Chapter 36: The Woman's Style
When the knock came, I had already changed my dress and sat in front of the dressing mirror, I thought it was still Xiaoye waiting for me to freshen up, but it was Chu Lan who didn't want to enter the house, today's Chu Lan was wearing a light yellow shirt, which looked quiet and soft, and her skirt was embroidered with a few white magnolias, like the finishing touch.
Is it so Lan Xinhui, a woman with a sincere heart can't impress Li Xuan? She has served Li Xuan since she was a child, but after I entered the mansion, she was transferred to Moyuan to be my personal maid, does she not hate me or resent? I don't know what's wrong with myself, it's ridiculous that anyone can think of Li Xuan when I see it.
"Is the princess unwell?" Chu Lan put down the basin and asked. She approached, and her caring look didn't look like a fake.
I shook my head, holding my chin with my hands and not speaking.
Chu Lan naturally picked up the hair comb, for me to smooth the long hair like forging, her movements are very light and soft, as if she is afraid of hurting me, except for Aunt Yun, I like Chu Lan to curl my hair for me the most, she is skillful and meticulous, can make a lot of beautiful patterns, beautiful and vulgar, beautiful and indifferent.
Chu Lan skillfully picked up a strand of long hair, pulled it into a simple bun at the back of my head, and then selected a golden hairpin with hanging beads from the dressing box placed on the table, inserted* into the bun, and after straightening out the bangs, she looked at me in the bronze mirror and praised with a smile: "The princess is naturally beautiful, and any style of hair bun is extremely beautiful." ”
I heard the words and looked at myself in the mirror, I have to say that Chu Lan's craftsmanship is becoming more and more skilled, but I always feel awkward, and after looking at it for a long time, I know that it is my own stinky face, I can't help but sigh.
Chu Lan saw that I had something on my mind, so it was inconvenient to ask in detail, so she said: "Aunt Yun cooked a few light side dishes, and the slave maid will bring them." ”
I hummed, in good spirits, and when breakfast was served, I still didn't see Xiao Ye's figure, this girl has always been with me to eat, why is there no one here, I'm really not used to it without her.
"Where did Xiaoye go?" I asked Chu Lan.
Chu Lan smiled and replied, "She's busy making new clothes." ”
Looking at Chu Lan's appearance, I didn't seem to be surprised at all, but I was puzzled, thought about it and asked: "It's still early for the New Year, why do you rush to make new clothes at this time?" ”
"The princess didn't know that in the early years, when the slaves and maids first entered the palace as maids, the prince set the rules, and people could take turns to go home to visit relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, and then come back after a night's stay. This year happened to be Xiao Ye's turn, yesterday the housekeeper sent a few new clothes and some reward jewelry, she wanted to sew a few sets of new clothes for her younger siblings to send. Chu Lan's face was warm, she was sincerely happy for Xiao Ye, and she was even more grateful to Li Xuan, and she added points to Li Xuan for such a considerate kindness to her subordinates.
Li Xuan does have a hand in appeasing people's hearts, no wonder everyone from the housekeeper to the small guy is loyal to the Xuan Palace, even Shi Xiaoye has never complained in his heart after being beaten several times, I can't help but feel a little gloomy, no matter how good I am to Xiao Ye and Chu Lan, they are still on Li Xuan's side, and I am always isolated and helpless in the Xuan Palace.
And Li Xuan, the only one I could rely on, was forced away by my own hands in the early morning. I felt sour, my eyes were a little moist, I didn't want to be seen by Chu Lan that I was embarrassed and fragile, so I had to bury my head and drink porridge, and swallow the warm porridge, but I didn't know the taste.
After eating, I went to find Xiao Ye, and the maid who saw her said that she went to the account room to get the money, I asked the way to follow the direction of the account room, and when the girl finished receiving the money, I added a sum of silver taels to her, and I saw that she would not die.
The housekeeper will come to Moyuan every month to tell me the amount of money deposited in my account, Li Xuan is very thoughtful about the money, and the account office will leave a large amount of money for me on time every month, in case I need money urgently, but I rarely have a place to really use the money.
Suddenly there was a malicious voice on the path to the account room, strange but arrogant: "The master is not favored, and the slaves and maids who follow him are also poor like this, such a few small money, are you so happy that you can't close your mouth?" ”
"I deserve less money, unlike some people who always like to grab things that don't belong to them, and they don't know shame." I was stunned, this is Xiao Ye's voice, who is Xiao Ye arguing with?
"What nonsense are you! The master is shameless, you are shameless, if your master has the ability, why can't he even keep the prince's people? Isn't it our lady's defeat? ”
Xiao Ye was not to be outdone, and sneered at each other: "Hmph, if you are favored again, you will still be a concubine?" The child born in the future is not yet a concubine? Our princess is the wife of the prince who was carried in from the main gate of the palace in a sedan chair! ”
I heard it right, these words really came out of Xiao Ye's mouth, it turned out that Xiao Ye in front of me was still hiding her strength, she was a snake hitting the other party's sore feet with seven inches at this time, which was very powerful.
These words obviously completely angered the other party, I quickened my pace and walked over, and saw the maid standing opposite Xiao Ye raised her hand and slapped Xiao Ye's face, I didn't have time to stop it, and the slap was already towards Xiao Ye.
At this moment, Xiao Ye neatly stretched out his hand to hold the other party's wrist, and pushed hard, the servant girl was forced to take a few steps back, looking resentful and unwilling, Xiao Ye was domineering: "I am a servant girl, you are also a servant girl, if you want to beat me, you are not qualified." ”
How do I think Xiao Ye has the style of a heroine today?
I breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to pass by Xiao Ye's side when a sharp and arrogant voice sounded: "Chu'er is not qualified to beat you, Mrs. Ben should be qualified." ”
