067-for-tat
At night, the summer breeze blew in through my window with a low hum.
My self was tossing and turning in bed, and my mind was still the intoxicating kiss of the evening, and every tender look and every gentle word he had......
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and when I heard the sound, I knew it was Nangumo's girl, so I immediately got out of bed and opened the door for her.
She jumped in and almost threw herself into my arms, and I stepped back to support her: "Why are you here?" ”
"I'm coming to see you! You've been out of the palace for so long. She walked around me to the candlestick and lit it.
The candle flame instantly lit up the room, and she looked at me carefully and said, "Look at you, you have obviously lost a lot of weight, there are always people in the back kitchen today, and I haven't found a chance to cook something delicious for you." ”
I moved my chair behind her and motioned for her to sit down, and I said, "You don't have to worry about me, just take care of yourself." In the two months I've been gone, nothing has happened in the palace. ”
She immediately nodded: "Prince Mu acts as the government of the court, and everything is too peaceful." ”
"No one dares to bully you." I asked with a smile.
Her eyes lit up: "Of course, they all think I'm your sister." ”
I nodded: "Learn to be more powerful in the future, with me covering you, you don't have to be afraid of him." ”
She was a little blindsided: "You, what me?" ”
"Cover you!" I thought she might not understand, so I immediately changed my expression: "Cover you, that's it......... I've got your back. ”
She grinned, and her big beautiful eyes were bent into a crescent shape: "I will order food every day in the future!" ”
"Come every day?" I was surprised: "Why? ”
She thought about it, and her little face suddenly turned to the side: "I want to come, no!" ”
I looked at her and always felt that this girl was a little wrong with me, and it would be bad if she thought too much.
I had the mentality that I would rather kill by mistake than let go, and immediately said: "It's better to be exempt, I don't dare to serve the emperor during the day, and I still go to bed early every night to nourish my spirits!" ”
Her eyes drooped slightly, and she thought for a moment and said, "Then I came earlier?" ”
"Don't, there were so many patrols outside earlier, and when others saw you running to me every day, everything should have come out." I insisted on dismissing her.
She looked suddenly lonely, and asked in a low voice, "Then when can I come to see you?" ”
I smiled and said, "You don't use it, I'll just go to see you every once in a while, right?" ”
She pursed her lips slightly and muttered, "You've never been to see me......"
"Go later! Go for sure! I comforted her.
When sending Nangumo away, she reluctantly turned around a few steps, and I felt very uncomfortable in my heart, I really don't know if she has any other thoughts because she is dependent on me.
This girl is very innocent, and I am afraid that I will accidentally hurt her, but I am even more afraid that something wrong will make her fall deeper and deeper.
The next day, Zhou Wei returned to his Beast Palace Paradise. I had hoped that through this crackdown on bandits, he would truly realize the importance of being a good emperor and change his mind and become a new man.
But apparently I thought too much, he was still the same as before, he didn't grow at all, eating, drinking, playing with women, archery, horseback riding, and gambling on dice.
One thing broke me down, he liked to tie me up more and more, and wanted to turn me into a jade pendant around his waist, and asked me to stay the rest of the time except for sleeping with women.
Facing his face every day, even in the middle of meeting King Mu, I was so depressed that I was about to lose my breath. I can't wait for me to encounter some natural and man-made disasters again, I really want to take a few days off.
That night, I was sleeping soundly, when there was another knock on the door, and I woke up in shock, and when I heard it closely, it was Nangumo again.
I suddenly felt a little unhappy in my heart, I obviously told her not to let her come, why is this girl so disobedient?
I opened the door and was about to complain, only to find that Nanakumo's expression was not quite right.
My resentment immediately turned to anxiety and concern, and I immediately asked, "What's wrong?" Leaning sideways, he moved out of the way and motioned for her to come in.
Nangumo strode forward and said anxiously, "Something happened to your family, and they want to see you." ”
Home? They?
I didn't even react yet, but after thinking about it, what else could I say from Qiyun's mouth? It's none other than those two ancestors.
I couldn't help but worry and asked her, "When?" ”
"Right now, they're waiting for you! It's still the old place, let's go quickly. "Nangumo is going to pull me out when he says something.
I was stunned, now? It's not fifteen today, how can Xiao Du see me if he doesn't rest?
Instead of being dragged away by her, I grabbed her hard and confirmed, "He's looking for you?" How did I tell you? How did he rest today? ”
Qiyun hurriedly replied: "He asked for leave, it must be urgent, let's go quickly." ”
I thought for a moment, glanced at Nanun from top to bottom, and said, "You took off your clothes." ”
"What?" She was stunned and looked at me in disbelief, her cheeks slowly turning red.
I stomped my foot anxiously: "Hey, take off your clothes and I'll change them." ”
"Oh!" She immediately looked awkward, but her hands were still obediently unbuttoning her clothes.
