Shen Man rolled in bed all night, thinking about a question all the time. Last night, Tang Jiuyue personally took her out of the palace, and walked all the way along the royal street avenue in front of the palace gate for a long time, until she came to the jade steps of Taige, she stopped, raised her hand and gently brushed the dead leaves on her shoulders that were stained at some point, and then said, "Stay away from the palace." β
Her eyes were as soft as water. But such an exhortation is really unrealistic, she has to take the Yin-Yang Dao test, and it is impossible for her to leave the palace.
But Tang Jiuyue smiled, turned around and went back to Taige. Looking at her back as she gradually walked away, Shen Man was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses and following up. Although Tang Jiuyue ordered that the people of Taige could not help themselves, they still lived in Taige.
The next day, the sun was exceptionally soft and warm.
When Shen Man got up, a figure fell outside.
The big tongue of the lime has been taken back, which shows that Tang Jiuyue's acupuncture is really effective. The clothes she wears are brightly colored, and her movements are light and cute. As soon as he came in, he sat on Shen Man's bed, stroked the sheets and winked and said, "I heard that the gate supervisor personally went to the palace to pick you up last night?" β
"yes, yes." Shen Man looked at Lime and always felt that what she said was more than just gossip.
Sure enough, Lime touched his chin and said, "The gate supervisor is really interested in you, I used to squat at the base of the wall all night when I was pulled into the palace, and when I came back, I had a high fever all night. Later, I found out that this was the person who brought me into the palace to rectify me and make me suffer alive. β
"Ning Guifei doesn't look like such a person......"
"Stupid," Lime suddenly jumped up and knocked Shen Man's head, "Of course it won't be Concubine Ning, she won't be so boring and trick me as a little gatekeeper!" β
"And who else?"
Lime knocked Shen Man again, "Stupid! Who else but that unruly princess? β
Shen Man let out an "oh", it turned out to be Princess Decheng, she seemed to have always been at odds with Tang Jiuyue, and it was normal to be in a bad mood to find fault one day. It's just that she didn't dare to touch Tang Jiuyue, so she used Tang Jiuyue's henchman Lime to open the knife, which can be regarded as killing chickens and setting an example.
But didn't Tang Jiuyue know that Lime was tricked by Decheng at that time? Or is she reluctant to interfere with anyone but herself?
Thinking of Tang Jiuyue's intimate attitude last night, Shen Man felt sweet in his heart.
A sound of Suo Suo came into his ears, and Shen Man looked back and was startled. "Lady Gatekeeper, what are you holding my futon for?"
I saw Lime struggling to hold the quilt on Shen Man's bed, because she was petite and the bedding was heavy, so the whole person was covered behind the huge futon, only two thin legs were exposed. At first glance, it looks like a futon with two legs, which is quite funny.
Shen Man sneered, "Could it be that you want to help me dry the quilt?" β
Lime's voice was muffled, "Yes, I was ordered by the gate warden to dry your quilt." However, it is not dried in Taige, but thrown outside Taige to dry. She struggled to take a few steps forward with the futon, but unfortunately hit the door, and then the whole person was bounced back along with the quilt. So the quilt stumbled a few steps, but fortunately it didn't fall to the ground. He tilted his head and said to Shen Man, "You open this door here for me too." β
As soon as Shen Man heard what she meant, could it be that Tang Jiuyue wanted to expel him from the Taige?
"Lime Gatekeeper, is the Gatekeeper going to kick me out?"
Lime re-checked the futon and said in a muffled voice, "Open the door for me!" β
Shen Man closed the other door, stopped in front of the door and said, "If you don't make it clear, I won't leave!" β
Lime screamed "oops" and put the heavy futon back on the bed in a circle. pinching his waist and panting, "Why are you so verbose?" She looked at Shen Man's appearance and remembered the treatment she had received before, so she softened her tone a little and said, "Xiaoman, what about the matter. Didn't the gate supervisor tell you to take this Yin-Yang Dao exam, and then he didn't allow anyone from Taige to help you. β
Shen Man nodded.
