Her room in the palace, her love for lily of the valley. What is the purpose of such a thoughtful expression?
Ashang was packing his clothes and said, "Miss, it's much colder at night here than during the day. You must put on thick clothes when you go out."
Listening to Ah Shang's familiar instructions, Mai Mai turned his head and said, "A Shang, you are from Zhuolang Fort." This was not a question, but an affirmation.
Ah Shang paused slightly in his hand movements, raised his eyes to look at Mai Mai with a determined face, and smiled helplessly, "Miss, you can be scary sometimes." He stood up and looked at her calmly, "Xin Su
"I've seen the mistress." She knelt down on one knee, looking very heroic. She didn't look like the obedient maid before.
Mai Mai was not surprised at all by this result. She had already noticed the clues in Ashang's eyes when he saw Yi Su. Her tone even revealed that she was familiar with this place. What other explanation could there be for it other than that he was from here?
What? But no matter what, Ah Shang never hurt himself, and instead tried his best to take care of her. Who it is, what does it matter.
Mai Mai helped her up and asked with some trepidation, "Should I call you Ah Shang Hao, or Xin Su Hao?"
"Miss, please call me Ah Shang. Ah Shang is used to it." Ah Shang blinked at Mai Mai and instantly returned to the smart little maid.
"Your Xingxu is really an extraordinary person. He placed you next to me as early as when we were in Prince Qing's Mansion. He is so thoughtful and thoughtful every step of the way. I really want to see who he is." His target is,
Is it really just you?
"Miss, you will meet the master." Ah Shang pretended to smile mysteriously, but did not say anything. There was no way, the master would not allow it.
Knowing that she wouldn't reveal anything, Mai Mai didn't ask any questions and just smiled.
"Miss, you need to sleep for a while first. Ah Shang will ask you to get up later for the reception banquet." Ah Shang said thoughtfully.
"Um..." Mai Mai hesitated, but still asked, "Will the stars appear?" After doing so many things, it's time for him to show his true form.
"Haha, you'll know as soon as you wake up." Ashangjiao smiled and pushed Mai Mai to the bedside, "Miss, you'd better recuperate first, and then appear in front of those guys in your fullest posture, let them
See the future mistress of Zhuolang Castle."
He shook his head and laughed, and stopped thinking about those useless questions. Ah Shang was right, the mystery would be revealed sooner or later. It didn't matter if he didn't show up, at least he didn't have to worry about marrying him so soon.
Mai Mai slept deeply, as if her heart had finally found a sense of belonging after wandering for a long time.
The climate here is much colder than that in Jiangcheng. She has already added a thick quilt to her body. The mattress is also a thick blanket made of cashmere. Sleeping on it is warm and comfortable. She is not used to sleepiness, but this sleep was...
I slept for three or four hours, as if I was trying to make up for all the sleep I had lost before. I slept soundly and soundly.
The sun gradually sets in the west, and the sky is filled with thousands of stars, emitting a charming and dazzling halo.
The door opened gently.
A tall figure slowly approached the woman with a sweet smile on the couch. His light but gentle gaze fell softly on her delicate and white face. The corners of his mouth raised in an elegant and perfect arc. There was only one target.
Only when it's her will he find his own smile...
After being called up by Ah Shang, Mai Mai simply freshened up. She took off her skirt and put on a knee-length coat with narrow sleeves and a round neck. The cuffs and collar had a circle of white fur, which made her face look petite and elegant.
Delicate. On her legs are a pair of cotton trousers and a pair of sheepskin boots that reach her calves.
Since coming to ancient times, Mai Mai hasn't worn pants for a long time. Putting on these ordinary clothes, it is light and comfortable. Looking in the mirror, she took off her hair and braided it into two braids at will. Because of the night
The temperature was very low, so Ah Shang added a white fox jacket to her. Even if you don't know much about leather jackets, you can feel it out just by the feel of your hand. This jacket is worth a lot of money.
Ah Shang looked at Mai Mai who had changed his clothes and burst into laughter.
Mai Mai raised her eyebrows in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Miss, I didn't expect that after you changed your clothes, you looked a few years younger than Ah Shang." You are playful and cute, but you still have the image of a dragon girl. If this would be seen by the folks in Jiangcheng,
When they arrive, they will definitely think that their dragon girl has been transformed by her master, and it would be strange not to fight for her master.
Mai Mai followed Ah Shang's words and chuckled, "Okay, Sister Ah Shang, let's go."
