Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 23 Open and honest

Murong Wei also sighed at this thought.

She can't impose her thoughts on others, and people here may not understand her thoughts.

I'm afraid no one would believe her outrageous thoughts for them.

She couldn't be like the women of this era, looking at her husband with three wives and four concubines, and taking the initiative to arrange women for them. Thinking about this kind of thing made her unbearable.

She doesn't expect a man to have only her as a woman from beginning to end. Even in modern times, everyone loves freely. They have had more than one boyfriend and girlfriend. No one is pure, and it is impossible to force them.

However, if she was with her, she couldn't bear the other woman being with other women.

Murong Wei was silent for a long time, and fell asleep at some point.

In the dead of night, people are on duty in the Xiangyu House tonight, the moonlight shines on the curtains at some point, it is quiet and serene.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed into the boudoir.

Only the horn lamp in front of the bed was still on in the room, emitting a soft light.

Hei Ying stood in the room for a while, admiring the layout of the room, but felt that it was warm and elegant, with the leisure of the owner everywhere.The moon partition bead curtain hangs down, and the curtain hangs down, blocking the girl's bed curtain.

After the black film moment, the bead curtain and the low-hanging soft smoke curtain were lifted, and a beautiful woman was lying in the light yellow gauze curtain in front of her.

His heart beat faster, never before in this life, he kept walking, and immediately opened the curtain.

The voice suddenly woke Murong Wei up, she suddenly opened her eyes, and a beautiful young face suddenly appeared in her sight, but the smile made people feel cold no matter how she looked at it.

man?

No, why is there a man in her room, and this man is not...Xiao Jinglan?

"You, why are you here..." She exclaimed, and his mouth was covered by him suddenly, she stared at him angrily with rounded eyes, and struggled.

"Miss, don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you, I just want to see you very much, so I came here." He said with a smile, his expression was kind and innocent, and he blinked: "Miss is so kind and beautiful, I will definitely not Blame it on me, right?"

Fuck your sister's kindness!

Murong Wei cursed in her heart, in her eyes, this Xiao Jinglan with a pretty face at this moment is simply extremely hateful, his appearance is detestable!

Did he know that it was midnight, did he know, what would happen if someone found out that she had a private meeting with a man at night?
Does this damn bastard do this kind of thing often?
He went on to say: "Miss, don't worry, I tapped the acupoints of the maid in your house, and she will sleep soundly. I let go, I believe you don't want to attract others, right?"

Murong Wei glared at him angrily, but she had to say that it was really impossible for her to attract other people's attention.

Xiao Jinglan let go of her hand covering her mouth, and the next moment she saw Murong Wei sneer: "I didn't know that Mr. Xiao was a person who likes to steal fragrances and jades!"

Xiao Jinglan crossed his arms, with a relaxed posture, and said with a smile: "I'm so honored, I can't afford it. If the lady didn't make me so fascinated, I wouldn't lose my mind and break into the boudoir and disturb the beauty. I really feel ashamed." .”

Murong Wei scolded angrily: "Shameless, Xiao Jinglan, if you want to be two hundred and five, I'm not interested in accompanying you!"

Xiao Jinglan raised his eyebrows, what do you mean?Although he didn't know clearly, he also knew that it was definitely not a good word, "Miss, don't be angry, I know I was rude today. Xiaosheng apologizes." After saying that, he bowed to her.

Murong Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment, and said coldly: "I can't bear your big gift, son, it's best to leave now, that's the best gift for me!"

Xiao Jinglan blinked innocently: "Miss is really angry? Are you really refusing to forgive me?" As she spoke, her face was full of grievances, like a begonia weeping, like a cuckoo crying at night, and took her hand carelessly: "Don't be angry. I'm angry, people really came here because they missed you."

Look at his wronged look, like she did something heinous, please, she is the victim, okay?

It can be seen that the young man in front of him looks aggrieved, he looks like a big Barbie doll, especially his eyes are flickering, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel soft, and what does he mean by that, what do you mean he only came because he missed her?
She was instantly turned blue and red by him, and she was speechless.

