Jin Niang realized that there was someone next to her, and immediately raised a smile and said, "Okay, then Mrs. and Miss are walking slowly, I will retire first, and then call me if you need to call me later." ”After saying that, she left in a witty way, and by the way, she gave Xiao Er in the store a look, and asked them all to retreat into the distance, leaving enough space for Duanmu Zheng.Duanmu Zheng familiarly pulled Yue Lingxi to the display case of the cloth, looked at the shuttle for a moment, turned his head and said with a smile: "Although it is only August now, this shop is particular about the process, and it takes a month to make a piece of clothing, so it is just right to order autumn clothes now, you go and pick a few pieces of materials, and I will also help you with the staff officer." ”The cloth in the cabinet is full of color and delicate patterns, all of which are materials such as Shu brocade cloud silk, and at a glance you know that the price is expensive, Yue Lingxi pulled out a piece casually, and the smooth and delicate feel made her fall into memories unconsciously.In the past, the family was poor, and eating was a problem, not to mention making new clothes, but later in Xiyi, Duanmuying treated her as her own daughter, and every year she would pull a few pieces of soft cotton cloth to make new clothes for her and Duanmu Zheng.Later, Duanmuying died of illness, and the lives of the two sisters became poor, and they never bought a decent dress, and embroidered a small pattern on it wherever it was broken, and they could make do with it and wear it for another half a year.Now that the hard days have passed, the degree of food and clothing is different from the past, but she has a feeling of being in a different world."
Sister, I still think the clothes made by my godmother look good."
Duanmu Zheng's heart softened, and he grabbed her hand and joked: "In the past, my mother took care of the two of us, and now I am here to take care of you, my hand with a sword is not as delicate as my mother can do such meticulous needlework, I can only take you to buy ready-made, you don't like it, you don't like it, I don't have any other tricks." ”Yue Lingxi also smiled: "I know, I'll pick it." ”With that, she glanced at all the materials on the cabinet, pointed to the plain satin in the corner and said, "That's it." ”Duanmu Zheng picked it up and looked at the color, praised it well, and said casually: "It's a little similar to the material of the dew lily skirt you usually wear." ”Yue Lingxi was inexplicably stunned.In the gap between the silence of the two, the curtain of the next compartment was suddenly opened, and a young girl came out wearing a hundred butterflies flowing color smoke skirt, with a graceful gait and a graceful posture, just looking at it from the side is already extraordinary, who knew that she gently rotated half a circle, and all the golden butterflies on the skirt seemed to spread their wings and fly, which made her look forward to the flying of the gods, which was so moving that many men who passed by outside the store looked straight at her.The little maid on the side said excitedly: "Miss, you look so good in this!"
”Song Yujiao smiled gently, stroked the gold thread and beads on the cuffs and said: "On weekdays, I am wearing official uniforms outside, and I am afraid that there is no chance to wear this skirt, so let's wrap it up first." ”As she spoke, she went back to the cubicle and changed her skirt, and when she came out again, she was dressed as a female official, with a crimson embroidered heron's official uniform, short shoes with gold trim of the same color, and a round green jade pinned to the middle of the belt.Then she and the maid went to the front desk, and when they talked to the shopkeeper, they were polite and extraordinary, and they seemed to be not only a six-grade female official, but also a noble girl of any family.Yue Lingxi habitually scrutinized these things through her dress, but for a moment, Song Yujiao and the maid had already paid the bill and left, and Duanmu Zheng also asked someone to bring a booklet of skirt styles, and turned it page by page for Yue Lingxi to choose."
How about this waist-pinching thousand-water skirt?"
Yue Lingxi glanced at it and said casually, "It's good." ”"Then this one, you have a thin waist, you must look good in it."
Duanmu Zheng turned his head and called the master in the store, asked her to carefully measure the size of Yue Lingxizai, and then pointed out a few other pieces of equally plain materials, and asked her to make this style together.The sun was about to set, it was almost time for dinner, Yue Lingxi knew that Chu Jun was back and it was inconvenient for Duanmu Zheng to stay outside, so he urged her to go back, Duanmu Zheng did remember Chu Jun's injury, so he hurriedly left after sending her home.Yue Lingxi took out the key from her sleeve and was about to open the door, but found that the lock bar was hanging crookedly on the side, and with a gentle push, the door actually opened like this, she was slightly shocked, and thought that it was a thief at home, so she rushed in to take a look, and suddenly froze on the spot."
