Chapter 51: Princess String Moon
Holding the hot freshly baked dim sum in their hands, the two girls were in a good mood, Ruoxi had been busy all night and had been hungry for a long time, looking at a plate of white and tender, fragrant mare's milk. Zi Cake, who was almost drooling, couldn't help but shout when Martha picked up the plate, "Wait a minute." β
Martha was stunned, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked at her through the veil, "What's wrong?" β
"Ah, that, according to the regulations of our Great Qi Kingdom, as long as it is something for the masters to enter, our subordinates must taste it first." Ruoxi said very unceremoniously picked up a piece of dim sum and put it in her mouth, and ate it, well, sure enough, the pastry should be eaten while it was hot.
"Huh? Why is that? Martha watched in surprise as Ruoxi began to eat the second piece of snack, perhaps because our heroine Ruoxi's children's shoes were very selling, which made Martha swallow her saliva after her. Ruoxi smiled, slowly put the clutch into the plate, quickly pinched the third piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth, stuffed it into Martha by the way, and said while chewing in his mouth, "You don't understand this, do you?" This is naturally for the sake of the safety of the masters, think about it, if this thing is not clean, the masters eat it and have a stomach? Have diarrhea? Bad stomach? But what to do? β
Ruoxi looked at Martha's eyes that she didn't know to be fooled, and she didn't feel guilty at all, on the contrary, she felt that the naΓ―ve Martha had to thank her for not saying it, and she was afraid of someone poisoning it in advance. Martha looked at the reduction of the milk cakes on the plate, but she was in a good mood, she felt that this Han girl was very considerate and thoughtful, and even did such things as testing drugs for her princess, she was really a good person, and then put down the plate in her hand and gave her a big hug, tears were about to flow from her eyes, "Bai Ruoxi, you are really a good person!" β
"Allah will bless you!" She let go of Ruoxi and said with great sincerity.
Ruoxi touched her nose and laughed, "Your faith is really strange, can Allah take care of you all the time?" β
Martha's expression was shocked, and then she became solemn, gestured to the heavens, and put it on her chest of gold, "Of course, Allah is mighty and omnipresent. Her light that protects us is like the white light of the sun, eternal and everlasting. β
Ruoxi heard the cold sweat on her body, and smiled awkwardly, but she thought of another person in her heart, the bloody Li Xi she picked up in the alley of Black Buldong that day. Was he being attacked by his own brother or the opposition? Why didn't he see Allah come to his rescue?
Martha looked at her for a moment, thinking that she had said something wrong, so she cautiously asked, "Did I say something wrong?" β
"Ah, no, no, you're right, I'm thinking about what you just said, and I think it makes sense." Our lovely Ruoxi beauties have reached the realm of truth in telling lies without blinking! Martha was really moved again, grabbed her hand and shook it vigorously, "I didn't expect that there are people among you Han people who have such respect for Allah!" I will always tell you stories of Allah in the future, and you will worship this omnipotent God! β
Sky! Ruoxi felt that her head was big, if this kind of fleshy bala was often whispered in her ear, she would definitely want to hit the wall! This topic is not good, so she quickly replaced it, so she neatly picked up the milk cake that still had more than half a plate left, and said to her, "Let's go, let's send it to the princess!" β
Martha followed her in a hurry, thinking to herself how this good man would know to lead her who didn't know the way? This Bai Ruoxi is really a good person!
Unexpectedly, Princess Xianyue's room was not as luxurious as imagined, the room was simply surrounded by a few places with a veil, showing the difference from the palace of the Great Qi Kingdom, and the rest of the use was not so strange, what made Ruoxi care very much was that there was a sweet smell wafting in this extremely elegant room, not like the aroma of spices in the Central Plains, but like a taste of one or several strange flowers and plants mixed together, which made people can't help but start to relax after coming in, and their mood is much calmer.
In this room where there is no second person present during the New Year's greeting, the princess of the moon is still veiled, and the whole person is quiet, looking very lonely. When he saw his handmaid come back, a little light flashed in his eyes, and just as he was about to speak, he saw another woman behind Martha.
"Princess." Martha called out very happily, put the plate on the low table in front of her, and smiled like a flower, "Princess, this is the palace maid from the Qingyin Palace to help make it, please taste it." β
Xianyue nodded, but didn't start to eat, but instead looked at Ruoxi's body, looking up and down a few times.
Ruoxi was accustomed to this kind of scrutinizing gaze, standing very relaxed, letting her look at herself, and at the end, seeing that Xianyue retracted her gaze, she slowly made a national salute, "Little Bai Ruoxi greets Princess Xianyue." The princess of the first moon is in good health. β
String Moon frowned, and a nice voice came through the veil, "Please get up, just call me String Moon." β
Ruoxi hurriedly took a step back, showing twelve points of respect and obedience, "The little one doesn't dare, if the princess doesn't have any other instructions, the little one will retire." She felt an unfriendly aura from Xianyue's body, although what she said and the tone she used were so calm and calm, but in this blandness, Ruoxi could still smell a hidden extremely dangerous aura. At this time, since the other party and his own aura are not in sync, it is better for him to withdraw first.
