Now the palace is surprisingly quiet, without any entertainment. After Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen had dinner, the maids cleaned up the table and had nothing else to do but to prepare for bed.
The maids put things in the dormitory with familiarity, and after making the bed, they retreated one by one. After the door was closed, Mu Mingtang removed Xie Xuanchen's crown in front of the mirror and said, "I asked Xiang Nanchun just now and learned that the imperial physician is on duty at Xue Zhai. Where is Xue Zhai?"
"Follow Yunruizhai and go east. After passing Jingzhai, you will reach it after a short walk. It is opposite Jingzhai, and there is only a gap of water between Jingzhai and Jingzhai."
Mu Mingtang recalled the route of the palace, and he could not understand it. She nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will find a chance to go to the east. By the way, I heard that there is a lake in the palace. Is that the one you just mentioned?"
"No, the lake has to go further east. When it was built, the stream outside was deliberately brought in. The water is alive and cleaner than stagnant water."
Mu Mingtang stood behind Xie Xuanchen, just took off his hair crown, and is now combing his hair. Hearing Xie Xuanchen's words, she couldn't hold back a "tsk".
"I lived in Jingzhai, and the water outside the window was quite wide. I thought it was the lake in the garden, but it's not?"
"Of course not." Xie Xuanchen sneered, "That's just a small pool at best."
"Xiaochizi..." Mu Mingtang murmured and couldn't help sighing, "Luxury, you nobles and grandsons are too much!"
Xie Xuanchen was amused, his hair was loose now, candlelight was reflected in his eyes, and his smile was pure and harmless. Mu Mingtang still held Xie Xuanchen's hair in his hand, saw his smile in the mirror, and brushed his hair slightly.
What a sin, if all the nobles and grandchildren in the world looked like this, she would be willing to give anything they wanted. Seeing that Mu Mingtang was in a daze and sighing, Xie Xuanchen asked strangely, "What did you think of again, sighing?"
Mu Mingtang shook his head: "It's nothing. You won't understand the sorrow of ordinary people."
Xie Xuanchen raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and Mu Mingtang blurted out the words "kings and grandsons" and "ordinary people", which showed that she did not feel that she was one of them, and that she did not have the consciousness of becoming his wife. When Xie Xuanchen thought of this, he thought to himself, he couldn't give Mu Mingtang a future at all, what qualifications did he have to ask her
Mu Mingtang sighed at the evil rich as usual, but did not pay attention to Xie Xuanchen's subtle changes. She combed Xie Xuanchen's hair and put it behind her shoulders.
In this way, he looks more like a innocent and harmless little white face. Mu Mingtang ate secretly, Xie Xuanchen was a man with dark and shiny hair, which was very soft behind him, and felt great in his hand. Mu Mingtang helped Xie Xuanchen to get up, and couldn't help asking, "Is your hair so straight?"
"Well." Xie Xuanchen nodded disapprovingly, and Mu Mingtang saw sour water in his heart. Today, because of going out, Xie Xuanchen put on a black and purple robe. It looks good, but it's a little embarrassing to go to bed now.
Mu Mingtang coughed lightly, and put his eyes on Xie Xuanchen embarrassedly: "I can't sleep with my coat on, so I'll help you take off the coat first?"
Xie Xuanchen tried his best to restrain the expression on his face, and nodded calmly and calmly: "Well."
Xie Xuanchen was so calm, as if he had long been used to it. Seeing that Xie Xuanchen didn't care at all, Mu Mingtang looked like a bum in comparison.
After one study and one study, Mu Mingtang slowly calmed down. She went around to the front, unbuttoned Xie Xuanchen's collar, and then reached out to untie Xie Xuanchen's belt.
When Mu Mingtang came into contact with Xie Xuanchen's body, he found that he was hard. Mu Mingtang didn't think much, and while unbuttoning his belt, he said casually, "Why are you so tight?"
"Nonsense." Xie Xuanchen denied it without thinking, "I've always been like this."
Well, Mu Mingtang doesn't argue with him. After taking off the coat, there is no need to change the middle coat inside, Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen both breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the first time in Xie Xuanchen's life that he has been undressed by a woman. He was tense and regretful at the same time. He hadn't taken off women's clothes yet, but he was led by Mu Mingtang first.
