Text Chapter 5 There are inexplicable beads

The eldest lady of the family personally went to the treasury to help me choose a piece of clothing, and in order to serve me to freshen up, she also specially assigned two skillful maids to enter my room. Pity those two maids, I have to hold a heavy makeup for me to call when I have an errand, no way, who told me that I don't have a single jewelry?

I happily welcomed the two maids into my door, their mouths were opened and closed, I am afraid that they are used to being pampered in this Tang Xiangguo Mansion, although they are maids' bodies, they are afraid that they live better than me.

These two maids are called Xiao Yi and Xiao Er, their names are easy to remember, and their temperament is also interesting. Xiao Yi put a mirror in front of me, and Xiao Er took a copper basin and went outside to ask for hot water. At this time, I washed my face again and looked at myself carefully, and I was very stunned at this sight, the person in the mirror was beautiful and ethereal, and very familiar.

is so familiar, it seems that after watching myself for more than ten years, this is what I think by default.

So I was even more sure of my amnesia, and when I woke up, I was wet, and according to Aunt Zou, I fell into the lotus pond. But even if I am a fool with a crooked mouth and squinted eyes, I will not run to the lotus pond on the house against the big sun and stumble, someone must have assassinated me.

But this thing is really weird, I am not favored in this family, and to this day I don't understand which woman's stomach I beat out, who has to spend time to harm my life, and where do I come from a skill, so that the emperor will give a decree to give marriage, so that a prince will marry me, an unfavored daughter?

I vaguely remember that day when I listened to the corner of the wall, there was a maid who said the word "Chongxi", maybe it was because of the birthday of the eight characters and the Yue Wangye, so I wanted to marry into the house? But this chong joy to say, but also because the husband has been ill for a long time, so he wants to mourn the happy event, I think the prince is in good health, except for the fact that he does not like to appear in the sun because of the damage to his skin and flesh when he was a child, there is nothing wrong with the rest.

It's weird, it's weird, my mind is confused.

"Girl, you're dressed well."

With this face as the foundation, where can you dress up badly? I looked at the yellowed image in the bronze mirror and was narcissistic for a moment, and casually asked, "What time is it?" ”

"Back girl, it's three o'clock now." As soon as Xiao Yi's words fell, Xiao Er, who went to pour water outside, stepped into the door in a hurry and urged me: "Girl, hurry up and prepare, the carriages of Yue Wang's Mansion have already arrived at the gate of the mansion." ”

According to the etiquette law, men and women are not allowed to meet after they have been married. But there is one other day, and that is the Begging Festival.

On the begging festival, the daughter's family can go out on the street with a mask and go out of the house to have fun in a down-to-earth manner. The gap between men and women can be built on this day to build a long bridge that can come and go, and it is a rare release of nature.

The dress that the eldest lady chose for me was very beautiful, and it was very auspiciously embroidered with a pattern of spring and longevity, and I was sent out of the main gate by the soft sedan chair carried by two mothers-in-law, and directly into a black carriage, the faint breath made me feel that there was someone inside, and the familiar chuckle made me breathe a sigh of relief.

"Scared?" A hand in a black leather case reached out to me from the carriage, "Come in." ”

"The women don't dare." I said that I didn't dare, but my behavior was extremely bold, and I directly ignored the hand that the prince stretched out to me, and got into it neatly.

This carriage is quite large, but it is a pity that the blackout windows are so tightly pasted that not a single ray of light can penetrate it. Yue Wang Ye sat in the innermost, vaguely I could only make out a general outline, and he seemed to be keenly aware that I was looking at him, so he deliberately straightened his waist, looking like he was letting me look at it.

Somehow I was amused by him, and sat down not far from him. I could hear him say, "You don't want to get into my carriage?" ”

I replied, "How can I not, I am very willing." ”

"But you don't want to hold my hand."

"I'm going to come up eventually, hold your hand, or climb up by myself, I'm going to come up."

He asked slowly, "Wouldn't it be easier to hold my hand?" ”

It's good to save effort, but I'm too lazy to say that I don't like skin-to-skin contact with people, so I weighed it and chose a more one-size-fits-all reason: "I like this, so I did this." ”

Yue Wang Ye also seemed to be amused by me, his straight back leaned on the soft pillow, the clothes were luxurious, and the sound of rubbing against each other was also different.

The wheels of the car slowly turned, the noise penetrated my ears through a thin layer of window paper, and the extraordinary bustle was approaching me at great speed, but it was still dark around me.

The prince doesn't like to put himself in the sun, and I'm naturally not a person who likes to force others. But he didn't know why he suddenly asked me, "Do you want to light the lamp?" ”

I'm sincere: "Yes." ”

I'm not a person who likes to push myself, and it's sad to see the darkness of the five fingers.

The prince said, "Then let's order it." But my carriage is made of wood, and I don't dare to light it with a candle. ”

I was about to say that there was no need to bother, for I did not like trouble more than reluctance, but before my mouth could be opened, I heard a few shuffling noises from him, and in a short time a box of some weight was dropped on me. I shook it in my hand and heard the sound of a small bead swaying around.

