Chapter Twenty-Six: A Pool of Late Autumn Dust

The sky was dawn, the autumn breeze was cool, and Su Liruo leaned on the head of the bed and slept all night. The sound of the maidservant outside the door asking for peace woke her up, and she gently lifted the red hijab and picked up the hairpin that had slipped on the ground in a panic. Thinking about it, it was all night? Wondering if you slept so deeply? Raising her eyes, she saw that the room was quiet and elegant, and her heart was filled with a hint of joy, it seemed that this was a good place to live.

Just as Su Liruo was looking at the elegant layout in the room, a little maid pushed the door in and saluted: "Beauty, the slave is waiting for you to change your clothes and makeup!" After that, she looked up, and the stunning face in front of her instantly stunned her, and it took a while to come back to her senses, and she lowered her head in a panic, not daring to look or speak. remembered what the manager said: "Cui'er, you are so good to take care of the master of Ningyan Pavilion, after all, people are trekking through mountains and rivers, and they have come to the Yi Wangfu after a lot of hardships, and the prince does not care about it, it is pitiful to think about it!" She really couldn't figure out that this beautiful person who came out of the picturesque picture was actually snubbed by the prince. I heard that the master of Chasing Cloud Tower is also as beautiful as a flower, and the prince is disdainful, alas! I don't know what the prince thinks? The little maid secretly regretted in her heart.

Su Liruo retracted her gaze and looked around the room, bowing slightly.

took off the big red wedding dress, took off the crown of beads on her head, and the little maidservant changed into light pink clothes for her, and combed her hair and makeup. After picking it up, the little maid was retreating, and Su Liruo stopped her: "Wait... What is your name? ”

The little maid blessed her body and said softly: "Back to the beauty, the slave is called Cui'er!" ”

Su Liruo said slightly: "Cui'er, did you arrange to take care of me?" ”

"Yes, in the future, Cui'er will be responsible for the diet and daily life of the beauty." Her light smile and whispering made Cui'er stunned, and she couldn't help but say: "The slave has never seen such a handsome person as a beauty." After saying that, Fang Jue lost his temper and hurriedly leaned over, "The beauty forgives the sin, the slave should die!" ”

Su Liruo was stunned, she didn't want her to be so scared, she stretched out her hand to support her, and smiled indifferently: "Cui'er don't have to panic, get up and speak!" ”

"Xie Meiren." Cui'er saw that she was gentle and charitable, and she liked it even more, and when she heard Zhu Ju say, she went to wait for the concubine of Chasing Yunlou, but she was kicked out. It seems that she is very lucky, the beauty in front of her is gentle and approachable.

Su Liruo saw that Cui'er was sensitive and well-behaved, and she had a good impression, she asked Cui'er where Xiao Wei lived now, it turned out that since the arrival of the welcoming team in the building yesterday, she has never seen Xiao Wei since she put on a red hijab.

Cui'er informed her that Xiao Wei was now being led by Yan Niang to teach her the etiquette and rules of the palace, and when Xiao Wei was familiar with the rules of the palace, she would return to her side to wait. Yan Niang is the palace to train the maid slave how to follow the rules and wait for the master, Yan Niang is strict and rigid, the slightest mistake, she will be severely punished, her status is second only to the palace in charge, but in charge of him is extremely kind-hearted, so people like him very much.

Su Liruo listened to Cui'er's frank confession, and probably had an understanding of the palace, but she didn't dare to inquire about the person of the king of Yi, although she was curious and even wondered, why did he marry a concubine with a grand ceremony? So where did he put the side concubine's face? If you value concubines so much, why haven't they appeared for a long time? If he didn't come, this was certainly something that Su Liruo couldn't ask for, but it still made her panic, I don't know why he did the opposite? What kind of person is this king of Yi?

Su Liruo was very incomprehensible and worried!

After a few days of such anxiety, Cui'er finally led Xiao Wei here.

Seeing Su Liruo, Xiao Wei's eyes moistened, and he threw himself into her arms: "Sister Ruo, I can see you!" ”

Cui'er was surprised, a personal maid was worthy of the master's sister? Although she was surprised and suspicious, she still sensibly took the door and quietly withdrew, giving her master and servant a convenient conversation.

Su Liruo stroked Xiao Wei's back: "Okay, it's okay!" Let me see if you're suffering? ”

Xiao Wei opened Su Liruo lightly, and broke into a smile: "Well, if my sister is relieved, Xiao Wei eats and sleeps well, and she doesn't suffer, but that Yanniang is a little harsh, but she doesn't embarrass me." The rules of the palace are all similar, the only one clearly stipulates that you are not allowed to trespass into the East Pavilion without permission, I heard that it is the residence of the king of Yi, and those who violate it can be beheaded..."

When Su Li heard this, he was shocked: Could it be that this person is cruel and tyrannical in nature, otherwise how could he make this regulation?

