Chapter 22: The Essence Emerges
Min Qing's soft eyes flickered, and then she casually lifted the wine jug on the table and personally poured a full glass of wine and handed it to Situ Yue, but there was an incomparable confident smile on her face.
"It's too early for the prince to say this, when the prince really knows Rou'er, he won't think like this anymore!"
"Oh, what kind of person is Rou'er?" Situ Yue took the wine glass, and his fingers accidentally touched Min Qingrou's fingers.
In an instant, different feelings passed into the hearts of the two.
Situ Yue's feeling is: warmth.
But Min Qingrou's feeling was: cold.
The two looked up at each other at the same time, and an inexplicable spark stirred up, flowing quickly between the two.
At this moment, I only heard a bang in the piano room, and the strings of the banana leaf piano in Concubine Yun's hand were broken!
Concubine Yun was startled, hurriedly walked out of the piano room, knelt in front of Situ Yue, and said with a frightened face: "The prince forgives the sin!
"What's wrong with Concubine Yun today? In the past, this jade string was your best tune, why did you play it until the string broke today?"
Situ Yue looked at Concubine Yun, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.
"Sister Yunfei, don't you dislike your sister's clumsy mouth and don't want to teach, right?"
Without waiting for Concubine Yun to explain, Min Qingrou immediately took over the conversation, bit her lip lightly, and said with a look of grievance.
In fact, Min Qingrou had long known that Concubine Yun had no intention of stroking the piano at all, and it was only a matter of time before the sound broke and the strings were broken.
She deliberately made the appearance of kissing me and me with Situ Yue, in order to make Concubine Yunfang feel confused and couldn't talk about it. Playing this jade string Qingyin needs to be calm, Yun Fangfei is impetuous at this time, and a clean sound is played in a mess, and it is strange to keep stringing!
"Concubine Rou!How could I do that?You think too much!
"All right, now that the string is broken, then you can step aside!"
Situ Yue interrupted Concubine Yun's defense and waved his hand impatiently.
"Yes, the concubine is retired!"
Concubine Yun didn't dare to disobey Situ Yue, even if she was unwilling, she had to let the maid hug the broken string piano and leave with resentment.
Looking at Concubine Yun's appearance of trying to suppress her anger and not daring to vent, Min Qingrou smiled coldly.
These two people want to belittle her, and now they are reaping the consequences. She has died once, and she will never let anyone have a chance to bully her again!
Situ Yue looked at the woman in front of him with an indifferent expression and a faint hint of coldness, which was really different from the submissive appearance when he came just now.
However, he is not surprised, in order to get favor in his mansion, he plays tricks, and there are many cases of stabbing knives in front of people in the back, and he is not inferior to Min Qingrou.
He's just a little annoyed, a little tired. If his 'noble star' is also this kind of fashionable, it really disappoints him to the extreme.
It must be a little different, right? Just like the little stubbornness she occasionally revealed on the day she went to bed, it felt so familiar to him, and that familiar feeling made him miss it so much......
"What is the prince thinking?"
Min Qingrou turned around and saw Situ Yue staring at her blankly, his eyes full of loneliness.
Hearing Min Qingrou's question, Situ Yue immediately came back to his senses, with a little embarrassment on his face, and said in a cold voice: "You can also go back!"
"Rou'er is here to serve the prince for dinner, but the prince hasn't eaten a grain of rice, how can Rou'er go?"
Min Qingrou saw that Situ Yue was rushing people, not only did she not leave, but calmly sat opposite Situ Yue.
Situ Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, and he swept over Min Qingrou unkindly. "Didn't you hear?
How dare this woman disobey his wishes? Do you really think that you can be pampered?
The concubine heard it, and it heard it clearly. ”
Min Qingrou replied unhurriedly, picked up the chopsticks and small plates, and said while putting vegetables into the plates: "The prince just said that he likes disobedient women to stay by his side to ensure freshness, isn't the concubine obeying the prince's orders to be a disobedient woman? Whether the prince wants to be obedient or disobedient, Rou'er has done it! So what reason does the prince have to drive Rou'er away?"
"You ......"
Min Qingrou's explanation made Situ Yue speechless, he didn't know that this weak-looking woman was so sharp-toothed!
"It seems that I underestimated you!" Situ glared at her fiercely.
He was speechless when few people could ask, if this woman's intelligence and cleverness were willing to be used on the right path, she would really be a rare talent! It's just that she is working on the man she wants to rely on, and for his great cause, these little tricks of hers are useless at all!
"Thank you for the compliment!"
The corners of Min Qingrou's mouth curved into a tempting arc, and she gently placed the small plate in her hand in front of Situ Yue, and said softly: "The prince is so favored that Rou'er is really flattered!
"What are you holding here?"
In the face of Min Qingrou's tricky response, Situ Yue snorted coldly, and just as he was about to raise his chopsticks to eat, he found that the dishes stacked on the plate were not his usual favorite dishes at all.
"Stir-fried pork liver, minced meat and tofu, autumn pear egg custard, these are very good for the prince's deficiency and cold! Come, prince, eat more!"
Min Qingrou took care of her passionately, and the gentleness and thoughtfulness on her face were just right.
"This king is not sick! you don't need to worry about this king!" Situ Yue snorted coldly and pushed away the dishes she had brought over, but his eyes fell on the plate of spring rolls on the edge of the table.
Min Qingrou quickly picked up the plate of bean paste spring rolls, moved a long way, and then said seriously: "Lord, in ancient times, there was a Cai Huan Gong who was afraid of illness and avoided medical treatment, and ended up in a terminal illness with no cure, the prince is so wise, but he can't listen to the advice of the concubine, does the prince also want to follow in the footsteps of Cai Huangong?"