Lime licked her lips and continued, "But you're still in Taige, if other candidates know about it, wouldn't it be a self-confession?" β
Shen Man nodded again.
"So, the gatekeeper ordered me to pack your luggage for you early this morning and take you to the other house outside to settle in. As long as you finish the big exam, you can go back to Taiko. Lime added, "That mansion is the private residence of the gate supervisor, and it will never be inhabited by people in normal times, but she specially arranged for you to go this time, indicating that she has regarded you as her own." β
Shen Man walked to the bed with a smile, picked up the futon that Lime had just rolled up, walked to the side of Lime and said, "Since the gate supervisor has arranged it like this, I will follow her arrangement." "Although it is Miss Tang's other house, it will not be as convenient to see her in the future as it is in Taige. But this is her order, all I can do is not to bother her, and I hope to be able to pass the yin and yang dao exam, so that I can be her apprentice in the name of it.
When Shen Man walked out, he found Lime quietly following her. Shen Man thought she was being ordered to send herself out, but until she got out of Taige and got into the carriage, Lime still followed, and sat next to Shen Man.
Shen Man said strangely, "Lime Gate Supervisor, why are you coming up?" β
Lime quietly smoothed the folds on her knees, and said calmly, "Accompany you to another house." β
"Come with me?" Shen Man looked outside the carriage, there were still people transporting some things that were not there, and more importantly, she saw someone carrying the precious "Blue Menghua" piano of lime onto the carriage. Lime and her piano are inseparable, but if you send yourself out, there is no need to bring such a valuable thing out? Unlessβ
Shen Man asked cautiously, "Lady Gatekeeper, do you want to stay in that mansion with me?" β
Lime's face slowly leaned over and said seriously, "I even brought the piano, what do you say?" β
Goosebumps stood up all over Shen Man's body, "Then can you promise me one thing." β
"Huh?" Lime's eyebrows furrowed.
"It's okay, don't play the piano." Shen Man has seen the skill of lime playing the piano, she was able to grow such a delicious and juicy radish by stroking the qin, and she could also rely on the piano to hypnotize people's hearts. Miss Tang arranged such a time bomb by her side, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
But Lime is still Miss Tang's confidant after all, and with her here, Shen Man will also feel much more stable.
Lime smiled slyly, holding her cheeks and crooked her eyes, "There is an old man who is the gate supervisor, I don't dare to 'play the piano' to you casually." β
"The gatekeeper is not old at all." Shen Man replied with a smile.
Seeing that she was pretending to be confused, Lime did not continue.
The carriage was soon filled with their luggage, and they drove out of Taige with ease, to a secluded but prosperous mansion in the capital.
This house reminded Shen Man of the place that Xiao Li Ye chose in his dream. The faΓ§ade is similarly low-key, but the interior is more refined and luxurious.
In and out of dreams, sometimes it is not clear to distinguish.
But Shen Man doesn't care, because what can be touched is the truth. And the reality at the moment is to prepare for the big exam and mix the name of an onmyoji, so that she can stand by Tang Jiuyue's side with dignity and become a person who can stand side by side with her.
Although this time may take a lifetime.
Shen Man was still tidying up the room, but seeing that Lime was already leaning against the door, she asked, "Can you get the recommendation letter from the Onmyoji?" β
Shen Manyi raised his eyebrows and said, "I haven't had time yet, I'll go to the palace gate to get it when I'm done later." Last night, Concubine Ning had already promised me to find a way for me. β
Lime yawned and said, "Today is only three days until the deadline for registration, you can go and get the letter later." I'm going back to catch up on sleep, so I'm not with you. β
Shen Manying said, "Don't worry, it's not a problem for me to sign up." β
Lime smiled, "Don't underestimate this matter, in previous years, there were many students who didn't even report their names." Before Shen Man could continue to ask, she disappeared at the door.
Shen Man vaguely had a bad premonition, listening to the meaning of lime, could it be that the registration for the Yin-Yang Dao exam is also boring?
