Chapter 330
The light in the lantern hit Xue ronghua's side face. Her curled eyelashes cast a shadow at the bottom of her eyes. Chu Chengxun looked at her eyes more and more deeply. The lampshade is also a portrait of beauty. But not half as beautiful as her.
Xiyu looks at the master's affectionate eyes. Hurriedly pulled the corners of his clothes behind him and whispered, "Lord, you should be more careful. If the prospective Princess sees it, it won't end."
Chu Chengxun also felt that his eyes were too explicit. He coughed unnaturally. He replied, "I have my own discretion, so you don't have to worry."
"Can the slave not worry about it? The prospective princess went out without permission against the will of Duan Wang. If Duan Wang knew about it, he would also let him know that we were watching the Lantern Festival together. What should we do after returning to the house?"
"What are you worried about doing so much? You see when the princess to be is as scared as you," Chu Chengxun recalled a playful smile. "Don't worry, the princess to be is a smart person. If she can come out to see the Lantern Festival, she won't be afraid that Duanwang will know. Do you think Duanwang can know?"
Xiyu wanted to say something more, but he waved his hand to stop him. He had to give up and sweep both sides of the street, wary of whether he would meet the servants from Duan Wang's house.
"Childe Xue has a fancy for some interesting lantern riddles." Chu Chengxun smiled. "Can you tell me? It's also for fun."
Xue ronghua's eyes shifted from the rotating lanterns, smiled at him and said, "they are very simple things. I guessed a lot with my father when I was a child. It's just the rest of our play. It's meaningless. I want to disappoint you."
"There's nothing to be disappointed about. Guessing lantern riddles is nothing but fun," Chu Chengxun stared at her. "When I came out to play a few days ago, I ate wonton in a nearby shop. It's better than the imperial food in the palace. It tastes like fireworks. If you have time, you might as well try it with me."
Zhui'er was stunned and hurriedly reminded: "Miss, the Lord is coming back soon. We'd better hurry back to the house. If the Lord doesn't see the miss when he comes back, the slave maid will be beaten by the king."
Xue ronghua glanced at her angrily. "Don't worry. Why are you so nervous? I'm here for everything. If I don't allow him, he won't dare to hit you."
Xiyu also reminded his master, "Lord, we're going to send the princess to be back. The servant is about the time. It's time for the king to return to the house. You also know the king's temper. If you don't see the princess to be, it won't end well if you think of us."
Chu Chengxun glanced at him lightly. "If you want to go back so much, you might as well go back yourself. You can deal with him for a while. I'll come back after eating wonton with the princess to be."
Xiyu took a breath, "Lord, this is not a joke. Duanwang finally believed us. Don't make any mistakes."
Chu Chengxun didn't want to talk to him, but looked at her with a smile, "Miss Xue, it shouldn't take us long to eat wonton there. We should be able to come back before Duanwang. Besides, Duanwang hasn't arrived at the house when you came out. Maybe he stayed in the palace for the night. If you don't worry, we'll go and eat. If you're worried, I'll send you back."
"What I have to worry about is eating wonton," Xue ronghua said with a smile. "I haven't eaten wonton for a long time. I don't want to eat yuanxiao on the Lantern Festival. It's a good choice."
Chu Chengxun moved in his heart and waved his hand behind him, "please."
When Chu Zongge returned to the house, he saw that the lights in the West Pavilion where the princess to be was located had been extinguished and looked dark, so he asked, "did the princess to be rest so early today? It hasn't been so early before."
"The servant is strange," replied the housekeeper, "but the prospective princess did sleep."
"Where's chuaier?" Chu Zongge recalled the lights all the way back just now and felt that something was wrong. "I didn't see chuaier when I came in. The servant can't rest so early."
The housekeeper turned his eyes and wondered, "the servant hasn't seen zhui'er either. He thought she went out to the lantern party tonight."
Chu Zongge's eyes darkened and snorted coldly, "she should have been with the young lady. How could she go out to see the lantern party? You light a lamp for me. I want to go to the West Pavilion to see the princess."
A group of lights lit up the dark Pavilion. Chu Zongge had lightened his steps, but he still creaked on the stairs. He had never noticed that the pavilion was a little old before. It had been reborn for so many years, and the life was like running water.
Chu Zongge first attached his ears to the door and listened to the movement inside, but he didn't hear anything. Only the sound of the night wind echoing in the woods next to the pavilion. A strange flash flashed across his eyes. When he opened the door, the bright light had shone into the room. The quilt on the bed was bulging. She seemed to have fallen asleep.
Chu Zongge narrowed his eyes and asked lightly, "Xue ronghua, why did you sleep so early tonight?"
