Chapter 60: Love
Under the magnificent sun, the green lotus leaves are blooming dazzlingly. At the edge of the pool, the occasional colorful butterfly flies softly, one of which lands on the end of Huan'er's fragrant hair.
Mo Yunxiao wanted to reach out and grab it, but the wind in the palm of her hand still alarmed it and scared it away. She opened her palms, and there was nothing but empty air. Mo Yunxiao looked annoyed, but Huan'er, who was sitting next to her, covered her mouth and smiled.
"If the butterfly wants to fly away, why force it to stay." Huan'er's words were to comfort Mo Yunxiao. As she spoke, she gently grabbed Mo Yunxiao's arm with her hand and rested her head on her shoulder.
Where is this still a pair of master and servant, they are obviously extremely close sisters.
Mo Yunxiao looked at her and smiled. She originally thought that Cheng Yu was also a beautiful son, but when she saw it today, she was very mediocre. With Huan'er's appearance, I don't know why he is so affectionate? Maybe it's really in the eyes of a lover.
So Mo Yunxiao asked, "Huan'er, what do you like about Chengyu?" ”
Huan'er raised her head to look at her, and there was a sad look in her eyes. "He used to be able to speak, but not like he does now."
"Then ...... him"
"Since the family changed, he is like a different person." Speaking of this, Huan'er also became sad,
Mo Yunxiao nodded understandingly, and said, "When encountering such a disaster, anyone will not be able to stand it." He hasn't had a ...... to you over the years."
In the end, she hesitated. She wanted to say, "He didn't hate you?" But looking at Huan'er's happy appearance in love, she couldn't say this anyway.
But Huan'er had already guessed what she meant, so she pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "He won't hate me." He knew that it was the court and the official family that caused us to be like this. Moreover, he can come back this time, and I have begged the king so hard. The king had a good heart, and I was moved by what I said, so it took some effort to summon him back. So no matter what, he won't hate me. ”
"You and Cheng Yu have a marriage contract, and you also told the prince?" Mo Yunxiao asked.
Huan'er's little face flushed, and she bowed her head shyly and said, "That's not true, I just said that he is my cousin, and I beg the king to save him." ”
"Oh." Mo Yunxiao answered, his eyes looking into the void into the distance. Somehow, her heart was never at peace. Ever since she saw Cheng Yu for the first time, she had read a hint of uneasiness in his flickering eyes.
"The king is a good man." Huan'er looked at the pond and said happily: "The king's great kindness, Chengyu and I can't repay it in our lifetime." ”
"But people say that King Jian is a lustful and frivolous person, and he has the nickname of 'Dragon in Flowers'." Mo Yunxiao looked at her, suddenly smiled, and said, "With our Huan'er's appearance, can't we impress him?" ”
It was a joke, but it didn't make Huan'er laugh, but it made her eyes darken. "I'm just a little maidservant, how can I win the favor of the king?"
Hearing her say this, Mo Yunxiao's brows suddenly furrowed. Although she and Huan'er haven't been together for a long time, she knows that Huan'er is a woman with a free and easy personality, and she will never feel so sorry for herself.
"Huan'er, you ......" Mo Yunxiao was about to ask a few more questions, but was interrupted by Huan'er. She suddenly raised her head and said happily, "I've been talking about me for a long time, how did you come in, girl?" Yikes! That little brother just called you 'Linglong girl', is it possible...... It's hard to ......"
Mo Yunxiao nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, I am the exquisite girl who exchanged for thirty singers." Alas, it's not because I'm trying to get you out! ”
As she spoke, she stretched out her finger and poked her finger hard at Huan'er's temple.
Huan'er sneered and said, "The girl treats me well, I will remember it for the rest of my life." It's just that the king's kindness cannot be repaid. So, I can't go out with the girl yet. ”
Mo Yunxiao smiled helplessly and said, "I understand." You are a man of affection. Besides, with Cheng Yu stumbling you here, your mind is no longer with me. ”
"Oh, my good girl!" Huan'er hugged Mo Yunxiao's arm tightly with both hands, and couldn't help but coquettishly say, "You can be considerate of me this time." The king treats me well, and I will naturally repay it. Cheng Yu has been waiting for me for many years, and I can't just leave. ”
Mo Yunxiao's heart "chuckled" again, and asked, "If Chengyu changes his mind, then ...... you?"
