I’ll Be the Male Lead’s Sister-in-Law
Chapter 98: Bathe
Mu Mingtang glared at Xie Xuanchen, naturally he couldn't let Xie Xuanchen mess around.
Xie Xuanji, Jiang Mingwei, and Wan Yanduo were greeted into the main hall. They sat down for the first time and drank a cup of tea, only to see that the two protagonists were late.
Jiang Mingwei immediately noticed with a sharp eye that the hairpin on Mu Mingtang's temple was loose.
Early in the morning, just combing the hair, the maid would not make such a mistake, mostly temporary hairpins. This makes people think about what they have done before they need to reform their hairpins.
What Jiang Mingwei could see, Wan Yanduo naturally saw it. The host and guest saw the ceremony again, and Mu Mingtang asked: "The King Jin and the Princess Jin are rare guests. What brings you three here today?"
Xie Xuanji sat upright, lowered his eyes slightly, and said politely: "Sister-in-law, I am ashamed to be a servant. I have not seen my brother and sister-in-law leave the house for a long time. I am worried that my brother-in-law and sister-in-law have what's missing.
After Xie Xuanji finished speaking, he saw some meaningful smiles on Xie Xuanchen's face. Xie Xuanchen didn't want to say anything when he showed up, but now he laughed suddenly, which made Xie Xuanji startled and couldn't guess why.
Mu Mingtang is embarrassed. Isn't she not free to go out this time? She doesn't even have enough time to sleep, so why go out? Afraid of embarrassment on his face, Mu Mingtang quickly lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
Mu Mingtang thought he was covering up well, but someone was staring at her. Jiang Mingwei had been paying close attention to Mu Mingtang's expression out of some curiosity. She found that after Xie Xuanji asked, Xie Xuanchen smiled strangely, but Mu Mingtang showed some tension. Mu Mingtang lowered her head to drink tea. When she raised her wrist, the bracelet slipped off, revealing a humble purple green.
The purple green was on the side of the wrist, as if it had accidentally hit something and knocked out. Jiang Mingwei and Wanyan Duo have seen it, and they both pursed their lips or raised their eyebrows, and they all guessed why.
As a princess, Mu Mingtang didn't do heavy work, so he could hit something. Only in certain uncontrolled circumstances, such as accidentally hitting the edge of the bed, will the bruise come out at that location.
Jiang Mingwei and Wanyan Duo were speechless, Jiang Mingwei suddenly felt ironic. She remembered that when she was newly married, she came to Mu Mingtang to show off. At that time, she felt full of herself that she was married to the right person, and that she would be prosperous and wealthy for the rest of her life. But Mu Mingtang had to stay a widow for a lifetime, which was extremely pitiful.
Who would have thought that in just one year, the situation would turn upside down. Mu Mingtang had no intention of revealing the traces on his body, but Jiang Mingwei was pricked. Just as no one expected, Xie Xuanchen didn't die, he resisted the poisonous hair and returned to the political arena.
Xie Xuanchen is well-known for his high talent and strength. He is probably not very soft when he is in bed.
The main hall fell into a strange silence, when the maid stopped at the door and stopped talking. Seeing all the masters looking over, the maid could only bite the bullet and step forward and whispered for instructions: "Princess, the kitchen asks, do you want breakfast?"
Xie Xuanji was surprised when he heard Weishi: "Second brother and sister-in-law have not eaten breakfast yet?"
When they come to visit, they will naturally not come early in the morning, and will inevitably pick a time that is suitable for both parties. Now that it is already halfway through the morning, Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang have not eaten breakfast yet?
Mu Mingtang blinked, awkwardly not knowing how to speak. They got up late today, and she accidentally fell asleep just now and had a fuss with Xie Xuanchen...
She didn't expect it to be this point.
Xie Xuanchen was very stable on the big scene, and looked calm when he saw it, and said, "Isn't it unusual to wake up late in winter?"
It’s getting late in winter, and it’s cold, making it easier to sleep in bed than in summer. However, Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang's wake-up time is no longer just about staying in bed.
After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, everyone was embarrassed. He didn't actually say anything, but he seemed to say a lot.
Mu Mingtang was afraid that Xie Xuanchen would say something amazing, and quickly intercepted: "We are too late for dinner today, making King Jin and Concubine Jin laugh. The three have eaten, why use it together?"
Mu Mingtang's words were purely polite. She didn't plan to invite the three people in front of her to dinner, and she didn't feel relieved to touch the food in the An Palace when she wanted to come to Xie Xuanji. She thought that Xie Xuanji would resign after she finished speaking, but she didn't expect Xie Xuanji to actually bow her hand and thank you: "There is second wife Lao."
Mu Mingtang was speechless for a while, and could only take these people to the seat.
Xie Xuanji hadn't said his intention today. He was unwilling to return without success. He couldn't delay his brothers and sisters' meals. He could only bite the bullet and accompany Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen to dinner. Although there were chopsticks in front of me, none of the three of the Jin Dynasty Mansion moved. A table full of breakfast, only Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang moved the chopsticks.
