Chapter 6 Beauty pageant for the crown prince
The same position, the same action, the same two people.
Mu Xiaoxiao, who thought that she had come to the bitter end, knelt in the center of the hall again, and the person in the seat changed from the crown prince to the current queen, and it was estimated that it would not be long before she could see the holy face.
Lin Yunyao, dressed as a noblewoman, nobly picked up the teacup and took a sip, her voice was like bitter tea, astringent: "I heard that the prince has not returned home for many days. ”
I have to say that the queen is very well-informed, Mu Xiaoxiao pretended to be well-behaved and replied, "If you go back to your mother, the prince has not returned to the house for seven days." In fact, more than half a month has passed, and she has not sat down to eat with the prince.
"Do you know where the prince is now?" Lin Yunyao asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao's black and white eyes turned around, and she replied truthfully, "I don't know if I return to my mother." ”
"You ......" Lin Yunyao was so angry that her eyes were about to pop out.
Mu Xiaoxiao, who knew how to look at her eyes, immediately lowered her head and asked first, "Niangniang must know where the prince is, Xiaoxiao begged Niangniang for guidance." "And kowtow respectfully.
Lin Yunyao, who was about to get angry, saw that she was not stupid, so she suppressed her anger, and her voice was much lower, "It's okay if you want me to give you guidance, but you have to promise a condition to this palace." ”
Mu Xiaoxiao, who bowed her head, pursed her lips and thought to herself, obviously she wanted to use her hand to call the prince back, and she got cheap and behaved. When she looked up, she put on another face, and said hypocritically, "Please give me orders." ”
Lin Yunyao, who succeeded, hooked the corners of her mouth, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes were shallow, "This palace wants you to swear that with you for one day, Li Youran and Li Weiran will not marry into the prince's mansion." ”
Li Youran? Li Weiran? Who are they?
Forget it, anyway, what she is best at is to take one step at a time, Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at Lin Yunyao, raised three fingers, and swore sincerely, "The yellow sky is above, the thick earth is below, in my lifetime, Mu Xiaoxiao will not let Li Youran and Li Weiran marry into the prince's mansion, and if you violate this oath, you will definitely not die a good death." ”
Seeing her daughter-in-law so obedient, Lin Yunyao smiled happily, and personally helped her up, "Good child, it's so cute." ”
Mu Xiaoxiao didn't smile, "It's all the emperor's mother's guidance." ”
Hearing this, Lin Yunyao's smile deepened a little, she was not mistaken, Mu Xiaoxiao was definitely a smart person, and she liked to deal with smart people the most.
"Come, where is your prince?" She hooked her hands and motioned for Mu Xiaoxiao to lean her head over.
Mu Xiaoxiao obediently leaned over.
"Wanhualou." Lin Yunyao muttered quietly.
Wanhualou? Mu Xiaoxiao's head was running fast, wasn't it Hualou? Eh, impossible? Mu Xiaoxiao said in disbelief, "Niangniang, don't be joking." ”
At this time, Lin Yunyao's face did not have the smile just now, and Mu Xiaoxiao's heart also tightened, is it true, the smile on her face disappeared, she lowered her head stupidly, she didn't expect the prince to be this kind of person.
"I don't need to say more about the following things, princess." Lin Yunyao handed a yellow men's dress to Mu Xiaoxiao, who was silent.
Mu Xiaoxiao unconsciously pulled the corners of her mouth, this is asking her to go to Hualou! However, looking at the queen's pure smile, she could only take it hard. "Don't worry, Xiaoxiao will definitely get the prince back."
The outside of Wanhualou is also full of brilliance, in addition to the fluttering flags, there are also many sedan chairs of dignitaries and nobles parked at the door, Mu Xiaoxiao, who came to the flower building for the first time, couldn't help but take a few more looks, many young girls are outside to solicit guests, among which there are beautiful flowers, and there are also ugly.
Mu Xiaoxiao in men's clothing has a little more feminine beauty of Jiangnan men, and the long fan makes her more chic. As soon as she appeared, she attracted a lot of attention, and finally escaped from the girl's pile.
She hadn't taken a few steps before a guard stared straight at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought that the other party found out that she was a woman, and she was so frightened that her palms were sweating, but fortunately, the other party left after a few glances.
Mu Xiaoxiao, who entered the lobby by Shun, saw a scene that knew how to break customs, she tried not to look at it, and looked for the prince seriously, but unfortunately she didn't see Bo Zeyu after going around.
