Chapter Forty-Eight: The Visit
Su Wanqing didn't raise her head, she didn't even move her eyelids, and said lazily: "Don't go." ”
Tao Yao hurriedly said: "Miss, I heard that the second prince is traveling with Her Royal Highness the princess of Qingxiao Kingdom. Her Royal Highness wanted to be lively, so she invited a number of housekeepers and ladies to go. Although it is said that the second prince came out, it should actually be Her Royal Highness the princess who invited you to visit the lake. ”
Su Wanqing frowned slightly, and said with some dissatisfaction: "What's the point of swimming in the lake?" She wants someone to accompany her, and it's enough to lose money and goods, so what do you want me to do? ”
Su Wanqing's words were not polite, Tao Yao looked around nervously, and found that there was no one around, so she patted her little chest and said, "Miss, don't talk nonsense, if someone hears it, it will be a great disrespect to the prince and princess." When the time comes, the serious ones will be killed! ”
Su Wanqing glanced at Tao Yao, who was "intimidating" her with a serious face, and couldn't help but be a little speechless. Ever since this little girl had been overheard talking before, she was now as vigilant as if she was something. I am afraid that my every move will be seen by someone with a heart and fall into the handle.
Seeing that Tao Yao was so nervous, Su Wanqing said kindly: "Don't worry, without Miss Ben's permission, others will not dare to come in." ”
Tao Yao still looked around responsibly and found that there was indeed no one else except the two of them, so she was relieved.
She looked at Su Wanqing, who was still lazy, and said with a sad face: "Miss, that's Her Royal Highness the Princess, she invited you to go to the lake, but you didn't go." At that time, if Her Royal Highness the princess blames her, what should she do? ”
Su Wanqing remembered the scene at the dinner, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but sneer.
"It's just a foreign princess, what else can she do to your eldest lady, rest assured, it's okay. As long as I don't go, what else can she do to me? ”
Tao Yao nodded and responded, "That's right." ”
Su Wanqing thought for a while and asked again, "When is the time to swim in the lake?" ”
"Three days later."
"Then it will be said that I am ill and cannot go."
"Tao Yao knows."
Originally, Su Wanqing thought that this clumsy excuse of the ancients was very effective and easy to use. But it backfired, early the next morning, she had just gotten up, and Tao Yao hurriedly came to report that Her Royal Highness the princess of Qingxiao Kingdom had come to visit Prime Minister Su in person, and came to see her by the way.
When Su Wanqing heard the news, her first reaction was to scold her mother. Qing Xue'er is a dignified princess, does she need to visit a prime minister in person? Besides, she has nothing to do with her father. I'm afraid that I came to see her in this name.
But complaining and complaining, Su Wanqing also knows that the identity of the princess is there after all, and this is her own home. In front of the guests, he naturally can't be rude.
"Tao Yao, change Miss Ben's clothes."
"Yes!"
Today's Su Wanqing only picked a simple white long skirt to put on her body, in addition, there was only a simple and elegant plum blossom hairpin on her head, which loosely tied up a green silk, which looked casual and natural.
After Tao Yao put on the plum hairpin for Su Wanqing, she took out a box of rouge and was about to ask Su Wanqing if she wanted to put on makeup for her. Su Wanqing thought for a while and said, "Take out my previous powder, I'm going to wipe it today." ”
Tao Yao looked at her in surprise and said, "Miss, you rub that powder too white and thick, plus this rouge, isn't it ......?"
Su Wanqing naturally knew what Tao Yao meant, and the powder she was referring to was the one she had been wiping before she crossed over. These powders are not only white, but also very heavy, not to mention very uncomfortable to apply on the face, and they also look particularly like female ghosts.
But in the past, Su Wanqing thought that she was the most beautiful like this, so even if she was uncomfortable, she insisted on rubbing the foundation on her face every day, so that she could always look "beautiful".
After Su Wanqing came here, she basically didn't wipe anything in her small courtyard. She was only under fifteen years old, and her skin was so tender that she could squeeze out water, and she didn't need those cosmetics to add points to her.
But now, she doesn't want to show her face, and powdering is the best way.
"Don't be verbose, hurry up and apply it to me, otherwise I will snub Her Royal Highness the princess for a while, I am the only one who asks."
"Tao Yao is wrong, I'll paint it on the eldest lady now!"
Tao Yao's hand speed was very fast, and in less than ten minutes, she had successfully completed the task given to her by Su Wanqing. Su Wanqing looked at herself in the mirror with a snow-white face, and was still a little dissatisfied.
She glanced at the rouge box on the table, picked up one of the jars of bright red rouge, and wiped it on her face.
Under Tao Yao's stunned and speechless gaze, Su Wanqing was stunned and turned her originally delicate little face into a monkey's butt "white and red", which made people dare not compliment.
