Chapter 245: The prince connived
Stygian Moon Country, Qingwang Mansion, East Wing Courtyard.
Shui Ningyan stood in front of the window, looking at the full moon in the sky, and lost his mind. At this moment, her mood is complicated and indescribable. In a few hours, she will have to marry Situ Huoqing.
It's been three days, but no one seems to know that she is under house arrest in the Qingwang Mansion. Duan Fusu, Huang Fuyu, and Ye Qingyi don't know, but what about Situ Shaogong, hasn't he always been very powerful? Besides, here in his territory, presumably Duan Fusu and the others have already brought the news of her disappearance to Situ Shaogong, but why hasn't this guy moved at all for so long? After thinking about it, Shui Ningyan suddenly sulked.
At this moment, Shui Ningyan heard the sound of shallow footsteps behind him. She didn't have to look back, she knew it must be Liangui. Since that day when she learned that she was plotted by Liangui, Shui Ningyan has never said a word to this girl.
Although she can understand Liangui's motives, after all, Liangui's master is Situ Huoqing, what Situ Huoqing asked Liangui to do, Liangui can only obediently obey. But that doesn't mean she has to tolerate this girl. She's not a virgin.
"Miss Shui, the night is cold, you better rest early."
For a long time, there was still silence in the room. Lian Gui's eyes dimmed, she bit her lip, and after a while, she let out a sigh, and stopped talking: "Miss Shui, the slave knows what you are waiting for?" But I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. ”
As soon as these words came out, Shui Ningyan turned around abruptly, and said in a cold voice: "Liangui, what do you know?" "Intuition tells Shui Ningyan that this girl must know the situation outside.
Lian Gui was taken aback by Shui Ningyan's sudden movements, she stabilized her mind, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and finally seemed to have made up some kind of determination, and nodded: "Miss Shui, the slave does know something. ”
"What do you know?"
"I heard that in the past few days, the prince has ordered a search of the whole city, going from house to house, trying to find you, but because the search leaders below are afraid of our prince, only this palace has not been searched."
When Shui Ningyan heard the news, he was so angry that his teeth chattered. If the leader in charge of the search had been in front of her, she would have rewarded that guy with two iron fists by now.
For a while, she put all the accounts on Situ Shaogong's head. What the hell is going on with that guy, who are all his subordinates, and doing things so unfavorably that she can't see her innocence.
Looking at Shui Ningyan's eyes full of unwillingness, Lian Gui sighed and said, "Miss Shui, you should accept your fate." In fact, our prince is very good to Miss Shui. If you marry our prince, the prince will definitely treat you well. ”
"Shut up!" When Shui Ningyan heard that Lian Gui was helping Situ Huoqing as a lobbyist, he suddenly became angry.
Lian Gui was so frightened by the condensation smoke that her body trembled suddenly, and she didn't dare to say a word the next moment. His eyes suddenly shone with grievance. She really feels that the prince is very good to Miss Shui. Although the prince is good to the princess, as long as he is not a fool, he can see that the prince is just relying on the princess's family power, and his kindness to the princess is not sincere.
"Go down, I'm tired." The water condensed smoke and then said coldly.
"Miss Shui, rest early. Tomorrow morning, the slave will wake you up. Lian Gui's words fell, and he retreated in a sneer.
Shui Ningyan's gaze fell in the direction of the palace garden, reflecting the candlelight, and I saw a treacherous and unpredictable arc at the corner of her lips. She never believed in her life, her life was in her own hands. Didn't Situ Huoqing want to marry her tomorrow? Okay, then she'll prepare a big gift for him then.
Just after the fifth watch, there was a knock on the door outside, accompanied by Liangui's call: "Miss Shui, every day of the fifth watch, you just got up and dressed up." ”
The sweet sleep was disturbed by the sweet water condensation, and suddenly said: "Miss Ben hasn't slept enough, if you shout and scream outside again, Miss Ben will cut your tongue!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Lian Gui, who was standing outside, was suddenly frightened, and didn't even dare to knock on the door again. But don't all brides have to get up on the fifth watch day to make up? For a while, Liangui didn't leave or stay, I really didn't know what to do.
Suddenly hearing the sound of extremely shallow footsteps behind him, Lian Gui was so frightened that she quickly turned around, and almost exclaimed in surprise when she saw the person in front of her.
"Lord Wang, is that you?"
"Shhhhhhhhh Situ Huoqing said in a deep voice.
"Oh." Lian Gui nodded obediently.
"Lord Wang, Miss Shui, she ......"
Without waiting for Lian Gui to finish speaking, Situ Huoqing interrupted: "Come and tell her to get up when the hour comes." At the same time, Situ Huoqing sighed in his heart: he had long expected that this woman would not cooperate.
When Lian Gui came to tell Shui Ningyan to get up, Situ Huoqing had already come, but it was hidden in the dark corner, so Lian Gui didn't know at all.
"Yes, lord, the slave knows." Liangui nodded, glanced at the closed door and left.
Situ Huoqing couldn't help laughing, he never knew that he could be so patient with a woman one day. At this time, he couldn't tell whether he was because this woman could help him eradicate Situ Shaogong, or if he had unconsciously developed a special feeling for this woman, so he changed so much that he almost didn't know himself because of this woman.
Immediately, she kept telling herself in her heart: No, he Situ Huoqing is chasing power, he was destined to seize imperial power from birth, and women are just accessories to him.
In the room, I heard the footsteps outside fading away, and the water condensation smoke in the nest turned over and continued to fall asleep. As the saying goes, the ship is naturally straight ahead, but for now, she still needs to recuperate first, and then everything can be improvised.
