How to wear a goddess statue

Different from the grand and magnificent architectural style in the north-central part of Solancia, the main hall of the palace is like a delicate and beautiful work of art.

The dome, walls, and floor are all made of white marble, and there are almost no traces of splicing, as if the palace was carved out of a single huge piece of white stone.

The main hall was built by the order of a Solan king several generations ago. His queen came from the south and was depressed and sleepless because she was far away from her homeland.

In order to let the queen sleep at ease, the king built a southern-style palace in the royal city and several palaces. This bedroom is one of them, and it is still as white as new today.

The overall size of the palace is small, with only two rooms. You can’t see anything from the outside, but when you walk into the room, you will find that there is a small door on the wall with a curtain of broken crystals hanging on the wall, allowing the main room and the side room to communicate with each other. .

Rhodes lives in the side room.

The side room is just different from the main room. Those who live here have always been the royal concubines or young heirs. The last time Aleuil stayed here when he went on a tour with his parents.

There is a small bath in the house, hot water has already been put in by the considerate maid, and the white mist is steaming.

The deep scarlet petals that have been dried and preserved are floating on the surface of the water. After soaking in the water for a long time, they regain their fresh and plump appearance, exuding the unique aroma of roses.

In a sense, the goddess of the Yilu River does not need to take a bath, she is synonymous with cleanliness and clarity.

However, Luo Dasi still kept the habit of bathing, closed his eyes in the pool to rest his mind, and waited for the sky outside the window to get dark before getting up and putting on his bathrobe.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw the shadow of the princess standing behind the crystal curtain, but the outline was a bit strange, as if she was holding something in her arms.

"Lotus, can I come over?"

Aleuil symbolically raised his hand and knocked on the curtain.

The crystal beads collided, briefly opening a small blank, revealing the bare and round shoulders of the princess behind the curtain.

Rhodes turned his gaze away, thinking it was Ai Liu and didn't want to wipe his hair, so he nodded: "Okay."

The crystal curtain was pulled aside immediately. Unexpectedly, Eleuil hugged a pillow, her black hair was half-dried, and the ends of her hair were not dripping. She didn't seem to need help.

"The main room is too empty, I don't want to sleep there." The princess shifted her gaze to the big bed with soft cotton mattress in the side room, her intention was very obvious.

Luo Dasi: "The layout of the main room and the side room is similar." Empty?

Princess: "Okay, let me confess. Actually, I just want to chat with you."

There seems to be nothing wrong with this reason, Luo Dasi nodded, and the princess hugged her pillow and moved into the side room.

"I may have seen the headmaid, she should have been here 11 years ago."

Beside the flickering candle lamp, Eleuil leaned against the head of the bed, recalling thoughtfully.

No matter how good the memory of the princess is, it is impossible to remember everyone she met many years ago. She can remember the old city lord because she was deeply impressed. She can't remember a maid guarding the palace.

but……

"According to the head maid, the old city lord met her before she left, and she was sure that I would come here." Eleuil tapped the bedpost rhythmically with his knuckles, "Looks like I'll find a chance tomorrow Talk to her."

Luo Dasi turned a page of the book: "The current city lord has sent someone to watch over it."

"The concealment ability is too poor to be a concern."

It was not only the princess and the gods who came to follow her, but the headmaid was also aware of it. She seemed to have something to say to Eleuil, but she remained silent in the end, probably because she was concerned about the eyes in the dark.

In a corner of the room, the fire continued to emit golden red flames.

Rhodes' eyes fell on the pages of the book, and Eleuil stopped talking, and leaned over to read with her.

For a while, only the sound of the fire burning could be heard, the snowflakes were still whirling outside, the cold could not invade the house, and the interior was as warm as spring.

Aleuil subconsciously slowed down his breathing.

When she got close, she could smell the scent of Luotus, not only snow tea and water vapor, but also the sweet fragrance like rose.

She instinctively didn't like to smell other scents on the gods, but this rose scent was somewhat similar to the balm she used to use, which made the princess couldn't help thinking about it.

Even so, it still feels a little uncomfortable after smelling it for a long time... Eluil looked in the direction of the bath, and decided to hide all the dried flowers tomorrow.

Rotas lowered his eyes for a long time, finally closed the scroll and put it aside.

For some reason, she always felt a little restless.

It doesn't look like it's a special induction of the gods, it seems like a kind of reminder that is not urgent.

At this moment, Eleuil blew out the candle lamp and got into bed.

She looked at the dancing light of the fire and reflected on the side of Rhodes's face, and said, "I'm a little sleepy... Good night, Rhodes."

Rhodes said good night warmly.

Aleuil only brought pillows with her, and left the quilt in the main room, which meant that they shared a quilt at this time, and the quilts prepared in the palace were very spacious, not to mention two, it was more than enough for three people to cover together.

However, what is reflected in the senses is not the case. Even if there is still a short distance away, the warm presence around him is still very clear.

The sleep of the gods is different from that of human beings, they will not suffer from insomnia, and they can fall into a deep sleep instantly as long as they think about it, but Luodus let himself look at the ceiling without any intention of falling asleep.

Beside her, the princess' breathing gradually became calmer.