At this time, a rich man covered in flesh broke into her sight, and he went to kiss the girl next to him with grease on his mouth.
For a moment, Mu Xiaoxiao saw the face of the rich man as Bo Zeyu. She twisted her head to the side angrily, men are all virtuous, the family is not as good as the outside, she is also married to the media, where is not as good as these dusty women.
Angry, she shifted her gaze to the second floor, thinking that the prince must be somewhere upstairs. The sight is fixed on the long staircase leading to the second floor. Mu Xiaoxiao shuddered involuntarily, she had been at odds with the stairs since she was a child, as long as she stepped on the stairs, they would definitely collapse, and they tried and failed.
For the sake of her life, Mu Xiaoxiao decided not to go up.
Suddenly, there was a roar of gongs and drums.
The crowd poured towards the middle, and many people on the second floor walked out after hearing the noise, taking this opportunity, Mu Xiaoxiao stared at every door that would open, and the result disappointed her.
The people on the first floor all rushed in one direction, and she was squeezed in.
Since there were strange men around, Mu Xiaoxiao could only shrink her body and hope that the crowd would disperse quickly.
The old mother on the stage waved her handkerchief and opened with a smile, "I believe that all of you are here today for Miss Lansang." ”
As soon as these words came out, the people around them shouted as if they were crazy, "Lansang, Lansang, Lansang......"
Mu Xiaoxiao didn't hear a word of what the old mother said later. Thinking that she has never been sought after in her life, the world looks down on fireworks women, and there are no ignorant men who treat them as treasures and hold their palms, such as the prince.
Thinking of the prince, Mu Xiaoxiao raised her little face and looked at the second floor with her little face dedicatedly, but she still found nothing when she looked around. The elusive is about to become the label of the prince.
As soon as Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her head, the top of her head suddenly darkened, and she raised her face to look up like everyone else.
A pink ribbon flew by, firmly wrapped around the railing opposite.
The ignorant man called even more frantically, "Lansang, Lansang, Lansang......"
Although Mu Xiaoxiao blocked his ears, it was a pity that it still had little effect.
The beautiful sound of the piano sounded slowly, gradually overflowing like a tide, filling every space, the sound of the piano like water sounded leisurely, sometimes soothing like a flowing spring, sometimes rushing over like a waterfall, sometimes crisp like a pearl falling on a jade plate, sometimes low back like a whisper......
After the sound of the piano sounded, everyone quieted down, and Mu Xiaoxiao was also saved, rubbing his devastated and crippled ears vigorously.
Mu Xiaoxiao guessed that the person who played the piano should be the legendary Lansang girl, and I have to say that her piano skills are very exquisite. When she was a child, she also learned the guqin, so she knew that she could play it like that, in addition to being talented, she also had to practice sleeplessly.
If Lan Sang wasn't a woman in Hualou, she really had to talk to her about it.
As the thin woman floated down from the ribbon, the voices of the crowd reached a new height, "Lansang, Lansang, Lansang......"
Mu Xiaoxiao, who was one step late to block her ears, was shocked to the point that her internal organs were about to break.
Lan Sang sat in the center with the guqin in her arms, her face was covered so that only her eyes were left, and the mystery of holding the pipa and half-covering her face made her have an extra layer of hazy beauty. It's the same woman, why are there so many differences.
Some people who wanted to kiss Fang Ze tried to climb up the lobby, but they were stopped by the guards, which shows how charming Miss Lansang is.
Seeing the chaotic scene of the old mother, she immediately came out to play a round, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry, our Lansang girl is a new Oiran, and there are also many dignitaries and nobles who want to kiss Fang Ze and have been blocked by me, just for today, the old rules, the highest price gets." ”
As soon as the words fell, one after another shouts of price came and went.
In a short time, it went from 100 taels to 1,000 taels.
Mu Xiaoxiao observed for a while and found that the rich people were basically on the second floor, and after five hundred taels, basically no one dared to ask for a price on the first floor.
Thinking about it this way, the price reached three thousand taels.
On the second floor, a playboy who hugged left and right suddenly raised the price to 5,000 taels at once.
The old mother laughed and trembled, and hurriedly called the price, "Five thousand taels once, five thousand taels two times......"
Mu Xiaoxiao estimated that it would be at this price.
Suddenly, the door in the middle of the second floor was pushed open, and a strong wind came towards them, and many people closed their eyes uncomfortably, but Mu Xiaoxiao kept his eyes open and motionless, thinking, what a familiar feeling.
