Chapter 11 Trying to Catch the Dead
In recent days, Chu Leyan has always appeared in front of Duan Yixuan's eyes from time to time. For example, on the way to wake up his father in the morning; On the way out of the palace under Duan Yixuan, she walked lightly, swaying, turning around and walking, without worrying. rehearsed more than 100 unexpected encounters in advance, just for the moment of actual combat.
can obviously be full of joy, and he can't help himself, but he has to pretend that he doesn't care, and over time, Chu Leyan almost collapsed.
"Sister Xia, how long will you have to wait?" Chu Leyan followed behind Xia Qingyi, following in the same direction, chattering non-stop, playing with his hair with one hand, wrapping it around his fingers and then letting go, and so on. In order to dissipate the anxiety in the bottom of my heart.
It's just that the person in front of him made an emergency stop, and Chu Leyan didn't have time to react and bumped into it directly, and his forehead immediately turned red.
"Ouch, it hurts to death in this palace" Chu Leyan screamed,
Xia Qingyi finally turned her head to look at Xiao Nizi, and saw that she was as impetuous as ever, and she was a little displeased.
"Are you familiar with the acupuncture point map, how many acupuncture points are there in the human body?"
"Fifty-two single acupoints, three hundred and nine double acupoints, fifty meridian foreign acupoints, a total of seven hundred and twenty acupuncture points."
Chu Leyan replied with kindness, and a hint of approval flashed in Xia Qingyi's eyes, and she continued to ask.
"Are you familiar with Baihui, Fengchi, Sun, and Lieqing's major acupoints?"
"Uh-huh. Sister Xia rest assured, she is already familiar with it, but these things are very boring, what is the use!? Chu Leyan pursed his lips and replied with some complaints.
"It is useful, since the person you like is good at martial arts, you learn the method of medical acupuncture, and you will always be helpful in the future. Besides, there is no shortcut to learning this matter, and you need to know the accumulation in order to flourish. Xia Qingyi flicked the herbs on her body and persuaded her earnestly.
But Yu Guang found that Xiao Nizi was not listening at all, and sighed helplessly--- after all, she was still too young to listen to good words!
Anyway, I found a stone bench and sat down, and changed the subject.
"Little girl, is your birthday coming soon?" Xia Qingyi took a long time.
"Well, on the tenth day of the first month of next month, my father said that he would take care of the palace, what, Sister Xia wants to give the palace a birthday gift?
Obviously, this topic attracted Chu Leyan's attention, and his eyes lit up.
"Guess?" Xia Qingyi sold Guanzi. But he didn't reply to her directly, just continued.
"What do you mean by coming here to do a good job!?" Xia Qingyi's eyes turned in her sockets, her fingers tapped the table rhythmically, and then she looked at her with blazing eyes.
Chu Leyan was inexplicably looked at by her.
"Well, what's wrong? It's going to be a good job for the palace! β
Xia Qingyi sighed lightly, looking disgusted with hatred of iron but not steel.
"Who should be delivered? Diehard!!! β
"Oh!!" Chu Leyan finally reflected, and she was so listless that she suddenly stood up straight.
"How did Hongu not expect it! The Ministry of Rites must have come to ask about the banquet in the palace, but γγγγγγ As he spoke, he sat down again, and his little hands restlessly wrapped around Xia Qingyide's waist from his back, shaking vigorously, and said coquettishly.
"Then this palace can summon him justifiably, right? But what does this palace have to prepare, Sister Xia?"
Xia Qingyi didn't eat this, turned around and put her backhand on her shoulders, suggesting that she be quiet/
"Well, there is progress, remember to keep this shyness and gentleness on your brother Xuan. In this way, tomorrow you go to your father's side first and ask him to give you an order, and Xuan Duan Yixuan will come to Qionghua Palace to see you. β
"And then?"
"Wait for the fish to take the bait!"
