Chapter 5: The Princess and the Lord of Sun City
I wanted to continue to ask, but Zhou Sinian refused to say more, lay down and closed his eyes, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his thin lips were pursed, as if there was something unspeakable. I didn't dare to say anything more, so I lay down beside him carefully, smelling the faint fragrance of his body, and soon fell asleep, dreamless all night.
When he woke up the next day, he was gone, holding the pillow with his body fragrance, I don't know when he will come again, I have a lot of sense of loss in my heart, I can't help but feel that in this ancient world, the city lord or anything is not easy to use, and in modern times, a text message can be done in minutes, and now I can only guess!
Wanxi came in, followed up, and two little girls, one with a basin of water, and the other with a stack of clothes, looking fifteen or sixteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, it was gratifying.
They helped me comb my hair, change clothes, the hair was too long, I didn't want to coil my hair, still loosely tied with a hairband, in a stack of clothes in the little girl's hand, I picked a slightly simple plain white long brocade dress, the dark brown silk thread embroidered a strange and strong branch on the fabric, the peach silk thread embroidered a blooming plum blossom, extending from the skirt to the waist, with a dark brown belt tied around the waist at will, and picked a piece of green jade to hang on the waist, the jade bracelet of the same color was on the wrist, slightly powdered, around the screen, Looking at a book on the table, it was Zhou Sinian who read it last night, and held it in his hand, although the words on the book were ancient characters, I knew them all, and I was in a good mood and read it:
"There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. β
I've read it, but yes? Nanhua Jing?, I can't help but increase my good feelings, people who like Zhuangzi, there is always a bit of fairy wind bones.
At this time, Zhou Sinian walked in, his hair tied up in a bun, set in a delicate crown of mutton fat jade hair, and his clothes were ice blue fine silk, embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns of snow-white piping.
Seeing him walk in, my mood was as bright as the sun outside, and I ran straight over and threw myself into his arms.
He smiled happily and patted me on the back, listening to me chatter and say things like I didn't expect him to come back so soon, "uh-huh" promised, promising that he would tell me first where he would go in the future, and would not let me guess again.
Look I'm still holding that roll? Nanhua Jing?, took it and asked, "Do you like to read Taoist books?" I said, "I like Zhuangzi." "Why?" He asked.
I thought about it for a while and said, "Heaven naturally does nothing, and returns to the basics." The highest state of life is self-satisfaction, absolute spiritual freedom. β
He smiled "hehe", Wanxi put breakfast on the table, and took two girls to go out, I called out to her: "Wanxi! Wanxi stopped and bowed.
I said, "These two girls look very cute, stay here and be my companion." β
Wanxi wanted to speak and stopped, peeking at Zhou Sinian, Zhou Sinian lowered his head and drank the milk porridge in front of him, ignoring her. Wanxi smiled: "Madame doesn't know, this is a novice who has just been transferred from our old home, and when the teaching is done, I will send it over to accompany Madame." β
I said, "My girl, you can teach yourself." β
Wanxi wanted to say something, Zhou Sinian said impatiently: "Go down, these two children stay." β
Wanxi hurriedly answered "yes" and bowed out.
"Where is our hometown?" I asked.
Zhou Sinian's eyes showed a look of yearning: "Where the sun rises in the east, the name is Sun City." β
I see, he's the Lord of Sun City.
Seeing that he looked homesick, I asked, "Have you been away from your hometown for a long time?" β
"Five or six years."
"Didn't you go back and see?"
"No, I don't have time to go back."
"So where are we now?" I asked.
He looked at me a little helplessly, and he was helpless about my "amnesia": "In the capital, my Royal Highness the princess." β
I couldn't help but open my eyes wide, it turned out that I was a princess in this life. No wonder I have such a big score, and Zhou Sinian will pour me wine during dinner.
Zhou Sinian looked at me with a blank look, shook his head and said, "It seems that you really can't remember it for a while." β
I'm also helpless, it's not that I "can't remember", but I don't know anything at all. I can only do things with my inner intuition, and this "intuition" is mostly given to me by the real Shenglan. After all, half of the people who manipulated this body were Shenglan's soul.
And Shenglan's soul is a hundred times stronger than my soul. I already feel that Shenglan is invading my three souls and six souls little by little, and before I know it, I am about to become Shenglan completely.
Zhou Sinian patted my hand and comforted: "Don't worry, eat something first, if you can't remember, I'll tell you slowly." β
As he spoke, he handed me a bowl of porridge, osmanthus porridge, instead of the milk stem rice porridge he ate. I said, "I want to eat the one you ate." β
He was stunned for a moment and said, "You have a stomachache when you eat milk, don't you remember?" β
As he spoke, he picked up the spoon, tasted my porridge, and said, "If you don't eat it again, it will be cold." β
I saw that he tasted it, and then I was relieved to eat it, why did I always suspect that he would poison me? If he wanted me dead, why did he get me out of the dungeon in the first place?
And, every time I doubted, he always tried the food for me in time?
Why, the three meals I came here for, including the wine, were all floral? It's exactly the same as the scent on his body. However, this shows that it is not poison, who would use poison to make perfume?
"Why do you always eat this floral-scented thing?"
"In my hometown, flowers bloom all year round, and people are used to using flowers as ingredients," he said. He shook his head again, "When you first went to CitΓ© Soleil, you were attracted by the food and didn't want to leave. β
He entered the memory, the look on his face, gentle, affectionate.
"You were only sixteen years old back then, and you were so bold that you broke into my Sun City alone." Zhou Sinian narrowed his eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corners of his lips rose, as if the little girl was standing in front of him.
"You say, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. But my Sun City is a land outside the world, and it's really not the king's land, hehe. β
At this time, there was a man's voice outside: "City Lord, Wu Cheng is waiting to see you." β
Zhou Sinian opened his eyes and patted my cheek: "Eat well, I'll go to meet the guests, I'll come back for lunch at the latest, you have nothing to do and go out for a walk, in our house, the garden is no worse than the palace." β