Xie Xuanchen scooped up the porridge for Mu Mingtang and put a shrimp for her: "You didn't eat much last night. Today, the shrimp is light, eat more."
Mu Mingtang is not picky about eating, Xie Xuanchen understands her tastes, basically what to eat. Xie Xuanji looked at the scene at the dining table, vaguely feeling familiar, except that there was an extra face on the table today.
He remembered that when he had just married Jiang Mingwei, he came to the Ancestral Palace to greet him, and happened to have a meal with the couple. At that time, Mu Mingtang took care of Xie Xuanchen, and Mu Mingtang also disliked Xie Xuanchen for eating too little. Unexpectedly, it is still a similar scene today, and the situation is completely reversed.
Xie Xuanji couldn't tell whether this was true or whether the opposing couple deliberately did it.
The three people in Prince Jin's Mansion had their own thoughts, but no matter what they thought, after carefully watching the meeting, they quietly dispelled the conjecture of making a show. Language can be pretended, but actions can't deceive people. Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang have a calm look, and their small movements are natural, not like deliberate shows.
So this is how they really get along? Xie Xuanji and the three of them felt that they were shown up.
After finally waiting for the two people to eat almost the same, Xie Xuanji said about what he came to today: "Second brother, this year, there have been natural and man-made disasters. The father wanted to take advantage of the New Year to eliminate bad luck. The New Year’s weather is going well and the country is peaceful. Because there are many ceremonial occasions, it would be great if the second brother could attend."
Mu Mingtang understood that it was the emperor who asked Xie Xuanji to be a lobbyist and moved Xie Xuanchen out as a mascot. Since Xie Xuanchen drove people out in public, many people have been privately inquiring about what happened on the Mid-Autumn Festival and what happened to Xie Xuanchen's illness. Not only people in the capital inquired, but even many generals in other places were active.
This year is also a coincidence. In the Shangyuan Shi Palace, the lamp was offered to Xie Xuanchen. In winter, there was such a severe cold disaster. People will inevitably raise rumors about the improper position of the emperor and punishment from heaven. The emperor was afraid that the rumors would be fermented, and even more afraid that God would commit sins, so he wanted to regroup and inspire people in the New Year.
At this time, the emperor moved Xie Xuanchen out and asked Xie Xuanchen to cooperate, undoubtedly he wanted to convey to the outside world the illusion that Xie Xuanchen and the emperor were still in harmony, and to stabilize the generals who were ready to move in the field. The emperor couldn't say it himself, so he asked Xie Xuanji to come over, first to find out what Xie Xuanchen was doing without leaving the house, and secondly, he asked Xie Xuanchen to come forward.
Mu Mingtang didn't speak, but quietly looked at Xie Xuanchen. After washing his hands, Xie Xuanchen took a dry kerchief and wiped the water marks on his fingers. His fingers are slender and well-proportioned, and his flesh and blood are well-balanced, looking like a jade carving. And these hands are more clean and delicate than the literati. In fact, there are subtle calluses on the sides of the fingers. They are proficient in archery with bows, knives and guns.
Xie Xuanchen wiped his fingers slowly, and the others on the table didn't dare to urge, they watched in silence. Jiang Mingwei hadn't noticed before, but now he discovered that Xie Xuanchen really didn't look like a soldier in the war, he was too beautiful himself, even his hands were so beautiful.
No wonder the Bei Rong people broke their eyes after seeing him. To be honest, Xie Xuanchen really looked like a little white face when he was still.
These hands seemed to have been rubbed for a long time, and the eyes of all the people at the table fell on his hands, forced to appreciate Xie Xuanchen's beautiful hands. Finally, Xie Xuanchen threw the veil on the end plate and unexpectedly agreed: "Okay."
He answered so smoothly that even Xie Xuanji hesitated: "Second brother, you..."
"New Year's Eve Three Heavenly Palace Banquet and Sacrifice, apart from that, are there others?"
Xie Xuanji swallowed what he hadn't said just now and said, "No more."
"Yeah." Xie Xuanchen replied casually. After speaking, seeing a few other people not moving, he raised his eyebrows slowly, "Why, I still want to save lunch?"
Xie Xuanji woke up like a dream, and quickly stood up and said goodbye. No matter what purpose Xie Xuanchen agreed to, he was willing to cooperate, it was really good.
Xie Xuanji led the two wives, big and small, and left. After everyone had left, Mu Mingtang asked, "How did you agree? I thought you would ignore them."
Xie Xuanchen sighed silently: "I really don't want to talk to them. But the foreign enemy is in front, and there is no time to fight. This year Bei Rong was seriously affected. When the spring begins to thaw, Bei Rong will most likely harass the border. Now Zhuozhou has no soldiers, only the most common ones. The city’s defense forces, once something happens, it’s too late to return."
The emperor wanted to use Xie Xuanchen to decorate the peace, and Xie Xuanchen also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Yuanri's court to remind the troops again. The two parties have goals for each other, no wonder Xie Xuanchen agreed when Xie Xuanji spoke.
Mu Mingtang also felt worried about the outside affairs. She silently held Xie Xuanchen's hand and looked at him worriedly. Xie Xuanchen instantly put away his expression and walked in with Mu Mingtang: "The big things have to be done step by step. Let's go back to sleep."
