Chapter 44
In Junchen Palace, Wen Ru's appearance was clearly reflected in front of the long mirror, and the set on her body was exactly the begonia red that Wen Rao wanted to buy.
"Niangniang, it's so beautiful, the slave has never seen anything more beautiful than you." Yingxiu praised.
"The color is so charming, not for me?" Wen Ru frowned slightly, she liked it, but the color was too bright.
"Niangniang, don't you know, this skirt came for some reason." Yingxiu said.
"Why?"
"This is the skirt that Wen Rao wanted, and Father-in-law Li was already going to agree to her, but the slave just reported the name of the mother, and Father-in-law Li gave the skirt to the slave and maid very wisely." Yingxiu was quite proud.
"You say, this is what my sister wants?" Wen Ru looked at Yingxiu in the mirror.
Yingxiu nodded and said flatteringly: "Yes, she is angry." ”
"Come here." Wen Ru commanded.
Yingxiu took a step forward, Wen Ru turned around and raised her hand to give her a slap, which made her blind.
"Who allowed you to embarrass her?" Wen Ru's face was as cold as ice in an instant.
"It's not ......," Yingxiu covered her face and hurriedly tried to defend.
"If you do things like this without brains, don't blame me for not thinking about love for so many years." Wen Ru raised her hand and slowly removed the dander from her fingertips.
Behind her, Yingxiu trembled and took away the hand covering her face, and saw three blood marks in her palm.
She knelt behind Wen Ru with a puff and pressed her head very low.
"If I hear someone outside saying that I am Wen Ru bullying my sister, you can get out of here." A cold light flashed in her eyes.
Yingxiu said yes again and again, but she didn't dare to talk back.
Wen Ru opened her arms and looked at herself in the mirror again, and she found that this dress was so suitable for her and into her eyes.
She had no intention of arguing, Wen Ru curled the corners of her lips and smiled harmlessly.
Wen Rao still wanted to return the golden bead to Changsheng, but this time it was useless, but the matter was solved in another way.
Changsheng was working with her in a palace during the day, his hands and feet were numb, Wen Rao went to look for him when he happened to come out of the corner, Wen Rao shouted that he hadn't noticed yet, and when he heard it, he saw that it was Wen Rao, and he was startled, and he looked quite weak.
"How did you get here?" Changsheng asked.
"I came to you to return this gold bead to you, the dance dress is too expensive, I can't afford it, but Gonggong Li is good, he gave me free materials, which are also very valuable, so now I don't have to worry about the skirt." Wen Rao said.
"You can use it." Changsheng's tone was a little stiff, and his face was a little unnatural.
"I'm really sorry, we're all in the same group, I shouldn't always see you as someone else, but this won't be needed for a while, you can put it away first." Wen Rao handed him the bag containing the gold beads, and he didn't reach out to take it after waiting for a long time.
She stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and pressed it into his palm.
"It doesn't matter if you're angry with me, it's my fault." Wen Rao said.
"No, no, miss." Changsheng blushed suddenly, and his hand shrank back, a little embarrassed.
Wen Rao saw that his attitude was relaxed, and her heart was slightly relieved, and she promised: "You watch, I will do my best." ”
"Hmm." Changsheng naturally believed her, he thought that he must have spoken too much before, and just wanted to blame himself for a few words, when he saw someone coming, his face suddenly turned bad again, and he turned to Wen Rao: "Miss, you go first, someone is looking for me." ”
Wen Rao turned her head to look and saw several eunuchs looking around as if they were looking for someone, she wanted to ask Changsheng, but Changsheng seemed to be in a hurry, and she had to avoid it.
Walking into the distance, she turned back again, and sure enough, she saw those people walking to Changsheng's side, although she couldn't hear what they said, but their faces were fierce and vicious, and they looked a little ill-intentioned.
Wen Rao was a little uneasy, and wanted to ask Changsheng in private.
On Changsheng's side, he was dealing with the person in front of him, and at the same time paying attention to Wen Rao with his residual vision, and it was not until Wen Rao left that he squeezed out a smile and said, "Everyone, are these enough?" As he spoke, he poured out the gold beads that Wen Rao had just given him and handed them to the other party.
The other party snorted coldly and said, "It's pretty much the same!" Let's go! ”
Changsheng Fang breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't let Wen Rao know, otherwise he really didn't know how to explain it clearly.
This group of people had not gone far, and another group of people came out of the corner where he had just walked out, and said, "Changsheng, your luck is not good today, and you will make an appointment in the evening." ”
Changsheng nodded perfunctorily.
In response to Qi Yao's demand, Wen Rao brought a plate of jade plum cake from the dining room, which was soft and fragrant.
Pastries have always been a woman's favorite thing, and she hadn't even seen Qi Yao eat it, so she felt strange when he ordered it today.
