Two hundred and sixty kites(1/2)
Xie Ning calmed down and stopped moving.
Let the Emperor hold it like this.
This attitude gave her a strange experience.
The emperor's head rested on her legs and his ears were against her belly.
It's still early now, Xie Ning thought, it's still early and he can't hear anything.
If there is any movement, it will take four or five months to go. At that time, the child must have had trouble and kicked inside and turned over.
Now the emperor should not hear anything.
No, maybe you can hear it.
Can you hear her heartbeat?
Xie Ning gently placed his hand on the emperor's head and slowly stroked his head and neck inch by inch.
The emperor must be very tired.
This tour was very hurrying. When Xie Ning was on the imperial boat, he was busy and had no time to enjoy the scenery while he was having fun on the imperial boat. Later, when he met an assassin, Xie Ning simply stayed in Changyi. The emperor was running for a long distance in just a few days, just to get Changyi to come early.
And along the way, the emperor slept very late every night and got up early in the morning.
He seemed to have never rested for a moment, and he was always tense, like a spinning top that was spinning continuously.
Xie Ning stroked him like this, and a feeling of pity that made her feel overwhelmed.
In the past, she looked up to the emperor. The emperor was so noble and so arrogant. Later, the emperor treated her well, and gradually felt that she had stood up and could look at her with the emperor.
But now, she was looking down at this man.
Perhaps others only saw this dragon robe and the wise and magical martial arts that the emperor had always shown to others.
But he is also alone after all, he will be tired and weak, right?
Others can't hold on, so they can take a break. Anyway, there are tall men holding on to the sky. Who else is missing in this world? Doesn't the sun rise and fall the same?
But the emperor is different.
He had no one to rely on. There was a traitor in the imperial guards. He must be restless now. He will be unable to stand up during the day and hold on at night. Even the iron-killing person can't stand it.
Xie Ning found a deep vertical mark on his eyebrows.
He must have frown a lot these days.
Xie Ning felt that he did look much haggard than he had been the previous few days.
Xie Ning asked softly: "What did the emperor and the eldest prince say? I looked at him as if I had figured it out."
The emperor did not speak out.
"emperor?"
Xie Ning lowered her head and found that the emperor was asleep.
I just slept on her legs without any warning.
If you sleep like this, you may get sore waist and numb legs when you get up.
He should be allowed to lie down and sleep well.
But Xie Ning hesitated when he saw the emperor sleeping peacefully.
Do you want to wake him up? It is rare that he can fall asleep so quickly and sleep so heavily.
I'm afraid that he will not be able to sleep like this again if he wakes up.
Xie Ning hesitated for a moment, moved his body gently to change his position, then waved his hand gently, asking Qinghe to hold the quilt over and spread it out and gently cover it for the emperor.
She just stumbled and fell asleep.
Qinghe was a little worried, and then quietly looked at her. The two masters actually fell asleep like this? How could they feel comfortable when they sleep like this?
I don’t know how many times she looked, but I found that the two of them had finally changed their positions. The emperor leaned sideways, and the master was wrapped in his arms by the emperor. The two were still close together.
Qinghe finally breathed a sigh of relief and quietly washed up and lay down her clothes.
When she arrived in the palace, she felt much more at ease. She was not familiar with the place outside and she would always think of the night when the fire broke out, and she couldn't feel at ease.
Finally here.
Qinghe felt that her shoulders were a little cold, so she pulled the clothes covered by her body upwards.
Everything here is familiar to her. Even if there is only a lamp at her feet, she can't see everything in the room clearly, and she feels at ease. The smell, the sound, the light, here she will not worry about burning another fire, or if there is any danger in the dark that will squeeze in through the crack of the window, quietly killing her life.
The emperor slept very well this time, and he woke up late in the morning for the first time.
Since he ascended the throne, there is no need to say that there are days when there are major dynasty meetings. Even if there are no major dynasty meetings, the emperor was used to getting up and practicing swords in the morning, and only stopped when he was sweating slightly. Then he had to write a few more words, which was a habit he had developed since he was a teenager and had not changed for many years.
As a result, when I opened my eyes today, the emperor knew that he was late to wake up.