Even more helpless to Niu playing the piano, why can't I tell him clearly?
She turned her head, withdrew her hand, with a straight face: "Young master, you are joking, how dare I be angry with you, the second son of Prince Jing's residence."

Xiao Jinglan saw that her tone was not as tough as before, and immediately hit the snake with the stick: "Wei'er, can I call you Wei'er? This name is really beautiful, and only a beauty like you is worthy of such a name. "

Murong Wei's face became hot, and she became angry from embarrassment: "You can go!"

Xiao Mian, play sweet talk with her, she is not a boudoir who doesn't know the world affairs, she has heard a lot of sweet talk in her previous life!

"Why, do you hate me so much? Could it be that you just like that Lu Wen? Who is Lu Wen?"

His black eyes flickered, and there were bursts of flames in his eyes. Today he just wanted to see her. He thought it would be much better to see him, but unexpectedly, his heart was still beating faster. Not only did he not get angry when she scolded him, but he also posted Let her scold her face, is this considered cheap?

Especially when he heard her calling that Lu Wen, he felt a burst of jealousy in his heart, a sour feeling in his heart, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Murong Wei was taken aback, her pupils shrank slightly, and she called Lu Wen's name?
No way, she hadn't thought about that person for a long time.

Her expression was a little stiff, and she sneered and said, "What's the matter with you? Do you think that a weak girl like me will have an affair with a man?"

Hearing what she said, Xiao Jinglan became very angry. Could it be that his guess was right?

But, besides him, is there any other man who dares to enter the boudoir at night?

He didn't believe it, but the sudden jealousy in his heart made him angry: "Murong Wei, you are not allowed to like others. Just wait, I must marry you!"

Murong Wei laughed back angrily: "You're brainless, you broke into my room inexplicably in the middle of the night and asked about my affairs, who are you, are you qualified to control me? Who I like and who I don't like is my business, It's not your turn to take care of it yet. Xiao Jinglan, do you think you are parents?"

They have only met twice from the beginning to the end, but they are better than strangers, why should he say such a thing?

She hasn't questioned him about breaking into her room and ruining her reputation, yet he dares to point fingers at her affairs, what a joke, no matter how she is, Murong Wei is the daughter of the Murong family, and it's not his turn to take care of her!
After hearing her words, Xiao Jinglan suddenly felt that he had lost his composure.

Indeed, what qualifications did she have to say such a thing? To her, he was just a stranger.

But what she said made him angry again, yes, he was wrong, he shouldn't have said such a thing, but her attitude was too hurtful, right?

His expression changed, and he was no longer full of youthful innocence and nonsense like before. His eyes were deep and dark, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, showing a bit of evil: "Why can't I say anything, when I let my mother propose to your family, When the time comes, you will be mine, why am I not qualified to say that?"

Murong Wei saw that his expression had changed, as if he was a different person. At this moment, this handsome and evil boy was completely different from the boy who played the pitiful little white rabbit before. Is this guy a chameleon? He will look the same after a while. Which is him?

She recalled the rumors about this Young Master Xiao. He heard that he was weak and sick since he was a child, and he was raised in Wudang Mountain?

Can a frail and sick person have the ability to break into her boudoir in the middle of the night?

Can a frail person be so good at martial arts?

At this moment, she felt that this guy was unfathomable. He looked like an ignorant child on the outside, but in fact he might be hiding some secrets.

He had only met her twice, why did he keep pestering her so much?

Is there some reason for this that she doesn't know?

Thinking of the secret rumors about Prince Jing's mansion, thinking of his embarrassing situation, and thinking of Murong's family, she guessed, could this guy have some schemes?
She stared at him strangely, and it took a long time before she said: "I finally know what it means to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. Mr. Xiao, I admire you! Tell me, Mr. Xiao, I don't think I can make you fall in love at first sight, you are so entangled What is it for? Ming people don’t speak secretly, and everyone is open and honest, isn’t it great?”

Xiao Jinglan was taken aback, not expecting what she would say.

