Huo Du did not answer.
Le Zhi looked at him seriously, only to see that his deep eyes were always focused on his face. She sighed inwardly—
Such a reaction should not exclude her from entering, right
The hand on the door was a little harder, and the door of the study was pushed wide open. Le Zhi stepped into the room and closed the door gently. Turning around again, she found that Huo Du had turned his head away and continued to look out the window... as if he hadn't turned to look at her just now.
Lezhi clenched the mahogany box in his hand and hid it in his sleeve. She lightened her footsteps, took a soft stool and walked to Huo Du's side, took off her cotton cloak and sat beside him slowly.
She followed Huo Du's line of sight and looked out the window with him.
The sky is clear and cloudy, and the golden sun shines down. Although it's extremely cold Laba, the cold wind blowing also has some subtle warmth...
After a while, Le Zhi took his eyes back from the outside and turned to look at Huo Du's profile. His face was pale, and the cold jawline showed a chill.
She lowered her voice and asked tentatively, "Can I speak? If Your Highness finds it annoying, then I won't speak."
Huo Du's eyes moved, and he looked sideways at Le Zhi again, taking a closer look at the emotions in her eyes.
—Cautiousness, slight fear and a hint of courage.
This was the emotion she had most often towards him.
"Go ahead."
Somehow, Lezhi heard some deadness in his answer. Fortunately, he didn't tell her to shut up.
Le Zhi curved his lips and smiled slyly. She took out the mahogany box, opened it, stretched out her hand to take out the purple stone inside, and shook it in front of Huo Du as if offering a treasure...
Seeing his mediocre response, Lezhi made a mysterious expression and said, "Don't look at its ordinary appearance, it is not an ordinary stone."
After she finished speaking, she grabbed Huo Du's wrist so that his palms were spread out. Then she put the purple stone on it and covered her hand. Across the warm stone, she held his hand lightly.
After a while, Le Zhi felt that Huo Du's cold hand began to warm up. She raised her eyes and asked with a smile, "How is it? Is it a baby? Does His Highness like it?"
Huo Du looked at her smiling eyes, the frost that was originally covered in the cold eyes gradually dissipated, and the lacquer eyes gradually deepened. The warmth from the purple stone in his palm can't be ignored, he lowered his eyes and looked down, the back of his delicate and soft white hand came into view...
"Like it." He simply said two words.
It seems to be answering Le Zhi's question, but it seems to be more than that question.
Huo Du's expression was always light, but the lacquer eyes that lowered his smile gradually thickened, and there was compromise in addition to the smile. He sighed inwardly.
More than a baby, it is more like a soul-sucking poison.
And he was sweet.
When he got a positive answer, Le Zhi instantly became proud. However, when he thought of the price of this stone, he couldn't help but pursed his lips, "Does your Highness know how expensive this is?"
Her face was full of distress, and she said, "very expensive, very expensive!"
Huo Du raised his eyes and put away the emotions in his eyes, but the original coldness had faded away. He looked at Lezhi's vibrant cheeks, chuckled lightly, then picked up the other hand that was not held by her, and patted his leg...
Le Zhi naturally knew what he meant. She got up, sat down on his lap as he wished, and put a hand on his shoulder...
A set of actions down, very familiar. This made Le Zhi's heart tremble slightly.
When did it start? Now she can sit on Huo Du's lap so naturally. There was no resistance, and even the initial fear disappeared.
The cold wind that was blowing from the window was blocked by Le Zhi's body. Huo Du casually raised his hand, and the window slowly closed, blocking out the cold wind.
Huo Du took a closer look at the person in front of her, her eyes were still red... He had already noticed that as long as she cried, the redness at the end of her eyes always dissipated very slowly.
It's not hard to guess that Le Zhi would cry every time he went to Xia Feitai.
Obviously he is not happy, but he still wants to coax him.
- Really just to please
"It's so expensive..." Huo Du chuckled and said in a deep voice, "But I didn't prepare a present for you today."
"No, no." Le Zhi's snow cheeks flushed, and she said anxiously, "I didn't buy it on purpose, but I just happened to see it and thought it was suitable to buy it for His Highness..."
She said it was expensive, but she didn't mean to ask him for a gift in return!
If Le Zhi was more careful, he would realize that Huo Du's words had deep meanings. He doesn't mean that there are no gifts prepared, but that "today" is not prepared.
But she was in a hurry to explain and didn't study his words carefully.
Suddenly, Xu's hand on his waist tightened, and Le Zhi followed his strength into Huo Du's arms, and his side face was pressed against his neck, and it was actually warm.
Lezhi silently praised: It is expensive, but this purple stone is really the right one!
Huo Du silently looked at her black hair, so close that the faint scent of hibiscus flowers from her hair drifted into his nose. He glanced at the bun that she casually rolled up, then raised his hand to remove the step in the bun, and threw it on the windowsill...
The crow's hair fell and fell on his shoulders. Huo Du approached her, closed his eyes and sniffed.
—During the time of indulging, he absurdly wanted to keep the smell on her body.
With his palms closed, Huo Du held both Zi Shi and her slender hands firmly.
Today is really not a good day.
But soon, he prepared a big gift for her. She will love it.
