How to wear a goddess statue

In the evening of the next day, the group left on time.

The sky was full of sunset, and the mixed golden and red shadows enveloped Surinia. The city built of white stone seemed to be burning until the sun sank into the horizon, the clouds gathered, and the moon rose on the other side.

Now, it is time for the moon god Amira to visit the earth.

The temperature difference between day and night in this area is not big, the day is hot, the night is warm, and the occasional breeze brings a touch of coolness.

The officials led them to the place where the concubine lived.

According to the convention, the concubine either lives on the top of the tower built to pray to the gods, or lives in the temple of the sun, because she is not only the master of the city of Surinia, but also the high priest of the sun god.

But the concubine of this generation, Neymar, was determined not to follow the usual practice and could not build another palace. She simply set her residence on the first floor of the Dengtian Tower. The first floor of the originally sacred and quiet tower was transformed into a magnificent palace. palace.

As long as it is sunny, Naymar will hide at the bottom of the tower and never go out to see visitors, and will appear in front of outsiders only in rainy and snowy days.

When everyone walked outside the main entrance, it was just completely dark.

However, the night in Surinya is also bright. The moonlight on a clear night coats the ground with silver light. Even if you don’t use a lamp, your vision will not be obscured by darkness.

Having said that...

"Why don't you light the lamp?" Eleuil asked casually as he walked through the garden under the tower.

Even if the moon is very bright, the night is still dark after all, but there is no light in the Dengtian Tower in front of me, as if I have made up my mind to rely on the moonlight for illumination.

The official shook his head: "His Royal Highness doesn't like lighting lights, but please don't worry, there will be other lighting tools in the room."

Soon, everyone knew what the so-called other lighting tools were.

Luminescent pearls made of fluorite are regularly placed on both sides of the corridor, and insects with glowing tails are locked in glass cylinders and suspended in mid-air.

Although it cannot illuminate the space like a burning candle, it can at least guarantee the most basic lighting effect.

In such an environment, people will always keep quiet unconsciously. Following this bright road, a group of people silently came to the end of the corridor, which is the hall where the concubine Shen meets visitors.

Still generously using expensive night pearls for lighting, under the cold fluorescent light, you can see a large veil hanging directly behind the hall where the main seat is placed, and a lazy figure can be vaguely seen leaning on the bench.

Obviously, this is Neymar.

The person in charge of the city of Surinya, the concubine of the sun god, the younger sister of the former king, and the aunt of Eleuil.

As if not aware of anyone coming, the figure behind the gauze curtain remained unchanged and did not make a sound.

The official first forced a smile on his face and mouthed "Sorry" to the distinguished guests, then took a step forward and saluted, "Your Highness, Princess Eleuil has arrived."

The figure sat a little more upright, but it was still crooked.

This attitude can no longer be described as disrespectful, it is completely negligent.

Rhodes subconsciously looked at the princess, and Ailuil smiled at her, then withdrew the expression on his face, and said loudly: "Although I came here at the invitation of my aunt, if you are really unwell, I will only I can disturb you at another time."

The official slapped his forehead silently, and his expression was so unlovable that it was almost comparable to the envoy Acht these days.

Naymar finally spoke, her voice was melodious and soft, with an inescapable hoarseness.

"What about my invitation? You came to Surinia, don't you just want to see me?"

Aleuil replied: "You know, you still invited us here."

A hoarse laughter came from behind the gauze curtain, and it stopped after a while, and the concubine said mockingly: "If I had been as clever as you when I was a princess, I might not have ended up here."

The gauze curtain was lifted by the maids standing on both sides and fixed to both ends.

Rhodes looked up.

The concubine Neymar leaning on the main seat is as rumored, she is a charming but eerie woman, perhaps because she has not seen the light all the year round, her complexion is pale which is rarely seen among the Solan people, in black Against the backdrop of the dress and the green night pearl, it looked lifeless, even a little ghostly.

"You guys sit down by yourselves." Concubine Shen said, looking down at the princess with complicated and indifferent eyes, and then swept across the faces of the crowd, "I don't have any rules here, talk if you want to talk, leave if you don't want to chat."

I don't know if it was Luo Dasi's illusion, but that gaze seemed to stop on her before moving to the next person.

What she noticed, Ailuil naturally realized it immediately, and subconsciously wanted to block the weird gaze cast by the concubine Shen, Hao Xuan held it back, and just looked over with sharp eyes.