"Ten thousand taels." The man who came out lazily put his hands on the railing, he looked down at the beings, and accepted everyone's gaze as a matter of course.
If it weren't for the son, who had just sold five thousand taels, angrily closing the door, it is estimated that the old mother would be too frightened to bargain. She made a trembling voice, it should be the first time she has met someone who has mentioned the price of 10,000 taels, "10,000 taels once." ”
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at the man who had just walked out of the second floor with resentment, she had to train for a long time to gamble, and it was natural for him to spend 10,000 taels to buy a girl!
"Ten thousand two or two."
Good! Bo Zeyu, you have a lot of money, right? Then spend more.
"I'm one or two more than you." Mu Xiaoxiao, who looked dissatisfied, spoke slowly, and her voice still carried the unique sound of a woman.
The people around her looked at her with the eyes of a madman, and the originally crowded place became much more spacious.
Bo Zeyu easily found her, her cold eyes glowing with coldness, as if he recognized her.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoxiao was not to be outdone, and the eyes of the two people were entangled and condensed in the air.
Mu Xiaoxiao, who was trembling by him, was still staring at him, not even daring to blink his eyes, as if he would lose in the blink of an eye.
"Asking for a price!" Reminded by Mu Xiaoxiao.
The old mother reacted, "Ten thousand and one and two once, ten thousand and one two twice......"
Many people fixed their eyes on Bo Zeyu on the second floor, and he naturally would not disappoint his people, and his voice without a trace of emotion was loud, "Twenty thousand taels." ”
The old mother was so frightened that she sat down on the ground, her mouth trembling, and she could not say a complete sentence.
Those present couldn't help but applaud him.
Mu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, for the sake of a dusty woman, you actually paid 20,000 taels.
She didn't even think about it, so she choked, "I'm one or two more than you." Mu Xiaoxiao pointed the fan at Bo Zeyu on the second floor, and his eyes were about to burst into flames.
Mu Xiaoxiao's childish behavior attracted Li Tairan, who came with Bo Zeyu, he opened his shirt, revealing his strong muscles, and naturally shook out, propped up one hand on the railing, and looked at the domineering Mu Xiaoxiao on the first floor.
She was still fighting with Bo Zeyu, and her afterglow accidentally skimmed the man's open upper body, and immediately withdrew her gaze, and her face turned red all of a sudden.
After noticing her abnormality, Bo Zeyu turned his head suspiciously, and suddenly laughed when he saw Li Tairan's disheveled appearance. Seeing her posture of refusing to lose half a point in her eyes when she was vindictive, I thought she was not afraid of heaven and earth, but she still knew that she was shy.
Bo Zeyu, who was in a happy mood, didn't bother to meet her in general, anyway, no matter which of them took the picture, he paid for it. He just needs to find a step for himself, "It seems that Childe is bound to win, I won't fight with Childe, so let's do it, 20,000 taels will be out for you." After that, he glanced at Li Tairan and motioned for him to go down and pay.
After Mu Xiaoxiao on the first floor heard his kindness, he glared at him fiercely, and the afterglow once again skimmed the man's upper body, and bowed his head again.
Li Tairan, who saw this scene, said with a smile, "It turns out that the prince is so good, no wonder you can't look down on so many beauties." ”
"Less nonsense." After receiving Bo Zeyu's terrifying eyes, Li Tairan shrugged his shoulders and pouted and left.
The old mother happily ordered someone to take Mu Xiaoxiao to the lobby, kept waving her handkerchief, and threw her flattering eyes, "Congratulations to this son, may I ask the son's name." ”
"Mu ......" Mu Xiaoxiao, who almost revealed her real name, stopped abruptly, her black and white eyes turned around, and she exhaled like an orchid, "Mu Xiao." ”
The old mother didn't realize anything wrong, but took her arm affectionately, "Congratulations to Mu Gongzi for becoming the guest of Miss Lansang, come here, send it to the cave room." ”
"Another cave room!" Mu Xiaoxiao said what she was thinking directly without thinking about it, which made the audience silent.
Bo Zeyu on the second floor laughed out loud very unkindly.
Mu Xiaoxiao, whose whole face was flushed, took Lan Sang's hand and walked to the backyard.
The quick-eyed old mother grabbed her suddenly, "Mu Gongzi made a mistake, and the happy room is on the second floor." ”
"Second floor?" Mu Xiaoxiao twisted her small neck and fixed her gaze on the stairs, and the words of refusal were already on her lips. was frightened back by Li Tairan, who appeared quietly.
