Chapter 132 (3,000 words) Xuan Yi is really miserable...
The autumn weather is clear and refreshing, which is a good time to climb high and see far into the distance. The wind outside the window is also very cool and comfortable.
Yin Xing dined with Xuan Yizhen, his eyes fixed on her increasingly elegant and graceful face. He hesitated and asked, "Yizhen, when can I leave the palace?"
"What are you going to do outside the palace?" Xuan Yizheng said calmly while serving food to Yin Xing with jade chopsticks.
"Of course I want to walk around and take a look. I can't stay in the palace all my life." Yin Xing obediently bit the egg dumplings that Xuan Yizheng fed him. They were fresh, juicy and delicious.
Xuan Yizhen looked up at Yin Xing and said solemnly, "It seems safest for you to stay in the palace forever."
Yin Xing almost choked at that moment. He picked up the tea and took a big gulp. He felt that Xuan Yizheng's words were too scary.
Because of Xuan Yizheng's expression at the moment, she didn't look like she was joking.
"Yizhen, I don't think this is necessary."
"Do you think what I did was wrong?"
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere became noticeably more dangerous. Yin Xing blinked and looked at Xuan Yizhen's cold face. Her calm eyes revealed obvious unhappiness.
Or perhaps angry would be a more accurate word.
But Yin Xing didn't understand how his reasonable request could make Xuan Yizhen angry, so he could only shake his head in frustration and say, "That's not what I meant. Everything Yizhen does is of course for my own good."
Xuan Yizhen's expression softened slightly as he spoke, "Since you understand, then stay in the palace. You've always been very obedient."
"Yizhen was obviously very easy to talk to before." Yin Xing defended weakly and innocently.
"So you are disgusted with me now?" Xuan Yizheng asked with a frown.
After these words were spoken, Yin Xing didn't dare to utter a single word. He felt that the more he spoke, the more dangerous it would become. Was he the only one left to take the blame?!
Help, Xuan Yizheng didn’t seem to be like this before.
Yin Xing felt like chewing wax when he had a rare meal. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not his illusion. Xuan Yizheng was becoming unreasonable.
The female official Chunli knew the atmosphere between the two people best, so when she led the palace maids in to clean up the dishes, she found something was wrong.
The two people who used to talk and laugh were now sitting opposite each other in silence, respecting each other like guests.
As expected, there was no sign of easing between the two in the following days, but the empress lifted the ban on Queen Yin.
As time passed, it was late autumn. The autumn wind was slightly chillier, the branches and leaves in the imperial garden withered, and the carriages in the palace drove out of the palace gate silently.
The court lady Chun Li looked at the empress, who looked unhappy, and stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Empress Yin has already left the palace."
In the past, Queen Yin had left the palace from time to time, but it was usually when the lord was busy with state affairs, not on rest days.
"Then send someone to keep an eye on Queen Yin's whereabouts. If she makes any mishaps again, she will not be spared."
"As you command."
As he finished speaking, another carriage slowly passed through the long street, with loud shouts. Yin Xing rarely went out for some fresh air, but he had nowhere to wander around.
There was no way. Xuan Yizheng's aura was so strong now that Yin Xing was very wary, fearing that he would say something wrong accidentally and make him unhappy.
I might be confined by Xuan Yizheng again, which is so scary.
So Yin Xing wandered around and came to a familiar medicine shop. Jiang Yun was just emptying the medicine dregs from a clay pot when he came out, and he teased, "Dear guest, are you here to buy tonic medicine?"
"No, I just came out for a walk. Is that convenient?"
"Of course, please."
Yin Xing walked into the medicine shop against the cold autumn wind. The rich smell of the medicinal soup was a bit traumatic.
Liu Ci was taking the pulse and asking questions about the illness of the old woman at the counter, while the little girl beside him was weighing medicine obediently, looking like a little doctor.
Jiang Yun took Yin Xing into the windproof compartment and listened to the movement on the roof. He thought that the empress seemed to have arranged more secret guards. It really made him worry about the roof.
Tea mist lingered as Jiang Yun handed it to Yin Xing. Seeing her look like a frost-bitten eggplant, he said slowly, "A mere autumn breeze shouldn't chill you this much, right?"
