Chapter 29(1/2)
Indeed, Zhao Sansi said this sincerely, Gu Xizhao knew. However, looking at the other party's calm peach blossom eyes, she could only say to herself in her heart: "I can't believe her, she is just a child."
After a moment of silence, Gu Xizhao suddenly lowered her head and smiled, and nodded in ambiguously. At that moment, her heart was still unable to resist the urge to get close to this little fool. She quickly held Zhao Sansi's face, and said with her forehead, and gently: "A woman, Tiangui Shuizhi, can marry as a wife. Your Highness, you have grown up."
The tenderness of the willow leaves's eyes was as solid as the essence. Under the wrapping of such eyes, Zhao Sansi felt that she was brisk in her whole body, especially when she saw the bright red lips that were so close that it seemed like a bright red fruit. She felt a little hot inexplicably, and then her throat was a little dry, so she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
In this silent silence, the "gull" swallowing sound seemed very abrupt. Zhao Sansi hurriedly reached out to cover his lips. For some reason, he didn't dare to look at Gu Xizhao.
Gu Xizhao didn't know what she was thinking, but looked at her earlobes that were quietly red at some point, thinking that she was shy because she swallowed indecently in front of her. She laughed softly, then lifted the curtain, put on her shoes, and poured her a glass of water from the teapot on the table. "It's a pity that it's not convenient, otherwise it's better to drink hot water."
Zhao Sansi held the teacup and took a small sip, took a sip and secretly glanced at Gu Xizhao. Seeing Gu Xizhao keep looking at her, she thought about it and gave her the teacup she had half drunk, "Does the imperial concubine want to drink?"
"No..." The glass-colored cup was drooled, and a little light shone in the seemingly non-existent moonlight. Gu Xizhao bit her lower lip, "Okay."
The cup nimblely turned around in her hand, and when it was placed on her lips, the edge with a slight light disappeared under her lips.
It's the moonlight outside the window that is seductive.
It's the night in the house that is seductive.
It's the little fool in front of you who is seductive.
So, the water in this cup is also fascinating.
Therefore, there is someone who can't let go of it in your eyes, and there is a sweetness in your heart.
Gu Xizhao lowered her eyes and was finally willing to admit at this moment that she really liked this little fool. It was not because the prince was pitiful, it was not because the prince was helpless, nor because the prince was a daughter.
When I entered the palace to have a show with Zhao Jin, my master asked her: "Your senior brother is a talented person and has a steady and mature personality. If you are not the king of a country, you would be a good husband who is worthy of your life. Zhaoer, do you really have no affection for your senior brother?"
"I really don't have any. This time I entered the palace, one was to look at the novelty and fun, and the other was to repay the emperor's life-saving grace in Jiangcheng."
"Oh...well. I don't know what kind of people I, a smart disciple, will look at?"
How could she say that at that time? "Master said that I have a beautiful appearance and a delicate heart, and I am definitely not an ordinary person. If I can get into the eyes of my disciples in the future, I must be the kind of chivalrous and soft heart that can bring my disciples to play with this hero in this world..."
I never thought that the person who made her fall in love was the soft and cowardly little prince in front of me.
As Master said, the word "love" is the most difficult to understand and the most difficult to control. It is due to fate, not to people. If you see it, you will be surprised. It is too late to understand it, and you will retreat... but you have no way to retreat.
Thinking of this, Gu Xizhao laughed, looked at the empty teacup in her hand, slowly looked up at Zhao Sansi who was peeking at him, her lips moved, and she stopped talking. She turned around and placed the teacup on the table, poured another cup for herself, and drank it all in one go.
"It's almost dawn, I'm leaving." While speaking, Gu Xizhao didn't look back and turned his back to Zhao Sansi, "Your Highness is fine today, so I'll feel relieved."
Zhao Sansi didn't say anything. She couldn't bear to leave, but she also knew that she had to leave.
Seeing that the person didn't make a sound, Gu Xizhao closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes, she turned around and looked at Zhao Sansi's fingers holding the bed curtain tightly. It was hard to ignore the reluctance in her eyebrows and eyes.
Forget it, it’s rare to come and meet, “I’ll wait for you to fall asleep before leaving.”
Zhao Sansi's expression relaxed a little, and spontaneously rolled into the bed, patted the empty space beside him, "Then the imperial concubine lies beside me again."
Gu Xizhao hesitated for a moment, walked over, sat on the bed, took off her shoes, and lay down beside her. Seeing Zhao Sansi still sitting there in a daze, pretending to be impatient, "Lying down quickly."
Zhao Sansi quickly lay down. When he was retracted into the quilt, he was too big and accidentally touched his tight-tied chest. She gasped for pain. Although she bit her lips in time, Gu Xizhao still heard it, "What's wrong?"
"No...it's okay." Zhao Sansi quickly shook his head.
