foxy charmer

Chapter 18

Naturally, Qingying also saw Qiu Baishao, she rolled her eyes angrily, and muttered in a low voice: bad luck.

"A rare guest, Concubine Qiu is not with the prince, why did she come to my broken yard?" Unlike Melo, she has a very sharp temper.

Qiu Baishao loosened and clenched her hands in her sleeves, her well-manicured nails sank into the flesh, leaving marks.

She walked over and bowed, "I've seen the princess."

It was Princess Wang, not Sister Mei.

Melo was taken aback for a moment, she realized something, quickly put down the pen in her hand, came out from behind the table, and took Qiu Baishao by the hand.

"She came to see me." Melo turned her head and explained to Qingying, "I forgot the time. I had an appointment with Bai Shao this morning. Let's play together next time."

She seldom called Bai Shao outside before, and always called her side concubine out of courtesy.

Qiu Baishao didn't say a word, she let Melo hold her hand, and glanced at the handwriting on the table.

The words were vivid and clear, different from hers, and most importantly - she couldn't understand what was written on it.

"Second sister has an appointment with Concubine Qiu?" Qingying raised her eyebrows, "What is the appointment, can you bring me with you?" She did not intend to let Qiu Baishao go.

"Appointment..." Melo swallowed the word "Xuezheng" that he was about to say, and changed his words, "Appointment to go to the garden to pick dew."

Qingying was stunned for a moment, then let out a chuckle, she looked up at the sky, "My son's dew has dried up long ago. It's hot, and it's a waste of time to go to the garden. Why don't you stay and let's play with flying flowers together?" order."

She stared at Qiu Baishao, not letting go of every look on her face with great interest.

Melo felt that the hand he was holding became cold and slippery, and the palm was wet.She strengthened her strength a bit and pulled him even tighter, while smiling at Qingying, "Another day, I will leave with Bai Shao first."

"That's fine, next time Second Sister wants to play, remember to bring me along." Qingying waved her handkerchief and smiled wantonly.In the end, when Melo was present, she had to take care of Melo's face.

Melo nodded, affirmed in his mouth, and walked out without stopping.

She knew that Qiu Baishao didn't feel comfortable hearing these words.She is so strong, she lights up the lamp every day and works hard as if she is going to be the champion, because she is afraid that others will talk about her background and superficiality.

"What Qingying said just now..." She dragged Qiu Baishao to the garden, and said carefully, "Don't worry about it, she is the daughter of Shang Shu, she always has a little temper."

"I understand." Qiu Baishao frowned, she used honorifics.

Melo opened her eyes, she helplessly supported Qiu Baishao's shoulder, "Bai Shao, are you going to have a divorce with me, just because of Qingying's words?"

Qiu Baishao bowed her head.

There were two kinds of handwriting on the piece of paper on the table just now, one was Melo's cursive script, the other was clear lower case script, the two were completely different, but they were so harmonious when they were written on the same piece of paper.Because they are the same, even though the fonts are different, they are taught by the same famous teacher and trained in the same way, and the muscles and bones in the characters are all the same graceful and elegant.

Qiu Baishao couldn't understand, and she didn't even know how to pronounce some words.

"Princess is overthinking." She turned her face away, wanting to slap herself as soon as she opened her mouth.

What is she having a temper with? Sister Mei and Qingying are old acquaintances, she should be lucky, maybe she wants to see Sister Mei being bullied by Qingying.

One of them is the daughter of Guanglu Temple, and the other is the daughter of Hubu Shangshu. There are only a few famous families in the capital. It is normal for girls of the same age to have social relations.

She had finally met someone who treated her well besides her mother, who was she showing this cold face to?

Qiu Baishao gritted her teeth. She knew that she was inferior. In front of talented women who were proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she was oppressed by the deep inferiority complex and couldn't breathe.

This inferiority complex had been towards Melo before, but Melo skillfully avoided it with a gentle attitude, and gradually turned into admiration.But under Qingying's deliberate ridicule, it turned into monstrous jealousy.

She was jealous that Qingying was born rich and powerful, that Qingying was able to study and learn art, that Qingying was equal to her as soon as she entered the palace, and that Qingying...was so close to Melo.

When they were talking, Qiu Baishao couldn't speak.An invisible wall separates her, even if she is silent, but when the real famous daughters stand together, she is only left behind.

She knew that she was venting her anger, and she was venting her anger on Mello again.

