She dreamed of the day she got married. Her wish of many years could finally be realized. Only those who have been in love can understand the feelings of a young girl yearning for love.
Sitting in the bridal chamber, she looked forward to meeting Mo Rongzhan again. She would tell him that she was the Yao Yao of that year. Because she missed meeting him, she missed six years.
He came in. His tall body and cold and indifferent handsome face were no longer the big brother in her memory. He lifted her red veil. There was no surprise or joy in his eyes, only silence, calmness, and disgust.
She pulled his sleeve and wanted to take out the jade pendant to show him, but he waved her hand away. What did he say at that time?
Oh, she remembered.
He said, "The Ye family is already under one person but above ten thousand people. Why do you need a daughter to supervise this prince? Isn't it just a position of princess? Take it, this prince doesn't care."
At that time, although she was hurt by his words, she naively thought that he would change his mind after knowing who she was.
It turned out that she was still too naive.
On the second day of his marriage, he went to war to fight a fierce battle. No one thought he would come back alive, let alone expect him to win the war.
But he still went to the border with five thousand elite troops. He was gone for two years until the death of the former emperor. The Ye family supported the new emperor to ascend the throne. In less than two months, Mo Rongzhan succeeded in usurping the throne and replaced the puppet emperor as the new emperor.
The Ye family also lost its life because of this.
Ye Zhen dreamed of what her father had once said to her. "Yao Yao, everything in this world is doomed. Sooner or later, the Ye family will face a calamity. In history, no treacherous courtier can last long. Even if such a day comes in the future, I will protect you and your sister." Ye Zhen's eyes lit up.
"Yao Yao, if father leaves in the future, you have to wait patiently. Father will come back to you."
"Remember our secret code. If anyone else in this world knows this secret code, he must be a genius like father. Hahaha."
Then, she seemed to see the scene of blood rushing to the sky. All the people of the Ye family died under one crime after another.
"Father, Second Brother!" Ye Liangjian woke up with a heartache that felt like thousands of arrows had pierced through his heart.
Dai Mei, who was outside, hurried in. "Third Young Lady, what's wrong?"
Ye Zhen gasped for breath, sweating profusely. She looked at Dai Mei in front of her with lingering fear, and it took her a while to wake up from the dream.
"I'm fine." Ye Zhen whispered and glanced out of the window, realizing that it was already dawn.
"Did Third Young Lady have a nightmare again?" Dai Mei looked at her worriedly. She had been better these days. Why did she start having nightmares again?
Ye Zhen shook her head and said, "Go fetch water for me to bathe. I'm sweaty."
Only then did Dai Mei look at Ye Zhen's body. Sure enough, even her clothes were wet with sweat. "Miss, take off your wet clothes quickly, lest you catch a cold."
Strange, didn't they just change yesterday? Why does it look dirty?
Ye Zhen also found that there was something strange about her body. She sent Dai Mei away. "You go get some water first. I'll change my clothes myself."
After Dai Mei went down, Ye Zhen took off her clothes. She didn't know when her clothes were dirty. There was a layer of black stuff on her body. It stuck to her sweat, making her skin look dirty.
Strange, when she went to bed last night, her body was still clean. When did these black things stick to her?
Ye Zhen took a towel to wipe the sweat off her face and wiped her arm. She was surprised to find that her skin was much whiter and more moist than yesterday.
This is … She looked at her arm in amazement, remembering that she drank a drop of spirit spring before going to bed last night.
Does it have anything to do with the spirit spring? Can the spirit spring discharge the dirt on her body with sweat?
Ye Zhen was surprised and doubtful. She hurriedly took new clothes and put them on. When Dai Mei brought in the hot water, she gave the changed clothes to Dai Mei. "This clothes are too dirty. I don't want it anymore. Take it and throw it away."
Dai Mei nodded and came forward to serve Ye Zhen's bath.
"No, I'll do it myself." Ye Zhen said. She hadn't really figured out what was going on and didn't want anyone else to be here.
"Then this slave will bring the young lady breakfast." Dai Mei had long been accustomed to Ye Zhen's habit of not letting her die.
Ye Zhen sat in the bathtub, washed the stains on her body, and stood in front of the half-height bronze mirror. She looked at the person in it, and only two adjectives appeared in her mind.
Her red face was like a blooming lotus, and her skin was like cream.
Unexpectedly, the spirit spring had such a magical effect.
Ye Zhen was secretly delighted, but she was also a little nervous. Which woman doesn't want to be beautiful? It's just that it's not appropriate for her to stand out too much now. What's more, it's only been a few days and she's been reborn like a different person.
If she goes out today, it will certainly arouse suspicion.
Ye Zhen was in a dilemma. After thinking about it carefully, she called in the little maid who was serving outside and told her to dig some grass in the courtyard through the screen. She described the appearance of the grass and let her go out. Ye Zhen's face changed.
Fortunately, she had her sister's knowledge of herbs in her mind. She knew what kind of grass in the courtyard could temporarily cover her creamy skin. Her body didn't matter, the key was her face.
She didn't dare to eat the spirit spring again. If it became too powerful, she wouldn't be able to hide it.
The little maid quickly found a few grasses according to Ye Zhen's description. Ye Zhen was satisfied and let her go down to receive the reward.
She mashed the grass and smeared the juice on her face. Her jade-like skin immediately became a lot darker yellow, not as breathtaking as before.
Dai Mei came in with breakfast and saw that Ye Zhen was dressed neatly, with her black and shiny hair crooked on the soft couch. She walked over and said with a smile, "Third Miss, this slave has brought breakfast. When you have finished eating, this slave will comb your hair for you."
Ye Zhen smiled and said yes.
Dai Mei looked at the third miss, whose face was still yellow. For some reason, she always felt that the third miss seemed to be a little different today. However, she couldn't tell what was different. Every day she saw the third miss, she felt that she was a little better than yesterday.
After breakfast, Ye Zhen went to the study to find Mister Dan. After learning etiquette for two hours, she finally got an hour's rest.
Thinking of the unhappy expression on Pei Shi's face last night, she told Mister Dan and went to find Lu Xiangzhi.
As a result, because Lu Xiangzhi had been studying with Mister Dan these days, he didn't know what happened to Pei Shi. When his sister said so, he was also worried.
Ye Zhen said, "Don't worry, I'll go to Mother first and ask her. I'll tell you when there's news."
Lu Xiangzhi felt that his sister and mother must be easier to talk to, so he nodded, "Then go and ask."
In the end, when Ye Zhen turned to leave, Lu Xiangzhi sighed again, "Yao Yao, you are getting more and more beautiful. If I knew that the capital is so good at nurturing people, I should have let you come back earlier."
Ye Zhen looked back at him and said, "Even in the border town, I am still a beauty."
