She gently wiped his cheek with the silk, but he held her hand, gently pulled her over and rubbed it against his cheek. She suddenly felt a warmth between her fingers, and then the tiny beard. Itchy feeling.
"Your beard is so prickly!" She wanted to retract her hands, but he pulled back those pink muscles and continued to put them on his slightly darker but smooth cheeks, rubbing them in circles, and then drew them between his dark eyebrows. The jade fingers caressed those thick eyebrows.
"Your beard is so prickly that it hurts my hand!" she said again.
When he heard those shy words, he would purse his lips and smile, looking very sweet.
"If you don't like the prickly beard, what will you do if we sleep in the same bed in the future?"
"You again..."
"Qingya, your hands are still cold while you are sitting around the stove!" Before she could finish speaking, he changed the subject and kept rubbing his cheek like a lazy cat.
She faced him and quietly looked at his drunken appearance. His thick eyebrows, which were usually raised upright as described in the painting, were lowered due to drowsiness, and the tip of his tall nose actually seemed to be painted. It was reddish like rouge, and the little stubble was the embellishment of his curved lips.
His usual tall and mighty image was suddenly gone, now he looked more like a tamed and docile beast.
Seeing his naivety, her heartstrings were touched. Seeing him slowly getting up and walking unsteadily, she hurried to help him.
"I never thought that my brother's drinking ability is so bad!" She said with a sneer.
He swayed drunkenly, then turned to his side after listening to her words, hugged her with his broad shoulders, and put his chin close to her shoulders. She only felt that he was pressing down on her thin shoulders like a bronze man, so she supported her with all her strength and shouted to Chongwai: "Here comes someone! Xiyi, Cuihe, come in quickly."
Xiyi quickly ran in with small steps, but saw the two of them hugging each other intimately behind the bead curtain. She blushed again and turned around to exit.
"Xiyi, what are you doing out there again! Come quickly, you can support the king first, and then I'll call someone to take the king back to Jinlin Garden. This is not appropriate," she said, dumbfounding.
Xiyi shook the two little servant girls behind her ears, and quickly came to help the man who was more than eight feet tall. As soon as he helped her, she was crushed: "Girl, hurry up and wait for someone to come. I can't help you." Living."
She then called Cui He, who was carrying water into the house: "You summoned two strong men to come and send the king back to Serenity Garden. Oh, it should be Shaoyan Xuan."
She was smart, but suddenly she remembered what happened this morning, and she immediately changed her words for fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings.
But Wanyan Yong vaguely listened to the conversation of several people, and said in his mouth: "If the lonely king doesn't go to Shaoyan Xuan, the lonely king won't go... Hmm, the lonely king will stay here!"
After he said that, he put down his cherished wrist, walked through the hollow door in two or three steps and went to the bed in the inner room. He fell down on the small couch, folded his hands, and lay on the couch like a strong beast. Drink wine and fall asleep.
Seeing him like this, she felt even worse. Her eyes widened and she walked over and patted his back: "My lord, you can't stay here."
She patted his broad back, but saw that he was motionless. His burly figure could cover more than half of the bed.
"Girl, just wait for someone to arrive!"
Cui He came in and brought two tall men with him. As soon as they entered the screen, they saw that Wan Yanyong was already fast asleep on the couch.
"Girl, this..."
Several people stood there empty-handed looking at the scene, looking at each other, not knowing what to do.
Qingya sat on the small pier and pondered, then slowly stood up and said: "Today, the king has agreed to Lady Ling to stay at Shaoyanxuan. If Lady Ling knows that the king is here, I will It’s become a thorn in the side.”
"Not only that, this incident is also bad for the girl's reputation. If word spreads, you may not know how others will talk about it," Xiyi clasped his hands and looked at Cuihe.
"I think it's not a big deal, slave!" Cui He smiled lightly, feeling that things were easy.
"The girls of her Pusan family are not that simple. If you have heard the story of Taizu De Fei, you will know that Pusan Xiangling is not an easy person to deal with," she said and sat down again to support herself. forehead, glanced at the "beast" on the bed.
"Girl, let's think of a way!" Cui He nodded.
She sat for a while, her eyes moving among the people, then looking at the clothes in the closet, and then suddenly at the remaining glass of wine on the crescent table.
"Yes!" She suddenly had an idea.
"Look, Lady Ling is wearing a magenta skirt today."
"Yes, when I visited the three masters with Xiyi in the evening, I saw her wearing a magenta skirt," Cuihe quickly agreed and looked at Xiyi for confirmation.
"That's easy to handle. I remember that there is a magenta undershirt in the closet. Cuihe, please change my clothes. Xiyi, you told the people in the garden and let them remember that the king came just now. Yes, he was already drinking when he came. Also, take away these meat-burning things and the wine, so that no one can be suspicious." She stood up gently and directed a few people.
After hearing this, Cuihe was confused and didn't know what she meant, but Xiyi looked at her and rolled his eyes. As if he understood something, he bowed and said, "Slave, I'll do it right away!"
"After you said that, you immediately went to Shaoyanxuan to find Mrs. Liang Guo. You said that we had something important to discuss and asked her to step aside. You also sounded more impatient!"
"Okay, slave understands!"
Soon the group took action. Qingya also put on a magenta skirt, inserted a few hairpins, applied a thick layer of crimson rouge, and sat on the chair outside the screen.
After a while, another maid came in and took away the meat and the remaining wine.
When she heard the sound of jade rings clinking in the distance, she took the plain silk from her sleeve and placed it under her eyes, suppressing the blush in her eyes.
"Cousin, why are you looking for my sister-in-law?"
