Chapter Forty-Four: Xinwei
Looking at it this morning, Zhuang Chenchen was also very impatient.
In the end, he didn't even bother to raise his head, anyway, Yin Li knew what to do.
"Take it down." Zhuang Chenchen waved his hand, and his eyes fell on the book in front of him.
"It's the master." Yin Lilian responded. "Lead the way and lead them down."
"Your Highness didn't even look at us, and just sent us away?"
The woman who didn't move suddenly spoke, her voice sounding soft but also with a sense of clarity. "If I knew this was the case, I might as well send us in as maids. It's a pity that this good garment. ”
"Your Highness will not allow you to talk nonsense in front of you." Yin Li's displeasure stopped. "Don't hurry down yet."
"Wait." Zhuang Chenchen followed her white fingertips and carefully looked at the clothes on her body. It is the pattern of the phoenix wearing the peony, in order to show respect, the phoenix is just chatting about a few needles, only outlining the vividness, but it has not shown the appearance of wealth and atmosphere.
"You stay." He spoke lightly.
"Thank you, Your Highness." The woman smiled a little coldly, and did not show gratitude. It seems that it is reasonable to be left behind.
"Take the rest down." Yin Li commanded, and the flower hall fell silent.
"What's your name?" Zhuang asked with a tense face.
"Slave and maid." While she spoke, she slowly walked to Zhuang Chen's side, picked up a book, and closed it gently. "Your Highness has been reading for a long time, and it is inevitable that your eyes will feel dry. It's better to let people prepare a chrysanthemum wolfberry, and the name will also reduce the fire.
As she spoke, she walked behind Zhuang Chen, gently resting her hands on his temples, and the strength of her index finger was just right. "The slave has learned the kung fu of massage, please try it for Your Highness."
"Yin Li, go make tea." Zhuang Chenchen broke away and grabbed her wrist. With a little force, he threw her from behind and in front of him.
She was light and sat right on the table. Between the eyebrows, there is not such a charming smile, but it seems so close.
"The Royal Highness described by the concubine is not as handsome and extraordinary as the Royal Highness in the eyes of the slave maid. It is a blessing for a slave to be able to serve by His Highness's side. ”
Before Zhuang Chenchen asked, she admitted it first. "You're happy."
"In fact, His Highness is the smartest person in the world. The woman sent to your mansion is either the work of others or the spies who look at the emperor's grace, even if there are loyal servants to you, they may not be able to enter your eyes. Such a posture and talent as a slave must be countless. Therefore, the slave maid is by no means the most outstanding, but she must be the one who understands His Highness's mind the most. This is also the reason why the concubine chose slaves and maids to come to serve His Highness. ”
"To be too clever is to be self-righteous." Zhuang Chenchen's tone was slightly cold: "The king naturally understands the mother's intentions. It's just you, not fit to stay here. ”
"Your Highness." Xinwei stood up and saluted him. "More than ten years ago, when the slave was only a few years old, she was bought into the mansion by the concubine's mother's family. In the past ten years, although the slave maid was from a humble background, she was favored by the concubine's family in every way. Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, can not be called proficient, but it is not inferior to others. In addition, singing and dancing instruments, slaves and maids can also afford to put down. Over the past year, the slave and maid have taken nourishing medicinal soup every day to nourish their bodies, and they have not stopped for a day. For the sake of not staying with His Highness. ”
"Oh?" Zhuang Chenchen couldn't help but wonder: "Why is that?" ”
"In order to be able to open up branches and leaves for His Highness, I will ask for a man." Xinwei's cheeks were hot, and although she was a little embarrassed to say it, this was her purpose. "The original intention of the concubine was not to allow the slave to speak clearly. Only the wing room managed to get close to His Highness and won a little pity from His Highness. As long as she can give birth to His Royal Highness's first son, even if she is a slave and maid, she has repaid the concubine's cultivation for many years. But His Highness is so wise, it is better to speak out, than to fight for the calculation. If His Royal Highness agrees, it is naturally a blessing for slaves and maids. If not, the life of the slave and maid belongs to the concubine, and now how His Royal Highness wants to deal with it, the slave and maid are willing to accept it, and there is no two words. ”
The mother concubine is really still anxious. Zhuang Chenchen was unhappy in her heart, if she hadn't insisted on blocking the things back then, she would have been teasing her grandson a long time ago.
"I hope His Highness will make a choice." Xin Wei saluted respectfully, and his eyes were warm.
"What about your own mind?" Zhuang Yanchen asked coldly: "The concubine asked you to give birth to children for this king, and you sent them to the door like this?" ”
"How dare a slave have a mind of her own? The concubine's order is the mind of the slave. Xin Wei lowered her head respectfully, and the corners of her lips rose slightly.
The concubine did not fulfill his good fate in this life, so he was awkward and would not obey her arrangement.
"Yin Li, send her out of the house." Zhuang Chenchen said without hesitation.
Yin Li held the tea and walked in to put it down. Turning to Xinxi, he said, "Please." ”
"Wait." Xin Wei shook his head slightly, took the hairpin on his sideburns and presented it to both hands. "The concubine said that if His Royal Highness refuses to keep the slave and maid, he will give this hairpin to His Highness."
After taking the hairpin, Yin Li's hand couldn't help but tremble slightly. "Master."