Gu Xizhao didn't believe it, so she saw her sleeping on her belly and said, "Sleeping on her belly is easy to have nightmares. You can't develop the habit of sleeping like this. Just lie flat on your back."
Zhao Sansi pursed his lips, and the three whips on his back were still hurting, "I... I feel uncomfortable lying on my back..."
"Just get used to sleeping on your back." Gu Xizhao couldn't get angry when she looked cautiously at her, and suddenly remembered something again: "Take off your clothes."
"Huh?" Zhao Sansi thought he had heard it wrong, so he looked at his clothes, "This is the close-fitting midi."
"It's just taking off this dress."
That...that's too shameful.
Zhao Sansi carefully clenched the quilt a little again. Gu Xizhao was inexplicably angry. She turned over and lifted the quilt. Before Zhao Sansi could react, she had already quickly stroked Zhao Sansi's midsuit, revealing her thin and fair back. The three interlaced blood-red whip marks on it looked even more shocking in comparison of the colors.
She thought Cai Jun must have been holding up high and falling down. When she heard Guiren Qing say this, she was still thinking that Cai Jun’s bitter plan was amazing, and it was very good to repair the hole that the little fool had poked. She was even thinking about whether the prince fainted, and he was pretending to be instructed in advance.
It turns out that it is not. Although this bitter meat plan is for the world to see, this little fool really suffered such bitter meat.
"Imperial Concubine, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt." Seeing that the person behind him didn't say anything for a long time, Zhao Sansi endured the pain of his chest strangled by the middle robe that was turned up. "I fainted today because the Prime Minister told me not to eat last night."
Gu Xizhao felt a little astringent, and her fingers clenched. In the end, Ruyu's fingers still couldn't bear to touch the red mark, and just murmured: "Little fool."
Zhao Sansi heard it clearly, not only did he not get angry, but he said proudly: "The Prime Minister said that I am a fool and I am a fool. It is also a blessing that I am a little stupid. Today, the matter of the imperial concubine can be resolved so much."
Gu Xizhao was dissatisfied when she heard this, "The Prime Minister can't speak, you are wise and foolish." She said yes, but no one else could say that this little fool was stupid. She herself didn't realize this childish monopoly.
Zhao Sansi was stunned, but obeyed her orders and nodded in agreement, "Yes, the Prime Minister has no imperial concubine who can speak, I am very wise and foolish."
Gu Xizhao stopped talking and helped her to pull her clothes carefully. When Yu Guang noticed the cloth on her back, he paused, "Now Hua Rong and Yun Shang are serving each other closely. When you go to bed at night, you can untie your chest."
Speaking of this, Zhao Sansi's face turned red. He raised his eyes from the pillow and looked at Gu Xizhao, and then buried it again in the pillow. After thinking that the imperial concubine was closest to him, he hesitated for a while, and said in a muffled voice: "When I was in the Cedar Palace, I would secretly relieve it at night, but... but now, I...I dare not solve it..."
"Um?"
"I don't know what's going on..." Zhao Sansi bit his lower lip, his voice both distressed and shy, "It...it has grown so fast recently...it's big and round."
Big... and round... well, it feels so picture-like.
Gu Xizhao raised her eyebrows and coughed uneasyly. Suddenly, she didn't know what to say. She lowered her head and gently pulled her clothes for her, lay down on the side, looked at the top of the bed, thought for a while before she felt a little awkward: "Eat less beans in the future, by the way, and the milk you like to drink... The palace maid said before that these things are the easiest to make her breasts bulge..."
Zhao Sansi didn't dare to look up, but was still buried in the pillow and nodded in a muffled voice.
For a moment, the two of them didn't know what to say. In the small space, they could only hear each other's breathing and heartbeats quietly.
After a moment, Zhao Sansi quietly looked up at Gu Xizhao, "Concubine."
"Um?"
"I can't sleep."
Gu Xizhao closed her eyes, "Close her eyes and slowly fell asleep."
Zhao Sansi said oh, and a moment later, a serene sound rang out again. Gu Xizhao thought she turned over, but she didn't pay attention. She opened her eyes until she hugged her with her hands.
"When I couldn't sleep before, my mother could fall asleep with her mother holding me." Zhao Sansi didn't feel how surprised Gu Xizhao was to throw herself into her arms. She didn't push herself away when she saw someone, and she wrapped her feet around her. She lay half on Gu Xizhao like a koala, and then closed her eyes, "Imperial Concubine hugged me, and I will definitely be able to fall asleep soon."
After all, I still regard myself as my mother.
Gu Xizhao was helpless, but she didn't say anything, nor did she push her away. Thinking about how much she suffered today, she even raised her hand and gently stroked her hair with some pain, and hummed the Ningshen song she had learned in the Taoist temple before.
"The imperial concubine sang very nicely."
"Don't talk, go to bed quickly."
Zhao Sansi quickly closed his eyes and obediently stopped making noises.