The banquet hall in Zhuolangbao is not as luxurious as in the palace, it is like a teahouse for gatherings of friends. Low tables in twos and threes are placed in the center of the hall, with a few blankets thoughtfully spread underneath for covering your body.
For heating. The walls are decorated with rare specimens of vultures and eagles, and torches make "sizzling" sounds from time to time to illuminate the entire hall.
When Mai Mai walked in, Yi Su, Gui Su and the others all stood up and knelt down on one knee, "Mistress." After bowing respectfully, they showed their true nature by doing whatever they were supposed to do.
"Wow, mistress, you look really unique in our grassland clothes." Guisu praised.
Mai Mai's eyes subconsciously glanced at the main seat directly in front, where there was only wine, but no stars.
"Mistress, come and sit here," Lou Su greeted enthusiastically.
"Yeah," Mai Mai didn't hesitate, nodded with a smile, and went to their table at Wusu with Ah Shang.
The saints in white also changed out of their thin skirts, short jackets, cotton skirts around their waists to their knees, and a pair of riding boots on their feet. They were all sassy and pretty. After seeing Mai Mai sit down, they all gathered around the small table next to them.
.
Yi Su was the first to pick up the wine glass, cupped his hands towards Mai Mai and said, "Other places that Yi Su has not rushed back to, welcome the mistress to Yanbei Kingdom." After saying this, he drank the wine.
"Thank you," Mai Mai picked up the cup and took a sip. Instantly, a burning sensation filled her mouth, poured down her throat and into her stomach, bringing out the heat. It made her burst into tears, and she quickly grabbed the tea next to her and sipped it.
Big mouth.
"Haha, miss, Yanbei Kingdom is not only famous for its horses, but also for our strong liquor." Ashang thoughtfully poured another cup of tea and handed it to her.
After drinking two drinks in a row, the discomfort in his stomach eased. Mai Mai pushed the wine glass away and said, "Don't let me see it again, we don't get along."
"Haha," everyone laughed, and no matter how toasted they were, they all agreed to use tea instead of wine.
We laughed and laughed until the table was filled with dishes. A closer look revealed that they were all meat dishes. Not long ago, another roasted whole lamb was served. It seemed to be somewhat close to the eating habits of the Mongolian people.
During the dinner, that Xingxu never showed up. Zhongxu didn’t mention it, and Mai Mai didn’t ask. Since he liked to be mysterious, she didn’t need to find out about him. Perhaps, since Ah Shang appeared next to her,
At that moment, it was already a game without a winner.
Although he couldn't drink strong alcohol, Mai Mai still drank a few glasses of kumiss. Looking at the wanton laughter of the people next to him, Gui Su took advantage of the alcohol to come to Xin Ye and wanted to have a drink with her.
Under the instigation of Kang Su, Lou Su, Liujiu and others, Xin Ye, who had always been calm, suddenly became competitive. He grabbed a bowl of wine and drank it in one go. His heroic aura was not inferior to that of any other man.
Guisu was stunned at first, then his eyes showed admiration, and he drank a glass of wine without saying a word.
In this way, the two of them competed with each other over one cup and one cup at a time. The people next to them were even more happy to see it, and they encouraged and applauded without sparing any effort.
His head felt a little dizzy. Even though the kumis was mild in nature, it would still make Mai Mai feel heady after drinking it for the first time. Taking advantage of everyone's commotion, Mai Mai stood up and slowly walked out of the hall.
The grassland is so quiet at night, so quiet that you can only hear the sound of your own heartbeat. Outside, the world has become pitch black. Only the bright moonlight, emitting light like glass, is faintly sprinkled on the grassland.
Hold your head high, the stars are still shining.
Where is he?
When a life dies, the wind will take away all your breath, time will erase every bit of your existence, and memory will swallow up your past.
Only the bottom of my heart will firmly remember that vivid image. Along with the sun, the moon, and the stars, it will never be erased.
"It's very cold here."
The sudden sound startled Mai Mai. She turned around suddenly and immediately met a pair of dark eyes as clear as water.
"Ah, you...you are..."
Mai Mai stared at the bearded man in front of him. He was the man he met twice in Faxuan Temple and on the street! How could he appear here? A glance at his attire showed that he looked like the man who appeared in the hall that day.
The guards are different. Calculating the time, it is only one day different from the time Kang Su appeared in the palace. In this way, it is very likely that he is a guard here.
The man's cheeks twitched. Although his beard covered half of his face, it could be inferred from his movements that he was smiling.
