Chapter 365: Out of the Water Hibiscus
One of the non-traditional traditions of the Longyuan Empire is that when some national decisions are required, but they are not formal state discussions, they are often discussed in the form of tea parties. The vast majority of the people who attended the tea party were dignitaries from all walks of life in the empire, and everyone settled similar matters in a relaxed atmosphere.
Probably this can be regarded as an adjustment to the usual tense state life.
"You ...... Really, do you really want me to wear this?"
Gu Li stood in front of a large floor-to-ceiling full-length mirror, her face slightly distorted, and she measured a dress in front of her. This is the tailor of the palace in the morning to measure the size of Gu Li, and then go back to hurry up to make it, but although the time is in a hurry, this style and workmanship are not sloppy at all, even the matching accessories and shoes are extremely exquisite, and by the way, the clothes of the day are sent.
This is not the kind of evening dress that is very formal, after all, I only go to the lunchtime tea party, and the color is very suitable for the pearl color of Guli, which is very elegant and simple decoration, and the corners and neckline of the skirt have been hand-embroidered with exquisite patterns.
However, from Gu Li's own point of view, the better the dress, the more nervous she felt, because Gu Li had no memory of wearing the dress herself.
Short shirts and leather coats suitable for battle, as well as hard leather boots that can exert the power of her stigma, are all Gu Li's memories, and this kind of thin skirt with a bare chest and an open back, and even no sleeves, in Gu Li's opinion, is simply ...... What a shame!
"Hmm!" Tian Xian was the first to nod, "Of course you have to wear it!"
"Uh-huh!" Luna nodded, "This is made for you." ”
"Uh-huh!" the fat and thin man Tu Geqiqi nodded.
The corners of Gu Li's eyes twitched and looked at the few people in front of her, "Can ...... But why do I have to go......
Tian Xian said as a matter of course: "The emperor clearly said that he could bring someone, since you are standing here in the name of an adjutant, then of course you will go with me!"
"Yes. Luna ...... "Gul's eyes were full of pleading.
"No~~" Luna waved her hand lightly, "I'm an elf, I don't wear human clothes, and you're the first messenger, it's completely inappropriate for me to go, as for a few of them." Naturally, there is no need to count on it, each one is uglier than the other. ”
For Luna's words, the fat and thin Tu Ge did not have the slightest intention to refute, in terms of human aesthetics, the thin man is an ugly man, and the fat man and Tu Ge...... There is no need to discuss it at all.
"Alright, alright, don't squirm like a little girl, go and put it on, it's not too early." Under Guli's reluctant gaze, Luna pushes her into the next room.
Wait for the door to close. Tian Xian glanced at Tu Ge and a few of them, and immediately all of them showed a bad smile.
After a few moments, the door opened, and Luna stepped out first, then looked back, shook her head and reached out to pull Guli out.
"Wait...... I haven't ...... yet" Guli staggered out, and Guli, who had never worn such crappy lady's shoes, almost fell.
"Oh~~~~"
Several male creatures on Tianxian's side looked at Gu Li who appeared in front of them, and they couldn't help but show extremely amazing looks.
Man depends on clothing. This statement is not false at all, especially for a person in his prime. And this is especially true for curvaceous women.
Since she was a child, Gu Li has never touched fat powder, let alone dressed herself, and there is almost no decoration in her daughter's house, only out of the necessary consideration of being neat and clean as a subordinate foreign trade, she will pay attention to her appearance. Take good care of her long hair, in Guli's memory, there is no such word as dressing.
Now standing in front of the few people in Tianxian is a completely different creature from the previous Guli.
The long hair, which had been casually draped since leaving the Temple of the Holy Spirit, seemed to have been used by Luna in some special way, fine and supple. The fiery red hair exudes a charming sheen. The low-cut dress highlights the rounded shoulders of Guli, the sexy collarbones, and the ravines of the full twin peaks looming, perhaps the reason for the accumulation of glorious stigma through years of cultivation, and the pearl-colored dress is shining against her bare skin.
