CHAPTER XXIX

Xin Yao got up in the morning, saw that there was no movement in the inner room, and Twilight Liuyun should still be asleep, so she quietly went out, took out the Qiankun bag in the place where she usually practiced swords, and counted it. Some pills were obtained with Mo Wen, knowing that they would be useful in the future, so he asked for some, and the silver was saved a little more than one or two, which was a little less, and it was enough to last for a while, go out first, and then talk about it, it is too obvious to go during the day, and it will be discovered soon, just tonight. Xin Yao thought about it, put the things into the Qiankun bag, and returned to the courtyard.

Twilight was already waiting for her at the stone table, and Xin Yao lowered her head, too weak to look at Twilight.

After the two of them finished their meal silently, Twilight left and said that they were going to the palace.

Xin Yao waited for him to walk for a while, entered the house, and opened the cabinet, which was the clothes she usually wore, almost all of them were maid clothes, only a set of pink skirts from the time she went shopping, which was a bit luxurious, and it was too eye-catching to wear. Xin Yao sighed, regretting that she had thrown away the previous coarse cloth clothes too early, there was no way, she couldn't go to the manservant to ask for it, forget it, take two first, and some can be exchanged.

Taking advantage of Twilight's absence, he cleaned up the house inside and out, rearranged Twilight's clothes, smoked incense, wrote a letter to Twilight, and put it in his arms first.

After finishing his work, he went to Mo Wen, thinking that he was leaving, even if he couldn't tell the master, he should go and see him, although he was not a serious master, but he did teach himself a lot.

When she arrived at Taoyuan, Xin Yao was simply there, and Twilight Liuyun didn't come back at noon, it was estimated that there was something big in the palace, and she couldn't leave.

Xin Yao was worried about leaving at night, so she came back early, hid the written letter under Twilight Cloud's pillow, pulled out the white magnolia hairpin on her head and touched it, ready to put it with the letter, thought about it, and didn't look back, and sat in the courtyard waiting for Twilight Cloud after being busy.

Twilight Liuyun actually came out of the palace a long time ago, and was dragged by the four princes and went to his mansion, saying that someone else had given him a golden silk nanmu screen and invited him to appreciate it together. Twilight Liuyun thought of Xin Yao, and was still angry with him, so she simply stayed in the Four Princes' Mansion and didn't come back until the sun was in the west.

When he entered the courtyard, he saw Xin Yao sitting there waiting for him. Twilight Cloud's heart warmed.

Jinzhu was waiting outside the courtyard early in the morning, and when she saw the adults coming back, she came in and asked, "Can you serve the meal?" ”

Twilight nodded and entered the house to change clothes, smelling the aroma in the room and the scent of smoke on the clothes, she immediately understood Xin Yao's thoughts, opened the pillow again, picked up the letter and smiled, and put it back as it was.

After changing his clothes, he came out and sat down with Xin Yao, the two of them were eating, and Twilight Liuyun drank some wine.

As the night deepened, Xin Yao listened to the twilight clouds in the inner room and shouted softly: "Adult, adult." "No one answered. Only then did I get out of bed with confidence. Walked to the door gently, and was about to open the door to go out, only to hear the inner room shout: "Yao'er......"

Xin Yao was so frightened that she responded: "Here, is there anything wrong with the adults?" ”

Twilight muttered in the back room, "Sleep well......"

Xin Yao hurriedly ran back to the bed and lay down, not knowing if Twilight Liuyun was talking in a dream, or if she really woke up, she waited quietly for a while, but fell asleep in a daze, and slept until dawn.

When I woke up in the morning, Xin Yao regretted it to death, why did she fall asleep, alas! I had to leave tonight, for fear that Twilight would find out about the letter and secretly take it back.

At night, Xin Yao was lying on the bed, staring wide-eyed, thinking that she was waiting, waiting, and when the adults fell asleep, I would leave...... I felt a little sleepy, pinched myself, but I was still sleepy, but I fell asleep, and it was dawn again.

The next day, Xin Yao woke up and sat on the bed, what's the matter, she wasn't tired during the day, why did she fall asleep? Just thinking about it, she heard Twilight Liuyun calling her, "Yao'erβ€”β€”, up?" ”

Xin Yao hurriedly responded: "Get up...... " quickly put on her shoes, ran to the back room and asked, "What do you command?" ”

Twilight lifted the curtain and said, "Today, my lord, I want to paint, on the boat, you accompany me, don't go to Mo Wen." ”

Xin Yao had no choice but to respond: "Yes." ”

Today Twilight Liuyun is really interested, in the morning in the small lake in the boat painting, in the afternoon in the painting boat to play the piano, the whole day on the boat, the boat on the water swaying, fluttering, shaking Xin Yao's head is almost dizzy, so that there is no energy at all, get off the boat, feel the ground is turning, slow down for a long time.

At night, Xin Yao lay on the bed, feeling like she was still on a boat, swaying, no, just sit up, it's okay, as a result, she fell asleep while sitting, and it was still dawn when she slept.

That's it, for four or five days in a row, sleeping until dawn every day, Xin Yao sat on the bed with her head in her hands, it seems that it is not possible to go this night, just during the day, wait for the adults to go to the palace one day, I am acting,

Well, if you think about it, let's do it.

I waited for several days, and finally, someone from the palace invited Twilight Liuyun to the palace to discuss something. Twilight changed her clothes and left.

