Chapter 101: Moonlit Night
Zhan Xing and Zhao Yue observed the words and looks, and observed every expression on Hua Luo's face after she came back, and they knew that Hua Luo was at odds with the empress again.
"Ah Luo, are you quarreling with Your Majesty again?"
Hua Luo's face was expressionless: "She forced me to quarrel with her."
"Ugh." Zhan Xing sighed leisurely, "By the way, Ah Luo, the Qixi Festival is coming, someone has given you a gift, take a look."
Zhan Xing took two beautifully packaged boxes from Zhao Yue's hands, and Hua Luo casually took them over and opened one of the boxes, which was a pair of delicate and gorgeous earrings, each with a crystal clear, round and huge opal, which looked particularly good in the sun.
"This must have been sent by Xiahou."
Hua Luo took the earrings, and only Xia Hou knew her preferences best.
In fact, she never told Xia Houqian what she liked and didn't like, but Xia Houqian just knew everything, and she was exactly right.
This made Hua Luo quite comfortable with him, and Xia Houqian's ability was okay, so she didn't mind lifting him.
"Such beautiful earrings."
Zhaoyue held one of the earrings in her hand and tried it on the ear of the forgotten flower: "It's good-looking, it's really good-looking, it's rare to see such a beautiful white *** eye stone, Ah Luo, do you want to wear it."
"No, put this little box away and put it in the dresser first, and wear it when you have time."
"Oh."
Zhaoyue put the earrings in the box, took them to the dresser in the dormitory, and found a suitable place to put them down.
"Who gave the box to you?"
When Hua Luo opened the box, she was greeted by a wreath made of blooming peony flowers, which were very bright red.
Hua Luo couldn't help but complain with the garland: "Which straight man's aesthetic gave it, such a gaudy garland, will it have a rural atmosphere when you wear it?"
Hua Luo said as she tried the wreath on Zhanxing's head.
Zhan Xing lowered his head and dodged: "Ah Luo, you don't want to think about it, will the things that the idlers and others give you come to you? I've been stopped a long time ago."
"After I tell who sent it, you will regret what you said, it is ......
Zhan Xing deliberately dragged out the tail and sold a pass: "It was sent by Yan Gongzi, I'm talking about that Da Yan Gongzi, your father, not your fiancé Xiao Yan Gongzi."
「……」
Hua Luo was indeed dumbfounded, and hurriedly opened the compartment in the box and saw a pair of shoes underneath.
This is a pair of white soft-soled embroidered shoes with a rabbit embroidered on the upper.
"After all, these shoes are good, try them."
Hua Luo took off the shoes on her feet and stuffed her feet into them.
She found a problem with the shoes, which were so small that her feet couldn't fit them in.
Seeing this, Zhan Xing hurriedly said, "Ah Luo, these shoes are too small, don't wear them."
Hua Luo was still struggling to shove her heel in, "No, my father's gift to me, I'm going to try it."
Finally, with great effort, Hua Luo stuffed her foot in, but her foot was squeezed badly.
Hua Luo tried to stand up and take two steps, but her walking posture changed.
Zhao Yue couldn't help but sigh when she saw it: "Is it that all fathers in the world are so careless, they can't even remember what the size of the child's feet is, Ah Luo, don't wear it, take it off quickly, I'm anxious to see you like this."
"It's okay, I can still bear this pain." Hua Luo just won't take it off, "I'm going to wear it over and show it to my father, at least let him see it, I'll take it off again, let's go."
However, halfway through, Hua Luo changed her hexagram.
"No, I really can't stand it, take it off, I must take it off."
Zhan Xing turned his head and glanced in the direction of the East Palace: "But we have already reached the halfway point, do you want to go back to the East Palace barefoot to find a pair of shoes to wear, or just go barefoot to find Yan Gongzi?"
「…… I choose to go barefoot." Hua Luo held the shoes in her hand and walked barefoot towards Yan Nanxing's residence.
Yan Nanxing was sitting under a snow cherry tree, when he suddenly saw Hua Luo coming, holding a pair of shoes in her hand and barefoot.
Yan Nanxing stood up: "What are you doing here, you came barefoot."
Suddenly, he saw that the shoes seemed to have been given to Hua Luo by himself.
"Father, your shoes are too small, I originally wanted to wear them for you to see, but halfway through, my feet were so crowded that I couldn't stand it, so I had to come barefoot."
"Anyway, thank you Daddy for giving me little shoes~"
"It's small?" Yan Nanxing was stunned for a moment, "I thought these shoes were just right for your size."
"Daddy, is this your own wine?" Out of the corner of her eye, Hua Luo suddenly caught a glimpse of several sealed wine jars on the table beside her.
"What kind of wine are these?"
"Wine, I made it last year."
Hua Luo remembered that there was once a grape trellis in Yan Nanxing's residence, and the grapes on the shelf were red and purple, but she didn't know that Yan Nanxing had picked them to make wine.
