Chapter 426: Wild Flowers Are Not as Fragrant as Domestic Flowers
Wang Qin in the distance kept looking over here curiously.
I'm curious about what made the emperor laugh so happily.
But it was so dark and so far away that he couldn't see anything clearly.
On the grass in front of the flowers, Luo Yao was about to leave angrily.
Hongli quickly grabbed her.
"Look what this is?"
When Luo Yao lowered her head, she saw that his clenched palms were open and a tiny firefly was lying in his palm.
Under the black body, a small point of light was flickering.
Luo Yao's attention was instantly drawn.
But as Hongli released his restraints on it, the little firefly flapped its wings and was about to take off.
"ah!"
Luo Yao screamed and reached out to grab it.
The flying firefly passed through the gap between the two people's palms, turned into a small black dot and disappeared in an instant.
He originally intended to catch fireflies, but instead of catching the insects, he caught Hongli's hand.
Hongli held it with his backhand, without even looking at the bug, and didn't want to let go of her hand.
Luo Yao was about to chase him again, but Hongli stopped her.
"Don't chase him, the little guy has already flown far away."
As Hongli spoke, he couldn't help but squeeze the Rouyi in his hand.
The soft and delicate touch made him afraid to use force, for fear of hurting her.
It was like holding a piece of soft jade, and he couldn't let it go.
How could I let the other party chase fireflies again?
Luo Yao said, "Well, let's just let it go home."
At this time, she looked at the sky and offered to leave.
"It's already so late, Your Majesty, I have to go back to the Yanxi Palace~"
The main theme is to be close yet distant.
Of course Hongli was unwilling to do so. He felt that he had just been out for a short time, so why did he have to go back again!
"No, you promised me during the day."
A question mark appeared above Luo Yao’s head.
What did she promise?
Seeing her in a daze, Hongli knew that this girl must not remember what she had said before.
She clearly said that she would play with me until I had fun!
Luo Yao rubbed her eyes with her other hand.
"But I am already very sleepy and I have to get up early tomorrow."
After catching fireflies for so long, it was already dark.
"Your Majesty, you don't want me to be unable to get up in the morning, right?"
She gently shook Hongli's hand and acted coquettishly.
Seeing this pitiful look, Hongli couldn't refuse at all.
The reason that came to my lips could not be said, and I could only helplessly say:
"I really lost to you."
Luo Yao immediately put on a smile and said sweetly: "Your Majesty is the best~"
This naive and innocent character is played out very well.
Hongli had no suspicion at all and never doubted anything.
It’s like a super cute cat comes up to you and acts coquettishly. She’s so cute, how could she have any bad intentions?
Hongli liked her saying this very much. It was straightforward and full of emotion, and it was a new experience every time he heard it.
But Luo Yao's next sentence made his expression freeze.
"Then Your Majesty, can you please let go of my hand? I am leaving."
Luo Yao looked at him, who was still holding her hand, with no intention of letting go.
You can only give a audible reminder.
Hongli let her go reluctantly, regretting in his heart why he let her go back.
Luo Yao didn't give him a chance to regret, waved her hand and trotted away.
Hongli looked at her from behind and said in a strange tone:
"You're running so fast, didn't you just say you were tired?"
He had reason to suspect that the other party was avoiding him.
But on second thought, I felt that she was simple-minded, so she said whatever she wanted.
"If she really resisted me, she wouldn't have agreed to accompany me out."
But that's the problem. The other party seems to only treat him as a friend and has no other ideas.
Luo Yao: So do you believe in pure friendship between men and women?
The night passed uneventfully. Some people slept better than usual because they had exercised too much by catching fireflies.
..........................................
The Yanxi Palace a few days later.
Hailan was sitting on the couch chatting with Ruyi, holding a not-so-hot hot water bottle in her hand.
Although she was bullied in Gao Xiyue's palace, she still pretended to be calm in front of Ruyi.
I just don't want my good sister to worry about her.
Luo Yao stood in the corner, observing the two people while suppressing the urge to yawn.
It was obvious that Hailan exuded a melancholy atmosphere in her every move, and it was obvious that something was wrong.
But Ruyi was as blind as if she was blind, and continued to talk about what the emperor had done for her.
Hailan forced a smile, but still agreed from time to time.
Don't let her words fall to the ground.
Little did she know that while she was observing others, others were also observing her.
When Ruyi saw her nodding continuously, she knew that she must not have slept well last night.
You look so listless, you can't even get your work done, right?
Ruyi came up with a plan and said:
"A Ruo, the painting I asked Lang Shining to paint has not been completed yet. Please help me keep an eye on it and make sure he doesn't make any mistakes."
Luo Yao nodded, "I understand, Master."
She was about to leave as she spoke, knowing that Ruyi was deliberately giving her something to do.
She still stays here these days, just to wait for her family to develop cement.
It was also to catch Hongli.
Home flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers. This saying still works for the emperor.
The more he can't get it, the more he wants it.
Blindly throwing yourself into your arms will only make him feel cheap. Things that are too easy to get are often not so cherished.
Ruyi watched her leave and had already made up her mind that when she returned the painting, she would find some faults with it.
This gives you a reason to punish the other party.
Seeing that she was looking at the door, Hai Lan thought of A Ruo just now and couldn't help but worry.
"Sister, has Ah Ruo changed a lot recently?"
How come it suddenly grew?
Ruyi knew what she wanted to say, but she didn't want to mention to her that she was planning to send Arruo out of the palace.
Directly change the subject:
"There are some changes. Let's not talk about her. How are you doing in Xianfu Palace? Is the imperial concubine not bullying you anymore?"
When talking about this, Hailan's face was filled with bitterness.
But Luo Yao shuddered as she walked out of the door.
When the cold wind blew in her face, she immediately became much more sober.
“The weather is getting cold so fast.”
A few days ago, I could still wear less, but now it’s winter clothes.
As a master, he has servants to serve him. He is wrapped tightly when going out and has a hand warmer to warm his hands.
Of course, slaves don’t get this treatment.
Many slaves died of freezing in the palace every year.
“So, everyone wants to climb up…”
Murmuring, she tightened her clothes and walked towards Ruyi Pavilion with her hands in her pockets.
