Chapter 89

Only then did Fu Changxi remember that Zhen Tingyun had just finished the exam. Seeing her face pale, she felt distressed, and took a soft pillow and handed it over: "There is still a long way to go from here to leave the courtyard, so you can rest for a while?"

Zhen Tingyun took the soft pillow but just held it in his arms, then looked around in the carriage, his eyes quickly fell on Fu Changxi.

Only then did she notice that Fu Changxi was wearing a royal dress, and on the red robe was a four-clawed dragon embroidered with gold thread. His long black hair was tied up by a golden crown, and his face was as handsome as he remembered, almost perfect and flawless, and he couldn't even see the traces of the years.

Even, because of the hair on the robe, his whole person looks more solemn and solemn than usual, and his dignity is self-evident.

Such a person is always the most eye-catching presence in the crowd at any time, like an unsheathed sword, extremely sharp, giving people an incomparably huge sense of distance and an incomparably terrifying pressure.

Zhen Tingyun looked at it, couldn't help snorting, hugged the pillow, and asked him, "You just came out of the palace?"

Fu Changxi did not hide it from her, and nodded slightly.

Speaking of the palace, Zhen Tingyun naturally quickly remembered Empress Dowager Zheng's inexplicable malice towards her, so he asked tentatively, "Are you going to the Ci'en Palace?"

Seeing her so interested, Fu Changxi simply said: "There is a banquet in the Chongyang Palace, so the Queen Mother specifically asked me if I would like to prepare a seat for you."

Thinking of Empress Dowager Zheng, who hides a knife in her smile and is full of malice, Zhen Tingyun intuitions that all the hair on her body is about to stand up. She widens her eyes and says vigilantly, "Then what do you say?"

Fu Changxi didn't take Empress Dowager Zheng to heart, but seeing her so vigilant, he comforted her with a warm voice: "Didn't you say last time that you don't want to participate in the palace banquet again? I declined for you."

After a pause, Fu Changxi glanced at Zhen Tingyun and added: "So, I sent someone to Zhen's house ahead of time to say that I will pick you up for dinner at Xishan Courtyard today, which is considered to make up for the meal on Chongyang day in advance."

In fact, since Zhen Tingyun didn't go to the Chongyang Palace Banquet, Fu Changxiyuan didn't want to go either. But this time, it was a separate banquet in the harem of the previous dynasty. Not only the Empress Dowager Zheng, but even the little emperor had to come forward. If he, as the regent, did not go, he would be absent, and he would have to be referred to a few books by the old-fashioned officials below. Said he was 'no king in sight' and 'intentionally wrong'.

So, can only rush over to pick up his little girl. Taking advantage of this time, take her to another courtyard, and the two of them have a meal together, which not only makes up for the meal in Chongyang, but also solves these problems. Acacia pain of time.

It's a pity that Zhen Tingyun didn't understand Fu Changxi's painstaking efforts at all. Instead, he eagerly grabbed his sleeve and asked him, "Are there any crabs?"

She raised her head to look at the person, her eyes sparkling like a lake where stars fell.

Fu Changxi was helpless and amused, so he nodded slightly: "Well, yes."

Hearing about crabs, Zhen Tingyun was overjoyed, grabbed Fu Changxi's sleeve and confessed, "I know you know me best, sir, and love me the most! I've really wanted to eat crabs for a long time! Sir, you are so kind! !"

Fu Changxi listened to her series of sweet words, and did not correct the few "sir" under her joy. He just thought casually: At this time, Qiu Crab is the most plump, and the capital is rich. Chrysanthemums and crabs are eaten, so crabs in Beijing are also expensive for a while. Given the Zhen family's background, it's not that they can't afford crabs, but I'm afraid there aren't any good crabs, and they can't eat a few meals. So, should he ask someone to pick a few more baskets of crabs and send them to Zhen's house - since she likes it, she can't just eat it, right?

