Chapter 44
There is not a single star in the sky tonight, and the moon is not perfectly round. It is curved like a silver hook, but it is very bright and white, and the ground looks like it is covered with frost.

Su Xiaoxiao was wearing a green and silver pattern embroidered butterfly skirt, with a shocking bun tied up.I didn't wear too many pearl hairpins for embellishment, but only inserted an exquisite emerald green butterfly step.Walking slowly, the butterflies in her hair were fluttering and flapping. She was covered in moonlight like an elf who had strayed into the world.

Su Xiaoxiao went to Dongyuan alone. She was used to bringing Qiuyue with her, but thinking that Qiuyue was exhausted today, she decided to go alone.

After arriving in Dongyuan, the maid directly led Su Xiaoxiao to Jun Ruoli's bedroom.At this time, Jun Ruoli was sitting at the table, looking at the glazed cup in her hand.Seeing Su Xiaoxiao coming, he put down the cup and said with a smile, "You're here!"

Su Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed, and asked, "I've been waiting for a long time, it must be very boring! I think you've been here looking at the cup."

"It's okay!" Jun Ruoli said softly, "Did you sleep well?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, and replied: "Very good."

"Then shall we eat now, or wait a little longer?" Jun Ruoli asked.

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a while, and replied: "Let's eat now! You must be very hungry after waiting for me for so long."

When Jun Ruoli heard this, she smiled and said, "Although I'm not in good health, I won't starve to death if I take a meal a little later. Even if you are later, I can wait. Since you said to use it now , then I will listen to you."

Jun Ruoli got up immediately, and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Follow me."

Seeing Jun Ruoli walking out, Su Xiaoxiao quickly followed behind him.The two left the bedroom and crossed the front hall, but Jun Ruoli still didn't stop.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but asked suspiciously: "Where are we going? Aren't we eating in the front hall?"

Jun Ruoli looked back at Su Xiaoxiao, and said with a smile: "Today we won't have dinner in the front hall, you can come with me."

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao stopped talking and continued to follow Jun Ruoli.Jun Ruoli led Su Xiaoxiao through the rockery and came to the lakeside of Dongyuan.

Su Xiaoxiao looked up, but saw a lotus-shaped glazed lamp on the top of each stone pillar on both sides of the trestle leading to the lake center pavilion, and a lotus-shaped glazed lantern was also hung on the octagonal pavilion with double eaves and pointed roof in the center of the lake. Four glazed palace lanterns are painted with vivid lotus flowers.

The light reflected into the water, and cast a phantom shadow of the trestle bridge on the water surface. Although it was not realistic enough, it was vaguely connected to the trestle bridge, which made Su Xiaoxiao feel somewhat unreal.

In particular, a halo formed around the warm yellow light. After staring at it for a long time, Su Xiaoxiao didn't know where the trestle bridge in front of him led to.

Jun Ruoli looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a smile, in front of the lantern under the moon, she was shrouded in two kinds of light, more like a fairy in the sky, strayed into the mortal world.

"Princess, please." He made a gesture of invitation, elegant and gentlemanly.

Su Xiaoxiao lost some of her sanity due to such a scene, and she didn't realize the deep meaning of what Jun Ruoli called her.However, she understood that Jun Ruoli wanted her to walk on the trestle bridge, so she stepped on the trestle bridge and walked towards the Huxin Pavilion.

When she was a maid in the past, she accompanied Jun Ruoli to the Huxin Pavilion to enjoy the wind and the scenery.It was not the first time she had walked this trestle bridge, but this time it made her feel a little strange.She walked extremely slowly, as if she was stepping on clouds with every step, without any feeling of stepping on the ground.

Jun Ruoli followed behind Su Xiaoxiao, not in a hurry.He deliberately kept an appropriate distance from Su Xiaoxiao, neither close nor far, so that Su Xiaoxiao would not feel anxious.

The two finally walked to the pavilion and sat opposite each other across the table.Su Xiaoxiao found that the original stools in the pavilion had been replaced by carved wooden chairs, and the seats were also covered with soft cushions.

After taking her seat, Su Xiaoxiao looked carefully and saw glazed cups placed on the four corners of the pavilion.I couldn't see it clearly in the distance, but now I was sitting in the pavilion, only to find that there was still a gauze curtain hanging on the top of the octagonal pavilion.Presumably it was because he was afraid of the cold wind in the middle of the night, so he was still curled up on the top and hadn't put it down.