"Knock-knock-" A low knock sounded on the door.
Le Zhi suddenly woke up, she pushed Huo Du away against his chest, and quickly stood up. She looked at the wrinkled fabric around her waist, and her hair was loose, and glared angrily at the initiator.
She straightened her clothes and tucked her hair together before walking towards the door. She obviously didn't do anything, but she was inexplicably guilty and embarrassed...
The door opened, and after seeing the person who opened the door, An Xuan's face flashed with stunned expression. After being stunned for a moment, he sent the tray in his hand forward, "Prince Concubine, are these enough to eat?"
"Enough." Le Zhi took it and said calmly, "There is Lord Lao An."
An Xuan nodded slightly and closed the door.
He turned around, and suddenly recalled in his mind the appearance of His Highness when he taught Lin Yuxian a serious lesson, which was in stark contrast to the blush that lingered on the face of the Crown Princess just now. He frowned and shook his head.
Although An Xuan's background is ordinary, he is like a literati in his bones. These days, because of Jing Xin, he would also observe the Crown Princess consciously or unintentionally. An Xuan knew that the concubine was very dignified and self-contained, but her own prince behaved recklessly...
Although they are husband and wife, in the study...it's too unstable. He raised his eyes and looked at the guards outside the study with a vague expression. He finally sighed and found an excuse to send them elsewhere.
Lezhi put down the tray heavily and sat at the table angrily. Fang Cai An Xuan's eyes were obviously misunderstood, but she couldn't explain it yet.
- How can this be explained clearly!
Her dignified image just disappeared!
Looking at the food in the tray, Le Zhi raised her hand to get a chestnut cake, but because she was too hard on the old wound, the wound on her shoulder was almost healed long ago, but she was too angrily and hard... ...
With a snort, she changed her hands, picked up the chestnut cake and took a bite.
After watching the whole process, Huo Du smiled and pushed the wheelchair to Lezhi's side. He looked at her injured shoulder and asked, "Is the wound still healed?"
Originally it was just a question of concern, but at this moment, it brought some inexplicable charm.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Le Zhi was choked and coughed violently. She almost couldn't help thinking about it.
- "When the injury on my shoulder is healed, let's have a consummation."
The words he had said came clearly in his mind.
Huo Du patted her back, poured her a cup of tea, and pushed it to her. Le Zhi coughed a few times, picked up the teacup and sipped a few sips of tea, and then calmed down.
It's just that the blush on her face deepened, and she muttered in a low voice, "Quick, get better soon."
Huo Du almost laughed at her, he stretched out his finger and poked her in the head, "What are you thinking about?"
Hearing this, Le Zhi looked sideways, and seeing his clear expression, he scratched his head in annoyance. Knowing that she was wrong, she obediently picked up the Laba porridge, scooped half a spoon and handed it over, and said in a coquettish tone, "Do you want to eat it, Your Highness?"
Huo Du didn't speak, just looked at the corners of her raised lips, opened his mouth, and swallowed the Laba porridge that he hated the most.
At the end of the meal, although Huo Du didn't use much, he still ate a few mouthfuls.
Lezhi pursed his lips in satisfaction.
Huo Du threw the purple stone in his hand up and down, playing with it seriously. Seeing that the coldness on him had faded, Le Zhi thought that there was still a batch of tea coming in the afternoon, and she had to go to inspect the goods in person!
- Her business hasn't improved, but she can't relax.
Le Zhi stood up with a smile on his face, "Then Your Highness will play slowly? I'll go to work first."
"Wait." Huo Du took her hand and said suspiciously, "There seems to be something wrong with this stone."
"Ah?" Le Zhi frowned, squatted down, leaned close to his hand, and took a closer look at the purple stone, "What are you asking..."
The inscription has not yet been exported, and the purple stone has been pasted on the cherry lips. A smooth and warm touch came from his lips, and in just a split second, Huo Du took the stone away.
"you... ... "
"I read it wrong, there is no problem." Huo Du said slowly.
Le Zhi never understood his strange behavior, so he didn't bother to bother with him, so he walked away.
Huo Du smiled and stared at her blushing back until she left his sight. After a while, he picked up the warm warm stone, condensed the side where Lezhi's lips had pasted, and then put it on his own lips.
Warmth covered the cool lips, I don't know if it was the warmth of Zishi or the warmth left behind by her.
The whole heart was filled, and the black fog that had originally gathered had to be driven away.
Thinking of Lezhi's slightly upturned lips, he couldn't help but smile.
After a while, Huo Du picked up his cane and walked towards the door.
- The haze of Laba was gone, and he didn't want to trap himself in the study.
Le Zhi should have gone to try the tea... Huo Du gently rubbed the stone in his hand.
Okay, for the gift's sake.
He can go and help her.
But when he walked out of the door, he saw An Xuan standing not far away, waiting.
An Xuan also did not expect that His Highness would come out so quickly, he walked over and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, every time the Crown Princess goes to Xia Feitai, the man who has been quietly following behind the Crown Princess' carriage, caught."
After a pause, An Xuan raised his eyes to look at Huo Du's expression, and then added: "It's from the country of Li."
The brisk smile that rarely appeared on Huo Du's face disappeared in an instant.
