To Hold One’s Joy

Chapter 428: unwilling

  Chapter 428 Reluctant

  At this time of year, the leaves of the persimmon trees are thinning, and the skins of the persimmon fruits hanging all over the branches are covered with hoarfrost, which really looks like they have turned white heads.

  A total of white heads, what a beautiful word.

  Luo Sheng quietly looked at the man who said these words to her.

  He is tall, even if she is considered tall among women, she still has to look up into his eyes.

  Those eyes were black and clear, full of sincerity and expectation.

  Luo Sheng's throat was astringent, and his lips moved.

   Wei Han held his breath and waited for her answer.

   "I don't want to."

  The girl's answer was very light, as if crushed by the late autumn wind, it blew into Wei Han's ears little by little, and then fell into his heart.

  His heart ached instantly.

got rejected.

   Wei Han stared blankly at the young girl who was right in front of him.

   He was not surprised by this result, but he still felt uncomfortable.

  He tasted the resentment, but he didn't ask the word "why", but smiled at the expressionless girl: "Then let's go to the lobby for tea."

  Luo Sheng's tone was calm, as if nothing had happened: "My lord, go and drink, I'll go back to the room first."

   Wei Han was silent for a moment, and said hello.

  The two separated beside the persimmon tree, one walked to the lobby and the other to the house.

   Farther and farther away.

  The room was quiet, Luo Sheng raised his hand and rubbed his cold and stiff face, looking at the lonely persimmon tree in the courtyard through the carved window.

  King Kaiyang invited her to spend the first couple of years...so it wasn't because she was passionate about those few times.

  Luo Sheng laughed at himself.

  She just said that she is not a passionate person.

  After laughing, there is a long silence.

  Footsteps were heard outside the house.

  Luo Sheng was still looking out the window, and saw with his own eyes a persimmon suddenly fall from a branch, smashing to pieces.

   Such a sweet persimmon, what a pity.

  Just passing this thought, a voice came from outside the curtain: "Girl, can I come in?"

  Luo Sheng withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Come in."

  Xiuyue walked in gently.

   "Is there anything wrong?" Luo Sheng asked with a smile.

  Xiuyue felt that that smile made people feel sad, so she said silently: "Girl, King Kaiyang... is a very good person..."

  The most important thing is to be kind to the princess.

  The princess is too difficult and too tired.

  Luo Sheng lowered his eyes and did not speak for a long time.

   "Princess—" Xiuyue didn't know how to persuade her, but couldn't help but speak.

  Luo Sheng raised his eyes and smiled: "But his surname is Wei."

  Wei Qiang was abolished, but Pingnan Palace is still there.

  Even if the Pingnan Palace fell—Luo Sheng turned his eyes and looked in the direction of the imperial city.

  Pingnan Palace fell, and there was a bigger mountain pressing on his head.

  By then, it would be nice if they weren't enemies.

  Xiuyue also fell silent after hearing Luo Sheng's words.

   Wei Han sat in the lobby, drinking tea one cup after another.

  Shi Yan couldn't bear to see it, so he leaned over and said, "Master, why don't I bring you a jug of wine?"

  Drink tea like this, can your stomach bear it?

   "An altar."

  Shi Yan was stunned for a moment, and quickly brought a jar of wine.

  The liquor is clear and the aroma is intoxicating.

   Wei Han finished his drink silently, got up and left.

  When Luo Sheng came out, he saw that the wine table by the window was empty, with only lonely wine jars and wine bowls left.

  Shi Yan sighed: "Our master has a bad stomach, it hurts badly after drinking too much wine."

  Luo Sheng took a deep look at him.

  Shi Yan continued to sigh: "It seems that I won't come to eat at night, and if I can't eat in the mansion, it will be even more uncomfortable..."

  Luo Sheng was inexplicably irritable when he heard it, and said lightly: "I know your master has a stomachache from drinking too much, so you still bring him a jar of wine?"

  Shi Yan was stunned by the question.

   "You don't want to eat dinner, it's better to be in trouble with the master."

  Shi Yan's eyes darkened, and he fell down on the chair, ten thousand unwilling: Why, everyone is a husband and wife who have the same blessings and share the same difficulties. Is it appropriate for him to be given such a high treatment by a small guard?

  Miss Luo is venting her anger!

   vent anger—

  Shi Yan blinked and figured out some meaning: Miss Luo is distressed.

   From this point of view, Miss Luo is not so heartless.

   No, he wants to tell his master about this discovery, lest the master give up on himself and dare not even come to the wine shop in the future.

   Seeing that it was still early for the wine shop to open, the little guard slipped out, took a date from the branch of the date tree at the door and threw it into his mouth.

  A carriage stopped not far away, and Princess Changle walked quickly.

  Shi Yan hurriedly swallowed the dates, and watched Princess Changle enter the wine shop with his own eyes.

  Princess Changle came to see Miss Luo again?

  The little guard muttered in his heart, and went to Kaiyang Palace.

  Luo Sheng looked at the empty wine jar in front of him, felt inexplicably an eyesore, and ordered: "Hongdou, clean up the table."

   "Hey." Hong Dou crisply responded, tidying up the table.

   There is nothing to clean up, just an empty wine jug and an empty wine bowl. In a blink of an eye, the table becomes empty, and even the spilled wine has been wiped clean.

  Luo Sheng lowered his eyes to cover his emotions, and walked back.

   "A Sheng—"

  Luo Sheng turned around.

  Princess Changle acted as if no one was approaching, and casually ordered Sheng Sanlang: "Give me a jug of orange wine."

  After the orange wine was served, Sheng Saburo ran away quickly.

  Princess Changle cast a puzzled glance over at Luo Sheng, and said to Luo Sheng, "Ah Sheng, you cousin has a round figure, but his movements are quite neat."

   Sheng Saburo, who was hiding behind the curtain, twisted his expression.

  What is a round body?

  But then he breathed a sigh of relief: roundness is roundness, in the eyes of Princess Changle, roundness is safer than Yushu Linfeng.

  He has been worried these days that he will be robbed face-to-face by the princess, and he ate an extra bowl after a stressful meal.

  Luo Sheng glanced at the slightly shaking door curtain from the corner of his eye, and said with a smile, "Yes, my cousin is quite capable."

  Princess Changle took a sip of the sweet and sour orange wine, and revealed her true intentions: "A Sheng, hasn't Su Yao come to drink recently?"

  Luo Sheng shook his head calmly: "I haven't come for some days."

  It has been a while since Princess Changle saw Su Yao for the first time in the wine shop, and it gradually spread that Princess Changle has a fancy for Xinke Zhuangyuan Lang.

   It is said that Zhuangyuan Lang's favor for Princess Changle is not false.

  Princess Changle held the wine glass with a smile and said: "This is avoiding me."

  She looked like a flower with a smile on her face, and the wind was calm, but Luo Sheng saw in her eyes that she was bound to win.

   "He is the fiance of the little princess."

  Princess Changle laughed when Luo Sheng said this: "In my eyes, there are only men who are attractive and ugly men."

  Whose fiancé, what does it matter?

  Princess Changle put down her wine glass and stood up: "A Sheng, I'm leaving first, and I'll have a drink when the restaurant opens."

  Luo Sheng got up and sent Princess Changle to the door, watching the gorgeous carriage parked on the roadside gradually go away.

  Princess Changle, who was sitting in the carriage, lazily ordered the maid: "Let the coachman go directly to the Imperial Academy."

  If the mountain doesn't come, she will go to the mountain. Can a living person with a name and surname still have wings and fly?

   Just one update today. Sorry, I can't hold on to double updates recently because of my physical condition.
