Chapter 34: Deliberately Pulling Hatred
Hua Mei'er kept tearing the Jinpa in her hand, looked around at the whisperer fiercely, and then cast her sharp gaze on Mu Xuefu, snorted coldly, without the slightest sense of respect, "The princess's mouth is really powerful, and this ability to reverse black and white is unmatched." However, the maids of the concubines were not as lucky as the people around the princess, and they could not afford such expensive clothes. However, the concubine still advised the princess that this was too extravagant and not a good thing for the palace. ”
Mu Xuefu picked up a grape slowly, slowly opened it, and said calmly: "This seems that Concubine Hua is too stingy, whether it is us or the subordinates going in and out, it represents the image of the palace, if you wear too shabby, it will make people laugh." ”
"The concubine and others are not like the princess who has a good mother's family, and even the clothes of the subordinates have caught up with us people." Hua Mei'er's face turned red, but she still refused to flinch a point from her mouth.
"Indeed, your maiden family is really inferior to the princess's maiden family." Mu Xuefu was so stingy that she didn't want to look at her again, but just nodded, as if she agreed with what she said.
"It is said that the official university crushes people to death, and the princess's father is Zuo Xiang, which is several levels higher than Concubine Hua's father." It was the concubine named Yun Shu who took the lead in interjecting just now, and she couldn't say a word that Hua Mei'er choked. In the past, Hua Meier relied on her mother's family, and she could pick any jewelry and fabrics in the house first, and the two of them had a lot of disagreements about this matter. However, her father is only a six-grade petty official, and he has to give up the best every time. Now that there is a concubine with a better family background, of course she wants to humiliate Hua Mei'er.
Mu Xuefu only watched coldly, looking at Hua Mei'er's ugly face and imminent move, and said: "When you enter the palace, you are the prince's person, and what kind of family background do you mention." As for this fabric, I was also talking about playing just now, where can Ziyao and the others still use such good materials as Concubine Hua, not to mention them, even I am afraid that I can't afford it. ”
Jing Rong drank by himself, and turned a deaf ear to all the things between women, until Mu Xuefu finished speaking, he looked sideways at her, and his eyes fell on the expensive clothes. Secret Dao: You still say that you can't afford to use other people's materials? This body at a glance is the best Shu brocade silk, the embroidery on it is more delicate and delicate, such an embroiderer does not know how long the embroidery girl has to embroider to get a horse, I am afraid that a horse is not enough to say the value of this cloth.
Hua Mei'er's breath in her heart didn't attack in the end, she swallowed her throat, swallowed the angry and depressed anger raw, and stopped talking.
The subtle atmosphere seemed a little awkward, and someone took the lead in raising a glass and saying a few high-sounding greetings to Hua Mei'er to make the atmosphere harmonious. The sound of bells and drums rises clearly, several dancing girls dance into their skirts, courtesans sing in unison, covering up the previous vignettes, and everyone enjoys the sound of delicacies, wine, silk and bamboo orchestras, a group of harmonious music.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and tired of singing and dancing, in order to keep the masters from being bored, Zhou Cheng specially invited an acrobatic team from outside. Seeing that the time was almost up, he withdrew the song and dance, and let the acrobats take the stage.
Boredom, Mu Xuefu supported her jaw with her hands, and her blurry gaze closed little by little, which really couldn't lift her spirits. In a trance, she suddenly heard a familiar voice, she frowned, and opened her eyes to look at the source of the sound. When I saw the person clearly, I was shocked, and the sleepiness disappeared in an instant. His eyes traveled between the several people performing, and he secretly exhaled in his heart. glanced at Zi Yao who was standing beside her again, and saw that she was also flustered, and shook her head slightly, signaling her not to be nervous.
These people are from the acrobatic team, and they are clearly the four protectors of the third senior brother. When they infiltrated King Chen's Mansion, they simply came for themselves, but didn't the third senior brother end the retreat until the end of the year? The four protectors are here, where are the three senior brothers? Are you hiding in the shadows and watching yourself?
Looking at the rather interesting juggling below, Jing Rong nodded with satisfaction, feeling that this kind of performance was much stronger than Yingge Yan Dance, no wonder Mu Xuefu was not in high interest before, and she was drowsy. He wanted to wake her up to watch the show, but he saw that she was not only awake, but also fidgeting. Jing Rong reached out and patted the back of her hand.
Mu Xuefu was like waking up from a dream, she quickly pulled out her hand, looked around, and then turned her gaze to him, pulled out a trace of embarrassing smile, and said, "The prince scared the concubine." ”
Jing Rong's thick eyebrows moved slightly, took back his hand, and said, "What's wrong with Concubine Ai?" ”
Mu Xuefu settled down, smiled decently, and said, "The concubine fell asleep just now, had a nightmare, and before she could relieve herself, she was startled by the prince. ”
There is no doubt that there is him, his eyebrows and eyes are stretched, Jing Rong glanced at the sky, and the sound and color of Yurun were like spring water, and said: "It's late at night, let's disperse." As soon as the words fell, he got up and helped Mu Xuefu on the side, "This king will send you back." ”
Zhou Cheng saw that the prince was leaving, and hurriedly waved his hand to let the performers stop and retreat outside. It's just that a few people looked at Mu Xuefu before going out.