And it can be seen that the tailor of the palace is a very senior talented, with excellent vision, this dress is close to the waist, and the design of the wide group hem greatly sets off the amazing waist curve under the guli plump bust, and a pair of slender legs give this dress the most powerful support, and the two beautiful calves exposed under the complicated and not vulgar handmade pattern are simply perfect masterpieces.
This is not at all the woman who wrapped herself tightly in casual clothes, and often carried a little dirty, her red hair was casually draped, and she was always glaring and screaming.
And in the face of the unscrupulous gaze of the four male creatures in front of her, Gu Li's face instantly turned redder than her hair.
"I ...... I can't wear this!" Guli felt like she was naked.
Tian Xian walked up.
Looking at Gu Li, whose nervous breathing was a little rapid, Tian Xian suddenly stretched out his hand and put it on her shoulder, his fingers gently slid over the silky skin on his shoulder, and smiled, "It seems that your injuries are all healed." ”
Gu Li was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked at her shoulder.
When she was in the Silent Forest, Guli was almost swallowed by Ash, leaving a huge wound on her shoulder and under her ribs, but later she was carefully healed and cleared the ugly scar.
Looking at her round and smooth shoulders, Gu Li bit her lip, "Yes...... Indeed, but this dress. ”
"That's it!" Tian Xian smiled.
"What...... What?"
"To be honest, you really scared me, I thought you would be clumsy in this, it looks like I'm going to impress you. Tian Xian said and took a few steps back, looked at Gu Li again, nodded and said: "It's perfect! My lieutenant should be so beautiful, right, keep this dress, even if you don't have much chance to wear it in the future, keep it as a souvenir, this is the first time you wear a dress, right?"
"Drifting...... Pretty?"
Gu Li felt that her face was burning from one to her toes, and in the past, only Zhuoya would say to herself when she joked, although every woman felt that she was good-looking, but it was the first time that someone else said this......
"Really...... Really?" suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but it was not the same as the previous feeling of shame, and his eyes fluttered. Gu Li nodded and asked quietly, almost unheard.
Thanks to Tian Xian's deaf ears, he heard Gu Li's words and immediately replied: "Of course, I guarantee that those princesses and ladies will regret going to the tea party today!"
Slightly, Gu Li smiled with joy. But he immediately covered it up and glared at Tianxian, "Stinky little ghost! want to play me again! Hmph! But forget it, since I'm going to the tea party today, I'll ...... It's okay to sacrifice it. ”
Tian Xian laughed, "Then my beautiful adjutant, let's go, it's rude to let the master wait." ”
Struggling to get used to the new shoes, and the feeling of the cool skin when exposed to the air. Gu Li and Tian Xian went out of the house, and until the door, Luna and the others could hear Gu Li whispering questions like, "Can I really wear this out?" and "Should I change it?"
"This little ghost is very powerful!" As soon as Tianxian and Gu Li went out, the thin man sighed
Luna laughed, "Just a few words to make her happy, this little thing's future is limitless......"
The fat man said pitifully on the side: "Eldest sister, is there a way for me to return to a normal human body, it's very inconvenient for me to do this." Now I can't even get in the kitchen door. ”
"Shut up!" Luna unceremoniously patted the fat man on the belly, "There are some kitchen doors you can't get into." That's the luck of food, if you want to regain your normal shape, then give up your stigma, it seems a little bit possible. ”
The fat man frowned and gave up the stigma, which was absolutely impossible......
on the royal carriage.
The atmosphere is a bit strange.
Tianxian and Gu Li sat opposite each other. Tian Xian looked at the luxurious palace pavilions in the palace, and exclaimed twice from time to time, Gu Li sat there, but a little cramped, and occasionally glanced at Tian Xian. Then in vain pull the skirt, hoping to cover more skin......
