I'll go get rid of the bad smell on my body first. Guo Shao looked at the second sister's messy hair and said, "I'll come find you later."
Fu Ermei watched him turn around, hummed, and didn't turn around for a long time.
Fu Jinzhan saw this and suddenly felt that for a person, no matter how many people are around him, his or her eyes are focused on only one person for a period of time; the others are just a kind of environment and identity, just like the teapot and teacups on the table that make up the scene in front of him, but he will not pay attention to the teapot and teacups. This is not indifference, just like Fu Jinzhan herself respects her father Fu Yanqing, but she does not miss her father every day and every hour, and even when they meet, she may not pay the most attention to her father, it may be the sixth sister or someone else. There is always someone she pays the most attention to at that time.
But now she is just a teacup, both in the eyes of her second sister and in the eyes of Guo Shao.
In the past, Fu Jinzhan believed that Guo Shao favored people like her, so he loved his second sister who looked very similar to him. But now she doubted this causal relationship. No matter how much the second sister looked like her, she was her. Fu Jinzhan could not feel the feelings of her biological sister.
Last night, Fu Jinzhan fell asleep alone, but she was full of expectations, looking forward to a happy day with Guo Shao today. She even imagined how she would ride and laugh on the grass, how she would listen to his novel but insightful talk while dining in the palace, and then he would whisper some affectionate words. Fu Jinzhan expected his focused and admiring eyes and his low and trembling voice to move her, so that she could not wait to devote herself and indulge in the clouds.
And now, Fu Jinzhan felt very uncomfortable.
But she didn't show it, and took her second sister to a living room with a normal look, and asked her to sit in front of the dressing table. Maybe Fu Jinzhan's emotions could still be detected from her eyes, but generally no one stared at her eyes carefully.
Fu Jinzhan personally tied up the second sister's hair. The second sister looked in the mirror and muttered: "Big sister is really something. She can't even do her hair."
Normally, other people comb my hair. Fu Jinzhan smiled.
The second sister said: "Eldest sister seems to be very bad at all women's crafts, and she has not learned needlework at all."
Fu Jinzhan said absentmindedly: "Why should I learn needlework? Do I have to sew clothes by myself to wear them?" She turned around and saw the attendant Mu Shanggong at the door, so she called out to her, "Come and help Madam Guo to dress up and wash her face."
Yes, Queen Mother. Mu Shanggong came up.
I'll wait for you outside, Fu Jinzhan said.
She walked out of the palace and paced back and forth for a few steps. Then she left quickly. Not long after, she saw Cao Tai in front of a door. Cao Tai bowed hurriedly and said: "Greetings, Queen Mother."
Fu Jinzhan, a palace maid serving General Guo, asked calmly.
Cao Taidao: Yes.
Fu Jinzhan said unhappily: I thought you had done a good job. Cao Tai was stunned and said hurriedly: Damn you, I didn't think it through. I called them out immediately.
Soon, two palace maids came out cautiously. Fu Jinzhan looked at Cao Tai and said: Take him away.
After a while, Fu Jinzhan turned back slightly and walked in quickly. She saw Guo Shaogang taking off his coat and standing in front of a steaming wooden vat. He was very sensitive and immediately turned around and found Fu Jinzhan.
Fu Jinzhan closed the door with her backhand, unbolted the bolt, and her face felt a little hot.
Guo Shao looked from behind Fu Jinzhan, towards the door, his eyes resting on the door bolt, and whispered: Didn't I tell Jinzhan that as long as you want it, even if you want to ascend the throne to be the emperor, I can help you? Why did I mention the soldiers shouting "Long live the emperor" just now? I don't want power so much, but I can feel at ease when power is in our hands.
What do I want? Fu Jinzhan looked at Guo Shao with a dazed look and gradually approached. He was holding a coat in his hand, not knowing whether to put it on or continue to take it off, and his face looked a little nervous.
Guo Shao stood there motionless, silent, completely ignoring Fu Jinzhan's question. But when Fu Jinzhan asked this question, it reminded him of what Guo Shao had said when they met alone in Tokyo more than ten days ago: I just want to see Jinzhan happy, like to see you smile, and I'm also wondering what a woman like Jinzhan wants.
It was all because Fu Jinzhan had a good memory. She remembered every word of his tone and eyes clearly. Without any warning, Fu Jinzhan was full of expectations again. Guo Shao would never let himself down, and he would think about what he wanted.
Fu Jinzhan felt her heartbeat quickening.
Jinzhan. Guo Shao called her after a while. "Hmm." Fu Jinzhan looked at his firm, beautiful, rough lips and responded softly.
Guo Shao's voice said: Do you remember the time when your brother Fu Zhaoxu came to Tokyo? Li Yun killed Li Jixun's son, and Zhaoxu presented the head to Tokyo.
Remember. Fu Jinzhan listened to him obediently and responded at the right time.
Guo Shao said: There are three of us in the palace, and you deliberately ignored me. Why? Because you feel guilty and are afraid that your brother will find out something strange.
