Chapter 175 Crossing the River and Destroying the Bridge
"So, what's the problem if I go back to Zhuyuan?" Mingruo raised her little face and looked at Si Haochen.
"Of course there is a problem. Those people you mentioned will not come until tomorrow." Si Haochen pinched Mingruo's cheek, "You can just go back tomorrow morning..."
"That's too much trouble. I have to go back tonight. I can sleep a little longer tomorrow morning."
"Do you have to go back tonight?" Si Haochen raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah." Mingruo nodded.
"Then go after dinner."
"Okay..." Mingruo looked at the sky, "Then you have to send me back."
"Yeah." Si Haochen responded.
After dinner, Si Haochen and Mingruo walked side by side on the way to Zhuyuan. The day after tomorrow was the Lantern Festival, and the palace was hosting a banquet tomorrow, so Butler Zhou had people arrange many silk flowers and palace lanterns in advance.
The flowers are in full bloom.
There is a row of red lanterns hanging outside the Bamboo Garden, which looks particularly festive.
"Looking at it like this, it's quite beautiful." Mingruo walked along the bluestone path and walked into the yard.
Zicao's work all afternoon was fruitful. The yard was bright and bright, and there were many palace lanterns under the eaves. Mingruo walked into the main hall where guests were received, and found many cultural ornaments. All the furniture was polished spotlessly, with cushions and pillows.
and so on have been replaced with brand new ones.
Ji Xue was hanging a wishful knot on the newly moved kumquat bonsai. When she saw the prince and princess coming in, she quickly saluted: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Princess."
"Yeah." Si Haochen nodded.
"Princess, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, I will take care of it again."
"That's good." Mingruo suddenly remembered that new lotus leaves had grown in the lotus pond before, "By the way, have the hibiscus bloomed in the pond?"
"Not yet, but there are already a lot of flower buds, and they will probably bloom in a day or two." Jixue replied immediately.
"I'll go take a look." Mingruo turned around and walked into the study, opening the sliding door adjacent to the lotus pond.
The moonlight is good tonight, and you can clearly see a few buds standing gracefully among the green lotus leaves. Although it looks much smaller than in summer, it is still a wonderful sight in this season. In addition, the temperature of the pool water is slightly higher, which causes transpiration.
The slightest hint of water vapor makes it feel like a fairyland.
Seeing Ming Ruo's stunned look, Si Haochen felt funny: "Does it look good?"
"It looks good." Ming Ruo nodded repeatedly.
Si Haochen watched Mingruo by the lotus pond for a long time: "How long do you have to watch before you go back to your room?"
"A long time." Mingruo felt that the lotus pond in the night was so beautiful that people couldn't bear to look away.
"It's windy here. Let's put two of them in a vase and watch them slowly." Si Haochen gathered Mingruo's cloak.
"This is a way." Mingruo, a little expert at picking, reached out and picked three lotus leaves suitable for vases. As for the buds... she couldn't reach them.
Mingruo signaled with his eyes, Si Haochen pretended not to notice.
"Your Majesty, help me fold the flower buds, okay?" Mingruo grabbed Si Haochen's sleeve and shook it, and stretched out two fingers, "Just two."
"Call me husband." Old Si Haochen let Mingruo wander around casually.
"Bamboo horse, help me break two flower buds." Mingruo decided to listen selectively, so she didn't hear the word "husband".
Si Haochen grinded his teeth. Even if they were childhood sweethearts, there was no reason to directly call her "bamboo sweetheart". This girl screamed smoothly every day, but he thought it was a joke.
Seeing that Si Haochen was unmoved, Mingruo's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and his tone of voice was as sweet as four plus numbers: "Brother Chen, fold it for me..."
Si Haochen's heart palpitated. Although he knew that this bad girl was being good on purpose, but...he just wanted to do what she did.
He tapped his toes, crossed the lotus pond, stretched out his claws towards the two flower buds that he had already spotted, and in one breath, returned to Mingruo and handed the two largest flower buds to Mingruo: "Here."
"Thank you, Brother Chen." Mingruo smiled, hugging the folded lotus leaves and flower buds, and left without looking back.
Si Haochen was so angry that he laughed. This was the standard burning of bridges. As soon as he got the flower buds, he didn't even say hello to him when he returned to the room.
Si Haochen slowly walked into the bedroom. Mingruo had already raised the trophies in white pottery bottles, and also added well water to the water for growing flowers, hoping to see them bloom early tomorrow morning.
Si Haochen walked directly into the inner room, took off his robe and hung it on the hanger.
"You..." Mingruo finally focused on Si Haochen, "Why are you taking off your clothes?"
Si Haochen's lips curled up slightly, and his smile was half lazy and half charming: "It's getting late, let's go to bed quickly."
"Huh?" Mingruo's eyes widened, "You want to live here?"
"Why not?" Si Haochen took off the jade crown that tied his hair and put it on the dressing table. His black hair instantly spread behind him. In Mingruo's words, it was - extremely alluring.
"Don't you always say reciprocity? You live with me, and I'll live with you..." Si Haochen shook off the quilt and lay down. There was only one pillow on Mingruo's bed, "Bring me another pillow."
"No." Is this definitely how the word 'reciprocity' is used?
Si Haochen was very satisfied with Mingruo's answer and said very generously, "My arm can be used as a pillow for you."
After saying that, he spread his arms and patted them, signaling Mingruo to come and take a pillow.
Mingruo looked at the sky speechlessly. Recently, he always felt that the Si Haochen he was facing was a fake. With his disciple-like behavior, it was really...beautiful women are beautiful in anything they do! Covering her face and looking pretty, Mingruo felt that her
All moral integrity is shattered into pieces.
Mingruo opened the cabinet, took the pillow and quilt, and threw them violently into the bed.
Si Haochen caught the pillow accurately and placed it next to his own pillow. He looked at the brocade quilt with some dissatisfaction: "Why can't it be covered with a quilt?"
"Si Haochen!" Mingruo felt that the word "extending every inch" was tailor-made for Si Haochen.
"Huh?" Si Haochen was about to get angry when he saw the little girl, "Go to bed quickly, you will be very tired tomorrow."
Ming Ruo climbed onto the bed angrily and kicked Si Haochen's leg: "Give way."
"I can't give in, this bed is too small." Uncle Si Haochen occupied most of the bed like an old man.
"If you think the bed is too small, go back to your dormitory." To sleep, she still had to climb over Si Haochen's long legs, and she wasn't happy about it.
"I think the bed is smaller... very good!" Si Haochen replied with a smile.
Seeing Ming Ruo looking at him like a monster, Si Haochen added another stab: "My beloved, do you want to check the authenticity of this king again? Can I untie my clothes and let my beloved concubine check the stitches?"
Um... If Ming really wants to spray a mouthful of old blood on Si Haochen's face, please switch back to Si Haochen who even thought he was trying to take advantage of him when checking his pulse. Now this, tsk tsk, is really unbearable.
.
Si Haochen turned off the light: "I still want to live here for the first time."
