Chapter 43: Change back into women's clothes to confess
In the palace of Nuoda, Shangguan Yutang is walking to the Miaozhu Garden where Shangguan Yuzhu lives, Miaozhu Garden is located in a remote area, Shangguan Yuzhu Xijing does not disdain to compete for favor, and spends all day in Miaozhu Garden with the green bamboo he planted.
Shangguan Yutang vaguely remembered that it was his father and aunt who forced his aunt to enter the palace, and after his aunt entered the palace, there was a gap in the brother-sister relationship between them.
Not far ahead is Miaozhuyuan, where there are very few palace maids and eunuchs, and Shangguan Yutang will not be criticized if she comes in disguised as a man.
"Third Miss?!" A crisp female voice sounded, Shangguan Yutang turned around, it was his aunt's personal maid to welcome spring.
"Sister Yingchun!" Shangguan Yutang smiled and stepped into Miaozhu Garden with her.
Yingchun is about twenty-two years old, and has been serving by Shangguan Yuzhu's side for twelve years, she has an osmanthus cake in her hand, and said: "It's rare that the third lady comes to visit the jade concubine tonight, let's hurry into the house, lest the osmanthus cake be cold." ”
The crispy and tender osmanthus cake exudes a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and Shangguan Yutang is greedy when he sees it.
"Jade Concubine Niangniang, guess who's coming?" Although Yingchun is Shangguan Yuzhu's maidservant, Shangguan Yuzhu has always treated her as a sister, and the relationship between the master and servant is like a sister.
Shangguan Yuzhu was dressed in a white Luo shirt, her long hair hung down behind her, and on weekdays, there were only her and Yingchun in this wonderful bamboo garden, and few outsiders came to visit.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw Shangguan Yutang: "Yutang, what kind of wind is blowing you?" Shangguan Yuzhu stepped forward with a smile and grabbed her hand, she felt very distressed about her niece.
Shangguan Yutang saw her aunt, and felt very cordial in her heart, more than ten years ago, it was her aunt who found her faint from hunger on the street and brought her to Shangguan Mansion.
In Shangguan Mansion back then, Shangguan Yutang had already confessed to Shangguan Wenchuan with blood, but Situ Lian did not agree to her entering the mansion, and Shangguan Wenchuan also hesitated, and in the end, Shangguan Yuzhu said something bad to make Shangguan Wenchuan reluctantly agree to her living in Shangguan Mansion.
When she was a child, her name was Xiao Yu, and when she first came to Shangguan Mansion, the begonia flowers in the house competed with each other, and her aunt gave herself the name "Yutang" on a whim.
Yingchun put the osmanthus cake on the table, and the three of them were happily eating the osmanthus cake together, Shangguan Yutang couldn't help but sigh: "The osmanthus cake made by Sister Yingchun is better than the one made by the imperial kitchen!" ”
Shangguan Yuzhu chuckled: "If Yutang likes it, I'll let Yingchun make some for you to pack and take back to Huguo Villa later." ”
Shangguan Yutang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't bother Sister Yingchun, next time I will come to Miaozhuyuan to eat!" ”
Shangguan Yuzhu was amused by her words: "Okay, my aunt is waiting for you to eat in this Miaozhu Garden." ”
Shangguan Yutang ate with bulging cheeks, and looked very cute, Shangguan Yuzhu looked at her, as if after Shangguan Yutang left Shangguan Mansion, she had never seen her in women's clothes again.
"Yu Tang, you are eighteen years old this year, do you have a man you like?" In the Celestial Empire, women can only get married at seventeen and men eighteen, and women will come to the door one after another after seventeen.
Shangguan Yutang works as an errand in Huguo Villa, and travels the rivers and lakes like a man all day long, but Siluo has to entrust Qiao Mu after all, and she is naturally an aunt and worries about her niece's lifelong affairs.
"Ahem, cough, cough" Shangguan Yutang was choked by her aunt's words, and Yingchun hurriedly poured her a cup of tea and smoothed her down.