Rhodes thought that Eleuil would be as close as before, like a cat instinctively seeking to snuggle, but no.

She quietly raised her eyes to see that the princess was sleeping well, her hands were naturally relaxed on her sides, and she didn't see the gesture of relying on her at all.

Luo Dasi's expectations were fulfilled. After living apart, the princess no longer showed insecure behavior, and she was very used to sleeping alone.

Those who are not used to become Rhodes.

The river goddess let out a silent sigh that she didn't even notice. After thinking for a while, she lifted the quilt very lightly, picked up her pillow, and walked lightly to the main room.

The figure of Rhodes disappeared behind the crystal curtain.

Aleuil didn't open his eyes, but pursed his lips lightly, leaving a slight arc.

She quietly moved to the position beside her, and after a while, the corners of her mouth curled up again.

------

The current city lord is not very smart, and the spies he sent were easy to deal with. The next day, Aleuil easily avoided his eyes and ears, and found a time to meet with the headmaid alone.

The maid's name is Kurda.

She said frankly: "Your Majesty the City Lord has known for a long time that you will come back, so he stored something here, and asked me to deliver it to His Highness in person."

Aleuil looked directly into her eyes: "Thank you very much for waiting until now, but I want to know why the old city lord trusts you so much?"

Important items that must be handed over to the daughter of the former king are not left to the personal servants who are within reach. Instead, they must be entrusted to the head maid of the palace. This is a way to greatly increase the risk of exposure.

"My lord may not trust me very much, but at that time, there was really no trustworthy person around my lord." Kurda smiled wryly.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, even if I sacrifice my life and faith, I will never betray you. If the former king and the city lord hadn't rescued me when they traveled together and placed me here, I would have died long ago without a whole body."

Accepting the grace of saving her life, she had no way to repay her, so she could only swear loyalty in front of the gods she believed in. However, when two people who had favored her left one after another, the only one she could pledge her allegiance to was Aleuil.

——The princess who carries the expectations of His Majesty and the City Lord during his lifetime.

Aleuil nodded, indicating that he no longer had any doubts.

"Back then, after the city lord died of illness," the head waitress continued, emphasizing the pronunciation of the phrase "died of illness", with hatred flashing in her eyes, "There were guards who came to search my room, but those who received the things I hid it that night and they found nothing."

The princess frowned, showing a questioning expression.

The waitress looked out the window.

The tallest tree in the courtyard has already lost all its leaves, leaving only one bare branch.

In the afternoon, an inconspicuous deep hole was dug under the tree, and a wooden box that had been buried heavily in the soil was rediscovered.

"The Lord of the City said that he will leave what he has learned all his life to you. Although he cannot teach it in person, he believes that you now have enough experience to truly understand them."

"—Many things, if you don't experience it, you will never understand it."

The words of the old man are still in my ears.

Eleuil moved the wooden box back to the room alone, opened it, and found that there were books neatly stacked inside, and the smell of wood to prevent moths was very strong.

Pick up a volume at random and open it, every page is full of annotations.

The old city lord who had served as the teacher of the former king was recognized as a wise man and a virtuous minister in Solancia. His books, regardless of whether there were editions circulated outside the world, were all placed in this wooden box.

"Before I thought, when I see His Highness, I will ask you to accept the things of the Lord City Master no matter what, and then call him a teacher."

Kurda said, suddenly shrugged with a smile, and added before Eluil could speak: "But now I have dismissed this idea, Your Highness, I see that you already have a teacher, she is recognized by you Master, is it?"

Eleuil: "Your senses are very keen."

Before she had spoken a few words to Rhodes in front of the maidservant, Kulda had already noticed it—although the direction of thinking was a little bit off from reality.

Kurda said with emotion: "The former king also said so, but I have no confidence in this. Even if I often find signs of things, the direction of guessing will always be wrong."

Eleuil: "..."

She glanced at Rhodes seemingly inadvertently, but the latter didn't notice it.

While Kurda was bewildered, she was sincerely happy: "It's great that I didn't make a mistake this time."

The princess smiled politely and decided not to comment on this.

Throughout the afternoon, Rhodes was sorting out the scrolls with Eleuil.

Perhaps books will never be able to replace the role that a good teacher can play, but after a quick flip through, you will find that the old city lord is serious, comprehensive, and comprehensive. His annotations include many possibilities, which is enough to narrow the gap between books and people. the shortest.

Those scribbled, slightly trembling handwriting may have been sorted out by him at the end of his life.

Why did the old city lord have such expectations for Eleuil, whom he only met once, Rhodes had no way of knowing.

It's just that in comparison, she always feels that her teacher is not worthy of the name...

Before Rhodes could conduct an in-depth analysis on the issue, an invitation letter from the current city lord was delivered to the palace by the officials.

The invitee is not the princess, but the owner of the caravan.

Aleuil scanned the letter at a glance and was amazed.

really not easy.

——After so many cities, the first city lord who really dared to treat the princess as a caravan guard appeared.

The author has something to say:

after a long time.

Kurda: So the direction of this guess is actually off by more than one degree?

------

In the world line without Rhodes, this is also one of the most important gifts that 2612 received. It made up for the lack of qualified teachers in childhood and youth, although it did not come in handy in the end. Orz