Yin Xing looked at Jiang Yun, hesitantly wanting to speak, and replied hesitantly: "Do you think it's possible for a person's personality to become strange in a few years?"
"If it's been six or seven years, that's normal. After all, it's rare for two people to never get tired of each other. Did you have a fight?" Jiang Yun asked with curiosity in his eyes. He just happened to be free and wanted to kill time.
"Almost, it's just that it feels a little different from before. I don't know how I made her unhappy." Yin Xing dodged Jiang Yun's inquiring gaze and responded.
"I'm really relieved that you, a wife slave, finally discovered that the empress is different." Jiang Yun joked.
Yin Xing was silent, thinking back to the time when Jiang Yun and Liu Ci had a disagreement and almost parted ways. He humbly asked for advice: "What should we do then?"
If Xuan Yi really found that he was unhappy with me, he might also file for divorce because of the seven-year itch!
Jiang Yun drank his tea slowly and cleared his throat. "It's very simple. If you like it, then endure it. If you don't like it, then break up. So, do you like it or not now?"
"Of course I like her, but I'm not sure about her. Is there no other way?"
"No, everyone's temperament and habits are difficult to change, so when enthusiasm fades, we can only adjust. The power of the seven-year itch is not a joke."
Yin Xing immediately frowned and sighed repeatedly, lowered his head and drank a sip of tea, almost spitting it out because it was so bitter.
Seeing this, Jiang Yun laughed wantonly, and had been waiting to see Yin Xing's excitement.
Jiang Yun really doesn't like the taste of the new product developed by Liu Ci, but she insists on pairing it this way. What else can he do?
Not long after, Yin Xing stepped out of the pharmacy and saw that the sky was gray and hazy, completely different from the clear blue sky of spring and summer, which made people feel depressed.
When the carriage passed through the palace gate and the narrow palace road, and Yin Xing returned to the palace, the lights in the hall had already been lit and the heating was on, making it exceptionally warm.
Speaking of which, Xuan Yizheng has always been afraid of the cold, so the temperature difference between inside and outside the palace is very large, which is actually not good for the body.
When walking from outside to inside, Yin Xing saw from afar a bright yellow figure sitting upright, with a dignified posture and noble and outstanding appearance.
Even if you don't look at Xuan Yizheng's jade-white face, you can still clearly feel his detached temperament and quiet tranquility.
"You have been out of the palace for so long today, I thought you didn't plan to come back for dinner." Xuan Yizheng closed the document in his hand and spoke slowly.
"No, I was just taking a walk." Yin Xing heard the displeasure in Xuan Yizheng's words and had to explain.
As they were talking, the female official Chunli brought in the meal. Yin Xing sat down beside him and ate silently. He felt that Xuan Yizheng was too oppressive now.
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make, and it's easy to make Xuan Yizheng angry, so it's better not to say anything.
For a moment, there was a rustling sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding, and Yin Xing tasted the familiar food, which was very similar to the baby food Xuan Yizheng had made before.
At this time, Yin Xing looked up at Xuan Yizhen and found that her right index finger was tied with gauze. He asked with concern: "Yizhen, how did you hurt your hand?"
Xuan Yizhen tasted the food calmly, casually showing his index finger, and replied softly: "Nothing, just an accidental bump."
"You were fine this morning, how could you accidentally get hurt?"
"Don't you find that the fish cakes taste a little special today?"
Yin Xing met Xuan Yizhen's clear and beautiful eyes, which were filled with a hint of resentment, like a quiet pond with a hint of silvery moonlight passing through it, which was stunning. He stammered in response, "Hmm, it's delicious. Yizhen, your cooking skills are great!"
There is nothing wrong with it except that the fish cake tastes a bit lighter than the usual dishes.
It’s just that processing fish has always been troublesome, and I didn’t expect Xuan Yizheng to make fish cakes by himself.
The saying "never getting your fingers wet with water" is the most appropriate way to describe Xuan Yizheng.
With Xuan Yizhen's status, someone could even bring a cup of tea to her. Yin Xing felt a little touched when she thought of this.