Tianxian suddenly turned his head and looked at Gu Li strangely.
Gu Li was about to pull the corner of her skirt to cover her calf, and suddenly retracted her hand, looking at the scenery outside the window like no one, but she found that Tianxian had been staring at her, and her gaze seemed to be slowly moving down from her neck......
"What are you looking at!?" said Guli, turning her head and exclaiming in annoyance.
Tian Xian laughed loudly, leaned closer to Gu Li, stared at her face, and asked, "Is it ...... Are you shy?"
"I ...... How could I? ha...... Only a child would ...... for this. Where are you looking!?"
Tian Xian did not hide his nostalgic gaze on Gu Li, and said softly: "I believe that such a charming woman, even in the palace of the Longyuan Empire, is extremely rare, there will be many men looking at you with lustful eyes for a while, of course, they will be polite when they come to greet you again, and some people may even want to poach you completely, they will flatter you in ways you can't think of, I hope you stay sober." ”
Gu Li was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Tianxian to say such a thing, and she still used this kind of lustful eyes......
"I know very well what I am, and I think your worries are unnecessary. Being said by Tianxian, Gu Li was relieved.
"Obviously you don't really know what you're like. Tian Xian smiled, "Anyway, you can remember my words!"
Gu Li suddenly asked a little funny: "What, are you afraid that I, the adjutant who has just taken office, will be poached by others?"
"Hmm!"
Tianxian's simple and clear answer made Gu Li a little stunned for a while.
"Most of the people who come to flatter you as soon as they meet are not good people. ”
Gu Li couldn't help but smile, "Is the person who knocked me out as soon as we met is a good person?"
"Of course!" Tian Xian said unashamedly, "Since it is not a good person who flatters you, it is naturally a good person who stuns you, such as me!"
Gu Li burst out laughing, and the strange atmosphere in the carriage was swept away.
"Hey, hey!"
Gu Li stepped on the instep of Tianxian who was close to her feet, and she was not shy, she simply leaned forward, stared at Tianxian and asked funny: "You came to see me in such a hurry, and now you remind me to beware of other people, why are you so nervous? You can't be obsessed with me, right?"
Facing Gu Li's playful gaze, Tian Xian didn't answer immediately this time, but cast his eyes out of the window, took a slow breath, and then slowly replied: "I'm just...... I don't want the people around me to be hurt. ”
Gu Li was a little surprised, because Tianxian's tone suddenly became heavy.
"You...... What's wrong?"
"In the Silent Forest, when I was caught in the hands of that man in black, I really thought I was going to die, fear. Helpless...... It's as if you're about to fall into an endless abyss. ”
Gu Li's eyes trembled, because Tianxian's voice trembled a little.
"For the first time, I was so scared, I had always thought I was not afraid of anything, and for the sake of a dream that seemed unreal, I risked my life and left my hometown, alone in the silent forest. If it weren't for Uncle Hank, I might have died by now, but I was never scared, but this time, I really felt an incomparably greater sense of fear......"
Tianxian exhaled softly, "I suddenly thought of everyone, and thought of my family...... Thinking about a lot of things, I suddenly felt that I really didn't want to die. I want to live...... I still have a lot of things to do, and a lot of people want to protect ......."
"But!" Tian Xian clenched his feeble fists, "I find that I can't do anything, when faced with something, I can't do anything, that man in black said he would stare at you, staring at Senna! I just ......"
After a pause, Tian Xian smiled bitterly. "I seem to have become weak, you say ......"
Tian Xian turned his head. What I saw was the face that Gu Li was approaching.
Gently, Gu Li hugged Tianxian.
Tianxian's body stiffened, "You ......"
"No, you're not right at all. Gu Li's voice became soothing and soft, as if a trickle made Tianxian suddenly have a strange sense of clarity, "You have never been weak." Never ......"
