Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

The smile on my face was like a pool of standing water, saying, "Thank you for your congratulations."

He glanced at me and only smiled.

After a while, the food and drinks were ready. I thought that he said it ’s better to run into each other. It ’s just a kind word to sit down and talk about something. After all, he just invited the guests on it. He should not be able to eat anything. Who knows the food and drinks come up? He really ate with us, and it seemed that he had never eaten at all.

The wine and dishes brought by the boss are naturally good things. Three sets of duck, sunflower crab meatballs, and bayonet saury. Each one is full of color and fragrance. There is also a bowl of Wensi tofu tincture, which is extremely delicate. The shredded tofu is gently rippling in the soup, like a cloud of mist, as if there are hundreds of thousands of thoughts in it.

Qing Han took a spoonful and praised him.

Pei Yuanxiu smiled and said to me, "You also drink a bowl of soup, warm it."

I shook my head, he looked at my face carefully, and said softly, "What's the matter? I don't think you're very comfortable?"

I said gently: "It seemed like I had a cold last night and my stomach was uncomfortable."

"Then I'll take you to see the doctor."

"No." I shook my head and smiled gently. "It's just a small matter. Just drink some shochu and keep warm."

As soon as he heard it, he immediately ordered to go down. Soon the shop brought a pot of warm wine. It was steamed wine of acacia flowers. The scent was overflowing. I took a sip of hot, shochu from the throat all the way Rushing down, I almost shed tears for a while, as if a flame had been put in my body, burning my internal organs.

He hurriedly asked, "How's it? Is it better?"

I couldn't help but smile a little.

It's not the old monarch's elixir. It took effect so soon, but the feeling of being burned made me feel better. Looking at his appearance, it is probably also concerned about it, and then nodded with a smile: Now. "

"Then you drink some more, and if you are comfortable, eat something light."

"I know, don't patronize me, eat yours."

He promised and watched me take another sip of wine before turning his head to continue to eat his own food, and when I held the wine glass, I heard a dinging across.

Looking up, the spoon in Qing Han's hand touched the edge of the bowl.

He also looked up at us. The expression on his face was still bewildered that he hadn't seen since his reunion. My heart trembled and he put down his glass: "What happened to Master Liu?"

"..."

It seemed as though he didn't hear me, and he just sat down.

Pei Yuanxiu and I looked at each other, and Pei Yuanxiu looked back again and asked, "Master Liu?"

This time, it was as if he was suddenly awakened, and he suddenly raised his head to look at us, but his eyes were still a little stunned: "Ah?"

"What happened to Master Liu?"

"You don't look well."

He looked at me, looked at Pei Yuanxiu, and then looked at me again.

Pei Yuanxiu also glanced at me and looked at him again, and asked with a smile: "Master Liu is not well?"

He frowned, shook his head, as if feeling himself, then said: "Maybe-I have been busy with business recently, and I'm tired." He said, rubbing the bridge of his nose, then raised his head to look We laughed: "I'm laughing."

"Where. Lord Liu is so hard, it is the blessing of the people."

"My son must make fun of me."

He said, and looked at us again, then said: "My official suddenly remembered that there were still some things in the house that had not been dealt with, so he left first."

When Pei Yuanxiu heard it, he didn't keep him. He just stood up and Liu Qinghan was already gazing at us: "No work for two people. Goodbye."

"Lord Liu walk slowly."

I didn't move in the seat, and I watched his figure disappear at the stairs, and his footsteps also disappeared slowly. Pei Yuanxiu didn't say much, just sat back to me and watched I glanced softly, "Drink a little more and eat."

"Ok."

I nodded, picked up the glass of wine on the table, and drank it.

.

The next time, neither he nor I spoke again. There was only the sound of bowls and chopsticks, but the traffic and downstairs downstairs, plus the soft and waxy singing of the singing girls, were not silent.

After eating, he asked me, "What do you think of wine?"

"It's better than us."

"Then I--"

"In my opinion, don't order a banquet. It's inconvenient and tiring. It's better to ask the boss to pack the restaurant for a day and take the chef directly. It's easy and unpopular."

He laughed, "It's your carefulness. That's fine."

"Well." I nodded. "I still want to sit and pick me up when you're done."

"it is good."

He got up, and gave me a restless look at me. I smiled at him to show that he was not inconvenienced, so he went downstairs with confidence.

As soon as his figure disappeared at the stairs, the smile on my face slowly faded.

Perhaps, for another moment, even for a moment, my smile can no longer persist.

Opposite that person, even if only his breath is enough to defeat all my peace, not to mention, seeing his pale face, tired expression-I know, these have nothing to do with me, there are others, More qualified to distress him than I am.

I just ... distressed.

I sat silently at the table, looking at the scenery outside, listening to those noisy sounds that seemed to come from far away, and poured a glass of already slightly cold wine, took a sip of light, the hot feeling Instead, I made myself feel better, but when I still wanted to drink, I found that the wine was finished.

Hesitating, should you let the store deliver another pot, just then, there was a sound of footsteps downstairs.

