Chapter 8

The sky is already dark, and the moonlight is like water, swaying the earth.

Yong'an Pavilion of King Yan's Mansion is also the residence of Princess Yong'an. Zhu Ningyun was wearing a light pink plain brocade pleated skirt, lying on the window sill, quietly watching the moonlight outside the window.

The young girl is just the beginning of love.

It's a pity that a fire three years ago took away her appearance and sealed her heart with dust.

Since then, she has hardly left Yong'an Pavilion, and even her family members are unwilling to see each other.

There was no mirror in the room, and she didn't want anyone to see her ugly face.

In the first year, she didn't know how she survived. She wanted to commit suicide several times, but she was saved in the end.

No matter what she did, the family never gave up on her.

There is still warmth in this world, and only by being strong can I make my family feel at ease.

With such thoughts in mind, Zhu Ningyun gradually gave up the idea of ​​committing suicide and lived a good life, playing the piano, painting, reading and writing under this high wall every day.

Today's young man named Li Xiao is really eye-catching.

But will she be frightened when she sees my face?
Zhu Ningyun frowned slightly, feeling worried.

The life that was originally as quiet as still water, because after seeing Li Xiao today, there are some turmoil.

"Princess, Li Xiao is really good today."

It was Zhang Cuicui who was speaking, the maid who pretended to be the princess today.

She covered her face with a silk scarf, but nothing could be seen.

Zhang Cuicui entered the mansion at the age of 11 and was the personal maid of Princess Yong'an.

In the fire that year, only Princess Yong'an and the maid narrowly escaped.

Similarly, her appearance was also ruined. Originally, the mansion planned to replace the personal maid so that Zhu Ningyun would not fall in love with the scene.

But at that time, Zhu Ningyun wanted to commit suicide, she didn't want to see anyone, and she had a bad temper, so she scolded all the maids who came to serve her and left.

The same people who have fallen into the sky, escaped together, and only Zhang Cuicui can meet her.

Since then, Zhang Cuicui has become the only maid who serves Princess Yong'an.

Princess Yong'an also treated her as a younger sister.

"Cui Cui, do you think she would be disgusted if she saw my face?"

Zhu Ningyun said worriedly.

In this world, she can only confide in Zhang Cuicui and speak some boudoir secrets.

Zhang Cuicui thought for a while and said: "Princess, that young man saw me today, and there was no disgust in his eyes. Maybe he is really different."

Zhu Ningyun also felt the same, but she still asked unsurely: "Really?"

Her heart is too sensitive, and she is afraid that others will look at her with strange eyes, and those eyes will stab into her heart like a knife.

Originally, she was very resistant and repelled the behavior of publicly recruiting a son-in-law.

I can't bear the family's expectation that she can find her belonging.

Of course, she also had an unrealistic hope in her heart. A girl of this age would be full of fantasies about the future.

"Really Princess, over the years, I can feel other people's eyes, and I don't feel anything strange in that young man's eyes."

Zhang Cuicui replied truthfully, and then joked: "Princess, I am a little envious of you."

It's true, Li Xiao looks handsome, and his wheat-colored skin looks healthy and strong.
Zhu Ningyun covered her mouth and smiled, "If you like it, I'll let you do it."

Zhang Cuicui said: "Then Li Xiao doesn't like me either, what he likes is your talent, princess."

During the day, Zhang Cuicui couldn't answer the question, so Li Xiao turned around and left.

It was mainly because of this move that Princess Yong'an let down his guard.

After Zhang Cuicui finished speaking, she realized that she had said the wrong thing: "Master, you are making fun of your servant again, how dare you."

"Hahaha"

Zhu Ningyun smiled crisply and said: "I was joking with you, but Cui Cui, if you meet a man you like. I will ask my father to give you a marriage."

The relationship between the two is very good, not sisters are better than sisters.

Because of this, Princess Yong'an's mood has recovered very well over the years.

Zhang Cuicui shook her head like a rattle: "Princess, I don't want to marry, I will serve you in this life and be satisfied."

