Chapter 138 (3,000 words) Xuan Yi Zhen Hai...
In late autumn, frost forms on tree branches and the fog is thick, hinting at the approach of winter.
The palace was heated early and was exceptionally warm. When the female official Chunli entered to serve ginseng soup, she immediately saw Queen Yin fiddling with gloves woven from colorful balls of thread.
The dignified and elegant master was flipping through documents with one hand and stretching out the other hand to let someone put on colorful gloves, which looked very incongruous no matter how you looked at it.
Yin Xing compared Xuan Yizhen's hand to hers, touched her palm, and muttered, "Luckily it's not too small, otherwise it would be difficult to change."
"Then I can put on the hand guard for you. I'm not in a hurry anyway." Xuan Yizheng drew circles on Yin Xing's palm with his fingertips.
Yin Xing was ticklish and held Xuan Yizheng's hand to prevent her from moving. He looked at her fair cheeks. Although his expression was calm, he could clearly feel that her eyebrows were soft and she was happy.
"If you're really not in a hurry, why not just give it to the little girl first?"
"no."
After he finished speaking, Xuan Yizheng turned his head to look at the smiling Yin Xing, only to find that she was doing it on purpose, avoiding his bright gaze with a hot face and not looking at her.
In the silence, Yin Xing quietly looked at Xuan Yizheng's somewhat cold profile, but he knew that she actually had childish moments.
For example, gloves. Yin Xing originally thought that children would like colorful ones, but Xuan Yizhen said that she liked them too, and her intention was obvious.
However, Yin Xing felt that Xuan Yi was really cute. She was no longer that vague and wandering soul who was indifferent to everything.
Xuan Yizhen now has some normal little emotions. She is neither extreme nor ill, which is good.
Thinking of this, Yin Xing stopped disturbing Xuan Yizheng. He raised his hand to separate the colorful balls of yarn, smiling happily to himself.
Xuan Yizheng noticed Yin Xing's smile, which was sweet and bright, like the warm sunshine in spring. His dark eyes reflected the soft light. He flipped through the documents with his fingertips, thinking that the gloves were a bit ugly, but at least he was the first person to receive a gift from Yin Xing.
The hazy sunlight outside the window broke through the thick fog and silently fell into the quiet hall, illuminating a cold glow.
This touch of brightness in late autumn soon turned into a gray and sad white when the winter snow fell.
Inside the palace, amidst the sound of recitation, Yin Xing in the courtyard put on small gloves for the little girl and said expectantly, "It's cold, these will make you feel much more comfortable. We have the same style, do you like it?"
The little girl obediently stretched out her two hands, looking at the colorful, fluffy gloves on her palms. She also noticed Queen Yin's gloves and nodded childishly, "Yes."
"That's good." Yin Xing felt that the little girl was sometimes very similar to Xuan Yizheng. They rarely expressed their emotions directly.
"Thank you, Her Majesty." The little girl looked up at Queen Yin and said shyly.
Yin Xing smiled warmly, her eyebrows curved. "You're welcome. This is also a gift from the Empress. She has the same gloves. We are family."
The little girl looked at Queen Yin in ignorance, her eyes, which had always been precocious, were a little confused. In fact, she didn't quite understand the specific meaning of family.
Because the little girl was an orphan and had never had a family, she naturally didn't know what family was.
"So everyone in the family wears the same gloves?"
"Well, it's not just gloves, there are many other things we share with each other."
Yin Xing had never seen the little girl ask questions on her own initiative, so he was a little surprised.
However, it was a bit difficult for Yin Xing to explain the meaning of family to a little girl in a few words.
However, Yin Xing felt that actions would explain the meaning more clearly than words.
After all, the little girl is very smart and she will slowly understand the meaning.
The wind blew, and the snow fell silently outside the house, forming a thin layer of snow, reflecting a bright white glow.
The winter snow was getting heavier, the New Year was approaching, and the court affairs were busy, so Xuan Yizheng did not often stay in the palace.
Yin Xing had nothing to do, so he took the little girl out of the palace to see what was happening.
After all, studying all day might turn a child into a nerd. Yin Xing felt that children would only be happy if they played more.
The long street was bustling with activity, with carriages passing by. Yin Xing, who was passing by the busy stalls, took the delicate little girl by the hand and walked around with her to look around.
Of course, if he comes across delicious snacks, Yin Xing will buy some for the little girl to try.
"Clay figurines, beautiful clay figurines!"
"Look, look!"
Yin Xing was drawn to the figure before the little girl, and she looked at it with sparkling eyes and said, "This clay figure is so cute, do you want one?"
The little girl looked at the red-cheeked clay figurine in front of her, then looked at Queen Yin who was staring intently at her, and nodded in agreement: "Yes."
"Old lady, please make a doll as cute as her."
"Okay!"
Yin Xing sat with the little girl, fed her crispy candies, and waited patiently with her.
The little girl looked at her hand being held by Queen Yin, which felt very warm. She tasted the overly sweet crispy candy between her teeth and sat obediently waiting to be made into a clay figurine.
Even though the clay figure looks a little dull and doesn't look like myself.
The long street was bustling with people. Yin Xing was waiting for the clay figurine when he suddenly saw a familiar figure jump into his sight. He was a little surprised.
The purple orchid sword tassel swayed slightly, and Jiang Yun said with a cynical look, "What a coincidence."
Yin Xing tilted his head to look at Jiang Yun, and asked in surprise, "Are you bringing your kids out to play too?"
"I'm not as lucky as you. I just went to pick up Liu Siyun from school." As he spoke, Jiang Yun looked at the calm little girl next to Yin Xing and was stunned.
