Since the incident with Peace Lightness Hall, Luo Shang had always stayed with Leng Shaoyu, and did not return to his Purple Gold Pavilion for a long time. She did not know how Ah Yu and the others had been these past few days, or whether Nanny Ma and the others had made things difficult for them.
In fact, if she was not using her Purple Gold Pavilion, Nanny Ma and the others might not even intentionally make things difficult for the two girls.
But she was still worried, taking advantage of this situation, she sneaked out of Yue Pavilion.
Yue hated her, hated her. Therefore, when she first got married, she was arranged by the man to stay in that cold and dark abandoned palace, which was commonly known as the Ghost Manor.
On the road to Purple Gold Pavilion, there was a shortcut. In the dense grass on both sides of the cobblestone path, there were occasionally some yellow, pink, plain, and simple flowers. The tall and big willow tree swayed its soft and thin branches, like many singers dancing in an intoxicating manner.
The reflection of the shade was imprinted on the cobblestone floor, bringing with it the tranquility and serenity of the afternoon sun.
Luo Shang pulled back her hair that was dancing wildly by her ears, only to hear someone calling her name.
"Luo Shang? Is that you? "
It was also a woman's name. Her voice was actually very pleasant to hear.
Luo Shang turned around, and saw that not far away, at the side of the pavilion, Princess Chaoyang was standing there looking at her, and that voice must have been her.
Seeing her turn her head, the woman behind the railing stretched out her hand and greeted her in midair. They were too far apart, so it was impossible to clearly see the princess' expression. However, he heard her say, "Come over quickly …"
Luo Shang looked at her. Towards Princess Chaoyang, she had only seen her a few times, and did not have much of an impression of him. However, this princess was rather kind.
Seeing Luo Shang walk over, Leng Yuxin quickly went around the pavilion and down the stairs, passionately holding her hand halfway, she pulled her into the pavilion.
The large pavilion was also so luxurious that the manor could be seen everywhere. In a cool and shady place, the summer heat was more suitable for leisure. It would not lose the interest of watching or the weariness brought about by summer.
"Little guy, don't cry anymore. Look who's here." Leng Yuxin faced the child who was sitting on the stone chair, with both hands on the table, she laughed and said.
"Hey ~" Seeing that the little girl did not raise her head, and did not move, Leng Yuxin shook her head, and walked over, turning her body to pat his shoulder, and continued: "It's your favorite big sister fairy that has come over, if you do not raise your head, she will leave."
The child stomped his feet but did not raise his head. He only mumbled something.
"I don't believe it, you're lying to me again! "I hate big sister …"
Leng Yuxin got up speechlessly, turned around and looked at Luo Shang, and laughed.
Luo Shang naturally understood what she meant and walked over to the child's side and softly said, "What happened to Young Lord? "Who dares to offend you?"
The voice was delicate and gentle, more pleasant to the ears than any other kind of strange melody. It was long and loving.
Hearing that, Young Lord immediately raised his head, looking at the lady in front of him, only to see her lowering her head and looking at him. Her beautiful black eyes were indescribably beautiful, how could they be so beautiful, so beautiful to the heart.
She wore a light colored muslin dress, and her skirt swayed weakly in the wind. However, the hem of her skirt was torn, leaving behind an incomplete part. However, it didn't affect the beauty of a woman's delicate face in the slightest. Her light brows moved in a graceful manner, her eyes containing limpid autumn water and her eyes clear. When she pursed her cherry lips, her exquisite actions couldn't help but cause the child in front of her to blush.
Her almond like eyes were completely red. The pitiful scene caused Luo Shang to be unable to help herself from bending over and touching his head with her delicate hands.
"At such a young age, you've already learned to be shy. Weren't you always arguing about wanting to see elder sister fairy?" Leng Yuxin walked over from the side. She intentionally carried a smile on her face to tease the child, and when she saw the little fellow glaring at her, she could not help but feel amused.
Luo Shang couldn't help but laugh as well. She opened her eyes wide, looked at her child, and asked: "Do you want to tell elder sister fairy why you're crying?"
Hearing her words, the child's face was immediately filled with grievance, she immediately hugged onto Luo Shang's legs, her hands secretly wiping her tears.
He didn't know what had happened that made him feel so wronged.
"Alright, stop crying. A man must be strong ~"
"Brat, let go of your elder sister fairy! Why aren't you letting her sit down and rest?" Leng Yuxin sat down on a stone stool around the table, poured a cup of tea and brought it over to Luo Shang's table.
Hearing her words, the child immediately loosened her grip and turned her face away, as if she didn't want others to see the tears on his face.
Luo Shang smiled and sat down.
"It's still better if I tell the story. In the morning, the wet nurse came to report that the Emperor had ordered for Princess Yue He, the daughter of the South Tomb King, to be betrothed to him during the morning assembly. When the little guy heard this, he was troubled and refused to marry that princess no matter what." Leng Yuxin put down the teacup, and used the silk handkerchief to wipe the tea water around her mouth.
