Chapter 1: Rebirth in the Void
Donggong Ruoshui Pavilion
The quiet fragrance of tea slowly spreads, making this already quiet and elegant interior become tea-fragrant and sultry, overflowing with tea fragrance, light and long-lasting.
In front of the water pavilion is a slowly rotating waterwheel, the sound of tinkling dong water with the rotation of the waterwheel becomes clear and beautiful, the fragrance of tea surrounds, and it is the chic that is revealed in the tranquility that makes this water pavilion like a peach source.
"Girl, should we get up?" a faint voice fell with the sound of tinkling water, and a young girl whispered to the woman who was leaning on the soft couch with her back to her, afraid that her voice would disturb the woman who was leaning and resting, but her purpose was to arouse the woman to remind her that the time was near.
The voice fell half a ring, and the woman on the soft collapse got up, the girl's face was a little more anxious, and she raised her eyes to look at the woman who was lying on her back, only to see that she did not move at all, and the hair was scattered in the messy on the soft collapse with a little caressing, which made people feel inexplicably moved by the woman on the soft collapse just by this feeling.
"Girl, it's almost time" Although she was a little anxious, the girl still didn't raise her voice, for fear that her voice would disturb the woman on the soft floor.
As soon as her voice fell this time, she saw the woman on the soft collapse move her body lazily, and a slender hand gently brushed away the hair scattered on her cheeks, and then heard a soft but not gentle voice: "Yue'er, change my clothes for me"
The gentle voice has a woman's unique softness, which makes people feel deeply attracted by such a soft voice and indulge in it, as if they have been poisoned.
The girl named Yue'er replied, then stepped back and opened the door, allowing all the maids outside the room to enter.
With the arrival of the maids, there were many more squirming footsteps in the room, and no one wanted to make a loud noise in this room, because this was a quiet and elegant place, and no one wanted to disturb the quiet of this room.
After the maids put everything down, Yue'er gently lifted the woman up from the soft collapse.
As the woman got up, the hair poured down like a waterfall, and everyone who saw it felt a moment of affection.
The woman looked down at her feet, and beside her a woman was putting on her shoes, while on the other side, two maids had already brought her the clothes that had been arranged.
All she had to do was spread out her hands, and the two maids would dress her up.
After a while, the woman was dressed in a golden garment specially prepared for her, which was specially ordered by the king, and no, it should be that any garment on her body was specially ordered by the king to be made for her.
After putting on their clothes, the other two maids presented the ornaments in their hands, and on the tray, everything was shining with gold and dazzling.
These gold ornaments are coveted by any woman, and even these maids, who have served in the palace for many years, have never seen so many gold ornaments, and within a month, they have seen all the treasures of this world, rich and glorious.
When facing the shining gold ornaments, the woman only glanced at them coldly, and said without looking at them: "Take them down, I don't need any of these."
Hearing the woman say this, the maids looked at each other anxiously, and finally Yue'er, who was standing beside the woman and supporting the woman, spoke: "This is given to the girl by the king, and it doesn't seem very good that the girl doesn't want to." Looking at the gold ornaments, Yue'er only felt that her eyes were about to be dazzled by the gold ornaments, although the dazzling gold ornaments were beautiful, but they were not suitable for the beautiful and refined woman in front of her, she didn't seem to be a woman born in the world, she should be a fairy descending to earth, she should be a fairy-like figure, this gold ornament is too flashy and vulgar, it doesn't match her temperament, she doesn't know why the king, who has always known the girl very well, will give the girl such a reward, even if she is puzzled, but, there is nothing to do, because they are just servants of people's subordinates, acting under orders。
The woman glanced at Yue'er beside her, and her eyes became more and more cold: "Take it down, I don't need it"
"This" The maid holding the gold ornament in her hand reluctantly cast her eyes on Yue'er beside the woman again.
But helplessly, that Yue'er was also helpless, so she motioned for them to take them down, and then the woman asked them to dress up carefully.
