Chapter 7: See You Again
Lingyue paced around the corner of the vermilion lacquer corridor, looking at the west wing from time to time, this is the upper and lower room of the prince's mansion, she has no choice but to come to Aunt Qiu Mao to try her luck, she is a person close to His Royal Highness the Prince, it would be best if she could say a few words in front of His Royal Highness.
She raised her head and just saw Qiu Mao coming out of the west wing, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, walked forward with hurried steps, folded her hands on her side and bent her knees, and said, "Aunt Qiu Mao is fine." ”
Seeing Lingyue's anxious expression, Qiu Mao stopped and asked with a little surprise, "Lingyue?" You're not in Hanshui Pavilion, how did you get here? The bun on her head was so clean that there was hardly a trace of hair in sight, and the gloomy weather made her face yellowish.
"Aunt Qiumao, the slave begs you, go and save the girl." Lingyue said anxiously.
"What's wrong with Hanshui Pavilion?"
"The silver beauty took people to Hanshui Pavilion early in the morning, and wanted to drive the girl out of the prince's mansion, the slave and maid were soft-spoken, and the aunt was kind and kind, and I begged you to save her."
Yin Ruixue has always been arrogant and arrogant, and she will never give up until she achieves her goal, if she ruins His Highness's plan... No, this matter still needs to be reported to His Highness.
"Don't worry, you go back first, and I'll report to Your Highness." Qiu Mao didn't show a trace to hide her thoughts, and replied.
"Thank you, Aunt Qiumao." Lingyue suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, Aunt Qiu Mao made a move, thinking that the girl would be spared from being bullied today, so she hurriedly thanked her, and hurriedly turned around and returned to Hanshui Pavilion.
……
Suddenly, Qiu Mao walked into the Yuqing Hall with hot tea, there was a pot of elegant chrysanthemums on the sandalwood case in the main hall, in front of the hollow Xiaoxuan window, Bai Chengjin was leisurely flipping through the simple book, the brocade robe on his body was fine ice blue silk, fine and luxurious, and the ink-dyed hair under the silver crown was scattered on the shoulders, floating with a soft luster.
Qiu Mao unhurriedly bypassed the four dragon pattern copper tripod incense burners, stepped forward and respectfully curtched and said, "Your Highness, this is the dragon well before the rain in Xingong this spring." As he spoke, he placed the dragon well before the rain, which was just the right temperature, on the square table.
"Hmm." Bai Chengjin hung his eyelashes, turned the title page with an elegant demeanor, and replied lightly, his hands were very clean, and the jade wrench fingers showed a clear green light.
"Your Highness, Hanshui Pavilion... The girl she saved that day had an accident..."Qiu Mao asked tentatively in an uncertain tone.
Hearing this, Bai Chengjin paused slightly, and said in a low tone with a slight indifference: "What's the matter." ”
"It was said that the silver beauty led people to make trouble in Hanshui Pavilion, and they wanted to drive that girl out of the prince's mansion..."
Bai Chengjin didn't seem to hear it, and still lowered his eyes and flipped through the title page, so that people couldn't see the emotion.
There was no response for a while, Qiu Mao's heart was slightly panicked, although he had served His Highness for many years, it was still difficult to figure out half of His Highness's thoughts, if it was said that only His Royal Highness King Lin and Commander Xia could guess His Highness's thoughts a little, but today Commander Xia was sent out to perform official duties, and the matter of Hanshui Pavilion was imminent, how can this be good! Qiu Mao retracted her complicated thoughts, and didn't dare to say more, so she could only gently withdraw from Yuqing Hall first, and then think about it.
……
At this time, Hanshui Pavilion was in a bustle.
The people's ugly denunciations were endless.
Miao Su has been burned into a daze, her eyes are half-closed, her trembling eyelashes cover the beautiful eyes, she can't see the eyes, the cuffs are rudely pulled up, firmly pressed on the wooden pier, and the snow-white lotus arms are dotted with palace sand, which is particularly eye-catching.
The decaying pier surface forms a strong contrast with her white wrists, stimulating people's vision, and every knife mark of different shades seems to record the "sin" of the past.
Seeing this, there was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and they looked at Miao Su with some sympathy.
