Chapter 182: Mandarin duck tile cold frost Huazhong (2)

Today, is he going to use this method to humiliate me?
I didn't dare to think about it. I could only silently follow Zhang Dehai, watching the palace lantern in his hand sway in the wind, casting a dim and swaying spot on the flat marble corridor.
"Ms. Zhang," I hesitated and finally spoke: "Ms. Zhang will also be asked to make it clear that the emperor is calling me, yes..."
The night breeze was blowing gently on the ribbon of sapphire lotus leaves hanging from my waist, like a flowing clear water in the dark night. Zhang Dehai lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long while.
I stopped and said slowly: "Ms. Zhang, when you came over, you said that the emperor was in a hurry. I wonder if the concubine who is sleeping tonight has a sudden condition?"
Zhang Dehai smashed his mouth and glanced at me quickly, looking very embarrassed with a hesitant expression.
I sighed faintly: "I also know that today is different, but the emperor won't be lucky enough to be there."
Zhang Dehai was taken aback, and finally lowered his voice and replied: "This?? I'm afraid the lady knows that she feels uncomfortable."
I smiled faintly: "I have to know it too. It's better to know Zhang Guannian in the past, so that I can be prepared."
Zhang Dehai's complexion was in the pale yellow halo, but he finally opened his mouth.
"Don't be concealed, Tian Zhu offered this year's tribute a few days ago. In addition to cloth, gold and silver, there are..." He dared not look at me.
"There are still beauties, don't you?" My smile was gentle, as if not caring. In fact, I am not qualified to care. Whether I am the queen or Xie Niang, I have no right to care.
"Yes." Zhang Dehai's voice was low and low: "Eighteen beauties have been offered this year, but the emperor only left four daughters of noble ancestors among them, and sealed him. The rest is given to him. The hero and the prince."
I nodded, but these are not the reasons for Shen Xiyao to call me urgently late at night.
Zhang Dehai continued: "The envoy of Tianzhu said that these four women are the most beautiful and noblest in the kingdom of Tianzhu. They are treasures bestowed by the heavens to Tianzhu. They were specially raised in Tianzhu Palace for many years as a dedication to Emperor Daxi."
I chucked softly, nothing to say.
"Tonight, the emperor has summoned the Spring and Autumn two to be here, and they are the most beautiful two of them." Zhang Dehai hesitated and seemed afraid to continue.
I stood still, standing still in the wind, waiting for him to finish speaking.
Zhang Dehai glanced at me and said cruelly: "The minions are guarding outside and I heard Chunchang saying that the four of them are the most beautiful treasures in Tianzhu. I hope the emperor can open their eyes to see the most beautiful treasures in Daxi."
I felt like I was poured with a basin of snow in the winter, and instantly understood what Shen Xiyao meant.
Does he... treat me as an object?
Zhang Dehai didn't know how to respond after speaking. He was always the best at observing words and acting and reacting to changes, but at this time, he could only quietly look at me with sympathetic eyes.
I closed my eyes and tried to calm my heart's fluctuations. Finally, I put on a sad smile and said to Zhang Dehai: "Manager Zhang, I am a criminal woman, you should call "our house"."
Zhang Dehai shook his head, his voice was particularly clear in the quiet night: "Although I call you lady now, but the minion knows that it won't be long before I will call your queen lady."
"Queen..." I bent the corner of my mouth unconsciously and looked up at the sky outside the corridor. There is no starlight tonight, and the bright moon is also covered by thick clouds, like a gloomy and unclear future with no hope.
"From the day the Queen Mother sent me out of the palace, I have not been anymore." There was no wave in my tone.
"Lady," Zhang Dehai called deeply, the voice full of the certainty that has gone through the vicissitudes of life.
"Lady, since the emperor's young old slave has been by his side, to say something arrogant, no one knows the emperor's temperament better than the old slave." He smiled and said: "After looking at it for so many years, the old slave thinks the emperor's feelings for the lady It is not the emperor’s love for his concubines, but more like a man’s purest love for a woman."
I shook my head: "Maybe he loved me, but that person is just the fairy he met in Youran Pavilion and brought to Pengdao Yaotai. Not the queen who is the only daughter of the Ling family, nor the one who abandoned him. , Leaving him, and entangled with his hands and feet Xie Niang. And I, I love that Xiyao who treats me like a treasure, but not the emperor who threw me into the dying, and ordered all the empress dowager to be buried .Plus Xihe is in it??" I paused, only feeling cold on my face, and I did not know when I shed tears: "We can't go back."
"Lady..." Zhang Dehai also appeared in grief. He opened his mouth, but only said one sentence: "Mangniang, you are wrong, he knew who the emperor loves very early, even earlier than you think. "
I looked at him quietly, recalling the words of the Queen Mother in my mind. I looked at him eagerly, expecting him to say more, but Zhang Dehai only shook his head slightly and raised the lantern in his hand to illuminate the long marble corridor ahead. His voice seemed to be floating in the wind, bringing helplessness and regret.
