Chapter 243: You Are More Beautiful Than This Starry Sky
The night is hazy, the moon is shallow, and the stars are bright and dark.
The ethereal clouds fluttered with the evening breeze, a few wisps of cold moonlight loomed through the half-rolled curtains, and the rich fragrance of red roses blooming to the extreme flowed in the palace, and the smell was intoxicating.
The palace road paved with white marble is messy with patches of residual red, and the sound of insects chirping one after another blends with the shadows of the falling trees, like the shadows of the algae and the fish flowing on the jade steps.
The delicate and gorgeous silk dress hung down the skirt depicting cherry blossoms, Nan Zuisheng slowly got up with the support of the maid, and looked at Xu Shen's bright and deep starry eyes with clear ink eyes: "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't make fun of me, it's getting late, let's go back to the palace early." To tell you the truth, I have drunk countless cups of hibiscus dew prepared for me by the waitress in order to satisfy my hunger, and now my stomach is empty, and the taste is really not pleasant. ”
"You are already injured now, you really shouldn't overwork, it's better to go back to the palace to eat and rest early." The girl's clear ink eyes were like clear water, Xu Shen hooked her pale red lips, and smiled slightly.
The crystal tassel waist of the eighteenth prince style of the palace fell elegantly, and Nan Zuisheng stepped on the silver-gray carpet with brocade moire, and his chin tapped: "That's right, I've been thinking about dinner for so long, but I'm still hungry." As for the waitress...... It seems that tomorrow I will personally go to the palace of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine. ”
"How do you know that Her Royal Highness took the maid?" The glittering Tenglong Liuyun costume suddenly froze at the corner of the golden-bottomed robe, and Xu Shen frowned in confusion when he heard this, looking at the slim girl.
The golden peacock with the wrong color of gold flowed, and Nan Zuisheng lowered his eyes and looked at it casually for a moment, and his eyes gradually froze on the gem-inlaid feather: "There are countless concubines, princesses, and princes in this palace. But if you dare to take away, or coerce and coerce the people who serve His Royal Highness the Prince, such an arrogant and wanton spirit is counted and counted, and there is only one person, His Royal Highness. ”
"Well, this is true, His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine relies on the favor of her father, and she is indeed reckless in this palace." Xu Shenxing's eyes were slightly dark, and his body revealed a subtle bloodthirsty killing intent with a light tap of his chin.
Wisps of cold and cold killing intent flowed in the palace, Nan Zuisheng raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Shen quietly, and his words were meaningful: "Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and the days to come are still long, do you know that her imperial concubine must be the final winner?" ”
The gorgeous face was slightly impregnated with the brilliance of the crystal lamp, and when his eyes flowed, Xu Shen hooked his thin lips and smiled lightly, and his voice was soft and elegant: "You are right, I think things are too complicated, but I am tightly imprisoned in a small space." Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, according to the arrogant and domineering style of His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, in the long run, it will definitely ......"
At this point, he raised his eyes and looked at the three guards who were dragged out of the hall with a smile, only to feel that his heart, which had been depressed for a long time, suddenly opened up.
"Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. Miss Nanda's teachings are deeply remembered by Xu Shen. "The prince's costume embroidered with gold thread is extremely graceful and luxurious, and Xu Shen's long jade body stands next to the carved window lattice, which is indescribably noble and gentle.
The pale pink silk skirt swayed like flowing water, and Nan Zuisheng walked leisurely past the golden peacock with a wrong color of gold, and said slowly in a very soft voice: "Don't talk about this, I'm really hungry now, I really want to have dinner, if I don't eat something to pad my stomach, I'm afraid I'm really going to faint from hunger." ”
The faint blue night flowers are soaked in the classical costumes embroidered with gold thread, and the faint golden glow flows on Xu Shen's gorgeous face, reflecting him as flawless as a god: "I'm sorry, it was Xu Shen's negligence." However, I have already ordered someone to prepare a table of light dinner, and since Miss Nanda's injury has not yet healed, in order to prevent the injury from becoming inflamed and infected again, I ordered someone to remove the squirrel fish, spicy seafood and other fishy and spicy things, and I hope that Miss Nanda will not be angry. ”
"Thank you for the kindness of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how can I be the kind of person who doesn't know what to do." Nan Zuisheng paused slightly, raised his eyes and looked at the deep and beautiful night sky with a daze.
