Prince Yue, who had been through the palace at such a young age and had been conferred the title of King and Marquis, could not be deceived by such superficial excuses. However, there were times when people's explanations did not need to be taken seriously. It was fine as long as each person's face was acceptable.
/p
The two of us looked at each other in the dim light. I was crying, and he was watching me cry. Neither saying nor doing anything was a waste of time.
/p
The carriage creaked. The coachman outside was trembling as he braved the heavy curtains to report, "Your Highness, Miss Tang, we have arrived."
/p
He stood up and opened the curtains to give some orders. I faintly heard him say something about preparing hot water and a handkerchief. That's right, my sobbing appearance did not only make me lose my bearing, but also made me look extremely ugly. It was time for me to freshen up.
/p
"I had people prepare the things that women need to use to wash up. In a moment, there will be a servant girl to lead you there," Yue Wangye turned his head, his beautiful eyes were bright and I couldn't read any thoughts from them, "You just inexplicably cried, you scared me. I don't know why you cried. I wanted to ask you, or simply send someone to your residence to find out. "
/p
I thought that it would be strange if they could find out. Even I did not know why I cried.
/p
He pulled the curtains open a little more. Using the light to size me up, he said, "Change your clothes. They don't look like yours."
/p
But are they really not mine? Even the Tang Residence's tailor-made clothes can't be counted as my own. I don't know where I got this from.
/p
When I got off the carriage, my advantage as a woman was revealed. Ever since I left the boudoir, my feet had not stepped on solid ground. Prince Yue stood at the entrance of the carriage and pulled the curtains open for me. In a flash, I saw a restaurant decorated with red lights and green wine. In another flash, I was helped into a soft sedan chair by a servant girl. With someone to wait on me, I was very happy.
/p
I was escorted into a bright room. To be honest, I had been spending a lot of time with Prince Yue, so I wasn't used to being in a bright room with candles.
/p
There were three maidservants standing upright in the room, and they all bowed to me. I waved my hand to let them rise. Didn't they feel uncomfortable bowing?
/p
But even with my signal, not all of them stood up. The only one who stood up was a servant girl dressed like a fairy. Her clothes were pure white and fluttering in the wind. When she raised her head, I was so frightened that I took a step back. Wasn't this the girl I saw when I first opened my eyes and immediately passed through the wall?
/p
I pointed at her, unable to speak. "You … Are you a human or a ghost?"
/p
Unexpectedly, the girl was very familiar with me after the greeting. She directly helped me to the vanity mirror, and with a sweep of her long sleeves, she changed all the rouge and powder on the table. The originally colorful enamel jade-gilded ornament boxes were all changed into white porcelain boxes that were as thin as jade bones. The girl's hands were very skillful. She very skillfully began to bun my hair. Large drops of tears continuously fell on my head, making me dizzy and at a loss. "This servant has investigated thoroughly. Master has suffered greatly."
/p
I carefully thought about these three words. "Investigated thoroughly?"
/p
She simply tied my hair into a young girl's bun on the top of my head, with jade ornaments adorned with flying phoenixes and pearls on both sides. Her busy hands did not delay her long-winded speech. She said, "This servant will not speak too much about Master's fate. The Heavens are watching, this servant also does not dare to overstep her boundaries. But as for Master's current background, this servant has already inquired clearly. "
/p
"Mistress is the Second Miss of Prime Minister Tang's residence. Nominally, she is the legitimate child, but there is no record of which Furen's womb she was born from. After she returns, this servant will definitely go to Tianji's place to make a fuss. How can such a body with no clear history be casually used by Mistress?"
/p
Listening to these words, I almost bit my tongue. The body was such a precious thing. Listening to the little maid's tone, in her eyes, it was just an ordinary object.
/p
She continued, "The Tang Xiangguo Residence is not divided. There are a total of three families living in it. There is also an old lady from the previous dynasty. The first family is the current prime minister. Their surname is Tang, and they are called Tang Chengjue. They have two sons and three daughters. The eldest son is called Tang Min. The second son is called Tang Zheng. The eldest daughter is called Tang Yunmei. The third daughter is called Tang Yunxian. Only the eldest son and Master, this Second Miss, are legitimate children.
/p
Her verbal explanation gave me a headache. I asked, "Do you have a family tree? Let me take a look."
/p
This girl was truly resourceful. I didn't know where she had pulled out a Tang family genealogy book. While I was being helped to put on my makeup, my eyes didn't stay idle as I roughly skimmed through the book. After skimming through it, I had a rough idea of what was going on. I didn't bother to hide the sneer on my face as I slowly said, "It seems that this family really doesn't take me seriously. In this family, I've always been a concubine, but I'm called Chuizhu, a name that can't be ranked in the family. I shouldn't have been adopted from some fisherman's home and raised.
/p
"What a bunch of mortals pretending to be dogs." The maid was filled with righteous indignation. But her scolding was a bit strange. I couldn't help but raise my head to look at her.