"Go quickly, Uncle Ben has paid the money." I originally wanted to please the prince, but I didn't expect to cheapen this kid.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn't dare to look down, so she could only blush and raise her head.
"You're a good-looking kid." Li Tairan suddenly stretched out his hand and compared her height, "It's just a little shorter." ”
Mu Xiaoxiao, who was frightened by the sudden movement, pulled Lan Sang and strode up the stairs, her heart beating anxiously with each step, for fear that the stairs would collapse.
Lan Sang, who was interlocking with her fingers, could feel Mu Xiaoxiao's palms constantly breaking out in cold sweat.
Bo Zeyu, who was leaning against the railing, saw her abnormality.
Mu Xiaoxiao, who felt the sight, raised his eyes and happened to meet Bo Zeyu's smiling face, afraid of being afraid of being seen by him, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly looked away.
The little head had just turned halfway when the entire staircase collapsed.
"Ahh Two screams pierced the sky.
Bo Zeyu, who was quick-eyed, grabbed the ribbon that Lan Sang used to appear, and the whole person flew over, as if a god had descended.
Seeing that everyone was frightened, they all broke out in a cold sweat, especially Li Tairan, who knew his identity, and his whole heart almost jumped out of his throat.
The house was filled with the sound of stairs breaking and collapsing, and dust flying everywhere.
"What are you doing? Go and save people! The nervous old mother urged the people around her to come forward, you must know that one is her top card, and the other is a noble son who can take out 20,000 taels at any time.
When the smoke cleared, a tall figure stood on the devastated wooden plank, and he looked fine.
"Ahh Pain! With a gasp sound, Mu Xiaoxiao, whose eyebrows were knotted, stood up from the ruins strongly, and after meeting Bo Zeyu's stunning eyes, she immediately pretended to have a no big face, in fact, the bones on her body were about to fall apart, and now it was a matter of time before she vomited blood.
Bo Zeyu carefully put Lan Sang down and asked, "Are you okay?" Although his eyes looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, his voice seemed to be asking Lan Sang.
"Thank you, Childe, for coming to the rescue." Lansang Lake's blue eyes looked at Bo Zeyu watery, but no one looked at it. Lan Sang shut up in amusement, just stretched out a hand and pulled his sleeve.
The old mother came to Mu Xiaoxiao's side and asked with concern, "Is Mu Gongzi okay?" Seeing that he was grizzled and dirty, he kindly wiped her face with a handkerchief.
"It's okay, why don't you go and see how they're doing?" Losing people does not lose the battle, Mu Xiaoxiao waved his hand, quite chic.
The sharp-eyed old mother shouted, "The arm is bleeding." ”
Only then did Mu Xiaoxiao put aside the gaze of Bo Zeyu and raised his arm, and sure enough, there was a long wound, which was still oozing blood, "What is this little injury?" Surprised for a second, she became calm again. Originally, it didn't hurt, but once I was reminded, it seemed to hurt more and more.
"Go get gauze and ointment." The old mother raised Mu Xiaoxiao's arm.
"Ahh may have twisted her muscles and bones, and when she was touched, she couldn't help but shout. The old mother was too scared to touch her.
Bo Zeyu on the other side saw her crying out in pain, and he was so angry that the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and when he was in the air, he caught her. But Mu Xiaoxiao Ning couldn't obey, so she broke away from his hand. Later, he caught Lan Sang, who fell slowly.
Mu Xiaoxiao, is it so difficult to make you soft? He angrily took steps towards Mu Xiaoxiao.
Lan Sang, who suddenly lost her support point, almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Bo Zeyu helped her in time. The cold voice couldn't hear a word of emotion, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" ”
Lan Sang, who was good at observing words and feelings, couldn't see through his thoughts, so he had to tell the truth, "My foot seems to be injured." ”
Bo Zeyu glanced sideways, probably sprained, he didn't say anything more, and stood upright, so that Lansang could help him. His gaze returned to Mu Xiaoxiao.
And she was using her infrequently used left hand to medicate her right hand, wrapping gauze. The action is very familiar. It doesn't seem to be the first time.
I don't know when the broken hair fell, but Mu Xiaoxiao, who was serious about medicine, didn't notice it.
On the contrary, the old mother who had been watching her on the side became suspicious, originally thinking that he was still young and had no Adam's apple, but now it seems that there is something else hidden. In order to confirm her thoughts, the old mother reached out and planned to tear off Mu Xiaoxiao's hairband.
