lover in the mirror

Chapter 41 Guessing the Riddle

Fu Xiaochen has been very abnormal recently, which Chu Yunqi can confirm. A few days ago, he suddenly took a chair to Mu Ran's place, and later he went to buy a pen and engrave characters. He heard from Zhaoying yesterday that he went to Wenmoxuan to bring A red sandalwood embossed wooden box came out, is he going to give it to Cheng Xiangyun today?

Thinking of this possibility, Chu Yunqi couldn't help feeling irritated. Early this morning, the emperor had announced his marriage to Chu Yunyang in front of the civil and military officials of the court. He married Xiao Shuyu from the Xiao family. Yun Yang married the prostitute daughter of the Minister of Industry, and both of them were scheduled to get married on November [-]th, the auspicious day of the zodiac.

Not to mention the haste of the marriage, the two princes got married at the same time, which was a rare event in hundreds of years, and the ministers below all knew the emperor's intentions, which forced them to quickly take their positions.

The euphemistic name is "simultaneous marriage, happiness is added to happiness", who doesn't know that if the wedding is separated, the civil and military courts of the whole dynasty will naturally go to one side to congratulate. up.It's just that the crown prince has the title of "Eldest Son" and has always been wise and prudent.

How dare you not be cautious in making a choice that concerns the honor, disgrace and life of the whole family?Most of the courtiers took a wait-and-see attitude, and only a small number of bold and cautious people firmly believed that "wealth and wealth are found in danger". Now that the emperor has made this move, it seems that the court is about to change.

When he was in court, he heard rumors from the servants that Mr. Fu had gone back beforehand. Chu Yunqi’s first reaction was that he went to look for that Cheng Xiangyun again. When he returned to the Prince’s Mansion, he heard from the housekeeper that Mr. Fu had returned early. Just wandering around in the study and bedroom, I don't know what I'm doing.

As soon as he walked to the corridor near the dormitory, he saw Fu Xiaochen closing the door of the dormitory softly. No matter how he looked at it, his behavior was a bit sneaky. Chu Yun raised his eyebrows, what was he doing?

Suddenly hearing Chu Yunqi calling his name behind him, Fu Xiaochen was startled and froze there. It took a few seconds before he realized why I was guilty?Then he turned his head and greeted Chu Yunqi who had strode over, "I'm back."

"Well, why did you come back so early today?"

"Suddenly remembered something."

The wooden box hadn't found a place to hide it after it was taken out of the vase, and now it was lying across his sleeve, and he planned to find another place to hide it, but he didn't expect Chu Yunqi to come back so quickly, what should he do now.

Chu Yunqi looked at Fu Xiaochen's uncomfortable face, and his arms were a little stiff. It seemed that there was something hidden in his sleeves, and he didn't expose it. He grabbed one of his arms and asked very naturally, "Let's practice sword together?"

Fu Xiaochen was nervous again, but luckily the other party didn't grab the arm where he hid the brush.

"Go later, I'm thirsty, go drink a glass of water first." After speaking, he pulled his arm out of Chu Yunqi's shackles, slipped into the side sleeper, and stuffed the wooden box under the pillow indiscriminately He really poured himself a glass of water before coming out.Chu Yunqi didn't raise any doubts about his suspicious behavior, he is really a good and considerate person qaq

No, he is not a good person!Fu Xiaochen thought about the things he saw in the secret room before, when did Chu Yunqi have this weird collection habit!

He absently followed Chu Yunqi to the garden, but he didn't expect that Chu Yunteng was also there, and for some reason insisted on dragging Chu Yunqi to a sword competition, so Fu Xiaochen sat on the stone bench in the garden to watch the battle.With Fu Xiaochen's current mastery of swordsmanship, he can see some truths to some extent.

Chu Yunteng's hands were sharp and fierce, and Chu Yunqi's actions were calm and calm, as if what he was holding was not a life-threatening sword but a writing brush that splashed ink, making Fu Xiaochen think of a gentleman Sword is a term that has long since forgotten its meaning.

Just looking at it further, I found that although Chu Yunqi mostly defended and dismantled his moves, every time he made a move, he could hit the vital point, catching the opponent off guard.Hmph, sure enough, swords are like people, they are all hypocrites, Fu Xiaochen slandered in his heart, but he still couldn't forget what happened in the secret room.

In the afternoon, Chu Yunqi was correcting the memorial in the study. It was a good time to hide gifts. After many considerations, Fu Xiaochen hid the wooden box under Chu Yunqi's pillow, so that even if he couldn't solve the crossword puzzle, he would find it when he slept at night. .

After finishing the gifts, Fu Xiaochen came to the study room, took out a piece of rice paper, and leaned over the desk to write the riddles he had thought up.

Chu Yunqi saw that Fu Xiaochen was lying there writing as soon as he entered the study, and the format seemed to be a poem, so he was curious and wanted to go over to have a look, but who knew that the other party said fiercely, "Go and change your memorial, and I'll show you after it's done." .” I had no choice but to continue to change the memorial.

Perhaps attracted by the mysterious verse this time, Chu Yunqi quickly finished revising those memorials, picked up the last memorial and waved it a little flatteringly, then took the rice paper from Fu Xiaochen, and saw There are four large characters written on it "leave it behind"

Chu Yunqi was a little puzzled. He thought it was a poem written by the other party by chance. What is it?

"This is a riddle. If you guess it right, there will be a prize, and the prize is in the answer to the riddle."