On the other side, Su Jianlian was sitting in the living room drinking tea, and under the seat was Qing Xue'er in a water-blue dress, and next to her stood Pei Qian, who was like a flower messenger. Su Jianlian secretly glared at Pei Qian, but still coughed and said, "Second prince, I'm tired of standing, let's sit down and have a cup of tea." ”
Because of the emperor's order, Pei Qian had to protect Qing Xue'er throughout the whole process, although he was a little impatient at the moment, but Her Royal Highness the princess likes to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he has no choice but to follow.
As soon as Su Jianlian spoke, he also hurriedly went down the steps: "Naqian is disturbed." He sat down on a chair next to Qing Xue'er, and a maid quickly brought a cup of steaming tea.
Pei Qian looked at her with a smile and said, "Thank you." ”
The little maid's face turned red, and she quickly lowered her head and said, "The second prince is serious." With that, he left like a frightened fawn.
Qing Xue'er maintained a decent smile, and didn't look at the maid, but looked at Su Jianlian and said, "Xue'er took the liberty to come over to disturb today, I hope the prime minister doesn't mind." ”
Su Jianlian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess is interested in the minister's mansion, and it is an honor for the minister." It's too late for the minister to be happy, how can he mind? ”
Su Jianlian smiled on the surface, but couldn't help muttering in his heart. This princess has no relationship with him, and she has no intersection at the palace banquet, so why did she come here today. He finally wanted to sleep in, but Her Royal Highness the princess came to visit early in the morning, followed by a second prince. Although he is the prime minister of the dynasty, he does not dare to slack off in the slightest.
After all, isn't it where the identity of the person is?
Su Jianlian and Qing Xue'er politely exchanged a few words, and Qing Xue'er said with some curiosity: "I don't know where Miss Su from your mansion is?" That night, Xue'er played on the same stage with her, and she was deeply impressed by Miss Su's drumming skills. Therefore, I came to visit Miss Su today and wanted to ask her for advice. ”
When Su Jianlian heard this, it turned out that he was looking for his eldest daughter. He was there that night and was also shocked by his daughter's drumming skills. The princesses of this country are all impressed by their daughters, and it seems that their daughters are really different.
Therefore, Su Jianlian's face seemed to be smiling, and he called a maid and said, "Where is the eldest lady?" Why is there no one to be seen? ”
The maid said: "The eldest lady has just gotten up, and now she is dressing up, please wait a while." ”
As soon as these words came out, Qing Xue'er covered her lips and smiled: "I didn't expect Miss Su to be so cute." ”
Pei Qian echoed on the surface, but in his heart he couldn't help but dislike Su Wanqing, a girl's family, she slept until the sun burned her butt and didn't get up, what kind of system did this become?
But they didn't know that at this time, if it was placed in modern times, it would only be seven or eight o'clock, which was indeed early for Su Wanqing. If you want to blame it, blame them for coming too early.
Su Jianlian didn't have the slightest surprise, he called the maid, but he just pretended to ask. He has been in the house for the past few days, so he naturally knows his daughter's virtue. If she doesn't sleep until the sun rises, she will never get up, and she can't move.
Thinking that the princess and the prince came to visit so early in the morning without saying hello, and wanted to cause their daughter to get up early, Su Jianlian was a little dissatisfied with Qing Xue'er. If Su Wanqing knew her father's thoughts, I was afraid that she would laugh at him again for being a "daughter slave".
A few people were talking casually, and a weak voice suddenly came from the door: "Yue'er came to say hello to Daddy." ”
Everyone looked at the door, and it was Su Wanyue, the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Su Wanyue seemed to have just noticed Qing Xue'er and them, her face was full of surprise, and then she hurriedly bowed her head and greeted: "Yue'er doesn't know that Her Royal Highness the princess and the second prince are here, how offensive they are, and they hope to atone for their sins." ”
Qing Xue'er smiled nobly: "It's okay, this is the second lady, she came to say hello to the prime minister so early, she is really a filial girl." ”
Qing Xue'er is a few years older than Su Wanyue, so she is naturally qualified to say so.
When Su Wanyue heard this, her face turned red, she lowered her head and whispered: "Her Royal Highness the princess has won the award, this is what Yue'er should do." ”
In such a comparison, Su Wanqing, as the eldest daughter, not only did not come to ask for peace, but also did not appear for a long time, making the princess and the prince wait for a long time, which is simply rude.
Some of the people present were a little dissatisfied with Su Wanqing in their hearts, especially Pei Qian, seeing Su Wanyue's supple appearance, and thinking of her gaffe that night, they couldn't help but feel a little more pity in their hearts.
"Yue'er, why don't you call some of your big sister and see if she's okay?" Su Jianlian said.
Su Wanyue hurriedly lowered her head and responded: "Yes, Daddy, Yue'er will go see the big sister here." ”
She turned around and was about to go out, when a cold voice came from the door, "No need, I'm already here." ”
Everyone looked at the door, and saw a beautiful woman in white slowly walking in. At this moment, the sun had come out, shining on her body, as if a fairy had descended.
But when everyone saw Su Wanqing's face clearly, their faces became very strange.
