Chapter IV: Dowry
Cai Ling thinks highly of herself, and she is not a person who is calm enough to bear the burden of humiliation. Destroying in the palace of King Qin started on the same day.
First of all, she went to the braised fish in the dining room but accidentally burned half of the room, she looked at the people in the palace busy fighting the fire with a face full of ashes, she was very guilty, but Manyun said: "Girl, why is this?" If the prince knows, he should blame the girl. She felt refreshed, and the guilt was greatly reduced.
In the afternoon, she wandered to the study, saying that she would take a casual look, but "accidentally" smashed the four treasures of the study. Facing the nervous housekeeper, she smiled slightly, "If it's not good, tell you the truth, this girl is in a bad mood and smashed his things." ”
has been presumptuous for many days, and the prince has never set foot in her small courtyard, and she is even more fearless and carefree. One day, she was fishing by the pond, but she couldn't catch a fish for half a day, so she was a little angry and asked Manyun to get a hoe, and whimsically wanted to dig a drainage ditch to drain the water in the pond.
Man Yun hurriedly stopped, "Girl, don't do it, this is a replica of the lotus pond in Ziwei Palace." In the past, when the prince was raised in front of the queen mother, he liked that place the most, and everyone in the palace knew it. If the girl ruined this lotus pond, the prince would definitely blame her. ”
She threw the hoe beside the willow tree, and her thoughts were full of thoughts, and there was a hint of emotion in her restlessness.
The lotus pond in Ziwei Palace blooms with snow-blue and white lotuses in summer, and dragonflies with colorful wings stay in the high places of the lotus canopy. The flat boat bent through the emerald green lotus leaves, and the sunset hung obliquely on the bridge. The handsome young man sat on the flat boat and read, the orange afterglow shone on his long black hair and moon-white clothes, and she shouted happily on the shore: "Shen Muchi, Shen Mu ......." The old lady hurriedly covered her mouth, "That's His Royal Highness the Third Prince." ”
The past is like the wind, and Gu is happy because of him. Not now, she picked up her hoe and dug a thin ditch along the shore.
After a while, the prince's attendant came to ask Cai Ling to come over. Manyun nervously inquired about the news, but Cai Ling threw the hoe casually: "I'll go with you." Since she destroyed the study, no one has shown her the way, and she has never had the opportunity to know Shen Muchi's residence, so it didn't take much effort to get it this time, she naturally wanted to go there.
Through the full moon gate, the courtyard is exquisite and elegant, and at the end of September, the golden cinnamon is fragrant, and the slightest trace of it is like being in the mountains and forests, and she can't help but stop for a moment. The attendant said, "My prince also loves osmanthus very much." ”
"Oh, yes. What a coincidence. She smiled, who in the city didn't know that the fourth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion had collected osmanthus to make a fragrant honey in order to get the sideways eyes of the three princes who loved osmanthus flowers, and smeared it on the wrist and neck, leading the new trend of incense used by celebrities in the capital. Now that I think about it, I was really tired of living in the past.
"Girl, please take a seat, the prince has some things, and he will come over later." The waiter introduced her to Shen Muchi's bedroom, although the room was extremely spacious, she saw at a glance that it was indeed the pear blossom wood bed, he had always liked to be elegant, and he didn't expect that even the brocade quilt and brocade pillow on the bed were all white. She smiled faintly, saying that she likes embroidered flower bed covers and emerald pillows, so lying on a soft bed at night is like falling into a sea of flowers, so that you can fall into a sweet dream. He's really boring.
If it is boring, the blue and white porcelain bottle in front of me is inserted with two Xinyi flowers, which is really chic and beautiful. But she had only read Xin Yi in the book, and she didn't know if it was the season when Xin Yi was blooming, so she wanted to take a closer look.
"Are you interested in the king's vase?" A low, melodious male voice came from behind her, and she turned her head to see him casually throwing a yellowed stack of paper in his hand on the desk. She felt that the stack of papers on the case was very familiar, but she didn't have time to look at it carefully, and heard him say, "If you have to smash it, these account books can be sent to Dongxi Building together." I heard Steward Wang say that Mr. Accounts is a good talker, and he reported it all without looking at the credentials. ”
She clenched her fists, but only smiled, "Good to say." These clutters are just like that for this girl. ”
"Sundries? It's a small thing to smash things, but it's a big thing to transform the palace, I'm afraid it's difficult for you to do it alone. Well, then, this king will send you two helpers tomorrow. The three of you can rest assured that you can do a great job. There was no joy or anger on his grim face, and he only sat in front of the desk and stared at her.