"Then I...... Then I'll ......," Huan'er said in a choked voice, "Then I'd rather throw myself into this pool and die." ”
Mo Yunxiao's heart tightened, and she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand and said, "Good girl, don't say such things." ”
"Ahem!" A heavy cough came from behind the two. The two looked back, and it turned out that Cheng Yu was already standing behind them.
"Big ...... Girl. He screamed softly.
Huan'er Huo Di stood up, greeted him and asked with a smile, "You're back!" What did the king tell you to do? ”
"Huh?" Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, looking like he was not giving up, and said to Ai Ai: "Oh, the king wants to reuse me, saying that it will be beneficial to do things for him in the future." ”
"Yikes! Is this true? Huan'er clapped her hands happily and almost jumped: "This is great." I didn't expect the king to take such care of the two of us. Cheng Yu, we have to remember the kindness of the prince, and we must repay it well in the future. ”
"yes, yes." Cheng Yu lowered his head, and his eyes didn't dare to look directly at Huan'er.
Mo Yunxiao watched from the side, and always felt that Cheng Yu's performance was a little suspicious. But she is also constantly examining her heart, is it because Huan'er is no longer dependent on herself and jealous? If that's the case, then I'm too villainous.
Thinking of this, her heart hurt slightly. She desperately wants to do something for Huan'er, but does Huan'er really need it? The answer is probably no.
So she had to change her plan, Huan'er wouldn't go with her so soon, so she had to stay and observe Chengyu again. If he really hadn't changed his mind, even if Huan'er stayed in the palace forever, he would have nothing to worry about.
"Girl!" Huan'er pulled Cheng Yu with one hand and Mo Yunxiao with the other, and said to her, "I'm very happy at this moment. Not only because I can meet Chengyu from time to time, but also because I am happy for you, a girl. ”
"For me?" Mo Yunxiao was a little confused, so she asked, "What do I have to be happy about?" ”
"Your Majesty!" Huan'er smiled and said: "The king is not like outsiders say, he is a person with deep affection. I heard that the girl was sick these days, and the king was also emaciated. The status of the king is noble, what kind of woman can't get it? But he can still pour everything into the girl, such a beloved, you can't find the girl with a lantern! ”
Mo Yunxiao squinted and smiled, "Ha! Now that you have Chengyu, you're in a hurry to get me out, aren't you? ”
Huan'er laughed and said, "Where did the girl come from?" I'm worried about the girl. Don't miss a good marriage for the sake of your daughter's family's reserve! ”
"Alas!" Mo Yunxiao sighed and said, "If you let him know that I came to the mansion for another purpose, I'm afraid you won't treat me like this." ”
Huan'er also hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's okay to think about it." The king is the most aware of righteousness, and he will definitely understand the girl's distress if he lives with himself. ”
"Hah! You've only met him a few times, and you're just talking for him? Mo Yunxiao said that she was about to twist Huan'er's ears.
Huan'er ducked back and said with a smile, "Girl, spare me." Although the king is not a deep friend, he can also catch one or two between his words. Girl, you just believe in Huan'er, there will be no mistake. ”
"Okay, okay, you take care of your Chengyu first. I'm going back too. Mo Yunxiao said with a smile, and then gently pushed her.
Huan'er glanced back at Cheng Yu, grinned, and then said to Mo Yunxi, "Girl, you have to remember my words." The two of us will come to see you in the next two days. ”
"Alright, let's go." Mo Yunxiao pretended to be impatient and let the two of them leave far away.
Mo Yunxiao turned around, and then looked at this pool of delicate lotus flowers. In her heart, Song Mingxuan's shadow had gradually faded away, and Zhao seemed to be approaching little by little. Although Zhao seems to be not as handsome as Song Mingxuan, he is also beautiful and charming, and has a touching charm. Thinking of his fate being so lamenting, Mo Yunxiao couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic.
He is indeed very concerned about himself, just as Coral and Huan'er said, throughout the ages, how many princes and generals have just regarded women as a plaything, and how many are as sincere as him?
Suddenly, she thought of Zhao Ji again. That hateful Zhao Ji actually wanted to openly do something unscrupulous by the edge of Jin Ming Pond. She couldn't help but grit her teeth, and her heart was extremely angry. It's a pity that he is not in front of him now, otherwise he would have to be scolded.
Compared with Zhao, Zhao Ji is indeed too frivolous, neither the majesty of an emperor nor the sense of security of a lover. After all, he's just a childish boy.
However, the big boy is facing a life-and-death crisis. Zhao seems to want to unite with Liu Dadao to kill him and thus ascend to the throne.
