After not seeing each other for a month, how could Xie Mingxi not miss Sheng Hong?
She may not have fallen head-over-heels in love with him yet, but she has unwavering affection for him, and she always misses him. For her who is indifferent, indifferent, selfish and ruthless, it is unprecedented in her life to miss someone like this.
At this time, being teased by Gu Shanchang with a smile, Xie Mingxi finally felt a hint of girlish shyness.
However, in just a few moments, Xie Mingxi returned to normal.
The moment Sheng Hong stepped in, she had completely calmed down.
"Sheng Hong has seen the mountain chief." The handsome young man in black smiled and bowed with his hands. His black eyes were as black as ink, full of energy and charming. Even the most picky person must praise him as unparalleled in the world.
Gu Shan loved Wujiwu for a long time, and he was much kinder to His Highness the Seventh Prince: "Your Highness, there is no need to be polite."
Sheng Hong stood up and looked at Xie Mingxi naturally.
There is a charcoal pot burning in the room, which is warm and cozy.
Xie Mingxi was wearing a mostly new home-style dress, with her long hair half pulled up and half hanging down on her chest. Her skin was as white as jade, her eyes were bright and her teeth were bright, her lips were slightly pursed, and there were light dimples on her cheeks.
The two looked at each other, and their hearts beat a little faster.
"Mingxi, long time no see, are you okay?" Sheng Hong asked dryly, and as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he was secretly annoyed.
You must look very stupid!
Fortunately, Xie Mingxi lost her usual sharp tongue and responded awkwardly: "Everything is fine with me. How are you doing, Your Highness?"
Sheng Hong said: "Everything is fine."
…
Xianghui and Fuyu on the side felt their teeth aching after hearing this.
Although they haven't seen each other for a month, the two of them have never lost touch with each other. Sheng Hong sends Xianghui to Lianchi Academy every day, and there are messages almost every day...
They really don't understand that not seeing each other for one day is like three autumns.
Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi stopped talking.
There is a sticky sweetness flowing in the air.
Gu Shanchang suddenly felt that he was particularly annoying and unnecessary, and couldn't help coughing.
Sheng Hong reluctantly looked back and looked at Chief Gu with a smile: "Tomorrow is the end of the year, and there is a palace banquet in the palace. I can't leave the palace without authorization. Therefore, I came to visit Chief Gu one day in advance."
"I also brought some food from the palace. Tonight, I will have two drinks with the mountain chief."
Gu Shanchang did not refuse, but only smiled teasingly: "It seems that I have been exposed to the light of the bright sun tonight."
If Xie Mingxi hadn't been here, how could Sheng Hong be so attentive?
Sheng Hong smiled cheekily: "The mountain chief is Mingxi's master, just like my master. It is also necessary to respect your master."
Without waiting for Sheng Hong's instructions, Xianghui and Eunuch Wei each came forward with four-layer food boxes. The small round pear wood table was quickly filled with exquisite dishes.
I don’t know what trick Sheng Hong used. On a cold day, the dishes in the food box came out piping hot.
Xie Mingxi smiled and asked casually: "You came out of the palace, it took you half an hour to talk at least. Why are the dishes still hot?"
Sheng Hong said with a smile: "This is not difficult. I specially asked someone to bring two buckets of hot water. The food boxes are suspended on the hot water. The hot steam will evaporate, so the dishes in the food boxes will not get cold."
To put it lightly, I don’t know how much thought was put into this journey.
All because Xie Mingxi is picky and refuses to eat anything other than hot food.
The two had eaten together as classmates for three years, and Sheng Hong knew Xie Mingxi's preferences very well. The dishes were hot, with both meat and vegetables, and everything was exquisitely and deliciously prepared. Even the presentation was very particular.
The dishes on the table are all Xie Mingxi’s favorites.
The fruit wine she brought was also Xie Mingxi’s favorite peach fruit wine, which was sour and sweet with a long aftertaste.
No matter how cold the weather was, Xie Mingxi felt that her cold heart was warming up as she held this burning heart in front of her.
"Mingxi," Sheng Hong raised his glass and grinned at her: "Every year at the end of the year, I will drink with you."
Xie Mingxi pursed her lips and smiled, then drank the fruit wine. Perhaps because she was tipsy or because the charcoal basin in the room was too warm, her beautiful face also turned an intoxicating blush.
Sheng Hong picked up Xie Mingxi's favorite fresh bamboo shoots: "Try the bamboo shoots, are they fresh and sweet?"
Xie Mingxi took a sip and nodded slightly: "It tastes quite good."
As a result, more than half of the bamboo shoots on the plate were put into Xie Mingxi's bowl.
Gu Shanchang, who also loves eating bamboo shoots: "..."
…
After finally staying up until the end of dinner, Gu Shanchang immediately said: "I'll go out for a walk to eat, and you two can chat for a while."
There is no room for others in this room.
After leaving the house, Gu Shanchang breathed a sigh of relief.
Ruoyao couldn't help laughing and laughed: "His Royal Highness and Miss Mingxi have a deep friendship, and Miss Mingxi should be happy for them."
Gu Shanchang couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Why am I unhappy? However, you should restrain yourself in front of me. This brat clearly did it on purpose and deliberately tried to push me away!"
Ruoyao burst into laughter.
Gu Shanchang was not really angry. He complained casually and then laughed.
As Ruoyao said, Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi had a very good relationship, and her master was naturally very happy to see it. However, Gu Shanchang was a little more worried than Ruoyao.
Back then, how deeply did Emperor Jianwen treat Empress Yu?
However, no matter how deep the love is, it cannot withstand the passage of time. Coupled with Empress Dowager Li, a mean and cunning evil mother-in-law, the life of Empress Yu in charge of the harem is far less glorious than outsiders imagine.
Worry and hard work are still secondary, but the love between husband and wife has been faded away.
Queen Yu never said it, but Chief Gu Shan could see it.
Today's emperors and empresses seem to be in harmony, but in fact they have long been separated.
Now that Sheng Hong is treating Xie Mingxi like this, what will happen in the future?
Chief Gu Shan couldn't help but think of what Xie Mingxi had said, and the worries in his heart quickly dissipated.
Compared with Yu Lianniang, who was naive and enthusiastic when she was young, Xie Mingxi is unusually sober and calm, and has not been obsessed with love and lost her mind and reason.
Such Xie Mingxi will live bravely and strongly no matter when the time comes.
Gu Shanchang quickly felt relieved and walked slowly.
On weekdays, I only give them time for a cup of tea. Today, be more generous and give them time for a stick of incense!
…
As soon as Gu Shanchang left, Xianghui Fuyu and others also retreated.
Only Xie Mingxi and Sheng Hong were left in the room.
"I……"
The two of them opened their mouths in unison, and then said in unison: "You speak first."
Such a tacit understanding is really interesting.
Xie Mingxi laughed dumbly, and the blush on her fair cheeks deepened: "You go ahead and say it!"
Sheng Hong's mind was wandering, and he had no time to talk. He quietly came closer and said, "Mingxi."
Xie Mingxi hummed and raised her head slightly.
There was suddenly a shadow on the top of my head.
Sheng Hong came forward without knowing when, boldly hugged her waist, lowered his head, and placed his hot lips on her cheek. (To be continued)
