Lady Zhao

Chapter 1

In the small bowl with red twining lotus flower patterns, the snow-white and moist porridge is steaming hot, and the rice grains are softly nestled together, like you and me, facing the sun, a pearl-like layer appears on the surface of the bowl luster.

"Miss, the old lady's cook made you the pearl and white fungus porridge alone, eat it while it's hot!" The big maid, Xueyan, stood beside the pear-carved bed, wearing a half-new crimson satin waistcoat, under the moonlight. Bai Ruqun, persuading him respectfully.

The second-class maid, Baochan, wore the same material, and her waistcoat was changed to a lotus color according to her status as a maid in the mansion. She stood beside Xueyan, holding a tray in her hand and carefully glanced at the bed. The dark blue gauze curtains Blocking the movement of the people inside, for a long time, when the girl didn't make a sound, Baochan couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and a trace of fear flashed across his face.

In Dingguo's mansion, who doesn't know that Zhao Wenwan, the eldest girl in Xiangzhuyuan, is the most difficult to serve, domineering and defiant, if she doesn't like it, she will punish her servants for a few days, and if she moves, she will beat and scold her. The young lady burnt her tongue while eating tea in the eldest wife's room. Baochan was fined for five days because of the tea served by her side. Today is the last day. At this moment, she is still a little dizzy and has weakness in her hands and feet. Woolen cloth.

Fortunately, Xue Yan quickly helped her, so that she didn't shake the rice porridge all over the floor.

Baochan sighed and showed her white teeth, and smiled, "Thank you sister Xueyan." Her voice was extremely low, but she didn't dare to disturb the master on the bed. Serving her master, she can still be so dedicated and calm, sweat is almost coming out of her temples that she was scared just now.

Xueyan is indeed a prudent person, she was originally a maidservant by the old lady's side, much more natural and thoughtful than others in the upper mansion, two days ago she was transferred to Xiangzhu Garden by the old lady's order to serve as the old maid Jindie.

And Jindie was downgraded to the third-class servant girl because of the incident that the eldest lady and the second lady of the Zhou Mansion scuffled and fell into the water five days ago. They happened to be dragged into the river together, and they were caught in the cold and sick. After a few days, the old lady was angry, but how could her granddaughter not love her, so she sent the most stable snow goose by her side to take care of her.

In this room, on the bed that hadn't been moved for a long time, a beautiful and slender white hand suddenly stretched out from the curtain. The flesh and bones are well-proportioned, the ten fingers are green, and the fingertips moved slightly inward. It collided with the silver flower hooks dotted on the veil, making a crisp sound.

Bao Chan was startled slightly by the noise, her shoulders became stiff, Xue Yan pursed her lips and eyeballs moved slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Miss, do you have any orders?"

"I've slept well, I want to get up and take a walk, let's wash up first." The voice was clear and bright, but there was a trace of usual coldness.

Baochan frowned, feeling that the coldness was a little different, but she couldn't tell what was wrong, she didn't care to think about it, she opened the curtain and called the maids in the side room to wait outside. Lined up behind Xueyan with the toiletries in hand, obediently lowered their heads.

Xueyan hung the gauze curtains with silver hooks, Zhao Wenwan had already sat up, her side face was hidden under her black black hair, only the long wing-like eyelashes drooping slightly, forming a gentle arc, With a trace of laziness after waking up, she leaned back on the pillow embroidered with peonies on the bed, and was covered with red silk embroidered with gold silk. After she woke up, she didn't lose her temper. After rinsing her mouth, she quietly spit it into the mouthwash basin handed to her. Xueyan handed her a silver tongue scraper and green salt respectively.

Baochan had already twisted the handkerchief, and wiped Zhao Wenwan's face and hands, without daring to look her in the eyes, so she hurriedly stepped back to the side after finishing.

After washing up and eating porridge, Zhao Wenwan sat in front of the vanity mirror. There were a variety of porcelain boxes in front of him, all of which were palm-sized, round, square, long, and flat. The covers were painted with flowers and birds. Xueyan and Baochan knelt aside and watched Zhao Wenwan pick up one of the rouge boxes, sniff it and put it down again, seeming to frowned, his expression still cold.

