There was a pair of fiery red dragon and phoenix candles burning in the room. Because they burned for a long time, and no one came in to trim the hearts of the candles, the flames jumped a little, and the light and shadow in the room were a little dazed.
Hedge was sitting on the edge of the bed with his eyes down, and there was no emotion on his calm face.
Someone once said in a very disdainful tone that she was full of small calculations, all about how to climb a high branch and have a rich and decent life. ".
Lu Li remembered very clearly that she was fourteen years old that year, which was the time of cardamom and spring.
The prince, the king of Zhao, the king of Chu and several young princes all came to Zhangjiayuanzi, and the young lady invited some wealthy and noble ladies to come over, and set up a chrysanthemum banquet in the pavilion behind Ningbi Pavilion. A maid was waiting there.
She changed the tea for the King of Chu, and the King of Chu smiled at her. She was taken aback by his smile, and as soon as she missed, she buckled the whole cup of tea onto his brocade robe. She was embarrassed and embarrassed, and she lost all her old wit. She only knew how to take out the handkerchief and wipe the tea stain... While in a panic, she heard Jiang sneer lowly.
This is a voice from the nasal cavity, but it expresses the disdain and ridicule to the fullest.
She was already embarrassed, and the voice was in her ears, and she felt a humming in her head, as if blood was pouring out of her whole body.
The young lady was also a little angry, and scolded: "Clumsy, don't hurry up and bring the Prince of Chu down to change clothes!"
The King of Chu smiled indifferently, only waved his hand gently and said, "It's okay, that's it."
She held back her tears, quietly retreated by herself, and found a hidden place to wipe her tears secretly, but things like this happened by coincidence, so she could hear what Jiang shi said to another person.
From that moment on, she told herself that she would never be a concubine in the future, and she would never make someone like Jiang look down.
Who ever wanted to go round and round, but she still wanted to be a concubine, or King Zhao, who even the Jiang family looked down on.
While thinking about it, I heard footsteps outside the door, and then the door was pushed open from the outside in.
Ledge cast aside all the messy thoughts, and with a smile that was just right on his face, he raised his eyes and looked over.
King Zhao, dressed in a casual robe, stood at the door and looked at her for a while, then walked in slowly and casually sat beside her.
Lu Li suddenly jumped up from the edge of the bed in shock, tugging at the corners of his clothes with both hands, lowered his head and asked shyly and timidly, "Your Highness wants to rest in peace?"
King Zhao sat steadily and only asked, "Sleep or not?"
Lu Li was stunned for a moment, and immediately blushed. After a long while, he asked in a low voice, "Real sleep or fake sleep?"
He thought for a while, and replied, "Sleep now."
Lu Li hesitated for a moment, then sat down gently on the other end of the bed with a blushing face, and continued shyly rubbing the corner of his clothes with his head down.
Zhao Wang glanced at her and asked again, "Can you take it off?"
Ledge's face was so red that blood was almost dripping, and he was refusing to speak.
King Zhao had no choice, so he had to add: "Really off."
Only then did Lu Li quickly glance at him, and his voice was as low as the buzzing of a mosquito, "You... take off..."
King Zhao: "..."
King Zhao couldn't help but sighed that his skills were still not as good as this girl. He silently looked at the bed for a long time, and finally sighed, turned to look at her, and said, "Lvli, stop pretending, neither of us will pretend."
Lu Li opened his eyes wide, made a puzzled look, and looked straight at him.
King Zhao got up and poured himself a cup of tea, glanced at her, and asked lightly, "I'm asking you the truth now, are you planning to live a good life with this king, or do you have other ideas?"
Lu Li stared blankly at King Zhao for a long time, then slowly lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice as if talking to himself: "No matter how much you think about it, isn't it just to have a good life?"
Zhao Wang looked at her quietly and did not speak.
Hedge kept his head down and did not speak.
King Zhao saw big drops of tears that rolled down like beads and landed on the back of her thin white hand on her knees, splashing all over the place. His heart was a little soft, secretly said that no matter how much scheming this girl has, it is not easy.
For some reason, he suddenly lost the energy of you coming and I to test each other, he sighed long, and said softly: "Forget it, go to sleep. There are a lot of eyes staring inside and outside this house, I am tonight tonight. Just stopped here. If you are afraid of me, you will take the quilt and go to sleep on the couch outside. "
With that said, he kicked off his shoes and got on the bed.