"Lady, please also please here."
I lowered my head silently, watching the dark blue lotus leaf embroidered piping on the edge of my skirt dangle gently on the floor tiles, and finally took a step.
In front, is the Xinghua Spring Pavilion.
Across the rosewood floor-to-ceiling screen with fish and lotus leaf pattern, I sat quietly on the thick and soft blue lotus jerky Persian long pile blanket. The blanket is thick, so you can sink into it when you step on it, and naturally fall silent. So in the half an hour since I came in to the present, Shen Xiyao on the bed of Wanzijindi Tuanshou red sandalwood behind the screen should not know that I have arrived.
It was Zhang Dehai who didn't report and only signaled me to walk in. I think that the slight opening of the door might not disturb the emperor who is enjoying the ecstasy of Panbang women.
After standing for a long time, with a slight weakness in my legs, I slowly leaned on the screen and knelt on the ground, feeling more comfortable. Then, listening to the presumptuous shouts and low moans coming from there, my heart was numb. The man in Zhang Dehai's mouth who loves me the most, summoned me here just to appreciate his fun with other women?
The red candle swaying around is a full moon candle. This is an indispensable item in the new house when the folks get married. I was thinking, in the past, ordinary red candles with Fu and De were used in the Xinghuachun Pavilion, but today, how can we use Huahaoyueyuan? Oh, yes, tonight is the wedding night of the spring and autumn. Naturally, it is time to have a pair of beautiful flowers.
The red candle swayed and gave out an ambiguous light. Through the light red veil, the halo turned into a soft circle, but it hurt my eyes. I don't have five senses like a puppet, so the heavy breathing and groaning can't reach my ears anymore.
It's just that something in the bottom of my heart is slowly gnawing at the softest part. I closed my eyes, not wanting to look at the entangled shadow on the wall.
The hand swept across the blanket, and suddenly, he touched a round thing, which was a citrus.
Which is the season of orange production, but this is clearly a plump orange, exuding attractive luster, and bursts of refreshing fragrance. At this time, my hands are no longer under the control of my brain, and I slowly peeled off the orange peel.
With a "sizzle", smooth orange flesh appeared in front of my eyes, the orange petals entwined with white silk were neat and full, and the air was full of slightly sour and sweet smell, which was appetizing. I suddenly felt empty in my stomach, and the thin porridge for dinner did not support at this time.
He swallowed a petal like a ghost, and bit, the sweet juice overflowed his mouth, and swallowed it, hoping that this sweetness would ease the bitterness in my heart.
However, this action is disrespectful.
"Who?" A sharp shout rang in my ears. Although I heard it, I still chose another entrance unscrupulously.
"Who are you? How can you hide here!" Another shrill voice came, and I was surprised to find that the two Chunqiu often spoke the Daxi language fluently. Emperor Xi.
"Where is the girl, so ignorant of the rules." The voice was arrogant and angry, and it was close at hand. I saw a pair of white feet appear in front of me, and looking along these feet, a woman with a high nose and deep eyes was standing in front of me wearing a thin apricot blossom robe with wings full of anger.
I stood up and looked at the bed over there. Shen Xiyao put on an autumn fragrant yarn-dyed gold moiré bed robe, with a mocking and provocative smile, and turned his head slightly to look at me. Next to him there was a woman with a graceful figure, staring at me.
I marveled at the amazing beauty and proud figure of the two people in Spring and Autumn, but I regretted them. After all, it is a Gentile woman, who doesn't understand etiquette and rules, has a good skin, but does not have a good brain.
I must be summoned by the Emperor to be here. At this moment, the emperor hadn't spoken before they sternly reprimanded me. If you follow the Daxi law, this is a crime of disrespect. It was just a tribute anyway, and Shen Xiyao didn't need to consider diplomatic relations, for fear that he would soon fall out of favor.
I steadily bowed to Shen Xiyao with a big gift: "The emperor, the ladies are here to be called by you. I don't want to annoy the two of you, please let me know."
At this time, the eyes of the two Chunqiu who were always there changed from anger to surprise. They looked at me, then at Shen Xiyao, and then looked at each other, showing doubts and disdain.
Shen Xiyao laughed, wickedly, and trembling all over my body.
"Don't you want to see my Daxi's most beautiful treasure?" He didn't look at the two always present, but locked his eyes firmly on me: "Remove your veil."
The backbone and self-esteem made me turn my head to one side only.
"Remove the veil and let them see what is called Tianzi national color." Shen Xiyao smiled, and his tone was gentle like a spring breeze, but it was in my ears, but it was as cold as winter.
I knelt on the ground: "The posture of a civilian woman willow, it’s hard to say that she’s a country girl.
