Harem Pampered Beauty: Chen Xiangxue

Chapter 22

Seeing Yeluyan's inexplicable appearance, Murongxue couldn't hold back the jealousy in her heart, and moaned, "Fanbang beauty has such long legs, why did my husband send her away again?"

Yeluyan looked at her with a half-smile, but didn't answer.

"What's so good about those long egret-like legs? The length like mine is just right and the best." As he spoke, he lifted up his skirt unceremoniously, revealing a pair of slender snow-white calves, The chubby feet moved unconvinced. "Husband, do you think so?"

He smiled and pressed her on the bed without answering.

As soon as she touched his body, she became tense instantly, and the pain from last night was still vivid in her memory.This time it was still very painful.With a fearless spirit of seeing death as home for love, she bitterly counted hundreds of sheep, and found that he was far from ending, and he was getting more and more violent, as if she wanted to crush her body.Do you really hate her so much? Isn't it just that you ran away twice? What a narrow-minded man, but to love someone is to tolerate all his shortcomings.

She comforted herself in this way, and for some reason she remembered the "friend in difficulty" Fan Bangmei.Compared with her, she immediately felt that she was strong and brave, no matter how much he tossed about, she would not say a word.

After waking up, Yeluyan had already left.She huddled under the quilt, put her head on his pillow, smelled the breath left by him, and the corners of her mouth curled up.She thought, he hadn't met her before, and it was understandable that he had other women, but since she came by his side, she had to use all her abilities to make him fall in love with her wholeheartedly, and then another angel would come , and didn't ask him to take another look.There are three thousand weak waters, and she wants to be the only scoop.

Thinking of this, she felt that her whole body was full of strength and fighting spirit, she got up immediately, and told Anxiang and Shuying to go shopping.After a busy day in the small kitchen, she made mille-feuille, sour date cake, chestnut cake, hibiscus fruit and several other special pastries.

Jujube Cake and Chestnut Cake, two soft pastries, were put in a food box for Luxi to deliver to Mrs. Liu. Since they wanted to please him, they naturally had to start with the people around him.Mrs. Liu is his wet nurse, and she has been in charge of the palace these years, which shows that she is a very important person in his heart.She gave a copy of hibiscus fruit and mille-feuille cake to the steward and the gate guard of Yintao Pavilion respectively.

As for the four snacks left for Yeluyan, they were even more ingenious and took a lot of thought.There are pastel porcelain plates, sky blue porcelain plates, and glazed plates. There is also a plum vase in the middle of the cakes, with a few delicate and pink cherry blossoms inserted. A bright and alluring picture.

She was quite complacent, waiting for Yeluyan to taste it when night fell.

But until the dusk was deep, he did not see him coming.She was a little anxious, and immediately asked Zizhu to inquire.

After a while, Zizhu came back and said that the prince had been back for half an hour, had finished his meal, and was in Yintao Pavilion.

When Murong Xue heard that he had eaten rice, she couldn't help being a little disappointed, she had prepared the food in the kitchen, and she just waited for him to stir fry it.

"Then he will come over later?"

Zizhu shook her head, "The servant does not know."

Murong Xue stomped her feet: "Then why don't you ask?"

Zizhu's face turned red, and she whispered: "Ma'am, where the prince will stay is always up to him to decide. In the past, none of the beauties in the four halls of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum have ever inquired. The slaves dare not go beyond the rules."

Murong Xue's complexion changed.When Anxiang saw it, she hurriedly said: "Madam is a serious master, how can she compare with those women. Go to Yintao Pavilion and say that Madam asked you to ask."

Zizhu responded with a cry and withdrew.Murong Xue waited for Zizhu's news like a year, and only now did she deeply realize that Yeluyan is a prince, not an ordinary man, and his return to the palace does not mean that she will be able to see him and guard him .He has his own space, and she, like a woman in the palace, can only wait for his luck, if she wants to see him when he comes back, unless she can live with him in Yintao Pavilion.

However, her identity is a side concubine, even if there is no main concubine in the mansion at the moment, she can't live and fly with him, enter and exit together.She has always regarded money as dung, and she doesn't care about power and interests, but now she understands the importance of status.She used to only think about marrying him, but now she realizes that marrying him is far from enough. She needs to be with him all the time, and put herself in the most important place in her heart.

