The next day, after breakfast, we returned to Prince Pingjian's Mansion. I planned to tell Xiao Yifeng and the others today that I was ready to leave. I can't stay here forever. I have lived here for half a month. In the eyes of the servants, I
After all, it’s nothing. Maybe the palace’s management is strict and the servants don’t say anything, but as time goes by, all the white things will turn into black. As for how I can support myself after leaving here, I think I, a modern person, can still
I won't starve to death in ancient times! I may not be as strong as those heroines in time-travel novels, and I can run my own business successfully in ancient times, but it shouldn't be a problem to support myself.
I was idly flipping through some books that Platycodon found for me, feeling very boring. Platycodon was sitting next to her, embroidering female red. I walked over to take a look out of curiosity, and saw that she was embroidering a Clivia with bright green leaves and orange-red leaves.
Flowers, yellow-white stamens, and the Clivia are so lifelike on the white handkerchief. I secretly marveled at how skillful women were in ancient times. For example, in modern times, what I do most with needles is cross-stitch. I embroider according to the pattern, and it’s basically not difficult.
, it just takes some time.
"Bikyo, your hands are so skillful. If I could only stare, could you help me embroider a handkerchief some other time?" Kikyo concentrated on the embroidery and didn't notice me coming. I suddenly made a sound to scare her.
a jump
"Feng Qing, if you don't think my embroidery is ugly, I will embroider the strips for you another day. Just tell me the pattern." She raised her eyes and smiled, and continued to thread the needle with her head down.
"Platycodon, there are so many flowers in the garden, but I didn't see Clivia. Why don't you embroider other things but this Clivia?" I walked back to the table and poured myself a cup of tea.
"Feng Qing, do you know this flower? In fact, I also think this flower is beautiful. There are many of them in Prince Pingjian's dormitory..." She fell silent as she spoke, raised her head and glanced at me, her expression a little unnatural.
.I began to wonder in my heart, she didn’t embroider any flowers, but she embroidered the clivia? And that flower was only found in Xiao Yifeng’s dormitory. It couldn’t be because Xiao Yifeng liked it. She loves the house and the bird! If she really loves flowers, she would embroider them.
, it’s impossible not to even know the name of this flower. What kind of person is she? She doesn’t seem to be very scheming... Am I looking at her too innocently, or is she hiding it too well?
Pretending to glance at her casually, she has tender white skin, an oval-shaped face, thin willow eyebrows, slightly parted red lips, and a pair of smart big eyes. In fact, if she dresses up well, she should be no worse than Yuan Zhiyou.
Think about it, what does this have to do with me! In ancient times, men thought it was normal to have three wives and four concubines. Even if Kikyo really liked Xiao Yifeng, as long as Xiao Yifeng had the intention, he would accept her as a concubine.
It's not impossible. Thinking about it this way, I feel that Yuan Zhiyou is so pitiful. She hasn't even entered the door yet. Someone is already interested in her man... Sigh!
After sitting for a while, I felt really bored, so I wanted to go out for a walk. But apart from Yousi Garden where I live now, I have been to the front hall and Fengyouyuan, and I am not familiar with other places in this palace.
"Platycodon, can you take me to see the Clivia you mentioned?" I turned around and asked Platycodon, who was lowering his head.
"You are not allowed to walk around in the prince's bedroom... outsiders... are not allowed in," she looked at me and whispered.
I frowned, you, a middle-class maid, can come in and out, why can't you move around at will? It seems that Xiao Yifeng is really different about this girl. I thought that if I don't want to go, I won't go! It's just a few flowers.
Seeing that she was only paying attention to the needlework in her hands, I stopped disturbing her and walked out of the yard by myself, planning to find Zhiyou. I only stayed there for half a month in ancient times, and I already felt bored. I couldn't imagine them in purdah.
Women almost never leave the house or step outside the door throughout their lives. Could it be that their days were limited to writing poems, playing some songs, and doing some embroidery? For a quiet person like me, I would go crazy just thinking about it.
When I arrived at the gate of Fengyouyuan, I was about to go in. I saw a man in red standing on the bridge not far away. Because of the distance, I couldn't see his face clearly. I only knew that he was very tall. I was puzzled: I had never noticed that there was someone in this palace.
Did this person come here after we went on an outing this time? People say curiosity kills the cat, and actions are always taken when reason is blurred.
When I was about to get close to the man, he turned around and walked towards the other end of the bridge. This aroused my curiosity even more. I had to see who you are? So I followed his path and came to a
At the entrance of the courtyard, I looked up and saw the name "Lanyin Garden" written above. When I walked in, I saw a large area of thin-leaf Clivia and a smiling Clivia. I immediately thought of the sentence "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water."
