Long Song Fenghua: The Demon Queen Confused the King's Heart

Chapter 37

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Early in the morning, Mu Xiurong arrived at Qiancui Courtyard early.

When Mu Xiurong stepped into the door, Bizhu was gently inserting the hairpin into Mu Changge's black hair.

"Sixth sister, is it so early again?" Mu Changge smiled slightly, raised his hand to lightly support the fluffy bun, his cuffs were half removed, and a white wrist was sticking out.

Bizhu glanced into the bronze mirror, and said with a smile, "Second Miss is so beautiful, Miss Six, don't you think so?"

The corners of Mu Xiurong's mouth slightly pursed, and quickly covered up the unspeakable unhappiness, and nodded obediently, "Second sister is always the prettiest one."

There was a lot of jealousy hidden in this sentence, how could she not know that Mu Changge was born with an alluring beauty, but every time she saw her, there was always an indescribable unhappiness in her heart.

Especially today's Mu Changge seems to be a bit more beautiful than usual. In the past, his hair was always tied in a random bun, but today it has changed into a graceful peony, which is extraordinarily coquettish.

The skin is creamy, the eyebrows are picturesque, and every frown and smile are charms that no one else can learn.

That sour taste suddenly surged up from the bottom of Mu Xiurong's heart, like thorny thorns, entangled her heart with invisible scars one after another.

The strong sourness finally fermented uncontrollably, and by the time Mur Xiurong realized it, the voice soaked in a little bit of sourness had already subtly squeezed out from the corner of his mouth.

"Second sister is naturally beautiful, and her beauty is really incomparable. It is also the fragrance powder given by the old lady. Second sister looks good after using it, but it can be used on my face, but it still looks ugly. I don't know. Maybe you still think that our old lady is also eccentric, and deliberately gave the second sister a good share."

Bizhu's gaze was immediately withdrawn, and everyone in the house knew that this sixth young lady, Mur Xiurong, was the one with the most sour stomach.

Especially for Mu Changge, it's common to have to say a few harmless but uncomfortable words.

Mu Changge had long been accustomed to this, and now he just pursed his lips and smiled, as if he couldn't hear anything, but grabbed a round powder box on the corner of the table with his hand.

"The old lady gave it to me, Bizhu, she didn't know when she accepted this box of gadgets from King Cang behind my back, and coaxed her to use it on my face this morning. "

"Second sister, why don't you use the old lady's sandalwood powder!?"

Mu Xiurong's brows froze, and she blurted out the almost forced question.

The hand holding the powder box was already hanging in the air, Mu Changge blinked in confusion, "Sixth sister, why are you so nervous?"

Mu Xiurong's heart trembled, and she pinched her palm desperately, and that trace of unnaturalness was forcefully brought over.

"How can we not be nervous? Second sister, this time we go to the ancestral hall to copy the scriptures and pray for blessings. The old lady also attaches great importance to it. Although there is no mobilization of people so that the whole family has to go, but from what I mean, the old lady will definitely be there. "

Mu Xiurong pretended to be concerned, "It was the old lady's wish. If the second sister didn't use it, but used something else, wouldn't it be to discredit the old lady?"

"Sister Six knows that she loves me, she's like this girl." After hearing this, Mu Changge laughed, "I just smoothed it out on my face, and I still use the same sandalwood powder as you on my body. And, As long as no one speaks, the old lady will definitely not know."

Bizhu laughed and said: "Your maidservant has been wronged. The maidservant is also interested in this thing, and it's the only one. How come you don't feel sorry for Miss?"

"That's right, ordinary face powder, even the best one is made of corn pulp, but this box is made of the best pearls, finely ground into powder, and nothing else is added. None of those tacky fragrances."

While speaking, Mu Changge had already handed the compact to Mu Xiurong, "Sixth Sister, if you don't believe me, just open it and have a look."

Just looking at the powder box, Mur Xiurong was already a little jealous, and the few beads randomly inlaid on it were even better than the jewelry she was wearing.

"If Sixth Sister likes it, come and try it too. Anyway, it's still early, so there's no delay."

"How did this happen?" Mu Xiurong smiled pretendingly, but she still couldn't help but have a bit of a gun in her words, "The prince sent someone to send it to the second sister, I don't deserve such a precious price. powder."

Mu Changge's movements paused slightly, Xiuli glanced at Mu Xiurong with her eyes, and then there was a hint of sarcasm mixed in with her smile.

"Sixth Sister's words seem to be blaming me for showing off my sincerity as a sister. It's just a box of incense powder, which makes Sixth Sister complain so much. But I don't understand, what is Sixth Sister? For what reason, I have to look down on myself like this since I was a child. I am obviously kind, but it seems to be ridiculing you!"

Mu Xiurong clenched her palms fiercely. What Mu Changge said was not ridicule, but what was it! ?

