Chapter 14: A Visit to the Concubine
Concubine Xi, who was still full of anger, saw the delicate and lovely person in front of her, and her mood was calmed down a little. Reluctantly took the teacup:
"Qiandie, what do you think the emperor thinks? I know I like you, but I still insist on giving that ugly monster to Zhu'er. If Zhu'er had married you that day, I wouldn't have been able to even drink tea now, and I would have sulked in the temple by myself. Tell me, when I came back yesterday, the ugly monster, as the new concubine, didn't greet me at the door, and he didn't come to say hello until the evening. just relied on the support of the emperor, and didn't take me, the concubine, in his eyes at all! ”
Qiandie stretched out her hand to caress her back, and sighed smoothly: "I heard that the princess's sister was angry with the prince and the second lady of the Xiao family in Tingyang Pavilion yesterday, I think she must be in a bad mood, so she didn't come out to greet you, which is also understandable......"
"What?" As soon as Concubine Xi heard this, she was so angry that her eyebrows rose up, and her voice became sharp: "You mean that ugly bastard even ran to Tingyang Pavilion on the day of the wedding?" ”
Seeing that Concubine Xi was so annoyed, Qiandie's face turned white with fright: "Aunt doesn't know about this?" Yes, it's a thousand butterflies who have a lot of mouths......"
Concubine Xi was so angry that she couldn't drink a sip of tea, so she simply smashed the cup directly towards the door: "What kind of system!" ”
With a "bang", the delicate teacup broke into several petals at the door. The hot tea splashed out, stopping the footsteps of the Seventh Prince, who was about to enter the door.
Lazy deep eyes casually swept around the mess in the house, the seventh prince lifted the hem of his clothes and walked in slowly: "Why is the mother so angry, what makes the mother so angry?" ”
As soon as Qiandie saw the Seventh Prince, her eyes lit up, and her joy was overflowing: "Brother Zhu, are you back?" ”
Before the words fell, he saw Chu Xuewei walking in behind him, and his smile froze on his face. After a while, she still obediently greeted the salute: "Qiandie has seen the princess Niangniang." ”
A thousand butterflies?
Chu Xuewei looked at the little beauty in front of her intently: Could it be that this is the little master of the Thousand Butterflies in Luoshi's mouth?
Gentle and generous, delicate and lovely, if you walk like a weak willow supporting the wind, every move is full of tenderness.
Coupled with her already pretty face, compared with Chu Xuewei, who has terrifying poisonous spots on her face, she is indeed more qualified to be the Seventh Princess.
She also politely returned the salute, and then turned to greet the angry Concubine Xi: "Xue Wei has seen the concubine. ”
Concubine Xi didn't look at her squarely, but just glared at the Seventh Prince: "I just went to the temple for a day, why did I come back and become the biggest joke in the city?" ”
The Seventh Prince sat next to her by himself, holding his head lazily with one hand, with a lazy and casual attitude: "Hey, who is so bold as to dare to make the mother concubine angry?" ”
As he spoke, his eyes swept over Chu Xuewei coldly.
"Huh!" Concubine Xi snorted coldly, and then turned her gaze to look at Chu Xuewei, her eyes were full of anger: "On the day of the wedding, I ran away to find my old lover, and the trouble was known all over the city." How shameless does it take for a woman to do such a thing? ”
Chu Xuewei bowed slightly, and continued to stand here cheekily. She never expected the Seventh Prince to speak for her, and if he didn't set a trap for her to jump, she would thank the Emperor and the Queen of Earth. Now she just begged Concubine Xi to finish scolding quickly, so that she could leave.
The cunning eyes turned, and finally raised his eyes to look at the Seventh Prince.
He lazily lifted the lid of the teacup and blew on the tea leisurely. The same action, but he does it with a chic flavor.
With a gentle sip, he lazily raised his eyes, just in time to meet Chu Xuewei's pleading gaze. The beautiful deep eyes were evil and cold, and he slowly spoke: "What do you see me doing?" It's not like you're going to give me tea. ”
Chu Xuewei's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded happily, now she knew what she should do next: "Yes, the concubine will give tea to the concubine immediately." ”
Before the words fell, she got up and knelt straight on the cushion, the teacup was held high by her, and she said crisply: "Mother-in-law, please drink tea!" ”
"......" Concubine Xi looked at the tea noodles raised by Chu Xuewei and shook the tea, and rolled her eyes a few times in anger.
Gong Xiuzhu has always had a strange temperament and a perverse personality, and he hates to obey other people's arrangements the most. As long as it is something he doesn't want to do, even the emperor doesn't want to force him. But this time, why was he so tolerant of Chu Xuewei?
After a few circles of thoughts, Concubine Xi still suppressed the anger in her heart, and bluntly took a sip of the tea cup in Chu Xuewei's hand.
Then, she slammed the teacup into the tray, and her tone was the same cold and hard:
"Today, since I have already drunk your tea, then you are already a member of the Seven Kings' Mansion. The Seven Princes' Mansion has always been the most honor-oriented, if you do such a humiliating thing in the future, even if you are given by the emperor, don't want me to let you go easily! ”
"The ...... of the concubine"
Chu Xuewei opened her mouth, and was about to explain a few sentences, when Qiandie on her side walked forward quickly: "Auntie, don't be so strict with your cousin!" You see, my cousin-in-law has already learned that she is wrong! ”
As he spoke, a pair of hands put on Chu Xuewei's arm. It looked like he was going to help her up, but in fact he pinched her hard, right on her wound.
"Ahh Chu Xuewei's little face turned pale, her hands also slipped, and all the teacups she was holding were thrown to the ground, making a crisp sound of "clang".
Concubine Xi was startled by this sudden sound, and said in astonishment: "What's the matter?" ”
"Cousin-in-law, what are you doing here?" Qiandie looked stunned, "Although Auntie's words are indeed harsh, she is for your good!" In Jiangguo, the most important thing for our women is honor and reputation. My aunt just drank your tea, which means that she accepts you, and you should listen to her teachings carefully, how can you still smash the cup and lose your temper? ”
Chu Xuewei was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Although the woman in front of her had just framed herself, she still slowly ignited a trace of admiration in her heart.
This woman reverses black and white, directs and acts herself, but she can still talk nonsense with her eyes open so naturally, she can't see any flaws, her acting skills are really excellent, and her psychological quality is also excellent, how can such a woman not be admired!
Obviously, Concubine Xi ate Qiandie's set very much, and immediately took the case:
"Chu Xuewei! Are you a lawless woman? "The nails smeared with bright red cardamom poked Chu Xuewei's face, and she was in pain." Now, you kneel in the front yard to reflect on me, and when you figure it out, get up again! ”
"Mother Princess......" Before Concubine Xi finished speaking, the Seventh Prince, who was silently watching the show, slowly spoke.
"Shut up!" Concubine Xi interrupted sharply, "Zhu'er, don't protect her today." I'm going to let her know what the rules are! ”
Looking at Concubine Xi's angry red face, the Seventh Prince smiled: "The mother concubine misunderstood, it is a matter of course for you to teach your daughter-in-law a lesson, who can stop it?" Erchen just wants to remind me that the front yard is full of green trees, and it can be described as very cool and comfortable in this hot summer, how can this be a good place for reflection? There was a clearing in the backyard, and when he looked up, there were no clouds, and Erchen thought that if he went there to reflect, it would be more effective. ”
