Long Live The Emperor! Chapter 33: Breaking
When Xia Xiaosu pushed open the door, his brother was still engraving the rosary. He engraved it very carefully and his hands were steady. Even though Feixue had dyed his hair white, his brother still plucked out the rosary attentively. The pieces were cut out and neatly stacked in the long wooden box on the side of the hand.
The princess carefully closed the door, her long legs slowly moving, for fear of disturbing her brother, she put on fluffy deerskin boots, grabbed the oil-paper umbrella leaning against the corner, and did not rush to open it. He just walked down the steps slowly and slowly, walked into the heavy snow, and walked to the door of the courtyard of the Cangjing Pavilion. As soon as he got out of the door, he opened the umbrella with a "clatter".
There are dots of white plums on the umbrella surface and branches made of ink and wash.
In the snowy ocean current, white plums drifted into the distance.
Floating on this earth where the world is full of enemies.
The palace maid and **** had prepared a dinner for a long time. Although there was no one hundred dishes for the emperor's presence, there were still dozens of dishes.
Xia Xiaosu glanced at so many delicious meats, and said softly, "Next time you can prepare two dishes and one soup. My brother and I can't eat much."
So, she chose three dishes and two pots of wine, and said to the palace maid and eunuch: "The other dishes, please share."
The palace maid and **** showed joy: "Thank you, Princess."
When Xia Xiaosu returned to the library, Xia Ji was just relieved and looked up at her.
"Brother, it's time to eat."
The princess wanted to walk into the house with the basket.
Xia Ji patted the cloister under the eaves. The cloister was more than a foot off the ground, and the world was snowing. "Let's eat here."
The princess was stunned for a moment. There are many royal dining rules. There are many people sitting on the corridor to eat. Even the servants would not dare to do so.
If it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit.
She was just stunned for a second, then she answered "yes" obediently, then put the food basket on the wooden corridor, and took out a plate of beef with chestnuts and crispy peppers, a plate of Bazhen chicken, a plate of Secretly made boneless leg of lamb, and then took out two pots of fine wine without any cover.
No one is watching, so naturally there is no need to cover up.
Xia Ji knew that if her sister asked herself to drink, she would only take one pot, and if she took two pots, she would also drink a pot herself, but Xia Xiaosu's drinking capacity could be called "miserable" To describe in two words, she is not a drinker at all, she just heard some rumors when she drinks.
So, Xia Ji asked, "Do you use wine to cover your sorrows?"
Xia Xiaosu: "I don't know if it's worry."
"Are you sympathizing with those innocent people in the imperial capital?"
"Yes, I just sympathize with them, but... I'm just a useless princess who can't even control her own destiny. I can't do anything. I'm really a waste."
Xia Ji did not comfort her, and said softly, "Then drink it."
Xia Xiaosu didn't speak, and quickly poured herself a drink, then sipped, continued to pour, continued to sip, poured for the third time, and still sipped for the third time. It seemed very heroic, but in fact, her cheeks were already fluttering. The flames started, the body was shaky, and the snowflakes in front of him had become mosaics.
Xia Ji couldn't help laughing: "What are you worried about?"
"I'm not worried!"
Xia Xiaosu is already drinking her fifth cup, her eyes are misted with water, and the stimulation of alcohol makes her talk a little more, "I've already thought about it anyway, no matter what you want to do, brother, I'm on your side, and if you die, I'll kill myself."
After saying these words, she patted her chest and made a shocking sound of gold and stone.
She took it out, took out a white sharkskin dagger, and slapped it between the two.
"I will not die. If one day you hear rumors that I am dead, you must not believe it. You must see my body before committing suicide."
"Yeah!"
Xia Ji was eating vegetables, drinking wine, watching the wind and snow, the night was long, and the night was not long, Xia Xiaosu was drinking fast wine.
The two were silent, listening to the wind and snow, but also the cry of some distant imperial capitals from the wind and snow.
Xia Ji suddenly asked: "You have already returned the Maitreya Sutra, have you encountered those foxes again?"
"Yes."
Xia Xiaosu thought back for a while, and continued: "When the royal family left the capital that day, I actually met them again. I returned the book to Hu Ling, and Hu Ling asked me to teach me how to read. , I asked her as you said 'what does Miss Hu want?'"
"What did she say then?"
"Hu Ling said that what she wants is a big business royal family that can tolerate demons."
Xia Ji said: "Then how did you respond to her?"
Xia Xiaosu: "I said as long as demons don't eat people and harm people, why can't they be tolerated? Then Miss Hu Ling said let me not forget this sentence..."
Xia Ji thought for a while, then rubbed her long hair: "Then you can't be a little girl."
Xia Xiaosu said: "I was never a little girl."
After saying this, she took the pot and rushed to the pot. She approached the mouth of the pot with no princess demeanor, and drank heavily. past.
She is a princess, but she can't be said to be elegant, she can't be said to be a country and city, she can't be said to be wise and approachable, and she is completely different from the second, fourth, and eighth princesses...
If I had to talk about temperament, it would be a bit of desolation that was incompatible with the royal family~IndoMTL.com~ Her face was not large, her skin was pale, her hair was soft and slightly yellow, and she was not tall, only 1.5 meters. All the boots were specially raised inwards so as not to tarnish the royal dignity, but fortunately, her body was well-proportioned and her legs were proportionately long, like a beauty one size down.
Her blue silk easily hangs around her waist, and when the **** speaks to her, she will definitely kneel or be short, otherwise she will be charged with "overlooking the princess".
Xia Ji saw her calves dangling in the air, her face was flushed and her eyes were red, so she stood up and hugged her. The princess shrank into her arms, the world was too cold, There is no warm place to go.
Xia Ji carried her and walked into her bedroom step by step. Although the wind and snow were heavy, he spread out his Zen thoughts, but he did not touch the body of the wind and snow, nor would it touch the body of the princess.
Put her on the bed, took off her boots, took off her coat, gently covered the quilt, and kept a candle light in case she woke up in the middle of the night and saw the darkness in her eyes, she would be afraid, and she left another one. A portion of honey water to prevent her from having a hangover and headache and no water to drink. After doing all this, Xia Ji turned around and left and walked to the door. He heard a soft cry on the bed.
He paused, but didn't look back, just quietly closed the door.
Walking into the ice and snow and returning to the Tibetan Sutra Pavilion, he directly summoned Eunuch Mei, "Have you ever found the behind-the-scenes instigators of those mob?"
"The old slaves are incompetent. They hide too deeply. They would rather commit suicide than reveal it."
Xia Ji nodded and did not continue the topic, but said: "Tomorrow morning, I will go to the Leiyin Temple on Mount Sumeru to read the book. It will take three days. You can continue to investigate."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Eunuch Mei replied, as always with awe and sincerity.
