When Mu Mingtang woke up the next day, she realized that she still didn't have a dresser.
Sure enough, you can't count on the Jiang family's maid. The two maids were called dowry, but they were actually surveillance. However, after coming to the Qiyang Palace, Mu Mingtang could not leave the hall all day, and the two maids did not dare to come in. The two of them took Mrs. Jiang's money and didn't have to wait in front of Mu Mingtang. How could they expect them to be obedient
Mu Mingtang sighed, still pulling up a bun casually. Her wedding did not live up to its name, she was so perfunctory on the day of the big wedding, and naturally she didn't see her aunt and aunt and worshipped the family temple afterwards. Etiquette may be omitted, otherwise, with her current appearance, she really can't see people.
But Mu Mingtang didn't plan to go on forever, no matter what the situation, he lived his life by himself. Others can trap her, if she is also unkempt and perfunctory, then she is really locked up.
Mu Mingtang tidied his hair, and the first thing after tidying up was to go to the bedroom and say hello to Xie Xuanchen: "My lord, good morning."
If you don't talk to people for a long time, you will get sick sooner or later. Mu Mingtang has no choice but to treat Xie Xuanchen as a normal person, greet him in the morning and evening, and tell him the daily menu. After Mu Mingtang wiped Xie Xuanchen's face and changed the medicine, the food delivery person also came. The breakfast in the palace is very particular. Mu Mingtang used a lot of beautiful snacks. When he couldn't eat any more, he put away the lunch box and walked outside.
She had to find a way to go out today, at least find a mirror for herself.
Sure enough, she was stopped by the captain of the guard at the door. With experience, Mu Mingtang is not afraid of him at all, and even dares to bargain: "My lord, I know that you have official business and you must not let me go. But I am not going out of the house, I am just going to Qingxintang to find my dowry. Although the main hall of the palace is fully equipped, there was no mistress before, and there was not even a dressing table in it. Besides, my clothes and jewelry are all in the dowry. You can't let me live on this set of clothes for the rest of my life, right?"
Yesterday, Mu Mingtang couldn't find the woman's clothes, so he could only continue to wear wedding clothes. Obviously she can't be like this all the time, no matter what, she needs to get her dowry.
Not only that, she has to fight for the right to pass freely between Qingxintang and Yulintang.
The head of the bodyguard was stunned by Mu Mingtang, and their guard object was King Qiyang, not the princess. Mu Mingtang went out for a while, as long as he didn't leave the palace, it didn't seem to hurt.
The head of the guard was relaxed, and sent two soldiers to follow Mu Mingtang and follow her to the front to carry the dowry.
Mu Mingtang looked at the two guards who stayed behind him and wondered where he was helping. He was clearly guarding her, afraid that she might run away. Anyway, Mu Mingtang didn't plan to run away. She didn't care about the tail behind her at all, but instead commanded the two soldiers confidently.
Strong men don't need to be white, why should you be polite to them
Mu Mingtang was a poor person, and he valued money more than life. She had already put away the dowry list, and she had even carried the keys with her. It is absolutely impossible for her dowry slaves to bully their masters, dowry and the like.
Mu Mingtang has always had a good memory in terms of money, and she found the dresser very quickly. Mu Mingtang's original plan was to choose a small and pocket-sized one, otherwise her cubicle would not fit. However, in order to make the appearance of the Jiang family, the furniture was very grand and grand, and the dresser in the dowry was a little too big.
Mu Mingtang couldn't leave the house, and he had no right to be picky, so he could only bite the bullet and admit it. She instructed two soldiers to move out several boxes for clothes. Mu Mingtang's original intention was to let the two of them carry them together, but the two of them looked at each other.
Okay, anyway, it's not Mu Mingtang's contribution, she has no opinion. Xiao Bing moved several times, and finally finished moving her clothes. Only then did Mu Mingtang instruct them to move the dresser. She went out with the two of them, locked the door, and walked to Yulin Hall.
When Mu Mingtang approached, she found that all her mahogany boxes and cages were piled up at the door. They were afraid that Xie Xuanchen would get to this point, and they didn't even dare to enter the hall. Mu Mingtang was speechless, and went to look at their leader, the head guard: "Sir, you piled things up at the door, are you planning to let me move them?"
The head guard also felt embarrassed, coughed, and said, "I dare not.
Mu Mingtang snorted, turned and pushed open the hall door. She took two steps and turned back impatiently to urge, "Come on, what are you doing?"
Mu Mingtang obviously saw that everyone took a deep breath, and only then moved the furniture in pairs, and even a group of people pulled out their knives and escorted the comrades who were carrying things into the door. Mu Mingtang clicked his tongue and said in disgust, "Look at your courage, Sesame is more courageous than you!"
Being rejected by a young woman face to face, everyone was embarrassed. However, no matter how embarrassed they were, they dared not put down the knife in their hands.
Mu Mingtang originally intended to put the dressing table in his cubicle, but after entering the hall, everyone clearly walked in the direction of Xie Xuanchen. Mu Mingtang reacted at once, yes, she is the princess, and she should sleep with Xie Xuanchen.
