The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 184 Going to the study with the king

Xuanyuan Chen said that he would leave in the middle of the night, but I didn't dare to say that I would send him off, I was afraid that watching him gallop away, I would follow him desperately.He didn't ask me to send it off, maybe he was also afraid of parting.

Ben didn't feel sleepy at all, but he insisted on waiting for me to sleep before leaving.He carried me to the bedroom by the waist and put me on the couch. After closing my eyes for a long time, I opened them, and he was still there.

"Why didn't you leave?"

He smiled and replied, "There is a difference between pretending to be asleep and really sleeping."

I closed my eyes again, and when I opened them again, it was already dawn.

There was some food on the table, and there was a note under the teacup with four big characters flying and flying on it, piercing through the back of the paper.

"remember to miss me."

Don't forget, you just left, I already miss you.

Folding the note and pressing it into the book, I unpacked a pack of pastries. The sweet and soft taste was not as sweet as before...

Yesterday, I had an appointment with King Zeen, and the palace sent a carriage over just before the hour passed.I dressed up, put on a quiet moonlight padded robe, and a cape with a brocade tail fur collar, and then got into the carriage of the palace.

The princess mansion and the new house of Prince Zeen's mansion are fairly close, and it's time for two cups of tea.

Someone had already gone in to report, and when I got out of the carriage, I saw King Zeen coming out, and said happily, "Oh, Princess Nanning'an, you are here, a large group of us are waiting for you to drive play."

I wanted to salute, but he said, "Hey, what are you doing with so many salutes in your family? Come, come, come with me to the backyard."

As he said that, he held me across the brocade tent, and led me to the backyard half-urging and half-protecting, with such a warm and joyful look, it was like seeing a relative I hadn't seen for many years.

That being the case, it would be too extravagant to evade any more, so I was protected by him, turned around a hall and several corridors, and then arrived at the backyard.

The stage in the backyard has been set up early, and the surrounding rooms in the courtyard seem to have been remodeled. The doors and windows have been removed on all sides, and the stools and chairs have been arranged to look like a Liyuan theater. Because there are many female relatives, curtains are placed at the door. Silkworm brocade, that silkworm brocade is extremely precious, not only light and translucent, but also very windproof.

I looked around and saw that although the furnishings in this mansion are low-key, they are all extremely precious things. Just a random glass bottle, the color and carving work is already extremely sophisticated, let alone some exquisite things.

The name of the God of Wealth with a smiling face is really not just someone's name.

There were quite a few people sitting in the room, the first ones were King Zeen's main concubine and two side concubines.

His concubine's appearance is extremely dignified and beautiful, with a pair of narrow almond eyes and a slight smile, she is just like everyone else.

In terms of quality, I am slightly lower than the main concubine, but King Zeen kept saying that I was too polite, so I nodded to her as a salute, and she smiled back.

"Hey, Ning An, come and sit here, this is a very good location, you can see the whole stage." King Zeen greeted.

"Thank you, my lord." I responded and walked over to take my seat.A maid had already brought tea and snacks, and King Zeen saw that it was almost done. With a big wave of his hand, the gongs and drums sounded, and the play began.

As King Zeen said, this play of bangzi blowing and beating is really lively.

This is a unique facial makeup show from Liren's side, with high-spirited singing and fancy costumes.However, I have no interest in these, and I still find them eye-catching at first. Later, I got a little annoyed when I heard the jingling of gongs and drums and the babbling on stage.

But at this moment, King Zeen was quite interested in watching, so I lowered my head and took a light drink of tea. When I put the teacup down, the corner of my eye rolled away, and I saw an acquaintance again.

In the back row next to the pillar was a girl with delicate features and eyes. She wore a jacket embroidered with plain begonias, her hair was tied into a pendant, and she inserted two plain jade hairpins. .

With light makeup and light makeup, she sat in the crowd, not out of the ordinary, not inconspicuous, ordinary, like a still life decoration.

It's Chen Xiangnian...

That's right, why did I forget, Chen Xiangnian's father is Shiro Ribu, who is the confidant of King Zeen.

As if sensing someone looking over, she raised her head slightly and met my eyes.

At this moment, her eyes were complicated, tense, flustered, and... taboo...

I read that right, it's taboo.