Yin Ruixue looked down at Miao Su with a lofty posture, the silver hollow armor was slightly warped, as if deliberately showing her favored status, she raised her eyebrows, pinched the delicate Juan Pa to cover her lips, her eyes were full of smug mockery, and she said with a little disgust: "Sister, the palace rules are strict, and Hugh blames my sister for being ruthless." ”
Miao Su opened her eyes weakly, her ears buzzing, and she felt as if there were worms wriggling and biting in her body, and the sharp pain and burning sensation were tearing at her reason.
She had a hunch that this was by no means as simple as wind chill.
The gloomy weather, with a dull thunder, grew louder and louder, as if to break out of the shackles of the thick clouds, tear the clouds apart, and free them.
Lingyue's eyes were slightly red and she ran over from the front of the courtyard gate, and was about to rush over, but was grabbed by Yin Ruixue's minions, she wanted to break free from the restraints, but her strength was too small, and when her eyes fell on Miao Su's palace guard, her expression changed suddenly, and she was shocked.
Lingyue is naturally shocked, for women to keep the palace sand is extremely precious, in addition to their husband, must not be seen by other men, it is the confirmation of the woman's ice clear jade, but also the representative of chastity, once other men see the palace sand, then the most important reputation in a woman's life will be destroyed, so that it will be more painful than killing her, in Zhao State, some women in Zhao in order to get the archway of chastity before death, a lifetime of tulle to cover their faces, no men, just to glorify three generations of descendants.
What's more, if you cut off your hands, you will be regarded as the lowest sinner, not even inferior to the untouchables, and will always be spit on and trampled on!
Master, she...
"Dare to come back, you will be indispensable later." Yin Ruixue didn't bother to raise her eyelids and sneered.
The guard in Xuan Qingyi looked at Yin Ruixue's face, then pulled out a sharp knife that was bright and slight, and slashed at her wrist with a wave of his arm, just a millimeter away from her wrist, an ice-blue figure swept by at a rapid speed, and before everyone could see it clearly, the sharp blade was tightly held by a slightly cool and powerful hand, and she couldn't move for half a minute! On the slender fingers, the jade wrench symbolizes the supreme power.
Bright red blood slid down the palm slit, dripping at the corners of Miao Su's eyes, her curly eyelashes trembled slightly, slowly closed her eyes, and a face that turned the world upside down came into view, his extremely beautiful Danfeng eyes are like the sacred pool water on the top of the Tianshan Mountains, quiet and mysterious, and the skin is like the white snow lotus in the Kunlun Mountains, clear and fragrant.
His back was straight, as if in this poplar-like figure, there was a great strength of tenacity.
In the next second, her body was weightless, her soft waist was tightened by a force, falling into the warm and firm chest, and a faint and good aroma lingered on the tip of her nose, gradually invading her heart and lungs...
"Sonorous" Bai Chengjin waved his sleeves and plunged the long knife into the bluestone ground, suddenly exuding a compelling killing aura.
Several Xuanqingyi guards trembled violently, knelt on the ground and said in horror: "Your Highness, Your Highness." ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and when they came to their senses, they all knelt on the ground and shouted in unison:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chitose Chitose, Chitose!"
Yin Ruixue knelt on the ground with everyone, she raised her head, the seductive eyes couldn't hide her surprise, she looked at the beautiful woman in Bai Chengjin's arms, a kind of anger and jealousy spread from her heart, and suddenly the bottom of her eyes flashed ruthlessly, no one could enter his eyes, so that he fell in love with him, and he would not look sideways for anyone, although Yin Ruixue knew, but the desire for him in her heart still made her have a trace of expectation, she had thought, maybe... Will she be the only exception? But today, how can he, how can he... Such a gaffe! She could even feel the anger he had never felt before.
Bai Chengjin's dark pupils stared at Yin Ruixue with a slight coldness, such icy eyes made her body tremble violently, and her heart throbbed violently, he knew that she was originally the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, with a noble position, a status that countless women envied, for him, she gave up this extremely noble identity, and only wanted to be his concubine, even though he hadn't touched her yet, but she could feel that he was different from other beautiful concubines in the mansion, wasn't he?
Bai Chengjin retracted his gaze, and glanced at several guards kneeling on the ground from the corner of his eye, and his magnetic voice carried an incorruptible coercion.
"Stand down."
"Yes, yes."
Several Xuanqingyi guards got up from the ground in a panic and stumbled out of the Hanshui Pavilion.
