The Golden Bough and the Dog vs 17
The warm water washed her skin, Tang Xian relaxed for the first time in a long time, took a long breath of relief, tilted her head to the edge of the bath tub, and quietly enjoyed this rare comfort.
"Cousin, wash my cat tomorrow, okay?" Yun Yuan sat in the bathtub and picked up the petals, and pasted the wet petals one by one to his face.
Tang Xian was soft, leaning on the bathtub, and her voice was lazy and long, "Where is your cat......
"At Ming Li, she should be back tomorrow."
Tang Xian remembered the conversation she heard in the evening, and expected that Ming Li was the female guard beside Yun Yuan, who was separated outside the city.
She also loves kittens, so she generously agreed.
Yun Yuan was happy, pestering her and chattering: "My cat is so small, I can give you a hug tomorrow, but I won't allow it when I sleep at night, I'm afraid you will press it......"
These days, Tang Xian sleeps with her clothes closed, which is always uncomfortable, at this time, her heart is relaxed, drowsy, and she doesn't listen to Yun Yuan's words.
There was no response for a long time, and Yun Yuan was a little angry: "Why don't you ignore me!" ”
Tang Xianqiang cheered up, looked at her puffed little face, and said, "Okay, I'm thinking that you are so young, will you bathe the cat." ”
"I'm not small! I will! I washed it on the way! Yun Yuan was questioned, very angry, and his voice was very loud.
Tang Xian's best thing is dealing with children, rubbing her stinging ears, and asking, "Then will you bathe Maomao?" ”
Yun Yuan's eyes widened in confusion.
"My name is Maomao." Tang Xian said, leaned sideways, and lay on the bathtub.
Her long hair was simply pulled up with a hairpin, revealing her drenched back, and her protruding shoulder blades were like the wings of a butterfly.
When I put my arms on the tub, my round shoulders moved slightly, and the water splashed from above, and the silver light was refracted by the candles in the room, filling the room.
It's a pity that Yun Yuan didn't understand Fengyue, tilted his head and thought about it, nodded his head heavily, and began to splash water on her back.
Tang Xian relied on the fact that no one saw this picture, and was rightfully served by the clouds, and slowly became sleepy, pondering her situation in half a sleep.
Today's departure was originally to identify Meng Gongzi, but he was interrupted by Yun Yuan, and this matter is over. However, it was not for nothing that Tang Xian learned of Mrs. Meng's possible candidates.
Next, on the premise of not being recognized, she has to find a way to secretly contact Bai Xiangxiang, test her thoughts, and gain freedom through Yunyuan.
It's easy to say, but when you think about it, both of these things are hindered and not so easy to do.
The road ahead is vast, but at least there is a goal and a way, which is better than being blind.
Tang Xian didn't know how long she had been in a daze, she suddenly felt a chill, she shivered, woke up suddenly, and suddenly found that the bathing water had turned cold.
Behind him, Yun Xuan said, "Are you awake?" I washed your hair, you have so much hair, I'm tired to death! ”
Tang Xian's body sank, hidden in the water below her collarbone, and after her body was covered by floating petals, she turned her head and saw that her long hair had fallen out, a small half was held in her hand by the clouds, and the other half was scattered in the water, floating like aquatic plants.
She patted her face to make herself sober, afraid that if she stayed any longer, Yun Yuan would get cold, so she whispered softly: "Then let's wash it quickly, and let you dry my hair later, okay?" ”
This sentence accurately captured Yun Yuan's thoughts, and she hurriedly responded, "Okay! ”
Tang Xian once again confirmed that this little girl only has a brother and no sisters, and said that a grandmother said that it is very likely that she was raised by an old man.
I don't have intimate playmates on weekdays, so I'm so coaxing.
She quickly tidied herself up, and then cleaned up the clouds from head to toe.
After that, Tang Xian leaned on the beauty couch and let Yun Yuan play with her long hair, and the itch caused by the kneading of her hair made Tang Xian feel very comfortable.
