The grease, paste and other things that Rong Xi used to cover up her face needed a special liquid to dissolve, so her true appearance was not exposed because of this basin of cold water.
But the bun and clothes were not spared.
After the body was drenched, the girl's slender and graceful curves became more and more prominent. Such a pitiful appearance gave birth to a pitiful loneliness and weakness.
One after another, princes from aristocratic families came to the Hanlin Academy, and their eyes unconsciously fell on Rong Xi.
Those slightly ambiguous gazes made Mu Huai feel uncomfortable. Seeing Rong Xi's body curves exposed due to the wet clothes, Mu Huai's eyes darkened slightly, and ordered: "Go back and change your clothes."
Rong Xi crossed his arms and covered his body, agreed to Mu Huai's yes, and then quickly left the Imperial Academy.
As soon as she stepped over the threshold, she bumped into Mu Qian and her elder brother, the second prince Mu Ji.
With a smile in Mu Qian's eyes, she seemed to be speaking to Rong Xi with great complacency, but in fact, she was speaking to the person inside, "Yo, just after being transferred to Quyun Palace, you've been drenched in water?"
Rong Xi listened to Mu Qian's eccentric words, still not losing half of his etiquette, bowed his knees to bow to Mu Qian and Mu Jifu, and then quickly ran towards Quyun Palace.
Rong Xi was shivering from the cold, and guessed in his heart that the second princess, Mu Qian, probably did this.
The sun was shining brightly, and after the prince and clan sons had all arrived, the master arrived with a bookboy carrying a bookcase.
Everyone had already sat down, waiting quietly for the master to pass on his knowledge to teach, but Mu Huai remained where he was, staring at the puddle of water stains on the ground with a gloomy expression on his face.
The master didn't know what happened before, but he didn't dare to ask Mu Huai directly, so he asked Mu Zhen's third son, Mu Tao who was born of Concubine De.
Mu Tao roughly told his master what happened.
The master stroked his white beard after hearing this, and knew in his heart that today's class probably won't be able to attend.
The character of Mu Huai, the prince of evil gods, is one of revenge. If he is offended, the only ending can be described as "miserable".
At this time, Mu Huai's attendant rushed into the room and shouted, "Go in!"
Everyone's eyes followed the prestige, and they saw the handsome little eunuch with red lips and white teeth being pushed out by the burly attendant.
The little eunuch failed to stand still, turned over and fell to the ground.
When Mu Qian and Mu Ji saw the little eunuch, their expressions changed.
Mu Ji gouged out Mu Qian with his eyes.
This little eunuch belongs to Mu Qian, he is good at climbing rocks and walls, and he can walk like flying on the roof.
Seeing that his deeds were exposed, Mu Qian was about to break the jar, but was stopped by Mu Ji, who pretended to be puzzled and asked Mu Huai, "Why did the fourth brother arrest a little eunuch next to my sister?"
Mu Huai sneered, but did not reply to Mu Ji's words, then glared at Mu Qian with sharp eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "What a good thing you did? Are you going to pour cold water on me?"
Mu Qian trembled in fright, and Mu Ji hurriedly protected his sister behind him, and said again: "What is this fourth brother doing? Arbitrarily arresting my sister's servants, and wanting to blame my sister for this morning's incident." head?"
Mu Huai ordered the guards to turn the little eunuch's hand over, only to see that the palm of his hand was slightly wet with mud marks, and the pattern of the roof could still be vaguely seen.
In autumn, the roof will always be covered with frost, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that the little eunuch must have been lying on the roof for a long time.
The imprint of that hand is so deep, it must have been supporting the bony spine.
With such conclusive evidence, Mu Qian and Mu Ji could no longer quibble.
Seeing that the matter could not be concealed anymore, Mu Ji changed his face, put on a look of pampering his younger sister, and lowered his posture to Mu Huai: "Fourth brother, Qianqian is domineering, and it is me and the concubine mother who discipline her." If you are careless, please spare her once today, and I will ask you for her guilt here."
After all, Mu Ji cupped his hands and bowed to his younger brother.
The eldest son of Zong and the son of the official family beside him all sighed, these two princes are really kind, and their personality is the most like that of the current emperor, and they can't complain that there are rumors in the court that these two princes, Mu Ji, are likely to be appointed as crown princes.
Mu Huai only felt disgusted by Mu Ji's attitude.
What a hypocrisy.
