Qiu Yutong stared at the person in front of her, unable to say a word.
It's so late, why is Lu Xiao here
Isn't Qingshuang Yugui Garden sealed by him
How did he come here by himself
"I'm asking you something." Lu Xiao pinched his wrist tightly with five fingers like iron hoops, and said every word, "Where did you learn your sword skills?"
Stared closely by those dark eyes, Qiu Yutong couldn't help but tell the truth: "I realized it myself."
As soon as the words fell, he wanted to slap himself hard.
Lu Xiao knew "Nine Questions of Sword Art"!
Those sword moves just now were all changed from "Nine Questions of Sword Art". Although one is light and elegant, and the other is bleak and stern, they are more or less similar. If I answered this way, I would have revealed my truth!
"You realized it yourself?" Lu Xiao slowly narrowed his eyes.
Qiu Yutong was so nervous that her throat felt a little dry. While secretly cursing herself for being worthless, she made amends in a daze: "Well, it's actually not that difficult to create your own swordsmanship, really."
... In heaven, is there anyone who is looking for love like this? What the hell is he talking about!
Lu Xiao stared at him silently, no emotion could be seen in his cold eyes.
Qiu Yutong's scalp was almost numb from that heavy gaze. If this continues, he feels that he may not be able to last a cup of tea, so he will confess on his own initiative.
Just when he was about to confess, Lu Xiao finally said lightly: "Big words are shameless. It's a pity, it's just a picture of a tiger dog's fists and legs."
As a genius swordsman, Qiu Yutong had never been insulted like this before, and he was almost furious—although the sword moves just now were indeed not lethal, but this broken body with no spiritual power, thin arms and legs, Taking one step and panting three steps, it is already very good to be able to make a broken branch into this shape!
"I know that in Lu Yande's house, there is a monk from the Beihai Sword Sect. Did Lu Yande ask him to teach you these showy things?"
Qiu Yutong stared at Lu Xiao.
The monk this kid is talking about is... Tu Wuwei
It seems that every move of Prince Jin's mansion is under Lu Xiao's surveillance. Is he going to attack King Jin
Wait, it's not the Jin Palace's problem now, the problem now is, how can Tu Wuwei's rampant broken swordsmanship be worthy of teaching himself
Rebuttal, and possibly humiliating exposure.
Admit it... how is it possible? Is Tu Wuwei worthy? !
Lu Xiao said lightly: "Answer me. Yes, or no?"
Qiu Yutong held back for a long time before finally choking out two short words: "No."
I would rather expose my identity than let Tu Wuwei be my cheap master!
"Really?" Lu Xiao sneered softly, lowered his head and leaned closer to his ear, and softened his voice, "I have already checked, Lu Yande tried his best to find you from the kiln, and he also trained/taught you in every way For half a year, I let you pretend in front of me... It's a pity that you are not a liar."
Qiu Yutong got goosebumps from the hot air he breathed in his ears, she stood still and moved her mind quickly.
What does Lu Xiao mean by this
He thinks "Xue Rong" is lying
So... I haven't revealed my secret yet
Qiu Yutong's heart relaxed slightly, she lowered her eyes and said nothing, as if she had acquiesced.
Lu Xiao snorted coldly, and then glanced at Liu Bitao who was prostrate on the ground: "How did you two get in here?"
Liu Bitao trembled and kowtowed desperately: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Seeing that the child was really frightened, Qiu Yutong said calmly, "I brought him in."
"Oh? You're quite courageous." Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows, "It's a capital offense to trespass on the forbidden area of Qingshuang Yugui Garden. Are you guilty?"
"Capital crime?" Qiu Yutong was stunned.
He couldn't help muttering in his heart, it's just a dilapidated barren garden, so what
Lu Xiao, a boy who was reasonable and obedient back then, how did he become like this now
Liu Bitao's small face turned pale, and her lips trembled: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, that's not the case. Actually, yes, yes, I brought him here... He, he, he couldn't find it here..."
Lu Xiao didn't even bother to look at him, his dark eyes only stared at Qiu Yutong: "However, I can give you a chance to live."
Liu Bitao immediately said, "He brought me here."
Clean and neat, without muddy water.
Qiu Yutong: "..."
In vain he was touched.
Lu Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth, as if laughing at their false brotherhood.
Qiu Yutong said helplessly, "What chance?"
"Go back and tidy up, and move to the west wing of the Jingxin Hall."
