Her ink-like black hair was tied into a bun and tied firmly on her head.
A small crown was fastened with a wooden hairpin. It was neat and filled with a bit of heroic spirit.
Only the slightly hairy hair at the hairline was curly and fluttering in the wind, revealing her cute attributes.
She put on the grey and blue silk scarf that Wet Nurse Chen had just sent over and wrapped it around her neck. Pulling it up, it covered her cute and straight nose, pink and moist lips, as well as her small, oval shaped chin.
She wrapped the belt around her waist several times. Compared to men, her waist was really too thin.
She tightened the belt with a ruyi buckle and bent down to check the small boots that were a little bigger.
Today, she was the real director of the Dali Monastery!
The kind that received a national salary.
Li Xiao stood up straight and drank a mouthful of tea to moisten her throat. Then, she happily walked out — —
The carriage moved forward and slightly swayed, like a mother's cradle. Today was still a very good day.
"Daren, will Su King be beheaded?"
Li Xiao and Chen Jue rode in the same carriage. She repeatedly pulled her scarf because she was afraid that too much of her face would be exposed. Finally, she couldn't help but ask Chen Jue.
"That's the emperor's family affairs. In the future, don't ask about things that you shouldn't ask." Chen Jue closed his eyes and said softly.
Although his tone was not very harsh, there was an air of absolute indisputability.
Li Xiao hurriedly nodded and said, "Oh."
As soon as the carriage stopped, Li Xiao immediately jumped off the carriage and raised her arm to open the door curtain. She seriously waited for Lord Chen to get off the carriage.
The sun shone on her big eyes and the pink and tender color of her cheeks.
Chen Jue walked to the entrance of the yamen. Li Xiao quickly ran to open the door.
The guards at the door looked sideways at her. Even though she only showed a pair of eyes, her big eyes, long eyelashes, slightly raised phoenix eyes, and blinking, were too beautiful.
Chen Jue walked all the way, and Li Xiao followed him all the way. Everyone who passed by was a little surprised.
Chen Jue had already calmed down. Ever since the little girl took the hundred copper coins, she had been excited until now.
It was as if he could already see the word 'poor' written all over her body.
Lord Chen sat in front of the desk and organized the files, while Li Xiao helped him. She poured tea for Lord Chen and gently blew on it to cool it down for fear that it would burn Lord Chen. It was best if it was slightly hot. She helped Lord Chen find the most suitable cushion until Lord Chen stopped frowning. The weather was stuffy, so she gently fanned Lord Chen. She didn't feel the wind, but it was especially cool …
Zhang Tang sat behind the screen in the back hall and looked over from time to time. Wasn't Lord Chen a little too delicate? He needed someone to wait on him when he was working.
Li Xiao saw that the tea on the table was empty, so she hurriedly stood up and walked outside. The bluestone road was a little slippery. She had to focus on her feet to prevent herself from slipping because of the moss.
When she turned into the corridor and went to the small kitchen, she didn't see anyone coming from the corridor.
Just as she was about to hit him, she let out a scream. She abruptly stopped and leaned forward, the teapot in her hand shaking with the tinkling sound.
The person reached out and grabbed her arm. His strong palm easily stabilized her body.
Li Xiao looked up and saw a tough and cool face. Even when he was expressionless, he looked a little fierce.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Big Brother Wang." Li Xiao was so scared that she took a step back and bowed to apologize.
Wang Yi was also a little distracted, so he almost bumped into Li Xiao.
Seeing that the little girl was startled and lowered her head to apologize, Wang Yi quickly came back to his senses. He reached out and patted her head apologetically. Although he was disappointed, he still tried to force a smile. "It's okay. You didn't bump into me."
His voice was low and gentle. His long voice was like a whirlpool that took away all her emotions. All that was left was her soft body that wanted to fall into his arms.
Li Xiao raised her head and looked into Wang Yi's eyes. In an instant, she was almost completely sucked into his clear eyes.
Wang Yi had single eyelids and long eyes. The corners of his eyes were slightly lowered. His long eyes seemed to have a fierce light, but when he smiled, they were gentle and innocent.
When his sword-like eyebrows curved, they were not sharp. They blended into his facial features and were just as gentle.
"I'll go boil some water for Lord Chen."
Li Xiao's face was slightly red. She smiled at Wang Yi, revealing a pair of curved eyebrows.
Wang Yi finally found some lightheartedness in her smile.
"Don't burn another pot …" He couldn't help but add.
These words immediately dyed Li Xiao's entire face red. She bowed to him, walked around him, and ran away like a wisp of smoke.
Wang Yi turned around, only to see a pair of short legs running away at an extremely fast speed, as if they were stepping on wind and fire wheels. With a whoosh, they disappeared without a trace.
What an innocent and carefree child …
Suddenly, he thought of another beautiful person, the most beautiful and gentle woman he had ever met.
This morning, Wang Yi woke up very early. He brought breakfast to Jade Rabbit Alley and his small courtyard.
Fang Qiong was now living there to prevent miscarriage. He had arranged for an experienced nanny and maid to take care of pregnant women.
The sunlight was not stingy, and the entire courtyard was brightly lit.
He sat at the stone table. Fang Qiong dismissed the maid and personally served him food.
The small pond in the courtyard was filled with water. There were six new koi fish swimming happily in the water. They were so carefree and happy.
Wang Yi was a little distracted.
"The case has been solved. Why are you still so worried?" Fang Qiong reached out and pressed the back of Wang Yi's hand.
This small hand, warm and soft, always comforted him.
He had not been a very confident person since he was young, so he practiced martial arts and studied hard. He wanted to be recognized and changed.
He hoped that one day, he could become really powerful …
Fang Qiong always told him … that he didn't have to care about what others thought, and that he didn't have to work so hard because he was already very good.
She always said that he was the best.
She looked at him affectionately with a gentle and affectionate voice.
In the past, she caressed him and made him happy.
It was as if he had become the happiest person in the world.
But now, the back of his hand that she was caressing made him feel like there were countless ants crawling on it. It made him uncomfortable.
He withdrew his hand and ate a mouthful of porridge without tasting it. Finally, he couldn't help it anymore. "Fang Qiong, isn't the child mine?"
"…" Fang Qiong's hand that was holding the spoon froze. She stared at the spoon for a while before putting it down. Her smile slowly disappeared. She looked up at Wang Yi.
Wang Yi's heart finally sank to the bottom. Her reaction told him that all of this was true and that Xu Ting wasn't talking nonsense.
The child really wasn't his …
But … was it really Xu Ting's?
"You …" Fang Qiong wanted to ask, "How did you know?"
But she felt that it was too annoying to ask this question now.
She took a deep breath and was silent for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry, it's not yours."
"But … you … we were so happy together. You always … you always …" He couldn't go on.
She used to look at him with fascination and always said that he was gentle and strong.
