I SHOULD BE PROUD!
Woke up, it is the setting sun, twilight. Which room, bright and clean, furnished elegant, but very strange.
“Where am I?” Mind still in chaos, Lisu’s said in a hoa.r.s.e voice; unexpectedly, somewhat she does not known her own voice.
“You are awake?” Tall figure moved to the bed, his face backlit seen unclear, Lisu inexplicable surprised, increasingly heavy guarded, so she immediately sat up, low voice asked: “Who?”
“I never expected that Second Lady so soon will forget me.” The man answers and smiled, joking with a touch of chill.
w.a.n.g Zhenning Dongfang Ze? Lisu heart started of the previous piercing scene that enter to her mind that make her body startled, at instant her face is white as a sheet. She immediately raise her hand into her face, use to control herself from the emotions of grief.
He sighed, slowly over to the bed to sit down, quietly watching her. The man is tall and handsome, honorable grace, a pair of deep eyes black as ink, inner brilliance restrained, as if the dark world of endless light.
Lisu knows, she owed him to thanks, she open her mouth to spit a word. But she did not say a word to talk.
Dongfang Ze first opening: “I never think Second Miss feelings are so deep, without distinction. On Ming Yu’s Mother Princess’s death, you distraught, until fainted……Ben w.a.n.g felt that even the reincarnation of Princess Ming Yu, witnessed the Princess to die, her feeling of grief and fear is same way too,”
His pair of black eyes, deeply watching her that seems has another meaning.
Lisu heart startled, and immediately forced himself to look up at him. From experience, he began to doubts her ident.i.ty, and could not believe. And his att.i.tude is sometimes tough, sometimes permissive,is just confusing. Imperial courts and ordinary people words, anger must have hurt, Ben w.a.n.g irritability; Ben w.a.n.g prefer a good plan, there must be a plan. It seems that telling the truth. This man’s mind is indeed elusive, she can not be taken lightly.
It Convergence to live pain in mind, Lisu softly replied: “I was thirteen years old with mother, when I met Princess Ming Yu, it is my good fortune. Princess and I pay deep shallow words, her mother is like my own mother.”
Then slowly, without leaving any traces sweep at him, but found his eye as deep as the lake, simply do not see, could not help a slight frown, weeping eye and said: “My mother is like the Regent Princess in general with no doubts, love is life. At the Regent Palace I witnessed the princess lost her beloved daughter that reminds me of my mother who pa.s.sed away three years ago, the scene ….., sometimes grief difficult to curb. To let Ben w.a.n.g laughed! “
“So it is!” Dongfang Ze no smile, but verbally relieved: “You don’t need to be too sad, you still have father, brother and sister, you are not alone.”
His father and brothers and sisters ……
Lisu hands suddenly tight, affection is thin as onion skin affection that made her heart suddenly hurt and vixen. Think she still in mourning, because her mother Princess death traditional illnesses relapse, sick in bed, In order to eliminate Lisu’s death as soon as possible they give two enormous palace shock, To consolidate his position, his father can not wait to off his sister to betrothed to her man who abused and abandoned her.
Loved for so many years,his affection for his daughter in so many years is not more important and powerful in his heart.
She could not help mocking brought back lips, sneered: “Father and brothers and sisters? My position at home, Zhenning w.a.n.g will not guess! I am daughter of a concubine, daughter in the eyes of my father, did I really exist? ! My sister and step-mom, are even abandoned me, treated me in order to defeat …… First I was framed of fornication with a servant, Sending back to the House actually got by the culprits in both hands in the road! Villain, everyone knows! Haven’t enjoy the half affection of my family, but I’m almost killed. w.a.n.g Zhenning before you come to the rescue, perhaps, I’m already meet my mother meet in heaven, so, what kind of opportunities are there that w.a.n.g Zhenning talking! “
She said so many words in one breath, emotional excitement was already sound conceal sad, ironic smile but eyes holding in the phrase “ I am the daughter of a Concubine “, Dongfang Ze frowned even more, his heart can not detect the hurt again. Memory, has been said to him, “But it is the concubine b.a.s.t.a.r.d, also compete for ninth five of delusion bit, really nonsense!”
” Daughter of a concubine, how? If you even underestimate yourself, then who will respect you? ” Dongfang Ze suddenly narrowed his eyes,look severe color, since his deep eyes fleeting. ” Prime Minister eyes is not in you, it is because in his eyes you are not good enough, or that he thought that your qualifications and ability is not qualified to be his p.a.w.n to consolidate his power. Are you willing to be a political p.a.w.n?”
He asked softly, his face can not see any expression.
p.a.w.n? Of course not! Lisu shook his head, she reborn again as Prime Minister daughter, people in the official residence treated her bad in general, but she is not the real Su Li, naturally she do not really care as to her as a Prime minister Su “daughter ” who do not care about to pay attention.
Lisu looked up at him, eyes a little cold. , such as the Prime Minister Su and Zhenning w.a.n.g befriend, moving in early is nothing new. Heard that Prime Minister Su intended to be betrothed his eldest daughter Su Qin to Dongfang Ze, but not yet found an opportunity. Dongfang Ze is the son of Imperial concubine compared to Dongfang Zhou son of the Queen, life experience is obviously a point slightly lower. But he was extraordinary talented and have ability,that times have Sheng Huang appreciated, and the same year that bestow Dongfang Zhou, treated exactly the same, apparently between the two princes Huang Sheng is indecisive towards who stands to be the crown prince. Prime minister Su and the Regent often has a political discord of the concubines prince, apparently there’s a reason behind.
Dongfang Ze suddenly smiled and said: “Ben w.a.n.g see you that you are not a stupid person, It’s not like the rumors said, without sign of weakness. Ben w.a.n.g is curious, in so many years, you let Su Qin trouble you without resistance, what is it on keeping a low profile, or are you still waiting for the right opportunity to fight back? Perhaps …… your surface is weak, but actually you have a natural instinct of pride, on does not even bother to fight? “
His mouth smiled, but it is extremely sharp vision, almost equal to her eyes.
Lisu instinctively frown, There is a feeling to be seen through, very uncomfortable, but she did not therefore have to dodge, but the faint hope in the past, looking calm and said: “Ben w.a.n.g seeing me is getting late now,I must say good-bye! . “
When she stop on speaking and get up, Dongfang Ze not retain, he casually asked: “Ben w.a.n.g is available to send you back to the House?”
Lisu lightly said: “Do not bother, today Su Li owed princes favors, if there’s an opportunity come to settled my deep grat.i.tude up to death (idiom), I’ll leave…”
Waiting for him to respond, she turned to step out the door, quickly walked away.