"Only when a person knows fear can he be truly fearless, and only an ignorant person is completely unafraid of death. A man can only be really mature and strong when he knows what to protect, you are the one I have seen. The bravest and strongest people. ”
Gently kissing Tianxian's forehead, Gu Li smiled, "Don't doubt yourself, you've done well enough." ”
Feeling some strange warm lip prints on his forehead, Tian Xian looked up at Gu Li, "Are you ...... today It's weird. ”
Gu Liwan smiled, "You too." ”
Scratching his head, Tian Xian felt a little embarrassed, and muttered: "I was actually comforted by a stinky woman......"
"What did you say?" Gu Li's face immediately changed.
"Hmm...... Okay!" Tian Xian looked at her and smiled: "Since you say so, then as my adjutant, I will protect you well, if someone bullies you, you can come to me, I will take care of him!"
"Okay!" said Gu Li immediately, "Since you say so, then as my savior, I will definitely take care not to be poached by others before I repay the kindness of your life." ”
There was silence for a while, and the two laughed at the same time......
When the carriage arrived at the back garden of the palace, Tianxian and Guli who came out of it were already in good spirits.
In the back garden, the servants have carefully arranged the tea party scene, the tables and chairs are placed in the gaps of the flowers, and the fragrant tea and snacks are full early. Speaking of which, this kind of tea party is quite popular, because the things discussed are relatively casual, and you don't even have to wear your usual official clothes, and everyone sits together and chats casually, which is the best opportunity to pull the relationship closer.
And generally such a tea party will allow the princes and ministers to bring their own deputies to participate, the first few times they are honest with their deputies to discuss state affairs, but then simply bring their young children over, when it is time to really discuss state affairs, let them leave the communication on their own, Emperor Longyuan simply set up another more casual venue, specifically for these young people to use.
This gives this tea party another layer of meaning.
As soon as Tian Xian and Gu Li appeared, they immediately attracted everyone's attention, these princes and ministers had already learned that the matter to be discussed today was related to Tian Xian, who suddenly came to visit the Longyuan Empire, and it seemed to involve a heavy transfer of money, to say that it was the first time that such a tea party was held because of a single person.
However, these princes and ministers are extremely unfamiliar with Tianxian, and to put it bluntly, Tianxian's reputation in the Longyuan Empire is not very good, first he was listed as a wanted object by the Holy Spirit Temple, and then he made a big fuss in the Thunder Ancient City, and also tied up the princess, it is said that he caused trouble on the northeast border, and he only came here yesterday and defeated Long Jiu in the martial arts arena, which made the royal family lose face......
Everyone looked sideways at Tianxian, and no one came to talk.
However, when they saw Gu Li, one was counted as one, and everyone's eyes in the entire tea party scene instantly lit up.
Gu Li's appearance is indeed not a stunning beauty, nor is it like the four girls who can make a man soft and numb with one look, but her face is extremely clear and bright, coupled with the tight and smooth skin of perennial exercise, the plump and just right upper circumference, and the slender legs under the slender willow waist, Gu Li's body proportions also perfectly interpret how charming the soft curves of the female body are.
Walking behind Tianxian, the waist and limbs naturally swing between the footsteps, swaying, and the whole tea party scene seems to have a little more charming taste.
This kind of self-confidence and beauty that is cared for by people with life in a cruel environment, tempered by blood and fire, and presented from spirit to body, is incomparable to most pampered and pampered young ladies who are sad and sad on weekdays.
Feeling the naked gaze cast all around, although there were Tian Xian's words in front, Gu Li was still a little nervous, and quietly hid behind Tian Xian, and she was suddenly relieved.
"Sure enough, I didn't look away at the beginning!" Suddenly, a voice came from behind Tianxian, with a little regret and a sour feeling......
As soon as Tianxian turned around, he saw Long Jiu in gorgeous clothes, and Long Qi, who was tall and tall beside him, was glaring at him angrily. (To be continued......)