When Yeluyan didn't come, she didn't have the heart to cook, so she ordered Anxiang to let the cook in the kitchen cook the dishes she had prepared and serve them up, and she ate half a bowl of rice without taste, so bored.

At this time, Zizhu who went to Yintao Pavilion for questioning came back, and said cautiously: "The prince said that he will not come tonight."

Murong Xue suddenly felt that her heart was empty.The delicately prepared dim sum on the table seemed to be lonely, and the cherry blossoms also lost their charm, who are they showing them to?
She bit her thin cherry lips, and was silent for a moment, her eyes suddenly flashed an unyielding light, "Anxiang, you put this cake in the food box, and I will deliver it to the prince."

An Xiang whispered: "Ma'am, the prince never likes others to go in and disturb him, why not wait until the prince comes tomorrow."

"I'm not someone else." Murong Xue summoned up her ambition, carried the food box, and walked out of the Meiguan with Anxiang Shuying, then on the Biyue Bridge, and out of the gate of Jinghu Garden, letting Anxiang lead the way, and went straight Arrived outside the door of Yintao Pavilion.

There are two guards guarding the door, one of them is Zhang Long.

Seeing Murong Xue, the two bowed down to salute.

Murong Xue smiled at Zhang Long, "I'll bring some pastries to the prince."

"Madam, please wait for a moment, let me go in and report." Zhang Long, who had just tasted Mrs. Murong's hibiscus fruit, stepped into the courtyard quickly.

Murong Xue looked inside, and saw that this Yintao Pavilion was a two-story wooden building, with glazed lanterns hanging on the cornices, illuminating the three big characters of "Yintao Pavilion" on the door pavilion, magnificent and majestic. Majestic, with the momentum of raging waves rolling up thousands of layers of snow.

She was excited and curious, and had a faint feeling of standing outside the door of his heart, as if he let her in at this moment, and she walked into his heart.

After a while, Zhang Long came out and smiled embarrassedly: "My lord asked me to take the cakes in, please go back and rest first, Madam."

He wouldn't let her in!This really surprised and disappointed her.But she was not discouraged at all, and said firmly with the food box: "No, I will give it to the prince myself."

The more he behaved like this, the more he aroused her competitive spirit and her fighting spirit, and she just wanted to walk into his heart.The Yintao Pavilion in front of him doesn't seem to be a house, but his defense.Immediately, she developed a kind of heroism at the gate of the city, holding her head high and her chest high, majestic and majestic.

"This," Zhang Long was very embarrassed, because Yeluyan likes to be quiet, and he usually doesn't like to be disturbed when dealing with business affairs in Yintao Pavilion. Besides, there has never been a woman who dared to come here to look for the prince before, and they all waited for Yeluyan. Yan went to Mirror Lake.Although the person in front of me is a side concubine, she is not the main concubine, only the main concubine is eligible to live with the prince.

Holding the food box, Murong Xue snorted angrily and said: "The ancients said that it is a joy to have friends coming from afar. Friends are so happy when they come, so their wives should be even more happy when they come. People who have read poetry and books, Don't you even understand this point? It's outrageous to avoid it."

On the way from the south of the Yangtze River to Beijing, Zhang Yuan had already seen the unyielding character of Mrs. Murong, so he had the courage to go in and report.

Yeluyan had already heard those words outside in the study, and walked out of the room and said: "Tell her to come in."

As soon as Murong Xue heard Yeluyan's voice, she immediately stepped into the Yintao Pavilion with the food box, feeling a great joy of victory in her heart.But Yeluyan is not like her, his face is full of lovesickness like not seeing each other every day.

She said brazenly: "My lord, I'll give you a supper. I made the pastries myself. They are unparalleled in the world. No amount of money can buy them. If you don't eat them, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Yeluyan: "...." Is it her mantra to regret for the rest of her life?

She was standing under a bright red lamp, with elegant clothes and a flowery smile. He wanted to reprimand him with a cold face, but he couldn't say anything to this bright and beautiful smile, so he said lightly: "Just let it go, you go back."

