Kite falling into red dust

For several days in a row, every night Luo Hongyuan would sneak out of the palace with Baili Wenxiu to play for an hour or two.Having grown up so big, Baili Wenxiu, who has almost never left the palace, was immediately fascinated by the colorful world outside.He begged Luo Hongyuan, hoping to spend more time playing outside the palace every day, and he even hoped to be able to go out during the day, see the scenery that can't be seen at night, play with things that can't be played at night Something, try something you can't eat at night.

Luo Hongyuan shook her head, wondering: "The servant is a member of the imperial dining room, and there are countless things to do during the day, so there is no way to meet you. If the servant is serving by your side, naturally there will be more Time to play with you."

Baili Wenxiu bit her nails and thought for a while, then suddenly exclaimed excitedly: "I figured out what to do!" After saying that, she ran away in a hurry.

This afternoon, Luo Hongyuan was busy preparing the dinners for the palaces with others in the imperial dining room, when suddenly someone outside shouted: "The king is here!"

A group of people hurriedly stopped their work and knelt down in unison.

Immediately afterwards, a man in a purple-gold brocade robe walked in slowly.Because the room was filled with a cloud of smoky oily smoke, he didn't go any further, but stood still at the door.

This person is about fifty years old, tall and tall, with a slightly square face, a sparse beard on his chin and lips, and a pair of deep dark brown pupils under his thick black eyebrows. The two are similar, although they are dignified and majestic, and have an extraordinary bearing, but they are not cold at all, but reveal a sense of gentleness and kindness.

"He should be Baili Shiyao." Luo Hongyuan said in her heart.

The man glanced at the people in the room, and said calmly, "Which one is Xie Chunying?"

Luo Hongyuan hurriedly said: "My servant, Xie Chunying, pays homage to Your Majesty."

Baili Shiyao glanced at him and said, "Come here."

He stood up, walked to him with his head down, and knelt down.

Baili Shiyao said: "How old are you?"

Luo Hongyuan said: "This slave is 17 years old."

Baili Shiyao turned his gaze to Master Li, and said, "She is from your imperial dining room. Tell me, what is she like? Are her hands and feet quick? Does she have any bad habits?"

Master Li said: "Returning to Your Majesty, Chunying is usually very hardworking and smart, and can do well in everything. She is also humble and kind, and has never argued with others."

Baili Shiyao glanced at Luo Hongyuan again, he hastily lowered his dark face even lower.Baili Shiyao said as he walked out, "From now on, Xie Chunying will be transferred to Yixiang Palace to take care of Wenxiu's food and living."

As soon as they met, Baili Wenxiu hugged him, raised her face, looked at him with blinking eyes, and said, "Sister Chunying! Now, we can play together every day!"

Luo Hongyuan turned her head and took a look, and found that Concubine Shen Gui was looking at them with a smile on the side, so she quickly explained: "When the servants were working in the imperial dining room, Mr. Wenxiu often went to get snacks. .”

Baili Wenxiu hurriedly jumped up and covered his mouth, and said, "Didn't you agree that you won't tell your concubine mother?" Shen Guifei stretched out her hand, pinched his face, and said, "You think I'm not Do you know, you sneak out of Yixiang Palace every night? I just didn't point out you."

Baili Wenxiu lowered her head, "I know I was wrong." Concubine Shen touched his hair with a smile, and said: "It's good to know your mistake, don't do it again in the future, if you do it again, I will punish you. She looked up at Luo Hongyuan, and said: "You guys play, I'm tired, I'm going to rest for a while."

"Mother and concubine, go slowly!" Baili Wenxiu said happily.Concubine Shen Gui shook her head helplessly and pamperingly, turned around and returned to the house with the help of the maid.

Baili Wenxiu hugged Luo Hongyuan's arm, looked at him expectantly, and said, "Where are we going to play?" "Play, you just want to play!" Luo Hongyuan poked his forehead with her finger , "Have you finished reading all the books you should read?"

Baili Wenxiu immediately replied: "I've finished reading, I'll finish reading this morning!"

Luo Hongyuan leaned down and approached him, and said in a low voice, "If we go out at this time, we won't be discovered, right?"

Baili Wenxiu frowned suddenly, and said, "Sister Chunying, you look so ugly, you better wash your face to look better."

Luo Hongyuan smiled faintly, and said, "Okay, I'll wash my face, and then I'll take you to play."

Turning around, Luo Hongyuan couldn't help sighing.In a flash, he has been in the palace for almost two months, and if you add the time spent recuperating at Baili Chunfeng, it has been almost four months.In other words, in Murong Mingyu's heart, he had been dead for four months.Unexpectedly, he would make Murong Mingyu experience the feeling of losing him twice in succession.

He raised his head, looked at the blue sky, and murmured: "The agreed three-month agreement has not been completed yet, I wonder how he is doing now?"

After five days.

