At this time, Fengqi Building was crowded with people, and the lobby on the first floor was full of guests who were drinking and having fun. The dancers on the middle stage are dressed in tulle and twist their waists to show off their soft forms to the guests.

Hua Qingrao hung her head on one side, trying not to let the guests see her face as much as possible, and on the other hand, she tried to break free of Zhao Yu's tightly held hand.

She lowered her head and focused all her attention on her hands, not noticing that Zhao Yu suddenly stopped. She slammed into his back, and there was a pain in her forehead.

Zhao Yu looked at her frowning and touching her head, and couldn't help but chuckle. He leaned down and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "If you are so disobedient again, I don't mind letting them know that Prince Mu took everyone's appointed wife around the building." ”

Hua Qingrao glanced at the people sitting in the hall, bit her lip, and said in a low voice: "Qingrao knows." ”

Zhao Yu turned around and pulled her through the lobby from the side and walked up the stairs to the second floor.

The second floor of Fengqi Building is a private room for guests, which is much quieter than the lobby on the first floor. Zhao Yu pulled Hua Qingrao open the door of a room and walked in.

On the innermost side of the room is a Huanghuali Moon Cave Miscellaneous Treasure Bed, on the left side of the bed is three pine, cypress and plum orchid pattern screens, and in the center of the face is a mahogany table of eight immortals. Although the room is not large, it has a unique elegance.

This Fengqi Building has always been crowded with guests, why is there such a vacant room left today.

When Hua Qingrao was puzzled, Zhao Yu let go of her hand, walked to the wall on the left, and took down the landscape painting hanging on it, revealing the white wall underneath.

Hua Qingrao looked closely, and there was a small hole in the wall. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to spot it.

Zhao Yu put the painting in his hand on the table beside him, turned around and beckoned to Hua Qingrao: "Come and take a look." ”

Hua Qingrao frowned slightly and walked slowly to the wall. The hole was neither tall nor short, and it was exactly where her eyes were when she stood up straight.

She turned her head to look at Zhao Yu, who raised his eyebrows and reached out to make a gesture of invitation towards the hole.

Hua Qingrao hesitated for a moment and leaned her eyes closer to the small hole. At first she couldn't see clearly, but with a slight adjustment of her eyes, she was able to see the room on the other side of the wall.

She took a cold breath and jerked her body back, taking several steps backwards in quick succession.

"What are you asking me to do with this?!"

Zhao Yu glanced at her flushed face, turned his head to stare at the small hole, and said in a faint voice: "What? Is this a retreat? ”

Hua Qingrao clenched her fists and gritted her teeth to look at Zhao Yu's breezy appearance. "Lord Wang, when did we have this clause in our agreement."

Zhao Yu heard the annoyance in her words, and he turned around and looked at her. "Then you tell me, in addition to beauty, what capital do you have that can make you capture everyone's hearts. If you can say it, we can turn around and go. ”

Hua Qingrao was full of humiliation at the moment, but she had no words to refute at all. Now she is no longer the lord of Beiyan, and she has no prominent identity, so she has nothing else except this skin.

"There are more beautiful women in the palace, if you just want to rely on this face to gain a foothold in the harem, I still advise you to save your worries." There was an indescribable coldness in his words.

Hua Qingrao looked up at the hole in the wall again, and at the other end of the wall was the next room. The image she had just seen immediately came back to her mind, and she felt full of shame that she had fallen to this point.

After a long silence, she stepped forward. Every step taken is incomparably heavy.

The corners of Zhao Yu's mouth hooked up a smile, "You can live here in the future, and I will handle it for you over there." I'm sure the girl in this building will teach you well. ”

·····

Every day since then, Hua Qingrao has felt extremely tormented, she has never felt that her life will be so dark. Zhao Yu's behavior was undoubtedly throwing her last arrogance on the ground and crushing her with her feet.

Every breath she breathed in the building reminded herself that only revenge could be worthy of the humiliation she had suffered.

On the last night before entering the palace, Grandma Li did not take her to that room as usual, but took her into a carriage after bathing and changing her clothes.

During the whole journey, Grandma Li didn't say a word to Hua Qingrao, and the atmosphere in the whole carriage was dignified.

The carriage stopped, and Grandma Li helped Hua Qingrao get out of the carriage, with endless love in her eyes. Her rough fingers gently stroked Hua Qingrao's cheeks, and said solemnly: "In the future, you have to learn to walk by yourself." The palace is not as good as the outside, grandma can't protect you, everything is careful. ”

Hua Qingrao was stunned, she held Grandma Li's hand with her backhand, "Grandma ·····"

As soon as she called, she was interrupted by Grandma Li's words, "Come in, the master is still waiting." She pushed Hua Qingrao forward with her hand.

Hua Qingrao turned her head to look at Grandma Li, turned around helplessly, and whispered to the maid waiting beside her, "Let's go." ”

The maid took Hua Qingrao into the back door, passed through the path, and walked for a long time before turning into a courtyard. The whole courtyard was brightly lit, and a woman in a goose-yellow gauze dress was standing at the door. She raised her eyes and saw Hua Qingrao coming over, and saluted Hua Qingrao with a cold expression.

"The master is waiting for the girl inside, please here."

Hua Qingrao glanced at her and followed her into a room. The room was very large, the candlelight was dim against the courtyard, and a long screen was in front of you.

The woman in the goose yellow gauze skirt turned to leave, leaving Hua Qingrao standing alone in the room.

Hua Qingrao hesitated for a moment, and walked around the screen. Behind the screen was a huge pool, steaming, and the whole room was white mist. There was a faint aroma in the air, and she had also smelled this smell on Zhao Yu.

She walked along the edge of the pool step by step, and faintly watched in the mist as a man leaned against the pool with his eyes closed. She stopped, lowered her head and saluted, "Qingrao has seen the prince." ”

After a long time, a lazy voice sounded in her ears. "Come here."

Hua Qingrao's body shook for a moment, slowly walked to his side, leaned over and asked respectfully, "The prince doesn't know what to order?" ”

As soon as the words fell, she felt that she was being pulled by the arm and fell into the water with a "plop".
