Transmigrating into a short-lived cannon fodder, she beat the son of destiny to pieces
Chapter 42: The Infatuated Emperor and His Love-Brained Concubine (41)
Sui Ning raised her leg and kicked Xiao Huai hard out.
"Oh!"
Xiao Huai was not on guard against Sui Ning and fell heavily.
Seeing that Sui Ning was staggering and about to attack again, Xiao Huai had no choice but to press Sui Ning's sleeping point first.
early morning.
The sun was rising, and the clouds on the horizon were dyed with a light red morning glow.
The warm sunlight penetrated the window lattices of the East Palace and slanted into the bedroom, falling on Xiao Huai's slightly flushed face.
Xiao Huai grabbed the quilt and suddenly woke up from his sleep.
He was breathing rapidly, his hair was soaked with sweat, and the redness on his cheeks extended to his neck.
Xiao Huai lowered his eyes, his mind filled with beautiful scenes from his dream.
Ambiguous lighting, an inappropriate bed, inappropriate actions, and the person who shouldn't be there...
Ever since Sui Ning got drunk that day, he had been having those extremely absurd dreams for several days in a row.
At first, he was filled with shame and anger.
He couldn't and shouldn't have such dirty thoughts about Sui Ning!
She should be sacred and inviolable, how could he desecrate her like this?!
But the dream was not under his control, so he didn't know how to face Sui Ning these days.
Falling into the dream again, Xiao Huai felt helpless and ashamed, and began to give up on himself.
He even began to have greedy fantasies, maybe... Sui Ning could accept him?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Xiao Huai's delusions began to spiral out of control.
But he knew that there was a huge gap between him and Sui Ning.
Sui Ning knows everything about him, and one can even say that everything he has now is given by her.
But he knew nothing about Sui Ning.
Xiao Huai got up from the bed in annoyance and asked someone to prepare water for bathing.
Eunuch Fu served Xiao Huai, so he naturally knew everything about him. Now, seeing Xiao Huai remove the quilt and use cold water for bathing, his heart was already calm.
Just the aunt's smile on his face showed that Eunuch Fu was in a good mood at the moment.
After Xiao Huai finished bathing, Eunuch Fu came forward and asked, "Your Highness, today is the Lantern Festival. Which outfit are you going to wear?"
When Xiao Huai heard Eunuch Fu mention the Lantern Festival, he realized that he and Sui Ning had already made an appointment to go to the lantern festival together on the Lantern Festival.
Because of that dream, I have been feeling so confused these days that I even forgot about important things!
Looking at the several new robes in front of him, Xiao Huai began to feel conflicted.
This moon-white, round-necked, wide-sleeved brocade robe is fresh and elegant, but will it make you look a little dull when you wear it?
This crimson robe with wide sleeves and python pattern is bright and eye-catching, but I wonder if it is too feminine?
This black and gold-thread bamboo gown is embroidered with Sui Ning's favorite bamboo, but does it look a bit old-fashioned?
Xiao Huai's brows were furrowed so tightly that he could almost pinch a fly to death.
For the first time, he found choosing clothes so difficult.
"Eunuch Fu, which dress do you think is more suitable for me to wear?"
Eunuch Fu replied with a discerning look, "These clothes were recently made by the embroiderer. Your Highness is so imposing and handsome, and these are perfect for him."
"But just now on my way here, I heard the maid in Miss Sui Ning's courtyard mention that Miss Sui Ning was planning to wear a moon-white Mozhu long skirt."
Hearing this, Xiao Huai immediately made a decision, "Then let's go with this."
Night falls.
Xiao Huai changed into the dark blue long gown with gold-thread bamboo detail and stood nervously at the gate of Sui Ning's courtyard, waiting.
After a while, Sui Ning, wearing a moon-white long bamboo dress, walked slowly towards him in the moonlight with a smile on her face. She looked cool and otherworldly, like a fairy in the moon.
At this moment Xiao Huai figured it out.
