Chapter 12 Love is presumptuous Love is restraint
Duan Yixuan froze, and he had no experience in men and women, and he couldn't figure it out at all.
Don't you dislike his bad skills? But obviously she enjoyed it too, and she also reached out to hook herself!
Duan Yixuan wanted to open Chu Leyan's futon several times and see her expression clearly, but Xiao Nizi in the quilt pressed the futon with her body and was about to fight him to the end.
In fact, the little man in the futon was so ecstatic that she had to suppress herself so that she would not laugh wildly, and her body even trembled with excitement.
No one knows how long she waited for Duan Yixuan to take the initiative to marry her, it was like a dream.
Fortunately, the remaining shred of reason made her suddenly think of Xia Qingyi's entrustment: Your brother Duan is an old antique and brainless, and he has always only thought and dealt with problems in a conventional way, and he is extremely disgusted with frivolous and debauched behavior. So thinking of her uncontrollable initiative just now, she subconsciously regretted it, but she didn't know how to remedy it, so she could only temporarily avoid it to calm herself down.
When the imperial doctor followed Xia Qingyi to come, this strange atmosphere was maintained in the room, Xie Mingyi only raised his eyes to look at Duan Yixuan, who was standing with his head bowed in front of the window, and the towering futon on the bed, and hurriedly walked to the bedside, lowered his head, and respectfully asked for instructions.
"Minister Xie Mingyi came to check the princess's pulse!"
As soon as the words fell, a white-flaged jade bi slipped out of the futon, obviously not wearing obscene clothes, which made Xie Mingyi's eyes quietly slip a trace of surprise, but it was quickly covered.
He opened the medicine box as usual, took out the silk scarf, and began to check the pulse through the handkerchief.
Half-loud, shaking his head, he said without hurry.
"The princess is drowning, which caused the cold to enter the body, and it should be no big problem to wait for Weichen to open a few prescriptions to drive away the cold!" As he spoke, he leaned over to the table as he cleaned up.
Xia Qingyi, who was on the side, hurriedly put the jade arm exposed to the air back and cleared her throat.
"Please don't spread today's events to the princess's reputation, and the concubine and the emperor also ask the imperial doctor not to make a noise."
Xie Mingyi's action of writing the prescription suddenly paused, how could he not know what to say and what not to say if he could achieve the position of the head of the hospital.
Even if Xia Qingyi didn't confess, he would never spread the medical diagnosis cases of the palace ladies and princesses. But if the emperor sent someone to ask, and he still helped to conceal this situation, it would be a crime of deceiving the king, and he would destroy the whole family, and he would never be able to bear the consequences.
Besides, he had also heard a little about the two people in this house, this great opportunity to force the Duan family to marry the princess, how could he keep his mouth shut, did this maid not understand her master's mind, and he didn't know how to reply for a while. Dense beads of sweat dripped from his forehead unconsciously.
He looked at Duan Yixuan, but the other party didn't even look at him, looking detached from the world. I really don't give a way to live, but here are some hints!
Xia Qingyi saw that the imperial doctor was just looking at Duan Yixuan, and she didn't dare to make a noise. With a roll of his eyes, he put his hand into the futon and pinched Chu Leyan's delicate skin hard.
I heard a scream, "Ah! The sudden burst of shouting immediately stopped again.
In an instant, the two inquiring eyes looked at the side of the bed together, Xia Qingyi hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to be nothing, but she secretly complained in her heart, but fortunately, she finally heard the voice she hadn't heard for a long time.
"Imperial Doctor Xie, didn't you hear what this princess's maid said, or do you want to resist the decree!?" Chu Leyan raised his voice, and his tone was obviously impatient.
Frightened, Xie Mingyi hurriedly got up from the chair and knelt straight in the direction of the bed.
"The minister doesn't dare, the minister obeys the order, as long as the emperor's concubine doesn't ask, the minister will never reveal half a word!"
