456.Chapter 456 Mei Niang's Fight for Favor and Provocation
Bypassing the corridor in front of me, as soon as I turned my head, I saw a few maids standing there, with a displeased look on their faces, and opposite them was the dancing girl Meiniang, who said arrogantly to those maids: "Did you hear it, I was given to Lord Qincha by Lord Li, and it is different from you, so don't block my way!" β
When one of the maids heard this, he immediately said, "What do you mean by that?" β
"In that sense, don't you understand people?" She sneered, looked at them, and said disdainfully: "I thought that the people around Lord Qincha could be a little smarter, but it turned out that they were all like this, hum!" β
The faces of those few immediately became ugly, and they scolded, "What did you say?!" β
The maid who accompanied me seemed to have just been angry, and her face showed an angry look, but in front of me, it was not easy to scold her, so she only said secretly: "Mei Xiang worships the handle, they are all slaves." Look at her crazy way she looks! β
I looked back at her, then at the eyebrow, and then walked over slowly, and asked, "What's the matter?" β
When the maids saw me, they hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Madam." β
"Hmm." I nodded, motioned for them all to get up, and turned to the eyebrow girl, who was also looking at me, wearing a plain long dress, her long hair was tied in a bun at will, and an ordinary bead hairpin was inserted obliquely, and there was no other decoration, not even the makeup that swept the eyebrows, she looked me up and down, and snorted from her nose.
The maid who followed me immediately said, "Hey, don't salute when you see Madame!" β
"Huh, ma'am?" Mei Niang glanced at me, rolled her eyes, and said coldly: "The adults haven't even mentioned it to anyone, what lady?" β
My face darkened.
These people's eyes have been practiced in the oil pot, Yuan Yichu has never mentioned me in any public place, and when he got on the boat today, he didn't even look at me, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that I am not favored as a "lady", and even received a cold reception, so it is no wonder that she looks down on me.
However, I was only gloomy for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Since you don't know, do you want to ask your lord my identity?" β
Her face froze.
Although she didn't look down on me, she also knew that I was a lady after all, even if she was not favored, because of her identity, she didn't dare to make too much trouble in front of me, so she said lazily: "No need, madam, I just know." β
I still smiled: "Since you know that I am a lady, what should you do?" β
She looked at me unhappily, and saw that I was just smiling, and it was not easy to have a seizure, so she impatiently said to me: "Mei Niang has seen Madame." β
"Since you call me Madame, then I should take good care of you, the newcomer." As I spoke, I stepped forward and said, "What were you guys doing just now?" β
When the maid next to her heard this, she hurriedly said: "Madam, the lord passed the soup, and we sent it to the adult, but as soon as she came, she must rush over to deliver it, this is our business-"
Before she finished her words, Mei Niang had already rushed to say, "So what? I was given to the adults by Lord Li, just to serve the Lord Qincha, to do a little thing for the adults, and to share the worries of the adults, is it wrong? After speaking, she deliberately looked at me: "Does Madame think that Meiniang is also wrong to do this?" β
I looked at her thin skirt, bare/exposing a large area of snow-white skin on her collarbone, and the looming curves also looked very attractive/attractive.
It seems that she is moving faster than the nurse before.
I smiled and said, "It's not wrong, since you are an adult, doing things for adults and sharing worries for adults is also within your part." β
When the maids heard this, they hurriedly said, "Madameβ"
Mei Niang already smiled and said, "Did you hear it, this is what Madame said." Now that Madame has opened her mouth, then Mei Niang is-"
Before she finished her words, I already said: "However, to do things for adults, to share the worries of adults, it is not just this thing, there is a bigger thing, if you do it well, you will really share the worries of adults." β
She frowned like a spring willow: "What's the matter?" β
"The pearl of the adult's palm is still young, and I have to use a lot of diapers every day, but this time when I went back to Beijing, I forgot to bring the servant woman who washed the pulp, since you want to share the worries of the adults so much, go and wash the lady's diapers."
Mei Niang's face changed suddenly: "What did you say?" You want me to wash diapers?! β
My gaze froze: "Who are you talking to!" β
She was glared at by me, and her arrogance went down, and she said, "Madam, I-I'm a gift from Lord Li to Lord Qincha, I'm here to serve your lordship, I-"
"Yes, you were given to Lord Qincha by Lord Li, that is also the adult's person, if you call me Mrs., it should be under my control. You said that you want to share the worries of adults, so you should finish what I have explained, and then it is not too late to serve adults. β
"You-"
I didn't look at her anymore, turned around and instructed the maids: "Take her to the pulp washing, come out after washing, don't disturb the adults and Lord Yang to deal with official business, otherwise, the heavy responsibility will not be slack!" β
"Yes!"
The maids secretly rejoiced, and hurriedly pushed the Meiniang away.
I originally turned around and left, but after taking two steps, I felt that my body was weak for a while, probably because I was too exhausted just now, I stood in place and gasped, turned my head gently, looked at the resentful and unwilling look of the Meiniang, and the appearance of a few maids around snickering, standing alone in the dark cabin, standing quietly for a long time.
