Chapter 118 Love as a Concubine

Ti Zhen didn't expect it to be her, and his eyes shone slightly, "Miss Du!"

Yin Zhu smiled and propped herself up against the window sill through a layer of cloud satin, "Just now I heard Concubine Shu's personal eunuch reporting back to the Queen, saying that the three concubines made mistakes and were imprisoned under the punishment mountain. I don't think you came.

Passed by here, came here specially to take a look."

Ti Zhen approached the window and looked at her. She was wearing a snow-blue gauze dress, with her jet-black hair combed into an inverted bun. Against her snow-white skin, she looked like a piece of steamed pork. "This dress suits you very well today."

Yin Zhu looked soft and calm, stroking her sleeves carefully, "I know you gave this material to me specially, otherwise how could I have received such a good thing."

The satin is a threaded yarn newly produced in the Western Regions this year. It is densely woven with gold and silver threads and sparkles in the sun. I am afraid that even the palace has not seen such a novel thing, but I heard that Miss Du

This encounter made Ti Zhen give away the good stuff that he had never given up, and took advantage of the oil rewarded by the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Turning his eyes to the outside, the courtyard was completely silent. The shadows of the branches falling on the ground were like ink, slowly expanding into Ti Zhen's heart. "Aren't you afraid of being discovered by your family when you ran here privately?"

"There are so many high-ranking officials and noble people today, I don't think they will care about my whereabouts for even a moment."

Yin Zhu looked up nervously, and happened to look at the peeled orange peels on the tribute table. She knew that the people in the room had stolen the tributes, "I'll help you throw away the peels on the table. The nun guarding the door will see it later."

not good."

Ti Zhen was a little shy and quickly picked up the peel from the table and carefully placed it in Yin Zhu's hand.

Yin Zhu smiled gently and said, "If you are greedy, I will go outside to pick Buddha fruits. Eating them will help you to ward off disasters."

Before Ti Zhen could agree, he patted her on the shoulder, stuck out his tongue and sneaked out.

The scenery was just right at this time. Although it was cold in November, the pines, cypresses and bamboos were infinitely green. Yin Zhu stood under the eaves and squinted her eyes and took a breath. The air was full of incense. It smelled a little pungent, but it was

It brings peace of mind to the unknown.

Walking east along the Jiuqu Corridor for a while, I thought about the winter jujube tree I saw there when I came to Futu Temple when I was a child. Now is the season of fruitful harvests!

Yin Zhu took off the handkerchief from her waist, spread it flat in the palm of her hand, and slowly moved her feet deep into the dense forest.

Sure enough, I remembered correctly, the branches of the winter jujube tree were covered with jujubes, which were bright red and very attractive. Even their appearance was twice as thick as when they were young. She smiled happily, after all, she was a girl in her prime.

The cat was very interested in climbing trees to pick fruits. The cat ducked under the tree and stood on tiptoes to reach for the fruit. Before he could pick the fruit, his wrist was cut open by the sharp thorns on the tree.

He took a breath of cold air and looked carefully. The thorns were long and hard. He blamed himself for his poor eyesight. He didn't eat the dates this time, so he was the first to cause trouble.

Just as she was thinking about moving a stone from behind to cushion her, a man came out from behind the rockery. Without making any sound, he tentatively reached out his hand and gently held her wrist.

They were a pair of slender and powerful hands. Yin Zhu's heart skipped a beat, and she turned timidly behind her. The figure in the sun was slanted on the grass in front of her feet, and her tall and handsome figure revealed the slightest illusion of familiarity.

She slowly raised her eyes and saw that the man was holding a purple silk handkerchief to bandage the wound on her hand. She only saw a pair of beautiful red eyes and a straight bridge of nose.

"Mr. Meng..."

Meng Xiancheng looked at her with a smile, but still refused to let go of his hand, "Miss Du, do you want to pick dates? This jujube tree is very thorny, and it will lose its appearance if you are not careful. How about this, you are on the side to take care of me, I

Pick it for you."

