The blinding morning sunlight shone onto the woman's face. Under the intense speed of light, Luo Shang, who was leaning against a tree, slowly opened her eyes. She had actually fallen asleep here last night.
On a summer's morning, when the sun had just risen, the weather was still somewhat cool. Luo Shang shuddered, and rubbed her hands together under her shoulders a few times. Then, she propped herself up from the tree, and tidied up her messy dress.
He dragged his stiff legs and walked step by step around the stone balustrade, through the intersecting willow trees and towards the edge of the pool.
At the edge of the pool, she squatted down. The pool water was very clear, so it was easy to see her reflection in the water.
Luo Shang looked at her reflection in the water and rolled up her loose sleeves. Her slender white hands slowly reached into the water, and the initial iciness caused her to immediately retract her hands. Only after that, did she gradually get used to the water's temperature.
Her two hands slowly peeled away the fine lines from the water. Water splashed on her face in her palms as she gently wiped it with a few times.
The wind blew past, bringing flowers from the jungle on both sides of the pond. Petals floated in the water with the wind, floating on the surface of the pond.
"It's like a tattered jade that's as smooth as water, ever so shallow …"
Her half smiling eyes quietly stared at the surface of the water, sighing softly.
Luo Shang lifted the hair that was in a mess by her ear, the lashes that were still stained with water slowly dried up.
She stood up and walked back to the Yue Pavilion.
The journey was rather peaceful and quiet. In fact, it was just her heart that gradually calmed down.
Just as he entered, he saw Little Cai bringing two servant girls to the center of the courtyard. Seeing her walk in, Little Cai immediately walked up to her.
She first smiled, then said, "The prince has ordered this servant to bring you to the backyard. From today onwards, you will be living there. If you have any other orders, someone else will inform you."
"The backyard?"
"When the wangfei enters the estate late at night, she still needs to thoroughly understand some matters of the rear courtyard. Your servant has already spoken to the aunt of the manager in the backyard, so once you're there, if you have any questions, you can ask her. That aunt is also a kind person, so I presume he won't make things too difficult for you, esteemed wangfei. "
"But what kind of place is this backyard?" Luo Shang had heard of it before, but she did not question it in detail at that time.
Little Cai was actually quite patient as she explained in a respectful manner: "When the late emperor was first king, the rear courtyard was established in this prince's mansion to seek pleasure, and was also established in this mansion, where the girls and girls of the Duke Palaces would usually live and practice. The Prince said … I said that you would be very suitable for that place, so I instructed this servant to bring you over today to train. "
"Practice what?" How do you learn to be a good dancer to please him? " Only now did Luo Shang remember what the man said yesterday.
"What, pleased This King, makes you very unhappy?"
A cold voice that pierced through the appeal of the crowd rang out from the side.
When Luo Shang turned around, she only saw the man leaning on the side corridor. He had a tall and elegant body, and half of him was leaning towards the grand body.
Wearing an ice blue and black satin robe, the edge of the silver hibiscus flowers within the robe was revealed. It reflected the hair that was carelessly scattered behind him, cleverly revealing the extraordinary figure of a man.
He was wearing a jade belt around his waist and his hands were tied in front of his chest. His handsome face was as distinct as a sculpture. His angular face was abnormally handsome and valiant.
The man turned to her.
As Luo Shang looked at him, her devilish face would inevitably cause others to fall if she were to stare for too long. Seeing his pair of calm eyes staring at him, Luo Shang suddenly came back to her senses.
When she turned around, the man had already walked down the stairs, heading in her direction.
"Your servant greets Your Highness …"
"Your servant greets Your Highness …"
Little Cai and the servant followed the man and approached him, half squatting down to greet him.
"All of you, leave first." Leng Shaoyu's gaze was always on Luo Shang's body, and did not shift his gaze away for even a moment.
"Yes, Your Highness." Little Cai glanced at Luo Shang, and then took her leave with the girls.
Waiting for the servants to gradually disappear outside Yue Pavilion's big cinnabar door, the man opened his mouth first.
"This King is asking you."
Luo Shang raised her head, she silently laughed and said: "Even if I am dissatisfied, I am still unable to change anything. Rather than that, I might as well gladly accept."
"Oh?"
Leng Shaoyu's lips curved up in a beautiful smile. Obviously, he had given him a satisfactory answer.
He squinted his slightly smiling eyes. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and wrapped his arm around her slender waist, taking the opportunity to pull her into his chest.
Luo Shang was thrown into a panic by his sudden action. The protrusion on her chest was pressed tightly against the man's broad chest, and she could feel his calm breathing, which seemed to be beating at the same time.
"What are you doing?" She put her hands in front of the man and tilted her head back.
Seeing her unnecessary resistance and struggle, Leng Shaoyu couldn't help but sneer. Raising the corner of his evil and charming lips, he moved closer to her and said softly, "Didn't you gladly accept it?"
