The Queen of Destiny: The King's Side

Outside the window, a sprig of apricot blossoms slanted into the house. The petals are white and transparent, and the stamens are like rouge. When a gust of wind blows by, it falls on the table in front of the window like snowflakes.

Xi Xian picked up a piece and put it in the palm of her hand, and couldn't help but chant, "Even if it is blown into snow by the spring wind, it is far better than being ground into dust by Nanmo."

"Why is my sister feeling sentimental again in the house? It's okay to rain a few days ago. The weather is so good these days, why don't you go out for a walk." Xue Chun walked in from the outside and saw her sitting by the window talking to herself. language.

"The yard is not the same as the house, it's just that there are more flowers and plants." Xi Xian bent over the table and counted the petals, looking very listless.

Seeing her like this, Xuechun insisted on pulling her to the dressing table, "How many days has it been? We can't be so bored in the room anymore, we will get sick, let's go out and relax."

As Xuechun spoke, she started to move her hands, and helped her tie a refreshing bun in two or three strokes. Finally, she inserted a jade hairpin obliquely into her hair. Xixian took photos left and right in the mirror, and even she herself felt I feel refreshed a lot, and the depression of several days is also gone.

Walking out of the door that she hadn't stepped out for several days, Xi Xian looked up at the sky, which was still as blue and clear as that day, but the flowers in the courtyard added a lot of color and bloomed more delicately.

Lingering among the sweet flowers, Xi Xian seems to have forgotten that just a few days ago, she vowed never to step out of the door again, but today she casually put flowers in her temples, and from time to time, she swears to Xue There are also a few flowers on Chun's head.

Unknowingly, I came to the lotus pond again. Unlike that day when it was full of green lotus leaves, today there are sporadic lotus root pink buds appearing on the water surface, which is more precious and delicate against the whole green.

I don't know if I can see the beauty of the lotus blooming in this pond?Xi Xian was thinking in her heart, suddenly a carp jumped out of the water under her feet.

On a whim, she turned to Xuechun and said, "Go find some fish bait, I'll wait for you here."

"Fish bait? Where can I find it?" Xue Chun stood by the pool with a blank expression, not knowing why she suddenly wanted these things.

"I heard that Miss Xia often feeds fish, you go ask the people, they must have it." Seeing her very interested, Xuechun couldn't refute, and planned to go to the kitchen to have a look, after all, bait should be considered as something to eat.

After Xuechun left, Xixian squatted bored by the pool alone, pumping water on the lotus leaves not far away. Whenever the lotus leaves were about to fill up, the lotus leaves would shake off the water, and she simply splashed water Looking at the lotus leaf, watching the water drops fall into the pool like a string of pearls.

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly a cold voice sounded behind her, and Xi Xianmu was startled and turned around, only to see Xia Zizhao standing by the pool with his hands behind his back, squinting at her, his handsome phoenix eyes showed bursts of chill, as if he was going to People are frozen.

"I??? I'm just bored." Xi Xian swallowed secretly, a little scared by his aura.

"What a noble thing a lotus is, how can you be so profane!" Xia Zizhao said sharply, with a look of disdain on his face.

Although Xi Xian doesn't like to fight, it doesn't mean that he will recognize others and humiliate him. The little awe he still had just now was instantly crushed by his contempt.

"Where did Mr. Xia say that? I neither broke it nor trampled on it. I just poured a few handfuls of clear water on it. Where did the blasphemy come from?"

I didn't expect Xi Xian's backlash to be so fierce. After changing his meek and gentle attitude when we first met, Xia Zizhao sneered contemptuously, "Women in the palace are really not simple. They can change their faces every day with such proficiency and hypocrisy. It's better not to pollute my pool of green lotus."

When Xi Xian heard this, she didn't get angry. Since the first day she came to Xia Mansion, Xia Zizhao didn't give her a good face. She was disgusted by the other party without saying a word. The list of hypocrisy.

"The lotus is a gentleman among flowers. Its nobility lies in its humbleness, its innocence, its softness and firmness, and its restraint. A gentleman will not judge the good or bad of things based on his own preferences, such as your arrogance. Those who are arrogant and despise others are really not worthy of the lotus."

Xi Xian vented out the depression of the past few days happily, and the depression in her heart dissipated a lot, but she felt sorry for Xia Zizhao who was treated as cannon fodder.

He looked at the woman in front of him with great interest who was not afraid of him at all. Although he had lived in the mansion together for a few days, he had never looked at her directly because of his prejudice against women in the harem.

After careful consideration today, he realized that Xi Xian's nobility came from the bottom of his heart, unlike the harem women he had seen in the past who only focused on superficial arrogance.

"You say I'm not worthy?" Xia Zizhao smiled instead of anger, with a hint of cunning in his eyes, "Then I want to hear from you who is worthy of this gentleman."

"Of course, those who are pure in heart are worthy of it." After expelling her suffocation, Xi Xian lost her previous momentum.

"After all, today is only the second time you and I have met. How can you say that I am not a pure and innocent person?" Xia Zizhao let go of the coldness before, and there was obviously more playfulness in his eyes.

Seeing that he was deliberately arguing with her, Xi Xian also shook her spirits and said, "Just because of your indiscriminate words just now to hurt people, how do you know that the women in the harem are hypocritical? How many women in the harem have you seen?"

"Just one Wang Baoluo is enough, I can't stand any more."

Xi Xian finally knew where his prejudice against the women in the palace came from. Few people could resist Wang Baoluo's domineering.

"That's just a few people. Most people are easy to get along with." Xi Xian felt guilty when she said this. There are many women in the palace who are right and wrong. There are only a few people in Wanyun Palace who are easy to get along with. That's all.

Xia Zizhao looked at her with a half-smile and said, "Why do you suddenly lose your confidence? Life in the palace is really difficult, right?"

After a daze, Xi Xian regained her confidence, "Then don't bother Mr. Xia to worry, Mr. Xia should take care of the affairs of his own house."

Xia Zizhao raised his eyebrows, although he didn't quite understand the hidden meaning in her words, but he already appreciated her character of being neither humble nor overbearing.

At this time, Xuechun happened to find the bait, and saw that the two people who were talking were showing a sense of gunpowder, so he rushed up to block Xixian and said, "What are you going to do? Hugh is being unreasonable to my sister."

Xia Zizhao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "The people in the palace are really extraordinary, even a little girl is so powerful."

Seeing that Xuechun's reaction was indeed a bit extreme, Xi Xian gently pulled her to her side, "I made you laugh, we have been out for a while, now we have to go back, please forgive me."

"It's up to you, girl." Xia Zizhao said lightly, then turned to look into the depths of the lotus pond.

After walking for a while, Xuechun looked back, and said flatly, "Isn't it just better looking? It's not that great."

"Don't gossip about others behind their backs, be careful trying to stir up trouble." Xi Xian sternly stopped her.

"Yes!" Knowing that he was talking too much, Xuechun decided to stop talking.
