Chapter 3: Take a Risk
And he looked at me the same way, and did not speak for a long time. After a moment of silence, he asked, "What's your name?" â
"Xu Xiangjun!"
I never knew that this name could accompany me for the rest of my life, nor did I know that from this moment on, I and His Royal Highness the King of Jin would have been entangled for a lifetime.
The four of us can be said to have their own strengths, so the King of Jin all stayed and arranged a residence for the four of us. It's just that there is no ban, and it usually won't be there until after being favored.
King Jin gave the Yilan Hall to me, and during this period of time, the continuous running has really made me tired a lot.
After our first meeting during the day, we each had dinner and went back to our dormitories to rest. During the meal, Liu Ruyue sneered at me, but I ignored her, just barking as if she was a mad dog.
Mo Yu brought me hot water and said, "Girl, wash up!" Tomorrow, maybe there are other things waiting for the girl! I've been tired all day, so let's rest early! â
I sat alone in front of the mirror, looking at my beautiful face, and my hand involuntarily reached up and stroked it.
Ever since I decided to embark on this path, I haven't had any way back. Now, only by completing the task entrusted to me by the Queen Mother can I have the possibility of regaining my freedom. Only, will she really give me freedom? Looking at myself in the mirror, I couldn't help but smile sarcastically, and when the task is over, I'm afraid I won't have zĂ i!
"Moyu, you don't have to wash up, you can go outside with me!" I stood up, turned to Moyu and said.
Mo Yu was a little stunned all the time, and she couldn't help asking, "Girl, it's so late, where are you going?" We have just come to Jinling, and we are not familiar with the Jin Palace, in case we go to a place where we should not go, I am afraid that it will be troublesome. â
I know that Moyu's words are kind, but it is precisely because of this that I have to be different from others.
"Moyu, if you want us to do our best to complete the task assigned by the Queen Mother, then you must listen to me. Do you still remember how the Queen Mother explained to you before you left? I squinted at Moyu slightly, she didn't seem to trust me very much.
After Mo Yu heard this, she hurriedly lowered her head respectfully, "The slave doesn't dare, the queen mother has explained, and she has to listen to the girl's arrangement!" She said this, but her expression was obviously cold.
This girl didn't believe me, so she was just doing what the Queen Mother said.
Okay, then tonight I'll let her know how I gained King Jin's heart!
I asked Moyu to find a dark cloak for me and put it on my body, after all, it was still a little cold at night. Mo Yu carried the lantern and walked beside me, and we walked slowly as if we were in our own home.
Perhaps because we only came, King Jin didn't add too many guards to us. So, when we traveled, no one stopped us.
At this moment, it is spring, and in the garden of the Jin Palace, there are many flowers, red, pink, and white. Among them, pink peach blossoms and white magnolia flowers bloom the most vividly. Although it was already night, there were many lanterns hanging in the garden of the Jin Palace, adding another touch of color to these flowers.
Naturally, there are many withered petals in the garden, scattered all over the ground. I took the cloth bag I had prepared from Mo Yu's hand, squatted down, and filled all the petals into it.
"Who, who's there?" Not far away, someone with a lantern stood among the flowers.
After Mo Yu and I quickly exchanged glances, she quickly stepped forward, and when she saw that the person who came was the little fourth next to King Jin, she hurriedly bowed to him and saluted, "It's my girl in the garden, if there is a disturbance to the place, please bear with me!" â
Xiao Si didn't expect Mo Yu to be so polite to him, so he hurriedly saluted her and said, "It's really strict, they are all slaves, it's really unbearable!" I didn't expect that Miss Xu was there, and the slave was going back to His Royal Highness King Jin! â
The two of them were talking, and suddenly a man in white came to him, but seeing him with a smile on his face, who is it not the king of Jin, Liu Xian?
"What are you two talking about?" Liu Xian's hearty voice sounded, which made people feel very comfortable after listening to it.
Mo Yu and Xiao Si hurriedly lowered their heads and saluted Liu Shi. Mo Yu said: "Back to Your Highness, it's the girl in the garden!" â
Liu Xian's already good-looking brows furrowed slightly, and he asked with a little doubt: "Oh? Isn't there such a thing as a rest? â
Mo Yu lowered her head at this time, looking terrified, but she didn't say anything.
At this time, I hurriedly stood up, regardless of the mud on my clothes, carrying the cloth bag in my hand, hurriedly walked to Liu Xianji's side, bowed to him, and saluted, "Slave maid see His Royal Highness King Jin!" Hail to Your Highness! â
Liu Xi had already looked at me condescendingly, but he didn't speak, thinking that he must be looking at me with inquiring eyes at this moment, at this moment, what I did was to keep the status quo and not let myself have any panic.
After a moment of silence, he smiled softly and raised his hand to help me up, "Xu Xiangjun, a nice name." Didn't this king let you each rest your own? During the day, didn't you say that you were a little seasick because of the fatigue of the journey? Why, it's okay so soon? â
His tone seemed very concerned, but I could hear that there was a lot of reproach and tentative in his words. If I don't grasp it well at this moment, I will definitely waste all the work I have done before, so I quickly knelt down and said: "Originally, I was extremely tired, but during the day, when I passed by here, I found that there were a lot of fallen flowers, and I felt that it was a pity to let them go like this!" â
"It's a pity?" Liu Xi had already repeated her words and asked rhetorically, "What is a pity?" â
"Haven't Your Highness heard that 'falling red is not a ruthless thing, turning into spring mud is more protective of flowers'? Besides, such beautiful and pure petals are scattered on the soil like this, and the wind and rain blow all day long, and it is better to put them all in a cloth bag and bury them. In this way, you can make fertilizer for your flowers without letting the soil contaminate them! â
I finished these words slowly, and after that, I heard Liu Xian laugh out loud, "It's really interesting, this king has never seen a woman like you." After saying that, he helped me up from the ground, "Don't kneel down at every turn, it's still cold now, the ground is too cold, don't hurt your body!" â
I got up with him and said no more. Unexpectedly, at this moment, my feet suddenly slipped, and the whole person fell into Liu Shiji's arms.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and was close to me. Although I had been prepared in my heart, I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in the face of such a man, my face turned slightly red, and I tried to break free from him, "Your Highness......"
The atmosphere at this time was really ambiguous, and his beautiful face was close to my face, and I couldn't help but look away. And Xiao Si and Mo Yu also lowered their heads at this moment, if Liu Shi wanted to do something to me, they would never interfere.
"Are you resisting this king?" He stared at my face tightly, catching every expression in my eyes very clearly.
"The slave is already a person of the prince in this life, how can she resist the prince? It's just that my body is inconvenient and I can't serve the prince! â
When he heard my words, the hand that had been holding my waist went all the way up, from my back to my front, and suddenly grabbed my pulse.
A series of actions, from the ambiguity at the beginning, to the suspicion now, he did not have the slightest intention of panicking.
Although I am not very proficient in medical science, I know that he is actually doing it to test my pulse.
After a few moments, as if to confirm what I had said, he relaxed, and changed from a grim look on his face to a gentle smile. Then he lifted my smooth chin with his hand and said, "Actually, you have succeeded in attracting the attention of this king, and I thought that I would spoil you at once, lest you be so impatient." But it seems that this king has a wrong idea. Well, this king knows about today's events, so go back and rest! â