Everywhere it hits, it's a soft click, and it won't be broken.

"What is this?"

"Lights."

Something suddenly popped up in my head inexplicably, and blurted out: "Night Pearl? ”

The prince gave a rare heaval and praised me: "Yes, she is a girl who has read the scriptures a lot." ”

In fact, not only did I not read poetry and books, but even my mind was blank, but I really don't know where I remembered the pearl this night. I thought carefully about the furnishings in my room, the square is square, the house is surrounded by four walls, and there is indeed no trace of the pen and ink inkstone.

Judging by the attitude of the people in the house towards me, I don't look like someone who can read a book for me.

Who am I and why do I have amnesia?

This made me feel even more that in the confusing environment around me, someone deliberately took my hand and put a touch of fear on my face.

Xu saw that I was shouting Huan Chang before, but I didn't move for a long time, and the hoarse voice of the prince pulled me out of my thoughts: "What's the matter, isn't it easy to open?" ”

I hurriedly said, "No, I just mentioned the Night Pearl, and I was thinking about its value." If I remember correctly, there is one of the 800 subjects of my dynasty in the South China Sea, and there is a country that is good at controlling mermaids, and feeds on their flesh, clothes on their scales, threads on their hair, and ..... their eyes."

Use its eyes as lights.

I wisely didn't say it directly, as if I could fool myself into thinking that there was no such thing.

The prince smiled: "Read the book and read it all, it's good." But don't be afraid, although this bead is a tribute from the South China Sea, it is not a bloody eyeball. I rule the country with benevolence and virtue, and I have always paid tribute to objects that do not contain the intention of slaughtering blood, and my night pearl is an extremely rare deep-sea treasure, so you can open it and take a look? ”

It's not impossible to open it and take a look. Who really makes me curious?

So I obediently opened the lock, but very cleverly opened a very thin gap, and for a moment, the cold gloom color dissipated, and at the same time, I also smelled a very light salty smell, a faint fresh smell, without the slightest trace of blood.

I must have never seen the sea, but I can already imagine its magnanimity and fraternity.

At this moment, I was completely at ease, and I didn't hesitate any longer, so I simply opened the lid of the box with all my strength.

Surrounded by the brightness, the light shone like a small sun.

I squinted, until I got used to this brightness, and then took the box to see, this box is the size of a palm, lined with red brocade, and the pearl that is placed safely is only the size of a baby's fist, if it is an ordinary pearl, I am afraid that it is only a high-priced treasure in the world.

But this pearl will shine, and although the luster is bright but very warm to the eyes, it can be seen that it is an extremely rare treasure.

There was another sound of cloth rubbing, I clearly felt the soft collapse beside me being pressed down, a big living person approached me, this person said slowly: "This night pearl of the South China Sea tribute is replaced by the Tianxuan pearl, the shape is round, the color is warm and bright, it is the best tribute." ”

I couldn't take my eyes off this bead, and sighed casually: "What a baby, Your Majesty is really generous, and he rewarded you so easily?" ”

"It's not for me." He sighed softly.

I didn't pay much attention to his sigh, my fingers rubbed this smooth bead, and said: "The Thousand Characters Essay says, the heaven and the earth are yellow, the universe is desolate, the sun and the moon are full of flowers, and the stars are lined up. ”

But with Tianxuan, why don't you have rehmannia?

I had doubts in my heart again, and I couldn't help but raise my head to call the puzzle person: "Lord Wang......"

I didn't look up just now, firstly, because the beads had lost my energy, and secondly, the rumors frightened my soul. Looking up at this moment, I was already mentally prepared, but Rao was so prepared, I couldn't help but be stunned.

I was shocked, scared, and my eyes were unbelievably sore and painful for no apparent reason.

Tears.

Tears rolled to my lips with warmth, and penetrated into my mouth along the gaps in the corners of my mouth, salty and bitter, and uncomfortably palpitating.

I didn't understand why I had such a strange reaction, and the man sitting next to me was nothing more than a man with this dark iron mask on his face, and his body was tightly hidden under a wide robe, but I met his eyes, which were extremely beautiful, and the tail horns were slightly raised, and I wept for no reason.

And when I tasted the taste of tears, I realized the heartache in hindsight, and this heartache also came inexplicably.

My reaction was so strange that it frightened the person on the other side, and he hurriedly raised his hand, and when he reached a place where there was light, he remembered that his hands were wearing leather holsters, and he was a little overwhelmed.

The tears were still flowing, but I was used to the heartache. I took a deep breath, wiped the tears on my face with my sleeve, and said chicly: "Don't blame the prince, I don't know what's wrong, maybe I have a heart disease inexplicably." ”

His eyes were a little lonely: "This king is scared? ”

I hurriedly waved my hand: "Maybe I was scared by this bead, I have never seen such a rare thing when I am so old, so naturally I didn't react at once, I lost my temper, and I ask the prince to forgive me." ”
