Chapter 60: Untying the Servant's Heart
When the mangrove curtain came in, the person on the carved tooth bed had just half of his body, and a satin-like green silk dragged to the edge of the bed.
Fu Liluo opened his eyes sleepily, leaning on the big black and green pillow in a daze, and there was a large green patch under his sparkling eyes.
"Miss must not have slept well at night, your eyelids are all blue and black!"
Manluo stuffed the freshly warmed hand stove into her quilt, and took the fire primer to pull the silver charcoal in the brazier, in fact, she didn't sleep soundly, the former miss ruthlessly drove Xiao'e and Xiaozhu out of the house, let them cry so miserable and pitiful, Miss just didn't move, she begged and begged, but Miss was determined, she couldn't help it.
What's more, Manluo understands that Miss has been very bored in the past two days, in addition to a big mess in the house, and yesterday's old man mentioned that he married the king of Dongyang.
She has been with Miss for so long, and she knows that Miss is unwilling to marry the King of Dongyang, otherwise she will not think about tea and dinner for the past two days, and she will either sleep or read books in the room all day, and the most she reads is the yellowed "Seven Star Sword Book" on the incense table.
The silver filigree of the brazier is burning, and the bright light shines the little face of the person on the bed brilliantly red, as if it is coated with a layer of rouge.
Fu Li Luo leaned against the head of the bed, touching the warm jaw with his cold fingertips, and his bright eyes were coated with a layer of mist at some point, less brilliant than in the past.
"What did you send this?" Fu Liluo picked up the light blue sticker on the mahogany cabinet, and the entrance was inlaid with gold thread and hairpins, which were smooth and soft to the touch, with a cold fragrance.
She recognized this precious paper as water-patterned paper, which was a special thing for the nobles in the palace.
Fu Liluo secretly guessed in his heart which nobleman had posted it, and before he could put down his thin white hand, the manberry rubbed up.
"Miss, this was sent from the palace the morning before yesterday, saying that you were asked to go to the East Palace for a banquet on the 29th. Manluo stroked her round forehead and rested her head on Fu Liluo's arm, rubbing it like a kitten tickling.
"Isn't that tomorrow!, it's just that this East Palace is going to hold a banquet for some reason..."Fu Liluo half-squinted his watery eyes, his sparkling pupils were like a calm secluded tan, only flashing between the deep groans, and bursts of fog suddenly rose under his jade-like eyes, with a cold coldness.
She pinched the blue water-streaked letter post, flipped back and forth a few times, and didn't see the details of the banquet on it, but only eight gilded characters jumped on the paper: "The East Palace is very happy, and it is invited to the banquet"
She is now living as an ancient Xi, and the ruthless couple will not doubt her identity, at least not at this stage.
It's just that why did they invite her to the banquet? If she remembered correctly, Gu Qian, who was Otsuka Zai's father, had just rejected Yuwen Jingyi's woo not long ago, could it be that Yuwen Jingyi didn't give up and wanted to fight Gu Qian? Fu Li Luo frowned and thought deeply.
"Miss, I saw that you were very annoyed that day, so I didn't tell you in time. Manluo picked up the thick fur and draped it on Fu Liluo's slender shoulders, and poured her another cup of hot tea.
Manluo stared at Fu Liluo's cold little face with round apricot eyes, and was a little flustered, could it be that Miss blamed her for not telling the letter in time?
"Miss, don't be angry! You're busy!" Manro, pursed her red lips and rubbed her chubby hands on the edge of the bed.
"I'm not angry, what's so angry about it, it's not a big deal. Fu Liluo dragged his cheeks and leaned beside the incense case.
Manluo blinked and smiled, hurriedly took out a bag of pastries wrapped in yellow paper, took out a soft and glutinous pastry between two fingers, and handed it to Fu Liluo with a smile: "Miss, you eat and look at this, it is a new plum crisp made by Jinzhenfang, sweet and sweet but not greasy." ”
"I don't want to eat. ”
Fu Liluo glanced at it, hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head to refuse, curled up and sat on the felt soft couch with his arms in his arms and groaned.
"This is the most appetizing, knowing that the young lady is annoying, then you should eat some sweets. Manberry lifted her legs and crossed her legs on the edge of the bed, laughing and throwing a piece of pastry into her mouth.
