Harem Pampered Beauty: Chen Xiangxue

Chapter 23

As soon as Murong Xue saw Anxiang's appearance, she knew something was going on, and immediately entered a first-level combat readiness state.

"Tell me, I won't blame you."

"There is a cousin of the prince named Shen Youxin living in Qingli Guest House. I heard that it was promised to King Cheng Xi, but the prince forcibly picked up Miss Biao from Shen's house and placed her in the mansion."

These few words were like a bolt from the blue, splitting Murong Xue into black charcoal paste.She dug her ears to make sure that her hearing was really fine.

Seeing Murong Xue's appearance, Shu Ying immediately blamed An Xiang: "You are so talkative. Maybe Miss Shen is just staying in the palace temporarily, maybe the prince will send her home in a few days."

An Xiang said: "It's not that the servants talk too much, but I just want Madam to know herself and the enemy and win every battle. Beauty Fanbang left after staying for a few days, Miss Shen has lived in the mansion for three months."

"It's okay, you continue to talk." Murong Xue suppressed the jealousy in her heart, and squeezed out a dry smile.

"Not anymore." An Xiangna still dared to say.

"What does she look like? Does she look as good as me?" Murong Xue felt that her voice was getting dry and hoarse.

"Of course not." An Xiang actually wanted to laugh when she heard Murong Xue's sour and bubbling words. If she put aside Murong Xue's identity, she was really a likable little girl, good-looking and generous. He spends generously, has no heart, and has no pretensions to his servants.It's a pity that she married a prince with a face of ice and a heart of iron.

"She and the lord," Murong Xue really couldn't ask the rest of the words, she really wanted to know, since Shen Youxin lived in the mansion for three months, is there any real relationship between Shen Youxin and Yeluyan.

The empathetic Shuying immediately said: "My lord has never stayed in the guest house before."

Murong Xue asked again: "What about the daytime, daytime is fine too..." After asking such a question, Anxiang and Shuying's faces turned red, after all, they are still daughters of yellow flowers.

Murong Xue didn't ask why, she felt really uncomfortable, she stomped her foot and said, "I'm going to Guesthouse Qing."

Anxiang and Shuying were both stunned, they said quickly: "Madam, it's getting late, so don't go."

"Yes, ma'am, it is not appropriate for you to go."

Murong Xue said: "Why is it inappropriate, she is a guest living in the palace, and she is also a cousin, as her sister-in-law, it is not wrong for me to go and see her, and I am taking her there for supper. "Anyway, if she doesn't see Shen Youxin tonight, she will definitely have a sleepless night.

Seeing that they couldn't be persuaded, An Xiang and Shu Ying had no choice but to bite the bullet and accompany her to Ke She Qing, and when they reached the door, Murong Xue felt even more sad.This is an independent small courtyard, which is different from the plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum pavilion by the mirror lake, which is independent from the world.

A word instantly came to her mind, Jinwu Zangjiao.

Looking back, I saw that Yintao Pavilion and this guest house were facing each other across a stream. Didn't this answer the sentence "There is a beautiful woman on the side of the water"?

Her heart was so sour that she was about to wring out vinegar.

Dim Xiang knocked on the door.

The one who opened the door was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old maid, with delicate features and very clever, and when she saw that it was Anxiang and Shuying, the eldest maids of Meiguan, she knew that the outstandingly beautiful and gorgeously dressed woman was behind them. Concubine Murongxue is gone, so she should bend down to give a blessing.

An Xiang asked: "Miss Shen, have you rested?"

"No, ma'am, wait a moment, let the servants go in and make an announcement."

Murong Xue carried the food box and went straight into the guest house, only to see a few lanterns hanging under the eaves, and a silhouette reflected under the window of the east room.Just a shadow showed a bit of coquettish demeanor, Murong Xue's heart arose, she was curious, excited, and jealous.

That Qianli figure stood up and stepped out of the wing room, walked under the eaves and bowed deeply to Murong Xue: "Blessed sister-in-law."

As soon as Murong Xue saw Shen Youxin, she realized that there was a reason for looking at beauties under the lamp and flowers under the moon.Shen Youxin's beauty is like a pot of clear tea, a branch of plum blossoms, with a floating fragrance, which is indescribably comfortable.Moreover, she has a slender figure, Murong Xue deliberately looked down from her waist, and intuited a pair of slender and straight legs under the rippling pomegranate skirt.

She suddenly felt a piece of dried sweet potato choked in her heart.Looking at Shen Youxin's temperament and appearance, he immediately remembered the words he once said: "I like women who are virtuous, virtuous, self-respecting and self-loving."

The Shen Youxin in front of him has an elegant demeanor and a good manner, which is definitely the type he likes.And Miss Biao is simply synonymous with childhood sweetheart dream lover.

She stepped forward with a dry smile, "I made some snacks when I had nothing to do, and used them to make supper for my cousin."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Shen Youxin spoke slowly, and her clear and lingering melody made Murong Xue feel that her voice was extremely difficult to hear.

She entered the room, looked around, secretly compared Meiguan with this place, and came to the conclusion that although Meiguan is more comfortable and luxurious, in terms of style, it is more similar to Yintao Pavilion.

She became more and more uncomfortable.