This familiar feeling that comes over me is too much like the Empress.
"Oh, Xiao Siyun wants a clay figurine?" Yin Xing said as he looked at Liu Siyun who had grown a lot taller.
"No need." Liu Siyun remembered Yin Xing, so he could respond in a friendly manner.
After he finished speaking, Liu Siyun noticed the gaze and looked at this beautiful yet extremely quiet little sister. She didn't look like a clay figurine with red dots on her cheeks at all, but more like a finely carved jade doll.
But the little girl didn't care about Liu Siyun. She just moved closer to Yin Xing and was a little cold and wary.
Liu Siyun was puzzled and didn't look at the pretty little sister again. He vaguely felt that she didn't seem to like him.
Soon, Yin Xing took the clay figurine from the old woman, handed it to the little girl, and said, "This person is my friend. You can call her Aunt Jiang."
Jiang Yun quickly corrected her: "Hey, how come I became Auntie? Of course I have to call you Sister."
After she finished speaking, the little girl called out in a bright and childish voice: "Auntie Jiang"
Yin Xing couldn't help but laugh at this.
"Alright, I won't argue with the kid. Is she from the Wanqi family's bloodline?"
"How do you know?"
Jiang Yun glanced at the little girl's clear features and said slowly, "It's probably because of her aura. She doesn't look like a wife slave like you at all, so she can't be a relative of a third party."
If Yin Xing wants to raise a daughter, he obviously needs the empress's consent.
After all, Yin Xing is now the queen of a country, and the stepdaughter she chooses may very likely become the crown princess in the future.
Xuan Yizheng must choose this identity carefully and must not be careless.
Yin Xing looked at the quiet little girl. Her personality and temperament were very similar to Xuan Yizhen. She whispered to Jiang Yun, "She's actually very well-behaved and not as withdrawn as she looks."
When Jiang Yun heard this, he felt that the words were very familiar.
Yin Xing had defended her beautiful wife in the same way before. Her view of people remained the same as always without any change.
The two chatted for a while, and Jiang Yun took Liu Siyun back to the pharmacy so as not to delay Liu Ci's meal time.
Yin Xing also realized that it was getting late, so he stopped wandering around and took the little girl to the carriage back to the palace.
However, when Yin Xing returned to the palace, he was still one step too late.
Xuan Yizhen sat down on the low couch alone, looking as if nothing had happened. He glanced at Yin Xing and asked, "Did you have fun going out of the palace today?"
Yin Xing walked up and responded, "Well, I can take Yizhen there next time. It's very lively."
"I'm not as free as you are. I can even delay my meal time just to play."
"Yizhen, I was wrong."
After all these years of getting along, Yin Xing has some understanding of Xuan Yizheng's personality.
She wouldn't really be mad at herself, as long as she apologized positively, then everything would be fine.
Xuan Yizhen raised his eyes to meet Yin Xing's clear, round eyes. He raised his hand and touched her flushed cheek. She felt a little cold, and said with pity: "It's so cold, but you insist on leaving the palace. Aren't you afraid of getting sick?"
Yin Xing pressed his cheek against Xuan Yizhen's palm, snuggling up to her and saying warmly, "Yizhen, hug me and I won't be cold anymore."
It's a bit embarrassing, but it definitely works!
"I really can't do anything about you." Having said that, Xuan Yizheng still raised his hand and hugged the soft Yin Xing to ease the uneasiness in his heart.
Yin Xing disappeared in the palace last time, so Xuan Yizheng became anxious and worried, and found it difficult to control his worries.
If possible, Xuan Yi really wanted to tie Yin Xing to his side all the time to feel at ease.
Of course Xuan Yizheng knew that this was impossible, so he could only try to relieve his anxiety by hugging her.
Yin Xing quietly let Xuan Yizheng gradually reduce the strength of his arms, feeling her care and enduring the discomfort.
In the silence, the snow falling on the window lattice outside makes a rustling sound, which is as peaceful as white noise.
After a long time, Xuan Yizheng calmed down a little and was about to release his arm.
Suddenly, Yin Xing in his arms raised her head and kissed his thin lips. Her eyelashes kept fluttering, and her eyes were like stars, shining brightly.
"I'm sorry, I will take Yizhen out of the palace to play next time." Yin Xing didn't want Xuan Yizhen to worry about gains and losses, otherwise she would be unhappy.
So Yin Xing felt that he was a little irresponsible, as he had clearly promised Xuan Yizheng not to be partial.
It is indeed difficult to keep both sides balanced.
"Isn't your apology too insincere?" Xuan Yizheng pursed his thin lips, his eyes fell on Yin Xing in front of him, his fingertips resting on her side, rubbing it unbearably.
Yin Xing's face flushed, and he looked straight at Xuan Yizhen, who was as frank as a mirror, thinking that she really did what she wanted to do, without any shyness at all.
But since Xuan Yizheng felt uneasy, Yin Xing naturally had to try his best to apologize.
Thinking of this, Yin Xing put aside his shame and moved closer again, sniffing the familiar cool fragrance of Xuan Yizheng. He tasted it lightly and then slowly moved forward.
When it comes to love affairs, Xuan Yizheng is not the type of person who insists on being dominant. She likes sensory stimulation, and it doesn't matter whether she is active or passive.
Fortunately, Yin Xing has learned a lot of tricks from Xuan Yizheng over the years, so it is easy to get to the point and avoid hurting her.
The winter wind is cold outside the window, but it is particularly warm inside the window, bringing the warmth and humidity of spring, making people blush and heartbeat.
