Chapter 162 Changsun Mingjing

Although the owner only lived in when he returned to Chang'an, Chen Xiu took good care of it. There was no depression in the palace of the king of Qi. The vegetation was lush, and the corridor was refreshing. Two cypress trees were planted in front of the main hall of the backyard, and the crowns were covered. At this time, the branches and leaves were lush, covering the vicinity.

There are colorful bamboo curtains hanging on the corridor in front of the hall. After splitting Xiangfei bamboo as thin as silk thread, they are polished smoothly one by one. Finally, they are woven into mats. After hanging up, they are cool and breathable and can shade the sun. There is no need to burn incense. There is a fragrance of bamboo and wood around.

Stepping on the cloister and entering the door of the main hall, there is a walnut wooden low couch in the middle of the Mingtang. There are several rows of timely fruits above the couch. After that, there is a four-fold begonia spring sleeping inlaid mica screen, and below are several low beds for guests. Now they are naturally empty.

Princes eldest grandson Mingjing leaned lazily in front of the screen and stretched out her hand to pick up the newly picked plums from the fruit plate in front of her and concentrate on eating. Because she did not plan to go out and meet guests today, her makeup was much lighter than when she hosted the banquet in Penglai Hall. She patted the light cyan rouge on her cheeks for peach blossom makeup, with a charming flower slave on her lips and a cloud on her head. In the middle of the bun, a peacock opened the screen with jade beads and many treasure cuppins. A hanging of three hanging gems in the mouth of the red gold peacock fell to the center of the eyebrows, covering the yellow flowers on the forehead. The three thumb-sized pearls at the bottom and the string of southern beads on the neck reflect each other.

The princess is wearing a purple wide-sleeved summer shirt, which is lined with a tulip skirt. The bright yellow is particularly eye-catching under the slightly purple summer shirt. The unique smell of tulip gold is mixed with the fragrance of bamboo. The skirt is embroidered with half-open and half-closed flowers, and the lowerju is embroidered with auspicious clouds. When she picked up the plum, her wide sleeves faded slightly, revealing a pair of gold-inlaid gemstone animal mouth bracelets on her wrist. Her jade fingers were slender, and the phoenix flower juice seemed to be stained with blood.

She is not the only one in the room. Seven or eight maids in colored clothes served nearby with light makeup. Two younger maids, one held a fan made of peacock tail feathers in both hands to relieve the wind for her, and the other knelt beside her and pounded her legs seriously with pink fists.

In addition to the sound of the shaking of the peacock fan, in this large room, only the hairpin on her brother Shuyao, who was occasionally brought up by the fan, made a crisp sound - her clothes today are very simple, dressed in a lotus-colored summer shirt, and underneath are a green skirt often worn by women in the world, with a blue silk ribbon around her waist and a bun tied in a bun. The two-step swing hairpin is just an ordinary four-disc inlaid silver hairpin, and the other hairpin is a pink silk flower. A pair of gold bracelets on the arm are not decorated, and the makeup is also lighter than Feixia makeup, which shows the deep cheeks, but even if the eyes are lowered, the whole person still reveals softness - after all the left The person who came out of the workshop was the first person under Luo Baonu of the dance department.

Brother Shuyao's knees and hold the tea bowl with her hands high. The originally steaming tea has now been slightly cooled by the ice basin in the room, while Brother Shuyao's hand has long been sore, but she still insists on holding it.

Although it was given by Fengchun, it was only given as a danceji. No matter how the King of Qi in Penglai Hall was addicted to her beauty on the day of Princess Jiacheng's birthday, if Princess Qi refuses to drink this bowl of tea today, Brother Shuyao's name is not right. Even if something comes out in the future, she may not be qualified to be surnamed Li.

Changsun Mingjing looked at ease, but the corners of her eyes caught a glimpse of Ge Shuyao's arms trembling slightly. She felt that it was almost done. If she dragged on, it didn't matter if she overturned the tea, but she had to wait for another cup of tea. She didn't have this patience. At this time, she was drying Geshu, and she already felt that her heart Annoyed, so he stopped the hand of taking plum, motioned the maid behind him to bring a veil, wiped his fingers, and gently kicked the little maid who beat her legs. The little maid immediately came to the side obediently.

