Chapter 15 Chapter Fifteen

When I came out of the Heavenly Habitat, the sun was already setting outside, and the crimson sunset seemed to be bleeding. No wonder the ancients said "the setting sun is like blood". With the arrival of the summer solstice, the weather has officially entered the hot summer, and the girls on the street are already wearing light gauze skirts and holding round fans.When Laixi and I walked back to the palace, we were sweating profusely, but we saw many servants busy at the gate of Lanxiang Courtyard, and Li Qing was standing beside me, gesticulating and talking. Seeing me coming back, Li Qing explained the reason to me with a big smile on his face. It turned out that Jun Huangyue asked him to bring someone to tear down the wall in front of my yard, and also wanted to dig a pond in front of the yard.

I was a little speechless, I planned to take a shower to get rid of the sweat, and then go to Jun Huangyue to ask for clarification. After taking a shower, I didn't care about waiting for my hair to dry, so I casually tied a loose bun at the back of my head and rushed to Jingyuan. Jingyuan is the same as when I came last time, but because the sky is not yet dark, the scenery in the garden is clearer than last time. At a glance, it is more than half of the lush greenery, and tall green trees can be seen everywhere. , The trees are covered with clean big slates, and some colorful flowers are only blooming at the corners of the garden.

The garden is still very quiet, and there is no shadow of servants coming and going. This quiet garden is as mysterious as its owner.I walked towards the study room I saw last time, and when I was approaching the door, a person came out from nowhere, and I thought to myself, why these servants are always elusive, it feels like the martial arts described in martial arts novels Masters come and go without a trace. "Princess, please wait until the slaves report to the lord." It was the same person who blocked me last time. I saw a small pavilion not far to the right, so I said to him: "I'll go and sit in that pavilion, please ask the prince to come to the pavilion."

The servant answered "Yes" and quickly disappeared behind the door of the study. The speed under his feet was definitely comparable to that of a walking champion. I sat idly in the pavilion, with the breeze passing by from time to time, I felt very comfortable. "Aren't you always used to drying your hair before curling it?" Jun Huangyue's slippery voice sounded in my ears, and I felt that the jade hairpin on my head was taken away by him again, and then my scalp loosened, and the long hair was all scattered, and the clear and crisp jade crushing sound was quiet like last time There was another sound in the pavilion.

"You," I suddenly reflected, "Why did you drop my hairpin again?" "If you always tie up your wet hair with hairpins like this, I'll throw it away every time I see you." I was slightly taken aback when I heard that, is he caring about me? "You think I want to do this, but it's not because I'm in a hurry to see you." I complained to him slightly. "I didn't expect the princess to miss me so much." His thin lips pulled out a shallow arc to the right, and he sat down opposite me across the stone table in the pavilion. I glanced at him dissatisfied and said: "If you want to tear down the wall of my yard, you can do it. Why do you need to dig a pond? What if I accidentally go the wrong way and fall into it at night? And summer Here we go, isn’t it clear that we want to provoke those mosquitoes by setting up a pond?”

After listening to my words, he paused for a long time before saying: "It's because I didn't think carefully. I thought that you might feel cooler by tearing down the wall and building a pond. Then I'll ask Li Qing to clean the corner next to your bedroom tomorrow." The living room is converted into a bathtub, so that you can go in and take a dip when you are hot." Now I am silent. I never thought that last time I casually said that the wall is too high and it will be hot in summer, but he listened to it, and he wanted to rebuild a pool for me so much, just to keep me cool in summer.

His sudden overtures made me a bit overwhelmed. I thought he and I had reached a tacit agreement on our mutual respect. Looking at his silver mask that showed no expression, I murmured in confusion: "Why bother..." "I went to see Jun Luoxu today." He said slowly, looking straight at me with his deep eyes, the dark eyes were like rare black diamonds, exuding a dazzling brilliance. "He told me all about your performance in the imperial palace that day." Before I could speak, he continued, "Do you really think that marrying me is your blessing?" I never expected that he would ask this question, and replied embarrassingly: "Do you want me to tell so many senior officials and women that I hate marrying you?"