Fu Liluo looked at the reincarnation of the hungry ghost of mangrove, and couldn't help but walk over and push her with a disgusted face: "Go down, you're all falling into bed, hurry... Go down. The thin white hand hit the little maid's bulging body like a puppy, but the mangrove still did not move at all and was entrenched on the bed, Fu Liluo suddenly lost her strength, sighed lightly, and let her go.
Rolling up his slightly furrowed eyebrows, he raised his eyes and scratched the mangrove in a funny way: "You! you know how to eat and eat all day long, do you still want to be appetizing? Isn't it so fragrant to eat every day?"
"No, when Xiao'e and Xiaozhu cried out of the house the day before yesterday, the slave and maid were sad and didn't eat..." Manro's eyes suddenly turned red, her mouth flattened, she put down the food in her hand, her long eyelids covered her side face full of thoughts, and she wrung her hands and lowered her head.
"Then you blame me for being ruthless?"
Fu Liluo was wrapped in a shawl and nested cross-legged on the soft couch, and his cold eyes floated on the cranberry's pretty little face.
Manluo nodded blankly and immediately shook it, hurriedly put on her shoes and heels, picked up the light purple cardigan skirt on the screen and put it on for Fu Liluo: "Miss will support you in whatever decision the slave and maid do, although Xiao'e is pitiful, she should never have murderous intentions towards Miss." ”
Manluo tied the narrow belt for her, picked up the white hair brocade and put it on, sighed long, pulled her lips and smiled bitterly: "Everything is Xiao'e's own fault, I believe Xiao'e will understand, she will not be jealous of Miss." ”
"It doesn't matter if she understands it or not, it's important that you understand. ”
Fu Li Luo looked at Manluo who shrunk her shoulders and drooped her eyes, although she didn't know her true identity, but after all, she had served Gu Xi since she was a child, and her temperament also followed Gu Xi's straightforward and simple, and she also liked her sincerity, so she didn't want to blame her for Xiao'e's matter.
"The slave understands. ”
Manluo raised her crystal eyes, smiled lightly at Fu Liluo, revealing her small white teeth, and there were a few black sesame seeds on a small tooth on the upper left, which was exposed as soon as she grinned, looking like half a tooth, which looked very funny.
The sad atmosphere just now suddenly disappeared, Fu Liluo stretched out his hand to cover the corners of his mouth, but he still laughed out loud, and stretched out his hand to point at the bewildered manna: "Idiot, haha, that crisp cake is so delicious, I am reluctant to swallow it, do you want to keep it for the evening?"
After saying that, he covered his waist with his thin hands, and suddenly fell on the soft couch with a smile...
Manluo was stunned, looked dumbfounded, reached out and touched her bulging cheeks, muttered quietly and ran to the mahogany-colored dresser, looked in the mirror with her teeth bared, and laughed happily: "Hahahaha... This Jinzhenfang is just as bad, and any pastry likes to be served with black sesame seeds. Manrose angrily picked up Supa and went to pick up her teeth.
Fu Liluo lay on his back on the soft couch with green silk on his back, covered his face with a gauze handkerchief, and laughed at the broken appearance of manberry picking his teeth.
"Miss, manberry" Mu Qi, who was dressed in black, suddenly opened the curtain and walked in, holding a wood-colored brocade box in his hand.
"Come and make a fire. ”
Fu Liluo sat up and greeted Mu Qi with a smile, touching her ice-like fingertips, which were covered with deep and shallow scars, crawling all over his palm like an earthworm, Fu Liluo's heart was sour.
"Miss, do you think Mu Qi's complexion is much better. Manluo smiled and took Mu Qi's hand and sat together on the soft vultures by the brazier.
Fu Li Luo Subai's hand touched the hand warmer, stood against the big felt soft couch, and carefully looked at Mu Qi, who was sitting on the hook.
Mu Qi couldn't say that the cheekbones on his fair cheeks were still prominent, but those eyes were black and dazzling, not as dull as they were on the street that day.
The scar on her slender neck had already scabbed, and the collar of the crochet flower brocade just covered the deepest one, Mu Qi seemed to notice her searching gaze, and raised his hand unconsciously like a neck stroke.
