Chapter 11: Zifu
Long Yifei and his entourage came out of the drunken restaurant, and Wei Tong, a close confidant beside him, took a few steps forward and approached Long Yifei and said, "The eldest prince, the subordinates look at the woman who is at the same table as Cheng Wenchu and seems to be the county lord of Mingdeng. ”
Hearing this, Long Yifei's footsteps paused, and he couldn't help slowing down. Thinking carefully about the scene in the restaurant just now, he did see Cheng Wenchu at the same table with a woman, who was dressed in red and hung her head. His mind was on Cheng Wenchu, and his attention was naturally only on him, that woman, he didn't care, let alone see the other party's appearance clearly.
Suddenly, he shook his head, "Concise lamps have always liked only plain colors, especially white. makes people look like a fairy who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, but the world doesn't know her true face, but it's a pity that she has that skin. The woman was dressed in red, her head was lowered and she was very quiet, thinking that it should not be her. ”
Wei Tong didn't see the woman's appearance clearly, and when Long Yifei said this, he also felt that it was unlikely, so he couldn't help but joke: "That's right, this Bright Lantern County Lord is obsessed with the eldest prince, how can he eat at the same table with other men?" ”
Long Yifei was not embarrassed by this ridicule, but frowned two eyebrows, and his expression showed disgust. "That kind of woman who has nothing to show for herself, how can this prince look at it? Haven't all the results of the investigation been confirmed? She just knows how to use poison, and she doesn't know how to do medical skills at all, and this prince really doesn't know if she's stupid or what? Even if she has that little ability, she dares to see the emperor's relatives, hmph, you look at it, it won't be long before she finishes playing. My aunt will not let her go of her first, let alone Xu Jiang, who has a loving wife! ”
Both of them felt that they were at the end of the road, and they had returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion at this moment. She stepped into the Changming Courtyard with her front foot, and several maidservants followed with her back foot.
Jian Mingdeng thought that it was her father or Zhou's who had added service to her, so she frowned depressedly, and when people walked up, she couldn't help but frown when she saw the tray they were holding in their hands.
She doesn't like too many people to serve, and Jian Bosheng and Zhou unanimously acquiesced to this. Looking at the plain clothes on the tray, as well as jewelry and other items, she seemed to have guessed a little.
The maids and maids saluted, and one of them said: "Miss, the master sent the slaves and maids to send clothes and jewelry, and ordered the slaves and maids to wait for the eldest lady to wash and change clothes, and later the eldest lady will enter the palace with the master for a banquet." ”
Sure enough, the emperor held a banquet for Cheng Wenchu to wash the wind and dust, Cheng Wenchu has a special identity, and the emperor will definitely let the important ministers of the court accompany him. One of her daughters' family will be allowed to go to the banquet, and I think it is also because of the identity of the county lord.
After all, Cheng Wenchu is a young man, and it must be boring for a group of old men to accompany him, so the emperor asked the noble girl to accompany him, well, it is reasonable.
Jian Minglan didn't say anything, nodded in acquiescence. The maids put down their belongings and walked into the bathroom with a simple lamp. Put hot water, sprinkle flower petals, prepare fragrant pancreas and other things, they reached out to untie Jian Minglan's clothes, Jian Minglan hugged herself in fright, and shook her head again and again, "You all go down, I'm not used to others bathing me." ”
The maids covered their mouths and smiled, and then said solemnly: "Miss, it's nothing for you to wash yourself on weekdays, but tonight you are going to the palace for a banquet, and the master told the slaves and maids to make sure you dress up properly." ”
I couldn't help but say, a few maids neatly untied the belt of Jian Minglan with their hands and feet, except for their clothes. The last bandeau was removed, and the simple lamp slid into the bathtub with lightning speed, and the maid only felt a flower in front of her, holding the bandeau in her hand, and was stunned for a second.
They covered their mouths and smiled again, and the emotional lady was shy! Such a young lady is quite cute. They are not the maids who serve in Changming Courtyard, and the eldest lady has only been back home for a year, and I haven't seen this eldest lady much, but I have heard that she has a bad personality, and whoever provokes her is either diarrhea or sores all over her body, which is very terrible.
But looking at it now, the eldest lady doesn't seem to be what everyone says.
After some washing and dressing, it took more than an hour to finish. Jian Minglan didn't wear the clothes that Jian Bosheng had prepared for her, and that kind of fluttering clothes were not suitable for her. The county lord's formal dress is lake blue, a color she can accept.
It was the season of prosperity and blooming, and the climate was warm, and a white profane dress was worn under the Jian Ming Lamp, covered with a lake blue wide-sleeved tunic dress. I reduced a few pieces of clothing in the formal wear, so that the whole person looks a lot slimmer.
A maid with a long camera looked at the lamp and seemed to be thinking about something, but the lamp didn't see it, and the other maids sorted out their clothes. The maid ran to the closet, opened it, and began to look for it.
Shisu wanted to stop it, but Jian Minglan waved his hand and looked at the maid with interest.
After a while, the maid closed the door of the cupboard and happily ran to the bright lamp, holding a lake blue carved gold shawl in her hand. When he saw Jian Minglan staring at her, remembering his reckless behavior, the maid knelt on the ground and begged for mercy again and again, "The eldest lady forgives me, the slave just thinks that you are still lacking something in this dress, so she turned over the closet without authorization, and was rude in front of the eldest lady, and asked the eldest lady to forgive her sins." ”
Jian Minglan pulled her up, took the shawl in her hand and put it in the crook of her arm, turned around the mirror, and added a shawl, which actually subtracted the rigor of the county lord's formal attire and added more gentleness.
She knew that she had her own air-conditioning pressure, which made people afraid to approach, and her formal dress was too rigorous, and the two together, she looked like she was going to a banquet. added a gentleness to go in, integrating her cold temperament, neither eye-catching, but also decent, just in line with tonight's palace banquet.
"What's your name?"
"Slave... The slave and maid are called Xiaocao..."
Jian Minglan was a little surprised, the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion is too uneducated, right? The name of the subordinate is so rustic, if this is known to outsiders, wouldn't the Prime Minister's Mansion be laughing and generous?
Xiaocao seemed to guess what Jian Mingdeng was thinking, and said: "The slave and maid are always in trouble, and the housekeeper dislikes the slave and maid, so she didn't name the slave and maid, and this name was given by the slave's father." ”
I see, Jian Minglan nodded clearly, and asked, "How do you know that I am confused by your name?" ”
Xiao Prairie was very cramped, and now she saw that Jian Minglan showed no trace of displeasure, and she also relaxed. raised his head and gave Jian Minglan a smile, and replied: "Because the people in the house will be curious when they know the name of the slave maid, and you will definitely be curious if the slave maid guesses the eldest lady." ”
It's a clever girl, and the concise lamp nods approvingly. "In the future, your name will be Zifu, and you will serve in this Changming Courtyard, are you willing?"
Xiaocao was so happy that she almost didn't stand up and cheered, and nodded excitedly, "The slave is willing, the slave is willing, Miss Zifu Xie is famous." ”
