Chapter 307 Original Appearance
The next day I dressed him up and repeatedly told him to keep a close eye on Fang Fengbei and not let him get close to Xiaoyao, otherwise they would all be in trouble.
He looked confused but nodded and agreed to my request, then went to attend the ceremony.
I was happy to lie in the yard leisurely. The sky of Wushen Mountain was still so beautiful, and the clouds were also beautiful. It was a pity that I had no time to appreciate it before. Now I can appreciate it leisurely and temporarily forget the troubles in my heart.
Maybe it was because we had been on the rush hour flight on the Lili flight and the fear of heights still lingered, or maybe it was because Wushen Mountain was so high that I felt dizzy. I kept looking at it and fell asleep on the recliner.
I don’t know how long I slept, but when I was about to wake up, I felt a dark cloud covering me.
I opened my eyes dazedly and found that it was not dark clouds, but Xiaoyao who was bending over and staring at me with big eyes.
Seeing me wake up, she smiled: "You wake up? Are you tired? Oh, I'm tired too!"
I quickly stood up and tried to salute her, but she stopped me: "I've already told you before, you're my friend, no need to be polite!"
I still insisted on bowing and whispered, "There are many eyes and ears in the palace, and the princess has just returned. I cannot be impolite to you."
She sighed and sat on my recliner: "Ah, you are right. I am used to being a free and unrestrained person outside. I always feel constrained when I return to the palace. But since I have chosen this path to help Brother Xuan, I still need to adapt more."
From what I heard from her, I could tell that she had already decided to become the Queen Consort when she was in Yushan and then come back to help her brother Xuan.
She covered her mouth at this time, rolled her eyes, and whispered: "I let it slip. But it's okay, you are Jing's person, you will know sooner or later."
She trusted him so much that my heart ached for no reason.
She looked at me in shock.
Damn it, I forgot that I share her feelings.
She hadn't felt any heartache during this period, so I had forgotten about it.
She pursed her lips, took out a small exquisite jade box from her bosom, and said to me: "Lanxiang, I have a gift for you."
I took it and opened it. There was a crystal pink flower lying sparkling in the box, emitting a faint glow.
"I have met Jingye, and was surprised to learn that you are Lanxiang. Don't be angry, I feel... there is a big age gap between you two. Generally, the maids chosen for the young masters of aristocratic families should be of similar age so that they look complete. After the ceremony today, Jing came to talk to me and asked me if I had any herbs that could restore her appearance or if Haoling had any genius doctors with superb medical skills. I thought of you immediately. He said that he used to be with you... and then you saved him again, and he wanted to thank you as much as possible, so he asked me. So I prepared this gift." Xiaoyao told the story.
A throbbing sensation rose in my heart, and she also felt it, and smiled at me: "You guessed it? How smart! Yes, it is this, transformed from the Rejuvenating Flower. I asked my father to extract it from my Rejuvenating Flower. You don't have spiritual power, so you can't use its other effects, but it can help the owner preserve his youthful appearance without consuming any spiritual power."
I asked her in a trembling voice: "You, you don't mind...?"
She smiled again: "It's all in the past, isn't it? The one I love is Ye Shiqi, Tu Shanjing is just his past identity. Besides, who doesn't have a past when born in a noble family? Who can always do whatever they want? So it's important to seize the present moment."
She took the flower out of the box and it spun in the air in her hand.
"You saved me and Jing, so consider this as our thank you gift." After saying that, she moved her hand, and the flower flew straight towards my face.
I couldn't dodge it and it went into my forehead, but it didn't hurt at all and I didn't feel any strange sensation in my body.
She pulled me over to look at me carefully, clapping her hands and smiling, "I knew that Jing Ye is beautiful, and Lan Xiang is also beautiful!"
I raised my hand and touched my face. The nasolabial folds were gone, and the wrinkles at the corners of my eyes were gone.
Although the white hair on his head is not yet visible, it is probably gone now.
"Who is my daughter praising for being pretty?" A clear voice came from outside the door.
I saw King Haoling followed by Tushan Jing, Xuan and Rushou, walking in from the courtyard gate.
"Father!" Xiaoyao ran towards him with a smile, "I'm talking to Lanxiang, the Lanxiang I mentioned to you."
King Hao Ling looked at me with his sparkling eyes. I bowed my head and said, "Your servant Lan Xiang pays respect to King Hao Ling."
"Are you Tushan Jing's maid?" King Hao Ling asked me.
"Your Majesty, Lanxiang used to be a maid, but later due to some reasons, she is no longer a maid." Tu Shanjing stepped forward and bowed.
"Oh? Is she still following you?" King Hao Ling glanced at Tu Shan Jing with his gleaming eyes.
Tu Shanjing didn't say anything, just looked up at him.
For a moment, I felt that the atmosphere was a little bad.
The next moment, King Hao Ling spoke: "Come here, invite Miss Lan Xiang to stay at Tongque Pavilion."
"His Majesty!"
"Father!"
"Master!"
Tushan Jing, Xiaoyao, and Xuan all called out to him, leaving Rushou alone, hesitating and silent.
King Hao Ling looked around and said, "Why? She and my daughter are connected by the same fate, and she has no spiritual power. Shouldn't I protect her well for my daughter's sake?"
On the surface it’s protection, but in secret... I’m afraid it’s house arrest.
"Your Highness! Lanxiang has always been on good terms with Xiaoyao and will not harm her! Please be careful!" Tu Shanjing urged hurriedly.
King Hao Ling looked at him with a half-smile: "She didn't harm Xiao Yao, I'm afraid someone else would harm her to harm Xiao Yao. Besides, you are no longer her master, why should you plead for her?"
Tu Shanjing frowned deeply: "She has been kind to me and has... feelings for me. I hope Your Highness will show some mercy!"
King Haoling looked at Xiaoyao and said, "Is this the little fox from your Tushan family?"
Xiao Yao shook her head and replied, "Father, he told me everything. Now Lanxiang is indeed his friend, and also my friend. Isn't it inconsiderate of Father to do this?"
King Hao Ling stared at her and said, "I have already lost your mother, and lost you for nearly a hundred years. Now I have found you again. No amount of consideration is enough, and no amount of precautions are enough." After saying that, he looked at Xuan and asked, "Xuan, don't you agree?"
Xuanxuan pondered for a moment, and also bowed and said, "Master, your worry is certainly justified. Although Lanxiang is not of high status, she is smart and has made many friends. She is still useful. I have also received inspiration and favor from her before. Please be patient, Master. I will always come up with other solutions."
King Hao Ling waved his sleeves and said, "I have made up my mind, please stop trying to persuade me!"
The emperor's order was difficult to disobey, so I could only be politely but firmly invited by Rushu who was beside him.
I looked back and saw Tu Shanjing looking at me with a frown, and Xiao Yao was beside him, tugging at his sleeve.
He looked very worried.
Xuan watched me leave quietly. I wonder what kind of emotions were hidden beneath his seemingly calm eyes.
I turned a corner and followed Rushou to Tongque Pavilion in the side courtyard.
It's a bit funny. After going around in circles, I'm trapped in Wushen Mountain again. If I had known that I could ask those fortune tellers on the roadside to tell me if I have any conflicts with this place.