Since he was so willing to put on a show, then he fulfilled his wish and made him a good brother.
With a sneer in his eyes, Mu Huai looked at Mu Qian and said, "This is in the Hanlin Academy. The late emperor once established a rule that if any prince or princess dares to cause trouble here, he will be punished with a ruler."
The master was shocked when he heard this.
This rule existed. When the late Emperor Mu You was alive, the masters of the Hanlin Academy were very strict in discipline, and the princes and daughters of the current Emperor Mu Zhen's generation have often been handcuffed.
But after Mu Zhen became emperor, although the rules of the Imperial Academy still existed, no master dared to beat the prince and daughter with a ruler.
The white-bearded master was afraid that Mu Huai would make him return to this rule, so he didn't dare to hit the second princess' hand.
Mu Ji was puzzled: "What does the fourth brother mean?"
Mu Huai raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a serious tone: "Since the second brother has said everything, it is because you are not careless in discipline, so for the sake of the second sister in the future, you need to teach her a lesson today. You have to teach me, and my A statement from a court lady drenched in cold water."
"This… "
Mu Ji looked at the aggrieved younger sister, and then at the aggressive Mu Huai, unable to make a decision for a while.
The third prince Mu Tao said at this time: "The fourth brother is right. The second sister made a mistake today. If the second brother doesn't punish her, the fourth brother will be disappointed."
After Mu Tao finished speaking, although the surrounding clan sons and official sons dared not speak, their expressions clearly agreed.
Mu Ji wanted to save face the most, so he gritted his teeth bitterly, took the ruler from the book boy, and ordered Mu Qian to stretch out his hand in a low voice.
Mu Qian's eyes were flushed, and she felt wronged in her heart, so she begged, "Brother~"
Mu Ji's attitude was no longer as gentle as before, and he urged her, "Don't you hurry up and reach out?"
Mu Qian stretched out his hand tremblingly, Mu Ji's heart was swayed, and without deliberately controlling his strength, he slapped Mu Qian's palm heavily with the ruler.
-"pain!"
Mu Qian was spoiled and spoiled, how could she suffer such grievances.
After this blow, Mu Ji gritted his teeth and asked Mu Huai, "Is fourth brother satisfied this time?"
At this time, Rong Xi had already changed her clothes, and her bun was still half wet.
When Mu Huai saw Rong Xi enter the room, he shivered.
This girl seems to have caught a cold.
Seeing this, his eyes darkened, and he turned back to Mu Ji and said: "I am also her legitimate elder brother, if the second brother is reluctant to beat her, then I will take care of you."
When Mu Qian heard that Mu Huai was going to personally punish her with a ruler, her almond eyes widened in fright, and she hurriedly said to Mu Ji: "Brother, you should hit me, please don't let him hit me, please... "
After all, Mu Qian is a delicate princess. This happened in front of the Master. Although Mu Huai's request for an explanation is justified, he didn't want the situation to get too out of control, so he said to Mu Huai: "Your Highness, hitting the princess twenty times is enough. gone."
Mu Huai has always been respectful to his master, but what he did today also disturbed his master's normal teaching, so he kept silent, which was regarded as his request.
Mu Qian's voice became shriller each time.
It hurts, but she yelled in such a piercing voice, she was actually venting her anger, she really hated this cripple!
This Mu Ji personally hit Mu Qian's hand with a ruler, and the other Mu Huai ordered his attendant to bring a basin of cold water with ice.
When everyone was stunned, they only heard Mu Huai order Rong Xi: "Go, pour this basin of water on that eunuch's head."
After getting the order, Rong Xi didn't hesitate at all, and responded with a soft voice: "Yes."
Immediately, he picked up the basin of water with his slender arms, and poured it on the little eunuch's head without any politeness. The water covered the eunuch's head, and Rong Xi whispered: "This is our master's punishment for you!" Yes, you shouldn't mess with our fourth prince if you mess with anyone, it won't be as simple as being thrown cold water next time."
This behavior made Mu Tao and others dumbfounded.
This maid's voice was delicate, but she acted just like her master, swift and resolute, without showing mercy at all.
It's really the evil master who has barbarian slaves.
When Mu Huai heard Rong Xi's words, the corners of Mu Huai's lips curled slightly.
But he still didn't let go of the eunuch's thoughts, he slightly bent his index finger, put it on his chin, and said to the eunuch: "Next time? No more time. Someone, drag him out and beat him with eighty boards."
