Harem Pampered Beauty: Chen Xiangxue

Chapter 14

The wind brushed past my ears, as if blowing countless ripples on the sea of ​​my heart.His eyes flicked across her face, fell among the sea of ​​flowers, and said indifferently: "Miss Murong, please respect yourself."

Her anxious and shy heartbeat instantly became feeble, she remembered what he said last night, and let go of his hand in embarrassment.

He bent down and reached out to lift her up and put her on the horse.Between the arms, it was like a cage.What she hates the most is being imprisoned, and she would rather fight to the death than to be caught without a fight.So he turned his head and declared war on him: "I will still run away."

He laughed and said: "It's so stupid. If it were me, I would never escape in such a stupid way. With two short legs, how could I outrun a horse?"

"You have short legs!" She was ashamed and annoyed, staring at him angrily.

He glanced at her, turned the horse's head and headed towards the river. When the horse's hooves stepped into the river, there was a brisk plop sound, but her heart was very heavy.The river water splashed up from under the horse's hooves and splashed onto her feet, which made her feel cold and without any warmth in her heart.

The wet clothes were wrapped around her legs, which was not only uncomfortable, but also exposed the shape of her thighs. She was very embarrassed and used her hands to pull up the clothes from time to time to avoid sticking to her legs.

He glanced sideways and said, "Who wants to look at you, you two short legs."

"You," she blushed angrily, wishing she could lift up her skirt for him to see, it was obviously a pair of slender and straight legs, okay?

When the wind blew, she felt a bit chilly and sneezed several times.

If she catches a cold and catches the wind and cold, it will definitely be another trouble.He untied a thin flask from his waist, stuffed it into her mouth, and drank her a few sips of wine to keep out the cold.

Murong Xue was caught off guard and was so choked that she coughed and burst into tears.There was a burning fire in her throat, and it went all the way to her heart, igniting the grievance she had endured to the extreme.So he burst into tears uncontrollably.She has grown up so much, she has never suffered so much, she has lost such a big person, and she has been so dirty. In short, he has seen the most embarrassing appearance in her life one by one. Her self-esteem was shattered to pieces.

He wanted to see how many tears she could cry, could she cry out a pot?No, I really underestimated her.

She thought that she was already in a mess anyway, and it wouldn't be a big deal to cry any more, she couldn't keep all the pain in her heart and ruin herself.With the idea of ​​breaking the jar, she cried all the way to Yixian County.

When she stopped crying, there was still a buzzing sound in his head, which was really admirable.

When he arrived outside the city gate, he opened her bundle, took out a garment and wrapped her from head to toe.

Murong Xue bared her teeth and claws to resist, "What are you doing?"

"The showgirls are already on their way. In order to avoid leaking information, they only say that you are seriously ill and have been on the road for two days at night. So no one should see you wandering on the street at this moment, understand?"

Murong Xue hummed.

"Cheng Lie, you go to buy some pastries and fruits, Zhang Long, you go to Qin Zhiang's place and drive the carriage over."

Not long after, Zhang Long rushed over to a carriage, Yeluyan threw Murong Xue into the carriage, and then threw her baggage in, saying: "Put on dry clothes."

Murong Xue opened the bag, took out a piece of clothing and changed into it.It's a pity that she didn't bring any shoes and socks. The wet shoes and socks wrapped around her feet were very uncomfortable, so she simply took them off, leaving her feet bare.

Yeluyan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he suddenly heard an earth-shattering wail erupting in the carriage, and hurriedly opened the curtain.

Inside, Murong Xue's bare feet were seen, and the tears that had just stopped suddenly opened up again, with a big face.

His head felt dizzy in an instant, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"My feet." She cried until her eyes were swollen, "Look, they are all wrinkled."

"..." He put down the curtain speechlessly, and rubbed between his brows in pain.What the hell is this woman doing....

The crying in the carriage finally stopped.

At this time, Yuan Chenglie bought a large bag of pastries and fruits, and handed it to Yeluyan.

"My lord is hungry, let's eat something before we go on the road."

Yeluyan took it, took out a few yuan and handed it to Yuan Chenglie and Zhang Long, and then got into the carriage.

No wonder she stopped crying, because she fell asleep.

He breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the other side of the carriage, ate a few mulberries first, and then picked up a piece of pastry.This Jiangnan-style pastry tasted very good, but it was a little too sweet for him.

After eating, he wrapped the rest in oiled paper and put it by her hand, and glanced at her by the way.

She put on women's clothes, the blue scarf on her head had been torn off, her hair was loose like a cloud, and it was scattered on the blanket so casually, smooth and smooth like silk satin, undulating and winding, like a landscape of splashed ink.For the first time, he felt that a woman with disheveled hair also had a natural and elegant charm.

The peach blossom-like lips are slightly parted, very coquettish.Her pink face was still stained with tears, her skin could be broken by blows, and her eyebrows were picturesque. The only thing that spoiled the scenery was the red and swollen eyelids, which looked a little ridiculous.

He remembered how she was crying just now, couldn't help but smile, his eyes moved down and landed on her feet.

Wet shoes and wet socks are at the feet.She was slender, but her fair and small feet were chubby and very cute. Her nails were still dyed with Koudan, bright red against the snow white, very charming and beautiful.

He looked away and said to the outside: "Go."

Murong Xue didn't sleep well last night, she ran away and exhausted her strength, she didn't know how tired she was.So the carriage bumped for a long time before she woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she met Yeluyan's gaze.

Will he be looking at himself all the time?As soon as this thought came to her mind, she couldn't help touching the corner of her mouth. Fortunately, she didn't drool.

He put a bag of pastries beside her and didn't speak.