Xiao Wei pulled Su Liruo to sit down and continued: "Listen to the whispers of the girls, the side concubine of Chasing Cloud Tower is the daughter of the important minister of the Moon Kingdom, and the king of Yi never worshipped with her that night, which made her cry all night, and poured all her anger on the maid who waited for her in the morning..."

"What?" Su Liruo was even more shocked: "She is both a concubine and the daughter of a captain, so she should be married in a matter of reason, how can she be so hasty?" Wouldn't that humiliate her identity? No wonder she wept all night and gave her anger to others. She sighed secretly in her heart: It seems that this king of Yi is not only cruel but also ruthless, how can he trample on the dignity of a woman so casually? Embarrass her?

"Sister Ruo, how do you speak for her?" Xiao Wei curled her lips in displeasure: "My sister is a concubine, she is a concubine, and the prince just sharpens her arrogance like this, so as not to bully my sister in the future." ”

"Your mouth is just unforgiving." Su Liruo poked her lightly with her fingertips in disgust: "It's just that this king of Yi disdains her so much, why did he make her a concubine?" ”

"If my sister doesn't know!" Xiao Wei glanced at the door and said in a low voice: "I heard that the prince is not close to women, and he has a habit of breaking sleeves, and that side concubine may be used by him to avoid suspicion and block arrows." ”

"Ahh Broken sleeve..."Su Liruo was stunned, her eyes were stunned, and she muttered to herself for a while: "It's okay like this!" That's good! ”

"What is it all about?" Xiao Wei was so anxious that she stomped her feet: "Is my sister going to be trapped here for the rest of her life?" ”

Su Liruo's suppressed worries for many days were swept away, and she smiled lightly: "If the king of Yi is not close to women, he will naturally not come to disturb him, so he will be fine!" She got up and let out a long breath. It's not a long-term solution, but at least it's safe and leisurely for now. ”

"But..."Of course, Xiao Wei understands what Su Liruo is happy about, think about it, if it weren't for the fact that the prince is not close to women, with Su Liruo's temperament, I don't know how much Lou Zi has been stabbed now?

Su Liruo lived in Ningyan Pavilion for a month, and the king of Yi never showed up, and seemed to have forgotten her, maybe he really forgot that there was a concubine in the palace, a beauty from a foreign country.

This morning, Su Liruo waited for Xiao Wei to wash her makeup, and then stepped out of the Ningyan Pavilion, this is the first time she entered the palace and stepped out of the pavilion door. Just because there is a pavilion in front of the pavilion, there is a pool of water next to the pavilion, Su Liruo often stands in front of the window, staring at a pool of autumn water with his eyes, and seems to be infinitely eager to go to the edge of the pool.

This morning, under the repeated persuasion of Xiao Wei and Cui'er, she finally stepped out of the pavilion door and strolled by the pond, the sparkling microwave reflected a light green dress, a delicate and delicate figure, adding a touch of charm to the hesitant late autumn.

When she was tired, she sat on the bench in the pavilion to rest, glancing at the autumn leaves falling by the pool, and her heart was filled with melancholy for no reason.

The autumn breeze is blowing, caressing her clothes fluttering, with sorrow between her eyebrows, her eyes are quiet, her face is soft, her hair is plain and elegant, and she is ethereal and pure like a dust fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.

Jiang Xueke had this idea when she saw her.

Just as Su Liruo was immersed in confusion, Xiao Wei and Cui'er beside her startled her with a voice of greeting, and she suddenly looked back and saw Jiang Xueke, who was as beautiful as a flower. Xiao Wei reminded in a low voice that she was the side concubine of Chasing Cloud Tower, Su Liruo got up slowly, saluted and lightly opened her lips and said, "Sister!" ”

Jiang Xueke was secretly shocked in his heart, it turned out that this was the beauty offered by the Sun Kingdom? Elegant, unstained with dust, pure as water, delicate and picturesque, softened the eyes of others, and gave birth to pity for no reason.

It's a pity that such a rare and timeless scenery in the world was disdained and abandoned in a deserted pavilion. Jiang Xueke thought indignantly, and at the same time, a trace of inexplicable jealousy rose in his heart.

"My sister finally got to the attic today, and it was a pity that my sister had to visit me several times." Jiang Xueke moved the lotus lightly and stepped into the pavilion.

"My sister is loved, and my sister is ashamed! I didn't visit my sister, and my sister was rude. Su Liruo's eyes were soft and she looked at the pretty person in front of her, she heard Cui'er mention that the king of Yi had given an order not to allow contact between concubines and concubines! She was puzzled, but she seemed to understand that he was afraid that his concubines would have frequent contact and cause trouble. Probably only by isolating themselves in their respective pavilions can they avoid telling right and wrong.