The faint sunlight shone obliquely from the vermilion window lattice, and the room was filled with wisps of white mist wafting from the sandalwood incense, and the faint fragrance floated in silence.
The woman sat in front of the bronze mirror in a golden dress, staring at herself in the mirror with beautiful eyes, her eyes were like silk, but there was a faint bit of imperceptible emptiness.
"Girl, do you think this makeup looks good, if it's not good-looking, the maids will repair it for the girl" Leaning over beside the woman, Yue'er said with a smile on her face, and she didn't forget to comb her hair skillfully in her hands.
Looking at the flower-like beauty in the mirror, the maids in this room couldn't help but sigh in their hearts for this woman's peerless appearance, within a month, they have been serving this girl, from the beginning of the amazing, to now, they have to admit that the amazing feeling has always existed, has never disappeared.
Although this woman's background is unknown, her stunning beauty is really jealous even for women.
No wonder she was able to capture the king's heart so much, and she was able to make the king like this Ruoshui Pavilion day and night, and she was envied by all the women in the world.
The woman, who had not taken the maid's words to heart, got up and walked slowly towards the door, and the maid immediately followed her as soon as she saw this.
"Girl, I'll lead the way" Yue'er, who trotted to the woman's side, showed a little urgency on her face. Although this woman has an enviable and stunning face, she always has a trace of unapproachable coldness, as if she is hiding herself in a world of ice, and she does not want others to get close.
In the hall of a thousand colors, singing and dancing are leveled, and words and smiles are smiling.
The man sitting on the high seat, holding the gold cup in his hand, looked thoughtfully at the gold cup in his hand, staring, and lost his mind a little.
It wasn't until the sound of a palace person's announcement fell from his side that he pulled back his thoughts.
"Your Majesty, the girl has brought it"
He looked far away, and saw a woman in a golden dress outside the hall slowly walking into the hall surrounded by the maids.
Her arrival made this splendid Thousand Colors Hall really have the feeling of being as the name suggests.
Because of her appearance, he only felt that the brilliance in the Thousand Colors Hall was completely covered by her brilliance alone, and the noisy and noisy atmosphere in the Thousand Colors Hall also made the Thousand Colors Hall extremely quiet because of her arrival, no one dared to speak loudly, exhale loudly and inhale, just looked at the woman who slowly walked into the hall, and even someone slowly stood up from their positions.
"Ruoshui has seen the king" The soft voice sounded faintly in this quiet hall, crisp and moving.
And it was this soft voice that made the man who had lost his mind by her presence slowly retract his eyes that wandered above her stunning face.
"No need to salute, Ruo'er" He looked at the woman in the hall with a little nervousness, and there was a burst of uncontrollable joy in his heart.
And in the face of the man who was so excited about him, Ruoshui stopped his movements, looking at the man who wanted to step down from the high position, there was still a little emptiness in his eyes.
She remembered that the moment she woke up a month ago, the man in front of her appeared in front of her, she asked who you were, and he told her that he was the king of Dongyang.
And when she asked again who she was, he didn't hesitate to tell her that her name was Ruoshui.
He said that she was his beloved, he said that they were lovers, that he was the king of the eastern kingdom, and that she was the future queen of the eastern kingdom, and that they were about to have a grand wedding.
If water, if water, he said to her, he only takes one scoop of three thousand weak water, she is willing to do many things for her, willing to give her the most precious thing in the world, as long as she wants, as long as she wants, he will send someone to search.
He always liked to call her Ruo'er, and he said, Ruo'er was good, and he smiled very brightly at that time, as if even the daylight was inferior to the brilliance on his face.
But.
She accepted the past he gave her ignorantly, because she didn't know, she didn't know if her real name was Ruoshui, and she didn't know if she was his so-called lover and the future queen of the East.
However, every time she questioned her identity, there would always be a strong voice in her head telling herself, I am Ruoshui, I am the future queen of the Eastern Kingdom, and even the person she loves is him, Lan Lingxuan.