There was no movement in the quilt. It seemed that he didn't hear what he said. Chu Zongge walked over and opened the quilt. He found that it was not a stuffed pillow, but a person sleeping horizontally.
"Why?" Xue ronghua rubbed his bleary eyes and raised his head from the quilt. "Why did you come back so late? I waited for you for a long time and couldn't wait to sleep."
Chu Zongge quickly covered the quilt for her and said softly, "why did you go to bed so early? I thought you weren't in the quilt."
Xue ronghua lazily nestled in his arms, "where can I be when I'm not in the quilt? Don't you allow me to go out to see the Lantern Festival, then I have to go to bed early. There's nothing to do here."
"When I'm finished with the emperor's business, I'll take you to see it immediately. I'll take you wherever you want to play," Chu Zongge felt her head with some guilt. "It's all my bad, which makes you worry. I'll come back early in the future."
Xue ronghua smiled at him, "I know you're busy with your work. I thought you lived in the palace when you came back so late tonight."
"No, I met sun Peijiu when I came back, so I wasted some time," Chu Zongge smiled softly. "Sun Peijiu knew that the queen was using her to destroy our relationship and promised me that I would not want to marry into Duan Wang's house again."
"She knows?" Xue ronghua frowned. "Then she came to tell you that the queen is going to destroy us?"
Chu Zongge didn't understand, "what do you mean? The Queen really came to destroy us, but sun Peijiu's chess piece is invalid. If she still wants to do bad, she can only consider using others."
Xue ronghua's eyes darkened. "Sun Peijiu has no brain. I think it's easy to deal with her, but if the queen finds someone else, maybe I can't resist."
"What are you talking about? How could I let you resist? I would block all the disturbances from the outside world," Chu Zongge thought and couldn't help laughing. "When I entered the house just now, I saw that the light in your pavilion was off, but I didn't see Zhuer. I thought you let Zhuer lie in bed pretending to be you and went out to watch the lantern party by yourself."
Xue ronghua was stunned and excited. He tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart. He bited his lip and said, "I saw that chui'er was not feeling well, so I let her go back to bed first. How can you doubt me like this? You said you wouldn't allow me to go to the Lantern Festival, so I was obedient. How can I face you?"
"It's rare for you to be so clever," said Chu Zongge, gazing deeply into her eyes and slightly raising the corners of her lips. "If only I could be so good in the future, I wouldn't have to be angry with you from time to time."
"Who wants to be angry with you? Obviously, you're too strict with me," Xue ronghua pursed his lips and didn't want to go on. "I slept well. You woke me up again. If there's nothing wrong, go back quickly. I have to sleep."
Chu Zongge lifted up the corners of his lips and touched her forehead. "I think your disease is almost better. Please ask the king to take your pulse tomorrow. It seems that he will recover in the beginning of spring."
"You want me to get better so much, don't you want to get married quickly," Xue ronghua said with a coquettish smell close to his ear. "The Queen's eyes are still eyeing behind her. It's better for you and me not to get married so easily. I mean it's not too late to wait until Princess Zhao takes her place."
A trace of displeasure flashed between Chu Zongge's eyebrows and eyes. "Princess Zhao has no children. When will she replace the queen, can't you marry me quickly? I want to have some children to play with me quickly."
Xue ronghua blushed on his cheeks. "What are you thinking about? How did you mention having a baby?"
"What will you do if I don't have children after I get married?" Chu Zongge looked at her crimson cheek and couldn't help kissing, "you can keep your body, otherwise it will hurt to have children in the future."
Xue ronghua pulled at the corner of his clothes and said softly, "let's wait a little longer. I'm a little nervous. I always think something will happen. It's still early. You haven't done anything about the prince. Even if you can't wait for the emperor's consent, you have to do a lot of Kung Fu to make friends with the minister and stand on the same front with you."
"I can't wait any longer. I can't wait any longer," said Chu Zongge in an irresistible tone. "Even if I'm busy, I'll deal with the marriage as soon as possible. I'm afraid you won't be mine later."
"How could it be?" Xue ronghua looked at him in surprise. "How could you say such strange words? Did something happen that made you have no confidence in our marriage?"
"If you can marry me as a wife and give birth to many children for me, that's my greatest confidence in marriage," Chu Zongge said with a slight sigh of relief. "Let's get married in the Imperial Palace at the beginning of spring. When Gu Yu is approaching."
Xue ronghua's eyes flashed a little strange, and a vague voice came out of his throat, "OK, I promise you, I'll marry you right away. If it's faster, maybe I can hit the queen and let her stop in time."
Chu Zongge raised his lips and said with a smile, "then you should be ready. I'm going to give you the biggest wedding in Kyoto's history."
