"Ahem, Queen Mother, calm down, this is just a story," Xiao Lezi hurriedly poured a bowl of tea for her to calm her down. Seeing that her mood had stabilized, Xiao Lezi continued, "Then Zhu Yingtai only wants to
She was attracted by Liang Shanbo and did not want to marry Ma Wencai, but Zhu's parents refused to allow her to marry Liang Shanbo, who had no money and power. They were determined to beat the couple and force Zhu Yingtai to marry Ma Wencai..."
When she talked about the ending where Zhu Yingtai ran to Liang Shanbo's grave desperately and cried bitterly, and the two of them turned into butterflies and flew away on the wind, the Queen Mother's eyes turned slightly red.
She lowered her head and gently wiped the corners of her eyes, sighing deeply: "It's such a pity for such a pair of young people who are deeply in love. But then again, marriage is a matter of parents' order and the matchmaker's words. How can it be decided privately for life? This matter can be decided privately for life.
It's against the rules. Although the Ai family sympathizes with Zhu Yingtai, if this happened to the Ai family, the Ai family would make the same decision as the Zhu family's parents."
"..." Xiao Lezi opened his mouth. He wanted to say that this matter was purely fictitious, and any similarity was purely coincidental. But after thinking about it, he changed to a more euphemistic way of saying, "Although Liang Shanbo has no money, he is very talented.
, and has a loyal character, and treats Zhu Yingtai with sincerity. If the Zhu family's parents did not beat the mandarin ducks, but agreed to Zhu Yingtai's marriage to Liang Shanbo, according to Liang Shanbo's talent, if he participated in the imperial examination, he should be able to get a job.
I am an official and a part-time official. I think it is wrong to have a private life, but the actions of the Zhu family's parents are too unreasonable. If they can take a longer view, they will not force their own daughter to die."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother's eyes moved, as if she had thought of something, her expression became very complicated, and she did not speak for a long time.
Xiao Lezi didn't know what she was thinking, but she didn't dare to interrupt rashly, so she straightened her back and stood still. By the time the Queen Mother came to her senses, her legs were numb from standing.
The Queen Mother's interest was a little low, and she waved her hand tiredly: "That's all for today. You can go back. I'll ask you to come over to play with me in the future."
"Slave, please retire."
Xiao Lezi dragged her almost unconscious legs and silently walked out of Yeyang Palace. Seeing no one around, she squatted on the ground and rubbed her numb calves. At this time, she was tired and hungry, and she didn't want to move.
She wanted to move, but she couldn't move. It was getting late now, so she had to rush back to Tianyi Palace as soon as possible to serve Xiao Yu for dinner.
Paralysis, why is her life so miserable? People traveled through time and enjoyed a good life, but she became a eunuch. She was ordered around all day long, had no human rights or freedom, and lived an extremely miserable life.
She raised her head, looked at half of the sky dyed red by the sunset, and secretly gritted her teeth: Sister will definitely leave this damn palace! Sister will be free!!!
On New Year's Eve, the palace was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. The maids and attendants all put on their new clothes, their faces were beaming with joy, and they greeted each other with happy New Year.
The palace, which used to look solemn and solemn in the past, became lively amid these congratulations.
In the Yeyang Palace, the emperor and the queen mother were sitting on high seats, laughing and chatting from time to time about family gossip. The concubines and their children were sitting below, interjecting a few words from time to time, always keeping the atmosphere calm.
The level of harmony that is neither deserted nor noisy.
During the Chinese New Year, everyone was dressed very brightly, especially the concubines, who were all dressed up in gorgeous clothes and adorned with jewels. They sat there motionless, like human-shaped lamp tubes, emitting a warm and dazzling light.
Xiao Lezi stood behind Xiao Yu, in the entire hall. Among all the princes, only Xiao Yu and the prince did not have their mother by their side, making them look a little lonely. Fortunately, the queen mother was thinking about them and asked them by name from time to time.
In a word, the two of them always maintain a sense of presence.
The Queen Mother gave each of them a red envelope. After Xiao Yu got the red envelope, she changed hands and secretly gave it to Xiao Lezi.
Xiao Lezi weighed the weight of the red envelope and secretly thought that there must be a lot of money in it. It was worthy of being an imperial family, and it could be worth her hard-earned money for a month.
The evil feudal class!
After everyone had the reunion dinner together, it was time to watch the New Year's Eve. The women stayed in the warm hall, eating fruits and snacks, chatting and gossiping, comparing themselves with each other, and fighting openly and secretly. It was even more exciting than the drama on the stage.
The princes were called to the study by the emperor, where they first took a test on their schoolwork, then summarized the events that happened this year, and expressed their own independent opinions and new plans for the coming year.
This kind of family meeting naturally does not allow outsiders to participate. Xiao Lezi was left outside the study. She had nothing to do. She guessed that the lecture in the study would not end for a while, so she planned to go to the kitchen to get some food first. She was already hungry.
For most of the day, I really couldn't hold it any longer.
Everyone in the kitchen left early. They had no relatives in the palace, but on this night that symbolized reunion, they would gather together in twos and threes, eat reunion dinner, congratulate each other and celebrate. Xiao Lezi walked into the empty kitchen
, found two steamed buns that were still warm, and dug out a plate of pickles from the cellar.
Just at this moment, there was a loud bang outside.
There were actually fireworks.
