117: Treat her like a fool
"Princess, the prince said that this is his intention, I hope you can put this puppet in the room as you promised the prince last night, in that case, the prince will be very happy."
Jiang Ci's sentence was a complete repetition of Nangong Li's words, and there was not even a single superfluous word.
Mu Xue didn't raise her head with a cold face, and her tone was extremely indifferent: "I know,"
It wasn't until this Jiang dismissed that this Mu Xue raised his head and looked at the puppet in front of him, and the man insisted on sending this thing over, which really surprised Mu Xue.
Besides, the man also specially instructed that this thing must be placed in the bedroom.
If there was nothing strange in it, she wouldn't believe it if she was killed.
Mu Xue's heart was actually angry, this woman saw that Fei Qi's gaze would fall on this puppet from time to time, and she knew that there was something strange about this puppeteer.
"Fei Qi, this small-leaf rosewood is a rare object, how did our prince get it?"
Fei Qi always felt that Mu Xue seemed to be tricking her, but if the princess asked, she had to answer, as long as the princess didn't ask about that matter.
"This is given to our prince by the emperor himself on his birthday last year. It was also in September last year. ”
Nangong Li is September 12th's birthday, and after the small leaf rosewood arrived in Nangong Li's hand, the man began to carve according to the appearance of Qianxue.
And the slow work is meticulous, Mu Xue felt that she really made that man's beauty carried away last night.
How could it be possible to carve such a delicate puppet in a month?
A delicate handicraft starts from a piece of wood, moves the knife, grinds, polishes, the procedure is complex and changeable, how can it come out in a month.
So Mu Xue boldly guessed that this puppeteer was definitely not herself at first.
At this moment, she held the puppet in the palm of her hand and asked Fei Qi thoughtfully: "Is it exquisite?" ”
"The prince has specially learned from the master, and the technique is naturally superb."
Fei Qi's answer was decent, and there didn't seem to be any partiality in it, but Mu Xue was not very satisfied with this answer, and followed her words and said: "Naturally, it is superb, so superb that you can change the puppet figure at will, and no one will know about it." ”
Fei Qi felt that the princess's words seemed to contain great disappointment and sadness, and she even wondered if the princess knew something.
Although Mu Xue still had a shallow smile on her face, there was an indescribable emptiness between her eyebrows.
She casually put the puppet back again, and commanded, "Put this thing in the most conspicuous place, preferably the kind that others can see as soon as they enter." ”
Mu Xue still did what the man said when she knew that there was a big deal in this, just to know what the man's purpose was.
"After the concubine wakes up from a nap, invite Aunt Jiu to come over. Concubine Ben needs to know what happened to the wound on her face after using Concubine Ben's medicine?
In fact, she wanted to see the injury on Jiupei's face, which was just one of the excuses.
Fei Qi respectfully responded to the order, but she had some rumors about this matter and wanted to return to Mu Xue.
"Princess, you are now treating the wounds on Jiupei's face regardless of your previous suspicions, and now the people in the palace are praising you a lot, Princess, and the prime minister can support the boat in his belly."
For people to have such rumors, Mu Xue was quite surprised.
At this moment, she put down the wolf pen in her hand, rubbed her sour eyes, and said not very optimistically: "Let's talk about it if it can be cured." “
Mu Xue thought in her heart that if Jiu Pei knew that the prince had been making obstacles behind her back and didn't let her face be good, what would Jiu Pei be like.
"Princess, you don't have to be presumptuous, even Zhizhi said that every time you give the medicine is excellent, Princess, the scars on the slave's body have faded a lot with your medicine."
Fei Qi thought that the princess was not confident in her medical skills and plasters, but she didn't know the twists and turns.
Mu Xue took a nap after lunch, and when she woke up again, Fei Qi came to report that Jiu Pei was already waiting in the side hall.
Jiu Pei actually planned to come over today, but Mu Xue was not in the palace yesterday, so she didn't come.
This time she came over, all to thank Mu Xue for the ointment, she ordered the people to carry a lot of gifts, this time the attitude of Jiu Pei who came over was completely different from the past, and he saluted Mu Xue thoughtfully.
"Say hello to the princess."
Mu Xue had already covered the drawings in front of her with a book before she came in.
"Aunt Jiu, why be polite, just get up and talk."
After Jiu Pei got up, he beckoned to the maids behind him, and seeing that Mu Xue had some doubts in his eyes, he hurriedly said: "This is what the concubine has already ordered to be prepared, and I have never had time to send it to the princess, they are all exquisite jewelry, and I hope the princess likes it." ”
In Jiu Pei's heart, no woman can refuse these.
