Da Suining

Chapter 226 Belt
Xiang Yan's footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Xiang Suining could even see the golden embroidered flowers on her embroidered shoes, one by one hibiscus flowers, circling around the edge of the shoes.

The embroidery on the shoes became clearer and clearer, and the light on the white pearls the size of rice grains dotted in the flower center was as pure and dazzling as the moonlight on August [-]th.

Xiang Yan has already come to the front: "So you are hiding here, so it is you." Xiang Yan pushed aside the vines, Guo Kai and others heard the movement, and quickly surrounded them.

"It's you, it really is you." Xiang Yan looked down at Xiang Suining condescendingly, "Wandering around Qingcheng Mountain furtively all day long, and even said that he didn't follow me."

"Miss San, we really didn't..." Mingzhu tried to explain.

"Then what are you doing here? What did you see just now?"

"We didn't see anything...we didn't...see anything." Mingzhu stammered.

"There is no one else here except you. You can't blame us for seeing something you shouldn't." Xiang Yan winked at Guo Kai.

Guo Cheng didn't have a good opinion of Xiang Suining at all.

This girl is like a bird, always catching him and running away.

This time it really came without any effort.

New accounts and old accounts can be settled together.

Guo Cheng rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward, with his strength, Xiang Suining was doomed.

Unexpectedly, Guo Kai was overturned to the ground all of a sudden, he retreated four or five steps away, and only stopped when he bumped into the mulberry tree.

Under the vine, at some point, Xiang Guoxin came out and put his hands in front of Xiang Suining: "Why, more people bully and less people?"

Xiangyan was startled by the sudden protruding head: "You...you...how could it be you."

"Who does the third sister think?"

"I...I..." Xiang Yan's face turned red, "Guo Xin, what are you doing here?"

"Second sister and I are here to catch scorpions. The weather is hot and the vines are under the shade, so we come to dig the soil to see if there are any scorpions."

"Really?"

"What's the truth? We just caught one, why did the third sister come here, third sister, what are you doing here? You don't come to catch scorpions too, do you?"

Xiangyan was taken aback.

Yeah, what is she doing here?
So he had to say in embarrassment: "I...I...yes, I also came to catch scorpions, didn't I say, that thing...is a medicinal material?"

"Didn't you see the third sister carrying tools?"

"I...I...I just came to see if there are any scorpions... By the way, Guoxin...Just now..."

"What happened just now?"

"Did you see anything just now?"

"See what?"

"I didn't see it..." Xiang Yan didn't give up: "Then... did you see anyone passing by here?"

"We..." Xiangguo thought for a while, "I didn't see anyone passing by."

After hearing this, several followers immediately surrounded him again.

Xiangguo hurriedly corrected his words: "People, except us, I didn't see anyone passing by, but... just now I saw a gray rabbit, big and fat, running wildly. I wanted to catch it and take it home to eat. Rabbit meat, it's a pity that there are so many of you and there is such a big commotion, the rabbit was frightened and ran into the grass, and he didn't know where he went."

"A rabbit or a rabbit, it's so hot, it's going to rain now, why don't you just stay in the mansion and run out to do something." Xiangyan was annoyed: "Look at your dirt, you climb over the wall and dig every day. How do you learn the rules in the palace, it makes people laugh."

"The third sister's clothes...what's going on?"

Xiang Yan looked down, and it turned out that in a panic, the skirt was put on backwards, and the two silver buttons near the neck of the coat were not fastened, revealing the bright red piping of the belly pocket inside.

Xiangyan turned around in a hurry, buttoned up the buttons in a panic, and couldn't change the reversed skirt, her face was flushed with embarrassment: "I still have something to do, I...I'll go first."

"Third sister, you...you..."

"What are you?"

"Third Sister, whose belt...is it in your hand? It looks like a man's."

Xiangyan was even more embarrassed, and stuffed the belt back into Chunyu's arms: "This is... this is... embroidered by Chunyu, I'm leaving..."

Xiangyan trotted away.

Guo Kai chased after him in his carriage.

The clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, so thick that they almost pressed down, the wind was blowing over the mountains, and the air was very humid.

Seeing that the raindrops are about to fall.

Xiang Suining and others also rushed back along the path.

"Second Sister, are you the one that Third Sister wanted to arrest just now?" Xiang Guo asked heartily.

"Yes."

"Why did the third sister arrest the second sister?"

Xiang Suining didn't know how to answer.

Xiangguo is still young, if you tell him this kind of thing, it's okay if he doesn't understand, but if you understand, it's so embarrassing.

