Chapter 42: The Eighth Highness Comes to Visit

The snow and ice melted, and the sun rose for several days.

Ten days had passed since the half-moon period given by Emperor Yuan An, and there were still five days before returning to the palace, and Xinmei began to pack up and prepare. This is not big, the day before yesterday, I went to Manxiang Silk Village to buy a few fine satins, and kept them to make new clothes for the slaves at the beginning of spring. The day before yesterday, I went to the Stone Pavilion and chose a lot of various jewelry heads, and kept them as slaves and hats to wear. Yesterday, I was busy running to Putuo Temple to pray for the slaves.

This day is busy, but it makes the slave idle. Tong'an was often busy with Xu Boyong's drunken Xiaolou, and Hua Xin went to serve the slave when he was free.

"County Lord, please use tea." Hua Xin smiled and made a cup of Biluochun for the slave.

The slave took it, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Hua Xin's gaze skimming over the red gold pearl bracelet on his white wrist. She saw the emotions of envy, desire, and longing in Hua Xin's eyes. Nu'er took a sip of tea quietly and praised, "Your tea-making skills are not bad." ”

Hua Xin lowered his head and said humbly and respectfully, "The county lord praises falsely. How can the craftsmanship of slaves and maids compare to the exquisiteness of the palace? ”

"It's not comparable. But I see you are smarter than they are. ”

The slave put the teacup on the table lightly, turned to one side, and lifted the cuffs, revealing the dazzling red gold array of handpieces. Her fingertips ran across the round, plump pearls. This is a first-class product given by God, delicate and beautiful, and it is a fine product created by a hundred craftsmen who have worked tirelessly.

In the past, slaves only had a bone pursuit of power and wealth, but when she stood beside Emperor Yuan'an, when she really felt the worship from everyone, she really had the best products in this world, and really tasted wealth for the first time. She understood why the world kept chasing those riches and glories.

Hua Xin, who is just a mortal, how can he be free from the world? It's just that such a person stays around, and he still has to beat it up after all.

The slave was not in a hurry or annoyed, and slowly looked up at Hua Xin who was lying on the ground, "The people in the palace have good craftsmanship and big hearts. Dedicated to climbing up, but not knowing how to climb high, falling is broken bones. Wealth is just a short-lived dream. A wise person should understand that instead of pretending to have other thoughts, it is better to do what is done and learn the craft well, in order to exchange for long-term wealth. ”

"The county master, the slave, the slave is dull......" A big cold sweat broke out on Hua Xin's head, and she fell to the ground, burying her head deeper and deeper.

"Hanashin, you're a smart man." The slave stroked the broken hair around his ear and continued, "If you want to get rid of your slavery in Great Xia and get a white body, you need to have the guarantee of a serious official. You are now serving by Tong'an's side, if you are honest and responsible, the lord of this county will not treat you badly. ”

The master of Huaxin was originally Tong'an, but these days he is running diligently to the slave. Nu'er naturally understood that Hua Xin wanted to tie up with the county lord from the palace, so that he could have a good future and a good place.

Hua Xin broke out in a cold sweat behind her back, her middle coat was wet with sweat and stuck to her back, and she said loudly, "The slave is only the head of the county master." ”

"Come on. Your faithfulness will be known to the lord of the county. The slave looked at the rays of sunlight on the blue-gray floor, and her mood became cheerful. She moved her body and stretched out her hand, "The sun is so good outside, let's go out for a walk with the county lord." ”

"Yes." Hua Xin got up from the ground and stretched out the back of his hand for the slave to hold his hand.

Walking outside the door, the slave stretched. She loves the warm sun in winter and the wind and rain in summer. Now I was in a good mood, and I saw that the plum blossoms in the garden were blooming just right, so I took off my big hat and ran to a plum tree in a light jacket. She stepped on her feet and reached out to pluck the plum blossom that bloomed the most brilliantly and reddest at the top.

But no matter how much she couldn't reach it, it was only an inch away from her fingertips, but she couldn't touch it. It's as if she is in Zhuyun Tower, looking at Feifeng in Zhengyang Palace from afar, she is obviously so close when she stretches out her hand, it seems that she is only one step away, but she can't cross it.

A cyan figure suddenly appeared on his side, and suddenly a fragrance wrapped in the fragrance of plum blossoms swept in. Nu'er raised her head slightly, and saw a delicate face. It was that boy, the young man in Tsing Yi who made the slave unforgettable. The son of the concubine, Dongli Yuyang.

Today, he wears a blue plain Hangzhou silk crane, a sheep fat jade crown on his head, and a jasper on his waist. With a faint smile on his face, a luminous and beautiful aura came from his face.

Nu'er's cheeks were slightly red, and he was blessed, "See Eighth Highness." ”

"The county lord is very polite." Dongli Yuyang responded with a smile, but his hand holding Hongmei had been hanging in the air, he was not annoyed, but extremely patient, and with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, he took the slave's hand, gently unfolded her palm, and gently placed the red plum in his hand on the slave's palm, "Does the county lord like it?" ”

Staring at the red in his palm, Nu'er nodded slightly, "Nu'er is very happy, thank you, Your Highness." It's just that my father is not in the house, why is Your Highness here today? ”

"I'm here to find you today." Yuyang Dongli said with a smile.

"Me?"

"Sister Mingjia!" In the distance, a small pink figure rushed straight towards the slave. She hugged the slave and raised her round little face, "Sister Mingjia, I want to kill you!" ”

"Furou, don't be rude." Although Dongli Yuyang blamed, his tone was full of doting. He reached out and touched Furou's little head, and said to the slave, "This little guy likes you very much, and you have only been out of the palace for ten days, so you came to trouble me and clamored to come to see you." I can't help it. ”

"Starling hates!" Furou Nunu snorted arrogantly, "I know the complaint against me, and when I go back in a while, the imperial grandmother should lecture me again." ”

Dongli Yuyang patted Furou's head, "Yo, you girl still has something to be afraid of, it's not easy." ”

"Humph!" Fu Rou said that she didn't want to talk to this pit girl's brother, she turned around and pulled the slave and said, "Fu Rou has long heard that there are a lot of fun things outside the palace, Sister Mingjia take me out to see the excitement quickly." ”

"County Lord, the day of the second dragon raising its head in February is coming. The street is also bustling with people like before. The little princess will surely enjoy the sugar man juggling on East Street of Suzaku Street. Hua Xin stepped forward and bowed and said.

"What does the princess think?" Nu'er asked.

Fu Rou clapped her hands, "Then East Street!" ”

The slave summoned the new eyebrows to go out shopping with them. When he walked to the door, the slave's face changed slightly.

"Your Highness, let's go." Lu Yinhua ignored the slave and walked forward with a smile and said to Dongli Yuyang.
