Tourmaline hesitated for a long time, and Li Junqi's warm invitation really made him excited. Her family has been a mystic master of the Western Regions for generations, and she has been learning from her ears and eyes since she was a child, and she left her family at the age of fifteen and began to run around, studying the secret arts while enjoying the customs and customs along the way.

She never thought that one day she would settle somewhere, and since then she has lived a peaceful life, and her heart yearns for freedom. She chose to leave the country of the Western Regions precisely to realize her dream, and live freely and unrestrained, without shackles or thoughts.

If she stays in Prince Wen's mansion, I am afraid that what awaits her will be a different world, a completely different life.

Li Junqi stared at her peerless beauty, and promised again, "Tourmaline, don't worry, your food and clothing, Prince Wen's Mansion will try its best to meet you, if there are any other requirements, even if you put it forward, as long as this king can do it, he will do his best." ”

Tourmaline through the open door, quietly glanced at the appearance of the palace, the style is elegant, not like the splendid palace, depressed to make people breathless. The bamboo pavilion alley is really a style she admires.

"Your Highness, the little girl can stay in your house for a while, and when His Royal Highness's hegemony is completed, the little woman will leave here, and it is the little woman's dream to travel all over the world, and it is just a fate between you and me to settle down for a short time."

Tourmaline warbler Ying Yanyan agreed, her eyes flickered, as dazzling as the bright stars in the sky, her skin was as fair as the snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains, and the whole person was as beautiful as a stunner in the world, not eating fireworks in the world.

Li Junqi graciously invited her into the palace, and instructed the housekeeper, "Inform the palace that Miss Tourmaline is a distinguished guest of our palace, and no one should neglect her." In addition, the north hall was cleaned up, and the father and mother did not live for a long time, so it was inevitable that it would be deserted, and all the subordinates in the house were ordered to let go of their affairs and clean the north hall first. ”

"Yes, yes, the minion will do it." The butler agreed repeatedly, and acted resolutely.

Li Junqi turned his head and smiled at the curious tourmaline, "This king will take you to visit the palace, this is still quite big, you check in for the first time, don't get lost, and there are places that are forbidden places, you can't walk around casually, I will tell you in turn, just keep it in mind." ”

"Okay, the little lady thanked Your Highness." Tourmaline's smile is as beautiful as a fairy, and there are small dimples looming on both cheeks, which is very charming.

Aunt Yun saw Li Junqi leading a strangely dressed woman from a distance, pointing to different places and talking and laughing, so she hurriedly came over and blessed her body, "See Your Highness, may I ask who this is ......?"

According to Aunt Yun's understanding, Li Junqi is not interested in any woman except for Tang Anxia, who he loves deeply. Even Bai Mei and Zhilian have loved him deeply for many years, and Li Junqi can be indifferent.

Moreover, this woman is dressed in red, a thin layer of gauze is like a fairy, and her face is beautiful, and she is not a woman living in the imperial city at first glance.

Li Junqi's handsome cheeks flashed with radiant joy, and the corners of his lips were lightly hooked, and a good thought suddenly flashed, "Aunt Yun, this is a tourmaline girl, from the distant country of the Western Regions. The king invited her to the house as a guest, the east hall does not need you to serve, there are enough maids around Ziyu and the princess, you go to the north hall to take care of the tourmaline girl's diet and daily life, I believe that with you, the tourmaline girl will be able to be taken care of in the palace very well. ”

Aunt Yun was stunned, she had always served Li Junqi, and she was suddenly sent to serve a strange woman? Could it be that His Highness looks at her differently? And also lived in the north hall, which was the residence of the regent and his wife after all, which is enough to see the importance that His Royal Highness attaches to this woman.

So, what qualifications does Tang Anxia have to be arrogant? Aunt Yun suddenly cheered up and blessed the tourmaline, "Girl, rest assured, the old slave will definitely do her best to take care of you." When the old slave saw that the servants were going to clean the north hall, he thought that His Royal Highness was going to move in, but he didn't expect a beautiful girl to come. The old slave immediately arranged for the girl's room to be as comfortable as a princess's bedroom. ”

"Thank you, Aunt Yun." Tourmaline crossed her hands and rested on her delicate shoulders, bowing slightly.

Aunt Yun couldn't help but praise, "In the end, it is a woman from the country of the Western Regions, who is so beautiful even to make a salute, just like dancing." Oh, the old slave is too talkative, the old slave is short-sighted, the first time I saw a woman like you, I was happy, and I asked the girl not to blame. ”

Tourmaline smiled shallowly, the dimples at the corners of her mouth loomed, and her voice was tactful and listened to the singing of a bird, "No, Aunt Yun's straightforward temperament, the little woman likes it very much." ”

……

East Temple.

