==Chapter 35==

The king of Chu did not take over the matter, but handed it over to Chang Shun.

Since then, Chang Shun began to teach the girl to 'babble', starting from the three-character scripture, so in this gorgeously furnished room, from time to time there will always be a girl's immature voice reading 'the beginning of man, the nature is good'.

Xiao Jiuniang was full of complaints, she originally wanted to communicate with King Chu more and cultivate her feelings, how did she become a relationship with this Chang Dazhuang.

Chang Shun, one of the personal attendants of the King of Chu, was known as Chang Dazhuang before entering the palace. As his name suggests, he has a strong physique and a burly body, not at all like the feminine chamberlain in the palace. Serving by the side of the King of Chu since childhood, although he is not as knowledgeable and talented as the King of Chu, he also knows a few words, anyway, there is no problem in teaching Xiao Jiuniang, who is 'illiterate'.

Xiao Jiuniang's original idea was to be close to the King of Chu, people are habitual animals, and if he brushes and saves his sense in front of his master, he will feel extremely kind. Kind to the point that it is not impossible to bring her under her wing.

Of course, there is also a purpose, that is, the big man himself is illiterate, and the people in these lingyuan more or less know it. Don't look at what she can say when she fools the lotus branch, but she can't stand the attention and investigation of people with a heart, so letting the King of Chu be her enlightenment teacher is a good reason, and it can also show that the King of Chu is unusual to himself.

If there is no harm in benefiting and harmless, Xiao Jiuniang will naturally not let it go. The only thing that made her unhappy was that this enlightenment teacher was replaced by Chang Shun, although it was not different who taught her between the King of Chu and Chang Shun, anyway, what she wanted was that, and no one knew who taught Jiu Niang behind closed doors.

But he is Chang Da Zhuang, he is the one who competes with her for the master's attention, and he is still an old rival for two lifetimes!

However, Xiao Jiuniang naturally can't express this kind of feeling, after all, she is Xiao Jiuniang who 'wants to read', and the King of Chu is indeed 'as she wishes'.

She can only accept it, not say no.

This insidious King of Chu!

Jiuniang looked at the three-character scripture in front of her sadly, and recited it silently in her mouth. As everyone knows, his appearance has long been included in the eyes of the person not far away, and a ghostly light flashed in his eyes.

Chang Shun's voice came from the outer room, and someone knocked on the door, so Chang went to the outer room by the way.

Xiao Jiuniang was curious about who was coming, when she saw Chang Shun walk in and said, "Your Highness, there is a person who claims to be your cousin who has come to ask for a meeting. ”

When he said this, he also deliberately glanced at Jiu Niang.

Xiao Jiuniang suddenly exploded and raised her head, "Apart from Jiuniang, is there anyone else who is His Royal Highness's cousin?" ”

seems to be innocent, but in fact, it looks a little smiling and not smiling.

This is often big and strong, and it is not interesting!

Chang Shun hesitated and said, "This ...... The person who came did seem to be His Royal Highness's cousin, the eighth lady of the Xiao family. ”

Chang Shuncai won't be honest and say that he said that on purpose, he didn't forget that time he was tricked by this little girl and lost face in front of His Highness. Xiao Jiuniang naturally saw Chang Shun's dark thoughts, and couldn't help glaring at the other party, but she couldn't stop it. What Chang Shun said is indeed right, Xiao Banniang is also the 'cousin' of the King of Chu, just like her.

His eyes involuntarily moved to the body of King Chu, and he saw that he was still looking like he was looking down and reading a book, and his eyebrows and eyes were calm and waveless.

"Nope."

Hearing this, Xiao Jiuniang couldn't help but show a small smile.

This smile was incorporated into the corner of King Chu's eyes.

……

Outside the door, Xiao Banniang watched the door in front of her slowly close, and the expression on her face was finally hard to see.

She knew that Xiao Jiuniang was inside, and it must have been this despicable and shameless person who prevented the cousin of King Chu from seeing her!

Xiao Banniang was ashamed and angry in her heart, but she did not give up what she thought. Sister Yin is right, people are different, a few of them seem to be almost the same as Xiao Sanniang's status, but in fact, everyone can feel the gap between them. They don't have a strong maternal family, and they are not considered descendants from the roots, so they have to fight for everything themselves, otherwise, they can only end up with a sister of the same clan in the future.

No one wants to be the green leaves in the green leaves of flowers, no matter how high the status of the concubine is, she is also a concubine, the concubine Cui of the big house and the mother of the big house Cui are sisters with the same surname, and they both belong to the Qinghe Cui family, just because one is a concubine and the other is a concubine, so she ended up being a concubine.

The king of Chu is the only man that several people can contact at present, and he is the respect of the prince and prince, although he suffers from leg disease, he is handsome and noble, and it is said that the king of Chu can walk before, and the leg disease has only appeared recently, and there are so many skilled doctors in the palace, so this leg disease is not a big problem.

What Xiao Jiuniang was thinking, Xiao Banniang knew very well. With such a great opportunity in front of her, she will not give it up, and it is impossible for her to give it up.

Shaw! Nine! Mother!

You have robbed my sister of her place, and I will definitely not lose to you this time!

Saying word by word in his heart, Xiao Banniang turned around and left.

*

Early in the morning, Xiao Jiuniang got up.

Before Lianzhi came to serve her and dressed, she went to the window, pushed the window sash open, and greeted a fresh and slightly moist air, which made people feel refreshed.

"Lady, now that the weather is getting colder, you are wearing your bedclothes to blow the wind, be careful of catching a cold."