She pulled the chair across from the case and sat down, and said earnestly, "Actually, I have thought about it, what I am doing now is nothing more than to anger you for burning my dowry, money is something outside the body, and I don't want to be angry because of those boxes of clothes." Besides, you also know my heart for you, I used to love but couldn't, but now my heart is dead, after the storm calms down, you let me out, from now on you and I are clear, do you think it's okay? ”
"You are the wife of this king, why is this king clear with you?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Shen Muchi, are you confused!" She didn't want to say the next words, "You used to hate me, don't you remember?" Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival, you stepped on the Suzaku lantern that I made my own hands. I dragged you around, and you pushed me down in the crowd, and my finger was trampled off. She raised the little finger of her right hand and told the story of crying for three days and three nights.
"You know how happy I am now. Can I stop dressing up and will I still apply powder to my face? I was also glad to be able to wear only a moon-white shirt and an ebony hairpin. I used to live a very tired life in order to get your side eyes, and you should understand a thing or two. Cai Ling couldn't stop complaining, "So in the future, even if you have great mercy, you should let me live." ”
She chattered a lot, and he listened carefully, and the light raising of her eyebrows was a very relaxed gesture. It wasn't until she stopped to take a sip of tea that he said, "This king knows everything." ”
His light breeze made her emotional again, "You know everything? How could you possibly know everything? Shen Muchi, you are too arrogant. ”
"It's very clearly written in this stack of papers." His eyes fell on the thick stack of paper on the bookcase, and she reached out to look at it.
The words on the first yellowed piece of paper were written crookedly: Why can Shen Muchi look so good? is actually better looking than the eldest brother, and the sister-in-law dares to say that she is blessed to marry a son from a family with first-class looks and talents. If I can marry Shen Muchi in the future, it will be a blessing.
Her face flushed slightly, and she quickly flipped through the second one: What's so good about Shen Muchi? Jiang Cailing, as the daughter of the Xiangye, you must be reserved, and you must not ruin the reputation of the Xiangfu. No, why should the husband who pursues his future be reserved? Happiness is earned by oneself.
She felt very hot all over, crumpled the piece of paper, and looked at the third one: It turned out that Shen Muchi liked extremely thin women, it seemed that this girl was going on a diet for half a month, Tao Tao dared to find this girl for supper during this period, and he didn't want to see him for a few months.
She really is a forgetful person. Unable to look at it any longer, she threw the stack of papers aside, and said angrily, "The Prime Minister's Mansion was raided by you?" Why did this dross that this girl had written before fall into your hands? ”
He smiled lightly, his eyes curved into a beautiful arc, "You brought it yourself." Seeing that she was puzzled, she said, "In that agarwood box, are you afraid of the tide, do you still have to turn it out and look inside?" ”
Which desperate maid in the prime minister's mansion dared to put the stupid words she wrote to cheer herself up into the dowry and send them to the palace? She was angry and said, "Why are you rummaging through other people's things!" ”
"What is sent to this king's mansion in the open, how can this king not be able to see it." He smiled in his eyebrows, as if he was very happy to see her embarrassed.
"That's my dowry!" She argued. Wait, dowry. Didn't he burn her boxes of dowry? She stared straight at him with round eyes.
"This king has long said that rumors cannot be believed." Out of nowhere, he conjured a key and threw it in front of her, "This king is not stupid, the gold, silver and jewelry have been deducted to cover your accommodation and food these days, and you can carry your clothes and shoes yourself." ”
Although she slandered his small utensils, she was very happy because the dowry was not burned, and she felt guilty for messing around in the house in the past few days, and nodded again and again, "No problem, I am full of strength and I don't know how to do it, it is very good to move things, and I don't have to bother you to tell me where the things are, I ask your subordinates." ”
"Firewood room." He said.
"Firewood room. Oh, the firewood room is good, the firewood room is dry. She laughed.
She quietly reached out to reach the stack of very ashamed inner little Baiwen, but he quickly grabbed it all into his arm, "I have detained these, if you dare to continue to mess around in the future, this king will announce these to the world, see how you can be your Jiang Shao in the capital!" ”
What a shame! She said obediently, "Don't be impulsive, prince. These things have fallen to the people, and the little woman's reputation is not good, so it is really not good for the prince to become a joke. It's safer for us to burn it together. ”
"It's fine. This king is thick-skinned and not afraid. As he spoke, he put the dross in a brocade box. Fortunately, she quickly wrote down the appearance of the brocade box, and one day she would come and get it back, and she would no longer be controlled by others.
