zuo Xiangfeng came back without thinking about it, looked directly at Dongxue, and said with a expression, "You are just used to using a cold mask to cover yourself and refuse the care of others. But your heart is not like this, you are kind, and intelligent, independent and resolute, but sometimes confused. I like all of you and hope to protect you and make you happy. Will you give me this opportunity to stand by your side? ”
Her lips moved, and Dongxue wanted to say something to refuse. But when the words came to her lips, she looked at Zuo Xiangfeng's sincere eyes, and felt that this was too cruel, and she should think of a tactful way to reject him. But after a moment of hesitation, Zuo Xiangfeng suddenly laughed into a cosmos, holding the winter snow in both hands, and said happily: "If you don't speak, just take it as a promise to me!" Dongxue, do you know how happy I am now? I seem to have the happiest man in the world, and I am the happiest man in the world! ”
Looking at Zuo Xiangfeng's happy appearance, those words of rejection were even more unspeakable, Dongxue didn't want to look at Zuo Xiangfeng disappointed. She didn't know what kind of state of mind she was, was it pity, or was she really moved? She didn't know, she really didn't.
However, Dongxue's confusion did not delay Zuo Xiangfeng's joy, and the situation of the two people was soon spread throughout the palace, and when everyone saw Dongxue, they would ask with a smile, "When will you drink the wedding wine?" ”
At the beginning, Dongxue could patiently explain that she and Zuo Xiangfeng hadn't reached that step yet. But later, there were more people who asked, and she didn't bother to explain again, so she simply responded with silence. But the more Dongxue wanted to dodge, the more strange the words that came out of the crowd became, and in the end, even the unmarried pregnancy came out, which made Dongxue angry and angry, and found Zuo Xiangfeng to clean him up first, and then complained to him for a long time, and finally had to do something for him to let those rumors disappear.
Zuo Xiangfeng was not in the palace, of course, he didn't know what the specific situation was, so he could only find Baili Lan and ask what was going on.
Looking at the left wind and winter snow, Baili Lan first sighed, and then said with a little reproach: "You two can't keep a low profile, and this kind of thing must be known all over the city?" ”
"Niangniang, these words are not passed on by us, there are too many people in the palace who chew the root of their tongues, and they need to be reduced!"
Dong Xue's eyes were full of murderous aura, but Bai Lilan said disapprovingly: "If you really attack these people, it will only make everyone feel that there is something unspeakable between the two of you." Rumors stop at the wise, but will the one who spreads the rumors be the wise? Now to solve the current predicament, you can only cheapen Zuo Xiangfeng and let him marry you as soon as possible! ”
"Mother, it's too hasty to make such a decision!" Dongxue hurriedly said, "You can't just let others spread the word indiscriminately, so you have to compromise us!" ”
"Your reputation has been ruined by this guy, what else can you do if you don't marry him? Although I am also very heartbroken for you to marry Zuo Xiangfeng, I don't feel worth it for you, but for now, this is the best solution. Otherwise, you can give me an idea and teach me how to solve it. ”
Her lips pursed, Dongxue looked very depressed, but for a while, she really couldn't think of any good way, so she could only look at Zuo Xiangfeng with hatred, and she hated to throw him out of the capital immediately and never come back!
For this suggestion, Zuo Xiangfeng was of course happy to see it, but he knew that Dongxue would never do anything against his will because of a few gossips from others, and now forcibly marrying her would only cause her disgust, so he would stay away from himself even more. It was not easy to get to today's situation, of course, Zuo Xiangfeng had to be cautious, so after noticing Dongxue's impatience, Zuo Xiangfeng said: "Otherwise, I will go out with Dongxue to avoid the limelight, and then come back when these rumors are gone?" ”
"I didn't do anything wrong, why did I leave like a thief?" Dongxue's voice coldly refused, and said, "Niangniang, we can't help this crooked trend. Rumors are worse than arsenic, we can't let this kind of atmosphere run rampant in the palace! If you want to make an example, see who dares to chew the root of the tongue! ”
Bai Lilan seemed to have a headache, rubbed her forehead and said, "It's the emperor's birthday banquet soon, everyone is busy, who has the time to deal with this?" If you don't want to marry Zuo Xiangfeng, then wait until the birthday banquet is over! ”
Although he was unwilling, seeing Baililan's tired appearance, Dongxue couldn't say anything, so he could only lean over and give a salute, and left the palace with Zuo Xiangfeng.
On the way to send Zuo Xiangfeng out of the palace, Dongxue has been very silent, which makes Zuo Xiangfeng a little uneasy.
Shaking his palm, Zuo Xiangfeng first showed a flattering smile, and then asked, "Are you still unhappy about this?" If you want me to say, there is no need to worry about these things, anyway, the purifiers will clean themselves, and let them go. ”
Stopping suddenly, Dongxue was full of resentment, and said angrily: "You say it easily, anyway, you don't have to be in the palace every day, accepting all kinds of colors!" ”
Rubbing his hands and laughing, Zuo Xiangfeng knew that he was wrong, and did not argue with Dong Xue, but just followed her and said: "You have learned the right lesson, it is indeed my bad." But the matter has come to this point, we can't change anything at the moment, it's better to endure for a few days first, and wait for the clouds to be light and light, how about it? ”
"What if not? Niangniang has been tired for the birthday banquet recently, how can I trouble Niangniang for such a trivial matter? Dongxue looked at Zuo Xiangfeng, the more she looked, the more angry she became, and finally she simply stretched out her hand and slammed Zuo Xiangfeng, and said in a vicious voice, "It's all you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have so many troubles now!" ”
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault, it's all my fault." Although Dongxue just wanted to hit casually and let out his breath, in fact, the power of a palm should not be underestimated, and Zuo Xiangfeng felt that his throat was sweet and sore. It's just that he smiled and suppressed all the discomfort, held Dongxue's with both hands, smiled and comforted her, "As long as you don't get angry, you can beat me as much as you want." Isn't this slap enough to relieve your anger, come, a few more hits, okay? Zuo Xiangfeng said as he held Dongxue's hand with his hand and hit himself.
Such a standard flirting quickly attracted the attention of the palace maid next to her, which made Dong Xue feel embarrassed, pulled out her hand vigorously, and said unhappily: "You are so boring!" After finishing speaking, Dongxue no longer paid attention to Zuo Xiangfeng, and just wanted to send this annoying guy out of the palace as soon as possible.
With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Zuo Xiangfeng looked at Dongxue's back, and suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction. Although the current Dongxue does not admit her feelings for herself, she is no longer as cold to herself as she was when she first met, but like an ordinary girl, she will also have joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and will blame herself. Such a living winter snow made Zuo Xiangfeng feel relieved, because he knew that Dongxue's heart was getting closer to him little by little, as long as there was enough time, Zuo Xiangfeng believed that one day Dongxue would be willing to stay by his side.

The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was Nangong Jingchen's birthday banquet. This birthday banquet is the first large-scale banquet after Nangong Jingchen ascended the throne, and it is also the first time that Nangong Jingchen has held a birthday banquet, so not only the officials and ministers in the palace attach great importance to it, but the powerful people who were invited to participate in the birthday banquet are also racking their brains, thinking about what congratulatory gifts to bring so as not to be rude.
Among the busy crowds, autumn frost can be said to be the most anxious.

In addition, Qiushuang also needs to be responsible for dealing with various emergencies, and if someone encounters something that can't be solved, she must immediately coordinate and solve it.
