Years of drama and become a concubine

Chapter 72 Meeting an Old Man in a Foreign Land ([-])
XiaoXiaoPhiYi got up and gently pushed the door out.The bright moon was in the sky, and the moonlight falling on the ground looked like frost. Chen Tingqiu put on a coat with wide sleeves, and stood facing the wind, with the sleeves filled with the breeze, like an exiled fairy going away month by month.Xiao Xiao's breath tightened, and she said shyly, "Ting Qiu?"

He turned around, saw Xiao Xiao, and showed a soft smile: "You haven't fallen asleep yet? This can't work, your injury hasn't healed yet and you need to rest, go back quickly."

Xiao Xiao spread her hands and said: "If you can't sleep, you can't sleep. The moonlight is so beautiful today, you don't call me."

Ting Qiu laughed softly when he heard the words, and seeing Xiao Xiao looked over suspiciously, he explained: "I remember one time when you were a child, you couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and moved a stool to watch the moon in the yard. At that time, you were only ten years old, but Like a little adult, but with a big mouth, he secretly stole meat muffins and dried fruit from the kitchen, and ate them while watching the moon in a daze. I got up in the middle of the night and happened to bump into you. You were startled, please don’t Tell Boss Zhen that at that time you had a thin face upturned, a little bit of meat floss on the corner of your mouth, your hair was loose and you only braided two small braids with red string at your temples, and you looked at me with big teary eyes. At that time, my heart was as soft as a cloud, how could I report? So I also moved a stool, and I ate and watched with you. You were very relieved and finally fell asleep leaning on my shoulder. I carried you back to the room. Who would have imagined that one that was so small when you curled up, would suddenly become so big now."

Listening to his eloquence, Xiaoxiao's words were full of warmth. Although this memory did not belong to her, she couldn't help but immerse herself in it.She raised her head and looked at him quietly, hesitated to speak.

"Xiao Xiao, I know what you want to say, but you don't have to say it." Ting Qiu looked away from her face, and looked at the bright moon in the sky, "Whatever you want to say, in the past ten years, every year Every day of January, it's written on my face, and I keep telling myself, but it's useless."

"I've been thinking all day, why it's not you who live with me, why it's not you who cook with me..." Chen Tingqiu choked up.

"You are my family member, the best and best brother." Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and said, "Tingqiu, why don't you take pity on the person in front of you, Princess Wan..."

"Are you happy with me?" he asked suddenly interrupting her.

Xiao Xiao was taken aback: "You know, it's not that kind of liking."

"Aren't I the person in front of you?" Ting Qiu looked at the small clear pupils, and the fundus of her eyes was exactly her painful face.

Xiao Xiao was at a loss for words for a while, and had nothing to say.

"So you don't understand? I won't marry her just like you won't love me." Ting Qiu smiled wryly.There was a sudden squeak, and the wind blew the door, making a soft noise, which was very harsh in the quiet night.The two looked back together, and the door flicked twice, then stopped moving again.

Ting Qiu seemed to realize his gaffe at this time, and regained his gentle expression, and asked softly: "Just... just ask me as a brother, who do you like, little one? If you say it, I will Also... don't worry."

Xiaoxiao has never really questioned her own heart, looked directly at the thoughts in her heart.But now that Ting Qiu asked this question, she thought about it and suddenly realized that from the beginning to the end, the only person she wanted to be a couple for the rest of her life was Sima Yu.The only person she imagined living with was Sima Yu, and he was the only one who had eaten her Hongshan Luoxue. He knew her habit of drooling while sleeping, knew that she was an actress a long time ago, knew that she didn't like to cry but only laughed, and he knew Familiar with her body, but also understand her heart.Especially in these few days of being alone, she knew that Sima Yu was the only one in her heart. She missed him very much with every plant and tree she passed, and every word she said inadvertently.But she was also afraid that after marrying him, she would never be able to have the happiness of being together as a husband and wife in an ordinary family for the rest of her life. There would only be endless disputes in the deep palace, and she would have to walk on thin ice and be frightened at every step.She minded his identity, which made her afraid to approach him.

