Volume 024: This man is a painting
At this moment, he looked at Mu Xue condescendingly, and when he saw her pious attitude, he nodded invisibly to indicate that he believed in her temporarily.
"Hmph, it's better to be so."
He left the high seat and went to the round table on the other side.
It is already filled with eighteen delicacies.
After the man sat down, he found that Mu Xue was still kneeling there, and said impatiently: "What? Do you want this king to invite you? ”
Mu Xue was innocent and got up aggrieved.
"The concubine didn't dare to move without you speaking...."
When the man saw her like this, he softened the coldness on his face for the first time, and the aura around his body did not look as unkind as it did at the beginning.
This man is a painting.
Every move is elegant, even if it is just a simple act as pouring wine, it is pleasing to the eye.
Mu Xue has always looked at beautiful things twice, but she received a cold warning from the man: "Look again, this king gouged out your eyes." ”
Get!!!
The goodwill is lost in an instant.
The good feeling of being as transparent as a glass house shattered to the ground.
Then Mu Xue didn't look at it anymore, and just ate slowly.
Between the two people without saying a word, there is a peaceful atmosphere circulating between each other.
After the meal, the man gently put down the jade chopsticks in his hand, and there was a soft click.
Seeing that he glanced at herself and seemed to have something to say, she also put the dishes and chopsticks.
"Tomorrow is the second day of the Lunar New Year, it is the day when you should go to your mother's house to pay New Year's greetings and gifts."
Before he finished his words, Mu Xue took the lead in cutting off his words: "The concubine understands, you don't like to go out, and the concubine will go back alone." ”
He glanced at her unexpectedly, and then nodded: "This king remembers that you said that you are a very strong person, if you are like a pus-filled bag in the General's Mansion tomorrow, this king does not mind sending you back with a letter of resignation."
Mu Xue didn't notice what he had ordered.
On the contrary, there was a hint of snickering joy in his heart, and he was glad that this man actually remembered what he said.
A subtle smile curled into her lips, and she took the opportunity to ask him for someone.
"Then tomorrow, the concubine hopes that Lord Jiang can accompany the concubine to go back."
"Hmm."
His tone was light, and he seemed to be very talkative.
Thinking of the inhuman abuse she had received in the General's Mansion before, an irrepressible resentment surged in her eyes.
It's as if I can't tear those people apart right now.
Besides, even if you don't earn face for the palace tomorrow, you will have to vent your evil anger for yourself.
And Ming'er, her main purpose is to bring Yunzhi back.
"The concubines also had to go to the treasury to get gifts and money. Looking back, I'll ask the butler to write you a booklet. ”
"Hmm."
"I'm going to bring a maid back tomorrow, and I'll report this to you in advance."
"Hmm."
His words were very few, most of them were Mu Xue saying, he nodded yes and shook his head no.
"Then if I bully Mu Wanting tomorrow, will you be angry?"
He looked at her with an interesting look, wondering why this woman had suddenly short-circuited her brain.
I saw him ask in a strange tone: "Why do you think this king is angry?" ”
"After all, after all, the person you are engaged to marry is not me. In case you have her in your heart, and I go to bully her, isn't it just doing something bad? Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of doing something wrong and making you angry? ”
It seems that the latter is really for him.
This kind of caution has been there since Mu Xue was educated on the first day.
At this moment, he was very satisfied that Mu Xue had such an awareness.
At this moment he got up, dusted off his non-existent dust, and seemed to be leaving.
"It's your ability to bully her to the point where you can bully."
Dropping these words, the man did lift his feet and walked away.
The meaning of this sentence is that you can bully you to the extent that you have the ability, and the king is not interested in caring about it at all.
With this sentence, Mu Xue's heart is counted.
The meal was very slow, and when Mu Xue came out of the main hall, it was already noon.
The sun came out, hanging cold in the air, and people didn't feel warm at all.
Mu Xue glanced at the non-dazzling sun, as if she was looking at the light in the refrigerator, shining a cold light.
"Princess, let's go back."
Mu Xue raised her hand, shook her head and said, "After lying for so long, I was delicate back and forth, and the bones of the sitting were crispy, anyway, wasn't the snow cleared?" Let's go back. ”
"But Princess, your legs?"
Mu Xue's legs are indeed not perfect, but walking is no longer a problem, but she can't walk too fast, otherwise it is easy to tear the wound.
She walked back slowly.
There was no guide in front of him, and every turn Mu Xue made to walk back was accurate.
The man stood on top of the watchtower, but the wind was even stronger in the heights, and his black hair danced wildly....
He saw with his own eyes that Mu Xue led the way and led a group of servants out of the funeral hall.
The layout of the interior of his Death Hall was designed according to the Nine Palaces and Four Bureaus, and if it weren't for someone who was familiar with the map, it would be impossible to memorize such a complicated route at once.
And this woman remembered it after two trips?
Still have some brains!!
The corners of his lips curled into a chuckle, as if he was in a good mood.