Did Pei Yuanxiu deal with it so quickly, come back to pick me up?

I made a little smile and was about to get up to meet him, but I saw a thin figure slowly walked up, a dark blue robe, which is not as good as Pei Yuanxiu's white elegance, but it shows a strange lowness ?

As soon as I saw that thin voice, my footsteps stopped.

As soon as he went upstairs, he immediately saw me standing there, and he stunned, "Mrs. is still here?"

I looked at him and didn't speak for a while. Only when he approached step by step did I say something difficult: "You, what do you do when you come back?"

Is he ...

Before I had time to "think wildly" in my heart, I saw him turn his head to look at the table, and immediately smiled, reached out and picked up something from the tea cup in the place where he had just sat, muttering: "Fortunately still."

Just a flash, but I also saw it clearly, it was a jade jade.

He picked it up and put it on his thumb, then squeezed it in his palm, looked up at me, and smiled: "I laughed, it just dropped."

I also smiled: "Adult is a careful person, how can he forget things?"

"Maybe it was a little uncomfortable just now, negligent."

I smiled and looked at his mask covering almost half of his face: "Is the adult better now?"

"Thank you, Madam, for your care."

"Adults should rest more. It's not too far away on the second and third of March. Adults have to host such a large feast. If the body is weak, what can be done well?"

He glanced at me, his face changed a bit, like turning to go, but taking a step, after all, he seemed to be a little hesitant, turned and looked at me.

I also looked at him.

For a moment, he didn't speak, and I didn't make a sound, and the two looked at each other so calmly.

Perhaps, facing each other.

All around quieted down.

In fact, downstairs, it's still very noisy, people come and go, people sing and sing, sing and sing, and hawkers, so many voices come here, but they seem to be the voice of another world. Nothing can penetrate us at all.

I looked at those half masks and never felt that the winter in Jiangnan was so cold.

He frowned a little unconsciously, and walked over slowly, my heartbeat also sank with his footsteps, almost following my suffocating oppression.

He walked up to me and looked down at me.

At such a close distance, I also looked at him and saw his mask clearly, and it was simply and coldly clasped on his face. Although it was worthy of covering his ridiculous scars, it did not make people feel good. On the contrary, the cold temperature had almost penetrated out of the mask, and had penetrated into people's hearts.

He was silent for a while, and said, "Mrs. Infant, it's a bit out of place to know this question, but-what's the relationship with you?"

"..."

I couldn't speak, the boiling voice downstairs seemed to pierce into my ear like a needle at this moment, and there was noisy and noisy in my head, and I couldn't hear anything.

Only the sound of my breathing, echoed dry in my ears.

His face, and that mask, are strange ...

He looked at me stubbornly, but a little eagerly, and said in a low voice: "Madam! Since you know each other, why don't you recognize them?"

His voice is so strange ...

"Last time, I asked a lot of people around you. They were all old friends, but they didn't know the wife. When did the wife know him?"

He is so strange ...

"Madam, who are you?"

"..."

I kept watching him silently, without speaking, when I heard him ask this, I looked up and smiled.

He froze and fixedly looked at me.

"Does Master Liu want to know your relationship with me so much?"

"Mrs. please make it clear."

"It's easy to say, I don't have much dispute with Master Liu, except that there are some disputes over debt."

"Debt ... dispute?" He looked at me with wide eyes, surprised, and smiled at him: "I'm your creditor."

"Creditor?"

"Correct."

I nodded and looked at his surprised expression: "I'm an adult's creditor, but my adult forgets everything."

He glanced at me, silent for a moment, and seemed to be thinking about how to deal with me next, and immediately bowed to me: "I'm rude."

I smiled.

"Since the wife is the creditor, what do you owe the wife? Is it money?"

money?

Ha ha, yeah, if the relationship between men and women really only ends up like this, it would be better, simple, clean and innocent.

It is a pity that there is really no way for me and you to count money.

I smiled and said, "Adults don't have to worry too much. I didn't urge the adults to pay back, so it doesn't matter."

"that--"

"However, I still have to pay it back."

He listened to my ambiguity, and even some inexplicable words, a little helpless, but in the end he was an official, and soon restored the usual calm, watching my eyes showed a little alienation-an official Of course, naturally, he will not let himself be completely passive and underhanded under any circumstances. Even when he and Pei Yuanxiu were at the side of Wangjiang Pavilion, he could feel his caution and inferiority. Now, such a move by me makes him stand up The thorns on the body were not only the eyes, but even the half-intact face revealed the same coolness as the mask.

It seems that he is an official and not badly learned.

I ... don't need to worry anymore.

He asked, "Mrs. What else do you want to say, let's make it clear."

I smiled, turned and walked towards the stairs. He followed, and said a little displeasedly, "Madam?"

I was ready to go downstairs, but after the next step, I stopped again, raised my head and looked at him with one hand, and said, "Master, rest assured, the debt between you and me, before the Qianyan feast, I I'll ask the adults to recover. "

"..."

Seeing him standing there, he frowned slightly at me, and I glanced at the jade jade in his hand and walked away.
