Not long after Shen Changqing left, he called someone to bring Luo Shang to Yue Hua Pavilion to familiarize with the rules, so that she wouldn't make any mistakes in the future.
Therefore, when Luo Shang returned to her West Garden, it was already late at night.
Wearily walking step by step on the smooth stone ground, she slightly raised her head. In the dark night, she could not see anything.
He gently pushed open the door, afraid that he would disturb the rest of the people inside.
When she walked in, the darkness that greeted her from within the room had engulfed her entire body.
Luo Shang did not light the lamp, she immediately went around the table in the center and walked to the corner of the room that belonged to her.
Even with the light of the lamp, the place she was in would only be dark and cold.
The bed was very hard. It was made up of several wooden planks supporting each other. Under the white gauze, Luo Shang sat down on the side of the bed. She took off her shoes and arranged them in a proper manner.
Just as she pulled a corner of the blanket, she felt that her palm was slightly wet. She stretched out her hand towards the center of the bed and the pillow. They were both wet, and could still squeeze out water.
And then she heard the laughter of the women on the beds next to her. They were still awake, so they should be waiting to see this good show of hers.
"Sleep with me."
The light shone brightly in the small corner, reflecting off the wall and revealing a black shadow.
When Luo Shang turned around, she was wearing a set of white casual clothes, and holding a candle in her hand, she looked at her.
"No, thank you." Luo Shang's beautiful eyes dimmed a little as she gently rejected him.
After that, he did not say anything. He only got up, put on some clothes, glanced at the Bravehearts, and walked out.
Su Qing watched as she closed the door, thinking: What a stubborn child.
She shook her head and turned.
"Since they're unwilling to accept your kindness, then what's the point in doing so? You're truly asking for trouble." Qing Ning got up from the bed, walked to the front of the table and sat down, deliberately talking while pouring herself a cup of tea, she blew on it with her lips and drank it.
"What about you? Would it be fun to do that?"
"Of course."
"Then I must congratulate you." Su Qing laughed.
Qing Ning frowned, she was confused by her words, and asked: "What do you mean?"
Su Qing did not answer her. Instead, she returned the candle in her hand to the candlestick and picked up his clothes from the shelf before putting them on.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Qing Ning stood up and asked: Where are you going? Looking for her? "
Seeing that Su Qing did not answer, she was a little angry. Su Qing, you want to fight me? "
Qing Ning, Su Qing. The two of them came from Southern Garden, and there were over a thousand dancers in the backyard. It was only the two of them who had the most beautiful looks and the highest intelligence, so they enjoyed a privilege that others did not have.
These two were fated to be enemies.
Qing Ning was originally a young miss from a wealthy family, but because she wholeheartedly wanted to stay in the Prince Jin Palace, she became the Duke Palace's dancing girl.
As for her, Su Qing, she was just the daughter of an insignificant, poor family. Her background was already so lowly, but she had the same privileges as her.
The moment Luo Shang did this, it made him even more hostile.
"Su Qing... You just wait and see. "
Following the sound of the door slamming, Qing Ning also shouted loudly. She angrily pulled on the tablecloth, leaving a mess on the floor under her broken voice, which shocked everyone into silence.
— —
Fortunately, tonight, the wind was not very cold, so people who blew would not feel very cold.
Luo Shang stood under a tall cherry blossom tree. She raised her head halfway and looked at those tender pink petals which were trembling slightly.
There was only one cherry tree in this yard.
Petals gently fell, and she stretched out her hand to receive them. Looking at the falling flower in her palm, her heart immediately became incomparably heavy.
"Flower is as others wish, there's no need to be sentimental."
There was no need to turn around, just based on the voice alone, Luo Shang could already guess that it was Su Qing.
"She smiled faintly, pursing her long eyelashes and putting away the sadness in her eyes." There is love in flowers, how can it pass away just by looking at it? "
She sighed softly and scattered the flowers in her hands.
"Do you really not want to accept my good intentions?" Su Qing laughed.
Maybe she was kind, but the more it was that way, the more Luo Shang didn't want to get close to her, and wanted to implicate her.
"Maybe we'll be good friends."
"But I don't need friends." Luo Shang said indifferently.
"Luo Shang, do you have to be so blunt? In fact, you don't have to worry about what you fear never happening to me. " Su Qing had thought that although this girl was stubborn, she was not as stubborn as she was. She was wrong, Luo Shang was more stubborn than she had imagined, it was not easy for her to accept him.
"I have no qualms."
Seeing how determined she was, Su Qing just smiled gently, in no rush. In short, Luo Shang would accept her sooner or later.
Su Qing turned to look at her expression, which was still locked onto the cherry blossom tree, and interrupted.
"You like cherry blossoms very much?"
Luo Shang looked at the flower tree. She did not speak, but nodded instead.
When Su Qing came out of her room, he saw her staring at the cherry blossom tree. Presumably, she was also happy about this tree.
She asked again, "Then have you heard of the Empress Madam Yan of Wei Guo?"
"Nope."