Dare to break in like this, you are really getting bolder."
Although the man came up and blamed her for not having a sense of security, but the words were full of warmth, like the scorching sun, Yue Lingxi stared at his eyebrows and body that had not changed at all, as if he had returned to Yanmen Pass, which was thousands of miles away, and he was also wearing this azure brocade robe in the tent that day, and called her over in a low voice.But today he is Your Majesty, the Majesty who is located on the top of the green clouds and looks down on all beings, the Majesty who is wise and martial and cannot be blasphemed, she can no longer walk over with such a big grin, she can only secretly suppress her boiling heart, her knees touch the ground, her hands folded in front of her forehead, and she bows respectfully."
See Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live."
In the evening, there was still residual heat on the bluestone bricks, which burned her calves for a while, but the next moment there was a more scorching touch on her wrist, and she didn't have time to take a closer look, her whole person had been dragged off the ground, and she didn't stand firm and threw herself directly into his arms."
I haven't seen you for a month, not only has Chu Yu improved, but the etiquette is about to catch up with the people in the palace."
Chu Xiang's eyes were slightly gloomy, faintly displeased, but the iron arm was firmly wrapped around Yue Lingxi's waist, and he didn't have the slightest intention of letting go.Yue Lingxi barely raised his head from his arms, he couldn't see his expression, he could only see the resolute outline of his jaw, so he hesitated for a long time before asking, "Why is Your Majesty unhappy?"
Is it because I guessed the identity of His Majesty?
”"It's strange if you can't guess."
Chu Xiang pulled her up with his backhand and walked into the courtyard, and sat side by side on the benches, "Then why is Your Majesty unhappy?"
”Yue Lingxi asked again, a pair of bright eyes stubbornly looked at him, not shy away at all because he was the emperor, Chu Xiang looked back indifferently, as if immersed in the clear spring, driving away the rolling heat wave, cool and comfortable.She's still the same straight her.Withstanding the impulse to reach out and touch her eyebrows, Chu Xiang spit out a few words in a hoarse voice: "Don't call yourself a sinner." ”She nodded, without asking why, she was always so indifferent in matters involving herself, and she didn't care about his emotions as much as she did just now, and this realization made his heart stagnate slightly.Then he quietly looked away, saw her carrying a brand new box in her arms, and asked, "Bought new clothes?"
”"Hmm."
This packaging is too exquisite, at a glance, she knows that she can't afford it, not to mention that she is frugal by nature, and she won't buy such an expensive thing, but Chu Xiang didn't ask much, only took the light brown sandalwood box on the side with one hand, put it in her arms and said, "Coincidentally, I also have a new dress for you." ”Yue Lingxi stared at the Eight Immortals gilt lock embedded in the box and didn't know how to start, just because most of the locks used by Xiyi were simple one-word locks, and she had never seen such a delicate and complicated thing.Chu Xiang seemed to see her trouble, one hand went around from behind and grabbed her left hand, and the other hand held her right hand, and then guided her to pull out the copper sheet of the mezzanine, and pressed the two knobs up and down, the lock opened in response, and the lid of the box bounced up slightly, revealing half of the corner of the clothes.It was a smoky crimson, exactly the same one she saw in the ready-to-wear shop today.Yue Lingxi's heart jumped, and he quickly took out his clothes, and after shaking them off to the bottom, a white-feathered and red-faced bird suddenly appeared in front of him—it was the female official uniform of the fifth grade!
At the same time, Chu Xiang's voice slowly came out from behind, like Lin Laiquan's rhyme, drowning out all her hearing."
I need a lady in front of the court."
Yue Lingxi only felt stiff all over, because of this sentence, and because of this heavy dress that almost made her hands tremble-the woman of that quality in the afternoon was just a sixth-grade female official, how could she afford to wear this fifth-grade official uniform?
She licked her dry lips and tried to refuse: "The female officials in front of the imperial palace have always been selected by the officials from among the female officials above the seventh rank in the court, Your Majesty is like this......
Unruly. ”"You're missing a subject."
Chu Xiang corrected her grammar as usual, "They select, and I decide." ”In other words, he is whoever he wants, and no one else can do it.Yue Lingxi squeezed out a sentence with difficulty: "Your Majesty, I am the queen of the guilty minister." ”"I know."
Chu Xiang stared at her, his eyes shining brightly, "But as long as you are willing, you are my female official." ”This was something that could have been solved in one sentence, and she was not qualified to refuse, but he just sent things to her, and he didn't show the slightest hint of persecution from beginning to end, giving her enough freedom to choose.As long as she's willing......
