Chapter 12: Gu Fenglan wants to take a concubine
Early July.
I heard that the second lady of the Su family is a well-known beauty in the capital, her father is an important minister in the court, and she is the first of the hundred officials who assists the emperor in governing the country, and is one of the most authoritative figures except for the prince and the young master.
Prime Minister Su Cheng was deeply used by the emperor, and it is said that this family affair was asked by Gu Fenglan himself to give marriage.
The emperor has the beauty of an adult, and he prefers the king of Qin, so he naturally agreed to this marriage.
The fawn stepped into the house and cleaned around with a feather duster. looks like he has been wronged and has nowhere to release.
Mu Qingyan was made to stop what he was doing, and even gave up his position and let the deer clean up. Didn't ask what was going on. Probably guessed why the fawn was so angry.
I think it's because Gu Fenglan is about to marry the daughter of Prime Minister Su's family, and he has a temperament.
Seeing that she was still indifferent, she couldn't help but open her mouth.
"Miss, the prince is really ruthless, the front foot just demoted you to Lanyue Pavilion, and the back foot can't wait to find a family affair for yourself?! It's no wonder that Xiaolu was clumsy before, and he couldn't see that the prince was such a person! ”
The feather duster was thrown on the table by her in a puff, and there was a small echo.
Xiaolu's delicate face was full of dissatisfaction, and her tone was full of incomprehension of Gu Fenglan, as if she was the victim of the abandonment. And Mu Qingyan didn't care about the fact that his husband wanted to marry another woman. It doesn't seem to matter to her.
Mu Qingyan was holding scissors, facing the model made of wood in front of him who was trimming the size of his clothes, and he was not interested in Xiaolu's words at all. These are a few clothes she has made for herself in the past two months, and by the way, she also made two sets for Xiaolu.
Although she heard the fawn's words, she didn't stop what she was doing, and by the way, she pulled her over and measured her size with her hands. replied slowly: It's normal to be the prince's three wives and four concubines, and this is not something we should care about. After measuring the size, he spoke softly, "I'll just say, it turns out that the problem is here." She pulled the fawn aside and began to cut the excess fabric from the model. Then I took off my clothes and started to work like a stream.
A needle and a thread, a flying needle and a thread.
The fawn had an expression of fire burning to his brow. "Miss, why do you still have the heart to do this, what the slave said, did you hear it, I said that the prince is going to marry a new side concubine."
Xiaolu couldn't stand it anymore, and pushed the soon-to-finish clothes made by Mu Qingyan onto the table.
"Miss, aren't you worried that the new concubine entering the door will threaten your position? You are not afraid that she is the second Sun Wanting, and you should cry when the time comes. "The fawn looks like he hates iron but not steel.
"What does the fawn think I should do? Go to cry, make trouble, and hang yourself? Or is it gentle and generous to flatter him? Or beg him not to marry another woman?" Mu Qingyan simply put down the work in his hand. The fawn is getting stranger and stranger these days. She seemed to be worried about something, was she thinking too much?
"Miss, you know what Xiaolu means, why are you so serious about everything? If you had half the means of Madame Wan, you wouldn't have been thrown here? You're not bad, Miss is so smart, if you let go of your face a little, we can still save the prince, right? Why suffer here? is also looked down upon by those subordinates. Miss! You just listen to the slave and maid this time, admit your mistake with the prince, and it has been two months, and the prince is probably angry about what happened last time...... He will! The deer tugged at Mu Qingyan's sleeve and said bitterly, but he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"You have time to worry about this and that, why don't you go out for me tomorrow and do something, one moment scolding Gu Fenglan for being a scumbag, and then asking me to admit my mistakes with him, I really don't know what you think?" She has now figured out what she wants to do next, yes, she wants to put on a façade and work hard for her career, she has already figured out what she wants to do. In these days of being locked up, she was bored and made a few clothes, and she felt pretty good, after all, she had skills. In the past, her dream was to be a fashion designer, but life is so ridiculous, she entered the top team in the country and became a killer focused on training by the organization.
If it weren't for the family incident, she might still be that ordinary citizen. Live an ordinary and simple life.
Mu Qingyan's delicate face slipped through a trace of sadness.
She pulled the fawn aside and continued to finish the final work of the garment. When the clothes are ready, throw them to the fawn.
"Na...... The new clothes made for you, go change them and see if they fit? She pushed the fawn into the room, not giving her a chance to speak.