"How do you change your clothes today?" As she spoke, she handed me her clothes, and I noticed that her face was even redder, and her face was as if it were on fire.
I didn't answer, just changed my clothes and told her, "Wait a minute, you don't have to go with me, just wait here." ”
She thought about it, was a little confused, and asked very carefully, "Don't you need me to look at the wind?" ”
I shook my head, "It's okay." "That place is already biased, and there are many rockeries to cover, so it will be fine.
Ever since the last time King Mu was suspicious, I realized that I had to be careful about this. My face is always dangling around Zhou Wei, there are too few people who don't know me, I can't make a disguise, at least I have to cover it up.
Also, in the past, it was Shichiyun who dragged me all the way over, and although there were not many guards patrolling in the dead of night, the target was always too big. Once caught, it will be a eunuch and a palace maid who are messing around late at night, a harem, or other more serious crimes.
At the end of the day, Nangumo is an outsider, and the last thing I want to involve her in is anything.
I spread out my hair and asked Nangumo to wrap me in a palace maid's double snail bun. She was very skilled in her craft and combed it quickly.
She finally inserted the pearl hairpin into her bun, looked down at me in the mirror, and couldn't help laughing: "You are so beautiful in this dress." ”
I smiled helplessly, got up and told her that she would turn off the lights after I was gone, and just rest in my bed, and no one would come at this time.
When I went out, I went straight to the "old place", and my mind was messy along the way, and I also had a very resistant emotion, I didn't want to have too much to do with them, but now I occupied the body of other people's princesses, and I couldn't refuse, it was really bad.
I ran all the way to the rockery before stopping, and I was already running out of fine sweat, and I couldn't help but shiver when I was blown by the cool breeze in the stone mouth.
Because of them, I don't have a good impression of the heavy rockery in front of me. But I couldn't hide from it, and I had to step into it even if I was reluctant.
Unlike the full moon night in the past, the moonlight tonight is very hazy, like a veil, and it can't shine into the rockery in the dark.
I turned right and walked for a while from memory, and finally saw the two figures. When one of them saw me appear, he immediately greeted me and called out in a respectful tone, "Princess." ”
Xiao Du looked at me from head to toe and asked a little strangely, "Why is the princess dressed like this today?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just a cover-up." I crossed Xiao Du and glanced at Tie Li behind him. She was standing straight with her back to me, and despite her age, her body was not at all rickety.
I walked over and took the initiative to greet Mrs. Tieli, "Mrs. Tieli......"
She didn't hear from her for a long time, and if she hadn't stood so upright, and this motionless and silent appearance, I would have thought that she had returned to the West.
Xiao Du seemed to feel embarrassed by my face, and immediately came over to talk to me, he said: "The princess went out with the dog emperor to suppress the bandits a few days ago, but she can teach us to worry tightly, but fortunately, nothing went wrong. ”
I nodded and smiled, "Actually, there is danger this time, maybe it was the amulet you gave me that blessed me." ”
"Really? Then princess, you're not hurt, are you? Xiao Du became a little nervous when he heard this.
I shook my head: "No! Not yet! ”
He breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly came to his senses again: "I'll go back tomorrow, ask for a few more!" ”
I couldn't help but laugh: "No, not the more the merrier......"
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Tieli over there suddenly "cheated the corpse" and said in a rough voice: "It seems that Emperor Zhou's success in suppressing bandits still has a credit to the princess." ”
As she spoke, she turned around, her withered face cold as a ghost.
I know, she's starting to find fault with me again.
I replied, "Madame Tieli is really good at laughing, but it's just thanks to you, I'm not dead yet." ”
She sighed low and said: "This time, Emperor Zhou suppressed the bandits, gained a large part of the military heart, and his reputation among the people has also improved, which is not good for us at all." ”
Listening to her words, I was speechless! Shall I be blamed for the sin of this matter?
I couldn't help laughing and said to her: "Mrs. Tieli, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding of my current identity, I am neither Zhou Wei's mother nor his mother-in-law, I am just a little eunuch, and I can't change many things at all!" ”
I said these words too bluntly, and I saw Tie Li looking at me expressionlessly, and his face was gloomy to the extreme.
The atmosphere had dropped to freezing, Xiao Du looked at her, then at me, and wanted to say something, but in the end he only sighed softly, and his head was half hung. He's stuck between me and Tie Li, and it's really hard for him.
Tie Li spoke again at this time, his voice cold and hoarse, like the sound of ice and sand rubbing.
She said: "Of course I know who you are, and you need to know who you really are!" If you do your best, I don't believe the whole thing is going anywhere? ”
When she said that she was excited, she almost yelled, I only felt that my ears and eyes were stimulated by her, and I really didn't know how Xiao Du endured her.
I suddenly craned my neck and said confidently, "Who said there was no progress?" I didn't say it, just because I didn't succeed! ”
"What did you say?" Tie Li's dry eyelids widened suddenly.
