Chapter 64: Good intentions
The night is quiet, and the winter moonlight shines obliquely, and the ground is full of silver frost.
The lights and candles in the room had long been extinguished, and Mu Bangshang was lying on the couch unable to sleep, worried about Mu Wangge's body, now that his body was weak and not suitable for removing the Gu poison, he still needed to recuperate for some time.
She was imprisoned in her room, and King Yu ordered her to take care of his diet and daily life from tomorrow, and King Yu was moody, as long as he did not make trouble, it was already a good life for her.
In the silent night, he was alone in a daze against the dark night, and when he heard a gentle knock on the window, Li Ge lived in the opposite room, could it be so late.
Mu Bangshang hurriedly got up and asked softly, "Who is outside the window?"
"Ah Shang is me!" Li Ge's gentle voice came from outside the window.
Hearing his voice, Leng Lone's heart became warm, and his tense body relaxed, wanting to know Li Ge's current situation.
"Did King Yu embarrass you? King Yu has ordered me to take charge of his diet and daily life from tomorrow onwards. ”
Li Ge's voice was obviously choked, and he choked the words in his throat and swallowed them back, without opposing King Yu's arrangement, but his voice was dull and astringent.
"Dress! You can rest assured that King Yu will not embarrass me, I have already negotiated the conditions with King Yu, and King Yu will not hurt you. They will stay by your side and silently guard you. ”
The two of them obviously had the intention of having a concubine, but they were like thieves, who let them provoke Xuanyuan, the lone star of the day.
Mu Bangshang asked many times, but Li Ge didn't say what agreement he had reached with King Yu, but kept emphasizing that he didn't betray the relationship between them.
In a daze, Mu Bangshang fell asleep and woke up against the window, not knowing when Li Ge left, and the stove in the room had been extinguished. A hint of coldness.
The sky is getting brighter, the sky is full of light, the sky is already bright, and she is at a loss for the future, and she does not know how King Yu will torture her, so she can only come to cover the water and earth and wait and see what happens.
Xuanyuan got up very early to take a shower and change clothes, and review official documents, which has been a habit developed for many years.
The sky has dawned Mu Bangshang has not yet come, like dark pupils, the two of them have a private meeting in the middle of the night, thinking that he can't see it, stupid woman, so visionless, she will definitely regret choosing that waste.
A chill came from her nose, her body was too weak, and it was time to exercise.
"Ye Zheng, let Yan Jiu take her to the kitchen, and said that today I wanted to invite people from the palace to taste the beautiful pulp. No one is allowed to help her."
Ye Zheng frowned, there were one hundred and ten people in the palace, how many loads of beans did they need to grind, "The princess and princess are women after all, isn't it too ruthless." ”
Xuanyuan frowned gloomily, and said coldly: "If you don't suffer a little, how can you have a long memory, you don't have to intercede, the palace is not a good hall!" ”
Ye Zheng has already ordered someone to go to the tofu shop in the city to collect beans that have been soaked. Fang went to find Yan Jiu and told the prince that Mu Bangshang was responsible for the beauty of everyone in the palace.
Yan Jiu was just disappointed in Mu Bangshang, there is still friendship between sisters, the prince is really ruthless, and she is afraid that her life will be sad in the future.
knocked on the door and called, "The prince ordered Miss Mu to go to the kitchen." ”
Mu Wanshang simply freshened up, and was already waiting in the room, preparing for King Yu's summons. Hearing Yan Jiu's voice, King Yu ordered her to go to the kitchen, which was really a good place to go.
opened the door and said calmly: "Sister Yan, I'll go with you." ”
Yan Jiu was a little unbearable, "Wait, Miss Mu, the prince said that Miss Mu would be responsible for the beauty of everyone in the palace." ”
I didn't expect King Yu to think of such a way to torture her, isn't it just grinding?
"I know."
"Miss Mu, as the saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie, what's wrong with being a woman who is a prince, and you don't have to suffer."
"Sister Yan is also in pursuit of the night guard, uprooted from home, Sister Yan can choose the person she likes, I can't? I just want to love someone according to my heart, is that wrong? King Yu is so difficult, he is simply taken by force! ”
Mu Wanshang's eyes were red, and her righteous words were righteous, she once thought that Yan Jiu was one of the few women with a sense of justice.
Mu Bangshang was brought into the kitchen, and Ye Zheng had already prepared four loads of soaked beans, "Miss Mu, the beautiful pulp of Yuwang's mansion, only eight bowls of beautiful pulp per catty of beans, one hundred catties per catty, the prince is limited to you to complete it within two hours, and if you can't finish it, there will be no food today." ”
Mu Bangshang looked at the full four loads of beans, don't say two hours, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it in half a day.
It's just thinking of a way to torture myself, scooping a scoop of beans and pouring it into the grinding eye, the grinding disc is very large and heavy, and it is very laborious to push, and it is not long before the hands are blistered. The steps under his feet became slower and slower, and he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
His forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and if he went on like this, he would get tired of his crotch, and suddenly remembered Professor Yan Jiu's mantra.
Calm your mind, while practicing the mantra of Tuna, while the footwork of light luck, it is much easier.
Yan Jiu had been watching from the side, and wanted to come forward to help, but he was stopped by Ye Zheng, but he was not worried at all, and he only thought about the prince's intentions later.
Yan Jiu didn't see it yet, but he was worried that Mu Bangshang was a weak woman who didn't know martial arts, and she couldn't complete the task in two hours.
