The dishes on the table have been hot several times, and even the lights in the courtyard outside have been extinguished one after another, leaving only the row leading from the door to the main courtyard, and Lihua, who is standing at the door of the main courtyard and has not entered the house and is looking at the gate, waiting for Gan Qiongying to come back.

Lihua could easily send someone to find out where Gan Qiongying was at the moment, but he didn't do that, he wanted to give Gan Qiongying absolute trust.

The two have always had a tacit understanding, sharing the same bed, eating and living together, and they have always left enough space for each other not to delve into some things.

Lihua stood under the porch for a long time, and the sweet corner stepped forward considerately and cared several times: "It's cold at night, so the master should go back to the house and wait?" ”

Tonight's air is mixed with water vapor, and it will rain in the second half of the night, and his master's leg will hurt every time it rains on a cloudy day.

But Lihua shook his head slowly, and said to Sweet Horn, "Go and light a lamp for me, I'll go to the door and wait for the princess." ”

Sweet Horn knows that his owner seems to be gentle, but in fact he is very stubborn, he never listens to anyone's persuasion, whether it is in the mall or in life, he has always been the one who says the same.

Sweet Corner had no choice but to light a lantern and take a cloak, but Lihua refused to put it on.

Lihua is always willing to hurt himself at some point to gain calm and inner peace. He wanted to let himself cool down, so that the anticipation and enthusiasm for tonight in his heart would not burn him from the inside out, like a melting snowman, ticking to the ground.

He is like a beast scarred from birth, and pain has become an important outlet for it to maintain its sobriety and sensitivity, which is a kind of unconscious self-destruction and self-masochism.

Like his knees were actually starting to hurt at the moment, but he still didn't want to put on the cape.

In the end, the sweet corner had to move out Gan Qiongying and said: "The master should wear some of it, if the princess knows it, how distressed should she be?" The princess would explain to the kitchen every day, saying that the horse was weak, the soup and water of the tonic had never been broken, and there was an old man in the house who watched the sky, and the medicine bags used to compress the legs, as long as the old man saw that the weather had changed a little, he ordered people to be hot all day long. ”

Even if Sweet Corner had a bad impression of Gan Qiongying at the beginning, she always felt that she was greedy for beauty on a whim, and she never forgot that she beat and humiliated her master many times in the past.

But now while saying these words and persuading Lihua, she herself couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the princess is really good to the concubine.

Taking out Gan Qiongying to speak really worked, Lihua reluctantly put on her cloak, and then walked slowly in the direction of the gate with the lamp.

Lihua's heart is very anxious, and half of the reason for the anxiety is because it is late at night, and it will soon be the fifteenth day of August, which is no longer the Mid-Autumn Festival that Lihua envisioned for only two people; Part of the reason is because Lihua is worried about Gan Qiongying, guessing why she has stumbled when she hasn't come back so late?

In addition, Lihua also has some bad guesses, such as whether Gan Qiongying doesn't want to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with him, whether she hasn't paid attention to the agreement between the two people, and whether she is ...... met a beautiful woman outside, and just like when I first fell in love with him, I changed my mind overnight.

As long as Lihua thought that Gan Qiongying might marry his kindness to another person, he felt an irrepressible tremor all over his body.

He clenched the lantern in his hand, limped in the direction of the door, walked faster and faster, did not allow Sweet Horn and Sanjiu to follow him, and rushed to the gate until he was out of breath, and the light in his hand was already extinguished.

Lihua looked down at the lamp, as if he saw that his full expectation had finally disappeared.

There was a certain gloomy and depressed mood spreading in his heart, and it was at this time that he heard the jingle of the horses belonging to the princess's mansion.

This kind of bell should have been hung on the carriage of the long journey, but all the horses in the princess's mansion will wear such a bell, which can be used to warn pedestrians during the day, and after nightfall, the jingle sound is the signal of return.

The corners of Lihua's mouth rose uncontrollably, and he walked towards the door quickly, Sanjiu chased after Lihua's side at this time, and firmly held Lihua's arm, the light that was extinguished in Lihua's hand fell to the ground, he stood at the door and stared at the returning carriage, a mistake is not bad.

The lanterns hanging at the gate swayed with the cool breeze tonight, and the dim light outlined the figure of Lihua's expectation, but it could not bear the strong feelings that were unknown and inhumane.

The carriage finally stopped at the gate, and as soon as the curtain opened, the person who came out first was Full Moon, and when he saw Lihua standing at the gate, Full Moon was stunned for a moment, and immediately put people on the step stool.

Turning back to Gan Qiongying, he said, "Princess, the horse is at the door." ”

Full Moon was the first to get out of the car, saluted respectfully to Lihua, and then stood aside very eye-catchingly, sure enough, Gan Qiongying immediately opened the carriage curtain and came out, and after seeing Lihua, she also instantly raised a smile.

Soon she stood on the carriage and began to shout, "Why are you waiting here, it is going to rain soon, the wind is very cold!" ”

Gan Qiongying stepped on the pedals, and handed her other hand directly to Lihua's hand to help her, and her mouth was still complaining: "Your hands are so cold, what are these slaves and maids for, don't you know how to add clothes to you?" ”

Since Gan Qiongying appeared, every time she said a word, the smile on Lihua's face deepened.

Sanjiu and Sweet Horn were both standing not far behind Lihua, and after being glared at by Gan Qiongying, they all bowed their heads in shame.

But there is a little grievance, in addition to the princess's words, who else will listen to what the princess says, this thin cloak doesn't know how to coax people to put it on.

Gan Qiongying didn't really blame them, she knew what kind of virtue Lihua was, so she took his hand and began to check it, for fear that if she came back too late, Lihua would flip her nails one or two again.

After all, there was such a precedent before, and Gan Qiongying has always wondered if Lihua has some unknown habits, such as ...... Do you feel unusually comfortable when it hurts?

Seeing that Lihua's hands were fine, it was just that his hands were a little cold and his face was a little pale, but his smile was very gentle and he didn't do anything to hurt himself, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