"Ahem...... Thank you, Sister Yingchun. After drinking the tea, she instantly felt much more comfortable.
Shangguan Yuzhu looked at her like this, she must have guessed by herself, right?
"Which son-in-law is so lucky to be taken by our Yutang?"
Shangguan Yutang lowered his head embarrassedly: "The falling flowers are affectionate, the flowing water is unintentional, where is there any luck or not......"
There is a sense of self-deprecation in the tone, Shangguan Yutang is self-aware, Dugu Shaobai has no love for men and women, only brother and sister.
Shangguan Yuzhu saw her lost appearance, it should be a word-of-eight, right?
"Let my aunt guess who Yutang's crush is......" Shangguan Yuzhu pretended to be thinking, but in fact, she had vaguely guessed in her heart who Shangguan Yutang liked was.
"Duanxian is a high-powered, handsome and chic, upright person, and is the ideal husband in the minds of many girls, my aunt guesses, Yutang will like Duanxian King, right?"
"Huh?" Shangguan Yutang raised her head in confusion, she thought that her aunt could guess that she liked Dugu Shaobai, but she didn't expect that she guessed Huangfu Hongyi.
"Auntie, Hongyi is a high-ranking prince, I never dreamed of being a princess, Hongyi and I are just brothers."
Shangguan Yuzhu suddenly realized: "Oh...... It turns out that Yu Tang likes the water protector! ”
Shangguan Yutang sighed lightly: "It's a pity that the eldest brother doesn't know my mind." ”
Shangguan Yuzhu instigated her: "Men chase women across the mountain, women chase men across the veil, Yutang, you haven't shown your heart to Lord Dugu, how do you know that the flowing water is unintentional?" ”
Shangguan Yutang hung his head dejectedly: "I don't know how to speak......" She was afraid that she would be rejected by her eldest brother, and there would be a gap between her brother and sister.
Shangguan Yuzhu's jade hand rested on her shoulder and said, "Yutang, aunt gives you courage." ”
……
After a stick of incense
Shangguan Yutang looked at the person in the bronze mirror, his eyebrows were picturesque, his skin was better than snow, his lips were like cherry red, his eyes were like water under his long eyelashes, and the three thousand green silks were tied up with a pale pink hairband, and a peach-colored bead hairpin was inserted between the hairbands.
The person in the bronze mirror stood up, and a pale pink cloud smoke shirt outlined her slender and graceful perfect figure.
"Wow, Third Miss, you look so beautiful in women's clothes!" Yingchun sighed on the side.
Shangguan Yutang looked at herself in the mirror, her skin was like condensation with a little light makeup, it had been ten years, she had never worn women's clothes since she stepped into the Huguo Villa, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, this was a small wish of her own.
Shangguan Yuzhu looked at Shangguan Yutang in the mirror, put his hands on her shoulders, and asked, "Yutang, how is it?" Do you like it? Now do you have the courage to express your heart to Lord Dugu? ”
Shangguan Yutang's heart moved slightly, any girl wanted to dress up beautifully and appear in front of her beloved man.
She smiled and thanked, "Auntie, thank you." ”
Shangguan Yuzhu looked at the sky outside, it was not early.
"Yutang, it's not too early, maybe Lord Dugu is going back to Huguo Villa, go back quickly."
"Thank you Auntie tonight! I love this look! ”
Shangguan Yuzhu gave her the courage to confess, she couldn't let down her aunt's heart, she said goodbye to Shangguan Yuzhu and Yingchun, and left Miaozhuyuan.
……
Shangguan Yutang walked on the palace road, she raised her eyes to look at the full moon in the sky, her heart was nervous, her palms were sweating, for the first time in eighteen years, she was worried about the love between men and women, how to open her mouth to her eldest brother later......
Thinking about it, I suddenly heard a man's cry next to the lotus pond in front of me, someone was crying? Or a man?