"You don't blame you for comparing this king to Cai Huangong and this king, but you don't think you're exalting yourself too much compared to Bian Que?
In fact, Situ Yue was already a little interested in Min Qingrou, but what made him unhappy was that she shouldn't make a fuss about his deficiency and coldness.
His eyelids drooped slightly, and he would never allow others to blaspheme anyone who had anything to do with her!
"Isn't what the prince needs is a bold and careful person? If the concubine is as timid as a mouse, how can she serve the prince?"
Min Qingrou smiled coquettishly, picked up the plate of bean paste spring rolls with her bare hands, and personally held it in front of Situ Yue, "Lord, the spring rolls can be returned to you, but you also have to eat the dishes brought by the concubine!
After speaking, she personally picked up a spring roll and sent it to Situ Yue's lips, and her eyes were full of brilliance.
Situ Yue looked at her for a while, and finally opened his mouth to eat the food she brought to his mouth.
Min Qingrou showed a shallow smile on her face, put down the spring rolls, and took another piece of pork liver to his mouth, and he did not refuse.
"Don't worry, Rou'er is obedient and smart, if the prince has anything on his mind in the future, just tell Rou'er! If Rou'er can help, she will definitely do her best to share her worries and relieve the prince!"
Min Qingrou continued to pick up the vegetables into Situ Yue's mouth one by one, serving her wholeheartedly while not forgetting to reveal her heart. She just wanted Situ Yue to know that she was looking forward to his grace.
"Enough. ”
Situ Yue suddenly spoke, turning his head sideways to avoid the food she continued to deliver.
"You eat so little, no wonder you've lost so much weight!" Min Qingrou blurted out, but suddenly realized what she had said!
Feeling Situ Yue's scrutinizing gaze shooting over, she hurriedly put down the soup bowl in her hand, covered her mouth and chuckled: "The amount of food the prince is so small, it can be comparable to the concubine's body! Our women's family eats less to maintain a slim figure, what is the prince's plan? No matter! This bowl of soup must be eaten by the prince, come, Rou'er feeds you!"
Anyway, regardless of Situ Yue's furrowed brows, he picked up the bowl of autumn pear egg custard again, scooped up a spoonful and stuffed it into his mouth.
As soon as Situ Yue wanted to speak, he was blocked by Min Qingrou's mouthful of egg custard. It wasn't until a bowl of soup bottomed out that he couldn't help but cough.
"Ahem, you want to choke me to death?" Situ Yue swallowed the soup in his mouth a little embarrassed.
Min Qingrou hurriedly took out the champa she was carrying and wiped the soup stains on the corner of his mouth, and her eyes flashed with a narrow light: "Look, the prince is wise and martial, what is a small bowl of soup? Even if there are two more bowls, you can still drink it!"
"You!" Situ Yue glared at Min Qingrou fiercely, and there was wind and rain in his eyes ready to go. How dare this woman tease him?
"Lord, if you want to be punished, you can be punished! But the concubine body is all for your good! When you are healthy, the concubine body can be happy! Even if you are unhappy, the concubine body will continue to do this! If the prince feels that the concubine body has disobeyed you, the concubine body is willing to accept the punishment!"
Before Situ Yue could attack, Min Qingrou had already put down the soup bowl, squatted down and automatically confessed his guilt.
Situ Yue looked at the soup bowls on the table, as well as the dishes that had moved a little, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Looks like he really used a lot of food today. In the past, he used to eat at most one or two dishes and move a few bites, no matter how many dishes, they were all withdrawn as they were, but today she unknowingly added the amount of food without knowing it?
This woman really has some skills. At least so far, no woman has dared to 'serve' him like this! Such a woman, it doesn't matter if she is spoiled!
"Lord Wang......" Min Qingrou raised her little face, and called aggrievedly, and for a moment she seemed to be back to the weak little woman just now.
"Hmph, if I punish you for this, it will make people think that this king is unreasonable. Rise up!"
Situ Yue finally raised his hand and spared her.
Min Qingrou immediately got up with a happy face, and said while the iron was hot: "Then the prince, can the concubine come over to dine with you from time to time in the future?"
Seeing Situ Yue's brows frowning slightly, Min Qingrou hurriedly said: "Although the prince listened to the concubine's words today, I am afraid that the concubine will not be by his side in the future, and the prince will start to be casual again, and the concubine is not at ease!
Min Qingrou approached Situ Yue, with a slight flush on her face, and gently pulled Situ Yue's sleeve and shook it.
"If you really want to come, come!"
Situ Yue glanced at the little woman in front of him, but saw that her cheeks were slightly red, her eyes were flowing, and she looked forward to Yanran, and she was indescribably beautiful. Especially her charming and coquettish demeanor at the moment, even he who has always been like a stagnant water can't help but move slightly in his heart.
This woman is really beautiful, but why hasn't she noticed it before?
Situ Yue thought about it, and he vaguely remembered this woman. When he was first elected to the mansion, he looked cowardly, and his appearance was the same, but he was not as smart as he is now.
For some reason, she woke up from drowning and seemed to be very different from before, like a soulless doll suddenly infused with a soul.
Situ Yue frowned, feeling that what he was thinking was nonsense.
Ever since he had listened to Fang Zheng's prophecy, he felt more and more convinced of these things that he had originally scoffed at.
Build the foundation of Biyue Wu.
This woman came to build a foundation for him. The base is the root. And his most fundamental thing is, of course, his body. Her concern for his physical condition was exactly in line with Fang Zheng's prophecy.
In the past two years, his diet has deteriorated, and Thyme and the other concubines around him have thought of a lot of ways, but they can't improve it. Maybe this woman can really help him?
He's looking forward to it.