Yan Jiu is concern is chaos, seeing that Mu Bangsheng's steps under her feet are no longer difficult, that is not the time to teach her light kung footwork, suddenly looked at Ye Zheng No wonder he was not worried at all, the prince was really well-intentioned.
Early in the morning, Xuanyuan invited Li Ge to have breakfast together, and the kitchen sent a beautiful pulp, which was warm and white mist, "Today's beautiful pulp is sweet, the princess's craftsmanship is good, Brother Li has no harm to taste." ”
Li Ge agreed but asked King Yu everything, and learned that Mu Bangshang was punished by King Yu to grind beans, and he was angry and wanted to go over.
"If the prince really likes her, he shouldn't torture her."
Xuanyuan hooked his lips extremely coldly, with a mocking arc, he was teaching her how to survive.
"Torture! Don't assume that this king didn't see the two of you having a private meeting in the middle of the night, and if you want her to be comfortable, don't go to her again. As long as you get close to her, there are a thousand ways to abuse her, and if you don't believe her, try it. ”
King Yu ordered Mu Wanshang to grind the beans in two hours, and it took her four full hours, and it was already afternoon. If you don't complete the task, you won't be allowed to eat, and you'll continue grinding beans tomorrow morning.
Mu Bangshang drank two bowls of beautiful syrup and was not hungry, Mu Bangshang's disgust with King Yu had long been deep-rooted, and he couldn't wait to stay away from him and never see him again for the rest of his life.
Yan Jiu picked out the blisters on her hands for her, and applied jade dew to wrap her palms well.
Mu Bangshang didn't go to see her sister today, holding her tightly wrapped palm, in order not to worry her sister, she hid her hand in her wide sleeves.
"Sister Yan, I want to see my sister."
The prince only punished her with hard labor, but did not prevent her from moving freely in the palace, "Of course." ”
Mu Bangshang remembered the path to the side hospital, Mu Wangge's body was obviously much better than yesterday, seeing her sister coming, her emotions were a little out of control yesterday, and she shouldn't be angry with her sister.
Glancing at the bandaged palm in her sleeve, "Sister, you're hurt." ”
"It's okay, I accidentally cut it, your body is better, when your body is well recuperated, His Highness will remove the Gu poison for you."
Mu Elegy couldn't help but ask, "What's the injury on Shizi's face?" ”
"It's to save me, it's only temporary, and after a few days, when the scar on my face fades, I can take off the mask."
Mu Elegy heard that Li Ge's face was only temporary, and he was in a happy mood, but fortunately he was not really disfigured, "My sister and His Royal Highness are missing, my sister is very worried in my heart, and I am being bullied in this mansion again, and I am always thinking about my sister coming back." ”
"Being bullied!" Mu Bangshang was puzzled.
"Yes, it's the cousin of the prince, my sister has been absent during this time, and she has always regarded herself as the hostess, and my sister is the concubine of King Yu."
Mu Bangshang suddenly remembered that when she came back last night, she met Wen Zhen at the door.
That Wen Zhenmu has always had no good impression of her, and seeing that Yan Jiu is no longer there, it's time to tell her sister something, after all, she has a relationship with Cui Hu, and she is also going to marry Silla.
"Sister, I have a way to make our sisters free again. When your Gu poison is resolved, our sisters can go back to Silla with Your Highness. ”
"Back to Silla!" Mu Elegy was full of joy, and instantly became solemn again, "Will King Yu and the crown prince let us go?" ”
"Don't worry about this sister, I have my own way."
Yan Jiu came to urge, saying that the prince ordered her to prepare dinner, and the menu had been prepared, this time it was not poetry, and it looked much more normal.
Everything in the kitchen is ready, and the chefs can cook it directly.
If I didn't make that pigeon soup in the first place, maybe I wouldn't have become the chef of King Yu's Mansion today.
According to Xuanyuan's request, she prepared dinner, and she would taste everything herself, and sacrificed the Five Organs Temple in the name of tasting dishes.
Put the dishes into the food box and send them to the bedroom in person, no need to pass it on, Yan Jiu has already been waiting at the door.
The room is very lively, Li Ge is here, the ancestors and grandchildren of the Wen family are there, Wen Zhen and Xuanyuan have a very good relationship, and there is a delicate cousin by his side, and he has to embarrass himself.
Xuanyuan saw her diamond yarn-wrapped palm, as expected, but she needed to exercise well.
"Miss Mu, you haven't had dinner yet." It was Li Ge who spoke.
"Although this king has punished you for not being allowed to eat, you must have eaten too much in the kitchen." Xuanyuan's voice was indifferent and detached.
Wen Zhen was originally jealous because Mu Bangshang lived in Xuanyuan's reckless courtyard, but in the morning he heard that his cousin had let the woman go to the mill to grind beans, and at this time, he saw that she was completely reduced to a cook, and there was no scenery above the palace, and he couldn't help but gloat in his heart.
Mu Wanshang bowed her head, "The little girl has taken her leave." ”
Mu Bangshang turned around and left, Li Ge hurriedly got up, "Everyone, farewell!" Li Ge ran out with Mu Bangshang.
Xuanyuan looked extremely calm, as if he didn't see it, and put Wen Zhen's favorite dish into the bowl.
looked at Wen Tao, "I heard Zhen'er say that Zu Weng is leaving Yuzhou." ”
Wen Tao knew that Xuanyuan was doing this to show him, and he was showing his attitude towards the Wen family, "It's almost the New Year, you have to go back, Zhen'er will stay in Yuzhou first, Zhen'er is your real wife, you have to treat her well." ”
"Don't worry."
