In the midst of his thoughts, there was a knock on the door, and the maid who thought it was the maid I had driven away raised her voice in a bad tone: "I don't need you to serve, you go and do your business, don't bother me." ”

There was a pause outside the door, and the man's deep voice came through the door panel: "You've been washing for half an hour, the water is already cold, and I'll come in if you don't come out." ”

It's Zhu Di! My heart sank, and I had some scruples after knowing his true identity.

"Wait a minute." I quickly got up from the bucket first, and the water temperature was indeed cold, and I didn't even notice that I was too engrossed in it just now. Quickly took the clothes prepared by the maid and hid behind the bed to change them, his hair was not washed but the bottom was also wet, so he could only wipe it twice at will and go to open the door, but he couldn't help but light up.

The person who was still in a gray cloth robe just now, turned around and changed into a royal blue brocade robe, as if he had changed a person, even his hair was combed again, and the beard on his face was shaved clean. To be honest, his appearance can't be described as handsome, but the contours of his eyebrows and eyes are very deep, and there is a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. After changing into brocade clothes and freshening up like this, he looks younger than his actual age.

Also, I silently added in my heart, more like Lu Feng.

As I watched him silently, I knew that he was also looking me up and down, because the maid had brought me an orchid dress with purple on a white background. I couldn't help but be stunned when I shook off my dress just now, there was a golden orchid skirt in front of me, and a purple orchid skirt in the back, I had an indissoluble bond with the orchid skirt? But among the many orchids, I only love Su Lan.

The black eyes did not hide their admiration and amazement: "You look so good in this outfit." His gaze fell back to the ends of my dripping hair, "Didn't you wash your hair?" Is it that you can't wash it alone, I'll let the girl help you. ”

"No need." I hurriedly stopped him who was about to turn around and summon him, "I'll wash it myself in a while, and I'm not a daughter myself, so I don't need to be served." ”

He looked silently behind me, walked past me into the room, and walked back to him with a clean towel on the table. He took a big step back when he was about to reach out to my hair, but immediately reacted quickly to remove the towel from his hand, thanked him, and lowered his head to wipe the water from the ends of his hair.

The atmosphere was a little dull and awkward, knowing that his gaze had been falling on his face without taking it off, it was very scorching. I didn't know his identity before, and I could still speak ill of him, but at this time, I didn't dare to borrow two of them, admitting that I was indeed cowardly, and I had concerns about everything.

As his mind turned darkly, he suddenly heard him say: "You don't need to guard against me like this, although I did kidnap you, but as long as you don't want to, I won't force you, I hope we can get along in peace like in a cottage." ”

Is it peaceful? Just scratching the surface. The first time I entered the den of thieves, it was obviously because of him, but I couldn't turn against him in order to get his protection, and then he killed the leader for me, and no matter how much resentment I had, I let go of my resentment; Although the latter time was indeed saved thanks to him, he was also irritated by the fact that he was trapped and could not return home.

I didn't need to see through this, so I raised my head and deliberately changed the subject: "Is this your mansion?" Can you show me around? He smiled: "Naturally, you can come with me." This is not the Yanwang Mansion, but a courtyard in Putrajaya, for Xu'er to live temporarily, and I will come here occasionally to visit. ”

Follow him out of the yard and observe the environment as you go. With the lessons of the past, you will no longer act rashly, but it is also necessary to know what kind of place you are in. This annex cannot be called simple, but it is not as gorgeous as it is, that is, it is composed of several houses together, and the courtyard arranged for me to live is slightly larger. In addition, there were not many servants, and I saw two or three people along the way, one of whom was a housekeeper.

It was very awkward to hear him tell the housekeeper to call me Miss Lan, and he opened his mouth or retracted the words that came to his mouth. If you don't let people call me Miss, do you call Mrs.? His sons are so old, they must have wives, he is the king of Yan, then his wife is the princess, doesn't the "lady" become a concubine? I don't want to be killed, so I still reluctantly accept the title of "Miss Lan".

But I didn't expect that when I bumped into his young general's son, he would ask him to call me Lan Gu. Suddenly, not only the teenager was stunned, but even the corners of my mouth began to twitch, I am only twenty this year, so I will be an aunt?

