I’ll Be the Male Lead’s Sister-in-Law
Chapter 97: Dressing
This winter is extremely cold, and the charcoal fire is weak early in the morning, and people who are freezing do not want to get up.
Jiang Mingwei wore a light blue dress with squirrel fur at the neckline, and was put on makeup by the maid sitting in front of the vanity mirror. She looked at the person in the mirror carefully. Recently, she was a little fatter and her cheeks were no longer sunken. Mrs. Jiang and the dowry maids looked very satisfied, but Jiang Mingwei felt too fat and looked big. In addition, I didn't sleep well last night, my eyes were swollen, and I looked very dull and didn't catch people.
Jiang Mingwei can only let the maid focus on pressing with powder, and try to paint her face as white as possible to highlight the facial features. She examined her makeup and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "What's happening next door recently?"
Jiang Mingwei is really upset about this and asks every other day. The maids were still enthusiastically participating at first, but were asked a lot later, and panicked when they heard Jiang Mingwei's questions.
They really don't know what Jiang Mingwei wants to hear.
All the maids are dumb with their heads down. The most decent maids have nothing to do. They can only tentatively say: "The slaves and maids have never heard of anything special. It's cold this winter, and many people have not gone out in the past few months. Even Princess An did not go out."
Jiang Mingwei was dissatisfied after hearing the results. She didn't know what she wanted to hear, but in any case, it shouldn't be Mu Mingtang's answer.
During this period of time, the royal palace of Jin Dynasty was noisy and lively, and Jiang Mingwei rarely raised her eyebrows, waiting to be passed on to Mu Mingtang's ears, so that Mu Mingtang could feel envy and jealousy. However, she secretly noticed for a month or two. The Ancestral House was always quiet as before. Jiang Mingwei couldn't help asking the maids, and only listened to the maids saying that Mu Mingtang had never gone out, and hadn't even appeared in the past few months.
What are you doing next door without showing up for a month?
Jiang Mingwei was not reconciled. After a while, he asked unintentionally, "What about King An?"
"Wang An?" The maids looked at each other and whispered, "Wang An has never heard anyone mention it before, it should be nothing special."
This is even stranger, Jiang Mingwei frowned. During this period of time, the emperor made it clear to support Xie Xuanji, and Mu Mingtang’s female stream was silent and understandable. How could Xie Xuanchen do nothing? Doesn't he panic?
Jiang Mingwei thought for a long time, but didn't quite understand what the couple next door was doing, how each one was more mysterious than the other. This period of kung fu maid had put on makeup on Jiang Mingwei. Jiang Mingwei looked around and was generally satisfied, so she took out her earrings and put them on herself.
This pair of earrings was given to her by Xie Xuanji. Jiang Mingwei has always regarded them as a decent wife. They are not allowed to touch them. They wear them by themselves. She put on one side, turned to wear the earrings on the other side, and asked, "Where is the prince?"
Jiang Mingwei didn't specifically say the title, the prince in her mouth was Xie Xuanji. The maidservants on both sides held their breath unconsciously. The eldest maid lifted his heart and said cautiously: "The prince stayed in the Wanyan side concubine yesterday, and today there is news that the side concubine will come to greet you later. If the princess waits for a long time, let’s eat first."
After speaking, everyone was silent. Jiang Mingwei snorted coldly. She looked at herself carefully dressed in the mirror, and suddenly felt disappointed.
What's the use? Today is the fifteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China. She is specially dressed elegantly and well. Firstly, it is to calm those restless women, and secondly, it is also a woman who is pleased with herself. However, Xie Xuanji sent someone over to speak for Wan Yan Duo. The side concubine will come later, why does she get up late, isn't it something everyone knows.
Jiang Mingwei's expression deteriorated obviously, and the maids did not dare to touch the mildew, and they were all taut. At this time, there was a maid outside, and Aunt Lian came to ask for peace.
The fifteenth day of the lunar new year is the big day, Xie Xuanji wants to stay in the main room, and the two consecutive mornings are the same day, all the concubines and concubines have to come to Jiang Mingwei to greet Jiang Mingwei. Jiang Mingwei deliberately squeezed her own main room frame and asked her concubine to set rules for herself every day, but the first and fifteenth days of the new year were undoubtedly the strictest.
In the past two days, no one dared to take leave.
