Demon folding

Chapter 19: What's the use?

Although I woke up, my body was still weak, and I was still sleepy, and I couldn't wake up more than two hours a day.

Bathing, eating, and medicine consume more than half of the time. If you want to concentrate on reading, you can't bear the tiredness in your heart. You always fall asleep on the couch while flipping through the short books.

The first half of the month passed in a daze, but Shi Huan didn't come back, and I didn't even have the chance to ask him how to arrange and deal with the matter of Jie Fusheng.

Hiding from me, or hiding from himself?

It's rare that I feel better on this day, so I read the brief book for a while while lying on the warm couch.

The door of the hall creaked softly, it was the maid who was waiting by her side on the day she woke up and entered the hall, she circled several plum blossoms on the left and right, and whispered happily.

Perhaps she thought that I had already fallen asleep, so she lost her regular behavior. Looking at the plum blossom in her hand, she didn't realize that I was still lying on the warm couch in the small study.

I saw that Plum Peanut was full of vigor, and the bright heart stamens in the center were clustered with Shengbai petals, which were so gorgeous and blooming that people loved it, but it shouldn't make her miss her so much...

Curiosity spread, I raised my hand to stop the maid next to me from reminding her, and held my breath quietly to see what she had in mind.

After she came in, she stood in front of the vase in the corner, looking left and right at the plum blossoms in her hand, as if she didn't know which cluster to put.

After a long delay, I hesitated so much that I couldn't stand it anymore and was anxious for her, so I asked, "Is there still a plum tree in Que Bo Terrace? Why is it so beautiful that it is already in full bloom before the month has passed?"

She turned around in shock, met me with her eyes, and immediately wanted to bow to the ground, but there were delicate and beautiful plum blossoms in her hands, she was reluctant to break them casually, so she knelt straight and straightened her back and said, "I don't know that the princess has not rested yet. Salute, and ask the princess to forgive me."

I saw that she was still protecting the plum blossoms in her palm carefully, and couldn't hide her curiosity, so I asked directly, "Although the plum blossoms are beautiful, it doesn't mean that you should take care of them so far, right?"

After waking up for a few days, I slept for a long time, mostly due to physical fatigue and shallow sleep. After a few nights of tossing, she was always by my side. I asked the maid beside me casually, and I found out that she was transferred to Que Botai to take care of me for the last time. One of the most attentive for a long time.

With a soft heart, even though I never asked her name, I was a little more indulgent with her daily service.

She is not arrogant, even if there are some informal people who don't show up on the stage, she will only show a little indulgence in front of me, and she is a strict person in charge of other people.

I like that she handles things well, so I am willing to pamper her.

She saw that I was joking lightly, and understood that I was not in a bad mood. Before I called her up, she got up and came to me, and smiled politely, "Hey, princess, you don't know, Que Botai is originally a home. Built with fire, the sun is strong, and the place is also warm. Plum blossoms in other places don’t bloom until February and March after the new year, but those in Taichung have been released long ago. Today, the servants and maids passed by the backyard and saw several people scurrying outside the courtyard wall. The plum blossoms are delicate and beautiful, and they make people happy when they look at them. The servant girl thinks that the princess's body is not yet fully cultivated, so she wants to break a few plum blossoms and bring them into the palace to decorate the palace. Seeing you, maybe she is in a good mood It's good to follow, isn't it?"

She talked cheerfully and flatteringly for a while, as indifferent as I felt warm, she lightly held the letter and nodded her head, and said with a smile, "Que Botai counts you as the best talker."

She stuck out her tongue, shrunk her neck and held up the plum blossoms in her left and right hands to block her body, "It's not like a servant will say, no, when you see plum blossoms, your smile looks prettier than Hua'er, doesn't it?"

"Do you want to make progress, dare to tease me." She glanced at her, and couldn't help but linger on the two clusters of plum blossoms.

The plum blossoms are in full bloom. From a distance, the branches are beautiful, but from a close view, the hearts are exquisite. It is indeed amazing and durable.

