Chapter 216 Surprise
After drawing the last stroke, Xiaodong puts down the pen, and pulls away the piece of paper that was just drawn.On the fine white and translucent clear cloud paper is a picture of a peony with plump petals.

Hu pushed the door open with a smile: "Princess, look who is here?"

Xiaodong turned her head, Qin Lie was standing by the door, smiling slightly at her.

"How did you come?"

Qin Lie was serious: "Come to see the world. I have never bathed in a hot spring."

Xiaodong was taken aback, then laughed out loud.Hu smiled and took two steps back, closing the door.

Xiaodong took his hand and walked to the window to sit down: "Aren't you busy?"

"If you want to be busy, you will be busy every day, and you will never be able to finish it." Qin Lie smiled and rubbed his lips against her forehead: "I was questioned a lot when I came in just now."

"The emperor is here, that's it. Who made you catch up just in time. I live in another courtyard, and the further back you go, the stricter it is."

The hair on his forehead was wet with sweat, Xiaodong handed over the handkerchief, but Qin Lie poked his face forward and looked at her with a smile, Xiaodong wiped off the sweat for him.

"Although the weather is getting warmer, don't take yourself so seriously. You are sweating so much, you rode all the way here? Have you had lunch?"

Qin Lie rubbed his stomach: "I drank two sips of water on the way."

Xiao Dong gave him a white look, and called someone to come in and prepare the meal.

"Don't be so busy, just have something convenient to eat, anyway, we will have dinner in less than an hour."

Hongfu came in with two snacks and a pot of tea. Qin Lie ate most of the snacks in a blink of an eye.

Every time I watch him eat, I feel very hungry.

Xiaodong smiled and took a sesame cake to eat, and lifted the pot to pour tea for Qin Lie.

"Eat slowly, don't eat too much, or what will you do for dinner?"

"How have you been these two days?"

"Very good." Xiaodong wrinkled her nose: "It's just that when the emperor came, he was not so relaxed. The fourth sister and the sixth sister also became restrained. I went to ask Ann this morning. It turned out that I wanted to go to the Tiger Leaping Spring in Houshan today. If they don’t go to the other building, it doesn’t make sense for me to go alone.”

"Well, it's late today, how about I accompany you tomorrow?"

Xiaodong smiled and nodded: "Okay. The water in Huyue Spring is more comfortable than here. There are several small pools there. I went there once before. We can stay there for one night and come back the next day."

Although Xiaodong was very happy when Qin Lie came, but he also felt a little strange when he was happy.

Qin Lie sent her here at that time, but only halfway.Xiaodong is not the kind of woman who has to tie her husband to her skirt [-] hours a day.She planned to stay here for a few days, and asked someone to go back to the capital to bring the two books she wanted to read but didn't bring.

Qin Lie came so suddenly, Xiaodong was a little confused after being pleasantly surprised.

Even if Qin Lie wanted to make her happy, he didn't have to come over so quickly and drive himself like this. This is not his usual style of dealing with things.Besides, Xiaodong did not bring the books and other things that Xiaodong asked for back home.

Is there something wrong?

Xiaodong was slightly startled, and immediately vetoed this idea.If there was something in the Palace that required her to go back, Qin Lie would definitely tell her directly.Looking at his expression now, it is obvious that Jingli is fine.

So... don't worry about her?

But when she came with the fourth princess and the others at the beginning, Wang An and Qin Lie didn't feel worried.

——And now, the emperor is here, and Qin Lie hastily arrived.

Qin Lie said: "I'm sweating all over, I'll wash it off first."

Xiaodong smiled: "There are not many other things here, except that there are a lot of water and pools. I have one in my yard, here, just pass here, just around the corner. You didn't bring a change of clothes, did you? I ordered someone to replace it for you." You go find it."

Qin Lie took her hand: "You accompany me there."

Xiaodong's face became slightly hot, and Qin Lie half pulled and half hugged her back.She was worried that people would see her, but she didn't know if it was a coincidence or if others were too winking, but she didn't meet a single person along the way.

Warm spring water is spit out from the mouth of a stone-carved goldfish. This pool is not too big, but it can accommodate three or five people more than enough.Qin Lie pulled off his belt three times and opened his clothes, while Xiaodong stood beside him pursing his lips.

Qin Lie had already stepped into the pool, turned around and stretched out his hand to her: "Come down."

Xiaodong took a step back, smiled and shook his head: "You can make tea for a while, if you can relieve your fatigue, I will make tea."

Qin Lie didn't force himself, and sat down by the edge of the pool.

When Xiaodong came back with tea, Qin Lie leaned his head slightly on the side of the pool, as if he had fallen asleep.

Xiaodong put down the teapot and bent down.

Before her hand touched Qin Lie's face, Qin Lie didn't open his eyes, and said lazily, "I'm awake."

"You sleep for a while to refresh your mind, and I will call you when the meal is ready."

Qin Lie shook his head: "I'm not tired. It's just that I haven't slept well in the past two days. I don't know why. Usually you are at home, and I feel tied up when I sleep. I am afraid that I will crush you and kick you. You are not at home, I am alone Sleeping on the couch is not solid at all, neither horizontally nor vertically, I always feel that the legs and feet are not in the right place..."

