box of hearts

Chapter 119 Drunken Taiping (9)
Seeing that Qi She pampered her like this, Qingtian's depression was swept away, and the smile on his face was bright, "Why do you treat me so obediently?"

Qi She smiled and tapped her eyebrows with the tip of her finger, "Hey, I feel uncomfortable when I think of the sins you have suffered since you were a child. Since you are by my side today, why don't I make up for you? Let you do whatever you want. It's too late, how can you be willing to let you subdue yourself and serve others, and have half a grievance in your heart?"

Seeing that he spoke in a normal way, Qingtian couldn't help being very moved, only Zhaohua was still nearby, but he was too embarrassed to make any overly intimate gestures, so he just smiled lightly and put his hands over Qi She's shoulders, making a gesture of pinch pinch pinch pinch pinch pinch pinch , "Then I will make you wronged. In the future, if you want to relieve your fatigue, I will serve you. I can't serve you better than others. Please forgive me."

Although Zhaohua had turned her eyes away, she couldn't help laughing when she heard this.Qi She also smiled and shot her a glance, "What are you doing, you little thing? Are you just guessing? Go, bring in the golden melon seeds."

Then he asked someone to send two golden lotus pods, played a few rounds of guessing with Qingtian Xiaoyin, and fell asleep slightly drunk.

Since that night, Qi She also believed in the truth, and deliberately distanced herself from Cuiyi a lot, and never saw the initial casual intimacy.While Cuiyi was feeling very frustrated, her grievances towards Qingtian deepened, and she wanted to fight against her even more, so she intensified her flirtatiousness in front of Qi She.One night when Qi was taking a bath, she told this one to go to find Western soap, and that one to get Nanyang steam dew. After a few sentences, she divided the others, and only she went in with a stack of towels. The reflective mirror of the crystal glass wine cabinet brushed her hair, and sipped the pink rouge on her mouth.There was the sound of water coming from behind the curtain, and after a while Cuiyi started giggling, Qi She just kept whispering, "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble." Cuiyi raised her tone: "Don't you still Afraid she won't succeed?" Qi She snorted: "I'm afraid you will succeed, right? Stop messing around."

Qingtian sat far away in the outer room and listened attentively, but did not express anything.Qi She came out of the bath for a long time, and when he glanced at Qingtian, he caught a glimpse of two pink marks on one of his cheeks, facing up and down. Cuiyi followed behind him, with the corners of her mouth raised provocatively, her smile was like a scented flower Ten miles of gardenias.

Qingtian Tian was not surprised, and ordered something to Zhaohua who was seated alone.Zhaohua rolled her eyes in surprise, turned around and went out, and brought back a small bowl in a flash.

"Ma'am, here's the vinegar."

"Vinegar?" Cuiyi was combing Qi She's hair, when she heard the words, she poked her head over and pretended to be joking, "What do you want vinegar for, isn't it that your mother likes to drink vinegar?"

Qingtian didn't answer, just touched a target mirror from the side of the kang, smiled and held it up to Qi She's face, "Look at you, I don't know what's on it."

Qi She glanced at the mirror, only to find the lip marks on her cheeks, raised her hand to rub it, and gave a "tsk" in embarrassment, turned her face to Cuiyi and shouted: "I told you to fool around, this bath is for nothing .”

"Don't worry," Qingtian took off the handkerchief on the loop, dipped it in the vinegar bowl held by Zhaohua, and leaned over gently, "This cheap rouge is the most difficult to wash, it will stick to the skin and hard It hurts to rub it, just wipe it with vinegar. Look, it's clean."

Originally it was Cuiyi who messed around with Qi She by washing her face and body, but Qi She couldn't get along and ignored her, which made Cuiyi quite disappointed at first, but then she changed her mind and got angry with that woman!Only then did he pretend to be proud.How do you know that Qingtian is neither noisy nor disturbing, and only resorts to these tricks, even though Cuiyi has never studied, she can still hear voices behind her words, the word "cheap" alone has stabbed her face to tears My ears were burning, but I couldn't think of a word of rebuttal.

Qi She felt that it would be disrespectful to be in front of Qingtian, and was even more eager to put aside the relationship with Cuiyi, so she simply raised her voice and cursed: "How many times have you been told, and if you continue to mess around like this in the future, go back to the mansion over there, I don't need you like this by my side Nothing big or small."

How could Cuiyi deserve such a severe reprimand, suddenly her breath was throbbing in her chest, and her hands froze.Qingtian still smiled sweetly, "Zhaohua, you come and fix the prince's hair, I see that Cuiyi is panicking today, so don't let her do it."

Zhaohua replied "yes", with disdain for Cuiyi brimming between her brows, she reached out to take the toothbrush in her hand.

Cuiyi's face was red and white, and she looked forward to Qi She again, but saw that he just ignored the vinegar bowl with a smile, "What kind of vinegar is this? It smells strange." Qingtian also snorted, " Just eat and watch." "I'm used to being jealous, so don't provoke me." "Then just eat this bowl and let me see." "You come here first to eat this spot on my face, I'll Just eat this bowl." The two of you came and went, laughing together after a few words.