Fu Jinzhan said nothing. She recalled that it really happened. She didn't expect that he could still remember such a trivial thing.
Guo Shaodao: Fu Zhaoxu is easy to deal with. Men often think about big and abstract things, such as those invisible and intangible things like great principles, but they often lack intuition. The second sister is much more difficult than the eldest brother Fu. She is not stupid, just naive, but she is not without feelings. She is even more thoughtful than you and me.
Guo Shao said softly: I have no way to hide it from her, I can only concentrate on her, especially in front of Jinzhan. Do you understand what I am saying
Fu Jinzhan raised her eyebrows slightly. She had to admit that almost no one could comfort herself with a few words, but Guo Shao could.
Jinzhan had too much rouge on her lips today, and even the teacup was left with red lip marks on the horse farm, Guo Shao said.
When Fu Jinzhan heard the last sentence, she was completely convinced that there were ghosts in this world. Guo Shao himself said very funny that men's mouths should not be trusted. The unpleasantness of the whole morning had drifted away. She said quietly: I don't want to compete with my second sister. I have always given in to her since I was a child. But as long as you are in Tokyo, my second sister can get close to you at any time; but if I want to see you, I have to spend a lot of time to arrange everything.
Guo Shao stretched out his hand and gently placed it on her lower back. This action almost made them hug each other, but Fu Jinzhan felt that she still had something to say, and she wanted to look at Guo Shao's face when she spoke, so she leaned back a little, and in order to maintain her body balance, she deliberately pushed forward her chest, which was held tightly by her top.
Fu Jinzhan saw Guo Shao's eyes looking down, so she also looked down in the direction of his gaze, and her face immediately turned red. Guo Shao's hand was on her lower back, and her hand was on the back of Guo Shao's hand. At this time, she pulled out her hand and placed it on Guo Shao's chest, and said softly: The bright sunshine, the beautiful green grass in Beiyuan, the vigorous horses, the most gorgeous place in Dongjing City, it is really a happy day. Fu Jinzhan moved her fingers to Guo Shao's lips, exhaling sweetly, what are you waiting for? Unexpectedly, after a moment, she looked at Guo Shao anxiously and said: Wait, take off your clothes first, don't get my smell on you.
After a long time, the door suddenly opened with a creak, but the wooden door was blocked by the bolt. Fu Ermei's voice said: Husband, open the door!
Fu Jinzhan turned around, her hands still tightly covering her mouth. Guo Shao and she looked at each other, and their faces suddenly changed. He looked at the door and said, "I haven't finished washing yet. Second sister, go over and sit down first. I'll be there in a while."
The second sister said: Open the door first, I want to come in.
Fu Jinzhan stepped out of the barrel carefully, held up her clothes to cover her body, and looked around without saying a word. The second sister's voice said again: If you don't open the door, I will be angry.
Jinzhan was bending over to pick up her shoes, and she brought a stool to the wall, then walked over and drew the curtain to hide inside. She stood on the stool and put away her jade feet, and suddenly nothing could be seen. Seeing this, Guo Shao said with a stiff face: I'll open the door right away, don't worry, there's no one outside.
The second sister said: No, I’m alone.
Guo Shao stood up and covered himself with his robe, then walked over and unbolted the door. Fu Ermei immediately came in and scanned the room. Guo Shao said nothing.
Fu Ermei only took a glance and didn't look at it any more. Guo Shao closed the door, threw his robe on the chair, and washed his body in the bathtub.
My husband takes so long to take a bath. Fu Ermei sat down on the chair and asked softly.
Guo Shaodao: Boiling water also takes time.
The second sister said in a trembling voice: I thought there were palace maids serving you, and you couldn’t help but do something bad in there.
Guo Shao didn't know how to face his second sister, so he pretended to concentrate on washing his arms and said: After all, we are in the palace, and it is not good for a minister from the outer court to be so unscrupulous.
You know, I am not a jealous woman, and I won't mind you getting close to other women. Fu Ermei lowered her head and said, she looked very sad and pitiful.
I, Guo Shao, was hesitant to speak.
Fu Ermei looked at Guo Shao's face with sparkling eyes. After waiting for a while, she stood up and said: I will wait for you in the north hall, where we talked with my eldest sister before.
"Okay," Guo Shao said, bowing his head.
Fu Ermei went out alone. Guo Shao waited for a long time before walking over, standing by the door for a while, and then bolted it.
There was a sound of wood. The curtain moved, and Fu Jinzhan seemed to be using it to wipe her body. After a while, she came out wearing underwear. Neither of them spoke. Fu Jinzhan glanced at the wet footprints on the wooden floor and whispered: Second sister already understood.
Guo Shaodao: I can see that too. Why doesn't she lift the curtain
Fu Jinzhan whispered: "My second sister won't embarrass me." Maybe she was also convincing herself that the person hiding inside was a palace maid.
Guo Shao said in a deep voice: How should I tell her
Fu Jinzhan pursed her red lips, her face showing shame and sadness, and she did not speak for a long time.
