In the main courtyard of King Jing's Mansion
Princess Murong squinted and was half-lying, and the eldest maid Zhuyun was half-kneeling behind her and rubbing her hair with good perfume, and a fragrant smell wafted everywhere in the whole room.
Mama Le walked in softly from the outside, and when she saw the princess who was squinting and half-lying, she relaxed her hands and feet, turned around, and closed the door behind her without making a sound.
"Is Mama back?" Princess Murong's voice came from behind Mama Le.
"Princess, there is definite news from the study, the master will rest in the backyard tonight." With an obvious smile on her face, Mama Le walked quickly to Murong Clan.
"What's so strange about this, it's idle outside, and sooner or later you will stay in the backyard." Murong Clan's voice was flat.
"That's the way it is, but this year is obviously different...... "Eyes gestured outward, and then continued: "...... According to the habits of the past few years, the first time I stayed overnight after the year, the princess came here, and when the time came, I had to let those people see clearly, in this house, in the end, it was still respectful and orderly. ”
"You've said it all, it's a habit, not a rule." Murong said this in his mouth, but the expression on his face was disapproving, she worked hard to run the palace for her lord, and gave birth to a son-in-law for her lord, so it is reasonable, her lord will give her this face, and besides, isn't it like this in previous years?
"According to the respect that the lord has for the princess in the past, this needs to be said!" Mama Le saw the expression in Murong Clan's eyes clearly, and knew that Murong Clan was obviously insincere. Say what Murong really wants to say for the Murong clan.
After listening to Mama Le's words, Murong didn't say anything more, but a confident smile flashed in his eyes.
It's just getting dark. Murong had already finished bathing and walked out of the inner room, let the people around her carefully dress up, and after touching her hair and temples and examining the mirror before and after neatly, she nodded with satisfaction, picked up a small object and rewarded it, and the waiting subordinates respectfully took it, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and left.
Shortly after the person withdrew. Murong immediately stood up from the dresser.
"Princess-" Seeing Murong Clan stand up, Zhu Yun hurried up.
"Go and ask the kitchen guy to bring the food!" Seeing Zhuyun in the mirror, Murong continued to look in the mirror. He commanded at Zhuyun.
"Slave and maid, go now." After bowing slightly, the mandarin duck turned around and walked out.
The food on the table had already been placed, and Murong walked to the dining table to carefully check that the dishes were all Long Hanyuan's favorite on weekdays, and nodded unconsciously. Raise your head and pinch your sideburns. It seems to be a little too quiet, although the prince usually prefers this kind of makeup, but now that the New Year's Festival, is it a bit too quiet......
Thinking like this in his heart, Murong had already come to the dressing mirror, picked up a not-so-gorgeous step, and made a gesture to insert it in his hair.
"It's better for the princess to wear it as a slave!" Zhuyun saw this scene and hurried up.
Murong nodded and was about to hand over the step. His eyes swept into the sky outside that was completely dark, and he took back his outstretched hand: "No need......
Zhuyun has already touched the step shake. Unexpectedly, Murong suddenly retracted it and said such a thing, Zhu Yun's heart sank, and his face was puzzled and aggrieved: "Princess, is it a slave ......" Did you do something wrong?"
"It's not too early for this concubine to see the sky, you go out to have a look, have you seen the prince coming?" As if knowing Zhu Yun's grievances at this time, Murong interrupted Zhu Yun's words in time and commanded Zhu Yun.
The incomprehensible grievances on Zhuyun's face disappeared, and he returned to a stable appearance, "Slave and maid, let's go." As he spoke, he strode out, and when he was about to walk out of the door, Zhuyun turned around: "Princess, do you want the slave to call a little maid for you to come in?" ”
"No need, can't this concubine even wear a step shake, can't she plug it in?" Murong didn't leave the mirror, but there was a hint of impatience in his tone.
Zhu Yun secretly scolded in his heart, and didn't dare to say anything more, and behind Wei Weifu, he walked out.
After a long time, Murong looked at the good step shake and the hairpin in his hand, his eyes wandered between the two, and he couldn't make up his mind, so he subconsciously spoke: "Zhuyun, do you say that this step shake or the hairpin is better?" ”
After half a ring, no one answered, Murong frowned, turned his head and looked in the direction where Zhu Yun usually stood, no one? His eyes quickly scanned the room, and Murong remembered that Zhuyun had been sent out by her.
Looking through the gap in the window, the sky outside couldn't be darker, why didn't Zhu Yun come back at this time, "Someone-" Murong shouted towards the door.
A little maid ran in tremblingly: "Princess, what do you command?" ”
"Has Zhuyun ever been back?"
"Back to the princess, Sister Zhuyun has not come back since she went out to this meeting."
"How long has it been?"
"Sister Zhuyun has been out for almost two quarters of an hour since she went out."
"Two quarters of an hour?" It's been so long, why hasn't Zhuyun come back for so long, could it be that the prince is busy? Although he told himself like this, Murong Clan's heart still inevitably had a bad premonition.
