On the lake surface in early spring, high and low lotus leaves stretched out on the water waves. In the light of the setting sun, the lotus leaves were covered with a layer of crystal silver light, as if there was a thin layer of snow or light smoke, hazy and distant. .
Xia Chu heard his whisper, but she could only pretend not to hear it, pretend to call Dot's name, leave his side, and look for the fiery red that jumped among the flowers.
Yue Fengwan looked at her back as she walked past him, feeling a sour and suffocating pain in her heart.
The light blue eyes suddenly became colder in the warm sunset, but the girl in front suddenly looked back, holding a red fur ball in her arms with a smile, tilted her head and called to him: "The moon wind is holding you, why don't you call me" Let’s go to Fengcheng together with Meng’an. After today, there may be no chance.”
"good."
In an instant, the coldness in his eyes dissipated, the ice melted and the snow melted, and the spring mountains were like smiles.
Yue Fengwan did not go to look for Lan Yuying with her and asked Fei Lian to take her to Xianyu Palace while he went to prepare for leaving the palace.
Perhaps, he also intentionally wanted to leave the two of them alone to reminisce about the past.
When Xia Chu led Bian Ding and followed Fei Lian to the Xianyu Palace, the first person to rush into the palace was Dot and Dian at his feet, jumping into the window like a cluster of burning flames.
"Diandian?"
Lan Yuying's disbelieving but joyful voice sounded in the hall, and there was a trace of tears of joy in the gentle and clear voice.
He licked the palm of her hand affectionately, and then climbed up her ankle with all his strength, pushing desperately into her arms. The small red ball was soft and warm, as if it melted on the fingertips. He couldn't help but hug it a little tighter and suddenly realized that he was the one who could take it into the Western Region.
At this moment, he should be outside the palace.
Her stroking hand paused for a moment, then her eyes fell on the palace door, her expression dazed.
I was looking forward to her stepping in, but I was also afraid that she would... step in.
Xia Chu, who had changed into a red dress, was clad in the bright spring sun, which made her skin as white as jade in the setting sun, extremely transparent. The moment she just entered the palace, Lan Yuying didn't recognize it. This beauty was scorching and radiant. The human girl is Xia Chu who has grown up with him.
It's really no wonder that she has poor eyesight. Since she came down from the mountain, Xia Chu has only seen her wearing women's clothes once when she went to Kunning Palace to see her.
That time, she was still dressed as a maid, without any makeup or costumes, so she couldn't compare to how gorgeous she is now.
It wasn't until Diandian jumped off her body and shuttled back and forth between their feet that she came back from her daze and opened her mouth, but she couldn't call out the name.
"Yuefeng Wan said he would take us around Fengcheng." Xia Chu walked towards her with a smile.
Lan Yuying looked at her outstretched hand, but the arm she wanted to lift seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. She looked a little hesitant, and it took her a long time to say: "I..."
Seeing this, Xia Chu took two steps forward, gently took her hand, and asked warmly: "If I asked about that night, would you tell me?"
Lan Yuying's originally jade-like face turned pale, but she still nodded and said softly: "Yes."
The corners of Xia Chu's lips curved up again, and his other hand hugged her shoulders affectionately: "Then let's go out and have a good time. We'll talk about those troublesome things when we get back. I don't want to keep them in my heart. The burden will ruin the good mood of eating and drinking."
Lan Yuying's eyes softened, and her long eyelashes drooped slightly, covering up the panic in her eyes.
Xia Chu had already pulled her out of the hall, just like when she was a child and encouraged her to leave behind the books that Bai Ruofei had taught her and take her to climb trees and hunt birds.
A helpless and conniving smile appeared on Lan Yuying's lips. When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and pulled her: "Between you and your brother?"
Xia Chu's eyebrows furrowed, and his face pretended to be angry: "Please don't mention this again before we come back."
Although it was a question at the end, she couldn't refuse.
Lan Yuying's shoulders were picked up by her again, and Diandian was already wagging her tail and took the lead out of the hall. Lan Yuying had no choice but to hold her head against the headache: "Achu, since you are wearing a skirt, don't be like this It’s so careless…”
Only then did Xia Chu realize that when they were at the lake, Yue Fengwan suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth and raised his forehead to look at the sky. Why...
She smiled awkwardly twice, but the way she stretched out her hands to cover it up was not like a woman hiding her face shyly, but like a man holding a fist to his lips and coughing softly.
Lan Yuying completely regarded her as Kuchiki, but she didn't even bother to say it this time...
In fact, Xia Chu was not incapable of that kind of graceful gesture. After all, in her previous life, Concubine Qi taught her by words and deeds.
If she is in front of a stranger, or in a specific environment, she can fool people into believing her completely.
But in front of people she knew well, she couldn't maintain her so-called grace and graceful appearance.
After Fei Lian sent Xia Chu to Xianyu Palace, he went to Mingyue Palace to resume his life. Only Ziluo and Bian Ding were left at the door, standing with their hands down and looking at each other in silence.
After seeing Xia Chu and Lan Yuying come out, Bian Ding followed them consciously, and Zi Luo also consciously led the way.
After walking through the rattan corridor, passing through the pavilions and pavilions, and crossing a field of flower trees, Xia Chu and Lan Yuying meet Yuefengwan at the end of the original Shiting trail.
The three of them were like friends who had known each other for many years and were meeting for a trip. They were not unfamiliar but seemed to be very friendly.
The three people following behind, Bian Ding and Zi Luo said nothing, while Fei Lian was sandwiched between the two of them, talking endlessly.
"Doesn't your master find you annoying?" Bian Ding endured it again and again, and finally spoke out unbearably.
"He always only replies 'yes' in front of the prince." Zi Luo rarely opened her mouth, but Fei Lian's face looked slightly embarrassed.
"It turns out I was holding it back. I've worked hard on the ears of you people in the past." Bian Ding was very happy to see him feeling depressed.
Fei Lian raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly, then asked aloud: "What should you call me?"
Bian Ding looked miserable, and when he saw him raising his chin again, he sneered and shouted at him: "I call you uncle!"
Although this voice was not hoarse, it was slightly louder with a hint of anger, causing the three masters walking in front to turn around at the same time.
Yue Fengwan's face was as calm as ever, while Lan Yuying's face was slightly suspicious and surprised.
Xia Chu's face showed a narrow look, and he asked Bian Ding: "Why are you a generation shorter for no reason?"
There was no need for Fei Lian to say anything, he was laughing so hard that even Zi Luo pursed his lips and couldn't help laughing.
The red color on Bian Ding's cheek reached behind his ears, and he remained silent and said nothing, thinking in his heart that Xia Chu was not the one who did something good, causing him to lose a bet inexplicably.
I really don’t want to stay in this restless Western Region for a day...
