Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 236 Putting Starlight on Your Body

The Milky Way is silent, the water waves are faint, and the moonlight falls on the glazed tiles of the palace, leaving a bright and clear glow.

The night sky in midsummer is not deep black, but a radiant sapphire blue. When the bright starlight spreads all over Jiutian, she can't help but imagine that if such starlight can be made into dresses, so that everyone in the palace How beautiful it should be when the beauties wear it on their bodies.

It's a pity that the aunt in charge of the Yuxiufang told her that to have such an exquisite dress, tens of thousands of pearls and gemstones must be crushed into fine powder, and then woven into the fabric with extremely complicated techniques. How precious are these pearls and gemstones, just the labor alone has to keep the entire Silk Weaving Bureau of Yuxiufang busy for more than half a year.

As time went by, there were beauties in the palace one after another, Nanny Sun had never seen anyone wearing such an exquisite and gorgeous dress.

But now the princess wears it.

She was wearing such a dress that represented extreme favor, but the words she said were so calm and plain.

Discussing that the prince will take concubines in the future is like discussing whether today's food is good or not, or whether the flowers in the bottle are good-looking or not. There is no loss or sadness that should appear on the face.

The corner of Nanny Sun's mouth curled up in an appreciative arc: "Of course it's great that the Crown Princess thinks so."

As soon as the subject changed, she warned softly: "But it's okay if you blindly look down on honor and favor. You have to understand that as a royal concubine, the number of honor and favor is related to the bitterness and sweetness of your life. The rise and fall of the entire family is implicated. If you blindly pursue honor and favor, you will lose yourself and live a very tiring life. But if you give up honor and favor, you will be bullied and life is worse than death. You are a smart person, and you must be able to take good care of it degree."

Zhao Xiwei looked at Nanny Sun gratefully, and gave a soft "yes": "Thank you, Nanny Sun for your teaching."

Li Xuanye is the prince, how many women he will have is not something she can control or change.

But it doesn't mean that she can only be a little sheep at the mercy of others.

Even if she doesn't pursue the so-called "one-for-one" couple, she also deeply understands that if she wants to live a better life, she must cling to Li Xuanye's backer.

Now that he has completely offended the Empress Dowager, even the hatred of Concubine Xian will be remembered on him.In such a difficult situation, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are wolves before and tigers behind. If she still keeps acting aloof and arrogant, she will not know how she will die in the end.

With such thoughts in mind, her attitude towards Li Xuanye became more calm.

Li Xuanye didn't like to be served when he was eating, so all the maids and servants were dismissed.

Zhao Xiwei personally fetched hot water and held a golden basin, rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands, and gently wiped off the water drops with a towel, then looked at him with a smile: "Okay."

The corner of Li Xuanye's mouth curled up in an extremely shallow arc.

Zhao Xiwei knew that this was proof that he was in a good mood.

No one would hate being cared for carefully, even a man as stern and majestic as Li Xuanye was no exception.

When eating, Li Xuanye watched her skillfully and quickly serve the rice, spread the chopsticks, and serve the soup, and his eyes became deeper.

"Your Highness, these are the shrimp balls that I specially ordered the kitchen to make today. Do you have a taste?" Zhao Xiwei brought a celadon bowl and put it on the table. The soup was just delivered by the kitchen, and it was still steaming hot. steam.

The Shen family was born in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was heard that Shen Mu spoke Jiangnan dialect during his lifetime, even when he taught his students, he seemed to lack majesty and more than love.

And Zhao Xiwei lived with his biological mother, Shen Shi, since he was a child, but he didn't have the slightest accent when he spoke. He pronounced his words clearly and his tone was soft.

Li Xuanye didn't look at the food in front of him, but only looked up at Zhao Xiwei.

Zhao Xiwei just put down the bowl, seeing that his fair fingers were a little red from the heat, he subconsciously raised his hand to his mouth and blew.

"Is it hot?" He frowned.

"Ah, it's okay, it's not hot." Zhao Xiwei was about to stop, but he had already held his fingertips.

Zhao Xiwei's hands are very beautiful.

It's not the kind of beauty that is pampered and pampered, but the beauty with good congenital conditions.

The phalanges are well-proportioned, the knuckles are slender, and the tip of the fingertips has a pink luster, like the most delicate color of the tip of the lotus petal.

The bones are so slender, it looks like the whole hand is thin and weak, but the palm is soft and fleshy, holding it in the hand is like holding a cloud.

Li Xuanye couldn't help pinching a few times, and his voice became a little gentle: "Next time, let the maid do this kind of thing."

But her eyes suddenly focused and landed on the inside of her index finger: "What is this?"

Zhao Xiwei's palm was itchy by him, but he couldn't get it out, so he had to let him pinch it like this.

She has lived in the countryside since she was a child, chopping firewood for hunting, cooking with fire, these are all common things.

But this kind of thing is unimaginable to His Royal Highness.

She felt that there was no need to go into too much detail with him, so she just passed it off with a smile: "I accidentally hurt it when I was a child."

Li Xuanye's eyes flickered slightly.

Zhao Xiwei thought he was dissatisfied with this answer, so he added: "At that time, the family was poor and had no medicine, so they could only barely bandage it with gauze. After the wound healed, it left a scar. It's ugly, isn't it?"

Seeing that his brows were getting deeper and deeper, she shrunk her fingers lightly, and smiled, trying to lightly expose the matter: "There is nothing you can do about ugliness, the scar has already left, and it can't be erased."

"How did you get hurt?" Li Xuanye was still stuck on the last question.

Zhao Xi said vaguely: "I hurt it while cooking."

"Cook?"

For his inexplicable attachment, Zhao Xiwei felt a bit of a headache, hesitantly said: "When I was young, I was not very skilled. One winter, my mother was ill. In order to cook something for my mother, I accidentally hurt my finger."

Li Xuanye didn't speak for a long time, and only gently stroked the scar with his fingers, as if to soothe her previous wound.

She was originally a delicate and precious girl, but because of the teasing of fate, she had to go through so many hardships at birth. What is commendable is that, growing up in such an unfair environment, she not only did not have the half-hearted arrogance of abandoning herself, on the contrary, she was better than those who were pampered. The eldest lady should be gentle and generous.

"It hurt at the time." He heard his voice a little low.

"Fortunately, it doesn't hurt very much." Zhao Xiwei was afraid that he would continue to question him. She didn't want to show the prince the past suffering life. Seeing him raising his eyebrows and looking at her with disbelief, she explained. : "Really, I'm not afraid of pain."

The corner of Li Xuanye's mouth curled up slightly, and he flicked her forehead with his finger: "Still lying."

"I'm not lying, I'm telling the truth." Zhao Xi touched his forehead and muttered, but when he raised his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a meaningful smile in his eyes, and suddenly realized that two flowers flew up on his face. Hongxia.

"Okay, let's eat." Li Xuanye saw her embarrassment, and brought up the topic with a smile.