"Lord Wang-" Hua Mei'er saw that the prince was leaving, and hurriedly stopped, and the hot gaze containing spring water locked on him tightly, "Today is the birthday of the concubine, and the prince promised the concubine to go to the concubine today." ”
Although Jing Rong was there with Hua Meier today, her mind was not there at all, and she didn't remember what she promised. A hint of impatience appeared on his face, and he said, "The princess is pregnant, don't you know how to be considerate?" ”
Using her as a shield again, Mu Xuefu glanced at Hua Mei'er, who was glaring at her angrily, raised her eyebrows upward, arrogant and contemptuous, and said: "Concubine Hua should have rested early after a hard day, this princess is really uncomfortable today, and she needs the princess to accompany her." Anyway, you can still live next year, and then let the prince accompany you. ”
Hua Meier bit her lower lip gently, staring at the scenery with wonderful eyes, with four points of love, three points of infatuation and two points of grievance, this delicate and delicate appearance, almost all men will be reluctant to cry when they see her.
It's just that Jing Rong is not a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, he can't wait to add fuel to the fire, so that the relationship between her and Mu Xuefu will become more and more intense. He directly hugged Mu Xuefu's waist, glanced at her impatiently, and said coldly: "Hua, didn't you understand the princess's words?" Are you important or the princess important, don't you count it in your heart? ”
Hua Mei'er's spirit was shocked, the mist in her eyes blocked her vision, and Mu Xuefu's face became blurry, but at the same time, it also covered the edge of resentment, her eyes pierced Mu Xuefu's stomach like a sharp needle, her eyelashes trembled, and tears fell. She blessed her body softly, and said: "It's because the concubine is not thoughtful, and now nothing important is as important as the princess's belly, and it is natural for the prince to accompany the princess." ”
"Generally speaking, the princess's pregnancy is the top priority of our palace, and you must not make things wantonly. If you disturb the princess, don't blame the king for being polite. Jing Rong glanced at her, and then at everyone, with an unbelievable tone.
"Yes, the concubine strictly obeys the teachings of the prince, and she will never dare to disturb the princess." Everyone hurriedly saluted and said in unison.
Jing Rong retracted his gaze, hugged Mu Xuefu and walked out of the main courtyard. The woman who left a room you look at me, I look at you, and finally cast a mocking gaze on Hua Mei'er, whose face was blue.
Hua Mei'er glared at the person who was laughing at her fiercely, snorted coldly, and said, "Such a baby, it is not certain whether this can be born or not." After speaking, he shook down his wide sleeves vigorously, and just as the wine jug on the table fell to the ground, shattering into pieces, and the white jade fragments were like hideous faces shattered on the bright red carpet. Hua Mei'er didn't even look at it, raised her round chin, looked at everyone with her toes high, and Shi Shiran walked out.
"The prince will really pull hatred for the concubine, and with the temperament of the concubine, I'm afraid the prince will soon get what he wants." Walking on the way back to the East Courtyard, Mu Xuefu's eyes fell on the winding smooth cobblestone path, faintly shining in the bright moonlight. She turned her gaze and calmly bumped into Jing Rong's deep water-like eyes, her eyes circling twice around his face, and then she smiled brightly, with a playful tone.
Jing Rong frowned slightly, stunned, and said in a distant tone: "This is all thanks to the cooperation of the princess." ”
The two people have been separated when they are out of the sight of others, and there is a distance between the two people when they walk, how can they be so close in front of everyone in the main courtyard.
"It's not a good match, it's just that the concubine also hates her." Mu Xuefu shifted her gaze to the fragrant osmanthus trees on both sides of the road, and there were petals falling down. She reached out to catch it, sniffed it, her nose was silenced, her brows furrowed, and she threw it aside with a disgusted expression, and muttered, "I still don't like the smell of this osmanthus." ”
Jing Rong casually glanced at the petals she threw on the ground, and said: "The competition between the princes is getting more and more fierce, and this king just wants to protect himself and the palace of King Chen." Since you are married to this king, this king will naturally protect you. ”
Mu Xuefu stopped, stared at him for a moment, smiled, and said: "Follow your father at home, marry your husband, and understand this kind of truth." ”
Jing Rong gently covered the broken hair on her forehead behind her ears, and said, "It's windy, stand outside for a long time and beware of catching a cold, let's go back." ”
When he arrived at the gate of the East Courtyard, Mu Xuefu suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at him, and said, "It's late, the prince will have an early court tomorrow, so let's go back and rest early." ”
Jing Rong's expression froze, and he said, "Okay, you can rest early." ”
"Congratulations to the prince." Mu Xuefu blessed her body and said respectfully.
Jing Rong frowned, helped her up, and said, "Xuefu, do you always want to deliberately alienate this king like this?" ”
"The prince is too worried, this is the etiquette that concubines should do."
Jing Rong sighed secretly, pulled Mu Xuefu over, and said, "You don't have to salute when you see this king in the future, you are a princess, different from others." ”
