Chapter 11: Imperial Garden
Shen Tingyu was so scared that he ran out without looking back. His legs ran nimbly, like a fish, and in the blink of an eye he slipped out from somewhere.
When she reached a deserted, secluded place, she stopped and looked around furtively. After making sure that no one was chasing her, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
But she found herself running to a pond without realizing it. The calm surface of the pond at her feet began to ripple, and the koi in the pond floated to the surface, looking at her curiously.
She held her chin with one hand, lowered her eyes to look at the koi in the pond, clicked on the system mall page, and saw that the transformation pill was still in the cooling period, and sighed slightly.
How long will she have to wait?
Dazejpg.
"National Master, why are you here?"
A familiar male voice sounded from behind, and half of a handsome face emerged from the pool. One could tell who it was by looking at the cold eyes.
Shen Tingyu turned her head and saw the tyrant kneeling on one knee, with a pair of slightly open hands placed at her feet, smiling and speaking gently: "Are you bored being alone? Or do you want to stay by my side?"
She was so gentle that she seemed like a different person, without any trace of her previous bad temper. Shen Tingyu's eyes suddenly widened.
The contrast of his appearance was so great that if it weren't for his slightly pale face, she would have begun to wonder if the tyrant had a twin brother or younger brother.
She was held in the tyrant's palms, trembling with fear. This was not the first time she saw the tyrant change his expression.
Shen Tingyu smiled awkwardly and said, "I woke up and didn't see Your Majesty, so I went out for a walk. This fairy has never seen the ordinary scenery of the human world before, and I am very surprised."
"The sun is shining brightly now. I will take the fairy to take a good look at the imperial garden." Xin Hongying said.
In spring, when flowers are in full bloom, the paths of the Imperial Garden are filled with a faint fragrance.
Shen Tingyu was a little absent-minded, feeling like she had discovered the tyrant's secret.
Xin Hongying noticed that she was not in a good mood, the expressions on her face were not as vivid as before, and she looked listless.
He was slightly stunned. Could it be that... the scene made her sad and reminded her of her fallen friend?
When they passed by one of the pavilions, they heard the melodious sound of a piano, as cheerful as a mountain stream, which washed away the restlessness in their hearts. The spring scenery in the garden became more pleasant, and even their pace quickened unconsciously.
Following the sound, you can only hear the sound of the piano but no one is seen. There is only the beautiful back of a woman, as if she wants to attract you to find out what is going on.
Here we come!
Since ancient times, the Imperial Garden has been a popular spot for concubines in the harem. Shen Tingyu perked up, but the tyrant seemed to be oblivious and didn't even glance at the pavilion.
Shen Tingyu felt a little regretful. The tyrant didn't want to see the woman's face, but she wanted to see it!
As he turned the corner, he heard a woman's sweet laughter, and the scent of powder mixed with the fragrance of flowers filled his nose.
Shen Tingyu's expression was stern. Someone else is coming!
Adhering to the principle of eating melons, she climbed up the sleeve and jumped into Xin Hongying's wide sleeves smoothly, hiding inside.
A woman turned a corner and bumped into a hard chest. She looked up in panic, and the delicate handkerchief in her hand fell to the ground in panic. Her red lips were slightly open, as if she was suddenly frightened, or as if she was stunned.
"His Majesty?"
The other women looked at each other and knelt down hurriedly: "Your Majesty."
Without paying attention, Shen Tingyu jumped into his sleeves. Feeling the slight movement in his sleeves, Xin Hongying pushed the woman away and said lightly: "Get out."
The woman on the ground trembled with her shoulders and hurriedly took the dazed woman away.
The imagined competition for favor did not happen, and no good show was seen?
Shen Tingyu was a little disappointed. He grabbed his sleeve, poked his head out, and asked curiously, "Why do they seem to be afraid of you?"
Xin Hongying lowered her head, chuckled, said nothing, and explained nothing.
Shen Tingyu thought of something, but didn't ask anything. He retracted his head, the atmosphere was slightly frozen, and they returned to the palace in silence.
Gao Tang walked in and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have brought the person you requested."
A thin palace maid came out from behind him and said respectfully, "Your Majesty."
She was really thin, so skinny and small that she looked like a child who had not grown up. The clothes of an ordinary palace maid looked a little out of place on her.
But her eyes were bright, the kind of bright that showed a strong character, which made a deep impression on people, and Shen Tingyu had a good first impression of her.
Xin Hongying placed her sleeves on the table, raised them, and said softly, "Come out."
Shen Tingyu walked out of the tyrant's sleeves awkwardly. Worried about scaring her, she waved her hand in a friendly manner and said hello to the palace maid: "Hi~"
The thin palace maid had no expression on her face and was not frightened by her at all.
Xin Hongying said slowly, "She is my secret guard. From today on, she will be responsible for following you and protecting you. You can tell her where you want to go, and she will naturally take you there."
"If you don't want your identity to be exposed, she will naturally cover it up for you."
The little palace maid knelt on the ground and said in a strong voice, "I will definitely protect the Imperial Master."
Someone was protecting her, and her movements in the palace were much more convenient, but there were also many more restrictions. She wanted to refuse, but looking at the serious face of the palace maid, she couldn't say no.
"Get up first. What's your name?"
The little palace maid said, "An Thirteen."
"Let me give you a new name." Shen Tingyu frowned and thought about it, "An Chi, how about it?"
An Chi, who had just stood up, knelt down again with a thud. His voice was cold but unusually firm and powerful: "An Chi thanks the Imperial Master for the name."
During this period, the tyrant was really good to her, so good that she felt it was a little unusual. He not only gave her a palace maid, but also gave her a small palace.
The palace had everything, including beds, quilts, window frames and screens, tables and stools, pens, ink, paper and inkstone. Even the embroidery on the screens was extremely exquisite, a miniature world at the master level, which was perfectly suited to her figure.
There is also a separate room for storing clothes for all four seasons, which is more exquisite and beautiful than her dream house.
Shen Tingyu walked around inside, checking up and down, and asked the system: "Xiao Qi, please help me check. Is there any hidden mechanism in this palace, for example: I can't see it from inside, but I can see it from the outside."
[Okay~ Host! ]
[System scanning..., Scan successful! ]
[Host, Xiao Qi has checked. This palace is tightly closed, with no place that can be snooped into. You can rest assured.]
[As long as the doors and windows are closed, no one outside can see inside.]
After hearing what the system said, Shen Tingyu felt relieved for a moment, mainly because the tyrant had been so good to her during this period, so good that it made her feel a little scared.
