Chapter Thirty-Eight: Coaxing You
That night, Ahya didn't close her eyes.
She sat beside Liunu and sang the nursery rhyme of Beirong softly all night, looking at the flickering candles, just like lying on the grassland and looking at the stars in the sky.
Xie Wei obviously didn't have the intention of letting Liu Nu die, and the next morning, a doctor with a medicine box came to check Liu Nu's pulse.
I don't know if I'm about to return to Beijing, there are too many things, or I deliberately want to cold her. In short, Ahya waited for three days in a row, and when Liunu's condition finally stabilized, he still did not receive his summons.
On the third day, Ahya put on the golden silk pearl hairpin given to her by the jade hook and went straight to Sanhai Tower.
Warm fragrant nephrite followed her closely, not leaving half a step. Ahya also knew that this was Xie Ji's eyes, but she didn't make any extra movements.
There are enough suspicions in her, and there is no need to add more. What's more, what she wants to do is not something unseemly.
On the contrary, she hoped that Xie Jian would hear the news as soon as possible.
"I want a jar of daughter's wine and three bowls of lover's blood."
She knocked on the door of the night black market and said the code.
Different from the awe-inspiring aura that Xie Yu brought when he opened his mouth, she said this sentence even softer, like a sheep who had gone astray.
But Sanhailou had already been instructed, and no one knew her, and the man guarding the door at this time only pulled the corners of his mouth, trying to show a friendly smile, but he looked hideous.
He answered the code perfunctorily, and opened the door for Ahya.
"Come in." He said, "The distinguished guests are coming at this time, but they can't catch up with the excitement. ”
Ahya pursed her lips, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a figure missing behind her, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes.
She raised her eyes, a timid temptation: "Is your steward there?" ”
"Yes, yes!" The big man mixed the rivers and lakes, and the woman he saw the most was as decisive as a jade hook, and at this time, he was a little overwhelmed by Ahya, rubbed his hands, nodded again and again, and turned around to lead the way for her, "Follow me!" ”
"Girl!"
Ahya was about to lift her heels, but was stopped by Wen Xiang.
Her face was full of anxiety, and her eyes flashed with horror: "How can you come to such a place?" If you let Your Majesty know......"
"Don't tell him!"
Ahya glared slightly, and quickly covered her mouth.
"We're quietly, God knows, you know, I know."
She seemed to be a little weak-hearted, and a pair of smart eyes looked left and right, as if she was very nervous, but there was only a quiet cool color under her eyes.
Sure enough, nephrite went back.
She hooked her lips, booed Wen Xiang in a good mood, lifted the hem of her skirt, and trotted with the big man leading the way.
The bait has fallen, and it depends on whether Xie Ji can eat it.
The willows on the moon, the lights in the Sanhai Building are bright.
Today's pre-auction dance seems to be even more special, without lingering silk bamboo, replaced by the enthusiastic drumbeat of Beirong.
Ahya stepped on the music and carried the delicate tambourine of flowers into the entrance, and the veil on her face was hazy, making her eyes more gentle as water.
There was silence in the pavilion, neither cheering nor noisy conversation or laughter.
Only a sharp and cold gaze pierced through the heavy veils and fell straight on her, gradually becoming scorching.
Ahya lowered her eyes, her heart settled.
Xie Ji, here.
In his previous life, what he loved most was for her to dance, and what he hated the most was for her to dance in front of others.
He already regarded her as something in his hands, and when he got the news, he naturally wouldn't turn a blind eye.
This desire for exclusivity and control, from the past life to this life, has really never changed.
She began to spin to the beat of the drum, bending over, every movement just right, in the most beautiful gesture, showing to the most central pavilion.
The music gradually reached its climax, and she held the tambourine, turned her back, and slightly revealed a side face.
One shake, two shakes, three shakes.
The crisp sound of the tambourine was accompanied by the drum and music, and it flew at her fingertips, as if it had come to life.
The slender red silk hangs on the tambourine, spinning with it, falling one curve after another in the air, like the figurative image of music.
It was a gift from the high altar of Beijung, a gift from an ancient saint to the gods.
Xie Yu sat in the pavilion, holding a glass of wine in his hand, staring at this scene for a long time.
His eyes reflected the red like a butterfly, and gradually burned into a flood of desire.
He suddenly curled the corners of his lips, laughed silently, threw his glass back, stood up, and walked slowly to the stage.
Knock, knock, knock.
His footsteps strolled up to the beat of the drum.
At one point, he reached out and grabbed the red plum.
Ahya was grabbed by his wrist, and was stunned for a moment, her face showed a bit of incredulity and annoyance, and she turned her head to look at the comer, but she was stunned.
Her complexion changed, and a little weakness appeared in her eyes, and she spoke hesitantly.
"Your Majesty......"
"Ahya, you still don't seem to know who you are." Xie Yu's gaze swept over her, as if he was careless, but there was great authority in his tone.
"Who allowed you, here, to flatter others?"
His words were a little too ugly.
Ahya bit her lower lip and looked at him steadily, the original joy in her eyes gradually turned into sadness and grievance.
"I am ......"
"How are you?" Xie Yu hooked the corners of her lips, her eyes were gloomy, and her fingertips hooked the dance clothes on her body, with coldness, "Ahya, it seems that you haven't learned enough lessons." ”
"Maybe before entering the palace, I should find someone to teach you the rules."
Ahya's eyelashes twitched slightly, and her clear eyes were covered with a layer of water.
"I just wanted to give you this." She hurriedly opened her mouth and took out a jade pendant from her waist.
The jade pendant is carved with unicorn auspicious cloud patterns, the whole body is emerald green, glowing with a smooth light, and it is a first-class object at a glance.
She put the jade pendant in Xie Yu's hand, and blinked, like a treasure, with a sad nasal voice.
"I made an appointment with the steward, I danced a song, and he gave me this."
"I don't have the money to buy those nice things. But...... I want to coax you. She raised her eyes and looked at Xie Yu, her eyes were clear, with a clean light, "I know it's wrong, can you forgive me this time." ”
Xie Wei lowered his head slightly, looking at her eyes, for some reason, his heart seemed to be touched by something.
Obviously, this kind of object, he has better in his storehouse.
His face was still calm, and something seemed to flash quickly in his eyes, and it was quickly covered with coldness.
"What if I say no?"
He tugged at the corners of his lips, lowered his eyes and looked at the jade pendant, his fingertips brushing over the carved unicorn pattern, a little joking.
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child, and I want to coax me with a worthless jade pendant?"
Ahya's eyebrows were crooked, and she looked at Xie Ji, and there seemed to be brilliant starlight in her eyes.
She didn't hesitate to speak.
"Then I'll think of something else."
"If one is not enough, twice, and if two times is not enough, three times...... Your Majesty, when will you not be angry? ”
