Chapter 71 Sad Journey - Dead Star (3)
Further inside, there are palaces. Outside most of the palace gates, there are bronze tripods standing on the left and right sides, and the palace pavilions are all finely carved, beautiful and extraordinary or magnificent atmosphere, which is really pleasing to the eye.
Akau's expression at this moment was really dumbfounded. Her mouth has become O-shaped, and her eyes have become brass bells. After all, I've never seen anything like it.
"Gee, how much do you waste all this decoration?"
The general smiled proudly: "What a waste of money, I'm afraid you haven't seen the treasures in the basement yet." The thousands of years of war of my great merchants have beaten the small countries around me to the ground, and the treasures and beauties they have offered are far beyond your imagination. ”
Akhao doesn't think it's something to be proud of.
"It seems that my father is right, the king is really not a good person, I am really in the oil pot......" she muttered quietly.
"What did you say, girl?" The general frowned deeply, tilted his head, and looked at her with slanted eyes.
"I said, I'm really in a sweet nest! Hahaha. ”
"Girl, there is something that the little one has to remind you. Our king's suspicion is not ordinary. If you want to please the king, it's best not to say something that upsets the king. Otherwise, they will be beaten into the cold palace at least and killed at worst. ”
"Yes, I see, thank you for reminding me."
"Actually, no thanks. It's just that if the girl develops in the future and becomes a concubine, please don't forget the little one. The general's smile gradually flattered.
"Yes, yes, if I develop in the future, I will definitely not forget you. It's just that I have to have that ability. ”
The general couldn't speak back when he choked on a word.
The two of them walked awkwardly for a while, and came to a beautiful and atmospheric palace.
"Girl, this is your palace."
Outside the temple stood six maids and two servants. There is also a palace maid who looks obviously different from the people around her.
"This woman looks different from the people around her, who is she?"
"Back to the girl, this is a Persian slave girl caught in the barracks of Sparta."
Ah Kao nodded: "I see...... She is so miserable, she is so beautiful, but she has to be a slave girl for the rest of her life, and she can't stay with her beloved. ”
"What's so tragic about this! This is her life, and it is also her blessing to be able to serve her future mother. ”
"However, after all, she was uprooted from her homeland and could not be reunited with her relatives."
"Let me remind you again, girl, in this palace, you must not overflow with compassion, otherwise, you will be the last to be sympathized! Here, who is not a jackal, tiger and leopard? Just talk about me, though I'll tell you the truth now. It was only because you were willing to enter the palace to serve the king that I changed my attitude and scolded you like I am now. If you had been crying as bitterly as you had been at Xibohou's house, I would have tied you up with a rope now. ”
"So, why are you so nice to me now?"
"I'm good to you and for myself. Once you fly on the branches, the villain who gave you advice will not be remembered by you. When the time comes, the benefits you will give me will definitely be indispensable. ”
"You're pretty smart."
Akhao stroked the pillars and floor tiles of the main hall, which were really good materials. It's a waste to live alone in such a palace and be served by so many people.
After a round of sightseeing, the general said, "Girl, if you have seen enough, I will take you in." Inside, there will be court maids and slave girls waiting for you to freshen up. When you're ready, I'll take you to the king. “
"Okay, you can wait outside
The general was speechless at the words of the future lady, but he couldn't say anything.
Akhao was dragged into the bedroom by two palace maids.
"Wow." Her eyes were drawn to what was in front of her.
The dazzling beads swayed and sparkled.
The rouge gouache is arranged in two rows, and the lid has not yet been lifted, but it is already fragrant.
There are also several sets of dresses. There are two sets of simple plain dresses, and nine sets of sophisticated dresses.
The palace maid Hongyuan showed her rouge gouache.
"Miss Daji, these are gouaches of different shades and rouge of different colors, let the slave family try on your makeup."
"yes, okay." At this moment, Akhao was dazzled by these cosmetics, and almost forgot that he was about to face the king.
The off-white gouache is lightly applied to the skin, the pale red rouge is applied to the delicate lips, and two other points are taken and scratched at the two outer corners of the eyes.
Akhao looked at himself in the bronze mirror, his skin was like porcelain, his eyes were like stars, and his lips were like petals, like the fairy in the painting.
"Miss Daji is really naturally beautiful, just light makeup can be so beautiful and moving."
"Then do we still want to paint palace makeup for Miss Daji?"
"I feel like the girl is wearing heavy makeup, which will hide her amazing talent."
The palace ladies were talking about it.
The Persian palace maid suddenly spoke: "That's it, let Miss Daji put on light makeup to see the king." It will definitely make the king's heart flutter. The king is used to seeing beauties in palace makeup, and the appearance of Daji girl like this will make the king feel novel. ”
Akhao turned his head, looked at the confident Persian palace maid, and nodded with a smile: "What's your name?" ”
"Back girl, my name is Lina."