He gave her a strange look: "Why do you say that? Can't I just fall in love with you at first sight?"

He found that he really couldn't compare her intelligence with her age. A girl of her age had never experienced any major events. It is said that she should have been ashamed or in tears when she was so entangled with a man. Why did she find out so keenly? His question, even hit the nail on the head about his situation.

Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, he couldn't help but chuckle, this word really suits him very well.

Murong Wei mocked slightly: "I'm not as narcissistic as you."

Xiao Jinglan couldn't help laughing anymore, Murong Wei quickly covered his mouth: "You are crazy, do you want to lure others over?"

"Xiao Jinglan, I warn you, don't mess with me!"

Xiao Jinglan laughed lightly, her voice was full of infinite joy, but she saw her cheeks were as gorgeous as peach blossoms, her eyes were as bright as water, and her shy and annoyed appearance looked like a crabapple that had just bloomed, with a kind of extreme burning beauty.

His heart fluttered for a moment, and his eyes became even more gloomy. He grabbed her catkin, "Why can't I like you? How many people should like a woman like you..."

Murong Wei didn't expect him to do such a frivolous act, and sneered at him with an elbow, but he was easily restrained and wrapped in his arms, unable to break free: "Let go of me, Xiao Jinglan, what do you want to do?" ? You scoundrel!"

"Don't you want to talk to me frankly? Actually, it's nothing. I just want to marry you. How can there be so many reasons?"

Murong Wei couldn't break free, her cheeks flushed with anger, she doesn't know martial arts, so she is no match for him.

At this moment, a voice came from outside: "Miss, who are you talking to?"

Murong Wei was taken aback, pushed him, and quickly said, "Let me go."

Xiao Jinglan refused, "Tell her to let her go."

Murong Wei couldn't push him, and said with a sneer, "Okay, if you don't mind, I can go all out and call someone in. I'd rather ruin my own reputation than look good on you!"

He blinked, "Okay, I don't mind. Anyway, when the time comes, I will say that we are in love. Do you think your father would like to make his family ugly, or would he marry you to me?" With a deep style, "I'm really looking forward to it."

Murong Wei was so angry that one Buddha was born and the other Buddha was born in heaven, but it was really like what he said, maybe in the end she ruined her reputation and still wanted to marry him.

"Miss?" Qiu Fang's voice came, and Murong Wei became vigilant, and shouted out: "What are you calling, I'm getting up to study."

Qiu Fang paused outside, shook her head and left again.

Thinking about it, it is impossible for anyone to be in the lady's room, except Xiangyu who is on guard at night.

Murong Wei glared at him and regained her composure: "Leave quickly, or you will be exposed soon."

She didn't want Qiufang to find out.

Xiao Jinglan's arms were full of soft jade and warm fragrance at this moment, but she really couldn't bear to let go, her eyes turned, "I really can't bear to leave. Wei Er, I didn't lie to you, I really want to marry you."

Murong Wei rolled her eyes, and said over and over again, "Is it annoying?"

"Okay, I see, you can go, thank you and goodbye." Her tone was a little impatient.

Xiao Jinglan twisted her nose and said aggrievedly, "Why are you doing this to me?"

Murong Wei looked at him amusedly: "You really look like a peerless little subject, I really can't stand it. I don't bother to care about the affairs of Prince Jing's mansion, as for you..." She patted his handsome face: "Young Master Xiao, I hope Don't appear here again in the future, or I will definitely prepare poison to entertain you."

Xiao Jinglan stared at her blankly, and smiled at Yan Yan in front of her eyes. Is it her nature to be a straight-talking woman?Sometimes I see her elegant and quiet, sometimes she is unparalleled in intelligence, but this time she seems more direct and thorough.

She is like an ever-changing girl, with too many mysteries, which made Xiao Jinglan want to explore and explore again.

Murong Wei chuckled, and looked him up and down with a malicious smile, tsk tsk, let alone, this guy's looks are really up to standard: "I praise you for being beautiful."

He immediately turned dark: "I'm handsome, okay?"

He hates people saying that he is beautiful, that he is a man but not a woman.