This time, it was Mu Mingtang's turn to be embarrassed. She couldn't say that she and Xie Xuanchen slept separately, she could only watch a few tall guards carry the dresser and the cage all the way to the innermost, carefully put them beside Xie Xuanchen's bed, and immediately jumped up like their feet were burning on the ground , exiting the dormitory neatly and covering each other. Before she could speak, the soldiers closed the door.
… run really fast. Mu Mingtang looked dejectedly at the tall and sturdy dresser and box, and gestured at her small arms, reluctantly admitting that she alone could not carry such heavy things.
The clothes are easy to say, she can carry the stacks of clothes back to her own space, but what about the dresser
Could it be that she will have to dress up in front of Xie Xuanchen every day in the future
Mu Mingtang was really depressed. However, saying a thousand things and ten thousand, the hair always has to be combed. Mu Mingtang was sitting in front of the dresser, and in the mirror, she could even see Xie Xuanchen's face.
For ventilation, Mu Mingtang hung up all the curtains on the first night of entering the door, and Xie Xuanchen's bed tent was also open all day. Mu Mingtang is very awkward. If Xie Xuanchen opened his eyes, wouldn't he be able to see her face
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but thinking about it like this, she really felt that Xie Xuanchen was about to open her eyes. Mu Mingtang was startled, and he couldn't care about the hairpin, so he hurriedly turned back to look at Xie Xuanchen.
Xie Xuanchen still fell asleep quietly, just looking at the sleeping face, it was as beautiful as a picture scroll.
Mu Mingtang stared at it for a long time, thinking that she might have been alone for a long time, and some grass and trees were all soldiers. She turned her head and continued to fix the unfinished bun, and then put it into the hairbrush, tassels, and bead flowers in sequence.
In the past, to imitate Jiang Mingwei, Mu Mingtang could only use jewelry such as silk flowers and ribbons, and the beautiful gemstone hairpins could only be seen but not touched. Now that she has a large box of jewelry herself, she can choose the shiny jewelry according to her own preferences.
Mu Mingtang picked it seriously, and devoted himself to it later, completely forgetting the existence of the outside world. When she finished dressing herself, she was so happy in body and mind that she couldn't help looking at her in the mirror. At this time, she had completely forgotten about Xie Xuanchen.
After dressing up, Mu Mingtang was clearly in a good mood. He hummed a song and sorted the clothes in the mahogany box into his closet. Even when she was feeding her lunch, she was clearly in a good mood.
In the afternoon, everything is over. Mu Mingtang has money in his hand, and slowly thinks about taking care of Xie Xuanchen's body.
The kitchen didn't know that she fed her porridge to Xie Xuanchen, so the liquid food sent was the most common. Ordinary people are fine to drink, but if they are fed to patients, they cannot be so casual.
It's a pity that she can't leave the house, so the matter of going out to buy things has to fall on the guards outside. Although the military order is like a mountain, there is also a saying that money can make a ghost run the mill, and she may be able to try it while the captain of the guard is not paying attention.
·
Mu Mingtang sat in the sun, slowly peeling almonds. These nuts were snacks that she had bought from a certain guard at the price of a hosta.
The head guard did not let Mu Mingtang leave Yulin Hall, so Mu Mingtang quietly bribed the other guards while he was not paying attention, and asked them to buy snacks outside. Mu Mingtang only said that she was bored and wanted to eat some snacks to pass the time. She was only fifteen years old, and she was about the same age as their sister, but she would spend the rest of her life in confinement. Even if the guards have military orders, they will inevitably feel sympathy.
On top of that, a hosta, by any means, is more expensive than a nut. Since Mu Mingtang gave them the hairpin, it was impossible to ask for change. How much money can be pawned for a whole green and good-looking hosta, and how much is a handful of fried nuts.
This is how Mu Mingtang got the snacks outside. Mu Mingtang's trouble was definitely not for her own eating. She planned to grind these almonds and hazelnuts, and then mix them into the porridge and feed them to Xie Xuanchen later.
Xie Xuanchen has slept for a long time, and he has not seen the sun all the year round, so he urgently needs supplementary nutrition. But Mu Mingtang didn't dare to ask the guards to help her buy eggs, goat milk, etc. It was too obvious. She was afraid that her behavior would be discovered by outsiders, so she could only start with nuts and slowly replenish Xie Xuanchen's body.
Peeling hazelnuts and almonds requires patience. Mu Mingtang was knocking on the skins when he suddenly heard movement at the door. She thought it was the one who delivered the meal, and without looking up, she said, "Put it at the door, and I'll come."
After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, he was still wondering why the food delivery person came so quickly today. However, her voice fell behind, and there was no response at the door for a long time. Mu Mingtang suddenly felt wrong. Huo De raised his head and found that Xie Xuanji stood at the door at some point, looking at her indifferently.
Mu Mingtang clenched his fingers subconsciously, and then calmly exposed many fruit shells on the table. Xie Xuanji will appear here, and most of them already know her little moves. It was useless for her to hide it, and she seemed guilty.
