In front of her was the scent of crabapple flowers, and behind her was the warm and broad embrace of a man. At this moment, she had to admit that she was a little moved.
Wei Luo's ears were itchy, she shrank her shoulders, and said softly, not daring to disturb Yang Zhen and Zhao Liuli who were opposite, "What are you going to Shaanxi for?"
The little girl always rejects him on the lips, but she cares about him in her heart. Zhao Jie hugged her waist tighter, buried her neck and took a deep breath of her body, "Drought happened there, and the disaster was serious. Father ordered me to go to relieve the disaster, and I will leave the day after tomorrow." After a pause, he kissed her neck and said, "Don't worry, this king will come back soon."
She has an elegant fragrance, not too strong, you can only smell it when you get close. It doesn't look like it's smoked from ordinary spices, but it's like the smell steamed from the bone marrow, which is alluring. So Zhao Jie likes to hug her like this and smell her fragrance. At the end, I couldn't help but sighed: "Little guy, what kind of spice are you wearing on your body? It smells so good, why hasn't this king smelled it before?"
Wei Luo's ears turned red. He used to be well-behaved, acting like a considerate big brother. Where did you hug her so close? Now he hugged her more and more smoothly, and he didn't even ask for her permission.
She learned this fragrance from Han Shi. It has been mixed with the flower juice of seven kinds of flowers including rose, musk, jasmine and jasmine. A basket full of petals can only be made into a small white porcelain bottle of essence. Wei Luo was reluctant to use it, so she could only drip three or five drops into the bathtub every day when she took a bath. Even so, her body exuded a faint fragrance every time after taking a bath. She has been bathing like this since she was eight or nine years old, and it has been five years now, so it's no wonder it doesn't smell good.
Wei Luo opened his hands, escaped from his embrace, and said in a low voice, dissatisfied: "Big brother, just talk, don't always touch your hands. What should you do if someone sees you?"
The embrace was suddenly empty, Zhao Jie felt a little regretful, and when he heard her words, he curled his thin lips and smiled: "If someone sees you, you can only marry me, isn't it just right?"
Wei Luo fell silent.
Behind the crabapple tree, Zhao Liuli and Yang Zhen probably hadn't left yet, and the sound of the two rubbing each other's ears came intermittently and reached her ears. Her pretty face was flushed red, but fortunately it was already late at this time, the surrounding light was dim and hazy, and the expression on her face could not be seen clearly.
Seeing that she was silent, Zhao Jie asked again: "A Luo, when I come back from Shaanxi, will you marry me?"
She narrowed her eyes and said slowly, "I have to think about it."
Marriage is not a trifling matter, he brought it up abruptly, and she wasn't even prepared for it. Originally, she only planned to call off her marriage with Song Hui, but never thought about what kind of person she would marry. Now she still has a marriage contract, but he can't wait to marry her and go home. Of course, she has to think carefully about such a big matter.
It's just that Wei Luo suddenly remembered that once when he was in Jinghe Villa, he stood in front of her and asked her what kind of person she wanted to marry in the future. She said it was nice to her, and he asked—
"Is it as good as this king treats you?"
At that time, she thought he was joking and fooled him with a few casual words. Now that I think about it, that might not be the case. It turned out that he had harbored ill intentions towards her since then!
Wei Luo suddenly realized, the strange thing was that she didn't get angry at all, instead, an inexplicable feeling fermented in her heart, swollen, filling her whole atrium little by little. She raised her long eyelashes, met Zhao Jie's unfathomable black eyes that looked at her motionlessly, and suddenly said: "Big brother."
Zhao Jie gave a soft "hmm" and patted her little head: "Okay, whatever you say is what you want. But you can't think about it for too long. I will get your answer when I come back from Shaanxi."
She didn't dodge this time, she looked straight at him, her dark almond eyes were shining brightly, "but I have one condition."
Zhao Jie paused slightly.
There are conditions? He promised her to think about it, and it's not bad that he didn't ask her for a condition. How dare this little guy ask him for a condition
He laughed dumbfoundedly, nodded and said: "You say."
The little girl looked serious, blinking her big eyes, "You can't kiss me until I think about it."