Usually Bai Hongqi will come to serve him when he is at the right time. He usually asks through the window and then enters the door after hearing the emperor's orders.
There are few emperors who are awakened by him. Bai Hongqi pinched the clock and asked good morning when the emperor was awake.
But today is indeed late, and Bai Hongqi did not make a reminder.
The emperor turned his head and Xie Ning had not woken up yet.
Her hair was half loose, and the emperor found that several strands of hair were pressed by his arms.
He moved his hand gently, afraid of waking her up.
But when the emperor moved, Xie Ning was also alarmed. Her lips pursed slightly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes opened a slit.
The emperor looked at her quietly and gradually woke up from the confusion.
"The emperor is awake too?"
"I just woke up."
Xie Ning was lying there too much trouble moving, and his expression showed a sense of laziness of waking up from spring.
Qinghe heard that there was a sound in the tent just now, but it took a while before the emperor asked someone to serve him. When Qinghe went to serve, she saw that the master's eyes were shining and his lips were red like rouge.
Spring in the capital arrives very late, and the flowers in the imperial garden bloom too late.
Princess Yuyao invited Qiao Shutang and brought Gan Xiyun to fly kites in the imperial garden.
Her kite was only sent today, a big golden butterfly with long soft wings dragged behind it. If she was not careful, she would think it was a phoenix, not a butterfly.
The two eunuchs with quick hands and feet first put the kite up and handed the spool into Princess Yuyao's hands.
The weather is sunny and the wind is strong, and the kite flies very high.
Xie Ning sat in front of the window and could see the kites flying in the sky as soon as he looked up.
When Gan Xiyun was picking up a kite, she picked a swallow. The one was also exquisite, but it looked inconspicuous when compared with a butterfly. Qiao Shutang's kite was an eagle, with a large kite and was moved in by two people when entering the palace.
The kite flew higher and higher, and on the blue sky, it looked smaller than the sesame seeds.
"Master, do you want to go over and see the princess and the others?"
"I won't go." Princess Yuyao and the others were having fun. Once Xie Ning went, they couldn't have fun. Qiao Shutang and Gan Xiyun would definitely feel restrained.
"I can't fly a kite. I can't fly it up, and even if it's ready, it won't fly high. At that time, I always complained that the kite was not done well."
Qinghe asked with a smile: "What about later?"
"Later, my cousin gave me the kite that I flew, and it fell down in a short while. Maybe I was just stupid." Xie Ning said with a smile: "At that time, my aunt laughed at me and said that this was not a bad thing. People often say that kites are not far away and will not marry far away in the future."
Qinghe hurriedly took over the conversation: "No. Now Lord Lin's family lives are close to the palace city."
Xie Ning also smiled: "That's right."
I just want to meet you or wait for the opportunity.
Qinghe looked at her expression and guessed that she must have missed Mrs. Lin.
"My master is pregnant now, so I can ask Mrs. Lin to come to the palace to take care of you. This is not a taboo."
Xie Ning did not answer the conversation, and his eyes moved to the sky outside the window.
There were a few more kites in the sky. Seeing two of them getting closer and closer, Xie Ning yelled: "It's going to hit the line."
Fortunately, I didn't run into it.
Princess Yuyao was sweating and blushing when she came. She must have been having fun just now, and now she looked tired.
Xie Ning quickly asked someone to wipe her sweat and change her clothes, and Qiao Shutang and Gan Xiyun also did the same. Although Princess Yuyao was tired, she was still in good spirits. She asked repeatedly: "Empress, have you seen my butterfly? She flew the highest."
Xie Ning smiled and nodded and said, "I saw it."
Of course, her kite is the highest, because others dare not pass over her.
The warm fruit dew was brought up, and Princess Yuyao took a sip and frowned: "It's so hot, is there anything cold?"
Fang Shanggong whispered: "The princess just sweats, so it's not advisable to eat cold food. If you feel sour, then would you please change the princess to a cup of almond tea?"
"No." Princess Yuyao doesn't like almond tea, and always feels it's too sweet. Compared with almond tea, she would rather tolerate the slight sourness of the fruit dew.
Xie Ning smiled and took a small sip of the fruit dew.
