Ever since Li Ji acquired the special ability of "reading minds", almost all the voices he could hear were mixed with calculation, hostility, and suspicion.
He's used to it.
Living in the power center of the Great Zhou Dynasty, all kinds of conspiracies and calculations are necessary, and it is impossible for him to escape.
But Huamanman has become an exception.
She is like an outsider who has strayed into this world, and she is incompatible with the ideas of everyone around her.
She's really, really weird.
Hua Manman didn't expect that the majestic King Zhao would not even give her a quilt, so she could only scold King Zhao in her heart for being too stingy, while pitifully giving up for the next best thing.
"If you don't have a bedding, you can give me a soft pillow."
On the bamboo couch are pillows woven from bamboo.
It's cool to sleep in summer, but it's too hard for Hua Manman, making her head hurt.
She felt that if she continued to sleep with it on her head, the back of her head would be deformed.
Li Ji called a nanny in charge and asked her to buy a new set of mattresses and pillows, asking for soft and comfortable ones.
Mammy didn't understand what he meant, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions, and obediently complied.
Soon the bedding and pillows on the bamboo couch were replaced with a new set.
Hua Manman sat on it, touched the left side and squeezed the right side, the feeling was very soft, she was very satisfied.
She smiled and said, "Thank you, my lord, for the reward!"
Li Ji actually wanted to say that she didn't need to be so troublesome, if she felt uncomfortable sleeping on the bamboo couch, she could definitely sleep on the bed, anyway, he wouldn't come to her room to spend the night every day.
But when the words reached the edge of his mouth, he swallowed them back.
Forget it, for the sake of her sacrificing her life to save him, he will sleep in her room for a few more days.
It's also good for everyone in the palace to see that she is highly valued by him, lest there will be people who don't have good eyesight to plot against her in the future.
King Zhao is still staying in Huamanman's room tonight.
The maid who was in charge of night duty was kicked out by Hua Manman.
She said that it is enough to serve the prince by herself, and there is no need for others to stay in the house.
The maids thought that Hua Ruren was going to do something indescribable with the prince, and all of them blushed with shame and walked quickly.
But what they don't know is that nothing happened between Hua Manman and King Zhao.
The two slept in separate beds, clearly distinct.
While half asleep and half awake, Hua Manman went back to many years ago in a trance.
She was only eight years old at that time, and her father's company went bankrupt because of poor management.
As a result, my father was depressed and drank all day long. Every time he was drunk, his temperament changed drastically, becoming extremely violent and cruel, and he often beat and kicked his wife and daughter.
Mom couldn't stand it anymore, so she ran away secretly.
Mother left, but Hua Manman couldn't leave.
The drunk father was like a devil, grabbing her hair and throwing her on the ground.
She struggled and cried desperately, but her strength was no match for grown men at all. Her head hit the ground heavily, causing her to cry out in pain.
Dad called her a bastard and blamed her for all his failures.
"If it weren't for you, a broom star, my company would not have gone bankrupt! You are a scourge! You are a evil star! Everyone who is close to you will end well! Why don't you die?!"
His voice overlapped with Princess Rouwan's.
Even their expressions overlapped when they said this.
"You are a scourge! You are a evil star!"
Hua Manman suddenly opened his eyes, waking up from the nightmare.
In front of you is the beam of the house that depicts colorful pictures of flowers blooming and wealth, and the surroundings are quiet.
The doors and windows were closed tightly, and the room without light was extremely dark, and it was impossible to see anything clearly.
She didn't know what time it was, and she didn't dare to call out, so she raised her hand quietly and touched her eyes.
It's in the past.
It's passed.
Don't be afraid.
