CHAPTER XXXVI

The sky was blue and cloudless, but there was no breeze hanging down on such a good day, and the leaves did not move. Sunlight shines through the gaps in the overlapping leaves, casting irregular shadows in the courtyard.

After the summer heat, it will soon be ambushed, and the weather will become hotter.

A few small people in the courtyard of Zhiyin Xuan held slender sticky rods, aimed at the cicadas that were constantly chirping on the branches, and caught them lightly.

"It's quieter, the princess is taking a nap." Out of Xiu lowered her voice and explained to everyone in the courtyard, for fear of disturbing the good sleep of the people in the house.

After the summer, Xiao Yunjiao became less and less mobile.

There was ice in all four corners of the room, emitting wisps of cool smoke. She lay on the carved Arhat and slept soundly.

"Why are you here?"

She looked at Shen Yuzhou who pushed the door in, and felt a little dizzy.

Why didn't this man pass the word and came in directly through the gate?

Shen Yuzhou just smiled lightly and walked over to sit on her couch.

He reached out and brushed her cheek, helping her to unslew away her somewhat messy hair.

"Get up, I've been sleeping for a long time."

Xiao Yunjiao nodded, wanting to raise his hand to hold his hand, but felt as if his arm weighed a thousand pounds.

Shen Yuzhou smiled, and took her thousand-pound hand and rubbed it in his palm.

Xiao Yunjiao was a little shy, and in the blink of an eye, he found that Shen Yuzhou's figure had disappeared without a trace.

It's a dreamβ€”

She thought to herself, in a daze, it was time to get up.

Feeling the coolness of the ice cubes in the room, Xiao Yunjiao sighed comfortably.

"Why haven't you gotten up yet?"

Shen Yuzhou's voice sounded in his ears again, "I've slept like a little lazy pig." ”

Xiao Yunjiao turned over and saw Shen Yuzhou lying on his side, holding his head and looking at her with a smile.

She stared at Shen Yuzhou's handsome face for a while, and couldn't help but get closer-

Shen Yuzhou lowered her head cooperatively, and a soft, fine kiss fell on her forehead, cheeks, and finally on her soft lips......

Xiao Yunjiao suddenly felt very thirsty, and her throat seemed to be on fire, so she could only tilt her head and get some sweet comfort from Shen Yuzhou.

But this was like an itch in the boots, and the thirst in the throat became more and more obvious, and even Shen Yuzhou's lips seemed to have become a water-absorbing sponge.

The ups and downs between Xiao Yunjiao's breathing became violent, and he opened his eyes with difficulty-

This time I really woke up.

She sat up with Luohan and felt the reality between her breaths.

Touching her burning cheeks, the cold sensation of her fingertips reaching her face made her even more sure that she had woken up.

She actually dreamed of Shen Yuzhou and her-

Xiao Yunjiao thought so, and the temperature on his face became higher and higher.

"The princess is up?" Primrose eared and whispered at the door when she heard the movement.

Xiao Yunjiao pursed her lips, "Pour a glass of water and come in." ”

The warm tea finally relieved the discomfort in the throat.

"Did Miss Su reply?" Putting down the teacup, Xiao Yunjiao asked.

In the last assassination, some of the assassins went to chase Yuwang's carriage, but Yuwang was not injured, but he affected Su Niannian on the car. She went to see it twice, and Su Nian was not able to go often to recuperate from his injuries, and the two still wrote more.

Primrose shook her head, "It's strange to say, in the past, you could receive a reply on the same day, but this time it's been two days, Miss Su can't be sick, right?" ”

Xiao Yunjiao thought for a moment and ordered: "Prepare the car, let's go to Yuwang's Mansion to see her." ”

The ebony carriage stopped at the gate of Yuwang's Mansion, and the butler who had already received the news was waiting outside the door.

"The slave greets the eldest princess."

Xiao Yunjiao helped Primrose's hand get out of the car and said casually.

"Where's Miss Sue?"

