The princess is coquettish and coquettish, conquering the emperor's master

Chapter 17 To be Xiao Yan's concubine?
Lu Youzhu's hair accessories are simple, with only one bead hairpin left to easily pull it up, a little loose.

She stretched out her hand to shake hands with Meng Qing, but for a moment in the air, Meng Qing didn't know what she was going to do.

So Lu Youzhu could only withdraw his hand in embarrassment.

"What is the shopkeeper's name?"

Meng Qing asked.

Lu Youzhu spoke freely, "My surname is Lu, just call me Shopkeeper Lu."

"Okay, Shopkeeper Lu."

Suzhou and Yunhe stood beside Meng Qing, one on the left and the other on the right, especially Suzhou, who looked like a living Hades staring straight at Lu Youzhu.

Seeing this battle, Lu Youzhu could guess at a glance that the girl in front of her was either rich or noble.

Vicious little guards are common, so it's not surprising, and the maid next to the little guard, although a little older at first glance, shows rules and arrogance in her gestures and gestures.

Thinking about it, it is a big family, and the official rank in the family is not lower than the third rank.

When Lu Youzhu first came to Chu, he was not very familiar with it. He made some good friends and worked hard on his own to create the current Suiyunxuan.

Now, she is in a predicament and urgently needs to curry favor with a powerful official family.

"Girl can open it and try it out. If you are not satisfied, please follow me to the cabinet. You can try out all kinds of styles. If you choose something you are satisfied with, I will give it to the girl today."

Meng Qing was surprised, "Send them all to me? Isn't that bad?"

After all, she is also a princess of a country, and she doesn't want to take advantage of others.

Unexpectedly, Lu Youzhu took her hand graciously, and put it on, "What's so good about it? The girl and I hit it off at first sight, and when we looked at it from a distance, we felt very close. I guess it was a fate cultivated in the previous life. As long as you like it, it doesn't matter if Suiyunxuan sends you off?"

"..."

so generous?

Meng Qing had reason to suspect that she had other plans.

She looked sideways, Su Zhou's eyes were really on the two of them, and she refused to move away for a moment.

Suddenly, she thought of a good way.

Meng Qing looked at her and smiled, "Yeah! I'll just say it! I just saw shopkeeper Lu and felt very kind. I was afraid that shopkeeper Lu thought I was trying to get close to him. I didn't expect shopkeeper Lu to have the same intention."

Yunhe: "..."

The two of you talked to each other, inexplicably feeling a strong sense of trickery...

"That's right! Sure enough, a woman's sixth sense is accuracy!"

"Ah? Sixth what?"

New words came out of Lu Youzhu's mouth one by one, and Meng Qing couldn't understand any of them.

And what is the direct connection between the intimacy they mentioned and the sixth sense?

"Nothing! I mean, we have a similar instinct!"

"Oh, like this……"

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll take you in and have a look!"

After finishing speaking, she immediately greeted Meng Qing to go to the cabinet.

The bead curtains were lifted lightly, and they made a bright and crisp sound when they collided.

Meng Qing stepped into the cabinet, just as Su Zhou and Yun He were about to go in together, they were suddenly stopped by Lu Youzhu.

Su Zhou's face was gloomy, and there was a chill in his eyes.

"Stop me for what?"

Yun He echoed: "Yeah, what are you doing to stop us? If there is something wrong with our girl, can you take the blame?"

Sure enough, it was an old man in the palace, and his speaking style was different, which directly made Lu Youzhu change his mind.

She said: "You can go in, but this little brother can't."

Su Zhou stood around his chest, looking down at her condescendingly.

"Why?"

Lu Youzhu curled her lips, "It's all my daughter's home stuff inside, and the smell of powder is very strong, and there are often officials from Yujing City who try on makeup in there. If you don't mind, brother, then go in."

She made a way out, just waiting for Su Zhou to retreat in the face of difficulties.

Sure enough, she didn't expect it.

"Forget it, I'll wait outside."

Seeing him compromise, Lu Youzhu hid his smile and went in slowly.

The carved water chestnut door was ajar, and Meng Qing could be vaguely seen kneeling and sitting in front of the mirror stand, trying them out one by one.

Lu Youzhu stepped forward and knelt down.

"How does the girl feel?"

Meng Qing didn't answer, she poked her little head out.

"He didn't follow?"

Lu Youzhu shook his head, "No, men are forbidden here, he can't come in."

Hearing this, Meng Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you afraid of him?"

Meng Qing hesitated for a while, just as she was thinking about what to say, suddenly a light flashed in her head.

She nodded reluctantly, but before the three of them didn't notice, she lowered her eyes and stopped talking.

From the gap between the long eyelashes, I can see that the eyes are full of teardrops, and the lips are tightly closed, allowing the tears to drip unscrupulously down the cheeks and onto the back of Xiaobai's hands.

Lu Youzhu was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked, "You...girl, why are you crying?"

Yunhe stood at a loss.

"No, it's nothing, it's just some family affairs that should not be treated by outsiders."

"What kind of family affairs will make you so sad, girl? Why don't you tell me, girl?"

Meng Qing pretended to sob a few times, and said softly: "I'm not going to lie to shopkeeper Lu, in fact... In fact, my family background is not low, but my father was unbelievable and busy for half his life, so he finally sold me to Mr. Xiao as a concubine in exchange for an official job. I didn't want to marry him, but my father's fate is hard to break. Tomorrow is the day when Mrs. Xiao and I are happy. Today Mrs. Xiao allowed me to go out of the house and buy some things for the wedding day..."

"Teacher Xiao was worried about me, so he asked the little brother outside to watch me in case I took the opportunity to escape. But shopkeeper Lu, do you know that he is more terrifying than Taifu Xiao, he often threatens me, and even threatens me to obey him, but after all, I am a woman from a good family, how can I be slaughtered..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Youzhu yelled at the case angrily.

"What! How unreasonable! Look at him, he looks like a dog, why is he not as good as a beast?"

"..."

Yunhe: "..."

Meng Qing wiped away her tears, crying until the pear blossoms rained down, feeling very sad and bleak.

"Don't get excited, shopkeeper Lu. This matter is just a matter of the Xiao mansion's inner house. It has nothing to do with others. I told you today that I regard shopkeeper Lu as someone close to me, so I am willing to tell you about it. I hope shopkeeper Lu will not regard me as a lowly concubine and look down on me!"

"How could it be! All things in the world are created equal, and you didn't become a concubine voluntarily, so why are you so humble?"

She was indignant and wished she could rush out to seek justice for Meng Qing.

"Shopkeeper Lu doesn't dislike me, I'm content..."

Yun He was dumbfounded, but seeing his master working so hard, he couldn't help crying and knelt down on the ground.

"That's right! My girl is too miserable! After all, she is a lady from a famous family, how can she be a concubine for Mrs. Xiao... Mrs. Xiao!"

Lu Youzhu hurriedly took out an embroidered handkerchief from his sleeve, and gently wiped away Meng Qing's tears.

"Poor thing, if the girl still has any wish, you might as well say it, You Zhu will do her best to make it for the girl!"

After listening, Meng Qing's eyes lit up immediately.

"really?"

"Ah."

Meng Qing grabbed Lu Youzhu's palm as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

"I do have one wish."

"You said."

"I want to see my mother again! My mother was abandoned by my father and lives in a seclusion in the backyard. The only wish in this life is to see her again and tell her that I am about to get married!"
