Lock Xin

The sky was a little gloomy, and the sunset glow gradually disappeared in the sky, leaving a faint red halo in the sky.A faint candle was lit on the table, flickering under the cold wind blowing.

Zi Xin got up and stood by the table, a thin lavender coat was covered over a blue blouse, and the cuffs were embroidered with exquisite patterns, which further showed his noble temperament.Zi Xin looked out of the window in the distance with a slightly cold face.

Yeluning pushed open the door and saw Zixin's tall figure and clean and clean face, he couldn't help but stop, and blurted out, "Zixin is so beautiful." His little beauty was indeed even more beautiful in Hun costumes.

Zixin frowned slightly, suppressing the displeasure in his heart, and turned to Yeluning, "My lord, it's getting late, let's go."

Yeluning approached Zi Xin and looked at those pink lips, he couldn't help taking a step closer, he raised his hand to hold Zi Xin's wrist.Seeing the face close at hand, Zi Xin took half a step back, "The lord doesn't want all the ministers to wait for the two of us."

"It's okay to let them wait a while." Yeluning said with a smile, if the beauty could let go of his guard now, he wouldn't have to work so hard to restrain himself.

Yeluning turned around and looked at the table, his face was a little gloomy, "Did Zixin forget something?"

Zixin's eyes were blank. He searched around and found nothing abnormal, so he shook his head slowly.

"Zixin, don't you remember this string of bracelets?" Yeluning picked up the colorful bracelets on the table and said word by word.This string of bracelets is the personal belongings of the princesses of all dynasties. Once taken off, it means that they will be deposed, so they cannot stay with the lord.

"I forgot to put it on this morning." Zixin recalled, he reached out to take the chain from Yeluning's hand, but Yeluning avoided it.

The look on Yeluning's face softened, he would rather that Zi Xin had really forgotten it than deliberately not to wear it, "This bracelet is my blessing to Zi Xin, I hope Zi Xin can stay by my side forever, You must not take it off no matter what." Yeluning grabbed Zi Xin's wrist and put the bracelet on.

Zi Xin nodded, he naturally knew the importance of this bracelet, otherwise the maid beside him would not remind him to wear it every day.

Yeluning held Zi Xin's palm and walked side by side to the distant corridor. He looked at the indifferent faces of the people beside him, and persuaded, "The officials at today's dinner party are very happy. If they see the princess with a sullen face, I can't enjoy myself at the dinner party anymore."

"If Zixin says she doesn't want to go now, there's still time." Yeluning stopped and looked at Zixin's face a little nervously. If Zixin turned around and walked back to the room now, he really didn't know what to do.

Zixin forced a smile on his face, Yeluning's king of the Huns, how could he appear alone in front of everyone, even if he was wayward and ignorant, he would give Yeluning a face.

Seeing the smile on Zi Xin's face, Ye Luning couldn't help stretching out his hand to stop Zi Xin's slender waist. It seems that his hard work these days has not been in vain, and Zi Xin still has a good impression of him.

Zixin walked up the steps with Yeluning. He watched all the ministers below him stare at him, either cold or sarcastic. His face was a little stiff, and his hands could not help but clenched a little.

"Zi Xin is my only princess, they must respect you." Ye Luning whispered in Zi Xin's ear, and he patted Zi Xin's palm slightly.

Yeluning stretched out his hand to signal the ministers to sit down and drink to their heart's content. After he sat on the high seat, the ministers sat down one after another. In the silent open space, there was a noisy sound of clinking glasses of wine, toasting and punching.

Yeluning poured a glass of wine and handed it to Zi Xin, "Will Zi Xin taste the fine wine from the Western Regions?"

Zi Xin nodded and took it, but Yeluning did not let go, "The wine is a bit strong, and I may not be used to it just now, Zi Xin just tasted a little."

Ye Luning really hoped to get Zi Xin drunk so that he could undress and eat tofu for him when Zi Xin was unconscious, but since he had prepared a surprise for Zi Xin, he hoped that Zi Xin could see it with his own eyes.

Zi Xin took a sip, feeling a sharp pain in his throat, he couldn't help lowering his head and coughing softly.Yeluning stretched out his hand to caress Zixin's back, and when Zixin eased up a bit, he took a cup beside him and fed it to the people around him.

Zi Xin shook his head, stretched out his hand and pushed it away, he didn't want to try that throat-piercing feeling again.

"This is fruit wine from the Western Regions. It's not spicy at all. It can relieve the pain in your throat a little bit." Yeluning looked at the faint blush on Zixin's cheeks, and his heart skipped a beat. If the beauty drank the wine in the glass just now , perhaps now has fallen in his arms.

Zi Xin licked it with the tip of his tongue, it was sour and sweet, he raised his hand to drink it, and there was a faint fragrance in his mouth.

"Zixin eats some vegetables. Just drinking alcohol will hurt your health." Yeluning picked up some vegetables with chopsticks and put them in Zixin's bowl.In his diary, he recorded Zixin's favorite dishes, and specially ordered the cook to add some Central Plains dishes on the table, otherwise the beauty would not be used to barbecue and would be hungry all the time.

Zi Xin put a piece of green vegetables into his mouth, he looked at the ministers who were mixed together in the distance, as if they didn't fit in with them, there was a trace of surprise in his eyes, could it be that the Xiongnu banquet was so rude. "My lord, won't there be ministers toasting us?"

