I was reborn by the emperor

Chapter 42

When it was time for dinner, Lu Jieming still didn't come back, it was still hot tonight, fortunately there was still some cool breeze.

The sticky sweat on the body is even cooler when the wind blows.

After watching Concubine Rong go to bed, Xu Lianlang left the Tower of Clouds with a jug of wine. The closer to the lake, the lower the temperature, the branches drooped, and the crescent moon hung upside down on the water.

She looked at the sparkling water, stretched her fingers to the surface of the river, touched a few pebbles, squeezed them in her palm, and threw them farther on the water.

The pebbles skimmed across the water, disturbing the fish in the river. She waited for a while, and saw that the boat on the river did not move at all. The curtain of the boat was tightly covered, and she could not see what was going on inside.

In the past few years, she has always been thinking about Eunuch Li Ri in her heart, and she often comes to accompany him, and sits for a while with a flagon.

Li Ri's father-in-law was already very good to her, but she failed to fulfill his father-in-law's wish. Li Ri used his life as a weight to let her know the danger of Lu Jieming. She had to remember this kindness.

She sat straight on the shore, holding her knees with her hands, and resting her delicate chin on her knees, while the croaking of frogs and cicadas could be heard not far away.

Eunuch Li Ri doesn't like Lu Jieming very much. In his own words, those things are in the past. He tried his best, but Xu Lianlang refused, and he couldn't help it.

Because of Aunt Xu, he couldn't harden his heart on Xu Lianlang, and he still kept in touch with each other on a daily basis, but he almost completely avoided Lu Jieming in his words.

Xu Lianlang knew that Li Ri complained about her stubbornness on the one hand, and fear and hatred of Lu Jieming on the other hand.

In the past few years, Lu Jieming has grown up too fast. When he was eleven or twelve years old, he could single-handedly hold him hostage. Now that he is strong and tall, Li Ri is more like a chicken in front of him.

Eunuch Li Ri thought that his life was not long enough, so he avoided Shuoyun Pavilion even more.

After all, when Xu Lianlang fell into the water that time, he said that in a hurry, and he would not be afraid until he reacted.

After trembling for a long time, Lu Jieming didn't come to look for him, so he was relieved.

There were so many mosquitoes near the river at night, she was bitten by mosquitoes all over her arms after sitting for a short time, and her arms were painful and itchy when she scratched.

She bent down again to pick up a few stones, smashed them into the water vigorously, made four or five "booms", but there was no movement, Xu Lianlang knew that Eunuch Li Ri was not there.

Li Rijiu was sleeping on the boat, and it was always difficult for her to find him, so she came up with this method, throwing stones became a secret signal between them.

Xu Lianlang missed the last stone and threw it in the southeast direction. Instead of hearing the sound of the stone falling into the water, he heard the barking of a milk dog.

The puppy's voice was very thin and weak. Xu Lianlang hurried to look at it. The voice was too faint. She recognized it carefully. The road was really dark. She didn't carry a lamp, her eyes couldn't adapt to the darkness, and she bumped into a person suddenly.

His forehead was pressed against the man's back. His bones were hard, and his muscles were tense. When he bumped into it, his forehead hit hard. Xu Lianlang clutched his forehead and apologized quickly.

The man was standing in the backlight, his whole body was hidden in the darkness, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but from the shadows, it could be seen that this man was tall and had thick back muscles, so he might not be a father-in-law.

In the palace, except for the father-in-law, the most guards are guards, but the guards usually stay on the outskirts of the palace area and rarely visit this place.

She immediately raised her vigilance to 120 points, and unconsciously stepped back a few steps, but the man walked towards her step by step, his tall body was very oppressive.

Xu Lianlang originally wanted to turn around and run away, to protect himself wisely in the palace, to be less curious when seeing strange people is the correct way, but as soon as his right foot moved back, the man said, "Don't move."

The voice was deep and steady, completely different from the eunuch's shrill voice.

After he reminded him, Xu Lianlang realized that the corner of his skirt was being gently pulled.

She knelt down to look, and saw the milk dog nestled at her feet. The milk dog opened its mouth and bit the corner of her skirt and pulled it to the side. It didn't even have teeth. After pulling it twice, the fabric came out of it. slipping out of the dog's mouth.

The milk dog is very close to her, and she will step on it with a slight movement of her right foot.

It really hurt from being hit by her, the milk dog's eyes were wet, she put her hand on it, and it started howling again, its small body trembling.

The moon moved its place, and without the cover of the clouds, the light came through completely.

The milk dog's pupils were shiny, and it looked at Xu Lianlang without blinking. Xu Lianlang held it in his arms and checked whether it was hurt by the moonlight.

After a closer look, he found many wounds, the pads were still bleeding, and his hind legs could not be straightened.

The milk dog was afraid of her, and tossed and tossed in its arms a few times. Xu Lianlang couldn't help it. When the milk dog was about to jump out of her arms, a pair of big hands stretched out a small blanket, and covered the milk dog from beginning to end. The dog hugged.

The owner of these hands also came out of the shadows completely, the moonlight spread behind him, sprinkled all over the embankment, and his face was coated with a layer of soft brilliance by the moonlight.

He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, eyebrows like mountains, eyes like scorching sun, thick lips, and there is a righteousness between the brows that touches people's hearts.

Some people are good-looking enough to make people trust for no reason, and they label him as a good person for no reason.

This person is such a person.

As if noticing Xu Lianlang's scrutiny, he grinned slightly, "I should have scared you just now, I just want to remind you to be careful of the dog under your feet."