Baochan glanced at the person in the glasses who had lost a lot of weight due to a high fever, and the sharp chin was even more defined. Their eldest lady was praised as the most beautiful woman in Kyoto, and it was true. She is so beautiful, she has attracted many young masters from noble families to propose marriage, but the old lady turned her back because she was still young.Besides, Dingguo's mansion is just an ordinary family, how can it match people casually, and Zhao Wenwan is the granddaughter of Dingguo's mansion, the old lady is very concerned, she will definitely be married to a royal child with a noble status, there is no such thing people will doubt.

Brushing Zhao Wenwan's hair with a peach-wood comb in his hand, he said softly: "Miss has been ill for a few days, San Mistress can worry about it, she personally came to deliver a lot of good things, and the lily incense burned these days was made by San Mistress herself , said it has the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep, I think Miss Today's complexion is much better."

There is indeed a faint fragrance in the room, which is refreshing.

"Did you say it was served with any ingredients?"

Baochan didn't expect that Miss would ask this question, she was stunned, Xueyan was more knowledgeable, and hurriedly answered, "The maidservant came back and asked Third Miss for a gift."

"Ah."

Zhao Wenwan glanced at the small golden enamel nine-peach incense burner not far away, the blue smoke curled up, and the smoke filled the silver-white dotted pearl Liuxia flower cup placed on the side. She said something wrong, she shut her mouth and dared not say anything more, Xueyan was mixing the powder, and just touched Zhao Wenwan's face with the powder puff, she turned around, was startled for a moment, raised her hand and hit the powder puff on the ground, Surrounded by such a prudent Xueyan, Baochan happened to be distracted watching this scene, and the peach comb was so weak that she tore off a few strands of green hair, and Zhao Wenwan immediately let out a "hiss" in pain. .

The air seemed to condense in an instant, Xueyan and Baochan hurriedly knelt on the ground, holding their breath and anxiously waiting for Zhao Wenwan to speak.

Baochan knew their young lady's temperament too well, and Xueyan had heard it a lot. This eldest daughter of the Zhao family paid the most attention to her appearance, so she probably got angry just now.

The two of them lowered their heads, it was hot in June, and beads of sweat flowed down their necks into their collars.

"You two go out, you don't need to wait."

"Yes, miss." Xueyan and Baochan approached the door as if they were about to receive an amnesty, Zhao Wenwan suddenly called Baochan to a stop.

Baochan was so startled that her legs went limp, "Xiao... what do you want Miss?"

"Take that smoker out."

"Baochan will take it out now." She quickly turned back and carried the stove with Xueyan out of the room.

Zhao Wenwan raised her hand to fan the scent around her, turned her head sideways, picked up the comb and combed her hair, the waterfall-like black hair hanging down to the cushion, she paused suddenly, looking at the delicate face in the mirror was a little bit blurred When I got up, scenes flashed in the jet-black beads.

Ten miles of red makeup, the woman wears a phoenix crown and Xiapei, sits in front of a bronze mirror and paints her eyebrows and lips. The embroidered beaded hijab covered his face, and he sat on a soft cushion, straightening his body, making his figure even more graceful.

"Second Miss, the guard of honor for the Sixth Prince has arrived, so don't delay." A maid with a pretty face ran in.

Under the red hijab, the corner of the woman's bright red mouth curled into a faint and strange smile, and she stretched out a white arm, motioning for her to help her up.

Xi Niang was already waiting outside the door, joyfully carrying the bride on her back and swaying outside the house.

Outside Dingguogong's mansion, it was very lively. The Sixth Prince sat on a horse, looking very luxurious. Behind him was the guard of honor to welcome the bride. The ceremony and music were melodious. The carriage decorated with red silk was pulled by eight horses. It was majestic and solemn. A long queue lined up behind the carriage, blocking the road in front of Zhao Guogong's mansion, and the common people cheered continuously on both sides of the guards who opened the way.

Xi Niang came out with the bride on her back and placed it at the door covered with red silk. The old lady smiled happily with red eyes. Everyone in the Zhao residence watched the bride step over the brazier. The long arm held the bride's hand, but the man paused, fleeting surprise appeared on his handsome face, and then his black eyes sank, and he said sharply: "Bold woman, how dare you pretend to be the princess?"

