The Counterfeit Madam Hou

Chapter 12: Hu Xuan

Views:

Because Chongrenfang faces the imperial city in the west, Dongshi in the southeast corner, and Pingkangfang where charming ladies live in the south, there are many restaurants and hotels in the square. Although the main roads outside the square have banned people from entering and leaving, many restaurants in the square are still brightly lit, and the sound of drinking and having fun can be heard endlessly.

Peng Peng dragged Liu Qinghuan and ran all the way in Chongrenfang, passed by many noisy restaurants, and finally returned safely to Yongninghou Mansion.

The Hou Mansion was very quiet, only a few crickets were chirping tirelessly. Panting in a low voice, Liu Qinghuan made a few hand gestures with Pengpeng, and then walked towards the bedroom.

When she approached the door, she listened intently first, and found that there was only a slight sound of breathing inside, and then poked her head out to take a look inside.

Both Chi Tao and Qing Zhi fell asleep outside, and even their postures remained the same as when she left. She took off the veil covering her face and returned to the room lightly. After taking off his coat and veil and hiding them together, he lay down on the bed as if nothing had happened.

When the bells and drums rang for the next day's dawn, Qingzhi woke up abruptly. Hearing the clang of the bell beside her ear, Qingzhi was startled unconsciously.

She fell asleep so deeply

She looked around like a frightened little rabbit, only to see Chitao still lying on the table snoring. Qingzhi frowned, went up and pushed Chitao's shoulder twice: "Chitao, wake up quickly! Don't even look at what time it is!"

Chi Tao also woke up after she made such a fuss, and after hearing the sound of bells and drums outside, she asked in shock, "Is Madam awake?"

If the madam wakes up and they are still asleep, it will be punished!

Qingzhi shook her head, and said in a low voice, "I guess not yet, I didn't hear anything when I got up just now."

"That's good, that's good." Chi Tao breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly dragged Qing Zhi to the back room. Inside the soft gauze tent, Liu Qinghuan lay quietly on the side, as if she was still fast asleep.

The two maids didn't dare to disturb any more, they simply worked for a while, and then stood by and waited for Liu Qinghuan to wake up by herself.

Liu Qinghuan woke up as early as the bell rang for the dawn—in fact, if there were still people who could continue to sleep amidst the persistent and persistent sound of the dawn, they probably didn't fall asleep, but died of sleep. Now that it was almost time, she sat up from the bed.

After breakfast as usual, he went to greet Ning Shi, and Liu Qinghuan asked Qing Zhi who was following behind him: "Has Master Hou sent someone here again?"

Qing Zhi shook her head and said, "No."

Liu Qinghuan nodded and didn't make another sound, but she was wondering what happened in the palace, the emperor left Xue Mu in the palace for two days.

After eating lunch alone at noon, Liu Qinghuan picked up the small bowl that Qing Zhi had just brought and ate the crispy cheese inside.

Liu Qinghuan likes to eat crispy cheese, and after Xue Mu learned that she likes to eat this, there has never been a shortage of crispy cheese in the Hou Mansion. After finishing a small bowl of crispy cheese with a lot of interest, Liu Qinghuan glanced sideways at Qingzhi, before she could speak, Qingzhi said anxiously: "Ma'am, Master Hou knows you like crispy cheese, but I also specifically explained it, You can only eat one bowl a day."

Liu Qinghuan curled her lips subconsciously, saying that Xue Muba is usually so busy that she can't even see her, but she is very strict about her little things.

—Didn't she just eat a few extra bowls last time and get upset? He actually remembered it until now!

Liu Qinghuan smiled at Qingzhi, and said, "I'm not going to say that, I just want to say that today I'm in a good mood and want to go shopping in the West Market."

Qing Zhi bowed to her and said: "I know this, now go down and prepare."

Liu Qinghuan looked at the back of her and Chi Tao going away, curled her lips and put the spoon into the bowl, but there was really not even a spoonful of crispy cheese left.

Chi Tao and Qing Zhi prepared quickly, Liu Qinghuan didn't wear men's clothes this time, but asked Qing Zhi to get a Hu suit with lapels and embroidered edges. Bringing Xiaobai from the stable, she quickly got on the horse, and led the two maids all the way across the city to the West Market. Xishi was no different from the last time she and Xue Mu came. The three of them led the horses and stopped and stopped on the road, and went into a lot of shops, but they didn't buy anything in the end.

Liu Qinghuan thought that it was Xue Mu who was following her now, so she probably had been fooled into buying a lot of things by now, right

At this time, she pursed her lips in surprise, didn't it mean that she hadn't seen him for two days, why did she always think of him

Suddenly there was a burst of applause from a wine shop in front, Liu Qinghuan poked his head forward curiously, and even Chi Tao couldn't help asking with interest: "What's going on in front? It's so lively."

Liu Qinghuan smiled and said, "Go and see."

There was an orchid dancing in the restaurant. Her face was covered with a pure white veil, a piece protruded from her tall nose, and her deep-set eye sockets seemed to have a thousand styles. Hu Xuanwu went round after round, and the applause in the restaurant was louder than louder.

