The little maid dodged and retreated, only then did she see the two beautiful people behind her.

The moon is white and dyed with ink brocade, the black hair is half tied with a silver hollow hair crown, and the cold face exudes the breath of being unapproachable like the snow in winter, but the eyes are like a pool full of stars to bring a gentleness that does not match the temperament.

It turns out that this is the King of Nanjing who I listen to every day, Su Yanqing.

And the woman next to her, the legendary queen, has a better appearance than she can compare.

She was also dressed in a moon-white ink-dyed dress, and wanted to come to Nanjing to be thrifty, so she dressed up lightly and dustily, with a pearl pendant on her forehead, and the delicate luster of the gorgeous soft white reflected her delicate and small facial features, and the light ink pupils were hidden under the eyelashes. The slight frowning brow added a little pity to me.

It's a pity that although she smiled, there was no trace of emotion in her eyes, and her regular steps and gestures were like a marionette.

I don't know what my relationship with King Nanjing is, thanks to him for being so careful. But in the end, there is no blood relationship, and how should his queen think about it.

After I had learned from Xiuxiu and they had made a non-standard greeting, the queen stepped forward to support me.

"Better?" Her timbre is calm, different from the ordinary girl's voice.

"Queen Xie takes care of it, it's already better, and after removing the gauze, I can move around normally." I responded to her politely, withdrew my arm without a trace, and leaned on Xia Xiying.

She looked at me carefully and said, "What a beautiful embryo, I have seen your true face for the first time in half a year." ”

"The queen has won awards, and in terms of appearance, Chu Hibiscus ......" is always a little awkward when she thinks of her name." Hatsuhibiscus will never be able to catch up with you. ”

"I heard that you are almost cured, I have a gift for you." The king of Nanjing should have called himself lonely, but when it came to me, it became the word "I".

He ordered a rosewood box to be presented, and the gold-rimmed ribbon was wound around the seal and tied into a knot.

When I took the box, I could feel the heavy weight, untie the ribbon, and there was a small bow on the dark purple velvet brocade pad, and the back of the bow was made of hollow silver-plated yellow wood, although it was hollow but also heavier due to the silver-plated weight, and there was a pair of bells hanging at the end, although it was a bell, but there was no inner core, and there was no sound when the bow was drawn.

I thought he would give some kind of clothes and hair accessories, or gold and silver, but it was actually a bow.

In fact, what I need more is gold and silver, and the palace in Nanjing always makes me feel strange and depressing, and I have to leave here and find the place where my memories originate.

But if I want to leave the palace, I have no money, and food, clothing, shelter and transportation are all problems.

"I ...... Can shoot arrows? Looking at Xia Xiying suspiciously, she smiled and nodded in affirmation.

"A hundred steps through the Yang." He rubbed the top of my head again. "After lunch, let Xiying take you around, and come over to accompany you later."

I glanced slightly awkwardly at the Queen, who seemed to be aware of anything, with a stiff and dignified curvature of her lips throughout.

"These teas are considered gifts to you, the king's gifts are ingenious and precious, and the palace does not dare to steal the limelight." Xia Xiying respectfully took four small jars with white jade thin tire patterns from the hands of her personal maidservants, and opened them one by one, with a fresh color and a fresh smell. From the precious Lu'an melon slices to the extremely difficult to pick Wushan snow buds, each is a serving.

After greeting for a while, Xiuxiu left with them, leaving only Xia Xiying and a maid named Ruofei.

"Ruofei." I rarely called her, and the little girl couldn't help but be stunned when she heard my voice. "You say, when did I enter this Nanjing Palace?"

She glanced at Xia Xiying timidly, knelt down and replied: "Ruofei doesn't know, Ruofei is new, and the girl was already in this palace when she was assigned here." ”

Sure enough, the same answer I asked when I was in bed, all the palace people were the same, I don't know.

Time is still long, explore slowly, there will always be a result.

The lunch was light, and I always felt unappetizing, and I heard that Xia Xiying would also make a few snacks, so I used this reason to break her up.

Blue brick promenade, jade tile cornice. Nanjing's palaces are also as proud as their kings.

Both sides of the palace road are full of delicate evergreen bonsai, and the palace people are wearing plain and neat palace clothes, performing their duties and concentrating, even if I am walking on crutches and extremely unsteadily on the road, no one deliberately watches.

There are several empty palaces next to the Shuangxue Hall where I live, and the king is only in charge this year, and the queen is the only one in the harem.

Walking further back, I saw that the outside of the hall was full of ivy, and the plaque said Tea House. I heard that the queen loves to come here, because she loves to drink tea, so she specially opened up a small place for drinking tea.

I thought it was funny, but I was afraid of being seen, so I walked very slowly and lightly, without making any big noise.

As soon as he walked outside the door, several palace people came out of it, and the chief eunuch led by him said: "Let's all go down, the king and the queen have ordered that no one needs to serve them." ”

I hurriedly hid behind a few ivy vines, the lush leaves covered most of my body, and I was wearing a green Luo skirt today, so they didn't see me and went to wait outside the tea shop.

Curious, he went around to the window, and although the carved wooden window was half-hidden, he could only hear some sounds and could not see anyone.

The aroma of tea wafts out of the window and lingers on the tip of the nose.

"If you really like it, why don't you give it a name. I pretended to be tired and panicked in your palace, so I got up early to unload this burden and do what I had to do. The Queen's voice was languid and fearless, and it was like the words of the two men when they met in the morning.

However, no one responded, and it took a long time to hear a self-deprecating chuckle.

"The suffering of her life comes from the possessiveness of others. Her appearance when she was young, her kindness before her transformation, her intelligence, decisiveness, and even her viciousness later were all reasons why they wanted her. The words paused slightly, and the sound of the porcelain lid touching the rim of the cup sounded rhythmically. If you had asked me half a year ago, maybe I would have made her the queen of Nanjing, and maybe I would have given up Nanjing and gone into hiding. But after all, she has lost, so whether it is me or him, I just hope that she can live freely and forget the pain of the past, which is enough. ”

He...... Who is he referring to? Confused, I lowered myself a little so that I could hide more secretly.

"This person came to Nanjing for half his life, and he worked hard to let Miss Xiuxiu save her, but he had to entrust it to you, which makes me a little puzzled."

"That's because ......" King Nanjing's voice gradually lowered, "He is afraid of losing again." ”

I felt a pang in my heart, and I couldn't tell what was going on. I wanted to hear more clearly, but the cane in my hand suddenly fell into the garden with a "click".
