The daylight is fading, and the light is flickering.

The shadow of the hazy cherry blossom tree is reflected on the clear and crystal water, the dark light and shadow half cover and half cover the blue duckweed, the gurgling water flows from the rockery, the splashing cool water droplets raise the colorful clear pearl flying jade, and a few light blue water dragonflies linger and sweep low, waving bursts of clear light ripples.

The octagonal pavilion made of white marble is warm and the breeze is leisurely, the fresh and elegant pastries of various colors are placed in the gold plate inlaid with beads and jade, and the hibiscus flower dew in the white jade cup is crystal clear, flowing with a light but fragrant fragrance.

"Miss, did you say she would come today? The slave maid looked at the sky and it was not early, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, but the woman was still nowhere to be seen. The lilac palace skirt embroidered with petal magnolia flowers fluttered slightly in the warm breeze, and the summer evening lowered her eyes to stare at Nan Zuisheng's picturesque side face, and it was difficult to hide worry in her eyes.

Mo Yu's long hair hung down on the soft white gauze skirt, and Nan Zuisheng hooked his pale red lips when he heard this: "What's the hurry?" If you're ready to cast a long line to catch a big fish, how can you not have the patience to wait for the fish to catch the bait? ”

The pretty and bright appearance was impregnated with a faint color of worry, and the summer evening lowered her eyes to stare at the dark shadow of the cherry blossom trees in the pavilion, and her voice was slightly low: "Hmm...... What the eldest lady said was that the slave maid really had no score in her heart, after all, the woman was ruthless and scheming, and the slave was worried that the eldest lady would suffer. ”

The face of the national color and Tianxiang is slowly blooming like a peony flower, and Nan Zuisheng looks at the quiet and beautiful scenery outside the pavilion from afar, and his smile is elegant and shallow: "What is the loss?" You must know that open guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to defend. Now we are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark, and there is no other way but to lure the serpent out of the hole. ”

"Anyway, the slave doesn't want the eldest lady to be harmed in any way, if she dares to plot to frame the eldest lady, the slave will bite her back and drag her into the water even if she fights for her life!" The red lips were tightly pursed into a pale line, and in the jade pavilion where the summer evening was frowning, he gritted his teeth and said slowly.

The narrow and slender jade fingers casually flicked over the fluttering phoenix-tailed butterfly, and Nan Zuisheng stared at the red rose bushes in full bloom outside the pavilion, and his words were meaningful: "Summer evening, these words are not allowed to be said again in the future." You must know that in this palace, it has always been murderous without seeing blood, if you let this palace see blood in a grand manner, wouldn't you be a sinner? Only by killing people invisibly can we really open a battlefield without gunsmoke. ”

"The slave knows her mistake, please forgive Miss Nanda." Hearing the words in the summer evening, she couldn't hide her ashamed eyebrows and lowered her head, and the light peach smudged on the moist and flawless skin, reflecting her more and more gentle and beautiful, charming and colorful.

The fresh and elegant soft white gauze skirt fluttered in the warm breeze, Nan Zuisheng raised his eyes to look at the summer evening with a ashamed expression, and his voice was clear and soft: "There is nothing wrong with you, but there are some words that cannot be easily declared, because the most important thing in the palace is the hearts of people who are deceitful." ”

At this point, she hooked her pale red lips, and the shadows of the dark cherry blossom trees flowed between her eyebrows that were carefully outlined like ink paintings: "If your words today are listened to by someone with a heart, it will definitely set off a stormy wave, and if it is serious, it will be a bloody storm." ”

"This ...... Will the words of the slave maid bring such serious consequences? The gold medal tassel worn on the waist of the palace skirt swayed in the wind, and the summer evening felt a pang in his heart when he heard the words, and his voice trembled slightly.

