Chapter 520: Enchanting Peony
Mrs. Zuo's heart beat like a drum.
This short silence made her suddenly feel a little difficult to breathe, and she was about to withdraw her hand in a trance, but Rong Xi suddenly reached out and took it, and said lightly: "There is Mrs. Laozuo." β
"The princess is polite, no matter what she says, the courtiers are just ...... Raise your hands, be happy......" Mrs. Zuo still kept smiling and kept talking, but found that Rong Xi had already turned his gaze and turned away.
She took a breath, her sharp nails pinching her palm, calming and sobering herself, "Princessβcan you open it and take a look?" Let the courtiers open their eyes, and they don't know what precious things the prince gave to the princess? β
Rong Xi looked at her sideways, her eyes were as clear as a spring in the mountains, but it was also as cold as a spring, as if she could see through people's hearts, Mrs. Zuo lowered her eyes, her eyes were only staring at the agarwood box, she was not greedy for that thing, but ...... She really didn't dare to look at Rong Xi.
At this time, she was nervous in her heart, just waiting for Rong Xi's answer.
Rong Xi didn't say anything, picked up the tips of his fingers, and opened the box with a "click", a faint aroma brushed through his fingertips, swinging on the tip of his nose, sure enough, it was a box made of good agarwood, but the things lying quietly in the box made people ignore the box instantly.
Inside is a delicate peony flower, but much smaller than ordinary flowers, the flower handle is not long, just can be held in the hand, the part of the flower is hard as jade to the touch, the tentacles are slightly cool, it should be carved with good gemstones, the sun shines on the flowers, the bright light presents colorful colors, people can't take their eyes off.
Mrs. Zuo took a breath, "It's really ingenious." β
Rong Xi smiled lightly in her admiration, and was about to put the box on it, when Mrs. Zuo said again: "Princess, can you pick it up and see, what kind of gem is this made of?" Please also be sure to ask the prince, where is it ordered? Courtiers ......"
"Mrs. Zuo likes it?" Rong Xi handed the box forward, "Then I'll give it to you." β
Mrs. Zuo was immediately stunned, "No...... No, how does this make it? This is too precious, the courtiers are very happy to see it, this is a gift from the prince to the princess, how dare you win people's love? β
She took a step back and waved her hand again and again, Rong Xi no longer insisted, and was about to close the box, when Mrs. Zuo said again: "The princess is well-informed, what is this thing made of?" Looking at this carving, if it weren't for the difference in size, it really made people think that this is a real flower. β
In her repeated exclamations and exclamations, Rong Xi finally picked up the peony and played with it lightly in her hand, Mrs. Zuo's eyes wandered, the brocade in her hand floated around, and bursts of fat powder fragrance came to her face.
"Ah...... It's so beautiful, this thing must be a tribute from any country, the prince has the emperor's weight, and the reward is ......" Mrs. Zuo said while blocking her mouth with a brocade handkerchief, and praised again and again.
Rong Xi's fingertips gently turned the stalk of the flower, and the colorful light refracted onto her face, making her eyes like crystal gems.
It's just that...... Her eyelids felt heavier and heavier, and the flowers in her hands seemed to be getting brighter and brighter, and the light refracted her, making her close her eyes.
As soon as it was dark, his body softened.
Mrs. Zuo's admiration was also far away, and it seemed to be ethereal, and there was a low cry in her mouth, "Princess! What's wrong with you? β
It's just that all the sounds are far away, nothing can be heard, and it is silent, only the colorful light in front of me, and the faint fluttering petals, it seems that those exquisite petals are floating up in pieces, shaking in front of her eyes, and the colored lines of light are close to the bottom of her eyes, making her eyes more and more unable to open.
Mrs. Zuo looked at Rong Xi who had fainted, and finally took a long breath, a gust of autumn wind blew, and she realized that she didn't know when, she had already sweated through her clothes, sticky and cold.
She couldn't help but shudder, but she didn't dare to delay too long, and hurriedly took out another whistle-like thing from her bosom, put it to her lips and blew it, but there were many other sounds besides the sound of the wind and the sound of flowers and leaves moving.
When Mrs. Zuo was anxious, a pair of boots suddenly appeared in front of her, black thin-soled fast boots, she was startled, looked up, the man's eyes were cold, waved his hand and said, "Go and report the news." β
Mrs. Zuo's eyes glanced at the red mole on the back of the man's hand, grabbed the peony flower that Rong Xi was still holding in his hand, put it back into the agarwood box in a panic, and staggered away quickly.
The man looked around, his eyes were as cold as ice, he leaned over and looked carefully at Rong Xi who fainted among the flowers, her lilac dress was like the most beautiful flower, and her dizzy face was more delicate than flowers.
The man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but his fingers were always clasped together, but the suppressed lust in his eyes was like a blooming demon flower, swinging and rising in his eyes.
But in the end, he didn't dare, he couldn't afford to make a mistake.