"Can you drink it now?" Flora picked up the jar and tried to smell the wine.
"Yes." Yan Nanxing replied.
"Great, it just so happens that I have nothing to do today, I want to drink two jars~" Hua Luo had already taken away the red cloth on the altar, looked inside the jar, and shook it.
"Two jars? This is an old wine that has been treasured for a year, and you can choke on half a jar of wine for a girl." Yan Nanxing shook his head.
Hua Luo said to Zhan Xing Zhaoyue, "You two go back, I'm going to drink here with Daddy."
Zhan Xing Zhaoyue glanced at each other, but Zhan Xing advised, "Luo Dian, excessive drinking hurts your body, you can take it easy."
"I see." Hua Luo nodded, "Go back quickly."
Zhaoyue and Zhanxing left.
"That's right, Daddy." Hua Luo suddenly remembered the very rustic garland, "Why did you give me such a garland?"
"What, don't like it?" Yan Nanxing raised his eyebrows, and then said, "I saw the peony flowers in the garden blooming, I think this peony flowers are blooming big and red, it must look good as a garland, these shoes really don't fit?"
Hua Luo nodded, "But I'm still very happy, Daddy, I can drink it now."
Hua Luo found a random container and poured the wine into it.
Looking at the purple liquid in the white jade bowl, Hua Luo leaned close to her mouth and handed the bowl to Yan Nanxing: "Daddy, you drink first."
Yan Nanxing took it: "Don't be greedy, your two maids are right, excessive drinking hurts your body."
"Actually, the two of them aren't handmaidens."
Yan Nanxing sat on a chair under the tree, and a thick branch had a swing.
Hua Luo sat on the swing in front of Yan Nanxing and took a shallow breath.
"The two of them must be my cousins."
"No wonder you mingle with them all day long, it's a good relationship." Yan Nanxing also took a sip, "You have so many brothers and sisters, why are you only better with the two of them?"
"Well...... Blossom still holding the bowl in her hand, her toes touching the ground, making the swing shake slightly.
"Because they are my cousins, and their parents died when they were young, they have fallen to this point, and it is not easy to be bullied, in the end, they are connected by blood, since they have come to my East Palace, I should not pay attention to them."
"I don't see you having such a compassionate heart." Yan Nanxing looked at the sky that was getting dark.
Hua Luo put the bowl in her hand on the table, pondered for a moment, and then said slowly, "Actually, in addition to some of my pity for them, more importantly, they are different from my brothers and sisters."
"Huh?"
"The two of them are the least threat to me, I have a queen mother singing white face to watch out for them, I just need to concentrate on singing my red face, people are social animals, they can't do without friendship, I'm the same, I, need friends."
As the two talked, Hua Luo looked up and saw that the moon in the sky had risen
And it's very round, like a plate.
"Father, do you think that the moon is so round today, like a big cake?"
Yan Nanxing also glanced up when she heard Hua Luo say this.
Suddenly, he saw that the jar was empty: "It seems that you have a lot of wine, and I thought that you would drink half a jar enough."
Hua Luo pursed her lips, "Father, you underestimate me too much."
She filled another bowl of wine, raised the bowl and said to Yan Nanxing, "Father, for the full moon tonight, we did it."
Yan Nanxing was silent for a while, and clinked glasses with Hua Luo with a bang.
As a result, after another half an hour, Hua Luo was so drunk that she couldn't find the southeast and northwest.
The empty swing frame was still shaking in the air, and Hua Luo's whole body was lying on Yan Nanxing's back, and her tone was very unstable: "Daddy, listen to me tell you."
Yan Nanxing frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "If you have anything to say, I'll wait until you wake up."
"No!"
Hua Luo was categorical: "I can't say anything when I wake up, although you always beat me when I was a child......
Yan Nanxing interrupted her: "How can I always beat you."
"There you have it." Hua Luo retorted to Yan Nanxing like a scoundrel.
Yan Nanxing recalled, "I remember that I beat you three times, the first time, you ran to pick up the bird's eggs while I was not paying attention, and as a result, you accidentally ate the eggs of the Burning Dragon, and almost burned yourself to death."
"The second time, you bullied your sister Wang, and pushed people to the ground and almost disfigured."
"The third time, I can't remember exactly, it seems that you are still bullying people."
"You're so naughty everywhere that you almost lost your life, shouldn't I have beaten you? You relied on your mother to connive at you and bully your sister in the palace, shouldn't you be beaten?"
After Yan Nanxing finished speaking, he didn't care whether Hua Luo listened or not, and said seriously: "People must learn to be humble, if you respect others, others will respect you, and you can't bully others just because you are proud now."
"Yes, yes, father, what you said is so right." Hua Luo's cheeks were hot, and she felt that Yan Nanxing's back was cold, so she clung to it.
"But what I want to say is, father, although you always beat me, I know that you are all for my good, I still love you very much, in order to express my love for you, I will sing you a song."
