Chapter 154: Red Apricot Out of the Wall
The moon hung in the sky, hazy, as if a layer of mist like milk and smoke had gathered. The faint moonlight sprinkled on Mu Xuefu's body through the window, bright like a light cloud covering the moon, fluttering like the flowing snow of the wind.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" When Jing Rong walked to the door, he looked at Mu Xuefu who looked up at the bright moon, under the moonlight, her beautiful face was crystal and snowy, fairy and jade, like a fairy concubine. The heartbeat unconsciously accelerated a little, and even the breath was involuntarily restrained, as if as soon as the sound came out, the person in front of him would feather and fly away. It wasn't until she turned her eyes to look at herself that she woke up like a dream, with a gentle smile on her face, and moved to Mu Xuefu's side and hugged her in her arms, "What are you looking at?" ”
Mu Xuefu leaned on his shoulder, her eyes were as calm as the sea, extending to the bright moon in the sky, she hooked her lips, smiled, and said in a manly voice: "Look at the moon, do you say that there is really a Chang'e Jade Rabbit in the Moon Palace?" It must be very cold and lonely on the moon, and Chang'e is really pitiful, alone with only one rabbit. ”
"I really don't know if there is Chang'e Jade Rabbit in Guanghan Palace, but if there is, this king thinks that she is not pitiful, and the person who is really pitiful should be Hou Yi." Jing Rong smiled lightly and followed her gaze to the moon. The moonlight is soft, light and even, like silk, and there is a layer of clear silver around it, like a mirror, like a condensing pool. He leaned against the top of Mu Xuefu's hair and deeply smelled the scent of the lotus emanating from his hair, "Hou Yi didn't even become an immortal for her, and she, selfish, secretly ate pills, although she became an immortal, she suffered from loneliness." And all of this is her own fault, and she can't blame others. Obviously, there is a man by her side who gives her warmth, but she is not rare, what if she becomes an immortal? It's not like spending eternity in the cold Guanghan Palace. ”
The slender and thick eyelashes trembled slightly, Mu Xuefu smiled unnaturally, and the smile on the corner of her mouth contained a touch of bitterness, "What the prince said is right, it is Chang'e who has lived up to Hou Yi's affection, she deserves to be alone in the Moon Palace, and she will be lonely forever." ”
The wind blows, the window lattice trembles, blows the branches of the flowers and trees, makes a rustling sound, and the cool breath of the night wind blows the hall, like the autumn rain transiting, and the autumn mood is getting stronger.
Jing Rong got up and closed the window, and then picked up Mu Xuefu and walked to the mattress. The candlelight in the room is swaying, the soft light is like brocade, and the light veil through the jade curtain slowly flows on the red quilt of the mandarin ducks playing in the water. The layers of gauze curtains are like the floating sepals in the flowers, the mandarin ducks on the quilt are like lotus flowers frolicking on the shallow pond, and the colorful colors of a room are beautiful in the soft and heavy hanging brocade curtains.
"You are not Chang'e, you will not live up to this king, and this king is not Houyi, I can't bear to let you be lonely." The two of them lay side by side, Jing Rong held Mu Xuefu's hand, his hand was so large that it almost wrapped her hand completely.
Mu Xuefu rolled her eyes, looked at him with a burning look, called "Yuchen", and threw herself into his arms.
The red wax swayed, and the tears of the candle slipped softly from the top, dripping on the candlesticks of the emerald cranes, condensing into coral cream. A few bits of starlight coming in through the window were also softened by the ordinary red candles.
On the other hand, the dim candlelight sprinkled on the side face of the Fuzheng woman, reflected on the snow-white wall, she glanced at the maid beside her with a faint gaze, "You can really see it, is that woman really a beautiful girl?" ”
The maid nodded, and the willow leaf raised her eyebrows slightly, faintly disdainful, "The slave maid really looks at it, it is the flower side concubine." I didn't expect this Hua clan to be so cheap, and even the guards hooked up, it was so shameless. usually pretends to be affectionate to the prince, and as soon as the prince is not in the house, he immediately raises Han and steals people. Moreover, she is really bold, now that the prince is back, she still dares to cheat outside, and she is not afraid of being found out and dipping her in a pig cage. Her eyes lit up, her eyes widened as she looked at the woman who stroked the kite, and blurted out: "Master, do you want us to tell the prince about this, so that the prince can cure her crimes." ”
The woman's fingers slipped, hooked the strings of the zither, and the sound of the zither tinkled like a ring bell, like a ring ringing bell, like a mountain stream and a spring. She lightly took the sarcasm of the maid into her eyes with a slight hint of inexplicable joy, and said slowly: "No need, how can the prince believe it without evidence?" After a pause, she plucked the strings of the zither, trembling and slippery, like a torrential rain knocking on the steps, the Buddha drizzling rain caressing the tongs, the wind blowing the snow, and the breeze blowing the willows, the spirit is soft and melodious, melodious and wonderful." She is also a poor person, she has been in the palace for so many years, and she has always been superficial. Especially since the princess entered the palace, her scenery has also been deprived. Now, with such a caring man to take care of her, how can she not be tempted? ”
"The master can't help but have a good heart, but she is cheating on the prince behind her back! If we don't report it, the prince will find out about their adultery and affect the pond fish, maybe it will affect us. The maid was puzzled and unconvinced, and raised her eyebrows: "Besides, she has been pressing on you for so many years, and the slave and maid have long been unable to stand it." Now is the good time to bring her down, how can the master let her go so easily? ”
The woman stopped her hand, raised her eyes, and the cold color in her eyes flashed, like a meteor passing in the night sky in an instant, and said slowly: "There is no impermeable wall in the world, so why should we go to the prince to chew the root of the tongue?" The prince has always disliked the right and wrong of women in the back house all day long, if I go to say, then what is the difference between me and other women in the prince's heart? The corners of her mouth smiled slightly, as if it was a ray of warm sunshine in early spring, exhausting the coldness in the cold of spring.
