Chapter 97

It's extremely cold this winter, and the charcoal fire is weak in the early morning. People who are frozen don't want to get up.

Dressed in a light blue dress with grey mouse hair on the collar, Jiang Mingwei sits in front of the dressing mirror and is made up by a maid. She carefully looked at the person in the mirror. Recently, she was a little fat, and her cheeks were no longer sunken. Mrs. Jiang and her maids were very satisfied. However, Jiang Mingwei herself felt too fat and had a big face. In addition, I didn't sleep very well last night, and my eyes were swollen. I didn't feel energetic and didn't catch people.

Jiang Mingwei can only let the servant girl reuse powder pressure, try to paint white face, highlight features. She looked at her make-up and suddenly thought of something and asked, "what's going on next door recently?"

Jiang Mingwei is really upset about this. She asks every other day. At the beginning, the servant girls actively participated in it. Later, they were asked more questions. When they heard Jiang Mingwei's questions, they were terrified.

They really don't know what Jiang Mingwei wants to hear.

All the servant girls were dumb with their heads down. The most respectable big servant girl had no choice but to say tentatively, "I haven't heard anything special. It's so cold this winter that many people don't go out. In recent months, even Princess an hasn't gone out. "

After listening, Jiang Mingwei was not very satisfied. She didn't know what she wanted to hear, but in any case, it should not be mu Mingtang's unresponsive answer.

During this period of time, King Jin's residence is noisy and busy. Jiang Mingwei is rarely proud of it. She is waiting for it to be spread to Mu Mingtang, so that Mu Mingtang can have a taste of envy and jealousy. However, she secretly noticed for a month or two that Prince an's house was as quiet as ever. Jiang Mingwei couldn't help asking the servant girls. She only heard them say that Mu Mingtang never went out, and even didn't show up in recent months.

Not showing up for a month. What are you doing next door?

Jiang Mingwei was not reconciled. After a while, she asked unintentionally, "what about King an?"

"King Ann?" The servant girls looked at each other and said in a low voice, "king an has never been mentioned. It should be nothing special."

It's even more strange. Jiang Mingwei frowns more and more. During this period of time, the emperor clearly supported Xie Xuanji, and Mu Mingtang and his wife had nothing to do. It's understandable that Xie xuanchen didn't do anything? Did he not panic?

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Mingwei didn't quite understand what the couple next door were doing. How could they be more mysterious than each other. This time, the maid has already made up for Jiang Mingwei. Jiang Mingwei looks around and is generally satisfied, so she takes out her earrings and wears them by herself.

This pair of earrings was given to her by Xie Xuanji. Jiang Mingwei has always regarded them as a respectable wife. They are usually not allowed to be touched by others. They are worn and picked by themselves. She put on one side, turned her head to put on the other side of the earrings, and asked, "where's the Lord?"

Jiang Mingwei did not specifically say title, her mouth of the Lord is Xie Xuanji. The servant girls on both sides of the house were silent unconsciously. The biggest servant girl held her heart and said carefully: "the prince stayed in Wanyan side imperial concubine's yard yesterday. Today, people have heard that the side imperial concubine will come later to say hello. If the princess has been waiting for a long time, let's have dinner first. "

After that, everyone was silent. Jiang Mingwei snorted coldly. She looked at herself carefully dressed in the mirror and suddenly felt dispirited.

What's the use of it? Today is the 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. She's dressed elegantly. On the one hand, she's calming those restless women, and on the other hand, she's also a woman's face to please herself. But Xie Xuanji specially sent someone to speak for Yan duo. The side imperial concubine will come later, why she can get up late, is not the matter that everybody knows well.

Jiang Mingwei's face obviously turned worse. The maids didn't dare to get moldy. They were all on duty. At this time, there is a servant girl outside to report the news, and aunt Lian comes to ask for help.

The 15th day of the first day of junior high school is a big day. Xie Xuanji wants to stay in the main room. Even these two mornings are the main days. All concubines will come to greet Jiang Mingwei. Jiang Mingwei has the heart to take care of her main room. Every day, she asks her concubine to make rules for her. However, on the 15th day of the first day of junior high school, there is no doubt that the rules are the most strict.

No one dares to ask for leave these two days.