Ting Qiu sensed her silence, tremblingly said: "I see, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Xiao was a little surprised, and raised her head just as she was about to refute.

He suddenly laughed dumbly and said: "Don't deny it, you have always had the same expression when you want to lie since you were young."

Xiao Xiao was very annoyed, she hadn't said a word yet, but Ting Qiu saw it clearly, so she could only blame her: "Ting Qiu!"

Seeing that she was shy, Ting Qiu shook her hand, and said with some relief: "That's fine. Now you are a young lady of the Yan family, and you are well suited to His Royal Highness. With the shade of the Yan family, I don't have to do it again." Worried that you will be wronged."

"It's windy at night, go and rest, I'll fall asleep in a while." He turned his head away from her and looked up at the moon, as if he really wanted to concentrate on admiring the moon, but his eyes were crystal clear , as if holding back something.

Xiaoxiao guarded him for a while, afraid that it would be too long. Princess Wan woke up and found no one to be frightened, so she pushed the door and entered the room. Wan'er was still in the same posture just now, sleeping soundly, with a scar on her face. The sleep marks pressed by the pillow, Xiaoxiao lay down with her back facing her and folded her clothes, sleepless all night.

The next day was just dawn, and Xiaoxiao sat up, and saw that Ting Qiu had already got up, and put the shoes on her feet.Seeing that Xiaoxiao woke up, Ting Qiu smiled: "You sleep for a while, I'll go out and ask for some work."

Duke Wan took the initiative, rubbed his eyes, stretched his waist, sat up, looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "Sister, did you sleep well?"

"Huh? It's okay..."

"The eyes are swollen, and the dark circles under the eyes are so heavy." Princess Wan got up and brought a brass mirror to shine on her.Xiao Xiao saw that it was indeed very obvious, and then secretly turned to look at Ting Qiu, afraid that the two of them looked like they hadn't slept well, so they couldn't tell.

Fortunately, Ting Qiu's face was fair and clear, and her pair of bright eyes were the same as before, so she felt relieved and lay down on the bed: "Anyway, I'm a lazy person, I'm resting and recuperating, I'll go to sleep later."

Princess Wan also laughed, but she seemed much calmer than Xiaoxiao: "It's my sister's fault. I squeezed my sister last night, and my sister didn't sleep well." After saying that, she obediently got out of the couch and tidied up.Both of them packed up, Wan'er tugged at Ting Qiu's sleeve and said, "I'll go out with you, I'm going to the market to pick up some fresh vegetables."

Ting Qiu nodded, and said again: "A few days ago, I saw Tartars coming and going in and out of the station, Wan'er, you should be careful on weekdays."

Wan'er was very surprised and asked, "How did the Tartars get in?"

Putting his hands on his head, Xiaoxiao replied casually: "The inside line of the Tartars probably entered the imperial capital long ago. From Liuli Town to Hongzhou, there are probably Tartars haunting this line. Now the country is not strong enough. Almost all of it is in Liuli Town, which is used to contain Uwe's army. In other places, as long as there is no accident, there is no spare power at all."

Princess Wan covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Sister Su seems to have seen a lot in the front line this time, and she already knows about it."

Xiao Xiao caressed the wound on his shoulder and thought of Sima Yulai again. He didn't know whether he and General Yan Xi couldn't find him, whether he was anxious or relieved. Thinking of this, he couldn't help sighing: "It doesn't matter if you don't mention it."

The two said goodbye to Xiao Xiao, told Xiao Xiao to sleep for a while, and went out together.

Xiaoxiao was indeed very sleepy, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep while she was alone on the big bed.This time, I really fell asleep without knowing anything, like falling into a bottomless abyss, falling continuously, but never falling to the bottom...
