Chapter 21: Waves Again
"Come and sit." Bei Yuliang also said casually.
In front of me, a woman moved to the side and beckoned me to sit there.
The people sitting here are all high-ranking officials and nobles with status, and it is indeed a little impolite for a little palace maid to sit there, but at this time, it seems too contrived to stick to these small sections.
When I walked over and learned from them to sit on the ground, I found that the woman who gave me a seat next to me was actually the girl in yellow who was with King Ling Ran.
At this moment, I am bending my moon-like eyes, I feel a little unnatural, don't look over your head and pretend to look elsewhere, who would have thought that the person on the right side is actually cold, it is really unfavorable, and the road is narrow.
"Miss Sujin, my name is Ruxue, I met today, do you remember?" Her voice was immature and good, and I was afraid that she would say something more, so I hurriedly nodded and said I remembered. "You're really good, how did you do that piercing ring?"
Ruxue gestured with her hands, excited like a child. "By the way, you can't dance? And what about singing? β
Before I could answer the previous question, she asked a series of more questions, probably realizing that she was too noisy, and stuck out her tongue mischievously.
"Slightly furried." Four words answered her briefly, but she was unaware of the obvious sense of alienation.
"You can dance too, why don't I know anything...... It's a shame. She muttered, pouting again, very cute.
"Aren't you a good handwriter?" Rin suddenly replied coldly, which scared me into a shock.
Ruxue exhaled and said, "But that's nothing at all." β
I suddenly became interested in this girl named Ruxue, this girl's words and deeds can make people feel that she is a rare simplicity, of course, it is not excluded that it is the result of deliberate disguise.
Not only does she have an extraordinary relationship with King Ling Ran, but she is also very familiar with Rin, if she is really innocent, she can be a good chess piece.
"I don't know, who is Miss Ruxue's father?" I interrupted their conversation.
Ruxue grinned and said, "The Ministry of Rites, Zhao Chenghao." β
It turned out to be the queen's mother's family, and Zhao Ruxue should be the queen's cousin, no wonder she was qualified to participate in the hunt.
"Hunting is much more fun than in the palace, and the women in the palace are as polite as my cousin and frightening. One by one and delicate like a flower, now I know you, I will often come to play with you in the future, do you teach me archery? Ruxue said with a wink.
"Miss Ruxue is polite, Su Jin naturally does her best."
As soon as the afterglow turned, Mu Han's gaze was being cast here, and when he met my gaze, he turned away indifferently and gently snuggled up to Bei Yuliangyi.
I don't know who said a word about dancing to help the fun, Bei Yuliang also asked Mu Han if he was willing to dance, Mu Han bowed his head shyly, and didn't say whether he would go or not.
Concubine Lian wrung the handkerchief in her hand and snorted coldly: "I can't get on the table." β
The sound was not loud, but everyone present could hear it, and the atmosphere was a little tense, and Ruxue turned his head blankly, not knowing what to do.
"Since everyone is unwilling, then let Nata come, in the words of your Central Plains - throwing bricks and leading jade." Nata stood in the inner circle, her red dress dazzling and charming in the light of the fire.
I don't know where the drums came from, and the dance steps of Nata, the cumbersome ornaments collided to make a crisp sound.
The dance of Mongolia is different from that of the Central Plains, and there is also the shyness of the youngest daughter's family among the heroics, waving her hands and turning in circles, her face is the most sincere smile in the foreign land, and the shallow pear vortex on her right cheek is looming.
After jumping for a while, she reached out and pulled up Bei Yuliang and Mu Han next to her, and said everyone together while jumping. Bei Yuliang also seemed to be infected by this atmosphere, and he also circled with her, and the Son of Heaven got up, how could we people have a reason not to get up.
So everyone got up and danced to the beat of the drums, and those who could dance and those who couldn't dance imitated Nata's appearance to learn the Mongolian dance.
Ruxue laughed happily and pulled me around in a circle, but I didn't expect that a little girl who looked soft and weak had a lot of strength, and suddenly pushed me out without grabbing her hand, and she turned around a few times on the ground dizzily, and bumped into a person.
Raising my eyes, my inky pupils did not have a trace of emotional fluctuations, my hand rested on his shoulder, and my brain reacted so quickly that it withdrew its hand.
Seeing my embarrassed appearance, the corners of my lips turned up for the first time and smiled, like a ray of light after the cold winter, bright and dazzling.
"Su Jin, Su Jin, are you okay, I really didn't mean to." Ruxue ran over.
"It's fine." I responded, turning back to my place.
Toss until midnight, and everyone disperses.
Mu Han took a maid, I followed her silently, and when I walked to the front of the bedroom, she suddenly turned around and looked at me fixedly.
She held out a finger and slid it from my forehead to the tip of my nose.
"Now that I'm veiled, I realize that your eyes don't look good. It's justβ" the words turned, "and it can only be veiled, you know." β
She was a warning, and it couldn't have been more obvious. Although I know that the two of us will become like this one day, I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart after all, it is I who pushed her to this position, and it is I who made her who is now on guard everywhere, and I can't complain about others.