Just when Liu Qinghuan was almost dizzy, Hu Ji finally stopped dancing. The applause from the surrounding guests hadn't stopped yet, Hu Ji saluted everyone, and instead of staying to serve the wine, she went back upstairs.

Because she has other things to do later.

Liu Qinghuan blinked and followed Hu Ji upstairs. There was a small room at the innermost part of the corridor, and two orchids happened to come out of it, and when they passed by Liu Qinghuan, they all gave a strange look. Liu Qinghuan didn't care too much, but just stood at the door and asked Hu Ji who was inside: "Your Hu Xuan dance is so beautiful, can you teach me?"

Hu Ji, who was about to take off her veil, paused for a moment, then turned her head to look at her in surprise.

As if worried that she would refuse, Liu Qinghuan added: "Of course, I will pay."

Chi Tao and Qing Zhi looked at each other, not understanding why Madam suddenly wanted to learn Hu Xuanwu... I didn't hear that Lord Hou likes Hu Xuanwu very much.

Hu Ji said a few nonsense in a low voice, and then invited Liu Qinghuan into the room. The room was very narrow, and there were a lot of clothes and accessories piled up. After Liu Qinghuan came in with Chitaoqingzhi, it was so crowded that it was as if she couldn't breathe smoothly. She frowned, turned around and said to the two girls: "This place is too small, you should wait for me outside. If you feel bored, you can go downstairs and listen to a little song."

"This..." The two maids stood there falteringly, still refusing to leave. Seeing their hesitation, Liu Qinghuan said again: "It's okay, I won't delay too long."

"Your servant understands." Chitao Qingzhi bowed her head in response, and retreated outside the door. As soon as the two girls went out, there were two "dong dong" sounds from the small window of the room. Hu Ji went up to open the window, and a figure slid in like a fish.

"Ulala." Pengpeng stood still in the room and waved to Liu Qinghuan. Liu Qinghuan smiled perfunctorily at him, walked up to Hu Ji and said, "Hurry up and get ready, there is no time."

Hu Ji took off the mask from her face, and covered her mouth with some hesitation: "Oh, I really can't believe it, are you really planning to do this?"

Pengpeng put his hands on her shoulders, making her turn her head to look at herself: "Anaye, do you really want to marry Zhou Jinjin as the fourteenth concubine?"

"No." Anaye shook her head firmly, "He will definitely get tired of me soon, and then sell me to someone else." Thinking of being sold around, Anaye's eyes turned red.

Seeing the beautiful pear blossoms with rain, Peng Peng immediately comforted him: "Then trust us!"

Liu Qinghuan looked at the two barbarians in front of him, and twitched the corners of his mouth. In fact, they can wait until Zhou Jinjin is really willing to pay her to be the fourteenth concubine before worrying about it. And as far as she knew, Zhou Jinjin's thirteen concubines were all Han Chinese, and he went to Pingkang Fang more often than the restaurants in West Market. But she didn't say these words, but urged: "I really don't have time."

Anaye wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then drove Peng Peng out of the window. She looked Liu Qinghuan up and down, and began to dress her up. Putting on a light gauze dress and leather boots for her, and putting on the orchid's rich makeup, after Liu Qinghuan put on the veil, she really looked like a barbarian.

Anaye looked at her and let out a low cry in disbelief, she walked over and knocked on the window, and Peng Peng slid in like a fish again. Liu Qinghuan blinked at him, and quickly turned around on the spot, and suddenly the long skirt, scarf and brocade belt danced with her, and Peng Peng froze in place.

"Oh, Shanshan Mani, Ulala, you are so beautiful!" Pengpeng walked around her, not losing to Anaye at all. But he looked at it and became worried. If that pervert Zhou Jinjin really took advantage of Wu Lala later, he would not be able to apologize to Lord Hou even if he died ten times!

"Uh, that..." He scratched his hair and asked Liu Qinghuan, "When you see Zhou Jinjin later, how are you going to deal with it?"

"I have my own way." Liu Qinghuan seemed to feel that his current appearance was very novel, and kept looking at himself through the bronze mirror. Pengpeng hesitated for a moment, then hesitated and said: "I think Zhou Jinjin will still fall in love with you, how about... let's think of another way?"

Liu Qinghuan turned her head and glanced at him with a half-smile: "For example, you helped Anaye redeem herself?"

Pengpeng was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and stopped talking, Anaye glanced at him, and then lowered his head. Liu Qinghuan coughed, interrupting the dullness in the room: "Don't worry, I will be able to take care of Zhou Jinjin, now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone came and told Anaye to leave. Liu Qinghuan patted her on the shoulder reassuringly, opened the door and walked out. Holding a pair of cymbals in his hand, Peng Peng followed Liu Qinghuan into the Kucha band. When they went downstairs, Liu Qinghuan looked around the shop, Chitao and Qingzhi were sitting in the corner listening to the music fascinated.