The housekeeper bent down and replied, "Miss Su was a little unwell two days ago, and now she is recuperating in Furong Garden. ”

"Isn't her injury healing?" Xiao Yunjiao was puzzled, obviously she was already able to walk around when she came back to visit.

"Back to the princess, the girl's injury is healed, but she used too much ice in the first two days, and some of them caught the cold." The butler said.

Xiao Yunjiao relieved her heart when she heard this, she also had the cold and ice wind cold in the summer, and she would raise it for a few days.

Walking along the corridor to the Furong Garden, Xiao Yunjiao asked about King Yu's recent situation, "Is the emperor's uncle still seeking immortals in the Taoist temple of Cangcheng Mountain and has not returned?" ”

She became jealous when she thought of it. A few days ago, she was so tired that she was going to die to deal with the Cui family, but King Yu went to the mountains to escape the summer happily, and she was supposed to take Su Niannian with her, but her injuries were not complete at that time, so she brought other musicians.

The housekeeper replied with a smile, "The prince doesn't have a time to go back and forth, it all depends on the mood, maybe he will play where, our family just takes care of the palace for the prince." ”

Xiao Yunjiao sighed lightly, "This palace is really envious of the emperor's uncle, who is at ease." ”

The eldest princess laughed. The housekeeper didn't say much, and led them to the Hibiscus Garden and then whispered goodbye.

The Hibiscus Garden is located in the southeast corner of Yuwang's Mansion, and then a small garden is next to the Pear Courtyard where the singers and musicians live.

King Yu attached great importance to Su Niannian, not only allocated her a courtyard alone, but also sent seven or eight maids to serve her closely, and the food and clothing were comparable to Xiao Yunjiao.

It's no wonder that she is greedy for cold, and she dyes the wind chill with ice.

The maid in the Hibiscus Garden led Xiao Yunjiao into the inner room, "Princess, please come in." ”

Xiao Yunjiao waved her hand to pull her back, "You guys go down, this palace will talk to you girls." ”

The maid Fu said: "The princess forgives her sins, the girl is afraid of people because of the cold, and there is a screen in the house, and the doctor explains that she can't get close." ”

Xiao Yunjiao glanced at her, and Izuku immediately spoke, "Presumptuous, how noble the princess is, how can you see each other through the curtain." ”

The maid was so frightened that she knelt down, and was about to say goodbye when she heard a weak voice from the house, "Yancao, don't be rude to the princess." ”

Su Niannian walked out with a veil, "Princess, forgive me, the doctor came to see it two days ago, and he said not to get too close to me, and they were also afraid that the princess would be sick." Why don't we go to the poolside pavilion to talk, which is spacious and sick, and we can also look at the beautiful view of the garden. ”

Xiao Yunjiao was relieved to see that she was fine, nodded and went outside the house with her.

"There is Princess Lao's memory, every year is just a little cold, and the princess is tired of coming to visit many times, I really feel a little sorry not to go." Su Niannian sat in the pavilion with her and cooked a cup of tea for Xiao Yunjiao with his own hands.

Xiao Yunjiao smiled and said: "Why are you so polite, the last assassination was caused by me, if you don't want to go, how can I deal with myself?" ”

"Don't talk about me, Liu Xi is still thinking about you, the master." Xiao Yunjiao asked Xiu to take out the things that Liu Xi brought, "Before leaving the mansion today, he came to stop me, just to bring this music score to you." ”

"This ......" Su Nian Nian was a little embarrassed, "How dare Nian Nian be Mr. Liu's master, in the piano road, Mr. Liu's attainments far exceed Nian Nian." ”

She stretched out her hand to pick up the score, but the maid named Yancao took it from Izuxiu's hand one step ahead of her, and Su Niannian's outstretched hand paused and fell on the table.

Xiao Yunjiao glanced at Yan Cao, then observed Su Niannian's expression, did not speak, lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

"What kind of tea is this?" She said suddenly.

