Today is the fifteenth, Mid-Autumn Festival.

Dong Zhuo left the house early in the morning, saying that he had something to do, but he would definitely come back to eat with me before dinner.

I stroked the silver hairpin in my hand and put it into the small wooden box in front of the table, and the whole wooden box of small objects was now returned to its original owner. Looking up at the unknown tree in the courtyard, it was only a few days, and the leaves had already fallen off, and the murderous aura of autumn had already hit. suddenly remembered the epigram in "Dong Xixiang": You don't see the red leaves of the river, and it is all blood in people's eyes!

Although there is no maple tree at this time, I still can't help but feel sad in my heart, and I have been sad since ancient times.

On that day, Dong Zhuo gently pressed his head against me and told me, "I'm glad I found you before winter." ”

I'm also glad that without Zhongying's winter, how cold it would have been, I don't even dare to imagine.

It is said that because of his meritorious service in rescuing the driver, Dong Zhuo has paid homage to Taiwei, and the place where I currently live is Taiwei's Mansion. I have lived in this Taiwei Mansion for two days, and the servants and slaves of the entire Taiwei Mansion have obeyed me, and no one dares to disrespect me.

And I, as if I have returned to the previous life in Hedong Taishou Mansion, I am still the eldest lady, the eldest lady who was held in the palm of Dong Zhuo's hand, and the eldest lady who does not know the suffering of the world.

Apart from...... The scar on my face that I can't hide. In the entire Taiwei Mansion, no one dared to mention the scar on my face again, it seemed to have become a taboo. I don't even have a mirror in my room.

And Dong Zhuo, the first thing he does when he gets off the court every day is to go to the East Courtyard to comb my hair and pull my hair. Such a big captain, who is now in power, should be holding the sword in his big hand, but holding a small wooden comb, carefully combing the hair of a woman with a ruined face.

It's just that no one knows, but the four words "power leans towards the government and the opposition" are also taboos that I dare not touch, and I hide in the Taiwei Mansion like an ostrich, selfishly enjoying the stolen happiness.

"Miss, someone is asking to see you." Just as he was out of his mind, a servant girl pushed the door in and said in a low voice.

I came back to my senses and looked at the chattering maid, who hung her head so low that she didn't even dare to look at me. Why don't you dare look at me? Is it because I'm afraid of the ugly scar on my face, or ...... Afraid that her gaze would break Dong Zhuo's taboo?

"Who?" With a few words, I closed the small wooden box and sat down.

"It's a girl, she says her name is ...... Diao. ”

Diao? I was a little surprised, and when I saw the frightened look on the servant girl, I realized that I had unconsciously raised my voice and exclaimed.

"Let her in." After a little hesitation, I finally spoke.

The servant girl withdrew as if she had been pardoned.

I couldn't laugh or cry, am I so scary?

It's just Diao Chan, what is she doing here? Could it be ...... Was it ordered by Wang Yun?

Before, because of Zhang Rang's dark arrow, I fell from the high platform, and later because of the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants, his plan to make Li Dai Taostiff fail, and then I reunited with Dong Zhuo, and in between, I never saw Wang Yun again.

Now, why did Diao Chan come?

Just as he was thinking, the door was pushed open, and a veiled woman Ying Ying walked in.

The two looked at each other and were silent for a long time.

"See you again." Slowly raising her hand to untie the veil, she curled her lips and smiled, and opened her mouth first.

I was slightly stunned and narrowed my eyes, that smile was too dazzling and too familiar.

The first time we met, because of embarrassment and haste, I didn't think much about it for a while, but now she is standing in front of me, with the same eyebrows and eyes, the same expression. What I was facing was like a mirror, but her face was unblemished.

Can there be two people in the world who are so similar? Another joke by God?

"I'm really like you, aren't I?" She chuckled and spoke again.

I raised my eyebrows, noticing her words. In general, in this case, everyone should be used to focusing on themselves, and she should say "you are really like me", right?

"Smiling? Your name is Xiaoxiao, right? She looked at me with the same expression on her face as I was, almost eeriely similar.