Xianyue nodded indifferently, and without saying any more kind words, Ruoxi walked out with a hunched body. Martha came out after her very happily, "Thank you, Bai Ruoxi." β
"Just call me Ruoxi." Ruoxi turned around and said with a smile, in all fairness, she still prefers this simpler Martha. Her every movement was so real, very different from the people in this imperial city. The feeling of freshness and naturalness attracted her deeply.
It's like seeing yourself when you were younger. This feeling...... In addition to the joy of joy, there is also a slight sadness.
Ruoxi walked a few steps, and when she looked back, she saw Martha standing in place, waving at her with the gauze in her hand. The soles of his feet unconsciously turned back and walked in front of Martha, "Most of the water here is well water, your princess has just come, and it is likely that she will not be adaptable, so you must give her boiled water, even if you want to drink cold water, it must be cool after boiling, especially tonight, you don't want to give her tea, eat fruit, people who eat mare's milk cakes, those things are not touchable, and they will have stomach trouble, you know?" β
Martha's eyes widened and she wrote them down one by one, with a look of admiration in her eyes, "Ruoxi, you are awesome!" You know this kind of thing very well, it turns out that you still have so much knowledge about water here, I remember it. β
Ruoxi looked at Martha, who was startled in front of her, and patted her shoulder, feeling that the bones under her hands were very special, and her heart moved, thinking, could this girl with bigger nerves than herself be a martial arts master? Otherwise, how could she be deliberately left here by King Xiliang to accompany the princess? I guess I'm also worried about the safety of Princess String Moon. "It's the same for you, don't forget that we just ate mare's milk cake together!"
"Uh" Martha's face froze, and suddenly turned red, as if she felt a little embarrassed, and nodded fiercely. "Hey." She stopped Ruoxi from leaving, took off her veil and handed it to her, she didn't know if it was frozen or what, she always looked a little shy, "Na, I'll give you the veil." β
"Give it to me? I don't need this again. Ruoxi didn't understand.
"No, in our Xiliang, exchanging veils between women is to recognize each other as good friends for life, you ...... Don't you want to? β
"How could it be! I'm willing. Ruoxi laughed very happily, exhaled two balls of white gas, took her veil and solemnly folded it and put it into her sleeve, touched it on her body for a long time, and then found an old yellow gourd, which was still a gourd taken from Xinglin Mountain, wiped it carefully with her sleeve, and handed it to her, "I don't have a veil to give you, give this thing to you." β
"Hulu?"
"Yes, in our Central Plains, the meaning of the gourd is the meaning of peace, I hope you can be safe and secure for the rest of your life, peace is the greatest blessing, right?" Ruoxi asked as if she was tentative, and sure enough, a trace of uneasiness flashed in Martha's eyes when she heard her say this, and she raised her face and smiled, "You are right, I will also pray to Allah for your peace." β
Ruoxi smiled and waved goodbye to Martha.
On the way back, Ruoxi walked slowly with her head down, she found a secret from Martha's performance just now, perhaps, this may just be her guess, but she really felt a dangerous smell just now, as if she was seeing the princess of the moon in the house, they were too quiet, too friendly, everything was true and beautiful. Touching the veil that Martha handed her in her sleeve, Ruoxi secretly speculated in her heart about the reason why their master and servant acted like this, on the other hand, she also felt that it was not just the two of them, in fact, who in this golden silk cage-like imperial city was not wearing seven or eight layers of veils and countless masks? Isn't that true of herself? The fingers inadvertently touched her cheeks, touching the cold and temperatureless touch, the kind of dead silence without vitality, ah, by the way, now it's the end of winter, and she has been in the capital for three months, time really flies, but ......
Have you forgotten your original intention when you first came?
The hellish fire of Shura burned the world and destroyed the earth, as if her innocent innocence was also taken away, and that memory seemed to be covered by the peace and tranquility of the recent days, and was gradually forgotten in the corner of memory. However...... How could she forget? How could you forget!
Can't go on like this! She clenched her palms so tightly that she didn't even notice her nails digging into the flesh, and her frozen fingers didn't feel any pain. She's here for revenge! No one can stop that!
"Creek."
Her footsteps froze, and she looked indifferently at the place where the voice in front of her came from, at this time, this place, how could it be him?
Wei Sa obviously understood the question in her eyes, and smiled softly, her white teeth bare. Exposed in the cold wind, Rumo's long hair still maintained the traces that Ruoxi had just combed, but at this moment, it was blown by the wind, and it was scattered into the air one after another.
"Your Highness?"
"Surprised why this king is here?" Wei Sa grabbed her thin waist with one hand, and then the fox fur on her body shook and wrapped her in, along with her own body temperature.
Bao Yan rubbed his frozen red nose, jumping listlessly, he was also very cold, this eccentric-eyed His Highness didn't know how to block himself from the wind, and he still grew up with him.
"You have been gone for so long and have not come back, Your Highness is worried that something will happen to you, so I came here to wait." Anyway, he doesn't hurt him, so he just debunks him directly, and Bao Yan can say the answer as quickly as possible.
"Mouthy." Wei Sa really glanced at him.
Ruoxi lowered her eyelashes and stared at the frozen sturdy ground under her feet, and hesitated when she had just made up her mind......
Will no one be able to stop her from taking revenge? Looking up from his arms and seeing the bags under his tired eyes, Ruoxi was silent, walking side by side with the men beside him on this night of slaughter.