"Became the tea." Changsun Mingjing sat upright, raised his head and said softly. Then the little maid who retreated from pounding her legs immediately took a step towards Brother Shuyao, took the tea with both hands and held it in front of Changsun Mingjing. The latter took a symbolic bite and raised her hand. A maid next to her walked behind the screen and soon held out a paint plate with a few pieces of cloth and some cupring jewelry, and handed it with a smile. When he came to Brother Shuyao, he said, "Mrs. Shu, this is a reward from the princess."

This made the woman deliberately bite the words, but Brother Shuyao had no time to pay attention to it. She was greatly relieved and at least passed this. Don't look at the day when the king of Qi looked at her in the palace. He went back to the palace and was closed by the princess of Qi and made a scene. He didn't even dare to come here today... When Brother Shuyao was kneeling here, it was already clear that if she wanted to live a better life in the future, she must first please the princess.

Changsun Mingjing looked at her with a slightly humble look in respect, and his heart dissipated slightly. He smiled faintly and said, "Does Mrs. Shu think I'm late to pick up the tea?"

"I dare not. It's not the right time for me to come. I disturbed the princess to taste plums." Seeing that she did not send herself down immediately, Brother Shuyao said that she did not dare to neglect her and said quickly.

"You only served the king yesterday. Why is it not the right time to come and serve tea for me today?" Changsun Mingjing smiled faintly, "It's the right time, but... this tea is not right!"

Seeing that Brother Shuyao's mother showed a thoughtful look, Changsun Mingjing looked at the maid who had just presented the gift to Brother Shu. The maid was considerate and said in a clear voice, "Now it is a hot summer day and the heat is steaming. There is an ice basin in our inner room, and the princess is better. The wife came on time to follow the rules, but she should not return it at this time. If you want to toast the hot tea, how can the princess eat it? Naturally, I can only take a sip until the tea is cold, which is also to give my wife's face. If I do such a stupid thing, I will go to the housekeeper to be punished!"

"...My concubine knows her mistake, please punish me!" Shuyao's mother listened and lowered her head without hesitation. Changsun Mingjing was not interested in this concubine who was forced in by Fengchun and looked well-behaved. Seeing her acquaintance, she smiled and ordered her to retreat.

When Brother Shu Yaoniang left a little, Changsun Mingjing snorted coldly and asked the people beside him, "Did Chen Xiu go to the palace again today?"

"When I returned to the princess, I heard from people in the outer court that the king only found a pair of jade in the West City yesterday. Because it was a pair of mandarin ducks, he sent him to the palace." The maid reported on the side.

Changsun Mingjing sneered and said, "Tomorrow is the period of your decline. Let's not talk about how you have a rare pair of jade. At this time, the things given to your master in the palace have been packed up for a long time. Do you want to rush to send them in? Do you want to open boxes in the Hanbing Hall to make room and make room for them in? I don't know what this brother and sister means!"

"Don't be angry. I don't think Chen Xiu has gone back in vain. Your master is busy getting married tomorrow. Besides, Chen Xiu has made no progress. It's just to tell him!" The maid quickly persuaded him.

"My sister-in-law will fall tomorrow, and my sister-in-law won't say anything. Anyway, I drank the tea of the dance tricks..." Changsun Mingjing smiled strangely, "For the sake of not being able to live long, there are many concubines in this house, and I will recognize it first!"

The maid was shocked and saw that there were all the confidants of Princess Qi, so she whispered, "Why did the princess say this? Is that..."

"Do you think this dance trick was given by the saint for nothing?" Changsun Mingjing sneered and said, "How can an illegitimate son who can't even be crowned with the surname Li be compared with the royal reputation? The saint gave compensation to the king first! If it hadn't been for your decline tomorrow, Meng Guangyi would have delayed judging this case?

The women all showed surprise, and the first one reminded: "Does the princess say that the saint will not recognize Ren Qiu? But of course, except for the outer room to have a child, but... But now this brother Shu's wife is given by a saint, and she doesn't know what the princess will do?

"The saint gave her to the king as a compensation for the evil thing." Changsun Mingjing didn't care and said, "She is just a dance trick from the teaching workshop. The saint just ordered her to come to the royal palace to serve the king. A cheap concubine was not born with national beauty. It was nothing more than a charming posture. The king looked fresh. When he returned to the fiefdom, he left her here for a long time, the king It's almost forgotten, so let's see her own creation!"

She said so, but her eyes gradually cooled down. "Now I'm only worried about what the evil seed has done - I heard that during this period, someone secretly spread rumors that the evil seed was because I couldn't tolerate him and deliberately framed him?"
