Chapter 52

In the afternoon, Su Zhi was sent to the white terrace to wipe the steps.

And more than a dozen concubines and palace maids led by Liu Feiyan played the piano and danced not far away, rehearsing the evening program.

Not to mention, Liu Feiyan's piano is leisurely and beautiful, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a natural sound.

Yan'er, who had always hated Liu Feiyan, was also a little intoxicated, and turned around Su Zhi, who was mopping the floor next to her, "Concubine Liu really has a hand!" The master can't lose to her! ”

Su Zhi replied absentmindedly, and her mind was full of the shopkeeper of Baicaotang.

Liu Feiyan played a song, and everyone applauded. Someone sourly smiled, "A certain person can only get a few days of grace if he serves the king with Israel." His Royal Highness the Prince of Sister Liu's piano art never gets tired of hearing it, and I am afraid that I will spoil my sister for a lifetime. ”

"That's it!" Others chimed in.

"This piano was given to our mother by the prince this morning, and it is a thousand-year-old paulownia tree in the south of the Yangtze River, which is unique in the world!" Liu Feiyan's little maid Cui'er was very proud, and deliberately said loudly, "Before, the King of Chu took such a big jade bi and wanted to exchange this piano with His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness was reluctant." ”

There was a sour smell in the air, and everyone pretended to say, "Your Highness really has a heart for Sister Liu." ”

When it comes to rich rewards, no one can compare to Liu Feiyan. Although they are angry, they can only endure it.

Liu Feiyan smiled, beaming in his heart. Since Su Wanwan was killed halfway, she hadn't felt the jealous eyes of women for a long time.

The jealousy of others is a proof of her superiority.

This morning's reward, Meng Qingyu only got a light gauze skirt, and she had no face to compare with her Liu Feiyan. Zhu Luoxia remained silent, presumably she didn't get anything good. The most ridiculous thing is that Su Wanwan only ended up with a comb.

It's really relieving.

Liu Feiyan was very comfortable, and said with disgust on the surface, "Cui'er, don't show off this kind of thing, save people from being sad." ”

With that, Yu Guang swept towards Su Zhi's side. Seeing Su Zhi kneeling on the ground and wiping the steps, dressed plainly and looking as lowly as the subordinates of Liufu, Liu Feiyan sneered disdainfully.

At first, Liu Feiyan was worried about what kind of treasure this comb was. She was raised in the palm of her hand, and the dressing tools she used since she was a child were either gold, silver or jade, and the wooden comb was really not used, so she felt strange.

Later, I heard from the palace people that the wooden comb was used by ordinary people, and the peach comb was the cheapest among them, and she suddenly smiled.

It seems that His Royal Highness favored Su Wanwan, just on a whim. I'm afraid that the pearl pill is gone, right?

Liu Feiyan stroked the strings, and the song "Bright Moon Quicksand" flowed out from her fingers like her cheerful mood.

In the Fengwan Pavilion over there, Zhu Luoxia sat in the shade of a tree drinking tea, but her mood was not as relaxed as Liu Feiyan.

"The rewards of the Spring Festival, the palace people are all distributed by you, why can Su Wanwan receive a copy alone? It's also weird. Shuangmei looked at her preoccupied master and expressed her doubts.

Before dawn this morning, Father-in-law Wei hurriedly ran over to hand the peach wood comb to Shuangmei, and repeatedly told Her Highness that it was given to Su Wanwan, so that she must not be mistaken.

Father-in-law Wei is the personal eunuch of the prince, and his temper is also to learn from the prince, and he never says the second time when he explains things to the palace people, and if he does something wrong, he will be punished directly.

But this comb, he solemnly explained it three times.

Zhu Luoxia was silent, looking at the birds chasing each other on the maple tree.

"It's the first time I've seen Your Highness worry about it." She slowly put down the cup and looked at Liu Feiyan who was carried away in the distance, "Let's wait and see." Let someone else do it. ”

……

At night, the moon rises tomorrow.

The white terrace is brightly lit and lively.

The surrounding flowers are full of flowers, and the palace people are interspersed with them, laughing from time to time. Several concubines are even more fancy, and their manners are all over the place.

