"Actually, my sister is beautiful, I think the prince must not forget it, anyway, no matter whether you are worried about your sister now, Miss will think that you have that thought, I am afraid that my sister will be even more sad in the future, my sister should think about it and seek a good way."

"Yes, what my sister said, it's not unreasonable!" Lingxi showed a sad smile, and her heart was even more cold, she didn't dare to imagine how she would be walking on thin ice and being cautious from now on......

Green Calyx is right, she can't go on in Weinuo, whether it is Bai Gongzi or the prince, she always has to choose one to rely on, so as not to live up to her good years!

———

The second watch has passed, and in the warm pavilion of the west chamber, the candle shadow is dim and silent.

Wen Xuan's elbows were leaning on the royal blue silk forging pillow on the kang, and there was a slight smile between his eyebrows, but his face was always faint.

"You're so nice to the minions, but people may not get your affection!"

Ming Shen stepped forward, personally poured a new cup of tea and served it, bowed his head and said with a smile: "Lingxi is the concubine's companion, and he also knows how to read and be courteous, but his mind is more sensitive, and it is also because the concubine usually does not teach him well, which makes the prince smile!" ”

"Have you ever heard the story of the farmer and the snake? Beware of being bitten when saving snakes. Wen Xuan took the teacup casually, his eyes were full of treacherous smiles, and under the light of the candle flame, it became more and more unfathomable.

"No, we have been sisters since childhood, and we know the ......roots," Ming Shen smiled confidently, although Lingxi had done something sorry for her, but she had always felt that Lingxi's nature was not bad, so she was a hundred reassuring to her, and even inside and outside the words, it revealed a lot of importance for their sisterhood.

Wen Xuan sneered, not wanting to discuss this stupid topic with her, and interrupted: "Didn't you say okay, I want to listen to you play the piano?" Still not playing? ”

"The concubine obeys!" Ming Shen blessed his body and summoned the "colorful phoenix" outside the curtain.

Caifeng responded, and Ming Shen then ordered: "Go and get my Jiaowei Qin." ”

"Yes!" Caifeng responded briskly, and within a moment, he placed a quaint Jiaotong guqin on the piano stand, and then flew out like a butterfly.

Ming Shen walked to the front of the piano stand and sat down, lowered his head and plucked the four strings, and sang quietly with a string of euphemistic and resolute clear timbre: "The world is a big dream, and life is cool several times." The wind leaves have been singing in the evening. Look at the eyebrows and sideburns. The wine is often sad and there are few customers, and the moon is mostly disturbed by clouds. Mid-Autumn Festival who shares the lonely light. Look to the north sadly. ”

Her voice was a little hoarse, but it was just right against this song, like the spring water flowing out of the cold spring, forcing out a bleak clear in the charm, which lifted Wen Xuan's spirits, and the whole heart was plucked again.

After the song, Ming Shen slowly got up and saluted: "The concubine is ugly." ”

Wen Xuan raised his head in surprise, looked at the little girl in front of him, and piled up a little sour meaning in his chest: "Dongpo Bachelor's song "Xijiang Moon" has been sung by you, and it seems even more lonely and lonely, it can be seen that now you are full of infinite feelings for your relatives, but you miss your mother?" ”

"Most of the rumors in the outside world are untrue, but after the prince asked just now, the concubine knew that the rumors were not groundless." Ming walked up to Wen Xuan cautiously, smiling skillfully, and her scheming was hidden between her eyebrows.

"Rumors? What rumors? Wen Xuan suddenly became interested, and said with a gentle smile.

Ming Shen knew that flattery would be able to please him, so he lowered his eyebrows gracefully and touted it vigorously: "The outside world is rumoring that the prince is a wishful gentleman who 'hears the strings and knows the elegant meaning', and he also made up a sentence 'I don't want the king to see, I want to know the king's face, I don't want to have a thousand gold, and I want to win the heart of the second master' to praise the prince." ”

Wen Xuan was handsome and happy when he heard this, grabbed Ming Shen's hand, easily took her into his arms, and asked with a wicked smile: "That king is in Shen Qing's heart, should it be the same?" ”

Ming Shen was stunned, hurriedly turned his face away, picked up the tea next to him and handed it to Wen Xuan and said, "Lord Wang, please use tea, it won't taste good when it's cold." ”

"Huh...... What does it matter when the tea is cold, you can use the internal organs to warm it. Wen Xuan smiled ambiguously, picked up the tea and looked at the tea and drank it carefully, and his mouth was suddenly filled with a bitter taste.

With a "poof", Wen Xuan frowned and spit out all the tea, and the ambiguous atmosphere that had just been created was also beaten away, only to see Wen Xuan with a bitter face, and asked very unhappily: "What kind of tea is this?" The taste is so bitter, do you dare to bring it to this king to drink? ”

When Ming Shen just cooked tea, she specially chose the tea leaves that her mother married her, and the leaves were all moldy, and even adulterated, so it was no wonder that she was not bitter.

