Chapter 3: The Doubts of Rebirth
It's just that grandpa said that she was cast to a big family as a young lady, why did she become a concubine in the palace? Could it be that grandpa made a mistake? With these questions in mind, she slowly kicked off the quilt and sat up.
The girl outside the door heard the sound in the room, and pushed the door in with a babbling sound, and the girl in the goose yellow dress yesterday had changed into a lake blue dress, and was looking at her with a smile, and said in her mouth: "Little master, you are awake!" She turned back to the girl in light blue clothes who followed her and said, "Fan'er, you go and fetch water to freshen up the little master!" ”
The girl named Fan'er answered the call and went out.
Mao Leyan looked at a pair of brocade embroidered soft-soled bow shoes neatly placed in front of the bed, put his feet in a little awkwardly, and then stood up. The girl hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said, "Be careful, your body is still very weak." ”
Mao Leyan slept for more than ten hours, where is he still weak? Her body was as strong as a cow, and she broke away from the girl's hand and said, "I'll go by myself." After that, he walked to the dark red carved dresser with some anxiety, took a look at the bronze mirror, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned. There are obvious fingerprint marks on the left cheek, revealing a purple-red color, Mao Le said in his heart: With such a delicate face, how can the prince be willing to fight? It's really not a merciful lord.
The girl thought she was nervous about her appearance, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, little master, Xiao Shu will boil an egg for you in a while, and the bruise will disappear soon." ”
Xiao Shu is probably the name of this girl, she shouted tentatively: "Xiao Shu! ”
The girl replied: "Yes! ”
A shallow smile appeared at the corner of Mao Leyan's mouth and said, "Do you have anything to eat?" I am hungry! ”
Xiao Shu smiled: "Little master, please freshen up first, Xiao Shu will go and get lunch." ”
It was already noon, and the people in Fuzhong had already eaten lunch. Xiao Shu brought her toiletries, and Fan Er came in with hot water.
Mao Leyan looked at the cleaning products in front of her, she knew that the invention of the toothbrush should be the Southern Song Dynasty, using bone, horn, bamboo, wood and other materials to drill two rows of pores on the head and plant a horsetail. It's very close to a modern toothbrush. When she saw what looked like toothbrushes, she sighed slightly, carefully picked up the toothbrush, dipped it in a little salt, and began to rinse her mouth. But these toothbrushes were not used in the end, and she only poked them hard a few times, and then she felt a few hairs moving in her mouth.
Xiao Shu smiled: "Little master, what are you doing with Mu Ya?" Carefully shed a mouthful of horsehair. ”
Mao Leyan hurriedly took tea and spit out the horsehair in his mouth, and Fan Er handed her a warm towel to wipe her face. She rubbed it haphazardly and discarded it in the delicate wooden basin.
The lunch was exquisite, with a slight amount of heat.
Mao Leyan was in a bad mood, where could he eat, so he picked a few pieces of lotus root at random, ate a small bowl of white rice and put down the bowl. Xiao Shu smiled: "Little Lord has a good appetite today!" ”
Mao Leyan was stunned, she just ate a little more than bird food, so she had a good appetite? What did this little lord eat in the past?
She fooled two sentences: "Xu didn't eat last night and was hungry." Xiao Shu said: "It's good that you are willing to eat, for the sake of the prince marrying the side concubine, you can't eat for several days." ”
Mao Leyan was a chill again, what kind of woman was she possessed? Or is this concubine really in love with the prince? It's just that no matter what, it's very stupid to not be able to eat for a man.
She pretended to sigh sadly, "Now that I have seen it, even if I don't eat or drink, he won't take it to heart, so why bother with himself?" ”
Seeing her like this, Xiao Shu's face was relieved, and he said: "It's good that the little master understands how to think like this, by the way, the fifth little master sent Xiao Qiu to greet you today, and also sent some medicinal materials to nourish the body, it's really heartfelt!" ”
Mao Leyan was stunned, the five little masters? This prince actually has five concubines? She stood up a little weakly, and it was okay because he had many women, and he would probably soon forget about the woman he hated, right? It's just that these five little masters also know how to be a person, knowing that she was punished by the prince, and they are willing to send her things.
"Thank her for me!" Mao Leyan said lightly.
"That's natural, it's just that the fifth little master entered the house earlier than you, and has been good to you, how do you say that you have to call her the fifth sister, if she is safe today, she should personally go to thank Cai and the number of courtesies." Xiao Shu brought her a cup of tea and closed the window to prevent the autumn cold wind from blowing her.
Mao Leyan's hand to take the tea stopped in mid-air, her eyes were a little strange, she motioned to Xiao Shu to put the tea on the table, then sat on the chaise longue, and asked: "Xiao Shu, how many concubines does the prince have, and how many am I?" It was inappropriate to ask such a question, of course, but it was better than her guessing every day, and she would always have a reason to explain it later.
Xiao Shu was stunned for a moment, turned to look at her, and asked with some surprise: "Why did the little master ask like this?" "You answer me first!" Mao Leyan stared straight at her.
Xiao Shu put the teacup on the table, although she didn't know why she asked like this, but she still answered truthfully, "There are twenty-one little masters, and you are eighteen little masters!" ”