Jiang Mingwei condescends and nods, and the servant girl leads Lian Han in. Lianhan was still an invincible concubine last year, but she lost her favor this year. When lianhan's momentum is most prosperous, she dares to bid farewell to Jiang Mingwei, and even wants to divide Jiang Mingwei's housekeeper power. Now Feng Shui turns in turn, favor turns to the foreign side of the imperial concubine, pity Han out of favor, this just want to please Jiang Mingwei.

No doubt Jiang Mingwei is very contemptuous about this, but after the happy, there is also a kind of detailed sorrow.

Lianhan had been so spoiled that she came to such an end. How about a few years later?

Jiang Mingwei with indescribable sigh, see lianhan rare, not too difficult. Not long after that, the concubines who were famous in the mansion came to Qi one after another. Lianhan looked around and asked: "why is the concubine late today?"

Lianhan said this sentence specially for Jiang Mingwei. Of course, lianhan knew that the princess was gnashing her teeth at the side princess who was favored and had a background. Lianhan wants to please Jiang Mingwei. If Jiang Mingwei is inconvenient to say something, she shouts.

After lianhan's voice came out, everyone was quiet. Jiang Mingwei stroked her fingernails and said faintly: "the prince just sent a message. It's inconvenient for her to come later. Well, let's not wait for them. Let's set the mealAll the women in this room are experienced in human affairs. What do you don't understand when you hear this. Lianhan is annoyed that she has said something wrong. Next, when she gives Jiang Mingwei a dish, she is very attentive.

Wives and concubines are like a natural moat. Concubines are no longer in favor. They are not qualified to sit down in front of their wives. When they eat in the main room, they also need to stand on one side to serve tea, water and food for their mother.

But today lianhan hasn't begun to play. There's a sound from outside. The women in the room stand up when they hear the voice: "the Lord is coming."

With the decline of her voice, a servant girl's greeting came from outside. Jiang Mingwei immediately welcomed her. Xie Xuanji lifts the curtain and enters. Jiang Mingwei sees Huanhuan calling "Lord Wang". Before she smiles, she sees Xie Xuanji turn around and help another person behind her.

Jiang Mingwei smile gradually faded, wanyanduo saw Jiang Mingwei, bow salute: "princess."

"It's the side concubine." Jiang Mingwei's tone is also very cold, said, "everyone wait for side imperial concubine for a long time, come in quickly."

Xie Xuanji is here, so the breakfast should be adjusted naturally. Jiang Mingwei led Xie Xuanji to a seat and explained: "I thought the LORD would not come to me for breakfast today, so I asked them to set the meal first. Please forgive me for neglecting you. "

Xie Xuanji waved his hand and said it's OK. Jiang Mingwei pleaded guilty again and sat down next to Xie Xuanji.

A room of Yingyan, except Xie Xuanji are women, but only Jiang Mingwei and Wan yanduo are qualified to sit down. In fact, wanyanduo was not qualified, but she was a foreign princess, and had the title of side imperial concubine, so she could sit on the table.

Just now, the dead concubines came back to life in an instant, and each of them competed to serve each other. Some of them set their eyes on WAN yanduo. All the women in the backyard knew that the Lord wanted water last night. To ask for water means to accept the favor. Now there are so many people in the backyard, and one person can't take turns in a day. Jiang Mingwei's wife has only two days, but wan yanduo can occupy her for several nights. All the concubines look at her with envy.

Wanyanduo don't know, the whole process indifferent to eat. After dinner, after several people washed their hands one after another, Xie Xuanji suddenly talked about things outside: "the new year is coming. This year, natural disasters continue. My father wants to hold a big new year's Eve banquet. He wants to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new year, and make the new year happy for three days in a row."

Jiang Mingwei was not surprised to hear that. This winter, she did not worry. So far, the disaster victims in Beijing have not settled down. Since ancient times, the imperial court has always attached great importance to ghosts and gods. It is not difficult to understand that the emperor wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of bad luck.

Jiang Mingwei nodded and said, "I wrote it down. Besides new year's Eve and the first day, is there anything else to pay attention to? "

Xie Xuanji is now the emperor's most important son. At this banquet, Jiang Mingwei is the focus of the public. Of course, we should not be careless.