How could she not know what it was for! ?
But even a box of face powder is worth showing off to her like this. If she is also like her, born with a beautiful face that can overwhelm the country, how can she be ridiculed so casually by her! ?
Staring at the box of face powder, the more Mu Xiurong looked at it, the more she wanted to slap it over, and slap it hard on Mu Changge's face.

However...Mu Xiurong bit the corner of her lips lightly, at this moment, she couldn't turn her back on Mu Changge no matter what she said.

If there is an unpleasant quarrel with her at this time, if she refuses to go to the ancestral hall with him in a fit of anger, wouldn't all the arrangements he had worked so hard before be in vain?
Suppressing her jealousy, Mur Xiurong said aggrievedly: "Xiurong is just afraid of causing trouble to Second Sister, Second Sister don't get me wrong, if she can use the same things as Second Sister, Xiurong will be very happy."

Just now she saw with her own eyes that Bi Zhu had indeed taken the powder inside and used it on Mu Changge's face.

Since Mu Changge can use it, why can't she use it?

What's more... Mur Xiurong stared at the thin and delicate pearl powder in the box, and couldn't take her eyes off for a moment.

When had she used such a good thing?Why can't it be used?She ridiculed her for not being able to use it, so she still needs to use it today!

Asking Bizhu to help, she lightly sprinkled a layer of pearl powder, Mur Xiurong glanced at the mirror, her eyes were a little watery.

This pearl powder is really top-notch, worthy of being something sent by King Cang, with only a thin layer, the complexion is really much more delicate.

Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Mu Xiurong was a little intoxicated, and then heard Mu Changge say from the side: "Look, isn't the sixth younger sister just as good after using it?"

Naturally, with such a good thing, how can it not be better than the original?

Mur Xiurong gritted her teeth secretly, with jealousy burning faintly in her eyes, she touched her face lightly, and put on a shy look again, "No matter how good it is, it can't compare to the beauty of Second Sister."

"It's not too early at this time, Second Sister, let's go to the ancestral hall as soon as possible. The old lady has to go today. We should arrive earlier. It's not good for the old lady to arrive early and wait for us."

"It's true, Bizhu, have you prepared all the four treasures of the study?"

"Miss Hui, everything is ready." Bizhu said respectfully.

Mu Changge lightly played with the hairpin on his head, and smiled at Mu Xiurong, "Then let's go right away, sixth sister, don't worry, there is still time."

From Qiancuiyuan to the ancestral hall, the distance is not too far, and it only takes a cup of tea to get there.

The ancestral hall of the Mu family is the most secluded place in the Mu Mansion. On weekdays, the gate of the ancestral hall is always closed. Although it is never locked, no one will step into this place except when necessary.

The young master and miss of the Mu family, no matter how playful they are, no one will come in this half step.

This is not surprising, the Mu family's ancestral hall, just the few ancient locust trees in the corner, looks eerie enough, not to mention that all the ancestral halls are placed in the ancestors' spirit tablets.

The ancestral hall is such a gloomy, cold and chilling place, not to mention the haunted rumors spread by who knows when.

It is said that the Mu family's ancestral hall has been "unclean" in recent years.Previously, some servants heard the slight cry of a baby inside, and thought that someone ran in without authorization, but when they opened the door, it was clean and there was nothing inside.

Naturally, this haunted rumor must never spread to the ears of masters like the old man and the old lady, but this rumor has long been known among the servants of the Mu family.

The old copper door was slowly pushed open, but it was only separated by a wall. When you stepped in, you felt a bit colder than the outside.

Mu Changge, who hadn't been here for a long time, couldn't help feeling a little dazed after stepping through the bronze gate.

In her memory, the last time she came here was when she was full of joy and was about to marry Su Hanyu.

At that time, her every frown and smile were bright, and there was a frown in her eyes, all of which were admiration for her husband and longing for the future.

At that time, she only hoped to be able to sing harmoniously, raise eyebrows, but who knew that what was waiting for her was...

A sharp sharp edge ruthlessly flashed across Mu Changge's eyes, shattering the pool of peace in her eyes, and quickly disappeared without a trace when she turned sideways to face Mu Xiurong.

The table for copying the scriptures has been prepared by the servants early, and the best rice paper has been laid out on it.

"Bi Zhu, grind the ink."

"Yes, ma'am."

While Bizhu was grinding ink, there was a movement from outside the ancestral hall. Mu Changge looked up, then walked a few steps quickly, and stepped forward to support the old lady.

"It's already getting a little cold, the old lady doesn't need to come." Mu Changge said with concern in a soft voice.

The old lady smiled, "You two sisters have such filial piety, why don't I come and have a look?"

Sitting down in the sunny place, the old lady said to Mother Liu again, "Order someone to move a chair, Miss San is not in good health now, although it is a punishment, it doesn't have to be too harsh."

Hearing this, Mu Changge's eyes turned faintly, and he said as if nothing had happened: "Isn't the third sister still sick? Is she coming today?"
