Lock Xin

The window sash is half open, the green branches and leaves sway gently with the wind, and the light spots flicker.Zi Xin was sitting obliquely at the table with her back to the window sash, her long hair hanging down her shoulders, her wide sleeves slid down to reveal her slender white arms, and a string of exquisite bracelets was wrapped around her slender wrists. Exudes a faint brilliance.

Turning over a page of the book with her fingertips, Zi Xin lowered her head slightly, her broken hair slipping down to cover her eyebrows.He inadvertently looked up and saw a tall figure standing in front of him.

"When did you come in?" Zi Xin frowned, put down the scroll in his hand, and stood up slowly.Zi Xin looked at the door but did not find Xiao Mo's figure, his face tightened, he turned and glanced behind him.

"Wang Mo just went out." Yeluning saw that Zi Xin's intentions were a little displeased in his eyes. He had been with Zi Xin for many days, and even obeyed Zi Xin in everything, but Zi Xin never let go of his guard against him.

Zi Xin nodded slightly, and slowly lowered his clenched fist, maybe he was worrying too much, Wang Mo was just an attendant by his side, and Yeluning didn't need to hurt his life.

Yeluning approached Zixin, picked up the scroll that was upside down on the table, "Zixin was so fascinated by it, I didn't even notice it when I came in."

Yeluning flipped through it hastily, "Zi Xin likes to read this kind of scrolls very much." He hadn't discovered Zi Xin's preference for reading scrolls earlier, otherwise he wouldn't have let Zi Xin sit alone in the room for many days .

"It's just a casual look." Zi Xin shook her head, reached for the scroll in Yeluning's hand, and threw it aside.

"I have the second volume of this volume in my study. Zixin can go to the study to look for it after reading it." There was a look of expectation in Yeluning's eyes. This method has fooled Zixin.

"No need, I don't really like to read." Zi Xin said indifferently, just to kill time, any book is the same.

"It's okay. All the ministers and I are discussing matters in the front hall. Usually, I am the only one in the study. If Zi Xin finishes reading, she can go to the study anytime." , it is impossible for him to let Zixin leave.

"The study is the place where the lord reviews the important affairs of the Xiongnu. It is not suitable for me as an outsider to step in." Zixin said firmly that his relationship with Yeluning was not that close. ridiculous.

"I'll bring the scroll to Zi Xin when I come back later." Seeing the determination in Zi Xin's eyes, Ye Luning reluctantly compromised.There is still a long time ahead for them, he can slowly wait for Zi Xin to get close, and he doesn't have to push so hard.

"It's just a book, why should the Lord care so much?" Zi Xin walked sideways to the door, maybe he didn't remember it at night.

"I want to keep all the things Zixin likes in my heart." Yeluning said slowly, even though he sent secret guards to inquire about Zixin's preferences, but after getting along with each other for a long time, Yeluning found that Zixin had changed a lot. Big, even very different from the reply of the dark guard.

Zixin was too lazy to continue arguing with Yeluning, and stood silently by the side.

"The Lord is so free to sit in the room, is it because today's affairs are not busy?" Zi Xin looked out the window, it is still very early, if Yeluning stays in the room, it will be enough for him for a while bored.

"I haven't been with Zixin for a long time. Today I want to have lunch with Zixin." Yeluning smiled and held Zixin's hand. He always took the opportunity in his free time Be by the beauty's side.Even though the beauty might be a little disgusted with him, after a long time the beauty will gradually see his devotion.

Zi Xin frowned, Ye Luning came to the room to peep at him from time to time, wouldn't that count as being with him, Zi Xin really didn't want Ye Lu Ning to be by his side all day.

"I don't like to see Zi Xin frowning," Yeluning looked at Zi Xin's slightly frowning brows. Could it be that Zi Xin hates him so much, "If you don't like me staying, I can leave now."

Zixin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Yeluning's patience to fade so quickly today, maybe he hated his indifference.Zi Xin tried her best to suppress the desire to nod, but it was just a meal, he could have gotten along with Yeluning peacefully, so why bother to provoke him.

Yeluning's face gradually softened, it turned out that the beauty still wanted him to stay. "I'm leaving after dinner. I have a lot of things to do in the afternoon. Maybe I come back too late at night. Zixin doesn't have to wait for me at the table."

Zi Xin nodded. Just now he saw Yeluning sitting leisurely at the table, and even mistakenly thought that Yeluning would be with him for another day.

Although Zixin hated Yeluning's constant staring at him, the two of them were quite happy when they were alone a few days ago. Zixin did not leave any psychological shadow, and there is still a faint memory. As a prince, he has participated in royal hunting on horseback for many years , I never thought that I could run freely on the horse like that day.For a moment he forgot his identity, with an excited smile on his face.Even after running many laps, Zixin's forehead was dripping with sweat, and he was a little weak, but he still didn't want to jump off the horse and face everything he was running away from.

Zi Xin turned around and ordered the attendant by the door to go down to prepare the meal, then walked to the table silently and sat down.

Yeluning looked at the person on the opposite side, felt that the distance was a little far away, got up and moved to Zi Xin's side, "Zi Xin hasn't attended the Huns' bonfire banquet yet, the Xiongnu's banquet is different from Da Chu's, there are not so many restraints and etiquette, Be as casual as possible.”