However, Fu Changxi quickly rejected the idea again: Forget it, sending too much is not beautiful. Zhen Tingyun will only have three days off this time, and she will not be able to eat much if she sends too much. Instead, it is cheaper for the Zhen family. . It would be better to send a basket, all as bait for fishing, and when the Chongyang Palace banquet is over, ask her to come out and eat crabs with you...

Fu Changxi had all kinds of thoughts in his heart, but his face was not obvious, but his face was still handsome and his expression was cold and solemn.

Zhen Tingyun heard that he was going to eat crabs, and all his illnesses disappeared for a while, and he immediately put the pillow in his arms on Fu Changxi's lap.

Then, under Fu Changxi's surprised eyes, she unceremoniously leaned her head up - although she felt a little pissed off or killed, but she wanted to press Fu Changxi to rest!

Fu Changxi was stunned, his face seemed to be blank for a moment, but he still didn't stop her movement, instead he let her put the pillow on top of it with connivance.

When Zhen Tingyun lay down, he tentatively reached out and touched her dark hair on the temples. Seeing that she only closed her eyes, he didn't seem angry, and suddenly he remembered that he was raised in the yard of the royal palace in Beijiang. of furry.

Since the two are about to get engaged, they will definitely still live together in the future, and family conflicts must be resolved in advance.

Fu Changxi gently stroked the girl's green temples with the palm of his hand, and when his fingertips touched the soft and cold hair, he subconsciously curled up, his movements even more gentle. He asked tentatively, "Do you like cats?"

Zhen Tingyun closed his eyes and rested, and when he heard the words, he answered vaguely, "It's okay if you're cute."

Fu Changxi recalled the cats he kept, and felt that the fluffy cats were not ugly at all, so he continued, "What about the dogs?"

Zhen Tingyun closed his eyes, his black eyelashes seemed to be butterfly wings resting on a flower leaf, and moved gently. Her voice sounded soft: "Dogs only like cute ones, I don't like big dogs or wild dogs."

Fu Changxi thought about the majestic black mastiff he kept in the backyard of the Northern Xinjiang, and said euphemistically, "What about the black mastiff? Actually, I think it is similar to your Malan head, both of which are black and black. Very gentle and smart..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that Zhen Tingyun, who was leaning on his lap, had turned his head, opened his eyes, and looked directly at him.

Fu Changxi suddenly felt unable to speak.

Zhen Tingyun then asked: "So, you have a black mastiff?"

Fu Changxi nodded.

Zhen Tingyun thought about it for a while, and felt that although he didn't like that kind of black, strong, and somewhat scary dogs, it was Fu Changxi who raised them. So, Zhen Tingyun closed his eyes again and said, "Then you raise it."

After a pause, she seemed to realize something, her eyes widened suddenly, and she stared at Fu Changxi: "Besides cats and dogs, what else do you keep?"

Fu Changxi suddenly felt a little guilty, so he could only reply vaguely: "... Guess?"

Zhen Tingyun sat up straight, pulled out the soft pillow and threw it directly on Fu Changxi: "You said before that you wouldn't lie to me! Still guessing? Hurry up!"

Fu Changxi is like a bastard who loves too many pets. He can only think of the most beloved ones, so he can only think back and say: "Well, there are two cats, a black mastiff, a fox, and a Haidong. Qing, there is also a wolf..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhen Tingyun was so angry that he couldn't help grabbing the pillow and hitting him.

I'm so mad at her - after getting married, people have to think about how to deal with their in-laws, how to compete with the concubines and other favors... In the end, it was her turn, there was no in-laws and no concubines, only a yard of furry!

Zhen Tingyun wondered if he was also furry, or why would Fu Changxi take a fancy to him?

Just thinking about it, Fu Changxi added fuel to the fire: "...Actually, the fox I raised is quite cute, silver-white, and a bit like you."

Zhen Tingyun: "..."

Ah, ah, ah, mad at her!