He leaned over again, stretched out his arm and was about to pick up Rong Xi on the ground, suddenly, the cold and sharp light in front of him flashed, like an extremely fast blade shining with the blade, he was about to dodge, and suddenly heard a cold wind behind him.
There are killing intentions in front and back, but he doesn't know which one to take care of first, but after a moment of hesitation, he feels that after the extreme brightness in front of him, it is dark, and something behind him hits the big hole on the back of his neck, he is in pain and numb, and he loses consciousness.
His body softened and threw himself on Rong Xi, who fainted on the ground, but Rong Xi suddenly opened his eyes, the light was as fierce as fire, but the depth of the fire was extremely cold and sharp, she raised her hand and pressed the dagger in her hand against the man's chest.
At the same time, the man's neck collar was also grabbed by a hand, which was as hard as iron and claw-shaped, fierce, and clawed.
Rong Xi got up from the ground and gently patted the dust on her body, and Xiao'er also came quickly, tidied up her dress, and pursed her lips tightly as straight as a knife.
The anger on Leng Fifteen's face, who grabbed the man's collar, was even stronger, but there was deep contempt in his eyes, "This guy is too loose, but it's just a stone, and he was actually stunned." β
Rong Xi shook the dagger in his hand, although he slashed this guy's neck with the back of the knife just now, but the strength was not small, and the position was extremely accurate, plus Leng Fifteen attacked from behind, it was normal for this guy to faint.
Rong Xi looked at the Jinpa dropped by Mrs. Zuo on the ground, picked it up with the tip of the knife, and said to Leng Fifteen, "Open his mouth." β
Leng Fifteen pinched the man's jaw with two fingers, and lifted it up, and Rong Xi blocked his mouth with the piece of brocade.
Seeing that she had finished this qiΔ, Xiao'er said: "Miss, all the qiΔ is in order, the little palace maid has been knocked unconscious by the slave maid." β
"Okay," Rong Xi nodded, her gaze slid over the man's face, he was too ugly, his skin was too poor, and his figure was not good enough, why was his "adulterer" level being lowered more and more?
Won't these people come up with some new tricks except to find an adulterer for themselves? I'm tired of all this, not to mention...... Every time it doesn't work, you have to take a woman's innocence, alas...... A kind person like himself really can't do it.
Leng Fifteen looked at Rong Xi's gloomy eyes when he was thinking about "can't do it", he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and secretly glanced at the sleeping man, feeling sorry for his wrong choice to go against the princess this time.
After he finished "regretting", he said to Rong Xi: "Princess, my subordinates will send this guy over now, and it is estimated that the sixteenth side will also be finished." β
"Go ahead."
Seeing Leng Fifteen's figure disappear quickly, Rong Xi lowered his eyes, sniffed the vague smell of agarwood between his fingers, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
How could Mrs. Zuo's tricks be hidden from her? Mrs. Zuo didn't know that when the little palace maid talked about the orchid herb, her eyes inadvertently looked in one direction, and Rong Xi was ready to catch that look.
She clearly saw that right there, among the flowers, there was a corner of the exposed skirt, which was the color of Mrs. Zuo's dress, hiding there...... What does it do?
The little palace maid said that there were independent potted plants in the palace, which was nothing more than thinking about leaving here with Xiao'er, so that Rong Xi was left alone in the end.
Presumably it's not just orchid vanilla, no matter what flowers and plants Rong Xi asked about at that time, the little palace maid would say that there were in the palace, or even if Rong Xi didn't ask her, she had to find a way to attract Rong Xi's attention, as for whether there was anything in the palace, who would care, anyway, when the time came, Xiao'er would be knocked out as soon as she entered the palace.
It's just that the current filial piety is no longer the original filial piety, she followed Rong Xi through turmoil, and went out to see those outside worlds, after countless conspiracies and calculations, just a little palace maid can be counted?
What Rong Xi has to wait for has always been Mrs. Zuo's last appearance and the last killing move in her hands.
When he saw the agarwood box, Rong Xi knew that the thing in it must be the killer weapon in Mrs. Zuo's hand.
Sure enough, Mrs. Zuo begged her to open the box, and the peonies in the box made Rong Xi even more convinced that Mrs. Zuo was lying, and this was definitely not what Leng Yixiu asked her to bring to her.
Not to mention that Leng Yixiu wouldn't let Mrs. Zuo bring him anything, just because that flower was a peony, it would be impossible.
At Mrs. Fang's place, the smell of peony all over her body made Leng Yixiu particularly disgusted, and both of them decided to eradicate all the peony flowers in the house, leaving not a single plant.
Of course, no one else will know about this matter except for the two parties involved.
Not to mention Rong Xi, even Leng Yixiu himself is extremely disgusted with peony flowers, how could he give them to Rong Xi?
And this peony flower is not like what Mrs. Zuo said, it is a strange and precious gem carved by skilled craftsmen, on the contrary, this is a real peony flower.
