Chapter 974 (1/2)
The night was very deep, and Nangong Yue fell asleep.
Since Xiao Yi left, a lot of things have happened to Wang Du one after another. All along, she has been supporting herself and taking precautions step by step, so that she can't sleep well at night. However, as the day of Xiao Yi's return is approaching, all the pressure on her shoulder seems to be swept away, and her mood can not help relaxing. Especially in these two days, she can feel the dawn.
Just tonight
Nangong Yue was confused. Somehow, she seemed to feel something rubbing her cheek. Her eyebrows moved and murmured vaguely: ”Xiaobai...”
”Meow --”
the cat's soft voice made Nangong Yue wake up in a flash. She opened her eyes, on a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes, shining in the dark, just like a pool of light.
He looked at her with a smile and purred again.
It's him!
Nangong Yue suddenly sat up and looked at him foolishly. He seemed to have no reaction for a moment.
Are you dreaming?
Xiao Yi see her for a long time no response, a will Nangong Yue in the arms.
His familiar and unfamiliar warm chest made Nangong Yue feel sour. She felt that her eyes were hot, and a layer of mist appeared before her eyes.
She buried her face on his shoulder, and a thousand words turned into six words:
”a Yi, you are back!”
Yue's, not from the high side of the palace, I'm holding my slender waist
Nangong Yue took a deep breath and surrounded her with his arms. When he smelled the faint smell of sweat on his body, he felt that his heart was steadfast. She said to herself, he has come back, what do you have to cry!
”Princess, do you want water?” Lily, who was on duty outside, heard the movement of the house and opened the door gently. When he saw the two people embracing each other by moonlight, he was shocked and almost called out. Her voice had reached her throat, and her lips were covered with her hands.
She opened her eyes in disbelief and said, ”the world, the son of a son?”
The lily looked at the half opened ribbed window, and it was silly.
He used to like to sneak into his girl's boudoir. That's all. Now they are all married. The palace is still the residence of shiziye himself. Why don't you like to go through the main gate and prefer to climb the window? She almost scared her to death. She thought it was a disciple!
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue looked at each other as if there were no others. Nangong Yue's face was filled with a bright smile and said, ”Yi, why are you back at this time?”
Although in terms of time, it's almost time for Xiao Yi to arrive at Wangdu, but the city gates are closed in the middle of the night
Xiao Yi said: ”we arrived at the post station in the evening. I left them there and sneaked back.” He looked at her with burning eyes, as if to say: praise me quickly.
Nangong Yue said as he wished: ”I am so happy.”
Xiao Yi's smile was more brilliant, and her eyes were shining like bright stars.
Xiao Yi is thinner and longer than a few months ago. His eyes are deep, mysterious and bright. After this experience in southern Xinjiang, Xiao Yi seems to have grown up for several years. The whole person seems to be much more mature.
Nangong Yue asked, ”Yi, when are you going?”
”Before dawn.” Xiao Yi said with a smile, ”in the morning of tomorrow, I will give the book to the emperor. After the emperor has determined the day of offering captives, I can come back! This time, I won't go any more. I won't go anywhere. ”
Nangong Yue nodded hard. She suddenly thought of something and called out in a hurry Lily, lily. ”
The lily, who had retreated silently, pushed open the door and said, ”prince princess?”
”Go and prepare some food. Besides, the small kitchen should also be equipped with hot water so that people can send some water in...” After that, she pauses and says, ”just say I'm hungry.”
Xiao Yi came back without the imperial edict. Although the emperor would never investigate him at the moment, it would be a good deal in the future if anything happened. Although the people in this yard are reliable, it's better to be careful.
Lily also understood her meaning, nodded to answer the promise, then retreated.
”Yi, you need something first.” Nangong Yue took him to sit down with a smile and said, ”you didn't have a good meal all the way.” No wonder they're all skinny.
Xiao Yi looked at her wrongly. He wanted to hold her all the time than to eat.
He looked at Nangong Yue with his burning eyes. Then he could not help laughing and saying, ”Yi, I miss you so much.”
This sentence is almost equivalent to a panacea, which makes Xiao Yi's hard work disappear after his long journey. The whole person seems to be in a daze, and his face is full of silly smile. If the generals in southern Xinjiang see this silly appearance, I'm afraid even his eyes will be shocked.After a while, the meal was ready. In a hurry, only a bowl of noodles was prepared. At the same time, chicken soup was always simmered in the small kitchen. Although it was only a simple noodle, it also smelled delicious. Xiao Yi was really hungry. All the way, he was so busy that he couldn't even live in the post station. He had to eat dry food to satisfy his hunger every day. In order to return to Wangdu as soon as possible, he could not get anywhere with so many people. He walked for twenty-five days.
Xiao Yue takes out the hot water and passes it out of his hand.
The sound of the water came from inside, until this moment, Nangong Yue began to have a sense of reality, Xiao Yi really came back.
I don't know when, the sound of the water in the inner room stopped. Xiao Yi changed into a clean and brand-new middle coat and came out with a head of wet hair. Knowing that this was made by Nangong Yue himself, Xiao Yi was very precious in his clothes. When he came out, he still laughed and stroked with his hands.
Nangong Yue looked at the middle coat, but his sleeve was a little short, so he had to change it.
Lily had already consciously retired, and Nangong Yue picked up a white towel to help him wring his hair.
At this time, it was the third quarter of Yinshi. At the moment of Mao, the gate of the city would be opened.