Remember she's a singer, she's playing me? If it's playing? And for whom? What to play? But it's not a play, it's not a play, it's her life. If a person's life can only be used to interpret another person, what kind of sorrow should it be?

"Wang Yun told you?" I asked rhetorically.

"No, my father-in-law never mentioned that name to me." Diao Chan said, "It's just that I often hear my father-in-law call this name in his dreams." ”

"Dreaming?" I want to laugh, I can't imagine that such a person would dream.

"My father-in-law rarely dreams, he only dreams and wakes up shouting the name 'Xiaoxiao'." Diao Chan looked at me calmly, "When I first saw you in the palace, I understood everything. ”

I pursed my lips slightly, but didn't speak.

"Won't you ask me to sit down?" Diao Chan tilted her head to look at me and smiled innocently.

"You may be seated." Seeing her smile like a flower, I was faintly in a trance, and that smile was so similar that it made me chill.

Removing the jug from the stove on the side, I poured a cup of flower tea: "How did you meet Wang Yun?" Although I knew that she used to be a female official holding a sable hat in the palace, I couldn't help but ask.

"My father-in-law is my savior." Reaching out to take my freshly brewed flower tea, Diao Chan took a sip lightly and said with a smile, "I have seen my father-in-law brew this kind of tea, but I have only seen it, and my father-in-law never allowed me to drink it, it is really fragrant." ”

"I don't know why the Diao Chan girl came today?" I couldn't wait to get straight to the point, it was not early, Dong Zhuo was probably going back to his house, and he promised to come back today to accompany me to admire the moon.

I don't want him to see Diao.

"Oh, thanks to the help of the girl in the palace that day, I came to return my clothes." As she spoke, she offered the small bag she was carrying with both hands.

I took it, nodded and said, "Thank you, it's a pity that Miss Diao's dance dress has been destroyed and can't be returned." ”

"It's okay." Diao Chan shook his head and said with a smile, "Since the clothes have been returned, Diao Chan will leave." With that, she stood up and put on her veil again.

Looking sideways out the window, it was already full of smoke and the sun was setting, so I stood up and sent her out of the house.

Watching Diao Chan gradually walk away, I simply sat on the steps of Taiwei's Mansion, watching the people on the opposite street come and go, while waiting for Dong Zhuo to go home.

The guard at the door almost wanted to speak, but he didn't dare after all.

Until the pedestrians on the street gradually became scarce, Dong Zhuo still did not return home. I stood up, patted my aching and numb legs, and looked up at the sky, where it was so dark that there was not even a trace of a star in sight.

There's no moon today.

In the distance, there was a man riding a horse, it was Zhang Ji.

"Miss." He turned over and dismounted, but very respectfully.

"Where's your lord?" I asked.

"My lord can't get out of some things in the palace, so I ordered my subordinates to go back to the house to report to Miss first, so I don't need to wait for my lord to eat." Zhang said.

"Is there something going on in the palace?" Suddenly uneasy, I asked.

"There's an adult, it's fine." It's still the same sentence.

I finally nodded, turned my head and entered the door, without asking more, and not daring to ask more.

I didn't eat, so I went back to my room and lay down on the bed. After a while, I heard the scream of my stomach, I was really hungry, and sure enough, the people took food as the sky, even if I had a big heart, I still couldn't resist hunger.

It is said that people have a very sensitive sense of smell when they are hungry, and when I was lying in bed, I actually smelled a sweet smell wandering in my nose for no reason.

Turning over and getting up, I looked around for the source of the scent, and finally my eyes fell on the package that Diao Chan had delivered in the afternoon. Reaching out and opening the package, it was indeed my clothes, but on top of the clothes, there was one more thing.

That embroidered bag, the embroidered bag that Ling'er sewed for me.

In this Taiwei Mansion, Wang Yun naturally couldn't get in, so he sent Diao Chan here? He went to such great lengths just to deliver this embroidered bag to me? Or does he want to tell me that even if he is by Dong Zhuo's side, he can easily take me away? Is this a warning?

I opened the embroidery bag curiously and was stunned for a moment. There are only two dim sum in it, but it is not an ordinary dim sum, but a moon cake.

The sweet smell came to my nose, and I picked it up and took a gentle bite.

