I spent a day in Liu's Mansion in panic, and I was always in a state of uneasiness. Any loud noise would make me jump like a spring. Lu'er and Li'er had nothing to do, so they found paper-made Kongming lanterns.
He bent his knees and sat on the imperial concubine's bed, facing outside in a daze.
The sky was just dark, and the two girls had just finished making the lamp. They happily held the lamp and walked out. In this era, there were no violent burning materials such as kerosene. What was used was a kind of wood called oil firewood. In fact, it was
Inside the knots of the metasequoia tree, there is slowly seeping flammable oil that accumulates over time. Luer called the family worker to find firewood, put it in an iron plate, and lit a fire. First, black smoke blackened the white lampshade and filled it with heat. Later,
The lights began to rise slowly.
I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the lights fading away gloomily. I didn’t know what the situation was like outside now. What would I do if my fourth brother’s Moulin Rouge was really closed down? Li’er tiptoed over and patted me on the shoulder.
With a horrified look on my face, I asked what made me uncomfortable, but I waved my hand and said nothing.
He fell back, lay straight, and continued to stare at the red beams in a daze. Suddenly there was no sound outside, and even the annoying insects seemed to have become quieter. When he got up, he saw the two of them and some servants standing outside the door.
With a concerned look on his face and a warm feeling running through his heart, he smiled at them and just said that he was thinking about something and asked them to be quiet.
Lu'er nervously rubbed the slender wound on her hand from the bamboo skewer she was cutting. Her pink cherry mouth opened and opened again and again, but she hesitated to speak. Everyone seemed a little anxious, and they all pushed her with their crutches.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, Lu'er." I sighed again, walked down the imperial concubine, and casually combed the hair hanging down my chest with my hands.
"Uh..." She licked her lips, and the wound on her hand became red and swollen from rubbing it herself.
He opened her eyes, slapped her self-abusing hand away and said, "Don't do this! It will become inflamed and suppurative!" Maybe she was not as fragile as her own body before, and any slight infection would wipe out her life.
"Miss... that..." She buttoned her head, and I looked impatiently at the "support team" behind her. Why did this "sensible" girl make so many little moves?
"Miss! It's actually like this!" Changgui raised his hand, and Li'er pulled him nervously. My heart skipped a beat, what are these people doing? I'm usually too nice to them, and they don't take me seriously.
If the master doesn’t tell me, does he still want to cause me a heart attack?
"Haha, Miss, I'm here to join the army!" Lu'er smiled naughtily and spat out her pink tongue. I was stunned for a moment! Then I thought of something, and all the people who piled up on the threshold ran away in a hurry. I yelled and scolded them a few words,
He walked back into the house muttering to himself, blaming their ghosts and spirits, no matter how big or small. He walked to the bronze mirror, put on rouge, and as if remembering something, lifted up his skirt and walked out the door.
He called them, and as soon as he chased them to the entrance of the courtyard, he bumped into someone.
I looked up at the man. His dark skin was wheat-colored and healthy, he was majestic, his eyebrows were like tailoring, his face was like a knife, and he was resolute and handsome. I grinned, pulled his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Cousin Xiang!
You are finally willing to come over and see me."
A flash of panic flashed in Xiang Yinong's eyes, he pulled my hand on his arm, stretched out his hand to scratch my nose and said, "You girl." He smiled at me, his teeth as bright as the bright moon, looked around and whispered seriously.
He said: "Something happened in the palace. I came here to talk to Prime Minister Liu. I don't want to talk to the Minister and the others who came first without my share, so I came to see you first." After saying that, I felt a little disappointed.
The tip of my heart aches a little.
It is actually very far-fetched to call Xiang Yinong his cousin. He is the nephew of the eldest lady, and should be Zijin's cousin. Because he is a concubine, in the general's house full of loyalty, no matter how high his ambition and martial arts are, he can only
He joined the local army as a small soldier. Fortunately, during a military training, Prime Minister Liu Bole recognized a good horse and recruited him into the Prime Minister's Office as a military staff officer. He usually dealt with local affairs outside and would come here regularly every month.
They discussed some military secrets and the like.
"Oh." Looking at him, he replied softly. It is a virtue for a woman to have no talent! Women are not allowed to discuss court affairs. Looking at him, she felt much better and unconsciously traced his outline on the stone table with her index finger.
.I think I like him, because my heart beats faster and I blush when I see him. More importantly, he looks like the monitor. He is much taller than the monitor, and the charm between his eyebrows is slightly similar, which makes me even more moved.
What makes him stand out is his confidence, calmness, firmness and uprightness when he fills his bow with arrows and points them at his prey.
"How are you, Princess?" A slight sadness flashed across her face, and she clenched her hands into fists and placed them on her abdomen.
I didn't pay much attention to my fingers while drawing on the stone table, and I hurt my nails when I applied force. I bit my lip and said, "My sister married into the Prince's Mansion more than a year ago, and she came back twice in total. The time was short, and we couldn't have a good chat."
On weekdays, aunt and your Miss Yun go to talk to her about old times." I didn't know if my words would hurt my nose, so I lowered my head to my chest to prevent him from seeing any unhappiness on my part.
It is well known in the Liu family that Xiang Yinong likes his sister, and it is also one of the reasons why his father wanted to promote him but kept him on the job. Everyone knows that Zijin is the best choice for the crown princess, and there will be many beauties at flower viewing parties.
, showing off her grace at the Autumn Crab Banquet, etc., coupled with the first-class beauty and the powerful civil and military background of the Prime Minister's Palace, there is no reason why Zijin should not be the princess and become the master of the harem in the future.
He nodded as if he was missing something, speechless.
He slightly raised his eyebrows, but he had nothing to say. A thousand words could only be said about secret love, which was so bitter that it was hard to express. Yun Miao, Xiang Yinong's fiancée, his parents' orders, and the matchmaker's words, if it weren't for the fact that there was always Zijin among them.
, they also got married a long time ago. Why not get married earlier? Getting married earlier puts an end to my ignorant thoughts.
"Cousin, when are you going to get married?" When he spoke, his tongue was a little tied.
My question caught him by surprise, and he smiled and said, "You girl, your wedding candy is indispensable."
"I'm afraid that if you keep dragging it on like this, Sister Yun is considered a beauty after all. If you want to delay someone's youth, what will happen if they don't marry you!" As he said this, he walked out of the courtyard. Xiang Yinong also heard the noisy voice.
With the sound of footsteps, all the lights in the mansion were lit up, and the willow mansion was dyed red and yellow.
Li'er ran up to us in small steps, with her hands on her hips, half-bent, and couldn't breathe for a long time. I couldn't help but feel a little anxious. I prayed in my heart that it wouldn't be the prince who came to the door.
"Miss, too... too... prince..." She finally said a few fragmented words. As soon as I heard it, my legs lost strength and I leaned on Xiang Yinong. He really came...
"The Crown Princess is back!" Li'er took a breath and finished her words in one breath.
