Chapter Sixty-Nine: See Musk Again?!
Su Wanqing had breakfast, and when she arrived at the Nine Courtyards, Chen Jianzhi had just left.
Su Yuanyi was sitting alone at the table, playing with the brocade box in his hand, and there was a dark cloud surging in his eternal cold eyes.
At this time, there was a sound in the door, and Hengwen reported inside: "Lord, the side concubine has arrived." ”
When Su Yuanyi heard this, the movements in his hands stiffened imperceptibly, and his gaze on the brocade box also tightened, revealing some complex emotions, he was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Let her in...... After a while, listen to my orders to serve tea. ”
Hengwen has been by Su Yuanyi's side for many years, and as his confidant, he can distinguish the meaning of these words, so he involuntarily glances up at him, and responds yes, exiting the goalkeeper Su Wanqing to invite in.
As soon as Su Wanqing walked into the study, she felt a deep gaze firmly on her, she raised her eyes to meet the dark eyes, and bowed her knees to say hello.
"No courtesy." Su Yuanyi removed the strangeness in his eyes, his eyes were plain and indifferent, and he couldn't see any emotion, so he said coldly: "Sit down." ”
Su Wanqing thanked her, glanced at the pile of official documents, and smacked her tongue secretly, but when she sat down and saw the "Hundred Herbs" on the table, her attention was attracted, and her thoughts suddenly cleared.
How did this book get opened and put on the table?
Su Wanqing was a little puzzled, subconsciously picked up the book, lowered her eyes, and the content in it made her stunned, it was not anything else, it was the musk article!
At this glance, an indescribable treachery spread in Su Wanqing's heart. But for a moment, she calmly flipped the book back and forth a few times, and it was very natural to start from the back page.
The movement is fluid. It was as if her fleeting surprise was just a curiosity caused by the book being touched by someone else.
The two sat for a while, and Su Yuanyi's voice sounded faintly, breaking the silence in the room: "Which maid do you plan to add, can you pick it?" ”
Such a trivial matter did not have to be asked by the dignified prince himself, and it was not difficult for Su Wanqing to hear that he was deliberately looking for words, so she shook her head with a smile. looked at Su Yuanyi's expression with a bit of seriousness: "Not yet, there is a lesson from Liuyin's past, and the concubine doesn't dare to be sloppy." ”
She said so. It's just that there is something in the words.
Su Yuanyi raised her eyebrows slightly, waiting for her to continue.
The concubine thought that the people who were resting beside her were once wrong. On weekdays, I don't want to do half the work. Sometimes it even brings trouble to the Lord. Su Wanqing smiled slightly, her face was calm, but her tone was a little meaningful, "However, if this person is used accurately, he will definitely have a lot less trouble in doing things, and if he is more handy, he may be able to become the master's right-hand man." It's just a man who knows the times and is faithful. It's not easy to find. ”
Although Su Wanqing was talking about her views on choosing people, the second half of the sentence was a vague reference to herself and the Taiwei Mansion.
When she saw that the medical book was turned to Musk, she guessed that Su Yuanyi was suspicious of her, but his calculations above the Shen family were very important, and the relationship between the two of them was delicate, so now was not a good time to pick out what she said.
All she could do was to quietly state her position and let Su Yuanyi know that she and the Taiwei Mansion were willing to be used by him, and they were also his best choice. If Su Yuanyi really had suspicions, it would not be difficult to hear her meaning.
This man's city is too deep, and she can't be negligent in the slightest.
Su Yuanyi listened to her words quietly, a mist that was not easy to be noticed in his dark eyes, and he nodded and said, "That's right." ”
After that, he pondered for a long time, took a square brocade box from the corner of the table, and said lightly: "This thing was originally sent yesterday, but the side concubine said that she was sick, so the king had to deliver it in person." ”
Maybe it's because I just saw that the medical book was exhibited to the musk article, or maybe it's because she was talking about this, Su Wanqing's heart jumped unconsciously when she heard this, she raised her eyes to look at Su Yuanyi, and then looked at the brocade box, and smiled lightly, "Thanks to the prince." ”
Su Yuanyi's deep face was unwavering, and he pushed the box a few inches closer to Su Wanqing, motioning her to open it and take a look.
For some reason, Su Wanqing looked at the rewarded thing, and was a little uneasy for no reason, she hesitated for a moment, and slowly removed the lid on the brocade box.
As the light shone into the box, the contents were revealed, and a thick red was reflected in Su Wanqing's eyes, which made her heart sink!
On the cushion of the brocade box, there is a pair of earrings that I don't know whether it is red agate or red musk!
Is it really musk?!
…… What was Su Yuanyi's purpose in giving her this thing? Are you trying her? Or is she, like Shen Qingyi, just a pawn he used for a while, and sooner or later he abandoned it?!
In an instant, Su Wanqing set off a monstrous wave inside, but fortunately, she was somewhat alert before opening it, and she was not frightened at this moment.
She tried her best to control her expression and pulled a smile at the brocade box.
Su Yuanyi's eyes staring at her were a little deep, and he didn't dare to look at them directly, and after a pause, he raised his hand to take off the earrings, and said lightly: "Put it on and take a look." ”
As he spoke, without waiting for Su Wanqing to react, he had already gotten up and walked to her, his warm fingertips stroked the white earlobe, and took off the white beads on her ear, his movements were inappropriate and gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her.
Scold! Such a scene seems to outsiders to be so affectionate!
Su Wanqing smiled motionlessly, her body was faintly stiff, she could clearly feel that Su Yuanyi was looking at her! His cold and deep gaze was always staring at her face!
The gaze was clearly observant!
Realizing this, Su Wanqing calmed down, yes, she couldn't show her flaws, and she couldn't let him see that she knew musk!
Thinking so, she raised her head to meet Su Yuanyi's gaze, smiled lightly, and her eyebrows seemed to be dyed with a smile, "Lord Wang, how is it?" ”
Su Yuanyi's movements stopped for a moment, and his fingers pressed on her chin, and with a little force, he lifted up that delicate and beautiful face.
There was no appreciation in his bottomless black eyes, some were just scrutiny, and there was even a bit of cold air in that scrutiny.
With her heart beating like a drum, Su Wanqing tried her best to show herself calmly, and called out suspiciously: "Lord Wang? ”
As soon as the voice fell, Su Yuanyi's hand loosened, turned around and sat back in the chair, and said in a deep voice: "Vermilion doesn't line you, put it away first, and the king of Japan will give you a good pair again." ”
What did he say? Vermilion is not worthy of her, let her put it away?
A touch of surprise flashed in Su Wanqing's eyes, what is this, could it be that Su Yuanyi has changed his mind? She looked at Su Yuanyi in confusion, she wanted to see this person clearly, and wanted to know what he meant by saying this.
However, what came into her sight was Su Yuanyi looking down at the silhouette of Kumon.
Su Yuanyi never mentioned the earrings again.
Su Wanqing didn't know how she stayed in front of him for several hours, and it wasn't until the second half of the morning that she finally came out of the study.
There was no one else in the house, Su Yuanyi called Hengwen into the room, he flipped through the scroll in his hand, did not look up, only said lightly: "The prepared tea, there is no need to keep it, tell Chen Jian to say a word, what the concubine asked him to do, find out and return to the past." ”
Hengwen bowed his head and said: "The subordinates obey the order." (To be continued......)