Sure enough, three days later, when Duan Yixuan received the palace's holy decree to summon him to the palace, he was a little stunned. Although he is also up to the task of being the only son of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, it is just that the general palace banquet will not be directly assigned to him when his father is in good health, coupled with the strange and flattering smile of the eunuch who announced the decree, it can't help but make people think about it.
"Duan Gongzi, let's go with our family," Father-in-law Zhang reminded Duan Yixuan when he saw the stunned Duan Yixuan.
As a celebrity around the emperor, he sees the little princess's thoughts about Duan Yixuan in his eyes, but he is just an errand in the palace, and he must be tight-lipped about his master's words and deeds.
Follow Gonggong Zhang through the palace, to Qionghua Palace, every step of Duan Yixuan is dazed, the childish little chubby dun followed him all day long, the arrogant and domineering temperament really bored him, but out of the courtier's respect for the heavenly family, he could not show it on his face, he could only meet it every time, and used the excuse to avoid.
But these few times I met Chu Leyan, I always felt like a different person. didn't pester him anymore, EMMM, and his appearance seemed to be a lot more delicateγγγγγγ
Duan Yixuan was reminiscing about the past, but the voice of the eunuch guarding the Qionghua Palace pulled him back to reality, he adjusted his mood, took a few deep breaths, lifted the placket with his left hand, and stepped into the door nervously.
This time, it was not as usual that there were palace maids to greet him, he walked a long distance alone with his memory, and he saw a girl in the garden whose eyes were like autumn water, pointing like an orchid, and she was standing in the courtyard and dancing with a whip.
Her three thousand green silk was gently pulled up with an inconspicuous pink ribbon. Dressed in a white palace dress, holding a nine-section long whip, whipping through, Xi Xi Shengfeng, her movements are fast and powerful, flowing water, the posture is wonderful and seems to be better than the body, attacking the single laurel trunk actually makes the pieces of orange and red petals fall down, and the delicate figure in the flying flowers in the sky is beautiful.
Duan Yixuan was already fascinated by it, but he heard a familiar whisper.
"Lord Xuan is here, it's for the birthday banquet of this palace! Please wait a moment. β
As he spoke, he smiled at Duan Yixuan, took the maid's handkerchief, and skillfully wiped the fine beads on his forehead.
"When did the princess start martial arts?" Duan Yixuan hesitated again and again and finally asked,
Chu Leyan stopped the movement in his hand, suppressed the excitement surging in his heart, and looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, for a long time, his thin lips opened lightly.
"On a whim!" Then he said no more. Turn away.
Duan Yixuan didn't expect to wait for this answer for a long time, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he followed the maid through the winding path and arrived at a courtyard.
There is a wooden house in the courtyard, with paper, pens and tea on the stone table in front of the house, and a hot spring pool with a white marble bottom in the center, which is separated from the sight of the stone table to the hot spring by a screen.
This is the rumored immortal pool, the only hot spring in the Great Chu Palace, which flaunts the unique favor that the Emperor of Southern Chu gave to this little princess, and also represents the importance that the Emperor of Southern Chu attaches to her mother Dong Huan and the princess.
At this time, Duan Yixuan was sitting in front of the stone bench, holding a wolf's hair, behind the screen, there was an occasional splash of water, Duan Yixuan swept the clothes scattered outside the hot spring pool with his residual light, and the picture of the wonderful person just now not soaking in the pool floated in his mind. He shook his head, tried to suppress the distracting thoughts in his mind, and began to ask Chu Leyan one by one for the necessary materials for the birthday banquet.
Chu Leyan had a lot of fun alone in the hot spring pool, and according to Xia Qingyi's requirements, he had to remain dignified and reserved when facing Duan Yixuan, so in response to his inquiry, Chu Leyan simply used "quasi-playing" and "may" to deal with it. The crisp and playful laughter was mixed with one, and two cold answers rippled in Duan Yixuan's heart.
Playing almost, Chu Leyan took out the brocade box that had already been prepared by the pool, took out the pill, threw it into his mouth, and then took a deep breath and slowly submerged his whole body in the pool, Duan Yixuan waited for Chu Leyan's last reply, but he didn't respond for a long time, and it was the same several times.
