Chapter 45: Greetings
The next day, Chen Xiaoxiao was dug up from the bed by Bai Zhi early, she was still sleepy, and after being forcibly pressed and washed her face, she was completely refreshed.
Bai Zhi combed her hair and put on a specially prepared ice blue shirt, which was dressed up and smeared with fat powder, giving her a lovely appearance.
When I went out, it was still gray.
When she arrived at the Silhouette Pavilion, the princess was freshening up, so Chen Xiaoxiao and the concubines stood together.
When everyone saw her, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes, but it was also for a moment, and they restrained.
"I've seen Concubine Liu, Concubine Li, hello sisters." Chen Xiaoxiao saluted.
There are only two side concubines Liu and Li, who are older than her, and the two concubines Yu and Feng are older than her, so she thinks that it should be right to call her sister.
Concubine Liu snorted in her nose, "Get up." ”
Concubine Li secretly glanced at Chen Xiaoxiao, there was a dispute at this time, she didn't want to pay attention to these, so she stood away from Chen Xiaoxiao.
Concubine Yu was close to Concubine Liu, she observed Concubine Liu's face, rolled her eyes a few times, and said to Concubine Liu flatteringly, "Concubine Liu, she is just a maid, and she dares to call you sister, she really deserves to be beaten." ”
Concubine Liu laughed in a low voice and glared at her, "You talk a lot!" ”
Concubine Feng looked at Chen Xiaoxiao sympathetically, she herself was no better, and she didn't plan to speak out for Chen Xiaoxiao.
Chen Xiaoxiao was shocked and defended, "The concubine body doesn't dare, the concubine body is called Concubine Yu and Concubine Feng's sister, don't you dare to call Concubine Liu and Sister Concubine Li!" ”
Concubine Yu squinted at Chen Xiaoxiao and sneered, "Don't explain, we all know what you're thinking." ”
Concubine Yu ordered someone to investigate it last night, and when she knew that Chen Xiaoxiao was originally a maid, her heart was dripping blood.
In order to send her into the palace, their family spent nearly half of the silver taels to send her in, this Chen Xiaoxiao is just a maid, how can He De let the prince personally admit her in.
This made her crazy with jealousy, and she swore that she wanted Chen Xiaoxiao to be good-looking, and just now she saw that Concubine Liu seemed to be dissatisfied with Chen Xiaoxiao, so she made a mockery of her.
Chen Xiaoxiao frowned, she didn't seem to have provoked this person, why did she target her so much.
Before she could explain, the princess's personal maid purple clothes came out, "The princess invites the masters to come in." ”
Everyone went in, and Chen Xiaoxiao followed behind.
After entering, Chen Xiaoxiao looked up and observed, and at a glance saw Murong Sheng sitting on the main throne, and Princess An was sitting next to him.
Murong Sheng was dressed in a moon-white shirt with narrow sleeves, the placket and cuffs were embroidered with royal blue silk threads, and his thin lips were gently pursed.
Liu Ruyu was dressed in a red palace dress, revealing a solemn majesty between her eyebrows.
Everyone, "Greetings to the prince and princess." ”
Murong Sheng, "Get up." ”
"Thank you, princess."
Everyone sat down one by one, everyone looked at Chen Xiaoxiao, and someone brought tea up, and Chen Xiaoxiao took the tea.
She came to Murong Sheng, "Lord Wang, please drink tea." ”
Murong Sheng took it expressionlessly, took a sip, and put the tea down.
Chen Xiaoxiao walked up to the princess again, and the next person handed another cup of tea to Chen Xiaoxiao, and she took it, "Please drink tea from the princess." ”
Liu Ruyu picked up the tea, made a tea-drinking shape, put it down, and someone sent the reward up, she said, "In the future, you will be one of our sisters, do not be kind to others, obey the female precepts, of course, the most important point is to open branches and leaves for the palace." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao saluted in a regular manner, "The concubine understands." ”
"This is your deed of sale, you can keep it for yourself in the future, these are given to you, and you can take it." Liu Ruyu took Chen Xiaoxiao's hand and put the deed paper into her hand, "In the future, your name Chen Xiaoxiao will belong to you." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao almost choked up, "Thank you, Princess!" ”
She took the deed of sale, spread it out, made sure it was the one, and had her handprint on it, before carefully putting her in her sleeve.
