Chapter 438: A Quiet and Bright Afternoon

Genius one second to remember the address of this site: (vertex Chinese)., the fastest update! No ads!

The main hall in the palace of the Han Dynasty is sparsely built and grandiose, but the house next to the study of the front hall is very compact. Many winding porch houses form a patio, as if it were a courtyard.

There are a few fruit trees planted in the patio, and the brick and stone pavement in the middle is full of flower petals. At this time, there were very few people in the entire Han Palace, and it was very quiet here.

The eunuch Wang Gui and another eunuch took Shen Xu and Shen Baoyan to this place and settled them in a house respectively.

"There is no decent bedroom here, I neglect Mrs. Shen." The burly eunuch said, "But the prince of our family often takes a nap here to rest. Now, there's a collapse inside. ”

Shen Xu followed the direction pointed by Wang Gui and saw that there was a partition door embroidered with a landscape map, but he could guess that there was a collapse behind the partition door.

Then Wang Gui came in with a pot of tea and a teacup, put it on a few cases, and asked, "What else does Mrs. Shen have to order?" ”

Shen Xu shook his head and thanked him.

Wang Gui closed the door and left.

Shen Xu glanced left and right a few times, looked around the room for a moment, and then bypassed the partition door and entered. Sure enough, there was a simple wooden slump with a mat and a straw mat carefully woven with cattails.

She walked over, sat down on the grass, took off her shoes, and rested her feet on the wooden footrests on the edge of the slump.

She was a little uneasy, and sat for a while, and then she slowly lay down on her back without a loose coat. Her chest immediately stretched out gently around her, and she relaxed and let out a long, soft breath.

Shen Xu had no intention of taking a nap at all, and he couldn't even close his eyes. Because when Zhu Gaoxu proposed to let them rest and take a nap, Shen Xu guessed that King Han had bad intentions! Why did you say yes to him so quickly? At that time, as soon as Shen Xu opened his mouth, he was a little remorseful. At the very least, you should refuse.

King Han may think that she is completely reserved, and he can't wait. But what she should do most correctly and most is to reject Zhu Gaoxu directly!

Shen Xu sighed, exhaled, and gently closed his eyes......

There were a lot of thoughts, she had thought about it before. First of all, the princess of Han and the ladies in the palace, Shen Xu didn't think that with his background and reputation, he would have a good life in the Han palace; Even from a moral point of view, she is full of weaknesses.

What Zhu Gaoxu said earlier is also very interesting, probably saying that the more high-sounding the place, the more superficial things must be pasted.

Then the Shen Xu clan also had to consider the demands and calculations of the Shen family and the Xu family, and the Shen Xu clan could not ignore them. The relationship is complex.

In order to maintain the balance of everything around him, Shen Xu had to make use of all the possibilities around him and couldn't give up all opportunities. As for secular etiquette, it can also be adapted.

In such a situation, although Shen Baoyan was not born to Shen Xu's family, she was treated and raised by her for so many years; Therefore, if Shen Baoyan enters the Han Palace, she will not break off with her mother's family, she is the best candidate.

Bao Yan should have heard some rumors, but as long as Shen Xu denied it and did not have too many entanglements with King Han in the future, then the relationship could still be maintained.

Shen Xu understands all the pros and cons. And thinks that for so many benefits and can escape the burden of three obedience and four virtues, it will not be a pity to give up only a little thing between men and women. After a long time, she can even quietly get comfort by herself.

But I don't know what's going on, when I saw King Han today, in the face of his ambiguous hints, Shen Xu couldn't refuse.

Maybe King Han said that he was going to leave Yunnan soon, which was rare to see, which made Shen Xu a little reluctant. Or perhaps, because he was really grateful to King Han recently, he couldn't help but want to cater to him and make him happy and satisfied.

After really facing death, Shen Xu also looked down on those various benefits a little.

One last time. Shen Xu lay on the wooden collapse, secretly making up his mind. Once Bao Yan came to the Han Palace, Shen Xu decided to completely sever the relationship with the Han King and deny what had happened before......

During the waiting time, countless trivial fragments gradually surfaced in Shen Xu's mind, including the pictures he had seen, the sounds he had heard, and the tactile sensations that remained in his fingertips and everywhere. In her thoughts, she suddenly saw a frog, which was chirping on the damp mud, and the frog's air sacs were very large when it called, and the image made people feel that something was tense.

Shen Xu sighed, turned over slightly, and lay there on his side. She suddenly smelled a faint smell in her nose, emanating from the straw mat and pillow, and the breath was very light, as if mixed with the smell of precipitated sweat. The smell isn't fragrant at all, but it doesn't seem to be unpleasant either.

