Chapter 12: The Enemy on the Belly and Back (1)
Returning from the palace, Xia Qian was angry with Huo Zun.
She was not very comfortable, and she was still lying in bed until noon the next day.
In the afternoon, she sat alone in the courtyard staring at the big plane tree, and two magpies chirped above her head.
After calling for a long time, the matter of revenge on the Huo family has been arranged for her, so that she can go to Liuyun Pavilion with peace of mind, and repeatedly emphasized the three strings.
"your three strings, whoever has the ability to play it, I won't!" She glared at them fiercely.
Qingyue walked into the courtyard with a happy face and smiled at her, "Young lady, who do you see coming?" ”
Xia Qian looked back, and the whole person was stupid.
"Young lady, the two of us are back!" Yu Nuan smiled at her and walked over.
Watching Bai Bing and Yu Nuan move the bags they brought from Nankang into the courtyard one by one, her mind was full of the words "Alluring the city and the country".
These two people have a hot and cold temperament, and their skin is black and white, which makes her involuntarily think of two people - black and white impermanence.
Yes!
For her, these two people are black and white impermanence, specially to urge souls to ask for their lives!
"Major General!" Seeing Huo Zun walk in, the two of them hurriedly bowed.
Huo Zun sat down at the table next to Xia Qian, and said lightly: "I'm not a general now, I don't have to be called that!" ”
Yu Nuan chuckled, saluted him again, and thanked: "If it weren't for Young Master Huo's entrustment, the slaves and maids would probably have to stay in the palace for a few more days, thank you Young Master, thank Madame!" ”
Xia Qian looked at the three of them and gritted her teeth in anger.
Huo Zun, this bastard, had just caused her to be humiliated in the palace. This will, take these two back, is this a joke to see her with an iron heart?
In front of him watched closely, and behind him there were two maids and two birds urging endlessly, how could she mix with the enemy on her belly and back?
"What? Not happy? He asked, surprised.
She stared at the big plane tree, and asked with no joy on her face, "Is there one?" I'm happier than anyone else! ”
The two maids lived in a row of small houses to the south of their dormitory, not far from where they lived, but the north-facing side of the row of houses had no doors or windows, so they could not see their row at all.
When the two of them went out, they had to bypass in front of their row of houses, and their every move was in Huo Zun's sight.
It's not a good bird, full of calculations!
Xia Qian stared at the two magpies on the plane tree and scolded secretly.
Bai Bing and Yu Nuan returned to their rooms after eating, and Xia Qian sat at the table of the Eight Immortals in a daze at a few fruits in the fruit bowl.
Huo Zun looked at her and asked in surprise, "Your dowry maid is back, why don't you go over and take a look?" ”
"Who's to say no, I'm just wondering which of these fruits they prefer?" Xia Qian said, picking up the fruit plate and walking towards Yu Nuan and Bai Bing's house.
Seeing Xia Qian coming, Bai Bing was guarding the door, Yu Nuan put down the work in his hand, and after serving tea and pouring water for the master, he took out a small box.
"This is the young lady's belongings, as well as the two boxes in the back, some of which were brought from Kang Guo, and some of which we added to you. Those two boxes are not needed for the time being, so we will put them here first. Guqin and tea set, I will send it to the young lady early tomorrow morning. ”
"Are you two okay in the palace? Have you been affected by me? Xia Qian asked tentatively.
Yu Nuan chuckled and shook her head.
This girl's smile is warm and charming, if Xia Qian didn't know her identity, she wouldn't have believed that such a gentle and considerate maid would push herself to the road of no return.
Powerful ghosts urge souls, impermanence asks for life!
Did she owe them in her last life?
Yu Nuan looked at her and praised with a smile: "I didn't expect that during a palace performance, the young lady easily provoked the contradiction between the Qingtian King's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, and skillfully put the Zhenguo General's Mansion in." Now, the general's mansion is gone, which is very beneficial to our Kangguo. The young lady has many birds in one stone, she is really clever! ”
Xia Qian was in her heart, and a sip of tea sprayed directly on the other party's face.
