061: Boundless conjecture
After Mu Xue and Yunzhi left, Fei Qi stood in place and was stunned for a while, Princess Fang and the Yunzhi girl were muttering and talking together, and they didn't even notice that they walked in, so what were they talking about?
And the moment she opened her mouth to speak, both of them looked at themselves for a moment, could it be that these two people were talking about themselves when they came together to speak?
Unable to figure it out, she shook her head fearlessly and followed behind to serve.
Mu Xue had dinner, soaked her feet in medicinal water, and then changed the medicine for her arm and lay down on the bed to sleep.
At this moment, she looked at Fei Qi, who was adding fragrance to herself, and had something to ask in her heart, but she didn't speak for a long time.
After adding fragrance to the incense burner, Fei Qi put down the object in his hand and retreated.
After Fei Qi retreated, Mu Xue didn't fall asleep on the bed alone for a while, and her mind was like an old silent movie replaying the scene that happened when she was in the study twice this afternoon.
She still remembered the man holding her against the pillar and questioning her.
He asked them what their relationship was.....
He said that he didn't expect to believe in him unconditionally like he believed in Mu Haifeng......
Every scene that was enough to make Mu Xue misunderstand was played in her mind, and thinking about it like this, she fell asleep with a light smile on the corner of her lips that she hadn't noticed.
Mu Xue is a fool, she has been happy all day for some marginal conjectures, but she selectively ignores the pain caused by changing the dressing at this moment.
At this moment, she had just changed the medicine when she heard the guard report that Aunt Jiu had asked to see her.
Mu Xue didn't even raise her eyelids, and said directly: "Let her go back, saying that Concubine Ben will go over in person in the afternoon, so that she doesn't have to worry." ”
"Well, Aunt Jiu said that she knew that your arm was injured, and she brought something and said she wanted to come in to see you."
"Tell her that her heart and concern are known, let her go back."
Mu Xue thought that she had said this, and this guard should retreat, but the guard hadn't left yet, and there was even a bit of embarrassment on his face.
"But I see that Aunt Jiu seems to have something important to say, is she really not letting people in?"
Mu Xue looked up at him in surprise, this guard is called Ling Yun, his appearance is not bad, his posture is straight and strong, but he does not live up to this set of armor on his body.
Fei Qi also knew what the princess was suspicious.
Mu Xue was indeed wondering if the guard had accepted Jiu Pei's money, so she spoke for Na Jiu Pei vigorously.
Fei Qi hurriedly handed Mu Xue a cup of tea, and then persuaded in a low voice: "Princess, it must be Aunt Jiu who is in a hurry, so I think I must see you." After all, they are just subordinates, and they don't dare to do things to the end. ”
Mu Xue chuckled when she heard this, and glanced at Fei Qi.
It is not unreasonable for this Fei Qi to be respected by the male servants and maids of this Fengluan Palace.
She felt that she needed to let Yunzhi learn from Fei Qi and learn these small means of buying people's hearts.
She looked at Ling Yun over there again and taught him to speak: "Tell her that since you have been waiting for three years, why bother with such a day and a half." And the concubine's hand is still injured, and she doesn't want to see anyone, so she asks her to go back and wait with peace of mind. ”
After the guard retreated, Mu Xue followed him to the door.
Lifting the heavy door curtain, the cold wind outside the door poured in, Mu Xue looked at the Jiu Pei by the door and let people put all the things in the hands of the guards and went back.
It seems that because the matter has not been resolved, she is reluctant to turn back three times when she turns around and walks back.
A moment later, the guard came again.
Still holding the gift of Jiu Pei in her hand, Mu Xue opened it and took a look, it turned out to be a pair of jade hairpins with exquisite workmanship, and there were two boxes of incense powder in another wooden box, Mu Xue opened it and smelled it.
The faint smell is very good, but Mu Xue didn't dare to use the things she sent, so she rewarded people at will.
Today's sunshine is good, Mu Xue lazily took a nap, and only after waking up did she go to Fuyun Palace.
Everything was packed up, and when she was about to go out, Mu Xue saw that Fei Qi and Yun Zhi were both ready to follow her.
She glanced at Yun Zhi and said with concern: "Your hand is still injured, first rest more in this Fengluan Palace, and Fei Qi will accompany me today." ”
Mu Xue had already been angry with Yunzhi before, and she said that in the future, she would take Fei Qi to the Fuyun Palace, and leave her in the Fengluan Palace.
This is not because the balance in Mu Xue's heart tilted to Fei Qi's side, but Mu Xue wanted Yunzhi to find the lost jewel for herself in this room.
"Yes, the slave knows."
"Well, you just keep a good watch over the yard."
After that, Mu Xue walked out of the gate of Fengluan Hall with the support of Fei Qi.
This is the first time Mu Xue set foot in the Fuyun Palace, this Fuyun Hall is built spacious and atmospheric, a rockery fountain and pavilion attic, no worse than Mu Xue's Fengluan Palace.
