Chapter Twenty-Three: Intention to Accept the Side
Since that day when he heard the pleasant voice of the beautiful woman on the street, King Yunyang has not been able to forget it for several days. After enduring it for a few days, he asked people to inquire about whose girl he invited to the palace on the day of the king's mansion.
It was no secret that the Fang family and Fang Mojiao were looked at differently by Princess Cheng, and the people in Yunyang Palace's mansion quickly inquired.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, King Yunyang smiled: "It turned out to be Fang Shilang's daughter, no wonder he dared to talk to this king like this, like his old man, he is a noble man." ”
King Yunyang thought for a while, and said to himself: "Since he is a high school, he can't use the previous method of this king. ”
As he spoke, he called the palace steward: "Open the king's private treasury and take some valuable gifts, and the king wants to propose to the upper family." ”
Hearing this, the housekeeper asked hesitantly: "Lord Wang, do you want to inform the princess when you go to Fang's house?" ”
King Yunyang's face sank, "This palace is the head of this king, what kind of thing is she, and she is also in charge of this king's affairs?" ”
"Lord, no matter what, the princess was married by the first emperor, if you treat her like this, if the regent knows about it, I'm afraid it will be a little unreasonable."
The housekeeper observed King Yunyang's expression as he spoke, and when he saw that his expression was getting more and more ugly, he chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly added: "The prince doesn't know, if the male owner of the family has a crush on a girl, you don't have to come to the door in person, just let the female owner come forward." Since you have taken a fancy to Miss Fang Er, it is better to ask the princess to come forward and propose marriage. ”
King Yunyang looked at the housekeeper expressionlessly, and the housekeeper wiped the sweat on his forehead, "The princess is a female dependent, if she comes to the door, she can still see Miss Fang Er." If the second girl is as she said, she is a water spirit, and the prince will not suffer a loss if he accepts people back; If she just has a beautiful voice and is not outstanding in appearance, the prince will be uncomfortable with her every day. ”
The housekeeper knew that King Yunyang was a good beauty, and the ordinary appearance was worthless in his eyes, so he dared to suggest it boldly. Princess Yunyang is also a powerful person, and she has been preventing her husband from going to the mansion for all these years, and the two have no relationship at all except for the name of husband and wife.
Although the housekeeper assists the master in managing the internal affairs of the palace, no one dares to offend the two big Buddhas on his head, so he can only coordinate in the middle with different tricks.
After listening to the butler's words, King Yunyang thought about it for a moment, and then asked the butler to talk to the princess about it. The housekeeper took over the errand, and as soon as King Yunyang left his face, he collapsed.
It is difficult to be a slave, and it is especially difficult to be a slave of Yunyang Palace!
I don't know how the housekeeper told Princess Yunyang that Princess Yunyang, who has always been jealous, actually agreed to go to Fang's house to propose marriage.
When Fang Mojiao learned that Princess Yunyang had come to the door, she had a bad premonition in her heart. Princess Yunyang's reputation in the circle of noblewomen in the capital is extremely bad, although Fang Mojiao has never seen her, she has heard many vicious things about her.
Princess Yunyang's family background is very good but her appearance is ordinary, she was given marriage to Queen Yunyang by the first emperor, and her husband was not loved, and on the wedding night, because her husband was cold, she killed two people who served King Yunyang in a fit of anger.
Later, as long as King Yunyang brought back a beauty from outside, there would be one more corpse in the mass grave outside the city. Sometimes it's a maid, sometimes it's a concubine who has fallen out of favor.
Princess Yunyang acted viciously, and King Yunyang was also very disgusted with her, but she still sat firmly on the throne of Princess Yunyang, not because the regent's beloved wife was her own sister. Because of this, King Yunyang was able to tolerate her until now.
The Fang family has no intersection with the Yunyang Palace, and it is never a good thing for Princess Yunyang to come to the door at this time. Thinking of Princess Yunyang's jealous temperament, Fang Moxi asked Baixi to quickly bring the box of fat powder sent by Du Miaoyi.
Baixi was a little puzzled: "Girl, that box of fat powder is added with peony pollen that you can't use, didn't you say that you want to give it to the eldest girl?" ”
Fang Mojiao snatched the fat powder box, "It's too late, I'll talk about it later." ”
After speaking, she dipped a handkerchief in fat powder and poured a layer on her face, and in an instant, her face began to be red and swollen, and dense red spots grew on her cheeks one after another.
"Girl, what are you doing here, what if you ruin your face?"
Baixi and Baihuan were about to get angry, Fang Mojiao endured the itch on her face and said, "Baixi quickly put away the fat powder, don't tell anyone that I used fat powder to do this." Baihuan, you go find a plain veil, I'm going to use it now. ”
The two maids had no choice but to do so.
