Chapter IV: Punishment
Half a month later, the quiet small mountain village suddenly exploded, and the entrance of the village was crowded with people, scrambling to look at the man sitting on the tall horse, looking at the gifts flowing behind the man with greedy eyes, and talking about it.
"I heard that I came to pick up the girl of the Liu family to enter the palace as a mother."
"Entering the palace? There are no two officials here, why did they enter the palace? ”
"This Liu family girl is really a blessing."
Nalan stopped at the gate of Liu's house, pushed the door in, and carried the dowry of flowing water into the small courtyard, and in the blink of an eye, the small courtyard was full of many people who couldn't stand.
Inside the house, Nalan Zhi was dressed in a snow-white robe, the side of the robe was rolled with gold edges, the clouds embroidered with silver thread were stacked to create a noble and elegant, a black hair was tied to the top of his head with a purple jade crown, and the white boots with gold trim were rolled on his feet.
As soon as he sat on the main seat, he was in a lofty posture, extravagant, and he couldn't compare with leisure.
In the humble bedroom, Liu Ruoxin insisted on wearing a plain dress and said goodbye to her father.
There was no wedding, no worship, Nalan Zhi directly took Liu Ruoxin back to the palace, and everything was exactly the same as then.
Sitting in the carriage entering the palace, Liu Ruoxin opened the curtain and looked outside, the majestic and magnificent palace was close at hand, and her majestic appearance only made her feel cold.
Her enemies are all here, and the man she has loved and hated all her life is by her side, and her identity is different, so she can only give in.
The palm of her hand couldn't help but tighten, and when Nalan saw this, she pulled her hand and held it in her palm.
"Ruoxin is scared?"
Liu Ruoxin turned around and saw his phoenix eyes staring at her with a smile, she didn't feel scared, she smiled faintly, withdrew her hand, and lowered her eyebrows.
"The emperor knew that I would be afraid, so why did he have to take me into the palace! Parents are not far away, Ruoxin can't give up! ”
The irony was obvious, Nalan Zhi stared at her for a while, his eyes gradually became a little cold, he looked her up and down in plain clothes, put his hand around her waist, and rubbed it at the position of the hidden buckle of the belt.
"Today is a big day for you and me, your clothes are too plain, and they look so tight that they look unsightly."
Nalan Zhi stared at her tightly, his fingers gently clasped the secret button, and he felt that Liu Ruoxin in his arms was tense all over, his hands were clenched tightly, and his chuckling appearance looked very soft and well-behaved.
Supple and well-behaved?
Nalan Zhi narrowed his phoenix eyes and sneered in his heart.
Liu Ruoxin pretended to raise her arm to look at the clothes on her body, moved away from Nalan Zhi's arms without a trace, and looked up at Nalan Zhi and smiled softly.
"I love this outfit!"
Nalan Zhi smiled and touched the black hair on her shoulder, looking like she liked it.
Liu Ruoxin held the teacup and drank tea, looking at the rippling buds in the cup, her face was indifferent, and there was a lingering look in her eyes.
The palace that had buried her life and all her relatives, of course she had to go in plain clothes.
The matter of entering the palace is a foregone conclusion, and the enemies will meet each other on their own.
After more than a month.
The slow carriage entered the palace directly, stopped in front of a palace, and Nalan Zhi gave a few orders and left.
When she first arrived in the unfamiliar environment, Nalan Zhi's departure made her more relaxed, standing on the steps and looking at the scenery, she was familiar with the scenery.
Those days that are heart-wrenching to the hearts of the people seem to be in front of us.
A flying flower swirled and landed on her shoulder, Liu Ruoxin gently pinched it on her fingertips, her face suddenly turned cold, the delicate petals were shattered in an instant, and the juice of the flower that was squeezed out was as red as blood.
Are you ready, enemies?
……
That night, after Nalan Zhi finished dealing with the things in hand, he came directly to Liu Ruoxin's Green Shade Palace.
The door of the hall quietly opened, and Nalan Zhi, who was dressed in bright yellow civilian clothes, raised his hand to stop the palace people who wanted to shout, and walked into the hall.
The pink silk curtain hung down, the incense burner was faintly fragrant, Nalan Zhi walked towards the carved bed, opened the silk tent, and the beautiful woman slept soundly on the bed lying on the side of the bed.
Raising his hand to pinch a strand of black silk from the beauty, the faint fragrance overflowed the tip of his nose, Nalan Zhi looked at the sleeping Liu Ruoxin, a little stunned.
According to the rules, the women brought back from outside the palace must be adjusted by the palace to teach the mother. After teaching, he can only serve after the canonization ceremony, but after today's batch of performances, he just wants to come to see her in his mind, he doesn't know why, he always has a concern for this woman in his heart, and he can't get rid of it.
Liu Ruoxin always felt unstable when she was half asleep and half awake, she opened her eyes in a daze, and there was actually a person sitting in front of the bed, she was shocked, but her face was calm, her posture was elegant, and she sat up and put her clothes together.
Half kneeling on the bed, "It's so late, why is the emperor here?" ”
Nalan Zhi stared at her beautiful face, didn't know what to write, and deliberately moved his body closer to her.
"I've come to see you."
With a strand of her hair between his fingertips, he couldn't help but lean towards her.
Liu Ruoxin in her previous life, after entering the palace for a long time, she only saw Nalan Zhi, although she was puzzled at the moment, she was not nervous, she had already experienced those things between men and women, and at this moment there was only resistance and disgusting.
Stretched out his hand to block Nalan Zhi's movements, with a resolute attitude.
"Your Majesty, I don't want to."
"You don't want to?"
The voice was extremely cold, Nalan Zhi snorted coldly, grabbed Liu Ruoxin's wrist, and pulled the person over with a slight force with his big hand, Liu Ruoxin was forced to fall in front of Nalan Zhi, and his body immediately pressed hard.
Pinched her chin with one hand, and her slightly narrowed phoenix eyes were full of ice, "In that case, you can tell me why you appeared in the woods where I was injured?" ”
Liu Ruoxin looked at him suspiciously, "I went to the mountains to collect medicine." ”
"As far as I know, wild beasts are rampant in the mountains this season, and almost no one in your village will go, why did you go?"
Naranzhi's tone sounded like a simple inquiry, but his eyes kept on her.
Liu Ruoxin raised his hand to cover the back of his hand, gasped lightly, and looked straight at him.
"At this moment, I am the only one who goes, and there is no one to compete with me, and if I am lucky, I will get a year's worth of food if I pick good herbs."
Nalan looked at her quietly for a few seconds, and in the flickering candle flame, the phoenix eyes flashed with a brilliance that she couldn't understand.
"When I see me in the future, I call myself a concubine."
His body pressed tighter, his hand sliding towards her waist and pulling the belt away.
Liu Ruoxin's breath sank suddenly, and he stretched out his hand to push him away, and the whole person slipped out of him like a fish, kneeling beside the bed, with lowered eyebrows.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is not feeling well, please ask the emperor to come back another day!"
The word concubine, she didn't want to say it anymore, but she still said it, these two words were like a spell, reminding her all the time, like the boning knife hanging above her skull.
Nalan Zhi's hand hanging in mid-air stopped for a while before he put it down, his handsome side face was cloudy in the dim candlelight, and his cold eyes stared at Liu Ruoxin's face like a poisonous snake.