"Then do you hate me?" His eyes flickered and he asked me in a low voice. "It's not annoying, right? You didn't abuse me after you married me, did you? I live quite leisurely in the mansion. I don't have to go to say hello to my father every day. There are no mothers-in-law, aunts, concubines, and other women to bother me. The servants also I am very obedient, Manager Li will come to ask me what orders I have from time to time, I feel more and more satisfied as I talk about it, your palace is much better than other people in the capital, I am very lucky to marry now It's you."

I was thinking about it seriously while talking to him slowly. In my memory, this was the first time I talked so much with him. "That time my two girls bumped into you, I think it will never happen again in the future." I smiled indifferently: "It's just two girls, I haven't taken it to heart yet." He hesitated a little and said: "They were sent to me by my father on the day I was weak. I, I have never been close to them." "Huh," I said slightly surprised, "Everyone in the house said that you took them into the house, and they even told me that you were reluctant to leave them on the night of your wedding!"

Heaven can tell, I don't mean to be jealous at all when I say this, it's purely a woman's natural gossip nature. There was a glimmer of light in his eyes, and his voice was a little tense: "I know that the two of them spread those false rumors, but I didn't expect them to be so courageous as to come up to you and chew your tongue, look Come on, the punishment last time was too light." I was shocked when I heard that, and quickly stopped him and said: "Enough, enough, you sent them out of the house one by one to do laundry. I'm not that stingy, and I don't care what they say."