Murong Wei hugged the quilt and hid inside the bed: "You go, I'm not where you should stay."

Xiao Jinglan snorted and muttered, "She really is a heartless woman."

But thinking that she didn't even know that he was the one who held her hostage that day, her heart was filled with complacency. Didn't she get tricked by him that day?

An unknown ray of light rose from the corner of his mouth, he got out through the carved window, looked back at the room, snorted, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

Murong Wei looked helplessly at the retreating figure, got up and poured a cup of tea.

This man is too complicated.

She intuitively felt that there must be many unknown things behind him, and the affairs of Prince Jing's mansion were also a mess, and she really didn't want to get involved.

Especially now that she thinks about Princess Qingli's strange attitude, she feels even more frightened.

Just as she was about to go back to lie down, she suddenly felt something beside her. When she got up, she saw that it was a small and exquisite jade lock.

Murong Wei picked up the jade lock and looked at it. There was a natural warm feeling in her hand. The jade was white and delicate, clear and moist.

She had a half-smile: "Yusuo, what is he trying to lock, lock my heart? This guy really is."

If a lock could lock people's hearts, then there wouldn't be so many disputes and conflicts in this world.

Murong Wei shook her head and put the jade lock away.

I didn't expect him to play such a trick before leaving.

like her?
Is what he said true or false?

Murong Wei turned over, thinking wildly, and fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up again, it was already the next morning.

Early in the morning Xiangyu whispered to Xiangtao: "It's strange, I slept soundly last night and didn't wake up all night. Sister Qiufang said that she heard Miss reading at night. Oh, did I delay serving Miss?"

Murong Wei heard them talking and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just woke up and fell asleep again."

Xiangyu's face was full of shame: "It's the servant who has neglected his duty, please punish me."

Of course Murong Wei couldn't punish her, after all what happened last night wasn't her fault, wasn't that boring Xiao Jinglan doing something good?

"No need, you can do things well in the future."

Xiangtao tugged her sleeves quickly, and Xiangyu quickly knelt down to thank her.

Lu'er lifted the curtain and came in, suddenly said: "Miss, Miss, she seems to have passed out just now."

Murong Wei nodded, "Understood, can I invite a doctor? I'll go and see Eldest Sister later. Eldest Sister doesn't seem to be in good health recently."

Lu'er narrowed her eyes, "Yes, miss, I don't know what's wrong."

"Maybe she's tired from embroidering the dowry? I heard that she often stays up late recently." Murong Wei sighed.

Murong Wei sat in front of the dressing table, and Ren Lu'er put on a simple bra, a hairpin inlaid with jasper and pearls, a begonia silk flower, and a pearl heart dripping emerald on her forehead.

Murong Wei is wearing the usual cherry red long trousers with ruyi patterns and lotus-colored thread-stitched skirt.

Sitting down at the table, I saw a bowl of lean meat porridge, a plate of spiced quail eggs, a plate of dried tofu mixed with sesame oil, and several crystal buns.

Murong Wei raised her eyebrows. She was a medical student, and the most important thing is to maintain her health, and her body is really growing up now, so eating is very important.

It’s fine if there is no milk in the morning. After all, there are no pure cows in the capital, but people in the north often drink goat’s milk, and there is also some in the mansion.

Most of the meals in the mansion are allocated from the big kitchen. Whatever you want to do, you can also cook in the small kitchen, but you have to subtract it from the monthly bill.It's not about getting what you want.

Her monthly bill is not much, but it's not so bad that she can't drink goat's milk.

"Is there no goat's milk?"

Qiu Fang was standing on the side serving, and said with restraint: "Miss, the servant just went to ask, there is goat milk, but there is not much preparation for this one, after all, not many people in the house drink goat milk. As a result, the second lady's maid went to It's time to leave, and when the servants go, they will be gone. The servants asked if they still had any more, and the women said something strangely, what kind of goat milk does the third lady drink? I haven't seen that the third lady likes to drink it before. dead!"

Murong Wei narrowed her eyes and did not speak.