Xiang Suining looked up at the sky, and changed the topic: "Guo Xin, it's going to rain soon, we have to leave quickly."

"it is good."

"Guo Xin, you were the one who rescued me just now, why are you here?"

"I have nothing to do. I heard from the person at the door that Second Sister, you went out with the jar again. I knew you were here to catch scorpions again, so I wanted to join in the fun."

Xiang Guoxin held a section of rattan in his hand, and he smoked it twice as he walked. After walking for a while, he turned around and asked Xiang Suining, "Second Sister, what happened to Third Sister's clothes just now?"

"Guo Xin, don't worry about this kind of thing."

"The belt in the third sister's hand just now is probably not the second prince Guo's, right? I see that he has his arms open and he is not wearing a belt."

Xiang Suining didn't know how to answer, so he just kept silent.

"Second Sister, it wasn't the one surnamed Guo who bullied the Third Sister just now, right? I think the Third Sister was very flustered, and the one surnamed Guo looked lewd. You see, there was no Third Sister before and after, no Is it Guo who kidnapped the third sister? If that's the case, I have to go find Guo and do my best."

"Guo Xin, she can handle your third sister's affairs by herself."

When Xiang Suining said so, Xiang Guoxin could only suppress the doubts in his heart.

Xiangfu.

The air is a little stuffy.

The rain that should have fallen has not yet fallen, and the black clouds in the sky have pressed to the roof.

After running a few times in the mountains, my legs and feet were very tired. After dinner, Mingzhu poured hot water into the big wooden bucket and waited for Xiang Suining to take a bath.

The large wooden barrel is full of water vapor, and there are many flowers in summer. The newly picked rose petals are floating in the water, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing.

After removing the rings, combing her hair, and helping to hang the faded clothes on the rack, Mingzhu Fang helped Xiang Suining to sit in the barrel.

"Girl is tired, soak for a while to relieve fatigue." Mingzhu said, and poured two scoops of hot water from the small wooden bucket into the large wooden bucket.

"You should rest too." Xiang Suining yawned.

"There's not much hot water, I'll go to the kitchen to get some more." Mingzhu went out with the wooden bucket, and closed the door by the way.

The water vapor rose up, and half the room was filled with mist, like a puff of suspended smoke.

After a while, the smoke dissipated, and Xiang Suining poured some warm water on her hair with a ladle. The warm water crawled along her back, like little warm snakes, so comfortable.

The rose petals were rippling in the wooden barrel, rippling like red boats, Xiang Suining held up the petals and let the water flow away between his fingers, the sound of splashing water was like a hypnotic tune.

It is so comfortable to wrap the body in hot water.

Xiang Suining picked up the water and washed his face, trying to regain his energy.

When he looked up, he saw a dark shadow at the door.

Xiang Suining thought he was dazzled.

The candle flickered, flickered, and she rubbed her eyes.

It was the same black shadow, not very tall, and not too moving.Just stay there through the door.

"Pearl?" Xiang Suining called out tentatively.

No one answered.

"Pearl!" Xiang Suining called out again.

Still no answer.

Xiang Suining immediately became vigilant, turned around and stood up to get the clothes from the shelf.

Before the clothes were in hand, the door was pushed open with a "squeak".

Xiang Suining was completely naked, so he had no choice but to retract into the barrel, with only his head exposed.

Fortunately, there is a layer of rose petals on the surface of the water, so that her body will not be exposed in front of others.

It was none other than Xiangyan who came in.

Xiangyan changed her clothes, wearing a light green Cantonese embroidered shirt and a gray gauze skirt woven with gold trim.And deliberately inserted a blooming warm silk flower on the sideburns.

The silk flowers are bright and colorful, layered on top of each other, which is very beautiful.

Xiang Suining remembered that she also had such a silk flower, which was placed in the drawer of the dressing table, and it was given by Lu Yu.

This kind of silk flower is probably made in the palace.

Xiangyan is close to Guo Kai, it is not unusual for her to have such silk flowers.

She looks like she just took a shower, her hair is damp, and the water droplets on her chest have not been wiped off.

She was beautiful in her own right, dressed up like this, and she looked a bit lazy in the bath, even Xiang Suining couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

Xiang Yan leaned over, stroking the rose petals in the barrel with her slender fingers, then picked up a little water, and gently sprinkled it on Xiang Suining's shoulder.

They were very close, Xiang Suining who was close could see Xiang Yan's chest clearly.

She has developed a lot this year.