The reflection of the uncertain stars in her clear ink eyes, she gazed at the flowing galaxy in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "It's so beautiful." ”
"It's beautiful, but ...... "You're more beautiful than the starry sky." Xu Shen quietly stared at the girl who came into view, and he carefully put out a soft voice, for fear of frightening Nan Zuisheng's gorgeous and delicate figure.
The skirt depicting cherry blossoms swells on the white marble masonry, and the pearls that dot the cherry blossoms flow with a flawless glow. The blooming cherry blossoms flutter on the pale pink silk, and the gorgeous and delicate figure of the girl is like a fairy in the sky.
The long ink-colored hair was messy and lingering by the cool evening breeze, and a few strands of long hair softly wrapped around Nan Zuisheng's arms, like the light and fluttering shawl of a classical beauty. Half of the picturesque eyebrows are soaked in the faint blue of the night, like the delicate face of the pear blossoms flowing in the night.
It is like a faint epiphany that blooms slowly, but it has a peerless elegance that never withers.
The shallow moonlight slowly flowed in Nan Zuisheng's delicate palm, she lowered her eyes and quietly stared at the illusory moonlight in her hand, and a gentle but bitter smile soaked in her lips: "Since I was wounded by a gunshot, I no longer have the extra heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery around me. Even I don't know how long it has been since I could enjoy the warm sun during the day, the starry sky at night, the soft white clouds, the blue sunny sky, the rippling lotus ponds, the weeping willows, and the bustling streets. ”
Qingling's soft voice flowed to his ears with the evening breeze, Xu Shen was silent for a long time when he heard the words, and the scene depicted by Nan Zuishsheng's words involuntarily appeared in his mind: "In the past, when I came to visit, the lotus carp pond in the Lotus Carp Pavilion did have a good scenery of sparkling waves, green leaves connecting to the sky, and koi swimming shuttles. ”
"Of course, otherwise how could it be called Lotus Carp Xuan?" Nan Zuisheng hooked his pale red lips, and his clear ink eyes reflected the clear light and broken shadows of the stars.
The dragon and clouds embroidered with gold thread were a little gentle under the night, Xu Shen raised his eyes and stared at the gorgeous and delicate figure of Nan Zuisheng, and his voice was low and charming: "Lotus Carp Xuan is indeed a good place with picturesque scenery, but compared with the Lotus Carp Pond in Xuan Country, it is not bad." If Miss Nanda is feeling bored, Xu Shen will take you to the cherry blossom lake outside the palace tomorrow to enjoy it. ”
"Cherry Blossom Lake ......" The clear and gentle voice was faintly soaked in the evening breeze, and Nan Zuisheng slowly retracted the narrow and slender jade fingers, and the cold moonlight as water passed between the illusory and ethereal fingers.
"That's right, there is a magnificent scene outside the palace, which originated from the cherry blossom forest planted by the people themselves during the ancestral period, which means good wishes for the prosperity of the country." The low-magnetic voice slowly soaked in the evening breeze, Xu Shenshu stretched his gorgeous eyebrows, and explained the source of the cherry blossom lake with a shallow smile.
The cherry blossoms dotted with pearls bloomed beautifully on the skirt, Nan Zuisheng's elegant demeanor gently brushed away the long hair of the ink feather on the messy neck, and Xu Shen's graceful and luxurious figure was clearly reflected in the clear ink eyes: "That's why His Royal Highness the Prince's country is named 'Sakura' country, right?" I have to say that this is really a dreamy and beautiful name, I believe that Sakura Country carries such a good wish of the people, and it will be fulfilled one day in the future, the country is prosperous, and the people are prosperous and strong, just like cherry blossoms. ”
"I hope so, Xu Shen has thanked Miss Nanda for her blessings." The slender and jade figure was extremely elegant and slowly bent down, Xu Shenxing's eyes were slightly bent, and there was a bit of pleasant emotion flowing between his words.