/p
The maid hurriedly covered her mouth. "No matter what, this mortal has taken care of Master. The grace of giving birth to her is equal to the virtue of heaven. If I casually slander her, I will deduct a lot of merit. This servant won't dare to say that again."
/p
I didn't really understand what she was saying, but being able to stop her little mouth from chattering non-stop was also not a small merit.
/p
Suddenly, a sacred golden light fell on the maid's body. I was startled. The maid looked at the light and bowed to me with a smile. "This servant thanks Master for the reward."
/p
I blinked with a confused expression. "What did I reward you with?" “/p
/p
"Master, you want this servant to explain without a foreshadowing of the cause and effect. It is really unimaginable and cannot be believed. Master only needs to know that you are a noble person sent by heaven. You only need to endure the tribulations of this life. In the future, you will have peace. "
/p
She was painting a big picture on a piece of paper. She wasn't afraid of starving me to death. However, this maid seemed to know everything. She also knew what happened before I lost my memory. She just didn't want to talk about it.
/p
If she didn't want to talk about it, then she didn't want to talk about it. Let bygones be bygones. As long as it doesn't involve the present, then it's fine.
/p
Thus, I earnestly picked up the genealogy of the Tang family again. When I was serious about something, I would be able to see some parts that I didn't pay attention to. I couldn't help but click my tongue. The servant girl was very frightened and moved away. She hurriedly asked, "Master, what's wrong? Did this servant not serve you well?"
/p
I raised the book and pointed it out to her. "My generation's names are full of words. Even Cheng Jue of the previous generation deliberately picked the words in the book to make up for his name."
/p
"The Tang Clan is a scholarly family. Naturally, they are very attentive to the names of my brothers and grandfathers."
/p
I put down the book and played with a pearl hairpin in my hand. "I don't think so. The trend of the imperial court is closely related to the words and deeds of the officials. You have a lot of connections. Think about it, which one is more favored today, the Tang Clan or Prince Yue?"
/p
"There is no way to compare. After all, Prince Yue is the son of the current emperor."
/p
I said, "Even if he is the emperor's own son, the Tang Clan is more favored, right? Wang Ye used his martial prowess to gain merit, and the current Emperor used his scholarly skills to rule the country. No wonder this marriage was thrown at me. Is the Emperor planning to use the daughter of the Prime Minister as a chess piece? "
/p
This little maid didn't have much brain, but she firmly stood on the same side as me. She secretly scolded, "Really impudent."
/p
"Right," I asked her, "How much did you find out about Prince Yue?"
/p
She shook her head. "Prince Yue is the son of the Imperial Family. The Imperial Family has the protection of the Dragon Veins. They are the rulers chosen by the Heavens to control the country. This servant can't see their fate."
/p
I sighed. This Prince Yue, who can't see the light of day, seemed to be inextricably linked to me. Even our marriage seemed to be the result of the balance between several forces.
/p
Unexpectedly, when this maidservant heard me mention the Prince of Yue, she unexpectedly became very unhappy. Even though she was timid, she put her hands on her hips and threw a kick at me: "Master, why are you asking about a mortal? You can't just go through a tribulation and give this servant a male master!"
/p
"Again?" I was surprised. "Could it be that I've been married before?"
/p
The maid knew that she had misspoken, but she still straightened her neck and fiercely said to me, "Master, in this life, you are still an unmarried lady. It doesn't matter whether you are married or not. However, Master, you must not fall in love with a mortal. Your husband is a thousand times, ten thousand times, a hundred million times better than these mortals."
/p
I propped up my head and looked at the maid dancing with joy. I leisurely said, "Then what is my husband, who is a hundred million times better than Prince Yue, doing when I will be married in three days?"
/p
"Yes, yes." She also couldn't answer.
/p
"Since you can't answer, then let me live a peaceful life," I said to her sincerely. "I don't know what your previous master was like in your eyes, but I am like this now. Although I like to show off, I am content with the current situation. I don't have the strength to go against the heavens and change my fate. In the end, I am just putting the word 'lazy' on my head."
/p
You see, even if you are going to marry a Ghost Mask Lord with a bad reputation, you can still prepare for marriage after a few words. Fate is naturally determined by the heavens. If you really want to defy my new master, it won't be too late to think of a way at that time.
/p
The maid was angry. She said, "Is Master only like this now? I think Master has always been like this. If you don't have this temper, then our Emperor, the Emperor … "
/p
Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door. An old woman outside asked, "Miss, are you done dressing up?"
/p
I glared at the servant girl and raised my voice, "Soon, soon." Then, I quickly turned my head and said to her, "Why aren't you going quickly? Oh right, what did you say about these two maids?"
/p
She reluctantly replied to me, "This servant will instill the memories they should have."
/p
I nodded and pointed to a wall and said, "Okay, you quickly go back to your place."
/p
The maid looked at me deeply and knelt down in front of me. She said, "This servant has done something wrong. When Master returns, this servant will accept the punishment. But if Master really has feelings for someone else, then this servant, even if this servant has done something wrong to Master, in the future, this servant is willing to be a ghost or a beast! "
/p
She knocked her head hard on the ground and went nimbly through the wall.