Jiang Mingwei nodded condescendingly, and the maid drew pity in. Lianhan was still a concubine last year and fell out of favor this year. When Lianhan's momentum is strongest, he dared to say nothing to Jiang Mingwei, not to say that he won favor with Jiang Mingwei, and even wanted to divide Jiang Mingwei's stewardship. Now the feng shui turns, the love has been transferred to the foreign concubine, and Lianhan has fallen out of favor, only then remembered to please Jiang Mingwei.
Jiang Mingwei is undoubtedly very contemptuous of this, but after the joy, a kind of meticulous sorrow is also born.
Lianhan used to be so spoiled and ended up like this. How about waiting for her in a few years?
Jiang Mingwei sighed inexplicably, it was rare to see Lianhan without making things too difficult. It didn't take long for the famous concubine rooms in the mansion to arrive one after another. Lianhan looked around and asked: "Why is the concubine Wanyan late today?"
Lian Han said this sentence specifically to Jiang Mingwei. Of course, Lian Han knew that the princess gritted her teeth at this favored and background concubine, like a throat. Lianhan wanted to please Jiang Mingwei, so she yelled something that Jiang Mingwei was inconvenient to say.
After Lianhan's words came out, everyone was silent. Jiang Mingwei stroked the nails on her hands, and said lightly: "The prince has just heard the word, the side concubine is inconvenient, and may be late. No matter, let's not wait for them, let's put the meal.
The women here are all experienced people, and what do you not understand when you hear this. Lianhan was secretly annoyed that she had said the wrong thing, and was extra diligent when serving Jiang Mingwei next.
Wife and concubine are like heaven, and concubine is no longer eligible to sit down in front of his wife. When eating in the main room, they also stand aside, serving tea and water to the mother, and serving rice and vegetables.
But today Lianhan hasn't started to play, there was a noise outside, and the women in the room heard the voices and stood up: "The prince is here."
When the voice declined, a maid’s greeting came from outside. Jiang Mingwei was overjoyed and immediately greeted her. Xie Xuanji lifted the curtain and entered. Jiang Mingwei saw Huanhuan happily calling out "Lord". Before she broke up, she saw Xie Xuanji turning around and actively supporting the other person behind her.
Jiang Mingwei's smile gradually faded, Wanyan Duo saw Jiang Mingwei, bowed his head and saluted: "Wang Hao."
"It turns out that the concubine is here." Jiang Mingwei's tone was also very cold, and said, "Everyone has been waiting for the concubine for a long time, come in."
Xie Xuanji is here, so the breakfast will naturally need to be adjusted. Jiang Mingwei led Xie Xuanji into the seat and explained: "The concubine originally thought that the prince would not come to me for breakfast today, so he asked them to prepare the meal first. I neglected the prince and asked the prince to forgive me."
Xie Xuanji waved his hand and said that it was OK, Jiang Mingwei asked for a few more words before sitting down next to Xie Xuanji.
In a room, Yingying Yanyan, except Xie Xuanji, are all women, but only Jiang Mingwei and Wanyan Duo are qualified to sit down. In fact, Wanyan Duo was not qualified, but she was an exotic princess and had the status of a side concubine, so she could sit at the dinner table for a half.
The concubines who were still lifeless just now came back to life in an instant, vying to wait on them one by one. Many of them turned their eyes on Wanyan Duo. All the women in the backyard knew that the prince asked for water last night. Asking for water means accepting favor. Now that there are so many people in the backyard, one person can't finish a day. His wife Jiang Mingwei only has two days, but Wanyan Duo can dominate for several nights. The concubines look at her with jealous eyes. hate.
Wan Yan Duo pretended not to know, and ate indifferently throughout the whole process. After the meal, after several people washed their hands, Xie Xuanji suddenly talked about the outside affairs: "The New Year is coming soon. This year, natural and man-made disasters continue. My father wants to host a New Year’s Eve banquet. Three days."
Jiang Mingwei was not surprised when he heard that she was not worried this winter. So far, the affairs of the victims in Beijing have not been settled. Since ancient times, the palace has been heavy on ghosts and gods. It is not difficult to understand that the emperor wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate bad luck.
Jiang Mingwei nodded and said: "I took it down. Apart from New Year's Eve and Yuan Day, is there anything else I should pay attention to?"
Xie Xuanji is now the emperor's most important son. Jiang Mingwei is the focus of attention at this kind of banquet, and of course he cannot be careless.