"Move to... Jingxin Palace?" Qiu Yutong hesitated, "This seems to be against the rules."
What does Lu Xiao want to do
This kid is so pure-minded that he looks like a monk, and he doesn't like masculinity. Does he want to keep an eye on him
"In the Daning Palace, every word I say is a rule. Besides, your master sent you to the palace after a lot of trouble, isn't it just to let you get close to me? I will give you this opportunity." Lu Xiao Said lightly.
"No..." Qiu Yutong was really powerless to argue.
He was really suffering, but after a second thought, he entered the meditation hall. Although there was a risk of exposure, he was one step closer to Ye Yu.
One step closer to Ye Yu, one step closer to Shuo Xuecheng!
Thinking of this, Qiu Yutong cheered up, and nodded cheerfully: "I will move there tomorrow."
Lu Xiao seemed to have expected his answer, and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes: "That's right, why bother to pretend."
"I'm not pretending..." Qiu Yutong paused, her voice involuntarily lowered, "I'm not pretending."
He suddenly felt a little guilty, it seemed that he was really pretending...
Although his "pretentiousness" is not quite the same as the "pretentiousness" in Lu Xiao's mouth, but what he shows is probably a look of ulterior motives.
Lu Xiao smiled: "This trick of playing hard to get, I don't know how many people have played it in front of me... Since you were born in that kind of place, you have been transferred/taught by King Jin for more than half a year, so you are naturally more proficient."
Qiu Yutong: "..."
Forget it, he has nothing to say, just shut up.
"Actually, these are none of my business." Lu Xiao gently squeezed Qiu Yutong's chin, his tone was soft and low, but there was a certain coldness, "But, with this face on your face, I... nausea."
Then, he let go of Qiu Yutong and walked away without hesitation.
…
A golden ginkgo leaf hit Xuan'er and slowly fell at Qiu Yutong's feet.
"Alas." Sitting on the threshold, Qiu Yutong reached out to pick up the leaves, and couldn't help sighing.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the ginkgo leaves are turning yellow. It has been almost two months since he was reborn in this body, but he still hasn't got Ye Yu.
A few days ago, Liu Bitao took him to Qingshuang Yugui Garden, but was bumped into by Lu Xiao, and he was forced to move to the Jingxin Hall the next day.
It might be said that he was forced, but not entirely. After all, he was still counting on the chance to get in touch with Ye Yu if he got closer to Lu Xiao.
Who would have thought that he had moved here for so many days, not to mention Ye Yu, and he didn't even see Lu Xiao's shadow!
This kid's schedule is so strict to the point of insanity!
At the end of Yinshi early in the morning, he got up to practice his sword unshakably. After an hour, he went to court, then went to the military aircraft office to discuss matters with important ministers, and then returned to the study room of Jingxin Palace to review papers. hour.
Two hours! !
But Qiu Yutong is lazy and easy-going, he likes to let nature take its course, when he was in Shuo Xuecheng, he stayed in bed every day, and his seniors also pampered him, and he has long formed a habit. Now this body is very weak, and he has to sleep for four full hours every day, otherwise he will feel dizzy.
One went to bed late and got up early, and the other went to bed early and got up late, so he couldn't see Lu Xiao at all.
This is how to do
How about staying up late tonight, or getting up early tomorrow to see if I can meet Lu Xiao? But seeing Lu Xiao, what can he say
"Your Majesty, please lend me that sword."
I want to know how Lu Xiao will answer... No, he won't answer at all, he will only look at himself coldly with the eyes of a fool.
Qiu Yutong sighed with a headache, and exhaled a white cloud of cold air.
"My lord, my lord, isn't it a bit cold?" Xiao Xizi was fiddling with a small and exquisite brass heater beside him, he seemed to see that Qiu Yutong seemed a little cold, so he quickly pushed the stove to this side.
Qiu Yutong put her hands on the stove and roasted, absently said: "This stove is good."
Xiao Xizi beamed and said: "That, that's not it! Well, this brass stove was specially sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs! Also, there is this silver charcoal, which only the nobles can use. This time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs directly left it for us." Fifty catties! A full fifty catties! Well, that’s great, you don’t have to worry about this winter.”
Qiu Yutong couldn't tell the difference between gold silk charcoal and silver silk charcoal at all, and she wasn't interested, so she just said "huh" casually.