It was unknown how long after, Gu Xizhao accepted the song and felt the long breathing from the person lying on her chest. She did not rush to get up, but waited for a while before gently carrying the person inside, then quickly put on her shoes, cleaned her clothes, took the Feitian lock, and jumped out of the window.
After coming out of Showa Palace, the horizon began to turn white. When Gu Xizhao went to Yunyang Palace in the northwest, she hesitated for a moment, turned back, continued to move forward, and headed towards the Meridian Gate.
Cai Jun actually dared to take such a heavy blow to that little fool, and she had to breathe a sigh of relief.
The Meridian Gate is the main gate of the palace. It is named Wumen because it is Ziwu. In front of it, there are several main gates of the imperial city, and behind it is also the main gate. However, there are corridors on both sides of each gate. If Zibeng is present today, various funeral rituals are basically performed in the Meridian Gate, and all officials live in these corridors.
Gu Xizhao jumped onto the eaves. Because there are many people gathering here now, she didn't dare to make a big noise. She was trying hard to figure out where Cai Jun lived, and just saw Li Zhongxian coming out of a room, so she quickly tiptoed over.
"... Now that your highness is weak, the Prime Minister is indispensable in the affairs of the government. You all have to take care of them carefully. Don't be stingy with those good Jinchuang medicines, just use them for the Prime Minister... Your Highness can't stand the three whips, but the Prime Minister has received thirty whips... Just now, our family is about to cry... "
Hearing this, Gu Xizhao frowned slightly. After Li Zhongxian told the little eunuch beside him to walk away, she still didn't vent her anger and quickly walked towards Yunyang Palace in the northwest corner.
Forget it, if the emperor is so tired, if the prime minister is beaten up by himself, he will probably be the little fool who will suffer in the future.
The prime minister, who had no idea that he had escaped being beaten by the imperial concubine, also grinned and cursed the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine Xi.
"Prime Minister, is it still hurting?" The little eunuch who served him looked at him grinning and moaning, a little at a loss. "Before leaving, General Manager Li told his servant Jin Chuangyao not to be stingy, but he should apply some?"
"It's useless to wipe it off. You have to be tortured by you." I think that the extraordinary genius of the Cai family in Yong'an grew up in a honey pot since he was a child. The 17-year-old top scholar has a smooth career in the future. Before he was thirty years old, he became the prime minister. He thought that he would be granted the title of the Three Dukes in his prime at the age of 1980 and push the scholarly family in Yong'an to a supreme reputation. He never thought that he would make such a big fuss here in the middle of the journey. Today, these thirty whips almost cost him his life.
He thought that his biggest failure in his life should be to marry the jealous wife, but he never thought that it was because he had not met this foolish prince.
Cai Jun gritted his teeth and thought again, if this fool did not die young, he would definitely die young. If he died, the fool would not posthumously named him the most wise minister of ancient and modern times, and he would definitely not let him go if he was a ghost.
The little eunuch had never seen the prime minister's irritable appearance. Hearing this, he was even more arrogant and did not dare to show it. He looked at the crisscrossing whip marks on his back, and he shrank timidly, "Your Highness is a kind and kind person. Today, the Prime Minister suffered so much, Your Highness must be grateful to you in his heart..."
"Ha." He was so grateful that the fool could not cause trouble for him in the future.
The little eunuch originally wanted to comfort him, but when he heard his cold snorting, he quickly closed his mouth and pretended to have no idea about anything, poured him a cup of tea.
The room suddenly became quiet, and Cai Jun's mind was involuntarily occupied by the scorching pain on his back - Mom slaps her, and the mother's tears didn't blow easily, so the pain made him cry.
"Don't just sit there and stare blankly, tell me some gossip and make fun of me."
The little eunuch: "...Chief...What should the Prime Minister listen to?"
"...You tell me how the kings of the previous dynasty died?"
The little eunuch was so angry that he knelt down, "Principal... Prime Minister, I don't dare."
Cai Jun hissed in pain again, "Okay, okay, then choose what you think is the most interesting."
The palace master must not criticize him. The little eunuch thought about it and remembered the strange thing about a strange neighbor in his hometown before entering the palace. He trembled and listened seriously to others, and then he gradually started talking...
Since ancient times, it is unlucky for women to come to Guishui. In order to avoid ramming the ghost of his elder brother, Zhao Sansi could only pretend to be more haggard and weak. Under the instruction of Li Zhongxian, the Crown Brother's illness was naturally caused by the death of the Emperor Daxing. All the officials naturally rushed to comfort her and advised her not to go to Minggan Hall to stir up sad past events.
In this way, Zhao Sansi got sick in Showa Palace. Every day, she discussed major urgent matters with Cai Jun and others who were full of scars on her back. At other times, she was thinking about when Concubine Xi from Yunyang Palace would come to see her again.
If you don’t see each other for a day, it feels like the feeling of three autumns. She seems to understand. Look how slowly the sun rises? Why is it so difficult for the sun to set the mountain?
