Chapter 4: Sorrow
In the past few days, Ling Anyue has come in every day to take a look, although she doesn't say anything, she just walks around the yard, but she looks at this person well, and Rui'er is not afraid.
"Haha, it's similar to your master's temperament." Ling Anyue didn't get angry, but laughed, laughing, as if she was very happy.
"You're going to eat?" Ling Anyue was a little happy to catch up with this time.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Rui'er and agreed, "Yes, I'm back, I want to eat some good things, and I haven't been late for the past few days." β
Su Xiaoxiao thought of the days when she was hunted down and killed recently, she didn't say it, and she wouldn't say it, her intuition told her that these things couldn't be told to others, and she had to investigate secretly, and as expected, she should have guessed who sent them.
"Rui'er, serve." Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand outside and motioned for the food to be brought in.
Rui'er immediately understood Su Xiaoxiao's meaning, and ordered outside the door, "Quick, send things in." After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and tied up the food.
Su Xiaoxiao and Ling Anyue didn't speak, both of them watched some little palace maids help set up objects, and the little palace maids retreated in an orderly manner. Only then did Rui'er stand aside and pour wine for Su Xiaoxiao and Ling Anyue.
"Look, we're at this level here, there's nothing too good, it's all my favorite food, why don't you ask the kitchen to add some more?" Su Xiaoxiao looked at Ling Anyue inquiringly, and handed the chopsticks in his hand to him.
Intentionally or unintentionally, he said his desolation here.
Ling Anyue turned her head and glanced at the eunuch palace maid who had withdrawn, "It's really the opposite, why is there no one waiting in this Fangfei Garden?" Of course, Ling Anyue could see the indifference of those people, clenched her fists angrily, and was about to raise her voice and yell outside the door.
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly stopped, "Your Highness Feng, there's no need. Su Xiaoxiao smiled lightly, "Your Highness Feng, these are some superficial phenomena, even if we call them back, it is useless, we have to find a way to cure the root cause." Su Xiaoxiao's face was full of smiles, full of confidence, and she took the wine glass, and Rui'er hurriedly handed over the wine jug.
Su Xiaoxiao poured a glass of wine and handed it to Ling Anyue, handed it over, raised her head, and smiled, "Your Highness Feng doesn't have to worry, it's still a long time, and the slaves and maids are just looking at the master's face." If the master has a worth, they will naturally be obedient. Su Xiaoxiao has grown up, and she seems to have learned these problems by herself, and she understands a lot of things in an instant.
It's no longer that naΓ―ve, innocent little girl.
Ling Anyue raised her head, the wine entered her throat, she originally liked to drink very much, but today's wine was unusually bitter and spicy, Ling Anyue was a little sad about Su Xiao's change, a little distressed, and a little gratified.
From the moment she entered the palace, it was doomed, how could there be people in this palace who didn't grow up? It doesn't matter what your age is, it will change to a greater or lesser extent.
The palace is a melting pot, and in its most unique way, it teaches the people in it how to be realistic, how to fight, no one will be carefree all their lives, and such a thing never exists.
Since ancient times, it has been impossible.
Su Xiaoxiao chuckled and looked at Ling Anyue, "Your Highness Yue, it can be regarded as a small blessing to be able to wash the dust in order to catch the wind today, originally, I thought that only me and my good sister Rui'er would eat this meal together." Su Xiaoxin also felt a little bitter, in such a big place, there are only a few people who can really come to see him, how lonely.
"Xiaoxiao, if one day I have the ability to protect you, would you like to be with me?" Ling Anyue looked at Su Xiaoxiao's eyes seriously, there were things in them that made people feel calm, and when she saw it, her mood was naturally like a pool of water, and she would not be afraid.
It was also because of this that Ling Anyue dared to ask such a thing. This sentence was meant to be taken to heart, but he still couldn't help but ask.
"Your Highness Feng, if you don't mind, just ask my palace maid to follow us to a table for dinner." Su Xiao deftly avoided Ling Anyue's question.
It can't be said to be dexterous, or it can be said that it is not dexterous at all, and it is a little rusty, but in the end, she still avoided it, and she didn't want to answer such a question.
For Ling Anyue, it is not that kind of feeling, although you don't have to worry about the future, Su Xiaoxiao will not choose like that, because she doesn't love.
Ling Anyue's originally hopeful eyes slowly dimmed, like the eyes of the starry night instantly turned pitch black, took the dish that Su Xiaoxiao handed to the bowl, ate it in one bite, and then slowly replied, "Rui'er, you can sit down too." β
"Rui'er doesn't dare." Rui'er replied respectfully, with a somewhat panicked look on her face. When Su Xiaoxiao made such a request just now, she felt that it was inappropriate, how could she do this? One is Su Gui, Su Gui is okay, it makes sense, after all, she is the young lady of her own family, but the other is His Royal Highness the Prince, how can you sit and eat together casually?