Zhu Luoxia sat on the first seat on the right side of Helian Mingrui, wearing a gold silk embroidered skirt, dignified and gorgeous, and a pair of master and mother.

Liu Feiyan stroked the piano in the middle, the aqua blue dress was enchanting and elegant, full of fairy spirit. Her piano skills are among the best in the entire Shangjing. The women pretended to be intoxicated on the surface, and their eyes showed a little jealousy from time to time, expecting her to make a fool of herself.

Helian Mingrui's eyes converged in the darkness in the distance, absent-minded. Zhu Luoxia saw it in her eyes and poured him tea quietly.

At the end of the song, Liu Feiyan smiled, got up and saluted, and waited for a long time but did not hear His Highness's appreciation.

She was slightly surprised, and looked up to see His Highness looking out of the court somewhere, as if he hadn't heard her play the piano at all. Everyone wanted to praise Liu Feiyan's piano skills, but His Highness didn't speak, and they didn't dare to speak.

After a long time, Zhu Luoxia broke the silence, praised Liu Feiyan casually, asked her to go back and sit down, and asked the next performer. How could Liu Feiyan want to go back so disgraced? She waited for Helian Mingrui to praise her.

She glared at the gloating Zhu Luoxia, her eyes fell on Helian Mingrui with tenderness, and she called out softly, "What else does Your Highness want to hear, the concubine will play it for you." ”

Helian Mingrui didn't speak, as if Liu Feiyan didn't exist.

This scene embarrassed Liu Feiyan, and she called "Your Highness" softly, and her voice was so tender that it was almost out of the water.

But Helian Mingrui still didn't answer.

After a long time, his eyes flashed slightly, and the corners of his lips hooked a smile.

The crowd was strange. A few of them reacted quickly and looked at him in the line of sight:

I saw a figure in the distance, it was Su Wanwan!

She strode towards the white terrace, and Grandpa Wei trotted behind her, as if she was the master.

Liu Feiyan's face turned black in an instant.

The women next to her all looked surprised.

In the afternoon on the white terrace, everyone was gluing lanterns, and they saw with their own eyes that Cui'er "missed" and poured the paste on Su Wanwan's bun. Needless to say, it was Liu Feiyan who instructed it.

This kind of paste is very sticky, and during the Chinese New Year this year, Liu Feiyan's fox fur shawl was stained with a few points, and the fox fur could no longer be combed, so he could only throw it away. For this matter, Liu Feiyan shaved all the hair and eyebrows of the palace maid who stuck the lantern in front of everyone. The palace maid couldn't stand the humiliation and committed suicide by jumping into a well.

How can parents who have suffered from the hair and skin of their bodies be destroyed at will?

Su Wanwan was tricked this afternoon, and it stands to reason that she should cry and make a fuss in the house, even if she is extremely strong, she has to wash the whole night to wash the paste off.

But now, she actually appeared alive......

At this time, Su Zhi had already greeted Liu Feiyan dozens of times in her heart.

During the day, she wiped the steps and hung lanterns, and was so busy that she was sweating. Zhu Luoxia didn't want her to be idle at all.

Liu Feiyan's subordinate Cui'er deliberately made her a mess, so she had to rush back to wash it. Fortunately, the sisters of Hongchun Lou taught her a hand, and after pouring lard and tea for a long time, she finally washed it.

didn't have time to wipe it, so Father-in-law Wei rushed over and asked her to hurry to the white terrace.

She walked as she combed her hair, her hair dripping down and her clothes wet from her shoulders.

Under the surprised and gloating gazes of everyone, Su Zhi walked into the white terrace. She was thinking about how to make Liu Feiyan have a long memory, but she heard Helian Mingrui call, "Come here." ”

She walked over as she was told, but before she could salute, someone pulled her into her arms.

"Washed your hair?" He sniffed above her head. Her peculiar light fragrance permeated his nose.

I don't know when he started to like the smell a little.

Seeing that she was wet, he simply took off his shawl, put it on her head and wiped it gently.

Su Zhi stiffened.

It's not the first time that someone has suddenly added a play, but this sudden gentleness still caught her off guard.

Everyone was even more dumbfounded.

His Royal Highness usually washes his hair and doesn't like to wipe it himself, how can he ever wipe the hair of others?

This scene gave them a hundred dares to imagine!

