Chapter 157: The night is cold, and the heart is even cooler
When the kitchen brought a steaming snack, Ruoxi was about to fall asleep, because Xiaoxiao did not come back, the maid who served her to change her clothes was a little scared, after tying the button wrong for the fourth time, Ruoxi finally had no choice but to do it herself, in fact, she has always wanted to come by herself, but these people are all like the plague, and they refused to let her dress by herself, and stood for most of the hour, like a puppet for a long time, not to mention, this dress is not decent, it really makes her a head and two big.
The little palace maid who dressed her just now was about to cry, and she looked at Ruoxi skillfully dressing up and down, Ruoxi looked at her from the mirror, sighed, and couldn't bear to see her so frightened, and said gently, "Have you learned?" "Who knows it's okay not to ask, as soon as I asked, the two lines of hot tears that I was sweating just now fell down in an instant, and the little palace maid knelt in front of her in fear, "Ruoxi girl, the slave maid didn't mean it, it was the slave maid who was clumsy......"
Hey, how could there be so many situations this night, Ruoxi's nerves, which were already tired, were helplessly tired again, "I didn't blame you, why did you ......"
She didn't say that it was okay, as soon as she said it, the little palace maid began to cry again, Ruoxi finally had to help her up, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, "Don't cry, this big night, you are not afraid to recruit wolves." ”
"Are there wolves?" The little palace maid Kankan held back her tears, obviously attracted by Ruoxi's topic, Ruoxi thought about it, looked at her seriously, and replied, "Yes." ”
"Okay, stop crying, come, tell me, what's your name?" She helped her to stand up and let go of her hand, even if there was no mirror at this time, Ruoxi knew what a hypocritical smile she had on her face at the moment, it seemed that no one could take off the mask after wearing it for a long time.
"My name is Qiu Ming."
"Autumn tea? What a good name, do you grow tea at home? Ruoxi looked at her and smiled so much that her eyes were crooked.
The little palace maid Qiu Ming nodded in surprise, "Girl, how do you know that my family grows tea, my father and my mother are tea farmers for generations, and they make a living by growing tea." Qiu Ming continued to explain.
Ruoxi nodded and straightened the hair between her sideburns, "What are you responsible for now?" Are you in charge of dim sum in the kitchen? ”
"Well, girl, how do you know?" Qiu Ming's eyes widened, as if she was looking at a fairy.
Ruoxi chuckled and clicked on her clothes, "You have a strong smell of custard, don't you know?" If you don't believe it, smell it yourself. ”
Qiu Ming really raised his sleeve and put it under his nose to sniff lightly, and sure enough, there was an extremely faint smell of eggs and milk. He smiled wryly, "The slave will come to serve the girl next time she changes her clothes." ”
Ruoxi smiled, and there was a little lofty open-mindedness between her eyebrows, "No need, you can do it like this, it's good, besides," she suddenly laughed, a little narrow, "Besides, do you have to tie the wrong buckle several times when you change your clothes?" ”
Qiu Ming was completely relieved this time, rubbing her still red nose, "People say that the girl is a very good person, I didn't believe it at first, but now I'm really convinced." Girl, you're so nice. ”
"Then you will bake delicious snacks in the kitchen in the future, but remember to bring me some, let's go, the hour is not early, you follow me to His Highness's study to have a look."
"Don't you need to call Sister Xiaoxiao?" Qiu Ming was a little curious. That smile was like Ruoxi's shadow, and she didn't leave her side for a single step, why didn't Ruoxi ask her to go with her at this time?
Ruoxi lifted the snacks sent from the kitchen, "She went to help others today, she worked all day, and she was tired to death, so you don't need to call her, let her rest." Let's just go. Let's go, if you don't go, the dim sum will be cold. ”
Qiu Ming took two quick steps and snatched the small basket of snacks in her hand, Ruoxi smiled and didn't stop it. In fact, there are some things that no one says, she can feel it, a little change in identity, the most sensitive are these people around her, she can detect every little thing, she is different from the past at this time.
That's right, isn't she about to become a side princess? It's time to learn a little bit and adapt early.
In the study, the candle flame was still flickering, projected through the thin window flute paper, and sprinkled on the ground, reflecting a very faint layer of clear light, echoing the fading moonlight.
Walking in such a green mang, my heart softened unconsciously.
What a beautiful night.
Ruoxi looked up and saw that in the garden of the Forgotten Soul Palace, the red begonia that had been strange to everyone for a long time was still blooming alone, incompatible with the white begonia in a yard, but it was so arrogant and domineering, and it was so dazzling, even in such a deep dark night, it could not hide its own scorching brilliance.
She should be so arrogant and beautiful.
Ruoxi stretched out his hand and put his moist fingers in the moonlight, and the fingers bathed in the light light were a little silvery-white, except for the old scars on the tips of the ten fingers that were a little brown, these hands could definitely be called delicate.
"It's beautiful." Qiu Ming looked at the tree and begonia, muttering in a daze.
