Beauty is very important to any woman, but in Papaya and the Blackwood family, every generation must have a young and beautiful woman who must give up her appearance, and finally cannot marry and must use
I will spend my whole life of loneliness to protect Praya.r
In the west courtyard, the housekeeper brought Zana to the door, opened the door and introduced her into the wing: "Miss Zana, this is your room. Can you see if there are any other needs or improvements?"
Zana looked around in the room. The environment here was very good. Compared with the living environment in Paplea, this place was like a wonderland.
"It's very nice here, thank you housekeeper." Zana said politely.
"Okay, since the girl has nothing else to do, the young one will go down first. The room has prepared a charcoal stove, hot tea, and washing water for you. If you need anything else, just call outside the door.
Then someone will come." The housekeeper has made arrangements well. She is a guest brought back by the prince, so she cannot be neglected.
After Zana nodded, the housekeeper left. She was the only one left in the room. She walked to the bed and sat gently on the bed. It was really comfortable. She stroked the soft and comfortable brocade quilt. It was indeed a great country.
The prince has everything he wants, even a small side room is so gorgeous and comfortable.
A few steps away from the bed was the dressing table. There was a bronze mirror placed in front of the table, and there were several jewelry boxes around it. Zana couldn't help but curiously walked forward and sat down, opened the box, and found it quiet inside.
There were some exquisite jewelry boxes and hairpins lying on the floor. When Zana saw them, her eyes lit up with excitement.
She picked up a hairpin and put it on her bun. The decoration of the hairpin made her chuckle in her heart. However, she looked at the black silk veil on her face in the bronze mirror and sat in front of the bronze mirror.
After staring blankly for a long time, she finally slowly removed the veil from her cheek and reflected her true face under the veil in the bronze mirror.
In the exquisite bronze mirror, there was not a beautiful face that would captivate the country. Instead, there was a twisted and ugly face, with red and swollen cheeks. It was particularly eye-catching, and Zana was stunned.
Facing his ferocious face, he frowned, and the next moment the bronze mirror on the table fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
No one dared to look directly at such an ugly face. Even Helianqi had never seen her true face under the veil. There were several twisted and protruding blood vessels on the red and swollen cheeks, which looked like strips of earthworms.
It's particularly disgusting to be entrenched above.
Why should the woman of the Kuroki family bear such a responsibility? But from the day she became sensible, she seemed to know her future destiny, so she would never show the slightest emotion to any man. r
Not wanting to see this ugly face again, Zana covered the ferocious face with the black veil again, sat back on the bed, closed her eyes and rested, sorting out everything she was thinking about, including
The deal with Helianqi.
"Your Majesty, do you need to send someone to tell the palace about your return to the palace?" The housekeeper followed Helianqi and asked solemnly.
"Of course, you send someone to deliver a message and tell the king that I will personally go to the palace to see him tomorrow." After thinking about it, Helianqi ordered the housekeeper to do so.
"Yes, I'll do it now." After saying that, the butler turned and left the prince's room.
Helianqi had been traveling around for more than half a year. When he returned to his room, he seemed a little unfamiliar. However, the place was still exactly the same as when he left. Even the furnishings, the housekeeper did not dare to move at all.
Standing at the window and looking outside, there was no life in the yard under the ice and snow. Counting the days, it would take two months to end these cold days, but he didn’t know when his cold heart would be able to regain its strength.
Where's the vitality?
Xingqing Palace
The cold wind was blowing, and He Lianzhi ordered people to close the doors and windows to prevent Cen Xue from catching cold. There was a table full of fragrant delicacies on the table, which made Cen Xue drool.
"This is really delicious, sour and sweet, very appetizing." Cen Xue kept stuffing sweet and sour pork into her mouth, and she never got tired of eating it. She also asked Lan Qier to serve a bowl of rice for her.
He Lianzhi looked at her recent changes, why did she suddenly become so delicious? No matter how many delicacies were placed in front of him in the past, she had never been so appetizing. What happened these days? Could it be...
Guesses are just guesses, and Dr. Coser needs to personally take her pulse and confirm it. If it is true, there will be a successor to his empire!
Cen Xue raised her head and looked at Helian Zhi who had been watching her eating stupidly. She suddenly stopped using her chopsticks and asked in confusion: "Zhi, what's wrong with you? Why don't you eat?"
"No, it's nothing. I'm just happy to see you eating so deliciously..." He Lianzhi looked at her beautiful and attractive face, and felt warm in his heart.
What do you seem to be expecting? I hope my assumption just now is correct!
"Eat quickly, it's freezing cold today. If you don't eat, the food will be cold." Cen Xue's mouth squirmed and she was chewing a piece of sweet and sour pork.
