Chapter 20: Love the wrong man and go to bed(1/2)
The sunlight outside the window is very pleasant and makes people feel particularly lazy.
Looking from a distance, the hole dug by the pink lotus and the spring warbler a while ago under the apricot tree has been filled with dead grass. A white cat is lying in it, snoring in a deep sleep.
At this time, Fenhe was cleaning up the dust on the eldest lady's desk. Although her sleeves were rolled up high, most of them were already soaked through.
"Miss! I always feel that King Lin is not such a casual person. Maybe there is some misunderstanding between us? Why don't you ask him calmly?"
Xia Lingyue was sitting on a reclining chair nearby, holding a book in her hand and shaking it listlessly.
"What do you want to ask? Fortunately, no one else was present at the time. Otherwise, if the news spread, where would you put my face?" When she said this, she had no intention of reading any more.
"Otherwise, you should at least give them a farewell party, right? Think about it! They are your mother's family after all! How many years has it been since this was the first time that I came to our house to see you, Miss!
You'd better listen to my advice! Although you seem to be cool now,
Guang, the family is well-off and has a deep foundation. But after all, Princess Ji has passed away for many years! You still need to take care of your future! There are many precedents in the past for the strong to overthrow!" Fen He finished these words.
When I did, I suddenly regretted it.
"Ah! I'm sorry! Miss, please don't blame me! This slave is unintentional. She hasn't read any books and can't speak..." she begged tremblingly.
"Okay!" Xia Lingyue put down the book and stood up from the rocking chair: "What you said is not unreasonable. I will consider it carefully."
"Thank you, Miss, for your irresponsible kindness!" Fen He then turned his head and continued to clear the desk with peace of mind.
"But..." Fenhe thought of something again, but stopped talking.
"But what?"
Xia Lingyue stood in front of the window with her hands behind her back, staring at the white cat sleeping and snoring under the apricot tree from a distance.
"Huh? Fenhe? Look at that cat! I haven't seen any master in the house keep it! Where do you think that cat came from?"
Fen He put down her work, straightened up and followed Xia Lingyue's eyes, looking out the window.
"Oh! Maybe it's a wild cat, right? I seem to see it walking around our house often! If you didn't mention it, I really wouldn't remember it! Hehehehe...
" Fen He couldn't help but laugh when she saw the fat cat snoring loudly.
"Huh? You said that since no one in the house raises it, why does it grow so fat?" Xia Lingyue asked again in confusion.
"Is this it? Maybe it's because it often goes in and out of the kitchen to steal food? Well! I have to say hello to Aunt Peng and the others, so as not to let the wild animals get fat with all the food in the kitchen!" Fenhe couldn't help but feel a little bit.
He crossed his arms angrily.
"Yeah?"
Xia Lingyue frowned and stared at the cat thoughtfully. She always felt that the reason why it gained weight seemed to have been seen somewhere.
"Do you have any other ideas, Miss? Come and listen to me! Maybe I can learn something from you!" Fenhe's face suddenly started to pulse with excitement.
"Actually, I think it's just a cat. It's not enough to deprive the Hou Mansion to the point of being ugly. I just feel that it's not that easy to eat secretly, right? I probably know this, Nanny Peng
Taking care of the kitchen with grandma and the others is very responsible!"
"Oh...but Miss? I think you should go and entertain your two royal cousins. They are going back anyway. Do you think what I said is right?"
Fenhe raised her head, her eyes filled with confusion but feeling that she was right.
"Pink He!" Xia Lingyue was still staring at the cat, her expression getting weirder and weirder.
"Miss, you..." Fenhe looked at her gradually changing expression, and suddenly felt more and more frightened in her heart.
"Pink He! I always feel that the cat didn't gain weight by eating in the kitchen." Xia Lingyue's eyes were full of weirdness.
"Little...Miss! You...don't scare me! I don't know anything...I know!..." Fenhe said with a face
His expression became increasingly frightened.
"Hehehe...are you scared?" Xia Lingyue suddenly laughed.
"Miss... Fenhe is not as knowledgeable as you, nor has he read as much as you, so please don't scare me!..." Fenhe huddled against the corner.
"Hahahahahaha...you are so cute!" Xia Lingyue suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Little... Miss!... What's wrong with you? Why do you look so weird today?" Fen He hugged the bookcase next to her, almost scared to death.
"What are you afraid of? You've never done anything wrong, so what's there to be afraid of?" Xia Lingyue laughed so hard that she held her stomach.
