However, most of the clansmen agree with the latter's point of view, and they all say that the Su fox is in love and has been infected with bad fate.

Xia Jiujiu wanted to know the reason, and didn't want to just listen to everyone's speculation.

So she ran out of Qingqiu, wanting to see what was good about the palace.

It is worth Daji's life to accompany the funeral.

At that time, the emperor's system had not yet been abolished, and the palace was still lively.

The palace walls there are not high, and the whole body is painted with vermilion, and the golden tile roof is matched with it, which looks very festive.

Xia Jiujiu was sitting on the golden tile roof, and in front of him was a palace that I didn't know what it was called, and a new concubine lived in it.

She saw that the maiden in the temple was just the age of her prime, and when she first came, she played with the little maid who accompanied her in the courtyard every day.

Or fly a kite or swing a swing.

At the beginning of spring, they planted spring flowers together in the courtyard, and they didn't care if they were covered in mud.

During the summer solstice, they brought chaise longues to cool off under the trees, and sang songs without a key together.

At the beginning of autumn, they waved their brooms to clean up the yellow fallen leaves in the courtyard, and they laughed happily with the rustle of the dead leaves.

When the frost falls, they wear warm coats, and despite the fact that their little hands are red from the cold, they also build snowmen, have snowball fights, and walk in the snow.

The sound of laughter was heard in this hall every day, causing the palace maids and guards who passed by to want to take a look inside.

I don't know how long it lasted until one night......

The man with the appearance of a man, who spoke in a strange tone, and who twisted his orchid fingers in one hand, entered the palace.

He took the maiden away, and did not return with a blanket until dawn came.

Xia Jiujiu didn't follow, and naturally she didn't know what they had done.

It's just that she found that after that day, the smile on the girl's face was gone.

She no longer accompanied the little maid to laugh in the courtyard, but called the little maid out every day, and then leaned against the window in the hall alone, waiting for the little maid to return.

I don't know how long it took, but the little maid finally returned. She leaned into the girl's ear and whispered something.

Hearing the words of the little maid, the maiden would sometimes smile, urge her to hurry up and dress herself, and then hurried out of the palace.

Sometimes she would frown, and then wave her hand and smash everything that could be touched beside her, scolding loudly and angrily what Xia Jiujiu didn't understand.

Whenever this happens, the little maid will kneel on the ground and keep chanting: "The little lord is angry."

The woman in the gorgeous costume will not spill for long, scolding and scolding, she will suddenly quiet down, and then hug the little maid and cry until she falls asleep.

Later, the girl grew up.

She became proficient in calculations, sometimes cruel to others, sometimes cruel to herself.

The man with the orchid finger also came to the temple from time to time.

Or with a scroll of yellow silk, followed by two rows of palace maids, and several large boxes of jewelry. Or take the scroll of yellow silk, followed by two rows of guards, and carry all the jewels away.

In the winter of that year, the palace suddenly became extraordinarily quiet, so quiet that it was a little eerie.

It was also the first time that Xia Jiujiu jumped off the palace wall and followed a grandmother into the gate of that palace.

She finally saw the woman, dressed in a plain white robe, with no rouge on her face and pale lips.

After hearing Mama's words, she suddenly showed a sarcastic smile.

She said: "It's really worthy of the emperor's affection since ancient times. ”

The three words "how affectionate" she pronounced were extremely slow.

"Okay, okay...... In vain, I entered the palace at a young age, and I was trapped by this high palace wall for dozens of years, and I struggled to win the favor of the thin lover. In summary...... It's still an empty dream. ”

"Empty dreams, a ......" the woman repeated again, her voice low and her smile sad.

She drank all the poisoned wine that the grandmother had handed her, and then drove her away.

There was a scolding sound from the door, and she was not annoyed, she carefully tidied up her clothes and sat down in front of the dresser.

The woman in the bronze mirror had a beautiful face, she smiled slightly, coiled her long hair, and pinned her favorite hairpin, which was also the only one left.

She put the gray rouge on her face again, but before she could put it on her lips, a black and red color overflowed from the corners of her mouth.

The woman didn't care about that, she just wiped it with a handkerchief, but it would flow again, and in the end she didn't care, got up and walked to the couch.

On the top of the collapse lay the little maid, with neat makeup, but a thin layer of ash fell on her face.

The woman carefully helped the little maid remove the gray Buddha on her face, lay down on the bed, and hugged her.

In the end, she said something, but Xia Jiujiu didn't hear it clearly.

She only saw a smile on the woman's face, but her brows were furrowed, and even if she laughed, it looked like crying......

It didn't take long for the woman to fall asleep and her breathing stopped.

Xia Jiujiu left the palace and strolled along the long palace road, she looked at the palace walls on both sides, and couldn't figure it out.

This wall is obviously not high, could it be that their human perspective is different from that of demons?

......

"Knock knock."

Someone knocked on the door, Su Jiu opened his eyes, and the bruises on his body had faded a lot.

She got out of bed to open the door, and when she reached the door, she smelled a faint smell of black cedar.