He rescued her and helped her, he didn't mind her background and entrusted her with important responsibilities, she couldn't repay such a vast grace, how could she be unwilling?
Yue Lingxi lowered his sour eyes, and slowly knelt in front of Chu Xiang with his scarlet official uniform, his lips opened and closed slightly, overflowing a few extremely light and thin words."
Your Majesty, I do."
It's just that Yue Lingxi has never dressed like this, and when he left the palace gate, he couldn't help but want to cover up, and he didn't feel better until he boarded the carriage and was blocked by the curtain.The other person in the car was not so good.Chu Xiang stared at her delicate and moving dress, and his eyes gradually became hotter, especially when he moved to the lone flower in the continuous snow sea, it was almost burning.She is used to seeing her face to the sky, but she doesn't know that she can also charm her soul with a light sweep of moth eyebrows."
Your Majesty?"
Yue Lingxi saw that he had been staring at him, his heart became uneasy, and he subconsciously touched the lotus flower, but he grabbed it as soon as his hand was halfway raised, and the fine sweat in his palm stained her wrist, which was hot and moist."
Now that you've finished drawing, what are you going to touch?""
Your Majesty said that the fashionable style of the Chu State......
It doesn't seem to be for me. ”Yue Lingxi lowered his head slightly, a trace of inferiority flashed on his face, just because such a cover was undoubtedly futile in front of a person like Chu Xiang who knew the roots, but he just stared at her with burning eyes, and said softly: "This is very good." ”That ugly tattoo wasn't supposed to be on her in the first place.Yue Lingxi only thought he was comforting himself, was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly have the interest to go boating on the lake today?"
”"It's not me."
Chu Xiang hooked his lips and smiled, and slowly spit out three words, "It's King Ning." ”King Ning?
This name is too familiar to her to be familiar anymore, is it finally going to meet the deity today?
In this way, Duanmu Zheng is also very likely to go, this conjecture suddenly made Yue Lingxi forget the trouble caused by the dress, and began to look forward to this trip to the lake.But......
Duanmu Zheng won't be furious when he sees her, right?
The answer is yes.After the four of them met at the ferry, Yue Lingxi bowed to the couple one by one, and as soon as he straightened up, he met Duanmu Zheng's gaze, which was mixed with various emotions such as anger, nervousness, and anxiety, but it was just that Chu Xiang and Chu Jun were still present, and it was not easy to vent out.Also, she left a letter and disappeared, and she didn't get angry to have a ghost.Yue Lingxi retreated behind Chu Xiang to block the compelling gaze, Duanmu Zheng suddenly felt angry and funny, but he couldn't say her in front of Chu Xiang and Chu Jun, so he had to rub the corners of his forehead helplessly."
What's wrong, uncomfortable?"
The big palm around her waist tightened, she raised her face, and smiled gently at Chu Jun: "It's okay, it's just that the wind by the lake is a little strong." ”Chu Jun immediately said to Chu Xiang: "Brother Huang, let's get on the boat." ”Chu Xiang bowed his head happily and took the lead in stepping on the slender trestle bridge, Chu Jun and his wife followed closely behind, a cool breeze blew from the center of the lake, blowing ripples in the cherry blossom dress, the figures of the two became closer and closer, Yue Lingxi, who was walking at the end, silently watched this scene, and couldn't help but have a little good impression of Chu Jun.Although he looked indifferent and unsmiling, he was really not a master who was easy to get along with, but his attitude towards Duanmu Zheng was extremely soft, he would care about whether she was comfortable or not, and he would also help her to block the wind and stroke her skirt, even Yue Lingxi, an outsider, seemed considerate, no wonder Duanmu Zheng would follow him with all his heart.In this way, she can put her mind at ease for a while.After getting on the boat, the two men set up fishing rods at the bow of the boat, ready to show their skills on this endless lake, Yue Lingxi waited beside them, handed them bait and nets from time to time, but they were not idle, fortunately, the weather was cool, and there was a breeze as a companion, and the body was always refreshing.Soon, the boat slid into a narrow waterway, and between the long oars, a large piece of pink green climbed onto the side of the boat, dripping with dew, shaking off the clear waves, so crystal clear that people could not take their eyes off it, and a few waterfowl stayed on it for a short time, and when the sound of people approached, they all fluttered their wings and flew into the depths of the lotus flowers.