Only Father-in-law Wei is calm, these two people have been desperately showing affection these days, and he has become accustomed to it.

Liu Feiyan's face was even darker, how could His Highness treat her like this? The most intimate one was just to help her pick up the handkerchief that had fallen on the ground.

How could this little slut let His Highness deign to help her wipe her hair?

There was silence all around, and the women watched the scene quietly, their hearts burning with anger. Who said that Su Wanwan fell out of favor? Is this called a fall from grace?

No one dared to speak. Everyone looked at Zhu Luoxia, expecting her to say something. Zhu Luoxia is a tolerant person, although her lungs are about to explode, she is still a gentle and virtuous lady, and she instructed her female official Shuangmei to get a few pieces of dry cotton cloth.

Shuangmei brought the cotton cloth over, and Zhu Luoxia handed it over with her own hands.

Helian Mingrui took it, looked up and saw that everyone was looking at them dryly, and raised his eyebrows, "What are you doing in a daze?" Go on. ”

He folded the cotton cloth three times and put it under Su Zhi's wet clothes.

The number of pleats is too small to keep out the dampness. It's too much and too thick, and it's uncomfortable to stuff in.

Father-in-law Wei saw all these actions. He knew that His Highness's heart was as careful as a hair, and when a courtier made a small move, he could see what that person was thinking.

But this carefulness has never been used on women.

Su Wanwan is the first one.

Helian Mingrui's words made all the women look at each other. Go on?

His Royal Highness and Su Wanwan were tender and sweet, if they played the piano and chanted poetry next to them, wouldn't they be embarrassed and embarrassed?

But His Highness spoke, and he couldn't help but obey.

Zhu Luoxia couldn't help it, she looked at Liu Feiyan, "Sister Liu, your piano skills are very good, let's listen to it happily, why don't you do another song?" ”

Hearing Zhu Luoxia's statement, everyone echoed the amnesty. Liu Feiyan caused the trouble herself, and it was natural for her to carry it.

Seeing that everyone was unanimous, Liu Feiyan knew that this song had to be played, so he had to sit down in a reluctant voice, and plucked a few notes from the strings.

She was supposed to be in the limelight tonight. But Su Wanwan, this little slut, slapped her in the face again! She is playing the piano here, not like the protagonist of the festival, but like a maid, making fun of Su Wanwan's accompaniment.

How could she swallow this breath!

I played a few wrong notes one after another, only to hear Su Wanwan snort softly. Liu Feiyan hurriedly looked up.

saw His Royal Highness pick up Su Wanwan's peach wood comb and comb her hair. While combing, the two looked at each other, with affection and veins, and their eyes flowed.

Liu Feiyan's fingertips trembled, and he actually tore off the string!

Everyone looked at Liu Feiyan when they heard the voice, and the white terrace suddenly became quiet.

But the two of them were still indifferent, as if they were shielding everyone and everything around them, just looking at each other.

In fact, Su Zhi knew about the movements of the white terrace, but she didn't dare to look away. Someone stared at her, like that, it was clear that if she dared to look elsewhere, he would kill her.

He smiled and asked her softly, "Do you like this palace to comb your hair?" ”

As he spoke, he combed it vigorously.

There were a few places in her hair that were still glued together, and her scalp was about to be pulled off when she pulled it like this. She gasped and glared at him.

If you start lightly, you will die?

Met his dangerous cold eyes, she immediately had an answer: she would really die.

She had to smile against her will, "I like it." ”

He hooked his lips and combed them down again. She bared her teeth but didn't dare to scream, so she could only wink at him desperately.

"I'll help you comb it every day in the future." He turned a blind eye, smiled softer and harder.

It hurt so much that Su Zhi's smile was distorted.

Deliberately, this guy is absolutely deliberate! She scolded him ten thousand times in her heart, but she could only show a well-behaved smile and say, "The slave is flattered." ”

The two of them were secretly fighting each other here, and everyone over there was silent.

When they saw Su Wanwan receive the comb in the morning, they gloated.

Now that pleasure is gone.

What guqin, light yarn, and night pearl are all floating clouds.

No matter how valuable a gift is, what can compare to His Highness combing his hair with his own hands?

Your Highness's heart is all in this comb.
