Chapter 4 She didn't miss her appointment
Chuxiu Palaceββ
Concubine Xu hurriedly walked to the courtyard, personally helped Gu Yunxi up, and then bent her knees, and was about to kneel in front of her.
"!"
Gu Yunxi was unexpected, screamed and went to the frame with both hands, and Jinzhu and Yan Gui beside Concubine Xu also came over to stop her.
"Niangniang, you must not, do you want to torture the slave maid by doing this?"
Gu Yunxi said in a panic, his cheeks with overlapping red marks on his five fingers were swollen and red.
Concubine Xu's status is noble, and she kneels down in front of many palace people, Gu Yunxi can't afford such a big gift.
Jinzhu knows the master best, seeing Concubine Xu's sad face, she knelt on the ground without saying a word, and her face was sad:
"Niangniang wants to worship Miss Duxue, and the slave will replace Niangniang for this kneeling."
Yan Gui also knelt down and kowtowed:
"The slave is also willing to replace the mother, Miss Twilight, please accept the slave's worship."
"You ......"
Gu Yunxi looked at it in a daze, his heart was suddenly greatly infected, and his tears were smashed to the ground uncontrollably.
Concubine Xu stared at the girl in front of her, Lan pointed at her swollen cheek, but she couldn't bear to touch it, for fear of hurting her again.
For a while, the beautiful eyes flowed, and the tears were sparkling.
"Good girl, it was you who saved the emperor of this palace. But this palace can't protect you......"
Concubine Xu's distressed trembling voice said to the end, and tears filled her eyes.
"The mother is benevolent, the most sympathetic to the next person, even if you and the little prince sacrifice their lives, the slave and maid are willing to go!"
After Gu Yunxi finished speaking, he turned his head to the side and wiped his face vigorously, and his face was replaced by a relaxed smile again.
"Come in with Hongu and talk."
Concubine Xu was in front and brought Jinzhu and Gu Yunxi into the hall, and after taking a seat, when Jinzhu offered tea to the master, she narrowed her eyes with resentment.
"Niangniang, someone must have run to the emperor's ear and said something ugly."
Concubine Xu lifted the lid of the cup but was not in a hurry to drink, nodded slightly, and snorted coldly:
"The emperor himself was uneven, so he took the people in the palace out of anger, and gave the right to explain to that person."
"That person must be Jin Jieyu!"
Jinzhu gritted his teeth, and his eyes were cold:
"Niangniang, then Gu Yunjin is too arrogant, maybe this time he was appointed by Yongning Palace to come to us to harm the little prince! If you also go to Kunning Palace to find the queen mother, sue them! β
Concubine Xu put the teacup, Hui Huang's eyes turned a few times, thought about it, and shook her head frequently:
"If the queen is so reliable, how can King Chen be stupid if he is a good person? Doesn't make sense. It is reasonable to say that Gu Yunjin will go to the emperor to sue the wicked people first if he can't harm people. However, under Wan Yuyao's order, it was too risky for her to attack Lin'er in front of everyone. If it succeeds, in the future, will it be traced up, isn't she Wan Yuyao afraid of being burned? Twilight, what do you think? β
Gu Yunxi stood aside with his hands folded and replied without thinking:
"Niangniang, Yu Zhaoyi's visit to Chuxiu Palace today was an accident, and no one knew in advance. Jin Jieyu made a move, I was afraid that she was worried that Yu Zhaoyi's body would be divided with her after Da'an, so she had to deliberately make yin. And with the little prince as the theme, it can also successfully provoke the sisterhood between you and Master Yu. β
The words made people suddenly open, Concubine Xu's eyes lit up, and then she became gloomy, and the plain hands in her sleeves were clenched into fists.
"What you said is indeed reasonable, Gu Yunjin is also the person of the imperial concubine in the end, and then she has the support of Xichang Minglan. With the mind of a secret man, I am afraid that after a long time, it will inevitably become a big scourge in the harem. β
Gu Yunxi's eyebrows gradually darkened, and a silent smile blended into the coldness, faintly revealing unknown ruthlessness:
"If you control Gu Yunjin, why don't you use external forces?"
Concubine Xu's face was condensed, and she raised her eyes in surprise to look at Gu Yunxi:
"What do you mean......"