The fawn held the clothes, with a reluctant expression. After changing her clothes, she walked out, and Mu Qingyan looked at it fixedly, looking at a delicate and well-behaved little girl.
Although Xiaolu is very happy to have new clothes to wear, Mu Qingyan's matter has not been resolved, and her heart is always hanging.
In fact, what Xiaolu wants is not whether Gu Fenglan likes Mu Qingyan or not, she wants Gu Fenglan, an umbrella that can shelter Mu Qingyan from the wind and rain. After the last assassination, she couldn't let her guard down, Mu Qingyan didn't know her dangerous situation, but she knew.
A few days ago, another killer entered Lanyue Pavilion. Fortunately, the self-defense skills taught by Xuan Gongzi were good, and the young lady subdued the person without much effort, but not all of them could have such good luck all the time. If it doesn't work out this time, he will definitely send more powerful masters over, and then they will be passive, and the hidden arrows will be difficult to prevent. The young lady didn't know what it was, and she couldn't tell her that her father was going to kill her, something that even she thought was ridiculous. How does this make her speak? She really couldn't do it.
The last assassination did not succeed, although the murderer was subdued, but the young lady was a woman after all, and she still let the killer escape.
Xiaolu has bitter words, and even sometimes impulsively wants to tell her some of what happened to her, but she can't open her mouth when she speaks. After all, it's okay if she forgets, if she tells Mu Qingyan, wouldn't the efforts made by Xuan Gongzi be in vain? And these things are already ridiculous, did she tell Mu Qingyan that she was abandoned by others because she fell in love with a man and was pregnant with other people's children, and her father was afraid that her family would not be able to buy murder for such an unrealistic reason, I am afraid that even she herself would not be able to convince let alone Miss?
She was heartbroken about her own young lady's affairs, and her young lady didn't even know what she was nervous about, and it was really uncomfortable to think about it. She keeps this secret alone, and she is the most painful.
That's why she wanted Mu Qingyan to curry favor with Gu Fenglan, leaving here was the only way out for them. Otherwise, grandpa doesn't know what crazy things will happen. After all, she really can't think of a better way than this, and the only person who can protect Miss at the moment is Gu Fenglan, who is not a backer.
Mu Qingyan saw Xiaolu's sad appearance, thinking that she was worried because she didn't show favor to Gu Fenglan, so she didn't think much about it.
Not to mention this dress, when the deer wears it, it still feels a little beautiful and beautiful.
"Okay, the clothes fit well, no need to change them. I'll consider your words. Mu Qingyan was too lazy to keep going on like this, so he relented, but he still had his own little plans in his heart.
What Xiaolu wanted to say was also ruthlessly strangled in the cradle, and she could only look like she was suffering, although she knew that the young lady had compromised on face, but she knew that this was just an excuse to perfunctory her.
A few days later, because Xiaolu was wronged in the kitchen, he was ostracized by the subordinates in the house, and he was attacked in various ways. It's a little more excessive, and he puts her directly. The fawn fell and crawled on the ground in embarrassment, and the maids of the concubines laughed.
Mrs. Wan's personal maid Xiaohong looked at the deer who was bullied by her but couldn't do anything about her under her feet with satisfaction, she came over and squatted down, and said in a weird tone, "Isn't this the deer next to the princess?" Why is it so embarrassing? After speaking, he pretended to help the fawn up, but deliberately let go when the fawn was just about to get up.
Because of the tricks, the tomatoes hidden in the clothes were crushed, and the new clothes were dyed red.
Mu Qingyan saw that the deer hadn't gone back for a long time, so he came to look for the deer, because he was grounded, so he avoided the guards, but unfortunately saw a few bullying maids bullying the deer.
When Xiaolu saw Mu Qingyan coming, he quickly wiped away his tears and tried his best to pretend that he was fine. This made Mu Qingyan feel even more distressed.
"Tell me? Did she bully you? Mu Qingyan's eyes glanced at the maid who had knocked down the fawn just now, but that glance scared the maid to the point that her scalp was numb. I didn't dare to speak anymore, and I didn't look like I was domineering just now.
Mu Qingyan had the impression that this maid was Mrs. Wan's personal maid, because Mrs. Wan couldn't bargain with her last time, so she slapped the maid.
Sure enough, the poor person must have something to hate, she was still sympathetic to others at the time, and now think about Mrs. Wan's slap lightly.