He has never been a shy person. Now that he has made his mind clear, he will just go with the flow.
Even if Sui Ning doesn't accept it at first, he can wait until the day Sui Ning sees him.
Lantern Festival.
The trees are full of fire and the flowers are silver, and the iron locks of the star bridge are opened.
During the Lantern Festival, thousands of bright lanterns are hung high on the streets, shining brightly and dazzlingly.
At this moment, even the stars in the sky cannot compare to it.
There was a huge crowd of people, no matter they were princes and nobles or peddlers, all gathered for the Lantern Festival, and the streets were deserted.
The lively scene is no less than last New Year's Eve.
"Don't miss it if you pass by, guess the riddle and you'll get a lantern!"
Hearing the vendors' shouts, many young men and women rushed to the street.
Sui Ning and Xiao Huai also joined in the fun.
I saw that the hanging lanterns of various colors were covered with riddles.
The young men and women who were guessing the riddles also began to show off their talents with all their might.
Xiao Huai looked at the Bamboo Shadow Thousand Mountain Lantern on the stall. A green bamboo was printed on the delicate and transparent glass, which looked beautiful and elegant under the light.
"Wait a moment, sister."
Seeing that Xiao Huai was eager to try, Sui Ning stood aside and watched the fun.
But green bamboo has been sought after by literati and poets since ancient times, so there are many people who want this bamboo shadow thousand mountain lamp.
The riddle of this lantern is "Looking north at the green mountains, the people here have been simple and honest for thousands of years; looking east at the white water, this place is full of fairy spirit."
Everyone was talking about it, but no one could give the correct answer.
After a brief thought, Xiao Huai replied, "Every man has his own opinion."
"Congratulations, sir, you got the answer right!"
The riddle of this lantern was difficult, so the vendor's call immediately attracted the attention of people around.
There were many envious and jealous looks among them, but Xiao Huai didn't care and went straight to ask the vendor for the lantern.
Xiao Huai was just about to go look for Sui Ning when he was stopped by a woman in pink.
The girl looked to be no more than 28 years old. She was holding a rabbit lantern in her hand and looking at Xiao Huai with a blushing face, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
Xiao Huai frowned, a little impatient, "Please make way, young lady."
"Sir, wait a minute." The pink-dressed girl's ears suddenly blushed, and she hesitantly asked, "Sir, would you be willing to exchange lanterns with me?"
The Lantern Festival in the Great Xiao Dynasty has always had an established custom.
On this day, young men and women who are in love can give each other lanterns to express their feelings.
If the other person accepts your lantern, it means that he or she accepts your inner confession.
After the Lantern Festival, men can go directly to the house to propose marriage.
Xiao Huai immediately frowned and refused without hesitation: "No."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Huai would refuse so directly. The woman in pink's eyes instantly turned red. She left a word "sorry for disturbing you" and ran away quickly.
After solving the "trouble", Xiao Huai immediately walked towards where Sui Ning was.
However, Sui Ning's situation at this moment is no better than Xiao Huai's.
In front of Sui Ning, a handsome young man asked with a warm smile, "Miss, would you accept my lantern?"
It turned out that the crowd was crowded just now and the young man was almost pushed down, and Sui Ning helped him up.
But it was this support that made the young man stunned for a moment.
No matter what, I will repay Sui Ning for saving my life.
Sui Ning felt that the other party was too polite.
"Miss, you don't want my reward, and now you don't even want to accept a lantern?" The young man said with some grievance.
Sui Ning suddenly felt a headache and was about to take the lantern from the young man.
At this time, Xiao Huai's voice was heard, "Ningning!"
Xiao Huai pushed the young man away without leaving a trace, and with a smile, stuffed the Green Bamboo Thousand Mountains Lamp he had just received into Sui Ning's hand.
"Ningning, this is the lantern I won for you. It's for you."
After saying this, he seemed to have just noticed the young man beside Sui Ning, and with a look of surprise on his face, he asked, "Who is this young man?"