Under the shade of the tree, Luo Hongyuan held a bamboo flute in her hand, and played an ethereal and quiet piece of music.Baili Wenxiu stood opposite him, shaking his head to the music, reciting an ancient prose: "If you don't honor the virtuous, the people won't fight. If you don't value hard-to-find things, you won't steal them. If you don't see what you want, you can keep the people's hearts from being disturbed." ..."

Baili Shiyao heard the sound of reading aloud from a distance, accompanied by the clear sound of flute.He smiled gratifiedly, and said, "Wenxiu has really improved!" As he spoke, he followed the sound of reading and walked over.

Under the shade of the trees, Baili Wenxiu was reciting very seriously with a smile on her face.Beside him, stood a court lady holding a bamboo flute, playing it intently.She was tall and slender, wearing a peach-pink palace attire, a thin layer of makeup was applied on her snow-white face, two faint blushes on the sides of her cheeks, but her lips were spotless and red, tender and attractive like cherry blossoms.

Baili Shiyao was stunned. When did the palace have such a beautiful and elegant lady?

Just when he was in a daze, Baili Wenxiu suddenly turned his head and saw him, and immediately called out loudly: "Father!" The maid also put down the bamboo flute and bowed to him.

"Excuse me." He walked over, patted Baili Wenxiu's head, and said approvingly, "I just heard the sound of your endorsement. When did you learn to use this method to endorse?"

Baili Wenxiu pointed at Luo Hongyuan proudly, and said, "Sister Chunying taught me the lesson. She said that memorizing the memorization will not be so boring. How about my father, did I memorize it well just now?" Well, you recited it very well." Baili Shiyao praised with a smile, then suddenly raised his head to look at Luo Hongyuan, "Are you the Xie Chunying who was transferred from the Imperial Dining Room?"

Luo Hongyuan lowered her head and replied, "Yes."

Baili Shiyao looked at the bamboo flute in his hand, "You know how to play flute?"

Luo Hongyuan said: "I don't dare to say yes, I just learned a few tunes."

Baili Shiyao walked up to him, reached for the bamboo flute in his hand, looked at it carefully, and said, "It doesn't look like something in the palace."

Luo Hongyuan said: "This is done by the servants themselves."

"You made it yourself?" Baili Shiyao played with the bamboo flute in his hand, and a smile of unknown meaning suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Father!" Baili Wenxiu said coquettishly suddenly, "Why do you keep talking to Sister Chunying? You ignore Erchen!" Baili Shiyao rubbed his head with a smile, and said, "Let's go." , go into the house and let Father check how your homework is doing."

After checking her homework, it was time for Baili Wenxiu to take a nap.Baili Shiyao covered him with a quilt, then turned and left the room.

But Luo Hongyuan was sitting in the veranda, mending a piece of clothing with a needle and thread in her hand.

Baili Shiyao walked quietly behind him and took a closer look, it turned out to be a woman's bellyband.Baili Shiyao was taken aback, he didn't want to peek at the woman's underwear, so he turned around quickly.

However, Luo Hongyuan found him and immediately got up and said, "My lord!"

He turned his head and saw that Luo Hongyuan was still holding the red apron in her hand, her head was slightly lowered, but her bright red cheeks matched the apron.

As if sensing his gaze, Luo Hongyuan hurriedly hid her bellyband behind her back, and said shyly, "Is Mr. Wenxiu asleep?"

Baili Shiyao said: "Sleeping."

Luo Hongyuan said: "Mr. Wenxiu wants to eat a bowl of almond and lotus seed porridge after he wakes up. The servants have to prepare it right away. If the king has nothing to do, the servants will leave first."

Baili Shiyao nodded and said, "Go."

Luo Hongyuan gave a salute, then turned and left.

Baili Shiyao lifted his foot and was about to leave when he suddenly found something on the ground.He bent down to pick it up, and it turned out to be the little girl's bellyband.It is embroidered with a simple lotus pattern and exudes a faint fragrance.He couldn't help but put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, a scent of lilacs passed through his nostrils and directly penetrated into his heart.It wasn't the smell of powder or spices, but a very fresh and natural fragrance, like a girl's natural body fragrance.

He smiled, quietly stuffed the bellyband into his sleeve, then turned around as if nothing had happened, called the accompanying guards, and left.

As everyone knows, Luo Hongyuan, who was hiding in the dark, saw everything he did just now, and that bellyband was also left behind on purpose by Luo Hongyuan.

Guessing that Baili Wenxiu was about to wake up, Luo Hongyuan sighed, "I don't know how long I'll be a maid!" Then she served the freshly served almond and lotus seed porridge and entered Baili Wenxiu's room.

Sure enough, Baili Wenxiu woke up, and was sitting on the bed blankly, not knowing what she was looking at. "Are you awake?" Luo Hongyuan walked to the bed and lifted the veil, only to see that he immediately pulled the quilt to cover her lower body, with a suspicious blush on her little face.