Yu Nuan looked at her gently, chuckled and took out the handkerchief, wiped the tea on her face, and began to talk about their next task.
"The slave knows that the young lady has suffered some grievances because of this, but for the sake of Kangguo, even if the three of us fight for our lives, it is worth it. Lord Le Yi is very satisfied with the young lady's performance, and there will be a big reward in the future. The young lady's next task is to contact our backers in the Yi country. ”
Hearing the word "task", Xia Qian was full of anger.
The two birds had been shouting for a few days, and as soon as they had finished shouting in the afternoon, the two of them began to urge again.
"Three strings, will you?" She gave the other an angry look.
Yu Nuan looked surprised: "Three strings? What three strings? I'm talking about the joint at the birthday banquet in the King's Mansion, young woman, what are the three strings you are talking about? ”
Xia Qian was stunned for a moment, aren't those two magpies in the same group as them?
The magpie calls her master, and the relationship is naturally not ordinary, and Nankangguo will hand over the important task of "captivating the country and the city" to her, and she is naturally convinced.
If it weren't for a gang, would the original owner of this body still have multiple identities?
"I'm talking about the pipa, I've been in a hurry these days, I'm thinking about how to play it for fun, and thinking about it, I think of three strings and four strings!"
"That's the case, young lady, you are superb at the piano, and it is reasonable to play when you are bored. It's just that the birthday banquet of the Heavenly King's Mansion is the day after tomorrow, and the matter of the joint cannot be delayed. The day after tomorrow, the young lady only needs to put this jade hairpin on her head, and the other party will naturally recognize you. ”
Taking the hairpin in Yu Nuan's hand, Xia Qian hurriedly walked out of the house with the small box just now.
When she went out, when it was dark, she did not hesitate to throw the hairpin into the garden.
After returning to the dormitory, she sat on the edge of the bed and opened the small box to see that in addition to clothes and shoes, there were some cute gadgets, jade, pottery, metal, most of which were musical instruments.
She likes ancient musical instruments, and she is quite curious about these gadgets, and she holds them in her hand and tinkers with them one by one.
"Huh! There is such a small teapot? ”
She picked up a small pottery object and looked at it, and found that it was not only delicately shaped, but also had some small holes in the lid.
Sniffing closely, she noticed that the teapot still exuded a faint fragrance. It's just that this strange smell of tea, she has never smelled it before.
Huo Zun came out of the bathroom and just happened to see her looking at a delicate small teapot.
"You like this thing?" A dark cloud rolled over his cold face.
Xia Qian nodded, "This thing is quite chic, and there is a faint fragrance of tea!" ”
"Tea fragrance?" There was a wave of anger in his cold eyes, "If you like it!" ”
Qingyue sent a few sets of clothes in, and after making the bed, she smiled at Xia Qian and said, "It seems that after Bai Bing and Yunuan come back, the young lady's mood has also improved a lot." It's not too early, the slave and maid are waiting for you to bathe! ”
Today's menstrual affair has just ended, and she should indeed take a bath after not bathing for a few days.
Full of thoughts about her own gadgets, Qingyue helped her get dressed after bathing, and she hurried out.
When she walked into the bedroom, she saw that Huo Zun was already sitting on the bed, taking a book and looking at it intently, and the small box she had just put on the bed was gone.
Huo Zun turned his head to look at her, his cold gaze carefully examined her from the top of her head to the soles of her feet, and finally stopped at her face.
His expression shocked Xia Qian's heart, and when he looked down, he saw that his exquisite silk thin skirt was loosely wrapped on his body, and the powder blue placket was wrapped diagonally around his left waist, just a simple bow.
As long as his fingers are lightly hooked, he can see her beauty.
The rose petals in the bath seemed to bloom in her bones, making her exude a rich floral fragrance all over her body, delicate and charming.
Because of the long fox fur blanket on the ground, she came out without shoes, a pair of pink feet were completely exposed, and there were bright red petals on her fingertips.
Seeing him looking at himself intently, Xia Qian's heartbeat suddenly increased by a few beats, and his face flushed.
She lowered her head and asked softly, "Where's my stuff?" ”
"On the bed!" He replied by staring at her without squinting.
