Chapter 975
To light the candles of dragon and phoenix for Xiao Tingchen and Nangong Nanai?
For them, keep vigil outside the bedroom?

Su Jiu clenched her hands tightly in her wide sleeves unconsciously, and the blood gushed out, staining the frosty white petticoat red.

The nanny in charge was still in a rush to do some work, so she didn't notice Su Jiu's strange behavior, so she turned around and left quickly.

Su Jiu slowly sat down on the couch.

The court ladies in the same room looked at each other curiously, and the most beautiful girl among them handed Su Jiu a piece of flower cake, "Here, it was rewarded by Mr. Zhang at the Flower Festival last time. Where are you from? You haven't eaten palace cake yet." How about some snacks?"

Su Jiu shook his head and declined.

The girl took a bite of the flower cake by herself, "Look at you, you are born with thin skin and tender flesh, and you don't even have calluses on your hands. You must have come from a wealthy family. Either the family has fallen in business, or the officials made mistakes and went to prison. Bitch. Hey, which one are you?"

Su Jiu remained silent.

On weekdays, she loves to talk to girls of the same age, but when she heard the arrangement at the Queen's Closure Ceremony today, she couldn't get up the slightest bit of energy, let alone chat with these girls.

She intuitively felt that Xiao Tingchen still cared about her, but she didn't know why he wanted to marry Nangong Nana.

Obviously, for him, after obtaining the military map of Xichan Kingdom, Nangong Nana lost its use value...

"Could it be a mute?"

The tall girl in the same room was very curious, she stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Su Jiu, "Hello?"

Su Jiu came back to his senses, and gestured to them apologetically, expressing that he was incapable of speaking.

"You're really dumb, it's a waste of this face." The pretty girl smiled slightly, "Such a face is considered outstanding among concubines, right? It's a pity that it didn't happen to me, otherwise—"

The tall womb woman next to her hastily elbowed her, "Hey, it's not like you don't know how jealous the empress is. If others hear this and report you in front of the empress, you won't know how you died. !"

"Flowers don't bloom for a hundred days, who knows how many days she can sit on the queen's throne?"

They argued quietly.

Su Jiu didn't take them to heart, he was full of thoughts about tomorrow's empress ceremony.

Xiao Tingchen, do you really want to marry Nangong Nana?

The next day.

Su Jiu's health was not good, and he made up for the sleep the night before, so he didn't wake up until noon.

The tall uterine woman came back with a lot of melon and fruit snacks in her skirt, and gave half of it to Su Jiu, "I heard that today's Empress Conferment Ceremony is very lively. It hasn’t stopped yet! We little court ladies are not qualified to go to the front court to watch the fun, but the emperor still rewards the Six Palaces. Everyone has a share of these happy candies! I got a share for you, don’t thank me !"

Su Jiu's hair was disheveled and his face was pale.

She looked at the candied melons and fruits on the table, she clearly loved and hated Xiao Tingchen, but she couldn't do anything.

She couldn't simply withdraw from Xiao Tingchen's side, and she couldn't take Ran Ran away from the cold palace.

There is no way to stop paying attention to that man...

He is so vicious and cruel, she should hate him, but...

The tall lady happily went outside to inquire about the liveliness of the Empress Dowager Ceremony, but it was very quiet in the wing room, only Su Jiu was left alone.

She lifted the quilt and walked slowly to the window.

When the flower window was propped up, the dignified Chinese music could be heard in the distance. It was so grand, so grand, much more lively than when she was named empress...

It was quiet around the wing room, and the maids probably ran out to play.

A few clusters of peonies bloom quietly, which should be the beauty of the country, but now it seems that it is very quiet and lonely.

A few peonies bloomed to full bloom, and withered quietly in the sunny day at noon in spring.

It turned out that it was blooming to the extreme, but it was withering...

But the love is deep to the extreme, why doesn't it wither? !

The young girl's thin and slender fingers tightly grasped the placket where her heart was. She frowned and slowly curled up, looking around in panic. What she saw were those sad things in spring.

Like the flowers on the branches, the redness fades and the fragrance fades away, like the swallows who built their nests under the eaves last year, they died in a foreign land and never returned to their nests, like the catkins, the old years passed away with the wind...

The girl was so weak that she suddenly burst into tears and coughed violently in the spring breeze.

Before he could take out the embroidered handkerchief, he coughed up blood all over his hand.

Jinling City and Bird Clothes Lane were already out of reach, and even that man was gradually drifting away.

If there is no chance, why don't you go to Jiangnan with him?

The girl's eyes went black for a while, and she finally fainted on the ground crying and laughing.

When he woke up again, he was shaken awake by a tall woman in the womb.

She looked flustered, "Bei Xing'er, why did you faint?! It's almost dusk, and you still don't go to the bedroom to light the lamp?! This empress has a big temper, and a maid accidentally touched her in the afternoon. Feng Pao, she directly ordered someone to drag that court lady out and stick her to death! Dragon and Phoenix celebrations are a big deal, if you dare to neglect, I think she will hate you so much that she will kill you!"

Su Jiu was silent.

The dark deer's eyes were deep and drooping, and she went to the palace after a little grooming.

Walking through the corridor and courtyard all the way, I bumped into someone at the corner without being careful.

She took two steps back and subconsciously saluted.

"How do you walk, you lowly maid?! Don't you know how to kowtow to plead guilty when bumping into someone?!"

The domineering female voice came from the front.

Su Jiu looked up, his pupils shrank slightly.

Not because of the girl who spoke, but the man beside the girl.

He stands with his hands behind his back, wearing an apricot-yellow brocade robe, and a four-finger-wide gold silk inlaid jade belt around his waist makes him tall and straight, his face like the dawn of spring is more gloomy and stern than before, and his long and narrow Danfeng eyes are bright. With a touch of impatience.

It turned out that the person she bumped into just now was Xie Rongjing...

"Hey, Miss Ben asked you to kowtow to plead guilty, can't you hear me?! Do you know who is in front of you?! Miss Ben is Hua Yuewu, the younger sister of the imperial concubine, and this son is the famous Marquis of Wu'an , General Xie Rongjing, you lowly maidservant is so bold, you have no attitude of apologizing for offending us?! Is this how the palace teaches maidservants?!"

After the girl yelled, seeing Su Jiu staring blankly at Xie Rongjing, she couldn't help becoming even more furious.

She stepped forward and suddenly raised her palm to slap Su Jiu!
Before touching her, Su Jiu quickly grasped her thin wrist!

Her eyes were as dark as an abyss, she stared at Hua Yuewu closely, as if as long as she dared to be arrogant, she would dare to kill her!

When Hua Yuewu met Shang Su Jiu's eyes, she felt a little timid.

Where did this palace maid come from, and how could she have such a powerful aura? !

Even Xie Rongjing's phoenix eyes were full of sparks, as if he was thinking about who the girl in front of him was.

Su Jiu stared at Xie Rongjing, opened his mouth to say something, and Xiao Tingchen's warning words quietly surfaced in his ears.

——Su Xiaojiu, if you dare to tell anyone your real identity, I will kill your parents and Ran Ran!
