Chapter 3 The Woman in White in Ruolan Temple
Duo Meizi walked quickly to the front hall, the side concubines and the ladies talked and laughed and ate snacks together, and when they saw the arrival of Duo Meizi, several people were gloomy.
Concubine Shen pretended to cough a few times, and then she listlessly touched the luxurious golden step on her head and said, "What, you have learned the rules." ”
The side concubine was originally a very beautiful person, and her serious face was more like an ice beauty, it is said that because of her dignified and noble back then, the current emperor did not hesitate to point her to Yuwang Xuanyuan Che. Since she got married, she has become in control of the entire backyard.
When Sister Duo heard Concubine Shen say this, she had to bend her knees and say softly: "Say hello to Concubine Shen and your sisters." ”
Concubine Shen's voice seemed to be only in her throat, and after a long time, she drank a cup of tea before asking: "Oh, hehe, sister, I'm really sorry, I'm patronizing the tea, sister, do you have anything to do?" ”
"The concubine is ignorant, and the concubine knows that her identity is humble and she doesn't dare to compare with her sisters, but why can't the concubine's Ruolan Courtyard even eat a full meal?" Even if she crosses over, Duo Meizi still doesn't like to beat corners and cuts straight to the point.
The side concubine looked at a few concubines, and several people looked at each other, and then the side concubine said: "Sister, please sit down first, didn't I call five people over to you?" ”
The quick-talking grandmother on the side immediately helped: "Yes, I personally selected the person, five maidservants, help you clean the yard or serve the left and right, according to the rules of the palace, your current standard is close to that of the side concubine, and the average aunt only has three maids." ”
Duo Meizi chuckled: "Yes, dare to ask where the maid is, there is no third person except my Xi Nu in Ruolan Courtyard." ”
"This, this, the side concubine is angry, those maids don't dare to enter the Ruolan Courtyard, saying that there are ghosts in it......" Looking at the side concubine's frowning brows, a side concubine immediately explained.
Duo Meizi smiled and thought to herself: What is so terrible about ghosts, it is true that there are ghosts in your heart.
However, Sister Duo still said respectfully: "Sister, I don't need so many maids to come into the yard to serve, since I don't dare to come in, then please ask the side concubine to make sure that I and Xinu have no worries, Sister Duo doesn't dare to disturb." ”
Ancient women were really boring, they had nothing to do to rob men to play, and they didn't look at whether that man had taken them to heart.
After such a fuss, Sister Duo's diet gradually improved, maybe because this body was a Gu girl, they didn't dare to poison it, what is the use of poisoning, Sister Duo is not invaded by five poisons.
It's only been a few days since the good days, and the girl wants to be peaceful, but others don't allow it, and many maids and concubines are curious about the mystery of Ruolan Courtyard, and even intensify their efforts to make fun of the girl.
She wants to be peaceful, others are not allowed, today put a poisonous insect, tomorrow put a scorpion, so that she will never have peace, this can make Xi Nu unable to hold her breath, Xiang Duo Meizi said: "Miss, look, you keep saying to see how the situation is, people are happy to bully us." ”
"What's this, I'm just bored, so someone will come to accompany me, Xinu, these things may be terrible and disgusting to others, but you have forgotten what we do." Duo Meizi smiled, and a pair of bright eyes seemed to be able to speak.
Only then did Xi Nu suddenly realize: "The people in the palace treat us really well, these things are good materials for our Gu refining, I am still worried that I will go out to find it again when there is no one at night, Miss Duo, please, you give me the Gu technique of Phoenix Nirvana." ”
"Xi Nu, other Gu techniques are fine, although Phoenix Nirvana is good-looking, it hurts the body, and people who are not cultivating enough will be eaten back if they practice this Gu technique." Duo Meizi said solemnly.
Although he accepted this body's abnormal Gu art talent, he also knew the dangers of Gu magic.
Xi Nu grabbed the poisonous insects, centipedes, and scorpions that the maids threw in and raised them with bamboo tubes to facilitate future materials, but those people never understood why the master and servant were not afraid, could it be that they were all monsters.
It was night, the cool breeze was blowing outside the window, and the weather in early autumn was extremely cold at night, and a gust of wind blew through the window, as if someone was crying softly.
The red candle didn't know when it was extinguished by the wind, and at this time, it was already the middle of the night, and Duo Meizi and Xinu had fallen asleep.
The window was blown open by the wind, and the cold wind invaded the girl, and she didn't feel awake, and a black shadow crossed the window. Duo Meizi couldn't believe her eyes, and was about to close her eyes to sleep, when a black shadow flashed through the window again.
A cry like crying, like a cry of resentment faintly came, Duo Meizi shivered, and couldn't help but be afraid in her heart, such a night, such a cry, who would be frightened.
