The fragrance of late osmanthus lingers, hugging each other under the moon.
Xu Zhihuai, like a misty wandering soul floating in the air, finally found a reliable home. His whole body was embedded in the arms of Zhu Xiuxing, eyes closed in comfort.
She didn't know that Zhu Xuxing beside her was still thinking about what happened during the day. Her most beloved woman had been wronged, and everyone wanted to fight for it.
Zhu Xuxing was thinking about whether to go see his mother, but then he thought that if he talked too much, it would be counterproductive, so it would be better to let his eldest sister step in to mediate.
Women's affairs must be handled by women.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xuxing lowered his head and kissed Xu Zhihuai's hair: "Tomorrow you go to Qianhua Palace and accompany the eldest sister for me."
When Xu Zhihuai heard this, he opened his eyes and whispered softly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to do it tomorrow... I fell down on the mountain and my movements are not so smooth. Wait until I slow down..."
Zhu Xuxing was immediately concerned and ordered someone to call the imperial physician. He just said a word and heard Xu Zhihuai begging coquettishly: "Your Highness, wait a minute, it's just a fall. Asking the imperial physician with such a big fanfare makes me look delicate and useless."
"What if the injury is serious..."
He anxiously lifted up her dress and inspected it carefully.
Under the candlelight, her delicate skin was like mutton-fat white jade, white and pink.
Xu Zhihuai gathered his clothes and half-covered them, only deliberately exposing the bruises on his knees, which made him frown in distress.
The bruises are not from bruises, they are all caused by that beast Wei Li.
Xu Zhihuai had to find an excuse to avoid His Highness becoming suspicious.
Zhu Xuxing's eyes were full of heartache. He pushed away the hair scattered on her cheeks with his slender fingers. He pondered for a moment and then said: "I'd better ask the imperial doctors to come over tomorrow and take a look. Don't go to Qianhua Palace. Let's rest for a few days."
Xu Zhihuai was ordered to rest and be obedient.
The first and fifteenth day of every month are the days to pay respects according to the rules, and she happened to avoid it. She didn't like to go to the Crown Princess's place, and the Queen didn't have a good face in front of her, so she simply stayed away.
Aunt Nan was thoughtful and deliberately selected clothes and jewelry for her and displayed them one by one.
"Your Majesty, it's better to wear something more dignified like this today, so as to please the Queen."
Xu Zhihuai saw that she was stupid and didn't realize it, so he couldn't help but smile lightly: "I'm not going anywhere today and I won't see anyone. Auntie, don't bother me."
Aunt Nan glanced at her: "There are rules in the palace, and being lazy is a sin."
Xu Zhihuai smiled faintly: "I don't like doing useless work."
Aunt Nan wanted to argue with her, but when she saw the coldness in the corners of her eyes and brows, she simply said nothing. She just put down her clothes and jewelry and ordered Jinhua to put them back.
Jinhua had always been afraid of her, so when she was about to reach out, she heard Xu Zhihuai say softly: "Where are you going, aunt? Put your things away first. It makes me upset to see them thrown away in such a mess."
Aunt Nan turned around after hearing this and saw her looking at her coldly. She didn't dare to show a straight face and quickly calmed down her posture: "I'm thinking about preparing some soup for you, but I'm not in a hurry."
Jinhua stood nearby, clenching her hands obediently, looking at Aunt Nan and then at Xu Zhihuai.
Xu Zhihuai's eyes were also looking at her. When Aunt Nan left, she called Jinhua to her: "You don't have to be so afraid of her in the future." After saying that, she raised her hand and patted her back: "Straighten up." . We should have had enough of these lowly days."
Jinhua was slightly startled, then quickly nodded heavily.
Xu Zhihuai is not just talking.
From that day on, she put all her thoughts on Zhu Xiuxing, paying attention to his emotions, taking care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation. She would pay attention to him whenever he frowned or drank a cup of tea.
Zhu Xuxing was very moved by her tenderness in taking care of everything.
This night, candlelight, beautiful wine and delicious food.
Xu Zhihuai personally placed two small wine cups, which made Zhu Xiuxing raise his eyebrows in surprise: "You have always been a teetotaler."
She smiled gently: "Today, I would like to have a drink with His Highness."
"Why?"
"Because His Highness has something on his mind. There is nothing I can do for His Highness. I only hope that this glass of wine can relieve His Highness' worries a little bit."
Zhu Xuxing immediately relaxed his eyebrows and said: "Okay, after drinking this glass of wine, we will all be happy."
When he was slightly drunk, Zhu Xuxing took Xu Zhihuai in his arms, put his slightly hot face into the crook of her neck, sighed and said with satisfaction: "Such a good time can only be had when I am with you."
Xu Zhihuai lowered his eyes to look at him, his slight drunkenness made his face more vivid and handsome, and his eyebrows darker.
She took the initiative to kiss his lips, softly and sweetly.
Zhu Xuxing returned the kiss infatuatedly, as if he was possessed.
Her waist became weak from his rubbing, and her breathing became faster and faster.
Zhu Xuxing bit her earlobe lightly, breathing hot air and said, "Huai'er, give me a child."
When Xu Zhihuai heard this, he was slightly startled, then he smiled shyly and brushed it off.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
Xu Zhihuai knew that Zhu Xuxing had begun to have expectations in his heart.
She enjoys the prince's favor exclusively. As time goes by, his expectations will become clearer and more urgent. And her body is disabled, so she can't just use her mouth to coax him.
Xu Zhihuai thought about it secretly and did not ask Aunt Nan to pass on the message. Instead, he secretly prepared to have another "tryst" with Wei Li.
She had never been in the habit of copying Buddhist scriptures, but now she was writing ten chapters a day, forgetting to eat or sleep.
After saving for more than half a month, I have about ten volumes.
When Zhu Xuxing learned that she was going up the mountain again, he naturally objected: "You don't need to do such a hard thing."
Xu Zhihuai explained sweetly: "I sincerely want to please the queen. Last time, we encountered wind and rain by chance. The sky has been clear and cloudless these days, so it doesn't hurt to walk on some mountain roads."
Zhu Xuxing thought that she was working so hard for him, so he no longer objected after being moved, and even sent two more teams to protect her.
The weather is getting cooler and there are fewer pilgrims in the temple.
Xu Zhihuai still went to the Zen room to drink tea and rest. She didn't know when Wei Li would come, but she was sure that he would come.
Sandalwood curls up, calming the mind.
Xu Zhihuai stretched out his sleeves and lay down, waiting and waiting. Suddenly I heard someone pushing the door open without saying anything, so I knew I was waiting.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw that terrifying and hateful face.
Wei Li was dressed in gray and green, with a gloomy face. He turned his back to the light, casting a gray and gloomy shadow, like patches of moss growing wantonly in dark corners.
"Master Marquis is here."
Xu Zhihuai's eyes were as charming as silk and he gave a sweet smile.
With a smile on her face, she slowly came to him, changing from her usual quietness. A pair of jade arms climbed up to Wei Li's chest, and her wide sleeves slowly slid down, revealing half of her pale elbows.
Wei Li frowned with disdain.
Xu Zhihuai seemed to have not seen him, blinked Yingying, and said softly: "Master Hou and I really have a good understanding."
This was too explicit to please, which aroused Wei Li's instinctive alert. He asked coldly: "Are you deliberately coming here just to flirt with me?"
Xu Zhihuai didn't answer directly. He pestered him even tighter and his voice became gentler and gentler: "Longing for lovesickness breaks my heart. I miss you every day without seeing you... How could the Marquis know what's on my mind?"