As usual, Xie Xuanchen went back to bed first, and then Mu Mingtang went to the screen to change clothes. I did these things once again yesterday, and I am familiar with them today, and I am not as embarrassed as they were when I heard the rubbing of fabrics. After Mu Mingtang changed into the snow-white t-shirt, he blew out the candle and slowly groped back.
After Mu Mingtang climbed into the bed, he felt the darkness and lay back under the quilt. Lying on the bed, she heard the breathing of the person next to her, and she felt a strange sense of peace.
The huge palace, servants like clouds, magnificent, but only the people around can believe. At this moment, lying flat on one side, there is a feeling of being dependent on each other.
Mu Mingtang also felt that his idea was extremely out of date. I don't know if it was a broken jar or a habit, but Mu Mingtang was lying on the bed today and soon fell asleep.
"The old doctor is on duty on the fourth day, tomorrow I will go to explore the way, wait until the fourth night, you will be guarding the house after the lights are turned off, and I will quietly open the window to find someone. If the maid outside hears anything, you You must help me cover."
Xie Xuanchen responded in a low voice. Mu Mingtang turned over and yawned softly: "Thank you, I'm going to bed first. Good night."
Shortly after Mu Mingtang finished speaking, his breathing gradually became even, and he was obviously asleep. Xie Xuanchen sighed secretly, he had to admire such a mentality of being able to eat and sleep.
There was no moon tonight, Xie Xuanchen opened his eyes and looked into the darkness, and vaguely heard the sound of rain outside the window. When Mu Mingtang went to bed, he put down the bed tent, everything was hazy outside, and the sound of rain beating on the eaves made a pattering sound.
The night rain accompanied by the autumn wind was originally a very sad scene, but hearing the shallow breathing of the people around him gave Xie Xuanchen an unparalleled sense of steadfastness. There is rain outside the window, and there are people around, which is probably the sense of security that is engraved in people's memory.
Xie Xuanchen actually fell asleep slowly with the sound of the dripping rain.
·
The next morning, Mu Mingtang woke up early and found that the room was a little cold. She retracted her arms that had been placed outside, warmed up in the quilt, and finally got up reluctantly.
As soon as Mu Mingtang moved, the maid outside heard the voice. The maid knocked on the door softly: "Princess, are you going to get up?"
Mu Mingtang carefully bypassed Xie Xuanchen, stood on his feet, and pulled all the hair scattered on his shoulders behind him: "Come in."
The maids filed in, and Mu Mingtang washed her face and teeth under the maid's service, and the maid holding the utensil withdrew to the back lightly, to make way for another wave of serving maids.
The maids were holding all kinds of skirts and asked, "Princess, what kind of dress do you want to wear today?"
Emu Mingtang's idea must be to dress brightly and lively. She was in Jiang's house for a year and a half, and was fed up with imitating Jiang Mingwei and wearing only light blue and gray every day. However, the wars in this dynasty continued, and the requirements for women became more and more strict. The court vigorously advocated that women should be chaste and observant, taking weakness as beauty, and clothes and other things should be plain and light.
Jiang Mingwei's style is what mainstream aesthetics like. But Mu Mingtang didn't. She was fed up with imitating Jiang Mingwei's uselessness, so she chose to wear what she liked. She chose a crimson pleated skirt with a white top, and after slightly diluting the beauty of the skirt, she put on an indigo-blue gold-painted large-sleeved shirt and a yellow silk drapery on her arms.
Red, blue and yellow are all conspicuous colors. According to the maid's idea, choosing such a color for a set of clothes is enough to be gorgeous, but Mu Mingtang chose all three together. The maid sighed in her heart, her background is determined by her background, and it came from the folks. The aesthetics is too bad.
As a result, after Mu Mingtang was dressed, it turned out to be bright and charming. Mu Mingtang was originally as charming as Haitang. She used to wear gray and white, which was not bad-looking, but the clothes were too light, which made her facial features dull. Now that the three rich colors are colliding together, the clothes are bright enough, and Mu Mingtang's appearance is more beautiful, and the complexion is very good.