Rong'er trotted all the way and rushed into Tang Anxia, who was writing in the study.

Fang Yan glanced at her and laughed, "What's wrong with you?" Frizzy! Princess Zheng finally wrote for a while, you dare to bother! ”

Tang Anxia put down the brush in his hand and raised his eyes, just in time to meet Rong'er's panicked eyes. With a calm demeanor, she was slightly surprised and said, "Rong'er, what's the matter?" You've made a mess like this! ”

"Oh no! Princess! Big things are wrong! Rong'er was almost crying, she was really worried about her master, but she didn't know what to do.

Tang Anxia stepped forward slowly, and now she is no longer the girl who was flustered and at a loss at the beginning of a trivial matter. After so many intrigues, winds and waves, Tang Anxia at this moment will not feel anything strange even if the sky falls.

"What's wrong? You speak slowly. Tang Anxia's tone was as calm as water, and he picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.

Rong'er took two deep breaths and said slowly, "Princess Zheng, Your Royal Highness sent Xixue away early in the morning, but I didn't know where I met a beautiful woman, I heard the rumors that the woman came from the country of the Western Regions, she was extremely beautiful, and her dress was even weird and amorous."

His Royal Highness actually left her in the palace and ordered all the subordinates to clean up the Zhengbei Palace, and even the minions of our East Hall put down their work and ran to the Zhengbei Hall to help. I heard that His Royal Highness wanted to settle her down and let her live for a long time, and sent Aunt Yun to serve her personally. The slave maid also heard that the north hall used to be the place where the regent and his wife lived, which was quite magnificent.

Now the whole palace is spreading this matter, some are rumoring that the woman's beauty and unique temperament, and some are rumoring that His Royal Highness looks at her differently and how good he is to her. Moreover...... They said...... Say ......"

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Tang Anxia said coldly, her eyes gradually dimmed, and the long eyelashes that hung down covered the loneliness and sadness under her eyes.

They said...... Princess Zheng must be careful of her! Be careful, Your Highness will fall in love with her! Rong'er mustered up her courage and finally spit out this sentence.

"Presumptuous! You dare to talk about such stupid things casually! Princess! The slave and maid went to the courtyard and asked to see who was dying! Dare to chew your tongue behind your back and talk about your rights and wrongs! Recently, we have been too good to this group of people, they don't know how many catties and taels they have, and they dare to kick their noses in the face! It's too much! ”

Fang Yan was so angry that she was about to run out without saying anything.

Tang Anxia immediately called her, "Don't be impulsive!" What are you doing when you go out into the wilderness? can only let the side princess of the west hall, as well as Aunt Yun and Zhilian, see the jokes! ”

Fang Yan's footsteps stopped, she stood in place for a moment, turned around, the corners of her mouth were deflated, tears almost fell, and she said aggrievedly, "Princess Zheng...... The slave is not worth it for you! You work hard for the palace every day, and you support the whole palace by yourself, and you also make some business carefully, let the servants make some bamboo baskets, and the maidservants make some female red sachets and brocades, and sell them in the market.

We've only been open for three days! There are such jokes in the house! Didn't Your Highness make it clear that you will be slapped in the face again? You have worked hard at home, but Your Highness is looking for joy outside! I dared to bring the woman home......"

"Shut up!" Tang Anxia didn't wait for Fang Yan to finish speaking, and immediately interrupted her words, she couldn't see half of the mood fluctuations in her cold eyes, although she was endlessly sad in her heart, she would rather be buried in the depths than revealed in front of others.

Fang Yan still cried after all, and complained vaguely, "The slave would rather stay in the Tang family, you are still the second lady of the Tang family, and the slave is your little maid...... Even if you are scolded and occasionally framed by the third lady, at least you don't live hard......"

In the past?

Tang Anxia's mind racked her brains to recall her past experiences, but unfortunately she couldn't imagine any fun. For her, all the things in the past, whether happy or wronged, have no meaning and value for a long time, what she wants is just the peace and wealth of the family, and Li Junqi's white head and old age. Now, the family has been preserved, and it can be both safe and rich.

If Li Junqi is gone, is all this still meaningful?

Tang Anxia drank all the tea in the cup, swallowed it with mixed feelings, and said calmly, "Your Highness may just be on a whim, don't make a fuss, let alone mess with yourself." You must know that the more this time, the more people want to see our jokes, the side princess of the West Hall has declared war on us, as well as Aunt Yun and Zhilian, and the princess of the Bright Moon Palace, as well as ...... They are eyeing each other one by one, how can we admit defeat?