The smile on Zhao Jie's face froze, and he couldn't laugh anymore.
But that little mouth didn't know what he was thinking, opened and closed, and continued: "You can't touch me either."
Wei Luo's thinking was very simple, she was not married yet, and she was an innocent young girl in her boudoir, so what's the matter with cuddling him all the time? It's fine to hug her, but he always kisses her without even saying hello. Now no one sees it, if anyone sees it, her reputation will be completely ruined.
Zhao Jie thought about it carefully, he was going to leave in the future, and after going away for a month or two, he would not be able to kiss her or hug her, so there was nothing to think about. When he came back from Shaanxi, she had already thought about it at that time, so this condition would not count. He nodded and scratched her upturned little nose: "Okay, I promise you."
She took a step back, covered her nose, and stared at him with round eyes: "It's agreed that you won't move, that's why the elder brother agreed, so why doesn't it count?"
Zhao Jie raised his hand: "..."
Zhao Jie sent Wei Luo back to the British government that night, which was quite customary. The two were sitting in the carriage, and he could only look at her from a distance, even if he wanted to hug her delicate and soft body.
Wei Luo seemed to be in a good mood. When she got home, she went to the main room to talk to Wei Kun, and then went to talk to Chang Hong for a while.
Wei Kun and Chang Hong were a little worried when they saw her not coming back. If they didn't know that she had gone to the palace, Zhang Luo must have gone to find her. Seeing that she came back safely, both of them felt relieved and asked her why she came back so late.
Wei Luo sat on the round embroidered pier with Peng Ya's bulging legs, resting her cheeks and replied without changing her face and heartbeat: "Liuli is in a bad mood, so I stayed with her for a while and stopped by her Chenhua Palace We had dinner together."
Wei Changhong was sitting behind a desk with red lacquer inlaid with mother-of-pearl and ivory inlaid with an upturned head. There was a book in front of him, which was the "Zuo Zhuan" that Mr. Xue talked about today. He is smart, and he learns faster than others. He has almost learned the Thirteen Classics at the age of thirteen that others read at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Now he is just reviewing it again.
Hearing this, Wei Changhong didn't doubt that he was there, so he got up and went to the Duobao Pavilion to take something out and brought it to her, "This is the candy ear and sesame candy I bought on the street in the evening, I remember you said a few days ago I wanted to eat it, but I happened to see it today, so I bought it for you."
Wei Luo took it, and couldn't help being moved: "I just said it casually..."
She did have a sudden craving for sweet things a few days ago, and she casually said that she wanted to eat candy ears and sesame candies, but she herself forgot, but he still kept it in mind. Wei Luo put the oiled paper bag on the table, opened it, pinched a piece of candy ear and put it in his mouth, it was sweet, crispy and soft. She took another piece and fed it to Chang Hong, "It's so delicious, you can eat one too."
Chang Hong opened his mouth, ate it with her hand, chewed it, and was about to say something when his eyes suddenly stopped on her earlobe, staring at her motionlessly.
Wei Luo was inexplicably stared at by his eyes, and asked inexplicably, "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"
His eyes deepened, he raised his hand to touch her small ear, and said expressionlessly: "There is a tooth mark here." Then he looked up at her, "Ah Luo, who bit this?"
Wei Luo froze subconsciously, and forgot to chew the candy ears in her mouth. Of course she knew who bit it. At night in the backyard of Chenhua Palace, Zhao Jie bit her ear a few times. She didn't care at the time. Is it still there? But she didn't feel much pain when Zhao Jie bit her!
Wei Luo was surprised in her heart, but she put on a calm and calm look on her face, covered her ears and let out a soft "oh", "Well, this is me playing with Liuli... How many times did I drive her?" Just a joke, when she got angry, she bit it off my ear."
At this time, Liu Li could only be sorry, Zhao Jie could not be confessed... If this was the case, wouldn't Chang Hong immediately rush to Prince Jing's mansion to settle the score with him
When Wei Changhong heard this, he straightened his face, and was suddenly a little unhappy: "She will bite you if you joke with her? Don't play with her in the future."
