Chapter Forty-Six: The Moon and the Stars
Li Mengbai moved around his seat nervously, and covered his mouth with a fist: "Ahem, it's okay, I accidentally let the fish bone get stuck just now." ”
Yuejian looked at the fish in front of Shen Lingjun, Li Mengbai wanted to clamp the fish unless he stood up, otherwise he couldn't reach it at all.
What's more, from sitting down to the present, let alone Shen Lingjun poked a chopstick, no one else touched it, and Li Mengbai didn't get up at all.
"Fish bones? Stuck? ”
"Uh-huh." Li Mengbai calmed down a little: "Be careful when you eat." ”
"Oh......"
Next to him, he puffed out his face during the play and ate with his mouth full: "No, it's spicy and rainy, what a time." ”
Let's look at L.A. together: "What to say?" ”
Luo Cheng calmly translated: "No, it's a sea fish, no thorns." ”
Tsukimi pointed to the plate of fish with chopsticks: "He said there were no bones." ”
Li Mengbai: "Uh......"
The bowl of medicine in front of Shen Lingjun was still shaking, she insisted, and Su Musha insisted more than her.
In the end, Shen Lingjun was defeated: "At least add some sugar." ”
Ye Qingzhi said in a light voice: "Adding sugar affects the efficacy of the medicine. ”
Su Musha asked Qinghe to find some candied fruit, and his tone was gentle with his unknowing: "Come and take medicine, and I'll show you a good look at night." ”
Shen Lingjun's eyes lit up: "What? ”
Su Musha raised his chin against the medicine bowl, which meant - take the medicine and then talk about it.
Shen Lingjun's heart was horizontal, his eyes were closed, he pinched his nose and poured it directly, his tongue had not yet touched the smell of medicine, and it had already gone down his throat.
Put down the medicine bowl, the candied fruit is just stuffed into the mouth, sweet and sour, and I have long forgotten the taste of medicine.
Shen Lingjun plucked the candied fruit with his tongue, and suddenly felt that it was not too difficult to drink medicine.
Zhao Qi said coldly: "Lord Shen, you two also take care of other people's feelings, ah!" ”
Shen Lingjun's face was covered with sweat, Zhao Qi was really ......
Ye Qingzhi kicked Zhao Qi with her toes, and the latter smiled scoundrelly, but instead wrapped up it.
At dusk, Tang Tang took Shen Changfeng and Feng Zheng back to the Yue Palace.
As soon as he arrived at the palace, Tang Tang beckoned the housekeeper over, with a commanding look: "Prepare two guest rooms for my friend, they should be close to my courtyard, you know?" ”
Li Zhong, the housekeeper of the palace, is naturally no more capable and shrewd than others, he swept Shen Changfeng and Feng Zheng without a trace, his eyes flashed with surprise, and his attitude was respectful but neither humble nor arrogant: "County Lord, I don't know what these two sons call and where are they?" ”
Tang Tang raised his chin and snorted from his nose: "What's the matter, the county lord wants you to be a dog slave to make friends?" ”
The housekeeper Li Zhong bowed his head: "The slave doesn't dare." ”
Jelly Bean stepped forward and said, "Steward Li, these two are the county lord's distinguished guests, and you can't be lazy at all, you don't go down and ask people to prepare, otherwise the county lord will be angry later." ”
"The slave knows." Li Zhong lowered his head, stopped talking, and retreated.
Tang Tang stuck out his tongue at his back and pulled Shen Changfeng: "I'll take you around, but there's nothing to visit, just a little place." ”
Feng Zheng stopped talking for a long time, and finally when there was no one, he asked, "Tang Tang, why are you so fierce to that housekeeper?" ”
Tang Tang crossed his waist with one hand and said: "Don't look at them one by one, they seem to be very obedient on the surface to be respectful to you, but they are bad behind their backs." ”
As if to prove the credibility of Tang Tang's words, Jelly Bean nodded vigorously: "Mmmmmmmm "She's been punished by the housekeeper before.
Shen Changfeng patted Tang Tang's head: "Don't offend people easily." ”
Tang Tang's eyebrows fluttered, and his face was full of anger: "I'm not afraid, whoever dares to shadow me behind my back, I won't let him eat good fruits." ”
Jelly Beans obviously have a deep understanding of this.
She still remembered that when the little county lord came back suddenly, many maids and servants were actually very inappropriate, after all, they were originally born by a concubine, and the concubine didn't know what she had done to provoke the gentle-tempered prince, and no one was allowed to mention the name of the concubine in front of him.
However, I don't know what tricks the newly emerged county lord used, and the minions who had been making things difficult for her suddenly rolled on the ground in pain, pinching their throats and tearing desperately. Jelly Beans really looked at it, they scratched several layers of skin, and they almost saw the bones!
From then on, everyone no longer dared to embarrass Tang Tang, and they were afraid and obedient when they saw her.
Among so many people, the reason why Jelly Bean was chosen as Tang Tang's maid was a sentence that Tang Tang said at that time.
At that moment, the housekeeper asked Tang Tang if he chose one of the following maids to serve personally, Tang Tang swept around like this and asked, "Who is the least popular among them?" ”
In the end, the jelly beans were chosen.
Her mother had leprosy before, but when she died, she was sold to the palace as a maid. Everyone called her a leper daughter and looked down on her, so she could only do the lowest work in the palace.
Tang Tang left her alone, and she was able to see the true face of this little county lord up close. The baby fat girl is still young, her dark eyes are flowing, very beautiful, and the corners of her mouth are full of smiles, but this smile seems to only float on the surface.
Jelly Bean's first feeling at that time was that the little county lord and the big county lord were not at all alike, and they didn't even look like the prince, so it must be something like that lady, but unfortunately she hadn't seen it.