Xie Xuanji paused for a while, and said vaguely: "Recently, it seems that I haven't seen my second brother for a long time."
Jiang Mingwei couldn't help but twisted her eyebrows when she heard this. It was a coincidence. She just said that the couple next door, why did Xie Xuanji ask?
Jiang Mingwei didn't know whether it was a coincidence or Xie Xuanji's deliberate beating, but did not answer the conversation for a while. On the contrary, Wan Yanduo heard it and said, "Yes, Wang An and Concubine An have not been out for a long time. I don't know if everything is fine for them, and people outside can't hear anything. It's really worrying."
Xie Xuanji glanced at Yan Duo with admiration and nodded: "Yes, this king also meant the same. My father specially told me to greet my second brother and pay more attention to my second brother's condition. Now I haven't seen my brother leave the house for a long time. I feel uneasy, so I might as well take a look at the end of the year. If there is any explanation from the second brother, we can help."
Only then did Jiang Mingwei react. It turned out that the emperor suspected that Xie Xuanchen's eyeliner that had been buried in Prince An's Mansion had been folded again, so he wanted Xie Xuanji to explore the reality. Jiang Mingwei took a concealed and displeased look at Wan Yanduo, and said with the generosity of the main room: "The prince said that the concubine has not seen his sister-in-law for some time, and I miss it very much. It is better to hit the sun when choosing a day Today, I will pay my sister-in-law an early life."
At this moment in Yulin Hall, Mu Mingtang just got up.
She rubbed her waist, really didn't even have the strength to get up. Xie Xuanchen understood the taste and became more and more uncontrollable. Mu Mingtang passed out from exhaustion every time. When he woke up the next day, his waist and legs were sore.
Yesterday Xie Xuanchen was too much. When Mu Mingtang woke up, his waist couldn't be used at all. Xie Xuanchen said that he helped her rub it, and when he rubbed it, the taste changed. She resisted and was weak, was pressed and kneaded by Haosheng for a while, and didn't get up until this hour.
Mu Mingtang leaned against the dressing table and yawned while covering his mouth while dressing. The maidservants were blushing when they saw the misty and weak eyes of the princess.
Mu Mingtang paid no attention to what hair bun she wore today. She leaned on the dressing table with one hand and fell asleep by accident. When she woke up again, she found that she was silent around her, and the maid behind her was long gone, and there was no maid in the whole room.
Xie Xuanchen was sitting next to her, playing with the tassels on her sideburns, and saw her open his eyes and smiled: "Wake up?"
Mu Mingtang got angry as soon as he saw him, changed his direction and closed his eyes, completely ignoring him.
Xie Xuanchen didn't think he was disgusted, so he switched to the other side expertly and asked, "Really so sleepy? Can you fall asleep after combing your hair for a while?"
"How long did I sleep last night and why I was sleepy, don't you know?"
Xie Xuanchen was speechless, he gently embraced Mu Mingtang's waist and asked, "Are you still tired?"
Mu Mingtang closed his eyes and didn't want to bother him. Xie Xuanchen felt wronged, he really can't be blamed, it's just that Mu Mingtang needs more exercise. He almost coaxed and said, "Okay, blame me. Eat first, then go back to sleep for a while, if you can't sleep, I can accompany you."
"No." Mu Mingtang vetoed, "I can sleep, I will go by myself."
"How can this be done?" Xie Xuanchen refused righteously. "I remember the last time I was sleepy and dragged you to accompany me. Now I have to make up for your sleep. How can I know if I don't repay it? We will go back to sleep later. , Now go to dinner. Yes, you are too sleepy to walk now, then I will hold you."
Mu Mingtang was angry and laughing, opened his eyes and pushed his hand: "You come here, let go!"
Xie Xuanchen wanted to hug her more and more as soon as she saw it, the tassels on Mu Mingtang's bun had just been loosened by Xie Xuanchen, and now Mu Mingtang hid back, the tassels swayed and faltered. The two of them were playing around, and suddenly they heard the maid reporting outside: "The prince, the princess, the king of Jin and the imperial concubine, and the concubine."
After speaking, the tassel finally couldn't bear it and fell to the ground with a click. Mu Mingtang frowned and murmured: "What are they here for?"
Xie Xuanchen turned a deaf ear to her, picked up the fringed hairpin around her, and inserted it in Mu Mingtang's hair again: "Follow them, no see."