Only then did she remember what the eunuch Wang Gui had said: There is no decent bedroom here, and Mrs. Shen is neglected. However, our prince often takes a nap here. Now, there's a collapse inside.

This kind of cattail mat absorbs water and sweat, I am afraid that it is the smell left by Zhu Gaoxu. Shen Xu took a hard breath from her nose and made a sound carelessly, she heard her slightly greedy inhalation, and her cheeks were slightly hot. She put her fingers on the mat again, her palms against the straw mat, her toes slowly and firmly under the mat in her white socks, and her body lay there slowly moving as if she were stretching.

After a long time, the place was still surprisingly quiet. Such silence will make people faintly believe that no one will disturb them again.

Shen Xu gradually tasted the taste of loss, but he did not completely give up his expectations.

In such a peaceful atmosphere, she thought of the possibility that Zhu Gaoxu would indeed not come. Maybe he was really considerate and kind enough to let them take a nap; And Shen Xu's previous imagination was just a misunderstanding.

Because when they first arrived at the door of the study in the front hall in the morning, Zhu Gaoxu did not forget to tell Wang Gui to get a parasol. Then it is reasonable for Zhu Gaoxu to do one more thing, leaving them to wait for the afternoon sun to be weaker.

"Crunch......" The wooden door suddenly made a soft grinding sound.

Shen Xu's heart suddenly tightened, and a flush appeared on his cheeks. The pillow under her head was strained by her hand. Then there was a steady sound of footsteps in the room, and she hurriedly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

After a while, Shen Xu heard that all the sounds had disappeared, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes a slit, and suddenly found Zhu Gaoxu staring at him. She was stunned for a moment, and finally opened her eyes, looking at Zhu Gaoxu's face as if she didn't admit defeat.

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were very detailed, as if he could see the shallow sweat on her skin clearly. The person who looked at Shen Xu's family like this hadn't appeared for a long time, and her face was getting redder and redder.

Zhu Gaoxu silently stretched out his rough hand, but that hand was very light and gentle, and gently stroked Shen Xu's chin with the back of his hand.

He stood up suddenly, and with a stir of three times and five by two, he pulled off his regimental dragon robe and hat. He breathed heavily, sat down on the floor, and reached out to Shen Xu's long skirt.

Shen Xu hurriedly said: "This courtyard is too quiet, Baoyan is also here, King Han should not be too anxious." ”

Zhu Gaoxu's movements slowed down after listening to it, just like the rhythm of the pipa song "Ambush on All Sides", which is like a soothing rhythm for a while between the storms and rains. He didn't respond to Shen Xu's topic, but said thoughtfully: "People inevitably have their own needs, but as long as there is no conflict, don't force it too much." ”

When Shen Xu heard these inexplicable words, he faintly had a feeling that his own trade-offs had been guessed by Zhu Gaoxu. After all, he is very experienced, and the game between his brothers and various relatives in the court is probably the same thing.

Shen Xu said softly: "The concubine is grateful to the King of Han and has no bad intentions. ”

"That's enough." Zhu Gaoxu said gently.

He paused and sighed: "The world always thinks that they are masters, but in fact there seem to be many wonderful things controlling us. For example, the hormones in the bodies of men and women are controlling our likes and dislikes, and even the deepest goodwill and malice in our hearts. ”

He sometimes spoke strangely, and since he had done so more than once, Shen Xu had gotten used to it.

Shen Xu said: "The concubine only wants to serve the King of Han for the last time, is it okay?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while, nodded and smiled: "This king usually doesn't force women, there's no need to do that." ”

So why is he laughing? Shen Xu felt that he didn't seem to believe her, and even with a hint of mockery; Or does he not care if he can get close to her again? After all, King Han does not lack a woman for her.

Shen Xu's mind was complicated, and he said with a heavy tone: "It's really the last time." ”

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything, bent down and hugged her. Shen Xu felt his strength, her body was as light as a feather, soft and powerless. She slowly smelled the smell of Zhu Gaoxu's body, and soon couldn't bear the feeling of suffocation, and exhaled hard, but a woman's voice sounded between the exhalation. Shen Xu hurriedly hid his face in his shoulder socket.

Zhu Gaoxu's voice whispered in her ear: "You know what you want, I happen to be able to satisfy you, this is the best part, there is no need to hide." I often want to be valuable to others, and your looks, colors, and voices make me feel happy. ”

She opened her eyes and saw that the porch was very bright in the afternoon. She was so embarrassed that she didn't want to see her surroundings clearly.

But the sun was shining outside, even through the doors and windows, illuminating all the scenery in this quaint house. Even the tiniest places can be seen. Many things in the room were so clear, the slightest wrinkle in the silk of the red clothes, the black ink on the snow-white rice paper, and the small uneven protrusions on the rice paper were all nowhere to be hidden in the bright light.