Only at this moment did Xu Lianlang realize that he had a dimple on the left side of his face, the dimple was deep, and it would appear when he spoke.

Xu Lianlang kept a safe distance from him, "It's okay, thanks to your reminder, I accidentally hurt it just now."

The dog nestled quietly in his arms, poked its head out from under the blanket, looked at Xu Lianlang, and then at the person holding it, and gave Xu Lianlang a "beep", which was really endearing.

Seeing the dog's appearance, Xu Lianlang felt a little like Lu Jieming.

It was a dirty dog, but its eyes were astonishingly bright. It was terribly afraid of strangers. While secretly looking at it, it also subconsciously used its eyes coquettishly.

Xu Lianlang loves Wu and Wu, and because of the subtle similarity, he has infinite affection for this milk dog.

She pointed to the wound on the puppy's leg, "This... Brother guard, is this dog yours?"

She hesitated for a moment. The Rehe Palace is considered a royal holy place, and it is impossible for ordinary people to easily enter. She chose between "son" and "guard", and quickly chose to call him brother guard.

The man curled up his fist and pressed it against his lips. His lips were pulled away, but the peak of his lips was obviously parted. He was smiling.

Xu Lianlang couldn't figure it out, but she couldn't figure out what was so funny about it. She was concerned about the milk dog, so she unconsciously moved closer.

"Brother guard, what's your name?" Under the moonlight, the woman's apricot eyes shone brightly.

He froze for a moment, and when he realized it, Xu Lianlang's hand had already rubbed the furry head of the milk dog, "What's its name?"

There were two questions in a row, and he didn't know which one to answer first.

Xu Lianlang didn't mind very much, she was carefully comparing whether this milk dog was easy to rub, or the prince of their family was easy to rub.

After comparing them, I still prefer the one from her family.

Lu Jieming's hair is very soft, and he won't move it when he rubs it. He looks like he's letting her do whatever he wants, and the milk dog will raise his head and bite her hand.

"My surname is Dou..."

Xu Lianlang let out an "oh" and responded, "Hello Guard Dou".

"Guard Dou" couldn't laugh or cry, the woman was smart and lovely, her appearance was no worse than that of many ladies from noble families in the capital he had seen, and even higher, especially those clean and clear almond eyes.

There is no sophistication, let alone utilitarianism, like an apricot tree growing obliquely under the drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River, under the misty rain, only this yellow and bright.

He cleared his throat, lowered his head and looked at her carefully, "I saw it by accident, and I haven't named it yet."

He explained: "I heard from the father-in-law over there that a dog raised by a nobleman was killed by a dog outside... um...", he thought about it, but the words he used were not very elegant, so he vaguely said, " One mother gave birth to a single child. The nobleman thought it was impure and had a bad coat color, so he threw it out and left it to fend for itself. It was too small. When I saw it, it fell into the lake Li, almost died."

It was only then that Xu Lianlang realized that the milk dog's hair was still damp, especially the belly part, which was damp, only the head was dry.

She exclaimed, "He's still injured, and soaking in water will make it worse. No wonder the soles of his feet are still bleeding."

Bodyguard Dou took out a folded handkerchief from his sleeve, and as soon as he took it out, the milk dog stretched its neck and leaned over there.

He had no choice but to put the non-stop milk dog on the ground, Xu Lianlang saw his intention, stretched out his two hands, and signaled with a smile that he could put it in her arms.

Bodyguard Dou pursed his lips tightly, suppressing the untimely movement in his heart, and at the same time he put the milk dog on her hand, his fingers and Xu Lianlang's fingers inevitably touched each other. When the skin touched, the body temperature passed, and the two of them They were all surprised.

Xu Lianlang hastily withdrew his hand, lowered his head, and looked helplessly at the milk dog gobbling up the pastries.

"Looking at how hungry it was, I went to find a pastry and put it where it was."

Bodyguard Dou broke the embarrassment first, but Xu Lianlang snatched the pastries out of its mouth. The milk dog is very obedient and does not protect food.

"It's too small, maybe I can't eat it." She broke the pastry in half and wanted to mash it, but found that the pastry was hard, so she had to give up. The milk dog whined and complained about acting like a baby.

Xu Lianlang liked it more and more, so he asked him, "I wonder if Guard Dou has any plans to raise him?"

How could Guard Dou fail to see the love in her eyes? Naturally, he would not steal her favors, "I'm a bit busy with errands, so I'm afraid there's nothing I can do."

Xu Lianlang couldn't restrain the corners of his mouth from turning up, his voice was sweet and soft, "Then I'll raise it, my family is poor, but it's okay to have such a small thing."

She happily picked up the dog, pinched its ears, let the milk dog lie on her arm, and said very generously: "If Guard Dou misses it, you can come to me to see it, you rescued it, I raised it , we are one and a half."

Bodyguard Dou was amused by her, and his dimples deepened, "May I ask what your name is?"

"Xu Lianlang."

Dou Xihui recited the name silently in her mouth, her dark eyebrows curled up. This trip tonight has gained a lot.

He avoided so many eyes and came here for the prince, but the prince didn't make it to him, so he made money when he met this girl.

When Xu Lianlang brought the milk dog back to Shongyun Pavilion, Lu Jieming was standing outside the door of her west wing, with his head down, wondering what he was thinking.

His cheeks were flushed, and his feet were scuffing the soil, looking full of awkwardness.

"Woof!" Before she had time to call him, the dog in her arms barked first.

The author has something to say: Mrs. Jinjiang got stuck tonight and wanted to update the card several times