"Mu Qi, you can tell me anything about it. Fu Liluo looked at the tip of her bright yellow nose illuminated by the fire, and always felt that she had some resentment in her heart, after all, she had been sold for several years, would she be strange that Gu Xi didn't look for her?
Manluo hugged Mu Qi's skinny wrist, brushed the broken hair from her ear behind her ear for her, looked at Fu Liluo, who was dressed in a shallow body, and burst into tears with a smile: "Mu Qi, we will always follow Miss in the future, and we will never be separated again." ”
Manluo raised her hand sideways to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and leaned on Mu Qi's shoulder with a light smile: "Do you know Mu Qi? Miss and I have been looking for you for a long time, and we have gone to the continent but we haven't found you, how do you know that you are less than a few dozen kilometers away from here!" Thinking of Mu Qi being detained in the place of pickled and obscene caves for several years, Manluo hated to burn down the red-clothed building.
But the young lady discounted one of the mother-in-law's arms, which can be regarded as a bad breath for Mu Qi.
Fu Liluo obviously felt Mu Qi's body tremble, and it took a while for Mu Qi to move his dry lips and say, "Miss... I didn't expect Miss to go to the slave, Miss..."
Mu Qi rubbed his black and thin hands, stood up with tears in his eyes and a sad face, and suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Miss, thank you for saving your life, also... Thank you for so many years of searching..."Mu Qi covered his mouth and cried loudly, his thin body trembling more and more.
Mu Qi remembered that she had spent countless nights in fear before, she had spent it in loss and resentment, and she had always thought that the young lady had not gone looking for her, so her heart was full of sadness and pain.
Until this moment, Mu Qi knew that the original young lady had never given up on herself, and Mu Qi's dead gray pupils lit up in an instant, like a bright moon rising in the dim sky.
"Don't cry, get up, your injuries aren't healed yet!"
Fu Liluo took a step forward and held Mu Qi's trembling body.
Lifting Su Pati Mu Qi to wipe the tears on her face, when touching a wound the size of a fingernail on her cheek, Fu Li Luo's clear autumn eyes flashed a trace of fierceness: "What's going on with this wound?"
The pink wound was half-curved, and it cracked open to reveal the tender flesh, which looked a little shocking.
"It's okay, the slave accidentally fell and broke it. Mu Qi stroked his hand to cover it, but accidentally touched the red meat, bared his teeth and hissed, and hung his head busily and refused to look up.
"Mu Qi, who did this when you tell Miss?" Manloteng threw away the fire primer in his hand, and suddenly pulled Mu Qi's arm, his round little face bulged out angrily, like a small leather ball that was about to explode in an instant, and his dark eyes stared at the wound on Mu Qi's cheek.
"I fell on my own... Falling. ”
Mu Qi smiled and withdrew his hand, spread out his withered vine-like palm and put it on the top of the brazier to roast the fire, his gray lips were pursed, and his bright eyes suddenly surged with a layer of twilight, and his eyes sank and watched the silver charcoal burning in the brazier crackling.
The day before yesterday, the young lady was busy dealing with Xiao'e's affairs, and she was called by the second lady of Ju Qingyuan, saying that she would send a box of scar removal dew to herself, but she didn't have time to refuse, but the second lady wiped her whole face with a smile.
Unexpectedly, before he reached the arch of the porch steps, he was knocked down by a black cat that suddenly sprang out.
The cat's sharp claws were straight and scratched at her cheeks, which were already covered with old wounds and her arms were weak and weak, and she was powerless to resist the black cat's attack.
Mu Qi groaned and lay on the ground, watching the grinning black cat jump to the bottom of the porch The second lady's arm flashed into the roller shutter door....
Mu Qi looked at Fu Liluo's worried face, and his heart was full of gratitude.
But she can't tell Miss, the old lady is about to go back to the house, she doesn't like Miss, if she tells Miss at this time that the second lady did it, according to the young lady's temperament, she will inevitably go to the second lady to theorize, at that time the house will not be peaceful, if the old lady knows, she will definitely blame the eldest lady.
Mu Qi made up her mind in her heart, in order not to make trouble for the young lady, she had to swallow this bitter fruit.