Miao Su smelled the faint cleanliness of his body, like the fragrance of a snow lotus, a hanging heart fell, and the pain in his body swept like a tide again, as if cells were divided, pulled, bitten, and burned... She couldn't hold it anymore, and she closed her eyes and passed out.
………
Following
The golden gauze curtains, the warm jade smoke.
A ray of sunlight shines through the openwork lattice window.
Miao Su woke up from the red sandalwood bed, she supported the bed with her hands, sat up slowly, her long hair like a waterfall scattered on her chest, lining her delicate goose egg face even smaller, like clotted fat jade skin glowing ruddy luster, and her sleepy eyes were filled with a layer of water, blurred smoke.
She glanced around, the luxurious Bogu shelves and low-hanging curtains in the room were antique, revealing a luxurious and elegant atmosphere.
Where is this?
She lowered her head, the ice-blue brocade quilt on her body exuded a vague, clean, elegant fragrance of snow lotus, the dress was faded, leaving only the crescent white middle clothes, her head was still very heavy, she rubbed her temples, that special pain had disappeared, yesterday... He saved her again...
Miao Su stretched out his hand to lift the brocade quilt, put on embroidered shoes, walked from the bed to the shelf and took out a clean Pearl Lake dress, after dressing neatly, he walked to the door of the dormitory with a light move, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Bai Chengjin was standing in front of the bookcase, leaning over slightly to pinch the pen and paint, and the rice paper on the case was blown up and down by the wind.
His expression was focused, his perfect side face was like a knife and axe, and his body was covered with a layer of golden light like soft yarn, and his handsomeness was suffocating.
The delicate fragrance of the chrysanthemums attracted Miao Su, and the plate of chrysanthemums on the sandalwood case in the main hall was blooming, and she slowly approached the chrysanthemums and was about to appreciate them, when a warm and magnetic voice came from her ears.
"You like chrysanthemums?"
"Yes, every year chrysanthemum is the last one of the hundred flowers to wither, after the wind and frost, many flowers in the greenhouse are withered early, but only chrysanthemums, can face the wind and frost, waiting for the last splendor, the folk girl likes its unique wind and bones very much."
Miao Su smiled sideways and replied, from this angle, she just saw the chrysanthemum depicted by Bai Chengjin.
Her heart was deeply shocked, a few strokes will be the shape of the chrysanthemum, color, rhyme, outlined vividly, in his pen, chrysanthemum to the wind and frost posture, proudly blooming, noble bones, elegant loyalty, undoubtedly shown, "a flower a world, a leaf a Bodhi", each stroke can feel the inspiration of nature to life.
She couldn't help but walk to the bookcase and wanted to take a closer look, just like the wonderful sound of the piano last time, beautiful things will always make people fascinated, addicted to it and unable to extricate themselves.
Bai Chengjin's extremely beautiful phoenix eyes shone with an elegant starlight like mist, and he looked at Miao Su and raised his pen to greet her.
"You come and write for it."
Miao Su smiled, revealing her white teeth, just what she wanted, she walked over to catch the pen, was about to put down the pen, the pain from her wrist made her fingers slightly loose, Miao Su's heart tightened, if it fell on the paper, the exquisite picture scroll was destroyed by her, a warm hand held her wrist to carry the pen, his hand was very warm, very wide, with a sense of security can give her silent power, her heart beat faster like a drum, she couldn't help but slow down her breathing, she could feel his heartbeat through the tough chest, The unique fragrance of snow lotus lingers around her body, making people's hearts ripple.
A gust of wind blew, the green silk was entangled, I don't know whose hair brushed the bridge of his high nose, thin lips like cherry blossoms, Miao Su looked sideways to see his delicate and flawless skin with almost no pores, I have to admit that he is very charming, warm and elegant with a bit of danger, as if he will accidentally fall into a carefully woven love network, deep in it and unable to extricate himself...
"Hongu is so beautiful."
Miao Su's cheeks burned, and he hurriedly withdrew his eyes, a faint red appeared on his jade cheeks, and the tenderness of his bowed head overflowed with a gurgling spring, like a water lotus flower that was too shy to the cool breeze, which was pitiful.
Bai Chengjin stared at Miao Su tightly, his eyes were extremely bright, and a strange and ambiguous taste of affection rippled between the two, diffuse, and entangled...
