Chapter Twenty-Nine: Illusion or Reality
Hongyao had nothing to do, so he wandered around the house.
She entered as soon as she saw the door, wandering around casually, as if adventurous.
No, as soon as she passed the weeping flower gate, she stepped on the wide courtyard, and continued to walk along the courtyard, there was an unobstructed gate, and there was a plaque on it, which read: Xuanyou Palace.
Hongyao stopped and looked up for a while, then turned around and went to the small door on the left side of the Xuanyou Palace, and as soon as she stepped through the small door, she seemed to have entered another world.
It's a beautiful hideaway.
Red Medicine couldn't help but raise her right foot, and then her left foot, watching everything here.
There is an irregular pond here, and there is a rockery behind the pond, which surrounds the pond and is planted with small green grass; On the side facing the red medicine, there is a long hand-copying verandah, and at the end of the hand-copying verandah is a simple but delicate round pavilion, which faces the rippling blue pond.
Hongyao looked around, and saw that there was no one here, and she was tired of walking, so she went straight to the verandah, stepped directly over the railing, and went to the round pavilion.
She rested her chin on her two crossed arms, her arms resting on the top of the beauty's leaning, and her eyes staring at the pond in a daze.
There is nothing in the pond except a few koi fish swimming back and forth.
Hongyao muttered: "This palace is big, just one pond is about to catch up with the size of the entire shogunate, and after walking for so long, I still haven't found a place to meet guests." ”
She didn't know how long she was here, until she got up and wanted to leave, only to find that there was another person in the pavilion at some point, Hongyao glanced at the back of the person's head lightly, and didn't care.
The man probably heard the sound coming from behind him, he slowly turned his head, and in an instant, Hongyao recognized the man in front of him.
He was the same person he had seen in the alley in the morning, the one who had tried to kill her.
Nangong Yu recognized the red medicine, and he was pleasantly surprised: "It's you!" After that, he stepped forward to greet Hongyao, who immediately put his whole body on guard and took two steps back.
Nangong Yu finally remembered something, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid of me, what happened this morning was purely accidental, I originally wanted to go down and apologize to you in person, but who knew that as soon as I went down, I wouldn't see you; Today's encounter is fate, and I apologize to the girl here, and I hope that the girl Haihan. ”
Hongyao didn't believe his nonsense, although she didn't stay downstairs for too long, but the man in front of her was enough to come down and apologize to her; However, she did not see the man.
Obviously, he was lying.
Hongyao's impression of him has deteriorated a little more.
I didn't expect to see him in the palace, which really surprised Hongyao. However, Hongyao also concluded that he was safe, and forgave him for not daring to do anything wrong in the palace, however, his vigilance and vigilance were indispensable.
"Girl?" Nangong Yu clenched his fists with both hands, looked up at her secretly, and said.
Hongyao retracted his thoughts, didn't look at him, and said in a warm voice: "Please pay attention to your behavior in the future!" ”
After saying that, she left without hesitation, Nangong Yu looked at the back of Hongyao, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a playful smile.
There were people at the moment, and it was inconvenient for Hongyao to step directly over the railing like when she came, she wandered through the corridor of the hand, and when she was about to reach the end, she met a group of three people.
Hongyao didn't have any intention of dealing with people now, but when she saw that the person walking in the middle was wearing a bright yellow brocade robe, she had already guessed the identity of the other party, and she couldn't slip away if she wanted to, so she could only step forward.
Standing on the left, Mu Chen saw that she was wearing a goose-yellow chrysanthemum skirt, very playful and cute, and his eyes were unconsciously dyed with a faint smile.
"Hongyao, this is the prince." Curtain Dust Road.
"The folk girl sees the prince." Red Medicine respectfully blessed the body.
"Get up."
Hongyao got up, with curiosity, his eyes secretly aimed at the prince, only to see that he was wearing a bright yellow python brocade robe, and his whole body exuded the aura of a king; Secretly looking up, I saw that the prince had a pair of handsome sword eyebrows, under the sword eyebrows were a pair of sharp eyes, a tall nose, and a thin lip under the nose.
She lowered her head and thought: If you take apart the facial features, each one is an extremely perfect existence, and when the facial features are fused together, they are also handsome.
"Is this king good-looking?"
Hongyao raised her head suddenly, and when she saw a hint of banter rippling in the eyes of the prince, she immediately realized that she had just looked at him, she hid the embarrassment and embarrassment in her heart, and generously admitted: "The prince is wise!" ”
After hearing this, the prince laughed, put his hands behind his back, and went straight to the round pavilion.
Hongyao looked at Mu Chen for some reason, she didn't do anything wrong, why did she stare at her? Then, she looked at Su Jiuling, who hadn't looked at her from beginning to end.
Su Jiuling still loves white as always, holding a folding fan in his hand as always, as noble as ever, as demonic as ever, however, some things have changed.