Although he didn't understand why the other party suddenly thought of playing guessing riddles, Chu Yunqi was still quite interested in this prize. After all, it was given to him by Fu Xiaochen, so he immediately put in [-] points of effort.

How could this riddle stump the knowledgeable crown prince? Chu Yunqi smiled and said the answer after a while, "But the pillow?"

"Well, you're smart, the prize is right there on the pillow."

When Chu Yunqi heard the words, he immediately strode towards the bedroom, and Fu Xiaochen followed closely behind.

He took out a long wooden box embossed with red sandalwood from under the pillow, and Chu Yunqi opened it with trembling hands. There was a Beiwei Langhao pen, a mahogany pole, and the wrist and head were made of high-quality white ox horn. Two lines of silver were engraved on it. Silk small characters "Walk to the poor water, sit and watch the clouds rise."

Walk to the poor water, sit and watch the clouds rise.Chu Yunqi didn't understand for a while whether Fu Xiaochen was expressing his desire for a leisurely and happy life, or a hint that even if he came to the end of the mountain, he would confidently wait for his comeback.

No matter what the meaning is, whether it's this poem or this pen, Chu Yunqi likes it from the bottom of his heart, not to mention that Fu Xiaochen gave it to him.

"Birthday, ah, happy birthday."

Only then did Chu Yunqi realize that the other party was celebrating his birthday.In fact, he didn't care about such a birthday that wasn't exactly ten, and he didn't expect Fu Xiaochen to think about it.The suspicion and jealousy of the past few days disappeared at this moment. It turned out that he walked all these streets and entered these shops to choose gifts for himself.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

"My vision is naturally not bad." For some reason, Fu Xiaochen suddenly thought of the token of love, but it's just the promise of love... What should it be when the two-way crush knows that the other party also has a crush on him?

On the head of willow branches on the moon, people make an appointment after dusk.Winter is approaching, and the sky always gets dark earlier. Even though the moon has not yet reached the willows, dusk has already quietly descended, dyeing the whole room in an ambiguous yellow, as if... it is a good time to confess your love?

Fu Xiaochen pondered for a while, what should I say?Do I just say I like you, or do I love you or fall in love with you according to the ancient saying?Is it too straightforward to say this? In ancient times, expressing emotions seems to be quite reserved. Should there be some hints first?

Chu Yunqi looked at Fu Xiaochen with his head slightly lowered, his eyes erratic and thoughtful, the side of his neck line drew a beautiful arc, his long eyelashes drooped slightly, casting a faint shadow on his face, looking Quiet and beautiful.I don't know if beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I like this person more and more. Every move of this person has a unique sense of beauty in my eyes.

At the moment when the four eyes met, Chu Yunqi saw that Fu Xiaochen's face was first tangled, then embarrassed, and finally dodged at a loss. A kind of tenderness that was about to drown him flooded in his heart. Was the other party's behavior telling himself that all this Is it not my own wishful thinking?

In this atmosphere, Chu Yunqi was unconsciously attracted by the other party, their gazes were glued together, and the distance was getting closer and closer unconsciously, so close that their breaths intertwined, their heartbeats were so close, so close... About to kiss each other.

"Brother! It turns out that today is your birthday!" The door was pushed open suddenly, Chu Yunteng's voice came first, and then he saw this person in a good suit, striding in.

Fu Xiaochen suddenly came back to his senses, and his face turned red. He didn't feel anything just now, but now this situation is embarrassing no matter how he thinks about it.On the one hand, he was glad that Chu Yunteng came, otherwise he would have been seduced by the beauty trick just now, and he would have had his first kiss for no apparent reason.The same goes for Chu Yunqi, what's wrong with wanting to kiss him without saying anything?What about subtle beauty?

"Brother, I just came over from the kitchen. I saw the cooks making longevity noodles and realized that today is your birthday. Even if it's not your birthday, why don't you tell me that we should prepare some food and drinks in advance?"

After Chu Yunteng finished speaking, he realized that his elder brother's complexion didn't look very good?Immediately changed the subject, "The writing brush in this wooden box looks good, where did you get it?"

"Xiaochen gave me a birthday present."

"So that's it." Chu Yunteng touched his head, then glanced at Fu Xiaochen. "It's no wonder you're unhappy, brother. It's because Mr. Fu can remember your birthday, but I forgot it. It's my fault. I, the younger brother, have neglected my duties. Let's have a banquet tonight. I will punish myself with three bowls. "

Fu Xiaochen hadn't come out of the embarrassing atmosphere just now, seeing Chu Yunteng chatting with Chu Yunqi here, he just found a reason to go out.Although they didn't say anything, a lot of things have changed after that eye contact, perhaps, they have changed from the moment they walked into the secret room.

He no longer has to be entangled in bitter and sweet secret love, as a price, Fu Xiaochen knows that he will be entangled with Chu Yunqi all his life, regardless of whether he will marry a wife and have children, or whether he will be unified.I can no longer leave lightly, even if I leave for some reasons, a trace of my soul will stay here forever to accompany Chu Yunqi in life, old age, sickness and death.

As soon as Fu Xiaochen came to sleep on his side and calmed down, there was a maid outside the door saying, "His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince are hosting a banquet in the garden, and invite you to come."

Said that the banquet was really set up, Fu Xiaochen was a little helpless with Chu Yunteng's attitude of doing things that came as soon as he said it, tomorrow is not a holiday, Chu Yunqi has to go to the morning court, he can't be sick all the time, or It is better to drink less.

It's true that he thought so in his heart, but someone deliberately wanted to get Fu Xiaochen drunk, and he couldn't control how much he drank.