Rong Xi was slightly startled after hearing this.
She thought that Mu Huai let her finish pouring the eunuch's cold water, so she would let it go, but who would have thought that he would beat the eunuch.
If the eighty strikes continue, the little eunuch might not survive.
The master couldn't bear to see the bloodshed, and advised him: "Your Highness... since he is in the Imperial Academy, then according to the rules of the Imperial Academy, reward him with a hundred hands."
The third prince Mu Tao also felt that the punishment was too heavy, so he also came to persuade Mu Huai: "Fourth brother, this eunuch belongs to the second sister after all. If the servants in your palace beat you at will, you can do whatever you want, but since you belong to the second sister , you'd better be sympathetic."
Mu Huai pursed his thin lips slightly. It was hard for him to understand why he should be merciful to the enemy, but the current situation was not good for him to kill the eunuch, so he pushed the wheelchair by himself and went to the high school where he usually studies without saying a word. .
After being spanked, Mu Qian ran out crying.
—"Hit him two hundred hands, not one less."
After Mu Huai sat down, he turned around and said in a cold voice.
These words were actually said to the attendants, but Rong Xi was used to doing these things when she was by Yu Zhaorong's side.
Generally speaking, Yu Zhaorong would let those little girls be taught a lesson, such as slapping their mouths or pulling wattle twigs.
Rong Xi knew in her heart that she was usually kind to others, but she had prestige.
Where does this prestige come from? They all come from here.
At first she felt that she was a little cruel, but later she realized that they were all performing their own duties.
Mu Huai saw Rong Xi took the ruler from the hand of the book boy, walked up to the eunuch, ordered him to stretch out his hand in a soft voice, and began to beat the eunuch's hand without mercy, he couldn't help but chuckled.
Those who follow him must not pretend to be kind and soft-hearted.
Like this girl, she won his favor.
*****
After Rong Xi stayed in Quyun Palace for a few days, the autumn rain began to fall continuously in Bianjing again.
Shunfu was a little anxious this day, Mu Huai had a problem with his legs, but the old lady who often massaged his legs died a few days ago.
Mu Huai hated being approached by strangers, and he couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while.
I saw him enduring the pain in his legs, without saying a word, just sitting in front of the window looking gloomy at the rain, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead from time to time.
After Rong Xi learned of this, she said to Shunfu: "When Yu Zhaorong was pregnant, her legs were often sore and swollen. At that time, the servant girl had learned some massage techniques by serving close to her. .”
Shunfu was a little surprised when he heard this.
Over the past few days, he observed Rong Xi, and felt that the maid's ability was beyond his expectation.
Seems like there's nothing she can't do.
Shun Fu replied: "Well, there is no other way, you should be careful when serving His Highness, don't talk too much."
Rong Xi nodded.
If Mu Huai didn't take the initiative to ask her, she would not have the guts to talk to him.
After Rong Xi entered the room, he saw Mu Huai's brows were deeply locked, and his face was extremely ugly.
She adjusted her breathing a little, and walked carefully to Mu Huai's side.
Mu Huai's voice was a little hoarse due to the pain, he asked Rong Xi: "What are you doing here?"
Rong Xi walked to Mu Huai's side, knelt beside the wheelchair, raised her head and said with concern: "Eunuch Shunfu said that His Highness's leg hurts, and this slave girl is thinking, massaging His Highness will relieve His Highness' leg disease to some extent."
Hearing Rong Xi's soft voice, Mu Huai felt a little relaxed inside, so he agreed and asked her to rub his legs.
Rong Xi's hands were as slender as new snow, and their shape was extremely beautiful.
Mu Huai originally had his eyes closed, but while feeling Rong Xi's familiar techniques, all he could think about was her slender hands.
He remembered the soft feel of those hands carelessly touching the back of his neck.
But his mind became more and more strange, he actually wanted to put her hands in his palms and play with them.
At this moment, her slender hands are gently kneading and slowly twisting on his legs...
Mu Huai's breathing became a little deeper.
This court lady has only been by his side for a few days, but he has already been disturbed by some strange emotion several times, it is really indescribable.
Mu Huai opened his eyes suddenly.
Rong Xi suddenly felt the wind blowing all over his body, and just when he felt strange, his slender arms were suddenly grabbed by Mu Huai.
Suppressing the pain, she saw Mu Huai's eyes were slightly red, and said in an extremely cold voice: "Get out."
