After crossing the road

July fifteenth.

To be honest, Liu Hanxi was still a little nervous to meet her husband who had been married for nearly half a year but had never met, not to mention feeling guilty and guilty.

"He's not a good guy either!" Before setting off, Liu Hanxi emboldened himself again.

Today, she changed into a palace skirt, which was lotus root and lilac, embroidered with apricot flowers.Jingniang helped comb the lily bun, and put golden steps on the left and right.Gorgeous yet elegant.

She promised Concubine Hui to go early in the morning, so she set off after breakfast.

Concubine Hui was looking forward to being in front of the palace gate early in the morning, but of course she wasn't looking forward to Liu Hanxi.But I still met Liu Hanxi first.The two decided to eat casually at noon, and the emperor would come to have dinner in the evening, but they didn't know when the king would come back.

There were still quite a few people who came to give gifts, but Concubine Hui only kept people for tea, not for dinner. She only wanted to have a real reunion dinner with her husband and children, and there were no outsiders in this meal.

In the afternoon, even more tired, declined all the guests.

After Chu Tianyu finished his work in the front hall, he also had Concubine Hui in mind, so he came early.He gave gifts every year, and Concubine Hui received them like this every year, but she never came to thank her in person, probably because she didn't like it.This year I really put my heart into it, but fortunately Liu Hanxi reminded me early.

Seeing him coming, Liu Hanxi tactfully retreated to the kitchen to make a birthday cake.

"What interesting things did Xi'er give you?" Chu Tianyu asked.

"This." Concubine Hui pointed to a row of nine cylindrical objects on the table.

"What is this used for?" Chu Tianyu picked it up and looked at it. He only knew that it was made of wood, painted with lacquer and gold, and it was very delicate.

Concubine Hui picked up one of them and turned it gently, the wooden cylinder rose up, revealing a section of red paste.

Chu Tianyu shook his head, expressing that he still didn't know what it was.

Concubine Hui picked up the small bronze mirror delivered by Liu Hanxi on the table, and applied the rising red ointment to her lips.

"Lip balm?!" Chu Tianyu also followed the example of Concubine Hui and opened one. Unscrewing it, it was pink, but the colors were different.

"Xi'er made nine colors, saying that they match my clothes of different colors." Concubine Hui laughed.

"She really has a heart, how long did it take to make this!" Chu Tianyu sat next to Concubine Hui, and took out an exquisite wooden box.

It seemed that it was something like jewelry, Concubine Hui smiled. He probably thought that the most wanted gift for a woman was jewelry.In the past ten years or so, every year's birthday is basically jewelry, whether it is a walking bracelet, or a bracelet, or emeralds, gold and jade, all of which are good things, but she is not lacking.

Anyway, this year's arrival can be regarded as progress.Concubine Hui thought so, so she opened the box without any expectations.

As soon as he opened it, he froze there, and then his eyes turned red.

There is nothing precious in the box, just a box of walnuts.

Concubine Hui knew that this was not an ordinary walnut, but a walnut from the walnut tree that the two of them relied on when they expressed their friendship at the border.

"I was hit on the head by a rotten walnut that day..." Chu Tianyu smiled and touched his head, as if it still hurts now.When he was smashed that day, he looked up at the two of them and realized that he was relying on a walnut tree, so he quickly covered his head for Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui also laughed out loud, remembering how the two of them ate other people's walnuts.

"It's the season, so I asked someone to ask for some. The old man is still alive, and he still remembers us. He didn't want to collect the money, and told us to go by ourselves next year to keep our fill." Chu Tianyu took out one, crushed it, Take out the meat and hand it to Concubine Hui's mouth.

Concubine Hui bit her mouth and said with a smile, "This is the best birthday gift I have ever received in my life."

"Then you just know, don't let Xi'er know, she will be jealous." Chu Tianyu hugged her tightly.

Concubine Hui giggled like a girl, as if she had returned to that day.

"Feng'er, haven't you arrived yet?" Chu Tianyu couldn't help frowning.

"I'm afraid there is something that is bothering me. It will be later. Let's wait for him to eat, okay? I want to be a family together. If you are hungry, I will get you something to eat." Concubine Hui said in embarrassment Looking at Chu Tianyu.

"Okay, you are the biggest today, you can do whatever you say." Chu Tianyu was afraid that she would be unhappy, so he hurriedly agreed.

I didn't see anyone until it got dark.

In order not to be bored, Liu Hanxi ordered more lights to be lit in the yard, and then hung watermelons on the trees, and asked everyone to take turns playing with watermelons while blindfolded.

At the beginning, it was an eunuch who gestured with a stick for a long time, but was blindfolded and ran away. He didn't know it, and went into the flowers while swinging the stick, which made everyone laugh.

Chu Tianyu and Concubine Hui couldn't help laughing as they were blowing air in the corridor.Chu Tianyu promised ten taels of silver, and whoever hits it will get it. Now everyone worked harder.

His personal guard thought he was good at martial arts, and wanted to play tricks. He swung the watermelon and tried to find the location by ear, but Liu Hanxi saw through it. She walked forward quietly and stabilized the watermelon. Like everyone else, he lost his way.

"Xi'er, don't laugh at others, try it yourself!" Chu Tianyu shouted.

Liu Hanxi also went up to try.She was blindfolded. In order to walk in a straight line, she stretched out her arms and tapped the stick on the ground. She used her toes to find the stick, and moved forward step by step.

Not to mention, although it is not very straight, it is much better than others. Seeing that the person is almost passing the watermelon, the servant is anxious and hastily called to stop.

"Ah! It's almost here!" Liu Hanxi hurriedly stopped and swung his stick, but he still didn't hit anything.She tentatively wanted to take a few steps forward, but she stepped on her skirt and was about to fall down, so someone in front caught her.

Liu Hanxi bumped into the man's arms, and everyone was quiet first, and then they said, "Greetings, His Royal Highness King Xuan."

"Are you alright?" King Yu asked softly.

Hearing this voice, Liu Hanxi dropped the stick in his hand to the ground, and then clenched his fists.She pushed King Jin away, took a step back, raised her head, and removed the cloth over her eyes.

The person in front of me is so strange yet familiar.

The man in front of him is dressed in a scarlet robe, a golden crown on his head, and a purple tassel and unicorn jade. He is really a prince with extraordinary momentum.

But now his usually stern face was much gentler, and his eyes were filled with joy.

Liu Hanxi was different, her face was sad and astonished.

"Xi'er." He called again.

Liu Hanxi didn't answer, she hadn't recovered from the shock yet.Until Concubine Hui behind her called out: "Feng'er is back."

"You are... King Jin... Chu Qingfeng..." Liu Hanxi gritted his teeth and asked word by word.

"Xi'er...I...yes." Hua Qingkong wanted to reach out to shake her hand.

Liu Hanxi chuckled lightly, and took another step back.

She smiled and said, "Chu Qingfeng, heh, Hua Qingkong, heh." She shook her head.

Concubine Hui wanted to come over, but Chu Tianyu held her hand, wanting them to talk for a while.

But seeing Liu Hanxi took another step back, she dropped her skirt, knelt heavily, saluted Hua Qingkong, and bowed in an extremely loud voice: "Concubine! Greetings! His Royal Highness King Xuan!"

When he raised his face again, it was already covered with tears, and his teeth were clenched tightly.

What she hates most is deception. Back then, her mother, a dancer, gave up her native family and career for her father, but was deceived by her father. In the end, she had nothing and died in depression.

Hua Qingkong has already touched her bottom line.