Gu Yunxi suddenly remembered something at this moment, and became panicked and anxious:
"...... Please forgive the slave and maid for being rude, the slave and the slave are in a hurry. β
Concubine Xu didn't mind her gaffe, waved her hand and said:
"You go and get busy first, and then we can discuss that later."
"Thank you, mother."
Gu Yunxi quickly ran back to the ear room. Lan Xin was inside, and when she saw her, she immediately cried in fear, one wall said comforting and considerate words, and the other wall held Gu Yunxi's head, looking back and forth.
Gu Yunxi didn't have time to talk to Lan Xin in detail, combed his hair in front of the bronze mirror, and instructed Lan Xin to find two hot eggs as quickly as possible, wrap them with a handkerchief and roll them on his red and swollen cheeks for a few hours, and then apply several layers of the whitest incense powder on his face, and also put red rouge on his two faces.
Lan Xin watched from the sidelines, and stopped talking several times. It wasn't until Gu Yunxi finished putting on makeup that she stammered with a bitter face:
"Twilight, this, your makeup, it's thicker, no, it's not very good-looking......"
"I know, it's just a lot of makeup!"
Gu Yunxi got up and ran out, and before leaving, he didn't forget to bring the gorgeous umbrella in the corner, and wrapped a plate of wolfberry osmanthus cake on the table in oiled paper and brought it with him.
"Twilight!"
Lan Xin chased outside the ear room and failed to stop his friend.
It seems that Youyou is going to meet her "grinding mirror"-
Lan Xinwang sighed to herself, patted her chest and muttered quietly:
"Twilight, don't worry, I won't let you make mistakes again and again. Your life's major events will be taken care of by me! β
ββ
Half a quarter before the appointed hour, Leng Qingtang rushed to the osmanthus tree outside the dining room.
Noon knew that she had been punished, but he didn't know if she would go to the appointment on time, in short, he wanted to wait, maybe there would be a surprise.
The previous conversation with Imperial Physician Jiang made Leng Qingtang even more convinced that Tu Duxue must be Yunxi.
From this, it can be inferred that the person who kidnapped her in the first place should be the one who asked the doctor to come out and perform the "face change" for her.
While standing under the tree and waiting, Leng Qingtang's heart was puzzled by many questions, and he kept thinking about it.
It is true that Yunxi's face is delicate and lovely, like her mother-in-law Pei Rus.
If she enters the palace gate with a face that is the same as Pei Rushi, she will inevitably be recognized by the old people in the palace one day, and her identity will be exposed.
And after changing Yunxi's face, he sent her to the palace to serve, which helped her avoid some murder.
In this way, Leng Qingtang didn't know for a moment whether he should thank that person or kill him!
But what did that person do to change Yunxi's face and send her to the palace after changing her face?
Time passed little by little, and soon the sun was in the west and the sky was sinking.
The evening breeze blew, and Leng Qingtang was relieved. Looking around, it was almost time to turn on the lamp, but the person he was waiting for had not yet appeared.
Forget it, it's like you're punished and can't go out, you won't come, see you another day-
Leng Qingtang sighed, and before leaving, he raised his face to look at the green canopy, and the affection in his eyes was brewing for a long time.
Suddenly, the girl's voice sounded behind her, and she called out in a shallow and beautiful voice:
"Overseerβ"
With a slightly startled face, Leng Qingtang suspected that he had heard it wrong, and when he turned around in an instant, he saw her holding his big umbrella and running over from afar.
Rushing to the bottom of the laurel tree in one breath, Gu Yunxi was out of breath.
Looking at her "fat" little face with extremely heavy makeup, although Leng Qingtang couldn't help laughing, he was also bitter.
He could think that this was the best cover she had ever made for her wounded face. Either way, she didn't want to miss her appointment.
Quiet and windy.
"The ...... of the Governor"
"Slave ......"
The two of them opened their mouths synchronously, both of them were stunned, and then looked at each other and smiled.
Leng Qingtang pursed his lips elegantly, pressed with great joy, and said with bright eyes:
"You speak first."
Gu Yunxi lowered his eyes slightly, a shy flush quietly stained his cheeks, and he smiled plainly:
"The slave is too late, and I think you're gone...... Overseer, return your umbrella. β
With both hands, there was a bag of things pressed on the surface of the umbrella.
"It's ......"
"Xiangyusan is too expensive, and the slave maid can't give it the right thing to give, these pastries ...... It's the slave's own hand......"
At the end of the conversation, the sound was as small as a mosquito flapping its wings.