"Heh …" "You sure are acting." Seeing her reaction, the man laughed mockingly. With a face full of disdain, he released his hand.
"Take her there." He turned and instructed Little Cai, and then turned and left, as if he had some important matters to take care of.
Luo Shang watched as he walked into the room, and the door slowly closed behind him.
"Princess, it's getting late. Let's go." Little Cai warned her softly.
In the backyard —
The unfamiliar place he was about to be familiar with was not remote at all. Instead, it was surrounded by an extremely beautiful environment.
Luo Shang followed behind Little Cai, and after walking around a long distance, they finally arrived at the main entrance of an Inner Palace.
As soon as he took one step forward, an older woman walked over. She was dressed in brown silk, embroidered with yellow osmanthus flowers, and had an ordinary bun and high plate on her head. Only, there was a dark green jade hairpin embedded in her coiled hair.
Her weather-beaten face had a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and a dark mole on her chin.
There were four girls following him.
"Aunt Evergreen, this is the Princess Jin that I spoke to you about yesterday." Little Cai explained with a smile.
Shen Changqing looked at Little Cai, and nodded in agreement with a smile, and then turned his gaze back at Luo Shang.
When she saw Luo Shang's face, she could not help but be shocked, and her body swayed to the side. Luckily, the servant girl behind her was able to support her in time.
"What happened to aunt?" Seeing her reaction, Little Cai felt it was strange and asked hurriedly.
Shen Changqing's expression that had remained on Luo Shang's body for a while finally recovered. She wiped a few drops of sweat off his forehead and apologetically smiled: "My body hasn't been feeling very comfortable these past few days, please excuse me in front of young lady."
"How can that be? Aunt Evergreen has always been busy with matters of the imperial harem. It can be said that she has put in a lot of effort. Your highness will definitely remember your painstaking efforts." I hope Auntie doesn't overwork herself and doesn't get too tired. "
Little Cai had always dealt with things perfectly well. This was also the reason why she was able to take charge of everyone at her age, and become the only personal Maidservant by Prince Jin's side, and become the most popular person under Nanny Ma.
Shen Changqing naturally expressed his gratitude repeatedly, but he did not forget to look at Luo Shang who was beside his. She waved his sleeves, paid his respects first, and then said, "This servant is manager from the rear courtyard, and greets Princess Jin."
As he spoke, he knelt down with the servants.
Luo Shang immediately walked over, caressed them, shook his head, and said gently: "Aunty does not need to make such a huge bow, I hope that I can trouble Aunt with some pointers in the future."
Luo Shang looked at this manager, and actually didn't know what was going on. Why was it that when she looked at her own expression earlier, she seemed to be shocked, but under the shock in her eyes, there was even more hostility and hatred.
Her surprise was the same as the surprise of the empress dowager, but in Jinghe's eyes, other than shock, there was also an apology and happiness.
Luo Shang did not ask her, but extended her hand and caressed them.
"I dare not, I dare not. This old servant will do his best to teach the wangfei well." Shen Changqing was respectful, his attitude was friendly, she took a step closer to Luo Shang, her eyes revealed the same kind of shock and suspicion as before, but she suppressed it as much as he could.
He immediately regained his composure and instructed the maidservants behind him, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take the princess's clothes and send her into the room."
"Yes, this servant will obey." The servant took the items from the hands of the servant girl behind Little Cai, not daring to delay for even a second.
Therefore, even a small official the size of a sesame could make his subordinates submit to him. Falling for her, Luo Shang, was the only surprise in this place.
"I've spoiled this bunch of girls. I've let Princess Hua-Yang and Miss Little Cai down." As Shen Changqing said this, he raised his head and looked at the sky.
The sunlight was slanting, and very soon, it would not reach the eaves of the house.
Little Cai squinted her beautiful eyes and understood what she meant. She smiled and said: "It's getting late, I should also go back and report.
"Of course, then this servant will not send you off."
"Mm. Alright." Little Cai saluted, she looked at Luo Shang, who was beside her, and wanted to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, she did not say it, she only laughed with relief, then turned and left with her servants.
When Little Cai and the others left the back courtyard, they heard Shen Changqing say: "The Duke Palace has their own rules, so naturally our backyard has its own rules as well. Since the Duke has instructed me to treat my Royal Consort like how I usually do with my woman, I might as well cut down on the minor details, this servant will definitely give my all to teach my Royal Consort a good lesson, and at the same time, don't use my status as the princess to act like this, since you already entered our backyard, you have to follow the rules, did your Royal Consort hear clearly?"
On a summer's morning, when the sun had just risen, the weather was still somewhat cool. Luo Shang shuddered, and rubbed her hands together under her shoulders a few times. Then, she propped herself up from the tree, and tidied up her messy dress.
He dragged his stiff legs and walked step by step around the stone balustrade, through the intersecting willow trees and towards the edge of the pool.