At this time, the Xi slave who was sleeping in the small bed also woke up, although the Xi slave nagged, but he was very bold, and quietly walked to the side of the girl, and whispered: "Miss, don't be afraid, Xi Nu is here, wait for me to go out and have a look, you wait for me to catch ghosts for you." ”
"Don't go, what if it hurts you?" Duo Meizi has some concerns, Xi Nu grew up by Duo Meizi's side since she was a child, in the village, although she is named Duo Meizi's maid, but her feelings are like sisters.
Xi Nu didn't listen, and jumped to the window, and a voice under the window shouted: "Ah!! Help me!! ”
Listening to this voice, Duo Meizi knew that Xinu had succeeded, so she immediately lit a candle and waited for Xinu and the 'ghost' to come up.
Xinu really dragged a woman dressed in white to the house, and Duo Meizi took off the woman's mask, poured a cup of tea for the woman, and said softly: "Who are you, who let you come." ”
The woman in white did not speak.
"Girl, what's your name?"
The woman in white still didn't speak.
Xi Nu couldn't hold it anymore, and said to the woman in white: "Are you dumb? ”
The woman in white blushed and nodded, and after careful inquiry, she learned that the woman in white had always lived in the small house behind this courtyard, and she was here when King Yu didn't move here, and she only came out to find food every night, probably because she was afraid that others would find out, so the woman in white pretended to be a ghost to protect herself.
Xinu looked at the woman in white pitifully, and took a bunch of food to her: "Girl, you eat, don't come out to be scary in the future, my young lady is kind and won't hurt you, come here when you're hungry in the future, we'll get you food." ”
The woman in white nodded, looked at Duo Meizi gratefully, saved two steamed buns in her arms and walked quietly, silently, like a ghost.
After a long time, when there was no voice, Xi Nu said: "Miss, she is not an ordinary person, she is very good." ”
"Maybe it's not light work, it's yoga, don't talk to anyone, it's too late, go to sleep." Duo Meizi sighed, and finally found out the mystery about the ghost.
"Yoga? What is Yoga? When Xi Nu was about to ask, the soft snoring of Duo Meizi had already come slowly.
Originally, I thought that Xuanyuan Che would never come to Ruolan Courtyard to see Sister Duo again, but I didn't expect that when Sister Duo was feeding the scorpions and martial arts sent by others, an uninvited guest came.
Sister Duo was a little surprised when she saw Xuanyuan Che, and then put the Gu worm away with an an, and asked for peace with a smile: "The concubine is a princess to ask for peace." ”
"Do you spend your days with these poisonous insects?" Xuanyuan Che asked contemptuously, there was an indescribable expression on his handsome cheeks, and he didn't know if Xuanyuan Che was angry or something else at this moment.
Duo Meizi smiled calmly: "Lord, the concubine is from the Gu Art Village, and the like is naturally not afraid, and she can't learn to be a female celebrity compared to the sisters in the palace." ”
Xuanyuan Che said coldly: "If you really have your aunt's demeanor, don't let this king see such disgusting things in the future." ”
Seeing that Sister Duo still had a humble smile on her face, Xuanyuan Che became even more angry: "By the way, I forgot to tell you a good news, in order to appease the hearts of your villagers, my father specially named you Concubine Duo, which is even higher than the side concubine, congratulations." ”
Although it was congratulations, the resentment in the tone was audible to everyone, and the girl wanted to catch the man and ask what was going on, but the man's face was frosty, and people didn't dare to approach.
Duo Meizi respectfully sent Xuanyuan Che out of the door, made a grimace at the man's back, and said with a smile: "Hmph, what's your business." ”
Xi Nu was a little scared: "Miss, why don't we dispose of these things, if the prince sees it again, he will definitely be unhappy." ”
"Whatever, it's good if we're happy, hide it, we'll get Gu at night, remember, you can only make medicine Gu in the palace, don't use Gu magic to harm people, these are also what the patriarch said." Duo Meizi is afraid that Xinu's impulsive personality will make a big mistake.
Although the Gu technique is mysterious, Duo Meizi has not used it since she crossed over, so she doesn't dare to try it easily.
Xi Nu was a little happy: "Miss, you are a concubine now, will we move out of this ghost place?" ”
"Don't be delusional, it's okay not to seal this concubine, according to the etiquette system of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, the side concubine in the house is originally a noble concubine, and her identity will drop as soon as I come, and our hard days have not yet begun." The girl fiddled with the flowers and plants in the yard as she explained.
Xi Nu said with a smile: "There are really many rules in the Central Plains, how good it is in our village, a man can only have another wife, and there can be no concubines, so a lot of struggles have been avoided." ”
Although the treatment of Sister Duo is not very good, after all, she already has the status of a princess. Even if Xuanyuan Che doesn't like her or even hates her a little, he can't deny the fact that the emperor gave her the title of princess. Xuanyuan Che's favored concubines couldn't bear it, and they saw that Sister Duo's unfavored and unpopular princess naturally wanted to replace her. While currying favor with Xuanyuan Che, he secretly made a bad deal to the girl.