"Cherry Blossom is the love of the Madam Yan Empress of Wei. I've always heard people talk about that extraordinary Queen. I heard that she is also a lady from a noble family in Wu Zhou, but no one knows which one. "Ever since she married into the Kingdom of Wei, no one has ever seen her smile. In order to please her, the Emperor planted cherry trees all over the palace …"
"And then?" Luo Shang turned her head, as if she was still interested in understanding this topic.
In other words, she actually felt a sense of familiarity and unfamiliarity towards the destroyed State of Wei.
"Later on, the Queen had a princess, and the moment the princess was born, the Emperor of Wei State bestowed her with the title of Ninth Princess. Even so, the queen never smiled. It was only fourteen years later, when the Ninth Princess's Coming of Age Ceremony was supposed to be reserved for the Prince Consort, that the Queen finally smiled. However, the good news did not last long. When the princess was nineteen, the Acropolis Empire went into chaos, and the emperor of the Acropolis Empire suddenly died. The Madam Yan, who loved the cherry blossoms, also committed suicide in Zhaoyang Palace. "
"Where is that Ninth Princess?" she asked.
Su Qing patted the cherry blossoms on his shirt and continued, "It also died. It is said that it was to protect her country and the man she loved that she jumped off the cliff and died."
Hearing this, Luo Shang was only sad for the Kingdom of Wei, for the Queen and the princess. In the end, they weren't able to escape the shackles of fate.
At the same time —
In the study room of the Yue Pavilion, an extremely handsome man was sitting in front of a table and reading a book.
His heart was not very calm, so his hands flipped through the book very quickly. His expression was also scattered, especially his raised eyebrows. They were twisted into a clear black line in the middle of his forehead.
A few knocks on the door.
"Your Highness ~" The maidservant outside the door called out softly. Seeing the light on, she carefully opened the door.
Little Cai walked over while carrying a bowl of proline and bird's nest soup that was a tribute from the Western Regions. She bent over and blew on it a few times, then handed it over to the man.
Seeing that he did not move, Little Cai placed the soup on the table beside him.
She gazed at the book in the man's hand, "The Western Chamber". For a moment, she was curious about why the prince would read this book today, since he had never read such an indecisive book.
Little Cai suddenly recalled that a few days ago, when she was chatting with the Princess Chaoyang, she seemed to have mentioned this book and it was heard by the Duke.
Could it be that Your Highness is …
Little Cai was lost in thought. She accidentally knocked her right leg against the side of the table, making a sound. She had actually forgotten about the man in front of her.
"Your servant deserves to die, your servant …"
"How is she?"
Just as Little Cai was about to timidly beg for forgiveness, she heard a voice of a king above his head. His voice was neither cold nor hot, and neither hot nor cold.
"Royal Consort... She has already settled in the Southern Garden of the rear courtyard, so this servant has already taken care of everything.
"Worried? What's there to worry about, This King? " Leng Shaoyu chuckled and placed the book in his hand on the table, stretching his body as he leaned on the chair behind him.
"It's all this servant's fault." However, Your Royal Highness, most of the women in the imperial harem are extremely high-spirited. This servant is actually worried that the Princess won't be able to go smoothly there. If something were to happen, then … "
Although Little Cai had instructed Shen Changqing to take good care of Luo Shang before he left, after entering the palace for so many years, she was well aware of the scheming of the women of the Prince's Manor. Furthermore, Luo Shang had entered as a crippled concubine, and would inevitably be ridiculed and troubled by the women.
I'm afraid that her days in the future will not be easy.
"That's her life, too." Leng Shaoyu spoke coldly, without a trace of worry.
There were no other emotions in his eyes, only a slight frown between his sexy eyebrows.
"This way is also good. She can learn to be more docile." The man's thin lips curled up into a smile, and he seemed to have thought of something else. The light in his long and narrow eyes was both beautiful and cold, causing one to shiver.
Although Little Cai was intelligent, she still could not understand the deep meaning behind Prince's words.
"What else do you want to say?"
Little Cai was startled. The King was truly a man of terrifying astuteness. Anyone would find it difficult to escape his notice.
"This servant dares. Since the prince's heart has been moved by wangfei, why is it that he treats her like this? Why is it called wangfei's heart chills?" Little Cai was sweating profusely. After saying that, she realized that she really did not care for her life, and dared to ask about the Duke's private matters. She lowered her head, not daring to raise it.
Leng Shaoyu only raised his chin and frowned. After a while, he asked: "Who said that I had feelings for her?"
"Yes, servant, servant dares to guess …" Little Cai knew that the Duke never liked people trying to figure out his thoughts, and others couldn't figure it out either. The unfathomable depth of this man was far beyond what they could imagine.
"Go down." Leng Shaoyu closed his eyes, and leaned on the back with some mental difficulty.
Little Cai wanted to say something, but after seeing this, she became serious and bowed: Yes, this servant will take his leave.
After Little Cai closed the door, the man slowly opened his eyes. His cold and emotionless eyes revealed a sense of worry and confusion.
He giggled and mouthed, "My heart is moved..."
Therefore, when Luo Shang returned to her West Garden, it was already late at night.
Wearily walking step by step on the smooth stone ground, she slightly raised her head. In the dark night, she could not see anything.