Zhuang Chenchen's face changed greatly, just because he glanced at the hairpin. He quickly took it from Yin Li's hand, his eyes full of anger. "Where did you get that?"
This made Xinwei's heart beat suddenly, and she quickly knelt down: "Last night, the concubine asked someone to send it to the slave maid." also said that the slave maid would definitely change her mind when she saw this hairpin. Let the slave and maid be worn on the sideburns. ”
Anger, like a fire burning in his chest. His anger, unwillingness, and even resentment were intertwined, almost devouring him.
"Mother, I really think about this king. Yin Li took her to the inner courtyard to bathe and change her clothes. ”
Doesn't she just want a child! Okay, then he'll let him get his wish.
"Yes." Yin Li didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly disappeared from the flower hall with Xinwei.
At this time, Cen Muning was appreciating the food she cooked. Especially a dish of shredded chicken yuba, looking at the white flowers, sprinkled with some black sesame seeds and green onion flowers, there is a fragrance in the light and elegant, not to mention how delicious.
"You can afford it." Qingli walked in quickly, his brows furrowed. "Something is wrong."
"What's the big deal?" Cen Muning's heart chuckled, she was tossed and scared by those people in the palace. After two days of silence, this trouble came to the door again.
"The master chose a servant...... Command the attendants. Qingli bit her lip, she was shy and annoyed, and after saying this, her face turned red.
"......" Cen Muning looked at her helplessly, and she didn't know what to say for a long time.
"Princess, the slave knows that you are angry, but you have to think about it if you are angry again. You can't let that seduce your master! Qingli gritted his teeth and said, "What's more, it's still a blue sky and a white day." I can't wait to go to bed when I see each other, what kind of woman do you think it takes to do this......"
"I'm afraid it's not her who can't wait." Cen Mu Ning ate shredded chicken with relish.
Qingli was angry and snatched her chopsticks away: "Master, master is not the kind of person who looks for flowers and willows. The master is actually very single-minded. You believe in the slave and the maid, it must be the slave who seduces the master. Anyway, we can't get her wish. ”
While talking, Qingli dragged Cen Muning up, pulled her with a pull, and forcibly pushed her from the middle courtyard to the inner courtyard.
At this time, Zhuang Chenchen was eating silently alone.
When Cen Muning was pushed into the flower hall, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose. It's also because I pulled too hard with the green plow, and the hairpins on the sideburns were crooked and I didn't notice it.
"I don't go into ......"
"Princess, hurry up and go in to have lunch with your master."
"I won't go in......"
"No, princess, you can't give her this chance."
"Qingli, let go!"
"What's the noise!" Zhuang Chenchen was already full of depression, and when he heard the movement behind the screen, he was even more angry.
"Master, the princess specially brought side dishes to accompany you to dinner." Qingli shouted, and then let go of Cen Muning's hand: "Princess, you must coax the master to change his mind." ”
...... "Such a difficult task, Cen Muning was embarrassed." Greetings to Your Highness. ”
Zhuang Chenchen glanced up at her, and couldn't help frowning: "Are you going hunting?" ”
"Huh?" Cen Muning couldn't help but be surprised, and after a closer look, she found that the clothes on her body were all pulled crooked by Qingli, and her sleeves were also wrinkled. "The concubine is out of order, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness."
She brought the food basket prepared by Qingli in advance, opened the lid, and found that the vegetables inside had already been spilled, and she couldn't eat it at all.
Zhuang Chenchen glanced at the basket and couldn't help but sneer. "That's what you're preparing?"
"The concubine is reckless. Go back and prepare again. Please also ask Your Highness to wait. ”
"Stop." Zhuang Chenchen put down the chopsticks in his hand: "This king is used up, there is no need to prepare." ”
"Yes." Cen Muning stood in place awkwardly and didn't look back: "The concubine retired first." ”
"You heard about the sleeping room and came here on purpose?" Zhuang Chenchen still asked.
"The concubine is just a ......" was just forced to come by the green plow. Cen Muning didn't dare to say the latter words.
"Do you really think you are the wife of this king?" Zhuang Chen's tone was cold, and the irony in his words was extremely strong.
Cen Muning didn't think much about it originally, but Qingli couldn't stand it. But at this time, listening to his words, there was a feeling of being humiliated. She turned around slowly and looked at him: "Isn't the concubine the wife of His Highness?" ”
"Hmph." Zhuang Chenchen got up, walked over and pinched her chin: "What's the difference between you and them, aren't they all people who serve?" ”
"yes." Cen Mu nodded slightly: "What His Highness said is extremely true. ”
Without waiting for him to speak, Cen Mooning saluted dignifiedly: "Since His Royal Highness has someone to serve, the concubine body is not here to be an eyesore." Retired first. Coming out of the flower hall in a hurry, Cen Muning felt very unconvinced.
"Princess, are you alright?" Qingli followed behind her, and could feel her anger. "Is it because the master doesn't agree...... It's all slaves and maids, it's not good for you to make your master angry......"
Cen Muning stopped, and smiled at Qingli: "No." There's no way she's going to sleep. ”
Offended her, and still want to be happy with others? Cen Muning only slandered in her heart, let you succeed and count me as losing.
"Let's go, Qingli, I'll take you to have fun!"
