Chapter 232 Strange Woman
Yangyang walked to the deserted yard, confirmed that no one was around, and wanted to push the door open, but found that the door was locked. Helplessly, she saw a dog hole, so...
Unlike the desolation outside, inside it is a thriving and beautiful scene.
In the lotus pond in the courtyard, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, and under the moonlight and against the backdrop of the lotus leaves, they look even more beautiful and charming.
The curved bridge over the pond has white jade railings that have been polished to a sheen, which must have been taken care of regularly.
Standing on the curved bridge and looking at the water pavilion opposite, it is brightly lit. The white gauze on the window sways slowly in the breeze, brushing against the willows hanging down beside, as if the lover is touching the girl's hair, which makes people's hearts ripple.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Yangyang shivered, then came back to his senses from staring.
It turns out that I have been standing here for a long time without realizing it. It’s really strange, as if I was fascinated!
Yangyang walked forward lightly, gradually approaching the waterside pavilion. From time to time, a beautiful female voice came, "Who is outside?"
Yangyang stopped and didn't realize that there was really someone inside. "Don't be afraid, miss, I..." Yangyang was stunned and didn't know how to explain the reason.
But a beautiful figure came before him, but this Rong woman liked to wear a veil, so Yangyang couldn't see her face clearly, and was asked again, "Who are you?"
The woman came closer and closer, carefully examining Yangyang's features in the moonlight, and asked in surprise, "Are you the daughter of Concubine An?"
"Do you know Concubine An?" Yangyang didn't know this person's origins and hesitated whether to reveal her identity, but she couldn't help but be curious!
"How could I not know him!" The woman sighed and turned around and said, "Come in with me! I didn't expect someone would come to visit me today!"
This palace? Yangyang followed him into the waterside pavilion with doubts. The whole room was covered with hanging white gauze, and the scene was a little creepy.
The woman walked to a low couch, turned around and sat down, beckoning Yangyang to sit on the cushion below.
Seeing this momentum and calling herself "this palace", Yangyang couldn't help but become more curious.
The woman rested her head on the pillow and asked leisurely, "This place is off-limits to people, did you know that?"
"I know, but I'm curious?" Yangyang answered while glancing at the furnishings of the pavilion, the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, the dressing table by the window... "May I ask, Madam, why do you live here?"
"Your Majesty?" The woman smiled half sadly and half mockingly, "No one has called me like this for many years!"
The woman looked out the window at the willow branches swaying in the wind, "I am not as free as those branches, trapped in this world!"
After saying that, he suddenly turned to look at Yangyang, and said with accusatory anger, "It's all because of your mother, it's all because of that bitch." With a wave of his long sleeves, the collapsed flowerpot fell to the ground and shattered.
Yangyang was shocked, "Empress, please don't be angry."
I saw the phoenix hairpin on the dressing table just now. Although it is quite different from the ones from Dapu Country, its shape is rich and noble, and not something that ordinary people can use.
Therefore, Yangyang guessed her identity, but Yangyang wanted to ask more questions, but was suppressed by her anger and dared not say more.
Seeing that she seemed to be particularly disgusted with her mother, Yangyang seemed to be able to guess something.
"Queen?" The woman laughed. "Queen? What kind of queen am I? Get out of here, right now!"
Seeing that she was indignant and furious, Yangyang had no choice but to flee out of the pavilion in a panic until he crawled out through the dog hole again.
Just as he got out of the dog hole, An's voice came, "The princess is really here!"
Yangyang raised her head and laughed dryly with a dusty face, "An, why are you here too? This princess must have been sleepwalking just now! Yes, a nightmare!"
"Princess Nightmare even knew to change into a maid's clothes?" An said calmly and seriously, leaving no room for Yangyang at all.
Yangyang brushed off the dirt on his clothes. Since he had been seen through, he had nothing to hide, so he asked directly, "An! Why is this woman imprisoned here? Is she the queen of King Rong now?"
"She is not the Queen. We in Rong country don't have a Queen!" An said, extremely coldly!
"How could there not be?" Yangyang thought, "Do you mean that she was abandoned?"
Judging from the woman's figure and demeanor, if she was really the queen, she seemed too young. If she was not, then why did she react like that?
Yangyang looked straight at An, wanting him to give an accurate answer.
But An was never the one willing to give an answer. An looked cold and said, "Go back with your subordinates. It's not safe here!"
"But you haven't answered this princess' question yet?"
"I have already answered!"
An's resolute look forced Yangyang to leave, but she had already made up her mind to come back to find out the truth.
So the next day, Yangyang wanted to repeat her old trick and change into the maid's clothes, but was exposed by An.
So Yangyang tried every possible way, and luckily escaped An's sight by going to the toilet during the day, and came to the yard again.
Unlike at night, the woman slept unusually soundly during the day, and she did not wake up until Yangyang approached the bed.
Yangyang finally had a chance to take a good look at the courtyard. Except for the waterside pavilion, all other rooms were covered with a thick layer of dust.
It seems that this woman only lives in this waterside pavilion on weekdays! How strange.
"Have you seen enough?"
The woman finally woke up and saw Yangyang. She didn't feel strange at all. Instead, she sat in front of the dressing table and fixed her hair as usual. "Can you comb your hair?"
Yangyang was stunned, "Yes! Yes!"
The woman picked up the comb on the dressing table and handed it over proudly, "Comb my hair!"
Yangyang walked closer, took the comb from her hand, and started combing her hair the way Xiaotao usually did.
But behind this seemingly lush hair were actually strands of silver hair. Yangyang then discovered that the slight wrinkles at the corners of the woman's eyes were like the traces of the ravages of time on her!
"What are you looking at?"
Seeing Yangyang lost in thought, the woman asked sensitively.
Yangyang was afraid of angering her again and didn't want to waste the opportunity. If she was caught by An this time, she didn't know when the next time would be.
Considering her status, why not give in to her? Maybe I can get something out of her!
So she combed her hair carefully over and over again, imitating the maid's way and said softly, "Madam, what kind of bun do you want today?"
"Today? Is there anything important today?" The woman looked at the mirror, as if lost in memories.
"Today, today?" Yangyang wondered what was so special about today. "Today is the hottest day of the year. Why don't you wear your hair in a bright bun?"
"A bright bun?"
