Chapter 14: Crape Myrtle Blossom vs. Crape Myrtle Lang (Part II)
But after a while, I heard King Xiao say behind him, "The Lone King is tired, if Xiao Wan doesn't place a table of good wine and food, it won't be easy to send the Lone King away!"
"Let Zhan Lu prepare it early. The pen and the fun www.biquge.info are now just waiting for His Highness's orders. Seeing Xiao Anzi standing outside the pavilion, he beckoned to him and called him to come closer, "Go and tell Sister Zhanlu that the prince is having dinner at Duofuxuan tonight." Seeing that he was trotting away in response, Fang turned around and smiled at King Xiao, "In this case, please ask the prince to move to the small flower hall for dinner." Although Xiao Guan is dull, fortunately, he does not have a thoughtful family to rely on, and he will only rely on His Highness in the future. β
King Xiao smiled, took my hand and got up and walked out of the pavilion. On the edge of the path, there were branches bent by the flowers, still trembling in the wind, and the twilight was getting thicker, and the wind was cooler, but his palms were dry and warm.
During dinner, King Xiao was in a good mood and told me interesting stories about his life in the palace when he was a child. The small flower hall was rendered infinitely vibrant by his spirit, and even the candlelight flickered non-stop, bursting one or two candles from time to time, and Zhan Lu, who was accompanying him, was often amused to laugh.
After eating tea, King Xiao went back to Ledao Hall. However, according to the news that Lian Di heard back, Ruan Liangdi personally went to Ledaotang to deliver sugar water, and rested in Ledaotang that night. For this Chifu, when I removed the slit ring, I was very angry with Ruan Shuoren, and muttered for a long time. I also followed her nagging, and I didn't pay attention to King Xiao's favor and Ruan Shuoren, but I began to get upset because of the approaching August 15. I hastily took off my makeup and lay down to rest, but I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.
The next day, I was lazy, much later than usual. I was restless, I couldn't do anything, and the embroidered pillow was also with the wrong needle, so I had to dismantle it and redo it. Seeing me like this, Chifu asked quietly when no one was around, "Is Miss hesitant to make a decision about Gongzi Xie's appointment with Baohua Temple tomorrow?"
I replied sullenly, dropped my needle and thread, and sat down against the railing of the pavilion. There wasn't even a hint of wind, and the air was unpleasantly humid. "I'm useless, Chifu. The things that had been decided on the night of entering the house are still in my mind today. Under the pretext of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is not difficult to go to Baohua Temple to see Brother Changruo, but it is not difficult for him and me to do all kinds of harm and no benefit, so why bother to meet and increase the relationship. I have already thought about things clearly, but I am always restless and difficult to let go. It's really gentle. β
"Miss used to be very good, but now she just cares about it. Since the young lady can't let go of her affection with Gongzi Xie, why not see it at first sight? As long as we act carefully, it should be fine. β
My heart moved, Chifu's words were fascinating, enough for me to see Changruo regardless of it. Or, maybe Changruo can take me out of Xiao Wang's Mansion, and from then on, I will live a life like a fairy couple who does not care about the world, and I will no longer be involved with anyone in the harem and court of Daqi, let him disturb him. Thinking of this, my heart flew lightly like a paper crane with wings spread.
However, after a pause in my gaze, I touched the crape myrtle flowers that bloomed to the end outside the pavilion, and I finally gritted my teeth and said, "No, I won't go to the appointment." If he rashly went out of the mansion as King Xiao's concubine to meet Changruo privately, how much trouble it would bring him, I don't know anymore. What's more, King Xiao is already my nominal husband, and he is the one to rely on for future planning, and I really don't have the face to go behind his back to see Changruo. β
Chifu took me in her arms and gently stroked my backβjust as she did when she was a child. "Miss can't let go of her love for Gongzi Xie, and she can't ignore her morality to her clansmen, and she doesn't want to deviate from her boudoir upbringing since she was a child. Love and righteousness have been difficult to resolve since ancient times, so why should you be so self-suffering? β
I smiled wryly, "It's me who is greedy." If you ask more, you will worry more......" Before she finished speaking, she heard Chloe's voice greeting Chifu, "Aunt Chifu, the prince told Xiao Anzi to come and invite his wife to Ledao Hall." It was said that the ladies who were favored took the call. β
Chifu scolded with a smile, "What a shallow-eyed little girl, what's wrong with this? β
