Chapter 9: I'm Not Your Miss
It was as if I had been wandering in the dark for a long, long time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info has no direction and is aimless. Why is it not yet dawn, how long will I have to wander?, wait, there seems to be a flute in the dark, it is the sound of the eldest brother's flute, I followed the sound, and finally there was light in front of me.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Dongfang Xun sitting on the edge of the **. Thinking of Cui Ping, I quickly sat up. "Where's Cui Ping?" I asked him eagerly. But he looked at me and didn't answer, his eyes were very cold.
"What about you?" I grabbed his arm and shook it vigorously, but he still didn't speak, but his eyes became more cold.
Seeing Dongfang Xun's reaction, I lost my soul in a trance: "Is Cui Ping dead?"
"You liar, you promised me to let her go. "I lost control all of a sudden, and he slapped him in the face. He reacted quickly, grabbed my wrist at once, and pulled me tightly in his arms.
"It's better for you to die, and I won't help you if I die. "I broke down emotionally, crying and struggling to break free from his restraints, but he hugged him so tightly that I could only cry out weakly. He didn't say anything, just let me cry, and gradually I cried so hard that I calmed down.
After seeing that I was calm, he let go of me and said lightly, "Come in!"
"Miss!" Cui Ping came in from outside. When I saw that it was her, I was overjoyed and got up to meet her, who knew that I was tripped by Nishiki and fell and ate.
"Miss, be careful!" "Be careful!" Cui Ping and Dongfang Xun forced a smile and hurriedly came over to help me back onto the couch.
"Concubine Xuan, you will live in the Splendid Garden in the future, and you don't need to go back to Yulan Garden. Dongfang Xun's words startled me.
"What did you say?" When did I become a concubine? Why did I wake up and the world changed.
"This king asked the Empress Dowager to canonize you as a side concubine, and the Empress Dowager has agreed, only to choose a day to salute, and now it is known to the world. Dongfang Xun's answer made me dumbfounded.
"Concubine, thank you for your grace!" his handsome face with a wicked smile came closer and closer to me, and I leaned back to dodge, his lips brushing my face, lightly imprinting my earlobes, and I shivered. Seeing this situation, Cuiping blessed his body and went down.
I was about to have a seizure, but I heard him whisper in my ear: "Concubine is just a play, to make Sun Ruhai think that this king has been deceived by you, so that the information you give him will be more credible." You just need to cooperate with this king to play this scene well. ”
"It's okay to act, just don't take the opportunity to take advantage of me. I whispered back in his ear.
He hesitated for a moment, then said with some contempt and anger: "You are the woman of this king, and it has been a fact that cannot be changed since the day you entered the palace. If this king wants you, you should be honored. ”
"Lord Wang, don't forget that I am Sun Ruhai's daughter! "I proudly commanded him.
"Ai Concubine, you are recovering from a serious illness, so let's rest quickly!" he didn't get a bargain, and flicked his sleeves angrily and left.
"Concubine, send off the prince!" I said deliberately loudly, just looking at the back, I knew that he was angry.
"Miss!" Cui Ping saw Dongfang Xun leave and returned to me.
"How's your injury, does it matter?" I asked, grabbing her hand, with concern.
"Miss, it's Cuiping who has caused you. Cui Ping knows it, Miss doesn't want her life for Cui Ping!" she whimpered and knelt in front of me.
"Get up, be careful that the wall has ears!" I pulled her up and motioned for her to whisper.
"Yes, Miss!" she replied.
"Cuiping, do I look like your former miss?" I asked her.
"Miss, why do you ask?" she looked at me puzzled.
"It's okay! just tell the truth!" I replied.
"Miss is indeed different from before!" she said nonely, probably remembering what she said to me in the cell, and she was a little afraid!
"Cuiping, have you ever thought that I wasn't your lady at all?" I said to her with a smile.
"Miss is not Miss, I have been waiting for Miss since I was a child! What is there on Miss Miss, Cui Ping knows clearly. Although her temperament has changed, her body is still the same as before, and there is nothing missing, and it is indeed Miss!" Although she was a little confused about my words, she still believed that I was her miss. Hearing her words made my scalp tingle, and I got goosebumps at the thought of being seen by her.
