Lu Shuang'er was dressed in smoky purple cloud make-up and satin finger-colored brocade dress with hundreds of flowers and flying butterflies. She was wearing a small golden hairpin with a pendant angle, a small phoenix hairpin inserted obliquely, and a cup-sized peony flower on her temples, making her delicate and gorgeous. , slim and moving.
Ye Zhen had never met Lu Shuang'er before she was alive. She had heard that Ye Zhen was the number one person in the capital and Lu Shuang'er was the second. But at that time, she never paid attention to Lu Shuang'er. She was just the daughter of the Emperor Shang. Compared with the daughter of a famous family
But Lu Shuang'er just beat her, Ye Zhen.
"Grandmother, please hurry up. Today, I'm here to enjoy the flowers for fun. Everyone just act as usual, don't worry about it." Lu Shuang'er personally helped Mrs. Lu up, without even glancing at Ye Zhen.
Mrs. Lu smiled so much that a flower grew on her face, "The imperial concubine is a noble concubine, how can I not be polite."
"What did grandma say?" Lu Shuang'er chuckled, and said to the palace people behind her, "Quickly give the old lady a seat, and everyone else should sit down too. I can hear the bustle here from a distance, yes Didn't you say something funny?"
After hearing this, Ye Zhen raised her eyes to Mr. Shan who was standing behind the crowd, and suddenly saw a trace of hatred and killing in Mr. Shan's eyes. She was startled for a moment, and when she tried to see clearly again, Mr. Shan was already a man. The face calmed down.
Is she wrong? Why did Mr. Shan look at Lu Shuang'er with such eyes
"Imperial concubine, it was Princess Liuhua who made a bet with Mr. Shan just now. The princess doesn't like the merchant's daughter. The reason is that the third sister can't be admitted to the women's college, but Mr. Shan said that even if the third sister only learned the thousand-character essay, she can still do it. He was admitted to the academy." Miss Lu Si was eager to show in front of Lu Shuang'er, and wanted to take the opportunity to step on Princess Liuhua, so she immediately stood up and said.
After Lu Shuang'er heard Miss Lu Si's words, a gleam of disgust flashed in her eyes. She looked at Princess Liuhua lightly, and then at Miss Lu Si, "Who dares to say that the Lu family is a merchant now? The emperor has sealed The grandfather of this palace is the Marquis of Anyang, have you forgotten it?"
The Fourth Miss Lu failed to please her, but Lu Shuang'er was displeased instead. Her face changed slightly, and she bowed her head and retreated.
Ye Zhen looked at it and sneered in her heart. No one knew better than her how much Lu Shuang'er hated the identity of a merchant's daughter. When her soul was wandering in the palace, she saw that Lu Shuang'er just because the palace maid accidentally said the word "merchant girl", Killed the opponent all over the house.
Princess Liuhua's face was ugly. She was jealous that Lu Shuang'er could be favored by the emperor, but now her mother was not as trusted by the emperor as before. She didn't dare to do anything to Lu Shuang'er here, so she could only suppress the anger in her heart.
Lu Shuang'er looked contemptuously at Princess Liuhua, and then turned her gaze back, "Grandma, is this the third sister?"
"Mrs. Hui, this is the third girl who lived in the border town since she was a child. Her nickname is Yaoyao." Mrs. Lu hurriedly held Ye Zhen's hand and said.
"Third Sister, come quickly and let Ben Gong take a look." Seeing Ye Zhen's dark and thin appearance, Lu Shuang'er showed a gentle smile on her face.
Ye Zhen walked over with her face downcast. She had exhausted all her strength to not vent her hatred, but in the eyes of others, she was timid and cowardly. Those who had expected her Everyone is slightly disappointed.
Such a petty person is actually treated differently by Mr. Shan, and it seems that Mr. Shan's vision is nothing more than that.
"Well, she looks as aura as Third Aunt, do you still get used to living in the capital?" Lu Shuang'er took Ye Zhen's hand and looked her up and down. She felt that she was not on the table, so she lost her vigilance. The smile on his face became softer.
Ye Zhen replied in a low voice, "Go back to your mother, I'm still used to it, grandma treats me very well."
Lu Shuang'er smiled slightly, "I like you just looking at you. The daughters of our Lu family have never lost to others. You have to work harder and get admitted to the academy with your own strength."
The implication of this is that as a noble concubine, she would not help her enter the women's college for the sake of her own sister.
Ye Zhen smiled timidly, "Yaoyao will not let the empress down."
Yes, she will not disappoint anyone. One day, she will let everyone know that the daughter of their Ye family cannot be replaced by just anyone.
Lu Shuang'er nodded with a smile, and told her to go back to Mrs. Lu, "I heard that this year's King Chrysanthemum bloomed exceptionally well. I came here because of the fame. I can't let me down."
Mrs. Wu laughed, "Your Majesty will not be disappointed, and only King Chrysanthemum is worthy of teaching Your Majesty how to appreciate it."
"Everyone, let's go enjoy the flowers with me!" Lu Shuang'er said with a smile.
Fourth Miss Lu and Second Miss Lu came to surround the old lady, and Ye Zhen was pushed to the back by them.
Seeing the crowd crowding Lu Shuang'er away, Ye Zhen's footsteps slowly stopped, she was not interested in enjoying the flowers, she had other things to do.
There was no one else in the bamboo shed, and even Mr. Shan and Princess Liuhua went to other places to enjoy the flowers.
Ye Zhen glanced at the crowd in the distance, then turned and walked in another direction.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, she slowed down. As the familiar road got closer, the memories of that year gradually revived in her mind.
If she hadn't run around and lost her way that year, she wouldn't have had so many things in the future, and she wouldn't have lost her heart.
The grove was right in front of her, Ye Zhen paused, she seemed to see the boy and the girl cuddling each other, and the memory flooded into her mind like a flood breaking a bank.
It was fast and painful, and she couldn't suppress it even if she wanted to.
When she was seven years old, it was the flower viewing party hosted by Ye's family. She came early with her grandmother, because there were too many people at that time, and her grandmother and mother were busy entertaining guests, so she walked around alone, and ended up Lost in the woods, he met Prince Qin who was framed and fell into a well.
At that time, Mo Rongzhan was blind for some reason, fell into the well and couldn't get out, and the servants around him disappeared. To save him, Ye Zhen ran to find many tree roots and connected them together one by one. In order to rescue him from the well, she still used the knot method her father taught her.
One could see but lost his way, and the other couldn't see and couldn't get out of the woods, so he had to stay where he was and wait for others to find him.
"I only have a little food on me, I'll share half with you." The seven-year-old little Ye Zhen found two pieces of pastry from her body, and handed one to Mo Rongzhan.
"Your hand hurt?" A person who can't see, but other senses are very keen, smelling the bloody smell on Little Ye Zhen's hand, the young Mo Rongzhan's indifferent face was a little moved.
Little Yezhen pouted, and whispered aggrievedly, "I was scratched by a tree root, it hurts."