Xie Mingyi's sentence is very mysterious, on the surface it says that he will obey the order, and the meaning of the second half of the sentence is the point, so he won't say it if he doesn't ask, but if he asks, he didn't promise to help hide it.
You came and went in the room, as if you had completely ignored that there was also a Duan Yixuan, and this feeling made him very uncomfortable.
From the moment he proposed to go to the emperor's side to ask for an order, her reaction was incredible, and now Chu Leyan's instructions to the imperial doctor like this faintly hinted at this thing: that is, she didn't pay attention to what happened between them, and she didn't even want to have anything to do with him. This realization frustrated him.
He suddenly felt that Chu Leyan, who had been chasing behind him all day before, was so cute, at that time, Chu Leyan was full of eyes only him, and he didn't cherish it, thinking of this, there was a trace of bitterness in his heart.
Xia Qingyi took in his emotions and knew that if he worked harder, he would be able to achieve it. Then he spoke again.
"Is there anything else that Lord Duan needs to tell you? If there is no slave or maid to grab the medicine, just send the adult out. ”
Even her girl dislikes herself and helps her master drive herself away. Duan Yixuan sneered.
"Since the princess is fine, the minister will go back and start preparing for the master's birthday banquet, and the minister will retire," he said, bowing his hand and putting away the record file on the table outside the house. "Hurry away.
Seeing Duan Yixuan's expression, Xie Shuyi was afraid that the princess would be angry with him, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated.
The room fell silent all of a sudden.
"Sister Xia, why? Why didn't you tell your father and mother, you don't know, it was Brother Duan himself who said that he wanted to ask his father and emperor in the palace to give him a marriage? ”
Chu Leyan turned down the quilt violently, sat up, and shouted aggrievedly.
She was really going crazy, but she also knew that the other party was for her good, and she must be planning something for her to have a good time.
It's just that in her eyes, today's experience of being alone in the same room is not to reveal her situation to her father and mother, even if you don't say that you have a skin-to-skin relationship. The marriage between himself and Duan Yixuan is a sure thing.
Xia Qingyi, who was taken aback by her actions, hurriedly approached, pulled up the quilt to cover her bare skin, and then forcibly pressed her back with her whole person, and said angrily.
"But you said you want to be a couple for his whole life?"
Chu Leyan bit her lip, her eyes were full of tears, and she nodded solemnly, Xia Qingyi couldn't bear it when she saw this, and her tone became soft.
"So do you want him to marry you because he looks at your body and feels sorry for you, or does he marry you because he really likes you and loves you?"
Chu Leyan never seemed to have thought about this problem, her lifelong wish before was to marry into the Hou Mansion and become Duan Yixuan's wife.
Xia Qingyi saw her thoughtful and continued.
"We have worked hard for so long to make him really fall in love with you, and then the union of your two feelings is not for him to be forced to marry you home by rumors and courtesies."
Chu Leyan nodded as if he didn't understand, and then seemed to think of something,
"In that case, what is today's game?"
"You Brother Xuan is so wooden, you look like a chick!"
"Hinata? What do you mean? Chu Leyan was stunned again, and his big curious eyes stared at Xia Qingyi without blinking, bent on breaking the casserole and asking to the end.
Xia Qingyi couldn't help but roll her eyes, does she have to say it so clearly!?
"Anyone who has never eaten honey knows how sweet it is, and he has to be given a chance to try it so that he can fall in love with it. You said no? ”
Xia Qingyi cupped her face as she spoke, and hooked Chu Leyan's chin with her right index finger, which was full of teasing.
Chu Leyan's face was flushed by her small movements, how could an ancient woman have heard such a stormy remark, but she felt that it was not unreasonable in her heart. So he looked at her with a look of adoration.
"Then Sister Xia, what are we going to do next?"
"What's next..." Xia Qingyi smiled evilly.
"We just have to wait and see."
