Chapter 022: Are You Jealous?
Hua Qing thought to herself, how could Mo Huaijin be like a nobody? The psychological quality is too good, right? However, she was embarrassed to say such things. Thinking about the body that she lost in vain, she is still sad, this kind of sadness can't be said to others, it's simple!
"Don't cry yet, you're crying so much that my heart is messed up. Can you tell you what's wrong with you? β
"You..... You go out first, and when I'm well, I'll go out to find you." β
Mo Huaijin didn't want to leave yet, but Hua Qing stood up, pushed him out of the door, and closed the door with a "clang". Outside the door, the more Mo Huaijin thought about it, the more strange he felt, and when he saw the purple kite and the green pothos watering the flowers outside, he called over and asked:
"What's wrong with your young lady?"
The two people shook their heads, and the pothos said:
"Back to the prince, the slave and maid don't know. It's just Miss Hua, when she came back, she was in a very low mood and was busy removing makeup or something. Later, he said that he wanted to go back to southern Xinjiang, probably because he was wronged, right? β
"She mentioned going back to southern Xinjiang?"
Mo Huaijin's heart suddenly cooled, he finally abducted her to the Central Plains, how could he let her go back so easily?
Just when I didn't know what to do, Hua Qing's door opened.
"Lord Wang, please come in."
Mo Huaijin nodded and followed Hua Qing into the house, and he asked with great concern:
"Tell me honestly, are you homesick?"
Hua Qing shook her head, and after calming down, she sighed:
"Childe, may I ask you a few questions?"
"You say."
Mo Huaijin sat down, Hua Qing also sat down beside him, she looked at the person in front of her, somehow, she didn't dare to look at him directly, she lowered her head and asked tentatively:
"I heard Hua Ququ say, she is your fiancΓ©e?"
Mo Huaijin nodded and said:
"Yes or no. When my father was alive, he made a covenant with the prime minister, and when the wife of the prime minister was pregnant, my father said that if she was born as a woman, she would marry me. Later, Mrs. Hua Chengcheng was born as a woman and was the eldest lady of Washington. However, a few months later, the eldest lady of Washington disappeared along with her original wife. Later, Hua Cheng continued the strings, and the step-room gave birth to Hua Ququ, so, strictly speaking, Hua Ququ is not my fiancΓ©e. Because, what my father promised to marry was the eldest lady born to the original wife, but he didn't say that I would marry the Huaqu from the stepfamily. It's just a rumor from the outside world, and everyone believes it after more than ten years. β
After Mo Huaijin finished speaking, Hua Qing didn't speak for a long time, and only then did he react and say:
"Silly girl, why are you suddenly asking this? You're not going to cry because of this, are you? β
Hua Qing was debunked, and hurriedly denied it:
"Not really."
"You're not jealous, are you? Are you jealous? β
Hua Qing shook his head again, Mo Huaijin thought that it was sure that he was in a hurry to deny it, he was quite happy in his heart, he saw that Hua Qing's cheeks were red, so cute, but his eyes were a little red and swollen. He tried to wipe away her tears.
Hua Qing hurriedly dodged and said:
"Why did you do it again?"
"Okay, okay, I won't move you, but you don't cry, it won't look good if you cry again. Let's go, I'll take you to eat, your breakfast is useless, it's noon now, and you must be very hungry. β
Hua Qing obediently followed behind him and accompanied him to the dining room for lunch.
When Hua Qing arrived at the dining room, she found that there was a full feast of clams on the table.
On the table, there are steamed clams with wine, spicy fried clams, scallion oil clams, steamed clams with eggs, clams with loofah pork ribs, and simmered clams with fresh mushroom and chicken soup...... She had a sour nose inexplicably, and turned to look at Mo Huaijin, but Mo Huaijin said:
"Don't be in a hurry to be moved, taste it first and see if it's delicious."
Can she not be moved? It was the first time she had seen such a complete set of clam dishes.
She looked at the delicacies on the table, and forgot that she was Mo Huaijin's scholar for a while, so she picked up the chopsticks on the table noisily, and steamed clams with wine with chopsticks, the taste of the clam meat was delicious, and there was a hint of sweetness, the wine flavor had been volatilized in the process of cooking, and it was taken away together, as well as the fishy smell of the clams themselves, only retaining the delicious taste of the clams themselves.
"How's it going, is it delicious?"
"It's delicious."
Mo Huaijin saw that she was eating happily, so she couldn't help but add more to her.
"Come, eat slowly, this is still here, this table is all yours."
The maids on the side looked envious and jealous, to tell the truth, they had imagined that the prince would marry a princess equivalent to him in the future, and they also imagined many ways for the prince and the princess to get along, generally respectful and respectful, never thought that one day, there would be a woman who was so favored by the prince like this, and behaved so naturally.
"Hua Qing, I'll discuss something with you."
"Can you wait until I'm done eating?"
"But you've got your burps."
"Because it's a clam, after the burp is empty, the stomach has a place to re-hold new food!"
β......β
As long as there is something delicious, no matter how big the troubles are, you can forget them.
Mo Huaijin didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only say:
"Well, you're right."
