CH.78 Dressing up
Chu Jiu sat there quietly, not daring to speak, just reaching out to pick up the table and eating.
Li Ling watched Chu Jiu's cheeks move, like a little rabbit chewing food, and he suddenly spoke: "We'll go out later." ”
"Huh?" Chu Jiu said with a smile, "Where to go?" ”
Li Ling's fingers tapped on the table and smiled, "You will find out when you go with this king." ”
"But I'm still looking for my friend, why don't you let me go back to the other courtyard first......"
Li Ling's smile froze on his face for a moment, he looked at Chu Jiu, and his tone was undoubted, "Don't think about these things anymore, just stay by my side obediently." ”
He clapped his palms, and the people outside the door pushed open the door, and the steward came in respectfully with several maidservants, all of whom were holding the gifts prepared by Li Ling. Clothes, ornaments, jewelry, these are all from the hands of famous artists, all of them are carefully crafted.
"Hurry up and dress up for Miss Zhao......"
After Li Ling finished speaking, he got up.
"King Ling, this ......" Chu Jiu wanted to stop him, but Li Ling glanced at her, said "be nice" and went out.
The steward followed Li Ling out, and before leaving, he didn't forget to tell the maids in the house, "Hurry up and dress up for Miss Zhao, and the girl will go out with our prince later!" ”
The maidservants got up and gathered around Chu Jiu, and they stretched out their hands to serve her to change her clothes.
"Don't, I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself!" The ninth day of the first month avoided the hands and feet of these handmaidens.
Qing'er said nervously on the side: "Girl, you better change it quickly, otherwise it will make the prince angry, and we will have no good fruit to eat!" ”
Chu Jiu glanced around at the maids and tightened his clothes, "It's good for you to change my clothes myself, I'm not used to letting others change my clothes for me......"
Qing'er immediately handed over the clothes to Chu Jiu, "Girl, this is the dress you want to change, you can change it yourself after the curtain, if you need help, you can call us in." ”
"Okay, thank you Qing'er ......"
"Girl, that's what a slave should do."
Chu Jiu walked behind the curtain, and the maidservants closed the curtain for her.
After a while, Chu Jiu opened the curtain, "It's okay." ”
The maidservants surrounded Chu Jiu and praised: "The girl is so beautifully dressed!" ”
Chu Jiu reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, they were really good at complimenting.
Qing'er pressed Chu Jiu to sit down in front of the mirror, and several other maids came over with boxes of makeup powder to dress up Chu Jiu.
"And with a hairpin." Qing'er pointed to the jasper hairpin and asked the maidservant next to her to put it on for Chu Jiu.
Another maid ruffled the hair around Chu Jiu's ears, looking at her smooth earlobes and feeling a little pity, "Girl, you don't have pierced ears, the slave maid originally wanted to put on these pair of earrings for you......" The maid only put away the jade earrings on her hand.
"Girl, if you don't have time later, let's help you get your ears pierced, this girl will be much more beautiful with earrings." Qing'er said.
Chu Jiu covered his earlobe, "No need, I don't want to get my ears pierced." "Actually, she was afraid of pain.
Qing'er saw Chu Jiu so resistant, she could only give up temporarily, she was not worried, because as long as the girl's family wanted to be beautiful, it was just a matter of time or time, she believed that after helping Miss Zhao dress up today, Miss Zhao would fall in love with dressing up.
Subsequently, the maids finally dressed up for Chu Jiu, Chu Jiuyi changed her original monotonous dress, and now she is wearing a pink dress, pinning a bun again, and applying a little rouge, and the whole person feels a new look.
Qing'er straightened Chu Jiu's body and asked her to look at herself in the mirror, "Miss Zhao, isn't it much better-looking?" ”
Chu Jiu looked at her in the mirror, and was stunned for a moment, she felt that the person in the mirror was a completely different person from the original her......
"This man...... Is it me? She touched the mirror with her hand in disbelief, and then reached out to touch her own bun.
"Don't, girl, don't mess with it." Qing'er stopped Chu Jiu's movements, for fear that she would mess up her hair.
"Girl, this woman needs to be dressed up to be pretty......"
"We're also dressed up, and we're only seeing people now!"
The other handmaidens felt the same way.
Chu Jiu looked at the lovely maids beside him, and then looked at the mirror, "All the women in this world have learned to dress up, aren't there many fairies?" ”
Qing'er and the maidservants couldn't help but laugh when they heard Chu Jiu's words, "That's what the girl said! ”
They opened the door and saw only two guards standing in the doorway.
Qing'er asked one of the guards, "What about the prince?" ”
"The prince has already gotten into the carriage, and he is waiting for Miss Zhao at the front door."
Qing'er turned around and pulled Chu Jiu, "Girl, hurry up." "I can't let the prince wait.
"Eh, slow down, Qing'er, go slower." Chu Jiu carried the hem of her skirt, although this skirt was very elegant, but it was a little longer than the skirt she used to wear, no wonder those ladies walked so slowly.
On the other side, Mrs. Xue learned that the prince had prepared a carriage and wanted to leave the palace with the yellow-haired girl, and she didn't know where to go.
