White Hedge Dream

Chapter 153 Greetings

"Is the prince okay?"

"Why are you walking around like this? Hey, it's Shangguan Xiaolang—"

"Shangguan Langjun is drunk? Let me help you get up—"

Because the door was knocked open, the noise in the room made the store clerk outside the door rush to check, so as not to bump into Zhou Shizi. Seeing the person who fell to the ground, he was a little surprised and helpless.

This troublemaker is also someone who cannot be messed with.

Don't make a fuss.

They stepped forward to help Shangguan Yue and wanted to take him out.

"Young Master, Young Master—" Ji Xiang rushed from outside and pushed the shop assistant aside, "What are you doing? Don't touch my Young Master—the princess just accepted our Young Master's filial piety tonight—"

His sharp voice echoed inside the room, and many guests outside also came over to watch the excitement.

The shop assistants suddenly became confused and started talking about Princess Jinyu. It was really arrogant.

Shangguan Yue laughed, stood upright unsteadily with Ji Xiang's arm, and waved her hand: "It was my fault, I accidentally bumped in -"

Saying this, he saluted Zhou Jingyun.

Perhaps because he was drunk, his movements were exaggerated, and he staggered forward again as he saluted.

Ji Xiang hurriedly supported him, and two shop assistants also stood between him and Zhou Jingyun.

"...I have disturbed the Crown Prince and the Young Madam." Shangguan Yuehun didn't care, he put his arm on Ji Xiang's shoulder, chuckled, and looked behind Zhou Jingyun, "Are you okay, Young Madam?"

Madam?

People watching the excitement outside saw Zhou Jingyun's graceful figure wearing a crimson dress and beaded hair on her temples.

But his face was blocked by Zhou Jingyun, so his appearance couldn't be seen.

This is the newly married little wife. People outside the door can't help but squeeze and tiptoe to look at her.

Zhou Jingyun stood further forward, Zhuang Li was completely blocked behind him, and he could only see the corners of his skirt spread on the ground.

"Is the young man really drunk?" he asked lightly.

Does this mean you don't accept the apology? It seems that Zhou Jingyun has been really offended! How did you offend?

The onlookers outside the door suddenly became excited.

There are many people during the Lantern Festival, especially the female relatives who rarely go out to have fun until late at night, but this also gives many promiscuous disciples the opportunity to do evil, squeezing in and out of the crowd and teasing the women.

Could this Shangguan Xiaolang be teasing Mrs. Dongyang Hou Shizi?

Is this Mrs. Dongyang Hou Shizi really beautiful?

Also, it must be unusual for Zhou Jingyun, who had been guarding his late wife for nine years, to be tempted to marry her home.

For a moment, more eyes looked behind Zhou Jingyun.

A hand reached out and gently held Zhou Jingyun's sleeve: "I'm fine."

The voice is soft.

Zhou Jingyun stood up straight and didn't move until his sleeves were pulled again.

"It's a big holiday."

It's a big holiday, I don't want to cause more trouble, I'm a timid little lady.

Zhou Jingyun looked at more and more people outside the door and frowned. As if he didn't want to scare his timid wife, he looked at Shangguan Yue and said, "It's a happy holiday, but you should also drink in moderation."

This is no longer pursued.

The store clerks also came to their senses.

"It's all our fault for not being careful and not helping Shangguan Langjun properly."

"Shangguan Langjun, come quickly, we will compensate you with a bottle of wine."

They supported Shangguan Yue and backed out. The store clerk conveniently closed half of the door, blocking other people from looking in. However, Shangguan Yue grabbed the other half of the door and refused to leave.

"Your Majesty, you are really a great person. Your Majesty, I will settle your account today. Your Majesty, it's better to meet by chance than to meet you. I want to offer you a glass of wine. Young Madam, are you okay? I bumped into you just now, are you okay?"

He shouted loudly, holding on to the door as people rushed inside.

Ji Xiang and the two shop assistants were startled and stopped him firmly.

But Shangguan Yue was pulled by the three men and remained motionless, only looking at the room.

"Are you okay-"

He kept asking questions, but seemed to refuse to give up if he didn't get an answer from the beauty.

Zhou Jingyun looked serious and wanted to say something.

Zhuang Li leaned out and nodded to Shangguan Yue: "I'm fine."

A face appeared in Shangguan Yue's sight, which was a little familiar and a little strange. She was confused and confused. The next moment, the face lifted up and looked at Zhou Jingyun.

"Let's go back early. I made an appointment with Mrs. Li to see if she can sleep well tonight. If she can, come and get the incense tomorrow morning." She whispered.

Zhou Jingyun said oh, but didn't care what Zhuang Li was saying. He just looked at the door with a wary expression.

Shangguan Yue did not look directly behind him like before, but turned around and put her arm on the servant's shoulder: "Come on, hurry up, there's no need to pay -"

It seems that all the madness just now is for not paying compensation.

The store clerks looked ugly, but that’s not surprising, these dandy boys act haphazardly—

"Your Majesty, Wanhualou has paid for today's tea." The shopkeeper also came over at this time and apologized.

Zhou Jingyun said nothing and waved his hands calmly. The shopkeeper said no more, because Shangguan Yue walked away, and other people outside the door took the opportunity to look in and hurriedly closed the door.

Isolated inside and outside, it instantly became quiet.

Of course, it's not really quiet, there's still a lot of bustle inside and outside the building.

