foxy charmer

Qiu Baishao stayed with her mother for a day, and the palace invited her back at noon the next day.

Last night I heard that Mrs. Qiu passed out after kneeling for two hours, Qiu Baishao didn't take it seriously, she had already used the name of prince to give Qiu's father sweetness, not afraid that Qiu's father would ignore his mother.Before she left, she took Yi'er away and replaced her with two maids from the palace to be by her mother's side, sending her news every day, so that she would know if there was anything wrong.

As soon as he returned to Baishao Courtyard, his servants came to report that the third prince will return to Beijing tonight.

During the period after the prince left, many things happened. First, the mother suddenly fell ill, and then the queen mother invited her into the palace.Melo helped a lot in these two matters, she was ashamed of Melo, she made a decision early in the morning, and planned to persuade the prince to visit the princess more in the future.

She is not on a firm footing now, even if Melo is eradicated, the few people in the palace will not agree to let her be the third princess, not to mention that Yu Chili has already told her that if he wants to fight for the throne, he must have important officials in the court With the help of Hubu Shangshu, the daughter of Hubu Shangshu will enter the palace sooner or later.

With Melo around, no matter how wronged Shang Shu's daughter is, she has to be a side concubine, but if the position of Melo's concubine is vacant, having a new concubine may not be a good thing.

Thinking of this, Qiu Baishao was in a daze.

Hubu Shangshu is not a glamorous but powerless minister of Guanglu Temple. When she enters the mansion, the prince will definitely go to her room often.

"Princess, what's wrong with you, you don't look good." When Yi'er came in with a sweet soup, she saw Qiu Baishao sitting on a chair in a daze, she seemed a little lonely.

Qiu Baishao came back to her senses, straightened her sleeves, "It's nothing, it's too hot."

Yi'er laughed and said, "I know it's hot and you don't have an appetite. This is the sweet soup that the servant asked the small kitchen to make for you. You can try it. It has been soaked in the well water for more than half an hour."

"Bring it here." She stretched out her hand, and the red porcelain bowl was cold to the touch, and the sweet soup inside was crystal clear and exuded a refreshing sweet fragrance.

Qiu Baishao took a sip, and said in surprise, "Since when is the craftsmanship of the small kitchen so good, I have never eaten this thing before."

"This is the royal chef sent by the palace, called Bizhu, who cooks for the prince. Princess Mei said that the prince doesn't use the kitchen food often, so she sent it to us directly."

"The princess has a heart." Qiu Baishao wiped the corner of her lips, "The weather is hot, go and give the princess a bowl."

Yi'er was taken aback, she had been serving her aunt in the autumn house during this time, and she didn't know that her master had been with Melo every day, so she was not convinced, "This is the cook assigned to the prince in the palace, even you are just me. If you have nothing to eat, why send it to her?"

Qiu Baishao put the bowl on the table, and made a cold sound of porcelain and wood hitting each other, "I will call her Wangfei no matter what, you are more polite than me."

Yi'er was taken aback by the master's sudden turn of face, she was puzzled and asked cautiously, "Master, don't you hate her?"

"When did I hate her?" There were other servants outside, and it would be terrible if this word got out.She has neither family background nor talent, the only thing she can point to is virtue.Because the prince stayed in her yard for a whole month and neglected the concubine, she was already scolded as a coquettish outsider, and if people knew that she was disrespectful to the concubine, I'm afraid she would really be compared with Daji.

Qiu Baishao frowned, and stared at Yi'er, "She is the princess, the sister I want to serve now, the same as the prince. Hurry up and deliver things, don't talk so much."

"Oh..." Yi'er bowed aggrievedly, "The servant girl is going now."

Haitang Pavilion is far away from Baishaoyuan, and the weather is still so hot, she doesn't want to go at all.

Not wanting to go home, Yi'er went to ask Bizhu to make another bowl, "The princess asked me to send a copy to Haitang Pavilion, hurry up, I'm in a hurry to get it."

Bi Zhu is an aunt who is nearly thirty years old. She smiled apologetically when she heard this, "Miss Yi'er, how can I make this cold food faster? It takes half an hour to cool it with well water alone."

"The Haitang Pavilion is so far away, even if the ice cubes are sent there, they will already be heated. I don't need ice, just give it to me when it's cooked." Yi'er lifted the lid of the stove and took a look, "Master Said that you are good at craftsmanship, and the prince will come back to eat tonight, so you can show some housekeeping skills."

"It should be, the princess praised it."

Seeing her docile and obedient, Yi'er nodded in satisfaction, and asked casually, "By the way, did you cook for that master in the palace before?"

"I don't have any skills, and I don't want to be favored by any master. I have always been doing odd jobs in the imperial dining room." Bi Zhu replied with lowered hands.

Yi'er was surprised, "You are so good at doing odd jobs, so what does a real royal chef look like?"

"The girl is joking." Bizhu smiled, and then started to work.

Yi'er stood aside, waiting for Bizhu to be ready, then sent it to Haitang Pavilion, didn't even bother to enter the door, handed it to the little maid at the door, and left, saying that Baishao courtyard was busy.

When it was sent to Melo, it was still hot.

"It's such a hot day, why does Aunt Bi Zhu bring you hot soup?" Qiu Shi was very puzzled, "She cooks for the Empress Dowager, so she shouldn't make such a mistake."

The bowl of hot sweet soup was placed on the table, and Melo scooped it up with a porcelain spoon, "My lord is going to have dinner at Baishao Courtyard tonight, the small kitchen must be too busy to take care of it." She put it down. Spoon, waved his hand, "Let it cool for a while, give it to the servants to eat, I don't have an appetite right now."

"Yes." Qiushi put away the bowl, seeing his master's sleepy look, he was too sad to speak.