The concubine Shen had already looked at others, and felt the cold eyes of the princess, and turned back to look at Luodus carefully, as if to say: I just watched, what can you do to me?

Rhodes: "..."

Eleuil frowned, carefully held Rhodes' hand, and led her to sit aside.

Concubine Shen watched with great interest: "You guys, have you heard my rumors?"

Aleuil sat in front of the god and asked without emotion: "Which rumor are you referring to?"

"Of course it's the one that makes you nervous about the person behind you."

The concubine said.

The princess looked at her and knew what she meant.

Among the many mixed reviews collected, there is a specious and vague information-the "extravagant" that Her Royal Highness Shenfei lives extravagantly, which is reflected in the fact that she has many beautiful singers and dancers in her palace.

Naymar didn't hide it, and didn't mind others talking about it.An official once condemned her behavior and warned the sun god concubine to remain chaste, but she did not respond, and that official disappeared mysteriously soon, and no one dared to question this since then.

In Surinia, the concubine enjoys absolute power. The system established by her ancestors allows her to rule the southern region on behalf of the sun god and her father and brother. This means that as long as Naymar does not go out of her way, no one dares to challenge her authority.

Aleuil was wary of this man, even though they were closely related.

But at least for now, this kind of vigilance is not suitable for showing.

The princess lowered her eyes and said calmly, "I'm not interested in my aunt's private affairs. Compared to this, I care more about your answer."

"You haven't asked me yet, how do I know what to answer?"

"You know, otherwise you wouldn't take the initiative to send someone."

"Maybe I'm looking for you for other things." Concubine Shen said in a low tone, "For example... my aunt is getting older, and she wants to bring a child to accompany me and take over my class like the Concubine Shen of the previous generation."

Hearing such a young and charming woman say that she is old will always give people a sense of disobedience, but Rhodes will not ignore the danger behind it.

A person who hates the sun to such an extent that she doesn't want to see guests on a sunny day, will she really be willing to continue sitting in the seat of the Sun God Concubine?

The answer was no, and it wasn't until this time that Rhodes really understood the meaning of Naymar's complex gaze. She looked at the princess, not as if she was looking at a blood relative, but at a substitute who could free herself.

The worst happened.

Ailuil looked indifferent: "Auntie is joking, I will hold a coming-of-age ceremony in a few months, I'm afraid it doesn't meet your requirements."

"But in the whole of Solancia, you are the only one who is qualified to replace me." Concubine Shen suddenly stood up from the bench, her speech speed increased, and her hoarse voice showed a strange sternness when it raised the pitch, "I What good is it if I offer to help you knowing what you are here for? Are you seeking the support of a miserable woman who will never leave Surinya for life?"

At this time, apart from the concubine and the two silent maids, there was only Ailuil and his party in the huge reception room, and the officials who had brought them had already retreated.

Before they arrived, the concubine Shen was ready for a secret conversation.

Aleuil was not startled by the sudden interrogation, and calmly said: "I really need your support."

"But I don't want to give it. If it wasn't for the frontier army behind you, you would have been detained on the first day you came to Surinia." Concubine Shen sneered slightly.

The hysterical Naymar is closer to the resentful spirit than the quiet and secluded one when he is reticent.

Eleuil was not afraid at all.

"With such an attitude, there is no need for us to continue talking." The princess pointedly said, "I am not asking for your help. In fact, I am here for the cooperation that is beneficial to both parties."

"Cooperation?"

"Yes."

Ailuil's tone was convincing, but the concubine laughed hoarsely again: "I don't need to get the so-called benefits, leaving here is what I want."

The princess did not reply immediately.

The concubine Shen tilted her head, her dark amber eyes widened, and she looked more like a ghost at night: "Before you came to find me, did you ever think you would face such a situation? I won't do anything to keep you here, but If you want to cooperate, don’t you think too much of me.”

"If so, I can help you leave."

"Why, finally figured it out, are you willing to stay here and take over from me?"

"You're thinking too much," Aleuil said indifferently, "I will never become the concubine of the Sun God."

Concubine Shen felt disappointed: "Then what do you want to do, it's useless to give me a girl, it's better to count on Horst."

The princess said in a deep voice: "Haven't you ever thought that Surinia no longer needs a concubine?"

Neymar was taken aback.

"You want to abolish the imperial concubine system..."

"If you are willing to cooperate with me, this will be my reward. At that time, it doesn't matter if you love being a princess, a city lord or want to leave everything behind."

