88, Chapter Eighty Eight
Xiao Pingzi returned to Fengrui Palace to reply. Facing the chief eunuch, he replied hesitantly, "Xue Ya said... that he is used to serving there."
"Does this mean you won't come back?" The big eunuch looked a little unhappy. He glanced in the direction of the imperial study and then told Xiao Pingzi, "Don't tell anyone about this matter. Just pretend it never happened."
It was the great eunuch's own intention to let Xue Ya come back, because he saw that Cui Lingjing had been in a bad mood recently. The weather had been cold recently, and the flowers in the vase in the royal study were replaced by plum blossoms. The great eunuch found that Cui Lingjing was always staring at the plum blossoms in a daze occasionally.
Xue Ya loves plum blossoms, and the eunuch knows that. When Xue Ya was in Fengrui Palace, she always liked to pick plum blossoms and make them into dried flowers, put them in her purse, and wear them around her waist.
At the dust-washing banquet that day, Cui Lingjing unusually mentioned Xue Ya in the dormitory, frowned and said a lot of things, and then refused to allow him to say it. The chief eunuch understood Cui Lingjing's thoughts, he wanted Xue Ya to come back but didn't want to mention it himself, feeling that
It's a loss of face.
Therefore, the chief eunuch made a plan on his own and went to find Xue Ya privately to get the person back from Ningfu Palace. Little did he know that the other party was unwilling to come back.
The matter was only temporarily dropped, but the eunuch did not expect that Cui Lingjing would find out what he had done.
"What did you do in Ningfu Palace a few days ago?" Cui Lingjing asked while putting on her boots. His expression was casual, as if he was just asking casually.
After hesitating between telling the truth and lying for a while, the chief eunuch decided to say half-truth and half-lie: "I went to see Xueya."
Cui Lingjing glanced at the chief eunuch, stood up and let others dress her, "He's looking for you?"
"No, it was me who went to look for him. It's freezing cold now. I thought that Xue Ya had frostbite on her hands and feet. This chilblain is most likely to recur. Didn't he keep sweeping snow in Ningfu Palace? It's so pitiful, my servant.
Go and ask him if he wants to return to Fengrui Palace to serve him." The chief eunuch took the fox fur and put it on Cui Lingjing.
Cui Lingjing put on her clothes and walked out. When she reached the door, she suddenly asked: "Is he coming back?"
The chief eunuch shook his head.
Cui Lingjing's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and she walked out, but her hat accidentally touched the brocade curtain at the door. The little eunuch holding the brocade curtain turned pale and immediately said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I didn't do it on purpose."
."
"Pull it down! Beat me until those hands are useless!"
Cui Lingjing punished the young eunuch, but the anger in her heart still did not subside. She corrected the memorial in the imperial study room, and became more and more angry. This anger reached its peak when the Ministry of Rites presented a new batch of pictures of beautiful girls.
On the other side of Ningfu Palace, Xue Ya didn't know that someone was so angry because of him. He dismissed Xiao Pingzi and started making dried flowers in the lotus. As the eunuch knew, he picked a lot of plum blossoms.
It's just that he was making dried flowers and eating plum blossoms at the same time. He Xulan noticed his behavior and couldn't help pinching Xue Ya's cheek with her hand, "Do you like eating plum blossoms so much?"
"I like it." Xue Ya smiled at He Xulan with her eyes bent, "When I was hungry when I was little, I ate plum blossoms. Brother, do you want to eat them?"
He picked up a piece and handed it to He Xulan's lips.
He Xulan lowered his eyes at the plum blossoms and bit off a piece. Xue Ya continued to raise his hand to feed, and when he was feeding from behind, his finger was bitten. Xue Ya was just about to say that He Xulan had bitten him, when he noticed the smile in the other person's eyes.
I immediately understood that He Xulan did it on purpose.
He wanted to take revenge, so he grabbed He Xulan's hand and wanted to bite it. After making a fuss, he sat on He Xulan's lap and was kissed by his chin for a long time.
Xue Ya was still breathing slightly when she heard He Xulan's voice.
"The people around His Majesty came to see you. What did they say?"
After being punished several times by He Xulan, Xue Ya no longer dared to hide anything from He Xulan and told everything. After he finished speaking, seeing that He Xulan didn't speak for a while, he quickly sat up straight and said, "Brother, I
I didn’t promise them.”
"I know." He Xulan said calmly.
But Xue Ya was not at ease. After staring at He Xulan for a long time, he took the initiative to kiss He Xulan. The plum blossoms placed in the dry basket on the table were touched and half of them were spilled. He saw that things were going in an uncontrollable direction.
Development, Eunuch Huang's voice came from outside.
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty is here."
He Xulan immediately closed Xue Ya's open clothes and took her off the table. While dressing Xue Ya, he coaxed in a low voice: "Go back to your room first, I will come over later."
Xue Ya was still a little dizzy. After nodding dullly, he got up and walked out. He returned to his room and thought that He Xulan would come to find him. After rolling his eyes, he took off all his clothes and only covered himself with the quilt.
.
The silver charcoal in the room was burning brightly. Xue Ya lay down for a while and felt a little thirsty, so he got up to drink water. He didn't bother to get dressed, so he knelt on a stool and poured himself some water.
As he was drinking water one after another, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
Xue Ya thought it was He Xulan who had arrived, so she hid on the bed and said, "The door is unlocked."
As the door opened, Xue Ya deliberately exposed his calf. He Xulan especially liked to kiss his calf, but at this moment, he heard Eunuch Huang's anxious voice.