The light and shadow of the phoenix-tailed butterfly were clearly reflected in the clear ink eyes, and Nan Zuisheng stared at the flickering phosphorescent butterfly wings: "That's nature." The hearts of the people in this palace are the most unfathomable, who knows that there are no characters who sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, or cast nets to catch fish? It's just that they are all well disguised and hidden. ”

Her thick eyelashes drooped slightly, and she gracefully folded off a rich and enchanting red rose, and put it in front of her eyes to admire: "But when it comes to the battlefield without gunpowder, I am very curious about her methods." ”

The pretty and bright face was soaked in the shadow of the hazy cherry blossom trees, and the summer evening stared at the white marble masonry in the pavilion, and it was difficult to hide her anger and worry between her words: "That woman's means are nothing more than to sow discord and plant blame!" She is not a good person, please don't take it lightly, and be careful. ”

"You, I know you hate her so much, but no matter how much you hate her, you can't say it. It's almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and I'm sure she'll be there soon. The red rose petals came into view, and Nan Zuisheng plucked a thick and delicate rose petal and kneaded it on his fingertips carelessly.

Hearing this, Xia Wan bowed elegantly, and his expression and words were all downright and generous, and he advanced and retreated in a certain way: "The slave and maid obey the order, and the slave and maid will definitely keep their mouths shut from now on, so as not to cause trouble to the eldest lady." ”

The soft white light veil fluttered in the warm breeze, Nan Zuisheng lowered his eyes and straightened the crystal tassel that had slipped to his side, and his slender eyelashes trembled slightly: "Well, I believe in you." The palace is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, there are gentle and brave documents in the front, and smart and cautious in the summer evening, and it is a blessing from God to meet the two of you. ”

The magnolia flowers delicately embroidered with silk thread and silver thread are fresh and elegant, lifelike, and the summer evening suddenly turned red when she heard the words, and her bright and beautiful eyebrows showed an indescribable color of gratitude: "It is a blessing for a slave to meet the eldest lady." If it weren't for the protection of the eldest lady, the slave and maid would have been expelled from the palace now, how could they stand in the palace and continue to serve the eldest lady? The eldest lady is grateful for the kindness of the slave and the maid, and only by swearing allegiance can she repay the kindness of Miss Nan for her protection and life. ”

"I don't need your sworn allegiance, as long as you can continue to serve in the palace peacefully, and live a good life when you are old enough to leave the palace, this is the best reward for me." The rich and enchanting red roses and the jade face of the southern drunken fairy complement each other, like a scorching firework.

The thrilling beauty of the classical beauty came into view, and Xia Wan blinked her watery and hazy eyes, and her voice was soft: "Slave maid...... The slave and maid knew, and the slave and maid thanked the eldest lady. ”

"Okay, why don't you quickly wipe away your tears, if others see your appearance, they will definitely think that I am an extremely vicious master." The clear ink eyes reflected the hazy appearance of tears in the summer evening, Nan Zuisheng shook his head helplessly when he saw the situation, and said slowly and comfortably in a gentle voice.

The light purple palace skirt embroidered with fresh and elegant magnolia flowers flowed with a lustrous glow, and the summer evening raised her sleeves to wipe away the salty tears, and said slowly and loudly: "The slave knows that the slave will wipe away the tears, and will never let others find anything unusual." Miss, rest assured, the slave will not let the lady fall into a dangerous situation, from now on, the slave will do everything to protect you, and will never let you be hurt in the slightest. ”

"You, ......" Xiu's narrow and slender jade fingers gently landed on Xia Wan's slender wrist, Nan Zui Sheng sighed helplessly, and elegantly arranged the tear-stained sleeves of Xia Wan.

The golden silk skirt embroidered with peacock dark patterns swells to the ground, and the golden crown of peacocks inlaid with precious stones is soaked in the warm sun, flowing with dazzling and dazzling floating shadows. A tassel embellished with gold and jade stones drapes elegantly over the ornate skirt, while the intricately carved finch feather gemstones sparkle and are extraordinary.

The graceful and elegant royal demeanor was in full view, Nan Zuisheng raised his eyes and looked at the pavilion outside the ring, the source of the fragrant fragrance, and sure enough, he saw a woman in gold and jade silk and gorgeous clothes surrounded by many maids.

The lotus step moves lightly, the waist is graceful, the skirt is twisting, and the tassels are swaying.

It's really indescribable grace and luxury, and the demeanor is all right.

"Look, the Lord is coming." The wisps of Mo Yu's long hair lingered around the crook of his arm, and Nan Zuisheng lowered his eyes as if he was smiling and arranging the messy and lingering Mo Yu long hair that was stirred by the warm breeze, and his voice was as clear as gurgling water.