"That...that's of course!...Feng Heyi...is just a little girl, what...can she do anything untoward?...
....”
Fenhe stuttered in response to her. The problem was that her intermittent words sounded like she had done something wrong.
"Oh my God! You shouldn't have really done something wrong, right? Come on! Have you done anything to feel sorry for me?" Xia Lingyue pretended to be serious and asked her with a serious face.
"Ah!...Miss, please forgive me! Didn't Fenhe do it on purpose? Fenhe was also forced to have no choice!..."
After hearing Xia Lingyue's question, she suddenly felt as if the tip of the iceberg had suddenly collapsed.
"Um???!!!......"
After seeing Fen He's panic, Xia Lingyue's eyes began to fill with doubts.
"Pen He! Did you really do something to feel sorry for me?"
"Miss, no...no..."
Only then did he suddenly realize how damn worthy he was!
"Then why are you so nervous?"
Although Xia Lingyue said these words, most of her thoughts were still on the cat under the apricot tree.
"Miss! I'm just afraid that you may misunderstand, because Fen He knows that he does not take good care of you in many ways, so he feels quite guilty..."
"Guilty?" She suddenly turned her head: "Okay! I believe you won't do anything sorry for me, and you don't have to be afraid of anything. I'm interested in that cat now!"
"Ah?...But do you want to catch it and raise it?"
Fenhe gradually lost her previous restraint.
"No, I mainly think it looks interesting!" Xia Lingyue couldn't help but giggle.
Fen He, who was confused, looked at her uncertain face, and suddenly felt that there was an indescribable strange feeling.
She secretly looked at the eldest lady, frowned, and silently fell into deep thought: Why is the eldest lady now becoming more and more unpredictable?
"Pink He... Huh? Why are you looking at me like that?" Xia Lingyue smiled and turned her head inadvertently.
"Ah!..." Fenhe suddenly came back to his senses and smiled unnaturally: "Nothing! Nothing! I just saw that the way the lady smiled was so...too beautiful.
La! So..."
"oh......"
However, although Xia Lingyue had a smile on her face as if nothing had happened, a pensive solemnity gradually began to rise in her heart.
"Uh! Fenhe! Didn't you just suggest that I go to a banquet with the two royal brothers tonight? Go ahead and make arrangements for me now!" She suddenly changed the subject and ordered her with a smile on her face.
"Okay! Miss, I didn't expect you to figure it out so quickly? I will make arrangements right away." With that said, she turned around and hurried towards the door.
"That's right! Just remember! There's no need to invite anyone else."
"Yeah! Okay!"
.................................................................
.
It was night, the sky was cold and the moon was as bright as a silver disk.
Under the apricot trees in Xia Lingyue Palace Garden, groups of green fireflies shuttle like phosphorous fire, and the night wind shakes the swaying bamboo forest outside the wall.
The three of them were drinking together in the outer room.
"Two royal brothers! Since you have just arrived not long ago, why are you in such a hurry to return to the palace so soon?"
The table in front of me was filled with wine and food. Although it was not particularly rich, it had the atmosphere of a homely life in a farmyard.
"We have been disturbing the house for a long time, so it's time to say goodbye."
King Ying looked at King Lin and answered first.
"Since you are here, sister, there is no need to be polite! Although my mother-in-law is no longer here, I still welcome you!"
Xia Lingyue raised the wine bottle in her hand as she spoke: "Come! Let's have a drink for our first meeting!"
King Lin on the side didn't know whether he was shy or shy, but his expression looked a bit embarrassed.
"Brother Erhuang, I'm not telling you that, you really are!" After she finished her first glass of wine, a hint of pink tipsy hair flew onto her cheeks.
"Hey! Forget it! Let's not talk about that! We must have a good chat about family matters, and we won't go home until we're drunk!" As she said that, she held up the wine bottle and drank it.
"Brother, how are you doing these years? I heard that the purpose of your coming here this time is to find us a royal wife? Hahahaha..."
Perhaps because of the two glasses of wine, she slowly began to talk more.
"Where is it! Who did you listen to when it didn't happen? Do you actually believe it if it's not true?" King Ying smiled and looked at her, who looked even more innocent after drinking.
"Okay! I didn't listen to anyone, so I guessed it myself!"
Her drinking capacity may not be very good. After only two glasses of wine, Taotao started to feel dizzy.
