Drizzle wet streamer. It was September, the water was blue and the pool was cold and clear, the smoke was condensed and the mountains were purple at dusk. Heian-kyo is also affected by autumn. As the red leaves in the capital gradually became more colorful, the day when Yuji gave birth was getting closer. According to the customs at that time, because of the superstitious belief that childbirth was a kind of filth, once a woman in the palace became pregnant, she had to leave the palace and return to her natal family to give birth. , and then enter the palace after giving birth to a child. So Yuji also returned to her natal home Zuo Minister's house to wait for delivery.
You Ji's personal maids, the Prime Minister and Sha Luo, naturally followed her back to Minister Zuo's mansion. Minister Zuo and Lord He Mao Zhongxing also breathed a sigh of relief. These days in the palace are finally safe and sound, and then they will wait for the East Palace with peace of mind. born.
In order for Yuji to go into labor smoothly, the emperor specially asked Qingming and the others to come to the left minister's mansion to hold an exorcism ceremony.
Seeing Qingming again, Shaluo couldn't help but glance at his shoulder, thinking of the embarrassing incident last time, feeling a little embarrassed. She actually left her own saliva mark on Qingming, who is obsessed with cleanliness, she, she has the urge to kill her when she thinks about it.
Qingming still smiled lightly, as if she knew what she was thinking. "I've already washed it clean." He still had to say that.
"Mm, um, Father, is he alright?" Sha Luo quickly changed the subject. Tadyuki-sama entrusted Seimei with all the rituals this time.
"Master, he's fine." "And brother Baoxian? Are you busy dating a new lover again?" Sha Luo blinked mischievously.
"He's very busy." Qingming's answer was concise, as if hesitating for a moment, he asked again, "Shaluo, when... are you going to leave the palace?"
"Leaving the palace?" She was stunned for a moment, "I'm not coming out now?"
"I mean, when did you resign as housemaid?"
"Oh... let's wait until Dong Gong is born. I also don't think it's fun to be a housewife, so I want to go home soon." Sha Luo lowered his head and said.
A barely visible smile flashed across Qingming's face.
The red leaves in the courtyard kept dancing, like butterflies flying, falling on the bluestone floor in the courtyard from time to time, and occasionally a few mischievously fell on Qingming's pure white hunting clothes, sliding down gently. He just looked at Sharo quietly without saying a word.
"If there are so many butterflies flying around, it must be very beautiful." Shaluo turned his head slightly, looking at Hongye and said.
Qingming smiled softly, walked up behind her suddenly, and covered her eyes with his hands.
"Hey, Qingming, what are you doing!" Sha Luo was taken aback and wanted to break his hand, "Sha Luo, close your eyes, just for a while." He whispered, and she faintly heard him seem to read something Can't help but feel a little confused about the incantation, what the hell is Qingming doing
After a while, he slowly moved his hand away.
"You can open your eyes, Shaluo." His clear voice sounded gently in her ears.
"Ah!" Sha Luo couldn't help exclaiming as soon as he opened his eyes.
What a scene in front of me! Countless red leaves have turned into colorful butterflies, dancing in the wind. Suddenly, the courtyard is full of butterflies flying. At this moment, Shaluo only feels that he is in a dream. So unreal, but everything is so beautiful.
"It's so beautiful..." Sharo murmured. Just when she was about to turn her head to look at Qingming, she found that he was already standing beside her, and then she felt her own hand was surrounded by warmth, and when she looked down, Qingming had gently held her hand.
Her heart jumped again...
The excessive tension made her breathless...
Qingming, Qingming took her hand, what to do, what should she do, she felt her face was on fire, and it became more and more difficult to breathe.
It was not easy for her to stabilize her mind, and looked at Qingming, Qingming's face was also slightly flushed, she felt his palms were hot, and he was sweating densely, could it be that Qingming would also be nervous? Sha Luo couldn't help being a little surprised, it turns out that a young man with a calm and clear sky will also be nervous sometimes? It turns out that she is not the only one who is nervous... Seimei is the same.
Thinking of this, her breathing gradually became smoother, and the feeling of tension decreased little by little. What came to her heart was a feeling that was so gentle that it was about to melt. It felt very comfortable and comfortable to hold hands like this. Her heart seemed to be filled with honey, full of sweetness.
Unknowingly, she also tightened Qingming's hand, Qingming felt her response, her hand tightened even more.
The two joined hands quietly watching the colorful butterflies flying in the sky, immersed in this tender moment, neither of them wanted to let go first.
"Shaluo, the right minister sent someone to deliver a letter again." The voice of the little prime minister broke the harmonious atmosphere very inappropriately.
Qingming immediately let go of her, and with a light wave of her hand, the butterfly turned back into a red leaf in an instant, and it fell down gracefully.
Sha Luo frowned. Since that day, Yuan Gaoming's love letters appeared one after another. Sometimes she really admired his patience and sent them from the palace to the left minister's residence.