Wei Luo couldn't help but "puchi" a smile, he was too obvious to protect his shortcomings, which made her, a liar, feel a little embarrassed.
Later, Wei Luo fed him a few candy ears and said a few kind words to Zhao Liuli, so he reluctantly did not pursue this matter. Seeing that it was getting late, Wei Luo got up to say goodbye, went back to her room to wash and change, and got ready for bed.
She slept very peacefully this time, hardly had any dreams, and slept until the next morning, feeling very energetic.
On the contrary, Li Xiang in Zhaoyang Palace was not very good.
Li Xiang sat in front of the Zhaoyang Hall and memorized books all night. She fell asleep from the memorization. She fell asleep in the rose chair several times, but she was called out mercilessly by Mother Qiu. In the morning of the next day, she finally finished reciting twenty chapters of "Internal Training", and finished it in one breath in front of Mother Qiu, before Empress Chen allowed her to leave the palace.
But one morning, she seemed to be much haggard. There were bloodshot eyes, black circles under the eye sockets, and a very pale complexion, completely no longer the bright and beautiful appearance of the past.
Li Xiang and Princess Gaoyang walked out of Qingxi Palace together, and got on the carriage back home.
In the black lacquered carriage, Li Xiang finally couldn't help but threw himself into the arms of Princess Gao Yang and cried, "Mother..."
Princess Gaoyang felt very distressed, she took her into her arms, patted her on the back to comfort her and said, "Xiang'er, be good, don't cry... After you get home, get a good sleep, as if nothing happened yesterday."
The one who taught her personally was the empress, the most honorable woman in Daliang, so what if she is the eldest princess? Her status is still inferior to her. Zhao Xuan was definitely not convinced. She and Empress Chen have always been at odds, and now that her daughter has been punished by her again, can she feel better
Although the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, her hands are stretched too long!
Li Xiang cried aggrievedly, and soon wet the front of her chest, out of breath, said: "That hairpin... all blame Wei Luo..."
Although the hairpin was broken by Li Xiang, she originally wanted to trick Wei Luo, but she didn't expect Wei Luo to take over the army instead! She was dissatisfied in her heart, but she couldn't say it out, so she could only hold back all the grievances in her heart, turning them into tears and crying out together.
Princess Gaoyang didn't understand what she said in the last sentence, she felt sorry for her being wronged, and as a mother she couldn't help her, so she hugged her and said: "Good Xianger, my stepmother bought you a lot of hairpins when I go back. Do you like Zhao Liuli's? Mother, let someone make you an identical one, okay?"
She shook her head and said sobbingly: "I don't want it, what's so good about Zhao Liuli's stuff? I'm the one who cares about it."
The carriage quickly drove to the gate of Ruyang Prince's Mansion and stopped in front of the gate, and the maid at the gate quickly stepped forward to take them after them.
King Ruyang waited for their mother and daughter all night, and seeing them come back safely, he was finally relieved and came forward to greet them. He received the news from the palace last night, he only knew that Empress Chen wanted to keep Li Xiang for a night, but he didn't know exactly what happened.
Li Xiang wiped away tears, and got off the carriage in front of Princess Gaoyang with red eyes.
Right now, seeing the appearance of his precious daughter, King Ruyang couldn't help saying: "Xiang'er, this is..."
Before he finished speaking, he was glared at by Princess Gao Yang. He immediately silenced, did not continue to ask, smiled and said: "It's good when you come back, is Xiang'er tired? Your brother is waiting in the main room, and Daddy specially prepared a table of dishes for you, all of which you like to eat. "
A group of people walked towards the main hall, and when they were approaching the entrance of the main hall, Ruyang Wang Li Zhiliang shouted: "Song'er, your mother and sister are back, why don't you come out to pick them up?"
In the hall, sitting on the sour branch wood chair is a young man wearing a straight gown with indigo calamus pattern. He has clear eyes and his appearance has not changed from before. There was a shallow birthmark under the corner of his eye, and he looked up, revealing a pair of dark and deep eyes.
He calmly put the emerald golden cicada hairpin in his sleeve, stood up, and walked out the door.