She didn't seem to want to meet my gaze, she hurriedly staggered her eyes, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then put down the cup, raised her head upright, and looked at the stage in the center of the yard without turning her eyes.

The two of us grew up together, and I know what she likes. Although she likes to be lively and babbling, she doesn't like it as much as I do.

now……

I sighed.

Until then, I finally figured out the subtle changes between us and why...

Regardless of whether they grew up together or not, when it comes to reserve positions, even brothers, all of them have changed their tastes.

Helian Yunzhang and I went to the capital all the way, due to our status, if you think about it...

I thought that the affair of the court had nothing to do with the relationship between the two of us, but looking at it now, I was wrong.

Some things seem to have not changed, but when you turn around, they are different.

I don't know if this is called judging the situation or whether things are right or wrong.

I miss the lively Chen Xiangnian who used to compete with me for clothes, Chen Xiangnian who was dressed in a beautiful dance suit and danced by the campfire with a bell in his hand.

Even if it was on the city tower, that Chen Xiangnian who summoned up all his courage and shouted to Ji Yunchang, "I want to come back from the victorious battle" is also good.

But that Chen Xiangnian seems to be gone.

Not born in the family of princes and generals, there is too much helplessness, I will be her, it is my father's fate, I can't help myself.

That's all for now, let's all be well.

I sighed in my heart, held up the cup and took a sip of the bitter tea, and in the blink of an eye, without looking at her...

As soon as I turned my head away, I felt a knife-like gaze from the right.

This feeling is very uncomfortable, and I can feel the hostility of the other party even with my back turned. After enduring it for a while, I finally couldn't help it. When I turned around, I was bumping into a pair of cold and vicious eyes.

The owner of those eyes probably didn't expect me to turn around, the hostility in the eyes didn't come and put it away, and I bumped into it.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but I actually feel that these eyes are very familiar, as if I've seen them somewhere before.

I became suspicious in my heart, and after looking carefully, I realized that this woman was the one who played acrobatics at Concubine Di's birthday banquet yesterday, which made Concubine Di laugh.

I made a special note yesterday that this girl is called Xie Fanghua, and she is the adopted daughter of Sikong from the Ministry of Industry.

After thinking about it carefully, the two of us have never met before. Why does she look at me like this?

And her eyes seem to hide endless hatred, as if she wants to tear me apart, why is this?Because of King Zeen?
The girl was looked at by me, but she couldn't hide the resentment in her eyes. Instead, she raised the corners of her mouth and smiled at me.

She has beautiful eyebrows, and she smiles very beautifully, but I have another illusion, I feel that her smile is also somewhat familiar...

After going back, you need to check carefully, this woman is definitely not right!

I turned around and saw that the maid had brought a new cup of tea, and the opera in the courtyard had reached its peak. Several actors were fighting each other with sticks in their hands. King Zeen said hello.

It was lively right now, so I also hit the table to show my appreciation.

"Good! Reward!"

After half of the song was sung, King Zeen said hello, and the steward took orders, so he took a large ingot of money to reward.

Taking advantage of this time, He Lianyun turned his head and said to me, "Ning An, this show is so lively, why don't I see you look happy? But you don't like it? If you don't like it, I will ask them to change to another one to sing." Right? What kind do you like, let’s hear it.”

I replied, "Thank you, my lord, for your concern. Ning An is not originally happy, but just doesn't like to talk."

He Lianyun said, "I don't like to talk, it's because the show is boring, change it, butler, tell them that the princess doesn't like this play, let them stop singing this in the second half, and sing something else."

"Yes, my lord." The butler went out in response, and came back to report after a while, "Back to your lord, the opera manager said that this play was rehearsed in advance with make-up and rehearsal, and it was really unprepared to change it temporarily. Ask if you can sing It's over, it will be changed tomorrow."

King Zeen was a little unhappy, so I said, "My lord, don't embarrass them. Even if they change, Qingmu can't understand it. It doesn't make any difference whether to change or not."

"That's it..." King Zeen nodded, "Then don't change it, let them continue singing."

"Yes." The butler agreed, and hurried out to order.

King Ze En said slightly apologetically, "I thought, Ning An, you would like this kind of excitement. Since you don't like it, let's stop watching it. There are some novelties in my study. The arowana newly gifted with a red-tailed festoon looks quite fresh, why don't you take a look in this king's study."