"Come,"
When she raised her eyes again, there was already a man standing in front of her, his eyes were shining brightly at her, very familiar eyes.
And he stood in front of her and stretched out his hand to her, such a scene was so familiar.
Looking at him, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand for some reason, even if she wanted to hesitate.
The slightly cool fingertips touched her skin, making her shiver, and the slight coolness in her heart opened, every time she got along with him, she had such an inexplicable feeling.
Accepting everyone's attention, she was slowly brought to a high position by him.
"If water, you sit beside this king"
Looking at the seat he was pointing to, Ruoshui was confused, she knew that she should sit in the position in front of her, not the position he was pointing to, because he was Jun.
The scene of the king stepping down from the high position for a woman and personally helping her to the high position was surprising to all the palace ministers present, because they knew that this woman was the king's new love, and they also admitted that it was natural for the king to be fascinated by such a woman, but it was too unbelievable that she was able to make the king deign to step down from the high position to greet her.
"Your Majesty, this is a broken rule, if Miss Shui can't sit here" The shrill voice reminded Lan Lingxuan in his ear, and the person who reminded him was Qiming, the palace man who had been serving Lan Lingxuan for many years.
He looked at the faces of the palace ministers under the hall, and his heart became more and more anxious, and he hurriedly reminded the king of the east, but received a decisive refusal.
Glancing at Qiming, Lan Lingxuan still didn't change his mind, he reached out to help Ruoshui's delicate body, intending to help her to his seat in person.
"Your Majesty, no need, Ruoshui is still sitting here, if Ruoshui sits next to the king, it is unreasonable" Looking at Lan Lingxuan's face, Ruoshui barely squeezed out a smile, she didn't know why she said this and caused her head to have a severe headache, such a headache was the most serious in history.
"What's the matter, Ruo'er" Seeing her face change drastically and frowning, Lan Lingxuan's heart ached, he knew that she couldn't go against her will, and she was now being punished against his will: "Is it a headache Ruo'er, okay, just sit here, this king won't force you, okay?"
Hearing what he said, Ruoshui only felt that her headache had been alleviated a lot, and she smiled when she looked at his worried eyes, but her heart was full of depression.
After combing her slightly messy hair, Lan Lingxuan returned to where she had been sitting, but as soon as she sat down, she heard a sound outside the door.
"The Queen Mother Arrived"
As this announcement fell, everyone in the audience stood up, the palace ministers all bowed towards the door with a straight face, and Lan Lingxuan, who was sitting on the high seat, also got up and walked down the high seat with Ruoshui to greet him.
After the ministers kowtowed, Lan Lingxuan bowed to his mother.
"The son greets the queen mother"
Slowly bowing, Ruoshui also bent down and bowed with him, but when she bowed, she could clearly feel that the Queen Mother's eyes had never shifted from her body all the time.
"Excuse me, the king" The faint voice fell, and the Queen Mother looked at the woman beside him with contemptuous eyes, and there was a trace of hatred in her heart.
"Thank you, Queen Mother" Lan Lingxuan saw that the Queen Mother's eyes had never left Ruoshui's body, so he immediately blocked in front of Ruoshui and led the way for his Queen Mother.
Thus, a fun for the monarchs and ministers began.
Looking at the superb singing and dancing and melodious music, Ruoshui couldn't listen to it or appreciate it.
She always felt puzzled, she remembered that the first time she saw the Queen Mother was on the third day of her awakening, that day, she came to her Ruoshui Pavilion angrily, she said that she didn't know who made the king dizzy, and just wanted to stay in this Ruoshui Pavilion all day long, when she saw her, the expression on her face was surprised, that expression was different from other people.
When others saw her, they always thought that her appearance was amazing, but she was surprised, and there was a trace of anger in that surprise, which she did not understand.
However, when she asked Lan Lingxuan, his eyes were still as gentle as water, and he said, don't mind the queen mother, she is a kind queen mother, and she has misunderstood her.
Misunderstandings, she wonders what it is that makes her more than just annoying her.