Cuiyi firmly suppressed the choked tears in her throat, and walked out.

Suppressed by the turmoil in his stomach, he took his turn to sit at night.The maid sat on the floor outside the door of Yiliangxuan as usual, and Cuiyi curled up in her quilt. When the light was turned off inside the door, she heard indistinct voices, laughter, and then The low moan of the woman, the rough panting of the man.

Cuiyi blocked her ears, then pulled the quilt to the top of her head, turned over and over inside the quilt, like an eel in a frying pan.

Xiaoyangchun in October flies by in a blink of an eye, the northwest wind is strong, and the severe cold is approaching.It used to be that Qi She always came to Ruyuan every day after finishing his official duties in the palace. As a result, one day, the eunuch suddenly sent a white box, and people followed him, saying, "Go back to the palace first." He Daotang went back here after reading the folded papers, the road was cold and delayed a lot of time, from now on I asked them to send the folded papers directly here, and if the officials asked for an interview at night, I also asked them to come directly to Ruyuan to post papers." Qing Tian Naturally, he was happy, so he packed up a place in Tianquanshe to work with him.

As a result, Qi She simply didn't go back to the palace, and occasionally he would just hang around at the step-concubine Zhan's when he went back to the mansion. As for the many concubines who wanted to see him, they couldn't even see him.So there was one time when Qi She was playing with cats in Ruyuan and Qingtian, someone came from the palace and reported that the side concubine in the palace was sick, and asked the prince to go back and have a look.Qi She immediately refused: "If you are sick, go to the imperial physician, and I don't know how to treat illnesses, so what's the use of me going to see her?"

Still Qingtian couldn't hear it, and when the people came back, he said aloud to persuade: "Since the side concubine is ill, you should go back and have a look."

Qi She smiled and grabbed Yu by the back of her neck without blinking her eyes, "I still don't know how little she is? Don't you think I'm here with you all day, so why don't you find an excuse to drag me back."

Qingtian glanced at him, "You are too cold-hearted, what if he is really sick?"

"If you are really sick, you can't go. Oh, Concubine Shun is sick today, and Concubine Wan is sick tomorrow. I'll go back to see this one, and I'm too embarrassed not to go that one, right? I have nothing to do for a day, just listen to them It can be dispatched. Don't go, I'm not used to this stinky problem."

"It's better to go back and have a look."

"You don't know Concubine Shun, she won't appreciate it even if I go back, she must be sneering at me, or just keep her face hanging on her face. I'm full to do this thankless thing?"

"Even if you just sit in front of the hospital bed, it's better than ignoring it."

"I said no. Why are you talking so much today?"

Qingtian took the white cat from his arms, loosened his hands and told it to jump onto the blanket on the ground, "What are you and I in a hurry for? I'm not afraid that you want to go and feel embarrassed to leave. I'm not worthy of my status." Why don't you pretend to be virtuous, you don't want to stay with me. Zai Yu, don't touch that brazier, Zai Yu!"

Having had this experience, Concubine Shun, who was unable to invite her illness, was severely humiliated, and the other concubines also heard that even the side concubine was incapable of inviting the prince back to the mansion, and no one went beyond her capacity. It's meaningless to discuss this, so Qi She just cares about pairing up with Qingtian in Ruyuan.Every night, the big copper enamel brazier next to Yi Liangxuan's bed was always burning warmly, so hot that people almost forgot, and the weather outside was getting colder every day.

7.
Today, Qingtian was awakened from his sleep.She rubbed her eyes in a daze, and soon realized that Qi She was dreaming—his body was drenched in cold sweat, his breathing was short of breath, the muscles of his limbs were tense, and there were slight convulsions—this must be an extremely terrifying Dream.

Qingtian rushed to shake him awake, "Third Brother! Third Brother?"

He opened his eyes all of a sudden, even in the deep darkness, Qing Tian also captured the fear that was shining coldly in Qi She's eyes at that moment.He stared at her for a while, then reached out to touch her face, panting and relaxing.She wiped the sweat off his forehead with one hand, and kissed his ear, "What's the matter, what did you dream about?"

He hugged her tightly and buried his face in her neck, "It's nothing, go to sleep."

Later, when Qingtian was used to occasionally comforting Qi She who was startled by nightmares in the middle of the night, she could not ask him what he dreamed for a long time, but she always remembered the first time she witnessed his startled dream. This night, because the next day is "that day"—

The memorial day of the former princess.

She once heard a mention from housekeeper Sun Xiuda that every time the day when the former concubine committed suicide, the prince would observe vegetarianism and sit silently in remembrance. Qingtian didn't know it was this day, because Qi She hadn't returned until the end of the night. At bedtime, the eunuch said that the prince was alone in the Chengguan Pavilion in the west of the garden. She couldn't help feeling a little surprised, so he passed a warm sedan chair to the west to look for it.

In front of Chengguan Pavilion, there were several guards guarding the door, He Wuwei came forward to salute, but he refused to give way, "My lady, don't make things difficult for me, no one can enter this room."

When Qing Tian was hesitating, the eunuch Xiao Xinzi pushed the door open, "My lord, please go inside and talk to me alone."
