Chapter 448: A Contrary Fate
Pieces of red rose petals are scattered all over the place, the scenery on both sides of the white marble palace road is still familiar, clusters of fireworks are burning enchantingly and passionately, and the phoenix tail butterfly is like a dancing queen, contaminated with a sweet floral fragrance and flying away. Nan Zuisheng and Nan Fusheng walked all over the place, and slowly walked towards the palace of Her Royal Highness the Queen.
Two floor-to-ceiling glazed palace lamps stood quietly in front of the palace gate, and the purple-clothed maid who had been waiting for a long time saw the arrival of Nan Zuisheng and the two of them, bowed her knees with her eyebrows bowed, and then guided the two to the courtyard, shuttled through the outer hall to the inner hall.
I thought that Her Royal Highness the Queen's residence would be a magnificent appearance, but it was very fresh and elegant, there is a lotus pond carved out of the courtyard with ingenuity, and the pink and white lotus flowers bloom on the blue waves, although there are only a few plants from a distance, but they complement each other with the koi fish that swing their tails leisurely, and they also have some special interest.
Seeing the pool full of blue lotus leaves and shadowy pink and white lotus flowers, Nan Zuisheng hooked his lips and smiled lightly. She was not afraid to talk to Her Royal Highness the Queen of Sakura Country, nor was she afraid of anything on the side, but she was a little worried that Her Royal Highness would be difficult to get along with. Now she looked at the lotus pond in the courtyard, and she only felt an indescribable feeling of relaxation in her heart.
I didn't expect Her Royal Highness the Queen of the Sakura Kingdom to love the lotus as much as herself, the lotus is not a vine, not a demonic elegant flower, people who can like the lotus must be detached, even if they can't reach the same dust as the lotus, it is not far from the end of the day. While thinking like this, Nan Zuisheng leaned over slightly and entered the inner hall from under the gorgeous beaded curtain.
Just as Nan Fusheng also wanted to go in with Nan Zuisheng, the purple-clothed maid who was in charge of guidance gracefully and politely bowed her knees and reminded softly: "The foreign man stops. β
This is just four words, so that Nan Fusheng had to stop, he naturally knows the cumbersome etiquette in the royal family of the Sakura Kingdom, and he does not intend to trespass these strict and rigid etiquette and cause some unnecessary trouble for himself, and the Royal Highness of the Queen is not a sinister and cruel person, Nan Fusheng thought for a moment and then went in alone by Nan Zuisheng, and he went down to the side hall under the guidance of the purple-clothed maid.
The best melon and fruit snacks and tea were placed on the golden silk nanmu low table, and the purple-clothed maid bowed down after a few weeks of courtesy to entertain Nan Fusheng. Because Nan Fusheng didn't like the women next to him to serve closely, he politely dismissed the remaining two purple-clothed maids in the side hall, and looked for a chaise longue by the window to close his eyes and rest.
At the same time, Nan Zuisheng walked calmly across the threshold of the outer and inner halls, and the flawless beaded curtain reflected the radiant glow above her head. Looking at the beauty of the country who seemed to be bathed in the pearl curtain from the outer hall and slowly walked in front of her, and the faint light of Her Royal Highness the Queen sitting on the phoenix seat in the inner hall, it could be seen that she was very satisfied with Nan Zuisheng's demeanor and temperament.
But what's the use of being satisfied? This fairy-colored girl can't even keep her deep child, and she can't cling to it.
Nan Zuisheng did not squint when he walked all the way, just looked at the surrounding environment from the corner of his eye, although she was always innocent and romantic on weekdays, but the good etiquette and upbringing she received since childhood will not be wiped out because of this, but will be more and more deeply engraved in Nan Zuisheng's blood and bones with the passage of time.
Seeing that Nan Zuisheng did not squint, his steps were steady, and his eyes were calm and elegant, the purple-clothed maid who served beside Her Royal Highness the Queen secretly admired a few words in her heart. You must know that although Her Royal Highness the Queen has a graceful and luxurious temperament, gentle and elegant, it will bring people a lot of oppression and a sense of distance, which is the noble majesty that has been slowly sharpened by those who have been in the upper position for a long time.
Her Royal Highness the Queen has also summoned many famous and noble women, but no matter how noble and well-educated the famous and well-educated noble women are, they will still be nervous when they meet Her Royal Highness, and their steps are vain or slightly hurried, and their eyes are flickering or uncertain.
But now looking at this Miss Nanda, her gaze has always stayed steadily on a fixed point in the void air, because it is a great disrespect to look directly at the king and the queen in the royal chamber of the Sakura Kingdom, so the concubines and maids in the palace have all received strict etiquette teaching, and after many hours of painful tempering, they can learn to stay at the unreachable but close to the void focus.
On the other hand, this Miss Nanda from Xuanguo, as far as the purple-clothed maid knows, this Miss Nanda has never been taught the etiquette in the palace.
Of course, they didn't dare to send someone to teach Miss Nanda at will, after all, Nan Zuisheng is the eldest lady in the Xuan Kingdom, not to mention the supreme status, the protection around her is all from an extraordinary family, unless they have eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and dare to teach this Miss Nanda the royal etiquette of the Sakura Kingdom.
Moreover, the distinguished guests from Xuanguo were not restricted by the etiquette of the royal family of the Sakura Kingdom, and when Yinan was drunk and was born to meet Her Royal Highness the Empress of the Sakura Kingdom, he could look directly without saluting. But now she didn't do that, but put her posture in the humility and respect of the juniors when they met the elders, without revealing the slightest arrogance and arrogance, which is already very valuable.