The long wisps of inky hair were messy and lingering in the evening breeze, Nan Zuisheng raised his eyes and stared at the galaxy flowing in the sky, and his voice was soft: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is modest, although the Xuan Kingdom is not ruled by imperial power, but I often hear others mention the peace and prosperity of the Sakura Kingdom, which must be condensed with the countless brains of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
The extremely beautiful face was impregnated with indescribable pride and pride, Xu Shen looked at the night sky with deep eyes, and quietly avoided the topic of talking about the country: "After dealing with the matter of that maid tomorrow, I will take you to the cherry blossom lake outside the palace, where there is no cumbersome and cold etiquette rules in the palace, there is no cruel heart that is deceitful, and there is no golden but cold and dead palace." ”
At this point, there were a few wisps of tenderness in his eyes, and the deep and mysterious blue-purple of the night sky was reflected in his starry eyes: "There are only gorgeous cherry blossoms, clear lakes, green meadows with wild flowers, fluttering butterflies, and countless cute little animals." ”
"It really sounds like a dreamlike beauty...... Nan Zuisheng blinked his beautiful eyes lightly when he heard this, and the hazy night and the moonlight blended and intertwined, like the Milky Way pouring above the nine skies.
The beautiful long eyelashes like the wings of a phoenix butterfly fluttered gently, and she slowly lowered her eyelashes, letting the dark silhouette dip in the eyelids, and the soft light and shadow were confusing: "I have heard the poetry of the cherry blossom lake in the cherry blossom country for a long time, and it is like a fairyland." When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, they fill the sky like smoke and glow. Unfortunately, the cherry blossom season has long passed, and even if tomorrow goes, all you can see is some green leaves and white clouds. ”
"Sorry...... It's me who can't think about it anymore. Xu Shen secretly sighed in his heart. It's the end of June, and the beginning of July, and the cherry blossoms in full bloom have already withered and pulled out their branches and leaves, and they are solid, so how can we talk about the magnificent and dreamy cherry blossom lake? In the end, he was not thoughtful, but he made the beauty sad.
Nan Zuisheng turned sideways to look at Xu Shen's gorgeous and noble face, his voice was as clear and empty as the guqin stream, tactful and melodious: "No need to apologize, it's just that I'm in a bad mood, although the palace of the Sakura Kingdom is magnificent, brocade clothes and jade food, but the etiquette is strict, and even people's hearts are cold." ”
The glittering golden silk costume was graceful and luxurious, Xu Shen raised his eyes and stared at Nan Zuisheng's picturesque side face, his eyes were slightly gloomy: "You are right, although the palace is magnificent, brocade clothes and jade food, but everywhere is cold. Some only scheming and calculating, tilting against each other, and countless waves and clouds, fighting openly and secretly. ”
"Yes, even though the palace is gorgeous and shining, it is really chilling that I have witnessed such a cruel and cold scheming method after I have only been here for one night." The crystal tassel waist pendant hung quietly on the dress, and Nan Zuisheng looked at the magnificent palace beyond Xu Shen's figure, only to feel that there was a crisis hidden everywhere in the splendid palace.
“…… Makes you frightened. Xu Shen didn't know what to say when he heard this, he thought about all kinds of gentle and gorgeous words, but it was difficult to express his apologies in any sentence.
The gorgeous and delicate silk shoes stepped on the palace road paved with white marble, Nan Zuisheng stared at Xu Shen's apologetic expression, suddenly remembered something, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally said softly and slowly: "I wasn't frightened, I just felt --- cold." This is still the case in the palace, let alone the scheming between the powerful ministers and the government? Senior Xu, if you really want the Sakura Kingdom to prosper, please don't forget the original intention of blessing the people. ”
Her clear ink eyes were slightly impregnated with a few red roses blooming, and she stared at the gorgeous young man, and her tone was soft and ethereal: "Water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, although my words are very unpleasant, but I think it is necessary to remind you, His Majesty the Emperor...... Maybe it's not the loving father who loved you in the first place. ”
Loving Father.
What a polite and euphemistic description.
