I aith a yawn the next day to discover rance by my pillow, and a small quantity of ashes that see and soothing the nerves
Who put it here?
I looked around, bending over to put onmy clothes overHua’s bedcovers were neatly folded, and he was nowhere to be seen
The sun shone through thelattices as it spilled into the roo desk was eht had also disappeared, as if…
I suddenly realized I had overslept
The doors opened lightly from outside, and Little Li entered with a basin of water, his head lowered I turned around, still looking unpresentable, and scratched my head in perplexity “Do you knohere Lord Hua went so early?”
When the young eunuch saw er pointed at ot out of bed?!”
In the end, he placed his hands in his sleeves, clicking his tongue and s as he circled me two or three ti to treat the e, waking up after your master”

It’s not like I wanted to…when I figure out who used that incense on ood show…
The young eunuch had enough of ridiculingat round Surprised, I backed away, but he only gave a knowing s out a ashcloth fro the floors
So he was here to clean the floors…I thought he was bowing to me
It was a novel sight, so I kneeled next to hi work? How about I help too?”
“Hey, stop…stop that,” he raised his eyebrows, looking around before pausing on my disorderly bedcovers with a dubious smile “I can do it myself, so there’s no need to trouble you Or else, who kno I’ll be punished?” This fellow, he couldn’t be thinking that last night Fang Hua and I…?
Curses, what kind of thoughts did he keep in his head?!
Helplessly, I left the room without a word After the wind blew onI searched and pilfered through the roo myself to the fact that the court ladies and eunuchs hadn’t left me any food
My gloos led me to who-knohere
Beforesplendidly A few delicate beauties as fine as jade stood in their ure A horse with a whiteoccasionally
Eh? Is horse-riding allowed inside the palace?
I usedover a few , robust legs I wondered if they’d taste good if I roasted them Two or three court ladies stood with faces flushed, the peach blosso off their looks to ures and those faces, as well as the gazes full of tender, tiht
“I up today” What a pleasant-sounding flirt
“Iht No matter what you say, you should come over to our place first” This one sounded soft and dainty
Nongyu stood wordlessly s the white horse like a virtuous sage as he gentlyto the e, so I need to leave the palace to handle some affairs”
“Really? That’s so unlucky,” the court ladies lowered their heads and held their handkerchiefs, exchanging glances with each other
“Your masters’ illnesses will be seen to by other iyu seemed not to have noticed, his sentle face
Hmph…
Faker He looked like a well-read scholar of the Confucian classics, but he was really a bad-intentioned weasel Those girls were still young, so they didn’t understand…tsk, tsk
I sighed with emotion and prepared to leave, but he suddenly lifted his face and raised his eyebrows, htful sood!
“I still have soracefully mounted the horse, the black robes and white jade hairpin evoking the i back on the reins, his eyes swept towards me with an expression full of tenderness
I lowered my head and silently walked away
A burst of horse hooves unhurriedly swept by ave a start and bracedhis whip and stalk off, leaving…a big cloud of dust I heaved a sigh of relief Thank goodness he was far off now, I thought he’d try so, always touching this and touching that without my permission
Thenrose froetting louder and closer…? The court ladies nearby also sucked in their breaths
My head turned numb
Suddenly, a pair of hands found theh, and someone’s breath tickled the hair on my temples I blinked, and before I could react, round, into the air…
While I was still badly shaken, a light jacket wrappedmy face ihter of the court ladies
“Stupid Nongyu, what are you playing at?!”
“Shh, I want to take you somewhere before I leave the palace…don’t uards” his finger lightly caressedtowards his temples in a wide smile
His was an exceedingly handsome face that concentrated all his looks in one point The sun shone upon it as he looked down atit hard for me to open my eyes

It was a burab the reins, I was tossed about dizzily, and my empty stomach ached
“Ah, we made it”
Finally…
I practically slid off the horse to fall painfully on rance of flowers hovered nearby I took a deep breath and found myself in the midst of a sea of blossoms
“Do you like it?” Nongyu smiled as he stood by my side
“More than like it, this is si

“Oh, that’s right Soyu pulled out a cloth bundle fro as he looked at me “Open it up and take a look”
I lowered e in e, and the material was also extremely familiar…
“I have to leave the palace for a trip again today, so I’ll be back at night” he said, voice like the sound of floater
What did that have to do with s It’s fine even if you don’t come back for three years Not the least interested in his talk, I sat down and untied the knot of the bundle In turn, golden powder spilled ontoand butterfly hairpin could be seen within Still a bit uncertain, I reached in and found a container of rouge as well
“The eredient to treat it, so I had the idea to look for it around Fang Hua’s house I’ve heard that row there And so…when your yifu heard s to you”
I lowered
Finally…I found so edible My eyes brimmed with tears
Nongyu sat down beside ivein a low tone “Have or haven’t you been listening? What misfortune did I incur to meet a personality like yours…”