"You don't even want to cover up your disdain for me?" He suddenly crossed the table and grabbed my wrist, two sharp eyes pierced my face like needles, his tone was hurried without the usual slowness. I blinked my eyes, a little confused, what I just said, he was so excited, is it because I don't care what those two girls said? When I realized this, my heart trembled a little, and I couldn't help thinking of many things: when I received the order, he took the initiative to care about my waist injury and asked Li Qing to bring ointment, and severely punished those two girls. Throwing away the jade hairpin in my wet hair, forgiving me with a mouth full of alcohol, his wordless hug when I was blown by the cold wind, because of my slight dodging movement, he thoughtfully never approached me, and that precious cloak , Today, because of a sentence I said a few days ago, I changed my yard before and after. Anyway, I, Qin Lan, have also experienced emotional matters. If I don't understand the hidden thoughts behind his actions, I will live in vain for decades. Seeing him in such an agitated situation at this moment, the hand that grabbed my wrist did not exert any force, and I could break free with a light twitch. How much I longed for the person next to me to treat me so tenderly, It's a pity that "he" has let me down time and time again, but now this husband who is indifferent to me is silently caring for me every time we get along. A corner of my heart suddenly softened, and I grabbed his hand in my palm with my backhand, and said softly: "I didn't disdain you, I was just telling the truth, I thought we were in a certain relationship There is already a tacit understanding and consensus in some aspects, so I don't think I need to hide anything in front of you, don't you think I'm succumbing to you?" He seemed to be more excited after hearing my words, grabbed my hand and brought me into his arms, different from the light embrace last time, this time he hugged me tightly, and the hands around my waist were slightly Shaking, I could feel every rise and fall of his chest and every breath he breathed on top of my head, but the warmth in his arms was the same as last time. I quietly let him hold me. At this moment, I felt neither panic nor shy, only calm.To be honest, I was most moved by this kind of silent tenderness, because that was what I longed for countless times. "You know? I really want you to be my real wife, but I don't dare, because you will hate me one day if I do that. You are so beautiful, I can't bear to hurt you, let alone Seeing your sad appearance in the future, I am even more afraid of seeing your resentful eyes in the future." He opened his mouth lowly on top of my head, and his Adam's apple trembled densely against my forehead as he spoke. There was a void in my heart, and I said indifferently: "How do you know that I am beautiful? Everyone has his ugly side, maybe you will have a chance to see my side, don't think too well of me." I really don't think I'm good, if I'm really good, how could "he" treat me like that, and I wouldn't travel through time and space to come to Lanchao. "I know what you said in the Zhou family before you were forced to marry me. You said, 'I will marry, but the married daughter, the water poured out, I will be the daughter-in-law of the Jun family in the future. It has nothing to do with me', just for this sentence, I didn't touch you on the wedding night in the bridal chamber. On the morning of the first day of the wedding, I went to the wooden house to practice martial arts, but I saw you wearing a pink dress and smiling like a child on the peach tree. Running in the forest, pink petals sprinkled in the forest, fell on your hair and your face, butterflies flew around you, I looked at you from a distance outside the forest, I thought I saw you from the pink The elf transformed from the gorgeous peach blossoms, later you sat down in front of the wooden house, and I hid in the house and heard you say the truth that I have never heard before and the analysis of me that is so deep in my heart. Impressed by your intelligence, I didn't know you were the famous 'Qin Lan' at the time, but I, Jun Huangyue, married a talented woman." He loosened his hand holding me a little bit, and his smooth and slippery voice was like thick chocolate cream flowing slowly in my heart. It turned out that he was really in the wooden house that day, and Li Qing didn't lie to me.Presumably, he should have seen that I belonged to Qin Lan from the painting I left in the First Prince's Mansion, but he is also a person who loves painting. "You speak so emotionally, don't you fall in love with me?" I couldn't stand his sudden tenderness, so I quickly teased him with words, after all, the "elf" he saw was Zhou Yunxin's beautiful appearance, not mine.Although I am very satisfied with the current body, it does not mean that I can accept her as me so quickly. I have seen the body and appearance of my previous life for 28 years, and it has been deeply implanted in my soul. No matter how hard it is, it can't be erased. "No." He said in a low voice. I was relieved after hearing this, but I heard him continue: "I won't let myself fall in love with you, but I don't deny that I have a crush on you. You are a smart and beautiful woman." Girl, anyone with a natural and straightforward temperament will like to get along with you, and of course I am no exception." I smiled happily, wrapped my hands around his waist, then broke free from his arms, looked at his calm eyes and said: "It's all right now, we all know that we don't hate each other anymore, we can eat Is it dinner?" Hearing that he personally promised not to fall in love with me, I immediately felt relieved. According to my current state of mind, it is much easier to face a husband who only has affection for me than a husband who loves me deeply.A love that cannot be reciprocated is always painful, and I don't want him to be painful when he faces me.of "Okay, I'll order you a few more jujube flowers this time. Seeing how you slandered last time, it seems like you can't wait to eat the dishes." "Oh, I was hungry last time, it's not like that usually!" The evening breeze blows gently in the garden, blowing the voice of Jun Huangyue and me farther and farther away. When having dinner, he really ordered a lot of jujube flowers for me, as well as various delicious dishes, pastries, porridge and tea, which filled the whole table densely. I laughed and said to him: "It's not such a waste of money, right? The two of us can't finish it." "Eat quickly, the most important thing is that you can eat enough." He put on a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and seemed to be urging me in a good mood. I didn't say any more, I buried my head and ate slowly. During the meal, I told him to renovate the yard and add an indoor pool. It seemed inconvenient for me to live in the yard, and there were too many servants coming and going. But he said to me: "Then you can move to Jingyuan to live for a while, and then move back when it is repaired." After listening to his words, I almost sprayed half of the chrysanthemum tea on his face. Seeing my embarrassed expression, his eyes were full of smiles, and he handed me a brocade handkerchief by the table, and said slowly: "Don't worry, Jingyuan is very big. I promise that I live far away from your bedroom." After thinking about it, I nodded and agreed. He made his words so obvious. It would be too timid for me to hold back and refuse to agree. This is not in line with my usual style.