Su Niannian said: "It's Jiuqu red plum, the new tea of this year that the prince appreciated before going out." ”

Xiao Yunjiao frowned, "This palace is a little unaccustomed to drinking, let's change the Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots that I drink on the vegetarian day." ”

Su Niannian immediately understood, and instructed Yan Cao, "You go and get the purple bamboo shoot tea on the eight-treasure shelf in my room, and then change it to some sweet pastries, green tea with sweets is good to eat." ”

Yan Cao hesitated for a moment, said yes, turned his head and gave orders to the two little girls waiting outside the pavilion.

"You girl has a big shelf, you can't do what Miss Su told you?" Xiao Yunjiao looked coldly at Yancao who had gone and returned, and the words she said made her feel afraid.

"The slave and maid don't dare, but the slave and maid are close to the girl, and they don't dare to leave the girl's side for a moment, for fear that the girl will be unwell." Yan Cao knelt down and said.

"What? Are you still some panacea? The girl is not well, you can get better here? Xiao Yunjiao continued to attack.

Su Niannian hurriedly relieved the siege, "The princess is angry, Yancao is just worried about my body, she usually serves her very dedicatedly, just spare her once." ”

said to Yan Cao sharply: "Don't hurry down, don't be an eyesore in front of the princess." ”

Xiao Yunjiao didn't look over, she didn't want to look at her. Yancao had to kowtow a few times and retreat.

It's just that before leaving, she secretly gave a few little girls outside the pavilion a sneak look.

Seeing Yancao walking away, Su Niannian whispered: "The princess can also see it, this Yancao has been very strange recently." ”

"The girl's actions are always according to the master's thoughts, this swallow grass was assigned to you by King Yu, she must have been instructed by King Yu." Xiao Yunjiao stroked the red jade pendant on his earlobe, and his mind turned quickly, "It's just that Uncle Huang is staring at you?" Is it the same on weekdays? ”

Su Niannian shook his head, "On weekdays, I only think that this girl is dedicated, but I feel that something is wrong with her in the past few days when I am sick, as if I am afraid that someone will see me." If you hadn't come today, I wouldn't have seen anyone for three days. ”

"What about the letter I wrote to you?" Xiao Yunjiao asked.

Su Niannian was puzzled, "Did you write a letter later?" I haven't received it for seven or eight days. ”

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and suddenly remembered something.

"Princess, I seem to know something." Su Niannian's face was a little panicked, and he secretly glanced at the little girl standing a few steps outside the pavilion, and retracted what he wanted to say.

She stretched out her finger and dipped it in the cup of tea, and carefully wrote a word on the stone table from her memory.

"Where did you see that?" Xiao Yunjiao's expression immediately became serious, and he stared at the shallower and shallower handwriting on the table and asked in a low voice.

"The prince once invited a painter back to the house, once took me to listen to music in the pear garden, and when the interest came, he was invited to paint, and then the inscription on the painting 'Baiyunsheng has a family', I didn't feel wrong at that time, and then I corresponded with you many times before I found that your words are very similar to the painter." Su Niannian was also shocked, and tried his best to maintain the calm on his face.

Without waiting for Xiao Yunjiao to say anything, Su Niannian grabbed her arm and shook his head invisibly.

The little maid took the refreshments, placed them on the stone table, and glanced at the orchid pattern on the stone table before leaving.

"Princess, look, wouldn't it be more elegant and chic if you used such an orchid pattern on the fan?"

Before leaving the pavilion, she could still hear Miss Su say this to the princess......

Xiao Yunjiao and Su Niannian talked happily with each other, from the pattern of the embroidered fan to the fashionable makeup, and from the refreshments on the table to the new candied fruit. They sat in the gazebo and talked happily, but the little maid outside the pavilion almost couldn't stand.

Finally, the sun went down, and the two people in the pavilion finally stood upβ€”

"Every time I chat with you, I only feel that the hour flies very quickly, you have a good rest, and when you are well, this palace will take you to the mountains to escape the summer."

Xiao Yunjiao walked out of the pavilion and said to the maids on the periphery: "You serve Miss Su well, don't think that the prince can be lazy if he is not in the mansion, if you let the palace know that Miss Su has been wronged a little, the palace wants you to look good." ”

The maids trembled and responded, and Xiao Yunjiao left Yuwang's mansion.