In a group of light green and pale blue maids, Mu Mingtang was dressed in bright red and indigo, which was simply outstanding at the crushing level. Just now, the maids who thought that Mu Mingtang had a vulgar taste saw the finished product, and they all felt as if they had lost their color in an instant.
The maid couldn't stop praising Mu Mingtang for her good looks, but she was secretly thinking, why don't she change to a brighter color tomorrow
Mu Mingtang changed his clothes and was sorting out his accessories by the maid. Xiang Nanchun ordered breakfast, walked to the door in small steps, and reminded: "Princess, breakfast is ready."
Mu Mingtang supported her arms, and after the maid straightened the drape on her skirt, she withdrew her hand and nodded lightly, "Okay."
When Mu Mingtang turned around, Xiang Nanchun also felt his eyes lit up. Others dislike gaudy colors and put them on Mu Mingtang, and they can't tell how bright and beautiful they are.
Everyone likes to look at good-looking things, especially when it rained last night, it was cold and cold today, and even the sky outside was gray. Such a gloomy morning can see a bright and vivid beauty, and the mood seems to be bright in an instant.
The maids surrounded Mu Mingtang and walked towards the dining room. Mu Mingtang sat down at the table and saw that the dishes on the table were exquisite, at least 30 kinds of dishes were placed, including soup, rice, noodle soup, dim sum, seasonal vegetables, fresh and rare poultry.
This is just for Mu Mingtang alone, and Xie Xuanchen's is still on the stove. Mu Mingtang sighed at the wicked princes and nobles while having breakfast under the service of the maids. With only a little of each dish, Mu Mingtang was basically full.
Today's crystal shrimp dumplings were well done, and Mu Mingtang used two in a row. The second she had just bitten halfway through, when she heard the maid report: "Princess Yi, King Jin and Princess Jin have come to greet you."
Mu Mingtang slowly swallowed half of the shrimp dumplings in his mouth, and was amazed. She thought that Mrs. Jiang was just pretending yesterday, but she didn't expect that Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei really came to say goodbye? In the morning and evening, the wind and rain never stopped, they actually planned to come and pretend to be their grandson in front of her
Seeing that Mu Mingtang stopped eating, Xiang Nanchun asked in a low voice, "Princess, may I ask King Jin and Princess Jin to wait a moment?"
Mu Mingtang shook his head and bit the remaining half of the shrimp dumpling into his stomach: "It's okay, I'm almost finished. Please take your seat with King Jin and Princess Jin."
The maids all agreed. Mu Mingtang put down his chopsticks, and immediately a maid came up with a bronze utensil and served Mu Mingtang to wash his hands. Mu Mingtang licked his fingers with clear water, and just after leaving the water, another maid immediately wiped Mu Mingtang's hands with a white silk cloth.
Look at these evil princes and nobles, they are too extravagant.
When Mu Mingtang walked to the front hall, Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei were already seated. Xie Xuanji heard the maid's greeting, and immediately put down the tea cup, stood up and gave Mu Mingtang a hand: "Second sister-in-law."
Jiang Mingwei also stood up and saluted. Mu Mingtang was surrounded by many maids in front and back, and slowly sat on the top: "King Jin and Princess Jin, please get up."
Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei then straightened up and sat back in their seats. Xie Xuanji had been drooping his eyes just now, and now he was seated, only to find that Mu Mingtang had delicate hair in a bun, a long crimson dress hanging on the ground, and a large indigo-sleeved shirt winding on the chair, which was amazingly bright.
It is late autumn now, and it rained last night. The sky was gloomy and gloomy all the way, and the trees were bleak and gloomy. Only when he entered the door and saw Mu Mingtang, his eyes seemed to be instantly lit up.
Even the gloomy late autumn has color in an instant.
Mu Mingtang sat on the throne and said, "It rained last night and it was windy in the morning. It's not easy to walk here. Although I am older than you, I am not the parents and elders of King Jin and Princess Jin. There's really no need to brave the wind and rain to greet me."
Xie Xuanji's eyes were shaken, and he was slightly lost. Hearing Mu Mingtang's voice, Xie Xuanji quickly woke up and said, "How can this be done? My second brother is the same as my own brother. Now the second brother is still ill, and the second sister-in-law takes care of the family business alone. My second sister-in-law is my first priority every day. It is said that my elder sister-in-law is like a mother, and my uncle was so kind to me back then, and my second brother also supported me a lot. I came to ask my second sister-in-law to be safe. decline."
