If it weren't for the fact that Butterfly Dye began to urge outside the door, Zhili would not even want to leave the pool of bath water floating with various colored petals. The warmth is very comfortable, and a faint fragrance seems to linger not only on the tip of her nose, but even into her delicate skin.

When she got out of the bath, the girl's delicate white skin was covered with a faint light pink flush, and she dragged the towel aside to wipe off the remaining water droplets on her body, and then took a few steps forward, where a row of mahogany hangers hung all kinds of inner and outer clothes away from the bath.

Through the screen-like door, Dieran could vaguely see the figure in front of the hanger, and immediately said: "Miss Zhili, these clothes are prepared for you, please match them as you like." ”

"Is it okay to do all of this?"

Suddenly, Zhili's eyes lit up, and she soon showed a look of embarrassment.

"It looks good, which one should I choose?"

By the time Zhili left the room, another quarter of an hour had passed, not only did it take some time to choose clothes, but then a few maids helped to dress up.

During this period, looking at all kinds of rouge gouache, Zhili couldn't recognize any of them, so she could only lightly apply them a few times. Moreover, all kinds of jeweled ornaments were placed in front of her, and they could not arouse the slightest interest, which made the group of maids cry and laugh.

When you arrive at the main hall, you will be greeted by a sense of magnificence, but not luxury. There were no maids in the hall to obey, except for an elegant woman on the main seat that Zhili had never seen, she had basically seen several women on the two rows of seats, and suddenly there was a trace of doubt in her eyes.

"Queen Mother, Miss Zhili has been brought, and Dieran retired first. ”

Immediately, Dieran retreated with the rest of the maids and closed the door, leaving Zhili alone at the door, at a loss.

"Decidely, sister, you called her too. ”

On the right side of the main seat, Twilight Yinyin looked at Zhili with her face in her hands, and the look in her eyes couldn't tell whether she was happy or complaining.

On the main seat, the elegant woman bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Of course you have to call her, so that all the people will be there." Come here, you can sit next to Xiao Yin. ”

Suddenly, Twilight Yinyin was stunned, turned her head and asked, "Why is there more than one vacant seat on my side?"

"Xiao Yin, obedient. ”

"I came back and saw what I thought."

When Ning Yue returned to Sima Haiwei's side, the person from before was gone.

He spread his hands and replied, "If I hadn't paid attention to the buildings around me, I'd probably have mistaken this for a bustling bazaar rather than a prison." I have to say that you have done an unusual point, which is admirable. ”

Sima Haiwei sighed: "Most of the laws of the empire are still inherited from the founding of the country, and I have always wanted to change them, but I can't change them too much at once, I can only change them gradually. What I hope more is that there will be no scenes like this, and the prison will always be empty, and that is the real peaceful and prosperous world. It's just that, not only the Snow Dragon Empire, but also in the entire frontier of all nations, maybe many emperors have had such ideas, but in the end they can't be realized. I don't have the luxury of hoping that I can achieve that lofty goal, I just hope that when the people of the Snow Dragon Empire remember me as emperor in the future, they will not scold me badly. ”

Ning Yue said with a smile: "The rumored evaluation of you has always been polarized, some people think that you are the virtuous king Mingjun who guides the situation, and some people think that you are a tyrant who usurps the throne and seizes power. I think hundreds of years later, the evaluation is still the same. How can those who have not witnessed the past know the true history? At least, I have my own answer, and that's enough. ”

"Do you know that the moment I decided to step to the throne, my thoughts were whether to rebel against usurpation or crusade against the unjust, and the final judgment of history depends on what I do afterwards. Of course, there will be people who distort that history, but I believe that it is only a minority. To tell the truth, I only appeared after ascending the throne, and it is more difficult to govern the world than to conquer the country. However, I will try my best to get it right. ”

Sima Haiwei didn't deliberately lower his voice, as if he didn't care that the busy prisoners not far away might hear his words.

Nodding, Ning Yue replied: "But after all, your ascension to the throne is not right, and your words are not good, so you can only endure the mistakes of the law and the dominance of those powerful families for the time being, and deal with it slowly." So, the secret army that crossed the judgment of the law was born, right?"

"If you want to talk about it, why don't we change places and sit down and talk about it. It's still early, and they'll be there in another two hours. That's enough time to tell several stories. At the beginning, I seemed to have promised you that I would tell you everything when it was over. ”

"Yes, I asked, and you said that. Let's go, I'm very interested in what your legend has to say. ”

The tea, water, utensils, and cooking techniques are all top-notch. In this way, the tea poured out at the end of the tea is of course also a superior product.

However, for Zhili, who didn't know this at all, she was a little disgusted that the tea cup was too small, and she couldn't enjoy drinking it cup by cup, and she didn't quench her thirst at all, but all kinds of refreshments on the table were almost swept away by her.

"Zhili eat slowly, no one will rob you. ”

At this moment, Twilight Yinyin's sister Queen Xin was no longer on the main seat, but gathered to the lower seat, sitting between Twilight Yinyin and Zhili, and seemed to take care of the two girls as if they were her own sisters.

