Chapter 1: Falling into the Red Dust

Next Chapter

I woke up on a brocade bed with a curtain of beads.

The incense burner in the room smoked faintly, and the woman next to me frowned slightly, and fell asleep again.

I lay upright on the bed, thinking about a few esoteric questions.

Who I am, where I am, what am I doing.

......

After about half a pillar of incense.

The door was pushed open with a "snap", and the sound of unrestrained footsteps approached from the door.

I looked up, and a little girl with a bun was standing still by the bed, looking very impatient.

"Concubine Li, the queen invites you to go to the back garden with her to drink tea and enjoy the flowers."

The little girl's voice pierced, and she spoke like an old eunuch in the palace.

Almost as soon as the girl spoke, the woman next to me opened her eyes.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and her rapidly stretched eyelashes were like black butterflies emerging from a cocoon, staring at her clear eyes that were not sleepy.

I'm amazed, how defensive can a person be able to open his eyes and be clear?

But before I could be surprised, the woman turned her head to look at me.

A pair of lilac eyes met my eyes, and my heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Purple eyes?

I stared at the woman, and before I could express my surprise, I was at a loss.

After all, I can't remember anything now, what if I don't know her?

Listening to the words of that little girl, this woman seems to be still a concubine.

For a stranger who lies in her bed for no reason, she has absolutely the right to blame me.

"Well, don't get me wrong, I'm ......"

Who am I?

......

Contrary to my panic, the woman's face was calm.

It was as if he hadn't seen me, hadn't heard what I was saying, as if it had just been a random glance and had no purpose.

She can't see me?

I reached out and shook it in front of her eyes again, but she still didn't respond.

"Niangniang, it's been a little while, and the queen is still waiting for you!"

The girl outside the bed curtain urged, her tone a little impatient.

"Got it."

The purple-eyed woman didn't care about the girl's tone, only to see her eyes staring blankly at the hibiscus flower on the top of the bed and said lightly, "You go down first, I'll look for it later." ”

The room was scented with incense and had an illusory aftermath.

As I lay on my bed, I heard a few singing words from a long distance, and the lyrics were sung like this.

A seven-pronged exquisite heart, it is not a pity that he fell into the yellow spring.

The lyrics in my ears are like the morning bell that rings every day in Luming Temple, and the heavy and illusory sound flows back and forth between the mountains.

waited until the girl retreated for a while, and then the purple-eyed woman got up and dressed slowly, not in a hurry or impatient.

The slender eyebrows are like the curved flute leaves blown by the Jiangnan genius on the side of his mouth, and the pink lips are like the pink peach blossoms that bloom in the peach forest in March.

Those purple eyes were full of a strange feeling, but the corners of her slightly pursed mouth made her extraordinarily cold, giving people a cold illusion.

The woman dressed herself and went out after grooming.

I followed the woman around the great palace for a long time before I finally reached the so-called garden.

I thought to myself that this woman must be extremely unfavored.

First, as a mother, there was no maid to follow after going out, and even the grooming was done by herself.

Second, this back garden seems to be located in the center of the harem, and she has walked so long to get there, which shows how remote her dormitory is.

I sighed inwardly and silently followed her like a ghost.

Belch.

Maybe I'm really a ghost.

......

The royal back garden is built in an extraordinary style, and there are a lot of rare and exotic plants along the way.

It seems to be built for the pastime of the concubines, but in fact, it is still for the beautiful women to welcome the emperor's arrival, and the emperor is the one who benefits.

"Concubine Li, meet the queen mother."

The woman leaned over slightly, her jet-black hair slid down quickly with her waist, reminding people of the black and bright black pearls that the Sea Kingdom had paid tribute to not long ago.

The smile on the corner of the queen's mouth paused, but the next moment it stretched out again.

"My sister doesn't have to be polite, it's all her own family, what's polite." As he spoke, he stepped forward to help Concubine Li.

Seeing the queen coming to help her, Concubine Li subconsciously dodged, and then gave up again.

The queen sat beside Concubine Li, dressed dignifiedly, with a loving face, and a very motherly style.

She pushed a plate of new pastries in front of Concubine Li, smiling softly and lovely.

"Sister, it's been a good time lately."

Concubine Li's expression did not change, and her voice was cold.

"Thank you for your concern, my sister is doing well, but I miss my mother outside the palace."

The queen laughed suddenly, and she took out a delicate crystal vial from her sleeve, which contained a purple translucent liquid, just like Concubine Li's eyes.

"Sister, this is the last medicine, after drinking this last medicine, I will send my sister out of the palace and reunite you with your mother." The queen affectionately took Concubine Li's hand and said gently.

Concubine Li took the medicine bottle, gently rubbed the bottle with her fingers, and then drank the medicine in her hand.

The queen's eyes lit up, and a smile rose at the corner of her mouth.

"My sister believes that my sister will let me see my mother as soon as possible." Concubine Li stood up and saluted the queen gently, "Concubine Li, retire first." ”

The queen looked at the back of Concubine Li's departure, and her originally beautiful smile suddenly became hideous.

Her smile automatically added a special effect to my head, and it seemed to emit black-purple smoke.

I sat beside her and shivered.

The women of this rank in the palace are all femme fatales.

Just this hideous smile, without experiencing thousands of palace fights, is really not enough to laugh......