It's not always good to teach and receive privately, but this is indeed her intention.
Leng Qingtang smiled and took it:
"Aunt Chuxiu Palace's craftsmanship is famous, and it is indeed the luck of Ben Du to be able to taste your handmade dim sum."
Ignoring the girl's burning red face, he put the umbrella and the oil-paper bag under the tree, took out the shell-shaped porcelain cup from his sleeve pocket, and said to her with a light smile:
"Bring it."
"Huh?"
Gu Yunxi frowned, his expression was stunned, and he didn't know why.
Bring? What more? Could it be that this fragrant jade is expensive and gold, he wants silver?
Oh, my God! The Lord Leng I know is not such a person......
Seeing that the frightened look gradually gathered on her slap face covered with heavy makeup, he curled the corners of his mouth lightly, smiled, and explained in an elegant voice:
"It's telling you to take your hands away."
"Oh......"
She woke up suddenly, Weng Sheng responded angrily, obediently stretched out her right hand, and spread her five fingers.
His face turned red again, and even the pale color of the incense powder could not be concealed.
He also reached out to hold her little hand, and suddenly his eyelashes were slightly raised, and his ink-colored eyes flashed with dazzling brilliance, staring at the scarred little hand for a long time, and it would not disappear for a long time.
She looked at his aberration, puzzled, and cried in a low voice:
"Overseer?"
As soon as he came back to his senses, he was silent, gently put the small porcelain cup into her palm, and helped her hold her slender five fingers.
"Xiang Yusan is dissolved with glycerin before each use, and while applying it to your hands, you can also try to wipe your face......"
Looking at the swollen little face in front of him, Leng Qingtang's eyes were deep, and a little bit of ghostly light shone brightly.
asked her abruptly, her voice soft, rippling like a pampering:
"Does it hurt?"
The celebrant has many eyes and ears, and he must have heard of his punishment.
Gu Yunxi looked at him gratefully, and smiled astringently:
"The overseer is at ease, the slave and maid have always been the thickest-skinned."
He laughed "poof", but after that his heart was convulsed with pain.
He has never endured a knife in his heart, he knows that even in adversity, with the ability of a girl, she can live, and live well.
But he has never done anything to her.
Gu Yunxi looked up at the sky, only to realize that the hour was not early, so he blessed Leng Qingtang with a little helplessness in his tone:
"The slave and maid have thanked the overseer for the medicine, dinner is coming, and the slave and maid are going back to the palace to serve the master."
"Okay, there you go."
Seeing the girl turn around, she slowly walked away step by step, Leng Qingtang bent down to pick up the things under the tree, but she couldn't move.
Just now, he deliberately held her hand and experienced it carefully.
He knew that the face-changing technique was only changing a person's face, and the rest of his body was still the same as before.
And no matter how magical the face swapping technique is, it can't completely change a person's voice, body shape, and posture.
Once, he hugged Yunxi's body countless times, and even held her small hand with his big hand countless times.
He still remembers her body silhouette vividly, and the feeling of holding hands with each other is more like being seared in his heart, and he remembers it deeply.
That's right, it was the girl's hand just now. He was so familiar with her that he could recognize every inch of the wrinkles on that hand!
She is Yunxi, and Tu Duxue is his Yunxi-
For more than a year, where did she go, how much suffering she had suffered, how much pain she had suffered-
In the golden autumn season, the evening breeze blows, and the yellow flowers of the trees are like rain.
Leng Qingtang's eyes wet in the rain of flowers.
He hurriedly raised his head, and the ruddy wings of his nose fluttered for a long time before swallowing the damp heat into his stomach, and the scene in his field of vision gradually returned to clarity from blur.
Sometimes, he really felt that the status of the admiral was a burden, so that he could not control his emotions as he wanted. Even if you want to cry bitterly, you have to be patient.
PS: Haha, the previous routines were all agreed upon by the male and female protagonists and then something went wrong, and the last party broke the appointment. Feng'er said that she likes to break the routine the most, and she successfully went to the appointment, and the plot is very warm and not sadistic.
I set off at dawn, and I can't go back to visit you. When Feng'er left, the deputy moderators will help me distribute the red envelopes on time, and those who are willing to subscribe can receive the red envelopes by themselves, and then make up for them when they come back.
See you in the next chapter of "Dawn Night Xuan Encounters Poisonous Snakes"~