"Yes." The little maid thought that Murong was asking, and replied respectfully, but she didn't hear the princess's voice for a long time after answering, and couldn't help but look up secretly.
Murong stood up from the vanity mirror violently, and the little maid thought that her peek was discovered, and she was scared to death.
"Go and get some clothes for the concubine, and the concubine will go to the door to take a look." Murong Shi commanded the stupid maid, why are you so stupid? Murong frowned, but now was not the time to worry about his subordinates.
"- Slave and maid, go and get it." Fortunately, it wasn't a peek that was discovered, and the little girl was secretly glad.
As soon as Murong and the little maid walked to the door, they saw Zhuyun stumbling in.
Murong didn't seem to notice Zhu Yun's expression, and kept staring at the direction behind Zhu Yun until Zhu Yun came to her, and when no one appeared behind her for a long time, Murong turned around and entered the house directly without words.
The little maid looked at Zhuyun with a distressed gaze: "Sister Zhuyun-"
"You're out there." After saying to the little maid, Zhuyun did not stop and stepped directly into the inner room.
In the inner room, Princess Murong sat in front of the dressing mirror with a calm face, looking no different from the past, but Zhu Yun's heart couldn't help but lift it.
"Is the prince still busy? Also, the envoy of Baizang is coming soon, and the lord will definitely not be as easy as in previous years, if you go to sue the prince, you will say that the political affairs are important, and the concubine will not wait for him......"
"Princess, princess - princess, he went to Liuyun Courtyard!" Zhu Yun interrupted Murong Clan's words and blurted out the traces of the prince she had heard.
"Flow-Cloud-Courtyard-" Murong Shi read out word by word, and the sharp end of the hairpin that she had forgotten to put down in her hand stabbed into her palm fiercely, and instantly something warm overflowed from her palm, but she didn't notice it.
Zhu Yun still saw it with sharp eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward, regardless of the offense, he went to break Murong Clan's palm, "Princess, you quickly let go, it's all bleeding." ”
Hearing Zhu Yun's words, Murong Clan let go of his clenched palm, and the blood-colored hairpin fell to the ground.
"The slave asked people to ask for a doctor!" Seeing that the Murong clan finally let go, Zhu Yun hurriedly wanted to go out.
"Stop, do you want everyone in the capital to know that Concubine Ben is jealous tomorrow?" Murong scolded Zhuyun with a gloomy gaze.
"The slave and maid should die, it is the slave and the maid who are not thoughtful, but the princess, you are still bleeding, you can't go to the imperial doctor, and your hand is so badly injured, what should we do?" The six gods of Zhuyun have no owner.
"What to do? What to do? How can there be an incompetent girl like you around this concubine, there is a good gold sore medicine in the cabinet at the head of the bed in the room, and there are some simple things to treat wounds, you can just go and bandage this concubine. Murong frowned and scolded in a low voice.
Zhu Yun, who was flustered, heard Murong Shi's words, his eyes lit up, and he tried his best to calm down the flustered feelings, walked quickly to the head of the bed, took out the gold sore medicine and bandaging things from it, and quickly returned to Murong Shi's side, "It may be a little painful, princess, bear with it." ”
"Okay-" Until the last step was completed, Zhu Yun looked at Murong Clan with a sigh of relief, and was facing Murong Clan's trembling eyes.
"King-princess......" Zhuyun's face suddenly turned to ashes, and her heart sank to the bottom.
“…… Tonight's matter, Concubine Ben doesn't want a word to be spread outside. ”
"Slaves and maids will never talk nonsense." The originally dead face shone again, and Zhu Yun gratefully assured Murong Clan.
"Remember what you said, don't let this concubine have a chance to regret it, - in addition, your family's Lao Tzu and mother, this concubine will send a letter back and let her mother take good care of it."
"Slave - thank you, Princess!" Zhuyun bowed, she knew that the princess was warning her that if a word came out of tonight's incident, whether it was her, her Lao Tzu and her mother would not be able to live.
"Okay, you get up and tell Concubine Ben, what's going on?"
“…… When the slave maid arrived at the door of the study, she happened to see the master come out, because she was afraid of being discovered, the slave didn't dare to follow, so she waited in place for a while, and waited until she saw the prince go away, and the slave and maid hurriedly took a shortcut, ready to rush back to report to the princess, but I didn't expect that just when we reached the fork in our main courtyard, the prince suddenly turned around, the slave and the maid were anxious, thinking about whether the prince was on a bad trip, and wanted to see it again, so she followed from a distance, and saw the prince enter the gate of Liuyun Courtyard, the slave and the maid thought, maybe the prince had something to explain to Concubine Gu, After the explanation, maybe he will come to our main courtyard, just wait in the dark, but ......"
"It seems that Concubine Ben still underestimated Concubine Gu...... What about the snow side concubine next door to Liuyun Temple? Did the people in the Xuefang Concubine Courtyard find out that the master had entered the Liuyun Courtyard? The first half of the sentence Murong said very quietly, as if he was talking to himself, but the second half of the sentence was clearly heard by Zhuyun. (To be continued......)
