Chapter VIII: The Rouge Incident
After Mama Wang was wronged, she went to the kitchen to find the maids to be angry: "Stand up for me and say, which of you has done something in the princess's food, one by one is a disgusting dead embryo, and the old lady who was harmed was wronged, if you don't give me an honest explanation today, all of them will go to get the board, say, say quickly, who is it?" ”
Mama Wang was teaching a group of maids, a little maid wearing a pink maid costume and a graceful figure came to the kitchen, and saw Mama Wang teaching people, so she asked: "Mama Wang, what's the matter, it's so hot." ”
Mama Wang looked back and saw that it was the little maid in the princess's courtyard, so she immediately stopped and whispered: "There are a few maids whose hands and feet are not clean, and I am teaching them a lesson." ”
Xi'er nodded and said, "Mama Wang taught the maid a lesson, and Xi'er won't bother." ”
With that, he took his tea and walked out of the kitchen.
Just now, Mama Wang taught the maids what she said, and Xi'er heard it, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and returned to the princess's courtyard with tea and a good mood.
In the past few days, she pretended to be on the board and was lying on the bed with no energy, Lu Mingyue said that she wanted to go out for a walk, so she asked Xi'er to accompany her.
Xi'er obediently followed behind Lu Mingyue, Lu Mingyue put on a scarf, covering half of her face, only revealing two smart eyes, wearing a moon-white gauze skirt, and went out.
Lu Mingyue walked slowly on the lively street, and the sound of selling could be heard everywhere.
"Buy a sugar gourd, a sweet and sour sugar gourd!"
"Buy xiaolongbao, fragrant and delicious xiaolongbao!"
"Kites, codex kites, tigers, lotuses, birds of all shapes, come and see!"
…… Lu Mingyue walked and stopped, walking to the vendor's stall from time to time to take a look, and Xi'er paid attention to Lu Mingyue's every move.
Lu Mingyue stopped at the stall selling rouge gouache, stretched out her jade hand, picked up a box of rouge and played with it.
As soon as the vendor saw that there was business, he immediately opened his mouth and said flattering words: "Miss has a really good eye, this is the best rouge I have here, it is made of peach blossoms in early spring, you see the powder is delicate, a touch of melting, if Miss applies it to her face, it is guaranteed to be as pink as the peach blossoms in March, Miss has a box?" ”
The hawker's mouth seemed to be smeared with a layer of honey, Lu Mingyue was unmoved, still playing somewhere, and didn't say whether to buy it or not.
The peddler continued to boast: "I have rouge ...... here"
Lu Mingyue didn't wait for the hawker to finish speaking, turned around and left, the hawker had already held back the fire in his belly, and his saliva was dry, so he just looked at it and didn't buy it, he was angry, Lu Mingyue's sleeve accidentally swept over a rouge box, and only listened to "Bang Bang Dang"
The rouge box fell to the ground, and the rouge inside also fell to the ground and stuck to dust.
The peddler immediately yelled at Lu Mingyue with a fierce attitude: "Seeing that you are dressed extraordinarily, I thought that you were a young lady from a rich family, just forget it if you don't buy it for a long time, and you will get my rouge to the ground, and you will pay for my rouge." ”
Before Lu Mingyue could speak, Xi'er on the side immediately said: "What do you say, our absolute princess is what you can say, what's wrong with getting your rouge off, you can only watch when you lift your stall, what are you staring at!" ”
Xi'er opened her mouth and yelled at the vendor, and the vendor became more and more angry.
"You, you, don't rely on yes, it's the royal people who bully us ordinary people, I sue you, the Son of Heaven is still guilty of the same crime as the commoners, what's the big deal about you being a princess!"
The peddler was also stunned.
Lu Mingyue saw that the people around her were gathering more and more, bent down, picked up the rouge box on the ground, put it on the stall, and said slightly: "It's my fault to get rid of your things, my maid is really offended if she is offended, I only have so many silver taels on me, all of them are given to you, and I don't know if it is enough, I hope you don't care about it for the sake of the people who are also in the Wing Kingdom." ”
Lu Mingyue's tone was kind and smooth, and she gave the hawker enough steps.
The hawker also knew each other, took the silver tael, and saw that it was enough for their family's living expenses for a few years, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "It's the villain who doesn't know Mount Tai, it's all a misunderstanding just now, and I hope the princess won't blame the villain." ”
Lu Mingyue raised the corners of her mouth lightly under the light veil: "Thank you, little brother, for your leniency!" ”
Although the peddler couldn't see Lu Mingyue's clear face, through the tulle, he was also captured by the shallow smile that seemed to be nothing, and he was fixed there, and he didn't react until Lu Mingyue left.
Back in the palace, Xi'er knelt in front of Lu Mingyue and cried miserably, it was really a pitiful little appearance that I saw, how could people bear to blame.
Jinxin on the side stared at her with scrutinizing eyes: "You are quite bold, the master has not spoken, you are the master of the master, what is the stall is only watching, do you think the master is a street gangster, are you deliberately causing trouble for the master, say, what kind of heart do you have?" ”
