Chapter 33

"But you saw it." He lowered his face, "Girls, you can't show your body to a man, and you can't just look at a man's body. If you see it, you have to marry him. You must want to see me, and then marry me." Give it to me, so that I can enjoy the glory and wealth, just like those empresses outside."

"No!" she said loudly, "I don't want to marry you! I don't want to be a concubine either! I just want to pick up pearls!"

"Is this bead?" He spread out his right hand, with an agate bead in his palm, and the red sleeve covered half of his palm, making the bead unprovoked and enchanting.

She reached out to take it, but he withdrew his palm and covered the agate with his slender fingers: "This belongs to the eldest grandson of the emperor."

"I'm taking the emperor's eldest grandson to play..." She hurriedly explained.

He interrupted her: "You want beads, exchange them for something."

"I have nothing to give you in exchange."

"What do you have on you?" He looked at her, saw a red string around her neck, stretched out his hand and pulled it out, and tied a thumb-sized wooden pendant at the bottom.The pendant is carved in the shape of a leaf, and the material is ordinary elm, which is not precious.On the back of the pendant are engraved four words "cool as a clear spring".

"What is this?" he asked.

"My mother left it to me."

"Where's your mother?"

"She's dead..." Thinking of her deceased mother, and the situation of leaving her hometown and living under a fence, she began to cry.

He paused for a moment, then quickly gathered the wooden pendant in his palm: "Exchange this."

"Don't!" She reached out to hold his hand, held it, and let it go immediately.

"Yes!" he said forcefully, "I'll return it to you in the future. If you don't change it, I won't return the bead to you. I'll see what you can give to the emperor's eldest grandson, the second prince, and the emperor! With so many people, you will be beheaded."

"But..." She thought about her mother, wanted to survive, and hesitated.And he had already untied the red rope, she watched with tears in her eyes, very reluctant to part.

He took her worthless wooden pendant, and returned the agate bead to her: "Okay, you go, I won't pursue what you peeked at, and I won't tell anyone else, so you won't be punished."

She stood up, looking like a dumb man eating coptis, and walked out holding agate in both hands.She read her mother's relics, turned her head every three steps, and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

When she walked to the door, when she turned her head for the third time, he suddenly rushed over and grabbed her: "Will you be my concubine when you grow up?"

She was startled, and shook her head instinctively, but her face showed hesitation.He is the master, and he still holds her mother's relics, she dare not resist too thoroughly.

He knew that her hesitation was not due to her reluctance to be honored, but she did not dare to disobey, so he coaxed: "If you become my concubine, no one will bully you. The empress will not scold you, the mother will not beat you, I can do it." Take you out of the palace, wherever you want to go..."

Go wherever you want...

The first two things don't matter to her.She has an aunt who is a queen, and no one will beat her or scold her.However, since she entered the palace, she has lost her freedom. Everyone treats her well. The only requirement is not to run around. Even my aunt has given strict instructions, lest she go to the wrong place...

So, the last temptation was thrown in front of her, she caught it, and nodded to him: "OK."