"The slave understands."
After tossing and turning all night, I lit the lamp, took the gray and black palace suit that was no longer in shape and soaked it in a wooden barrel, and now I wash it, and it is estimated that it will be dry tomorrow morning.
Rummaging through the package, there was only a smoke-colored shirt, somewhat old and looking old. The neckline is embroidered with plain white hibiscus, which is lifelike.
Before my mother's death, Nuhong has always been one of the best in the city, and she likes to embroider some hibiscus on my clothes, saying that the hibiscus is the most beautiful in the water, just like her daughter.
It's a pity that I didn't learn how to embroider hibiscus, and she left forever and never came back.
Tuck my clothes into the innermost layer, I'm afraid to see these things, and when I see them, I will remember the past, and my heart will waver, and I can only calm my mind if I don't look at it.
Holding the wooden bucket to the outside of the bamboo building, soaking both hands in cold water makes people feel extraordinarily sober.
In the distance, there was a person standing on the bamboo tower opposite, with a desolate figure.
Looking closely, under the moonlight is a bright yellow dress, and this color is only Bei Yuliangyi who dares to wear it.
I watched as I washed, and noticed that he was also motionless in this direction.
I was so confused that I washed it casually and hung it on the railing.
At this time, when he looked up again, he was no longer in the same place, leaving only an empty pavilion.
At this time, the sky was already numb, lying on the bed, closing my eyes and taking a small rest, and after a while, I fell into a deep sleep.
The light flickered on and off, and my eyes were sour and unbearable, and when I got used to the light, there was a noise in my ears.
On the cold ground knelt a girl who was covered in embarrassment, her left cheek was wrapped in gauze that had not been washed for a long time, and the gauze was stained with blood mixed with pus. Her body and hands were covered with whiplashes, large and small, some of which had healed and some of which had not yet healed.
"It's really not me, I didn't sell the prescription, I'm not a thief. Big lady, you know, it's not me, it's really not me. The maiden climbed up to a richly dressed woman with her hands and feet, and put her hands around her ankles.
The woman kicked her away, her thin body like a withered leaf on the ground a few times, and with tears in her eyes, she put her knuckles to her lips, and breathed hot air to relieve the pain.
"You're just like your mother, you're cheap. Kill your mother and still want to put the blame on me? The aunts behind the woman covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and laughed.
The girl did not dare to speak, and curled up.
"What capital do you have to shout at me? Everyone knows that you are an ugly monster, and you still have the face to betray our Liu family? The woman turned to the man drinking tea on the high seat and said, "Master, what do you say to do with this little slut?" β
The man frowned, threw his sleeves and left, leaving a sentence for you to look at.
The girl tried to get up and shouted, "Daddy, daddy." β
But the man never looked back.
"It's better to break her fingers like this, and then drive her out of the Liu family." The language is mean and extremely decisive.
The hands were handcuffed to the stone table, and when the stones fell down, it was a heart-rending pain, and perhaps there was nothing more painful in the world, the heart hurt, and the body hurt.
She was thrown out like that, and it rained so heavily, maybe she died like this, and even if she did, she didn't find it, and no one took pity on her.
The dazzling sunlight shone in, and when I woke up from a dream, my cheeks were full of tears.
Stretching out my fingers, Qianqian is fair, I remember that when I was a child, my favorite thing was to touch the piano, but now even if my aunt tries her best to connect the hand bones, she can't play the piano in this life.
I know how much I hate them, I hate them, eat their flesh and pill their bones
Maybe I should thank them for giving me a new lease of life, even if I stepped on a lot of bones.
The clothes hanging outside are still a little damp, so dress them haphazardly, put on a veil, and hide all the emotions that should not be revealed.
The former Liu Sujin has long since died, and he will not reminisce or miss again.
Everyone outside was ready to go, talking and laughing, the guards led the horses, and it was still the red coward from yesterday, a little helpless, but they still took the reins.
The quiver was loaded with ten more arrows, and it was heavy.
Ruxue changed into a narrow-sleeved outfit and looked very energetic.
Turning over and getting on the horse, I had some palpitations.
"Miss Sujin said she was going to win Nata?" Nata smiled and asked, "So, you'll see it today?" β
I nodded, in response.
"By the way, yesterday the six princes didn't hit a single prey, because they deliberately didn't want Nata to choose you." Yu Feng aimed at Beiyu Jinchen, and he was also a little stunned. "If it's like this today, Nata can't let you go easily."
Beiyu Jinchen lowered his head and smiled, but did not speak.
However, a burst of laughter broke out in the crowd, and King Yongyi reached out and patted Beiyu Jinchen's shoulder, raising his eyebrows to hint.
I also smiled, but I saw that Bei Yuliang was also looking at me, the indescribable emotion in his eyes, he didn't laugh with everyone, and my smile was frozen at the corner of my mouth, I don't know whether to laugh or retreat.