So he felt the same way?
Xiaodong suddenly felt psychologically balanced.

Well, but balanced, and a touch of sweetness.

They are used to each other's existence, but they can't find the feeling of living alone before they got married.

Xiaodong took off her shoes and socks, and sat on the edge of the pool.Her feet are slender, like tender white water chestnuts that have just been shelled.She kicked the water lightly, and the flying water droplets splashed on Qin Lie's face. He turned his head and smiled, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiaodong's feet. With a strong force, Xiaodong screamed and fell into the pool with a splash.

Splashes of water—

In fact, the water in the pool is not very deep, and it would only reach Xiaodong's chest if he was standing up.But Xiaodong fell hard this time, and by the time she stood firm on Qin Lie, she was already completely soaked.The bun was partly undone, and the water was dripping wet, the clothes were tightly attached to the body, and the soft silk was saturated with water, becoming transparent and heavy.

"You..." It's too much...

Qin Lie pressed his lips warmly, blocking all her unspoken complaints.

"...God, the sky is still bright..."

Qin Lie was busy with both hands: "It will be dark in a while..."

Well……

When Xiaodong woke up, it was indeed already dark.

The terrain here in Kangquan is high, and the stars are much brighter than those in the capital.Looking out from the window, the dotted lights on the side of the mountain seem to overlap with the shining stars above the head, making it impossible to tell which is the star and which is the lamp.

There is a fixed time for meals in the palace, and Mrs. Hu reserved the meals for the two of them, and it is still warm to eat now.The sticky millet porridge is golden and fragrant. With the emerald green cabbage and the sour and appetizing pickled bamboo shoots, Xiaodong is still satisfied after drinking two bowls.She rubbed her already full stomach, and suddenly remembered... Today's good appetite is mostly due to the consumption of a lot just now...

The dining table was removed, and a plate of peaches and green pears was brought out.Qin Lie peeled the peaches carefully, and handed them to Xiaodong.

The ripe peach exudes a sweet and fruity aroma, Xiaodong took a bite, and felt that it was even more delicious than the ones he ate a few days ago.

"Stay for another two days and go back." Qin Lie's fingers gently combed Xiaodong's black hair a few times.Xiaodong's hair is soft and thin, with a moist and warm feeling.Qin Lie felt that he was going to be addicted, so he couldn't bear to take his hand back.

"Yeah." Xiaodong didn't ask the reason.

Sometimes, Xiaodong felt that Qin Lie understood her more and deeper than herself.

He also knows a lot.

For example, the matter of the Yao family.

But Xiaodong tried to ask him several times but failed.Qin Lie's eloquence was also very good, and every time he spoke, he would inexplicably change directions. Xiaodong was fascinated by what he was listening to, and he could only recollect it later—yes, he was led by the nose again to a fork in the road.

Xiaodong was a little lost in thought, stained his hands with peach juice, and called someone to bring water to wash his hands.

She has a feeling.

For a long time, the people around her have jointly maintained a secret, and this secret is related to her.

The emperor and empress know this secret, the empress dowager knows it, King An knows it, and the Hu family knows it—now it seems that Qin Lie should know it too.

It has something to do with her, but she doesn't know it.

It's not that she is curious.

However, these people who hide her are more people who love her.

Their concealment must... also be for her, okay?

Xiaodong sleeps very soundly at night, neither tossing and turning, nor waking up several times a night.

She wakes up first in the morning.

Qin Lie was still in a deep sleep.

Xiaodong lay on the pillow and looked at his face carefully.

Qin Lie's eyebrows were black and thick, the bridge of his nose was straight, and thin stubble appeared on his lips and chin, which looked light blue in color.

Although the color appears calm and uniform, it feels like a hard brush.Xiaodong's skin is thin, and when his ears and temples are rubbing together, he is always screamed by Qin Lie's stubble.

His lips are very delicate, which looks like his mother.

Xiaodong looked at his facial features bit by bit, and put them together to ponder.

There was the sound of someone walking outside, and the sky gradually brightened.

It's almost time to get up.

But he didn't want to move.

One more point is one point, and one more moment is one moment.

"It's foggy today." Hong Fu said, "I can't see anyone ten steps away."

Xiaodong picked up the rouge with the hairpin and glanced out the window.Through the light blue window screens, the outside is indeed hazy.Pushing open the window, wisps of white mist slowly diffuse into the window, like water, silent and gentle.

With such a heavy fog, I'm afraid I can't go to Huyue Spring.

What a pity, Xiaodong still wants Qin Lie to take a look.

When in Suizhou, Qin Lie deliberately took Xiaodong to the mountain to see the waterfall and lake, which were so beautiful.The scenery of Huyue Spring is not so beautiful... But Xiaodong also wants to go there with him for a day.

But I didn't expect this to be so unfortunate, the fog was too heavy, and the mountain road was difficult to walk.

Xiaodong was a little depressed, Qin Lie comforted her in turn: "It doesn't matter, it may not be foggy tomorrow, it's the same if we go tomorrow."

Big Chengzi was sick for more than a week and went to kindergarten again. Everything went back to the original point and continued to cry, just like the first day when I went there.