Xuan Yizhen watched Yin Xing eat the fish cakes with big mouthfuls, not intending to end it there. He said softly, "But you left me and went out of the palace to meet someone else."
"I'm sorry, I didn't know Yizhen would prepare meals so carefully." Yin Xing originally thought that Xuan Yizhen would be as busy as he was a few days ago.
After all, Xuan Yizhen has been looking unhappy and cold lately, and Yin Xing thinks she might not want to see him much either.
After that, Xuan Yizhen did not accept the apology. He raised his hand and took the chopsticks to feed Yin Xing the fish cake, saying softly: "It's okay, then you just finish the fish cake, and don't leave any."
Yin Xing ate the fish cake with puffy cheeks and said guiltily: "Well, I will eat it all!"
Not long after, the female official came in to clear the dishes, and her eyes fell on Queen Yin who was leaning against her master because she was full. The two looked like they had reconciled.
It's really unpredictable.
At this moment, the master was letting Queen Yin remove the gauze from her index finger. The female official was naturally very familiar with the injury.
However, the simple-minded Queen Yin probably didn't know that her master's injury was not caused by a fish bone, but a sharp silver needle.
"It's so deep, it must be very painful." Yin Xing gently blew on Xuan Yizheng's hand injury, feeling even more annoyed.
I should not have said that I like to eat fish, otherwise Xuan Yizheng would not have thought of ways to prepare troublesome food such as fish balls and fish cakes for me.
"It hurt a little at first, but it's fine now." Xuan Yizheng responded in a clear voice, his dark eyes looking quietly at Yin Xing who was leaning against him, with a tender and soft light in them.
The female official retreated silently, remembering how she had seen her master pierce the silver needle into his fingertip without hesitation, letting the bright red blood drip. She didn't understand the reason at the time, but now she finally understood what he was thinking.
Recently, the Lord and Queen Yin have not been getting along well, so the Lord wants Queen Yin to soften her heart and reconcile with him.
Fortunately, Queen Yin did not completely become estranged from the master because of the house arrest, otherwise who knows what terrible things the master would do.
The female official really didn't dare to think about it too much, and sighed softly. The master cherished Queen Yin in such a twisted way that it would be difficult for an ordinary person not to feel fear.
As I stepped out of the quiet palace, the autumn wind was bleak and biting, and the gray sky was gradually filled with white snow.
The vermilion palace walls are covered with frost-white, the glazed tiles of countless towering palaces are covered with color, and everything is silent.
By the time the two snowmen were moved back to the snow, it was already the coldest time of winter.
Yin Xing discovered that the ugly snowman's face was intact. He remembered the gem he had taken away. It should have been dropped in his panic when he was running away.
Yin Xing stared at the jewel in a daze. In the obsidian-like luster, a frosty face was vaguely revealed. It seemed to be the stand-in, and she seemed to be smiling sadly.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Yin Xing's dazed look, Xuan Yizheng raised his hand to smooth out the fine fluff of her snow-white fox fur, and touched her face calmly.
"Nothing." Yin Xing came back to her senses and responded, thinking that Xuan Yizheng probably didn't understand the substitute, or perhaps she didn't care about the substitute.
But the substitute chose to die in the ice storage, perhaps because he realized that the snowman was not built by himself, but because he knew that it was Xuan Yizhen's true face.
Yin Xing looked at the beautiful Xuan Yizhen in front of him, and thought of the double who looked similar but different. He raised his hand to touch her face and said, "Yizhen, can you see my appearance clearly now?"
Xuan Yizhen quietly met Yin Xing's curious gaze, examined him carefully, and replied calmly, "Yes, it's very clear. I can even see the red pimples on your face from not being able to eat spicy food."
“…” Yin Xing discovered that Xuan Yizheng was not romantic at all, and was even a bit sharp-tongued.
"It's okay, I don't mind, just like you don't mind that my index finger is injured and I can't touch you." Xuan Yizheng kissed Yin Xing's lips, restrained himself from biting her, and chuckled.
Yin Xing blushed and pursed her slightly cool lips, feeling the soft touch faintly. She thought that these were two completely different things.
Although Xuan Yizheng has a sharp tongue, her lips are warm, soft and kissable.