No wonder this Jiu Pei has been screaming in front of her since the first day she entered the door, and she does have the capital to scream.
It's just that the subordinates of this Fuyun Hall are all frightened by Aunt Jiu, in addition to abiding by their duties and doing things mechanically, they give people a feeling of lifelessness.
Jiu Pei sent Guocui to wait outside, and when he saw the princess with a team of people entering the gate of Fuyun Palace, he immediately came in to ventilate and report the news.
But it wasn't the right time for her to break in.
Jiu Pei was sitting alone in front of the dressing table, staring viciously at the injured half of his face in the mirror.
Guo Cui broke in, and the moment she pushed the door, the bright light hit Jiu Pei's body at once, she seemed to be a poisonous snake that couldn't see the light, and was suddenly illuminated by the bright light, she grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it in the direction of Guo Cui.
Tea leaves and water stains are alive, and the broken porcelain crumbs of the teacup instantly fall all over the smooth floor.
Guocui was frightened by this battle and immediately knelt down.
"What are you doing in here?"
gritted his teeth, and scared Guocui.
Then he replied in a trembling whisper: "The princess and her subordinates have arrived at our Fuyun Palace." ”
Jiu Pei's face flashed with joy in an instant, when she went to Fengluan Hall before, she was stopped by someone, she thought that Mu Xue was coaxing herself when she said yesterday that she was going to show herself the scars today, so she shirked it today.
Now that the son came over to him, she naturally had to be happy.
As long as the scars on her face are healed, she will definitely be able to truly become the prince's aunt at that time.
"Don't say it sooner, huh."
After Jiu Pei said this, he put on a mask for himself, and then put on a cloak and went outside to greet Mu Xue.
When Guo Cui heard this, she felt that she was extremely wronged, so she only lowered her head and followed behind Jiu Pei and didn't dare to speak.
"Oh, the princess's sister didn't let people announce when she came, but it seems that my sister was rude."
Jiu Pei walked out of the bedroom door and saw Mu Xue coming over slowly, so he hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
"Quick, Aunt Ben remembers that there is a new reward from the prince before the rain, and Aunt Ben's newly made pastries at noon today, go and bring them to entertain the princess."
While speaking, Jiu Pei was ready to take Mu Xue's arm affectionately, but Mu Xue hurriedly took two steps back: "This concubine's hand is injured, and it really can't be touched." ”
"Yes, I see that I am so happy that I forgot about the Princess's injured arm, what is happening now?"
As if there had been no unpleasant past between the two of them, they entered the room one after the other.
Mu Xue looked at the broken porcelain shavings and water stains on the ground, and asked Jiu Pei with an inquiring gaze.
A moment of embarrassment flashed on Jiu Pei's face, and he looked at Guocui who was following behind with a reproachful gaze, and then said: "This is the girl Guocui who accidentally knocked over the teacup, I have already taught me a lesson, really, let my sister see the joke." ”
Mu Xue didn't care how this person was angry before she came over, but when she saw the people over there come to clean up, she said unintentionally: "Sister, you are kind-hearted, you won't punish such a hairy girl who breaks the bowl, if this thing happens to my Fengluan Palace, I will definitely punish them severely."
"Hey, they are already working hard as slaves and maids, and I, who can be an aunt, should be more considerate. Besides, I was also a subordinate in the past, so I can naturally know their hard work in the past. ”
In terms of hypocrisy, these two women are masters.
Obviously, each other's hearts hate each other and they can't bite each other to death, but they can sit together and drink tea with affectionate gossip.
At this moment, Jiu Pei looked at Mu Xue's arm and said with concern: "Yesterday, I heard that the prince in the study was angry, and this hurt my sister's arm, how is my sister's arm now?" ”
Mu Xue carefully lifted her arm to the table, with some expectation on her face, obviously not wanting to mention this matter.
At this moment, the servants brought up the pastries and fruits, and Mu Xue's eyes looked around the room.
Glancing over every valuable ornament in the room, he finally fixed his eyes on the dressing table over there, and over the dazzling array of ornaments, he saw the neatly arranged masks hanging on the shelves over there.
Mu Xue raised her feet and walked over, her fingers stroked a silver mask, and said with some embarrassment: "If this concubine is not mistaken, auntie, you are only eighteen this year, speaking of which, auntie, you are three or two years older than this concubine, in the past, it was a joke to call your aunt a sister, you should call your sister." ”
"What I said is that if the princess doesn't dislike me, just treat me as a sister, I, as a sister, will definitely be intimate with the princess's sister in the future, and I won't make trouble with those unpleasant suspicions in the past."
But as he spoke, this Jiu Pei lowered his head sadly and sighed: "It's just that the princess sister doesn't know, since my face was ruined, I have been like the prince, and I rarely go out. ”
Indeed, since the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the markets in the capital have been very lively, watching lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, setting off fireworks, etc., all of which are lively.