When the long hair was dry, looking at the sandalwood carved peony moon cave shelf bed in the light gauze soft tent in the inner room, Tang Xian felt nostalgic.
From birth to fifteen years old, she slept in this kind of big bed covered with silk embroidery thick mattress, and she hadn't slept for five years.
Tang Xian sighed in her heart, glanced at the shelf bed again, thought for a moment, and said, "When my sister was as old as you, I had to sleep with her every night. You don't want it, right? ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yun Yuan immediately took the bait, knelt on the couch and grabbed her arm, "I want it too!" ”
Tang Xian looked embarrassed, excused herself a few words, and then reluctantly said: "Okay, if you kick people at night, I won't sleep with you in the future." ”
"I don't kick anyone!" Yun Yuan loudly assured.
.
After Lan Qinzhai's lamp went out, Ming Carp went to see Yun Zhi and recounted what he had heard and seen in detail.
"Even the lights go out, the young lady does it." Ming Li's tone was stiff.
She stared at the roof of Lan Qinzhai's boudoir for a night, and witnessed with her own eyes how Tang Xian played with Yun Yuan, and how Yun Yuan served Tang Xian.
“…… Miss Zhuang was sleepy first, and she bet with the young lady that there were a few candles in the house......"
Yun Zhu's eyelids jumped violently, intercepted Ming Carp's words, and asserted: "Yun Yuan won." ”
Ming Carp's expression was indescribable, "Yes." ”
In the end, of course, Yun Yuan won, because she stayed at the house to blow out the candles one by one, counting while blowing.
Where is this betting with people and playing with others, it is clear that "Zhuang Shiyi" is too lazy to move, and tricks the clouds to extinguish the candle lights!
Who is the golden branch and jade leaf, and who is there to serve people?
Ming Li just arrived in the capital, and all her understanding of Tang Xian came from Zhuang Lian, and she was also strange, didn't she say that this was a down-and-out noble girl who had no heart, and she could coax Yun Xuan around.
Strange in his heart, Ming Li looked at Yun Zhu's dark and uncertain expression, guessing the mood he might have, and he didn't dare to exhale.
"There is no trace of reluctance in the clouds?"
Ming Li said cautiously: "Miss is so happy, one sister at a time, and even the word 'table' has been removed." ”
Not only that, but before going to bed, she also planned with people with great interest, hoping that "Zhuang Shiyi" would give her ideas and beat the clouds again tomorrow. - Ming Carp didn't dare to say.
Yun Zhu was silent again, and after a while, he asked, "Both of them slept?" ”
Ming Li said: "The subordinates who went to the bedside to investigate, and they are all asleep." ”
Yun stopped and sat quietly for a few breaths, stood up suddenly, strode to the door of the room, stopped again, turned around and said, "Transfer a few more maids from the palace, you need to talk less and be diligent with your hands and feet." ”
Giving the order, he pushed the door open and went out.
Ming Li looked at his back as he went to Lanqin Zhai, and said, "Is it to transfer a maid to serve Miss, or to serve Zhuang Shiyi?" In the end, I only dared to ask from the bottom of my heart.
Chapter 16: Cloud Stops
Yun Yuan is young, in order to prevent her from falling and being scared at night, many lights are lit inside and outside Lanqin Zhai, and they are also bright at night. Most of them were extinguished by the guards guarding outside after the candles in the boudoir were extinguished, leaving only the four court lamps and a piece of bright moonlight outside.
The guard handed over the lantern, which was pushed away by Yunzhu.
He strode in heavily, pushed open the door, and his figure was stretched out on the floor of the outer room by the moonlight outside, and then disrupted by the tables and chairs.
The cloud stood at the door, and when he looked into the inner room, his view was obscured by the veil.
He didn't close the door, he went straight inside, and when he went around the folding screen, he looked inside, and saw a bathtub with floating flower petals, and a thick towel and dirty clothes on the side of the bucket.
