dust song

After Shao Lin returned to the palace courtyard, not only did he find that the maid who was waiting outside had disappeared, but also the palace was still lit for some reason. He couldn't help but asked the guards beside him suspiciously, "Why are there so many people in the room?" The candles are on? Where is the night watch maid, why is it missing? How do you all serve?"

"Brother Lin, the lord overheard the maids' chatter, and sent them directly to the service room." The guard turned and bowed slightly to Shao Lin, "and the lord just took a rest in the wing room."

Shao Lin turned his head and glanced at the dimly lit wing room, and was speechless for a while.He didn't even deserve to carry the shoes that he agreed to, so why did he make another move in the blink of an eye?

Shao Lin shook his head helplessly, pointed to one of the guards beside him, and said, "Hurry up and go to Steward Wang, and ask him to call two more maids to guard here."

"Yes, my subordinates will go now."

As dawn approached the next day, Murong Chengdu felt the person in his arms move slightly, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his alert black eyes met Chu Lichen who was still sleeping soundly.

The quilt was swept away by the people around him, and the instigator seemed to be still in a dream. Murong Chengdu saw that he was frowning and his mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to say something, so he approached Chu Lichen's lips with a cold face, Then I heard the person in my arms murmuring mistyly, "Well...don't steal my money..."

Only then did Murong Chengdu's expression soften a little, he snorted, and suddenly pulled out the arm that was under Chu Lichen's neck, Chu Lichen just turned over slightly after feeling the movement around him, still sleeping soundly.

The sternness in Murong Chengdu's eyes was faintly visible, he raised his hand and pulled off the peach wood hairpin on Chu Lichen's head, played with it thoughtfully for a while, then threw it back to the pillow, and immediately rushed He ordered in a deep voice outside the door: "Come here, change clothes."

When the maids heard the sound, they pushed the door one after another with court clothes and washing utensils in their hands. They first took a sneak look at the room, and saw Murong Chengdu sitting on the edge of the bed in good clothes. I dare not stop for a moment.

When Murong Chengdu was dressed in court clothes and golden crown under the attendant of the maids and was about to go out, Chu Lichen faintly woke up, his sleepy eyes only had the haze of being woken up, and although Murong Chengdu knew that Chu Lichen had woken up But without even looking at him, he led the crowd away without looking back.

"My lord." Shao Lin was waiting in the courtyard at the moment.

Murong Cheng's expression was exhausted, as if he didn't sleep well last night, "Did he choose the mahogany hairpin from the side room?"

Shao Lin chewed Murong Chengdu's words several times before he understood that he was talking about Chu Lichen, "The little beggar indeed chose it himself, and he also said that he would send it back after he left."

Just choose a blunt wood that can't kill people?Obviously I gave Chu Lichen the chance to kill him last night, could it be that Chu Lichen is really just a beggar?

"From now on, you don't have to stare at him personally." The low tone indicated that danger was approaching, Murong Chengdu's black pupils were like unfathomable black holes, exuding an aura that made people tremble, "Go to the secret door and find someone who is smarter. "

Shao Lin has been with Murong Chengdu for so many years, but he was still shocked by Murong Chengdu's eyes just now, he scratched his ear temples inexplicably, thinking when did he offend the prince again?

It was a long time after Murong Chengdu left that Chu Lichen got up from the bed. At this moment, an old nanny and a little maid walked in slowly from the door. It was as if someone owed her 800 taels, but the little maid had tender skin and looked only twenty-eight years old, with big dark eyes and an obedient face.

"My old lady is Li Momo, and was ordered by the lord to teach Master Chu how to behave in the Regent's Palace. This girl is called Xiangyue, and she will take care of Master Chu's daily life in the future." Li Momo said sternly, There is no superfluous word between the lines.

"No need, I don't really need a maid." Chu Lichen had always thought that he was coming to the palace to be a servant, but suddenly he was paired with a maid, and he really looked like a male favourite.

Nanny Li interrupted in a tone that could not be refused: "This is a gift from the prince, Mr. Chu only needs to thank you."

Before Chu Lichen could reply, Nanny Li said on her own, "Your Majesty, please recognize your identity when you enter the palace. Those are all the people in front of the prince. Although the young master used to be the young master of the Chu family, but now that the Chu family has fallen, the young master is now just a beggar in the capital in the eyes of everyone, so the old man advises the young master to speak and act in the future It's better to know some rules, so as not to make the prince unhappy one day, and end up in an unsafe end."

Nanny Li's words sounded like well-intentioned advice on the surface, but in fact they were humiliating Chu Lichen, which he could understand even if he was ignorant of the world.

There was no need for the old mama to remind him, Chu Lichen never forgot that he was just a beggar. With a dejected expression, he nodded slightly, "Understood, thank you for letting me know."

Nanny Li nodded and waved her hands behind her, Xiangyue immediately handed over a tray to Chu Lichen, "This is the Young Master's contract of sale, please ask the Young Master to put your fingerprints on it first."