The red hijab was violently lifted off by the man beside him, and it was Zhao Wenwan, the eldest lady of the Zhao family, who was revealed.

Everyone was surprised.

The woman stroked the hair on her temples, showing no sign of shame or panic, but instead laughed a little madly, "I am the noble daughter of the Zhao family, the one you should marry today, my lord, do you know how many years I have been looking forward to today?"

"Where is she?" The man grabbed Zhao Wenwan's arm with such force that he almost crushed the bones in his wrist.

"It's too late." She held back the pain and looked up to the sky and sneered and smiled.

Accompanied by the happy and strange laughter, soon a woman ran out of the mansion and said in a panic that the eldest lady's Xiangzhu garden had flooded, and the young lady was locked in the boudoir by some evil person and could not come out.

Everyone looked at Zhao Wenwan, who was dressed up by the bride, and immediately understood that he was so vicious that he wanted to burn his sister to death in order to marry her.

When the sixth prince heard this, he threw away the people in an instant and rushed to the mansion.

Zhao Wenwan managed to stabilize her body, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, and immediately ran into the mansion with her wedding dress in hand.The old lady didn't bring it up in one breath, and passed out. All this happened so suddenly, everyone seemed to wake up from a dream, fighting the fire, and protecting the old lady.

Zhao Wenwan chased after him, the sixth prince had already kicked open the door, thick smoke billowed in the room, and a weak voice kept coughing.The fire sprang up and tended to intensify. Zhao Wenwan stopped after he reached the door, looking at the handsome man he had loved all his life desperately trying to break through the fire for another woman.

How could they be willing to let them stay together and love each other forever, Zhao Wenwan's eyes glowed scarlet with flames, and suddenly rushed forward with all his strength, pushing away the person who was about to rush in.

Zhao Wenxi, why, why did you get his affection, obviously I met him first!The unwillingness turned into resentment, pain, and finally turned into a weird smile on the corner of the mouth, let us go to hell together, no one can get him, I can't, you—let alone.

The woman trapped in the thick smoke looked at Zhao Wenwan who suddenly rushed over and was strangled before she could react, her eyes gradually became tinged with panic.Zhao Wenwan looked, that's right, with this soft and weak expression, she coaxed everyone around her around and took away the love that originally belonged to her, even the person she loved since childhood...

The red-burned wooden beam suddenly fell down and landed beside the two of them. Zhao Wenwan was so close that he was affected, and he staggered and was forced to let go. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a red figure flashing by, and a shot on his shoulder Hit with a strong force, Zhao Wenwan fell backwards uncontrollably, and even his flesh was stinging from the scorching flames, Zhao Wenwan cried out in pain.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw the man's injured arm, but he was still holding someone tightly.Regardless of the burning pain in his back, Zhao Wenwan desperately wanted to keep the man in his arms, but saw a crumbling wooden beam on top of his head, closed his eyes, and bumped the man away without even thinking Blocking him, one hand did not forget to grab Zhao Wenxi's belt tightly, trying to die with her.

The wooden beam fell, pressing most of Zhao Wenwan's body, and the sharp and unbearable pain swept through his whole body, and he screamed hoarsely, in exchange for the man's cold glance, the coldness in his eyes did not fade, he only stayed for one look, and then He cut off the belt without mercy, and left with the woman in his arms.

"Sister, she..."

"Do it yourself."

Zhao Wenwan yelled heartbreakingly, and the stinging tears rolled down slowly, dripping on the ground, and evaporated without a trace under the crimson flames.

In front of the bronze mirror, the bright black beads blinked vigorously, the peach grate tightly clenched in his hand was stuck in the flesh, and when he regained his senses, Zhao Wenwan carefully looked at the reflected face, and the face that was submerged in the sea of ​​fire. The faces were exactly the same, and I was shocked by the scene with lingering fears.

That was the ending of the vicious female supporting role Zhao Wenwan who was running wildly on the road to death in the script and no one could stop her. As the actor, she was stunned when she woke up and faced the real Zhao Guogong, who was nothing like a prop at all. Days later figured it out.

Dingguo Duke's mansion, the daughter of the first son, and good-looking... As long as you don't try to die, you will definitely not die!
