Chapter 54 Blessing (4)

Mother Rong took Dong Yuan to a small courtyard in the southwest corner of the temple.

The trails on both sides of the courtyard are full of green Xiangzhu, and the green leaves are like tobacco shreds curling obliquely in the breeze; in the courtyard, there are century-old peaches, with three or two twigs climbing out of the wall, and the bright red tender stamens are like brocade.

Before the courtyard door opened, Dong Yuan looked back at Rong's mother in astonishment.

The setting sun was getting late, and in the dim afterglow, Xue Dongyuan's slanted and seductive eyes seemed to be stained with blood, and there seemed to be an evil spirit in his charming and seductive eyes, which surprised Rong's mother.

Rong's mother was about to speak when the courtyard door opened. She was a young man in his early twenties.

When he saw Mother Rong and Dong Yuan, he didn't ask any more questions, and said familiarly: "Come in quickly, the master is waiting inside."

Mother Rong dragged Dong Yuan into the small courtyard here.

The yard is small, but it is clean and tidy. A peach tree in the corner is in full bloom, falling red all over the ground, like brocade and clouds, gorgeous and scorching, and there is a faint fragrance in the air.

There are foreigners.

Mrs. Shizi asked someone to bring her, a girl who has not left the court, to meet the foreign man in such a small courtyard. Dong Yuan already knew who this man was.

There is only one main building with three rooms in the small courtyard, without side rooms and pagodas, which seems to be specially built for noble pilgrims.

The man who opened the door for them cupped his hands to Rong's mother and said, "Please this mother stay here, Miss please!"

The momentum is aggressive and cannot be questioned.

Dong Yuanfu looked at Rong's mother again, and saw Rong's mother bowed her head, not daring to raise her head, she looked very scared, and she knew better.

Following the young man's footsteps, Dong Yuan stepped onto Dan Chi in front of the wing room, her heart was sinking all the time, sinking endlessly, her steps could not help but wobble, she was almost slipped by Dan Chi.

She took a deep breath before she could restrain her emotions.

The young man glanced at her from the corner of his eye, saw that she was afraid, pushed open the carved wooden door for her, and said in a low voice: "Miss, please, my lord has been waiting for a long time."

Dong Yuan's hands hidden under his sleeves were trembling, and his footsteps were also unsteady.But when the door was pushed open and it was dark inside, she knew she had no way out.No matter how embarrassing, how much hatred, this must be closed.

Compared with the last time, she has the opportunity to personally participate in this test, instead of leaving her fate in the hands of others.She is afraid, but she must support her luck and courage to reverse her situation.

She shrunk into the room.

The young man saw that although she was afraid, she didn't say a word, didn't ask, didn't run away, didn't shout, didn't grumble, as if he knew it well, he secretly admired her.Without hesitation, the young man closed the door.

There is no light in the room, the sun is setting, the shadows in the house are dim, and you can't see clearly. A screen blocks it, and there is a figure sitting upright on the big pit facing the window.

Dong Yuan stopped in front of the screen, knelt down, and bowed respectfully in a low voice: "Rou Jia sees Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

She is not a civilian girl, she is the Princess Roujia gifted by the emperor, the daughter of the same prince, the Princess Roujia who is like the emperor's sister.Although it was the first time to call Long Live, her voice was clear and respectful, with the reverence of the powerful ministers for the emperor, the tactful and wonderful voice passed through the screen and passed into Emperor Yuanchang's ears.

Dong Yuan already understood in his heart that this master is the Lord of all peoples, the Holy Lord of the world, Emperor Yuanchang.Her eldest aunt is in charge of the inner house of Xue's mansion, and she knows best that a woman's boudoir is related to her life.

If it wasn't for this person who couldn't stay here for a long time, if it wasn't for this that made Mrs. Shizi dare not disobey, Mrs. Shizi would not play tricks under the old lady's eyes.

The only possibility is that this person is the emperor, so he dared to let Shizi's wife push Dong Yuan into this room at the risk of the world.

