Fast Transmigration: Non-Toxic and No Heroine

Chapter 24 The Empress Dowager (4)

Chapter 24

The guard leading the way stopped outside a courtyard gate and said nothing.

Li Jing's eyes moved slightly and she walked straight in.

When she saw Xia Houqi before, he was in the mist and couldn't see clearly, so when she saw Xia Houqi clearly, her calm eyes shook a little.

He sat quietly in the pavilion, holding the chess pieces with one hand, as if he sensed her coming, turned his head slightly, and his face was clearly in her sight.

Li Jing's footsteps stopped involuntarily.

He wore half a silver mask on his face, his long and narrow red phoenix eyes looked at her without a trace of emotion, and his pale thin lips looked so cool.

He only glanced at her indifferently, then looked away, and continued to play chess with himself gracefully.

Tuanzi fluttered in confusion: "Jingjing, why don't you leave?"

Li Jing did not answer its words and walked towards the pavilion with twinkling eyes.

His look just now was too intimidating, and those deep swirling eyes made her feel very familiar for a moment, so she froze in place.

As soon as she walked into the pavilion, his deep and magnetic voice sounded: "What's your business?"

Li Jing quickly went through the plot of this world in her mind, and stood in front of him with a calm expression: "Don't you remember me?"

Tuanzi was surprised: "Jingjing, what are you doing?"

Xia Houqi put down the white chess in his hand, and glanced at her coldly: "I don't remember."

She quietly looked at his deep pupils, the corners of her lips curved slightly: "Seven years ago, Mingxiufang, Seventh Brother, you really don't remember?"

He seemed a little moved: "Could it be...you are Xiaoxue?"

She nodded.

Seven years ago, she hadn't adapted to being the daughter of the servant of the Ministry of Rites of the enemy country, and she would wake up in nightmares every night. The tragic end of Xuemo Kingdom made her change from a fat and white girl to a thin and gloomy girl.

At that time, Xia Houqi's legs were still intact, and he was full of vigor and integrity.

Because Shuhe was worried about her, he took her to the famous Xiufang on the lake with beautiful scenery, and made her happy facing the shimmering lake every day.

It was at that time that she met Xia Houqi who was also playing in Mingxiufang. In her eyes, he seemed to be a warm sun, gradually dispelling the darkness in her heart.

Thinking of this, Li Jing pursed her lips: "I still remember, when you were standing in the sun, I couldn't see your face clearly because of the light, I just thought you were shining golden, and then you said 'Hey, this is What a lost pearl?"

Xia Houqi was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed out loud: "At that time you timidly asked me if I was a god."

When he smiled, his cold face turned into sunlight, and even those long and narrow red phoenix eyes were warmed, as if what she saw of him before was an illusion.

No wonder this smile, as warm as the sunshine in May, can dispel the darkness in the original mind.

After clarifying their identities, the barrier between them seemed to disappear. He seemed to have returned to that high-spirited time, and when he wanted to touch her head habitually, his outstretched hand froze in the air. The warmth around him gradually faded away.

Li Jing's eyes flickered slightly, she knelt down slowly, her black and white eyes stared straight at him.

He put his hand on her head and touched it lightly. The smile on the corner of his mouth was a bit bitter: "Xiaoxue has grown into a big girl, and I..."

At this time, she should want to comfort him, so as to shorten their distance and deepen their relationship. After all, a little sister whom she hasn't seen for many years can't compete with Leng Yanqing who has already been tempted.

But she didn't know how to comfort her, she just said: "Seventh Brother, always Seventh Brother."

He stretched out his hand to pull her up, motioning her to sit on the stone bench, with some doubts in his low voice: "Xiaoxue, how did you find me?"

She lowered her eyelids, and they only got along with each other for a month in Mingxiufang, and they haven't seen each other since then...

"When I was in the workshop, I heard someone call you the First Prince."

In fact, Yuanshen didn't hear it, and didn't know that the big brother who let her out of the darkness was Xia Houqi. Although she went to Mingxiufang many times, she never met him again. Instead, she met Su Chengchao, and slowly I fell into his sweet talk.

Xia Houqi didn't doubt it, and just smiled slightly: "So that's the case, but I didn't know until now that you are Li Qingqing, the daughter of the servant of the Ministry of Rites. After I brought you in a few days ago, I asked someone to check your identity. Don't you Do you blame me for that?"

She was about to reply when suddenly a guard quickly came outside the pavilion and knelt down on one knee: "Master, the maid in charge of Li Qizheng's mansion, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, brought a few guards outside to ask for an audience."

Xia Houqi glanced at Li Jing meaningfully: "Your mansion got the news quite quickly."

In fact, it is not too fast, seeing that they will enter the palace in three days, it would be strange if Shu He and the others were not in a hurry.

Li Jing glanced at the guard who was still kneeling outside, but didn't care about him, looked at Xiahou Qi, and said earnestly: "Brother Qi, I came to you this time to hope that you can help me, I don't want to enter the palace as a concubine."

He looked back at her quietly, his eyes darkened: "Go and invite them in."

"Yes."

After the guards left, Xiahou Qicai looked at her without saying a word.

Li Jing frowned slightly, several thoughts flashed through her mind, and finally turned into a sentence: "Seventh brother, I don't want to marry."

The dumpling floated above their heads, exasperated: "Jingjing, don't you want to marry Xiahoushen but Xiahouqi? How can you complete the task by staying in this temple for the rest of your life? Ah, do you want to let Xiahou Seven usurpers?!"

Li Jing turned a blind eye to what it said, and calmly waited for Xia Houqi's response.

He met her gaze with complicated eyes: "Why?"

Of course it's because there is no good fruit to eat after getting married, not to mention, she doesn't want to have close contact with people... Li Jing saw him sitting in a wheelchair, and suddenly said, "Seventh brother, will you marry me?"

The idea of ​​marrying Xiahou Qi had been in her mind when she went to Ding'an Temple.

He has the ability to protect himself, and he has the ability to fight against Xiahoushen. If he can be persuaded to fight against Xiahoushen together, then there is hope for completing the mission.Moreover, it is safer to marry him.

Yes, safe.

She doesn't want to have sex with anyone casually.Therefore, it is not impossible for Xiahou Qi, who has paralyzed legs, to marry him.

Xia Houqi put his hands on the handles of the wheelchair, and his deep magnetic voice was slightly dangerous: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Of course." She couldn't say anything nice, and she didn't say whether she had affection for him, "If I must marry someone, then I will marry you."

She doesn't want to marry anyone else who is able-bodied.

Pleasant laughter overflowed from his mouth, and the cold half of the silver mask seemed to be dyed with a soft light.