She made an inch of it and said, "I want to watch you eat." Then she stepped forward a few steps, stood beside him, and took his arm unceremoniously.

He frowned and glanced at her, "I still have something to do."

"I won't delay your business. I'll leave right away after you taste it."

He had learned her stalking skills a long time ago, so he had no choice but to lead her in.

This is the Yintao Pavilion that no one has ever entered. She looked around curiously. The most eye-catching thing in the hall is a marble screen with a rosewood base. The natural patterns on the stone slices are like snow-capped mountains, which is magnificent.Under the window is a large rosewood desk with a red rosewood chair.The desk was neat and tidy, with a square of Panlong inkstone placed on it, and wolf hairs of different sizes hanging on the pen holder.There is a plum vase in the left corner, which is not filled with seasonal flowers, but dozens of peacock tail feathers.One side of the paperweight brave, the carving is lifelike.On the wall facing the book case is a freehand landscape painting, the picture is vast and vast, with a great open air, and mentioned two crazy words, "Walk to the poor water, sit and watch the clouds rise." The calligraphy and painting are everywhere. Unrestrained spirit.

In the northwest corner, there is also a couch for resting, covered with an autumn-colored brocade quilt. This is the only place in the hall that is slightly soft. The aroma from the purple-gold copper stove gives off a few traces of charming breath.

She looked at everything here, full of joy, looked away with a smile on her face, put the food box on the desk, and said cheerfully: "Husband, try it, this is the pastry I made for a day."

Yeluyan picked up a pastry that looked like a spring roll and asked, "What is this?"

Murong Xue bit her lip, she smiled shyly: "This is, Acacia Scroll."

Yeluyan smiled, "You took this name?"

"Yes."

He raised his eyebrows and joked, "Is lovesickness involved?"

She blushed slightly, "The tender tips of Chinese toon and the shredded pork, aren't they Xiang and shredded?" He was such a boring person, and it took her a long time to think in vain before she came up with this name.

"What about this?"

"Acquaintance Cake.",

"What did you do?"

"Sesame oil, sesame."

He looked at her with a half-smile, "The future will last forever, don't be in a hurry to offer treasures, save a few hands so that you won't be out of luck in the future."

"You," she blushed angrily, why is this person so incomprehensible, and his words are full of thorns, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

He picked up a lovesickness roll, tasted a few mouthfuls, and asked, "Why don't you make tea?"

"You want tea? Then I'll make it for you now."

"Wait until tomorrow." He finished eating a roll of Acacia, and put the rest of the snacks into the food box.

"Okay, I've already tasted it, and when I go to the Plum Pavilion tomorrow, I'll eat it slowly with some tea." This was obviously a perfunctory gesture, and she was quite disappointed, but it was already enough to enter the Yintao Pavilion today. It is a big victory.

"Is it delicious?" Before he could answer, she immediately said again: "It's okay not to say."

He looked at her and smiled: "It's okay."

Murong Xue gritted her teeth: "...." Will you die if you say something nice? Will you die?I can't wait to put his mouth in a honeypot and marinate it for three to five months.

"Go back quickly." Seeing that she refused to leave, he directly issued an order to evict her.

"It's getting late, isn't your husband still resting?" After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but have a few scarlet clouds on her face.

"I still have things to deal with."

"Then I will wait for my husband."

"I'm not going to the Meiguan today. You go back first." After a pause, he said again: "Don't come here in the future, if I'm not busy, I will find you."

One sentence cut her self-esteem to pieces, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't stand it anymore, picked up the food box with red eyes and walked out with her head bowed.After leaving the gate of Yintao Pavilion, the tears that were pent up in the eye sockets were blown by the night wind, and they scrambled to come out of the eye sockets to relax.

Anxiang and Shuying followed behind her, they didn't see that she was crying against the wind at the moment, instead they said happily: "Madam is so courageous, even Ke Sheqing's cousin dare not go to see the lord." Speaking of this, she He stopped suddenly, realizing his slip of the tongue.

Murong Xue stopped her tears immediately, and asked, "What's Miss Cousin from Guest Sheqing?"

"The prince's cousin lives in the guest house," An Xiang secretly slapped herself a few times in her heart, and must lock her mouth after getting angry.