There are several simple dresses stacked on top of each other, which obviously do not belong to the clouds.
The clouds stopped and opened their eyes.
The water after bathing is not poured out in time...... After all, it's a girl who has just come out of the bath, late at night, and there are men outside.
Yun Zhu can figure out the reason, but his heart is very gloomy, and there is an illusion that he has invisibly threatened the girl's family with despicable means.
He reaffirmed the urgency of sending the maid over.
Turning the embroidery screen and walking outside the bed, the cloud stopped listening, and in the quiet and peaceful night, he heard two sound of sleeping, one light and one heavy.
The thin curtain of the bed was lifted, and the clouds were lying on their backs, sleeping. I can't see it anywhere else, at least my face has returned to whiteness, and my soft hair is fluffy and spreading.
Next to her, Tang Xian was lying on her side, her mattress covered her armpits, one hand was exposed, and her arm was obliquely pressed against Yun Yuan's body, which happened to press the futon on her body tightly.
Yun Zhu stared at the sleeping two for a while, and temporarily forgave Tang Xian for treating Yun Yuan as a maid.
was about to put down the curtain, Yun Yuan suddenly kicked his legs, muttered a vague word, and began to pull the quilt on his body.
Tang Xian was awakened and opened her sleepy eyes.
Yun Zhu stood beside her, no more than the distance of her forearm.
Without candles in the room, she couldn't see, and she couldn't see anyone standing beside her.
Yun Zhu didn't make any movement, watching her raise her hand, and touched Yun Yuan's face along the bed, touching it several times before the palm touched her forehead.
After a pause, Tang Xian withdrew her hand, fumbled and pulled the bedding quilt onto Yun Yuan's body, then curled her legs and fell asleep again.
Yun Zhu glanced at her a few more times, and after smelling the fragrance of the cream, he wondered if the smell came from her or her own sister.
Never mind.
He snorted softly, lowered the curtain, and when he went out, he saw in the dim environment that the jewelry on the dresser had all been taken from Yun Yuan's body.
Among them, a simple silver hairpin is mixed in, which is the one that Tang Xian always wears.
.
Tang Xian slept so much that she didn't know what it was, and when she opened her eyes and saw the light, her mind was scattered, her mind was empty, and she couldn't even remember what her name was.
Yun Yuan was not far behind, one foot was stretched out in the mattress, and the other foot was on the curtain of the silver wire hook flower, sleeping on all fours.
Tang Xian lay down for a while before remembering her situation, and reached out to touch Yun Yuan's forehead.
Didn't get hot.
She was relaxed at the bottom of her heart, and she was lazy in her bones, so she simply continued to lie down.
After another quarter of an hour, Yun Yuan rolled over, sat up and rubbed his eyes with the bedding quilt.
Tang Xian covered her lips and yawned, and asked lazily, "Did you wake up?" ”
Yun Yuan's eyes were dull, he sat for a while, and then fell back without saying a word, but he didn't sleep, and he was in a daze with his big eyes.
Tang Xian calculated the time, and estimated that the sun was in the middle of the sky, and she couldn't sleep anymore. But she didn't say she wanted to get up, but went back to bed, smoothed the mattress first, and then swiped her fingers to write.
The soft silk mattress sank as her fingertips moved, leaving shallow marks.
When she finished writing the last stroke, Yun Yuan said, "Round, this is my name!" ”
Tang Xian and the people she knew together, she could count them on one hand, she didn't know the name of Yun Zhu, Zhuang Lian's "Lian" was a little complicated, I was afraid that she wouldn't recognize it, so she wrote down a simple one.
Yun Yuan looked at it, giggled, leaned forward, stretched out his fingers and pointed, and read word by word: "Zhuang, Mao, Mao." ”
After speaking, he knelt up on the couch with his palms propped up, and said in a loud voice: "I can also write." ”