Fang Mojiao covered her face with a handkerchief, only her forehead and eyes were exposed, and if she didn't look carefully, there was a kind of graceful and hazy beauty, if she got closer, she could see the faint red rash on her face through the handkerchief.
At first, Princess Yunyang was attracted by her two water-like phoenix eyes, and praised her face with a smile, but she was very reluctant to dig them out in her heart.
Fang Mojiao maintained a reserved style of boudoir daughter from beginning to end, allowing Princess Yunyang's sharp eyes to look at her repeatedly.
"Since the first time the princess saw Second Miss Fang, Second Miss Fang has been covering her face with a veil, what does this mean?"
Fang Mojiao hung her head and didn't speak, although Jane on the side didn't know what her daughter was doing, she tried her best to play a round for her, "Niangniang doesn't know, the little girl was very sick a few days ago, and now she looks haggard, and the little girl is afraid of offending the mother, so she covers her face." ”
Princess Yunyang's eyes kept staring at Fang Mojiao, and after listening to Jane's words, she instructed her henchmen: "Queqiao, you go and take off the veil on Fang Er's face, this princess wants to see Fang Er's face." ”
Jane said hurriedly: "Niangniang, I can't help it, I can't help it." ”
Where would Princess Yunyang listen to her, Queqiao stepped forward and tore off the veil on Fang Mojiao's face at the signal of her master, and when she saw her face, she couldn't help but gasp.
Princess Yunyang stood up suddenly, "What's the matter with your face?" ”
Fang Mojiao still didn't speak, but her tears fell big and big. Jane concealed her shock and sighed: "I don't know what's wrong with the little girl's face, it became like this overnight, and no matter how many doctors I see, I don't see it well." A few days ago, Princess Cheng heard about the little girl's condition, so she asked someone to pick up the little girl and go to the house. ”
How did King Yunyang look at Mo Ji above, Princess Yunyang had already heard from her entourage that day, and Fang Mo Ji had indeed never shown her face in front of King Yunyang.
Princess Yunyang stepped forward to check it again, and saw that Fang Mojiao's face had a genuine rash, and the jealousy in her heart disappeared in an instant.
With such a face, even if she enters the palace, what if the man with a bad heart can look at her more? At this moment, Princess Yunyang quickly made a decision, just as she wanted to be a good person on a whim.
"Second Mrs. Fang, I can't hide it, this princess came to the door this time to propose a kiss to my prince. A few days ago, my prince listened to the voice of Miss Fang Er on the street, and thought it was very beautiful, so he wanted to accept her as a side concubine. Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh, "Everyone in the capital knows that the prince of my family is not good at power and only loves beauties, so I am afraid that the girl will not be able to enter the mansion now." ”
Jane's and Fang Mojiao were stunned, it turned out that Princess Yunyang came to propose marriage, who in the whole capital didn't know that Princess Yunyang was the most jealous, and the sun came out in the west today?
They knew that Princess Yunyang was willing to take the initiative to accept a small amount for her husband, and the door above the house was just to see what Fang Mojiao looked like. If she looks ordinary, she will have an excuse to refuse King Yunyang, and if she looks good, she also has the means to make her unable to enter the palace gate.
Fortunately, she was lucky, even she couldn't stand Fang Mojiao's appearance, not to mention the Yunyang King whose vision was higher than that of ordinary people.
"The things brought by this princess will be rewarded to Second Miss Fang, Second Miss Fang is good at recuperation, it doesn't matter if her face is good or not, as long as her body is good."
After speaking, regardless of the expressions of Jane and Fang Mojiao, they hurriedly took people back to Yunyang Palace.
In order to know the result as soon as possible, King Yunyang didn't go anywhere, and stayed in the mansion until Princess Yunyang came back.
When he saw Princess Yunyang enter the door with anger, he thought that it had not been done. I thought to myself, I should have come to the door myself if I knew this.
"The prince is really a good eye!" Princess Yunyang suddenly said this.
King Yunyang was puzzled.
Princess Yunyang said with a cold face: "I thought that the prince had a good eye, but I didn't expect that there were times when I looked away, and the second girl Fang had a good voice, but that dignity almost made me vomit nauseously." ”
"What does the princess mean by this?" King Yunyang frowned and asked.
Princess Yunyang summoned Queqiao, "Queqiao, you are good at painting, show the second girl you see to the prince." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, someone immediately prepared a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Queqiao quickly drew Fang Mojiao with a red rash, red and swollen face that was about to cry according to her memory.
King Yunyang took a closer look, was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "She looks like this, Qi Mengxue, you really didn't do anything?" ”
Princess Yunyang snorted coldly, "If the prince doesn't believe it, it's okay to come and see it in person." ”
King Yunyang knew that although he was jealous, he would not lie to him, if Fang Mojiao was really like in the painting, he would still dispel the news of the concubine.