Rui'er naturally knew that Su Xiaoxiao was using her as a shield, but she couldn't take it seriously.
"Sit down, it's not the right time for me to come, otherwise you want to be together, your young lady rarely treats you as a sister, so you can sit down and eat together." Although Ling Anyue didn't have a serious expression or a stern attitude, Rui'er didn't dare to refuse anymore, and obediently pulled over the chair on the side and sat down.
Rui'er lowered her head and didn't dare to raise her head, so she only took the food handed by Su Xiaoxiao, picked up the chopsticks, and ate quietly.
"Your Highness Yue, Xiaoxiao wants to toast you, thank you for your continued care, and Xiaoxiao will repay you in the future." Su Xiaoxiao picked up the wine glass and stood up and bowed towards Ling Anyue.
Ling Anyue also stood up, raised her wine glass, and smiled heartily, but her heart was like a drop of blood. "In the future, where it is useful to me, I should help with all my strength, where do I need to repay it? We're friends. β
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and raised her head to drink the wine in the glass and wiped her mouth. I am not very good at drinking, but now I have drunk two glasses, and I am slightly drunk, and my face is slightly red, like a sunset on the horizon. Ling Anyue was a little stunned, and Rui'er hurriedly tied the two of them to the side and poured wine.
"Don't fall." Ling Anyue pressed her hand on Su Xiaoxiao's wine glass, her eyes always looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who was slightly drunk, and motioned Rui'er to put down the wine jug.
Rui'er obediently put the flask on the table, and didn't dare to sit down to eat anymore.
"Don't drink anymore, if you can't drink too much, don't drink so much, it'll be very uncomfortable when you're drunk." Ling Anyue knew that Su Xiaoxiao was a little sad, although it was not very obvious on the surface, but there were some places that were revealed.
"It's not too early today, I'll go back, I'll order someone to send you the selected slaves and maids later, and you can have a good rest after eating." After Ling Anyue finished speaking, she stood up without saying anything and walked towards the door.
He didn't wait for Su Xiaoxiao to stand up and salute, nor did he allow Rui'er to send him, but just strode away and seemed to leave in style.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't mean to get up, looking at Rui'er, she smiled. "Come on, now it's just the two of us, our sisters really have to have a good reunion dinner." Su Xiaoxiao moved the wine glass away and put it aside. She knew that she was not strong enough to drink, and she also knew that she was in a bad mood, but Su Xiaoxiao was not a person who liked to torture herself.
Rui'er smiled, "Miss, in fact, His Royal Highness Yue is not bad." After Rui'er finished speaking, she picked up the chopsticks she had put down just now, Ling Anyue was very good, but after all, she was His Royal Highness the Prince, and when he was there, Rui'er was really nervous to death.
Rui'er took a large mouthful of food and put it into Su's small bowl.
"Well, yes, yes, yes, he's not going to be your turn to be a young lady. Don't remember? There is a sealed prince and concubine for him. Su Xiaoxiao said this, and then remembered that she didn't know who Ling Anyue's quasi-princess was.
"Miss, if you know who the princess of Zhun Yue is, you will be a little shocked." Rui'er said, looking back at the door, fortunately, there are so many people in this Fangfei Garden now, otherwise it would be really inconvenient to talk about anything.
"Who is it?" How could Su Xiaoxiao be shocked? If you can become the princess of the wind yourself, what else is impossible? Now, inside this palace, everything is possible.
"It's Han Rubing, the queen's niece, which one is particularly domineering." Rui'er said that she was in a good mood, but Su Xiaoxiao didn't show the surprised look that Rui'er thought.
Su Xiaoxiao just quietly took a bite of food, ate a mouthful of food, swallowed the food, and then responded faintly, "It's bitter His Royal Highness Yue, this woman is high-flying and domineering, and loves to make trouble, I really don't know what will happen to Prince Yue's Mansion in the future." "Ling Anyue is said to have two side concubines, but I'm afraid these two people won't have a good time in the future.
People are different from themselves, with the support of the queen, no one has to be afraid. I can't do it myself, I have to think about protecting the family, and I have to think hard to snatch Ling Anfeng back, this day can't be too easy.
Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, finally put down her disguise, and became a little worried.
At night, Su Xiaoxiao took a bath and couldn't sleep, so she asked Rui'er to accompany her to the yard for a walk.
The early autumn nights are not very cool, but they are always a little colder. The leaves of the trees turned a little yellow, and the stars in the sky were not obvious at all in the sky of the palace, and the lights in the palace were too dazzling, and the sky was also a little bright.
Su Xiaoxiao and Rui'er walked out of Fangfei Garden, the gate of the palace, and looked to the left, it was Ling Anfeng's palace, that place called Ling Xiang Palace, there was a man he liked, he had a good-looking face and a good voice, but by his side, there must also be a good-looking face at this moment.