The pavilion was just an ordinary viewing pavilion before, so it can be seen that some thought and effort were put into it.

Not long after the two sat down, the maidservants started serving dishes one after another with trays.After the maid served all the dishes, she put down the gauze curtain, and then left the Huxin Pavilion, leaving room for the two of them.

Su Xiaoxiao took a look at the dishes, and it was no surprise that they all suited her own taste.Mushroom and tofu soup with bamboo shoot tip, pineapple cake, hibiscus chicken, Xueyue mutton, fried pipa prawns, mandarin fish with flower blue, and polygonatum root.

Jun Ruoli picked up the white jade jug and poured a glass for Su Xiaoxiao.Bringing the cup to Su Xiaoxiao, she lowered her eyes and said, "This is green plum wine, sweet and sour, I think it will suit your taste."

"Thank you." Su Xiaoxiao's cheeks were stained with a blush, and she took the cup.She was a little ashamed that the table was full of her favorite dishes, and when there was no dish Jun Ruoli liked, she saw Jun Ruoli pouring a glass of green plum wine for herself.

Su Xiaoxiao asked in shock: "The prince wants to drink too? This is wine!"

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with it." Jun Ruoli replied, "Didn't you also drink a cup of wine when you got married?"

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly blushed at the word "hand in a glass of wine", thinking why is it the same now as it was then?While Jun Ruoli was distracted, she had already drank the green plum wine in the glass.

"My lord!" Su Xiaoxiao called out worriedly.After she spoke, she realized that this sound sounded like coquettishness.

Jun Ruoli laughed loudly, her peach blossom eyes were curved like the moon tonight, beautiful and bright.Su Xiaoxiao's face turned redder, and she squeezed the cup in her hand vigorously.

After laughing for a while, Jun Ruoli stopped talking.Otherwise, Su Xiaoxiao will spend tonight in shame and indignation.

With a smile still on the corner of her mouth, Jun Ruoli said: "I know you are worried about my body, but a little green plum wine is nothing. Of course I will remember to drink less. But I am happy today, and I want to accompany you Drink a little. Today you are recovering from a serious illness. I wanted to relax with you, but I didn’t want to have a lot of changes during the day and I couldn’t enjoy myself. Even the meal was disturbed, so I specially ordered someone to arrange it here. Congratulations on your full recovery."

Jun Ruoli's words have reached such a point, Su Xiaoxiao didn't know how to reply for a while.Originally, I wanted to say that you don't need to bother so much, but Jun Ruoli had already made arrangements for it. It seemed that she didn't appreciate it, wasting his heart in vain.

After thinking about it, Su Xiaoxiao finally had no choice but to say: "Thank you, my lord, but my lord should stop drinking, the most important thing is my health. I thank you with this glass of wine."

After finishing speaking, Su Xiaoxiao stood up and drank the wine glass in one gulp.This green plum wine is really as Jun Ruoli said, it is sweet and sour, although it has a little spicy taste, it is still delicious.

Su Xiaoxiao talked about the prince, which made Jun Ruoli feel very alienated.He remembered that when Su Xiaoxiao was extremely sleepy in the carriage, talking to him was much closer than now.Su Xiaoxiao seemed to get closer to him at times, and at other times called him prince, alienating him a lot.

Jun Ruoli looked at Su Xiaoxiao and said: "When you and I are two, you don't have to call me a prince. You can call me by my name directly."

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned, sat down slowly, and replied: "It's a bit impolite to do so."

"I'm sure, what else is inappropriate?" Jun Ruoli replied.

Su Xiaoxiao thought that Gu Nianqing also directly called Jun Ruoli by her name, so she stopped arguing, since it was private anyway.

At this time, Jun Ruoli picked up the jug again and poured more wine for the two of them.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Didn't you promise me not to drink it, Wang, why did you pour it for yourself again?"

Although Su Xiaoxiao didn't call him by his first name directly, she changed it obediently, and Jun Ruoli was very satisfied.He put down the flagon and said with a smile: "That's what you said, I didn't promise you."

"Although you didn't agree, you didn't refute! Didn't you refute? Isn't it a tacit consent?" Su Xiaoxiao retorted, thinking why such a big person is so disobedient? !

"Who said no response means acquiescing?" Jun Ruoli replied with a smile, and there was a special look in Taohua's eyes.

"..." Su Xiaoxiao looked at Jun Ruoli helplessly.Why did she feel that Jun Ruoli was playing tricks?