The hazy shadow of the cherry blossom tree flowed on the pretty and bright face of the summer evening, she bent her head gracefully, and while arranging the messy and flowing long hair of Mo Yu for Nan Zuisheng, she deliberately lowered her voice and whispered: "Don't worry, the eldest lady, the slave knows what to do, Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine is scheming and suspicious, and the slave can only relax if she shows contempt and disdain for you." In order for her to trust the slave more in the future, the slave and maid will be offended a lot later, and please forgive the eldest lady. ”

"Don't worry, I understand you." The long hair of the ink feather was quickly arranged gently and quickly by the summer evening with a jewel ivory comb, and Nan Zuisheng blinked his clear ink eyes with a shallow smile.

The fragrant and intoxicating fragrance of peony flowers flows in the warm summer breeze, and the luxurious woman of gold and jade silk gradually walks slowly from the winding water to the octagonal pavilion made of white marble.

After a gust of fragrant breeze blows, the beauty in Chinese clothes is already standing in front of Nan Zuisheng's eyes.

The dazzling peacock golden crown shone brightly, and the imperial concubine walked slowly to the octagonal pavilion surrounded by many maids, and her beautiful face was soaked in the flawless brilliance of the pearl: "The palace originally planned to come here early today to enjoy the scenery, but it didn't work out but others took the lead in ascending one step ahead. This sister looks young, but she is twenty-eight years old, and she doesn't know which famous family in China is the daughter of the young lady, looking at it like this, it seems that she has never seen it. ”

"Slaves and maids, see Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine." Xia Wan knelt on the ground elegantly, she lowered her eyes and stared at the dark shadow of the cherry blossom trees in the pavilion, and pretended to be sincerely frightened on her face.

The charming and soft voice flowed to his ears, and Nan Zuisheng was still lazily reclining in the pavilion, his clear ink eyes slowly swept over the beautiful imperial concubine with a smile, but he did not answer the question of the comer.

Sensing the girl's contempt and provocation for herself, the enchanting and thick long eyebrows depicted by the imperial concubine raised slightly, and then she looked sideways at the maid beside her, and slowly hooked her red lips with a shallow smile.

The lilac palace skirt that was also embroidered with petal magnolia flowers fluttered slightly in the warm breeze, and the first-class maid who served on the side of the imperial concubine saw the situation, and took a step forward arrogantly: "Presumptuous, what about His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine to ask you again?" You neither kneel down and salute, nor answer His Highness's questions, I don't know which famous family is the daughter of such a famous family, but you don't understand the rules so much! ”

"Rules? What are the rules, I don't know if you can teach me? The fairy jade face was soaked in the hazy shadow of the cherry blossom tree, and Nan Zui glanced at the waitress with a smile, and mocked softly.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the first-class maid raised her chin and arrogantly hooked the corners of her lips, and her words were extremely harsh and rude: "Since this young lady is so ignorant of the rules, then don't blame the slave for being ruthless." Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine has a noble status, and in accordance with the palace rules and etiquette, those who do not kowtow will be slapped ten times! ”

Before the words fell, she stepped forward quickly, raised her arms high and prepared to throw a few crisp slaps to Nan Zuisheng, so as to teach the other party a long lesson and frustrate the other party's disrespectful royal highness.

"You know, the most annoying thing in my life is the unleashed dog barking and barking, especially the dog barking and biting in front of my eyes, which is really disgusting." Nan Zuisheng quickly grasped the arm that the waitress was about to throw off, and she stood up gracefully, raising her eyes and staring at each other coldly.

The long hair of the ink feather on the soft white gauze skirt flowed with a little bit of clear light and broken shadows, Nan Zuisheng stared at the arrogant and domineering appearance of the maid, step by step, and forced the other party to retreat outside the pavilion with a domineering attitude: "Besides, you just said...... I don't know the rules? I don't know the rules, and it's not up to you to say it. What's more, I am a guest invited by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what should you be guilty of if a little waitress dares to be so rude to me? ”

"You, you are strong! It is clear that you disrespect His Royal Highness the Emperor and Concubine first, and the slave and maid are just abiding by the palace rules and punishing you slightly! The waitress's expression could not hide her panic, she forcibly held back the wrist that was tightly grasped by Nan Zuisheng until it appeared blue and white, and still screamed sharply.

