Chapter 17 Flat Everywhere, Thorny Everywhere

The night is silent, but the autumn rain as thin as silk seems to have infinite power, and the dead branches and leaves on the top of the tree have been ruthlessly brushed off. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info seems to quietly add a thick velvet to the princess's mansion surrounded by coldness, so that morning light is the busiest, and the sound of the broom rubbing against the ground accompanies the out-of-tune tunes of the family, adding a touch of warmth and vitality.

Li Yingxia has never been a person who will stay in bed, and the first light of dawn has already opened her eyes. For the past few days, the last thing she was used to was wearing fat and wide clothes, and besides, she also added a layer of autumn jacket to protect against the cold, which was neither comfortable nor beautiful. She really didn't understand why no one had taken the heart to improve the design of the clothes during the Tang Dynasty, when the legend was so developed?

Combing her hair is also what Li Yingxia is most "afraid of", the hairstyles of ancient beauties that she usually only sees in movies and television are pleasing to the eye, but if she really combs the coils, it will make her dizzy. Because she was not good at it and was not used to it, she had to wait for Layue's help, although she did not want to be served.

Layue, who is usually very diligent, did not appear that day. Li Yingxia walked to the window with her long hair scattered, and after watching for a long time, she still didn't see Layue's figure, she sat back anxiously in front of the dresser again and looked at herself in the bronze mirror.

There was a sound of light footsteps from far and near, and the princess's personal maid, Qiu Rou, came in.

"Miss Yingxia, I'll dress you up today." Qiu Rou approached Li Yingxia with a smile.

"Qiu Rou? How are you? What about the wax moon? Li Yingxia asked suspiciously.

"After the rain, the temperature plummeted, and the wax moon was dyed with wind cold. Therefore, the princess ordered me to come and take her place temporarily. Qiu Rou explained.

Li Yingxia nodded, and at the same time looked at Qiu Rou and said with concern: "An autumn rain and a cold, you must add clothes in time." ”

Qiu Rou picked up a peachwood comb, and while helping Li Yingxia comb her hair, she lamented: "You can't dress too bloated as a slave, otherwise you will be scolded by your great-mother." ”

"Who is Mama Zeng?" Li Yingxia asked.

Qiu Rou paused the movement of her right hand and whispered: "The princess's most trusted person, just because she is the princess's nurse, she can be domineering in front of the people in the house." She often used whips to physically punish those who were slack, and if they were thickly dressed, they would be considered to have escaped corporal punishment. ”

Qiu Rou's words made Li Yingxia suddenly have a new view of the "kind and gentle" princess, did she know nothing about the actions of her cronies? At the same time, Li Yingxia also realized that Qiu Rou, as the princess's personal maid, may not be intimate. After thinking about it, she secretly congratulated herself that she was a guest of honor, not a slave with others. In any case, she was grateful to the princess, after all, it was the princess who saved her, otherwise she would have starved to death in that wilderness.

Speechless for a long time, Li Yingxia only stared at the process of combing her hair in the mirror.

"Okay, can you see if there's any discomfort?" Qiu Rou asked.

Li Yingxia nodded with satisfaction, indicating that there was no discomfort.

"Alright, you wait here, I'll bring you breakfast right away." Qiu Rou said as she put down the comb and turned to leave.

"Qiu Rou, in the future, you can call me the same as Layue. I am your sister, and there is no master or servant in this room. Li Yingxia said very kindly, and Qiu Rou immediately stopped and turned around.

"You're so nice." These three words were said with emotion and tears in her eyes, and Qiu Rou was also the first time she had met such a master.

Qiu Rou went out and quickly brought the food.

Li Yingxia looked at Qiu Rou who was standing aside, and always felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She is not used to being a master like this, and she is not used to letting a person who serves herself carefully wait to eat leftovers. So she stood up and pulled Qiu Rou over.

"Eat with my sister, otherwise I won't recognize you as a sister." Li Yingxia said seriously.

"Miss Yingxia, no. Zeng's mother...... Will punish me heavily. Qiu Rou shook her head in a panic.

Li Yingxia once again felt the obscenity of that great-mother in front of the people in the mansion, as if her eyes were everywhere. Li Yingxia got up and closed the door, and suddenly felt an urge to see that great-mother.

Turning around, Li Yingxia forcibly pulled Qiu Rou to the chair next to her, so Qiu Rou had no choice but to accompany her to eat with gratitude. After the meal, Qiu Rou was very diligent in cleaning up the cups, plates, dishes and chopsticks, and quickly sent them back to the kitchen. When Qiu Rou returned to Li Yingxia's room again, Li Yingxia had already held a book in her hand, because there was no other way to spend time.

"Miss Yingxia, no, sister, princess, please come over." Qiu Rou had just passed by the princess's room and heard what her great-mother had said, so she came back to convey it.

Li Yingxia was not surprised by this information, because she already had a premonition that the princess would definitely see her. Although she heard some things about the princess from Layue, Li Yingxia still did not suspect that the princess would act ill towards her, perhaps because she was her savior. Li Yingxia put down the book in her hand and got up to prepare to go with Qiu Rou to see the princess. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Qiu Rou instinctively went over to open the door, and it was Hengzi, the retinue of the colt, who came in. Hengzi took a book in his hand and handed it to Li Yingxia.

"Miss Yingxia, this is a new book from the colt, which contains some of his miscellaneous feelings after reading. The horse told me that you must read and give advice immediately. Hengzi kept squeezing his eyes at Li Yingxia as he spoke, and Li Yingxia realized that there must be something else hidden in it. So, she glanced at Qiu Rou and said, "You wait for me at the door." ”

Qiu Rou didn't think much about it, and went directly to the door to wait.

Although Li Yingxia could see that Qiu Rou was a kind and simple girl, after all, she was the person next to the princess, so it was best to avoid the matter of the horse. Li Yingxia quickly opened the book, and there was indeed a note in it. The above few lines of handsome block letters, impressively written words that make people seem to understand but not understand.

"Everywhere flat, everywhere thorns, everywhere laughter, everywhere tears." Li Yingxia's face was confused, and it was difficult to understand his meaning for a while.

Hengzi looked at Li Yingxia and whispered: "The horse said, this book must be savored." Every sentence seems to have a mystery, and each person has different sides. Remember, be sure to distinguish between the real and the fake. ”

Li Yingxia was still a little confused, and didn't understand whether Hengzi's paraphrase was an evaluation of the characters in the book, or was he alluding to something? Still looking at Hengzi suspiciously.

Hengzi was a little anxious, and reminded again: "Recently, the autumn rain has been continuous, and the ground may be slippery, Miss Yingxia, you must be careful when you go out!" ”

Hengzi's voice was deliberately raised, but her eyes were squeezed hard. Li Yingxia finally realized something, but he didn't seem to believe that there would be an "accident".

After the word was passed, Hengzi went back to return to the concubine, and Li Yingxia also walked out of the room to meet the princess with Qiu Rou.
