Princess Agarwood, who was sitting in a daze in the pavilion, was suddenly lightly pressed on her shoulder by a big hand with a little warmth, and the index finger of that hand was rhythmically tapping on her shoulder.

Agarwood's body trembled slightly, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but then he pretended to be indifferent, and continued to throw the stones in his hand into the small pool one by one.

In fact, Agarwood doesn't need to think about it to know who the person behind him is, and there is only one person who dares to do this to himself in this palace.

The second son of the palace, Hong Zhiru.

"Agarwood, did you sleep well last night? We are here, but compared to the north, the mosquitoes in autumn are more ferocious than in other seasons. ”

Agarwood's body leaned slightly to the side, causing the other party's hand to slide off his shoulder.

Then, I saw her turn around, looked at the second son of the palace, and said with a smile in her eyebrows: "Don't bother the little marquis, this body of agarwood is really cheap, and it is estimated that even if I personally give those mosquito bites, people will dislike them!"

Hong Zhiru put the hand hanging in the air back behind him, sighed slightly, and said in a gentle voice: "Agarwood, why do you want to do this? You should know in your heart that I am saving you! Marrying me is already the best result for you now!"

"The real agarwood has already died, and it died on the day he left the Land Temple!

What is left of the agarwood now, that is, such a useless body, is still lingering, and there is nothing else!

And the little marquis, you said that you were saving me, but you were just greedy for my body, so why did you say that you were so magnificent?"

Agarwood continued to look at Hong Zhiru with a smile, and said with neither humility nor arrogance.

After Hong Zhiru heard Agarwood's words, his face was not different, and he still said in a warm tone: "Agarwood, you really wronged me, I, Hong Zhiru, sincerely want to be good to you, how can you be so dirty!"

As long as you promise me, in the future, you will have a good husband and children, and I will always be good to you, and this is not the best destination for you?"

"Hong Dasheng, you have said this sentence to me many times in the past month, you didn't say that you were annoyed, I was tired of listening to it, you are a dignified second marquis of Anle Wangfu, why do you want to look at me as a little beggar?

And, I guess, the words you said to me, judging by the way you came to me, must have been more than just me, right?

I just don't know if others believe it, but I think someone must believe it, after all, you look like a human, and your family is the top magnate in this Guang'an City!

But for me, you still keep this hypocrisy, talking too much will only make me feel disgusting, you still deceive those careless little girls, how can you think about it than with me, a little beggar, it's fun to waste here, isn't it?

I have been a poor child since I was a child, not only the country was ruined, relatives and friends died tragically, but also I have been a beggar for more than five years, what insults have I not suffered? What hardships have I not suffered? But only I can't stand it, you are now 'loved' in every way!"

The smile on Agarwood's face is even worse, but if you look closely, you will find that that kind of smile is just a fake smile without any emotion or temperature.

"However, the wedding the day after tomorrow, you can't escape!" Hong Zhiru smiled lightly and did not say anything.

"Agarwood has escaped enough, and Agarwood doesn't want to run anymore. When Princess Agarwood said this, she had already turned around and continued to throw stones into the pool.

Those koi fish thought that someone had thrown food into the water, and quickly rushed up, but one by one, they were all bruised by small pebbles, and they were unwilling to leave.

At this time, the agarwood is as bland and tasteless as this pool of autumn water.

Hong Zhiru ignored Princess Agarwood's words, but turned around, looked at a maid in green clothes standing behind her, and said softly: "Sister Lanxi, I still have to bother you to spend more time, take good care of her daily life!"

The maidservant gave a salute and said with a smile: "The second son is polite, this is what the slave and maid should do." ”

Hong Zhiru nodded slightly, did not speak, and turned around and left the small pavilion.

Princess Agarwood threw all the stones in her hand, stood up, clapped her hands, and suddenly said, "Sister Lanxi, you have also been with me for a month, can I ask you a question?"

The maid named "Lan Xi" was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "Miss, if you have anything to say, ask the slave directly, if you can say it, Lan Xi will naturally speak." ”

"Actually, there is no special problem, I just want to ask my sister, in this Anle Palace, what is the difference between my agarwood and yours?"

"This ...... Miss is a golden body, naturally much more noble than me, a little maid!" Lan Xi buried his head and replied.

"Sister Lanxi, what you just said, but are you sincere?" Princess Agarwood turned her head to look at Lan Xi and said with a smile.

"Naturally it's true, Lan Xi rarely lies!" Lan Xi also laughed, after more than a month of contact, she also felt what kind of character the master in front of her was.

Unexpectedly, Princess Agarwood shook her head, the smile on her face disappeared, and she muttered:

"Sister Lanxi, in fact, what's the difference between me and you?"

"Huh?" Lan Xi hesitated and looked at Princess Agarwood.

Agarwood smiled slightly and explained:

"Sister Lanxi, you, you were born next to the peony flower, a green leaf that foils the petals, when others pass by the flower pot, they will only go to see the peony, saying how the peony is, whether it is noble or elegant, and never pay too much attention to you!

Not only will they think you are insignificant and dispensable, but sometimes they will even think that you are an eyesore, preventing them from viewing those flowers more directly.

But those flowers are inseparable from your foil.

Otherwise, it will not be able to bring out their cherishment and nobility!

As for me, I am a koi swimming in the pond in front of me, which looks brilliant on the outside, and can swim around in this pond quite 'freely', and some people are willing to stop and watch, and even occasionally throw food into it, which can be regarded as worry-free.

But in reality, all I could swim to was the space in this small pond, and I couldn't go anywhere else.

And I couldn't be sure if what was falling from my head was food, or was it pebbles?

If one day, the owners of the house were upset, they would pick up a handful of stones from the ground and drop them one by one, just like me.

Hey, who cares if I'm bleeding from my head or bruised all over my body?

And what we have in common is that whether it is a green leaf or a koi, after a long time, it will lose its activity and lose its soul.

When the time comes, we won't even know whether we are ourselves or not, and how we are living!"

Lan Xi's face was calm and said:

"Lan Xi didn't think about it so much, our kind of people are naturally inferior to you, and it is already difficult to survive, but I don't have the same mind as you, to do something nostalgic and sad.

For us, we can have a place for the next meal, whether it is delicious or not, as long as we can not starve to death, and in winter, we can have a quilt to keep out the cold, whether it is pure cotton or catkins, as long as we can not freeze to death, it is already very good.

If you can meet a good master again when you are working and being a slave, you can usually beat and scold less, and give one or two rewards from time to time, even if you are the luckiest. ”

After Princess Agarwood heard Lan Xi's words, she suddenly laughed, and then asked, "Sister, how do you think you are alive?"

"If you can breathe, you can eat, and you can still think about something in your head, isn't it considered alive?"

Princess Agarwood stood up, turned around and walked outside the pavilion, and said:

"It turns out that Sister Lanxi is a person who really has great wisdom, and Agarwood has been taught here! I promised an elder before that I want to 'live well', but unfortunately I can't do it now, so let's 'live' first." ”