When he reached the three meters away from Her Royal Highness the Queen, Nan Zuisheng paused, and then bowed slightly, showing his respect for his elders: "Drunken Sheng greets Her Royal Highness the Queen." She deliberately polished her voice, and her originally clear and gentle voice was slightly lowered, a little less ethereal, but a little more soft and elegant.
Her Royal Highness the Queen lowered her eyes and stared at Nan Zuisheng's impeccable manners, and the admiration that had been suppressed in her heart could no longer be suppressed: "What a rare good boy, get up quickly, sit here." As she spoke, she patted the seat beside her with a gentle smile, and the closest position to the phoenix seat made Nan Zuisheng startled.
As far as she knew, the closest position to the queen in the royal harem of Sakura was reserved for Her Royal Highness the future crown princess. Nan Zuisheng thought about it so far, and felt more and more hesitant, but there was no show on his face.
For the undisguised preference and favor of Her Royal Highness the Queen, Nan Zuisheng knew that he had to politely decline, although he was the eldest lady of Xuanguo, but in the royal family of the Sakura Kingdom, she could be said to have nothing except Nan Fusheng, even if the person who came was a distinguished guest, but she could not anger the noble Royal Highness the Queen at will.
"Thank you for your Royal Highness's love, it's good to stand drunk, lest the weather be too hot, and the soft bench will be stained with sweat and stain the objects in the palace." Nan Zuisheng said slowly in a steady tone, and at the same time raised his eyes and stared at Her Royal Highness the Queen sincerely and clearly, so as not to make the other party mistakenly think that he was deliberately brushing the dignity of the royal family, after all, she couldn't afford such a notoriety.
Her Royal Highness frowned slightly when she heard this, and then understood Nan Zuisheng's concerns. After she hooked her lips and chuckled, she only felt that she really liked the little guy in front of her more and more, if she was a famous lady in the Sakura country, in the face of her undisguised love, I am afraid that she would have knelt down in fear to thank her, or sat beside her with joy, but only this Miss Nanda was different.
While politely refusing, he told the reason in a naΓ―ve and slightly playful tone, and the reason was very reasonable, but it only hurt Nan Zuisheng's demeanor a little. It's just that since the Miss Nanda in front of her dares to say this, it proves that the other party is not a person who pays attention to the slightest face, and this open-minded and frank bearing can be said to impress Her Royal Highness the Queen.
The beautiful eyes stained with pale golden pearlescent eyeshadow bent slightly, and Her Royal Highness the Queen flicked the silk wide sleeves, and the elegance and majesty flowed with indescribable grace and luxury: "You little girl, your little head turns very fast, but in a few seconds, the warm invitation of the palace is pushed away, but the palace can't find anything, but it is really annoying and funny." β
Her Royal Highness also spoke frankly and calmly, without the slightest hint of dark calculations or hypocritical masquerades. Seeing Her Royal Highness the Empress of Sakura Country acting so calmly and straightforwardly, Nan Zuisheng only felt that a kind of cordiality was born from the depths of his heart, and this kind of cordiality that spread quietly instantly broke the transparent barrier between the two.
"Your Highness, don't make fun of drunken people, what drunken people just said is the truth, if you really dirty the objects in the palace, I'm afraid that others will laugh at you in your heart, so it's better for me to stand." The carefully pulled up bun is no longer as sticky and dull as in the past, and Nan Zuisheng naturally stands calmly in the hall, with a soft gauze shawl in the crook of his soft curved arms.
Her Royal Highness didn't say anything more when she heard this, but glanced sideways at the purple-clothed maid beside her, and after the purple-clothed maid tapped her chin knowingly, she stepped into the gilded jade steps, gently took off the soft gauze shawl that Nan Zuisheng held in the crook of her arm, and retook the seat and placed it under the sixth-level gilded jade steps.
Nan Zuisheng looked at the distance between the seat and Her Royal Highness the Empress, and tapped his chin with satisfaction. Being too close can make people feel nervous, so keeping a distance of three meters is just right, neither too compact nor too empty, this purple-clothed maid is really a wonderful person with a delicate mind, and there is a tacit understanding with Her Royal Highness the Queen.
Her Royal Highness the Queen stretched out her hand and picked up a cup of jasmine tea, the rich fragrance of jasmine soaked in the air, blending with her words, revealing an indescribable relaxation: "Miss Nanda doesn't need to be too nervous, I'm just lonely alone, plus I learned that you are going back to China, so I can't help but invite you over, and please don't be surprised." β
Between the words, Her Royal Highness the Queen even dismissed the self-title of 'Bengong', which is enough to show her frankness and calmness. It stands to reason that the more people who are in high positions, the more they can't let go of the noble and majestic that belongs to the superiors, but Her Royal Highness the Queen of the Sakura Kingdom can afford to put it down, and when she puts up her demeanor, she will naturally have thousands of manners, but when she puts down her demeanor, she will not let people look down on her.
Because that grace and elegance is the innate noble temperament of Her Royal Highness the Queen, and it will not be wiped out because of a self-proclaim, at this point, it is the same as the noble elegance of Nan Zuisheng. Both of them are carefully maintained eldest ladies in the family, with the same supreme dignity and the same open-mindedness.
The only difference is the opposite fate between the two.
