The Stratagem of the Concubine of the Cold King

Chapter 32
After coiling her hair, Lian Xin picked up another green jade hairpin and stuck it in the Suiyun bun.

"Miss, you are so beautiful."

After Xi Wanqing finished dressing, Mo Yu looked at his young lady in the mirror and couldn't help but praise her.

"That's right, miss is really beautiful today, no worse than second miss, third miss and fourth miss." Lian Xin also echoed.

When Xi Wanqing heard about it, she teased the two of them: "You two little girls only know how to tease me when they watch movies."

Mo Yu rolled his eyes, and slandered that the young lady called them little girls before she was too young.

After Xi Wanqing finished speaking, she turned to Lian Xin: "Wait for me to tell the Second Sister, Third Sister, and Fourth Sister what I just said, and see how they deal with you."

Lian Xin was so frightened that her little face turned pale, and she immediately said wronged: "Miss, isn't Lian Xin just to praise you?"

"Hehe..." Seeing that Lian Xin looked like a pissed off daughter-in-law, Xi Wanqing couldn't help laughing anymore, and with this laugh, Mo Yu also laughed.

Lian Xin looked at the two of them, and said softly: "Okay, Sister Mo, you and Miss bully me together, see if I don't hit you."

Inside the house, Lian Xin chased and beat Mo Yu, and the three master and servant enjoyed themselves happily.

After washing up and having breakfast, Xi Wanqing took the female virtues that the lady had punished for copying that day, and took Mo Yu and Lian Xin to Taoyuan.

Xi Wanqing walked steadily in front of the two servant girls. She was wearing a purple-blue emerald smoke skirt today. The hem of the skirt just reached the ground. It was covered with a purple gauze, and the belt of the same color was lightly tied into a bow. Except for the jade hairpin on the head, there was no embellishment on the whole body. Although the dress was half old and not new, it looked clean and neat, which was better than simplicity and generosity.

The three of them had just entered Taoyuan when they met Xi Zhuhua leading Lianqiao walking towards this side.

Xi Wanqing stopped, and retreated to the side of the road. When Xi Zhuhua approached, she slightly bent her body and saluted Xi Zhuhua: "Qing'er has seen the fourth sister."

Xi Zhuhua also stopped, looked sideways at Xi Wanqing, and saw Xi Wanqing standing on the side of the road, giving the whole road to himself.

She lowered her head very low, on the surface she looked the same as before, both timid and cowardly.

Originally, Xi Zhuhua suspected that Xi Wanqing was pretending to be crazy, but looking at her now, she was really timid, and there was not even a trace of camouflage. Xi Zhuhua really didn't know that she was being careless , or Xi Wanqing hid it too well.

Xi Zhuhua is not stupid, he was not sure whether Xi Wanqing was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid, so he became more careful, put away his impulsive temper, and saw her Zhang Kai smiled and said, "Fifth Sister, I'm going to visit my mother."

Xi Wanqing carefully raised her head to look at Xi Zhuhua, then lowered her head again, her eyes full of timidity, seeing Xi Zhuhua's expression bright, she said softly: "Last time my younger sister annoyed my fourth elder sister, my mother punished my younger sister to copy Female Virtue, my younger sister is blunt, and I was able to finish copying it today, and I am planning to send it to my mother for examination."

When Xi Zhuhua thought of that incident, she felt annoyed. It was because of Xi Wanqing that she was punished by the Da Furen to copy female virtues.

She gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart, but her face still maintained a smile: "That's a coincidence, my sister just finished copying the one hundred female virtues yesterday, so I plan to send it to my mother for examination today. Since you and my sister met Come on, let's go see mother together."

Xi Wanqing raised her head vigorously, widened her eyes, and looked at Xi Zhuhua with clean eyes, and said with great joy: "Fourth sister, don't blame my sister."

Seeing Xi Wanqing's innocent and silly expression, Xi Zhuhua's eyes flashed with disgust, and then said: "You and I are real sisters, so it's just a small fight, how can a sister remember her sister's revenge."

After finishing speaking, Xi Zhuhua casually took Xi Wanqing's hand, and the two walked slowly towards Taoyuan.

The two walked side by side, and saw Xi Zhuhua's corner of his eye, a ruthless look bulged up, and all of this ruthless look was caught in Xi Wanqing's eyes.

Xi Wanqing let Xi Zhuhua hold her hand, pretending to be stupid and stunned, pretending to be sisters, who wouldn't.

Came outside Tao Yuan, today is Qiu Tao on duty.

Xi Zhuhua said warmly: "Miss Qiutao, my fifth younger sister and I came to greet mother, it is convenient for mother to see us now."

Qiu Tao respectfully replied: "Miss Fourth, please wait a while, and the servant girl will go in and report to Madam."

"Let Si and Wu come in." Just as Qiu Tao was about to enter the room to report, the voice of the eldest lady came from inside the room.

"Miss Si, please come in." Qiu Tao asked Xi Zhuhua alone, but never saw Xi Wanqing from the beginning to the end, Xi Wanqing was completely ignored.

Xi Wanqing didn't mind either, and followed Xi Zhuhua into the inner room. As soon as the two arrived at the door, a little maid opened the curtain to let them in.

She remembered that last time she brought Lian Xin to Taoyuan, but no one opened the curtain for her. She was also a concubine, so Xi Zhuhua's status was much higher than hers.

Mo Yu followed closely behind Xi Wanqing, seeing his young lady being ignored, frowned, extremely displeased.

Inside the Da Furen's room, cigarettes were curling up at this moment, and the incense was lit with high-quality sandalwood.

The eldest lady sat on the carved chair, while Mrs. Lin and Qiuqin stood on one side, serving them closely.

"Hua'er, Qing'er, pay respects to mother." The two approached, and at the same time slightly bent their bodies to give the eldest lady a blessing.

"My servant pays my respects to Madam." Lian Xin and Lian Qiao knelt down, they were maidservants born in the Marquis of An Guo's family, so they knelt down naturally when they met Da Furen.

"Mo Yu has seen Madam." Mo Yu was full of heroism, knelt on one knee, squatted on the ground, and saluted the eldest lady, with unyielding eyes.

The eldest lady raised her eyebrows lazily, and said with a graceful face: "It's all free." Then she looked at Xi Zhuhua and Xi Wanqing and said, "The fourth girl and the fifth girl have a heart."

"Hey, this girl looks very familiar." Suddenly, the eldest lady looked away, and turned to Mo Yu who retreated to the side.

Then the eldest lady said again: "Fourth girl, this is your maid."

Xi Zhuhua had already noticed that Mo Yu was just a servant girl, and she didn't bother to care about it. At this time, when the eldest lady asked about it, she replied, "Mother, this is the servant girl next to Fifth Younger Sister."

Xi Wanqing lowered her head when she entered the room, and now that Xi Zhuhua had spotted her, she raised her head timidly to see the face of the eldest lady, and said, "Mother... Mother, Qing'er feels that Ziyuexuan is short of manpower. , Lian Xin couldn't handle it alone, so she ordered Lian Xin to go to Yachang to buy a maid."

She continued to stir the handkerchief with her hands, showing great uneasiness.

The eldest lady pondered for a moment, then looked at Xi Wanqing with a pair of probing eyes.

Under the probing gaze of the eldest lady, Xi Wanqing was extremely calm in her heart. If this gaze wanted to destroy her mind, then she was not Xi Wanqing, and she still showed a look of fear of being punished by adults and being uneasy.