Lu Li was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up from the bed and stepped forward to wait on King Zhao to rest.
King Zhao was born to be a prince, and he was raised by others. He closed his eyes and was going to sleep, but found that the hedge was quietly lying down beside the bed.
Only then did King Zhao feel a little surprised. He opened his eyes and turned to look at the hedge. He saw that she simply took off the hairpin on her head, wrapped herself in the quilt, clinging to the edge of the bed, and turned her back to him. Lie down.
Taking a closer look, the body under the quilt is still trembling faintly, how pitiful it is.
He stood up and said to her back, "Hey..."
It didn't matter, she jumped up from the bed and asked him nervously, "What is your Highness' order?"
On the contrary, King Zhao was startled by her, opened his mouth and said, "Go to the outhouse to sleep, it's not good for us to sleep together alone at night."
Hearing this, Lu Li blushed, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "This servant will be on duty for His Highness."
Zhao Wang hurriedly waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it."
Lu Li then went outside holding the quilt.
Zhao Wangchang breathed a sigh of relief, spread his hands and feet on the bed, and fell asleep comfortably.
On the couch outside, Lu Li still couldn't sleep, but he didn't dare to turn over at will, so he had to lie stiff and straight, thinking of many things in his mind.
When I was a child, I left home too early, and I can't remember many things clearly. Even the impression of my parents is faded. I only remember that there are many sisters and sisters at home. Then one day, a woman entered the house and asked them to After pulling her all over, she was taken out of the house.
Later, she entered the Zhang family's big garden as a little maid. Later, she also forgot what happened, and she fell into the eyes of the noble.
At that time, she didn't seem to be called Ledge.
It had been so long, but she still remembered the scene of that day very clearly. The noble asked her a few words at random, then smiled and asked Mrs. Zhang who was standing aside, and said, "Zhang Sheng, do you think I put this little girl next to Peng Peng? Peng Peng is too impatient, It would be good to have a careful person by her side to protect her."
Grandpa Zhang stood respectfully, nodding his head and saying yes.
The nobleman looked up at the woman who had been silent not far away, and asked her casually, "Amai, what do you think?"
The woman named Amai didn't answer first, but walked in front of her, squatted down and looked at her, and asked her gently, "Would you like to be with your Miss Sun?"
This woman named Amai is different from all the wives and wives she saw in Zhang Garden. She is very good-looking, tall and straight, with straight shoulders and back, wearing an ordinary cotton shirt, and she can't smell the fragrance of fat powder on her body. , The face is obviously no longer young, but it still makes people unable to look away.
She seemed to be stunned for a while, but she forgot to answer.
The woman smiled lightly and asked her again.
She woke up with a start, looked at the bright and warm eyes of the woman, and hurriedly assured her, showing her loyalty. She said a lot of words at once, but the woman only reached out and touched the top of her head, and said softly, "Little girl, remember, the most precious thing in this world is the human heart. You can't buy it, you can only exchange it."
She seemed to understand, but nodded.
The woman smiled again and asked her, "Maybe there will be difficult things in the future, are you afraid?"
She shook her head and replied firmly, "I'm not afraid of slaves, slaves are not afraid of anything, not even death!"
The woman listened, but her expression was a little stunned. After a long time, she sighed in a low voice and said in a low voice, "Actually, death is not terrible. Many times, living is the thing that requires the most courage."
She didn't understand this sentence at all, and didn't even dare to nod her head at will.
Just thinking about it like this, it gradually became brighter outside the window.
Lu Li took a deep breath, sat up from the couch, turned his head and glanced inside. The sound of breathing from the bed was still steady and long, and King Zhao seemed to be still asleep.
Lvli's heart suddenly lit up, since Niangniang snatched her life from the emperor, she couldn't live up to her heart, she had to live well, no matter how difficult the future was.
Alive is better than a dead man!
A person like Zhao Wang can fool even a slut like Jiang's. Could it be that she can't play with him
Thinking of this, Lu Li couldn't help clenching his fists.
At the same moment, King Zhao on the bed also opened his eyes, and when he heard the sound of Xixi getting dressed from the outhouse, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Isn't she just a little girl, trapped in her own Zhao Wangfu again, no matter who she is, as long as she stays away from her and hides, she can still get out of the sky
Thinking of this, King Zhao also stretched out in a relaxed manner.
It's dawn, it's a new day!
