Chapter 11: Keeping the Clouds Open and Seeing the Moon (3)
With a rustling sound, the black silk cloth slipped off the wall, revealing the portrait hidden behind.
The portrait depicts the handsome face of a young man with delicate brushstrokes.
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, his spirit was flying.
It seems to be still in the world.
Shangguan Hibiscus held three sticks of incense and bowed slightly in front of the portrait. She whispered with words in her mouth, "May you rest in peace under the nine springs." ”
Now the Great Wilderness is renewed.
Everyone in the world is looking forward to the new emperor's accession to the throne, but they don't know that the real Gu Xu has long been gone.
"It's so cute, Sister Xiaohan."
"Hurry up and move your chopsticks, Sister Xiaohan," Zhao Yan said gently, "If you are hungry, eat with an open stomach, this is also your home, you can eat as much as you want, don't be restrained!" ”
After a while, Cuizhu came over with two bowls of steaming fish fillet porridge.
However, in this dangerous situation, Gu Xu's bastard dared to risk his life and deliberately went to the Sword Pavilion to deliver food to Shi Xiaohan!
Shi Xiaohan immediately picked up his chopsticks and started a battle like a storm.
She couldn't help but start wondering: In Gu Xu's heart, who is heavier, herself or Zhao Yan? When he shares the bed with Zhao Yan, will he behave as gently and gently as he did last night? Also, in the face of Zhao Yan's feet, will he be equally in love with it......
Ziwei, a scheming old man, is like a skin ghost, wearing a young and bright skin, enjoying the admiration and worship of the world in the great wilderness.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhao Yan smiled lightly, restrained her true yuan aura, and came to Shi Xiaohan's side in a flash, gently grabbed her arm, and stopped her from saluting.
"What about Gu Xu? Will he also go to Kunyuan Hall together? She couldn't help but ask.
By the time the green incense burned out, she had already burst into tears unconsciously, and her light green clothes were wet and cold in the bleak autumn wind.
She had a sweet dream.
The night has never been so gentle in months.
She said with a look of satisfaction and emotion, as if the aroma of those delicacies still lingered on the tip of her nose.
Shi Xiaohan lowered her head, stopped speaking, and let Chenxi comb her hair into a high bun, decorated with big flowers and a golden hairpin - this is a common bun used by married women in the Great Wilderness, which is completely different from the fallen bun and hanging bun that she used to comb in the past, and has a little more mature and graceful charm.
Since Gu Xu held a wedding in Liangzhou City, Zhao Yan's figure has been like a lingering shadow, entrenched in Shi Xiaohan's heart for a long time.
………
Although Gu Xu was gentle and patient enough last night, when she got up today, she still inevitably felt a slight pain in her body, and she couldn't help but cry out.
In the drizzly kiss, Shi Xiaohan gradually lost his strength and fell on the bed softly.
The apricot eyes are blurred, and the cheeks are red.
Shi Xiaohan hesitated for a moment, let go of his hands, and then nervously grabbed the sheets at his side.
In addition, Ziwei has a magical magic weapon in his hand that can understand everything in the world.
She wiped away her tears, pulled up the quilt to cover her body, and fell asleep peacefully in Gu Xu's arms.
Zhao Yan's face was silent, but a sour feeling surged in her heart.
At this moment, Zhao Yan sat on the main seat belonging to the queen.
The makeup is delicate and the complexion is dignified.
To this day, those thrilling escape scenes, as well as Gu Xu's seriously injured and dying appearance, still flash in her dreams from time to time, making her break out in a cold sweat that she can't calm down for a long time.
The reason why Zhao Yan chose Cuizhu is quite simple: this girl is mediocre, dark and thin, and will not attract attention, let alone attract Gu Xu's attention.
She even specially asked Gu Xu about Shi Xiaohan's favorite dishes in order to prepare today's lunch.
Gu Xu is really a big villain, a big big villain!
"Miss, Mrs. Zhao wants to invite you to Kunyuan Hall for lunch today." When Xiaohan was dressed neatly, Chenxi bowed his head slightly and said to her respectfully.
"Just call me 'sister.'" Zhao Yan said with a smile, her charming fox eyes narrowed into a curved crescent.
"Mrs. Zhao?"
She wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, regained her cold, indifferent expression during the day, and re-covered the portrait of the boy with black silk.
At first, Shi Xiaohan was preoccupied with food, and answered Zhao Yan's questions about the living environment, cultivation progress, and sword practice quite perfunctorily.
Gu Xu was no longer around.
Cloudy black hair spread across the big red pillow.
On weekdays, she is always plain and unrestrained. The long hair fluttering in the wind is just like her character, unruly and eclectic.
In fact, she went to the Yanguo Mansion in Luojing City last night, stayed there alone, and only moved into the old queen's dormitory this morning, and instructed the maids to take care of it in a hurry, pretending that she had been living here all along.
Behind the rising heat, the boy in the portrait seems to move.
Shi Xiaohan's eyes drooped, his eyelashes trembled slightly, his slender waist writhed like an itch, and he couldn't stop muttering: "Gu Xu, you big villain." ”
The embroidered belly pocket fell to the ground.
