Chapter 82: Winter in the West Kingdom
Tears are very curious, this Xizi people live by hunting, it is really a miracle to live until now, no wonder it is said that a year is not as good as a year, the things on this mountain will always be taken one day, the animals on this mountain, compared to fruit trees, will bear fruit every year. But also, people here have lived for thousands of years, and their minds have always been the same as before, and they don't know how to be flexible, let alone accept new things.
The palace began to get busy early in the morning, and the tears were earlier than usual, but the man was still missing. Jasmine told her that the monarch was going to worship the heavens today, and there would be a banquet in the palace in the evening, and the officials would bring their families into the palace, and she would naturally attend.
"Does the monarch have children?"
Jasmine was stunned for a moment, looked at her puzzled, then turned to her stomach, and said, "Not yet." ”
Tear Yi followed her eyes to her stomach and said, "What do you think I'm doing?"
"Slave, see when you can conceive a little prince here. ”
Tears laughed and said, "How can it be so fast." Then his face sank and he said, "Doesn't the monarch have eight wives, and none of them have given birth to children?"
Jasmine shook her head and said, "It is difficult for a woman in our kingdom to conceive a child. Therefore, the nobles generally marry many women, and some marry more than 20 women and do not give birth to a single child. ”
Tears and realization, this Xizi people should be such a phenomenon, it is difficult for the living to grow old, it is difficult to die, so the birth rate is also low, otherwise it will not be overcrowded.
After lunch, she was supported by a group of palace people to go to the Yuquan Pool, which is said to be the water of the Jade Spring, which can wash away people's grievances, which is only for the ladies of the harem to enjoy.
"The eight ladies will go too?"
Jasmine smiled and said, "Don't worry, Niangniang, they are not in the same place as yours, they are far away!" After a long time of tears, Jasmine no longer has the trembling appearance she had at the beginning, she likes the master who is waiting now, not only has no temper, but is also very good to them. Anything new, they will be given a taste.
"It's pretty much the same, otherwise I'm panicking. She couldn't understand why this man wanted to marry so many wives, and it would be enough to have her!
Jasmine saw her thoughts, and laughed quietly: "Niangniang, in fact, there are quite few wives of our monarch, and which of our country's dignitaries and nobles is not a dozen ladies?"
"Really?"
"It's true, of course, but there is an exception!" Jasmine blushed.
The tears soaked in the water looked at it, knowing that she had a ghost in her heart, and said with a smile: "Who makes us so lovesick like this?"
Jasmine Xiang's face turned even redder, and said, "Niangniang, don't laugh at the slave, how can the identity of the slave be worthy of him, just think about it." ”
"Who?" said Tear was interested.
Jasmine thought for a while and said, "It's the minister of our Xizi Kingdom!"
"Minister of State!" muttered to herself, how could she hear this name a little familiar? Who couldn't remember it for a while, "Is the Minister of State very infatuated?"
"I don't know if I am infatuated with love, I only know that when he refused the king's marriage, he said that he would only end up single for one person in his life, and he would not start a family until he met that person. It's been thousands of years, and he's still alone. ”
Tear Yi pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought back, no wonder she felt familiar, these days I always overheard a lot of palace maids talking about him, saying that he would enter the palace in winter. In such a different world, it is indeed rare to have such a person with unique thoughts.
After taking a bath, Jasmine changed her into a new fine linen dress, and looked at the clothes on her body thoughtfully, after coming here, everyone here is wearing coarse linen, only the monarch and she are wearing fine linen, is it time for her to study the weaving.
"Niangniang is so beautiful!" Jasmine and the palace people sighed while combing her hair and putting hairpins on her head.
Tear Yi looked at the blurred figure in the bronze mirror in a daze, although she had never been able to see very clearly how the owner of her body looked, but from the expressions of others looking at her, it could be concluded that this person was definitely a great beauty.
"Can you stop wearing it, my head is so heavy!"
"No!" Jasmine, who has always been very obedient, vetoed, and then whispered: "Niangniang, it's not just you today, but the other eight ladies will also be present, we can't lose to them in the limelight." ”
Tears glanced at her and said, "It's no good, why should I overpower them in the limelight?"
Mo Xiang pondered for a while and said, "Because you are the concubine of the country, your status is already higher than them, and your natural makeup will overpower them!"
Tears snorted with a sneer, is this false name so important, if this monarch doesn't love her, even if he attracts the eyes of the world to her, what's the point.
"Okay, don't wear it, I really can't stand it, just dress up like usual!"
"Niangniang, this is not good, winter is a big day, and you can't be sloppy. ”
Tears were speechless, and after a while, it was finally done, and she stood up and tried it, which was better than expected, at least it didn't make her feel that she would suddenly fall apart.
Tears rolled up with her two eyes, and she saw the tassel hanging down to her forehead, shining with golden light. Alas, if this piece of jewelry is brought to her hometown, she will not have to worry about it for the rest of her life, and her mother will not have to live a hard life anymore.
She stood in place and turned around a few times, and jumped a few times, the jewelry on her head was still stable, and there was no intention of falling off, she was finally relieved, this thing is going to be ugly right now, don't go to the front of the hundred officials later, suddenly fall apart, but it will be a loss of the dead, she doesn't think there is anything herself, she is afraid of losing the face of a man, he is the king of a country. Then again, what's the man's name? Holding his chin and thinking for a while, he suddenly rushed to the wall of the dormitory, and looked at the portrait hanging on the wall.
"Niangniang, this is a portrait of you painted by the monarch, beautiful, right?"
She was instantly stunned, she knew that the painting was painted by a man, but she did not know that it was herself. To be honest, she didn't feel that the woman in the painting was herself, whether she was not aesthetically pleasing or whatever, she felt that the person in the painting was not like anyone, who would look like that. Alas, forget it, it can only be said that the people of this era are really not in the same world as her.
Stared at the payment for a long time, this word is not the word of her dynasty, but she thinks she should have seen it somewhere, by the way, it is in the ancestral home, then these two words should be read:
"Chizuki. ”
"How do Tears know that Lone is back?"
As soon as she spoke, a man's excited voice came from outside the bead curtain, and the tears were startled, but fortunately she didn't admit her mistake, this person is really called Qianyue.