But of course she didn't dare to say it to Wen Xuanming, and changed her face to be panicked, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Lord Wang, this tea is called 'Qingxin Tea', which is brewed with the most bitter heart of lotus seeds, although the taste is bitter, but it has the effect of clearing the heart and calming the qi, when I was young, I lived with my biological mother in the abandoned garden, we all drank this tea to quench our thirst, but I blamed the concubine for being too worried about my mother recently, so I often cooked this kind of tea to drink, but I didn't expect to just talk to the 'second master', and I forgot to replace the tea leaves." ”

After Ming Shen finished speaking, he raised the corner of his eye to peek at Wen Xuan's face, strongly suppressed the urge to laugh, and asked cautiously: "The prince won't blame the concubine, the concubine really didn't mean it!" ”

"How so? It's really hard for you to be filial piety, according to what you just said, your mother is very poor in the general's mansion, in fact, if you want to help her, you can clearly say, why bother to drink such bitter tea to this king? Wen Xuan pursed his mouth full of bitterness, glared at Ming Shen angrily, there was reproach in his tone, but there was no intention of blaming and angering.

Ming Shen's trick was exposed by him, and he knelt down in panic, and said embarrassedly: "The concubine is guilty, and sure enough, she can't hide anything from the prince's discerning eyes." Winter is approaching, and the concubine just wants to send some good tea silk satin to her mother, and hopes that the prince will be fulfilled. ”

Wen Xuan helped her up, a feeling of pity filled his heart, and he immediately softened his breath: "This king is approved, tomorrow you will go to the housekeeper to get some fine silk satin and tea, and ask someone to send it to your mother, if anyone dares to embarrass you, just say that this king means." ”

The corners of Ming Shen's lips hooked a successful smile, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, so he smiled: "Thank you for your compassion for the concubine's mother and daughter, this kindness and affection, I don't forget it, and the concubine will not dare to calculate you like this in the future." ”

"You, it's best to play less of these ghost eyes with this king in the future, otherwise once you are discovered by this king, you will never be spared!" Wen Xuan gently twisted Ming Shen's face, briefly explained a few words of his own private words, and hurriedly left the West Chamber.

Because the bitterness in his mouth was really unbearable, Wen Xuan had no interest at the moment, so he planned to go back to Tingyu Xuan and go to bed early after drinking the sweet soup, and there was something to discuss with Xi Linkun early tomorrow morning.

＿＿＿

At the third watch in the middle of the night, Ruyu finished the board and was helped back to the room by the little girls in the east chamber.

The moon-white silk satin pants on her body had already been stained red with blood, and the blood slowly flowed down her thighs, leaving dots of blood on the ground as it moved.

The girls put her on the bed, lightly removed the bloody pants, and saw that her snow-white round ass was beaten purple and black, and the most serious part had broken flesh and blood, which was really shocking.

Someone took the medicine powder to apply it to her, and the pain in her heart made Ruyu scream out, only to see her lower jaw rise up, her whole body trembled like a spasm, her snow-white forehead was covered with sweat, and her hair was sticky on her pale and painful cheeks, looking very miserable.

"What's it called, isn't it big enough to lose people?"

There was a sharp scolding outside the door, and then there was a "bang", and the door was kicked open by Jin Yanjiao, but she was covered with a three-foot chiffon white yarn that dragged the floor, and entered the door with the wind.

A long black hair is scattered softly behind him, green silk eyes, red lips and bright teeth, like a hibiscus out of the water, lined with the gorgeous golden face of the past, quite a bit of the haggard beauty of washing away the lead.

Ruyu looked at Jin Yanjiao tremblingly, her face couldn't tell whether it was sweat or tears, she just cried aggrievedly: "The incompetence of the slave has disgraced the master, but ...... But...... If it weren't for the cousin of Concubine Shen's mother-instigated it, why would the slave be humiliated in public, and the slave would not be concerned about this grievance, but the slave is the lady's maid in marriage, and it depends on the master to beat the dog, and the concubine is clearly resentful of the last golden hairpin incident and deliberately retaliates against Mrs. ”

Jin Yanjiao walked to the window with a solemn face, suddenly turned around and glared at Ruyu resentfully, and scolded: "If you don't respect yourself, if you want to go down, don't complain that others will take you wrongly, and you have only been beaten more than 20 times, and you have not disregarded any decency, it is really dog meat that cannot be served to the banquet, and it is in vain that Mrs. Ben used to raise you, I can't imagine that you are so useless!" ”

Ruyu was shocked when she heard this, hurriedly rolled off the bed, knelt down beside Jin Yanjiao, and whimpered in a low voice: "The slave has failed Madame's cultivation, and he really deserves death, but Madame can't bear this breath!" Concubine Shen's mother is by no means an ordinary person, the last golden hairpin incident was when she helped Concubine Shen get out of danger, if she continues to stay by Concubine Shen's side to give advice, I am afraid that in the future, Mrs. will not be favored, and she will be replaced by others! ”