"Cuiping, I'm not your miss, my name is Huixin, and I'm from a world you don't know. I grabbed her shoulders and looked her in the eye and told her who I really was.
"Is Miss teasing Cuiping?" she said, twinkling her eyes. I know she doesn't believe it, and I wouldn't believe it if it were me.
"You've been following Miss since you were a child, so you must know what she's good at and what she's not good at!" If she just said it, Cui Ping wouldn't believe it, so I had to prove it to her.
"Naturally, I know all about Miss, are you good at it? Miss has been good at singing and dancing since she was a child. Aren't you good at it? Female celebrities are not good!" she said earnestly.
"Is your young lady good at cooking?" I thought that the young ladies in the past didn't have to cook, and I was very good at cooking, so I asked her.
"Don't say it's cooking, Miss just smells the smell of oil smoke on Cuiping's body, and she will scold Cuiping. Cooking was something that the young lady hated very much. She pouted in reply.
"That's fine, let's go to the kitchen!" I happily pulled her out.
"Miss, you are weak, but it is better to rest. "She stopped me in a hurry and wouldn't let me out.
"It's okay, Cui Ping go quickly!" smiled and pulled her towards the back kitchen.
Alas, people in this era are really unlucky, dishes like peppers, tomatoes, potatoes can't be eaten, there are not many dishes in the kitchen, and the conditions are also very difficult, so I had to make sweet and sour pork ribs, braised eggplant, braised fish, dried fried beans, and scrambled eggs with leeks. "Eat it, can you still eat it?" At my strong request, Cui Ping was finally willing to sit at a table with me for dinner. Seeing that she was still a little embarrassed, I encouraged her to try my craft.
"Hmm!" she finally picked up her chopsticks and ate them.
"How is it? Can you still eat it, I haven't made it for a long time, I'm rusty, and I don't know if it's to your taste?" I asked anxiously when I saw her first bite of food.
"Miss's cooking is delicious!" her eyes sparkled with a sparkle of light.
"Is it really delicious?" I asked, staring at her again.
"Hmm!" she smiled and nodded at me, and I let out a long sigh of relief.
"Then you eat more, taste this, taste this!" I was so happy that I was busy serving her food.
"Miss is really not Miss?" she didn't continue eating, put down her chopsticks and stared at me solemnly.
"Uh-huh~" In order to ease the solemn atmosphere, I shrugged at her with chopsticks.
"How can there be such a miracle in the world? It's hard to believe!" she said, confused.
"I couldn't believe it when I first arrived, I thought I was being circled to make a documentary!" I told her with a smile.
"Shoot... "My words were beyond the scope of her common sense, and she couldn't understand them.
"It's something like a cabaret or something. "I'll give you a quick explanation.
"Oh! Every year there is a singing and dancing performance on the Prime Minister's birthday?
"Hey~~~ Don't talk about that. Let's eat!" I'm really hungry, and I'm afraid I'll go on and on.
"Miss, you need to eat more! You must be hungry after two days of sleep!" After listening to her words, I realized what was going on with my hunger and dizziness.
"In private, don't call me Miss! Just call me sister. I said to her as I ate.
"Miss asked Cui Ping to call Miss, sister... Sister?" She repeated in confusion as if she hadn't heard clearly.
"Yes! I'm not your lady anyway! I urged her excitedly.
"Sister... Sister!" she cried timidly, in a very small voice.
"Hey, my sister is about to eat, my sister is almost hungry!" I agreed, urging her to eat.
"Hmm!" she said shyly, picking up the dishes and chopsticks to eat, and I saw an indescribable sparkle in her eyes.
"Concubine Ai cooks herself, why don't you invite this king to try Concubine Ai's craftsmanship?" Dongfang Xun came in with a wicked smile.
"Lord Wang!" Cui Ping quickly bounced up from the chair, looking like he had done something wrong!
"Lord Wang, you are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, how can our small dishes get into your eyes!" disturbed my good interest in eating, and I looked at him unpleasantly.