He was tall and could catch a handful just by stretching out his arm. Yin Zhu stood aside and held her breath, calming down and thinking about what was wrong.

Although she had only met Mr. Meng a few times, Lan Yin found out the details. He was originally an aide to the former Grand Minister Yuan Zhongguan, but what about now? Yuan Zhongguan is dead, and the Yuan Mansion was confiscated again.

How did Mr. Meng get into the Buddha Temple with the fifth-rank officials in the DPRK as his backers? Is the purpose of going through all the trouble to get in touch with officials in the DPRK, or is it for... "something else"?

When she thought of "something else", she couldn't help but blush, and smacked a faint smile. No amount of restraint could restrain the corners of her lips that spontaneously rose.

The wind blew away the hair around her temples, and the ticklish tickle brushed against her cheeks. She crooked her neck and used her hand to lift it, and happened to catch Meng Xiancheng's gaze. She was startled and became more and more embarrassed.

Yin Zhu said: "When I heard about the Yuan Mansion earlier, I was still worried about Mr. Meng. Now I see that Mr. Meng's face is as old as before, which shows that he is now more considerate."

Where does the magnanimity come from? It's just that everything depends on the world's circumstances and I have to get back on my feet.

Meng Xiancheng smiled against his will, as if reflecting the charm of the distant mountains, "I don't leave my body here, I have my own place to stay. It may be a good thing to be at peace with the situation." As he said this, he turned around and looked at the temple in the distance, paused for a moment and then said, "Today

After a lot of effort, I begged the young prisoner guarding the temple to let me in. It was nothing important, I just thought Miss Du might be there."

He seemed a little depressed, and his eyebrows were raised, "Actually, the time apart is not long, just more than two months, and I started to miss you a little. But now I have nothing. I'm afraid Miss Du will look down on me when she sees me, right?"

Her heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of her throat. Yin Zhu blushed and rubbed her long skirt with her palms. "Shun was born among the parents, Fu Shuo was raised among the building blocks, and Jiao Ge was raised among the fish and salt.

, Guan Yi, I am responsible for the promotion of scholars. The young master just made a mistake for a moment, how can he be despised by others."

Meng Xiancheng smiled coquettishly, "I think girls are like the bright moon, with pure and pure temperaments. The same is true when we first met at Linbo Lake. At that time, I first entered Chang'an and didn't know the warmth and coldness of the world. I accidentally offended the girl, but it was such a distant look that made me

I still think about it."

He looked at her intently with a smile on his face. The handsome young man under the jasper pines and cypresses had a natural charm of his own, and he was already mesmerizing even if he was not allowed to make any gestures.

Yin Zhu looked at his loving eyes and couldn't help but fall into concentration. She vaguely understood in her heart that maybe she should dig out her heart and lungs next!

An inexplicable wind blew, and the ribbon on the bun covered the eyes, blocking the line of sight. They looked at each other like that, until a jackdaw took off, waving its wings and making a clicking sound, which brought people's thoughts back.

Come back.

Meng Xiancheng smiled again, "Now that I am in a humble and shameful position, I may not be a person worth entrusting to the girl, but I still want to ask the girl a question."

"Does the girl have the slightest affection for Meng?" He asked suddenly. He came closer and held Yin Zhu's slender wrist with his fingers under the wide sleeves through the threaded gauze. "Meng has been in love with the girl for a long time. In this life,

If I can have a girl by my side, I will die without regrets. Even though I know I am beyond my ability, I... still want to give it a try."

Although she had thought about it thousands of times in secret, as soon as the other person said it, Yin Zhu liked it but was at a loss. She always felt that this love came too quickly, unexpectedly quickly, and even made her unable to resist.

She pursed her lips, clenched her wrists into fists, her heart was pounding in her chest, and she instantly fell into an endless wave.