When Jelly Bean was stunned, Tang Tang tapped her forehead with the flute in his hand and said with a smile: "I don't like your current name, why don't I give you one?" ”
At that time, she was still called Xiaolan, and she gave it to her after entering the palace.
Jelly Bean felt that the name was for people to shout, and it didn't matter what it was called, so he nodded stunned.
"My name is Tang Tang, so you can call it Jelly Bean." Tang Tang said so at the time.
Jelly Bean still wondered for a long time, isn't the county lord called Li Chenxing? However, later the county lord told her in private that she didn't like the name Li Chenxing at all.
When she said this, Jelly Bean saw a hint of gloom flash on the county lord's face, and it flashed before she could see it clearly, and she even thought it was an illusion.
Later, Tang Tang let Jelly Bean follow her every day, she likes this county lord and likes this kind of life.
When they came back to their senses, Tang Tang and the others had already come to the backyard of the palace.
In the end, the palace housekeeper is doing things neatly, and the guest rooms have already been cleaned up, just waiting for the guests to check in.
Another maidservant came over and gave a blessing: "County Lord, the prince will not go to the lobby to eat today, I wonder if you and the two guests will go to the lobby to eat, or will you send the food to the Rose Garden as before?" ”
Tang Tang said without hesitation: "Send it over." ”
"Yes." The maidservant was obviously not surprised by this answer, and withdrew after another blessing.
Tang Tang pouted: "I don't want to sit and eat with people I hate." ”
Without waiting for Feng Zheng and Shen Changfeng to ask who the annoying person was, Tang Tang drove them to the guest room first to put down the salute, and then came over to her side for dinner later.
waited for the two of them to return to the Rose Garden, but saw a tall woman standing opposite Tang Tang, who happened to have her back to Shen Changfeng and them.
Looking at the woman's back, a set of gilded purple clothes was worn on her body, matching her already slender figure, which was a little slim. And on the meticulously combed bun, there is a valuable gold silk eight-treasure beaded hairpin, as well as a shell-like earlobe dotted with lustrous gemstones, which shows that this woman's identity is not ordinary.
Looking at it from Shen Changfeng's point of view, Tang Tang's expression was very impatient, even disgusted.
Feng Zheng raised his head, looked at Shen Changfeng, and raised his eyebrows, which means - enter or enter?
Shen Changfeng felt that it was not good to disturb the two of them talking, so it was better for the two of them to avoid it first, so he pulled Feng Zheng and prepared to leave.
At this moment, the woman with her back to her spoke: "Chenxing, since you have returned, you will stay in the mansion in the future, it has not been easy for you to be outside for the past fifteen years, and my father and I will compensate you well." ”
The woman's voice was murmuring, like a stream of water, gently tapping on the tip of people's hearts, very comfortable, and listening to the tone of the voice, it was extremely emotional, and she was a little choked up at the end.
Tang Tang hugged his arms disdainfully and sneered: "Li Mingyue, have you ever sung an opera, and even moved yourself when you said these words, right?" ”
Shen Changfeng and Feng Zheng were both stunned, although they had some guesses in their hearts just now, they were still surprised when they were sure that this woman was Li Mingyue.
Especially Feng Zheng, he refused to leave, and he must see Li Mingyue's true face of Lushan.
Listen to Li Mingyue again: "Chenxing, I know that you have some misunderstandings in your heart, and you also think that it was my mother who harmed Yi Niangniang, so you ...... However, please believe me, my mother is kind by nature and will never do this, and after Yi Niangniang passed away, she ate fasting and chanting Buddha in the house every day, praying that Yi Niangniang's spirit in the sky would be peaceful and ascend to bliss early. ”
Tang Tang simply leaned back on the stone table in the courtyard, looked out at the sky in the distance, and ignored it.
Li Mingyue was much taller than Tang Tang because of her height, so she lowered her head slightly: "I hope you don't have any grudges, in this palace, except for my father, you are my dearest person." ”
"The dearest person ......" Tang Tang raised one eye with a disdainful expression: "I can't stand it." ”
Li Mingyue didn't seem to care about Tang Tang's attitude, and said with some bitterness: "You have been back for a short time, you may not be used to life in the house, and besides, the next day is getting cold, I will ask you to cut some winter clothes, and I will measure the size for you tomorrow." ”
Tang Tang's upper eyelids were raised, and his tone was neither yin nor yang: "No, I can't live for so long." ”
Li Mingyue was obviously stunned, and her body stiffened: "Chenxing, what do you mean by this?" Are you still going to leave me and my father? ”
Tang Tang tugged at the corners of his mouth, smirked twice, and said, "You can think whatever you like." ”
"Alas...... No matter how much you misunderstand me, I hope you can live in peace when you come back this time, my father has aged a lot in the past two years, and there are only two of us sisters under my knees......"
Tang Tang made a gesture of stopping and stepped aside: "Li Mingyue, if you have anything to do with me, just say it, don't talk nonsense." ”
Li Mingyue turned to the side, seeming to be a little unhappy: "Chenxing, you don't have me in your eyes, you should at least respect your father." ”
This time, Shen Changfeng and Feng Zheng finally looked at her side face - a pointed face, slender willow eyebrows, quite beautiful.
Tang Tang turned the flute in his hand, suddenly turned around, and swept straight away from Li Mingyue, who was so frightened that he took two steps back, but Tang Tang drew a circle in front of her face and took it back.
With a smile on his face, he smiled very sweetly, and said, "Why, do you think I'm the same as last time, trying to harm you?" ”
Li Mingyue held her chest, her face full of shock: "Could it be that the person who pushed me into the river last time was really you?" ”
Tang Tang looked cynical: "Guess what? ”
