"Licorice?! Are you okay? Although Xiao Wanyao is not heavy, she is an adult after all, and smashing on licorice is enough for her.

"Miss is fine...... The slave didn't tighten ......" Licorice helped Xiao Wanyao up, lay back on the collapse, then rubbed her shoulders and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?" It's like losing my soul. ”

Then she took a cup of herbal tea and fed it to Xiao Wanyao to drink, suppressing her shock.

At this time, Xiao Wanyao's mind was a little calm, and then she sighed and said to licorice: "I'm afraid, it was too thrilling just now." ”

Licorice raised her eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Actually, there is something I don't understand about licorice, the medicine pillow was obviously made by the second young lady, but it was taken away by them, and the second young lady still didn't let the slave maid expose them!" ”

Xiao Wanyao leaned lazily: "Exposed? What do you use to expose? ”

"We have proof! You see, Shu brocade was sent by the second master, and the medicinal materials were picked up by the slave maid at the pharmacy, and even those stitches can prove that the second lady sewed it by herself! ”

"Confused." Xiao Wanyao scolded licorice weakly, as a personal maid, Xiao Wanyao felt that this was a good time to educate her: "That is my father's birthday banquet, if you bring these family ugliness that are not enough for outsiders to the table, it will only brush your father's face, and make outsiders feel that her father has no way to discipline his family at home, and he has not done his mother's filial piety, and even the little maid dares to stand up and accuse the master...... Licorice, I know you're doing it for my good, but if I don't hold you, you'll be for yourself...... And I'm going to make a big mess......"

Licorice was stunned at first, and then knelt in front of Xiao Wanyao with red eyes: "The slave is stupid, she almost killed the young lady, it's all the slave's fault...... It's just that...... Did the second lady already plan to resign herself to fate and be controlled by others at that time? ”

Xiao Wanyao looked straight at Fang Liang, and suddenly felt sad in her heart: "I can only try my luck, if she puts other things, I don't know if I can be so lucky...... To be honest, I was scared, scared too...... The conspiracy is surging and has gone a little wrong...... I'm going to be snubbed by my father...... For a lifetime, maybe you won't be able to turn over for a lifetime. ”

Licorice wiped her tears and choked up: "No, no, didn't the second miss survive?" When the second lady quietly wrote the method of making ink in the palm of the slave's hand, the slave and maid already knew that the second lady had a way to save herself, and the slave and maid knew...... The extremely smart second lady will be fine! ”

Hearing this, Xiao Wanyao got up and held Licorice's hand, and said: "Thanks to your cleverness and understanding what I mean, fortunately, I went through the ancient books and accidentally saw the ancients' method of painting on the cloth without blurring, I will tell you here, you can also understand it so quickly, Licorice, thank you." ”

Licorice pursed her lips a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Our master and servant honor and disgrace are one, and the slave and maid help you to help yourself...... It's just that the second lady's left-handed painting can be so exquisite, and isn't there no one who can match the right-handed painting?! ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled bitterly, she didn't know what to say.

Maybe everyone will think that she is a genius, but no one knows, in the previous life, as a concubine, in order to attract the emperor's attention, she demanded that she had practiced calligraphy and painting for 14 years, and she was not left-handed, but her right hand was crippled, so she had to use her left hand, and finally did not show a stroke in front of the emperor, she thought it was a pity, but she didn't expect that the will of heaven was to let her sow in her previous life, but the harvest was in this life.

"It's just a coincidence." Xiao Wanyao said lightly.

Licorice's mood calmed down slightly, and then said: "It's a pity that the slave maid will go to make ink, and I haven't heard the sound of the second lady's piano. ”

Xiao Wanyao was in a cheerful mood and said with a smile: "My piano skills are ordinary and not worth listening to." ”

Licorice was unwilling and continued: "But those adults are all scholars, and they also know the rhythm of music, if the second lady's piano skills are ordinary, how can she be sought after by all the adults?" ”

"Because ......" Xiao Wanyao was hooked by her words, and couldn't help but think of the past.

That happened not long after Xiao Wanyao entered the palace in her previous life, she listened to the emperor in the Xuanshu Hall and thought it sounded good, and the next day it happened that the emperor was feasting the ministers, and the interest caused her to play the qin again, which was highly sought after by the ministers.

It just so happened that she heard this behind the heavy curtain, but she didn't think that the music was better than the day before, but she was less emotional, and it was just normal.

At that time, relying on her grace, she was also outspoken to the emperor, which led to a subsequent dialogue.

"According to Wan Yao, the music played by the saint today is not as good as a few days ago." Xiao Wanyao leaned on the soft collapse and asked.

After hearing this, the emperor smiled: "Oh? So Yu'er thinks so? My courtiers still think I'm good! ”

Xiao Wanyao had a smile in her eyes: "The concubine thinks that first, they haven't heard the music of the saint a few days ago, and there is no comparison; Second, the saint is the Son of Heaven, so he ......"

"So they don't dare to speak as bluntly as you Yu'er, right?"

Xiao Wanyao was silent and did not deny it.

The emperor said: "Actually, it's not......"

