wedding dress

Chapter 68

It rained for several days, the heat of the scorching summer disappeared, and felt even cooler at night. Xiaodong put the gauze quilt on her body, half covered and half covered, her cheeks pressed against the pearl cool pillow, and she could feel a sense of discomfort even in her dreams. The autumn that should come at this time.

It’s raining and I can’t go anywhere, it’s damp everywhere, the clothes she wears have been specially dried and ironed by Mrs. Hu, but they are still different from those dried in the sun, besides, it’s rainy outside, even if you wear dry clothes After touching the body, after a while, it was still wet and sticky to the body, which made people feel tired all the time.

Finally, the day finally cleared, the sun was so hot that people couldn't open their eyes, Xiaodong ran ahead, Hong Ling and the others hurriedly chased after him: "Princess, don't fall."

Even if you don't fall, it won't work if you let the sun burn out.

Xiaodong's skin is tender, and it is usually a red mark when she is lightly rubbed by her nails, and the sunburn is not easy to heal.

Shen Qiang pursed her lips and smiled, seeing the sun suddenly after many days of cloudy rain, even she felt refreshed and wished she could shout a few times to express her feelings.

But seeing Hong Ling and the others being in such a difficult situation, Shen Qiang was still willing to be a good person.

She took Xiaodong's hand and said with a smile: "By the way, it's rare to meet a sunny day. Didn't you always want to go to the observatory?"

"Yes, go to the observatory."

The sun is so good, catch it and dry it well to get rid of the damp and musty smell coming out of your body.

The long bluestone steps lead to the high place, and the edges of the bluestone have been polished smooth, shining brightly in the sun.

"so tall?"

"If you want to watch the sky at night, you must not be tall. Before the observatory was built, the tallest one was Xianyou Pavilion. After the observatory was built, the tallest one was not there. But Xianyou Pavilion is good. Ah, below is Yuhuachi, which has a beautiful view. There is nothing to see at the star observatory.”

Xiaodong wasn't timid, he clenched his fists to cheer himself up.After returning from Zhuangzi, she has been maintaining a certain amount of activity. Climbing the observatory should not be a problem for her.

Shen Qiang also instructed her: "Lift up the skirt a bit, don't step on it."

Hong Ling nervously followed behind the two of them, neither daring to get too close to get in the way, nor daring to take a step further, for fear that Xiao Dong's foot would slip.

He suddenly wanted to come to this observatory, and if Mrs. Hu knew it after returning, he would have to grab her and reprimand her severely.

Xiaodong looked up, the sun was shining brightly.

She squinted her eyes, as if she saw someone flashing by.

"Is there anyone up there?"

Hong Ling blocked the sunlight with her hands and glanced upwards, but didn't see anything.

"Probably the people from Qin Tianjian. It's a rare sunny day, and they are also busy."

That's true... the people in the Qin Tianjian also have to predict the weather and so on, and they also do some first-class work of watching the sky at night to determine the ominous and good fortune, and they are not free.

To build such an observatory requires huge financial, material and manpower resources, and in this era, only the country can do it.

"How long has this observatory been built?"

Hong Ling thought for a while: "I don't know about this, this table is much older than me."

Halfway through the climb, the wind was much stronger than on the flat ground, making their hair and dresses flutter.Xiaodong stretched out his hand to grab the stone railing beside him, and wiped his sweat with his hand.

Hong Ling was worried, and tried to dissuade her: "Princess, let's go down. It's such a high place, what if you fall down."

Xiaodong glanced down, and felt that there was nothing wrong with looking down, but when he got to a high place, he felt a little dizzy and weak.

But it's been more than half of the climb, and now it's a pity to give up halfway?
She gritted her teeth: "Let's go."

Shen Qiang was already out of breath, since she came to the capital, she seemed to have never walked so many roads and climbed such high stone steps.

The two maids of the Changchun Palace who followed also secretly complained, but they couldn't get up and down in this kind of place, and they couldn't reach out to hold her and bring her back—in fact, she shouldn't be here in the first place, who would have thought This little princess has such a stubborn temper that she must climb the observatory.

One of the palace servants was more clever, and said first: "I'll go get some herbal tea cakes, and call two more people to serve the princess, and I'll be back right away."

The other palace maid reacted a little slower than her, and the palace lady who had spoken earlier had just turned around and leaned on the railing to go down.

Hong Ling cursed inwardly with the rest of the palace man: How treacherous!
She slipped away first.

But Hong Ling couldn't leave Xiao Dong no matter what, even if she wanted to call someone, she couldn't leave.

In fact, although the stargazing platform is high, it is not very steep. Even so, after climbing the last stone step to the top of the platform, Xiaodong was so tired that he sat down on his buttocks. It jumped violently, as if it was about to jump out of the chest cavity, the head was covered with sweat, and the eyes were dazzled.

It seems that her exercise is still not enough. It is necessary to think of other ways.Maybe Zhao Lu is willing to teach her boxing techniques and let her practice?
Hongling took a few breaths, touched the handkerchief to wipe Xiaodong's sweat.The wind was stronger on the top of the observatory, and Hong Ling was afraid that something might happen to her sitting on the edge of the stone steps, so she said softly, "Princess, let's go sit there and rest for a while."

"it is good."

Xiaodong and Shen Qiang held hands, helping each other to stand up.

The sun cast their small shadows on the ground, the sun was blazing, the color of the ground was dazzling white, and the dark shadows appeared so vivid and deep.

Shen Qiang pressed the corner of her skirt with her hands and walked slowly step by step.There was a lot of sweat on her body, and she could feel the beads of sweat dripping down her back, meandering and slow.The sun was so hot that the exposed skin seemed to be on fire, burning and hurting.

"Are there no guards here?"

"Normally someone should be watching, but no one will come easily."

Xiaodong saw the armillary sphere standing on the stone platform from afar.

In her previous life, she hadn't had the chance to see this with her own eyes, only seen pictures and models.

She pointed there: "I want to see that."

Hong Ling bent down, took out a belt from her purse, and tied Xiaodong's wind-blown hair: "Okay, let's go and have a look."

I don't know if it was the sun or the strong wind, but her face was flushed.

Hong Ling moved a step to the side, blocking the sun for her.Another palace man also winked, and stood aside to block the wind.

Xiaodong stood under the armillary sphere, gently stroking the copper pillars in a daze.

Never before have I realized so clearly that I am an ancient person.

It is too far away from the era of the previous life.

So far away, she will never go back.

I almost forgot everything about that era.

"Princess, let's sit over there and rest for a while." Hong Ling reckoned that the caller should have called him, and the herbal tea and pastries could also be brought.

The clothes on Xiaodong's body were also sweaty, and his mouth was dry. Seeing that Shen Qiang couldn't open her eyes under the sun, she kept wiping off her sweat, and said apologetically, "Okay, take a break, wait for us to pick you up." When the people come, they will go down."

There is a stone tablet not far from the east, and there is a shadow behind the tablet.Xiaodong sat down next to the stele, Shen Qiang simply took a step to the side, and sat in the shadow of the stone turtle carrying the stele.

Hong Ling stayed by Xiaodong's side as usual, pulled out the comb on her head and combed Xiaodong's hair, then braided it into a braid.As soon as I tied the head rope, I heard the sound of small footsteps.

someone is coming.
