Truth (92)
Shuxiangzhai is much cleaner because most of the people are gone. I thought there would be a second round soon, but I was told that it wouldn't take place seven days later.
The palace arranged our 30 first-round winners very well, the meal was much better than before, and fruit was added. What makes me happiest is that the natural flowing water bath next to Shuxiang Zhai is also open to us, and I have to say that the welfare treatment here is not bad. The only drawback is that the guards have increased a lot, and every word and deed is under surveillance, and it feels like being under house arrest in this Shuxiangzhai.
I prefer to go to the bath late at night, one reason is that I don't like to have dozens of people bathing together, and besides, I am afraid of running into Qinzhen.
The life of eating, sleeping, and eating every day makes Xiaohong worried.
"Miss can't get fat." Little Nizi reminds me all the time.
"Don't worry, no matter how much you eat, I won't grow as fat as a pig in your young lady." I was joking with her.
She watched helplessly as I continued to eat and drink without an image, and so the three days passed quickly.
That night, I grabbed my bath supplies and walked slowly towards the bath. Listening to the chirping of frogs and insects in the lotus pond along the way, I feel like I am back to nature. The mind is also briefly relaxed at this moment.
When I got to the edge of the bath, I was greeted by a dark shadow. When I got closer, I realized that it was Liu Qin, who was always embarrassed for me. One of her green hairs was tied up with a headband, and the hairpin on her head glittered in the dark night.
When she saw me, she snorted. I didn't even mean to say hello to her. Just as we passed by, she suddenly stopped and said, "You, don't think that Brother Xuanyuan and Brother Xuanli will choose you." ”
I looked around and saw no one else, so I said, "Are you talking to me?" ”
"Pretending. It's stupid that someone like you can participate in the draft. She changed her tone suddenly.
My face changed abruptly: "Draft? Damn, you make it clear, what the hell do you mean? ”
"What's in it? Don't you just want to marry two of the best men in the world? Don't try to fight with me, or I won't let you go. She didn't look at me anymore, just spat out a few words and left.
Looking blankly in the direction she left, my head suddenly became a little dazed, as if every nerve in my body was stimulated by something from the inside out. I crouched down, held my head, and began to filter her words little by little.
It took me a long time before I came to my senses. It's still quiet, and the stars are shining in the night, as beautiful as ever.
No wonder, I always felt that something was wrong. It turned out that he was blindfolded to participate in the draft. I suddenly realized that this is a very serious problem, draft, isn't that just to choose a concubine for Xuanyuan or something? But why did Liu Qin mention Xuanli? Also, was this Zeng Ke's idea? Zeng Ke's identity is now the current emperor, he has this kind of idea, has he made up his mind to do this emperor to the end?
Thinking of this, my heart fluttered for a while.
No matter who the emperor is, I will never treat him as a "little wife". This is the only place where I am sober. Despite the crossing, there are some things that are ingrained in the depths of the mind that will never change.
"Miss, why didn't you take a bath?" Seeing that I came back with my things as they were, Xiaohong asked strangely.
"Xiaohong, you said that if we want to get out of the palace now, can we still get out?" I didn't answer her question, but asked rhetorically.
"Does Miss want to go out of the palace to play?" Red clearly didn't understand my intentions.
"No, just get out." I replied.
"This can't be helped, didn't it be announced a few days ago, but you have to ...... to quit the game halfway" She didn't dare to say any more, but scared to put her hand on her neck and made a gesture of cutting off her head.
"Ouch......" I sighed. I knew that it was not easy to enter the palace, but it would be even more difficult to get out of the palace.
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shone through the window, and I lazily stretched my arms and legs.
"I'm so hungry, I want to eat." I shouted as I always did.
Xiaohong was relieved to see that there was nothing unusual about me, but the expression on her face suggested that she must have thought in her heart, "Miss was probably joking last night." But how did she know that from now on, I was going to torture myself.
The draft must be white and clean, with fine skin and tender meat, so I won't let them get their wish.
On this day, I spent two hours in the sun in the morning and in the afternoon, and then washed my feet with the mud and sand by the pond. After a day of tossing, when Xiaohong saw me again, she looked like a ghost. I laughed in my heart, it seems that I am far away from the standard of a show girl, there is a door!.
I crooked my mouth and was in a good mood. Sitting at the table, he began to eat and drink again.
Being the emperor's woman is what the ladies in this world are looking forward to. But my desire to leave became stronger and stronger. Zeng Ke, I'm really sorry, I really can't stay in this palace anymore, although I used to be so infatuated and worship you. Now you can ask for more blessings.
The next day, I continued to sunbathe by the pond with my eyes closed. But I heard a voice in my ear: "What is my sister doing?" ”
The more I want to avoid some people, the more unsatisfactory they are. I opened my eyes and saw Qinzhen holding an oil-paper umbrella, standing not far from me, alone, and her girl did not follow.
I instinctively stepped back.
"I'll just take a walk, get some fresh air, please!" I laughed and wanted to leave.
"Did my sister offend my sister somewhere, why do you feel that my sister is so cold to me?" Qinzhen had a little stubborn look in her eyes, which made me have to stop.
Countless scenes flashed through my mind. I avoided her eyes and said lightly, "My sister is too careful...... I've only been withdrawn since I was a child...... Not used to making friends with people. ”
"Is that so?" She asked.
I nodded, and she smiled lightly, her smiling face brightening in the sun.
"That's good, I feel like my sister is similar to me in some ways. Why don't you make a friend of mine with my sister? ”
I was shaken by her seemingly sincere smile, and only said after a while: "Thank you for looking up to my sister, but we won't cross paths in a few days, so why should my sister be distracted by me." ”
But I wondered in my heart, did she come here specifically to get close to me?
Now that the words were out, I could not stay any longer, and without waiting for her to reply, I immediately raised my feet and left.
Because of Qinzhen, the task of basking in the sun today has not been completed. When I got back to my room, I opened the window, and just as the sun was shining in, I lay down on the bed and enjoyed the "sunbathing".
Xiaohong looked at me in surprise and asked, "Miss, what are you doing here?" ”
I didn't speak, just fell asleep in the warm sun.
