Chapter 56: Princess Miaoshu (Today's Eighth Watch, Asking for a Monthly Pass Update)
The woman in front of her is dressed in bamboo blue clothes, her melon seed face is small and delicate, her fair skin is picturesque, her face is like a peach blossom, her fragrant lips are refreshing, and her cheeks are fragrant.
"No—nothing, just not big—not used to the hustle! Let the girl laugh! Pei Yao clenched her fists and apologized, a little nervous.
"Girl? Hahahaha! The woman covered her mouth and chuckled, and a romance was on her brow.
Pei Yao was stunned by her laughter for a while, and she didn't understand what the woman meant, and continued to arch her hands stiffly.
Perhaps the woman saw the embarrassment on Pei Yao's face, held back her laughter, shook her sleeves and stood beside her, and calmly explained with a low breath: "I'm not a girl!" You'll have to call me Auntie! ”
"Auntie—aunt?" Pei Yao repeated in surprise, but she didn't quite understand in her heart: This, what the hell?
While the woman walked in front of her with a light smile, she gently tapped the cinnabar mole on her eyebrows with her slender right index finger, and her voice was like a wind chime: "Little girl's family, what is in the melon of the little head?" My memory is so bad! Next time you shout wrong, I won't spare you! ”
Looking at the distinguished guests who walked towards the Chen Mansion like a willow in the wind and greeted them enthusiastically, Pei Yao's mind was blank: Why did she say that I have a bad memory? What does "again" mean? Have we seen this before?
The courtyard of the Chen Mansion was full of banquets, and the family and maids kept shuttling back and forth with trays, making this not too big courtyard even more crowded and lively. Chen Zhiman specially set up a stage in front of the banquet for the Liyuan opera troupe invited at a high price to entertain the full guests. The girls of the troupe are already preparing behind the stage. If you look closely enough, you can see the colorful skirts of the girls as they move through the cracks in the curtains.
"Who is that woman in a bamboo-blue shirt? Why do you want me to call her aunt? Pei Yao walked over and gently poked Mu Chuyu's armpit with her elbow, and her eyes never left the amorous woman in her mouth.
"You're fast! Have you washed your hands? Mu Chuyu habitually teased her with disgust, and then his eyes fell on the woman in Tsing Yi, and his expression froze for a moment, but his tone remained relaxed, "She, she is Aunt Yao!" It's Master's concubine! People are older than you, and it's not an exaggeration for you to call her aunt! ”
"But she looks about my age!" Pei Yao pouted unconvinced.
"Ahem, ahem! You- you haven't seen her before? Mu Chuyu cleared his throat and asked deliberately.
Pei Yao was stunned, and looked up at him in a daze: "No!" ”
"Oh!" Mu Chuyu looked absent-minded, as if she was on her mind.
"She's Lord Chen's concubine, how could I have seen her? You ask that, do you think I should have seen her? Pei Yao asked vigilantly.
Mu Chuyu licked her lips, looked at Aunt Yao without Pei Yao's eyes, and said nonsense: "She-she was the one before she married into the Chen Mansion-Qi Fengsu's godmother!" ”
Pei Yao was dumbfounded: There is still this stubble......
Aunt Yao was talking happily with a certain adult in the household department, she seemed to have eyes behind her back, and as if she had heard the conversation between the two, she turned her head and winked at them and smiled lightly, which made the two of them shudder. Her eyes seemed to say: The little bunny is actually saying bad things about me behind my back! Don't think I didn't hear it!
Mu Chuyu nodded at Aunt Yao embarrassedly, and reluctantly pulled out a smile: Seniors forgive sins, I will slap my mouth for talking nonsense, don't be angry!
"What you just said is true?" Pei Yao was still a little unconvinced.
"It's true!" Mu Chuyu's eyes widened: Is it true or not, do you still have to go to verify?
"Cut!" Pei Yao habitually smacked him: Don't think that the wider your eyes open, the more true what you say! Maybe there are no three hundred taels of silver here!
Song Keci, who had been hanging on the side for a while, tugged at Mu Chuyu's sleeve, looked left and right and reminded: "Maybe we can find a place to sit down!" ”
"Hmm!"
Mu Chuyu led Song Keci and Pei Yao to sit down at the main seat, and it was natural for him to sit there as Chen Zhiman's proud disciple!
The three of them sat down for only a moment, and a woman in a concubine-colored shirt walked up to Pei Yao and sat down unceremoniously: "Brother Mu, where did you go to such a beautiful little girl, and this delicate little boy?" ”
The woman held her cheeks and stared straight at Pei Yao's face, it was the first time that Pei Yao was molested like this, if it weren't for "good men don't fight with women", she really couldn't hold her breath and would move.
"What do you mean by crutches? This pretty little girl is my cousin, her name is Coco! He pointed to Song Keci, who was sitting on his right hand, and Song Keci smiled and nodded.
However, the woman withdrew her gaze after glancing at Song Keci, she seemed to be more interested in Pei Yao. Without waiting for Mu Chuyu's grand introduction, she nodded Pei Yao with her chin: "What about you?" Who are you? ”
"Me? I—his cousin! Mu Yan! Pei Yao glanced at the paper fan in her hand, the words "mountains have trees" gave her this inspiration, and she swallowed her saliva before responding in a low voice.
"My name is Miaoshu, you can call me Miaomiao or Xiaoshu! That—I'll call you Brother Yan! Miao Shu looked at Pei Yao sweetly, her eyes clear enough to reflect the sun's rays.
"It's—it's not good......" Pei Yao moved the bench to Mu Chuyu's side a little shyly.
"You reject me?" Miao Shu put down her hand in disbelief.
"He's not rejecting you! You're so enthusiastic, who will be embarrassed by this! Master and Master are here! The feast has begun, so don't say a word! Mu Chuyu stepped forward to block this abrasive problem for Pei Yao.
At this time, Pei Yao's head was of course like pounding garlic.
After Chen Zhiman and his wife came over and sat down, that Miao Shu really settled down a lot, although Pei Yao would still receive her ambiguous eyes from time to time.
"She's so afraid of Master Chen! Is it because she is your junior sister? Pei Yao asked beside Mu Chuyu, because she heard Mu Chuyu pressing her with the word "Master".
"That's right! He's my sister! And she is also the current emperor's own sister, Princess Miaoshu! Mu Chuyu covered her mouth with her backhand and whispered to her.
"Princess?" Pei Yao whispered, "I don't want to be a female colt!" After a pause, he shuddered and asked, "I just offended her and won't be beheaded, right?" Why don't I ask her for forgiveness now? ”
"If you want to die, please be safe now!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"What Miao Shu hates the most is that others don't respect her behavior of going out on patrol, and whoever asks her outside the palace is disrespecting her!"
"W-what quirk?"
"You two, stop talking to me and you! Lord Chen is watching you! Song Keci lightly touched Mu Chuyu's arm, and the dissatisfaction on his face jumped.
Upon hearing this, the two of them immediately straightened their backs, smiled awkwardly, and sat more upright than anyone else.