Xiaoxizi's chatterbox opened, but it was not so easy to close: "Young master, young master, did you see the few pieces of fabric that the little one brought back yesterday? They are all high-quality brocade, and there is also a piece of water-red silk embroidery." , especially for skin tone! Tomorrow, when I’m young, I’ll go to the weaving workshop and ask Sun Xiuniang to make some clothes for the young master, so that the young master can dress up beautifully…”
Qiu Yutong couldn't laugh or cry: "Xiao Xizi, do you still want to paint me up?"
Xiao Xizi was slightly taken aback: "My lord, you, how do you know there are powders and spices? Do you want to try it? You are so pretty, my lord. Then, dress up a little bit more. Your Majesty must have seen it..."
"Stop, stop." Qiu Yutong felt goosebumps rising, "Lu... His Majesty doesn't even have a shadow, are you thinking too much?"
Xiao Xizi blinked her eyes, seemed to have thought of this question, and was silent for a while.
After a while, he patted the back of Qiu Yutong's hand gently as if comforting: "Master, son, don't worry. I heard that His Majesty will return to the bedroom early on the fifteenth day of every month. Isn't today the fifteenth day? Say, Maybe, His Majesty will call the young master to sleep tonight..."
Qiu Yutong said weakly: "Xiao Xizi, I beg you, can you stop talking about this topic."
Xiao Xizi hurriedly said: "Young Master, Young Master, don't be discouraged. Little, what you say is true, Your Majesty will definitely call Young Master to attend..."
Qiu Yutong quickly raised her hand to prevent him from continuing to say anything surprising: "Didn't you send two sets of quilts to the Huanyi Supervisor for cleaning a few days ago? You should be able to pick them up today."
Xiao Xizi jumped up with an "ouch!"
Qiu Yutong looked at his back as he left in a hurry, and shook her head helplessly.
This kid is very nice, but sometimes it really makes him a little too much.
He was bored sitting on the threshold, watching two little sparrows pecking earthworms on the ground, couldn't help stretching out his hand to tease them, suddenly he paused slightly, his nostrils fluttered slightly - the sweet scent of osmanthus cake.
His stomach just grumbled.
That's right, Xiao Xizi said just now, today is fifteen again. On the fifteenth of every month, Lu Xiao would go back to the Jingxin Hall in advance to make a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
So, Lu Xiao is making osmanthus cake in the small kitchen
Qiu Yutong was suddenly a little curious, wondering what it was like to cook after this kid became the emperor
He was really hungry and bored. After hesitating for a moment, he finally stood up and sneaked into the small kitchen.
The small kitchen is in the southwest corner of the meditation hall. Qiu Yutong passed by, and the aroma became more and more intense. He tiptoed to the outside of the kitchen window, wet his fingers, and then lightly poked the paper on the window lattice.
A small hole was quietly broken in the paper on the window lattice. Qiu Yutong fixed her eyes on the small hole and stared intently.
Sure enough, Lu Xiao was inside.
His slender figure was facing the window sideways, and he was playing with the glutinous rice in a small steamer. The glutinous rice was white and plump, mixed with some golden sweet-scented osmanthus, which looked very attractive.
Qiu Yutong couldn't help but sniffed lightly. The strong aroma just now should be from the steamed sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice.
Lu Xiao sprinkled a layer of cooked sesame seeds and crushed peanuts on the chopping board, then poured the sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice on top, and gently patted and kneaded it with his slender fingers until the glutinous rice was covered with cooked sesame seeds and crushed peanuts , turned into a rectangular glutinous rice osmanthus cake, and carefully cut this tempting glutinous rice osmanthus cake into finger-sized strips, and finally put it into a snow-white plate.
He did it step by step, with an extremely serious expression, almost like reviewing military aircraft memorials, Qiu Yutong couldn't help but secretly laughed.
Lu Xiao was a kid who was greedy when he was a teenager, but now he is the king of a country, and he still sneaks in every month to make sweet-scented osmanthus cakes... Tsk tsk.
After a while, Lu Xiao finally set the plate, but he didn't use it. He just stared blankly at the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake with a dazed expression.
He looked at it for a long time, and then whispered to himself: "This time, I added some other things to the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which is different from the previous ones...really."
Qiu Yutong was used to his sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, so it was obvious that this time the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes were made of glutinous rice instead of the usual glutinous rice flour, and added cooked sesame seeds and fried crushed peanuts, which looked very delicious.
After Lu Xiao talked to himself, he was silent for a moment.
Then, he suddenly sneered very lightly, and murmured: "I'm so fucking cheap."
