Chapter 095: Daughter's Body
"Guest officer, the wine and food you wantβ" The voice of the second child of the Wangjianglou shop came from the door, with a hint of flattery.
Qingchen closed the window in the wing room and glanced at Juyu, who nodded, walked to the door, and opened the door: "Come in, just put the food on the table." β
While speaking, Zhan Yu immediately closed the door, cutting off the outside view, and just when the shopkeeper put away the wine and food, and turned around to leave, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck, and his eyes were dark, so he fell to the ground with a thud.
"Hold Yu, take off his clothes, you are here to guard him, I will come when I go. β
Qingchen said as he untied his plain white shirt, then took the clothes handed by the shopkeeper handed by Shake Yu, put them on his body in two or three, put on the shopkeeper's broken hat, and smeared a handful of ash on the ground on his face, and then took the tray and went out of the room.
The guards who were staring only saw the shopkeeper enter and come out, so he didn't have much suspicion, and continued to stand in place, staring at the room where Qingchen was eating.
And Mu Qingchen was wearing the clothes of the shopkeeper, walking through the Wangjiang Building with his head down, and when he arrived at the hall on the first floor, he only heard the shopkeeper shouting loudly:
"What about Xiaosi, I haven't come back after going to the toilet for so long? The private room on the third floor is still waiting for someone to serve wine!"
"Shopkeeper, let's bring the wine to the fourth child. Qingchen listened, and immediately stepped forward, and said in a low voice.
"Eh, okay, you go quickly, don't keep the guests waiting for a long time - His Royal Highness King Yi has a treat, we can't afford to be lazy. The shopkeeper immediately took two pots of good wine from the counter, put them on the tray in Mu Qingchen's hand, and said.
Mu Qingchen bowed over, carried two pots of wine, and went directly to the third floor.
There are only two private rooms on the third floor of Wangjiang Tower, one is called Tianxiangju, and the other is called Cuiye Pavilion.
Knock Knock Knock β
Qingchen stood outside the door, listening to a low conversation coming from inside, so he knocked on the door gently, but only heard Xiao Yi speak loudly inside: "Come in-"
Mu Qingchen didn't say a word, walked in with two jugs of wine, walked directly to Xiao Yi's side, put the wine on the table, and turned to leave.
"Little Er, wait. Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind him, and he spoke again, "Thank you for Prince Yi's hospitality today, and I am very grateful to you." Prince Keyi doesn't even have an errand boy by his side, so it's too unreasonable, why don't you let this little second person pour wine for you?"
"Prime Minister Yan is reasonable, we can't let Prince Yi, the host, pour wine for us personally. Then, a beautiful female voice spoke.
"That being the case, little two, come over and pour wine for all the adults. Xiao Yi didn't object, he said directly, and then called Qingchen over to pour wine.
"The little one obeys. Qingchen pinched his throat in response, walked to Xiao Yi's side, picked up the wine jug, and began to pour wine for the people present.
In addition to Mu Qingchen, there were a total of eight people in the room, five sitting at the table, and three standing behind to serve, counting from Xiao Yi's right hand, in turn, Nie Xinyao, the sixth princess of Southern Xinjiang, Nie Menghua, the lord of Menghua County, Lou Xiyu, the general of Tianxing Kingdom, and Yan Ruhai, the prime minister of Mobei. And the three standing are Nie Xinyao and Nie Menghua's maidservants, as well as Yan Ruhai's housekeeper.
Mu Qingchen turned from Xiao Yi's right hand side in turn, poured wine for everyone, and then returned to Xiao Yi's side and filled Xiao Yi's cup.
After doing all this, Qingchen retreated to Xiao Yi and stood, looking at the few people in front of him quietly, taking everyone's expressions into his eyes one by one.
Nie Xinyao is the most orthodox southern Xinjiang girl's family dress, her hair is not like the women of Ningyue and Tianxing combing a cumbersome bun, only a few small braids are combed on the sides of the temples, and the rest hang down naturally behind her, wearing a headdress full of feathers on her head, and even the earrings are in the shape of feathers. She wore a bright red floor-length dress, with only a belt around her waist, and the skirt was decorated with colorful bells, which rang crisply and pleasantly with her movements.
Nie Menghua is the dress of a Central Plains woman, a goose-yellow long skirt, an apricot yellow cardigan half-sleeved shirt, and a slightly simple flowing cloud bun like a Central Plains woman, with a crystal clear bead flower pasted on the bun, different from Nie Xinyao's flamboyant makeup, Nie Menghua only wears a little light makeup, which looks quite a bit of Central Plains woman's charm.
Lou Xiyu sat diagonally opposite Xiao Yi, looking up, he could see that he was still cold and indifferent, perhaps because he had been on the battlefield for a long time, and there was a sense of non-anger and authority between his eyebrows and eyes, but he couldn't hide the elegance on his body, but he also had a Confucian demeanor.
Moving his gaze slightly to the left, it was Xiao Yi's left-hand Mobei Prime Minister Yan Ruhai, who was not confused in his old age, and was the only elder among the envoys of the Three Kingdoms. There are a few wrinkles between the eyebrows and eyes, and there is a small mustache on the chin, no matter who he is looking at, his face is full of polite smiles, and his eyebrows are kind, so that people can't be wary at all.
With just one glance, Qingchen's heart already had a general understanding of these people, leaving aside the most familiar Lou Xiyu, the other three people are not good.