However, when she woke up from her dream today, the reality was still cruel in front of her, forcing her to face it all.
While admiring Gu Xu, Shangguan Jin also envied their glue-like feelings.
Bright red silk, slippery from the girl's body, revealing slender shoulders and delicate collarbones.
She couldn't help but start wondering: In Gu Xu's heart, who is heavier, herself or Shi Xiaohan? When he shares the bed with Shi Xiaohan, will he show a different debauchery than usual? Also, in the face of Shi Xiaohan's chest and thighs, will he ......
Her hands were still clutching her bright red belly pocket, refusing to let go.
In the flickering candlelight, Shi Xiaohan sat on the edge of the fiery marriage bed, his arms unconsciously hugging the belly pocket on his chest, trying to stop Gu Xu's further movements.
The girl's feet are small and beautiful, like finely carved works of art; The skin is almost transparent, and you can faintly glimpse the light blue blood vessels; The toes are round and lovely, like white pearls, slightly curled up due to nervousness.
And today, this bad old man took Gu Xu's skin and went to the Sword Pavilion to pick up Shi Xiaohan. With his flamboyant tongue ability, Shi Xiaohan, a stupid girl who doesn't know the world, must have been coaxed by him.
She also didn't like Kun Yuan Palace.
The maidservants and the attendants brought the meals to the table, including whitebait sorrel, braised pork, steamed elbows, shelled and steamed crabs, etc., which were all delicacies that Shi Xiaohan loved at home in the past.
Shi Xiaohan was stunned for a moment before she realized that the "Mrs. Zhao" she was talking about meant Zhao Yan, Gu Xu's genuine wife.
No, there is no need to worry too much about this problem, Shi Xiaohan only has a large plain.
Shi Xiaohan was shocked by this aura, and was a little restrained for a while, clumsily bent his knees slightly, and bowed to her with ten thousand blessings.
But as soon as Zhao Yan mentioned the food in the Sword Pavilion, Shi Xiaohan's words box was instantly opened. She gushed and complained about the coarse tea and light rice in the Sword Pavilion, saying that it was simply not for people to eat, it was dry, and it had no taste at all. Speaking of excitement, she also waved her chopsticks from time to time, as if to demonstrate the unpalatable scene.
Zhao Yan listened carefully and nodded in agreement occasionally.
Ever since she witnessed the aura of heaven and earth condensed in Gu Xu's hands, Zhao Yan knew that her husband had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he was doing something as big as the world. If he succeeds, he will usher in a new era and become the greatest monk and king in the history of the Great Wilderness.
…………
"It's been a long time since I've seen you, I want to see you more."
But suddenly, the author of the book seemed to be drunk, let the hero die in a place that no one knows, and let a passerby A who appeared out of nowhere pretend to be the hero and take away the heroine's chastity.
But Gu Xu held her ankles tightly, making it impossible for her to dodge.
Gu Xu smiled, and was not in a hurry to launch the next round of attacks, but squatted down and gently took off the red embroidered shoes on the girl's feet.
Zhao ...... Queen, you ...... Are you ...... today? It's beautiful...... It's indescribably beautiful......"
She recalled that difficult days, Gu Xu was chased and killed by the Great Qi Imperial Court and forced to flee in all directions, life and death were at stake, and he almost lost his life several times.
Shangguan Jin wanted to pay tribute to the dead Gu Xu, but he could only do it secretly in the middle of the night, taking advantage of Ziwei's lascivious pleasure in the palace.
The more Zhao Yan thought about it, the more angry she became, and even Shi Xiaohan in front of her was a little unpleasant.
In such a situation, as his legitimate wife, she naturally can't cause trouble for him.
However, Zhao Yan did not show any displeasure on her face. She quietly used her divine sense to transmit the voice and gave an order to the maidservant Cuizhu.
In the Kunyuan Palace, Zhao Yan was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, holding eyebrow tweezers in her hand, and was concentrating on trimming her eyebrows.
She also did not dare to place an incense burner in front of the portrait.
Countless jumbled thoughts began to run wild in her mind, like a herd of wild horses galloping across the prairie.
A moment later, Shi Xiaohan, under the guidance of Zhao Yan's maidservant Cuizhu, walked into the Kunyuan Hall and came to Zhao Yan.
Shangguan Jin was both angry and disgusted by this.
By the time the candle burned out, the girl had burst into tears, and the bright red pillow was wet and soaked with the fragrance of incense under the roasting of the stove.
Gu Xu ...... Can you put out the candle first? ”
He repeated her name and kissed her lips, neck, and shoulders......
She stood still, holding incense in her hand, staring at the green smoke rising while silently telling her blessings to the deceased.
Shangguan Jin couldn't wait to draw his sword and hack the passerby to death along with the author.
She had slept in that bed for countless days and nights, but at the moment, she hated it for being too spacious.
It's a pity that in reality, that "passerby A" is staggeringly powerful, and he continues to improve steadily at an unimaginable speed. I'm afraid that in his lifetime, Shangguan Jin will find it difficult to find a chance to avenge the real Gu Xu.
