Dai Ziling

Chapter 18

Originally thought that her mother would be as excited and happy as the queen when she saw her, but unexpectedly, apart from surprise and a trace of fear, Teng Xuanyun found no other emotions on Concubine Jin's face.

"Mother..."

In any case, Teng Xuanyun was very excited to see his biological mother.

Concubine Jin took a deep breath and regained her composure.

"When did you come back?"

"Early in the morning, after greeting the father and the queen, the child hurried over."

In the past twenty years, mother and son have met only a handful of times. In Teng Xuanyun's memory, when she was a child, her mother still had a smile.But as I grew up, I felt that my mother became more and more indifferent...

"Your fourth brother is back too?"

Concubine Jin lowered her head, straightened her skirt that dragged the floor, and asked softly.

"Well, Concubine Mu, I heard that your health..."

"It's okay, why did you come back suddenly?"

Teng Xuanyun was very disappointed, seeing her for a long time, but her mother ignored her.He stood there not knowing what to explain, nor how to break the awkward atmosphere.

Seeing that her son was silent, Concubine Jin suddenly changed her attitude, stroking his arm gently with a smile on her face:

"Good boy, mother and concubine are safe here. You have been working hard with the Fourth Highness all year round, so you must be more careful in everything. This time you returned to Beijing suddenly, but what happened?"

Seeing Concubine Jin's smile, Teng Xuanyun suddenly became enlightened, and quickly replied:
"Nothing happened, you don't have to worry, but your body... the child is not filial, and I couldn't take care of it, please forgive me."

As if she couldn't hear the answer she wanted, Concubine Jin's face darkened.

"I'm fine here, you go and do your own business."

"Mother..."

"I'm a little tired, you go!"

Teng Xuanyun bit her lip, hesitated to speak, bowed to Concubine Jin, and walked out slowly.

Looking at the desolate and desolate back, Concubine Jin suddenly felt a pain in her heart, her eyes were extremely sharp instantly, she covered her heart, and said to herself fiercely: "Shut up!"

Why, it is also a mother, why the queen is so loving, but the concubine mother... Teng Xuanyun's heart is so sore that he can't figure it out.

The noon sun poured in through the hollowed-out relief windows, Zixi slowly opened her eyes, her tiredness was swept away, the bed in this palace is a hundred times more comfortable than that in the herb house!

Pushing open the door, the sky is clear and the viburnum is fragrant.

"Girl, did you sleep well?"

Xinruo was cleaning in the courtyard, when she saw Zixi opened the door, she walked towards the main room with a smile on her face.

"Your name is Xin Ruo?"

"Yes."

"Stop yelling at each girl, my name is Bai Wei, just call me by my first name."

"Yes, Miss Baiwei."

Zixi shook her head helplessly, the people under Teng Xuanyi really followed the master's temper.

"Can you bring me some hot water, and a set of clean clothes, I want to take a shower."

"Okay, I'll do it right away!"

"Thank you."

Zixi tilted her head, clasped her hands together, and said to Xinruo with a smile on her face.

This girl is really different, she is beautiful, innocent and innocent, no wonder His Highness looks at her differently.Even she likes it from the bottom of her heart, Xinruo smiled, turned around and walked towards the water room.

Taking off her white dress, Zixi gently placed the colorful feather on the table.Soak in hot water sprinkled with petals, fragrant and refreshing.

Xinruo put a neatly stacked lavender brocade dress beside her, and on top of the dress was an exquisite white jade hairpin.There are also several exquisite painted boxes and a bronze mirror.

"I just said a clean suit, what are these things."

Zixi stretched her neck and poked it over, asking curiously.

"There has never been a woman living in this Biyou Pavilion. Last night, His Highness specifically asked the embroiderers in the mansion to make this dress and jade hairpin overnight. These rouge and gouaches are what I usually use. Today, the girl will make up for it for the time being."

Zixi was a little surprised, she didn't expect him to be so careful...

The lavender cloud brocade dress, wearing a silver gauze as thin as the wings of a cicada, her jet-black hair is more soft, shiny and moist, her eyebrows are dark without drawing, her lips are red without painting, her skin is like creamy fat, and her eyes are like clear springs.

Xin Ruo's eyes lit up, where did His Highness find such a beautiful woman? It seems that the ten thousand years of ice will melt quietly...

"How do you wear this thing?"

After putting the colorful feather back into her bosom, Zixi picked up the white jade hairpin and compared it to her hair.

