After returning to her residence, Xiqian ate a few mouthfuls of lunch with a look of sadness and then hid in the inner room. Perhaps because the weather was getting warmer, she fell asleep not long after lying on the bed.
This night, Xi Qian slept very restlessly. Various situations kept changing in her dream, as if she was in a psychedelic world. She was groping around trying to find an exit, but the dream kept extending.
"Xixian!" Suddenly she heard a familiar voice and turned around to see Yuwen Haoxuan smiling and extending his hand to her.
"Your Majesty!" She stretched out her hands and ran towards him, but he was retreating step by step.
"Don't go, take me out." She looked desperately at Yuwen Haoxuan who disappeared in the haze.
"No one can save you, just give up!" Another voice sounded. Xi Qian looked up and saw Wang Zhaoyi standing in front of the gate of Wanyun Palace in gorgeous clothes. Yu Wen Haoxuan looked at her indifferently.
There is no trace of temperature.
Xi Qian wanted to step forward to argue, but the situation changed again in the blink of an eye. A lotus pond appeared in front of her, with countless pink lotuses swaying on the green lotus leaves, but the petals that should have been beautiful were exuding a seductive charm for no reason.
She looked around helplessly. Everywhere she could see was the boundless sea of lotus, with only an inch of fertile soil under her feet.
Suddenly a burst of laughter like silver bells came, and Xi Xuan's nerves became tense again. Xia Yingying seemed to be floating on the lotus leaf, and her pink dress seemed to be integrated with the lotus.
"Where is this place?" she asked in a panic, but Xia Yingying just looked at her and smiled, as if she hadn't heard. She wanted to ask again, but Xia Yingying's body suddenly changed. She suddenly became taller and her facial features
It also gradually became three-dimensional, and finally turned into the appearance of Xia Zizhao.
"Who is this monster? You dare to desecrate my holy land." Xia Zizhao said, drawing out a bright sword and slashing at her face. Xi Qian fell to the ground in fright, and instantly fell into a black hole where she couldn't even see her fingers.
"Is there anyone? Is there anyone?" She shouted with a trembling voice, but no one responded to her, and she could not see the environment she was in. She only felt damp and cold.
"Sister, sister???" A faint voice came from the distance, it was Xuechun! Xiqian became energetic and staggered towards the source of the sound in the darkness.
Xuechun gently called to the sweaty Xiqian, and when he saw that she was unconscious, he gave her a few gentle pushes.
"Ah!" Xiqian screamed and sat up suddenly, sweat beads falling down her cheeks.
"Is it a nightmare? I screamed for a long time and couldn't wake up!" Xuechun hurriedly put a coat on her to avoid catching cold.
Xi Zhi looked at Xue Chun intently, and a stream of tears mixed with sweat fell together. Her mood was like surviving a disaster.
"What's going on? I was just dreaming, hasn't my sister woke up yet?" Xuechun smiled brightly, like a ray of sunshine shining into the darkness just now.
Xiqian smiled slightly, her emotions had calmed down a lot, but her heart was still beating hard. Looking at the sun that had moved to the west, she sighed softly, "Why did you sleep for so long?"
"I wanted to wake you up in the middle of the afternoon, but I couldn't bear to see you sleeping soundly." Xuechun gently wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Ms. Xia came over when you just fell asleep at noon.
Seeing that you were taking a nap, she left and said she would come back at this time, so I guess she will be here soon."
"What is she here for?" Xi Qian was startled. She didn't want to be used as a messenger again, and it was such a thankless job.
"She didn't say anything, but it seemed like it was nothing serious. Maybe she just wanted to chat." Xuechun said while helping her change out of her sweat-soaked clothes.
Xiqiu frowned slightly. She couldn't think of anything else that Xia Yingying could do to come to her except to send a message, so she simply didn't think about it. She would know it when the time came.
Just when I was thinking about which pair of earrings to wear, I heard footsteps moving slightly outside the door curtain, and then a very ordinary voice sounded, "Miss, have you gotten up? My lady is here to see you."
"Hurry up and serve tea. I'll dress up myself." Following her instructions, Xuechun lifted the curtain and walked out of the inner room.
Not long after, she packed up and came to the front room where she was waiting for guests. She saw Xia Yingying sitting at the table, sipping tea, still looking calm and virtuous.
When she saw the maid Qiu'er beside her, Xi Xian paused in her steps. She really couldn't associate the person who had deliberately sent someone to spy on her with Xia Yingying in front of her. Maybe she was overthinking, she comforted herself in her heart.
, showing a little smile calmly.
"Ms. Xia has been kept waiting for a long time. She didn't have a good rest yesterday, so she took a nap in the afternoon." Xi Xian stepped forward with a smile and saluted.
It’s better to give my sister a clear dream.”
The two sat down facing each other. Xi Qian felt that she had nothing to talk to, so she asked directly, "I wonder why Miss Xia is here today?"
Perhaps because she was used to her directness, Xia Yingying was not surprised. She directly took a brocade box from Qiu'er's hand and placed it in front of her. It was exactly the same as last time, except that this brocade box was larger than last time.
Xiqian's heart skipped a beat, thinking that she didn't really think that she was the microphone, right?
She was still muttering in her heart, but Xia Yingying said, "My sister came here specifically to thank my sister this time."
Xiqian raised her head and looked at her in surprise, but Xia Yingying had already blushed and lowered her head, looking shy in love. Xiqian was puzzled. Yuwen Haoxuan's attitude that day was obviously that he didn't want to accept it. Why?
There have been earth-shaking changes in just a few days?
"I picked this Bu Yao out of thousands of people, and I ask my sister to accept it."
Xiqian came to her senses and hurriedly dismissed her, "I just ran an errand and didn't help much. How dare I accept the gift from the young lady."
"Sister, do you think my sister's gift is too little? I've been at home all day, and I don't have much gold or silver on me. This is the best gift I can get." Xia Yingying said with a layer of mist in her eyes,
He clasped his fingers together nervously.
"Miss, I misunderstood. I didn't mean it like that. If Miss insists, I'll just accept it." Xi Qian was most afraid of her showing such an expression, as if she had done something sinful.
Xia Yingying wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile, "My sixteenth birthday will be in three days. My brother said he would make a great event for me, so you must come that day."
"That's natural." Xi Qian agreed without much thought. She was staying at someone else's house. Of course, she would congratulate them on their happy event.
"Why don't you just wear the sway I gave you." Xia Yingying held her hand warmly and said, and she nodded as she acquiesced.
After seeing Xia Yingying off, Xi Qian slumped down on the seat. She didn't know why both brothers and sisters made her feel physically and mentally exhausted.
"Wow! It's so gorgeous!" Xuechun opened the brocade box given by Xia Yingying and exclaimed in surprise.
Xi Qian looked into the brocade box and frowned slightly. Although the step wave was gorgeous and expensive, it had a faint taste of vulgarity. Seeing that Xia Yingying was always very particular about her clothes, how could she be given such a step wave?
What? She couldn't figure it out but didn't want to bother. Ren Xuechun put it away and ignored it.