"However, the clams in the Central Plains, although they look bigger than those in southern Xinjiang, but for some reason, they don't taste so fresh. By the way, you just said that you want to discuss something with me? β
"Are you sure you're done?"
"Well, it's good to eat."
"Then let's go."
Mo Huaijin got up, and Hua Qing followed him out of the dining room. At the cloister, Hua Qing said:
"You haven't said you want to talk to me yet."
"I see that you have been very bored in the house these days, and you have never been detained like this before, so I plan to take you out for a walk, and by the way, buy some pen, ink, paper, inkstone or something."
In fact, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the palace have special supplies, but Mo Huaijin really couldn't find any other reason to take Hua Qing out, although he didn't kidnap her out to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Hua Qing didn't think about it, and agreed directly.
It was still early, Hua Qing thought that it would be inconvenient to go out in a flower skirt, so she asked Mo Huaijin to wait for her, she went back to the room and changed into a set of cyan men's clothes, and her hair was curled, looking very cute.
"Is it pretty?"
"It's good-looking, it's ......"
"What's it? Am I dressed strangely? β
It's not strange that a discerning person can see at a glance that she is a woman, even if she doesn't wear makeup, how can a man be beautiful like this, and besides, the scenery on her chest is horizontal...... Ahem, Mo Huaijin replied:
"It's not weird, it's not weird, it's good."
Hehe......
Hua Qing didn't stick to what he said anymore, and got into the carriage with Mo Huaijin, in the car, she didn't speak, but she always felt that Mo Huaijin was looking at herself.
"Are you looking at me?"
"Nope."
No? Although she didn't explicitly capture the gaze of him looking at herself, she always felt that he was looking at herself.
In fact, she was not delusional, Mo Huaijin was indeed looking at her, because he was full of curiosity about her dress today, he couldn't tell, anyway, he didn't dislike her masculine outfit in his heart, but felt a little neutral beauty.
The carriage stopped leisurely on Fanwu Street, and the two got out of the carriage, and Hua Qing was attracted by the rouge gouache shop in front of her.
The shopkeeper has sharp eyes, looking at the "scholar" dress in front of him, he is obviously a woman, and then looking at the boy next to her, he understands a little in his heart. He smiled and said:
"Girl, this is the finest rouge, made of pomegranate flowers, not only beautiful in color, but also good in taste. If you don't believe me, take a look at it. β
Hua Qing wiped a little on the back of her hand, smelled it, and sure enough, it was fragrant, she raised the back of her hand and handed it to Mo Huaijin and said:
"Childe, do you smell the fragrance?"
Mo Huaijin pinched her hand, Hua Qing felt inappropriate, and when she wanted to withdraw her hand, a woman's voice sounded next to her:
"Six Emperors...... Sixth brother? Is that you? β
Hua Qing and Mo Huaijin looked back, only to see the ninth princess in red makeup staring at the two of them with curiosity, Hua Qing hurriedly withdrew her hand, and Mo Huaijin smiled:
"Ninth sister? Why did you come out too? β
"I'm bored at home, so I'm out for a walk, who are you?"
"Oh, in the morning, they put on my makeup, and I think the rouge I applied was very fragrant, and when I saw it here, I came over to take a look, and look, this is it."
Hua Qing handed the rouge to the ninth princess, and the ninth princess took it, glanced at it and said:
"If you like it, buy it. This is not bad, but I am afraid that it will not be clean, and the color will be thin. I will send you a few boxes when I turn around, I have roses, rose petals filtered juice, and flower dew steamed, if you use it as lipstick, it is enough to pick a little with a fine hairpin, if you pat your face, pick a little with the palm of your hand, and the water can be wiped away. Look, it's the color of my face, what do you think? β
Hua Qing took a closer look at the face of the ninth princess, only to feel that her skin was delicate and ruddy and shiny, and she was surprised:
"You smeared rouge? Why can't I see it? β
"Of course, it's about half a fingernail after wiping it, haha......"
"It's so pretty."
The two talked and laughed, and got along very happily, Mo Huaijin found that he had nowhere to interject, but fortunately, the ninth princess found out his embarrassment, and the ninth princess asked her subordinates to buy rouge, and then she and the two of them found a restaurant and sat down, and when they saw that there was no one around, the ninth princess said with confidence:
"Sixth Emperor Brother, in this year's female virtue exam, the queen mother has given an order and designated the Zhaowang Mansion to send someone to participate."
Hua Qing was stunned for a moment when she heard it.
"Female virtue exam?"
"Well, the royal family holds an exam for women's virtue every year. Last year's exam was about embroidery, and this year it was cooking, and the people who referred to it were the unmarried daughters of the royal family and princely ministers. β
I see.
"That's not difficult, isn't Miss Hua the prince's fiancΓ©e? It would be nice to let her participate. β
When the ninth princess heard this, she hurriedly replied:
"That's not in order. How can there be a person who will stand out for her husband's family before passing the door, and after the disappearance of Hua Jiujiu, the eldest lady of Prime Minister Hua, there is only one Hua Ququ left in the Hua family, and her own family can't represent it, making up for the excitement of the Zhaowang Mansion. β