The flowers of Clivia are not as magnificent as peonies, nor as fragrant as jasmine, nor as gorgeous as roses, but its leaves are green and shiny, and the flowers look upward like torches. The flowers are orange-red, dignified and generous, and the smiling Clivia is
The flowers are drooping, subtle and deep, elegant and solemn, and have a special charm.
I blurted out: Hundreds of grasses and thousands of flowers are new day and night, and this king knows spring under his bamboo. Although he is not as beautiful as a beautiful girl, he has a fragrance like a virtuous man. I stretched out my hand to pick a few flowers, but before I touched the flowers, a voice stopped me.
"Miss Yun, don't you think this flower is beautiful? Why did you pick it? If you pick it, it will wither."
I was startled and looked up at the source of the sound. I saw that the man looked familiar, so I searched around in my head. It turned out to be the man in purple that I had seen in Meiyuan that day - Luo Zixuan. I retracted my hand in embarrassment and said, "Luo Zixuan? What the hell?"
You? How come you are in Pingjian Palace? Do you know Xiao Yifeng or Xiao Yichen?" I asked a lot of questions as soon as I opened my mouth.
The corner of Luo Zixuan's mouth raised, "Yun... uh, Feng Qing, you asked so many questions at once, which one should I answer first?"
"Um, I'm sorry, it was the first time I saw a strange handsome guy in Prince Pingjian's palace. I got excited and asked a few more questions... Haha."
"Can I understand that you are praising me? Feng Qing, you are still so interesting." Luo Zixuan smiled even brighter after hearing what I said.
"Then I'll answer you one by one! I came to the Bing Kingdom for official business, and I'm in the palace because I'm visiting friends. I know Xiao Yifeng and I know Xiao Yichen. With this answer, Feng Qing is satisfied." After speaking, Luo Zixuan crossed his chest with his hands and eyes.
Looking at me with a smile
I coughed sheepishly, "Well, I'm not checking household registration, don't be so serious."
"Checking household registration? What is that?" Another curious baby
"No, it's nothing... You said you came to the Bing Kingdom for official business. Which country are you from? You came to Pingjian Prince's Mansion to visit Xiao Yifeng, right? But he doesn't seem to be in the mansion." Why do I always forget
I'm no longer in the modern age, and some modern words keep popping up. It seems that I have to pay more attention in the future. It doesn't feel good to be treated as a monster.
"I know, Xiao Yifeng has entered the palace, why should I wait here for him to come back? This is his dormitory, and I am from the Wu Kingdom."
I suddenly thought, this is Xiao Yifeng's dormitory? I'd better leave quickly! Otherwise, if he knows that I came to his yard and almost picked his flowers, I will change my face again. In fact, I am really stupid,
Platycodon said that orchids were only planted in Xiao Yifeng's dormitory. I should have reacted when I saw such a large number of orchids.
"I didn't know this was Xiao Yifeng's dormitory, so I'll go back first. When he comes back, don't say I've been here! Just pretend you've never seen me, please." I clasped my hands and bowed to Luo Zixuan.
Turn around and walk out of the yard
Luo Zixuan followed me out and said, "Why are you so afraid of Xiao Yifeng? Is he not good to you?"
I looked up at him and saw the distress in his eyes. He must have misunderstood me and the big ice cube with the flute? He also thought that the big ice cube with the flute was not good for me. I shook my head and said, "No, you
I misunderstood, Xiao Yifeng and the others are very nice to me, but Xiao Yifeng doesn't like others to enter and leave his dormitory at will. I just saw a person and followed him out of curiosity. I didn't know that was Xiao Yifeng's dormitory."
Hearing this, Luo Zixuan stood still and looked at me, and asked seriously, "Feng Qing, what is the relationship between you, Xiao Yifeng and Xiao Yichen?"
I shrugged my shoulders, "It's a life-saving grace. I almost died in the snow, but they saved me."
"Really..." Why did I feel a little relaxed and a little excited when I heard his voice? What's wrong with me being rescued?
"Then what do you think it is? Am I the woman of one of them? Or am I the concubine of one of them?"
"Feng Qing... you are not being subtle in your words... I... I don't think so." He obviously lacked confidence and said no. In ancient times, women were involved with men, and most of them had some relationship with that man.
No wonder he thinks so
"Actually, I understand that others who don't know must think that I am the pampered woman of Prince Jinwuzang, but as long as I know that I am not, that's okay. People live for themselves, and it's very tiring to live with rumors.
hard"
"Feng Qing, you are very special, so special that it is difficult for people to ignore..."
I lowered my head and kicked the snow. "Actually, I am very ordinary. I am no different from ordinary women. Don't think of me in a complicated way."
Luo Zixuan was about to speak when a red shadow came over next to him, "Tai...Zixuan, Prince Pingjian and the second prince of Bing Kingdom are back." I saw Luo Zixuan wink at the man, who was originally called "Tai."
I changed my name to "Zixuan"... I looked at the man suspiciously, and I was stunned...
