Chapter 47 (1/2)
Zhao Xuan took back his sight, bent over, and hung the turquoise ornament on her waist. He didn't mind bending down for her in front of the crowd.
Wei Luo is surprised, subconscious Retreat: ”what does brother Jing Wang do?”
His voice is slightly low, with a man's calm temperament: ”don't move, this is the gift I chose for you in Binzhou.” After hanging, he stood up and asked, ”do you like it?”
Wei Luo took a look at the palm of his hand, and found that it was a squirrel eating pinecones. He asked doubtfully, ”why do you send me this?”
He bent his lips without explanation.
Wei Luo looked around and thought it was lovely, because he didn't know that he sent this because it was very similar to her, so he looked up and thanked him sweetly. Finally, he remembered and asked, ”I heard that brother Jing returned to Beijing yesterday. Did you come to see the empress?”
He did not speak and nodded slowly.
He did go to see empress Chen in Zhaoyang palace just now, but this is not the reason why he entered the Palace this time. As for who it is for, there is no need to tell her. He doesn't want to frighten her.
Turquoise squirrel waist ornament is pressed on her cherry palace brocade wide skirt. The skirt rises gently with the wind, revealing the tip of a pair of sand blue sheep shoes below. It's small and looms as she moves. As soon as Zhao Xuan looked down, he could see that his eyes were not clear. Instead of looking at his shoes, he turned to the pretty face of the little girl and lifted his lips. ”Why don't you ask me where I have been these two years? What did you do? ”
Wei Luo saw that he didn't mean to leave. He thought that he might have finished his work. He left the palace with himself on the way, so he didn't have much doubt. Walking on the path of sheep intestines paved with bluestone, she found that this road was not the one she often walked. This road is narrow and narrow. It's easy for one person to walk. Two people need to walk with their shoulders close to their shoulders. She is not tall enough, and her shoulder can only touch Zhao Yu's arm. She wants to take a wrong step back, but Zhao Yu looks at her and puts her in a dilemma. She had to continue to walk with him and shrunk her shoulders. ”When my elder brother left, he didn't tell me anything. I knew it from Liuli. At that time, you had been walking for two months. I know you are going to Binzhou, where the Yellow River burst its banks and the people suffered. You are going to deal with the flood. ”
There are two roads in front of the gate of Qingxi palace, one is the main road she is used to, and the other is the quiet path. Only empress Chen and the palace maid walk on this road occasionally. Maybe Zhao Xuan and the empress go on this road together. Get used to it She had a wild head.
Zhao Xuan's eyes showed a trace of smile, and the little girl's dark eyes wandered around, making people wonder what she was thinking. He was calm and calm, and continued: ”I thought I would be back in three or four months. It's not worth saying. I didn't expect that it would be two years before I went back to Beijing yesterday. ” He walked slowly, cooperated with her step, casually said: ”yesterday was Shangyuan Festival, how did you spend it?”
Wei Luo's lips were slightly pursed, with a smile in his eyes. ”I went to the street to see the lanterns. The street was very busy. There were many people.”
He said, ”with whom?”
Wei Luo had nothing to hide, so she told him: ”follow Chang Hong, Wei Zheng...” After that, ”and brother Song Hui.”
He stopped and looked at her in the dark without speaking. That pair of eyes can hide too much emotion, see Wei Luo didn't have a reason to be afraid, back half way: ”big brother?”
He looked away, smiled and said, ”I've been on horseback.”
It's true that he had to change four or five horses every day when he was still three or five days away from Shengjing City, but he didn't catch up. When he was bumping on his horse back, she was walking around with other men in the city, guessing lantern riddles. It was really annoying to think about it.
Wei Luo didn't know what he thought, but he felt a little pitiful. In the past two years, he had a bad time in Binzhou. I heard that the plague spread there and killed hundreds of people. Although he is intact now, he must have suffered a lot. Now she can't even celebrate the last Yuan Festival. Her heart is soft. She grabs his embroidered golden cloud sleeve and says, ”I just gave some lanterns to Liuli, but there are still two left. Would you like to put them with me?”
Zhao Yu's feet were stopped, and a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.
She puckered her lips, thinking he didn't know, and patiently explained, ”you can make a wish by putting the river lamp on. Do you have any wish?”
With a smile, he finally realized that the little girl was changing her way to comfort him, looking into her eyes, and said slowly, ”yes.”
*At this time, even if Wei Luo is in a hurry to go home and make rose perfume, he can only put it aside for a while.
She came to the lake with Zhao Yu. It was early spring, and the ice on the lake had melted. But it was still cold. As soon as she came near, there was a cool wind in the picture, which made her cover her lips and sneeze.
Zhao Xuan saw this and took off the Tianqing mink cloak and put it on her.
She quickly refused and took off to return it to him. Let's not say that men and women are different. Just let people see her in King Jing's clothes, she can't say clearly But Zhao Yu pressed her shoulder with his hand. His palm was big and powerful, with the oppression that could not be refused. In a moment, she had no room for resistance. She could only put it on obediently and asked uneasily, ”isn't elder brother cold? You don't wear much. ”He chuckled and told her, ”I'm a man.”
Wei luooh, no longer argue with him about it. Looking around, there was no one else in the Taiye pool at this time. The weather was too cold, and everyone was unwilling to come to the lake. Only the two of them came to put the river lamp in a leisurely and elegant way.
Wei Luo takes two lanterns from the golden thread, unfolds them, hands one to Zhao Xuan, and leaves the other in his own hands. Explain to him: ”you light the wick in it with a torch, put it on the lake, and make a wish. If the river lamp floats far away, the wish will come true.”
She doesn't believe these things herself. They are all things that deceive the ignorant girl. She has already passed that age. Yesterday, she went to the street with Chang Hong. Wei Zheng suggested that she put on the riverlight, but she didn't go. At last, Wei Zheng came back, her eyes were as cold as ice.
Wei Luo didn't expect to reject Wei Zheng yesterday. Today, she proposed to put the river lantern on her own. The world is changing.
Zhao Xuan took the river lamp and took the torch in her hand to light the wick in the middle. The wick lit up a weak light, swaying and flickering in the cold wind.
After Wei Zheng put his lamp on, he turned around and saw that he was still standing there. He asked, ”why doesn't brother Jing Wang come here?”