She was carrying the food box, and Father-in-law Gao gave her a look, Wen Rao was puzzled, but before she entered the house, she heard a burst of silver bells and Qi Yao's ...... Laughter.
In her eyes, Qi Yao is a man who rarely laughs, even if he laughs, it is meaningless, he will laugh badly and sneer, laugh so cheerfully, she thought about it, and she could say that she had never seen it once.
She sighed in her heart, and with an inexplicable uneasiness, she slowly walked in.
The hall was still the same, and Qi Yao was still sitting in the same position, but there was an extra blue shadow beside him, wearing a somewhat ill-fitting eunuch suit, and without dissipating Wen Rao's inquiry, he saw through the other party's daughter at a glance.
Wen Rao has been looking at this for a long time.
The woman was originally tugging on Qi Yao's arm and coquettishly, but suddenly felt that Youdao's eyes had been sticking to her, but she was startled when she turned her head and stood behind Qi Yao uneasily.
Qi Yao looked up and saw Wen Rao, he subconsciously restrained the smile on his face, which suddenly formed a sharp contrast with Fang Cai.
"Put things down." He said.
Wen Rao reacted in a daze, hurriedly stepped forward, opened the food box, the woman looked at her quietly, her heart became more and more impatient, her left hand took out the plate but knocked on the handle, the hand slipped, half of the pastry was sprinkled on the table, and half of it was broken on the ground along with the plate, a mess.
She packed up in a panic, and as soon as she picked up a piece of debris, she heard Qi Yao's extremely unhappy voice.
"Get out!"
Wen Rao was yelled at by him, and then lowered her head and retreated.
Gao Lu seemed to hear the movement inside, and when he saw her coming out empty-handed, he couldn't help but ask a few words, "What's wrong with Fang Cai?" ”
"I broke the pastry." Wen Rao said in a low voice.
"Ouch, this ......" It stands to reason that Gao Lu should scold her, but the person in front of her is not someone else, it is Wen Rao.
He couldn't scold anymore, so he turned around and ordered a little eunuch, so that the people in the dining room quickly made another plate.
Fortunately, there was a surplus from before, and the little eunuch was fast, and a hot plate of pastries was delivered.
Gao Lu glanced at Wen Rao, and he personally carried the plate of pastries in.
After a while, he came out with a pile of residues, which was the mess that Wen Rao had before.
After a long while, Gao Lu was called in again, and when she came out again, the woman left behind Gao Lu, and when she passed by Wen Rao's side, she still swept her curiously.
Gao Lu glanced at Wen Rao and let Wen Rao go in to serve.
Wen Rao hesitated a little, went in slowly, and saw that Qi Yao's face was still not very good.
Maybe Fang Fang was good, but he was not happy with anyone other than the woman.
"You did it on purpose." Qi Yao was a little displeased.
"The slave is just ...... Distracted. Wen Rao said.
"You dare to wander in front of the emperor, you are so bold." Qi Yao said.
Wen Rao had no way to defend herself.
Qi Yao suddenly walked towards her, stopping in front of her, provoking her chin and making her look directly at him.
"I don't like you to talk with your head down, I don't know what you think." He said.
Wen Rao doesn't like to watch him talk, and it is for this reason that she is afraid that whatever she thinks will be known by him.
"What do you want to know, slave and maid tell you that you are." She said.
"I wonder why you were so clumsy and scared her." He said.
Wen Rao was silent and said, "The slave is wandering." ”
The strength on his chin suddenly disappeared, and Qi Yao seemed to have exhausted the last bit of patience.
"Since you're so absent-minded, you'd better go back and rest." Qi Yao sneered.
Wen Rao's heart suddenly cooled, and when she saw him turn around, she subconsciously grabbed his hand, making him stunned.
"I ......," she hesitated, not daring to speak, but when she saw that he wanted to break free of her hand, she blurted out, "I am jealous." ”
Qi Yao turned around and looked at her with a hint of inexplicability flashing in his eyes, "Are you jealous of her?" ”
"She can make you laugh in a way that no one else can, and she's probably unique to you." Wen Rao said, her head lowered again.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Qi Yao was amused and distressed, and reached out and gently hooked her into his arms.
"You are so easy to get vinegar, there are so many beauties in my harem, and you don't have a few vinegar on weekdays."
Wen Rao also wondered, there were so many women in the harem, and she didn't have a few vinegars, why was she so uneasy today.
"She is not someone else, she is Jiayu, this time she went to pray with the Queen Mother, and she sneaked back from Fo'an Temple. She is timid, if I don't play with her, I'm afraid she will scare her guts. Qi Yao said.
Jiayu is his younger sister, and she is the most timid princess when she hears that she is beautiful.
"You're still throwing dishes in front of her, and she might have another nightmare at night and come to me to complain."