In the rest of the seats, Su Qian was restrained, Jian Ying was careless, and Ah Qi seemed to be angry and dissatisfied in his heart. And Nalan Fu smoke is slowly tasting tea and drinking, and the posture is elegant, not inferior to Queen Xin.

"This queen sister, can you change the tea to a bigger cup It's delicious, it's a small cup at a time, it's too little. ”

Watching Queen Xin pour tea for herself herself, Zhili hurriedly swallowed the snack in her mouth.

It seemed that she couldn't stand it, and Twilight Yinyin reminded: "Hey, hey, Zhili, can you understand a little etiquette?"

Who knows, Queen Xin knocked on her forehead and said angrily, "You have never understood etiquette, and you still want to teach others that Zhili is a guest, and you are half a master here, so take out some energy." ”

After that, she took a small bowl with a spout for tea and put it in front of Zhili.

"There's no bigger one, Zhili will just order it. ”

Nodding and smiling, Zhili replied, "Well, thank you Sister Queen." Hehe, in addition to Brother Ning Yue and Sister Su Qian, you are the third person who is so good to Zhili. ”

"I see who gave you food, and you think who's good to you, and you don't know when someone kidnaps you. On the side, Twilight Yinyin muttered quietly, taking a sip of her teacup.

patted Zhili's head, Queen Xin leaned into her ear and smiled: "So, there is a question I want to ask Zhili, can you answer me?"

Zhili nodded instantly, and responded: "Ask, as long as Zhili knows, she will definitely answer." ”

Suddenly, Twilight Yinyin stopped, she was a little curious, her sister wanted to ask something.

Seemingly aware of Twilight Yinyin's movements, Empress Xin then asked, "It seems that you like your brother Ning Yue very much, don't you?"

Without thinking about it at all, Zhili replied excitedly: "Of course, I like it the most." He relied on Zhili for everything, and it was wrong at the earliest, and when he met him for the second time, he knew that Zhili was an enemy when he first met, and he was willing to share food with me, and listened to me tell the story of the past. Seriously, Brother Ning Yue was still the first person to tell Zhili all about the past. The feeling he gave Zhili was a very warm and gentle person. ”

Smiling and nodding, Empress Xin continued to ask, "So, would Zhili be willing to marry your brother Ning Yue and be your wife?"

"Poof"

Behind her, Twilight Yin spewed out the half cup of tea she had just drunk in her mouth, looking shocked. She never imagined that her sister would ask such a question.

Because her movement was too big, for a while, several women in the rest of the seats invariably focused their eyes.

Zhili was also stunned, tilted her head and wondered: "Marry Brother Ning Yue, when you are a wife, Zhili doesn't understand, what does this mean"

In fact, Ning Yue didn't think that the place where Sima Haiwei took him was actually a corner of the prison, entering through an inner door, passing through a corridor, and arriving at a large room that seemed to be a prison canteen. However, it doesn't seem to be a cafeteria, because there are doors and windows leading to the outside world.

Outside the door, outside of a real death row, you can see the streets of Silverwing.

"I'm curious, this is a hotel, a hotel open to the public. Most of the attendants and cooks were prisoners here, but some of the jailers were guarded. At first, the residents of Silverwing were a little scared to come here to eat. It took a few months for the desert to get better. ”

Sima Haiwei smiled faintly, and when he sat down, the attendant handed over the tea. The attendant was not a slender guy who looked nimble like an ordinary hotel inn, but a strong man who made people faintly feel a little fierce, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. The scar can still be seen on the arm exposed under the rolled up sleeve.

However, there was a gentle smile on his face that did not match his shape.

Nodding at the attendant, Sima Haiwei picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "No matter what crime you commit, as long as you enter here and then go out, most people will feel inferior, and others will no longer accept them." And here, letting them come into contact with the common people like normal people can alleviate this very well. And, at the same time, he is also telling the rest of the people of Silverwing City that even if a person makes a mistake, when he is lost, he is no different from ordinary people. Even, know how to cherish the hard-won peace. ”

"All I can say is that if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, no one would have told me that it was true. Sima Haiwei, you are really a genius who makes people confused. Something that doesn't make sense, after you do it, makes it feel so natural. Now, I'm more curious about your experience, so let's see. ”

"It's quite a long time until dinner, and I'm going to charter it tonight, and all the heroes will be partying here all night. If you're done telling my story, there's still time left, and you'll have to tell yours in exchange. ”

"No problem. ”

When the tea party was over, Zhili left with the rest of the women, but Twilight Yinyin was left behind by Queen Xin.

Empress Xin crossed her arms around her chest and said with a playful smile: "Xiao Yin, tell me the truth, have you really not touched a little bit of Ning Yue?"

"Of course not, how could it be. Twilight snorted, but her eyes didn't seem to dare to meet her sister.

"Then you tell me, why are you so prejudiced against Zhili and when I asked her if she would like to marry Ning Yue, you reacted so strongly"
