The moon is bright and the night is still young

Chapter 40

After reaching an agreement with Rong Yu, I began to obey all the arrangements he made for me to adapt to life in the palace in the future.Because I was born in a Taoist temple, and I didn't have half of the manners that a noble woman of the Ji Kingdom should have, Rong Yu paid a lot of money to arrange the most outstanding manner master to teach me in Dengfu.

The master of manners is surnamed Chen. Although he is middle-aged, his gestures are full of elegance, and his temperament is very different from that of ordinary middle-aged women.The first time I saw Master Chen, I was attracted by her temperament. Master Chen's words and demeanor are also very gentle. She told me that as long as I practice hard, with my natural skin, I will eventually become a peerless beauty.

For the goal in my heart and for the deal with Rong Yu, I gave up my usual playfulness and laziness, and followed Master Chen to learn the etiquette of Ji Guo's famous ladies.But a lot of etiquette can't be learned overnight. I don't know how many cups I corrected my posture.

Except for the necessary affairs, Rong Yu will accompany me with a book in his spare time, and he will monitor the progress of the book.When I have spare time, I always have an inexplicable desire to express myself, wanting him to see my best side and praise my talent.However, reality hit me hard in the face, and I would still fall down many times in embarrassment, feeling ashamed and annoyed every time, but Rong Yu didn't interfere with Master Chen's teaching, nor did he laugh at my embarrassment, just smiled lightly Said: "Go on." It seems that the beauty falling is just a very common and ordinary thing.

Except for dealing with complicated affairs and going to bed at night, I almost always stay with Rong Yu.Whenever Ji Guo has any grand festivals, he will spare time, ask me to go out together, and show me the festive and lively scenes of Ji Guo festivals.I like the Yuesheng Festival the most, because there will be a festival specialty sweet rice cake sold on the streets of the Yuesheng Festival, as well as a variety of exquisite river lanterns, which can be released under the bright fireworks to make wishes.Rong Yu would buy me a river lantern and take me to the river to put the lantern on.

After the lights were off that day, the two of us walked side by side to the carriage as usual. A group of children were playing and playing on the side of the road. Rong Yu pulled me towards him to prevent me from bumping into the children.I pressed the tip of my nose against his chest, smelling the faint fragrance of his body, and my heart pounded, "Huh? What's wrong with you? But where did you get hit?" Seeing me lowering my head, Rong Yu thought I was hit Why, in order to hide my panic at this time, I asked him what kind of incense he used, so fresh and elegant.Rong Yu was taken aback, and said with a smile, "Curious about my incense? Then I'll show you when I get back." I nodded hastily, and followed him into the carriage.

The carriage was bumping, and Rong Yu was rubbing his blood jade finger. From time to time, I took a sneak peek at him, looking at his sharp-edged cheeks, the hair on his forehead set off his fair complexion, his nasal bone was high and thin, and his lips were slightly pursed. It was getting hotter and hotter, and I was extremely uncomfortable with my heart beating. I don't understand why I have such a violent reaction just by looking at him now, but I can't help but want to look at him. This once made me very distressed.

Back at the mansion, he didn't let me go to rest, but took me to his dormitory, and I also saw the root of his fragrance. No other plants were planted in his courtyard, only a variety of flowers and plants. The camellias in bloom are so beautiful. "Do you like camellia?" "I didn't feel it before, but now I like it very much." Rong Yu gently stroked the delicate petals of the camellia, with a lonely and sad expression for a moment.I remembered what he said, Gao Ze killed his beloved, he once had a beloved, and this camellia is probably also the favorite of the beautiful woman who died in a fragrant way.For some reason, my heart throbbed when I thought of this, and I suddenly felt a little sad, but for some reason.

"She used to love camellias the most. Now she is no longer by my side. I have planted camellias all over the yard. It is good to think about others." I looked at Rong Yu's side face, not knowing how to react.Seeing that I was silent, Rong Yu thought that his sadness had affected me, so he explained with a smile: "No matter how it is, lovers will eventually get married, and there is really no need to be sad on this good festival. Play today Are you still happy?" "Well, very happy." "That's good, seeing how hard you practice on weekdays, you should relax occasionally, and practice hard tomorrow." I curled my lips, "I have been with my senior brother since I was a child on the mountain. Climb a tree and go down the river, now it’s so sudden that I’m not used to learning the appearance of those ladies.” Rong Yu laughed, he picked a red camellia and gently inserted it in my hair bun, with an expression Gentle as water, "Now you are a beautiful woman with the appearance of ruining the city and the country. If you still rudely climbed trees and fell into the river like a child, wouldn't you become a waste of money?"

By the moonlight, I looked at Rong Yu in front of me, he looked at me with deep and gentle eyes, I sincerely hope that his expression is really just looking at me.But I vaguely felt that he didn't seem to be admiring my face with camellias on my head, and at this moment I couldn't help but miss another girl who used to wear camellias like this.
