Chapter Forty-Eight: The Immortal in White
"That's good, as long as the master and servant are single-minded in everything, there is no hurdle that cannot be passed, but the slave and maid feel sorry for the master, how can a delicate flower like you survive in this courtyard. As soon as Xiao Cui thought of Mrs. Qin, and then thought about that Mrs. An, she couldn't help but feel sad from the bottom of her heart.
"Forget it, let's not be sad here, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, let's just kick them away as a stumbling block on the road to growth, do we still have to watch them trip and fall. Xu Yu'er smiled relievedly, and instead went to comfort Xiaocui.
The master and servant have one thing in common, that is, their hearts are bigger than the other, and the two of them will be for a while, and then they will naturally laugh and laugh, just like they said when they laughed at themselves, they are mosquitoes that can't be killed, and they will buzz as long as they still have a breath.
Since that day, Mo Xingchen has not shown up for five or six days, and the most puzzling thing is that An Xinran has not shown up, could it be that she smelled a trace of danger, so she reined in?
The weather entered May, the summer in Mexico came earlier, the lotus flowers in the pond bloomed early, and the courtyard was even more picturesque, but looking at the few people under the residual sun, I suddenly felt that this was just a poignant painting.
"Princess, the prince asked you to come over, and the prince is waiting for you in the living room. "A little guy trotted over to report.
"Okay, I know, you're really good enough to let me go, what's the matter?" Xu Nuo'er couldn't help but ask more.
"This, this little one doesn't know, but the little one saw Lord Rui and the university scholar drinking tea there. The little guy paused and added kindly.
They have great respect for this princess who looks like a fairy and does not put on a show at all.
"Okay, you go back first, I'll prepare, and I'll come. Xu Nuo'er nodded in response.
She had to clean up, after all, there were guests, and she had to dress up out of politeness, for the sake of the face of the Blessed Palace.
Xu Yue'er instructed Xiaocui to paint her a light makeup, and changed into a plain moon-white dress, and then took Xiaocui to the living room in the main courtyard.
When she stepped into the threshold of the living room, she suddenly felt a thousand rays of light cast by several pairs of eyes, and if she hadn't seen everything, she would have been a little stressed.
"Lord Wang, Nuo'er is late, I don't know that there are distinguished guests, it's really rude. Xu Yu'er didn't squint, and walked directly in front of Mo Xingchen with a smile.
This scene just now looks like a loving couple to outsiders, but they know very well in their hearts that although the relationship between the two is not tense, it is not good to that extent.
"This is my brother and sister, right? Sure enough, what I heard is not as good as I saw it, it is really the posture of an immortal outside the sky!" one of the men, dressed in a purple robe, praised without hesitation.
"Is this? You praise it, Nuo'er is just a mortal. Xu Yu'er smiled, her words and demeanor were elegant and moderate, and the other two couldn't help but be even more impressed.
"I said how did this blessed king hide his princess so deeply, it turns out that the princess is so beautiful, this is the golden house hidden Jiao!" The elegant bachelor in a white shirt on the side opened his mouth lightly, and it could be seen that he was not afraid of Mo Xingchen at all, but dared to make fun of him openly.
"That is, the princess of this king naturally has to hide well, otherwise it will be a big loss if she is coveted by the villain. Mo Xingchen said lukewarmly.
Xu Nuo'er stood there and listened to the three big men, taking her as the object of ridicule, and you suddenly felt indignant in your heart.
However, she still had a polite smile on her face, and she should look at the monkey, could it be that the monkey scratched her, and she still had to scratch the monkey back?
"Come, concubine, sit beside this king. Mo Xingchen suddenly said this.
Xu Yu'er suddenly felt incompetent to accept it, and she still loved the concubine? She really wanted to explain, can this concubine be explained as love, she wants to go away.
Looking at the man in front of her who could act better than her, she suddenly felt that one head and two were bigger, and she really couldn't slack off in the face of such an opponent, otherwise she wouldn't know how she died if she didn't die.
Xu Nuo'er nodded, and sat beside Mo Xingchen generously. The eyes of the two men on the other side never took their eyes off Xu Yu'er.
The eyes of the two were envious, jealous, and more inquiring. With a man's intuition, they sensed that the relationship between Prince Fu and the princess should be similar to the rumors outside, and they were not so affectionate and harmonious.
Especially Xu Yue'er's respect for Mo Xingchen was not enough, they spied with interest, not afraid of Mo Xingchen's face.
After a while, the wine and food were put on the table, everyone sat down around the table, Xu Yu'er naturally sat next to Mo Xingchen, daring to let her accompany her, she couldn't understand now, whether she was his princess, his maid, or who he was?
"I don't know how much the princess drinks? King Fu is really stingy enough, he didn't let us come over to see his brother and sister after the wedding for so long. The man in the purple robe joked with a cheap face, not caring at all about Mo Xingchen's handsome face, which had been slightly darkened.
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!" Mo Xingchen said unceremoniously with a cold face.
"Look, you're here again, this brother and sister are here, and you don't save us some face, so we're also your brother, aren't we just a few days older than you, you should at least respect us, right?" The purple-robed man didn't forget to discharge his peach blossom eyes.