For a moment, there was not a single noise in the hall, and the conversation of the only direct bloodline of the royal family left in the world made everyone except Rhodes unconsciously hold their breath.

Concubine Shen stayed where she was, her eyes rolled slightly.

"Why should I trust you?" After a long time, Neymar asked, "This is not the first time I've heard such words, Aleuil, your father also promised me that he would take me back and let the so-called concubine A relic of history, he will never let me stay in Surinia for the rest of my life - because he is my brother."

"But you've seen the truth. He stopped his beloved daughter from letting you follow in my footsteps. What else did he do? Now that he's dead, I'm still here!"

Reminiscing about the past cast shadows on Concubine Shen's pale face, her voice seemed hoarse than when they first met, and she suddenly coughed.

The waitress at the side immediately brought the medicinal soup with a strong smell of mint and herbs, while the other waitress took the small spoon and carefully fed the medicine to the concubine.

Did the king ever say that?

In Aleuil's memory, he only remembered that his father mentioned that he was reluctant to send his daughter to the city of the sun god, but he couldn't remember exactly what kind of expression he had when he said this.

"Father once mentioned you, aunt."

Concubine Shen's attitude was cold and firm: "It's useless to play the emotional card with me."

"I don't want to rely on the so-called family relationship to reach a cooperation. We have never met, and we can't act like a family who love each other." Aleuil sighed, "It's just that since you mentioned the father, there must be something You know."

"...you tell me."

Aleuil stepped forward calmly, and said something in a low voice in the guarded eyes of the two maids.

Concubine Shen froze, her pupils constricted suddenly, and she said after a while: "What you said is true?"

"I'm just telling what I know. Believe it or not." The princess backed away and nodded politely, "It's getting late, and we should leave. That's basically what I want to say today. Repeat your past alone, or let the concubine end up in this generation, the choice is only in your hands."

"Goodbye, aunt."

Several people walked out of the hall, the concubine Shen didn't say anything, she just watched them leave silently, and the gauze curtain was lowered again.

The official has been guarding outside. Seeing a group of people coming out, he hastened to meet them, craned his neck and looked worriedly into the hall, and then looked back: "I'll take some of you back."

Aleuil: "Don't bother, you go and see your aunt first."

"Then I'm sorry."

The official didn't insist, bowed deeply, and went straight to the reception hall.

On the way back, only Rhodes and Eleuil shared the same carriage.

Rodas could feel that the tense spirit of the princess relaxed the moment she got into the car, she turned around and threw herself on the lap of the god, facing down and said in a muffled voice: "I'm so tired, but there should be nothing on Neymar's side. Problem."

Rhodes thought about sending a messenger back to ask the sun god himself, while combing Eleuil's long hair scattered on both sides with his fingertips familiarly.

"Go back and take a bath and rest, it's really late today."

"Yeah." Eleuil stretched his waist in the posture of lying on the knee of the god, and suddenly remembered that this action must look very immature, and immediately sat up straight as if nothing happened, only leaning on Rhodes' shoulder, Close your eyes and press your temples.

There is no curfew in Surinia City, but there are no people on the road at night, and the group arrived at the temporary residence not long after.

The cavalrymen of the personal guards saluted and went back to their rooms, only Mortis stopped where he was, with a tangled expression.

Eleuil: "What's wrong?"

Mortis: "One thing, I only remembered it when Her Highness Concubine Shen was there. It was about the time that His Highness left Acht, and it may not be of much help to us now..."

He made random noises when he shouldn't be speaking, and he hesitated when it was time for him to speak. The princess's hand silently supported the longbow behind her, and the captain of the personal guards began to speak faster.

"At that time, Her Royal Highness was about the same age as you were when you were sent to Kadela. Surinia came to Wangcheng to ask for a new princess, and the father of the previous king—that is, the father of the princess agreed."

"But I heard that the concubine Shen was very unhappy. She seemed to have had a conflict with the late king's father. She was punished and locked up in the sun without eating or drinking. She was locked up for two days or three days. She almost had an accident and was sent away in the end."

Motis looked away, and said uncomfortably: "I only remembered when Her Highness the Concubine Shen spoke. Her voice was probably hoarse at that time."

The author has something to say:

Good night everyone, Bixin.

By the way, there is no vice cp in this article. Of course, as long as the goddess and the princess are not dismantled, other divergent thinking will be fine.