Hearing this, Zhu Ningyun finally came to her senses, Zhang Cuicui was just like herself, her appearance was completely ruined, and it was very difficult to find a good husband.

Thinking of this, she thought of herself again, and sighed: "Looking at today's situation, then Li Xiao has passed Gao Xu's test, and I think Gao Xu is quite caring, and my father may agree."

"Good thing." Zhang Cuicui showed joy: "I think that uncle is very nice today, he doesn't look like a bad guy, he can compose poems with his mouth, he is very talented."

"What uncle, what are you talking about, Cui Cui?"

Zhu Ningyun couldn't help but blushed.

"Ah" Zhang Cuicui hastily changed her words: "By the way, I haven't gotten married yet, won't I be a son-in-law when I get married."

"You girl!" Zhu Ningyun was a little annoyed.

"Princess." Zhang Cuicui restrained her smile and said seriously: "To be honest, the Li Xiao I met during the day is really different from the young master I met before."

Zhang Cuicui spoke the truth.

Over the years, there have been sons who have come to propose marriage in private, some are the children of officials, and some are the children of scholarly families.

In addition to the period of public recruiting, Zhang Cuicui met a lot of people on behalf of Princess Yong'an, and she could more or less see some of their attempts.

Even if they try their best to cover it up, their eyes can't lie. There is contempt hidden deep in their eyes. They regard the princess as a tool for their own climbing.

But Zhang Cuicui saw sincerity in Li Xiao's eyes today.

Sincerity is always nirvana!

"En." Zhu Ningyun nodded slightly, recalling the young man today, and muttered: "The good-looking skin is the same, but the interesting soul is one in a thousand. He is indeed very different."

Zhang Cuicui said: "That's right, princess, take advantage of the opportunity. I see that there is such a poem in the poetry anthology you often read. If you have flowers, you will fold them."

Zhu Ningyun said with a helpless smile: "There are flowers that can be broken straight, don't wait for no flowers to break branches."

"That's right." Zhang Cuicui smiled and said, "That's it."

Zhu Ningyun knew that Cuicui was doing it for her own good, so she nodded and said, "I know. Marriage is a big matter, and what my parents say, I will have full authority to listen to my father's arrangement."

Zhang Cuicui said: "My lord loves you the most, and I will definitely take care of your pulse. Just rest assured, it's late at night, and the princess should rest."

"Ah."

After such a chat, Zhu Ningyun's mood improved a lot.

After washing up and lying on the bed, I was so preoccupied that I tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

"No matter what. You have to take the first step in everything. If I really miss it, it will be considered a marriage. I just ignore him."

The next morning.

Li Xiao got up early in the morning, feeling refreshed.

After taking a shower yesterday, Li Xiao slept soundly on this luxurious big bed, how comfortable it was.

The bed is made of pear blossom wood, the wood smells comfortable and has a hypnotic effect, the bedding is made of silk wrapped in silk, the texture is completely different from my original home.

"It seems that it's not that the life of the ancients was bitter, but that the lives of the poor in ancient times were hard."

Seeing Li Xiao get up, the maid in the room immediately brought the toiletries.

Washing your face is normal, but brushing your teeth is hard to say.

"By the way, the toothbrush seems to be invented by Zhu Youtang, Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty. If I can get married to the princess, maybe I can get it out in advance if conditions permit?"

Li Xiao suddenly thought of this.

After brushing his teeth, he walked out of the house.

The scenery inside the palace is very good, the air is fresh, Li Xiao moved around outside.

Many cleaning servants in the mansion secretly looked over here.

Faced with these strange gazes, Li Xiao didn't care, and was already prepared in his heart.

I have to say that Li Xiao's psychological quality is still good.

Li Xiao slept soundly last night. He didn't know how well he knew Zhu Di, Xu Miaoyun, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu and others, down to the servants, and the entire palace was touched by him.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu, the second son of King Yan, came over, waved his hand and said loudly:

"Brother Li Xiao, are you exercising? Coincidentally, let's go for some exercise together?"
