It was night, after Yuchi Pingting coaxed Mo Mo to sleep, she couldn't fall asleep. What happened in the past few days made her a little overwhelmed. She seemed to have an indescribable feeling for Nangong Feiran without knowing it.
It's as if the carefully guarded things in the deepest part of my heart have been touched again, and the feelings that have been buried for many years have gradually become clear. This feeling is really strange, but it is also very comfortable.
After much thought, she was still tossing and turning, and the more she thought about it, the more confused she became. Yuchi Pingting simply sat up with a grudge, put on some clothes and walked to the yard, and jumped up to the roof.
The evening breeze blew by, and Yuchi Pingting felt warm and comfortable, so she stared at the stars in the sky in a daze.
"What, are you counting the stars?" Suddenly a low and magnetic voice sounded in my ears.
Yuchi Pingting was shocked. When did this man come to her? Why didn't she feel anything at all?
Looking at Yuchi Pingting's somewhat surprised expression, Nangong Feiran smiled and said, "Haha, don't be surprised. You must be so absorbed in counting stars that you didn't notice my arrival. But having said that, did I hit you?"
You have to count." An evil smile flashed across Nangong Feiran's face.
"Why are you here to get winded when you are not in the room sleeping with your beautiful lady at such a late hour?" Yuchi Pingting rolled her eyes at him.
"Haha, what about you? If you're not thinking about me in your room so late at night, why would you go to the roof to count the stars?" The joking smile looks so beautiful.
"Nervous." Yuchi Pingting was a little helpless. Are all the men in this world so narcissistic? It is simply hopeless.
"Hey... I may have to go on an expedition in a few days." Nangong Feiran stretched out his hands and lay down as he spoke. He looked at Yuchi Pingting's delicate figure and thought about the woman he saw sitting on the roof in a daze when he passed by outside.
She was so cute in the night, so she quietly came around from behind. It seemed that she was really thinking about something, and she didn't even notice that she was next to her.
"Oh." Yuchi Pingting didn't seem to care.
"Hey, I'm your husband after all, so why don't you show some concern?" Nangong Feiran said jokingly. He was not good at interacting with others on weekdays, but for some reason when he was with her, especially in the recent period.
Time, I always feel very relaxed when I am with Yuchi Pingting, so I seem to be able to do whatever I want.
"Husband?" Yuchi Pingting said in an exaggerated tone.
"Hey..." Nangong Feiran agreed.
"That's a nice thought," Yuchi Pingting said angrily.
"Haha, I didn't expect time to fly by so fast..." Nangong Feiran actually showed a rare sadness: "I remember the last time I went to Daliao with my father, it was also this season, it was almost the end of the year, I remember the New Year,
During the day, the soldiers were fighting on the battlefield, holding in their hearts only the desire to go back alive to see their relatives in their hometown, but at night, everyone was waiting for the news and could not sleep..." Nangong Feiran paused and said, "I didn't expect it.
Not long after I came back, I went to fight again at this time when the new year was approaching. Hey... the luminous cup of grape wine, met with the pipa horse, Lord Moxiao who was drunk on the battlefield, how many people have been fighting since ancient times..." Nangong Feiran thought unconsciously
When he was writing poems, he was talking to himself, and he didn't care whether Yuchi Pingting on the other side listened carefully to what he said.
Yuchi Pingting, on the other hand, was a little surprised when she saw Nangong Feiran at this time. What happened to him today? He was completely different from his usual self.
"I really don't know what I want to pursue in this life. I was born in a prince's family, ate the emperor's food, and worked loyally as a royal laborer. However, I lost everything easily inadvertently. The officialdom, intrigues, and intrigues were even worse than the battlefield.
Even more sinister..." Nangong Feiran couldn't help but sigh again when he thought of his father's experience.
"Actually, you don't have to think so..." Yuchi Pingting saw that he seemed to be in a bad mood and wanted to say something to comfort him: "Regardless of fame and fortune, how many people can see through this? You just need to ask yourself what you really want.
What is it? Since your life is to shine on the battlefield, why bother worrying about the intrigue behind the war." Yuchi Pingting said calmly.
"Haha, I didn't expect that the frosty Princess Yuchi could actually comfort people." Nangong Feiran's face looked even more stylish against the backdrop of the night, and his eyes were particularly bright in the night.
Yuchi Pingting didn't speak, she just stared at the curved and tranquil moon. Although she seemed indifferent on the surface, she clearly felt a pain in her heart when Nangong Feiran mentioned that she was going to go on an expedition. Why did this happen?
…
Nangong Feiran didn't say anything. He took off his cloak and gently put it on Yuchi Pingting. Then he sat quietly next to Yuchi Pingting without saying a word. He also looked at the bright stars in the night sky and thought about the troubles in his heart.
thing.
The next day, in Yuchi Pingting's bedroom.
"Master, do you think this is okay? Do you want the side bun to be higher?" Xiu Xiu put the boxwood carved comb in her hand on the mirror stand, picked up the bronze mirror on one side and held it to the left side of Yuchi Pingting's back.
The photo was swung to the right, and the angle was chosen to reflect the hairstyle on the back of Yuchi Pingting's head into the mirror of the mirror stand, so that Yuchi Pingting could see clearly.
Yuchi Pingting tilted her head, satisfied with the neat bun of the woman in the glasses, raised the corners of her lips, and said: "That's it, I don't like women's buns that are too high."
"My master's neck is fair and slender, and the way she combs her hair into a bun is like a weeping willow, which fully reveals this woman's fragility and beauty. I think there is no woman in Luoyang City who is more suitable for this weeping willow bun." Xiao Tao said as she spoke.
, while picking out a palm-sized cloisonné enamel peach wood box from the dazzling array of small boxes on the mirror table and opening it.
