Chapter Seventy-Eight: Lady Talk
At night, Dongfang Luoqi was drinking sullen wine alone in the palace.
He didn't want to go to the fireworks field to have fun, because the more noisy the environment, the more lonely he felt.
Before you know it, it's dawning.
The more you drink, the more sober you become.
When the sun came out, he still didn't want to sleep.
Early in the morning, Fushang said goodbye and left.
She glanced back at Dongfang Luoqi, who was holding a wine jug and getting drunk, and had mixed feelings in her heart. At this moment, she felt a little pity for this noble prince.
When Fushang arrived at the Nine Hidden Pavilion, she saw Lan Zijin sitting in the house drinking tea, who was also lonely.
"Zijin, what's wrong?"
Seeing Fushang's arrival, Lan Zijin returned with a smile: "You're here, it's nothing." β
Fu Sheng sat down beside her, refilled a cup of tea for her, and said, "What can you tell me, I guess, it's for Lord Luo Qi, right?" β
Lan Zijin knew that Fushang was a delicate girl, so it was not strange for her to guess her thoughts, but she still asked, "How do you know?" β
"Yesterday, the prince returned to the palace and has been drinking, and now he is too. I can tell that he has affection for you. Fushang also poured herself a cup of tea and blew the hot air on the tea surface.
"I know. However, I don't feel that way about him. What I love is Dongfang Luoyu. But he is Dongfang Luoyu's younger brother, and I know that what I should do is to keep my distance from him. But when I saw his lonely back, my heart was still so uncomfortable. β
Fushang doesn't understand the love between men and women, but she understands what Lan Zijin said. She didn't know how to persuade her, so she only said: "Perhaps, keep your distance, and the prince will let go." β
"I don't know if I want him to let go, maybe one day he does, and for him, it's just one less person who makes his heart ache. But for me, it's one less bond. By then, we may not even be friends anymore. β
"How can it be, even if the prince puts it down, you can still be friends."
Fushang's words, in Lan Zijin's eyes, were naΓ―ve. She smiled at Fushang and said, "Hmm." By the way, are you still used to coming to the East? β
Fushang nodded and said, "Very good, I don't have to work so hard for slaves and maids, and besides, now that I have you by my side, I won't feel so lonely." β
"That's good, I may not be able to make you rich, but as long as I have a bite to eat, I will definitely have your share."
Fushang put down the teacup and stood up and walked to Lan Zijin's side, saying, "Zijin, your hair is even redder than before." β
"Probably, this is my life."
Fushang didn't know what Lan Zijin meant, she didn't know Lan Zijin's life, but if she wanted to say it, she was willing to be her listener.
"Zijin, I'll help you comb your hair."
"Okay."
Before the makeup, Fushang carefully combed Lan Zijin's hair, and said while combing: "Zijin, although I don't know much about your past, I think you have too many things hidden in your heart, if you can be open-minded and let go of all grievances, maybe you can live a better life." β
Lan Zijin was silent, and she admitted in her heart that she was indeed not open-minded enough.
I only heard Fushang continue: "Zijin, I heard my mother say before, she said that life will not always be sad, as long as you live, everything will be fine." Just like me, in such a difficult situation, I survived. Now, I can accompany you, and I won't have to do so hard and dirty work, so it's already good. There will always be losses in life, and there will be gains and losses. Sooner or later, Prince Luo Qi will let go of this relationship, no matter what the outcome will be in the future, you can't accept his love, right? If he lets go, it's a good thing for him. For you too. You don't overthink it. β
Fushang's words reached Lan Zijin's heart. Indeed, if he let go, it would be good for both.
"Zijin? Are you in the house? Dongfang Luoyu's voice came from the main hall, and Lan Zijin continued: "Luoyu, I'm here." β
After Dongfang Luoyu entered the house, he walked towards Lan Zijin, and Fushang consciously stepped back. Lan Zijin stood up and introduced: "Luo Yu, this is the girl who saved me, Heyi, her twin sister Fushang. β
Dongfang Luoyu looked at Fushang and said, "It turns out that you are Fushang." β
Lan Zijin said to Fushang: "Fushang, he is Dongfang Luoyu." β
After Lan Zijin said that, Fushang knelt down and said, "Slaves and maids see the king." β
"Fushang, didn't you say okay? You're not a slave anymore, you're my friend. β
"Miss Blue, this is the Oriental Palace, the slave and maid can be commensurate with the girl's friends in private, but it is inevitable that they will fall into the mouth in front of people, and in the palace, concubines are not allowed to bring sisters and friends to live together. Therefore, I also asked the girl to let Fushang treat each other politely and be commensurate with her master and servant. β
That's a good point. Zijin, so I can arrange for Fushang to live with you. Dongfang Luo Yu said.
"Oh well. Fleur, get up first. Lan Zijin said that he wanted to step forward and help Fushang get up.
"Blue girl, there is something else to do with the slave."
Lan Zijin was stunned in place and said, "What's the matter?" β
"Your Majesty, the slave and maid dare to ask the king about something." Fu Sheng moved her body slightly, facing Dongfang Luoyu.
"Say it." Oriental Luo Yu Road.
"The slave maid dares to ask the king, what position do you want to give to Miss Lan? Miss Lan will definitely live in the palace for a long time in the future, as a person of the king, she cannot be nameless and shareless, and ask the king to be the master, and the girl will not have to walk around the palace in the future, if she is not so, she will be despised by others. β
Although Lan Zijin didn't think about asking Dongfang Luoyu to give her any position, Fushang was reasonable, she couldn't live in the palace like this, and she didn't want the last incident to happen again.
"The widow has already thought about it, and if he wants to be a concubine, he will take a Luo character for the title. Luo is the name of the widow, and no one will embarrass you in the future. Dongfang Luoyu looked at Lan Zijin and said gently: "I will tell the world and make you a concubine." As for the canonization ceremony, you have the final say, you can do it if you want to, and you don't have to force it if you don't want to. β
Lan Zijin also smiled gently at him, Fu Sheng raised her head just to see this smile, she saw Lan Zijin's eyes, the deep love for Dongfang Luoyu.
"Fushang, you get up first." Lan Zijin said to Fushang.
Dongfang Luoyu looked at Fushang and said, "Fushang, the name is good." The lotus is used as clothes, and the hibiscus is used as clothes. β
"Thank you for the king's praise, the slave and maid retired first."
After Fushang left, Lan Zijin said to Dongfang Luoyu: "Make lotus as clothes, and set hibiscus as clothes." Do you know what my name means? β
"Qingqing Zijin, relax my heart. Is it? β
"Yes."
"Qingqing Zijin, the heart of the widow."