"I can get in! I can get in! I am tired of eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas, so I just take the dishes of the concubine to clear my stomach. He still had a wicked smile on his face.
"Lord Wang, aren't you afraid of eating a bad stomach?" I said to him angrily.
"I'm not afraid of the concubine, what is this king afraid of!" he replied with a grin.
"Slave maid go get the dishes and chopsticks!" Cui Ping hurriedly said when she saw this.
"No need, this king can use the concubine's. As he spoke, he smiled and came to get my chopsticks.
"Alas~ Why are you like this?" I felt disgusted at the thought of sharing the dishes and chopsticks with him, and I grabbed it with him.
"Love, love, love!" in the snatch, he squeezed out a few words from the corners of his grinning mouth.
"Lord, love, love!" I smiled and squeezed out the same words.
"Poof!" "Bang!" "Bang!" In the middle of the tugging, he suddenly let go, and I fell to the ground with all four claws in the air, and the dishes and chopsticks fell to the ground, but I heard him laugh.
"You're counting me!" I yelled at him, and Cui Ping hurriedly picked me up.
"Huh... Ha... Ha, concubine... Misunderstanding, ha... Ha... Ha, concubine... On the teeth... It's so funny that the king can't help it. He was already laughing out loud.
It is an insult to me to be able to ignore a woman's feelings in such a way! Seeing his eyes narrowed into slits with a smile came to me, and I shouted at him completely ignoring the image of a lady: "You have such a bad character!
"Haha... Ha... Haha! Aifei, it's all your fault! I can't eat it now! Haha... Hah" He couldn't help but laugh again.
"You... You... You... You!" I was so angry that I was speechless for a moment.
"Hmph, how dare you humiliate Miss Ben, look at how Miss Ben cleans you up!" came to me with a bad idea.
"Lord Wang!" I screamed coquettishly, and sat down on top of him softly.
"Aifei, what's wrong?" he naturally put his arms around my waist and continued to laugh after a moment of surprise.
"Come to the prince, try the craftsmanship of the concubine!" I took advantage of his laughter and slackened my laughter, and filled the roasted eggplant I secretly held in my hand into his mouth.
"Lord, love, love!" Seeing that he was about to vomit, he pinched his mouth with his hand until he saw his throat flutter and swallowed.
"Is it delicious?" I asked him, smirkingly.
"I really didn't expect Concubine Ai's craftsmanship to be so good!Come, Concubine Ai is so hard, let's eat quickly!" he smiled evilly, grabbed a handful of dried beans and stuffed them into my mouth.
I tried to dodge, but I couldn't dodge because my waist was tightly encircled by him. I was stuffed with a mouthful full of beans, and looking at his evil smile, I refused to admit defeat, so I reached out and grabbed the ribs and stuffed them into his mouth. Dongfang Xun also refused to show weakness, grabbed the dishes on the table and stuffed them into my mouth, the two of them came and went.
"Lord Wang!" Ye Su came at this time, and we smiled at each other hypocritically, and sat down separately, the table full of dishes was no longer edible.
"Are you ready?" Dongfang Xun asked as he looked at him with a mouthful of oil.
"Concubine Li is already waiting in the front hall for the prince to set off together. Seeing Dongfang Xun's appearance, Ye Su's face instantly condensed with frost.
"This king still has something to do, Concubine Ai can eat by herself!" Dongfang Xun said to me with a wicked smile.
"Concubine, send off the prince!" I smiled and saluted him.
When he turned to leave, I suddenly remembered something, and hurried behind him and called him: "Lord Wang!"
"Aifei, what else is the matter?" he paused and turned to ask me.
"Concubine, I have offended a lot today, forget the prince Haihan!" I took out a silk handkerchief and whispered while helping him wipe the oil stains on his mouth and face.
He grabbed my wrist, and with a wicked smile, he got closer and closer to my face, and looked up into his eyes, and he looked straight at me, and I panicked when I saw it, and I instinctively turned my face to the side and didn't look at him.
"The dishes made by Concubine Ai are so delicious that this king can't stop it!", he actually licked the corners of my mouth! My head was buzzing and blank.
