When Qu Qing Ju walked out of the study, it was more than an hour later. She adjusted her slightly askew hairpin and stood at the doorway, narrowing her eyes to look at the setting sun. She smiled and turned her head back. She only saw He Heng's straight figure standing in front of the desk.
The people in the dark and the people in the light always felt that the other was especially dazzling. When He Heng raised his head, he coincidentally saw that smile. His eyes blurred and he suddenly felt stunned. He seemed to understand what it meant by "one smile from a beauty enchanting a hundred."
"Wang fei," Yu Zan came forward and added a thin cloak for Qu Qing Ju. She bowed as she tied the cloak. The weather was cold, wang fei had to take care of her body. “
Slightly raising her chin, she allowed Yu Zan to tie the cloak more smoothly. Qu Qing Ju smiled and asked: "You yahuan, do you really think I'm that fragile porcelain person?"
"Wang fei was sick a few days ago. Nubi had been worried for a long time. Now that you are at peace, you don't have to be too careful." Yu Zan tied the cloak and smiled as she bent her knees to walk next to Qu Qing Ju, holding her hand.
Qu Qing Ju smiled and shook her head. She raised her feet to walk down the stone steps, "I just remembered there was a pouch that was only half embroidered. Let's go back."
Ming He watched as wang fei left with the yahuan. He bowed and led the other servants: "Wang fei, take care."
Qu Qing Ju stopped walking and turned to nod at him before continuing to walk forward.
Such a small action, but it made Ming He feel much closer to wang fei. Wang fei's status, it was a great honor for her to nod at him when she left. He turned to look inside the study and walked to the door, announcing: "Wang ye, today, the Department of Household Affairs sent over some lamb from the Northern Frontier. Zhuzi should have a taste."
"Get the servants to prepare all kinds of meat and vegetables to be sent to zhengyuan. Ben wang and wang fei will eat hot pot together," He Heng walked to the door and looked at Ming He, "Didn't the officials from Dong Jun send some braised pork and venison? Tell the servants to prepare it well. A few days ago, wang fei mentioned that she wanted to eat hot pot. With the weather now, it's a good time to eat hot pot."
"Nucai will send the order," Ming He bowed and retreated. Leaving the yard, he quickened his pace. He also had someone tell this matter to zhengyuan to prevent wang fei from being caught off guard.
It was indeed a happy thing to sit indoors and eat hotpot food in the winter, especially since the dishes were all very fresh. There was no need to worry about chemicals or that they would lose their taste after being frozen.
He picked up a pure wild mushroom with his chopsticks and put it into the bowl. He dipped it in the top-notch seasoning dish and took a bite. It was spicy and delicious, and indescribably comfortable.
Qu Qing Ju didn't like mutton, but this time, the mutton was handled very well. She only tasted the delicate and smooth texture of mutton, without any fishy smell. The pheasant was fresh and fragrant, the shrimp was delicious, and there was also the roe deer and venison meat that she didn't often eat in her previous life. Qu Qing Ju couldn't resist and ate quite a bit.
He Heng looked in shock at the plates of food disappearing. This was the first time he had seen a woman eat so much. He thought he had seen many women, but he had never seen a woman like Qu Qing Ju, whose chopsticks were so precise, her wrists so strong, and her hands so fast.
At the end, she dipped another mouthful of mushroom and swallowed it before Qu Qing Ju put down her chopsticks. After rinsing her mouth and washing her hands, she remarked: "It's been a long time since I've eaten so freely. Did qie scare wang ye?"
He Heng was wiping his hands at this time. Hearing this, he responded: "Seeing wang fei's appetite is so good, ben wang is reassured. Since you like hotpot, let the kitchen make more in the future."
"For qie, something like hotpot, it doesn't taste good if you eat it often, but if you don't eat it for a long time, the smell will make my mouth water. A few days ago, my body hadn't recovered and I didn't dare to use these things. Now I finally have an idea. " Taking the handkerchief that Yu Zan presented and wiping her hands, Qu Qing Ju stood and asked He Heng, "Is wang ye willing to walk with qie?"
"After using so many things, it's time to walk," He Heng also stood and reached out a hand to Qu Qing Ju, "Qing Ju, follow me."
Qu Qing Ju smiled as she gave her hand to the other. The other's warm palm perfectly wrapped around her hand. She moved, causing the two's hands to interlock. She smiled as she looked at He Heng, commenting, "Some say, ten fingers interlocked, until the hair turns white."
He Heng smiled warmly and tightened his grip on her hand. The two held hands as they walked out of zhengyuan. Behind them, a string of servants followed, illuminating the path in the night.
Qu Qing Ju looked regretfully at the dark night sky: "The summer nights are better. Even if you can't see the moon, you can see many stars." Didn't you think she was a naive and sweet young girl? Then jie will play with you, talk about the stars, the moon, poetry and songs.
"Today is the second of the month, naturally you can't see the moon. But the moon in winter is also very beautiful," He Heng followed Qu Qing Ju's movements and raised his head. He then looked at Qu Qing Ju and said, "But the winter nights are cold so most people ignore it."
Qu Qing Ju's eyebrows moved slightly. When she looked at He Heng, her face was full of smiles: "Most people like beautiful things, like the moon and stars in summer and autumn, flowers in spring, and plum blossoms in winter. Qie isn't any different from these people. I'm used to liking things that everyone appreciates. "
He Heng looked at the smile at the corner of Qu Qing Ju's mouth and his heart moved. He then moved his gaze away and felt his throat itch. He held the person's hand as they slowly walked forward. On the blue stone path, the sound of light footsteps came.