I suddenly felt very dazed, the strangeness around me, and myself, was more terrified than waking up from the chaos and suddenly realizing that I didn't remember anything.
What am I doing?
What the hell am I doing?
Is this my life, is this what I have always lived in the past, and I will continue to live now, life?
A hand slapped on my shoulder, I suddenly woke up and turned around, and saw Yang Yunhui standing behind me, looking at my face, he seemed to be taken aback, and said, "What's wrong with you?" β
"......" I looked at him speechless.
"What happened?"
"......" I opened my mouth, my voice slightly hoarse, "It's okay." Do you have something? β
He frowned, looked at the other side again, seemed to understand something, and said, "Your Excellency will hold a banquet on the boat tonight, let me ask you, will you go?" Aren't you feeling sick? β
My hand gently stroked the hair on my cheek, and then I felt the coldness of my cheeks, I thought about it and asked him, "Did the adults ask?" β
"It's not."
β¦β¦ My face is even more icey.
Yang Yunhui looked at my increasingly pale face, and seemed to feel something, and hesitated: "If Madame is not in good health, let's continue to rest, Xiaguan-"
"No need." I looked up at him and said, "You arrange it, I'll be there." β
Yang Yunhui looked at me with some surprise, but I just nodded and turned back to the cabin.
After a while, night fell, and the green hills on both sides of the river came with a long ape song, accompanied by the gurgling river under their feet, the night seemed more quiet, but on this big ship, it was brightly lit.
Lanterns have already been hung on the deck, and the candles in the lobby are flickering, reflecting the more beautiful night.
When I was helped into the lobby, Yuan Yichu was sitting on the first seat drinking, raised his eyes and glanced at me, as if he was also a little surprised, I bowed to him lightly, and didn't say anything else, and sat aside.
Tonight, I only swept Emei, not enough to hide the paleness of my face, but it was a little abrupt in such a lively environment, even Yang Yunhui noticed it, and couldn't help but glance at me several times, just when the maids came up to deliver wine, a long entourage came forward and said a word in Yuan Yichu's ear, he nodded.
The chief immediately stood up straight and said loudly, "Music, dance!" β
As soon as the words fell, a vocal music immediately sounded on the decks on both sides of the cabin, silk and bamboo, bells and drums rang out in unison, and the long music played on the ship, rippling with the river.
At the same time, a group of brightly dressed dancers came up from both sides of the deck, dancing to the music, colorful clothes flying, ribbons fluttering, adding a bit of tempting fat powder fragrance to the air, which made people dazzled and relaxed, and in the center of those dancers, a delicate figure danced enchantingly.
It's Mei Niang.
She was dressed in a colorful dress, her snow-white arms were bare/bare, as soft as a ribbon, and she conjured up countless beautiful shapes with the music, like a beautiful orchid, her slender waist swayed gently, like a willow in the wind, enchanting like a charming snake.
As soon as I saw her, I frowned.
She didn't even look at me, her hooked/soul-eyed eyes kept looking straight ahead.
I also turned my head slowly, and as she looked over, I saw that Yuan Yichu was still sitting firmly on it, holding a wine glass to his lips in his hand, but he didn't drink it, as if he was tasting the aroma of wine, and as if he was enjoying something, the thin corners of his lips were slightly raised, constituting a smile.
The music has reached a high tide, Mei Niang's dancing posture is becoming more and more seductive/soul-stirring, she actually danced to Yuan Yichu's side, with the dance music wrapped around him, snow-white fingertips, crimson ribbons, constantly brushing over the man's body.
My face was a little pale, and the fingers that were holding the wine glass were slightly strained, and the patterns on the wine glass burned into my skin.
At this moment, Mei Niang suddenly let out an "oops" and fell down suddenly.
Yuan Yichu stretched out his hand and took her in his arms.
The surroundings were suddenly shocked, and the music stopped abruptly, only to see Mei Niang take advantage of the situation and stick it into his arms, a piece of pink flew over her face, and said softly: "My lord, the slave is guilty." β
said so, but the movements in her hands were not like that at all.
The hands looked like they were about to struggle to get up, but they kept rubbing/rubbing in front of the man's chest, Yuan Yichu glanced down at her, and seemed to feel something, the two of them were entangled for a while, and then slowly let go, and Meiniang hurriedly knelt in front of him.
"What's going on?"
"My lord, it's all Mei Niang's fault, and I hope your lord will forgive me."
As I listened, my face slowly turned cold.
Yuan Yichu leaned over to help her up, but the hand that grabbed her wrist did not let go, and after a closer look, although the hands were as white as jade, the fingers and palms were red and swollen, and then looked carefully at her body, some naked/exposed places, there was also faint redness and swelling.
"Huh?" He frowned.
Mei Niang hurriedly retracted her hand and knelt down again: "My lord forgives my sin, it is Mei Niang who can't serve my lord well, and Mrs. is also to share my worries with my lord, so please blame Mei Niang alone." β
"Ma'am?"
Hearing these two words, Yuan Yichu's face shook a little, and he slowly turned his head and looked at me.