Jiang Ci also saw it, and asked suspiciously: "Lord Wang, do you say that this is from the Fei Qi Sect?" ”
"Why don't you believe that the little thing came to its senses on its own?"
His tone was as casual as usual, but with a touch of appreciation and pampering.
It's just that he hasn't realized it yet.
"This is deployed according to the four bureaus of the Nine Palaces, from the fan door to the gate of this main hall, there are four major intersections, and each intersection is the same. There are nine forks in the road, and there are eighty-one routes in length and short, and it will take a long time to go around a slight fork in the road. This princess..."
Although he didn't finish speaking, Nangong Li understood what he meant.
Don't you just don't believe that this is Mu Xue herself, who realized it after sitting on the coquettish twice?
The man stood with his hands in his hands and looked at the snowy patches below, his eyes looking at the distant sky.
"Tomorrow the princess will return to the General's Mansion, and you will go with her."
"Yes."
"After you come back, you must tell the king everything that happened in the General's Mansion."
"Yes, this is nature, rest assured."
Mu Xue walked back to the Fengluan Palace, maybe she had been walking for a long time, and her left knee had a faint pain.
It's tingling inside, so it's time to change the dressing.
But before she could sit on her ass and even take a sip of tea, she heard someone come and say that it was Aunt Jiu who came.
Mu Xue's eyes narrowed.
This man is really in a hurry.
She took the bait so quickly, but Mu Xue was not in a hurry, she only said: "Concubine Ben is still changing the dressing, let her wait." ”
That Hongling conveyed Mu Xue's meaning to Na Jiupei's ears, and Jiu Pei trembled with anger.
Yesterday I came to borrow a mask to humiliate myself repeatedly, and today I will turn myself away?
She glanced at the open door: "Sister Princess's change of medicine, Aunt Ben is very concerned, so naturally she should go in to visit." ”
After that, she directly crossed over such a little maid, and then strode towards Mu Xue's boudoir.
She must see what this Mu Xue's face has become again.
At the beginning, one or two people said that Mu Xue's face was better, and she was still a little suspicious, but when everyone said this morning that the princess not only had a good face, but the prince also did something to Mu Xue, how cold and arrogant is the prince, will he do something to the princess?
How could Jiu Pei endure this, and immediately ran in.
Mu Xue knew that it would be strange if Aunt Jiu was really obedient and waited in the icy courtyard.
Jiu Pei quickly strode in, and as soon as he came in, he stared at Mu Xue's little face, and he didn't even care about the courtesy.
"You, your face.... How so? ”
Seeing is believing, her tone was too shocked.
She even wondered if there was something wrong with her eyes, and rubbed her eyes vigorously.
Mu Xue spread her waist and reclined on the couch, hearing Jiu Pei speak, she seemed to be very surprised to open her eyes that were pretending to sleep.
"Ah, isn't this Aunt Jiu? What kind of wind is blowing you? ”
Jiu Pei was still in shock, Mu Xue hurriedly said: "Quick, show Aunt Jiu, come to tea." ”
Jiu Pei didn't have the mind to drink tea from the audience, and suddenly strode in front of Mu Xue, staring at Mu Xue's intact side face with a pair of eyes.
Mu Xue is not a person who can't stand scrutiny, so she showed her generously.
"Princess, how is your face so good?"
Forgive Jiu Pei for asking more directly, because she had never seen a disfigured person who could restore her face to its original appearance in such a short period of time.
Mu Xue touched the side of her face very proudly, and said as if unintentionally: "This concubine herself has the medical skills of living muscles and white bones, how can such a small disfigurement be difficult for me?" ”
Her eyes widened violently, and she subconsciously denied it.
"This is impossible, this is impossible, Aunt Ben has also seen countless doctors, and there is no good prescription that can heal the wound on her face so quickly."
"Oh, Aunt Jiu, don't worry, let's sit down and talk slowly."
Mu Xue took the temperament very seriously.
Seeing that she was in a hurry, he urged her to sit down and drink tea.
Jiu Pei sat down patiently, waved his hand again, and Guo Cui asked the subordinates of Fuyun Hall to put the gifts he brought on the table.
"These little meanings are a little bit of our aunt's heart, yesterday Aunt Jiu's words were a little conflicting, and I also asked the princess to read it for the sake of serving the prince with Aunt Jiu, please forgive me."
Mu Xue didn't even raise her eyelids, her mind was full of thinking about how she would get angry when she returned to the General's Mansion tomorrow.
Hearing this, he just said lightly: "Also, before the concubine entered the palace, Aunt Jiu was taking care of the prince, but it was really hard." ”
"It's not hard, taking care of the prince is what a concubine should do."
She lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, and she no longer had the arrogance she had when she faced Mu Xue on the first day.
"Well, Aunt Jiu won't have to work hard in the future, this hard work will be borne by the concubine for you, Aunt Jiu doesn't have any opinions, right?"