Turning my eyes, I saw that she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, she should be older than me, her stature had already grown, and her slender body was not lost under the large white palace gown.

She has delicate features and loves to smile, it doesn't matter if it's me, even the people in the palace who have serious thoughts would like to get close to her.

At this moment, the delicate and beautiful plum blossoms in my hands are indeed more delicate than flowers. After thinking about it, I asked her softly, "What's your name?"

She was slightly startled, then opened the corners of her mouth, her smiling eyes curled up slightly, and she said coquettishly, "I thought the princess would never ask the maidservant's name."

I gave her a white look, picked up the book and knocked on her briefly, "Are you asking for a beating?"

She dodged briskly, just dodged and came back and continued to laugh, "Why don't you dare!"

"What's the use?"

I was stupefied with joy, couldn't hold back my smile and leaned back on the couch and laughed, "Which careless parent gave you such a name? I don't think you are useless, you are simply too useful! "

"Hmph, it's not my family!"

She made a detour for me, as soon as she agreed, she knew she had suffered a disadvantage, she rolled her eyes, and seeing me still kept laughing, she pouted and hummed, "Who told me I was a daughter, if it wasn't Entering the palace, I'm afraid I can't even get the name, isn't it called He Gu He Gu?"

I slowly suppressed my smile.

It is true that civilian families are very happy to have children. First, they can get military salary from the army to subsidize the family. Second, they can go to the fields early to help with farm work.

If she gave birth to a daughter, it was so easy to raise her, and she would always marry another woman. After all, it would be a loss that outweighed the gain.

Some families are ruthless and beat their daughters at birth. They either strangled and drowned early, or left behind those wild dogs and wolves in the wilderness. It is actually the same as strangling and drowning.

She grew up safely into her teens, and it was a lucky thing to have a name.With such a name on the stall, I am afraid that the family members don't want her to enter the palace, and they will pay more than married people, so they simply use her name to vent their unwillingness.

Sitting up calmly, I beckoned her to come closer.

She turned her eyes suspiciously and hesitated for a moment, then moved closer.

I reached out and pinched the soft flesh of her cheek, pretending to be cruel, "Good girl, why are you not happy with such a good name? It is the most important thing to use the world, and now you are in the palace for my use. The usual life is already the difference between the sky and the earth. I don’t want to be restrained. I not only use you but also let you do whatever you want. Doesn’t it make you happy? Why bother with the name? Isn’t the matter of having a name itself worthy of your joy?”

Seeing the strength in my hand, she pretended to be yelling and struggled. After listening to a few words, she didn't move. She opened a pair of foggy eyes and looked at me for a moment, and the corners of her mouth twitched to the point of crying.

I was surprised and puzzled, thinking that what I said was all to make her happy, how could I make her cry?

After thinking about it, she came to understand, threw her away in disgust and said, "Why, I'm so moved that I'm about to cry? Then I've taken care of you for more than a year, so why don't I hug your leg with gratitude?"

Unexpectedly, she really knelt down and looked like she was really going to hug my leg. I was so scared that I curled up on the couch and said, "You are crying with snot and tears, don't try to rub it on me!"

Fortunately, the two clusters of beautiful plum blossoms in her hand stopped her, she still did not give up and leaned against the couch, holding up the plum blossoms in her hands with tears in her eyes and crying, "Princess, you are really a good person! Seeing that you are so good, the two The bouquet of plum blossoms is yours!"

I panicked at her kind words, but fortunately the past scenes were overwhelmed by her reckless behavior, even so, I still couldn't bear the depression and kicked her across the leg.

It is not an exaggeration to call it a kick, but it is not an exaggeration to call it a nudge. It is not as good as the confusion and depression she made me think of the past tragedy. I couldn't explain anything to her for a while, so I pretended to be bored. ...Wait, what do you mean you gave it all to me? Could it be that you want to give it to someone else? "

She was swaying in the blanket just as I kicked her, holding a plum blossom like a tortoise shell with her legs upturned, presumably to amuse me and play dumb, listened to me change the subject, and sat up straight , pursing the corners of his lips and shaking his head without speaking.