Lu'er and other serving maids all frowned. How can they not know the virtues of those maids serving in the kitchen, they are used to flattering others, probably because they heard that the second young lady might marry into the Jianning uncle's mansion I'm in a hurry to curry favor with you!
Seeing that Murong Wei didn't speak, Qiu Fang thought she was sulking, and fanned the flames again: "Your servant must be trying to curry favor with the second lady looking at them like that, isn't it someone from Jianningbo's mansion who came to propose marriage? There is no engagement, and the horoscope has not yet been written, and each of them dares to bully our third lady like this. The servant sees that the second lady is usually on good terms with you, and now she is getting angry!"

Lu'er glared at her: "Qiu Fang, what nonsense are you talking about, you can talk about the masters?"

Qiu Fang scolded: "You're just talking nonsense, I'm telling the truth, looking at them like that, servants are worthless for the young lady, our young lady might marry into the palace in the future, look at them..."

"What did you say?" Murong Wei's eyes suddenly sharpened, piercing Qiu Fang's heart like a sharp knife, her heart skipped a beat and she was so scared that she fell silent.

"Marry into the palace?" Murong Wei's eyes were full of amusement: "Qiu Fang, why do you know more about this lady's marriage than my parents?"

Qiu Fang was so frightened by her stare that her legs softened and she knelt down on the ground, "Miss, it's my servant who made a mistake, and my servant was talking nonsense for a while..."

"Really? Qiufang, you've really grown up." Her eyes were cold: "My second sister doesn't drink goat milk on weekdays, so you don't know why she wants it today?"

Qiu Fang hurriedly said: "What else could it be for? Isn't it just trying to play tricks?"

Murong Wei was amused: "Arrogant?" What kind of person is Murong Yue, who can be abusive?

"I hate others lying to me, telling stories, and sowing discord. Qiu Fang, you really let me down. Do you still preach that I am going to marry into the palace? Do you think it is the king of Luo? It is really a hero to save the beauty." Good show, it seems that I have spoiled you all the time. I dote on you, but I have said a serious word on weekdays, which has taught you all to have no sense of importance. How dare you spread rumors outside to damage my reputation? Sowing dissension, good, really good!"

Her words were so harsh that the servant girls were so frightened that they fell to their knees.

Qiu Fang also turned pale immediately: "Miss, I don't have any servants, I will never dare to sow discord, spread rumors, my servants' loyalty to you can be learned from the sun and the moon!"

Murong Wei looked at her with a half-smile, "Dongfang is usually busy running errands. Dongfang, let her in."

Qiu Fang's expression suddenly became even more difficult, and when Dong Fang came in, she was panicked when she saw the scene in front of her: "Miss, this is..."

Murong Wei said indifferently: "Today you go to the kitchen with Qiu Fang, do you know why the Second Miss wants goat's milk?"

Dongfang didn't know what happened, just about to speak, she suddenly saw Qiufang winking at her, but in a blink of an eye she saw Murongwei's cold gaze again, Dongfang was in a difficult situation for a while, and didn't know how to answer.

"It's time for the servant girls to change their positions." Murong Wei said suddenly.

Dongfang's eyes lit up immediately, and she hurriedly said: "Your maidservant knows, the cook said that the second lady had a stomachache, and her nanny asked the little maid to bring some goat's milk to warm her stomach."

"So, Qiufang also knew about it?" Murong Wei smiled, "Very well, Qiufang, you have become more and more courageous. You dare to lie to me and cause trouble. Lu'er, call a few people and get her Pull it down for me to hit [-] boards, and let everyone in the yard come to watch the execution."

Qiu Fang turned pale with shock, she jumped up and hugged Murong Wei's leg: "Miss, you can't do this, I'm not sorry miss..."

Lu'er quickly winked at the others, and immediately called two rough envoys to come over, and directly pulled Qiufang out.

Murong Wei glanced at her coldly, and walked out of the room. A group of servant girls dared not show their arrogance. They watched Qiu Fang being tied to the bench in trepidation. People, Qiufang is still a big maid, they don't know whether to beat her or not.
