Chapter 16: General Chu Xiao
"Delicious, not sweet. ”
He has a cold temperament, and after being picked up and adopted by Fu Qingheng, he went to the Snow Country military camp with all his heart and worked hard for Su Moxie. I never thought about these things like children's affection. Between the little princess of this night country, it was purely an accident.
He just went to the Lying Night Country with his father-in-law, but he went out for a walk while his father-in-law was chatting with the Lord of the Night Country. Who would have thought that they would meet Xia Yunzhi?
He just instinctively pulled her the moment he saw her accidentally fall into the river. Who would have thought that the little princess Xia would fall in love with him like this?
The shy appearance, the emotion overflowing in his eyes when looking at him, anyone can see it. He only came to the Night Country to accompany his father-in-law to borrow troops, and he never thought about anything else. But the father-in-law also saw the thoughts of the little princess of Naxia, and asked him to deliberately cater to it. He knew that his stepfather was thoughtful, and everything he did and said was for a reason. And whatever the word of the righteous father, whatever it is, he will listen. So......
It's a pity that he doesn't understand the relationship between men and women, and he is also very good at this. If it weren't for the little princess Xia who threw herself on him, I am afraid that she would have felt that he was very boring and chose to leave. He didn't spend a long time with her, but it wasn't short, especially when she came to the Snow Country and lived in the Imperial City. The father-in-law intended to let him visit every once in a while, but every time he went, as he did today, he would only sit stupidly on the sidelines, occasionally make a few words, and when it was almost time, he would leave and go back to the barracks.
But even so, that silly cute girl didn't feel bored. The big round eyes were still shining, and they didn't show any annoyance. It seems that as long as I can see him, I feel very content.
"Rhyme. ”
Suddenly, Chu Han blurted out her name. In fact, since the two met, Xia Yunzhi deliberately asked him to call his name in private, because in this way, he would not feel too rusty. But Chu Han always abides by her duty and always calls her Princess Mingzhu. One is to abide by etiquette, and the other is that he feels embarrassed and can't shout.
But at this moment, his heart moved with his thoughts, and the word "rhyme" was shouted, and he didn't feel disobedient at all. On the contrary, he felt that he should have shouted it a long time ago.
"Huh?"
Xia Yunzhi responded softly, first his eyes widened in disbelief, and then he seemed to be sure that he was not an auditory hallucination, so he slowly lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"I've heard, in what day is your birthday?"
"Hmm!"
Xia Yunzhi nodded, feeling sweet in her heart. The word "heard" is really strange, she is the princess of the Night Kingdom, how can ordinary people know her birthday?
"Then if the Japanese military camp is fine, I will go into the palace to celebrate with you, okay?"
"Good!"
Almost without thinking, Xia Yunzhi responded very much, and nodded vigorously as if he was afraid that Chu Han would regret it. Chu Han, who was provoked by this move, couldn't help but laugh softly, and his indifferent eyes melted away in an instant like ice and snow meeting the warm sun. Xia Yunzhi was stunned in place, and laughed stupidly.
*
Although the days in the palace were boring, they were also extremely passing, and Xia Yunzhi's birthday was coming in the blink of an eye. As soon as a few little palace maids who served her got up in the morning, they pushed her to the dressing mirror and dressed up beautifully.
This is Snow Country, and not many people know about her birthday. Xia Cangyan sent a hosta as a congratulatory gift, and walked around as usual. Su Moxie didn't know where to learn about her birthday, and he also sent people to send many congratulatory gifts. I also wanted to celebrate it before, after all, she is a princess of the night country, and she is a guest when she comes to the snow country. But the thought that she liked to be quiet dispelled that thought.
On this day, she received many congratulatory gifts, and the most surprising of them was the girl who lived in the temple to the south. She rarely goes out of the yard, and she also learned from her subordinates that this girl who forgets her worries was personally brought back by His Majesty Snow Country, and she values it very much. But her identity is special, she is not a concubine, and she does not have any name, just like her, she is a "distinguished guest" in the Snow Country.
The gift given by the girl was a cute little snow rabbit, and Xia Yunzhi fell in love with the rabbit at first sight. She didn't know where the girl found out about her birthday, but this snow rabbit was enough to make her make up her mind that she would definitely meet her in the future!
"Little princess, General Chu Xiao asked someone to come over and pass the word. It was said that there was an urgent matter in the barracks and that it would come later. ”
A little palace maid walked into the hall to report, Xia Yunzhi shook her head and smiled indifferently when she heard this. "It's okay, it's okay, the military is important, I'll wait for him as long as he's busy. ”
As soon as these words came out, it was no surprise that they aroused the ridicule of a group of palace maids. Unexpectedly, this wait was until late at night.
Xia Yunzhi's room was lit by candlelight all the time, and she looked at the table of dishes she made with her own hands that had long been cold, and her mood seemed to be covered with a layer of ice and snow. The palace ladies were all sent to rest by her, they were not like her, they were delicate, and they had nothing to do all day. Therefore, you should rest early so that you can have the energy to clean up and be busy the next day.
No, a palace maid who seemed to wake up from a sleep, got up and found that the light was still on in her room, so she rubbed her sleepy eyes and came to take a look. When he walked into the hall, he couldn't help but sigh deeply when he saw this.
She walked to Xia Yunzhi's side, patted her lightly on the shoulder, and persuaded, "Little princess, I think General Chu should be too busy and won't come." Why don't I wait for you to sleep?"
Xia Yunzhi shook her head, although she is docile, in some ways, she is still relatively stubborn. She looked up and smiled at the palace maid, even if she was in a bad mood, there was still no trace of complaint in her eyes.
"He said he would come and celebrate with me, and I waited for him. You go to sleep first, I'm fine, just wait a little longer. If he doesn't come, I'll go to sleep by myself. ”
Her assurance was a little pale, and the little palace maid shook her head pityingly, and couldn't bear to force her, so she left her alone.
Suddenly, there was only one person left in the palace, Xia Yun was alone, she lowered her eyes slightly, and her little face was a little lonely. And at this moment, there was a "ding" sound in the silent space.
Xia Yunzhi raised her head sharply and looked at the window, if she heard it correctly, the sound just now was like the sound of a small stone hitting the window, right?
There was another sound of "ding", and Xia Yunzhi Huo Ran stood up and opened his mouth a little frightened.
"Who?"
"Ding!"
In response to her, it was the sound of pebbles hitting the window frame. If you call the palace maid at this moment, will it be too abrupt? If there is nothing, it will be too embarrassing, right?