If we lose, it will be equivalent to losing our lives, and if we win, we can save our lives and keep our wealth, even if Your Highness doesn't like me anymore, just like the emperor no longer likes the queen and the concubine. It doesn't matter, as long as we are like queens and concubines, we keep our status and glory and wealth, and we can still live a chic and stable life for the rest of our lives. ”

Fang Yan and Rong'er looked at each other, and Tang Anxia's reaction really surprised them.

I thought she would be resentful, or crying heartbreakingly, or heartbroken. After all, the two of them have truly loved each other, and they have gone through many heartaches and tribulations along the way to have today's glory.

But he never thought that Tang Anxia's sadness was just a moment, and it was quickly replaced by a calm and calm like Mount Tai, which is really admirable.

Tang Anxia got up slowly, walked to the dresser, and while sorting out her makeup, she called out, "Fang Yan, go and get me a white dress, since His Royal Highness has led people into the door, I must do my best to meet the landlord in person." ”

Fang Yan was stunned again, and then wiped away the tears on her face and answered loudly, "Yes!" The slave gets it! ”

After Tang Anxia finished changing clothes, she painted a light makeup, and wore a silver hairpin between her buns, without any decoration.

On the way, Fang Yan said curiously, "Princess Zheng, why don't you dress up a little more?" Compare that woman from the Western Regions! You look so beautiful, as long as you wear heavy makeup, wear the princess's court clothes, and wear a golden crown! I'm sure she'll be able to shine on her! ”

"How's that going to work? Your Highness will not like it when you see it. Tang Anxia replied with a strange yin and yang attitude.

Fang Yan didn't understand the meaning, and looked at the busy slaves and maids all around, moving things to the north hall inside and out, so she didn't want to ask anything.

By the time Li Junqi was found, he and Tourmaline had already finished visiting the entire palace and arrived at the north hall.

Li Junqi saw Tang Anxia at a glance, his face suddenly flashed a trace of discomfort, and in an instant, he returned to his previous cold and handsome, and said softly, "Why is Princess Zheng here?" ”

Tang Anxia's heart sank suddenly, he no longer called her 'Anxia'!

"See Your Highness." Tang Anxia politely blessed her body, and looked at the woman standing between the two with clear eyes, she was really beautiful, so beautiful that people couldn't forget it at a glance, and she was so beautiful that there was no second person in this world who dared to compare with her!

Li Junqi curled his thin lips, he saw the appreciation and envy of tourmaline in Tang Anxia's eyes, and there was no resentment and jealousy, this is the best. He didn't want a fire in the backyard, and the two women were jealous, which affected his ambition to dominate the industry.

As long as Tang Anxia does not take the initiative to cause a war, according to Tourmaline's temperament, she will not participate in the intrigue.

"Tourmaline, this is the princess of Prince Wen's mansion, An Xia, this is a tourmaline girl, a distinguished guest invited by this king."

Tourmaline smiled lightly, and the sun and moon lost their luster, "See Princess Zheng." ”

She still crossed her hands, rested on her shoulders, and bowed slightly.

Tang Anxia looked at her quietly, her face was expressionless, with a smile on her lips, her voice was not hurried, and she said calmly, "What a good girl, no wonder His Royal Highness asked you to move to the palace to live, this princess likes you very much, if you have anything to do in the future, what requirements do you have, just say it, you don't need to see outside, this princess will do her best to satisfy you." ”

"Thank you, Princess." Tourmaline saluted again.

Tang Anxia turned around, walked step by step to the middle of the north hall, looked up at the noble red gate, and suddenly knelt down!

The people in the courtyard were stunned, and when Fang Yan saw this, she hurriedly knelt down together.

Tang Anxia kowtowed respectfully three times, and then slowly stood up, put his hands together on his chest, and said loudly, "Concubine!" Prince Wen's palace is the princess! Meet the Regent! I heard this is your residence! The concubine has always been in awe and did not dare to come to disturb! Now, the North Hall is occupied by newcomers! The concubine came to visit in person, and I wish you good luck and health in the spirit of heaven! May you bless the Princess Regent with peace and prosperity with Prince Wen's mansion! ”

After saying that, Tang Anxia knelt down again, began to bow three times and bow nine times, and bowed.

Fang Yan took the opportunity to shout: "What are you doing in a daze! Don't you dare not bow down to the regent!? Don't you see the sincerity of Princess Zheng? ”