Yan Ruhai is in a high position as a prime minister, and he uses a smile as a cover, but he is actually shrewd; Nie Menghua knows how to follow the customs of the locals, and chooses to use restraint to avoid Nie Xinyao's edge, but it may not be a different way to attract attention; Nie Xinyao is so beautiful that she is touching, and she is drunk with a smile and a smile, but she has no intention of restraining herself at all, and she is high-profile, it is difficult to say that she is not trying to cover up.
In short, everyone wears a mask, and you come and go, depending on who is better and guesses the minds of others.
"Xiao Er, pour wine for General Lou-" Qingchen was in silence, but heard Xiao Yi speak again, pointing in the direction of Lou Xiyu, signaling her to come over.
"Although the wine in the Central Plains is mellow, it is not as strong as the wine in my Mobei, so you can only taste it, but you can't drink it. Yan Ruhai picked up the wine glass in his hand, took a sip, and said with a sigh.
"The wine in the Central Plains is also strong, and when I am free another day, this king will invite Lord Yan to drink again, and let Lord Yan taste the spirits of my Central Plains. Xiao Yi talked about fine wine, and seemed to have a lot of experience, so he talked to Yan Ruhai.
Qingchen listened to their conversation, lowered his head, walked to Lou Xiyu's side again, poured the wine, and planned to return to his position to stand up, but he didn't expect Nie Menghua's elbow to suddenly touch the wine glass, and with Nie Menghua's exclamation, Mu Qingchen bent down, and quickly caught the wine glass that was about to fall to the ground.
But at the same moment, the moment Mu Qingchen bent over, the hat on his head that was already inappropriate fell to the ground in an instant, like a waterfall green silk struggling out of the hat, pouring into a beautiful arc in the air, and then falling down and sticking to Mu Qingchen's back.
This scene came unexpectedly, Mu Qingchen held the wine jug in one hand, Nie Menghua's wine glass in the other, and the ash she wiped from the ground on his face, just like that, his hair was scattered, standing in front of everyone.
The mandarin duck held a long sword in her sleeve, not knowing that she was a daughter. Unexpectedly, not only was there a daughter's house dressed as a man on the battlefield, but there was also one in this restaurant. Yan Ruhai came back to his senses from the initial stunned, laughed and spoke, his tone full of banter.
Lou Xiyu looked at the woman beside her, her eyes fluctuated slightly, obviously she had recognized Mu Qingchen, opened her mouth, but looked at Xiao Yi again, and never said anything.
"I've heard a lot of stories about girls pretending to be men, some are for entering the academy, some are chasing lovers, but I don't know what this girl is for?"
"Sister Huang, don't make fun of other girls, the women of the Central Plains are different from our southern Xinjiang, and they are very thin-skinned. Only then did Nie Menghua speak, "But if this girl washes her face, she will also be a stunning beauty." β
Mu Qingchen listened to everyone's words, her mind turned back and forth, everything was in her design, according to her plan, it should be when Xiao Yi and they left, she also took the opportunity to leave, but she didn't expect that a sudden change made her identity exposed.
Although her face was plastered, she did not change her face, sooner or later she would still see these people at the palace banquet of the Queen Mother, if they only knew that she was Princess Yi at that time, I am afraid that her plan would be complicated. But if you explain your identity to them now, I am afraid that they will be suspicious in their hearts, and things will change again.
"Qingchen, you are messing around again, this king said before going out, today I have a small gathering with the envoys of various countries, not to find any little pink, but you want to follow. Xiao Yi got up at this time, walked in front of Mu Qingchen, and said this, his tone was full of helplessness.
Qingchen didn't react yet, but saw that Xiao Yi had already taken the wine jug and wine glass in her hand, put them on the table, stretched out his hand and gently wiped the ashes off her face, and the gentle movements were like a breeze, and anyone could feel the pampering in Xiao Yi's eyes.
After a while, the ash on Qingchen's face was wiped clean, and her original face was revealed, without any makeup on her delicate face, without makeup, and she was dusty, just like a fairy standing in the clouds, even though she was now wearing Xiao Er's tattered clothes.
"If you don't tell me clearly, how do I know if you went to some light smoke and willow to find some little peach, I naturally want to follow and take a look. Qingchen quickly understood Xiao Yi's intentions, and followed Xiao Yi's words.
"You...... Let the king say what is good. Xiao Yi chuckled and shook his head, took Mu Qingchen's hand, walked to his seat, and then spoke again, "She is the princess of this king, that is, Mu Qingchen, the jade hook princess of Tianxing Kingdom, she is young, she was spoiled by Emperor Cheng'an, and she is also so naughty in this king's mansion, and this king is helpless to take her." β
Xiao Yi's rhetoric was not leaky, and there was no half of an explanation, but everyone understood what was going on today. It's nothing more than that Princess Yi is worried that King Yi is looking for flowers and asking Liu, and she disguises herself to follow her husband, Xiao Yi is a well-known beauty lover in Ningyue Kingdom, and Mu Qingchen is a princess, and she is rude and willful, so no one will doubt the authenticity of this matter.
Lou Xiyu looked at the clasped hands of the two opposite, looked at Mu Qingchen's slightly coquettish tone towards Xiao Yi, and watched Xiao Yi dot on helping Qingchen wipe off the dirt on his face...... There was a slight gloom in his eyes, and a thousand words finally turned into one sentence:
"Wechen see the princess. β
