The night sky in the capital is like a curtain, with dark clouds under the stars and moon. Looking from a distance, the most prosperous ancient city in the world looks desolate, with only a few lights in the deep palace buildings.
"The nights in this capital are not as warm as those in Yangzhou... ugh!"
With a faint sigh, Mrs. Sai landed in the unknown mansion with her clothes half untied, revealing her soft and light clothes. When her clothes were half untied, she suddenly saw a trace of rain falling from the sky and hanging on the flower vines in the window. It stopped for a moment.
Steps into bed.
The servants in the house were busy, the stove was turned on in the kitchen, and the aroma of meat came from the house.
The warm scene of our home has become much cooler with a drop of rain and dew, and it seems like two different worlds from the deserted night sky.
Unexpectedly, this scene touched Mrs. Sai's thoughts. A trace of sadness appeared in her eyes, and she sat in front of the window again holding an oil lamp.
I have been thinking about coming to the capital for half my life, and now that I have achieved my wish, why do I always feel miserable?"
Looking out the window, Mrs. Sai murmured to herself.
Just as he heard quick footsteps outside the house, he saw a figure appearing in front of the door. Judging from his appearance, it was obviously Xiaoqing, his maidservant who had been following him for many years.
"Dong dong dong..."
"Madam...Madam..."
"Why are you so anxious?"
"The person Madam misses has come. Does Madam see or not?"
"The person I miss?" Mrs. Sai was stunned for a moment, then smiled miserably, "Who else in the world do I miss? Isn't it the prince grandson or the royal lady brought back by Jiangnan tonight? I am all these people.
I don’t want to see you.”
"My wife is an old friend of Yangzhou."
"An old friend from Yangzhou? Who is it?"
"My lady's husband, the young master of the Xia family, the young master of Xia Shang Xia."
"It's him?!"
Mrs. Sai was suddenly startled. When she got up, she accidentally knocked over the candlestick and quickly put out the fire.
The candlestick overturned seemed to have poured cold water on Mrs. Sai, which made her calm down a lot, and she smiled miserably: "You can't have fun with me. The young master of the Xia family is in Suzhou, how can he come to the capital? Besides... I and Na Xia
The young master is just a casual acquaintance, so why do you need to meet him in person?"
"Madam, my servant saw it with my own eyes. Moreover, the young lady brought him back. Although his identity is a bit strange, he is definitely Mr. Xia. Madam, my servant has already brought the message. As for whether to see him or not, it is up to the madam to decide.
If you don’t see me, I’ll take my leave first.”
"Wait!" Mrs. Sai almost blurted out. Although the words were brief, her tone betrayed her excitement.
Maybe even Mrs. Sai herself didn't understand where her inner excitement came from. She just felt that what her maid said was true. In the whole world, she was the only one who missed her, her old friend from Yangzhou, right?
But if you think about it carefully, why should you think about that young man from Yangzhou? Why do you have the right to think about him? Why should you think about him? The relationship between you and this person seems to be like drifting between falling flowers and running water.
, where is a little pause?
Mrs. Sai's already numb thoughts became active when she heard the words "Xia Shang". After thinking about it, she even felt a little shy. She couldn't help but cover her hot face with her cold hands, and all kinds of emotions suddenly surged.
I don't know what my mood is.
"Madam...Madam..."
Xiao Qing at the door called softly twice more.
"Right away...I'll be here right away."
As soon as Mrs. Sai came back to her senses, she became much more anxious. She hurriedly straightened her hair and was about to go out.
But when I got to the door, I thought of my disheveled appearance again, stamped my feet angrily, and hurried back to the dressing table to work on it wholeheartedly.
Once a woman concentrates on something, she loses track of time.
This made Xiao Qing, who was waiting outside the door, depressed. He called her several times, but the response from inside was all wait.
After several times, Xiaoqing couldn't wait any longer and opened the door on her own, only to see that the lady was dressing up carefully.
"Hey!" Xiaoqing sighed, "Madam, I'll let you help me."
When Mrs. Sai saw Xiao Qing coming, her expression was a little strange. Looking at the charming face in the bronze mirror, she suddenly felt embarrassed and unspeakable.
Xiaoqing is the emperor's servant, the maid whom the emperor left her to serve him, and now she is dressing up carefully to meet other men. Could there be a misunderstanding?
"Xiaoqing...I...actually, it's not what you think..."
"Madam, you haven't regarded Xiaoqing as one of your own, right?"
"I……"
"Madam, you don't need to say more. Although I have been practicing martial arts since childhood, I am still a woman. I have seen it with my own eyes following Madam these years. Madam is water, but it is not a ruthless flowing water, but a warm spring with emotion.
It is natural for people to do things with love. The maid saw that Madam has never smiled since she came to the capital, and she felt uncomfortable. Today, there is finally someone who can arouse Madam's happiness and anger. This is a good thing, and the maid wants to see her.
Arrived."
"Xiaoqing, you...you..." Mrs. Sai looked surprised. She didn't expect to hear such words from her maid.
While talking, Liu Qing had walked behind Mrs. Sai, picked up the hairpin, and tried to decorate it for Mrs. Sai while saying: "Madam, in my heart, I have already regarded Mrs. Sai as my relative, not those so-called
Master, my maid's heart is always towards the madam. As long as the madam likes it and makes her happy, no matter what happens, the maid will always support it. Even if it is taboo, so what? Madam has suffered all these years.
We have suffered enough, and it’s time to enjoy ourselves. No matter who he is, as long as my wife likes it, what’s the harm in dressing up more?”
No matter who he is, as long as you like it, what's the harm in dressing up more?
These words flowed into Mrs. Sai's heart like honey, and for no reason she returned to her youth. Her heart was throbbing, but it was like a deer bumping around. It really made people panic, and even made her blush.
Shyly, a touch of rosy color appeared on her face, she lowered her head slightly, and smiled at the corners of her mouth. This plump figure was so charming that a little girl could not compare to it, and even the flower vines outside the window were so shy that they lowered their petals.
I don’t know how much time it took, and I don’t know how many different combinations of hair accessories she wore, before Mrs. Sai was properly dressed and walked out of her house with a smile on her face.
Passing by the hall, I heard that Jiang Nan was meeting guests in the hall. They were talking and laughing, and seemed to be quite drunk. Mrs. Sai shook her head helplessly.
Until she arrived at the door of the guest room where Xia Shang was staying, Mrs. Sai became panicked again.
I don’t know what to say after meeting, where to sit, what expression to use...
Thinking about it, I felt that I had never been like this in Yangzhou before. Why couldn't I calm down after not seeing each other for a long time?
Looking at the sky and the hazy drizzle, I thought to myself that he wouldn't be leaving tonight, right?
If I, a woman, break into a man's room late at night, how coy and coquettish would that scene be?
Mrs. Sai's thoughts were wandering and she was not ready yet, but Xiao Qing beside her had already started knocking on the door.
"Dong dong dong..."
"Mr. Xia, Mr. Xia..."
For a long time, rhythmic snoring came from the house... (To be continued)