Seeing her insisting on it, I became interested, and pretended to be angry and said, "Say it or not? If you don't tell me, I'll send someone to investigate. Once it is found out, you will suffer a lot!"

"Hey, hey, don't!" She looked panicked, but her eyes were cunning.

Thinking about it, she couldn't hide what was on her mind for a long time, she knew that I wouldn't be really angry about it, so she just wanted to let me know by saying it.At this point, I can think of it clearly. She looks light and simple, but she is also a person who can hide a lot of thoughts.

She leaned over, annoyed, I kicked her with all my might, and said with a sneer, "It's really my head!"

Unprepared, she took a real hit, and without even turning red, she pressed down my trouser legs and sat on the blanket, with a flattering smile on her face, and said, "Princess, princess, I'm only talking to you... "

I helplessly supported my forehead and ordered, "You all go down."

I like to be quiet, there are not many people serving in the palace, except for the use, there are only four maids serving in the small study room, at this moment, after listening to the order, they bowed together and retreated.

Seeing that they were very obedient, I thought of them serving together for a long time, and said, "What's the use of all of you who have reported your names later, if there is nothing interesting, I will think about it later, and then I will change it for you."

Several maids in the palace were delighted immediately, knelt down and saluted, "My servant thanked the princess."

I nodded, "Let's go."

He Yong was full of surprise, then complacent, and said, "Princess, I just said that plum blossoms are useful, right? Seeing that you are in a good mood, you even took care of their names, it's not fair!"

"What's unfair?" I glanced at her. "You have served me for more than a year, and they are not short. No one is like you. You gave me a pole and climbed on my head. If you say If you don’t know who to send it to, come and see how I deal with you.”

"Okay, okay, that's what I said."

She pretended to be wronged, turned around and put the plum blossoms in her hands into the big vase in the corner, and then sat down on the side of the couch, her watery eyes looked at me seriously and said, "Princess Do you still remember that the servant girl once said that the king will watch over you every night?"

I was startled in my heart, I don't know why she would mention this matter, when I thought that Ji Huan hadn't appeared for a long time, I couldn't help sneering, and said coldly, "Is he really coming every night?"

She nodded heavily, a little angrily at my unbelief, and argued with a more emphatic tone, "What I said is true!"

I couldn't deny her a glance, and seeing that she seemed to be thinking of something, her brows and eyes drifted away, and I said lightly, "It's strange, why does the king always wear a strange mask? It's like that person, but it's a little different ..."

"What is that person, please speak clearly!"

When Xu Shi mentioned Shi Huan, my heart became restless and irritable, and my tone changed accordingly.

"Princess, don't worry."

She noticed the change in my mood, and comforted me, "I heard that there is another disturbance in the country of Qi. Your Majesty will definitely come over after dealing with the political affairs."

I glared at her.

She shrank her neck innocently, and whispered, "Didn't the king always watch over you at night? The slaves can't rest at night. One day I was too sleepy to guard outside the hall, so I walked around. I didn't want to go to the plum garden. ..."

Listening to her talking about the business, I suppressed my impatience and carefully pondered what she said by grinding my index finger with my right hand.

Seeing me relax, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although Que Bo Terrace is warm in winter, summer is quite difficult. The plum garden is lush and lush, and it is a blessed place to enjoy the cool air, so I stayed for a while longer."

Speaking of this, her erratic wandering eyebrows appeared again, and the smile on the corners of her lips made her exude a particularly bright look.

"While wandering around, I was about to pick pears when I felt someone watching me. I looked over and saw a man in green clothes leaning on the pear tree. The man was wearing a fox mask like a king, leaning on the pear tree. The branches of the tree were swinging their legs leisurely. I saw the mask and thought it was the king. I was about to shout, but I suddenly remembered that the king was guarding you. How could he appear in the plum garden? Que Botai is the place where the god of fire sacrificed. In this land, some strange and inexplicable things often happen, I have the right to think so, thinking about it is full of horror."

