Chapter Seventy-Nine: Minglan's Hint
Stepping on the quiet moonlight, Minglan slowly walked behind Gu Yunxi. As soon as she opened her mouth, a hot air mass from her mouth sprayed onto her neck socket.
"Look at what you can endure, is it possible to turn into a bird and fly out of the tribute courtyard with wings?"
The bewitching and tactful voice made Gu Yunxi's heart feel slightly cold, and his beating heart was instantly raised to his throat because of extreme nervousness.
How long has he been standing here? Could it be that all his own cover-ups have been seen through by him?
While conjecturing wildly in her heart, she immediately knelt down, and her posture was extremely humble:
"The little girl has seen Lord Mingdu."
"Hmm."
He watched as she turned around, snorting nonchalantly.
In the moonlight, the python robe was particularly white, and a little luster seemed to be flowing on the gorgeous brocade, draped over his body like frost and snow.
The well-embroidered hem swept Gu Yunxi's cheeks, and in a blink of an eye, the person was already in front of him.
The index finger is long, smooth as a fat, and picks up the girl's jaw. Minglan bent her back slightly, her face closer to hers.
When they looked at each other, his peach blossom eyes reflected in the night were particularly aggressive and bright.
"You haven't answered Bento's question."
The sound was ethereal, as if it had come from no source, like a breeze blowing out of thin air in the night.
With his eyes rolling slightly, Gu Yunxi replied calmly:
"Easy to go."
"Good reason......
Minglan raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were dignified, and he seemed to be able to perceive everything.
It takes a lot of courage to look at each other with such sharp eyes!
Gu Yunxi couldn't help but feel palpitations, and secretly warned himself to be calm.
Withdrawing his hand, Minglan straightened up, raised his eyes to look into the air, and asked:
"Do you want to go to the palace early?"
His sudden jumping question made Gu Yunxi feel caught off guard.
The long eyelashes flickered, she obviously didn't know what to say, hurriedly lowered her eyebrows, put on a full deferential posture, and said cautiously:
"The little girl traveled thousands of miles from Tanglin to Beijing, and it is true that she only wanted to enter the palace to serve her masters wholeheartedly. Now that he is in the Gongyuan, he must abide by the teachings of the Ming Governor and Du Zhangshi, and go all out to realize his long-cherished wish. ”
Minglan lightly hooked her lips, showing a chuckle of unknown meaning, slowly lowered her eyelids, and her flickering gaze fell on the girl's body.
"Then have you ever thought that one day you will no longer be a slave and a maid in the palace, but will be on an equal footing with the masters of the three palaces and six courtyards, and you will share each other's colors?"
Yu Feng turned again, and he stared at her and asked, his voice rising and falling in a low tone.
Gu Yunxi looked stunned.
His words...... Could it be a hint of a red fruit?
Before noon, Du Zhangshi said to her what he said about Minglan, and she understood the general meaning.
If you want to enter the palace smoothly, you must first please Minglan, make him happy, and gladly accept the skills he taught "personally".
Minglan is a womanizer and traitor, and he can teach the tribute girl what skills he has, Gu Yunxi can guess eight or nine with his eyes closed!
Now it seems that handing over the Youzhu Tribute Courtyard to the West Factory is tantamount to sending the delicate and weak tribute girls into the wolf's den, and I don't know what the emperor is thinking when he sees the sky.
But he is also a poor person, and I am afraid that he will never know, among the concubines he was fortunate to, those women with no status were tasted by a eunuch before they climbed on his dragon couch.
Gu Yunxi knelt on the ground without saying a word, letting Minglan keep spinning in front of and behind her, and the wall was talking in a rhetorical voice, but in his heart he was secretly scolding him as "turtle, king eight".
She felt more and more that she was a bully, knowing that her family was mediocre and she was helpless in Beijing alone, so she tried her best to start tricking her.
She forcibly suppressed the disgust and discomfort in her heart, kowtowed with a blank expression, and replied lightly:
"The little girl is stupid, and I hope that the Lord Overseer will make it clear."
The eyes flashed, and Minglan squatted, with a pointed face at the same height as the girl's.
The cold fingertips brushed her smooth forehead, and gently flicked a strand of broken hair from her sideburns behind her ear.
After a while, the five fingers were still reluctant to leave, and the cold jade-like fingertips pinched the girl's delicate and soft ears and lips very restlessly, and rubbed them slowly.
Gu Yunxi knelt steadily, her face was calm, she didn't show any surprise, and even when he carefully stroked every inch of her facial features and every inch of her skin, she didn't show any big ups and downs.
Hadn't she seen his unruliness a long time ago?
After some temptation, Minglan finally stopped moving, tilted his head to look at her, and felt that this girl was very interesting.
is an ordinary woman, who is so cheeky and frivolous, or angry or frightened, or is a water-based poplar herself, and has already been tricked into revealing her true form after such teasing.
But this girl has a faint expression, low eyebrows, and a shelf that is neither humble nor arrogant.
On closer inspection, her low-hanging eyelashes were as thick and long as crow's feathers, mottled in the moonlight, and shimmered with a moving clear light.
A pair of small but delicate beautiful eyes are intertwined with light and shadow, like a dream, making people unable to see the color of the eyes.
Minglan looked deeply, and at this moment he was also wondering in his heart, is this girl named "Tu Duxue" really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Is her expression really calm, or is it incomprehensible?
And her voice is like a ...... Is it true that there are two people in the world who have almost the same voice?
Holding her little face in her hand, Minglan approached inch by inch:
"As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and those women who have a bad family background and a mediocre appearance, even if they enter the palace gate, can only be slaves and maids for the rest of their lives, and let others oppress them.
