Fang Lanlan took a big sip of a cup of tea, then got up and said, "I'm angry, why isn't it me?" Obviously, King Chu is very concerned about me today! Orange blossom, let's go! After saying that, he didn't say goodbye, but turned around and walked out of the door.

After Fang Lanlan left, Xia Ye'er drank some porridge soup unhurriedly. Hongmei saw that there was no one around, and said softly: "Little master, how did you meet Chun Promise?" ”

Xia Ye'er talked about her acquaintance with Fang Lanlan. Hongmei pursed her lips and said, "I thought she and the little master were old acquaintances, and I gave her a good face today." Later, I felt that the interests of the pure promise were too heavy, and I was afraid that I would accidentally hurt you. ”

Xia Ye'er smiled faintly and said, "I'm not here, I can't wait to fly out of this deep palace compound as soon as possible." ”

Hongmei's eyes widened, and there was a strange light in her eyes: "Little master, the slave is like-minded with you." The little master flies boldly, and the slave and maid must accompany him to the end! ”

Although Hongmei has always expressed strong support for Xia Ye'er's wishes, Xia Ye'er always felt that she couldn't fully believe in Hongmei, and she didn't know if she could say something to Hongmei, so she didn't say it after thinking about it.

Until one day, Hongmei hurriedly walked into Xia Ye'er's bedroom, Xia Ye'er was very irritable, waved her hand, and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Hongmei was stunned for a moment, took out a letter from her arms, stuffed it to Xia Ye'er, and said, "Little master, what do you see the slave maid brought you?" ”

Xia Ye'er lazily opened the letterhead, and as soon as she saw a few words, tears welled up.

Charles:

Don't be lovesick. Because there will be a day when we will be together.

Pan Yu

Xia Ye'er held the letter paper, looked at the familiar handwriting, and felt distressed over and over again, tears dripped on the paper, blurring the word "Yu" and gradually blurring.

Hongmei saw Xia Ye'er crying and red-eyed, so she stepped forward and comforted: "Little master, slave maid, I don't know those profound words, but just looking at your expression, it must be your sweetheart who told you to wait for him." ”

Xia Ye'er nodded, still crying silently. Hongmei took out her handkerchief, wiped Xia Ye'er's tears, and then said: "Little master, the palace where the slave maid has been in the palace for three years, has served two little masters before, one is still there, and the other has entered the cold palace. ”

Xia Ye'er raised her head and looked at Hongmei inexplicably. Hongmei smiled and continued: "What the slave and maid mean is that they are all little masters, why are their fates so different? If you want to get out of this palace alive, the first thing you have to learn is to protect yourself, even if you are not spoiled by the King of Chu, and don't let others take advantage of you. ”

Xia Ye'er nodded as if she didn't understand, she thought to herself, who would have a grudge against such an obscure little promise as herself? Presumably Hongmei is worried.

At noon that day, a small eunuch came in to inform him that the king of Chu was going to invite the harem concubines to watch the equestrian competition with him. Xia Ye'er thought about it, just freshened up casually, and went to Pinghong Hall with Hongmei to watch the game. Sure enough, they walked slowly, and when they got there, the concubines were already seated, some fanned the fans in their hands, I don't know what they were planning, and some were looking left and right, looking for someone.

It seemed that the King of Chu hadn't arrived yet, Xia Ye'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she stood outside the crowd looking for a place to sit, and at this time she only heard Fang Lanlan's voice: "Ye'er, this way, this way!" ”

Xia Ye'er looked at it fixedly, and Ye'er was sitting with another concubine she didn't know, waving to her. Xia Ye'er nodded and walked over, only then did she see the appearance of the other concubine, only to see that she was wearing a coral red floor-length dress, her skin was white and greasy like fat, her eyes were like water, and her green hair seemed to be casual and coiled, but the bun had a different style. Such a beauty, coupled with her good dress, Xia Ye'er immediately concluded that she was a good character. Hongmei whispered on the side: "This is the Jade Princess, and now she is being favored, so be careful." ”

Xia Ye'er hurriedly smiled, bowed to say goodbye, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

Fang Lanlan stood up, pulled Xia Ye'er down and sat down, pointed to the Jade Princess who had been smiling, and said: "This is the Jade Sister I saw when I saw the lotus flowers in the Fubi Pavilion yesterday, we were very speculative as soon as we met, we both like lotuses, Ye'er, do you think it's a coincidence?" ”

Xia Ye'er thought to herself, there are many people who like lotus flowers in this world, is it possible to speculate with you? But she just smiled lightly and didn't say anything. It was the Jade Princess, who leaned over and asked, "Ye'er?" Is it Xia who promised? ”

Xia Ye'er replied yes, and the Jade Princess asked again: "New to the palace?" ”

Xia Ye'er replied yes again, Princess Jade nodded with a smile, and said: "Seeing that Sister Xia and Sister Lan Lan have known each other for a long time, the friendship must be not shallow, I can get acquainted with you, it is also a kind of fate, and I will move around more in the future." After watching this equestrian, let's go to enjoy the lotus and drink tea together, Sister Xia, what do you think? ”

Xia Ye'er didn't understand what it meant for a while, and glanced at Hongmei in a panic, only to see Hongmei nodding slightly, Xia Ye'er said cautiously: "Okay, jade...... Sister. ”

The Jade Princess looked at Xia Ye'er's hesitant appearance, laughed out loud, and said while looking into the distance: "Ye'er, do you know? You look very much like the orange who entered the palace with me that year, and she is also served by Hongmei, but unfortunately, I don't know what mistakes I made, and she is still in the cold palace. Think about it, if she was willing to watch the lotus flowers and listen to the little song with me at that time, without causing trouble, how could these mistakes occur? ”

When Xia Ye'er heard this, she felt cold, and hurriedly said, "Exactly, Sister Yu, I also think it is." ”

Fang Lanlan didn't seem to hear anything, and said, "Isn't that over, let's go to the lotus together this evening!" As he spoke, he held Xia Ye'er and Princess Jade with his left hand and right hand respectively, and looked at them with a smile.

At this time, the king and queen of Chu came, and everyone got up to say goodbye. The king of Chu sat down, glanced among the concubines, and said lazily: "There are a lot of people here today." ”

The queen on the side hurriedly said: "Everyone is here today, but Rui Concubine didn't come, presumably she had a miscarriage a few days ago and fell ill." ”

King Chu frowned and didn't say anything more. Everyone saw that the king of Chu was not in a very comfortable mood, so they did not dare to move.

At this time, a group of people dressed as guards came on horseback, changing formations from time to time and playing some tricks. Fang Lanlan could see her eyes on the side, she couldn't care about the eyes of the people around her, and applauded loudly. The Jade Princess casually posed a fan, as if she was not looking. Xia Ye'er glanced at it roughly, she was not interested, and she remembered Pan Yu's letter again, and her mind was empty.

Just when Xia Ye'er was in a daze, she only felt that the air around her moved, and a foreign object flew towards her, hitting her face impartially, although it was not very serious, but her cheeks were hot, and she couldn't help covering her face. Seeing this, Hongmei hurriedly squatted down and asked, "Little master, what's wrong?" ”