"There will be, but not at the beginning of the banquet." Yeluning always drank lightly. The officials were used to seeing the Lord's indifferent refusal, and they gradually stopped hitting the wall. Occasionally, a few ministers who came to congratulate did not dare Persuade Yeluning to drink.

"Does Zixin feel bored sitting here?" Yeluning watched as Zixin put down his chopsticks and sat aside, his face still indifferent. The purpose of waiting for the beauty to attend the banquet is to make the beauty happy. If the beauty keeps silent, it is better to advance leave the table.

Yeluning clapped her hands softly, and a row of brightly dressed blonde beauties stood in the center of the open space, dancing the dance of the Western Regions.

"Does Zi Xin like them?" Yeluning looked indifferently at the alluring beauty in front of him, poured a glass of fruit wine and brought it to Zi Xin.

"I don't like it." Zi Xin shook his head, he looked at the people in the distance and seemed to ignore Zi Xin's arm that had been caressing his waist.

He is not those lustful corrupt officials, why would he like these scantily clad women.

"Zi Xin doesn't like women from the Western Regions, so does Zi Xin like people from the Central Plains?" Yeluning asked tentatively, since he knew that Zi Xin had never liked anyone in the Central Plains.

Yeluning tapped the table lightly, and the curly-haired woman stepped back quickly, and two fair-skinned Central Plains women dressed in tulle walked in slowly.

"Why should I like them?" Zi Xin frowned slightly, perhaps in his eyes those dancing girls were no different from his father's concubines, with delicate voices, beautiful faces, and hearts like snakes and scorpions.

There was a smile on Yeluning's face, and he gently approached Zi Xin's face, as long as Zi Xin didn't like women, maybe Zi Xin would fall in love with him after a while.

Seeing a figure approaching in the distance, Yeluning's face changed slightly. He reached out and shook Zi Xin's arm, "Zi Xin feed me vegetables."

Facing Mu Qi's relentless pursuit, Ye Luning has no choice but to hope that Mu Qi can give up as soon as possible after seeing the cruel truth.

Zixin looked at Yeluning indifferently and did not make any moves. He can only do not hate Yeluning now, but it is a bit embarrassing to be so close to him.

"Zixin just pretend to feed her." Yeluning looked a little anxious, if Mu Qi saw Zixin's expression at this moment, she might not let go.

Facing Mu Qi who admired him since childhood, Ye Luning felt a lot of guilt, but he already had a figure in his heart, and he really couldn't give Mu Qi everything he wanted. He hoped that Mu Qi could really let go of him and find a lover. The people she lives with all her life.

Without thinking too much, Zi Xin took a slice of green pepper and fed it to Yeluning.Yeluning held it in his mouth, but he didn't swallow it for a long time, his expression was a little strange, "Is Zixin taking the opportunity to take revenge on me?"

"Didn't the lord let me grab a piece of vegetable at will?" Zi Xin opened his mouth and said, there was no strange expression on his face.

In the distance is a pale green figure, with pale yellow curly hair hanging behind him, his front skirt slightly lowered, revealing a large expanse of fair skin and a faint towering chest.She looked at the two people who were close to each other in the distance, her eyebrows were wrinkled together, and she tightly clenched the sleeves of her shirt.

Mu Qi strode over, "I've seen you, my lord." She gave Zi Xin a vicious look, and said angrily.

"Xiaoqi, get up quickly." Yeluning held Zi Xin's fingertips under her sleeve.

"Mu Qi respects the princess." Mu Qi handed the wine glass to Zi Xin. She looked at Zi Xin's hesitant expression and showed a cold smile.

"I'll drink it for the princess." Ye Luning reached out to take the wine glass, but Mu Qi raised his hand to avoid it. The wine was very strong, and he didn't want Zi Xin to get drunk all of a sudden, so he wouldn't have the chance to see his intentions.

"It is said that people from the Central Plains are very delicate. Could it be that the princess is not as good as a woman like me as a man?" Mu Qi raised her head and drank it. The taste was sour and sweet. She looked at the flagon in front of her in surprise.

"People in the Central Plains pay attention to humility, and I am a man, how can I compare with a woman." Zi Xin drank the fruit wine in the glass.

Seeing that Zixin didn't feel anything strange, Yeluning breathed a sigh of relief, and took the pot of wine in front of him before Mu Qi.

"Miss, Prince Mu has something to do with you." The attendants from a distance rushed over, if the lady bumped into the lord, the lord might not be able to save the lady.

Mu Qi opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she looked at Yeluning's slightly cold face, and slowly closed her mouth, the days are coming, she doesn't believe that Zi Xin can stay by Brother Ning's side for the rest of her life.

"King Mu is in a hurry to find you." The entourage rushed to Mu Qi's side.

Mu Qi gave Zi Xin a cold look, turned and left.

"The temperament of Xiongnu women is not so bold, and their jealous temperament is also a bit worse than that of Central Plains women." Central Plains people are reserved and will never show jealousy on their faces.

Zixin seemed to vaguely understand the reason why Yeluning didn't marry Mu Qi. If she married such a jealous woman, it would be enough for Yeluning.

"Let's sit down." Yeluning patted Zi Xin on the shoulder, and he looked into the distance with some concern. Just now, Mu Qi looked at Zi Xin with hatred, which made him very unhappy.In the future, he should try his best to avoid Mu Qi from getting in touch with Zi Xin.
