Chapter 58: Can I go upstairs with the county lord?
Shen Xihe turned around and stood in front of the hanging flower door, and saw Xiao Huayong sitting in front of the stone table with his back to her.
He wore a heavy dark cloak, the collar was snow-white and luxurious white fox fur, the jade crown was tied with his hair, and the black green silk was all coiled. He was surrounded by osmanthus trees blooming with osmanthus flowers, and the fragrance was fragrant.
The sun of Cumulus clouds, a good day hidden behind the white clouds like cotton wool, the sun that is not dazzling gently sprinkles a patch, and falls gently on him, just a sitting posture of his back, and he can also be still in the painting.
A gust of wind blew, and the fragmented planning swayed and fell, Shen Xihe reached out to catch a flower floating towards her, and walked towards Xiao Huayong.
This man who looks sick and weak, just like this osmanthus flower, can be clear and dusty, and can be strong and far-reaching.
"County Lord." Tianyuan saw Shen Xihe and saluted first.
When Xiao Huayong stood up and turned around, Shen Xihe had already walked up to him, and Shen Xi and Ying Ying saluted.
"The county lord...... Titicaca...... It's polite......" Xiao Huayong took a step to support her, but he seemed to be very weak, and withdrew his hand after expressing his meaning, "County Lord...... Have a seat. ”
Shen Xihe sat down opposite Xiao Huayong, it was cool today, and she also wore a cloak, but her cloak was much thinner than Xiao Huayong.
After a few days, Xiao Huayong's face became even paler, there was a kind of white that seemed to be transparent, his eyes were mild and lackluster, and his eyelids were half-closed, which made the small mole at the end of his eyes more lazy.
As soon as Shen Xihe sat down, there were refreshments on the table, such as jade dew balls, crispy honey cold utensils and rice brocade......
The last plate was rice brocade, Xiao Huayong's slightly drooping eyes, and his gaze fell on the rice brocade: "Chongyang is coming...... Titicaca ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to the holidays...... He ordered in advance to make a titicaca...... Rice brocade, eating with the county lord...... The right is to celebrate the festival in advance......"
Rice brocade is a flower cake that every family in Kyoto eats during the Double Ninth Festival.
The Double Ninth Festival is the custom of climbing in the northwest, and Kyoto is even more lively, drinking chrysanthemum wine, eating flower cakes, inserting dogwood, hairpin chrysanthemums, climbing is inevitable.
With Xiao Huayong's physical condition, it is basically impossible to drink chrysanthemum wine and ascend, even if you have to eat less flower cakes.
"Climbing a mountain is not necessarily climbing a tower." Shen Xihe said softly, "I have been weak since I was a child, and every Double Ninth Festival, my father and brother accompany me to the city tower of the Northwest Pass......"
On the one hand, you can see the cheers and encouragement of the people in the city tower, and the lanterns are colorful for the festival, and on the other hand, there is a vast yellow sand, solemnly and majestically rejecting the foreign barbarians.
Shen Yueshan and Shen Yunan changed their ways to please her, whenever there were days when girls could show off and ride horses wildly, they were always so cautious, they were afraid that she would be sad.
One year, during the Shangyuan Festival, Shen Xihe suffered from the cold, but he had already made an appointment with Shen Yunan to see the lanterns. Shen Yueshan said that she was not allowed to go out of anything, her temper came up, and she was unhappy.
Shen Yunan put down the respect of the prince, and on the night she recovered, she rang every household, begging them to light a lantern that day, and take her to the city tower to see the city lanterns shining for her, which made her happy.
These memories, this is the thought of it, and it feels sweet.
"The castle tower of the imperial city can also have a panoramic view of the grand scene of Kyoto...... "Xiao Huayong said, "If it is the Double Ninth Festival, my body and bones are still good, I don't know if it can be Titicaca...... Ascend the stairs with the county lord? ”
Shen Xihe suddenly came back to her senses from that long memory, and she smiled lightly: "Okay." ”
She also wanted to experience for herself what it was like to stand on the castle tower, even though she wanted to be with her brother the most.
was ready to be rejected, but Shen Xihe responded with one mouthful, which surprised Xiao Huayong, and he had already begun to think about how to arrange it.
Tianyuan, who was standing on the side, looked at the sky speechlessly.
What if you say yes, you have to turn around for another day?
Xiao Huayong's joy was not concealed, and Shen Xihe restrained his emotions: "Your Highness invited me to come, what do you want?" ”
What is the instruction? But I just want to meet people.
Tianyuan listened with his ears pricked up, and it was up to his master to see how the panic passed.
It must be known that if you don't say something this time to make Shen Xihe feel that it is worth a trip, it will be impossible to lie to her again next time, and it will also make Shen Xihe's attention to Xiao Huayong drop sharply.
Xiao Huayong originally had other words for Shen Xihe, but the longing that flashed in her eyes made Xiao Huayong change her mind: "The festival is coming to Titicaca...... Does the county lord want to see his family? ”
Shen Xihe raised his head and stared at Xiao Huayong.
Shen Yueshan and Shen Yunan are stationed in the northwest, and they are not allowed to leave the northwest for half a step without an edict, which is why Shen Xihe's fate hangs by a thread in Linxiang County, and Shen Yueshan and Shen Yunan, who feel so sorry for Shen Xihe, can only write letters and send people to visit.
Too many people are staring at Shen Yueshan and Shen Yun'an, once they secretly leave the northwest, they are afraid that someone will immediately cause a war and blow them out without permission, and Emperor Youning will catch the handle and clean the northwest.
"Your Highness, you ......" Shen Xihe was a little grateful to Xiao Huayong at this moment, whether he had love or not, he devoted his heart to her.
"I can ask Your Majesty for a favor......" Xiao Huayong smiled kindly at Shen Xihe, "Titica...... But only one person. ”
This is a great favor, for Xiao Huayong, maybe it's just a matter of dragging the sick body to open his mouth, Emperor Youning wants to show his favor to Xiao Huayong, and if he doesn't ask his son to open his mouth for more than ten years, he will definitely agree.
But for Shen Xihe, she needs to meet Shen Yun'an and tell him what she thinks, and she also needs to know more about the people buried by the Shen family in Kyoto from Shen Yun'an.
If she accepts Xiao Huayong's favor, she is afraid that it will not be good to return him.
After careful consideration, Shen Xihe still decided to owe this favor first: "Zhaoning has thanked His Highness for his understanding, Zhaoning wants to see Brother." ”
"The county lord is willing to accompany me to the Titicaca ......" Xiao Huayong showed a little satisfied smile, "I ask for a favor for the county lord, it's not worth it......"
"No, it's just a trivial matter to go upstairs with His Highness......"
"Asking for grace is just a little thing...... Xiao Huayong interrupted Shen Xihe's words, "For you and me, it's all a little thing, and for you and me, it's a precious ......thing."
Xiao Huayong coughed violently after speaking, and Tianyuan hurriedly handed over a glass of water.
Shen Xihe has never met such a person, he does his best to be good to you, but he never asks for anything in return, and people can't detect a trace of purpose, which is so pure and like a spring breeze.
It's just right, you can't refuse, and you won't leave a burden on your heart.
There are only two kinds of people who can do this: the purest and the best, and the ...... Insight into people's hearts.
The former is self-ashamed, the latter is heart-pounding.
She looked at Xiao Huayong fixedly, wondering what kind of person he was.
