Chapter 206 Seeing is believing!
"Wow……"
Ajiu's eyes were instantly attracted.
What a beautiful hairpin!
She immediately asked uncertainly, "Brother Xiongxiong, what are you...what are you doing with this? Zhengbin hasn't arrived yet."
Xiao Yu did not answer.
He reached out and carefully took out the phoenix gold hairpin from the tray.
Then he walked around the chair and behind Ajiu.
The tall figure instantly enveloped her small body.
A clear and familiar breath, unique to him, surrounded Jiu.
Jiu saw him leaning down slightly in the mirror, his handsome face so close to her, so close that she could even see his long and thick eyelashes.
What is he going to do?
Ajiu's mind went blank.
Xiao Yu raised the golden hairpin and gently inserted it into the bun that Ajiu had just combed.
Ajiu's whole body trembled violently, and a strange electric current instantly spread throughout his limbs and bones.
She stared blankly at the mirror.
The girl in the mirror was dressed in red, with black hair like clouds. A golden phoenix was spreading its wings in her hair, ready to fly. The red phoenix eyes added a touch of breathtaking brightness to her.
Behind her, the man in black had straightened up and was staring at her in the mirror quietly.
His eyes were as deep as the sea, without the usual coldness and murderousness, only the ultimate gentleness.
It's like drowning people in it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ajiu's heart seemed to be about to jump out of his throat.
Her cheeks suddenly burned up, redder than the sunset in the sky.
An unprecedented sour, sweet, and somewhat helpless feeling suddenly wrapped around her heart.
She suddenly understood.
I now understand why the heroines in the novels would feel "hearts pounding and faces blooming" when they saw their loved ones.
I realized that my dependence on "Brother Xiongxiong", my trust in him, and the feeling of "I'm not afraid of anything as long as he's around" had already changed quietly without me noticing.
That's not a sister's dependence on her brother.
Nor is it the admiration of the little animal that was saved for its master.
That’s a kind of…
Ajiu looked at the mirror and saw the man who made her heart beat faster and her face flush.
It was a feeling of wanting to be closer to him, closer.
I want him to smile like this only to me.
I want the gentleness in his eyes, like the deep sea, to always reflect only my own image.
Yes, I like it.
It's... the kind of love between men and women.
"Ajiu."
Just before Jiu's brain was about to burn out, the man's deep voice sounded in her ears.
"My Ah Jiu has reached the age of marriage."
He was the one who performed her coming-of-age ceremony.
He became her "main guest".
This realization caused another wave of burning sensation in Jiu's heart.
"Xiong...Xiongxiong brother..."
She opened her mouth, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum, her cheeks red as if bleeding, "You...you are breaking the rules..."
Before Xiao Yu could answer, an urgent voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, the auspicious time is almost here. The Empress Dowager's carriage has arrived at the palace gate!"
Before he could finish his words, the door was pushed open from the outside with a creaky sound.
Censor Qian rushed in with a bright smile on his face.
"My Lord, Miss Jiu, are you ready——"
Before the word "了" came out, Censor Qian's voice got stuck in his throat.
He stood there stupidly, staring at the two people in the room and... the inexplicable strange atmosphere between them.
"Did I...did I come at a bad time?"
Who can tell him what is going on?
The Regent, who has never been interested in women and regards all women as nothing, is now standing behind Ajiu. The posture is a bit too intimate.
And Ah Jiu, who was fearless and jumped around like a little monkey all day long, was now sitting quietly in front of the dressing table with a red face and lowered head. She looked... just like a young girl in love who was teased by her lover.
The most outrageous thing is.
The hairpin on Ajiu's bun
Golden Phoenix Hairpin
Isn’t that a token passed down from generation to generation in the Regent’s Palace, given only to the future mistress?
Now, this hairpin fits perfectly on Ajiu's head!
Or was it put on by the Regent...himself?
An absurd and terrifying thought suddenly emerged from the depths of his heart.
No way?
The Regent... could it be that he is treating Ah Jiu, who just came of age...
"cough."
A very light cough interrupted the storm in Censor Qian's brain.
He suddenly came to his senses and found that there was someone standing outside the room.
A man dressed in a white Taoist robe, with an extraordinary temperament, like a banished immortal.
If it’s not the National Master Xuan Yi, then who else could it be?
"Master Imperial Master!" Censor Qian bowed hurriedly.
Chu Xuanyi nodded slightly at him, with an unfathomable smile on his face, but his eyes glanced at Xiao Yu vaguely.
There was clearly a hint of mockery in his eyes as if he was enjoying a good show.
Censor Qian: “…”
Damn it, looking at the expression of the National Master, the horrifying thought he just had is probably true!
This regent is really an old cow eating young grass!
"What are you yelling about?"
Xiao Yu finally opened his mouth, his voice as cold as ever, without any emotion in it.
He had unknowingly taken two steps back, distancing himself from Ajiu, as if the man who was so gentle that he could drown someone was just an illusion of Censor Qian.
"Your Majesty..." Censor Qian was startled by his cold gaze and stammered, "The Empress Dowager has arrived, and the guests in the front hall are all here. We are just...waiting for Miss Jiu."
Xiao Yu said "hmm", which meant he understood.
His gaze turned to Jiu, who still had his head lowered, wanting to bury his face in his chest, and his voice unconsciously softened.
"Ajiu."
"……exist!"
Ajiu's whole body stiffened, and he responded suddenly, but he buried his head even lower.
I am too embarrassed to see anyone.
I really don't have the face to see anyone.
She actually...actually had that kind of thought about Xiong Xiong's brother just now.
She is such a rebellious little beast.
Brother Xiongxiong is so good to her, how could she...how could she have such inappropriate thoughts about him?
Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu, you are so wrong.
The girl was having a fierce inner struggle between her conscience and her desires, and she didn't notice at all that the man behind her had a very faint smile on his lips that flashed away.
"It's getting late." Xiao Yu said calmly, "Let's go."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door first.
"Yes, Your Highness." Chu Xuanyi also stood up, flicked his sleeves gracefully and followed.
When he passed by Censor Qian, he paused slightly and said lightly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Sometimes, seeing is believing."