At the end of the day, Liangui appeared at the door of the room on time. After struggling in place for a while, she finally decided that even if she was scolded by Miss Shui this time, she must call Miss Shui to get up. After all, getting married is a major event in life, and missing the auspicious time is not good for anyone.
"Miss Shui, get up." Liangui gritted her teeth and knocked on the door.
"Come in." The voice was not angry, it didn't sound like it was angry, and Lian Gui suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
The door squeaked open, and Lian Gui saw Shui Ningyan sitting on the bed in her middle coat, and the look on her face was always calm, making it impossible for people to spy on her emotions.
"Miss Shui, the slave maid is waiting for you to freshen up." Lian Gui said boldly.
Shui Ningyan nodded. Liangui helped Shui Ningyan out of bed, and the next thing was to wash her face and clean her teeth. Afterwards, Shui Ningyan sat in front of the dresser, and Lian Gui was full of praise while holding a jade comb to smooth Shui Ningyan's hair: "Miss Shui, your hair is black and shiny, it's so good, the slave will definitely dress you up as the most beautiful bride today." ”
Shui Ningyan raised his eyes to look at the happy Liangui in the mirror, and said in a cold voice: "Just comb your hair in the previous bun." ”
As soon as these words came out, Lian Gui suddenly looked embarrassed, "Miss Shui, I'm afraid this is not good?" ”
"Wow, what a beautiful wedding dress!" Lotus Gui unfolded the table and stacked the wedding dress neatly, dazzling red, embroidered with a golden phoenix with wings spread on it, the cuffs were embroidered with gold thread to enclose the edge of the entire wedding dress, and the skirt was embroidered with blooming golden peonies, which showed the dignity of the royal family at a glance.
"Miss Shui, the slave will help you put it on."
Looking at the dusty water condensation, Lian Gui secretly said in her heart: If Miss Shui wears this wedding dress, she will definitely be the most beautiful bride in the world.
"Wait!" Seeing Lian Gui coming with her wedding dress, Shui Ningyan spoke.
"Miss Shui, what's wrong?"
"Miss Ben didn't say she was going to wear a wedding dress today." The water condensed the smoke and said without shocking.
"What is Miss Water wearing?" Lian Gui suddenly had a headache.
Shui Ningyan's eyes turned slightly, and finally his eyes fell on a white embroidered magnolia skirt on the hanger, and the corners of his lips raised lightly: "That's it." ”
Lian Gui followed Shui Ningyan's gaze, and suddenly the corners of her mouth twitched violently. Why does she think that today is not Miss Shui's marriage, but like a funeral.
"Miss Shui, it's unlucky not to wear a wedding dress, you still ......"
Lian Gui tried to persuade Shui Ningyan, but she didn't want Shui Ningyan to say coldly: "Didn't you hear what Miss Ben said just now?" ”
Suddenly meeting Shui Ningyan's cold eyes, Lian Gui only felt that her whole person seemed to be frozen for a moment, and she was stupidly stunned in place.
She could reluctantly agree to Shui Ningyan's request before, but now she is wearing a white skirt like a mourning dress instead of a wedding dress, if the prince sees it, he can't peel her skin? But Shui Ningyan said so decisively, for a while, Liangui really didn't know what to do.
At this moment, a footstep sounded at the door of the room, and a figure flashed in. Zhihua was slightly stunned when he saw Shui Ningyan's hairstyle, which was no different from his usual hairstyle, and then a look of watching the show flashed in his eyes. The water condenses and smokes only unconsciously.
"Zhihua, why are you here?" Liangui stepped forward and asked.
"Liangui, the prince asked me to come over and send you a message, if Miss Shui has any requests, you can just meet her." When Zhihua said this, he almost gritted his teeth and finished speaking.
If it weren't for this condensation, how could she have been scolded with a cane for thirty, and her ass still hurts badly. Before Shui Ningyan came, she was a celebrity next to the prince, and now the prince is neither hot nor cold to her. What made her even more angry was that the prince was going to marry Shui Ningyan as his princess today. And what's even more annoying is that the prince actually connived at the condensation of water to such an extent.
"Okay, I see, Zhihua, thank you for coming." Lian Gui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was worried that Miss Shui was going to wear the white embroidered magnolia dress, and suddenly felt that this message was simply a send-off.
"Okay, I'll leave when the news arrives."
Zhihua has a hatred for Shui Ningyan, so he hasn't even said hello to Shui Ningyan since he entered the door, and Shui Ningyan naturally won't care about a lowly subordinate.
After sending away Zhihua, Liangui said with a smile: "Miss Shui, I didn't expect the prince to really love you, since you want to wear that dress, the slave will help you change it." ”
In order to be able to comb a beautiful bridal bun, Lian Gui practiced curling her hair many times in private. What bride still wears her hair in a bun when she gets married?
Shui Ningyan sneered: "If you don't think it's okay, you don't need to comb this hair." ”
Lian Gui's eyes suddenly widened. If you don't comb your hair, will you be like you are doing now? At that moment, Lian Gui shrunk her neck, comforting herself in her heart, since the prince is so indulgent to Miss Shui, he shouldn't be worried about this dressing. Comparing the two, Lian Gui finally gave in: "Okay, the slave will give you a weekday hairstyle." ”
After a cup of tea, Lian Gui combed her hair in a bun, and wore an extremely elegant headdress on her head according to the requirements of water condensation. Lian Gui looked at it and shook her head, what bride is still dressed up without powder?
But since it was Shui Ningyan's request, she didn't dare to disobey. After all, the past few days of service have given Liangui a deeper understanding of water condensation. If this woman is ruthless, she will be a hundred times more terrifying than the arrogant and domineering princess.