Su Jiu was stunned for a moment, opened the door, and sure enough, it was Xiao Chu standing outside.

The man handed her a small box of plasters and said, "Duanmuheng asked me to give this to you, saying that you will use it." ”

The little girl in front of her only glanced at the plaster, but did not accept it.

She suddenly had a sour nose and red eyes, and then leaned directly into Xiao Chu's arms.

Before the man could react, the little girl's body leaned over and leaned softly against her chest.

Xiao Chu was startled, he didn't have time to reach out and push her away, thinking that there was a camera in the corridor, he turned around with Su Jiu in his arms, entered her room and closed the door, only to breathe a sigh of relief.

Does this little girl not know what a scandal is?

Xiao Chu's brows furrowed, and the tip of his nose suddenly surrounded by a faint milky fragrance.

Recalling that when the little girl saw herself just now, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she looked pitiful, and he suddenly felt a little unbearable, and couldn't help touching Su Jiu's head.

As a result, I heard the muffled voice of the little girl in my arms: "You can't touch your head." ”

"Okay, then I won't touch it." Xiao Chu withdrew his hand with a smile, and asked again: "Why are you such a double standard, you are allowed to take advantage of me, and you are not allowed to touch my head?" ”

Su Jiu ignored him and snorted lightly.

Although she didn't say how old she was, she looked like she was just an adult, and she must not know what the difference between men and women was.

I thought that it was probably because the little girl had encountered something sad, and she was only familiar with herself here, so she showed this aggrieved appearance when she saw herself.

Xiao Chu didn't want to push her away.

The little girl leaned into his arms, and he didn't think much about it.

After all, in his eyes, Xia Jiujiu is a child who has not grown up yet.

It's just comforting the children, he thinks he's still good at it, after all, he also has a child at home.

Xiao Chu thought about it, and touched Su Jiu's head again without paying attention.

As a result, I heard the little girl in my arms say sullenly: "Don't touch your head!" ”

Xiao Chu smiled helplessly, "Okay, I don't touch my head, so don't be sad?" ”

The little girl was still sullen, "I'm not sad. ”

"Okay, no sadness." Xiao Chu sighed helplessly, "Then can you tell me what happened?" ”

He remembered that Su Jiu was taken away by Duanmu Heng, and he just saw her limping upstairs when he was in the kitchen, and she looked like a wilting bar.

"Could it be that Duanmuheng bullied you?"

Su Jiu shook his head.

"That's when you accidentally fell while playing and hurt your foot, so you cried your nose?"

"I didn't cry!"

"Okay, you didn't cry." Xiao Chu smiled angrily, "Then can you tell me what you're doing now?" ”

"I'm just, homesick...... the little girl whispered, her original little milk voice a little hoarse.

She misses her big mother, she also misses Qingqiu, and she thinks about the tall black cedar in the center of Qingqiu that can only be embraced by more than 20 people.

"Want to go home?" After all, she is still a little girl, she is homesick after only one day, Xiao Chu chuckled.

"Can you stand first?" He patted Su Jiu on the shoulder, "It's almost time to eat, everyone else should come back, aren't you hungry?" ”

Su Jiu thought for a while, put his head against Xiao Chu's chest and nodded, "Hungry." ”

"Ahem, shall we go down to eat then?" The man patted Su Jiu on the back, pushed the person away from him, and then handed her a piece of paper.

"It's time to eat in a moment."

"Hmm."

......

Tan An'an was stopped by Duanmuheng, and finally prepared six dishes and one soup, and everyone was about to be exhausted.

When Xiao Chu took Su Jiu downstairs, everyone else had already arrived and was ready to eat.

Jin Li was the first to see Su Jiu, and immediately rushed over excitedly and hugged her.

"My Jiujiu cutie, you miss me!" As usual, she first pressed the person in her arms and rubbed it, and then Jin Li said: "When I was in the playground in the morning, I found a fox doll that looks very similar to you!" It's a pity that my partner didn't give ......."

Saying that, Jin Li also glanced at Gu Lianghao, but the latter was staring at Tan An'an directly, and he didn't care about her.

"Cut, it's a licking dog." Jin Li snorted, and then looked at Su Jiu, "It's a pity that I didn't win that this time, I originally wanted to give you as a gift." ”

Su Jiu smiled at Jin Li and said "thank you".

"Harm, what's polite with me? Eh, did you put on makeup, why are your eyes red? Jin Li noticed the redness at the end of Su Jiu's eyes, but it was not obvious.

She just knew that this little girl was without makeup, so she rubbed her face regardless of it. But if Su Jiu wears makeup, she can't rub the flowers?

Xiao Chu knew that the little girl might not like to discuss this topic with others, so she interrupted Jin Li at the right time: "Let's go eat, everyone is waiting." ”

"Oh, it's a roar!" The woman suddenly realized, and pulled Su Jiu to sit on her left, which was also Duanmuheng's right.

When passing by, Su Jiu accidentally touched Duanmu Heng's arm, and the latter was so frightened that he quietly turned red his ears and moved the stool to the side.

I always feel that the current atmosphere is inexplicably a little strange.