Seeing Shi Xiaohan alone was a request that Zhao Yan took the initiative to ask Gu Xu.
"Don't be nervous."
"Sister Zhao, do you know? During that time, I was almost starving to death! Shi Xiaohan said vividly, "Fortunately, Gu Xu brought me a sack of food on the way to the northwest." There are fish cakes, pot helmets, steamed pork, spicy chicken, bean curd, and kebabs...... All my favorites! Thanks to Gu Xu's charcoal in the snow, I can survive in the Sword Pavilion......"
His eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes were blazing, as if he was teasing her weakness and incompetence.
Zhao ...... Sister Zhao. ”
Maybe it's because the girl is too young and nervous.
…………
After Zhao Yan's original personal maid Qiu Yan got married and left, Cuizhu in the cardamom years took over Qiu Yan's position and became Zhao Yan's new personal maid.
She has to do her best to be a good queen of the world, properly manage the affairs of the harem for him, live in harmony with other concubines, and ensure that he can deal with national affairs without distractions and no worries.
The maid Chenxi walked in with a new set of clothes, helped her get up, washed her body, and dressed up.
The red dress was as gorgeous as fire, setting off the white skin on her chest particularly dazzlingly; The aura that belonged to the peak cultivator of the Sixth Realm inadvertently emanated and permeated the entire hall.
It's like reading a script-
Although Shi Xiaohan and Zhao Yan had only met once on the day of the Luoshui Conference, Zhao Yan's radiant face and amazing marksmanship had left a deep imprint on Shi Xiaohan's mind, and every time she thought about it, she was a little ashamed.
When she was in love last night, she seemed to have forgotten Zhao Yan's existence for the time being.
"Why?"
"Nope." Gu Xu admired the charming scenery in front of him and said resolutely.
Zhao Yan is actually not keen on dressing up.
The next day, Shi Xiaohan slept until the sun was shining three poles. When she opened her eyes, her stomach was already rumbling.
Gu Xu's hands then climbed up, grabbed the girl's shoulders, and hugged her in his arms.
In the process of dining, Zhao Yan looked for topics from time to time, and asked about Xiao Han's life in the Sword Pavilion with concern.
They sat face to face at each side of the table as they talked.
"Why be so nervous? I'm not a man-eating ghost, so I won't do anything to you," Zhao Yan gently took Shi Xiaohan's hand and led her to the dining table on the other side of the hall, "Besides, it's always called 'queen' and 'queen', how unfamiliar." In this palace, we are a family like sisters, and we don't have to see each other so much. ”
As soon as Chen Xi mentioned the word "Mrs. Zhao", the messy thoughts in her head began to stir up again, like a flock of birds chirping non-stop.
In the light of the candlelight, the petite body was as white as goat's milk.
"Xiao Han, Xiao Han, Xiao Han......"
Chenxi shook his head: "The emperor has other important matters to deal with. The ascension ceremony is imminent, and he is going to slaughter a few 'fierce gods' as sacrifices. ”
Gu Xu grabbed her feet in his hands and gently stroked her delicate and smooth skin.
…………
Today, she is wearing a fiery red full-breasted skirt with a low neckline, revealing the fair skin on her chest; The long black hair was pulled up high and combed into a delicate flying bun, which was embellished with gold and jade hairpins, revealing a kind of national color and heavenly fragrance.
Seeing Zhao Yan preparing so many dishes she usually loves so intimately, Shi Xiaohan's heart was a little moved, and she couldn't help but feel a little closer to this "Sister Zhao".
The feeling of a burst of electricity rushing through his body made Shi Xiaohan instinctively want to retract his feet like a cat with his tail stepped on.
"Miss Shi, I haven't seen you for a long time," she smiled and said softly, "Look at your complexion today, it's really good!" ”
In the early stage, the hero and heroine were childhood sweethearts, and the two were in love, and they were a pair of fairy couples who worked together to slay demons and eliminate demons.
In front of Zhao Yan, Shi Xiaohan stammered, very stupid, and did not have the smoothness and neatness of the past "business blowing" with Gu Xu.
"That'...... So what shall I call you? Shi Xiaohan asked.
Their bodies overlapped, whispering each other's names.
Doesn't he really take his life seriously!
It's just that last night, when she was lying alone on the familiar big bed in the Yanguo Mansion, she still inevitably felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
The girl was thinner than he had imagined, and a little awkward to hold; is also more youthful than he imagined, so his movements are a little less wanton than usual, and a little more gentle.
The porridge is as white as clotted fat, delicate and smooth, exuding a rich aroma.
Cuizhu first handed one bowl to Shi Xiaohan, and then respectfully brought the other bowl to Zhao Yan, and said:
"Madam, this is a fish fillet porridge carefully boiled by the imperial chef, nourishing and nourishing the body, drinking it will definitely be of great benefit to the little prince or princess in your womb."
As soon as the words fell, Shi Xiaohan, who was sitting across the dining table, was stunned for a moment, and his mind was blank.