Besides, she also picked the best and sent it over, Mu Xue recently wanted to buy a manor, open a silver village, and decorate the manor, so there is a great lack of money, and there is absolutely no reason not to accept the things sent to the door.
She hurriedly motioned for Yunzhi to take it, and at the same time instructed Fei Qi to prepare refreshments, so that only Mu Xue and Jiu Pei were left in the room, as well as Guo Cui, the personal maid beside Jiu Pei.
Jiu Pei also had something to say to Mu Xue alone, and immediately let Guocui retreat.
After there were only two people left in the room, this Jiu Pei couldn't wait to tell Mu Xue about his reaction after taking the medicine: "Princess, although your medicine has a miraculous effect, but these medicines smell so bad when applied to the face, will there be any bad effects?" ”
"Do you have a better choice?"
Mu Xue didn't answer her question, but just blocked her words lightly.
Sure enough, this sentence immediately shut up Jiu Pei, and she also knew that she shouldn't be suspicious of Mu Xue, so she immediately covered her face and said embarrassedly: "The concubine is not suspicious of you, the princess, but the smell is really not good, too much to the nose." “
Mu Xue just chuckled when she heard this, and said at the same time: "Take off the mask, this concubine wants to see the effect." ”
The princess has seen all the ugly appearances that have been seen by the princess, and it is not reasonable to come here again at this time.
So this Jiu Pei immediately took off the mask without hesitation and put it aside.
The wound had healed a lot, at least not as if it had been looked at before, as if the shriveled dead skin had been removed and replaced by not a shallow trace.
Because of the passage of time, these scars seem to have come out of it.
"The most taboo thing about this ointment of this concubine is the spices and fat powder, you haven't used it recently, right?"
Before, Mu Xue still had a trace of compassion, and told this person from the side that the spices in her room could no longer be used.
However, Jiu Pei was only immersed in the joy that his face would be healed, and he didn't hear another meaning of Mu Xue's words.
In fact, this is not Our Lady of Mu Xue, but in Mu Xue's eyes, her biggest enemy in this palace is not this Jiupei, but Nangong Li.
In order to be able to escape from his side, Mu Xue will not let go of all the resources that can be used.
"No, no, at your behest princess, the concubine asked Guocui to temporarily put away all the fat powder and spices, and planned to wait for her face to heal."
"That's good、"
Mu Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes intentionally or unintentionally guided Jiu Pei's gaze to the puppeteer.
"It doesn't smell good, but if you want it to look good, you have to suffer something. You must have become so disgusted with the mask on your face that you hate to tear it apart. “
As Mu Xue said this, her eyes looked at the mask that Jiu Pei had placed on the table.
And these words hit the nail on the head, like a knife that fiercely picked open the fig leaf on Jiu Pei's body, revealing the resentment that tasted evil inside.
Of course she hated the mask on her face, and when her face was healed, she didn't want to see anything like a mask in her life.
I don't even want to hear the word mask.
Her little hands clenched, and she didn't know what she was hating in her heart, but she said with emotion: "The concubine body is not afraid of your jokes now, the concubine body and soul are especially grateful to the princess, you can heal the concubine regardless of the previous suspicions, but the concubine's heart is always unstable." ”
I don't know why, maybe it's because of intuition, she always feels that her face doesn't get better so smoothly.
"What do you mean by that?"
Mu Xue saw that this Jiupei's attention was never on the puppeteer, so she got up and walked to the shelf over there, hoping that this Jiupei's eyes would notice the puppeteer.
Sure enough, this Jiu Pei's eyes followed Mu Xue's figure to the shelf over there, and at the same time saw the puppet figure that was very collectible at first glance.
Immediately, his eyes widened, and he walked over in three steps and two steps, and said in surprise: "Princess, this is what the prince gave you?" ”
There was a planned smile on the corner of Mu Xue's lips, according to Jiu Pei's current level of obedience, it was much easier to talk here than to talk to Fei Qi.
"Hmm. Yes, "
Mu Xue tried her best to look happy, as if it was an honor to get this puppeteer.
But who can know the deep disgust hidden in Mu Xue's eyes at the moment, dare to take others to pretend to be herself, and pretend to be affectionate to give it to herself, last night fortunately it was the menstrual affair, otherwise it would really be worth the loss.
When Mu Xue thought of this, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Nangong Li played with her feelings like this, and played her like a fool, and sooner or later, she would return it to him.
"When the prince got this piece of small-leaved rosewood that is worth collecting last year, the prince was so close to the point that he couldn't put it down. It is simply worth the money to carve the princess into your appearance. The relationship between the prince and the princess is really a good story. ”
Jiu Pei said these words sincerely, she was the aunt she became three years ago, and before she became an aunt, Qian Xue had already become a vegetative person, like this puppet man, she had no autonomous consciousness.