Although Zhao Ji is hateful, he is not guilty to death. Even though Mo Yunxiao clearly knew that this guy would lead to the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty in the future, at this moment, he still didn't want him to die tragically like that.
"Looks like it's time for me to confess to him." Mo Yunxiao thought so in her heart. She wants to explain her origin to Zhao Yi clearly, and persuade him to let Zhao Ji go. If he can really let go of Zhao Ji, it seems that he can really accept him.
Even though Mo Yunxiao already had a good impression of him, such a good impression could not withstand the impact of bloody killings. She couldn't imagine that she would spend her life with someone who treated other people's lives like a sloppy one.
As she walked, she thought, and before she knew it, she had returned to her own place. The maids hurried out and asked her where she had gone, and how she could not find her. Mo Yunxiao only said a few perfunctory sentences, and did not say anything about meeting Huan'er and Chengyu.
"Delicate girl, you frightened the little ones." One of the maids said, "Sister Coral is gone, and the little ones have lost their backbones." If the king asked, it would be unimaginable. ”
Mo Yunxiao smiled apologetically and said, "It's me who is too reckless, just walking around by myself and forgetting about you." Not in the future. ”
Just then, the coral returned. But she was a little depressed, and when she entered the house, she almost bumped into Mo Yunxiao's body.
"Sister Sango!" As soon as the maids screamed like this, she suddenly realized that she couldn't help but say, "Ah! He screamed, and rebuked again and again, saying, "The little one has collided with the girl, and the crime deserves death." ”
Mo Yunxiao looked back at her, and saw that her face was haggard, her eyes were scattered, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart, so she asked, "What did the king tell you to do?" ”
"Oh, it's the prime minister of Zai Zhizhang who came to the house, and the king wants the younger one to serve." Coral said.
Her answer was fine, but her voice trembled slightly. The maids looked at each other and noticed that something was wrong, but they could only look at each other and did not dare to say anything.
Mo Yunxiao was even more worried, took Sango's hand, and said, "I see that you look very bad, but are you sick?" ”
"Huh? No no! Coral pulled his hand out of Mo Yunxiao's hand as if he was electrocuted, and said, "Miss Xie cares, I'm fine." ”
"Are you really okay?" Mo Yunxiao frowned and asked.
"It's really fine." Coral smiled after speaking, and then said to the maids: "Okay, don't be stupid here, the girl has just recovered from a serious illness, and it is time to rest." ”
So, everyone retreated along with the coral. Mo Yunxiao wanted to ask her a few more words, but she didn't give her this opportunity.
This day passed quickly, also because Mo Yunxiao thought a lot. After lunch, she just wanted to sleep lightly for a while, but she didn't expect that it would be dark when she opened her eyes again. She was a little annoyed at the waste of time, but she was also glad that Song Mingxuan didn't break into her dream again.
When she got out of bed, the room was lit and a long figure flickered behind the screen.
"Coral? Is that you? She leaned over as she asked, only to find that it was not Coral sitting at the table, but Zhao Xiang.
Against the backdrop of the candlelight, Zhao's face was full of spirit. He was smiling at himself. This time, Mo Yunxiao didn't feel embarrassed.
"The slave family has seen the king." Mo Yunxiao bowed lightly, and enjoyed the process of saluting him.
"I haven't seen you for a day, and I'm getting more polite." Zhao Ru smiled and said, "I brought pastries for you to taste, and I didn't bother you when I saw you asleep." ”
"The king is bothered." Mo Yunxiao walked over slowly and said, "Every time the king comes over, I fall asleep, it's embarrassing. ”
"What's so embarrassing about that?" Zhao Yan's eyes didn't leave her for a moment: "I can only blame me for not taking good care of you, causing you to get sick." Otherwise, how can you stay asleep all the time? ”
Mo Yunxiao smiled faintly and said, "The king's heart is as fine as a hair, which makes people's hearts warm. Is the king so good at treating other women? ”
Zhao seemed to pause, then restrained his smile and said, "From now on, I will only treat you Linglong girl." ”
Mo Yunxiao looked at him for a long time, and he didn't smile, looking at her equally seriously.
Mo Yunxiao didn't speak, just stood up, paced to the edge of the open hanging window, and let the evening breeze blow on her face.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She could feel Zhao as if he was walking towards her from behind. A man's body temperature quickly envelops itself. But at this moment, he only gently put his hand on her shoulder.
"Can you go out for a walk with me?" Mo Yunxiao also reached out and stroked his hand, looked out the window and said.
