Chapter 19: The Long Night

Qin Garden. Hibiscus flowers bloom all over the tree, white, pinkish-purple to purple, and bloom like a brocade.

In the house, after the dream bath, the maid Chu'er served and rubbed the incense powder on her body, she sat in front of the bronze mirror, dressed in a peach-colored silk bedclothes, delicate and enchanting, and her face was unconcealed sadness.

The prince cares about the princess more than he cares about the princess day by day, so how can she not worry? She thought that she had taken advantage of the spring and stood out from the crowd, but she didn't know that there was an inconspicuous little flower that was blooming wantonly, and the light was becoming more and more impressive.

Chu'er was combing her master's hair, her eyes were sharp, and she saw that her master had something on her mind, so she slowed down the movements of her hands.

Yin Meng looked at the reflection in the bronze mirror in a daze, she was extremely maintenance, every time she bathed with a lot of freshly picked petals, after bathing, she wiped her body with incense powder, and ordered the maid to smear the fragrance on the waist-high black hair to maintain the hair quality. Her long hair reaches to her waist, which is soft and tender and feels excellent to the touch.

The woman is the one who pleases herself, and she always maintains exquisite and beautiful makeup, in order to leave the most beautiful side in the eyes of the prince. Are there fewer women sent into the palace by the courtiers and officials to woo him? She has seen a few, all of them are young and beautiful, proficient in calligraphy and painting, not vulgar things. In comparison, she was just a little more fortunate to be by his side.

She didn't expect herself to be special, she met outside the world, she was overwhelmed by his bearing, and she was willing to give up her free life to follow him into Beijing, and she didn't even care about her name. What does she want to do in vain? What she wants is to have a place in his heart and be there for a long time.

Now she has finally tasted the taste of being left out. He hadn't come to Qinyuan for several days, and Chu'er told her that he had allowed the princess to enter Mozhuju yesterday and stayed for a while before coming out.

Mozhuju is a forbidden place in the palace, how could the princess not know? It's that she underestimates the seemingly innocent girl too much.

Yin Mengsu pinched a strand of long hair in his hand, no matter how black and bright the ink was, no one would come to appreciate it. Her faint and wandering gaze fell on the hibiscus flowers outside the window, and the night was as cold as water, chilling people's hearts.

"The wind and dew are bleak and the autumn scenery is prosperous, and the poor glory falls in the morning and dusk. There are 3,000 women in Weiyang Palace, but they are red and beautiful. "Hibiscus is easy to fall, and red face is easy to decay. Compared with the princess who lived a wanton and gorgeous life, she has been in her prime for two years.

"Love is declining, love is relaxed. Chu'er, you say, does the prince really have me in his heart? Yin Meng's good-looking brows furrowed, and a layer of green mist was on the ground.

Chu'er reduced the force in her hand and replied: "Miss, don't think too much, if the prince doesn't take Miss to heart, why won't he go to the other ladies' residences for most of the year, but often stay in Qinyuan?" The prince treats Miss Wang is unique. ”

Yin Meng smiled and laughed at himself: "Yes, he treats me differently. In front of me, he never concealed his likes and dislikes, temperament, when he was in a good mood, he invited me to stroke the piano and paint, and when he was bad, he walked away with his sleeves up, showing no mercy. ”

Her hand clenched a golden step about two fingers long, the slender hairpin is a hibiscus pattern made of silver wire, at this time the fine silver wire is embedded in the palm, a few bean-sized blood beads appeared, down the white wrist, but she doesn't seem to feel pain, the woman in the bronze mirror is a little more enchanting: "I am his woman, but not his wife." ”

When Chu'er saw it, she hurriedly stepped forward and took out the step shake from the master's hand, she spread out the master's delicate hand, and there were more dazzling blood marks in the depths of her palm, she was a little distressed and persuaded: "Miss, why is this so painful?" ”

Yin Meng was stunned, and said with tears in his eyes: "He treats me differently, but only she is the love of his heart." What is the use of a woman becoming her husband's confidant without love? I'm not willing to lose to her, Chu'er, I'm really unwilling. ”

"Because I love him, I can't hate him, I can only swallow the bitterness, swallow it into my stomach, the pain caused by this bitterness gnaws at my heart day by day, I am not happy, I can't sleep alone, the night is so long, it is unbearable."

Chu'er squatted down, her white little face was more firm, and she said in front of Yin Meng: "Miss think about what she gave up her free life outside the Saiwai for, as long as she stays by the prince's side, is Miss still afraid that she won't be able to keep the prince's heart?" Only the young lady is the one who knows the prince best. ”

The pretty maid's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness that did not match her age: "The slave will never let the princess bully the young lady." ”
