Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 20 The Strange Noise in the Merlin
He walked in front of me leisurely, and within a few steps, he smelled a faint fragrance of green plums, which was refreshing and elegant.

"You are here again."

He didn't say this in a questioning tone, as if he knew it a long time ago, and he was here specially waiting for me to appear.

I bowed to him.

"Well, what are you doing?"

"I'm here to thank the lord. If the lord hadn't interceded for me, Xingsi wouldn't have been able to take a step forward in Congyun Palace."

He raised his eyebrows: "how can you be sure it's me."

I smiled lightly and didn't speak.

He looked into my eyes and smiled, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his smile: "You don't have to thank me. You can't go to every place in this palace, and you can't go to everything. You can see it, sometimes, if you listen more and watch more, it will bring disaster."

I understood that he was talking about everything I heard last night behind that wall.

He was reminding me not to talk nonsense, nor to look nonsense.

"Thank you, my lord, for reminding me."

After saying this, the plum garden fell silent for a moment. He stretched himself, leaned slowly on a plum tree, looked up at the starry sky, and said nothing.

He didn't speak, and I didn't speak again. I imitated him and leaned against the plum tree, listening to the plum blossom petals flying down in the garden, as if there was someone whispering in my ear, which had a special taste.

The two of them were silent like this, not speaking, and it seemed that there was no need to speak at all.

That kind of quiet and secluded feeling makes people seem to have entered another world.

Here, there is no worldly disturbance, no intrigue and intrigue.It is the most beautiful to sit and watch the clouds rise and lean on the plums to watch the stars.

goo...goo...goo...

I don't know how long it has been like this, suddenly, a strange sound rang in my ears.

"what?"

As soon as he turned his head, he saw him covering his mouth and coughing dryly twice, with an unconcealable embarrassment on his face.

I suddenly understood, and suppressed a smile: "My lord—forgot to supper?"

"Uh, yes, I forgot." He forced a smile: "I don't have much appetite recently."

"Oh, it seems that the prince is sympathetic to the stomach cold, so he should eat something warm and tonic." He said so, and I also said seriously: "After winter, it would be best to eat some roasted venison."

"Roast venison?" He looked at me with interest.

"That's right, it's the most tonic. It doesn't need other seasonings, just some salt. The taste is fragrant and strong, with a special flavor."

"Have you baked it?"

I nodded and said: "In the past in Congyun Palace, I didn't have an appetite to eat. Haoyan would often bring back some fresh venison from the hunting garden and roast it for me. He would build a fire in the yard, take wood Put on a stick and put some salt on it," I seemed to be back to the carefree 12-year-old, and said with joy: "I was always burnt at the beginning, and Haoyan taught me many times before slowing down. Learn slowly. Until then, he can only eat black charcoal."

As I was talking, I felt something was wrong, and when I turned my head, I saw him with his arms folded on his chest, looking at me quietly, with a smile on his face.

I suddenly realized my gaffe, and I pursed my lips and stopped talking.

"Xuanyuan Xingsi."

……

He called my name and paused for another moment, as if trying to figure out what to say.
