Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 343

On the second day, Zhao Xiwei woke up amidst the fragrance of oranges in the room.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw that the blue glazed fruit plate on the table was full of bright yellow oranges.

To be precise, it was peeled off, the white orange veins were torn off, petal by petal, and piled neatly into a hill.

Which little girl is so boring!
Peeling so many oranges at once is a waste of time!

She lifted the quilt, and before she got up, the figure outside the curtain moved slightly, and Li Xuanye had already stepped inside.

"woke up?"

"Hmm..." Zhao Xiwei replied while wrapped in a quilt.

He put the bowl in his hand on the table, touched her forehead, and said softly: "He's recovering well, too much sleep is not good for the body, why don't you get up and wash now?"

Zhao Xiwei's eyes fell on him.

He was wearing a tea-white shirt, which was clear and refreshing, like the fine snow on the top of a distant mountain.The sleeves were rolled up loosely, revealing half of the forearm with smooth lines. It didn't look like His Royal Highness who was busy with government affairs, but rather a wealthy prince who was at home with nothing to do.

"Okay!" She bent her lips and smiled, and then she got out of the quilt and fell into his arms.

"Your Highness, let's call the maids in to serve..." Zhao Xiwei sat on the bed, watched him squatting on the ground to put on shoes and socks for himself, and put his toes back, "Aren't you busy today?"

At this hour in the past, he was either in the palace or in the study, why is he so free today?

Li Xuanye grabbed her ankle with one hand, and gently put the silk socks on, saying: "There is nothing important in the court today, and the rest of the trivial papers, I told them to pass them to the Zichen Palace."

"Oh..." Zhao Xiwei felt a little embarrassed when he heard it.

The emperor suffers from dizziness and heartache, and Li Xuanye has always been in charge of political affairs.

When she fell ill, Li Xuanye pushed all the papers to the emperor, not knowing what the emperor would think.

……

After dressing, Yinbao came in with hot water.

Li Xuanye took the brocade scarf from her hand, soaked it in water and wrung it dry, and stretched out his hand to wipe Zhao Xi's face slightly.

In front of the servant girl, Zhao Xiwei subconsciously hid: "I'll do it myself!"

Li Xuanye raised his arm, holding her face without any explanation, with reason and evidence: "The wound is not healed yet, I have been taking care of it by myself these few days!"

"Well..." The warm brocade was covered, and Zhao Xiwei's words were all reduced to one vague word.

Yin Bao blushed, and hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to take another look.

He sighed in his heart, before, Jinxiu was the one who waited close to him, but this time the young lady had an accident, and Jinxiu also disappeared...

Although His Royal Highness has sent guards to look for it, but this night has passed, and he still hasn't found it yet...

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She shook her head, and her eyes suddenly fell on the plate of oranges.

Suddenly, he remembered something again, and said cautiously: "Miss, Master Xiang is still waiting outside the door, now that you are awake, servant girl, go and tell him?"

"He hasn't left yet?" Zhao Xiwei raised his head in astonishment.

"No." Yin Bao shook his head, "From last night to now, he has been guarding outside the hall, even if the servant gave him a cloak, he refused to take it."

Zhao Xi was taken aback for a moment: "What is he doing here?"

"I want to see you!" Yin Bao sighed, "You refused to see him, and he just sat there peeling oranges all night."

As he said that, he couldn't bear it: "Why don't you let him come in and say something? Then a large basket of fresh Huainan oranges has been carefully peeled and shredded... I'm afraid they are all peeled now. !"

tangerinr……

Zhao Xiwei pressed Li Xuanye's hand to wipe his face, jumped off the bed, and hurried towards the door.

"Miss..." Yin Bao exclaimed, and was about to catch up, but saw His Royal Highness raised his palm: "It's okay, you step back."

"Yes."

Zhao Xiwei held a deep breath in her heart, she couldn't tell what kind of emotion this was, she only knew that she was very uncomfortable now.

She didn't even care to wipe off the water on her face, she even forgot to put on her shoes, she only wore a pair of white socks, and walked to the entrance of the hall as if flying, but her footsteps stopped suddenly.

The sky was dim, and the drizzle was like silk. Through the misty water mist, a wheelchair was slowly turning in front of the hall, and it was rolling towards the white jade road at the entrance of the palace.

The person in the wheelchair had a bent back, messy hair, and wrinkled clothes.It seems that he has aged a lot overnight.

As the cold wind blows, the yellow orange peels are like a field of withered yellow leaves, desolate, lonely and lonely.

The cold air spread along the soles of the feet and spread to the whole body, Zhao Xiwei regained consciousness in an instant.

She hurriedly turned her eyes away, but met Li Xuanye's gaze again.

He stood in the center of the hall with his hands behind his back, looking at her silently.

As if exposing her most embarrassing and most secret thoughts to his eyes, she turned her head away as if fleeing.

But from this side, I saw the plate of oranges on the table again.

The originally tense emotions suddenly turned upside down.

At this moment, she stood where she was, feeling a little at a loss.

Just when he was at a loss, His Royal Highness's deep and powerful voice sounded: "Zhao Xiwei."

He stretched out his arms and called to her: "It's cold at the door, come here quickly."

"Come here quickly..."

She lifted the hem of her skirt, walked in front of him with slightly chaotic steps, and threw herself into his arms like a bird.

"Li Xuanye..." She hugged him tightly, her voice choked up: "He is really... really..."

After choking for several times, he finally said a complete sentence: "He is really naive!"

Li Xuanye didn't speak, but gently stroked her back with his palm, hoping to calm her down.

But she became more and more sad, unable to speak in tune: "Who cares about his oranges? The East Palace is so big, is there a shortage of these oranges?"

In the end, the speed of speech became faster and faster: "As a princess, am I in need of someone who peels oranges? Is he standing outside peeling oranges all night to let everyone in the world know that I am a ruthless woman? he……"

"Li Xuanye..." She lay in his arms, her breathing messy, "Do you know what he told me?"

Li Xuanye picked her up and put her on the bed, half-bent down, touched her face, and asked, "What did he say?"

Her breath was still stuck in her throat, and her voice was low, with a sadness that was about to cry, which was very pitiful.

"He said, I was dazzled by pampering..."

"He said, he wants me to be ruthless like a man, he wants me to be ruthless like a man..."

"He said, he wants me not to be confused by love like a man, and wants me to control my own destiny..."

"He also said that you will open the Sixth Palace in the future..."

The words stopped abruptly.

Li Xuanye listened silently, until the last sentence, when the fingers touching her face suddenly stopped: "What is Guangkai Liugong?"

After Zhao Xiwei finished talking, the turbulent emotions subsided, and only then did he notice the coldness around His Highness the Crown Prince.

"I..." She shrank subconsciously.
