Chapter 22 Resembling the Man in the Painting
The latest chapter of "Plundering Love: Wrong to the Prince..."...
"Miss, I really don't know this, it was Master Mo who took a fancy to my daughter and asked her to rehearse for the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet." Dai Xiao patiently explained, just when she saw the steward of Jingmin Pavilion coming, she hurriedly said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask the steward." ”
"Miss Li," the steward said respectfully.
"She's telling the truth?" Li Xueyun glanced at Dai Xiao, put away the energy on her body just now, and asked lightly.
"Yes, Miss Li, I'm here to see Fluttershy to practice." The steward replied.
"Since it's a rehearsal for the Queen Mother, be careful, don't make anything reckless, steward, you'd better be more attentive and careful, otherwise the reward will be lost, and your life will be lost." It also involves the king of Shangxi and Prince Mo. Li Xueyun's tone softened and said.
"Yes, yes." The steward nodded respectfully.
After the steward pulled Fluttershy away, Li Xueyun glanced at Dai Xiao coldly, "Do whatever you have to do!" ”
"Yes, Miss Li." Dai Xiao flew towards the gate of Jingmin Pavilion as she responded.
It's going to be late for sure!
Dai Xiao ran to the West Palace, probably Ximen Zhe had an explanation in advance, and the palace guards did not interrogate Dai Xiao, allowing her to step directly into the gate of the palace and run rampantly to the Plum Blossom Court.
At the door of the courtyard, Dai Xiao stopped urgently, carefully held on to the door frame, and walked in on tiptoe.
The courtyard was quiet, and there seemed to be no one.
"Miss Dai, the prince asked you to clean the study together today." Suddenly, a maid called Dai Xiao behind her and startled her.
Even if you don't know her, as long as you say that a woman with half a mask on her face is called Dai Xiao, no one will admit it.
Extra work!
Although Dai Xiao was reluctant, she still smiled slightly on the surface and asked politely, "Excuse me, where is the prince's study?" ”
The maid showed Dai Xiao the way and left.
The study was not far from the Plum Blossom Garden, and Dai Xiao quickly found it.
There seems to be no movement in the study, and Ximen Zhe is not there?
Dai Xiao tiptoed a few steps along the outer wall of the study, let go of her guts, and quickened her pace and slipped into the house.
If you have found the study, let's clean it here first, so as not to sweep the big yard first, and then get the fallen leaves of the yard by Ximenzhe.
Since Ximenzhe likes to beat fallen leaves, it is better to let him play as much as he wants, and then go to clean up there at the end.
The stomach kept barking.
Dai Xiao took out the bun from her arms, took a big bite, and looked at this room while swallowing, it was really a big study, bigger than the entire house of a poor family, and it was divided into inside and outside.
Dai Xiao paced to her desk and pulled out a painting from the roll.
I wonder what masterpiece King West will like? His heart is so dark, could it be a crow in the night?
"Flutter!" Dai Xiao smiled when she thought about it, took another bite of the bun, and raised her hand to shake off the scroll.
The bun that had just bitten into her mouth almost squirted out, and Dai Xiao swallowed the bun stiffly, but her eyes stared straight at the scroll and couldn't take it off.
This...... This......
At a glance, Dai Xiao recognized that the person in the painting was very similar to herself, to be exact, like herself without a mask.
But do you have the clarity and brightness of the person in the painting? Maybe there used to be, but after five years of running around with Fluttershy and suffering, the pampered softness should be gone.
"Who allowed you to touch the king's things!" A sharp voice sounded abruptly from behind Dai Xiao.
Dai Xiao was startled, came back to her senses, quickly put the scroll on the table, and looked back at Ximen Zhe with a stiff face.
Simon Zhe walked to the table without saying a word, and carefully rolled up the painting, the movement was extremely gentle.
"You're late today, and you'll be deducted three days' worth of silver." Simon Zhetou did not return to the road.
What the? Deduction of wages, or three days?
When Dai Xiao heard this, she stomped her foot angrily, but she accidentally let go of half of the bun in her hand and fell to the ground, and her foot stepped on it, and as soon as she slipped, her body fell to Ximenzhe.
"Ahh Dai Xiao couldn't help but scream, waving her hands and grabbing them indiscriminately.
Ximen Zhe quickly turned sideways, dodged the "attack" behind him, and after a slight pause, he still reached out and grabbed Dai Xiao, who was about to crash into the edge of the table.
I should have thanked her, but Dai Xiao, who was distressed for three days, didn't say anything in anger, and just stood stupidly without saying a word.
Ximen Zhe looked at the other half of Dai Xiao's intact side face that was not covered by the mask, his eyes flashed, as if he had found the trace that he had been looking for for many years, and he approached unconsciously forward.
"What are you going to do?" Dai Xiao's heart was shocked, and she didn't know how Ximen Zhe was going to deal with her.
Ximen Zhe looked at Dai Xiao silently, his eyes were deep, as if he had a kind of expectation.
What does he want to do? Dai Xiao's hands couldn't help but clench, thinking of that portrait, her heart was flustered, could it be that he found something? Why did he have such a portrait?
Ximen Zhe raised his hand to hook Dai Xiao's chin and straightened her face, the ugly cowhide mask met his eyes, making him want to take it off again.
This time it's not just curious, but I want to see this complete face clearly, how far is it from the impression in my memory?
"Lord Wang?" As soon as Li Xueyun walked to the door of the study, she saw such a strange scene.
She clearly saw that Ximen Zhe's eyes were shining with an inexplicable light when he faced that ugly woman, and her heart sank fiercely, wasn't that woman in Jingmin Pavilion? Why did he appear in the study of the King of the West again?
What's even more incredible is that how could King Xi look at such a woman differently?
Let her be the only daughter of the prime minister's house, Li Xueyun, to eat the vinegar of this ugly woman, which is really practicing her identity. Li Xueyun would rather think about it herself, Xiwang is not close to women and should not lose his aesthetics, he has this special habit.
"What are you going to do?" Ximen Zhe's hand was taken away from Dai Xiao's chin, and he said in a flat voice.
Dai Xiao touched her chin, and it hurt a lot.
Li Xueyun glanced at Dai Xiao, walked towards Ximen Zhe, and said affectionately, "Lord, the concubine misses you." ”
Although the marriage ceremony was not completed smoothly, she was already recognized as the princess of Zhunxi, and the fact of marriage still existed, so Li Xueyun could enter the Xiwang Mansion at will with this identity, and she also swept away her previous reserve, showing her softness to Ximen Zhe.
That's what she should, she can. That's the progress she's been waiting for five years.
In front of outsiders**, Dai Xiao listened to Li Xueyun compared to the angry language when she saw her in Jingmin Pavilion, it was really like two people, and her soft and greasy voice gave people goosebumps.
"You go and sweep somewhere else." Ximen Zhe sat on the chair and said to Dai Xiao.