His gaze shifted from her slightly surprised face to the vast grassland, "Want to ride a horse?" The voice was very soft, as if it would be blown away by the wind at any time. This familiar and ethereal feeling made Mai Mai feel momentarily trance-like.
Without waiting for her to react, the man grabbed her hand and walked down the hall and down the steps.
The slight coldness on her hand made her react immediately, struggling to pull her hand away, but he seemed to be unmoved and held on tighter and tighter. Mai Mai frowned and shouted at him walking in front of her.
He said, "Hey! Let go!" No matter how casual the man on the grassland was, he should have understood that this kind of behavior was a bit abrupt.
The passing guards continued to perform their duties as if they didn't even notice. Mai Mai shook his arms angrily, an idea came to his mind, he cleared his throat and said loudly, "I am the future princess of Xingxiu, you'd better stop now, otherwise,
If your master punishes you, don’t blame me for not reminding you!”
The man didn't respond, only a low chuckle drifted over.
"Are you willing to marry him?"
Mai Mai was slightly startled, staring at him in front of him in confusion. What did he mean by asking? Could it be that he knew he had ulterior motives?
While she was stunned, the man had already taken her to the stable.
Mai Mai saw Xue Yan at a glance, shook off his hand and ran over. Wrapped in white clothes, she looked as happy as an elf dancing wantonly. She was so beautiful that she couldn't bear to look away.
The man's smiling eyes were always looking at her.
"Xueyan," Mai Mai hugged Xueyan's neck, put her face against it, and rubbed its hair like a cat.
Xue Yan turned his head and looked at the person standing at the door. He snorted as if he was dissatisfied. Seeing that the other person ignored him, he turned his head helplessly and tried to stay away from the woman who wanted to press her whole body against him.
She likes snow geese very much.
This discovery made him very happy. After hearing about Xueyan's indulgence towards her, he was really surprised. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, it was really not fake at all. Looking at Xueyan's appearance, she seemed to have been greatly wronged.
She doesn't dare to resist. She just has such a magical power that can make people around her accept her involuntarily and fall in love with her until they can't help themselves.
She has always wanted a pet of her own, but unfortunately, because her brother was still young, her parents did not allow her to keep one. Later, that incident happened, and this idea became even more impossible to realize. After seeing the snow goose, Buried
The little wish deep in my heart sprouted in an instant.
"Want to ride on it?" At some point, the man came behind her and stared at her.
"I thought about it, but I don't know how to ride a horse." Mai Mai just kept clinging to Xue Yan, forgetting the man's previous rudeness.
Suddenly, she felt a tightness in her waist. Her feet were already hanging in the air. Before she could even utter a exclamation, the man had already jumped onto the snow goose with his arms around her.
Warm breath passed by his ears, "I'll teach you." Before Mai Mai could sit firmly, he clamped his legs on the horse's belly and said, "Drive!"
Upon hearing the master's order, the snow goose ran out of the stable like a bolt of lightning and rushed directly outside Zhuolang Fort.
The two people outside the hall watched the flash of light disappear outside the castle.
Kang Su poked Zhen Su next to him, "Zhen, why didn't master tell her the truth? He had to go to all the trouble to trick her into coming here."
A trace of helplessness appeared on Zhen's delicate face, "My master has really good intentions for this mistress. The grassland is not as prosperous and lively as Qisa, and not everyone can adapt to the harsh climate and environment. What's more,
The mistress comes from an official family and has been pampered since she was a child. He doesn't want her to be wronged in the slightest. Even though he knows that she will stay for him, he still hopes that she will fall in love with Yan Beiguo from the bottom of her heart."
Kang Su couldn't bear it and slapped his forehead, "Oh my God, the master will fall in love one day?" I can't imagine that such an indifferent master would do such a thing that would make them laugh out loud. Of course,
He would never have the guts to laugh.
Mai Mai nervously grabbed the snow goose's mane, and was so stiff that he didn't dare to move. Although he had already ridden a horse when he came here, he was hugging Ashang behind him and could not see the thrilling scene ahead.
.What's more, the speed of snow geese is more than twice as fast.
Feeling her tension, the arms around her waist tightened a lot, "Relax your body and don't tighten your legs. The snow goose will think you want it to speed up. Hold the reins tightly and tighten it if you want to stop."
"Huh!" Mai Mai tried to do as he said, but a layer of sweat had already formed in her hands. She took the reins tremblingly and sat up as straight as possible.
The man behind her took the opportunity to press close to her and hugged her whole body.