"Seven princesses, seven princesses! Anyone? Come! β
Duan Yixuan, who had not been waiting for a response, had a bad thought flashing in his mind, and he didn't care about the etiquette. Arrow steps came to the back of the screen, but there was still a figure of Chu Leyan, he hurriedly jumped into the pool to grope for the little man who had lost his trace. The temperature of the pool water was very comfortable, but Duan Yixuan didn't have the heart to enjoy it, he was so flustered that he couldn't breathe, and when he finally found a touch of delicate and gorgeous skin, he exhaled with relief.
Picking up the robe prepared on the shore, he quickly wrapped Chu Leyan and carried him into the house in three steps and two steps.
Xia Qingyi was wearing a maid's suit, listened carefully to the movements in the courtyard, and knew that it was almost time for her to play, trotted all the way into the room, knelt on her legs and threw herself on the side of the bed, twisted her thighs violently, and said with a crying voice.
"Princess, princess, what's wrong with you, princess, don't scare the slave?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he observed Duan Yixuan's position, stood up at the right time, pretended to check Chu Leyan's situation, blocked Duan Yixuan's sight with his body, and stuffed the pill into Chu Leyan's mouth like lightning.
"The seventh princess has fallen into the water, go and ask the imperial doctor!" Duan Yixuan couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he saw that the little palace maid in front of him could only howl, and his tone unconsciously became a little heavier.
What a divine help!! Xia Qingyi sighed secretly, and hurriedly replied:
"Okay. The slave maid will go now, please Lord Duan take care of the princess, if the situation is critical, please ask Lord Duan to cross the princess first! With that, he ran out of the house.
Ferry !! Duan Yixuan was shocked, he didn't have any other thoughts about the critical situation just now, but now the hands that hugged her were trembling, if he wanted to cross the air, wouldn't he γγγγγγ His handsome face was hot, and his mouth was dry.
To be honest, he really didn't expect that things would be unreasonable until now because he was in the middle of it. No one's courtyard, a sudden fall into the water, a strange maid. If it was usually the princess's personal palace maid guarding the princess, it would be more appropriate for him to pass on the imperial doctor, but now it was so strange and abnormal, but he didn't notice it at all, and all his body's energy was focused on whether to cross the qi for Chu Leyan.
In this dynasty with conservative folk customs, everything Duan Yixuan has done today has gone beyond the etiquette that men and women abide by, if it is spread out, the name of this little princess will be completely ruined, unless he marries her, even if he is the emperor's daughter, she will inevitably be criticized by her husband's family for being someone else's marriage. Thinking of this, he actually had a hint of joy, and he married her in a big deal!
Paying attention, he bent down to cover his lips as if he had just woken up from a dream, and slowly transmitted his breath to the person on the bed.
Chu Leyan's eyes were closed, she had already woken up when Duan Yixuan came up after taking the antidote, but she didn't dare to move, suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and quietly felt this warmth.
Finally, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue and lick Duan Yixuan's lips lightly, the other party's body was obviously stiff, but she immediately responded to her warmly, her warm tongue greedily grabbed the breath that belonged to her, and explored every corner vigorously,
Chu Leyan, who was thrilled by the kiss, didn't know when he put his hand around Duan Yixuan's neck, making the two of them closer, until they were out of breath before letting go, looking at each other at close range, Chu Leyan thought of what she had just done, and immediately closed her eyes shyly, only the slightly trembling eyelashes could reveal her thoughts.
Duan Yixuan looked at the shy little man and only felt that something was spreading in his heart, he put Chu Leyan's outstretched little hand back into the futon, and carefully covered the surroundings with only one head exposed.
"If Her Royal Highness the princess does not give up, the minister will ask Her Majesty to ask for the princess tomorrow!"
After thinking about it, Duan Yixuan felt that he should still show his attitude, but Chu Leyan, who didn't want to hear this, directly covered his head with a futon, and the whole person shrank into the quilt.