He no longer talked and laughed with her as before, and took care of her as a friend, but was more alienated and indifferent to her; Shortly after the morning, she also saw Su Jiuling with the man who tried to hurt her.
Hongyao felt a little sad in her heart, she couldn't believe that Su Jiuling, who had only been seen for half a year, had a drastic change in her attitude towards her, and she couldn't believe the fact that Su Jiuling was in league with the man who hurt her.
However, at the end of the corridor, she saw that the man was standing behind Su Jiuling after saying hello to the prince. All this is self-evident.
Hongyao retracted her sad heart, and to this day, she finally understands a truth: everything in the world is changing, no matter people, things or things; Just like the curtain dust I saw today, the strange sharp eyes at that moment, just like the Su Jiuling I saw today, the alienated indifferent and unfamiliar attitude.
People are also changing all the time, and everyone's face is more or less wearing a camouflage mask, which may allow us to better adapt to the interaction with people and better adapt to this society.
She wanted to say hello to Su Jiuling, but when she saw his alienated eyes, she still didn't have the courage; She wanted to ask Su Jiuling if what happened in the morning was a misunderstanding, however, when she saw his indifferent eyes, she finally chose to give up.
Hongyao was afraid that this question would affect the relationship between the two......
Eventually, she decided not to ask anything, just as if nothing had happened, and then, everything happened again.
She can't deceive her heart, but she can deceive her consciousness.
Dinner time.
A luxuriously decorated room.
The prince sat on the upper guest, Su Jiuling and the man sat on the right side, Mu Chen sat on the left side, and the red medicine stood respectfully behind him. Everyone was lined with delicacies and fine wines.
At this time, a group of dancers in pink gauze skirts walked in an orderly manner.
The prince looked at the sides and said with a smile: "It's rare to be interested today, so let them dance to cheer us up." ”
Hongyao's gaze passed over the faces of each of the dancers, they were all girls of her age, each girl was born extremely handsome, they stood upright, their heads held high, Hongyao thought to herself: they have a gentle temperament, I don't know if they are born with it, or they are born from dancing.
With the sound of music, the dancers threw out their long sleeves and danced together.
Hongyao looked at their neat and orderly movements, twisting their slender waists, and their peach-colored clothes dancing in the air.
Red Medicine was fascinated by it.
After the dance, the audience burst into warm applause, and the red medicine also pulled back thoughts from the wonderful other world.
"The three of you stay to serve Su Gongzi, Mu Gongzi, and Nangong Gongzi, and the others will go down first." The prince looked at the three dancing girls led by him and said.
Looking at the red medicine one by one, the dancing girl in the center was tall, with a fair goose egg face, a pair of smart big eyes, a small nose, red lips, a proper beauty, and the other two women were also rare beauties in the world.
The beauty in the center moved with small steps, slowly walking towards Su Jiuling, Hongyao was surprised to find that she saw the woman's shyness in the eyes of the beauty, and then she looked at the other two beauties, not surprisingly, their eyes were shy, and their faces were red.
The red medicine is clear in the chest, since ancient times, only gentlemen love beauties, why don't beauties love gentlemen?
"Little girl, there's nothing for you here, let's go down first." The prince smiled at the red medicine.
Hongyao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Muchen again, and asked his opinion with his eyes.
Muchen looked up at her and said, "You go down first." ”
Hongyao was about to leave, and Mu Chen said at this time: "If you feel bored in the mansion, let Ah Fu accompany you out for a walk." ”
However, just as Hongyao walked to the door, she suddenly felt a creepy and eerie aura, which seemed to have great power, holding her feet tightly to the ground, unable to lift an inch.
Suddenly, between heaven and earth, there was darkness, and Red Medicine looked in horror at a sharp arrowhead, shooting at her with a stunning light, she wanted to escape, but her body could not move, and a great fear swallowed her.
The bow and arrow disappeared, Hongyao felt a sharp pain in her chest, she lowered her head, subconsciously touched her chest, Hongyao looked at the blood on her hand in horror, and then she looked down at her chest in a daze, a red wetness.
"Red Medicine! Red Medicine! ”
A familiar and unfamiliar voice came, and Red Medicine searched everywhere in the darkness for the owner of that voice, however, there was only darkness except darkness.
"Red Medicine! Red Medicine! ”
Familiar and unfamiliar voices came again. She felt someone shaking her body.
Hongyao slowly opened her eyes, her expression was dazed, and after a while, she got up from the ground, and at this time, Mu Chen said, "Hongyao, what's wrong with you?" ”
The prince said: "Let's ask the imperial doctor to come and have a look!" ”
Hongyao hurriedly said: "Thank you for your concern, the slave and maid are fine, but they fainted until they didn't rest well last night, and the slave and maid will definitely pay attention in the future." ”
The prince said: "Well, since this is the case, it is good to pay attention in the future." ”
Mu Chen looked worriedly at the back of Hongyao's departure, and after Su Jiuling glanced at it lightly, he thought about it.