The maid pursed her lips, no longer persuaded, and only said, "What the master said is very true. ”
The woman looked at the osmanthus branches floating by the window, and her mouth hooked, like a light cloud, the wind together, the clouds scattered, turning into thousands of silver drops, and they fell.
Autumn is rich, cool breezes and fallen leaves return to their roots, rendering the earth golden colors. Everything is sluggish, the fragrance of flowers is gone, only the lotus flower in the garden is undefeated in all seasons.
The lotus flower is delicate, the lotus leaves are flexible, through the deep water and the fresh beauty, the fragrance is far and clear, and the lotus is delicate, such as a sea of flowers.
Mu Xuefu sat alone on the swing, gently kicking the fallen leaves on the withered yellow grass one by one. She was dressed in plain snow clothes like the wind, swinging, and the pink hibiscus fell into the white clothes, elegant as the glow of the sun. There was a cool breeze blowing on her face, blowing the emerald green between her temples step by step, and the lotus jade was shaking, crossing the arc of the gorgeous reflux.
His confused and dazed gaze fell on the sharp corner of the lotus flower, recalling the scene of being alone with Jingrong last night.
After dinner, Mu Xuefu insisted on painting the brush and sketched the large peony flowers one by one. The flowers are bright and eye-catching, intersecting with the green leaves, the petals are layered, the color is gradual, and the pink delphia is extremely delicate.
Jing Rong's arm was propped up on the long table of flowers and birds inlaid with snail tooth stone on the side, and from time to time he removed his gaze from the official fold and landed on Mu Xuefu's body, and the depths of his eyes were like a warm wind that wanted to ripen and bloom gently.
When Mu Xuefu finished painting, Jing Rong put down the fold, walked to her side, and pulled out the ink pen from her hand. The brush is softly filled with ink, and the inscription on the painting reads: "Famous flowers love the country." ”
The heavy curtain hangs low, and the fragrance of pear honey is ethereal from the peacock blue glaze secretly engraved unicorn copper incense burner overflowing with wisps of green smoke, as if the mist is frivolous, and like cotton wool. Jing Rong put down the pen and wrapped her arms around Mu Xuefu's waist, a light and warm breath, and the warm and moist lips fell on her shoulders and neck like flowers, "The peony country is beautiful and fragrant, and Xuefu is full of country and city." Today, the king has both, which is really a great blessing in life. ”
Mu Xuefu was tickled by him, "giggled" and laughed, stretched out her finger and pushed his forehead, and said coquettishly: "Peonies are always blooming, beauties are easy to get, the prince wants both, why wait until today." ”
Jing Rong touched his forehead, grabbed Mu Xuefu's hand, and kissed it on the side of his mouth, "Although the peony blooms often, it can't be as invincible as the flowers in this painting, and although there are often beauties, they can't be as beautiful as the king's Fu'er." ”
Mu Xuefu smiled, pulled out her hand around his neck, and said, "It's getting better and better at coaxing people." His eyes swept over the fold on the long table of Huanghuali, and he said casually: "Isn't King Ning in charge of Gyeonggi Wei now?" Why are you still so busy lately, you even have to take it back to your home for official business. ”
After Jingrong left, Jinggiwei has always been led by King Ning, and now that he has returned, Emperor Xuanwu has transferred Jingrong to the household department on the grounds that the post of the head of the household department is missing, and King Ning has the meaning of occupying the magpie's nest.
Although Jing Rong didn't say anything, as far as his gloomy face a few days ago was concerned, Mu Xuefu knew that he was very dissatisfied with Emperor Xuanwu's move.
Jing Rong glanced at the pile of half-foot-high official folds, took Mu Xuefu's hand and walked to the table and sat down, held her in his arms, opened a fold, and said: "In the first two months, there was no one in the household department, and many things were put on hold. He clasped the back of Mu Xuefu's head with one hand, lowered his head and kissed her red lips like a cherry, turned around in every way, and after tasting it carefully, he reluctantly left, caressing her face with his big hand, "Is it because this king is only busy with business these days and has no time to accompany you?" When this is over, this king will definitely accompany you well, okay? ”
Mu Xuefu wrapped her arms around Jingrong's waist, her fingers gently smoothed his back, her cheeks leaned against his chest, and she said coquettishly: "Yes, you are busy every day, I can't see your people anymore." I finally saw you today, and you are still busy with official business, do you think I blame you? ”
The hands that kept roaming on his back, coupled with this delicate little appearance, made people's hearts itch and unbearable. Jing Rong hugged Mu Xuefu, the more she looked at it, the happier she became, and she couldn't wait to swallow this bewitching little wife into her belly. Besides, he hadn't touched her for many days, and at this time, when she hooked her like this, the charming thoughts in his heart immediately came up. was about to relieve when he heard Zhou Cheng's untimely voice outside.
"Lord Wang, Xiao Shizi is here and is waiting in the study."