Xin Yao followed him from afar, watched him go out of the gate of the National Teacher's Mansion, and waited for a while, ready to go out of the gate, but as soon as he arrived at the door, the guards stopped him: "Miss Xin Yao, you can't leave the house." ”

Xin Yao wondered: "Why?" Others can go out, why can't I? ”

The guard said: "My lord ordered, Miss Xinyao can't leave the house at any time, and please don't embarrass the girl, please go back." ”

Xin Yao had no choice but to go back, thinking about it again, there is still the back door, don't you just go through the back door, last time I saw it with Jinzhu, it seems that no one is watching.

So I walked quickly to the back door and hid behind a tree to take a closer look, but there was really no one. Xin Yao was bold, walked out and pushed the back door, but it didn't close, it was great, so she quickly opened the door and ran out.

Just a few steps away, Xin Yao's eyes widened, and a few big dogs squatted at the mouth of the alley, staring at him with bared teeth.

Since I met the wolf before, Xin Yao was particularly afraid of dogs, seeing these few, Xin Yao's soul was gone, turned around and ran back, those dogs saw her running, barked and chased after her, I don't know how to run two on the opposite side, barking and running over, this time, there are dogs on both sides, getting closer and closer, Xin Yao can't run forward, can't go back, saw that the door in the backyard was still open, quickly ran in, closed the door, listened to the dog barking outside, patted his chest in fright, panting.

It's hard to get over, and I can't go through this back door, so I can only go back first, maybe the adults will come back in a while. Xin Yao returned to her yard dejectedly, sat on the stone bench, didn't want to do anything, and was spontaneously in a daze.

***

Emperor Zhou summoned Twilight Liuyun in the side hall. Twilight Liuyun went in, only to find that there was still a concubine. After seeing the ceremony, Emperor Zhou gave the seat.

Waiting for Twilight Liuyun to sit down, Emperor Zhou said with a smile: "I called you here today because I asked you something. ”

Twilight replied, "Your Majesty just asks." ”

Concubine Xian Niangniang on the side couldn't wait anymore and asked, "This palace wants to know, can the national teacher marry?" ”

Twilight quickly understood, stood up and replied, "The minister is not married yet. ”

Emperor Zhou was very happy when he heard this, and said to Du Liuyun: "Okay, good, a talent like you must be more picky, and if you want to marry, you have to marry someone who can match, you say, right?" ”

Twilight said, "Although the minister has not taken a wife, he already has a crush, and he thinks that he will soon confess to the woman and marry her. ”

Emperor Zhou listened, this meant that there was already someone in his heart, so he looked at Concubine Xian.

The smile on Concubine Xian's face suddenly disappeared, but it doesn't matter, as long as she says that her daughter wants to marry him, he is a concubine, and there is no other woman in the entire Zhou Kingdom who can compare to my Yuyan. So he said kindly: "National teacher, as long as you don't marry for a day, you don't count, today, the emperor and I want to be a matchmaker and marry Princess Pingyang to you, what do you think?" ”

Twilight Liuyun: "I'm afraid that the minister will live up to the emperor and Concubine Xian's good intentions, the minister has made up his mind not to marry someone he loves, so please don't embarrass the emperor and Concubine Xian, and the minister is grateful." ”

Emperor Zhou: "It's okay, it's okay, I called you here today to ask, since the national teacher has been selected, we don't have to worry about it, just wait to drink the national teacher's happy wine, hehe......"

Twilight Liuyun got up and saluted: "Emperor Xie and Concubine Xian Niangniang are complete, if there is nothing to do, can the minister retire first?" ”

Emperor Zhou smiled: "Okay, it's nothing, if you have something, go back." ”

Twilight Liuyun: "Emperor Xie, the minister retired." ”

After Twilight Liuyun withdrew, Concubine Xian said hatefully: "Your Majesty, you are too indulgent to him, isn't it just a national teacher, Pingyang married him, that is his Gao Pan, look at him, he actually didn't agree, Emperor, you don't treat him!" ”

Emperor Zhou said sharply: "What do you know, if it weren't for Yu Heng, do you think he could stay in Zhou State!" He serves my Zhou country like this, I know that I am satisfied, such as today is divided, wars are frequent, all countries are recruiting talents, you can't chill the hearts of courtiers for marriage, Yuyan wants to find whomever she wants, I can help her, only he can't, die this heart! ”

Seeing that the emperor was displeased, Concubine Xian didn't dare to say anything, so she had to retreat.

***

Twilight returned to the mansion and saw Xin Yao sitting there in a daze, went over and twisted her face, Xin Yao was in pain, and reached out to hit Twilight Liuyun's arm, but Twilight Liuyun grabbed her hand and put it under her nose and smelled it: "It's so fragrant, what kind of balm did you rub?" ”

Xin Yao blushed, and she didn't pull out her hand, so she had to say, "No ......"

Twilight said, "It's so fragrant, is it body fragrance?" ”

Xin Yao scolded in her heart: Deng's disciple is obscene...... But he still said, "Maybe it's the fragrance that I dyed when I picked the flowers." ”

Twilight let go of her hand, lay down on a wicker chair in the courtyard, and said, "Someone told me about matchmaking today. ”

Xin Yao listened: "Really, congratulations to my lord." ”

"Do you want to know what woman it is?"

Xin Yao asked curiously, "Who?" ”

Twilight replied, "Princess Pingyang of the Zhou Kingdom! ”

"Wow! It's still a princess, okay, congratulations, congratulations, when will you cross the door. Xin Yao unintentionally blessed.

Twilight Liuyun listened to Xin Yao's words, and really wanted to hug her and ask: You just want to push me out like that! It's heartless!

Twilight Liuyun simply closed her eyes, pretended to be asleep, and ignored Xin Yao.