After Dongfang Xun laughed and left, I finally recovered and jumped at his back and yelled: "**!".
"Miss, the prince seems to like you a lot. After Dongfang Xun left, Cui Ping said to me.
"I like it, I'm afraid it's the weasel who gives the chicken a New Year's greeting--it's not good!" I retracted my emotions and said coldly.
"But he is the prince, one person is above ten thousand people, if he follows the prince, he will be glorious, rich, rich, and rich, and clothed and fed! What woman in the world does not want to follow him?" Cui Ping continued.
"Any woman in the world can follow him, but your young lady can't!" I breathed a sigh of relief, Cuiping's eyes dimmed, and she didn't speak.
"Now it is important for you and me to save their lives, because I am not Sun Xuan, and I don't know anything about her past and acquaintance. So you have to tell me everything about your young lady. I continued.
Cui Ping nodded and told me about Sun Xuan. I used to listen to Cuiping sporadically, and I never thought of having an in-depth understanding of Sun Xuan's past, this is the first time I have a comprehensive understanding of Sun Xuan. **"Where has the prince gone?Why haven't you come here yet?" Seeing that it was getting dark, Concubine Li was already impatient to wait, and anxiously paced back and forth in the hall. "The slave maid heard that the prince had been at Sun Xuan in the Splendid Garden for the past few days. Mei Shu replied.
"Sun Xuan, this slut! I don't know what kind of fox tricks were used, and the prince was fascinated, and he actually wanted to make her a side concubine. In fact, the most uncomfortable thing for Concubine Li was not that the North King wanted to canonize Sun Xuan as a side concubine, but that the North King let Sun Xuan move to the Splendid Garden. Because Splendid Garden has always been the residence of the North King, letting Sun Xuan live in the Splendid Garden is like the North King swearing his ** love for Sun Xuan.
"I've never seen the prince love his wife so much, except for his mother. Mei Shu's words pierced Concubine Li's heart like a nail.
"**Love?The prince is just a freshness, no one can get the prince's **love except me!" Concubine Li said gloomily.
"What Niangniang said is, but she came from a humble background, where is she worthy of being the prince's side concubine! Now she flies on the branches and becomes a phoenix. Mei Shu was also jealous and hateful of Sun Xuan, so she deliberately said these words to stimulate Concubine Li.
"It's really too cheap for her, but now that the Empress Dowager has made a decree, the concubine is irrevocable. "The wood is already in the boat, and Concubine Li is helpless.
"Niangniang, this is a long time coming, after all, you are the main concubine, although she is a side concubine, she is also subject to your control. Although Mei Shu is young, she is familiar with treachery and intrigue, so Concubine Li regards her as a confidant.
"Can I really only swallow this breath now, let her get her wish?!" Concubine Li naturally couldn't swallow this breath.
"Niangniang, have you come up with this bad breath?" Mei Shu already had a bad idea, but she deliberately hung up Concubine Li's appetite.
"You still know me, tell me if you have any good ideas!" A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Concubine Li's mouth, urging Mei Shu to say quickly.
"The princess and concubine are a grand ceremony! There are many ceremonies, which are related to the dignity of the royal family, and there must be no mistakes. Why didn't Niangniang ask the Empress Dowager to teach Sun Xuan the etiquette of the canonization ceremony in person?" Mei Shu said her thoughts.
"Or you have a lot of ghost ideas!" Concubine Li smiled with satisfaction, so that she could not only leave a good impression of virtue in front of the Empress Dowager, but also take the opportunity to teach Sun Xuan a lesson and establish authority in the palace, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
The master and servant were proud, and the North King had already dressed up and Ye Su came to the hall. "Concubine Ai, why are you so happy?" Dongfang Xun asked casually when he saw the smile on her face.
"The concubines haven't seen the queen and the empress dowager for a long time, and they are overjoyed to see them today. Concubine Li replied softly.
"In this way, it's not too early, let's set off quickly!" Dongfang Xun saw that it was getting dark outside, and took the group out of the Beiwang Mansion to the imperial city.