Yeluning saw that Zi Xin's face was still not moved, and continued, "The day after tomorrow is the annual spring bonfire meeting of the Huns, I hope Zi Xin can have a good time." Zi Xin is his princess and must accompany him By his side, but he didn't want Zixin to sit for hours with a sullen face.

"If Zi Xin doesn't like it, you can leave halfway." Yeluning didn't want to force Zi Xin to guard the toasting officials, he could go out with Zi Xin for a walk, but the day after tomorrow Zi Xin would never want to get rid of him.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will always be by your side." Zixin knew that Yeluning was just a lie, and he couldn't take it seriously. If he really left Yeluning in front of the officials, Yeluning might not be able to Let Xiaomo go.

"What Zixin said is true?" It was just a cold sentence, but Yeluning was very happy, with a faint smile on his face. He really hoped that it would not only be for the few hours at the bonfire meeting, but for the rest of his life. .

Zi Xin nodded, even if he was disgusted, he still remembered his identity, he was a princess, no matter how big or small the banquet must be by Yeluning's side.

Yeluning stretched out his hand to hold Zixin's fingertips in his hand, Zixin wanted to pull out his fingers, but he slowly let go of the tenderness in Yeluning's eyebrows.

Yeluning held Zi Xin's shoulders, leaned closer to his beautiful face, "At the banquet, I want to surprise Zi Xin."

Before Zi Xin avoided Yeluning's touch in time, he retreated. Zi Xin looked at Kong Kong's fingertips and slowly lowered his hand.Now they get along very peacefully, and Yeluning is not forcing him, and Zixin doesn't want any other accidents to happen.

Yeluning looked at Zi Xin's indifferent face, without any disappointment in his eyes, perhaps it was too much for him to expect Zi Xin to smile all over his face, as long as Zi Xin didn't refuse his care.

The door opened, and a group of maids filed in with trays. Zi Xin looked at the dazzling array of Central Plains dishes on the table, feeling slightly surprised.

"I ordered them to cook this, does Zi Xin like it?" Yeluning nodded in satisfaction when he saw a table full of dishes, and among the dishes there were finally Zi Xin's favorites.

"The two of us can't eat so many dishes." Zixin stood at the table, such extravagance was even comparable to his father's meals, but he remembered that the Xiongnu Palace was not that extravagant.

"Zixin just pick up some dishes you like and try them." Yeluning pulled Zixin to sit down, and he picked up some dishes with chopsticks and put them in Zixin's bowl.

"If Zixin thinks the taste is good, eat more." Yeluning put down his chopsticks and looked at the people beside him.

Zi Xin took a mouthful of sweet and sour fish, which was sour and sweet, and he had quite an appetite, so he ate some more.Zixin looked at Yeluning's face that had been looking at him. The bowl and chopsticks in front of him didn't move at all. He stopped the chopsticks in his hand, "Why doesn't your lord eat?"

Yeluning nodded, and put some vegetables into Zixin's bowl. It was the first time in many days that he saw the beauties enjoy themselves so much, maybe it was because the tastes of the Central Plains and the Xiongnu were very different.

"Why do you have to accommodate yourself like this for me." Zi Xin's face was slightly cold, the Huns like spicy meat, but he looked around the table and there was not a single dish of the Huns, all of them were bland dishes from the Central Plains.

"As long as Zixin eats happily." Yeluning picked up the rice grains in the bowl, which should be regarded as his punishment. The beauty didn't want to mention it to him before, and he never cared about the dishes on the table.

"Is the lord not going to eat?" Zi Xin watched as Yeluning put a mouthful of rice into his mouth.He frowned slightly, glanced at the dishes on the table, took a piece of stir-fried meat and put it into Yeluning's bowl.

Yeluning looked at the piece of meat in front of him, his eyes were full of joy, the beauty actually picked up the vegetables for him, but he picked up the piece of meat but didn't put it into his mouth for a long time.

"This dish isn't that difficult to eat, but it's okay." Zi Xin looked at Yelving's hesitant expression and explained.

Yeluning put it in his mouth, although it was just a common taste, but what the beauty hand delivered was exceptionally delicious.

"Zixin, can you pick some dishes for me?" Yeluning explained, worried that Zixin would see through his intentions, "I don't know what each dish tastes like."

Zixin didn't think about it for too long, and hastily picked up some vegetables and put them in Yeluning's bowl.Yeluning picked up his rice bowl and showed a deep smile. Looking at Zixin's face, he put a piece of spicy pepper into his mouth.

A burst of spicy taste spread in his mouth, and Yeluning took a mouthful of rice.

"What's the matter?" Zixin looked at Yeluning's slightly changed face, could there be something wrong with the food he picked up.

"I just ate spicy food." Yeluning couldn't help exhaling the heat from his mouth, but it still didn't help.

"I'm sorry." Zixin saw a layer of spicy pepper in Yeluning's bowl, and he thought that the Huns could eat spicy food.

"It's okay, I'll be fine in a while." Yeluning smiled and shook his head.