Xiao Wanyao returned to reality from her memories and said to Licorice: "They are sought after because they have something to ask for me, and the other is that I am so mysterious that these vassal and elegant people have no courage to say that I am not good." ”

Licorice was still puzzled: "Second Miss, the slave maid still doesn't understand, although Miss is the prime minister's daughter, they are also court officials, how can they ask for Miss Er?" ”

A cold look flashed in Xiao Wanyao's eyes, and she said: "The political marriage is a piece of fat, even the emperor covets this fat, let alone these court officials?" They did as I pleased, and they did it to win my favor...... I'm going to get married after all...... No matter whose son I marry, for them, I was taken care of by my father. ”

Licorice nodded, the two of them knew that the fate of the woman in time had always been like this, marrying someone was always for the benefit of the family, and they had no right to choose at all......

Even if it is the second lady Xiao Wanyao, behind her seemingly beautiful scenery is infinite sadness.

Xiao Wanyao continued: "Besides, when it comes to music, there is no hard and fast standard for music in the world to stipulate who is good and who is bad, and those with good piano skills are just superb skills, so I will find a song that avoids superb piano skills, and then integrate into it with emotion and momentum, they have not yet reached a high level, so naturally they dare not say that I play badly." ”

That's what the emperor taught her back then, and she said the same thing to others.

Xiao Wanyao knows that everything she does is a game, and winning or losing is not only a contest of scheming, but also a comparison of who is stronger in his heart.

Xiao Wanrou and Liu Ruyun's quarrel did not bring much benefit to themselves, but they fulfilled others with vicious intentions.

Xiao Wanyao has become a topic of conversation among officials in the imperial capital since the birthday banquet, and she has become a famous talented woman in the imperial capital overnight, and people who come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose relatives have also begun to flow endlessly.

Xiao Wanyao lived comfortably in the house all day long, because Xiao Man hadn't promised any of them until now, and she looked like she was pretentious.

"Second Miss, aren't you in a hurry?" Watching Xiao Wanyao watering the flowers in the yard, her appearance of not asking about the world made Licorice a little anxious.

Xiao Wanyao replied absentmindedly: "What am I anxious about? It's rare that those two madmen don't come to me to make trouble, and of course I'm happy to have a good time. ”

"But now there are so many people who come to propose marriage, and no one has been chosen, and the second lady doesn't know who the future husband is." Licorice Road.

Xiao Wanyao was confused for a moment, and then replied calmly: "It's not up to me to decide who to marry, we can only trust our father's vision, and when we get married, I will try to live a good life." ”

That being said, Xiao Wanyao was still unwilling in her heart.

These days have been really peaceful, Xiao Wanrou has not had the slightest news about her injury, and they have not come to disturb Xiao Wanyao's peaceful life, the only thing that makes her happy is that the scar on her right hand has faded and is almost invisible.

Xiao Wanyao sat in the corridor, the warm sunlight poured into the courtyard, she raised her right hand to look carefully in the sun, she could only see a faint trace on the back of her hand, if you don't distinguish it carefully, you basically can't see that her hand has been injured.

"God forbid." Licorice also looked at it all, "The second lady's hand has not only recovered, but also has not even left a scar, that ointment is really useful." ”

Xiao Wanyao raised her eyebrows and said, "Where is there no scar?" Isn't this a scar? ”

Licorice looked at it carefully and said with a smile: "It's the second miss who is too picky, but it's always good to keep improving, but it's a pity that the ointment I made a while ago is gone, and the slave has prepared the medicinal materials, otherwise I will help the second miss make some?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Wanyao smiled at the licorice, "You have a heart." ”

Licorice smiled: "It's all as it should be, the second lady is serious." ”

As she spoke, Licorice picked up the teapot in the cloister and saw that there was not much water in it, so she called the maid to come and pour the water, and it was none other than Fluttershy, who had been scolded by Licorice last time.

Fluttershy hurriedly picks up the teapot, and Licorice scolds her with a cold face, "Last time I scolded you for not helping you remember for a long time, but you are becoming more and more careless, and I don't know what you are busy with all day, and you don't see anyone all day long......"

Fluttershy scolds her with her head down and licorice for a long time.

Xiao Wanyao does not stop Licorice, and takes care of herself and waters the flowers leisurely, until Licorice pinchs Fluttershy's chin, and Xiao Wanyao is stunned when she sees Fluttershy's face.

"Smack!" The porcelain lake in Xiao Wanyao's hand fell to the ground and shattered, but she didn't realize it at all, just stared at Fluttershy blankly.

At this time, Fluttershy was only fourteen years old, her appearance was still immature, in the previous life, she followed Xiao Wanyao into the palace, Xiao Wanyao regarded her as a sister, and allowed her to change back to her name before entering the palace, so that her food and clothing were the best among the palace maids, but she betrayed Xiao Wanyao, quietly, like a bottle of chronic poison that exuded a fragrance, and did not let the drinker notice until she died.

If it weren't for Empress Xue's murderous intentions to tell her back then, maybe she didn't know until now that she, a maid who had been in love with her sisters for many years, was the last straw that crushed her camel.

By the way, Fluttershy's original name was Tsing Yi. I1483