Seeing that the young man reluctantly lowered his head and his face was not depressed, he hurriedly said: "Don't call it, I'm not a few years older than him, and it's weird to be called like this, just call me Xu Lan directly." ”

However, Zhu Di disagreed: "Etiquette cannot be abolished, even if it is a Chi'er who is the same age as you, you must call aunt when you see you." ”

I knew that he didn't want me to blur my relationship with his son, and he liked me, so how could he allow the boy to call me by my first name. I didn't want to argue with him, so I could only lead the topic to the boy: "What's your full name?" ”

Although the young man was not happy, he still responded to me because of his father's face: "Zhu Gaoxu." ”

I thought about it in my mind for a while and didn't remember what the name of the emperor after Zhu Di was, but he was the second son, and the general succession was the eldest son, so it shouldn't be his turn. Looking at his military uniform, he couldn't help but ask: "Are you a general now?" ”

Somehow, his face turned red when I asked, and he secretly glanced at his father on the side before saying, "I followed my father in the army at the age of ten, and became the general manager of Putrajaya at the age of fourteen." ”

"Put the total? Is it a military rank? ”

The young man stomped his feet and said in annoyance, "You don't understand anything, I can't tell you clearly." ”

Zhu Di reprimanded: "Xu'er, don't be rude." ”

"Yes, father, the child knows his mistakes."

I found that this boy was like a mouse seeing a cat to his father, and he didn't dare to disobey at all. Later, Zhu Di wanted to take me elsewhere, but the young man shouted: "Father, you haven't returned for more than half a year, and my mother is very worried." Aren't you going back to the palace of Beiping to have a look? ”

I paused and turned my head to look at Zhu Di, his face did not fluctuate, but his eyebrows frowned slightly and said lightly: "Got it." Then there was no follow-up, whether to go back or not, I saw that the boy was still immature, unlike his father, who could not be surprised by anything, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

Out of Zhu Gaoxu's courtyard, I secretly observed Zhu Di's expression, but he caught him squarely, and said to me angrily: "I won't go back for the time being, even if I go back to Beiping, I will definitely take you with me." ”

The subtext is that you just run away.

Can't go to Beiping! I immediately made up my mind about it. In the future, Zhu Di will move the capital to the big Beijing City, which is his real sphere of influence, and it will be difficult to go to the blue sky if he wants to come out again after entering Beiping. What's more, there is another possible threat, that is, his princess, women usually have very little capacity for their husbands, and no one wants to share their husbands with other women, in case that princess is ruthless, then I will not only have to suffer.

But if I don't go to the mountain, the mountain will come to me.

When a well-dressed woman came to me, accompanied by a maid, I immediately judged that it was the princess whom I had never met. She wasn't very beautiful, maybe she didn't seem to be old enough to have children, but the eyes that looked at me had a hint of wisdom.

I think that what should come will always come, and I can't avoid it.

After looking at me, the princess smiled at the corner of her lips, and said in a kind tone: "It's Miss Lan." ”

I saluted her, "Princess." ”

She came over and took my hand cordially, and said with a smile: "Miss Lan doesn't need to be polite, just call me Miaoyun." ”

As soon as the two of them sat down, someone came to serve tea, and after the maid was sent back, she gently asked me if I was still used to living in the house these days, although it was polite, but the tone of her speech was very comfortable.

is already a temporary place to live, it doesn't matter if you are used to it or not. She looked around the house again and said, "The facilities in Putrajaya are indeed too simple, just wait until you go back to Beiping, I have already chosen a courtyard for your palace, and let the people below clean it." ”

I didn't feel right when I heard this, she was treating me as her husband's new favorite, and then deliberately showing generosity and generosity? After hesitating, he felt that he still had to show his attitude: "Princess, you may have misunderstood, I am just staying here temporarily, and I will return to the south in a few days, so I should not go to Beiping with you." ”

I can't just say that I have nothing to do with Zhu Di if they don't say it clearly, and since she has come to me, I think she must have inquired about it. The fact that I was plundered back by Zhu Di cannot be concealed, and Zhu Di's thoughts about me are also clear there, and he has never concealed it.

I saw her eyes flashing, and there was still a smile on her face: "Miss Lan rarely comes to the north once, how can she go back so quickly, even if I agree, the prince of our family will definitely not be willing to give up." ”

My heart moved, and there was something in my words...... I pretended to sigh and said, "Alas, your prince is too gracious. When she heard this, she immediately asked, "Oh? Is Miss Lan kind to my lord? ”

"Actually, it is said that the grace can not be too counted, it is that the prince was seriously injured and fainted on the side of the road, I happened to pass by, when the sky was full of dark clouds and it was going to rain, I dragged him into the cave, and later also took a golden medicine to the prince, since that day the prince has regarded the grace of this medicine as a life-saving grace."

Before I can determine if I can use this princess to help me escape, I must first make sure that I am safe. When I argued with Zhu Di, I would say that it was not a life-saving grace at all, but I had to exaggerate this kindness to her, so as to eliminate the possibility of her getting rid of me.

I have never known her and my heart is unpredictable, and being kind to me on the face does not mean that there is no jealousy in my heart. And a woman's jealousy usually turns into the sharpest knife that pierces the heart of a woman who wants to rob her husband.