Shen Youxin invited her to sit down, and ordered the little maid Qian'er to serve tea.

Murong Xue picked up a cup of clear tea, the steam smudged her eyes, she just felt dry and uncomfortable, so the words stuffed in her heart were blurted out without going through her brain.

"Does the lord come here often?" As soon as the words came out, she wanted to bite off the tip of her tongue. This question is so substandard, it seems like a jealous woman came to ask her teacher for a crime. She really didn't mean it, she just wanted to see Yelv out of curiosity. It's just Yan's sweetheart.

"Cousin hardly comes." After Shen Youxin answered, she showed a slight smile, as if she thought her question was ridiculous.

"Why didn't he come?" Murong Xue's eyes widened in confusion. Since he snatched it from someone else, why did he want to be Liu Xiahui again?

"Cousin is always very busy." Shen Youxin still smiled calmly and beautifully.Murong Xue found that Shen Youxin was not the kind of opponent she had imagined at all, she was polite, neither humble nor overbearing, she was completely in a posture of not accepting moves, she was an expert who could do anything.

That being the case, Murong Xue didn't plan to beat around the bush anymore, anyway, going straight to the point is her strong point.She was thinking about what to say next when Zhang Long's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

Immediately, the little maid hurried in, "Girl, the prince is here."

Murong Xue was startled, suddenly felt a guilty conscience, hurriedly got up and greeted her out, Shen Youxin also went out of the room.

Yeluyan hurried into the yard, saw Murong Xue first took a deep look, and then his eyes fell on Shen Youxin.

Murong Xue immediately felt the difference between the two eyes, when she looked at her she was clearly indifferent, but when she looked at Shen Youxin, she immediately felt pity and tenderness.

He took a look at Shen Youxin, and then asked Murong Xue: "Why are you here?" The tone was obviously afraid that she would harm her sweetheart, Murong Xue was aggrieved and annoyed, and said: "I will bring supper to my cousin."

Yeluyan looked at her and said, "Go back first."

Murong Xue had no choice but to go back with Shuying Anxiang, and after walking a few steps, she told Anxiang, "You stay and see when the prince will come out from the inn Qingxin."

She took Shuying alone and walked slowly towards the Meiguan, shedding tears as she walked.It turns out that besides the Fanbang beauty, there is also Shen Youxin, even the Fanbang beauty, she has already turned the page, but Shen Youxin is a living rival in love, and Ke Sheqing is standing opposite Yintao Pavilion.Thinking of this, her heart rumbled like an iceberg had collapsed, and the night wind howled and poured it in.It is said that what is not available is the best. Shen Youxin's advantage is probably that she is the one who plans to marry King Cheng Xi.

At this time, she remembered what Ding Xiang had said to her, if you are eager to like a man, he will stick his tail up to the sky, if you ignore him, he will flatter you like a dog.

Murong Xue sighed for a long time, she also wanted a man to like her desperately, but God's will, she just met a man with a cold face and a heart.She can't pretend to be arrogance, let alone indifference. When she likes someone, she is full of fire-like enthusiasm from head to toe. She can't hide it, can't hide it, and wants to show him her heart. Don't you like such a woman?She couldn't figure it out.

Back at Meiguan, Shuying helped her fill the bath water.

She was sitting in the bathtub, looking at her hands, there was still a little bit of unwashed flour in the flesh between the fingertips.In order to make pastries, she has been busy all day, and her wrists are sore from kneading dough.But he only tasted the result of a tiring day, and now in his sweetheart's room, the two of them must be drinking tea and eating her cakes, talking at night by candlelight.

Thinking of that scene, she covered her face, and spewed two streams of sour tears from between her fingers.

"Are you crying again?" A familiar voice suddenly rang in her ear, and she hurriedly put her hand down. At some point, Yeluyan stood in front of her with a mocking expression.

She hugged her arms in a hurry, and didn't bother to cry, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"Don't cover it up, there's nothing to see about the two little steamed buns." As he said, he took her clothes and handed them to her.

She crawled out of the tub in a state of embarrassment, put on her clothes, and saw a small red face in the bronze mirror, with smoky eyes, hibiscus like face and willow like eyebrows.She herself thought it was very good-looking, but why he was so indifferent, she really couldn't figure it out.

"Didn't the lord say he can't come tonight?"

He glanced at her with a half-smile, "I'm afraid that there will be a flood in Meiguan and the mirror lake will be submerged, so I came here to have a look."

Shy and angry, she stomped her feet and said, "I didn't cry."

He smiled and said nothing, and slid his finger across the corner of her eyes, picking up a drop of water on his fingertip, "What is this?"

"Bath water."

He put his fingertips on the tip of his tongue and licked it, "The bath water is so salty, I admire it."

She crawled onto the bed in embarrassment, and turned her back to him, for fear that he would laugh at her red and swollen eyelids again.

He leaned over her shoulder and smelled it, "It smells like sour vinegar."

She turned around unconvinced, "It's obviously a fragrance."

He pinched her pink cheeks, and smiled slightly: "You are allowed to have a cousin, but I am not allowed to have a cousin?"

She said angrily, "But I don't like my cousin, but you like my cousin."

He raised his eyebrows, "Who said I like her?"