Xiang Yan stared at Xiang Suining who was shrunk in the wooden barrel and laughed: "What are you doing hiding so tightly, it's dry and there's nothing to see."

"What do you want to do?" Xiang Suining asked back.

"I heard that you are taking a bath, so I came here to take a look." Xiang Yan snorted coldly, "But... I'm a little disappointed, just you..." She looked Xiang Suining up and down: "You really don't have much to see here. .”

"I'm afraid you didn't come to me to say that."

Xiang Yan took a towel to wipe the water off her hands, then threw the towel back into the barrel: "I know, you are the one peeking at Mount Qingcheng today."

Xiang Suining silently held the rose petals in his palm.

"You must want to know why I know it's you, right? I've seen your eyes big since I was a child, and I can tell them with just one glance. So, you let Guoxin lie to me and say it's a rabbit, I don't believe it at all."

"Then why did you let me go? If Guo Cheng was present, he could have killed me."

"Guoxin is there, he is my younger brother after all. I don't want him to know about the matter between me and the second prince. As for you, if you don't have Guoxin, you probably don't deserve to live. Who told you to watch something you shouldn't."

"People who do these things deserve to live, what's wrong with me?"

"You...Only you know about this matter, if anyone else knows..."

"You threatened me?" Xiang Suining was quite surprised.

According to common sense, shouldn't Xiangyan cry and beg Xiang Suining to keep it secret?

"If this matter is leaked out, I will lose face, and you will not have a good time."

"what do you want?"

"Just like today, if a few thieves broke into the prime minister's mansion, entered your room, watched you take a shower, or did something to you... in the future, I'm afraid your reputation... you will not be easy Bar?"

Xiang Suining couldn't help but look at Xiang Yan again.

She didn't expect that the current Xiangyan would be so courageous.

Somewhat disappointed.

Although there was never any hope, Xiang Suining felt icy cold when such words came out of Xiang Yan's mouth.

Such a summer night, such a cold feeling, made her remember it for many years.

"Girl, girl, are you okay girl." Mingzhu came in carrying hot water, nervously put down the wooden bucket to protect Xiang Suining's side: "What's the third girl doing? Our second girl is taking a bath, third girl, please go out."

Xiangyan snorted, and went with Chunyu's support.

"Mingzhu, bring me a towel, I won't wash it anymore."

"Girl, it's all my fault. It's because I was too slow on the road. The third girl... Did the third girl make things difficult for the girl?"

Xiang Suining shook his head: "Mingzhu, bring me my middle coat, I'm going to sleep."

There was no moonlight that night.

A thick layer of clouds remained on the roof.

Xiang Suining lay on the bed, looking at the dancing candles on the small table, what appeared in front of his eyes was Xiang Yan.

The rain beat down like a pour.

The green plantains under the window could not withstand the ravages of the rain, they broke from it and lay motionless in the muddy water.

Clusters of bright flowers were uprooted by the splashing rain, and the petals drifted away with the accumulated water on the ground one by one.

The rain was beating against the window, as if a ghost was rushing at night.

The world is vast and chaotic.

This night, Xiang Suining tossed and turned.

Xiangyan lay there, stroking the pearl belt Guo Kai gave her, with a slight smile on her face.

"Chunyu, did you hear that? He said that he would allow me to be the queen after he became the emperor." Xiangyan stroked Guo Kai's belt over and over again: "Although he is not very talented, he is the emperor's son." Son, maybe you can be the emperor in the future. Then I will be blessed."

"Congratulations to the third girl, the third girl is outstanding in appearance, a son with the status of the second prince is worthy of the girl."

"Do you think he loves me or not?"

"Of course I love you. No matter how busy the second prince is, he will always find time to meet the third girl. This month, the second prince and the girl...have seen the girl four times."

"Shh... what nonsense." Xiangyan blushed and looked out the door. The night was dark and it was raining heavily.

Chunyu closed the door cautiously, and lit another lamp in the room.

"Third Miss, the second prince's belt is really beautiful. It is made of embroidery, and it looks like something from the palace. The round pearls are worth a lot of silver. The second prince really loves the girl. The girl wants the stars in the sky. The second prince I will also pick it for the girl."

"Girl, I am beautiful, but he is so obsessed with me. Hey, what can I do? You bring the third brocade box on the bedside shelf."

Chunyu did so.

Xiangyan opened the brocade box, and it was empty inside. She carefully folded up the belt adorned with pearls, put it in the brocade box and closed it: "This is the proof that I will be a queen in the future, Chunyu, take it away." Well, don't let outsiders see it."

"Yes."