The figure sitting on the big kang by the window behind the screen paused.

Maybe it was because she was surprised by her intelligence, maybe it was shocked by her calmness, or maybe it was guessing why Mrs. Shizi told her in advance. After a long while, Dong Yuan heard him say: "Get up, come and talk." The voice was gentle and low Alcohol, very nice to hear, not as cold as Majestic World, but as kind as the elder brother next door.

Dong Yuan didn't get up, but knocked his head heavily on the bluestone bricks of the wing room of Yonglian Temple.

In March, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, but the Yonglian Mountain at dusk is still quite chilly.The chill in the dark inner room was even worse. Dong Yuan was wearing a moon-white threaded skirt and knelt on the cold floor. The chill was slowly soaking through her body along her knees. The hands lying on the ground were frozen or frightened. stiff.

"Your Majesty, Roujia is unmarried. If you go to the court, you should see him. But the small room accommodates the body of a dragon, and it is Roujia who deserves to die. Let Your Majesty be trapped here. If you meet alone again, you will rush to the dragon." Qi, Rou Jia can't be blamed for death!" Dong Yuan's voice was a little slow.

Because of nervousness, because of the cold, she trembled a little, and she didn't dare to speak quickly, for fear of revealing her strange state.

There was another brief silence behind the screen, and after a while, Emperor Yuanchang smiled faintly: "Sister Yuan, you are so smart! I forgive you for your innocence, come to my side. Do you want me to help you in person?"

Dong Yuan called himself Roujia every word and every word, just hoping that he would remember that she was the Royal Princess Roujia.

But Emperor Yuanchang didn't seem to hear it, and said "Sister Yuan" extinguished more than half of Dong Yuan's hopes!
He left Beijing with a body of ten thousand gold and came here, and he was so secretive, he must have left the palace secretly.How could he let her spit out lotus flowers and give up his original idea in a few words?
Dong Yuan's body trembled even more.

She thought that if she was given the marriage, she would be able to avoid entering the palace.

But with Emperor Yuanchang coming this time, maybe her fate will be determined like this.

Do not!
She kept resisting in her heart, she didn't want to enter the palace, and she didn't want to be a lonely soul inside the forbidden wall.She is getting married in a month.As long as she is married, she will no longer have anything to do with the palace.

She cannot afford to fall short.

Dong Yuan was still attached to the ground, pressing his forehead against the cold ground, his voice became more and more steady and resolute: "Your Majesty, Rou Jia dare not!"

The man behind the screen was breathless.

Dong Yuan's heart was beating wildly like a drum, and her hands couldn't help trembling, but fine sweat gushed out from her forehead, and she was sticking her jade-colored embroidered curly grass-pattern slipper to her body, only then did she realize that her back was wet with sweat.

Emperor Yuanchang was silent for a moment, then stood up suddenly.

Dong Yuan heard the sound of slow and hasty footsteps, walking around the screen and walking towards her.

She didn't dare to raise her head, her body trembled more and more.She obviously wanted to run away, but reason told her that running away was the worst policy.

The sound of footsteps stopped beside her, and the rustling of her clothes sounded. Emperor Yuanchang bent down, and a resolute and warm hand grabbed her arm.

Dong Yuan's body was weak, at this moment, she no longer dared to refuse, so she could only follow his hand and stand up.

She lowered her eyes and felt the heavy breathing of the people around her, but she didn't dare to look up.

The hand holding her arm gradually tightened, and with just one force, she would fall into his arms.Since ancient times, the royal temples have been so dirty, and there are no fewer women who lost their lives here.If she loses her body here today, in this life, she, Dongyuan Xue, can only be Emperor Yuanchang's woman, no matter what her status is.

Cold sweat ran down her cheeks without warning. Many methods that Dong Yuan had thought of before disappeared without a trace. Her mind was blank, as if she was walking alone in the vast snowy area. She felt cold and hopeless with no way out. .

It turned out that she was so insignificant that she was trampled on like an ant.
