After taking a break at the wonton stall for a while, and looking at the streets in all directions, the passers-by coming and going, all kinds of people, all different, it is certain that it can make Su Yue forget her worries for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Girl, did you come out alone?" The proprietress of the wonton stall asked Su Yue with a gentle smile, because there were not many people at this time, she looked at Su Yue dressed in clothes that seemed simple but exquisite, and it was by no means an ordinary small family, and saw that she was delicate and pleasant, and her expression was indifferent, which made people want to be close, Su Yue didn't expect that the proprietress would be with her.
"Exactly." Su Yue also smiled in return.
"I'm talking a lot here, it's not safe for the girl to go out alone, although this is the imperial city, but after all, I have to pay more attention, I see that the girl's face is very raw, and she doesn't go out often, right?!"
Su Yue looked at the kind face of the proprietress, and her heart warmed, "Thank you for the reminder, I am grateful, I really don't come out often." ā
"The girl doesn't blame me for talking too much, I won't talk to the girl when the guest comes." The proprietress saw that a few more guests had come, and hurriedly made wontons, and Su Yue was inconvenient to occupy her position all the time, so she put down some broken silver and got up to leave.
After almost noon, the sun was in full bloom, Su Yue was also sweating thinly, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, Su Yue didn't dare to go far because she was not familiar with the terrain, so she prepared to return along the same road, but the more she went, the more wrong it became, and gradually Su Yue was a little flustered, she could be sure that she was lost, she seemed to be far away from the market, and came to a remote road.
Su Yue was about to see if there were passers-by who could ask, when she heard a carriage coming from behind, Su Yue and the others saw the person driving clearly, and Su Yue lowered her head to avoid it.
"Su Yue, is that you?" Yuan Hua said with a surprised face, stopped the carriage, Su Yue didn't have to think about who was sitting in the carriage, the more she didn't want to see it, the more she could meet, Su Yue could only nod, subconsciously retreated to the side, and when she looked up again, she saw that Zhou Jingzhen had already stepped out of the carriage and stood in front of Su Yue gracefully.
"Slave Su Yue to meet the master." Su Yue could only bite the bullet and ask for peace.
Zhou Jinghong's eyes were uncertain, "Oh, since you still recognize this king, this king still thinks that the prince is your master." ā
Su Yue didn't have a good tone, so she had to kneel down and ask for guilt, she was given to the prince by the princess, she couldn't choose, Zhou Jingzhen was so harsh on her, obviously thinking that she was unfaithful to her master, how could she explain, she could only endure it silently.
Zhou Jingzhen only felt that looking at Su Yue's appearance of pleading guilty did not make him feel a little comfortable, although he was just a slave, but the concubine arranged it single-handedly, he didn't know it, how could he not be angry, not to mention why did he need to please the prince like this, he didn't want the concubine's practice, and used the low-level method of beauty to cater to the prince, he naturally knew the prince's purpose, and the drunkard's intention was not to drink.
Su Yue saw that Zhou Jingxian's eyes were cold, and there was no hint of relaxation, so she only heard him say coldly, "Don't kneel, if you still think that this king is your master, go back to the palace with this king," Zhou Jinghong swept Su Yue's clothes, "However, I don't think you want to go back to the mansion to be a slave, the prince's concubine is more comfortable than a slave, and it is not easy to climb the high branches, how can you still want to be a slave?!" ā
The mean words sounded in Su Yue's ears, Zhou Jingxian didn't want to say this, but seeing Su Yue's dress made him very uncomfortable, although he had never paid attention to the appearance of this maid before, and today he found that he was dressed up to be very eye-catching, so close, there was a faint fragrance wafting in, and all this was given to Su Yue by the prince, and remembered that this maid had defended herself in front of the prince in the past, and was quite loyal, only to find that the words were a little too heavy, and Zhou Jingzhen also secretly regretted it.
Su Yue bit her lip secretly, there was an inexplicable pain in her heart, Su Yue felt that her tears seemed to be surging upward, Su Yue took a deep breath, tried to adjust her breathing, and said slowly, "Forgive the slave and maid for being difficult to obey, the slave and maid will not leave the prince's mansion." Su Yue said goodbye to her master. Su Yue Yili kowtowed three times, then got up to leave.
Seeing this, Zhou Jinghong grabbed Su Yue's wrist, "Are you provoking this king?" You are a servant of my palace, and it is up to me whether you live or die. ā
"Master, don't" Yuan Hua saw that the prince was already angry, and hurriedly stopped him, if the prince didn't let go of Su Yue, I am afraid that Su Yue's hand would be wasted.
Su Yue's face was pale in pain, and she didn't dare to resist the prince, so she could only endure it alive, Zhou Jinghong let go of Su Yue when she heard Yuanhua's call, and Su Yue fell to the ground hard.
Zhou Jinghong never looked at her again, and told Yuanhua, "Go, from now on, whether the cheap maid lives or dies has nothing to do with this king." Zhou Jinghong stepped into the carriage, Yuan Hua didn't dare to say much, hurriedly got into the carriage and drove away according to the master's instructions.
Su Yue didn't want to know how embarrassed she was now, she was covered in mud, her arms ached, and her heart was dull and uncomfortable, why didn't she want to go back to the palace, but she couldn't, she was the person who was given to the prince by the palace, how could she go back, the reason why the prince laughed at her must be to maintain harmony with the palace, for a slave, offending the prince, it was very worthless, so she broke with Zhou Jingxi, and it was even more distressing.
Su Yue wanted to get up, only to find that she seemed to have fallen to her muscles and bones, endured the pain and wanted to stand up, but found that she couldn't get her wish after trying several times, and when she was angry, a pair of hands behind her helped her up, Su Yue didn't know when there was someone behind her, she was frightened and grateful, and wanted to turn around and thank you, but she heard a familiar banter voice in her ears.
"It's hard to see a beautiful woman wrestling, do you want it to be so funny." Zhou Jingchen was already laughing, Su Yue was shocked that she didn't know when the prince had also come here, and how long she had watched it, Su Yue felt a little annoyed in her heart.
"Slave and maid thank Your Highness" Seeing that Zhou Jingchen didn't mean to let go of her at all, he said, "The slave and maid can go by themselves, and Your Highness can let go of the slave and maid." ā
Su Yue tried to walk by herself, but she almost fell down again, but fell into the warm embrace, Zhou Jingchen looked at her with a little gentle gaze, but Zhou Jingchen didn't realize it, and simply picked her up and walked to the carriage waiting not far away, Su Yue could feel Zhou Jingchen's heart beating strongly, and the fragrance of lotus flowers slowly wafted again.
"Do you think you've been robbed? is so embarrassed, go back to the house and wash up, I don't want to see the miserable beauty. Su Yuejing didn't reply, and quietly carried back to the car by the prince, but felt that her face was slightly hot.