Chu Lichen took the pen from Xiangyue and hesitated for a while. Anyway, he will eat and drink in the palace in the future, and now there is nothing to worry about, so Chu Lichen finally wrote on the deed of sale profusely. After writing his own name, he drew the pen with a good momentum, but the handwriting was a bit unsightly.

Nanny Li stared at Chu Lichen for a moment, her tone did not fluctuate: "Then after I ask you to wash and change your clothes, I will walk back to the palace with the old man, so that you can know which places in this mansion you can go and which places you can't." go."

Chu Lichen shivered, thinking that Nanny Li's temperament might be difficult to get along with, then he rubbed his hungry stomach with his mouth, and sighed in his heart, this is going to be eaten before breakfast. Began to be tossed.

It was late autumn, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was breezy, coupled with the unique courtyard layout of the Prince Regent's Mansion, it was really pleasant.

Nanny Li straightened her body and walked slowly in front of Chu Lichen. Seeing that she had already walked more than half of the palace, she didn't feel tired, and she still looked calm: "Young master is temporarily staying in the wing of the palace. The food is sent by Xiangyue, the main hall where the meal is..."

"I know the main hall, I've been there." As soon as the words finished, Xiangyue secretly laughed secretly from behind.

Nanny Li cast a sideways glance at Chu Lichen who suddenly interrupted, "This courtyard is the Xiyuan where the young masters live, and the concubines live in the courtyard to the east. There are differences between men and women, young masters, please remember not to set foot in Dongyuan casually."

Chu Lichen nodded casually.

"After the old man finished speaking, the young master will reply. Is it possible that the young master will be so rude in front of the prince in the future?"

Chu Lichen seriously recalled that he either nodded or shook his head in front of Murong Chengdu before, and he didn't say anything about him.

Nanny Li stared shrewdly at Chu Lichen for a while, then snorted coldly and said, "My lord didn't blame you before, it's my lord's kindness, you must not be rude in the future."

"Understood." Chu Lichen replied reluctantly, and sneered, what part of Murong Chengdu's body looks benevolent?

Then, just as the three of them were about to turn around and leave Xiyuan, several slim men suddenly appeared not far away. The leader was a young man dressed in brocade clothes, with a handsome and beautiful face, walking towards here leisurely surrounded by people around.

"I've seen Mr. Siwen before." Chu Lichen couldn't help being surprised, there were so many people standing in front of Nanny Li, but she was the only one who saluted Mr. Siwen?

"Nurse Li is being polite." Siwen can do whatever he wants with his most favored favor, but he is humble and polite to everyone, so he is quite popular in the palace.

Siwen's long and narrow beautiful eyes lingered on Chu Lichen's face for a while, then showed his face and smiled at Li Nanny: "This is the young master Chu brought back by the prince the other day, I heard that he is still a baby, Li Nanny Is Mammy going to send him to 'that place' next?"

Sensing the guard in Nanny Li's eyes, Siwen smiled innocently, "Don't think too much, Nanny Li, Siwen just asked casually."

Nanny Li's eyes were slightly shaken, but she still replied with a blank expression: "The prince has never ordered."

Chu Lichen noticed that when Siwen said "that place", the expressions of the other people did not change. It seemed that only he and Nanny Li knew what "that place" was.

The smile on Siwen's face was deeper when he heard the words, but there was a little chill in his eyes, "Mother Li, you are also an old man in the house, you should know better than Siwen what the prince's temperament is, and there is no harm in thinking of the prince in everything, isn't it?" ?”

Chu Lichen stood there blankly, the two of them spoke in a mysterious way, he had never seen such a scene before, so he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Thank you, Mr. Siwen, for your reminder. I still have to take Mr. Chu to the next place, so I will go first." Nanny Li bowed and bowed before taking Chu Lichen away.

Siwen nodded lightly, "Mother Li, go slowly."

Without knowing it, Chu Lichen followed Nanny Li and left, but just as he passed by Siwen, the latter showed him a triumphant smile. Chu Lichen thought it was a friendly smile, so he also Naively returned a light smile.

Sure enough, Siwen burst out laughing, and when Mammy Li heard the voice behind, she frowned and urged, "Young Master Chu, please follow me closely."

"Understood, here we come."

After the three of them came out of Xiyuan, Nanny Li didn't say a word. After turning around and walking through the two long corridors, she led Chu Lichen to the last courtyard of the palace. The difference is that this place is eerie and there are no guards on duty. Set your mind to listen carefully, and you can also feel the faint crying sound coming from inside, sometimes crazy, sometimes shrill.

Chu Lichen instinctively felt scared, "Mother Li, what exactly is this place..."

Seeing that Nanny Li turned her back to him and didn't answer, Chu Lichen quietly turned her head to look at Xiangyue, and found that Xiangyue also lowered her head and remained silent.

An ominous premonition arose spontaneously, and Chu Lichen hurriedly stepped back a few steps, wanting to turn around and run away. Suddenly, a square handkerchief tightly covered his face, and a strange fragrance penetrated into his nose and nose, and Chu Lichen felt his eyelids It became heavier and heavier, and even the surrounding scenery began to sink into darkness, and finally gradually lost consciousness.