If you don't rely on external forces and find high-ranking internal officials as backers, not only will it be difficult to see Long Yan be favored in this life, but many people will not even survive the age of twenty-five and be released, and they will be out of the palace. Twilight, are you afraid? ”
He said a lot in one breath, coaxing and frightened, and the burning heat in his mouth swayed, and the wisps wrapped around her face.
There is a saying that wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, and dogs travel thousands of miles to eat.
Minglan, Minglan, you are destined to be a leper dog who can't change his life and eats!
Gu Yunxi gritted her teeth fiercely, no matter what it was, she felt that he only cut off his two fingers, which was really the lightest punishment-
Although her mental activities are delicate and rich, her appearance is still quiet, she still blinks from time to time, her long eyelashes flutter at Minglan, and her face is full of ignorance.
Whether it is intentional temptation or habitual behavior, before you figure out the situation, it is safest to pretend to be stupid!
The mutilated left hand hung down, and he grabbed one of her small hands, rubbing his thumb back and forth on the silky back of his hand, and he continued to coax:
"Don't be afraid, you can tell Ben Du if you have any ideas. If you want to rise to prominence and stand out in the harem for a year and a half, Bendu can help you. The most important thing is that you have to be sensible and have your own ideas. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, his right hand turned, and the slightly cool index finger was placed on the girl's petite and shallow lips, touching it back and forth.
At this time, he began to expect that the girl would suddenly raise her eyebrows and open her mouth to bite his fingers.
Then he could confirm that she had returned......
Can...... But the actions of the girl in front of him once again made him sink into the abyss of darkness and despair.
I saw her frowning slightly, looking confused, looking at him in confusion, and asked angrily:
"Lord Mingdu, what do you mean by that? You always ask me what I think, what do I think, what can I think? I listen to my dad the most at home, and I do whatever my dad tells me to do.
My father said that it is best to enter the palace, and the ordinary maidservants in the palace have two taels of money every month, so it is twenty-four taels a year. My father also said that when he was on an errand in the palace, he would have a uniform amount of food and clothing, which would save a lot of daily expenses. My dad also said......"
"That's enough—"
Minglan suddenly turned his face, and his sharp voice directly interrupted Gu Yunxi's eloquent words, and at the same time woke up the sleeping people in the courtyard.
In the blink of an eye, the lights in the row house turned on one after another.
The door sounded one after another, and the young tribute girls rubbed their sleepy eyes one after another, and crowded under the porch to watch the excitement. The nursing home who was patrolling the night also heard the movement and rushed over in groups.
"Overseer, what's the matter?"
The leader of the nursing home stepped forward and asked Minglan about it.
Minglan got up quietly, his clear eyes were red and cloudy with anger, and his ruthless gaze continued to grasp Gu Yunxi and did not let go, drinking and hating in endless resentment, regardless of the gaze of several pairs of eyes around him, he made a gaffe that was incompatible with his identity.
Blame yourself for it! I actually imagined this girl who was born with a bad mind to be her.
This almost absurd idea once made Minglan go crazy, so he had to test her again and again, and even just now, he went crazy and touched every inch of her face, trying to find the glue of the disguised mask around the face.
It turned out that everything was just his own fantasy, and the person in front of him was just Tu Duxue, a simple girl with a mediocre complexion and a humble status-
Disappointment, then despair, and finally frustration —
He has been looking for her for a whole year, and although the West Factory has stopped a comprehensive search operation, he has not stopped thinking about her for a day in his heart.
Minglan closed his eyes heavily, took a deep breath, and felt the strange colic in his chest be relieved.
"Roll ......"
The murmur was followed by a roar:
"Get out of here—"
The scene was silent, and everyone looked at each other, but they had always known that this overseer had the most moody temperament.
The leader of the nursing home raised his hand to everyone and quietly signaled them to withdraw quickly.
The girls scrambled to turn around, and one by one they entered the house, and the sound of "bang, bang, bang" closed the door one after another. In an instant, Minglan and Gu Yunxi were left in the courtyard.
Gu Yunxi felt funny when she peeked at Minglan's angry appearance, and when the scene calmed down, she bowed respectfully at his feet:
"The Lord of the Ming Governor is angry, the little girl is all telling the truth, if there is any taboo, please raise your noble hand and let go of the little girl's disrespectful sin."
He waved his sleeves angrily:
"You get out too! Get the hell out of me—"
Minglan has an extreme temperament, once he is really fierce, his delicate facial features are immediately entangled and shapeless, and with that charming and exaggerated voice, it is shocking enough.
Gu Yunxi snickered, got up quickly, and just took a step forward and was stopped by Minglan:
"Wait!"
She stopped in horror, her frightened eyes flashing with anticipation, and she didn't know how that guy was going to be a demon.
"Aren't you going to make it convenient?"
Minglan's voice was unusually depressed:
"The toilet is in the west wing of this courtyard, why don't you go yet?"
"Yes, in a hurry...... Forgot ......."
Gu Yunxi didn't dare to look back at him easily, so he only shrunk his neck and went straight to the corner room of the West Wing lightly.
Minglan took his hand, and his slender figure was very lonely under the deep night sky.
The lanterns in the cloister swayed from side to side in the wind, and each time they swayed, the iron hook at the top pressed against the openwork wooden frame of the gallery, making a "squeak" sound, urging Minglan to retract his mind as soon as possible.
There is nothing in front of the vision, and the figure buried in the bottom of the heart is clearer and more abrupt.
How could that girl be her?
The pampered little wild cat, every time he is teased by him, he will be panicked, dancing with sharp claws and tearing and scratching, and resisting, how can he be such a stupid and dull rammer?
Minglan laughed at Yue's self-deprecation, silently shook his head and walked away......