Mu Mingtang wiped his fingers with the handkerchief, and then stood up unhurriedly: "It turned out to be the King of Jin, I don't know who my concubine is, and I have lost my way."
Xie Xuanji walked into the hall and frowned secretly when he saw the surrounding furnishings. He didn't know whether he was frowning because Yulintang was dead, or because Mu Mingtang was still at peace even in this environment.
The guards were scared to death and dared not take a step into the gate, Xie Xuanji seemed to have no such scruples. He stopped in front of Mu Mingtang, looked at a large push of nut shells in front of her, and asked, "Where did it come from?"
"Where did King Jin come from?" Mu Mingtang didn't seem to panic at all, wrapped the peeled nuts with paper and said, "I stay indoors all day, and I can't even go out to get some air. I just want to eat some fruit, isn't it also illegal?"
Xie Xuanji didn't want to ask for guilt for such a trivial matter. As long as Mu Mingtang was carried into the Qiyang Palace alive, their purpose would be achieved. As for what happened to Mu Mingtang after that, the emperor didn't care much.
Mu Mingtang just asked someone to go out of the house to buy some nuts. It's not a big deal to discuss carefully. If the housekeeper of the palace hadn't presented something to Xie Xuanji, Xie Xuanji wouldn't have come to see Mu Mingtang specifically today.
Seeing that Mu Mingtang was still confused and confused, he endured his displeasure, took out something from his sleeve, and stretched out his hand in front of Mu Mingtang: "Then what's going on?"
Mu Mingtang lowered his head and glanced at the jasper hairpin sent out by Mu Mingtang as a bribe. Sure enough, the guard pawned the hairpin.
Mu Mingtang couldn't directly insert silver money, so he could only use jewelry to bribe the guards. Anyway, she doesn't like these elegant and simple jewelry. Wouldn't it be good to send them out as a favor? She would not be willing to let her send those shiny gold hairpins.
This style is what Jiang Mingwei likes, and the dowry of Jiang's house is naturally according to Jiang Mingwei's preferences, so Mu Mingtang also has a lot of light and elegant jewelry here. Mu Mingtang took a glance and looked away, and said, "Yes, it's mine. I deal with my dowry as a matter of course, and King Jin even takes care of it?"
Xie Xuanji held back his anger and said, "Even if you get angry, you can't waste your dowry. You liked this hairpin so much before, but now you sell it cheaply just for a little food?"
Mu Mingtang simply felt inexplicable: "I don't like it, can't I sell it for food?"
"You're still stubborn." Xie Xuanji looked at Mu Mingtang, hesitating to speak, his eyes were heavy, "After you married him, you were so wronged to this extent. It's just some snacks, and you need to sell the dowry."
"I really don't like it!" Mu Mingtang was wronged, "I said that I don't like it, if it wasn't for the difficulty of seeing craftsmen carving jade, I would have thrown it away, and it would be better if I could use it for a handful of food. I've made the best use of it. Besides, you married me to your brother, why can't I go out, you don't know?"
Xie Xuanji still didn't believe it. He sighed and said, "You are still blaming me. Jin Wangfu is adjacent to Qiyang Wangfu, and you can enter the garden of Jin Wangfu from the small gate on the east side. If you want anything in the future, you can come to me. ."
Mu Mingtang's face sank all of a sudden, she fixed a look at Xie Xuanji, and suddenly sneered: "Yo, what does King Jin mean? Your sweetheart is back, and you are in high spirits when you meet your old love again, and now you feel abandoned by you. The substitute is a little pitiful? I am your sister-in-law, and now your brother is seriously ill in bed, you asked me to go to Jin Wangfu from Xiaomen, what do you mean?"
Xie Xuanji seemed to smile, took a step forward, and immediately shortened the distance between the two: "Do you really think that after that nondescript wedding, it's my wife? In the first half of the wedding, I was on my behalf. salute."
"Salute is also a substitute." Mu Mingtang immediately wanted to retreat, but she did not escape Xie Xuanji, and almost fell in a hurry. Xie Xuanji grabbed Mu Mingtang, Mu Mingtang found that the distance between the two was closer, she panicked, and as soon as she stood firm, she threw Xie Xuanji's hand: "Bastard, let me go!"
Mu Mingtang thought that Xie Xuanji didn't dare to do anything. But she looked up and saw that the door was closed at some point. The spacious hall was empty, only the two of them.
Mu Mingtang's heart was cold, she quickly struggled out of Xie Xuanji's hand, and took a few steps back: "Xie Xuanji, I'm your sister-in-law, do you want to ignore human relations?"
"Do you really take this marriage seriously?" Xie Xuanji smiled lightly, "He is in a coma, and he is powerless to do anything. If you follow him, what will happen? If you are interested, you will know what to do. ."
"What should she do?"
Xie Xuanji and Mu Mingtang were both startled, they quickly turned around and found the sound of something heavy hitting the edge of the bed in the innermost bedroom.
Mu Mingtang reacted immediately, it was the iron cuffs on Xie Xuanchen's hands. The chain was made of black iron and was extremely heavy. Only the pair of handcuffs could make such a big noise.