He Lianzhi dotingly picked up a piece of green vegetables and put it in her bowl, and warned: "You, don't just eat those sweet and sour pork, you should also eat other foods, such as vegetables and fish, these are indispensable.
.”
"I know, I know, when did the King become more concerned about what people eat?" Cen Xue said, putting down the bowl and chopsticks, and looked at him carefully.
Seeing her serious eyes, Helianzhi also put down his bowls and chopsticks, held her hand triumphantly, and asked jokingly: "What's the matter? Do you think Gu is particularly handsome and tall?"
"You - stinky!" Although he was right, Cen Xue didn't want to admit it.
The two of them ate the dinner with gusto. Even the maids who were standing aside couldn't help laughing while listening to the master's conversation. As long as Concubine Xue is here, laughter will always be indispensable in Xingqing Palace.
.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty—" At this moment, Zhao Changde hurriedly walked in from outside the door.
"Looking at you leaving in such a hurry, what happened? Did Tianye send troops to riot on our border again, or did other tribes rebel and cause trouble again?" He Lianzhi put down his bowls and chopsticks, and the smile on his face just now suddenly changed again.
He turned back to the serious and gloomy look of an emperor in the main hall.
"I disturbed the king and the empress while they were having dinner. This old slave deserves to die. But I just received the news that the second prince returned to the house. I was so anxious that I wanted to report it to the king immediately, so I accidentally bumped into the king and the empress. I hope the king will forgive me."
." Zhao Changde knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head to look at the king.
"Oh, it turns out that Qi is back. However, he has been away for more than half a year. Seeing that it is almost the end of the year, it is indeed time for him to come back!" I haven't heard anyone mention this famous name for a long time. Today, Zhao Changde said
When he got up, Helianzhi remembered that he had such a half-brother.
Helianzhi waved his hand to Zhao Changde, who was kneeling on the ground, to get up and speak. This old servant had served him for so many years, so naturally he would not blame him for such a trivial matter.
Cen Xue sat aside, listening to what Zhao Changde said, and carefully searching in her mind what Yu Wu would tell her. The so-called second prince should be Helianqi, the prince who was expelled from the palace since he was a child, because his mother
Not willing to be lonely in the harem, and
Other men were executed after being discovered having affairs, and he was also implicated. If Helianzhi had not ascended the throne and given him the title of prince out of consideration for some childhood brotherhood, he would have been just a man in the market at this time.
An ordinary pawn.
Yu Wu once said that he was the one who led the rebellion back then, which shows that he is not a good person at all. Since he has the heart to win over his wife, will it not be so simple for him to come back this time?
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has sent someone to deliver a message. He will come to the palace in person to see you tomorrow and recommend a candidate for the high priest to your Majesty." Zhao Changde heard the words and picked out the important ones to report to the King.
.
Candidate for the high priest? Ever since Karina left, the position of high priest in Loulan Kingdom has been vacant. She originally wanted to train a successor, but she selected many girls in the country, but none of them satisfied her.
, the only one also gave up this hard-won opportunity.
That person is Shan Yuwu, who is now the young lady of the General's Mansion and Yuwen Tuo's beloved wife!
"Okay, let's see tomorrow and see what kind of person his guy will recommend to me to be the high priest of Loulan Kingdom." He Lianzhi happily picked up the wine in front of him and drank it in one gulp.
But for Cen Xue, who knew what happened in the past, Helianqi's appearance would never be a good thing. At least her feeling told her that it was definitely not simple.
The next day, Helianqi's figure indeed appeared in the palace. Today, he was radiant, his manners were full of elegance, and he had a romantic and uninhibited appearance. Many palace ladies passing by in the imperial garden, after seeing the second prince,
, all fell in love with him.
Zana, who was dressed in black, followed him all the time. Without him to lead the way, she would definitely get lost in this huge palace.
"Your Majesty, how long do we have to wait?" At this time, they waited in the Fengya Hall of the Royal Garden for more than an hour, but they never saw the king.
"Why are you so anxious? Your Majesty should have just gone to court at this moment. Please be patient." Helianqi blocked her mouth with one sentence.
Returning to the imperial garden again, things are different now. Thinking about the moment when he left the palace, and looking at the scenes in front of him, I have to sigh, time flies so fast...
"Your Majesty has arrived -" a high-pitched voice came, and Helianqi and Zana both looked in the direction of the source of the voice.
He Lianzhi, dressed in a dragon robe and a black cloak, strode toward the Qingfeng Pavilion where they were, followed behind him was the old servant Zhao Changde.