She was already very hungry, and she was very happy when she saw the words Furongzhai on the oil paper outside the pastry. This is the most famous pastry in Yi County, and it tastes great.She opened it and took a few mouthfuls of caramel shortbread, then asked, "Is there any tea?"

"Not now." He handed over a few mulberries.

She frowned, took it very reluctantly, and ate it cleanly.

He couldn't bear to look at her, those dark lips, with red and swollen eyelids...

After eating and drinking, Murong Xue hurriedly went to look at her feet, and finally they were no longer wrinkled. She touched the wet shoes and said to herself: "What should I do, there is only one shoe."

He turned a deaf ear, closed his eyes and meditated.

The carriage didn't stop until the afternoon, when passing by a market town, Yeluyan said: "Stop."

There was a teahouse by the roadside, and an old man and a girl of fourteen or fifteen were busy.

Yeluyan asked, "Is there a tailor shop selling shoes and socks here?"

When the little girl saw his handsome face, she immediately blushed and pointed shyly not far ahead.

Yeluyan told Zhang Long to move on.

Not far away, there was indeed a small tailor's shop, and Yeluyan bought seven pairs of shoes and socks in one go, which made the old lady so happy that she couldn't hold her tongue.At the candy store next door, he went in again to buy some snacks.Then put the shoes, socks and snacks into the carriage.

Murong Xue felt flattered, since he had no intention of treating her, why did he treat her so well and even buy her snacks.

She couldn't help thinking wildly, could it be that because Zhao Zhenniang recommended herself to the emperor, he suppressed his emotions and dared not accept his feelings?The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was true. If not, there was no need to just take Yuan Chenglie and Zhang Yuan to chase her, and then concealed the charge of fleeing against the order for her.Moreover, the shoes and socks fit perfectly, how did he know his size? Could it be that he has been looking at his feet just now?
The self-confidence that had already been shattered into dregs was instantly glued together by his seven pairs of shoes and socks and candies, and became an invincible little heart again.She had a strong intuition that he liked her, so the idea of ​​getting along with him for a hundred years came back.But, will he be hit mercilessly by him again like last time?The dagger on her heart was still shining white at the moment, she hesitated for a while, finished her snacks, finally regained the courage and decided to try again.

At this time, God-sent, the carriage suddenly bumped, and she couldn't help but jump forward. The original direction was not so precise, but she adjusted the direction decisively, and bravely threw herself into his arms.

Unexpectedly, he stretched out an arm across the air, blocking her bear pounce, and the stiff arm touched her chest, and she almost burst into tears from the pain.

"Are you okay?" He looked at her calmly, without changing his face, but she blushed, she couldn't believe that his arm didn't feel the soft feeling just now, unless it was a wooden stick.

No, he's all wood.

She is like a frustrated young man full of fighting spirit but useless, with one hand resting his forehead, feeling depressed.

As the sun sets, the singing of the lotus picking girl can be heard in the distance, and every line of the lyrics seems to have been ironed into her heart, arousing her infinite resonance.It's a pity that although the person she likes is right in front of her eyes, she is so far away, she is a heartless wooden man.

Wu Nong softly said that Yeluyan couldn't understand, but seeing that she was obsessed with listening, she asked casually, "What are you singing?"

This is a small song from the south of the Yangtze River, which contains the meaning of missing a lover from afar. Murong Xue secretly thought that many lovers use songs to express their love. Maybe she can give it a try, so she plucked up her courage and said: "I can sing too. If you want Don't listen?"

After asking, she dared not look at his expression. If he refused, she would slam her head against the wall of the carriage and pass out.Thankfully, he said hello.

What should I sing?Since she wanted to express her heart, she naturally couldn't sing those songs about high mountains and flowing water, so she sang "Golden Thread Clothes" with a heartbroken heart.

"Admonish you not to cherish golden thread clothes. I advise you to cherish the youth, when there are flowers that can be broken straight, don't wait until there are no flowers to break the branches."

She was born with a good voice, mellow and gentle, and she thought she had already used [-]% of her skills to perform it, and she even listened to it, which was so soul-stirring and thought-provoking. With such a clear hint, he should understand what she meant.But what surprised her and regretted it was that he didn't show any emotion, and he was listening to the music seriously, with seriousness, comparable to Liu Xiahui.

Failed again.She was ashamed and lost, and she had no energy to continue singing the next verse.

Unexpectedly, he asked very seriously: "Why don't you sing?"

She blushed and hummed: "It's over."

He flicked his fingers, and said calmly: "Last time you played the song High Mountain and Flowing Water, but it's actually better to sing this little song by the Liba people."

What does this mean, to ridicule her that she is just pretending to be Yangchun Baixue on the surface, but is she actually a lowly person in her heart?

Murong Xue's face turned red immediately, her self-confidence was blown to nothing.She turned her head to look outside in embarrassment and anger, and the self-esteem thrown out of the carriage immediately returned to her bones with lightning speed.She hugged her knees and transformed into a muzzled gourd. Tears swirled in her eyes, and she held back them firmly.

"Are you thinking about running away again?" She didn't speak, but he took the initiative to speak, and his tone was very provocative.

She pouted and ignored him, her shattered self-esteem still not glued together.

He smiled: "I advise you to give up the stupid thing of running away."

She became more and more annoyed, did she call her stupid?

"Soon, we will join the Xiu Nu and Su Wei who went ahead. There will be a lot of people at that time. If you run away again, this king will not be able to hide from everyone's eyes. Things will not be as simple as before."

She understood what he meant.Only he and Yuan Chenglie and Zhang Long knew about these two escapes, so he could hide it. If he was with those show girls, he would no longer be able to cover up.If she thought about it, she felt that he was not so unfeeling to her, and her mood improved a lot in an instant.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "As long as you are honest and don't make any fuss, I guarantee that you will not be selected."
