Chapter 69: Caught Up

After eating a rich and delicious meal, under the guidance of the two maids Xia Cao and Dongmei arranged by King Luo, I came to Mingyue Tower, Mingyue Tower is in a small courtyard not far from the Qingxin Palace, it is a two-story building, the small building is surrounded by greenery, it is very quiet.

Natsukusa smiled and asked me, "Do you want to rest now, girl, or wait a while?" ”

I said, "Wait a minute, I'll take a tour." ”

I never dreamed that someone like me would use a maid, it's incredible. I originally told King Luo that I didn't need to, but King Luo insisted on letting them follow me, and I could only be disrespectful. That summer grass looks smart and lively, and Dongmei looks quiet and steady, and the two complement each other.

I entered the Mingyue Building, and the first thing that caught my eye was the quartych of landscape paintings hanging in the middle hall. The peak of the cliff rises from the ground, and an ancient pine stands alone on the top of the peak, looking at the clear stream below the mountain. Each piece has a different shape of the mountain peaks, and if it is taken out separately, it is also a painting, and when it is connected together, it can form a complete landscape painting. It can be seen that the painter's brushwork is quite skillful.

Beneath the landscape painting is a set of sandalwood tables and chairs carved with delicate patterns. Looking around, I found that this small building was full of paintings, most of which were landscapes, flowers and birds.

On the east side of the room there is a large rosewood table with various pen, ink, paper and inkstones, and behind the table is a one-man high shelf, which is full of calligraphy and picture scrolls. I walked into the table, and there was a figure painting on it. Painting a beautiful woman in palace costume, she smiled, her smile was so charming, both dignified and beautiful and gentle and moving, which made people unconsciously want to be close.

I pointed, "This is?" ”

Xia Cao replied, "It's the prince's biological mother, Concubine Duan." ”

I asked, "Where does the concubine live?" Shouldn't I have a visit? ”

Xia Cao and Dong Mei both lowered their heads. Dongmei said softly: "The concubine is gone. ”

I was silent. After a while, he asked, "Who lives in this room?" ”

Xia Cao said: "No one lives, this is the prince's painting building, and the prince sometimes takes a nap upstairs when he is tired." ”

King Luo actually arranged me in his painting building? I thought of a question and asked, "Won't such a big palace be lived by the prince alone, right?" ”

Dongmei nodded and said, "Well, so to speak, as long as the master is the prince, the rest are our servants and guards." ”

Oh, living alone in such a luxurious mansion! I don't know whether to envy him or sympathize with him, it must be lonely to live alone in such a big place. I pointed up, "I'm going upstairs and have a look?" Where to go up? ”

Xia Cao pointed to the screen painted with light smoke and flowing water on the west side, and said, "The stairs are there, and I will accompany the girl to go up." ”

I stepped on the wooden stairs gently, trying not to make a sound, I felt that I was so incompatible with this place at this time, I felt a little sullen in my heart, how could a person like me deserve to live in such a good place?

Upstairs, there is only a finely carved wooden dental bed and a set of tables and chairs, and the bed is draped with a blue veil, and you can faintly see the brocade quilt incense inside.

I walked to the window, opened it, and the cool breeze blew, which was very pleasant. I opened my arms and took a deep breath, the depression in my heart slowly dissipated. It doesn't matter if he is the emperor or not, the prince is not the prince! What deserves it or not, it's not what I want to stay here!

I walked to the bed and lifted the veil, and Xia Cao hurriedly reached out to take it, "Girl, I'll come." ”

Xia Cao hung the veil on the silver hook, and I turned my back to the big bed, straight down, so soft, so comfortable! I really don't want to get up.

At this time, Dongmei's voice came from downstairs, and I had to get up, "The prince is auspicious!" ”

"Well, get up, where is Miss Satsuki?" It was King Luo, I hurriedly got up and walked to the stairs, ready to go downstairs, Xia Cao followed me closely.

"Go back to the prince, upstairs, the slave and maid will call her."

"No need!"

I came to the top of the stairs and was about to go down, when King Luo was about to go upstairs, he saw me coming down, stopped, and smiled at me. The smile was so warm that it melted all the ice. Is he still the same him?

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a man hit me on the back, and I was unsteady on my feet, and rolled down the stairs.

I was about to roll to the ground when a pair of strong arms caught me, and I rolled into a warm embrace.

Xia Cao's panicked voice sounded behind him, "The slave should die, the slave doesn't know that the girl will stop, please punish the prince." ”

King Luo frowned and ignored it, looked at me, and said in a gentle voice, "Did it hurt to fall?" ”

I wrenched out of his embrace and stood up, taking two steps with a slight pain in my ankle. I was afraid that he would blame Xia Cao, so I held back the pain and smiled, "It's okay." ”

I looked at Xia Cao, who was still kneeling upstairs, "The prince let Xia Cao get up, she didn't mean it." ”

King Luo smiled at me, "Okay." He said to Xia Cao, "Get up." Don't be reckless like this in the future. ”

Xia Cao ran downstairs, knelt in front of us, and kowtowed three times, "Thank you, Lord Wang, thank you Miss Xiaoyue." ”

Wang Luo waved his hand and said, "You two should retreat first." ”

Xia Cao and Dongmei lowered their heads and retreated.

I was stunned, what did he mean?

King Luo showed a caring look and said, "Did you really not fall?" ”

I laughed and said, "Didn't you just ask?" ”

"I see that you walked a little unnaturally just now, are you afraid that I will punish Xia Cao, so you didn't say it. Come on, I'll see. ”

I hurriedly stepped back, "It's really fine." ”

He no longer insisted, "Then I'll help you over there and sit down." ”

"Hmm."

He helped me to sit in one chair while he sat in another.

He just smiled at me and didn't mean to speak.

The atmosphere was a little delicate, and in order to alleviate the embarrassment, I pointed to the paintings around me and said, "Are these all painted by you?" ”

"Hmm."

"The prince is so powerful, he can actually draw such a good picture!"

"Do you think I'm good at drawing?"

I nodded heavily.

"Thank you." He smiled apologetically, "I've wronged you by letting you live here." I don't have any girls here, so there's no place for girls to live. I'm going to have to put you here for the time being. ”

So that's it! I hurriedly said, "It's good here, it's just too good, I'm a little unused to it,"

King Luo smiled, "After a long time, I will get used to it." I'll have someone clean it up tomorrow. ”

I hurriedly said, "Don't bother. Why don't you let me live somewhere else? ”

"How can that work......

He suddenly put away his smile and looked at me, "Satsuki! ”

"Huh?"

"Can I call you that?"

I laughed, "Of course you can." ”

He looked me in the eye and suddenly said, "I'm sorry. ”

I was stunned, why did he say sorry? He doesn't have anything to do with me?

"I apologize to you for hiding your identity all the time."

I hurriedly said, "Huh? Lord, don't say that, you were forced to do so at the time, I understand. "In that case, he really should have concealed his identity.

The clear eyes showed a strange brilliance. "I'm glad you understand me."

The brilliance slowly dimmed, "But I still have to apologize to you." It really wasn't my intention to leave like that yesterday. I actually hope that the two of you can go back as soon as possible and leave the capital as a place of right and wrong. I really don't want you to be swept up in it. He sighed softly, "Now, you're still being swept up. It seems that Brother Huang doesn't plan to let you go for the time being. ”

"Involved? What do you mean? ”