He continued, "You might not know this, but that princess has already lived twenty-two years this year, and Belo is only five years old. There is already a huge gap in their ages, not to mention that the princess of the South Tomb Kingdom is definitely a legal wife. Your Majesty bestowed the right to marry, so it's only natural that we won't be able to escape. "
Leng Yuxin's eyes darkened as well. Back then, she was the same way, because of a thought from the late emperor, she was forcefully sent into the big tent of the Hu people.
He stayed for seven whole years, but her nation, her beloved Wu Zhou, had actually killed her husband with her own hands.
This was the life of their woman, without any resistance.
Furthermore, as for Young Lord wanting to marry a woman who was close to twenty-two years old and feeling wronged, she felt even more sorry for that princess.
By the time Beller grew up and his demeanor turned graceful, the woman was already old and decrepit. Now was the time for men to indulge in love, to take in three wives and four concubines.
Luo Shang's indifferent eyes were filled with sorrow, wasn't she the same way too? If not for the marriage agreement, how would she have been drawn into this hatred.
And how many women from aristocratic families had their lives ruined, not because of a political marriage?
She turned her head with a smile, concealing the sadness in her eyes. Looking at the child, she said, "Since ancient times, there have been clouds. As a member of the royal family, Belo, the blood that flows in your veins is from the Wu Zhou. You should have sacrificed yourself to protect this peaceful and prosperous world for a thousand years.
Leng Yuxin turned to look at the woman sitting opposite him. She was clearly a weak and delicate woman who couldn't resist the wind, yet she had such a vengeful and grand plan. She thought that Luo Shang would comfort Belo and help him write a plan to deal with this trivial matter, but she didn't expect those words from Luo Shang to make him see her in a different light, and it made him feel even more lamented that he wasn't as good as her.
"But …" "But I don't want to marry her. Look, even those who are as old as me haven't married such a big sister." The child turned his head. The tears on his face had dried, leaving only two long scars. He pouted his lips and gripped the table tightly with his fingers.
He didn't want to marry a princess he had never seen before. If that woman was like a celestial sister, then he could accept it. But she wasn't, and that would only make him uncomfortable.
"You have the status of a royal family, which means that you will never be able to enjoy wealth and prosperity in your entire life. If you marry the princess, you can just take care of her and raise her. If the princess doesn't care that she feels wronged, then how can you complain? " Luo Shang looked at him. She actually felt sorry for that princess Yue He, Princess Yue He.
After Young Lord heard Luo Shang's words, he felt that it made sense. He strongly rubbed his eyes, and his squinted eyes formed two crescent moons, as he smiled and nodded at Luo Shang, "Mn, then I'll marry her."
Luo Shang's eyes became long as she said in a somewhat lonely manner, "Even if you accept three wives and four concubines in the future, you must still treat her well."
She was a woman, too, and she knew the pain.
Young Lord was still young, even though she didn't understand the long meaning behind Fairy Sis's words, she could only agree first. If he were to marry a fairy sister, he would definitely be overjoyed, but his brother said that the fairy sister was his.
Seeing the smile on the little child's face again, Leng Yuxin really admired Luo Shang. Not only was she a beautiful woman, she was also an extremely intelligent woman.
Why was it that no one had ever heard that the little sister of the General Luo was actually so talented, so intelligent, so capable of governing a country, so he had such a wild heart?
In the current Wu Zhou, there were only two women who were smarter than men. One was the Jinghe, the Empress Dowager, the other was her sister-in-law's daughter, Nalan Rongya.
Now, it seemed, it would have to be three people.
Leng Yuxin looked at her, and just as she was about to turn back, she saw the bandage around Luo Shang's wrist, it was still red, and she frowned, could it be that it was her brother again?
She did not believe that Luo Shang had desecrated the scriptures. Instead, she firmly believed that Luo Shang had been wrongly accused, so how could these brothers not see that? He was truly blinded by hatred, and could not differentiate right from wrong.
"What happened to your hand? Is it big brother? " Leng Yuxin asked her anxiously.
"No, no. I cut it myself by accident. "
"No matter what, why don't you get someone to bandage you up. Oh yeah, about the last time, Big Bro didn't make things difficult for you again, right?" When Leng Yuxin returned to the Nan Xiang Academy, she had always been concerned about this matter, but because of helplessness, she had been unable to think of a better countermeasure.
Although Leng Shaoyu treated her like his own sister and was very protective of her, he was still a Prince Jin of the current era. There were some things she couldn't say out loud with his status.
"He … "No." Luo Shang's eyes sunk as she replied indifferently.
Difficult? Every day that she lived in the palace, she was tormented by that man, so how could it be difficult for her?