Tsing Yi and fox mask, isn't that Shi Huan?

Why use to be immersed in my own thoughts, I didn't think to ask her now, but apart from being surprised, there were also some unknown awkwardness, which made me reluctantly glance at her.

I thought to myself, is she prettier, or am I prettier?

"Princess, are you listening?"

He Yong's hand suddenly dangled in front of my eyes, I came back to my senses, my face was a little hot, and I hated myself for being compared with He Yong!

I hurriedly turned my face away, and gave her a nervous look, but fortunately she didn't notice anything strange about me, and continued talking on her own, which made me breathe a sigh of relief.

"I was just frightened. The man in Tsing Yi jumped down from the tree and landed in front of me. I retreated in a panic. I didn't know where my feet hit. I was caught in my arms, and it was he who hugged me..."

When she said this, her cheeks flushed in amazement, she carefully looked at her eyes, and said in a low voice, "I think it should be that time...read him..."

"what?"

My mind went blank for an instant, and I frowned and stared at her with embarrassment, wondering how it was possible!

"Did you read it?" I still couldn't confirm that this happened, and said in surprise, "You have never seen him before, so you read it?"

"Hey, princess, you don't know, probably, it's really a matter that you can't decide who to read."

She sighed, there was no other color between her eyebrows, she probably thought that I was surprised because of her thoughts, only I knew best how afraid I was of that person being Shi Huan.

"Really..." Clutching my palms, I pretended not to care and asked, "Then how does he treat you?"

"This..." She said hesitantly, her loss was obvious, and she said wearily, "Is this servant also worried...so I saw Meihua today, and thought about showing him to him, but he always shows up from time to time. Appeared, I don’t know if he’s here tonight. Alas, he always makes people’s hearts hang in a strange way..."

Seeing that she wasn't sure if that person had intentions, I calmed down a bit, and hearing her sad words were strange, I suppressed the embarrassment in my heart and asked, "What's so strange?"

She held her cheeks worriedly, and said with a sigh of relief, "There are many strange things. The strangest thing is that he always appears at night. I even deliberately went to the plum garden to look for him during the day, but I never saw him. No wonder Could it be that he is a person near Que Bo Terrace, and it is not convenient to come in during the day, so he always climbs over the wall at night?"

Facing her bewildered eyebrows and eyes that were not fake, I gradually had a terrible thought in my heart.

"Que Botai is not an easy place to come and go. He dared to take the risk to meet you at night. Presumably he already regards you as an important person."

"Really?" She brightened her eyes, and greeted me with radiant beauty, "Hearing what the princess said, although this servant feels that it is still a bit impossible, she is much happier in her heart."

Seeing her overwhelmed with joy, I'm afraid she's really lost in thought, if the person in Tsing Yi in the garden is as I guessed, what should I do?

"How about this, if you still want to see him tonight, and bring me there too, how about letting me take a look at him for you?"

After much deliberation, I can only look at the situation first and then make plans.

"That's it," she frowned hesitantly, and said with evasive eyebrows, "I'm afraid it's not good... If something goes wrong and someone finds him, it can be explained that he is from the stage. If not, according to those old men, Oh no, the fire is making adults angry, if you are really angry, it is possible to break his legs... Maybe you will lose your life..."

I felt something was wrong when I heard it, and I scolded her coldly, "What's the use, are you hiding something!"

The blood on her face faded away, her panicked and startled eyes flickered for a moment before she came over in a daze.

"Princess, can you believe that there are ghosts in this world?"

Sure enough, she had already felt it.

Since she has the bottom line in her heart, it will be more troublesome to deal with this matter.

"What's the use, do you really want to take an unclear person to heart?"

Maybe I looked into her eyes too indulgently and distressed, she let the tears flow down wronged, and whispered like a light smoke, "I can't figure it out, why did I read it..."

She cried uncontrollably, and I couldn't help feeling sour. It's just that after experiencing the past of Qinglingtai, and after life and death, I will never let myself be in a passive situation indifferently.

"Then you should take me to see him!"
