According to the custom of Zhao State, Duanyang stayed in the post house for three days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Early in the morning of the fourth day, Shi Lan followed Princess Duanyang to officially enter King Zhao's palace.
The palace of King Zhao is different from the luxury of Jiang Kingdom, the palace surrounded by towering palace walls is atmospheric and simple, and the black and red wood is set against the black and gray stone tiles, which exude a natural luster in the sun.
Shi Lan followed the servants in the palace to the courtyard farthest away from the Yiling Palace where Duanyang lived, and walked into the house with only a few collapses and a bed of curtains, Shi Lan couldn't help but sigh at the irreversible change.
The development of things is still the same as before, although Duanyang's attitude towards her has been different along the way, but when she finally moved in, she still lived in the attic where the original owner once lived.
Does this mean that even if some things change, the end result will still be the same as the previous one?
Shi Lan was not afraid, the previous months of study had given her a full understanding of what the true technique of winning was.
At the beginning, the villain found in the original main room was just a little trick of Yuan Yun's envoy, but it was ridiculous that King Zhao, a martial artist, was stubborn and self-serving, thinking that he had obtained all the stolen goods.
That night, before the sky was dark, the red lights of Yiling Palace were already hung high.
Early the next morning, the news that Duanyang was named one of the four nobles only under the queen spread throughout the Zhao Palace, and Shi Lan, who was a maid, naturally came to Yiling Palace to congratulate according to etiquette.
As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he heard Qi Rui's voice from inside, "The king is so good to the nobles, this red coral is so big, it is really a strange thing." ā
Duanyang heard Qi Rui's words with hot eyes and jealousy, and when he spoke, he brought out a sense of pride, "Whether it's a strange thing or not, I don't know, but the king said that this object can only live up to its scorching beauty if it is placed here." ā
Duanyang's words made the room quiet, and in a moment a series of words of praise sounded in it, Shi Lan smiled slightly, and walked in, entering a coral tree that was more than a foot high.
Shi Lan glanced at the coral tree and set her eyes on Duanyang, who already had a charming and enchanting color.
The fiery red and dazzling, the flourishing coral reflects the Duanyang with a high bun and a gorgeous headdress, which is indeed delicate.
Shi Lan squinted, lowered his eyes slightly when Duanyang raised his eyes, stepped forward, and bowed with just the right amount of joy on his face, "Congratulations to your nobleman." ā
Duanyang sat on the couch with a noble posture, the corners of his mouth were pursed with a smile, and a pair of phoenix eyes that were slanted into his sideburns looked coldly at Shi Lan, who was very obedient.
Shi Lan bent over respectfully, like a manipulated marionette, just stubbornly maintaining the action just now, motionless, only the brocade belt with white jade around his waist swayed gently.
After a few breaths, Duanyang seemed to feel that this dismount was enough, so he raised his hand and said softly: "Hurry up." Come on, prepare a bed. ā
"Thank you, noble," Shi Lan straightened her sore slender waist and sat at the end with a gentle smile.
There was a light smile and whispering in the hall again, Shi Lan lowered his head slightly, and sat quietly in the corner, as if he didn't notice Duanyang's deliberate coldness.
In the evening, the temple people came with the news that King Zhao was going to visit Yiling Palace.
Shi Lan moved, stiffened as if it wasn't his knees, and slowly got up, "The concubine is unwell, can you retire." ā
Almost as soon as Shi Lan's words fell, the hall was silent, and everyone's eyes fell on her.
Shi Lan's face was as usual, and her neck bent down because of the salute was beautiful, like a swan with a bent neck and self-pity.
Duanyang's eyebrows moved, and the phoenix eyes quickly swept the surprised, surprised, and sneering eyes of the people around her, and suddenly the words that Shi Lan had told her in Jiang Guo sounded in her head, and for a moment, she felt a little remorse in her heart, and felt that she should not listen to the words of others, so embarrassed Shi Lan, and lost this loyal helper in vain.
"Since you're not feeling well, let's go back and rest. If you don't have anything to say, you won't be missing," Duanyang smiled at the corner of his mouth, changing his lukewarm attitude just now.
"Yes, thank you," Shi Lan curtsied and walked out with her long sleeves flowing.
In the blink of an eye, spring is going to autumn, and Shi Lan has never been to Yiling Palace again during this time, Duanyang is in the limelight, and it is surrounded by flowers. When the fire is cooking.
Shi Lan only occasionally walked through the garden, and the rest of the time he stayed honestly in his small courtyard and didn't go anywhere.
As for what favor Duanyang received, she was not interested, in the memory of the original owner, she already knew what would happen next.
During the summer solstice, Duanyang has mastered the right to act as an agent for the affairs of the palace, and in the autumn, Wei Guo saw that King Zhao was beautiful and treated Jiang Guo differently, and specially sent a number of Mei Ji, Duanyang and Mei Ji were equally divided, three days after the light snow, Yuan Yun hooked up with King Zhao as the palace maid of Wei State, and Duanyang completely fell out of favor since then.
The petals are about to fall, the autumn frost is rising, and it has been some time since Mei Ji of Wei entered the palace at this time.
Shi Lan sat in the courtyard and looked at the yellow and green leaves that slowly fell at his feet, and secretly thought to himself, it was time for Duanyang to find himself.
The shouts of the palace maids outside the door came through the cool breeze of Xi Xi, "Shi Lan, Jiang Guiren has passed you to see you." ā
Shi Lan raised her head and looked at the palace maid who was looking at her with her head raised and her eyes slanted, smiled slightly, got up and followed the palace maid who was frowning and very disgusted, and came to Yiling Palace.
Passing through the palace maids on both sides, Duan Yang, who was tall and dressed in bright red, sat in front.
Shi Lan stepped forward to salute, Duanyang lowered his eyes and looked at the respectful and gentle Shi Lan, with a sincere remorse on his face.
It's just that I don't know if I regret not believing in this Shi Lan who is dedicated to myself, or regretting that I believe in Qi Rui who secretly climbed onto the dragon couch.
"Get up, Bengong has been suffering from a serious head illness recently, Ah Lan helps Bengong press it," Duanyang's voice was tired, but still unconsciously arrogant.
Shi Lan responded softly, got up behind Duanyang, and pressed lightly for her.
Half an hour later, Duanyang relaxed his tense shoulders and back, and his phoenix eyes, which were always arrogant, closed slightly, obviously very massaged by Shi Lan.
The incense burner in the hall is curling, and the fragrance is slowly fragrant with contemplation. Duanyang sighed, and the worries caused by King Zhao's arrival in Yingxia Palace finally dissipated a little.
Outside the hall, a noisy sound suddenly came, Duanyang frowned, raised his eyes impatiently, and shouted: "Who is making noise outside?" ā
It was quiet outside, and a palace maid walked in and said, "Your nobleman, it's Qi Cainu who came to ask for peace." ā
Duanyang snorted coldly and did not speak.
Shi Lan lowered her eyes and looked at the hem of her clothes quietly, and her hands kept moving.
After another quarter of an hour, Duanyang motioned for Shi Lan to stop, sat upright, and said, "Let her in." ā
After a burst of ringing and percussion, Qi Rui came to the hall.
Looking at Qi Rui, who was combing her gorgeous hair and bowing down slowly, Shi Lan shook her head secretly.
The first class of regulations in the palace is the queen, followed by nobles, beauties, treasure girls, and the last class is the girl, Qi Rui is the noble daughter of Jiang Guo, and she was only named a girl after being lucky, and she is not favored.