Nangong Yue is very reluctant to give up, but still take the initiative to say: ”you should go.”
Xiao Yi turned around, his arms around her waist, and refused to leave. Nangong Yue couldn't help smiling. He pushed him away. Facing his aggrieved expression, he passed the coat which was full of sweat and sticky mud with a smile and said, ”put it on quickly If you ask for an early order, you can come back. ”
”No Xiao Yi refused without hesitation. The middle coat was sewn by his smelly girl. How can it be dirty! ”I'll go and replace the old one.” Without waiting for Nangong Yue to hold him, he hurried to the clean room, changed his middle coat, held it out and put it away. Then he put on his coat and reluctantly said, ”then I'm leaving...”
”Well...” Nangong Yue gently answered, ”I'll wait for you to come back.”
Xiao Yi gazed at her. Suddenly he leaned over her lips and gave her a kiss. Then his earlobe became red and he ran away from the window.
Nangong Yue looked at the half open window and gently stroked his lips with his fingers. His gentle smile went straight to the bottom of his eyes.
Nangong Yue's life became more and more absentminded. Until the morning of the third day, she finally got the news from Zhu Xing that she would offer captives at noon gate three days later.
That is to say, in three days, Xiao Yi will be able to go home in good faith!
Nangong Yue couldn't help but pick up the corners of his mouth, and his mood became clear in an instant. At this time, magpie came to the outside of the house and said, ”princess, Fu Liu is here!”
The smile on Nangong Yue's face was even stronger. Fu Yunyan came here specially this time, and he must have learned the news of Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe's return. As expected, Fu Yunyan said happily as soon as he entered the door: ”ah Yue, do you already know the matter of offering captives at noon gate three days later?”
Nangong Yue naturally nodded.
Fu Yunyan said with envy: ”my grandmother told me that several times during the emperor's reign, the ceremony of offering captives at the Meridian Gate was held several times. The scene was magnificent. This is the first time since the emperor ascended the throne. Unfortunately, only civil and military officials can go to the Wumen square and watch it with their own eyes.” Even if they are officials, only those who are qualified to go to the early Dynasty and above can go, so Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan must not be able to go.
Fu Yunyan wrinkled her small face, showing a trace of regret, but she soon regained her spirits and said, ”I've thought that although we can't go to the Meridian Gate, we can go to the south gate to welcome them back to the capital. Ah Yue, what do you think? ”
Nangong Yue touched his hands and readily agreed, ”liuniang, this is a good idea.” It would be great to watch Xiao Yi come back!
Lily also made fun of it and said, ”the prince and the third son of Fu personally escorted the great prince of Nanman into the capital of the king. It must be very majestic.”
”That is!” Fu Yunyan said more and more excited. ”My grandmother said that on that day, the emperor would send the fifth prince to take several important officials out of the king to meet elder brother Yi and third brother. I estimate that in the early morning, the south gate and the South Street will be cleared and closed. At that time, many people will come to watch and offer captives. Therefore, we'd better book a teahouse or a restaurant on the South Street, and then we can have it on the second floor The elegant seats on the third floor by the window are sitting leisurely and waiting for them to enter the city No way
With that, Fu Yunyan stood up impatiently and said, ”ah Yue, since I can think of this idea, others will also think of it. I reckon that those teahouses and restaurants will be full of customers. We'll have to go and fix it up. ”
Nangong Yue was also very excited. He stood up and said, ”Liu Niang, I'll go with you.”
The two girls said to do, let Baihui Lily prepare an ordinary green carriage, with only two bodyguards, and went out with light clothes
Half an hour later, the carriage came to the south gate. Nangongyue and Fu Yunyan glanced around and immediately chose a teahouse named Laiyun teahouse.
The waiter in the teahouse heard that they had come to reserve a seat and bowed his head and said with a smile, ”my guest, you are very lucky! Three days later, it was reported that the king's son of Zhennan wanted to go to Wangdu to offer his captives. Many guests came to reserve the elegant seat in the morning three days later. Now, there is only the last one left on the second floor facing the South Street... ””I ordered it!” Fu Yunyan forthrightly takes out a silver naked son. The waiter is more happy to see her, and leads them to the shopkeeper, and gives Fu Yunyan the wooden card that represents the reservation.
It was less than a cup of tea. Fu Yunyan managed the business well. Seeing that Lily said, ”Miss Fu Liu, I must open a shop to do your business in the future.”
shows between the lines of the lily, but Fu Yunyan doesn't care. ”Since we have a right attitude, we must first start to be strong.” With a wave of her big arm, she said again, ”let's go to the elegant seat on the second floor and step on it by the way.”
Four people with the second floor, that elegant seat is the nearest to the stairs, usually if you want to be clean, generally will choose the end of the corridor, but this time there is no choice. After entering the elegant seat, Fu Yunyan and Lily immediately ran to the window to see and were very satisfied.
The location of this elegant seat is really good, with a wide view. Not only Xiao Yi can see them once they pass the gate, but also they can see them go far away.
Although they had finished their business, the girls were not in a hurry. They drank some tea and used some snacks in the elegant seats, and then they left to transport the tea house.
After leaving the teahouse, nangongyue and Fu Yunyan got on the carriage again and planned to go back to Zhennan Wangfu. However, they did not expect that the coach had just arrived at the intersection of Nandajie and Tangren street, and the speed suddenly slowed down. It was almost impossible to walk. After waiting for half a cup of tea at the intersection, the carriage walked out of the town for about ten feet.
