"Do you know this is a forbidden area?" Xiao Jing's voice suddenly turned cold, and Chuyao knew that this was a sign that he was going to be angry. She really didn't notice that this was a forbidden area when she entered this place.
"The courtier was attracted by the fragrance of flowers, and unknowingly strayed into the forbidden area. I hope the emperor will forgive me." Chu Yao lowered her original voice by two points, so that Xiao would not recognize her voice.
Xiao Jing looked at the person kneeling on the ground with a sullen face. Her hair was tied up high, revealing her ears wearing emerald jade earrings. The ears were beautiful and familiar.
His face changed, and he said to her: "Get up, raise your face for me to see."
Chuyao's shoulders stiffened, and she stood up slowly. Sooner or later, she will have to face this hurdle, but now she just faced it earlier, and she must remain calm.
After Chuyao got up, she slowly raised her face, but her eyes were still lowered, and the palace rules did not allow her to look directly at the emperor, so it was understandable for her to do so.
Xiao actually stared at her face for a while, and said, "Raise your eyes."
"My daughter dare not." Chu Yao said in panic.
"I forgive you for your innocence, raise your eyes." Xiao Jing persisted, not knowing why he always felt a sense of familiarity.
Chuyao raised her eyes and looked at him with panic in her eyes. She concealed the indifference in her own eyes to prevent Xiao Jing from recognizing him. After all, he knew about the fact that there were leather masks in the world.
After Xiao actually met her eyes, the expression on his face changed back to the coldness before.
Heh, how could it be her, she was already in Li Guo's palace and had officially become his enemy, so how could she appear here.
Seeing the expression on his face, Chuyao knew that he had concealed it, and felt a little relieved. But don't be careless, Luo Shuyan can doubt for so long, let alone Xiao Jing's suspicion is even heavier.
Xiao Jing remained silent, and it was hard for her to leave, so the two stood opposite each other.
A gust of wind blew, and the flowers on the crabapple tree fell a little, and landed on Chuyao's shoulder.
"Which family are you the daughter of?" Xiao Jing raised her hand and brushed off the pink petals on her shoulders, and asked casually.
Chu Yao lowered his eyebrows, and his voice was a little shy: "Xia Yihuan, the daughter of the prefect of Jiangling."
"Yi Huan." Xiao Jing read these two words in a low voice, retracted the back of his hand and behind him, and said, "It's a very good name, let's go down."
Chuyao blessed Fushen, took two steps back, bypassed him and left, feeling relieved immediately, Xiao Jing's voice came from behind before any of them had gone far, and she shook the hand hidden in her sleeve again. Clenched tightly, the palms were already sweating.
As Xiao Jing approached her step by step from behind, her heart became more and more lifted. He Ling once recognized her back in the dark, so she deliberately lost weight in the past two months to make her body more comfortable. The shape looks thinner and changed.
However, she was really not sure whether this slight change could be hidden from Xiao Jing's eyes.
Xiao Jing's footsteps were getting closer and closer, Chuyao's palms were already wet with sweat, she turned around slowly with a slightly stiff body, and saw Xiao Jing stopped in front of her, reaching out to pass the jade earrings in her hand.
It turned out that she accidentally dropped an earring just now, and Chu Yao raised her hand to take it from him.
At this time, Xiao Jing grabbed her hand, and Chuyao wanted to take it back in panic, but Xiao Jing held her hand and turned her palm over. Chuyao knew that he might be looking for the scar on the tiger's mouth, but she had already dealt with it, and there was no trace of the past on her hand now.
Without seeing the familiar scar, Xiao actually let go of her hand, the expression on his face became a little bit colder, he looked up at her, and said, "Your hands are cold, are you so afraid of me?"
Chu Yao shook his head.
"The palms are sweaty, and you still say you're not afraid? You should know what a crime it is to bully the emperor." Xiao Jing took a step into her, looked down at her and said. Except for the outline of the ears, whether it is face, body shape or smell, this woman is not the same as Song Chuyao, but he has an inexplicable feeling that he wants to talk to her.
"The courtier is not afraid of the emperor, but nervous." Chu Yao lowered his eyebrows.
"What are you nervous about?"
"Because the emperor may be the future husband of my courtiers, which woman will not be nervous when she sees her future husband." Chu Yao said softly, with a little shyness in her voice.
"Do you think you will definitely be given a flower to stay in the palace?" Xiao Jing became a little interested.
"I dare not think so, but I have heard a legend." Chu Yao lowered her eyes, and her eyes only saw Xiao Jing's waist.
Xiao actually motioned for her to continue with silence.
"It is said that on the Flower God Festival, the men and women who meet under the red begonia flower tree have a destined fate." Chu Yao paused, and then said: "In the huge imperial garden, only the minister just nowThere is a red crabapple where the girl and the emperor stand. "
Begonia is the national flower of Yan State, so many kinds of Begonias are planted in the Royal Garden, but the red Begonia is the queen of flowers, so only one plant is planted. Generally, wealthy families in Yan State will plant Begonia flower trees. The hostess only planted one red crabapple, and the rest were regarded as embellishments. So when a man with a wife meets another woman unexpectedly under the red begonia tree, it is the mistress of this family who agrees with the saying that the husband takes a concubine.
Of course, this statement came from the mouths of folk romantic scholars, which is completely nonsense. The so-called romance of meeting is just an excuse for the scholar to take a concubine.
"I hope what you think will come true." Xiao Jing's cold and resolute face showed a slight expression, and the corners of his mouth raised a little: "Go down."
Chuyao blessed her body again, and retreated unhurriedly. This time she walked out of the begonia forest smoothly and blended in among many beautiful girls.
Fu Yunyan has already returned to the distance, and his face is not very good. Chuyao walked over and asked concerned: "What's wrong?"
"Wu Yingjie wants to take refuge with me, maybe because she saw that the Queen has a different attitude towards me." Fu Yunyan responded casually, staring straight at Chuyao, and said, "What about you? Where did you go just now? Why didn't you?" see."
The Wu Yingjie that Fu Yunyan was talking about was the beautiful girl who was looking for her just now, probably because she saw that Fu Yunyan might be more powerful than Gu Qiluo, so she came to flatter her.
Naturally, Chuyao couldn't tell her about meeting Xiao Jing in the forest, but said: "I went for a walk in the forest and almost lost my way, so I just came out now."
"Really?" Fu Yunyan's sentence was very light, so light that it made people feel that it was blurted out unconsciously, rather than really asking for proof.
Chuyao didn't care, Fengzheng was about to drive away, and the show girls began to line up one after another, and Chuyao also walked over.
Fu Yunyan took a step slower, looking at Chuyao's back, his black pupils were a little dark.
In fact, after she finished talking with Wu Yingjie just now, she wandered around the courtyard. She saw Chuyao and Xiao Jing talking from a distance, but Chuyao deliberately concealed it just now.
Every beautiful girl enters the palace to become a phoenix. She thought that Chuyao was different, but she didn't expect that she had misjudged the person. The way Chuyao treated Xiao Jing just now was more of a refusal to welcome, deliberately arousing Xiao Jing's interest.
The panic she showed in front of Xiao Jing was completely different from her usual self. How deep did she hide herself.
Fu Yunyan calmed down and walked around to arrange her seats. After everyone presented the kite respectfully, Li Ruifang led them back to the Qinghuan Palace. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