"There are many common people in the world, I can't escape." He tilted his head to smile at Qu Qing Ju. This smile was cultured and elegant, unspeakably beautiful.
Some people said, when a man and a woman walked hand in hand, if the man always walked at a brisk pace, it meant that the man didn't know what love was. Qu Qing Ju looked at the man who walked shoulder to shoulder with her. Inside, she thought, even if a man always took care of a woman's steps, it didn't mean that he loved this woman. It could also mean that this man was a saint of love, and understood a woman's thoughts.
The two walked for almost an hour in the fu. Just as they were preparing to leave, they encountered Feng Zi Jin who was wearing a light-colored cloak.
Feng Zi Jin looked at the hands of the two clasped together. She pressed her lips together and bowed: "Nu greets wang ye, wang fei."
"It's so late. You aren't resting in your room, what are you doing here?" He Heng finished speaking and turned to take the cloak from Mu Jin's hands to put it on for Qu Qing Ju.
Qu Qing Ju took this chance to examine Feng Zi Jin. The other was holding a palace lantern with the image of Chang'e flying to the moon. Behind her were two little yahuan. These two yahuan were carrying two small baskets.
"Wang ye, the winter nights are long. Nu sleeps late and wanted to walk in the garden," Feng Zi Jin lowered her face, "I didn't think I would encounter wang ye and wang fei."
His clean and round fingers quickly tied the cloak. He Heng looked at the two little yahuan behind Feng Zi Jin. He looked at the paper boats and candles in the baskets and faintly said, "Since the winter is cold, stay in the yard. It's almost the New Year, it's not good to be sick."
"Nu thanks wang ye for his concern," Feng Zi Jin smiled, "It's just that I remembered the paper boats that wang ye and I used to put out. Since I couldn't sleep at night, I wanted to put a few in the lotus pond to play. Nu is wearing thick clothes and will return after a while."
She had heard that she and He Heng were strolling in the garden and had specially brought props to reminisce with He Heng? Qu Qing Ju curled her lips in a smile, "These boats are folded very beautifully. But if you soak them all night, they won't look good tomorrow morning. In my opinion, wang ye should get someone to make a gold boat for Feng ce fei. It won't break no matter what you do. "
"It's just a small toy, you think so seriously," He Heng looked at the servants behind him who were carrying the lanterns. It wasn't easy for Feng shi to coincidentally encounter so many people carrying lanterns. He had an interest in teasing women, but he didn't want to see women use things from the past to ask for favor. This Feng shi was becoming more and more ridiculous.
"The digestion is almost complete. Let's go back. It's going to be foggy soon," He Heng gripped Qu Qing Ju's hand again. He looked at Feng Zi Jin who had retreated to one side and unhesitatingly led the others away.
Feng Zi Jin looked in disbelief at the backs of He Heng and Qu Qing Ju. She didn't believe that wang ye would just walk away. Was it that what she had done wasn't enough to evoke his past memories?
Just at this time, she saw Qu Qing Ju turn her head, a faint smile on her face. She suddenly stilled, a strange chill rising up her back.
The biggest difference between men and women was that men were always good at forgetting the good things of women, and women were always good at remembering the good things of men. So when a woman treated a man, she shouldn't always be good. If she was too good, he would take it for granted and forget what the woman had done. To want a man to always remember you, you first had to always remember yourself. If you lost yourself, how could you hope for others to remember you?
A few days later, Qu Qing Ju received a gift. An Eight Treasures glass lamp. If this lamp was lit at night, it would be possible to see the moonlight and star-like light shining around the room. It was unspeakably beautiful.
Listening to the exclamations of the servants around her, Qu Qing Ju smiled faintly as she looked at the Eight Treasures glass lamp on the gold-plated and pearl-inlaid lamp stand. The joy in her eyes was just right.
Closing her eyes, Qu Qing Ju pointed in a direction: "Put the lamp over there."
The servants carefully put the lamp in place, the amazement in their eyes still hadn't faded.
"Wang fei, this place might be good, but there are always people coming in and out. It wouldn't be good if it bumped or bumped," Mu Jin hesitated, "Why don't we put it in the stores. When wang fei wants to see it, nubi can take it out."
"Isn't the lamp meant to be used?" Qu Qing Ju smiled as she looked at the swaying dots of light in the surroundings, "I like this lamp very much. It would be a pity not to put it here and look at it every day."
"Nubi understands," Mu Jin didn't say more. She docilely stood behind Qu Qing Ju, her attitude respectful but not fawning.
The news that wang ye had gifted wang fei a precious Eight Treasures glass lamp quickly spread through the entire wang fu. The servants who had seen the lamp talked about it as though the lamp was their own. Their eyebrows flew up and down as they enjoyed the story.
Feng Zi Jin smashed a lot of things in her room. She wanted to rush to zhengyuan and smash that lamp. Qu Qing Ju, that whore, wasn't it just a broken lamp. Did she have to let the servants spread the news to the entire fu, as though she wanted it?
Smashing another piece of porcelain, Feng Zi Jin panted as she looked at the yahuan at the door. She said harshly: "What is it?!"
The little yahuan shrank back and said carefully: "Zhuzi, wang fei has invited you to zhengyuan."
Feng Zi Jin's face darkened. She smoothed the stray hairs on the side of her face, "Have someone come in to serve."
She wanted to see what tricks that whore was playing!
