004, ninth-class concubine
When she returned to Luping Courtyard, she went to the small kitchen to boil porridge, Zhining was still asleep, so she took advantage of this gap to clean up the peach petals in the yard.
At this time, the sun also came out, Mu Wanqing felt the warm sunshine, she was still aware of everything, she was still alive, although she was borrowing someone else's body, but being alive was better than anything else.
Not long after, Zhi Ning had already woken up, but her consciousness was still a little blurry, she saw Mu Wanqing, her eyes were moist, but she couldn't say a word when she opened her mouth.
"Don't talk, eat some porridge first." Mu Wanqing helped Zhining up, and began to slowly feed Zhining to eat porridge.
The porridge has only a little salty taste, without any ingredients, but there is a fragrance, a bowl of porridge is eaten quickly, and Zhining's face is finally ruddy. Mu Wanqing was relieved at this time, last night she endured the pain and went to the firewood room to release Zhi Ning, at that time Zhi Ning's breathing was weak, and the whole person was lifeless, but her mouth was still muttering: "Miss...... Miss ......"
At that moment, Mu Wanqing couldn't help but shed two lines of tears, obviously she didn't want to cry, but no one had ever treated her like this, she was an orphan in modern times, she grew up in an orphanage, she had no relatives, and she didn't feel any warmth. But the feeling that Zhi Ning gave her, she wanted to protect Zhi Ning, a silly girl, for the rest of her life.
"Feeling okay?" Mu Wanqing asked with concern, taking a glass of salt water to Zhi Ning, "Drink some salt water to replenish the salt lost in your body." ”
Zhi Ning took the cup of salt water, but she didn't drink it, she lowered her head and said in a hoarse voice: "Miss, I'm sorry......"
Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, but asked, "How long have you been following me?" ”
Zhi Ning thought for a while before saying: "The slave maid has been sold into the Prime Minister's Mansion since she was a child, and she has been serving Miss since she was a child, and Miss is seventeen this year, and it has been about ten years." ”
"That's it, you've been with me for ten years, and you're still saying you're sorry." Mu Wanqing said, and persuaded her to drink the salt water quickly and have a good rest.
Mu Wanqing also hastily ate some porridge and water, so she hurried to Tonghuaju.
Huo Chen was about to come back from the morning court, Tonghua Curie was also busy, Aunt Guixin saw that Mu Wanqing was late, and couldn't help frowning: "Madam, why is it late today?" ”
"I came here when Zhining fell asleep, I don't know if I missed the hour." Mu Wanqing stuck out her tongue, fortunately Huo Chen hadn't come back yet, otherwise she would definitely be punished again.
"Then Madame, go and prepare the smoker, everything else is almost ready."
Mu Wanqing nodded, then went to take the tangled peony and green leaf smoker on the case, and walked outside. Speaking of Huo Chen's habits, it is really strange, the spice of the smoker is agarwood, and even the spice of the sachet is also agarwood, which causes Huo Chen to have an agarwood fragrance all over his body. She went out to change into new agarwood spices, and when she was about to walk into the inner hall, she saw Ying Ji slowly walking into Tonghua House, and the two looked at each other, and they were about to spark.
"What a lowly woman! How dare you look at me like that? Do you understand the rules? Ying Ji stared at Mu Wanqing, her plump figure slowly approached, and Mu Wanqing could smell the rouge on her body.
She is only a ninth-class concubine, and even if Ying Ji is a concubine, her status is higher than her, otherwise she wouldn't have to do these spice changes, Mu Wanqing can bend and stretch, so she said: "I am looking at Mrs. Ying Ji today, so beautiful, the prince must like it." ”
Ying Ji touched her cheek, smiled slightly, and glanced at Mu Wanqing: "I'm really good at talking, forget it today." After finishing speaking, he went into the inner hall and waited for Huo Chen.
Mu Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly put the smoker back on the table. Everything was ready, everyone relaxed, she and the maids retreated, and soon after, Huo Chen came back, he was wearing an official uniform, with a heroic appearance, the facial features on his face seemed to be carved out with a knife, and the corners of his mouth smiled, as if he had encountered something happy.
Seeing him walk in, Mu Wanqing was sighing in her heart that there was no danger, but a maid stopped her: "The prince asked you to go in." ”
Mu Wanqing was stunned, and the maid shouted impatiently: "Hurry up!" Deaf?! ”
She hurriedly walked into the inner hall, only to see Huo Chen sitting on the Taishi chair, Yingji lying on his body like a boneless, she looked down, only to see that the tangled peony and green leaf smoker fell to the ground, and the agarwood broken wood in it was all spilled, and there was a little smoke, her head slammed, and when she saw the cold smile on the corner of Yingji's mouth, she understood everything.
"You can't even do this little effort, what's the use of keeping you here?" Huo Chen kicked the smoker and said coldly.
"That's right, the prince just came back from the early dynasty and is tired, but you cheap thing is so ignorant of good and bad, it spoils the prince's interest." Ying Ji's voice was delicate, but her fingers kept stroking on Huo Chen's chest.
"Lord Wang, the concubine put the smoker firmly just now, maybe a little wild cat knocked it down." Mu Wanqing glanced at Ying Ji intentionally or unintentionally.
"You!" Ying Ji suddenly became angry, and just wanted to scold, but realized that Huo Chen was by her side, so she said with an aggrieved face: "Lord, she said that the slave family is a little wild cat." ”
Huo Chen snorted, and without looking at Mu Wanqing squarely, he said; "Do you do something wrong and want to shift the blame to others? Ask the people in the inner chamber, who can testify for you? ”
Mu Wanqing glanced at the people in the inner hall, all of them were maids, all of them bowed their heads and kept silent, Mu Wanqing bit her lip, Aunt Guixin, who was usually good to her, was not in the inner hall, it seemed that this time there was no proof of death.
"Nothing to say, right? Then pick up the agarwood and don't get in the way of the king's eyes. ”
Mu Wanqing's eyes widened in surprise, this agarwood material was still hot, and if she wanted to pick it up, I was afraid that her fingers would be burned.
Huo Chen glanced at her, his eyes were full of disdain: "Don't dare? Do you know how the master of the palace punishes the minions? Tell the minions who make mistakes to pick up the hot charcoal and pick it up, and the minions who say the wrong thing will have to eat the charcoal so that they will not make mistakes again in the future. Isn't it just that you are asked to pick up an agarwood material, and you don't dare? ”
Mu Wanqing chuckled lightly in her heart, human life was really worthless in the eyes of their magnates, she slowly squatted down, endured everything, her fingers slowly stretched out to the red wood, and her fingers felt the hot breath.
Getting closer and closer, Mu Wanqing simply closed her eyes, and died freely!
"Lord Wang!" There was a shout at the door.
Mu Wanqing Huo Ran opened her eyes, turned her head to look back.