Xie Xuanji slightly pause, obscure way: "recently, it seems that for a long time no second brother movement."

Jiang Mingwei can't help but wring her eyebrows when she hears this. It's a coincidence that she just said that the couple next door. Why did Xie Xuanji ask?

Jiang Mingwei doesn't know whether it's a coincidence or Xie Xuanji's intentional beating, so she doesn't answer for a moment. On the contrary, when Wan yanduo heard it, he said: "yes, it's a long time since Wang'an and princess'an have come out for activities. I don't know if they are all right. People outside can't hear anything. It's really worrying. "

Xie Xuanji looked at wanyanduo admiringly, nodded and said, "yes, I mean the same thing. My father specially told me to pay more attention to my second brother's condition. Now I haven't seen my elder brother go out of the house for a long time. It's hard for me to feel at ease. Why don't we take advantage of the new year to have a look. If there's any explanation from my second brother, we can help each other. "

Jiang Mingwei only then responded. Originally, the emperor suspected Xie Xuan Chen, once the eye liner that once buried in an Wang mansion has been folded, so want to let Xie Xuan Ji explore the false and real in the past. Jiang Mingwei glanced at Wan yanduo secretly and unhappily, holding the magnanimity of the main room, and said, "what the LORD said is true. I haven't seen my sister-in-law for a while, and I miss her very much. It's better to run into the sun than choose a day. It's time to pay respects to my sister-in-law today. "

Now in Yulin hall, Mu Mingtang has just got up.

She kneaded her waist and really didn't have the strength to get up. Xie xuanchen is more and more unrestrained in eating pith and taste. Mu Mingtang is very tired and comatose every time. When he wakes up the next day, his waist and legs are aching.

Yesterday, Xie xuanchen was too much. As soon as Mu Mingtang woke up, he couldn't use his waist at all. Xie xuanchen said that he helped her rub it, and it changed her taste. She resisted powerlessly and was pressed and kneaded by Haosheng for a while. She didn't get up until this hour.

Mu Mingtang leans in front of the dresser to make up her hair and yawns while covering her mouth. When the maids see that the princess's eyes are foggy and weak, they all blush and dare not look again.

Mu Mingtang didn't pay attention to her hair today. She leaned on the dresser with one hand and fell asleep. When she woke up again, she found that there was no sound around her, and the maid who was dressing behind her was long gone, even there was no maid in the whole room.

Xie xuanchen sat beside her, fiddling with the tassels at her temples. Seeing her, she opened her eyes and said with a smile, "wake up?"

As soon as Mu Mingtang saw him, he became angry and closed his eyes in a different direction. He didn't want to talk to him at all.

Xie xuanchen didn't think he was disobedient. He skillfully changed to the other side and asked, "are you really so sleepy? Can you sleep after combing your hair? ""How long did I sleep last night and why I was sleepy, don't you know?"

Xie xuanchen had nothing to say. He gently took Mu Mingtang's waist and asked, "are you still tired?"

Mu Mingtang closed his eyes and didn't want to talk to him. Xie xuanchen feel very unjust, this really can't blame him, just Mu Mingtang need to strengthen exercise. He almost coaxed and said, "OK, blame me. Eat first, then go back to sleep. If you can't sleep, I can accompany you. "

"No Mu Mingtang refused, "I can sleep. I'll go myself."

"How can that work." Xie xuanchen rightfully refused, "I remember the last time I was sleepy, I pulled you to accompany me. Now, if it's you, how can I not repay you? We'll go back to sleep later, and now we'll go to dinner. Yes, you are too sleepy to walk now. I'll hold you

Mu Mingtang was angry and smiling. He opened his eyes and pushed his hand: "come on, let go!"

Xie xuanchen wants to hold her more and more. The tassels on Mu Mingtang's bun have just been loosened by Xie xuanchen. Now Mu Mingtang hides behind, and the tassels are rickety and tottering. They are playing, suddenly heard the maid outside report: "prince, princess, Jin and Jin princess, side princess to."

Voice behind, the tassel finally can't bear, click fell to the ground. Mu Mingtang frowned and murmured to himself, "what are they doing here?"

Xie xuanchen turned a deaf ear, picked up the tassel hairpin around her, and re inserted it into Mu Mingtang's hair: "they don't care, they don't see."
