I blinked.
After a closer look, she was indeed standing at the door, wearing a goose yellow robe. She originally made her skin look as white as jade, but at this time, she was as pale as paper.
Her lips were gone, and she was as frightened as a masterless ghost, looking helplessly at the world of the world that had nothing to do with her.
Look at us.
For a moment, none of us responded.
Then, I saw the pale, almost dry cherry lips pursed slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth. She took a step forward, but Ruizhu immediately followed and helped her, as if she was afraid that she would not be able to hold on to the next moment. Nangong Lizhu gritted her teeth, pushed her away with her hand, and then said with a smile: "I pay homage to the emperor."
This time, I turned around and looked at Pei Yuanhao.
His face suddenly became solemn at this moment, as if the sky suddenly gathered with dark clouds. The hand holding chopsticks and holding vegetables trembled slightly, and finally put it down, then looked up at her: "Zhu'er, why are you here?"
"I am very happy to hear that Miss Yan moved to the place and came to visit her."
After saying that, she raised her head and looked at me, saying, "It's also a thank you for the kindness of the Heart Sutra that night."
This time, Miaoyan sat on the stool and started to move.
She lay on the edge of the table, her back straight, as if she was just waiting for this sentence. When she heard Nangong Lizhu say, she immediately curled her eyes and said, "No need to thank you, no need to thank you."
We were all stunned for a moment.
Miaoyan continued, "Imperial Concubine, I heard them say that your illness has been cured, that's really great. Do you want to come in and have dinner with us!"
“…”
“…”
“…”
When I first saw Nangong Lizhu, I felt something was going to happen, but I never expected that a child would make the scene so awkward. Nangong Lizhu turned her head to look at her, and a million expressions flashed across her face - joy, regret, unwillingness, shame and anger... Each made her face paler a little.
I even think that maybe the next moment, she will fall down.
But, after all, she reluctantly made a little smile: "Your Highness, it's great to see you."
Miaoyan was still going out, but Pei Yuanhao reached out and pressed her shoulder.
"Miaoyan, don't move around, eat well."
Miaoyan looked back at him.
Pei Yuanhao's voice was quite gentle, but once it became serious, it was difficult for people to be casual. Miaoyan originally wanted to act coquettishly, but after looking at him, he swallowed the words and looked at me again. He seemed to feel something, so he could only nod and sit back, but the thin beauty in the yard was still hanging on the corner of his eyes.
Pei Yuanhao turned to look at me again: "You have a good meal too."
“…”
I didn't say anything from beginning to end, let alone anything at this time, just sat there calmly.
Pei Yuanhao looked at me again, then got up and walked out.
The Yihua Palace was very quiet. I could hear his footsteps ringing one after another. I went out of the door, went down the steps, and walked to Nangong Lizhu. Then, his low voice drifted in with the wind.
"Your illness has not yet recovered, why did you come out and go around?"
"I said that I want to come over to see Miss Yan and... Your Highness..."
"There are so many days like this, so I don't care about my body."
"…The Emperor forgives his sins."
"I'm not going to blame you."
...
Speaking of this, both of them stopped.
As soon as I looked up, I saw Miaoyan on the opposite side covering her face with a bowl, sneaking out, then reached out and knocked the back of her hand with chopsticks. She felt pain and looked at me with her mouth pouting. I whispered: "Eat a good meal. After you finish eating, let Susu take you to rinse your mouth and wash your hands. What's this way!"
"oh……"
She felt aggrieved and continued to eat with her chopsticks.
I couldn't stop looking outside.
It was a long time outside that I didn't say anything. When I turned around and saw that Pei Yuanhao was silently looking at the thin and delicate person in front of me with his hands behind his back. Nangong Lizhu stood in front of him with his head down. The wind was not strong, but it blew a thread of her hair and brushed against her pale lips, as if there were thousands of words to say.
However, the two were just silent.
If it were in the past, such a scenery would be considered beautiful, but now, maybe even they themselves feel dry. Pei Yuanhao coughed lightly, as if he was going to say something, but opened his mouth, but said nothing, and closed it again.
Miaoyan looked at me for a while and finally looked at me as if she couldn't help but said: "Mom, they--"
My brow frowned: "Have you finished eating?"
"Eat, it's finished."
"If you finish eating, go wash your hands!"
"But, I..."
She was a little anxious. She looked at the people outside and the bowls that had been eaten by her. Without saying a word, I put down the bowls and chopsticks and stood up, pulled her down, and Su Su, who was serving next to her, hurried over and picked up the copper basin and asked her to wash her hands.
The movement in the room finally alarmed the people outside. Pei Yuanhao and Nangong Lizhu both turned their heads to look at us at the same time. I also looked at them, lowered my head lightly, pressed Miaoyan's small hands in the water and washed them clean, and then wiped them dry with a towel.
At this time, Pei Yuanhao turned to look at Nangong Lizhu: "It's cold outside, and the imperial doctor said, you can't catch a cold."
"emperor……"
"Go back to Yuhua Palace."
“…”
"I'll send you back."
After saying that, he closed his mouth and walked out with his hands behind his back.
Nangong Lizhu was still standing there, as if he was a little at a loss. When he passed by her, a gust of wind blew over her, completely shaking the black hair. Only Ruizhu next to him, with a victorious smile on his face, looked provocatively at us, and then held Nangong Lizhu's arm: "Empress, the emperor is going to send you back in person. Let's go back."
“…”
Nangong Lizhu was supported by her and turned around, but her eyes were still lingering on us.
I wiped my hands with a towel and looked up at her.
They are gone.
Yihua Palace finally calmed down.
I breathed a sigh of relief and let Susu go down with a displeased expression. She sat back to the table by herself. Madam Wu stayed quietly by the side without saying anything. At this time, she walked up carefully: "Girl, do you still want to eat? If you don't eat, you will take it..."
"Don't accept it, I still want to eat it."
"But these things are cold."
"It's okay, the soup is still hot."
I finally got some appetite and asked her to make half a bowl of rice with hot soup. After eating the plate of sour and sour side dishes, it was very refreshing. I couldn't help but eat a few more bites.
Madam Wu stood by and looked at me, and at this time she sighed.
I knew what she meant. I smiled faintly and didn't say anything. After the last bite, I asked her to put away the dishes. But just as I was about to speak, I heard footsteps sounding outside.
