Outside the window, a branch of apricot blossom stretched diagonally into the house. The petals were white and transparent, and the stamens were like rouge. A gust of wind blew and fell on the table in front of the window like snowflakes.
Xixian casually picked up a piece and put it in the palm of her hand, and couldn't help but chant, "Even if it is blown into snow by the spring wind, it is better than being crushed into dust by Nanmo."
"Why is my sister so sentimental in the house again? Forget it rained a few days ago, the weather is so good these days, why don't you go out for a walk?" Xuechun walked in from the outside and saw her sitting in front of the window talking to herself.
language.
"The yard is not the same as the house, it's just that there are more flowers and plants." Xidian was lying on the table counting petals, looking very lethargic.
Seeing her look like this, Xuechun pulled her to the dressing table and said, "How many days have it been? We can't stay in the house like this anymore, or we'll get sick. Let's go out and relax now."
As she spoke, Xuechun moved her hands and helped her make a refreshing bun. Finally, she inserted a jade hairpin diagonally into her hair. Xi Qian looked around in the mirror, and even she felt that
I felt a lot refreshed and the depression of several days disappeared.
After walking out of the door that she had not stepped out for several days, Xi Xian looked up and saw that the sky was still as blue and clear as that day, but the flowers in the courtyard had added a lot of colors and bloomed more beautifully.
Wandering among the sweet flowers, Xixiang seemed to have forgotten that just a few days ago, she had vowed never to step out of the room again, but today she casually inserted the flowers into her temples, and from time to time she would kiss Xue Xue.
I also put a few flowers on the spring head.
Unknowingly, I came to the lotus pond again. Unlike that day when it was full of green lotus leaves, today there were scattered lotus-pink buds appearing on the water, which looked even more precious and delicate against the entire green.
I wonder if I can see the beauty of the lotus blooming in this pond? Xi Qian thought in her heart, and a carp jumped out of the water under Leng Buding's feet.
On a whim, she turned to Xuechun and said, "Go find some fish bait. I'll wait for you here."
"Fish bait? Where should I find it?" Xue Chun stood by the pond with a blank look on her face, wondering why she suddenly wanted these things.
"I heard that Miss Xia often feeds fish. If you go and ask for it from the servants, they must have it." Seeing that she was very interested, Xuechun didn't feel like refuting, so he planned to go to the kitchen to have a look first. After all, bait should be considered food.
After Xuechun left, Xiqian squatted by the pool boredly, raising water to the lotus leaves not far away. Whenever it was almost full, the lotus leaves would shake to remove the water, and she simply poured a lot of water on it.
Look at the lotus leaf and watch the water droplets falling into the pond like a string of pearls.
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly a cold voice sounded behind her, and Xi Jinmu was startled and turned around, only to see Xia Zizhao standing by the pool with his hands behind his back, squinting at her, his handsome phoenix eyes revealed bursts of chill, as if he was going to kill her.
People are frozen.
"I??? I'm just bored." Xi Qian swallowed secretly, a little frightened by his momentum.
"The lotus is such a noble thing, how can I allow you to be so blasphemous!" Xia Zizhao said sternly, with a look of disdain on his face.
Although Xiqian didn't like fighting, it didn't mean that he would accept humiliation. The little awe he had just now was instantly defeated by his contempt.
"Where did Mr. Xia say this? I neither picked it off nor trampled on it. I just raised a few handfuls of water. How could it be such a blasphemy?"
Unexpectedly, Xizhi's backlash was so fierce. After changing his gentle and gentle attitude when they first met, Xia Zizhao showed a contemptuous sneer on his lips, "The women in the palace are really not simple. They are so proficient in changing their faces in a day, so hypocritical.
You better not pollute my pond of green lotus."
Xi Zhi was furious when she heard this. From the first day she came to Xia Mansion, Xia Zizhao didn't give her a good look. She was hit by him in disgust without even saying a word.
The list of hypocrisy.
"The lotus is a gentleman among flowers. It is noble because it is pure and white in the humble mud. It is soft and solid in the south. It is restrained in the bottom. A gentleman will not judge the good or bad of things based on his own preferences. Arrogant people like you
Those who are arrogant and underestimate others are truly unworthy of the lotus flower."
Xi Qian happily vented her depression over the past few days, and the depression in her heart also dissipated a lot. She just felt sorry for Xia Zizhao, who was treated as cannon fodder.
He looked at the woman in front of him with great interest, who was not afraid of him at all. Although he had lived with her in the mansion for several days, he had never looked at her directly because he was quite prejudiced against women in the harem.
After careful consideration today, he discovered that Xi Xuan's nobility came from within, unlike the harem women he had seen in the past who only focused on superficial domineering appearance.
"You say I'm not worthy?" Xia Zizhao smiled unhappily, with a hint of slyness flashing in his eyes, "Then I want to hear you tell me who is worthy of this gentleman among flowers."
"Of course, only those with pure hearts are worthy of it." After exhaling her suffocation, Xi Xian lost her previous momentum.
"After careful calculation, today is only the second time that you and I have met. Why do you say that I am not a pure and pure person at heart?" Xia Zizhao shed his previous coldness, and his eyes were obviously more playful.
Seeing that he was deliberately quarreling with her, Xi Qian also cheered up and said, "Based on your indiscriminate words and hurtful words just now, how do you know that all the women in the harem are hypocritical? How many women in the harem have you seen?"
"Only one Wang Baolu is enough. I can't handle any more."
Xiqian finally understood where his prejudice against the women in the palace came from. I am afraid that not many people can resist Wang Baoluo's domineering attitude.
"That's just an exception. Most people are easy to get along with." Xi Qian said this and felt guilty. There were many women in the palace, and there were probably only a few people in Wanyun Palace who were easy to get along with.
That’s all.
Xia Zizhao looked at her with a half-smile but said, "Why do you suddenly lose your confidence? Life in the palace is really difficult, isn't it?"
Just as soon as she regained consciousness, Xi Xian regained her confidence, "Then I don't have to worry about Young Master Xia anymore. Young Master should just take care of his own affairs."
Xia Zizhao raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't quite understand the hidden meaning of her words, he already admired her personality that was neither humble nor overbearing.
At this time, Xuechun happened to be looking for bait. Seeing that the two people who were talking seemed to have the aura of gunpowder, he quickly rushed up and stood in front of Xi Dian and said, "What are you going to do? Don't be rude to my sister."
Xia Zizhao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "The people in the palace are really extraordinary, even a little girl is so powerful."
Seeing that Xuechun's reaction was indeed a bit extreme, Xi Qian gently pulled her to her side and said, "Young Master made me laugh. We have been out for a while and now we have to go back. Please forgive me."
"Young lady, please do as you please." Xia Zizhao said lightly, then turned around and looked into the depths of the lotus pond.
After walking for a while, Xuechun looked back and said flatly, "Isn't it just that she looks better? It's not that great."
"Don't talk about others behind their backs, or be careful to stir up trouble." Xi Qian stopped him sternly.
"Yes!" Xuechun knew that he was talking too much again, so he stopped talking.