"Weakness is beautiful? Haha." Yuchi Pingting smiled. When she was a girl in the pavilion, the men in Luoyang City were influenced by the princes and nobles in the imperial city. Men began to like those who were slim, thin, and slender.
Woman, at that time, her predecessor seemed to have deliberately reduced the amount of each meal to maintain a graceful figure for the sake of her grandson. But now, she understands that making herself thin for the sake of a man is really the most stupid behavior, what is so weak?
, Haha, no man who has suffered from Yu Chi Pingting would say that the word "weak" is worthy of Captain Chi Pingting.
Xiuxiu cleaned her hands, then picked out a soybean-sized amount of apricot-colored hair paste from the box with her fingertips, spread it evenly on her hands, and lightly applied it on Yuchi Pingting's bun. A light scent of hair immediately filled the room.
The fragrance of jasmine flowers. And Yuchi Pingting's hair suddenly became black and shiny, and very neat.
Yuchi Pingting took a closer look at the beauty in the mirror. This face was full of beauty and vitality, but soft and beautiful... that was really irrelevant. Knowing that Xiao Tao was saying flattering words to make her happy, she also chuckled.
.
Yuchi Pingting smiled while looking at her bun again in the target mirror. Seeing that Xiuxiu had opened the box of makeup, she cast her eyes over and looked carefully at the jewelry in the box, and finally her eyes fell on a style
The exquisite crested steps swing up.
Xiaotao immediately picked up the walking stick and gave it to Yuchi Pingting to stick on her head. Yuchi Pingting shook her head. The sapphire on the walking stick flashed brilliantly under the light and shadow, making people's eyes brighten.
Yuchi Pingting didn't pay much attention to dressing up on weekdays. She just dressed up casually, simple yet elegant. But today, Yulan, the maid in Hua Ning's room, came over early in the morning and said that the second son was having a banquet in the garden at noon today. Only
He, Hua Ningmou, and Yuchi Pingting said that the emperor's imperial edict had been issued to set off for the expedition. They had a meal with them before the expedition. Yuchi Pingting didn't know why she took it so seriously.
Xiao Tao put a silver-red white silk cape with white magnolia flowers on Yuchi Pingting. Yuchi Pingting turned lightly in front of the full-length mirror with a carved purlin seat at the corner of the bed, showing a gorgeous smile, thinking to herself,
Time makes us age, but why do I feel like I’m getting younger and younger? Haha, the feeling of narcissism is really good. She just doesn’t know that her beauty has always been there, but she was too weak in her previous life, and in this life
She exuded endless confidence and nobility in her bones. It was this unique aura that made Nangong Feiran pay attention to her. Yuchi Pingting saw that the time was almost up, and walked out without forgetting.
He turned around and told Xiao Tao: "You stay in the yard and go to the kitchen later. There is Mo Mo's favorite white magnolia porridge. Remember to add more sugar to him and feed him when he comes back late."
"Yes, I have remembered this." Xiao Tao responded.
Seeing Chun Xiaotao nodding in agreement, Yuchi Pingting stepped out of the house.
As soon as Yuchi Pingting walked out of her courtyard, she saw Hua Ningmu's mother walking towards her in a hurry. Seeing Yuchi Pingting, Hua's mother paused in her steps and showed a strange smile on her face. Before anyone could take a closer look, she put on her clothes again.
smiled respectfully.
"Hey, Crown Princess, you've got it right. The Crown Prince asked me to come and hurry you up. The Crown Prince and his aunt have already gone to the Guanhe Pavilion. They asked me to come and see you. You should go there quickly," Hua Mu said with a smile.
After saying "Oh", Yuchi Pingting couldn't help but think to herself that this old woman seemed a little strange today. She should be happy that her daughter and the prince were alone in Guanhe Pavilion. She should be wishing that she didn't go. Why is she like this now?
Vice face.
Although she was suspicious, Yuchi Pingting still walked toward the garden with slow steps.
The so-called Lotus Viewing Pavilion is built in the middle of a clear water lake in the garden. It is a small wooden attic. In summer, it is most convenient and elegant to enjoy the coolness in the pavilion and enjoy the lotus.
When Yuchi Pingting walked to the entrance of the curved bridge, she saw the gauze floating in the pavilion, and could vaguely see the shadows of people moving inside. She thought that although she didn't like Hua Ningmou and her mother, she couldn't help it because of Nangong Feiran's face today.
After arguing with them, after last night, she and Nangong Feiran were stargazing on the rooftop together. Although they didn't speak much, the tacit understanding between the two seemed to have increased invisibly.
Yuchi Pingting picked up her skirt and stepped onto the curved bridge, when she saw a slim woman wearing a green satin jacket coming towards her. It was Yulan, Hua Ningmu's personal maid, and it was she who had brought the letter in the morning.
Yulan came up and stopped Yuchi Pingting and Xiuxiu behind her, and said with a smile: "Princess, the Crown Prince asked me to come to welcome you. The Crown Prince said it was rare to be with you two today, so the family enjoyed the lotus and talked.
, don’t let the girls follow you, do you think you can ask sister Xiuxiu to wait here?”
Yuchi Pingting was stunned for a moment, feeling uncomfortable for some reason. She always felt that something was wrong, but then she felt that she was overthinking, what could be wrong? What could this mother and daughter do to her?
.
Thinking of this, Yuchi Pingting turned around, waved to Xiuxiu, and ordered: "Go back and watch some ink with Xiaotao. You don't have to wait on me." After saying that, Yuchi Pingting took the silk umbrella from Xiuxiu's hand and put it on her head.
I went up to the house, shielded myself from the scorching sunshine, and walked quickly towards the Lotus Viewing Pavilion. I was still thinking that it was almost the end of the New Year, and the sun was still so scorching.
