Si 'er hurriedly shook her head." It's not yours, Miss. You only have scars, no wounds. But where did this blood come from? Could it be mine?" As she spoke, Si 'er began to look around again.
Xia Wan frowned. She thought about how Leng Wuzi didn't look as imposing as before. When Si 'er hit him, he seemed to frown in pain.
"If it's not yours, stop looking. It must be that guy's. He should have been beaten up by his master." Xia Wan thought that the person who looked very strong in martial arts would definitely not be easily injured.
"That's good. Serves you right!" As she spoke, Si 'er even used her handkerchief to wipe her hands in disgust, as if she had touched something dirty.
Xia Wan did not stop him. She turned around and continued to look at her neck."Since we can't get out, we can only wait for the Xia family to think of a way from the outside. I don't believe that no one will know that we've been captured and brought into the Imperial Residence.”
Si 'er placed the handkerchief in her hand on the broom in the corner and quickly walked over.""But those people outside have started to call you miss wangfei. I think master might not be able to do anything about it.”
Seeing the marks on her neck disappear under Si 'er's skillful hands, Xia Wan thought for a moment and said,"Since I eat and sleep in the Xia family, I should be able to live like this here.”
"Ah?" Si 'er didn't understand what Xia Wan meant.
"Let's eat here in the Poor King's Mansion.”
Xia Wan had been staying in the Ninth Prince's Mansion for more than a month. During this period, Mo Lingyun had never returned. According to the guards, Mo Lingyun seemed to be staying in the most famous courtesan's house in the capital.
She, on the other hand, was doing very well in the Ninth Prince's Mansion without Mo Lingyun. From the beginning when she did not see eye to eye with the guard, to now when the guard treated Xia Wan with respect as if she was his master, it had only taken less than half a month.
Indeed, using both kindness and power was the truth.
"Miss, are you still going to the study today?”Si 'er asked as she fixed Xia Wan's hair.
Xia Wan didn't say anything. She smiled and took out the book at the top of the drawer. The cover was dark green, but there wasn't a single word on it.
"Miss? You actually stole the book?" Si 'er exclaimed," The two of us were able to get out because I spent a lot of your jewelry to succeed. Besides, what book could you not take? Why did he take the military book? This book was not for a woman to read. If Jiu Wangye found out, it would not be a crime of stealing the book, but a violation of womanly morality.”
" Shh…" Xia Wan frowned." Don't make a fuss. How could it be so serious?" Jiu Wangye had so many books that he couldn't even find them. Besides, I'm not stealing. I'm just borrowing it. I don't want to spend an antique every day just to go to the study.”
"Antiques? Where are the antiques? Aren't they all your jewelry? Are they antiques?"
Waving her hand, Xia Wan signaled her not to continue. She turned her body around and pointed at her black silk."Hurry up and do my hair."
"Alright." Si 'er had a long face as she looked at the book Xia Wan had placed on the dressing table from time to time. At the same time, she skillfully weaved Xia Wan's hair.
"Si 'er's story is not bad, I like it.”Looking at herself in the mirror, Xia Wan couldn't help but praise.
"It's good that Miss likes it!" Si 'er happily helped Xia Wan up and moved a stool to the window for Xia Wan to sit down. Then, he immediately went to the dressing table and held the book in front of Xia Wan with both hands. It was as if he was holding the imperial seal. If he was not careful, his head would fall off.
"Is it that serious? Haha." Xia Wan looked at her sullen expression and could not help but laugh. She took the book and opened it generously, as if to prove that nothing would happen to this book.
Just as he opened the book, a piece of paper slowly fell to the ground.
Xia Wan bent down to pick it up and looked at it repeatedly."What is this?"
Si 'er hurried forward and looked at the paper nervously. Then she said,""It's the best silver-thread satin bamboo paper, and it's even neatly folded.”
He glanced at Si 'er." You only know how to talk.”As she spoke, Xia Wan curiously opened her mouth, but her thoughts suddenly stopped.
There was a painting on the paper. In the painting was a woman with a beautiful smile. The woman's black hair was casually tied up, and a silver hairpin inlaid with red garnets was loosely inserted into it. Her aqua red dress was bright but not vulgar. Instead, it had a temperament that was above the secular world.
Even though the woman was in the painting, her eyes were still flowing with light. The corners of her smiling mouth revealed an amiable feeling. Her misty face was moist like exquisite jade.
"What a beautiful woman." As a woman, Xia Wan did not dare to leave her sight. Xia Wan lowered her head and quietly looked at the painting in her arms. Her full and fair fingers slid across the woman's beautiful face. The almost real touch made Xia Wan think that she was really touching someone's skin for a moment.
It could be seen that the person who made this painting had put in a lot of effort. That person was definitely Mo Lingyun. Mo Lingyun might not be as cruel as he appeared to be.
" Isn't this Concubine Rong?!" Si 'er saw the painting in Xia Wan's hand and could not help but blurt out.
"Concubine Rong?" Could this woman be his…but why was she in this military book? Xia Wan was a little puzzled. She looked at the painting in her hand again and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged into her heart. In the past, as long as a familiar name appeared, the original owner's memory would suddenly pop up. However, the original owner's memory of Concubine Rong was not very deep. There was only a blurry shadow.
"Did Miss forget?" Si 'er looked at Xia Wan's puzzled expression and could not help but ask.
"Ah, that's right. Ever since I was bullied by Jiu Wangye, I feel dizzy and can't remember some things.”Xia Wan lied and pushed all the blame onto Mo Lingyun.
"Humph! His Highness is too ruthless. When we return to the Xia family, I will complain to the Prime Minister. Old Master loves you so much, he will definitely stand up for you.”The simple-minded Si 'er did not notice the guilt that flashed across Xia Wan's face.
"Ahem." Xia Wan coughed twice." This is our main point now.”
"Oh, I almost forgot. Consort Rong is Jiu Wangye's mother, the most beautiful woman in the history of our Ziqiu Kingdom, and the pride of our Mo Dynasty.”
"Consort Rong's original name is Dai Hewen, the only daughter of the country's richest man, Dai Bi Rong. In the summer of the fifty-sixth year of the Mo Dynasty, he met the current emperor under a thousand-year-old banyan tree in a province in the southwest, Liao Po's Gu'an Town. Therefore, when she was given the title of concubine, she was given the title of Concubine Rong.”
"Concubine Rong and Furen have a very good relationship. The two of them often meet and have also made a promise to their children. If they are a boy and a girl, they will become husband and wife. If they are both a boy or a girl, they will become bosom friends.”
"Then my marriage with wangye was arranged a long time ago?”Xia Wan was very curious. Why didn't she know about this, but Si 'er seemed to know it clearly.
"Yes."
"But why have I never heard my mother mention this matter before? Moreover, I seem to have seen your highness before, right?”Xia Wan sounded uncertain.
Nodding her head, Si 'er looked at Xia Wan and slowly said,""This is also what I want to say next.”
