Today is the day Xiao Yue enters the palace. He sent someone to inquire about the residence of the beautiful lady.
She mainly takes care of the magnolia flowers on weekdays. As a palace maid, her residence is naturally close to her job.
He had come twice before and had never seen her.
If they didn't meet in person, he was afraid of offending the beauty.
This is the third time.
Unlike the previous two times when he got nothing, this time he finally saw the person he wanted to see.
Dressed in pink, she was so beautiful in every frown and smile that even the beautiful white magnolia flowers around her served as a backdrop to her.
Just like the brilliant smile that entered his heart when they first met...
I wonder if this graceful figure is the beauty or the charming magnolia...
Xiao Yue couldn't help but step forward. Facing the beautiful scenery and the beautiful woman, he couldn't help but murmur:
"Graceful newly made-up makes jade shine, and thousands of white maidens form a circle around the snow."
Fei Wan turned around and what came into view was Xiao Yue's handsome face.
Fei Wan's eyes showed a bit of surprise: "It's you...?"
Xiao Yue took in her reaction. He stroked the folding fan in his hand and smiled at her: "We meet again. Do you know what this poem is about?"
Before Fei Wan could say anything, the system excitedly shouted in his ear: "Host, according to the information, Xiao Yue likes talented people. Tell him you know the answer."
Fei Wan lowered her eyes. The system chirped so rarely that she felt a little uncomfortable. She frowned slightly and covered her ears.
"Don't make noise."
The system is silent.
Xiao Yue, who was standing by, saw the disgust in Fei Wan's eyes, and his smile froze, and he felt a little depressed in his heart.
Could it be that I didn’t leave a good impression on this girl that day?
Fei Wan knew that Xiao Yue had misunderstood, but Fei Wan did not explain, nor did he try to please him deliberately.
She raised her hand to pluck some withered flowers from the magnolia branch and said lightly, "I don't understand poetry."
The person in front of him became increasingly indifferent, but Xiao Yue was not angry at all. Instead, he became somewhat interested.
He found out that although she came from the common people, she came from a family of scholars. Even if her family fell into poverty one day, with her talent and knowledge, she would definitely be familiar with this kind of poetry.
She deliberately didn't want to answer him.
Maybe I was too offensive last time.
Xiao Yue smiled and said, "What happened last time..."
Sure enough, when he mentioned this, the girl in front of him frowned slightly.
Xiao Yue was more certain of his suspicions, and he continued, "I'm being abrupt. I just wanted to get to know you."
"You like this magnolia very much, right? I like it very much too."
After a pause, she threw the withered magnolia petals away. Although her attitude had softened a lot, it still contained a hint of questioning in her tone.
"Who are you?"
Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment, then changed his tone and said, "I am the guard of the King of Yue... His Highness."
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he usually dressed in a low-key manner. Although his clothes were made of high-quality materials, he never had ostentatious patterns on his clothes when he entered the palace.
If someone was often in the palace, he would definitely be able to recognize him, but Xiao Yue knew the woman in front of him very well. She had only been in the palace for a short time and was not familiar with the rules. How could she know his true identity?
"Guards?"
Fei Wan murmured softly, as if he was half-believing and half-doubting.
As if his identity was confirmed, Fei Wan relaxed.
"In that case, there's nothing wrong with that."
The girl lowered her eyes: "As long as it's not those powerful people."
Seeing the girl's pitiful look, Xiao Yue's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help asking, "Why?"
"I spend the whole day here tending to the flowers and plants, and I don't feel comfortable."
Fei Wan looked at Yulan, a mocking smile on his lips: "When I see those powerful people, I always have to kowtow and beg for mercy. It's not comfortable. This palace is a..."
Fei Wan paused, as if he felt that it was not enough to reveal so much to an outsider.
But even if she didn't finish, Xiao Yue understood what she meant.
Magnolia is noble and loyal, and so is she, a woman as beautiful as magnolia.
She was not greedy for wealth and glory. To her, this palace was a huge cage.
This reminded Xiao Yue of his mother, whose favorite flower was also magnolia.
Without someone she loved, my mother was never happy in the palace.
Isn't this also a cage?
Xiao Yue felt even more distressed, but also had a hint of anticipation.
It turns out that she dislikes the palace so much, so she must be willing if he takes her away from the palace in the future, right?
"I think so too. Everything outside the palace is much more interesting than here. Do you want to go outside the palace and take a look?"
Hearing this, the girl looked at him happily and asked, "Do you know a way out?"
Xiao Yue laughed heartily and said, "Of course. His Royal Highness the Prince of Yue is deeply trusted by His Majesty, and I am close to him. Moreover, with my martial arts skills, it won't be difficult for me to lead people out of this palace."
Fei Wan curved her eyes, looking a little pleased: "Then I'll be your friend. What's your name?"
"I..." Xiao Yue paused, then smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Yue specially granted me the same name as him. My name is Lin Yue."
Fei Wan's face didn't show any doubt, instead his eyes were full of smiles.
"Lin Yue, you can just call me Nan Wan."
The two exchanged names, even though they both knew the difference.
Xiao Yue did not blame her for not telling her real name. When he heard the "Wan" in her name, his heart ached.
He learned from Xiao Heng that Xiao Heng had no romantic feelings for the palace maid, and that he kept her in the palace simply because he saw that she resembled his queen and felt they were destined to be together.
This time, Xiao Heng must have asked her to change her name so that she would be similar to his queen, so she did not reveal her real name in front of ordinary people.
