atypical prostitute

Chapter 161

However, after not seeing him for a few days, Ye Wurong's description became more and more haggard.

Although she still looks radiant and heroic in her brocade clothes and jade belt, but it is the tea of ​​autumn, full of coldness and withered helplessness.Li Ci noticed that the charcoal fire in the hall was extremely warm, and the female officials were well-trained, and there were still fine beads of sweat on their foreheads, but Ye Wurong was wrapped in fur, and their foreheads were smooth.

Deep in her eyes, even the taste of death flowed out.

There were no external signs, but he felt death intuitively, and a faint, almost imperceptible smell of corruption permeated the air.

...Like a green bamboo scorched by a raging fire, it is gradually withering.

But even if it was emotional, it was only a brief distraction. Before Ye Wurong noticed her gaze, Li Ci had already bowed and knelt down: "My wife has seen Your Highness."

And Lin Langya behind her, although it is the first time to enter the palace, is observing words and expressions, not daring to take an extra step or say a word, for fear of being laughed at, seeing Li Ci's sleeves move slightly, he hurriedly followed behind and bowed, saying : "My daughter kowtowed to Her Royal Highness the Queen."

"It's all a family, how can there be so much politeness?"

Talking casually, Ye Wurong stood up with the support of the female officer, and slowly walked down the jade steps.When he was about to step down the last step, Li Ci quickly stepped forward, took her withered hand, and naturally sent the ice jade beads on his wrist into Ye Wurong's palm.

In an instant, the originally sallow complexion turned pale, and Ye Wurong's brows relaxed a little. She took a deep breath and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry."

Li Ci said: "This thing is a gift from Princess Anping, Li Ci is nothing more than borrowing flowers to present Buddha."

Ye Wurong smiled noncommittally, stretched out his left hand, stroked the warm ice jade beads on his wrist, and walked straight to Lin Langya.

In terms of appearance alone, Lin Langya is not outstanding, Xinger eyes, oval face, petite and exquisite figure, a little fat, let alone in the harem where beauties gather, even among the beauties in the capital, he is only of average color.But she has a delicate and naive temperament, like a little fairy child who has fallen into the mortal world, which makes people like it when they see it.

Only this cute little hamster-like woman can impress Ye Wurong, and then get Xiao Zhiqian's affection.

Xiao Zhiqian's scheming is too deep, but he has more affection for simple girls with boldness, and since Ye Wurong moved into the central palace, he has been working hard all day long, how could he allow that arrogant and scheming noble girl to come out on top? ?

Lin Langya was pure in body and mind, was born in a concubine, and had an ordinary family background, which just happened to satisfy their preferences.

Being born out of a concubine is not more expensive than being born out of a concubine, not to mention that the Lin family is no longer what it used to be, if Langya fails to enter the palace and be favored, he will be ruined by the family in the future.

Li Ci has never suffered from being a concubine, but after seeing Yu Jing's calculations and stinginess, she also knows that it is really difficult for a concubine to be a woman.It's rare for Lin Langya to be so innocent, and Li Ci actually meant to help her.

Therefore, before entering the palace, Li Ci specially ordered the nanny who used to serve the palace to dress up Langya skillfully, and found some items from the dressing box that matched her delicate temperament to add makeup for her.

really--

"Head up."

Ye Wurong who walked up to Lin Langya spoke arrogantly, squatted down, stretched out his hand, and lifted Lin Langya's chin.

Lin Langya raised his head cautiously, looked at Ye Wurong, immediately lowered his eyes in fright, his eyelashes fluttered, like a frightened small animal.

This panicked gesture was enough to impress any man with a hard heart, but it caught Ye Wurong's eyes, but only got a sneer at the corner of his mouth.She glanced at Li Ci beside her, and said softly, "I have heard that the lady of the Lin family is as gentle as water. When I saw her today, she is really cute and cute."

Lin Langya didn't know how to answer, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Your Highness has praised you, and Langya is ashamed to accept it."

Li Ci also helped and said: "Your Highness is the most easy-going, Fifth Lady don't have to be restrained, just say whatever comes to mind, it doesn't matter."

Lin Langya got up tremblingly and said, "Yes."

Ye Wurong didn't look at her, instead he said to Li Ci: "It snowed heavily in the past few days, and it kept falling. Although enjoying the snow is also fun, but I'm not in good health, so I can only stay indoors. I'm about to get sick. Yes. Fortunately, the snow finally stopped today, would you like to accompany me to stroll in the garden?"

Li Ci glanced at Langya who was still ignorant, and said with a cunning smile, "I heard that there are craftsmen in the imperial garden who make all the flowers bloom in winter. I don't know if it's true or not? I've seen the glazed house in Prince Yan's mansion."

Ye Wurong smiled and said: "It's true, it's a small hot spring pavilion behind the rockery, despite the cold wind outside, the peach blossoms here are still brilliant."

"Is there really such a rare thing?"

Lin Langya spoke in astonishment, forgetting how rude it was to speak so loudly in front of the empress.But Ye Wurong liked her scheming, before the female officer reprimanded her, he smiled and said, "Of course it's true, how about going to see it together?"

"This……"

Lin Langya is not really innocent and ignorant of the world, she knows that today's audience may determine her life, so at the moment when the queen expresses her love, she is always worried and doesn't know what to do.

Li Ci could see her uneasiness.

The female officials were clustered around Ye Wurong, but she deliberately fell down, took Lin Langya's hand, and whispered: "Your Highness has seen countless people, and you can't hide your cautiousness from her. Instead of talking about clumsy flattery to provoke people If you don't think it's better to be honest, it will make her feel that you are different from others."

Lin Lang heard the words, and said in a low voice: "My daughter knows."