"Lina, it's so nice, it's as beautiful as a person."
"Far less than one-ten-thousandth of a girl." Lina owes.
"Then I'll believe you once, and I'll see the king with such makeup."
The palace maid combed the most popular palace bun for Akao, inserted a few beaded hairpins, and finally inserted the jade step shake brought by Akao.
"The girl's steps are delicate and simple, but it matches the girl's temperament."
Akhao smiled.
The maid dressed her in a water-green dress, embroidered with a swirling pattern.
After all the makeup was done, Ah Kao went out of his dormitory and saw the general again.
The general was almost stunned: "Let's go, girl." ”
Soon, we arrived at the king's palace.
"All right, girl, this is the king's bedchamber, go in and see the king yourself. I won't say much about small nonsense, please take care of yourself. ”
"I'm tired."
Akhao walked into the palace gently, only to see the door in the middle half-hidden, and two palace maids guarding outside.
When they saw Ah Kao, they smiled slightly: "You are Miss Daji, please come in." ”
Akhao nodded and pushed the door open. What was exposed in front of him was the back of a young man.
"Eh, you're Your Royal Highness, right, what about your father?"
The boy looked back slowly.
Akau's whole body seemed to be stiff, and the blood of his whole body flowed to the top of his head, and his head seemed to be thunder and lightning, shaking his heart. She stood there, motionless, her eyes full of peerless tenderness. She looked directly at the man in front of her: "Are you, Young Master Yin?" ”
A short sentence contains too much longing and sadness. In her tone, there is clearly a sky full of peach blossoms blooming and whirling, which contains the pain of love that has been unspeakable for a long time.
I really didn't expect to see my sweetheart here - on the March River embankment, on the willow bank, a young man in green clothes, as gentle as the moon, and as passionate as the July sun.
On that day, Yin Gongzi and his men's self talked about their life ideals, and the two were so close to each other.
She remembered it all, the reason why she was clamoring to divorce Daji before was because she fell in love with Yin Gongzi.
At this time, the man also stared at Akhao tightly: "You...... How do you know that I call myself Yin Gongzi to the outside world? I don't remember ever meeting you. ”
A trace of pain passed through Akau's heart.
"Uh, uh, yes...... Ahh When you saw me, I wasn't dressed the same way I am now, so you probably don't remember me. Akhao scratched his head. Thinking about it, when I met Yin Gongzi that day, I was dressed in men's clothes, and my face was painted with various shadows showing masculinity, which must be very different from now.
The man smiled, like a spring breeze.
At this time, Akor made a calculation in his heart. Now in this palace, what I see is not the king, but Yin Gongzi, Yin Gongzi must have something to do with the Yin family, indicating that he is related to the king. Could it be that the king has long since died, and Gongzi Yin is secretly managing the government on behalf of the king?
In this case, if you marry into the palace, won't you be able to be with Gongzi Yin? Isn't that just earning?
In the midst of the snickering, the man made a gesture to himself: "Miss Daji, if you are ready, please follow me to the king." ”
"What? Is the king still alive? Akhao was poured a basin of cold water by reality, "Isn't it......"
"yes. Although the king was slightly unwell, he was still healthy. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Pingyi, and I am also a member of the royal family, and my mother's surname is Yin, and she is the cousin of the king. Not long ago, when the king came to my house, he saw that I was clever and clever, and he took me into the palace and ordered me to serve him. “
"Oh, that Yin Gongzi, no, Pingyi Gongzi, please take me to meet him." Her face instantly changed from red to depressed and decadent.
Pingyi was amazed at the rapid change in his attitude, and praised him again and again: "If Miss Daji masters the method of survival, with her superb facial expression skills, she will definitely be able to be favored in the harem." “
When Akau heard this, he was really sad. She thought to herself: Pingyi, Pingyi, do you know that the person I love is you?
She had to say stiffly: "Hmph, I don't want to be favored by the king, and I don't like his arrogant and tyrannical people who like lewd pleasures." ”
"Well, actually, before I entered the palace, I thought he was that kind of person. However, it was not until I came to him that I realized that he was no different from the courtiers who accused him of tyranny. ”
"Oh? So who are they? ”
"Mortals, ordinary people."
"How?"
"They are in high positions of power, so naturally they value their own power very much. Therefore, the king and his ministers would poke and frame each other for the sake of power. At the same time, it is precisely because they have a certain amount of power that they appear arrogant. In this world, in the eyes of their class, this is normal. ”
"So, none of them are good people?"
That can also be understood in this way. But, it can also be said that none of them are so bad. Why don't you think about the good thing? “
"Because, since I was a child in the barracks, I have seen too many burning, killing and looting, and I have seen how slaves are treated cruelly. Although it was small at the time, it left an indelible mark on my memory. Ah Kao smiled wryly, "Actually, I've always had a strange dream, do you want to hear it?" ”