Ruoxi smiled lightly and didn't speak, no matter what, the beautiful thing can't hide her brilliance, it's gold that always shines.
She and the red begonias of that tree, all the same.
It's just that she can't be so arrogant.
"Autumn tea, let's go in......" Before the word bar came out, Ruoxi's eyes stayed in the clear light of that piece, and among the dark shadows all over the ground, in addition to the mottled and swaying shadows of the trees, it was...... A pair of clearly recognizable figures.
In Wei Sa's study, he was not alone.
One person is in the wind, with a long figure but not losing his sturdy and sturdy, and the other is swaying like the mottled shadow of the tree, graceful and colorful, even if it is a shadow, there are thousands of enchanting, Ruoxi's eyes stay on the overlapping figures reflected on the ground, and the layers of shadows on it should be the heavy tulle on the woman's body.
Raise your nose and smell lightly, and there is also a strong fragrance of Western Regions orchid outside the house.
It's her......
The fingers holding the box tightened inch by inch, and they were squeezed into the palm of their hands, and they didn't feel pain.
The two shadows overlapped each other, ambiguous, like the misty stars of this day. Beautiful, affectionate, but cold.
It's just that no matter how cold Starlight is, it can't be as good as her heart at the moment, and the hot blood cools in her chest little by little until it is cold.
She's supposed to be like this, isn't she?
After all...... That woman was his rightful wife.
And she...... It's just the same as the snacks in this box, which are dispensable embellishments on this ecstatic night.
Qiu Ming obviously saw it too, pursed her lips, and behind her, she didn't dare to make a sound.
She saw that the shoulders of the thin woman in front of her were trembling slightly, and even the hand holding the box began to turn white. She wanted to step forward to speak, but unexpectedly, the man turned back one step ahead of her, and his face was already unshocked.
Ruoxi made a silent gesture to her, lifted her skirt, and turned back slowly, lightly and lightly.
Her steps were extremely light, stepping on the stone slab, handling it gently, not like she was afraid of making a noise, but more like ...... I am afraid that the sound of Yu Yuan's percussion will knock into my heart, the weakest point.
All night, Ruoxi didn't talk to anyone else, and sat alone in the dormitory of the Hall of Forgotten Souls until dawn. Qiu Ming had been waiting outside her door, and she didn't know why she did it, but she didn't want to leave.
***
"Your Highness, have you ever thought about the feelings of the String Moon when you do this?" The woman's soft voice and clasped hands couldn't help but tremble, as if the decision made by the man in front of her made her so unacceptable and unbearable.
Wei Sa raised his eyebrows, leaned on his bookcase, and looked at her. Tonight, Princess Xianyue came uninvited, and she came to Xingshi to ask for guilt.
Since it comes, then it is safe.
Wei Sa remained silent and listened to the woman from another race continue to speak.
Xianyue never raised her head, hooking her head, like a resentful woman who has been bullied, her voice is so soft that water can drip out, "Mrs. Yu came to Qingyin Hall two days ago and informed Xianyue that on the eighth day of the next month, she will be married to His Royal Highness, Xianyue...... It's a pleasure. ”
Wei Sa smiled slightly, looking at her.
"But...... Xianyue also heard that His Royal Highness actually wanted to marry someone else first. String Moon doesn't understand, why is that? She suddenly raised her head, her face aggrieved and complaining, and her long eyelashes cast a dark shadow, making her skin more and more pale and pitiful.
"In Xiliang, a man can also have three wives and four concubines, my father is like this, and it is also common for men to have polygamy, but there has never been an example of a man marrying another woman before his wife, so ......"
"So?" Wei Sa finally gave her a little reaction, and Xianyue swallowed more saliva secreted because of nervousness, and continued with a little fear, "So, Xianyue doesn't understand, why His Highness did this. I also want to ask His Highness to give the moon a reason. ”
Wei Sa's eyes narrowed slightly, she was not small today.
The good-looking eyebrows hooked to one side, and a lazy voice sounded in front of Xianyue, "You asked very well, if the princess doesn't come, this king will also find time to talk to you." Presumably, the princess also knows what the real purpose of the marriage between this king and you is, so this king also thinks that a woman as reasonable as the princess must also think that it is impossible for a handsome and dashing man like this king to guard only one woman for the rest of his life. And...... The king plans to find a suitable sister for the princess before she enters the door, so that the princess will not have a monotonous life after entering the door. ”
"Sisters?" String Moon was a little surprised.
"That's right, she is the side princess, and the princess is the princess, isn't it fate?" Wei Sa looked at her with a smile. "Moreover, this king knows that the princess is shy and graceful by nature, so he is afraid that the princess will recognize her life, so he specially found you and my old friend to accompany you."
"I don't know who His Highness said about the deceased?" String Moon tried her best to keep a decent smile on her face, but she couldn't see the slightest beauty.
"Bai Ruoxi, Bai Ruoxi of the Hall of Forgotten Souls." Wei Sa deliberately deepened the three words of the Forgotten Soul Hall with some evil taste.