Xiao Lezi squatted on the kitchen steps, eating steamed buns and pickles while admiring the fireworks.
Brilliant fireworks exploded in the night sky, and the stars were dotted and colorful, falling like shooting stars, lighting up half of the night sky.
"is it beautiful?"
Xiao Lezi turned around and looked around, and saw the prince standing behind him. His handsome features were illuminated by the fireworks and cast a layer of magnificent colors, mysterious and unpredictable, but exuding a fatal attraction.
He saw her face turned red from the cold, her brows slightly furrowed, and he reached out to untie the silver fox fur and gently covered her body.
Xiao Lezi was stunned and subconsciously refused: "No, I'm not cold..."
"Don't move," the prince ordered in a deep voice, carefully helping her tie the fox fur tightly.
Looking at the handsome features so close at hand, Xiao Lezi's heart beat faster involuntarily. In order to cover up his embarrassment, he had to turn his head away and miss the vague scent of ambergris on his body: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern."
"From now on, you don't have to call yourself a slave in front of me."
Xiao Lezi sniffed: "I obey your orders."
"..." The prince's eyes rarely revealed a hint of helplessness and frustration, "Do you have to be so alienated from me?"
Xiao Lezi lowered his head and stuffed the last half of the steamed bun into his mouth, chewing and swallowing. The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. The prince saw that she didn't speak. Although he was angry, he had no choice but to lift up a corner of his robe.
, sitting beside her casually.
Also sitting on the ground, Xiao Lezi looked like a street vendor, but the prince seemed to be sitting on a high-quality cashmere carpet, so elegant and noble.
This is the contrast. Xiao Lezi consciously closed his legs, moved to the side without leaving a trace, and put some distance away from the prince, trying his best not to stay in the same shot with him.
The fireworks are still vying to bloom, as brilliant as yesterday's glory, and fleeting in the blink of an eye.
The two of them watched the fireworks in the sky quietly, and the atmosphere was extremely quiet. After watching for an unknown amount of time, Xiao Lezi felt his neck was a little sore from looking up, so he withdrew his gaze and tried to twist his neck, but he accidentally caught the prince's gaze staring at him.
.
One of his legs is straight, the other is half-bent, one hand is placed on the bent knee, and the other hand is supported on the ground behind him. His upper body is slightly tilted back, his head is turned over, and his eyes are fixed for a moment.
Stick to her.
There was a dark light floating in the dark pupils, as if something was rising and falling.
Suddenly, Xiao Lezi felt that he was frozen and couldn't move his body.
Damn it, is she possessed by evil spirits? Wake up quickly, you must not be tempted by men!
There was a war between heaven and man in her heart, and she didn't notice at all that the prince's upper body was slowly moving closer to her, and he called softly: "Xiao Lezi..."
"Um...well!" Xiao Lezi's eyes widened, looking at the handsome face that suddenly enlarged in front of him, and he was so frightened that he froze in place.
Fireworks bloom one after another in the night sky, and the stars shine brightly.
At this moment, it was like daylight had fallen.
Perhaps the atmosphere was too beautiful, or perhaps the prince's gaze was too gentle. Little Lezi felt that he might drown in the night at any time.
Uh-huh-huh, male lust really kills people!
Their lips met, but they did not go deeper. The kiss was not mixed with any affection. It was quiet, as if the river of time was flowing slowly. All the glitz around them faded away, and they could only hear each other's breathing.
Xiao Lezi felt that something in his head suddenly collapsed, leaving only a blank space. His body trembled uncontrollably and his heart beat rapidly.
The prince let go of her lips, rubbed his thumb slowly along her lips, and smiled softly: "I suddenly discovered that I actually like you quite a bit."
"..."
Is this a confession?
very scary!
Xiao Lezi suddenly woke up, widened his eyes in horror, and stared at him in disbelief: "Are you kidding me?"
The prince raised his beautiful eyebrows: "I never joke."
"Are you drunk?"
"I'm not drinking tonight."
Xiao Lezi sniffed hard and found that there was indeed no smell of alcohol. He thought for a moment and then said, "Did you take the wrong medicine?"
The prince's face slowly darkened: "It seems that I've been doting on you so much lately. I dare to say anything when I open my mouth. I've become more courageous."
Xiao Lezi shrank his shoulders and closed his mouth obediently.
The prince snorted coldly: "I already said that I like you, shouldn't you also express your feelings appropriately?"
How do you feel about being confessed by the demon BOSS? Should you accept it or reject it?
If she accepts it, it is absolutely impossible! She has no intention of falling in love with the prince, let alone becoming a member of the army of three thousand beauties. This is completely contrary to her life ideal!
But if she refuses...how should she speak? Although she is protected by Xiao Yu now, compared to the prince, Xiao Yu is inferior in terms of status and scheming. If she really hits the prince the hardest, she will be in trouble in the future.
I'm afraid life in the palace will not be easy, so I have to be careful with my words to try not to hurt his glassy heart like last time.
Xiao Lezi felt that this matter was too fantastical and couldn't digest it for a while. He stared at it and stayed there at a loss.
She felt that she must be stupid like this.
After struggling for a long time, Xiao Lezi finally thought of the words and spoke carefully. The prince immediately pricked up his ears and listened nervously.
Xiao Lezi: "Your Highness is not only handsome and handsome, but also elegant and noble. His status is unmatched by anyone. To be liked by His Highness is a blessing that I have cultivated for three generations." (To be continued)