When I was in Mochizuki Tower, I described moon cakes to him. I told him the shape of the moon cakes, the appearance of the moon cakes, and I told him the allusion of "I wish people a long time, thousands of miles together", and the legend of "Chang'e should repent of stealing the elixir, the blue sea and the blue sky and the night heart".

The most important thing is that I told him that he must eat mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. And at that time, when he was still a fine dust, he was always dressed in white, smiled gently, and nodded yes. It's just a few times, and the mooncakes are always not doing well. But at this time, chewing the mooncake in my mouth, I suddenly had a long-lost sense of homesickness.

That night, the gentle-looking, ghost-like man in white came into my dream for no reason. I dreamed that he was standing in front of my bed, and his gentle eyes were sad, and he said, "Smile and laugh, it's all fate." ”

When I woke up the next day, it was already dawn.

Dong Zhuo didn't go back to the house, but there was an unexpected guest in the house.

"Princess Wan?" I was a little stunned, and I couldn't imagine how that beautiful woman in a luxurious body could condescend to her.

"An Ruo, or, this palace should make you smile?" Princess Wan sat and looked at me, her eyes deep and indiscerning.

I said goodbye, and then stood aside, without making a sound.

"I've been in the palace all the time, but I didn't know that you were Lord Dong's beloved daughter." Princess Wan smiled.

Daughter? I was slightly stunned and looked up to refute.

"Because of your departure, Xie'er has lost his temper for several days, and the emperor misses it very much, even the two girls Xiaoyou and Xiaoai often talk about you." Princess Wan continued, not giving me a chance to open her mouth.

I frowned slightly, but didn't speak. It turns out that even if I wanted to be an ostrich, I didn't have a chance.

"There is a feast in the palace today, a celebration banquet set up for Dong Zhuo's effective escort, and the palace is specially here to pick you up."

Intuitively, I wanted to say no. There is no good banquet, and besides, I don't want to become a burden to Dong Zhuo.

"Come on, help Miss Dong get into the sedan chair." Princess Wan's voice that could not be refused had already sounded elegantly.

I was stunned. Miss Dong? When did I become Miss Dong?

"Princess!" Subconsciously, I wanted to refute. I always have a feeling that if I don't refute it at this moment, then Dong Zhuo and I will only get farther and farther apart.

"Needless to say, let's get on the sedan quickly." Princess Wan spoke lightly and had already gotten into the sedan chair first.

Unable to refuse, I was already helped onto another sedan chair.

That's not a support anymore, they almost put me in a sedan chair. The princess invited, even if the guards of the Taiwei Mansion had the courage to stop it, not to mention that Fan Chou and several other capable lieutenants were not there.

Shaking and shaking, through the car window, I saw the magnificent palace gate. When I left the palace that time, I escaped from the palace in a hurry, and I still had Liu Wei and Liu Xie by my side at that time.

This time I entered this palace, what will be waiting for me?

"An Ruo, it's here." Princess Wan smiled and came to me, watched me get off the sedan chair, took my hand, and took me into the hall with me.

Her hands were slightly cool, silky and smooth, and very comfortable to the touch.

"The princess has arrived." A high-pitched, long voice.

Everyone turned around, and I swept the eyes of everyone who were surprised, puzzled, disdainful, or judgmental, and then my eyes fell on Dong Zhuo. He was slightly startled when he saw me, and then his hazel eyes darkened slightly.

He was angry.

Striding forward, in full view of everyone, Dong Zhuo took me into his arms.

"Although Lord Dong loves Miss very much, An Ruo is also a friend of the palace, and the palace invited her to attend this banquet, Lord Dong has no opinion, right?" Princess Wan smiled faintly, and she couldn't bear to refuse.

I know the pimple in Dong Zhuo's heart, he is worried that those unkind eyes will hurt me, but he doesn't know that I am already an impregnable wall, and all poisons will not invade me. Moreover, when everyone saw that I was embraced by Dong Zhuo in my arms, and that I was called a secret friend in the boudoir by the princess, I couldn't help but retract my unkind expression, and instead treated me differently as a saltless girl.

This is the power of power.

It's just that I still think Princess Wan's words are a little weird.