Bai Zhi came up and took Chen Xiaoxiao's forgotten reward down.
Liu Ruyu nodded, didn't want to say more, and said, "You go down and sit, today's happy event, your sisters will go back after breakfast at the concubine's place." ”
"Yes." Chen Xiaoxiao sat at the bottom.
After everyone was seated, Concubine Yu picked up the cup and faced Chen Xiaoxiao, "Come, the concubine will toast Sister Chen with tea instead of wine." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao glanced at her in surprise, stood up and clinked glasses with her, "Sister Yu is polite." ”
She remembered that Concubine Yu was actually very dissatisfied with her, and she respected her for some reason.
Concubine Yu pretended to take a sip, and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
Chen Xiaoxiao drank a cup of tea directly before putting down the teacup.
"I don't know how my sister went from a maid to a concubine, can my sister tell us about it, let us also listen to how my sister seduced the prince, and learn it." Concubine Yu stood straight and spoke in a loud voice.
Murong Sheng held the teacup and squeezed it carefully, feeling that this was so an eyesore for the concubine.
Everyone looked at Chen Xiaoxiao, Chen Xiaoxiao's heart was blocked, and she really lowered her attitude if she had nothing to do, and she must be holding back.
She took a deep breath and said good-naturedly, "Sister Yu said that she laughed, everyone has breakfast." ”
"My sisters are actually very interested, you can say it boldly." An unexpected voice sounded, and it was actually from the mouth of Concubine Li.
Everyone, including Liu Ruyi, didn't expect her to speak at this time, Concubine Li, since she entered the mansion, has always been arrogant, and she has never cared about other things.
This mouth suddenly spoke, strange, and Concubine Liu also glanced at her unexpectedly.
Concubine Li sat upright, as if the person who spoke just now was not her.
Chen Xiaoxiao just barely put up a smile, the corners of her mouth stiffened in embarrassment, she looked at Murong Sheng, and Murong Sheng looked away as soon as he touched her gaze.
Chen Xiaoxiao, "......"
"Okay, let's have breakfast first, and we'll talk about this matter after eating." Liu Ruyu spoke at the right time, wanting to relieve Chen Xiaoxiao.
"Please forgive me, the princess, the concubine is curious, and she feels like a cat scratching in her heart, so she wants to know the answer." Concubine Yu received Concubine Liu's eyes and said boldly.
Chen Xiaoxiao, "......"
It's not over yet, she seduces the prince?
How did she seduce her, they all thought of her in their hearts, and it was obviously the prince who forced her.
At this time, the prince still doesn't dare to look at her!
Chen Xiaoxiao was depressed, and Concubine Yu spoke again, "Forget it, it's all inferior anyway, let's not listen." ”
Murong Sheng's face darkened, and a crack appeared in the cup in his hand, fortunately, the water in the cup was gone, otherwise it would leak out.
Chen Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes in her heart, she couldn't afford to offend anyone here, Concubine Yu had the support of Concubine Liu, and she didn't have anyone.
Seeing that everyone was about to run out of patience, Chen Xiaoxiao was helpless, "Sister Yu, why don't you ask the prince, how did the concubine seduce him?" ”
She suspected that King An married her back and let him be bullied by these women, otherwise why would he be sitting there watching the play now.
Isn't he clear about how she seduced?
forced her to be his concubine, but now she is being questioned by everyone, saying that she seduced him.
Concubine Yu choked, and then she remembered that the prince was still here, and she secretly glanced at the prince.