Mu Mingtang was still distressed for him just now, and now he exposed his true nature in a word, Mu Mingtang immediately took back his distress, and unbearably patted Xie Xuanchen's hand: "Let go. What are you supposed to do, don't come in!"
The emperor wanted to take the New Year's Eve to be frustrated, the New Year's Eve banquet was extremely grand, and the firecrackers in the palace were deafening at the moment of leaving the old and welcoming the new. If it is really a nian beast, I am afraid it will also be scared away.
Mu Mingtang was shocked to the point that his whole body smelled of fire, and when he returned home, he just wanted to take a bath immediately.
But she is wearing makeup today, so she has to remove her makeup first. Mu Mingtang opened his hair and put the pearl and jade jewelry on the dressing table. Xie Xuanchen looked at it for a while and suddenly got excited and sent the maids down. He came to help Mu Mingtang.
While removing the hairpin that fixed his hair, Mu Mingtang said to Xie Xuanchen: "Comb the back hair, yes, it's the silver hair comb with a row of green beads."
Xie Xuanchen pulled it out carefully, for fear that it would catch Mu Mingtang's hair. There were fewer and fewer jewelry in the bun, and finally Mu Mingtang pulled out the hosta, and his long hair fell like a waterfall. Xie Xuanchen watched Mu Mingtang comb her hair smoothly, and she tickled her long hair with itchy hands, playing around with her fingers.
Mu Mingtang took it back several times to no avail and could only let him go. She combed her hair, looked at the mirror and let out a long sigh of relief.
"I finally came back, standing with such heavy jewellery all day, I was exhausted."
Seeing this, Xie Xuanchen held down Mu Mingtang's head and slowly kneaded the acupuncture points for her: "Thanks for your hard work, it will be fine after a few days."
Mu Mingtang's hair is now loose, and Xie Xuanchen's fingers are shuttled in the meantime, like running water passing by the fingertips, it is soft and smooth, and the heart is itchy. Mu Mingtang didn't pay attention to this. She took a veil and looked at Xie Xuanchen in the mirror after hearing the words: "I'm tired, not because of the banquet."
Xie Xuanchen stopped answering these words. He smiled without saying a word, and when he saw Mu Mingtang wet his veil, he asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"
"Remove the fat from your mouth." Mu Mingtang didn't care, and replied casually, "I'm going to take a bath later, so I must wipe off the makeup on my face first."
Xie Xuanchen said "Oh" and suddenly said to Mu Mingtang, "You turn around, there is something on your face that has not been wiped clean."
Mu Mingtang didn't think much, turned his cheeks subconsciously, but Xie Xuanchen leaned over and grabbed her lips.
Mu Mingtang was caught off guard. She really thought that Xie Xuanchen was going to help her wipe the marks on her face, but she didn't expect him to come suddenly. Mu Mingtang was pressed backwards, his arms propped up on the stage, his sleeves were swept unintentionally, and a large piece of hairpin ring was swept away.
Xie Xuanchen turned a deaf ear to the sound of the hairpin's collision. He bit Mu Mingtang's lower lip and carefully scratched the mouth fat on it. Gradually, he wanted to explore inside. Xie Xuanchen finally let go. Mu Mingtang was already pressed down on the dressing table. She panted and gave Xie Xuanchen a shy look: "What are you doing?"
"Remove your makeup." Xie Xuanchen didn't know it, rubbing his fingers on Mu Mingtang's red lips, seeming to linger, "I'll just do it."
Mu Mingtang patted Xie Xuanchen angrily, but now she was half lying on the dressing table, with a slight movement of her sleeves, she swept down many bottles and boxes. Mu Mingtang didn't dare to move, so he could only threaten Xie Xuanchen with a non-persuasive tone: "Don't make trouble, there will be business tomorrow."
"Yes, Chaohe can't be delayed." Xie Xuanchen said, hugging Mu Mingtang in this position directly, "So we must hurry up and not waste time."
Mu Mingtang suddenly jumped into the air, subconsciously encircling Xie Xuanchen's shoulders. The weightlessness on her back made her panicked, and she could only hold Xie Xuanchen's shoulders while complaining: "Let go, I have to take a bath."
"Why can't it be washed." Xie Xuanchen muttered to himself, "It should be better if there is water."
Mu Mingtang was shocked when Xie Xuanchen was holding her and walking towards the clean room, feeling a sudden crisis: "What are you going to do?"
"Don't be afraid, it's what you think." Xie Xuanchen has already walked into the Jingfang. He was very extravagant when he built the mansion. He even built a luxurious bath in the Jingfang with a special water pipe for water supply. At this moment, hot water has been put in the bath and the temperature is right. Xie Xuanchen put Mu Mingtang aside on the high stool and said to himself: "I don't believe it. I can still make marks on you today."
Xie Xuanchen is a person who neither admits defeat but also has the ability to execute. If one thing fails to meet expectations, he will practice repeatedly, and there will always be a perfect day.
If he still can't, it means he hasn't practiced hard enough, and he hasn't tried enough ways.