Let's say that after Duan Yixuan returned home, he also held his breath, deliberately did not enter the palace to ask the emperor for marriage, and did not mention the matter of falling into the water to his family.
Since the princess didn't want to be involved with him, there was no need for him to be amorous and embarrassed.
It's just that the days go by, and there is no movement in the palace. It's as if it never happened.
Duan Yixuan couldn't sit still, although he could be busy preparing for the procurement and arranging the princess's birthday during the day, but every night, he would always think of the delicate figure dancing under the laurel tree that day, and gradually recalled the soft feeling of holding her in his arms.
These two completely different kinds of beauty stimulated his nerves, and over time, he even hallucinated.
The result of often staying awake at night is that he has accumulated deep dark circles under his eyes, and others who don't know think that he is busy preparing for the birthday banquet, only he knows how difficult this lovesick pain is.
So every time he was summoned to the palace, he would deliberately take a detour in front of Qionghua Palace, hoping for a chance encounter or being able to see her, but Chu Leyan was surprisingly quiet, as if the world had evaporated.
What Duan Yixuan didn't know was that his sweetheart was locked up in Qionghua Palace by Xia Qingyi, and he knew medicine and practiced martial arts every day, cultivating himself and cultivating his temperament, anyway, his every move would be reported to Chu Leyan.
This love game battle has already locked the battle situation because of Xia Qingyi's joining.
Like is presumptuous, love is restraint! Therefore, the short-term separation is for the sake of being together for a long time in the future.
Although Chu Leyan didn't understand the modern vocabulary that Xia Qingyi popped up from time to time, it didn't affect her trust in this Sister Xia to the core.
After surviving the irritability of the previous few days, and with the miserable and miserable situation of Duan Yixuan back and forth with the spies, Chu Leyan's mood became better and better, and she locked herself in the Qionghua Hall with peace of mind and began to rehearse Xia Qingyi's "Nine Whips Dance" choreographed for her.
However, in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, Duan Yixuan was lying on the round table in the garden pavilion, ignoring the eyes of people coming and going. Changing the usual steady and self-contained style, drinking glass after glass, as far as the eye can see, the empty cans of wine jugs scattered under his feet are piled up.
This was the only way he could find a way not to miss her and miss her, so every day when he returned from the next dynasty, he would bring back a dozen jars of aged spirits from the tavern. After entering the house, he went straight to his courtyard and poured himself wine. Because only by getting drunk can you fall into a coma and enter a dream. I can always see her in my dreams, and she still chases after him all day long as she used to, calling him Brother Duan with a smile!
Baozi was lying on the wall bored, he had been sent by Xia Qingyi to investigate Duan Yixuan's actions after entering the mansion for several days, but for a few days in a row, this man only did such a thing, which was very boring. It sat up and was about to call it a day and go back, but its little ears were alert to hear Duan Yixuan keep calling out a name in his mouth while he was half asleep.
I was overjoyed, and it was done!
Hurried back to Qionghua Palace, thinking about the steamed buns that invited merit, they worked hard to "perform" over and over again, but the two women couldn't understand the last "essence" for a long time.
The drunken part of the bun was already ready to be cooked: I saw it hold its paws up to the flask on the table, and immediately made a bowed head to drink, and then stood upright, supported only by its two hind legs, and staggered around them, and then fell to the ground.
It's almost exactly the same as a few days ago, but today the bun suddenly added a play, and the bun after falling to the ground suddenly pounced on Chu Leyan, rubbing her skirt while meowing non-stop, Chu Leyan looked at Xia Qingyi blankly, and the two looked at each other without knowing what to do.
The desperate bun finally jumped on the box behind the screen in a flash of inspiration, and his limbs were all in large letters, and he didn't move, Xia Qingyi suddenly understood.
"Baozi should be saying that Duan Yixuan misses you, and the meaning of meowing while holding you must mean that he is still calling your name even though he is drunk!"
Wow, the case has been solved!