Zhuang Li looked at the door and let out a breath. He didn't expect to see Shangguan Yue here. It was a coincidence. Well, it was also her luck.

Shangguan Yue must have seen something because he insisted on looking at her face.

When he heard her say something that only the two of them knew, he left with peace of mind.

He must have also seen Empress Jiang’s face.

In the dream, the four-year-old Li Yu would point to this face and cry every time. Although the grown-up Shangguan Yue did not cry, she must have been shocked.

"Ali, are you okay?" Zhou Jingyun's voice came. He looked out the window at the street and frowned slightly: "The Li family's float has passed."

Zhuang Li followed him and looked over. The Li family's float merged into the bright lights of the street in the distance. A crane-shaped float came over, waving its wings and chirping, and the people on the street burst into louder laughter.

Zhou Jingyun's voice came to his ears.

"Is this glance enough?"

"Do you want-"

Before he finished speaking, Zhuang Li raised his head and looked at him.

There was something strange in her eyes. Zhou Jingyun paused and stopped talking.

"How long do you think one glance lasts?" Zhuang Li asked.

How long does one look last? It can’t be described in short terms, it’s just like breathing, Zhou Jingyun thought to himself.

"Actually, the time between illusion and reality is different. In reality, the time of one breath and one breath may be a day and a night in the illusion." Zhuang Li said, "It's like someone just taking a nap and squinting, but this time A dream can last for four seasons or even a lifetime."

If you take a nap and squint, you can live a lifetime in your dreams. Zhou Jingyun understands this meaning. Sometimes he feels that he has been sleeping for a long time, and when he opens his eyes, it is just a nap...

However, Zhuang Li suddenly explained this at this time?

He was startled: "What happened just now?"

Zhuang Li raised his wrist, and the loose red rope slipped off. Under the indoor light, he could see a shallow circle of strangulation marks on his thin white wrist...

"The moment I looked at Shen Qing, I was pulled into the illusion." She said, "In that short time, the prince and I had already walked the entire street. We also bought masks and wore them on our faces. I had a lot of fun talking and laughing—"

There was once a time when Shen Qing was clearly playing the piano, but someone was standing next to him talking, and no one in the room noticed it. At that moment, he couldn't tell which one was real and which one was fake. This was the so-called illusion, although he had experienced it once personally. , but listening to Zhuang Li at this moment, I still find it unbelievable. If it were someone else, someone he didn't know, if he said such things, he would only be regarded as a madman -

Zhuang Li smiled: "Actually, a madman looks weird in the eyes of the world, but he may be immersed in his own fantasy. To him, that is real and reasonable—"

As he spoke, he saw the uncontrollable pain on Zhou Jingyun's face.

Normal people will be confused if they listen to this, and they will go crazy if they think too much...

It was already confusing enough. It was rare for Zhou Jingyun to stay sober and calm, so he couldn't say any more.

She quickly dropped the topic and raised her wrist again.

"So I use this as a mark to remind myself that the connection between me and your red rope is real. I know that you and I have red ropes, but the people who create the illusion don't know. The illusion is based on reality, but it cannot be done. To be completely real, so that I can find the problem, know that what I see is false, and wake up.”

In addition, Shangguan Yue's appearance gave her an extra reminder this time, making her wake up smoother.

Obviously, the entire market was pulled into a dream, and Shangguan Yue, who happened to be passing by, was no exception.

But Shen Qing didn't know that she knew Shangguan Yue, let alone that it was difficult for Shangguan Yue to fall into a dream.

The appearance of Shangguan Yue caused doubts in her stagnant thoughts and she began to think. Once she thinks in the dream, she will wake up.

Shangguan Yue also saw Empress Jiang appearing on her face at that moment.

Shangguan Yue probably didn't know what happened, but he might remember that she said that as long as he appeared next to Mrs. Dongyang Hou, Bai Li would appear, so he rushed over and bumped into her.

The collision also woke her up immediately.

Zhuang Li thought silently, stroking the shallow marks on his wrist.

Zhou Jingyun looked at her, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say. He seemed to understand, but not understand. After all, for him, this was just standing by the window and looking out, but he was obviously sitting next to her. Zhuang Li next to him said that he had already walked on the street -

Then, was she the one who was here with me just now?

He opened his mouth to ask, then closed his mouth.

It's already confusing enough, Zhuang Li's experience just now was already terrible, don't let her think about it again.

"So it's more dangerous than you expected?" he asked.

Zhuang Li smiled and nodded.

When people fall asleep, they don't know when they fell asleep.

But she was different from ordinary people after all, but she didn't expect that she, who could wander into dreams at any time, would fall asleep in front of Shen Qing without noticing.

This isn't the first time either.

But that time I was pulled into Shen Qing's dream in a dream, this time it was directly while he was still awake...

"It's my problem." Zhou Jingyun said, looking towards the street, "I made people stare at Shen Qing, and Shen Qing has been staring at you and me for a long time. You and I came out to see him, so this is not an opportunity for him to look at you. "

He was really helpless in front of Shen Qing's weird technique.

Zhuang Li held his hand: "Your Majesty, don't think too much. I look at him and he looks at me. The result is the same. It can be regarded as achieving my goal."

Reached?

Zhou Jingyun lowered his head and looked at her, wasn't it a word of comfort to him?

Zhuang Li smiled: "No, it's true." She shook Zhou Jingyun's hand, "Let's go home and sleep."