This qiē did not escape Bo Zeyu's eyes, he was silent on the surface, in fact, nervous. For the first time, he was nervous about someone else, and he was taken aback by his sudden thoughts.
"Are you alright?" Li Tairan appeared at the right time.
Without saying a word, Bo Zeyu pushed Lan Sang beside him into Li Tairan's arms.
Li Tairan, who was pregnant with a beautiful woman, watched Bo Zeyu rush out like an arrow from the string.
Before the old mother touched Mu Xiaoxiao's headband, a black shadow took the lead and hugged her, because the speed was too fast, the two directly hit the wall behind her, Bo Zeyu was afraid of hurting her, so he blocked Mu Xiaoxiao's back with his arm, buffering a lot of impact.
"Boom!" A crisp sound sounded in Mu Xiaoxiao's ears, and her whole person was taken away from the ruins, and before she could react, she felt a strong heartbeat, as if it was not her own.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little restless and clutched the placket of the visitor.
"Prince?" Mu Xiaoxiao whispered in his ear, and his injured hand was raised high. It should be the fear of secondary injury.
In response to her, Bo Zeyu gritted his teeth, "Mu Xiaoxiao, you are very bold!" Every scene after Mu Xiaoxiao shook off his hand was like a slow motion replay in his mind, and he seemed to be scared at that moment.
Afraid......
Involuntarily tightened his arm, and only when he heard Mu Xiaoxiao's painful snort did he let go of his hand.
Mu Xiaoxiao blushed and pushed him away with her other hand.
The rejected Bo Ze Yutie asked with a blushing face, "Why did you come here?" ”
Mu Xiaoxiao is not stupid, she knows that she can't betray the queen, so she has a reason to say, "I'll come to see Miss Lansang, and by the way, I will choose a beauty for the prince." ”
"Hmph," Bo Zeyu curled the corners of his mouth, "Do you think I will believe it?" ”
"I ......" Mu Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and just wanted to explain something, but as soon as she saw the bottomless black eyes of Bo Zeyu, she was defeated.
Hey, the prince can only watch from a distance and not play with it, she can only bow her head and be strong, "Wanhualou is not opened by your family, I want to come, I can naturally come." ”
"Mu Xiaoxiao, have you ever heard that the whole world is not the king's land."
"......" she couldn't say a complete word with her mouth open for a long time, so she could only lie, "why can you come, I can't come." ”
"Okay, if Prince Ben doesn't come, you won't come either." It is estimated that the old mother has already seen Mu Xiaoxiao's identity, and if there is a next time, she will be sold with her brain and help others count the money.
Facts have proved that Mu Xiaoxiao is still very brainy when he is vindictive, such as now, "Prince Qiyu, there is a difference between men and women." Concubines cannot obey their orders. ”
Mu Xiaoxiao originally thought that Bo Zeyu would be so angry that he smoked, but he didn't expect him to be much calmer than he imagined. It's not like a prince! She shrunk her neck in fear. I felt like the air was getting cold for some reason.
Bo Zeyu stretched out a hand to clamp her chin, forcing her to look at herself, "Mu Xiaoxiao, we won't be able to come in the future." ”
"I ......" Before he could say a word, he was gagged by the prince.
The people behind him gasped. Everyone doesn't know Mu Xiaoxiao's real gender. I only know that two rich sons are kissing.
Originally, Bo Zeyu just wanted to scare her, but gradually he began to enjoy her softness, gently holding her upper lip, and making a saliva crackling sound, Mu Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, but Bo Zeyu was still afraid that she would suddenly move, so he clamped her injured arm.
It was also this action that made Mu Xiaoxiao sober up a lot, and she resistantly pushed Bo Zeyu away.
The gaffe prince didn't forget to peck shallowly before parting.
Finally separated, Mu Xiaoxiao asked the teacher, "You ...... You're taking advantage of me. She wiped her mouth vigorously, her two eyebrows were about to twist, and the skin on her mouth was about to be scratched. Bo Zeyu, who couldn't stand it, fortunately clamped her other hand.
Li Tairan, who arrived in time, stopped the two who were about to quarrel, "Prince, let's go first." His eyes kept sweeping over Mu Xiaoxiao.
Bo Zeyu quietly pressed Mu Xiaoxiao's head to her chest, and held her injured hand with the other hand. followed Li Tai and then walked out of Wanhua Tower.
The voices of shouting behind her came and went, and Mu Xiaoxiao thought to herself, she really couldn't come in this life.
The prince's skills are profound, and she is willing to bow to the wind.