……

……

Little Taoyuan is indeed a beauty that even today is full of praise. At first glance, it is just the most common corner of the imperial garden. I didn’t want to go around the winding rockery. I walked about a hundred steps in the damp and dark, and suddenly there was a line in front of me. It was bright, and then the warm air paved the surface, and it suddenly became clear.

Bamboos are woven into railings, enclosing a steaming pool of hot springs, hundreds of peach blossoms are in full bloom, there is a thatched cottage among the green grass, and there are bamboo pavilions built on the water, which is really a rare and happy place in the world.

"Unexpectedly, there are such wonderful things in the palace."

Li Ci said softly, she looked carefully, and found that the flowers and plants planted here were of the most common appearance, but the flowers were much larger and more gorgeous than those outside. , the sleeves slipped gently, and there were colorful fallen flowers, which were too beautiful to behold.

Ye Wurong smiled wryly and said: "The world of mortals is lonely, people's hearts are not ancient, people in the world naturally yearn for a paradise, although the Xiao royal family is rich in the world, it is inevitable."

"Yeah, if you can live a life in a paradise, even gods don't want to do it."

Lin Langya said sincerely, she was born simple and honest, and what she said was innocent eyes, which immediately made Ye Wurong smile, pointing to the hot spring water and saying: "There are colorful stones and peach blossom fish in this water, but only those who are destined can fish them. Yes. Linlang, you are innocent, maybe you have this opportunity."

"Is it really so rare?" Linlang Deli gave the opportunity face-to-face, knowing that to gain a firm foothold in the palace, she must always follow the queen's wishes.Since the queen wanted her to go into the water to catch fish, she herself saw the colorful stone peach blossom fish in the hot spring water, she felt itchy, walked to the edge of the water calmly, tentatively touched the warm water, it was indeed unparalleled, and then took off her shoes and socks , lifted her skirt and walked down.

Li Ci didn't understand why Ye Wurong did this, but seeing Lin Langya walk into the hot spring water according to his words, his footing was unstable and he was on the verge of falling, but he was cute, and he couldn't help laughing for a moment.

"What a sweetie."

Ye Wurong stroked the mahogany tree and said, "He is a simple and kind person."

Li Ci smelled it, and asked, "Your Highness intends to cultivate her?"

Ye Wurong didn't answer, instead, he walked towards the thatched pavilion in the center of the hot spring, and said as he walked, "This small peach garden looks simple, but in fact it cost a lot of money. It was built during Emperor Xuan's lifetime. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he felt deeply that the people's livelihood It was difficult, and I wanted to recuperate. Luxurious things like Taoyuan should have been demolished, but thinking that it was the love of Emperor Xuan during his lifetime, I kept it."

Li Ci didn't know the intention of her sudden diversion, and could only agree: "It must be that Emperor Xuan is trapped in the world's turmoil, and wants to build a place of peace for himself."

Ye Wurong snorted, and said, "Where is Anle? I can't see it. Emperor Xuan is a virtuous emperor, but it's a pity that he is too famous for fame."

Her words were resentful, but Li Ci was not surprised.

Only Ye Ziyun's descendants can criticize Emperor Xuan so boldly and unscrupulously, because Emperor Xuan is worthy of all people in the world, but only Ye Ziyun has endless apologies.

Just watching Lin Lang slowly walk into the hot spring water, Li Ci inevitably felt a little worried, and asked, "After all, it is a relic of Emperor Xuan. If it is damaged, wouldn't it be—"

"It won't be damaged, Lin Lang is a girl with a sense of propriety. What's more—" Ye Wurong paused, and said, "If she can't even handle this point, what use is it for me to keep her? Naive is a good thing, but naive It’s not good to be ignorant.”

"Is innocence a good thing?"

Li Ci murmured, she vaguely guessed Ye Wurong's intentions, Lin Lang is a good talent, her innocence and innocence make her more likely to be favored by the monarch than other candidates, and Even if you are favored, you don't know why you are favored.

"So innocent, so cute, so weak, like someone His Majesty once loved."

"A person His Majesty once liked?"

Li Ci repeated, this inadvertent murmur caused Ye Wurong to turn around suddenly.She looked at her intently, as if she had read something extraordinary in Li Ci's eyes, her eyes were cold and softened after a long time.

Finally, she sighed.

"Your Majesty has always imitated Emperor Xuan. Emperor Xuan's preferences are his preferences, and Emperor Xuan's choice is his choice. However, no matter how much he imitates, he is still him after all, not Emperor Xuan. So he thought he liked me and the Ye family, But I know that it wasn't me who really took his heart away."

Ye Wurong was talking wearily, with the tip of his tongue rising, he said:
"Of course, it's enough for you and me to know these things. As for Lin Langya, she should continue to be innocent and beautiful."

Li Ci noticed that when he said these words, Ye Wurong's eyes were always looking into the distance.

Following her line of sight, Li Ci saw Yu Jia, and couldn't help feeling: "It's so good to be innocent, innocent women are always easy to be happy."

Before she finished speaking, she felt the back of her hand warm up, and lowered her head, it was Ye Wurong's hand that was folded on the back of her hand.

Above her head was the queen's proud and stubborn voice: "You are wrong, innocence is not a gift from heaven, but a curse. If Lin Langya sticks to innocence, sooner or later she will be swallowed up by an incomprehensible darkness. He will be liked by Agan. So—"

"Your Highness means—"

"Everyone lives in peace."

After finishing speaking, Ye Wurong held Li Ci with his backhand, walked out of the pavilion hand in hand with her, faced the front, and bowed to salute: "My concubine sees Your Majesty."

Before the words finished, I heard the exclamation of the female officials who saw Lin Langya accidentally slipped and fell into the water.