The fairy and jade-colored face is still beautiful and fragrant, and Nan Zuisheng stared at the waitress with a smile when he heard the words, and said, "Palace rules? What palace rules stipulate that foreign dignitaries must bow to Her Royal Highness? If you can't say it, you are deliberately provoking disputes between the two countries and slapping our country in the face. ”

"You, you, you presumptuous!" When the waitress heard this, she instantly felt her heart beat wildly, but thinking of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine standing beside her, she clenched her thin white teeth, and stubbornly resisted the cold power that emanated from Nan Zuisheng's body, and refuted angrily with her neck.

Like an ink painting carefully outlined between the eyebrows flowing with beautiful color, Nan Zuisheng narrowed his clear ink eyes slightly, tightly grasped the maid's wrist and said in a cold voice: "You slave is so ignorant, Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine has not blamed me, how can it be your turn to be a little slave to intervene in the beak, what is even more odious is that you are so arrogant and want to beat me, with your identity actually dare to punish foreign VIPs, it is really bold!" ”

Before the words fell, Nan Zuisheng shook off the other party's arm fiercely, and looked down condescendingly at the arrogant maid who fell to the ground in embarrassment, revealing undisguised contempt in his clear eyes like water.

"You dare to treat the slave and maid like this, although the slave and maid are just a maid, but they are the maids who serve Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, what qualifications do you have to do it to me?!" The waitress was caught off guard and fell the white marble steps outside the pavilion, she forcibly resisted the stinging elbows and knees of the bump, and raised her eyes viciously to look at Nan Zuisheng, who was light and breezy.

The crystal tassel waist swayed elegantly on the soft gauze dress, Nan Zuisheng looked down at each other condescendingly, hooked his pale red lips and smiled contemptuously: "It's just a dog, it dares to bark at me like this, it's really insulting to the dignity of the royal family." ”

The slender eyelashes drooped slightly, and the face of the national color and heavenly fragrance was soaked in the golden warm sun, Nan Zuisheng looked down at the waitress with an angry appearance, and his words suddenly changed: "In addition, His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine has not yet blamed me, you are a slave and maid who dares to act so overstep and transgress the master, it is really an unforgivable sin!" ”

"You don't want to talk nonsense, it's obvious that you disrespect Your Highness first, and the slave is just punishing you slightly on behalf of the master!" Hearing this, the waitress's face became more and more hideous and distorted, and after she climbed up from the white marble steps in embarrassment, she refuted violently with dust and grass blades.

There were a little flashes of light flowing on his beautiful and stunning face, and after Nan Zuisheng pretended to sigh with regret, his words revealed undisguised criticism and ridicule: "Look at the way you look now, you really look like a vicious dog barking and biting." Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine is too soft-hearted, which is why she has connived at such an arrogant and domineering slave like you. ”

The sparkling ink eyes were as clear and ethereal as clear and ethereal as clear and clear water, Nan Zuisheng slowly approached the maid with leisurely steps, and she became more and more fairy and beautiful against the soft white light veil: "Well, since His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine can't manage such an arrogant and domineering evil slave as you, then I will teach you a good lesson, and it will save you from colliding with other nobles in the future, tarnishing the reputation of His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, and letting His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine in this palace see the jokes of His Royal Highness's lax rule." ”

"What do you want to do?!" Seeing the situation, the maid took two steps back in panic and asked in a fierce voice.

The lilac skirt embroidered with petal magnolia flowers scattered in the pavilion like blooming flowers, the summer evening who knelt on the ground and kowtowed to say goodbye was still silent when she saw the situation, and the imperial concubine who was watching the show in the Yuli Pavilion quietly hooked her red lips when she saw the situation, and her voice was gentle and soothing: "You get up first." ”

"The slave and maid have thanked Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine." Xia Wan heard the words and slowly got up, she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head, staring at the white marble masonry laid under her feet with a respectful and solemn expression.