Jiang Xueke looked at her wantonly, the more she looked at her, the heavier her heart became, a beauty sent from a foreign country, although she was shocked. But after all, there is a difference between the noble and the low, but Heng has the etiquette of marrying a concubine, I thought that Feng Xuanyu was attracted to her, and after she secretly sent someone to monitor, Feng Xuanyu also snubbed her. Then why did he treat an unfavored concubine with such solemn etiquette? Jiang Xueke pondered and meditated, and finally understood: Feng Xuanyu just didn't want her to dominate the palace, pull a cushion to weaken her arrogance, and insult her identity. In the past month, although she was sad and indignant, she thought that it was indeed she who had the audacity to blackmail him by means of favor. Thinking of this, she had to force her heart headache and swallow her anger.

"Sister doesn't need to take it to heart, since you and I are princesses and concubines, we should live in harmony and harmony, regardless of each other." Jiang Xueke unfolded a bright smile, stretched out her delicate jade hand, and gently held her slender and soft little hand: "My sister is hard to come out, go to my sister's pavilion to sit down today, you and my sister have a good talk!" After that, lead Su Li to leave.

Su Liruo was stunned, but she didn't move, so she smiled lightly: "My sister has a heart, but my sister has accidentally contracted the wind and cold in the past few days, and it is really not suitable to visit my sister." When I feel better, I will definitely go to say goodbye to my sister! As he spoke, he pulled out the hand he was holding, covered the corner of his lips and coughed lightly.

Jiang Xueke only felt that her palms were empty, her face was displeased, and her eyes were slightly gloomy: "Oh, so my sister should recuperate, and I won't be reluctant today." However, since my sister is in poor health, how can she welcome the cool breeze to the pool? If the illness worsens, will the body not be punished? ”

Su Liruo was stunned in her heart, but her face was still soft, and she said softly: "What my sister said is very true, my sister is willful." ”

Jiang Xueke took a deep look: "My sister has a good rest, my sister won't bother today, I will wait for my sister to come to the pavilion in the future, and then talk about it." Don't forget, sister! "Turn around and flutter away. Her personal maidservant Xiangmei, and Zhuju, who takes care of her diet and daily life, followed closely behind.

"Yes, sister, go slowly!" Su Liruo bowed slightly, waited for her to walk away before slowly straightening up, and looked at her back thoughtfully.

Xiao Wei and Cui'er, who bowed their heads, also straightened up and approached her, Xiao Wei asked puzzledly, "Sister Ruo, when did you get infected..."

Su Liruo turned his head, his eyes signaled, and stopped Xiao Wei's words in time. His face was slightly tired: "Let's go in!" Today I am unwell and very tired. ”

Xiao Yui understood what she meant? Paused and said nothing.

Cui'er stretched out her hand to support Su Liruo: "It's all to blame on the slave maid, negligent beauty is weak." ”

Xiao Wei hugged the other side and said: "The wind is cold at the end of autumn, my sister is afraid that the cold wind is blowing heavily, so hurry back to the house to rest!" ”

Su Liruo nodded slightly, and followed the two back to the pavilion.

Chasing Cloud Tower, Jiang Xueke pondered deeply, thinking about the beautiful concubine who seemed to be weak, but she was deeply hidden, so she responded indifferently, and she was not an ordinary woman.

Her eyes are implicitly arrogant, sacred and intrusive, if she is just a worldly, how can she have an innate noble arrogance? If the status is precious, how can he be sent to another country to become a concubine?

"Miss, the slave is too ignorant to look at the Ning Yan Pavilion, and she even ignored Miss's invitation in vain, and dared to refuse Miss's wishes?" Xiangmei poured tea for her and said angrily.

Jiang Xueke squinted at Xiangmei: "Where is she ignorant, just to protect herself, not to violate the rules set by the prince, she would rather offend me than give in." It seems that she is not simple! ”

Xiangmei then remembered the specific rules of the palace, and it was forbidden for concubines to cross the pavilion between them. "Even so, she is just a concubine, she should submit to the power of the young lady, so rude, she will definitely play some hardships for her in the future, she will..."

Jiang Xueke's eyes glared at Xiangmei fiercely, so frightened that Xiangmei suddenly stopped and lowered her head.

Jiang Xueke glanced back at the bamboo chrysanthemum standing on the side, and her face was a little gloomy.

In the East Pavilion, Feng Xuanyu is reading the case file, and the volume records in detail that Jiang Taiwei and Concubine Xiao are relatives, and Jiang Taiwei sent Concubine Xiao into the palace to wait for Emperor Entropy through some means, and how to obtain half of the military power with the glory of family merit!

Nightshade pushed the door in: "Lord Wang! ”

Feng Xuanyu raised his eyes: "What's the matter?" ”

"Yan Niang just came to report, the one from Ningyan Pavilion stepped out of the pavilion door this morning, stayed by the pool to play, and later, Chasing Cloud Tower also came out, and the two talked very happily. He was also invited to talk to the pavilion, but Ningyan Pavilion politely refused. Nightshade stepped forward and whispered.

"Oh, what a good conversation?" Feng Xuanyu frowned, and a sneer appeared on his lips: "Talking in the pavilion? It seems that Jiang Xueke didn't listen to the king's words. ”