She was furious, this was the first time that the prince had taken his female dependents out, and at the same time, she was also amazed at the vitality of this yellow-haired girl, who actually recovered her strength so quickly and went out with the prince.
Mrs. Xue immediately went out, and Lian'er on the side asked, "Madam, where are you going?" ”
"Nonsense, of course it's looking for the prince!"
Mrs. Xue went out to the courtyard and was greeted by Mrs. Ruoyan.
Mrs. Ruoyan looked at her hurried appearance and asked curiously, "Why did you go in such a hurry?" ”
"Can you not be in a hurry? The prince is actually going to take that yellow-haired girl out. ”
"Sheng Xue, I'll advise you, don't meddle in things, this is the prince's own decision, let's not interfere, otherwise we can only annoy the prince."
Mrs. Ruoyan wanted to remind this Snow Lady, but how could she listen to it?
"No, how can you let that stinky girl snatch the prince?" Madame Snow said without indignation.
"That's up to you, sister, I've already reminded you......"
Mrs. Xue ignored Mrs. Ruoyan and rushed directly to the front door by herself.
At this time, Qing'er had already brought Chu Jiu to the front door, she opened the curtain of the carriage, and let Chu Jiu step on a small stool to get into the carriage.
When the ninth day of the first month entered the carriage, some measures were uneasy.
Li Ling looked up at Chu Jiu, looking at her who had been dressed up and looked new, and a little surprise flashed in his eyes, "Chu Jiu, you have to dress up more, it's a waste to dress up a girl of your age not well!" ”
Chu Jiu lowered her head, avoiding his gaze, his hot eyes made her face hot, and she coughed lightly, "Where are we going?" ”
"Don't worry, we'll be there soon."
Li Ling lifted the curtains and ordered the guards standing outside to set off. His eyes swept to Madame Snow, who was about to arrive at the door, but he was indifferent. This Lady Snow is the person his brother arranged for him to be by his side, and he will take care of her when he comes back this time.
As soon as he lowered the curtains, the carriage departed.
Madame Snow went out to the door and shouted "Lord Wang", but the carriage did not stop because of this.
"Madam, don't scream......" Lian'er watched as people passing by on the street stared at Madame Xue, trying to stop her from making a fuss.
Mrs. Xue shook off Lian'er, "The prince is gone, now the two of them go out, and everything can be done!" ”
"Madam, forget it......" Lian'er felt that it was his business who the prince liked, and it was not their turn to interfere.
Mrs. Xue was already angry, but she was even more angry by Lian'er's frustrated words, "Let's go, don't go back." "I'll teach Lian'er a good lesson when she goes back.
****** ******
Twilight thought that when she returned to the courtyard, she would see that Chu Jiu had returned, but the courtyard was still empty.
Yin Duanhong was a little surprised when she heard the report of her subordinates.
"Master."
"What?"
"The subordinates reported that the Right Protector once appeared in Shuwang City."
"What is she doing here?"
"This needs to be checked."
"Don't worry about her for now, the most important thing now is to find Chu Jiu, and I don't know if her stupid appearance can survive outside." Chao Duxue did not forget to sarcastically mock the ninth day at this time.
Yin Duanhong looked at the sect leader's depressed look, "Sect leader, it's better to find Chu Jiu this time and take her back to the Netherworld Sect, no matter how she says it, she is also the daughter of the former sect leader, and she can be regarded as our person." There is also the birth sacrifice of the former sect leader next month, and before that, it is also appropriate to find the ninth day of the first month and let her go back to worship her biological father. ”
Twilight's eyes moved, and her tone was light, "It's Master's life sacrifice so soon?" ”
Yin Duanhong lowered his head and remained silent.
"How is Shi Niang's tomb?"
"Muslim master, it's already messed up."
"Master should be very happy this year, Master is finally back......
"But...... We destroyed the grave dug for her mother in the ninth day, and carried her mother's body back to the Netherworld Sect to be buried with the former sect leader without permission......"
"This thing...... The head of this sect will personally explain it to the ninth day of the first month......"
"Yes......" Yin Duanhong glanced at her own sect leader, hesitating to tell what she had discovered.
"What else do you have to say?" Chao Duxue looked at Yin Xuanhong's expression of wanting to speak and stopping.
Yin Duanhong said bluntly, "Muslim leader, when my subordinates carried the body of the former sect leader's wife, I found that she seemed to be a little strange......"
"Strange?"
"Yes, although her body is decomposed, her subordinates can vaguely tell from her body that she was poisoned to death."
"Poisoned? Didn't she die of illness? Twilight asked in surprise.
Yin Duanhong shook his head, "No, because the body has been corrupted, it can only be seen that it was poisoned to death, but it is a bit difficult to verify what kind of poison it is." ”
Chao Duxue was silent, Chu Jiu obviously told him that Zhao Lin died of illness, but now she was poisoned and died, why did she hide it? Later, he thought that maybe they had just met at that time, and Chu Jiu didn't want to reveal too much, so he must ask about it when he finds Chu Jiu this time.
"Hurry up and find the ninth day of junior high school! Send more people to look for her, she shouldn't be far from here, and check out who can use official money to confuse our sight in Shuwang City and nearby places......"
