Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 13

"But, my lord, Hongyan is just a maidservant." He Ji handed over his hands in embarrassment, with a clear expression of pleading on his face.

Lu Kai seemed to see something, but he didn't show it on his face, he snorted and said, "General He, why do you mind, the king didn't say that beauties can't be maids."

"This?" Beads of sweat oozed from He Ji's palms. "General He, I think that's the way to go. Tomorrow, let's report to Madam." Lu Kai stroked his beard and walked away triumphantly with the guards.

"Bastard!" He Ji waited for Lu Kai to go a long way before cursing severely.

"Brother He, Master Hou is kind to us, Baoguo can do without us, but what would the people do without Lord Hou?" Hongyan quietly took He Ji's hand, silently staring into his tearful eyes.

"Sister Hongyan, since the king has the Sangong and Sixth Courtyard, why does he want our beautiful women from Baoguo? Isn't he too confused for being so sentimental?" Among the crowd, Ah Si, who was a maid, suddenly approached Hongyan In front of him, fight against injustice.

"Miss A Si, this is not clear in a few words. Zhou Tianzi is the sky, we are the earth, and the order of the king is the order of the country!" Hongyan hurriedly covered Ah Si's mouth and reminded solemnly.

"Well, although I'm a country girl, I also understand that everyone in this country must work together to have enough food and clothing every year. The king lives in the palace all year round. Is it true that his orders cannot be violated?" Ah Si blinked leisurely. Two big hazy eyes.

"A Si! No matter what, sister, I accept my fate. Since the court wants me, I will sacrifice myself, and I must redeem Lord Hou!" Hongyan said firmly, holding A Si's hand.

"Sister Hongyan, I know you love Brother He. Why did you marry someone you don't like?" Ah Si looked at Hongyan suspiciously.

"Who is so bold to slander the king behind his back!" At this moment, following a rush of steps, Lu Kai led his men and turned back aggressively.

"My lord, it's nothing, it's just a child talking crazy." He Ji didn't expect Lu Kai to go and come back, so he quickly dragged Ah Si and Hong Yan to kneel down.

"What's your name, why is your voice so nice, look up!" Lu Kai chuckled a few times, and smiled at Ah Si who was kneeling on the ground.

"My maidservant's name is A Si, please be merciful, let Sister Hongyan go, she doesn't want to enter the palace." A Si kowtowed.

"Girl, raise your head!" Lu Kai was completely overwhelmed by the unique Lan Xinhui quality of this girl on the ground, he gathered himself together, and ordered again.

Ah Si slightly raised her head shyly. "Oh!" Lu Kai couldn't help cheering in his heart.Although she was only dressed as a maid, she was dressed in common clothes, but she couldn't hide her stunning beauty, but seeing her weak eyes and swaying waves, there was no trace of mundane air on her childish face.

"Yes, it's her!" Lu Kai suddenly understood.

"My lord, what do you mean by that? Miss Ah Si is a distinguished guest of our Lord Hou. Before leaving, Lord Hou told us to take good care of her." He Ji nervously stood in front of Ah Si and warned Lu Kai.

"My lord, I can assure you that when the king sees this girl, he will definitely release your Marquis back. How about it, do you want to welcome your Marquis back?" Lu Kai asked with a smile.

"Lord Lu, you are an important minister of the imperial court, and you can't use the name of the king to take such a plunder. Miss A Si was named and protected by our Lord Hou. No matter how you say it, I can't obey orders!" He Ji flatly refused.

"Is there any reason for this? What's the chance? For my lord's face, you dare to dismiss it and tell you that if you don't hand over this woman, my lord will go back to Beijing and sue you for plotting rebellion. At that time, you can't afford it!" Lu Lu Kay flicked his sleeves roughly and walked away.

"Bastard!" He Ji's eyes were red with anger. "What can we do? He Ji, the courtiers of the emperor of Zhou insisted on asking Ah Si to be a tribute girl. If he doesn't reply tomorrow, then the marquis will be finished in the capital!" Wu Ji walked into the hall in shock and asked He Ji road.

"Ma'am, Hongyan is willing to exchange herself for Lord Hou, and has repaid the kindness of Lord Hou. Please, madam, become a servant!" Hongyan kowtowed in tears.

"Sister Hongyan, no, you can't come back after you go to the capital, my sister is willing to go for you, you must not do this!" Ah Si said desperately to hold Hongyan.

"That's absolutely impossible, Ah Si, you are the protector of the little duke!" He Ji quickly refused.

"No, Ah Si has had a hard life since she was a child. If Master Hou still treated me as a human being, arranged for my mother, and buried my father generously, then Ah Si would be lost forever. Lord Hou has shown such great kindness to Ah Si, Ah Si It's hard to repay even a broken body!" Ah Si said euphemistically and movingly with tears in her eyes.

"A Si! It's hard for you!" Wu Ji hugged Ah Si in her arms in pain.

"A Si knows that the son is good to Ah Si, and Ah Si will only repay it in the next life!" Ah Si whimpered softly, but her mind was dazedly reflecting the son who was attacked by a tiger in the wilderness that day, where is he now?

At night, with the dew of autumn leaves, slowly falling into the lamp, the cold fragrance is filled with the shadow of autumn leaves, A Si is dressed up by the maids, like a princess, in the blurred bronze mirror, there are pearl tassels swaying in front of her eyes , and tangy powder.

Silently he dyed his lips cherry red

"That's it, Miss A Si was sent to the capital as a tribute girl by Lu Kai's gang of robbers!" Bao Wanggong, He Ji sobbed and explained everything to Jutu.

"Could it be that the majesty's magnanimity and generosity today are all because of Ah Si? Ah Si has unknowingly entered the Chaoyang Palace with heavy walls?" Que Tu was almost on the verge of a nervous breakdown. The Grand Palace Maid Xinyue, that frosty face.

"She entered the palace?" Kuetu tightly covered his chest with his hands.

"Entered the palace? Her immature face and pure personality? Can she laugh?" Qu Tu almost went crazy, he could no longer care about the rumors in Baoguo, he wanted to go back to Beijing, he wanted to see her.
