Chapter 41: I'm Afraid of Flowers
His gaze licked Xia Wanrou's body like flames, which made Xia Wanrou feel awkward and embarrassed, but she was not provoked. Mu Siyan in the previous life was far more excessive than now.
She said calmly: "Your Highness, please allow the courtiers to return to Princess Lanhuang." ”
Mu Siyan just wanted to provoke Xia Wanrou, in his opinion, his behavior just now was enough to scare the little lady who cried in Ancheng. However, Xia Wanrou was calm to his surprise.
He felt that his punch didn't feel like it hit cotton, but hit the void, devouring all his malice, and then fell lightly in front of Xia Wanrou.
Scheming and virtuous, like water and like mountains, Mu Siyan finally knew where Xia Wanrou's disobedience was, she was too restrained, this kind of tenacity was even stronger than the dead soldiers under him, and it should not appear in a sixteen or seventeen-year-old lady at all.
"Master." Mu Qi suddenly appeared, interrupting the brief condensation between the two.
He whispered to Muss in his voice.
Xia Wanrou keenly sensed the changes in Mu Siyan's breath and determined whether she was still safe.
Mu Siyan's expression gradually became a little solemn, and finally turned into a thoughtful gaze, all falling on Xia Wanrou.
I don't know why in the summer evening.
Then I saw Mu Siyan raise his chin at her, and asked with a smile: "Miss Xia, I don't know what you think of this king's Huang Meilin?" ”
Her face changed slightly, and she immediately understood that she had been under the surveillance of the other party since she entered the Langwang Mansion, or rather, this surveillance had not stopped since she left Qingzhong Mountain.
She felt slightly bitter in her heart, not only complaining that she hadn't thought of this earlier, but also couldn't help but excuse herself, what if she thought about it earlier, Huang Meilin was hell on earth for her, no matter how much psychological preparation she made, the moment she saw it, it was impossible to behave without changing her face.
While her mind was turning, Xia Wanrou gritted her teeth and said an explanation that made everyone present a little confused.
She said to Mu Siyan seriously: "Your Highness, Huang Meilin is a good Huang Meilin, the courtiers have no opinion on it, it is the courtiers' own problems...... The courtiers have been afraid of Huang Meilin since she was a child, so she was nervous and afraid when she saw it. ”
Qingya looked at her young lady speechlessly, opened her mouth, and didn't know how to turn around for her.
Mu Siyan laughed and laughed, and saw that Xia Wanrou was still kneeling on the ground, so he said, "You get up first." ”
Then he took a good time: "Let's talk about it, why are you afraid of the law, this king's Huang Meilin will eat people?" ”
Isn't it a cannibal? I went in once in my previous life, and I lost my life.
Xia Wanrou also felt that her words in a hurry were too nonsense, and she explained stubbornly: "When the courtiers were young, they heard their father tell a lot of stories about flower essences and tree charms...... No, the courtiers are saying that the easier it is to give birth to flower demons, the courtiers are shallow and rude. ”
Mu Siyan didn't doubt Xia Wanrou's statement, because he couldn't figure out the need for Xia Wanrou to tell this lie. He twitched the corners of his mouth, only felt that the world was full of wonders, he had lived for so many years, and he had only heard of those who were afraid of dogs, the dark, the heights, and water...... This is the first time I've heard of someone being afraid of flowers.
"It's not easy for you." For the first time, His Royal Highness King Lang felt sincere sympathy for Xia Wanrou.
The people of Lin'an City love flowers, and the little ladies about the flower festival are even more separated by a month, and the summer evening is afraid of flowers, which is equivalent to losing the vast majority of entertainment activities as a little lady.
Mu Siyan asked again: "You're not afraid of the garden, aren't you?" ”
"Don't be afraid...... After all, there are a lot of people, and they are all ice sculptures. Xia Wanrou glanced at Mu Siyan with a complicated expression, she was not sure whether His Royal Highness King Lang really believed it or was mocking her.
In the Shouping Courtyard, on the pineapple wooden table carved with the seven fairies celebrating her birthday, there is a gossip white porcelain jade vase, and the middle-aged beauty is pulling the yellow plum blossom branches cut on the table, and inserting them one by one. The room was already lit with elegant incense, so that the fragrance of yellow plum blossoms became a little pungent in an instant.
The middle-aged beauty didn't care, her movements were elegant and leisurely.
"Old lady, there are a total of five female guests on the other side of the garden, namely Yao Er from Xuanwei Hou's Mansion, Huang San from Huang Shilang's family, Wen Er, the sister of General Wen Xiao, Mi Liu, the concubine of Mi Shangshu, and the guests invited by the prince, the eldest princess's newly recognized righteous daughter, Xia Da Girl. Among them, the four girls Yao, Huang and Wenmi are used to playing with the princess, and it is nothing, but Miss Xia was called by the prince in your name. Si'er knelt on the ground and reported everything in detail.
The middle-aged beauty is the aunt of King Lang Mu Siyan, the old lady in the palace of King Lang, she is not very old, and she is less than forty years old.
The old lady asked, "Miss Li, Miss Zhao, Miss Wang...... Have they arrived? ”
Si'er looked dazed, these girls didn't have an invitation at all, are they going to come?
Caiqi on the side stepped forward and said, "Back to the old lady, the Li Mansion asked someone to bring news that the eldest girl was sick, and the girls of the Zhao family and the Wang family said that it was inconvenient. ”
After speaking, she was dissatisfied: "These little ladies are too bold, but they can't be blamed, they are all rumored outside......"
"Caiqi, palm mouth!" The old lady suddenly shouted, her face was very ugly, as if she had been hit by something, she looked to the left and said, "Father-in-law, please go back, please report to Your Majesty truthfully about today's matter." ”
Only then did Si'er find that there was a person sitting on the backlit Taishi chair on the left side, who was drinking tea. This person is thin and rickety, looking a little old, when he first built the mansion, Si'er saw him come to congratulate him, and heard Sister Caiqi say that it was the emperor's red man Ning Gonggong.
She saw Father-in-law Ning get up to say goodbye, and the old lady personally sent people out of Shouping Courtyard.
Sister Caiqi, who was kneeling beside her, made a gesture of slapping her mouth, and the slap did not fall on her face, and when the old lady sent her father-in-law Ning out, Caiqi got up quickly, dusted off her skirt, and looked relaxed.
Si'er: "? ”
Without asking her doubts, the old lady had already strode back.
She quickly ordered: "Throw this yellow plum blossom out quickly, open the window for ventilation, extinguish the incense, and sprinkle the house with water soaked in grapefruit peel." ”
Father-in-law Ning is old, and there is an unpleasant smell of old people on his body, and the old lady fairy has a sensitive nose, so she has to make this decision.
After the maid cleaned up the room, she looked at Si'er again and said, "I heard that the eldest princess received this righteous girl is very beautiful, how beautiful is it?" ”
Si'er thought for a while and said, "The face is like a peach apricot." ”
"Then let Yan Er have fun." The old lady's tone was very relaxed, and she turned around and instructed Caiqi, "Let someone take out the gilded door number in the treasury, and it will be hung up soon." ”
"Yes." Caiqi responded.
Then asked: "Old lady, it is said that Chrysostom is difficult to chase after a horse, and Gonggong Ning told His Majesty that because the prince was named the wolf king, the little lady was so afraid that she didn't dare to come to the door to participate in the Binglan Meeting, will Your Majesty really change the title of the prince?" What if he sent someone to confront those little ladies? ”