Xinruo shook her head with a smile, gently pulled Zixi to the front of the bronze mirror, picked up the wooden comb, separated a few locks of black hair, skillfully rolled up the bun, and finally put the white jade hairpin into the bun: "That's all right. .”

Looking at herself in the mirror, Zixi was very satisfied: "What a coincidence, such beautiful hands!"

"The girl has a beautiful face, even without makeup, she is so beautiful."

"My name is Bai Wei, not a girl..."

"Vill!"

Luo Yiyao's voice came from the courtyard, interrupting Zixi's words.

She opened the door, only to see that Luo Yiyao slipped on the sole of his foot in an instant, staggered for a while, then fixed there stupidly, staring at herself intently.

"Why, you look stupid! Isn't it beautiful?" Zixi raised her sleeves and slowly turned around in a circle.

"Stupid... no, beauty..."

Luo Yiyao came back to his senses, and lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Let's go, this palace is very boring, let's go out for a walk." Zixi stretched her waist and said expectantly.

Xin Ruo frowned, slightly hesitant.

"Miss Bai Wei, wait a moment, I'll call some nurses."

"I don't know any nursing homes. It's uncomfortable to have so many people following. Just follow along."

Zixi turned around and shouted while walking towards the courtyard gate.

"But..." Xin Ruo showed embarrassment.

"But what, listen to me, no matter how much ink marks you have, you won't even bring them with you."

There was really nothing to do with her, Xin Ruo sighed, and quickly chased after her.

The market in Yujing was extremely noisy and bustling. The teahouses and taverns on both sides of the street were full of people, and among the bustling crowd, the cries of hawkers could be heard from time to time.

There are all kinds of stalls on the side of the road: fresh fruits and vegetables, pastries and candied fruit, potted flowers, beads and hairpin ornaments.

Zixi was overjoyed, she looked left and right, her eyes were dazzled, she felt very novel about everything.

Xin Ruo followed closely beside her every step, Luo Yiyao squeezed back and forth in the crowd, stretching his neck to search for the lavender beauty.

"what is this?"

Zixi walked to a pastry stand and stopped.

"Girl, this is sweet-scented osmanthus cake, come and have a taste."

The stall owner handed a small piece of pastry to Zixi, and said with a smile.

Light and soft, lips and teeth are fragrant

"It's delicious!"

She turned around and looked at Xinruo, and praised in surprise.

"As long as you like it." Xinruo said and put a piece of broken silver on the booth: "Brother, please wrap this up."

Such scenes are constantly being staged in this huge market...

"Young Master Luo, please follow closely, I'm afraid I won't be able to carry it anymore."

Xin Ruo grabbed Zixi by the arm, waited for a while, and finally saw Luo Yiyao hurrying over.

"Can you walk slowly, people come and go, don't get separated."

Luo Yiyao panted, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said helplessly.

Zixi cast a disgusted glance at him, pushed Xin Ruo's arm away, and ran over to a booth covered with colored threads.With her hands full, Xin Ruo lifted up the pile of "trophies" in large and small bags, sighed, and hurriedly followed.

The stall owner was also a girl. She sat there quietly, holding a few colorful silk threads in her hands. I saw her fingers twirling around, and in a short while, she wove a colorful bracelet.

Zixi was fascinated, and exclaimed: "You are too powerful!"

The girl raised her head and was slightly taken aback.

"You like it? Then this one will be given to you?"

Zixi was very happy, and suddenly thought of another thing after receiving the bracelet.

"Can you hang something else on this bracelet?"

"Yes, I wonder if the girl wants to hang a jade bead or a pendant?"

"it is this."

Zixi took out the colorful feather from her arms and handed it over.

The girl looked at the fluffy colorful feather, thought for a moment and said:
"This feather is light and moist. If you wear it on your hand, it may get wet or break easily. I'll weave a longer lanyard for the girl. How about wearing it around your neck?"

"Great, thank you."

Xinruo looked at Zixi with a puzzled face, she was really ingenious.

At this time, Luo Yiyao also rushed over, the moment he saw the feather, he was shocked in his heart, and froze in place.

"It's done, try it."

The stall owner stood up, and handed a lanyard woven with golden thread to Zixi. The roots of the feathers were tightly connected with the colored thread. Under the sunlight, it was dazzling and exquisite...

"Perfect!"

Zixi was very satisfied. She took the brocade rope and hung it around her neck. Looking down, she felt that it was too conspicuous, so she put Caiyu into the collar again, and smiled:
"All right!"

　How nice it would be if he could live heartlessly all the time.