Lotus Branch came in with a copper basin, and behind her was a small maidservant girl with a tray in her hand on which were placed all the toiletries. Lianzhi first served Jiu Niang to rinse her mouth and clean her face, and helped her put on emollient facial oil, and then went to serve her to dress behind the screen.

When she came out from behind the screen, Xiao Jiuniang completely changed her appearance, with a pink pink skirt, long ink-colored hair, lined with snow-like skin and a delicate little face the size of a palm, adding a delicate beauty that belonged to a girl.

After combing his hair, he went to the desk for breakfast.

Breakfast is very simple, that is, japonica rice and red date porridge and a few pasta side dishes. While Xiao Jiuniang was having breakfast, she instructed Lianzhi: "Pack up the few things I gave you yesterday, and I will go to His Royal Highness the King of Chu later." ”

Lianzhi answered, went to the side to pick it up, and the maidservant girl had already gone down.

After breakfast, Lianzhi brought water and saliva to serve Jiu Niang to rinse her mouth, she took a white cotton handkerchief to wipe the water stains on the corner of Jiu Niang's mouth, thought about it, and went to get a box of lipstick.

"The lady is always reluctant to wipe these, but the maid sees that other little ladies are dressed up beautifully, so she also brought a set when she went out this time. The clothes you are wearing today are brightly colored, rub this peach-pink lipstick, and apply a thin layer of it, it will definitely look better. ”

The lotus branch chattered, opened the small porcelain round box in his hand on one hand, and took a five-inch long and extremely small and slender thing in the other hand, which was somewhat similar to a small wolf pen that had shrunk several times, dipped it in the porcelain box, and then painted it on Jiuniang's lips.

applied a layer lightly, and saw that the girl's originally pale pink and somewhat pale lips immediately became bright. Xiao Jiuniang's complexion is pale, she seems to have no blood, and she never rubs grease and powder on weekdays, and she is lined with a somewhat pale lip color, which always looks not very good. At this time, she smeared this light peach-colored lipstick, and suddenly her face immediately looked good, adding a delicate atmosphere that belongs to a girl.

Lianzhi looked at it seriously for a while, and then went to the makeup to take a few pieces of jewelry, one of which was a small golden hairpin, a small pink butterfly, the butterfly wings were as thin as cicada wings, and they trembled slightly in her hand. She saw that Jiu Niang's bun already had two beaded flowers, so she inserted this golden hairpin in the position behind the left side. From the front, you can see the pink butterflies looming, very smart.

The other two are a pair of earrings, which seem to be a set of butterfly hairpins, and they are also two small pink butterflies, hanging on Jiuniang's pink and small earlobes, reflecting each other with the butterfly behind the head.

Jiu Niang's eyes were a little weird, looking at Lianzhi's extraordinarily serious face.

Lotus Branches can't be misunderstood, right?

However, her behavior in recent days is indeed easy to misunderstand!

I was a little embarrassed in my heart, could it be that in Lianzhi's mind, her lady is such a thoughtful person, and at such a young age, she knows how to 'plan' for herself?

can think of the jealous eyes of Xiao Banniang when she met Xiao Banniang in the past two days, Jiuniang felt that it seemed to be so. It's just that she only appeared when she was fourteen in her last life, and all she wanted to do in the early years was to live, how could she understand what the little ladies of this age thought in their hearts. According to Xiao Banniang's thoughts, it doesn't seem strange that they are 'planning' for themselves at this age.

After a while, Lianzhi went to pick up the wooden tote on the side. Xiao Jiuniang had no choice but to stand up and walk out. Stepping out of the door, Lianzhi cautiously handed the suitcase into Jiu Niang's hands, her eyes full of encouragement, as if Xiao Jiuniang was going to do something big.

In fact, Jiuniang is just going to the king of Chu, she has finished learning the three-character scripture in the past two days, Chang Shun is teaching her to write, and what is in this box is just pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things. Because the room of the King of Chu is not far from here, and Xiao Jiuniang never takes the lotus branch to the king of Chu, the lotus branch always stops when she is sent to the door on weekdays.

Xiao Jiuniang's mood was really weird, but she couldn't say anything, and she felt a kind of grievance that she couldn't argue. She took the suitcase and walked forward, when she saw a door open next to her.

Standing in front of the door was Xiao Banniang.

Jiu Niang's eyes flashed, bowed to her, and passed by. After walking a few steps, he noticed that the man behind him had followed.

At this time, he stopped, but he seemed to be a little unreasonable, since the other party wanted to think of a good rhetoric with nature. Xiao Jiuniang could only purse her mouth tightly and continue to walk forward.

The person behind him followed him all the way to the door of King Chu's room, and Xiao Jiuniang turned around and glanced at her.

"I don't know what the eighth sister always does with her sister?"

Xiao Banniang smiled as delicately as a flower, and with a touch of sarcasm: "What am I doing to you?" You just don't care what you do, is it still on my head?! ”

This shameless Xiao Banniang!

Xiao Jiuniang's silver teeth were biting, she naturally knew what Xiao Banniang had in mind, but at this time, she seemed timid when she turned around. She is Xiao Jiuniang, except for that person, who has she been afraid of?

She glanced at Xiao Banniang coldly, a sneer curled up at the corner of her lips, and she turned around and knocked on the door.

The door opened from the inside, and it was Chang Shun who opened the door.

Chang Shun saw that it was the little girl who came that day, so he didn't think much about it and turned her body sideways and let her in, but she didn't expect that there was a person behind her, and she stepped in with a small size.

Before he could speak, he raised his head, and his delicate little face was full of smiles: "Chang Nei, I'm here to see the cousin of King Chu." ”

Another cousin?

Looking at the 'cousin' over there, and then at the 'cousin' with a smile on his face, Chang Shun's eyes became weird.