Fortunately, Zhen Tingyun still didn't get angry for a long time, and soon he was angrily hugging the soft pillow and laying down on Fu Changxi's lap again, humming: "Don't disturb me, I'll call after I sleep for a while. I."

When she spoke, she was a little angry, and her voice was faintly nasal, not like she was angry, but more like coquettish, soft and soft. In addition, she happened to be lying on Fu Changxi's knee, and as the carriage bumped against his knee, the rubbing made his knee slightly itchy.

Fu Changxi's Adam's apple moved slightly, pursed his lips subconsciously, and did not speak - he was afraid that the moment he opened his mouth, his strangeness would be revealed.

The reason why Zhen Tingyun can stay up late to read books without distractions is mainly because she is young and has good physical strength, and she has a good ability to sleep when she wants to sleep - no matter how long she stays up, she only needs to put her head on the pillow and close her eyes. He can dream of Duke Zhou with just enough effort, and he has never encountered Du Qingqing's so-called insomnia. Even now, lying in the carriage, leaning against Fu Changxi, she just closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.

Fu Changxi was distracted for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he could already hear Zhen Tingyun's well-proportioned and quiet breathing, and the heart that he had been holding on seemed to be relieved.

However, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Zhen Tingyun's face. She turned her head to the side when she fell asleep, most of her face was sunk in the soft pillow, but the small half that was exposed was snow-white and soft. , shining white, and her lips are surprisingly pale.

Fu Changxi couldn't help thinking: lost so much weight, and face is not good, must have stayed up late!

When she wakes up, let's talk about her - she lives alone in a women's school, and no one cares or serves her. If she doesn't even pay attention to herself, she stays up all night, especially if she hasn't caught up with her grades. Broke your body?

Besides, she's just a little girl who is not as tall as her. She's so small and her body hasn't grown yet. What if she stays up too late and doesn't grow taller?

For a moment, Fu Changxi felt the same sadness as an old father.

When the worry was over, his thoughts drifted away again, and he reached out his hand subconsciously and gently touched Zhen Tingyun's cheek, casually sketching her soft lips, and it seemed that he could still feel it in his fingertips. The other party's warm breath, like a small flame, sizzled, burning his fingertips to the point of pain.

Fu Changxi felt that the heartbeat in his chest seemed to be missing a beat, he couldn't help sighing, and had to remind himself that she was still two years away.

So, Fu Changxi moved his hand away from her cheek, and only lightly stroked the slightly messy sideburns, as if he wanted to help her smooth out those disobedient broken hair.

Because he was afraid of waking Zhen Tingyun, Fu Changxi's movements were extremely light, like a miser guarding the treasure house, quietly wiping the only and most precious treasure in the library with a flannel.

 …

When the carriage arrived at the Western Hills Courtyard, the golden crow on the horizon was about to fall to the west, and most of the sky was red.

Fu Changxi sat on the carriage and looked at Zhen Tingyun, who was sleeping soundly. Although he couldn't bear to wake her up, he still reached out and gently poked her cheek: "Here!"

Zhen Tingyun said something vaguely.

Fu Changxi couldn't hear clearly, so he could only lean over slightly.

Because of his leaning over, the black hair fell from his shoulder and brushed past Zhen Tingyun's cheek.

Some cool, some itchy.

Zhen Tingyun fell into a daze, and subconsciously reached out to grab, only to catch a few strands of silky and cold black hair, and murmured a few words vaguely.

Fu Changxi sighed and had to lean over, put him in her ear, and reminded her softly, "You're in another courtyard, don't sleep, and accompany me in to eat crabs."

eat! crab! crab!

These three words were like flames, and with a sigh, Zhen Tingyun's sleepy brain was quickly blown up.

Zhen Tingyun's eyes widened all of a sudden, and there was energy on his face!

Seeing this, Fu Changxi couldn't help laughing, and while she was still confused when she woke up, he gently rubbed her soft cheeks with his fingertips, and said with a smile, "Do you really like eating crabs so much?"