Bi Zhuyuan was given to the master by the Queen Mother, but had to be sent to the Bai Shao Yuan.The hotter the weather, the master couldn't eat half a bowl of rice a day, and he lost a lot of weight.

Doting on concubines and destroying wives, the third prince was really delusional. She cursed that Qiu Baishao would never have a child.

It was sweltering in summer, and Melo hid in the room and read a book for half a day. When she looked up from the book, the afterglow outside was almost gone.The evening breeze is gentle, and it is rare to have a cool time in a day.

"Qiushi, get my jade flute and stand outside." She got up, "I've been sitting all day, my legs are weak."

"There are many mosquitoes outside, bite you carefully."

"It's okay, just hang two sachets." Melo stroked her waist. Not only did her legs become weak after sitting for a long time, but her waist also became sore.

Speaking of the waist, I could always smell a pungent medicine smell from the concubine's body in the past, but I haven't smelled it these days after the prince left.

Melo lowered his eyes.

Now she doesn't need to serve the bed, nor does she need to be a housekeeper, indeed she enjoys a lot more happiness than Qiu Baishao.

Qiu Shi took Merlot's jade flute and walked with her in the corridor. The cool wind blew by, making the branches and leaves rustle, which made people feel refreshed.

Melo looked up, and the moon was about to rise, and a thin white streak swept across the purple-gray sky.The sky here is light, the evening wind is light, and even the cicadas' singing becomes light after the sun is behind.

"Sunset back to ride, Changchuan shines in the sunset." Melo stretched out his hand, followed the world, and smiled faintly, "The time when the prince came back was very good, and with the side concubine to accompany him, this situation must be even more pleasant." color."

As soon as she finished speaking, an abrupt male voice sounded from behind, "You are generous."

Both master and servant were startled, they turned around and looked back, and saw Yu Chili standing with his hands behind his back, standing not far from them.

Melo quickly realized, "I've seen the prince."

Yu Chili looked at her a few times, the woman seemed to be a little thinner than when he first saw her, and her complexion was also a little worse, wearing a blue skirt, she looked wimpy and frail.

"Get up." He nodded, beckoned her to come over, and sat down on the corridor together.

Melo sat far away on the other side of Yu Chili, and said softly, "Why is the prince here?"

"My king's mansion, where is this king not allowed to go?" Yu Chili raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, the concubine made a slip of the tongue." Melo bowed his head.Ever since she met Yu Chili, she had never displeased him.

Yu Chili looked at her, she had a jade flute resting on her lap, it was translucent and crystal clear, whiter than her complexion.The first beauty is naturally talented and beautiful. When they came back from the palace that day, Melo just glanced at his book and knew that he was reading Wu Bei Zhi, which showed that there was indeed some ink in his stomach.

"Shao'er told this king that you have helped her a lot during the past few days when this king was away." He stretched out his hand, sat closer to Melo, and held her hand.That hand looks like jade, and the touch is as delicate and warm as white jade.

Yuchili calmed down a lot, "If you were so considerate and steady before, how could I have neglected you. From now on, I will come to your yard on the first and fifteenth day of every month, and let those aunts Greetings to you in the coming day, you don't have to stay in this courtyard, when you have energy, you can go to the garden with Shao Er more often."

Suddenly being held by an unfamiliar hand, Melo shrank back reflexively.Did not break free.

Yu Chili continued, "Shao'er likes you. I gave you so many jewels and didn't see her wearing them very often, but now she uses all your things on her dressing table. Now that Chaozhong is busy, I may be You can't always take care of the mansion, you are the princess, and you are one year older than her, so you need to help take care of her."

Melo listened, twitched the corners of her mouth, and smiled shallowly, "Yes, sister Qiu is diligent and considerate, and my concubine also likes her very much."

Yu Chili nodded.There was silence between the two.

The evening wind blew past, and the temperature of the last afterglow of the setting sun was also blown away. Today's wind is cooler.

"It's windy outside, let's go into the house." Yu Chili turned sideways, and hooked the wind-blown hair around the woman's ears behind her ears, "Yeliang, don't be sick."

As soon as he finished speaking, Melo turned his head and covered his lips and coughed.

Qiu Shi hurriedly stepped forward, patted the back of the fearful master, and said anxiously, "Master sleeps too much today, missed the time to take the medicine and refused to drink any more, you always drink one or the other like this, when will you be able to drink?" recover."

Yu Chili's hand stopped in the air, seeing Melo's face flushed from coughing, and his brows furrowed, he said to Qiu Shi, "Go and get some water for your master to drink."

"Hey, servant girl, let's go now."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Melo suppressed the itch in her throat, her beautiful eyes flushed, and she coughed with tears, "No, it's okay." After she finished speaking with difficulty, she had to turn her head and cough again for a while.

"It's just that the concubine is sick now, and she doesn't dare to get close to the lord, for fear of passing on the sick cough cough... sickness to the lord." She looked at Yu Chili apologetically, and covered half of her face with the handkerchief in her hand, Only a pair of tearful eyes remained.

The warmth that would rise immediately dissipated, and Yuchili didn't want to face Melo at all, but Shaoer urged him to see the princess, so he came here.Now Melo himself refuses, and he is happy to leave.

"Okay, then I won't bother you to recuperate, just take a good rest, and I'll come see you later." He said, got up and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

"Cough cough cough...cough cough..." Melo supported Lvzhu, she watched the man's back going further and further away, put down the handkerchief covering her lips, and restrained her coughing.

She closed her eyes and leaned against the pillar, and let out a desolate smile.

I didn't expect anything at all.That's all.

The author has something to say:

Mello: If you apologize to me well, I will forgive you.

Third Prince: Me?Apologize to you?Are you crazy?I am the prince, what are you?

(Melo was almost so angry that he coughed and fainted.)