Mu Mingtang sighed, yes, this is a filial son and a worthy grandson. Since he can't push it away, Mu Mingtang doesn't care anymore. Anyway, they came to greet Mu Mingtang. Mu Mingtang didn't have to get up early or go out in the wind, frost, rain and snow, and there were people who greeted her carefully every day. What's she not happy about
Mu Mingtang nodded and said, "You have your heart. Since King Jin and Princess Jin insist on being filial, I can't stop you. But you came a little early today, and I was having dinner, so I was delayed for a while. King Jin and Princess Jin would not Do you think I neglected you?"
"How could it be." Xie Xuanji cupped his hands and said, "It was my lack of thought that delayed my sister-in-law's meal. Please don't blame my sister-in-law."
Mu Mingtang looked at the two people in front of him and showed a kind smile: "Everyone likes the smart and clever juniors, how can I blame you? If I have a son in the future, I will definitely let him learn from King Jin. With half the filial piety of the two of you, I will be satisfied."
The expressions of Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei became weird. Being compared to a son by a peer is not a good experience. Xie Xuanji's superficial skills are excellent. Hearing such rude words, his face still shows nothing, and Jiang Mingwei's face skills are not as good as Xie Xuanji's.
Jiang Mingwei sneered in her heart, and having a son in the future is a joke. Mu Mingtang really has no self-knowledge. She is destined to be a widow in her life. Where can she imagine her future children
Don't be afraid of being laughed at.
Jiang Mingwei came to see Mu Mingtang today because she wanted to show off. She finally got married yesterday and officially stepped from a lady to a lady. Although the bridal room Huazhuye was much different from what she expected, Jiang Mingwei felt that she would never experience the bridal room in her life, but Jiang Mingwei was full of malicious pity.
So when Jiang Mingwei came to see Mu Mingtang this morning, she deliberately wore a low-neck tube top, a blue jacket, and a light blue jacket. Jiang Mingwei is very satisfied with her outfit. The tone is light and elegant, and it can also reflect the delicate feeling of invincible clothes, which is much more advanced than Mu Mingtang's nouveau riche.
Jiang Mingwei deliberately showed a tired and unbearable look, and quietly changed her sitting position. After taking advantage of Xie Xuanji, Mu Mingtang was refreshed. When she turned around, she saw Jiang Mingwei's face was tired and restless, and she couldn't help but ask, "Why does Princess Jin always twist around, is it because she is not feeling well?"
Jiang Mingwei's body froze, never expecting Mu Mingtang, the idiot, to ask directly. She really wanted to convey this meaning, but... This kind of private matter is easy to understand between women, why did Mu Mingtang ask
Jiang Mingwei's expression was stiff. She secretly glanced at Xie Xuanji. At this time, if Xie Xuanji helped her, whatever she said would be enough to make Jiang Mingwei look decent. But Xie Xuanji sat steadily, unaware of her intentions, and even a hint of displeasure: "I'm rude, please say goodbye to sister-in-law, how can you be so rude?"
Jiang Mingwei's expression instantly froze. Mu Mingtang sat at the top, and his eyes moved curiously over the two of them. She really didn't understand at first, but Mu Mingtang suddenly sharpened her eyes and saw the faint red marks on Jiang Mingwei's neck. Mu Mingtang recalled Jiang Mingwei's seemingly unable to sit still performance just now, and immediately understood.
Mu Mingtang blushed instantly, she coughed awkwardly, and quickly picked up the tea cup to cover up. She finally understood how ignorant and honest she was about the question just now, but Mu Mingtang also felt wronged, who knows what the two of them did yesterday. They have been married for seven or eight days. Seeing the woman's face is pale and restless, normal people naturally think about being sick. Who would think of another crop
The front hall was immersed in an inexplicable embarrassment, and Mu Mingtang really didn't know how to smooth things out. It happened that at this moment, the maid walked quickly from the side door and saluted Mu Mingtang: "Princess, the lord is awake."
