Chapter 46 (1/2)
In the cold evening wind, he passed through the hall and brushed half of his clothes, but he didn't feel it. The dark pupils were unfathomable, and he could not distinguish between joy and anger.
He took the Turquoise Silver waist ornament out of his sleeve and held it in his hand, swaying repeatedly, wondering what he was thinking. The waist ornament is a small squirrel carved with turquoise. Two silver pinecones hang under the small squirrel. It has a unique shape and unique appearance. When he first saw this waist ornament in Binzhou, he thought of Wei Luo.
As a child, Wei Luo liked to eat nuts, walnuts, pine nuts, peanuts and so on in his carriage. When she ate, her cheeks were bulging, like a rustling little animal, and her eyes were smart and cunning. No one knew what she was thinking. She is smarter and cuter than squirrels, but this waist ornament really looks like her. Even the little squirrels are carved vividly.
At that time, he did not hesitate to buy this waist ornament and planned to give it to her after returning to Beijing. But I didn't expect that I had to wait for two years. Now he finally came back from Binzhou. Does she remember him?
When she grows up, she will go out with the man to see the lantern. Will she call him big brother?
Zhao Xuan collected her eyes, held the squirrel in the palm of her hand, gradually closed her hands, and slowly held it firmly.
When Yang Hao saw his action, he could not help pinching a sweat for the fourth miss. He hesitated and asked, ”Your Highness, is this jewelry still to be sent tonight?”
He pondered for a moment, then turned to the room and said, ”no, it was delivered by the king of Japan himself.”
It's late, and it's bound to scare her tonight. He is not in a hurry. He has been waiting for so many years. It's OK to wait another night. He has the patience.
*In the morning of the next day, Wei Luo received an invitation from the palace. Princess Tianji invited her to the palace for a reunion.
She sat at the back of the round table, eating breakfast and listening to the message of the golden thread, but there was no doubt about it. In recent years, although she is not accompanied by Zhao Liuli, she still goes to the palace every three to five. She and Zhao Liuli are handkerchiefs. They are intimate and have a good relationship in private. Zhao Liuli likes to talk to her about some embarrassing topics, so that when she invites her now, she feels that she is in trouble again.
Zhao Liuli is only one year older than her, because he has a good relationship with her and has no scruples when speaking. She came to Guishui for the first time a few days ago, and also enthusiastically popularized some female knowledge with WeiLuo. Unfortunately, WeiLuo experienced this kind of thing in her last life, and she was not curious at all, so she could not respond to it.
Today, the weather is warm. Wei Luo changes into a newly made pine flower color woven gold Luo shirt for new year's day. He sits on the bed of Luohan, waiting for Bai Lan to put her shoes on. Bai Lan picked out a pair of sand blue Lu silk, sheepskin and gold cloud shoes, and put them on one wall for her, saying: ”it seems that miss's feet haven't grown in the past two years...”
So small, a little bigger than her hand.
But it doesn't matter. Men love women with small feet. They hold them in their hands just like jade lotus, which makes people love them. In particular, the feet of her young lady are delicate and white, and her toes are pink. In the past, Bai Lan didn't think her feet were beautiful. Now she saw Wei Luo's feet, but she had to sigh that there was a kind of person who was born well everywhere. You can't envy her.
Wei Luo looked left and right, but didn't care much about it. Seeing that it was not early, she got up and said, ”let's go. It will be noon later.”
At the door, there was a carriage with Cuigai and Zhuying. At this time, Wei Luo felt something was wrong.
Usually when Zhao Liuli invited her to the palace, she went by herself in the carriage of the British government. How can she come to meet her now? Is there anything that matters? Wei Luo got on the carriage, lifted up the dark embroidered gold curtain and asked Mammy, ”who asked you to pick me up?”
Mammy said respectfully, ”it's the order of Princess Tianji to go back to the fourth young lady.”
There seems to be no mistake. She sits back in the carriage. It was clear that there was no problem, but she had an unusual premonition.
The carriage stops at the gate of the rear palace. Wei Luo follows Mammy to the Chenhua Hall of Qingxi palace. Zhao Liuli had been waiting for a long time in the palace. When he heard her coming, he ran out of the warm Pavilion and greeted him with a smile: ”a Luo.”
Zhao Liuli's skin is whiter than that of ordinary people because of his weakness and disease all the year round. His skin is morbid and almost transparent. Her skeleton is thin, her face is only the size of a slap. She smiles to show deep dimples on her cheeks. She is optimistic and cheerful. She doesn't look like a lingering patient at all.
In recent years, empress Chen has been collecting valuable herbs for her, tonifying her body, and finally raised her to be healthier than when she was a child. However, it is different from ordinary people. Her mood should not be too volatile. She cannot cry or laugh or get sick. Her illness is more serious than ordinary people. Empress Chen sees her very closely. She is not allowed to go out except for Qingxi palace. If she is bored, she can only invite aro to the palace, talk to relieve her boredom, listen to aro's stories outside the palace, and chat for consolation.
She took aro to the warm Pavilion and sat down on the bed of hualimu princess. She asked curiously, ”yesterday was Shangyuan Festival. Did you go on the street?”
A Luo nodded, ”went to see the lantern, also saw the big change living person and puppet show...” She thought for a moment, ”and had fried yuanxiao.”
Zhao Liuli looks envious. She has never eaten fried Lantern Festival and doesn't know what a puppet show is. It's still that aro lives at ease. She can go wherever she wants. Unlike her, she can only live in the Qingxi palace. Even when she goes to the back garden, she has to talk to her mother. She held her cheeks and envied: ”what's the taste of fried Lantern Festival? Is it delicious? What's the difference with ordinary Lantern Festival? ”Seeing her greedy face, a Luo couldn't help chuckling and said deliberately: ”sweet, it's filled with red beans, hot and delicious.”
She showed her yearning, but before she began to imagine, she quickly stopped and sighed, ”well, I haven't had a chance to eat.”
Wei Luo sees her look pitiful, some in the heart cannot bear, no longer teases her, lets the gold wisp take up the thing which she has prepared. ”Fried Yuanxiao can't be brought to you, but I have something else here. Would you like to see it?”
Zhao Liuli is happy and nods his head repeatedly. The depression of the moment is gone.