"Pull us down, he never treated us as brothers, but as bears. The white-clothed Confucian smiled faintly and made a cold joke.
"As soon as I see that the two brothers are not outsiders, King Fu is only informalistic to the people he is familiar with, and only you don't blame him at all, I really envy the sincerity of the three of you, and you should be like this if you have friends!" Xu Yu'er hurriedly opened his mouth and laughed and played a round game, and naturally spoke for Mo Xingchen.
"Look at it, look at it, look at your younger siblings who can talk more, you look at you, you can't study hard with your younger siblings, this boss is not small, as soon as he opens his mouth, he rejects people thousands of miles away, and there is really no way to take you. The purple-robed man smiled and pointed at Mo Xingchen for a moment of criticism and education.
"By the way, I forgot to introduce you, just now the two of them messed up, causing this king to forget to introduce you to the princess, this is King Rui here, and the elegant man over there, don't be fooled by his appearance, although he is a scholar, but it seems that he is a little unlearned. Mo Xingchen pointed to King Rui, and then pointed to Master Fan, and introduced very impatiently.
"I've admired the two big names for a long time, it's really a pleasure to be able to meet today!" Xu Yu'er stood up and bowed, and the salute was thoughtful, and no one could find the slightest inappropriateness.
"Brother and sister don't have to be so polite, we are not outsiders, you can also see how casual Xingchen's attitude towards us is, haha! In the future, you can treat us as friends or brothers. King Rui smiled heartily.
"Thank you, two brothers, you are the brother of King Fu, naturally you are Nuo'er's brother, and Nuo'er is so happy to know your two excellent brothers. Xu Nuo'er smiled and complimented, and his words did not leak.
"The princess is really a smart person, and she always takes into account Xingchen's feelings when she speaks, why is it impossible for us to make Nuo'er friends without Xingchen's relationship?" King Rui raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly.
"Where did King Rui say, if it weren't for the relationship between King Fu, how could two people like these two be so high up and know a little person like Nuo'er. Xu Nuo'er smiled and dealt with it easily, but she always reminded herself that she was the concubine of King Fu, and she must not let people find fault with her words.
Xu Yu'er smiled flatteringly, she lowered her status and raised Mo Xingchen's status, on the surface, she gave Mo Xingchen enough face, but in fact, she was extremely clear about the boundary between herself and them. She is just a woman, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with their royal relatives, relatives, dignitaries, and nobles. Although her father has a prominent position in the government and the opposition, she has no good impression of those powerful ministers, and she has always adhered to the pure land of her soul and does not want to be desecrated by anyone.
"Hey, my brother and sister will see each other when they say this, and we don't distinguish each other when we drink Xingchen, so I hope that my brother and sister will not see each other when they see us in the future. Bachelor Fan arched his hand, and the text was authentic.
Xu Nuo'er smiled, "That's natural, since it's a friend of the prince, that's my Nuo'er's friend, in order to see the two distinguished guests today, Nuo'er took it upon herself to give the two of you a glass, hoping that the friendship between the two and the prince will last forever." ”
Xu Yu'er picked up the wine glass with her green jade fingers, and persuaded the wine with a smile, isn't her duty to accompany the wine today? She has to abide by her duty, otherwise a certain god asked her to do something, she has self-knowledge that someone can't just introduce her to two friends, she doesn't have such a pivotal position.
"Okay, since my brother and sister have spoken, then we will drink it all, brother and sister, you can taste it at will. "Bachelor Fan is empathetic and authentic.
I don't know why, when he saw Xu Nuo'er for the first time, he felt that a fairy-like person like Xu Nuo'er was high and no one could blaspheme. So it naturally awakened his most primitive desire to protect beautiful women.
"Thank you for your care, Nuo'er still has to drink this first glass of wine, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the two brothers, and there is no reason to shirk it. Xu Nuo'er said with a serious face.
Although her amount of alcohol is not good, she can't be pushed away at the first glass, and she can't be looked down upon, and when it comes to etiquette, Xu Er is trying to abide by it, because at this moment she represents the Fuwang Mansion.
"Okay, as soon as you look at the wine of your brother and sister, you know that the character must not be there, we are all refreshing people, and dealing with refreshing people is happy. Lord Rui smiled, very heartily.
For a while, the cup was changed, and the three of them occasionally talked about gossip in the court, Xu Nuo'er acted as if he hadn't heard it, didn't say much, and only listened with a smile on his face, and the two admired Xu Nuo'er's bearing even more.
"Let's make a drinking order, let my younger siblings make a comparison, how about drinking if anyone loses?" said King Rui with an interested face.
"Okay, that's it, in the past, we were all the third loser in the drinking order, and today my brother and sister are here, see if he can run it from time to time. "Bachelor Fan should be in harmony.
"The two brothers are pushing me to the cusp, in case the prince plays abnormally, it is not Nuo'er's fault, so the prince, you have to play beyond the norm if you say anything today, otherwise Nuo'er will have to play by herself and sacrifice her life to accompany the gentleman. Xu Nuo'er seemed to be a joke, but he expressed his dissatisfaction and disdain vividly.