From a distance, one could hear the fragrant plume approaching with light steps, and its increasingly clear voice became as gentle as an oriole.
"Sister-in-law Ling, you are here!"
Before she could walk through the door, he went out to greet her, with tears in his eyes and a sad look on his face.
Xiang Ling was shocked when she saw her like this: "What's wrong with my sister? Why is she crying?"
She bowed quietly and wiped the red tears from the corners of her eyes: "I have met Madam Liang Guo! I ignored my manners and offended Madam."
She stood in front of her with such a respectful posture, which further aroused the arrogance deep in her heart.
As expected, when Xiang Ling saw her respect, she looked at each other with everyone behind her, smiled, shook Bu Yao in her bun, and raised her hand: "Sister, get up!"
"yes!"
She stood up and looked around again: "Sister-in-law Ling, there is no one else here, please come in and take a look. You really scared me."
Xiang Ling followed her lead and walked in, lifted the bead curtain, and saw Wan Yanyong, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and her complexion suddenly turned bad.
She frowned, pointed at him and said, "What's going on? Isn't the king coming to Shaoyanxuan today? Why is he here with you? On the first night after entering the mansion, he surrounded the king. Could it be that what you said today was just to deceive me?"
Qingya covered her face with the silk, her eyes were full of shock and pity, and she even made a cry: "Sister-in-law, I don't know! My sister was walking around the house in the evening. Who knows, just now, I walked to At the door, I saw the king following me, and then he squeezed in one or two steps and fell down to sleep!"
As she spoke, she covered her heart and choked with sobs: "I was too scared to enter the inner room, and I vaguely heard the king keep calling 'Ling'er, Ling'er', thinking that in this mansion, the only one who belongs to you is your sister-in-law." Since my name had the word 'Ling' in it, I took the liberty of inviting my sister-in-law over."
After hearing this, Xiang Ling's eyebrows relaxed, she smiled slightly and asked again: "That's my maiden name."
"My younger sister is stupid and doesn't know my sister-in-law's maiden name. She only knows that her brother loves her the most. He called her 'Ling'er', and I immediately thought of my sister-in-law."
After hearing this, Xiang Ling felt more comfortable and smug. She shook the eight-treasure necklace on her body, turned to the bed and looked at Wan Yanyong, who was sleeping soundly on the bed. After thinking for a while, she tentatively He asked: "Since you called me, why did you come to your place?"
She scratched her head: "I don't know! Sister-in-law."
At this time, Cuihe came up from behind and said politely: "I'm thinking, maybe you and your wife are wearing the same color dress, and the king drank some wine, and it was getting late. I vaguely saw that the girl looked like a madam, so I came to Huiwan Garden."
Xiyi also gently echoed: "Yes! Girl, the slave did smell a strong smell of alcohol just when he put the quilt on the king. The king must have drunk a lot, so he admitted his mistake."
"Well, today I just saw the beautiful color of this undershirt, so I put it on and walked around in the palace, but no one praised me, so I ran back in despair!"
"It's because I don't look good in this color! This dress needs to be worn by someone with fair skin like my sister-in-law!"
She rolled her eyes and lightly slapped herself in the mouth, bowed and said: "Look, I'm going too far again. If I had known better, I wouldn't have worn it. Not only would it not look good, but my brother would recognize her as my sister-in-law. She is actually Everything makes me sad and I will never wear it again.”
After she said that, she felt sad for a while.
After holding these few words, Xiang Ling was already grinning from ear to ear. She raised her eyes and looked at her, smiling: "I let my sister praise me all over. In this case, the king is also asleep now." Yes, I’ll go back!”
"Hey, sister-in-law, if you don't mind staying in Huiwan Garden to accompany your cousin! I heard him thinking about you like this. If I wake up in the middle of the night and don't see my sweetheart, it will be my sin. !”
"I just haven't had anything go my way today!"
As she said this shyly, Xiang Ling glanced at the "ferocious beast" and said: "No, I will go back. I just want the king not to see me and see if he will go astray in the future. As long as It’s good that he remembers me! Sister, I will come back.”
"What should I do? If my cousin can't see my sister-in-law, he will ask me. I know that Huiwan Garden is not as gorgeous and comfortable as my sister-in-law's house. It's common sense that my sister-in-law doesn't want to stay here!" she said He looked down, lowered his eyes, and spoke softly with low self-esteem.
Xiang Ling chuckled after hearing this, then supported Bu Yao in her hair and said, "My sister is overthinking it. If you feel relieved, I will leave. I'll trouble my sister to look after the king for the night."
As she spoke, she was supported by the two maids and walked out of the room. Her swaying figure was gradually immersed in the darkness of the corridor, and the sound of the jade chimes gradually faded away.
Qingya shouted again: "Sister-in-law, do you really want to do this?"
"Excuse me, sister! Excuse me, sister!" Her voice gradually became blurred, and she disappeared into the garden entrance under the night light.
Xiyi and Cuihe took a deep breath in the corridor: "Wow, what a difficult master!"
"The girl is really smart. This not only avoids misunderstandings, but also makes Lady Ling return happily."
"Hey, this Wan Yanyong is really...hard to describe in words."
"Cuihe, I'll stay in the north wing tonight!" She sat down gently, filled another glass of water and passed it into her mouth.
"Yes, slave, go clean it up!"
She took a sip and said, "No, I'm going to see my cousin sister-in-law tonight, Xiyi, Cuihe, and you two will work hard tonight."
The two of them saw that she suddenly changed her mind, so they subconsciously looked at her slightly raised eyebrows, bowed their heads and answered, "Yes, girl!"