The bright and deep starry eyes suddenly eclipsed, Xu Shen lowered his eyes and looked at the red roses in full bloom on both sides of the palace road, and his tone flowed with the sadness and the rich fragrance of roses: "I know, thank you for being honest." These words have been mentioned many times by my loyal ministers, but I have never been willing to face them. Parental affection, blood is thicker than water, where can it be easily cut in two? It's just that they see through each other and don't say anything, wearing a mask of warmth and affection, pretending to be filial piety to their father and son. ”
"It's good that you understand, but no matter what, Her Royal Highness still loves your mother deeply, no matter if you commit heinous crimes or have mediocre qualifications, she will not abandon you and treat you coldly." Recalling Her Royal Highness the Queen of the Sakura Kingdom who once appeared on the TV screen, Nan Zuisheng's gaze couldn't help but soften a little.
Graceful and luxurious, the country is fragrant.
These eight words seem to have been born for Her Royal Highness the Queen.
If the beauty of Nan Zuisheng is an ethereal and dusty, but beautiful and enchanting complex beauty, then Her Royal Highness the Queen of Sakura Country is graceful and luxurious, elegant and dignified. Her whole person is like a peony flower with a national color and fragrance, and her eyes reveal the noble elegance of blooming to the extreme.
All of them show the noble and natural demeanor of the royal family.
Recalling the gentle care of Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother, graceful and dignified, Xu Shen's originally eclipsed star eyes were instantly lit up, shining like stars in the night: "Well, the Queen Mother has always loved me very much, neither too spoiled, nor too harsh, in my heart the Queen Mother is the most beautiful woman in the world." It's a pity that she is still too gentle and kind, which made the woman of the imperial concubine take advantage of the loophole, and the queen mother suffered a lot of losses, both openly and secretly. ”
"Sure enough." Nan Drunken gave birth to a light jaw, and the blue and misty night was like clouds and smoke around her, revealing the dust and elegance of Qiong pressing begonias, frost branches and snow, which was really beautiful and thrilling.
As his eyes wandered, clusters of red roses in full bloom came into view, and the evening breeze blew softly, blowing red all over the place: "I knew that Her Royal Highness the Empress was a gentle and kind woman, otherwise I would not have connived at Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine to make waves in the inner palace for so long." ”
"Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine...... Heh, she is also worthy? Xu Shen frowned slightly, and his bright starry eyes seemed to be brewing dark and deep stormy waves, and his face looked cold as frost.
A shallow and soft sigh disappeared with the wind, and the blue night was slightly cold flowing on the gorgeous dress, Nan Zuisheng looked sideways at Xu Shen, whose face was like frost, and slowly analyzed the unfathomable enemy of the imperial concubine in a gentle tone: "She is naturally unworthy, but after all, her identity and rank are the imperial concubine personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, no matter how angry and hateful His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is, he can only slowly figure it out." A ruthless but well-favored woman like Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine is the most difficult to deal with. ”
"She is not only difficult to deal with, because it is inconvenient for me to interfere in the affairs of the inner palace, she relies on her father's favor to become more and more arrogant and wanton, and sometimes she even embarrass my mother in public!" The gorgeous eyebrows were soaked in the frost and snow of the forest, Xu Shen suppressed the anger in his heart, and no longer returned to the gentle elegance of the past, and his smile was kind.
"Is it just a public embarrassment?" The girl's soft voice was almost inaudible, hidden on both sides of the palace road paved with white marble, and the sound of insects in the roses in full swing came and went.
Nan Zuisheng walked gracefully in front of a cluster of red roses, bent down and bowed his head, and carefully picked the next blooming beautiful and enchanting red rose with his eyes: "Before I came, His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine caught a lot of small mistakes about you through those despicable and shameless means, so that His Majesty the Emperor was furious and full of anger every time he came to the palace of His Royal Highness the Empress. ”
As soon as I mentioned that woman, I ......, "I want to kill her!" Xu Shen hid the last sentence in his heart, and the cold glow of the cold was fleeting in his bright starry eyes.
"Xu Shen, have you ever taken your queen mother out of the palace to enjoy the innocent and prosperous scenery outside the palace?" Nan Zuisheng didn't seem to notice the cold killing intent at the end of Xu Shenyan, she lowered her eyes and stared at the enchanting and gorgeous red roses in her hand, and her lips were soaked with a light and warm smile.
"I don't hide it, I haven't ...... There were. Xu Shen lowered his eyes apologetically, and the beautiful shadow of the red rose was reflected in his starry eyes, like a burning firework.