"Minister on the Right really cares about Sha Luo. When you come here, you keep writing love letters every day. It's really enviable. Sha Luo, are you so cruel?" The little prime minister put the letter into Sha Luo's hand while talking. He winked at her again.
Sha Luo felt that this letter was really like a hot potato, especially when she received the letter in front of Qingming, she felt even more uneasy.
"Okay, it's time for me to preside over the exorcism ceremony." Qingming's face returned to his usual coldness, and he turned and left.
Sha Luo stood there blankly, looking at Qingming's back, feeling a little bored in his heart. Qingming, is he angry? Damn Yuan Gaoming, why did you send the letter at this time... After this incident, Sha Luo simply asked the little prime minister to return all the letters from the right ministers in the future, so as not to upset her.
The red leaves in the garden are burning heartily on the branches, showing off wantonly, as if the power accumulated for many years is blooming once again, fierce and indulgent. Looking at such beautiful red leaves, Shaluo couldn't help but think of that time when she and Qingming looked at the butterflies hand in hand.
A small smile formed on his lips.
If you can do this, if you keep holding hands...
While thinking about it, she inadvertently glanced to the side, just in time to see the little prime minister sneaking towards the door, Sha Luo couldn't help being a little puzzled. Recently, the young prime minister's whereabouts seemed to be a little erratic, and she also asked several times insincerely, but the young prime minister still refused to answer.
Shaluo looked up at the sky, it was already very late. So late, where does she want to go? Thinking of this, Sha Luo hesitated for a moment, followed her out of the Zuo Chancellor's Mansion, turned east and west on the street, and followed her into an abandoned mansion.
This is a desolate, uninhabited mansion, why did the young prime minister come here so late? Sha Luo was puzzled, seeing the young prime minister flashing into a room quickly, she also followed. I only heard a man's low voice from inside: "Come?"
"Well, my lord, I really miss you." There was a hint of coquettishness in the little prime minister's voice.
Sha Luo was stunned for a moment, could it be that the young prime minister came to meet his lover privately? It's just that, choosing a date like this, this lover might be weird, right
She looked in from the lattice window, and faintly saw the little prime minister hugging a man in a thick scarlet hunting suit. The man did not wear a black hat, and his long hair poured like a waterfall. He bowed his head , kissed the little prime minister's hair, although he couldn't see his face clearly, Shaluo already felt a bone-chilling chill, this man didn't seem like a human being... "You said that you were willing to give everything for me, Even death, right?" His voice seemed to come from far away.
"Of course, my lord, I am willing to die for you." The young prime minister said softly. As she spoke, she undressed the man.
Ahh, they don't mean to be here... Sha Luo blushed and hesitated for a moment. Just as he was considering whether to leave, he suddenly heard the man's voice again: "Then, it's time to die for me."
Sha Luo was startled, and couldn't help but glanced inside again. The young prime minister was burying his head in the man's arms, when the man suddenly raised his head, and when he saw his face clearly, Sha Luo couldn't help being shocked. The appearance and demeanor of the man were somewhat similar to Yuan Gaoming's, but lacked Yuan Gaoming's brilliance and a little more ghostly aura, more like a blood-colored cherry blossom blooming faintly in the dark night.
At this time, a surprising thing happened, the man's hair suddenly turned fiery red, two sharp horns grew rapidly on his forehead, his fangs were bared ferociously, and he was about to attack the little prime minister. bite off the neck.
Shaluo turned pale with fright, it turned out that this man is really a ghost! She let out a soft cry in surprise, and as soon as she made a sound, the man noticed it immediately. He smiled slightly and said, "So there are other guests."
As soon as he finished speaking, his red hair grew wildly like weeds, passed through the sliding door, wrapped Shaluo who was about to run away, and dragged her into the room.
Even Sha Luo had seen many ghosts, and now he was quite frightened, so he could only blame himself for being too curious.
The man has returned to his original appearance.
Standing up, the young prime minister just let out a scream when he saw Sha Luo, and fell down limply.
"You killed her?" Sha Luo was shocked and angry.
"That's what I planned." The man walked over slowly, bent down, and raised her chin, "However, I've changed my mind now."
"Changing your mind?" Hearing what he said, the little prime minister seemed to be fine, and she breathed a sigh of relief, but the great uneasiness immediately struck again.
"You look more delicious." He smiled like a hydrangea swaying in the wind.
The corner of Sha Luo's mouth began to twitch, what, what, she tastes better
"You'd better not eat me, eat, eat...I don't taste good. I have thick skin and thick meat, you must not be able to bite it. It would be better to eat chicken, duck and fish." She said incoherently, shaking vigorously head on.
He laughed loudly: "It seems that you are not only delicious, but also very interesting. You are the first woman who can say so much when I say that I want to eat her." He paused, "In this case, how about I'll take you back and think about how to eat slowly."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and firmly grasped Sharo's wrist.
Sha Luo only felt darkness in front of his eyes, and his consciousness began to lose. Before he passed out, the only thing he could think of was - Seimei, help!
After a burst of red smoke, only the little prime minister who was still in a coma was left in the dilapidated room.