"It's getting late, the concubine is resigning." From the beginning to the end, she didn't glance at Melo, "The princess should also go back and rest."

Looking at the indifferent woman in front of her, Melo opened her lips, and let out a mournful voice between a moan and a sob, "You don't want to call me Sister Mei... I thought, the day before yesterday, you said that you would be with me forever. For me, it is sincere."

Her articulation was slight, trembling with the meaning of pain.Qiu Baishao was stunned for a moment, her eye circles were inexplicably red and sour.

She was more wronged than Mello.

"There is Qing side concubine accompanying Sister Mei, and I'm here, so it's annoying." She said.

The ladder she was on was already thousands of feet away from Melo, and no matter how hard she tried, she would still be unable to reach it, but Qingying had already stood by Melo's side.

"I'm just a casual acquaintance with her, how can I compare with you!" Melo held Qiu Baishao's hand and said eagerly, "I just met her a few times before, since she entered the mansion, when did you see her?" I go to see her?"

Qiu Baishao was stunned for a moment, then she remembered, the hot weather was so hot, the concubine was exempted from two months of greetings, only once every half a month.Qingying only offered tea to Melo on the first day of her half month's stay in the mansion, not even paying her respects. As for Meluo, she stayed in Haitang Pavilion every day and never set foot in Qingying's courtyard.

If we had a good relationship, how could we not see each other for so long.As Melo said, they were just nodding acquaintances.

This sentence made the bitterness of jealousy and grievance dissipate suddenly, like a light beam dispersing the thick fog, and the world became clear.Qiu Baishao could smell the warm aroma of black tea again.Those willow eyes returned to their former look, and the corners of her mouth curved.

"Yes, I misunderstood my sister." She apologized in a low voice, but there was no apology in the corners of her eyes and brows, she was full of secret joy, and also a little shy.

How can I compare with you.

She chewed this sentence repeatedly, chewed it up, swallowed it, and hid it in the most hidden treasure box in her body.As if taking some nourishing tonic, a layer of fresh rosiness appeared on that face.

Seeing her look like a little girl, Mello couldn't help laughing.She took Qiu Baishao's hand and went to Haitang Pavilion, "Come on, I will teach you how to learn the zither today."

"Yeah." Qiu Baishao nodded, she had never been so happy before, obviously there was nothing to be happy about, but she was just happy, her heart fluttered like floating in the clouds, gorgeous and light, for a long time None of them landed.

How can I compare with you...

She didn't know how many times she secretly recalled this sentence along the way, and the joy in the corners of her eyes became more intense every time she thought about it.

In Melo's eyes, Qingying, the prostitute's daughter of Hubu Shangshu, who is both talented and beautiful, cannot be compared with her.

No one has ever said such nice words to Qiu Baishao. She will not take the love words from Yu Chili's mouth seriously, because Qiu Baishao knows that it is a love that she designed step by step, but Melo is different. Melo pretended to be virtuous and sensible, but after she showed her arrogant fangs, Melo still regarded her like jade.

Qiu Baishao pursed her lips hard, she tried hard to control herself not to be too happy.

How can she compare with you.

But she didn't hold back very tightly, and there was always excitement overflowing from the corners of her eyes and brows or from the corners of her lips.

Qiu Baishao doesn't feel cold anymore, now the sun is just right, gentle and amiable, it makes the whole body comfortable and warms the spirit.

The two went back together, Melo looked at Qiu Baishao reviewing the fingering, and after practicing for a while, she remembered to ask, "By the way, didn't you serve the bed last night, why did you come here so early, the lord has already had breakfast ?"

"My lord left early today because I had something to do, so I just used some and came here." Qiu Baishao didn't tell her that she hadn't eaten yet.

Melo nodded, and his eyes were fixed on the slender fingers on the string again.

"You don't seem to like to paint your nails on weekdays." She asked.

Qiu Baishao stopped what she was doing, and went to look at her nails, she explained, "Sister Mei doesn't know, unless the daughters of the people are rich and wealthy, they don't dress up so elaborately. When I was in Qiufu, even my sister-in-law never dyed her nails."

She can work hard on her face, but if she even dyes her nails, it will be too eye-catching and will definitely cause trouble.

"That's just right, I'm going to dye it today, you can come with me." Melo took her hand and watched it carefully, "Your fingers are slender, it must look good when dyed."

Qiu Baishao hesitated and said, "I can't bear the beauty, I should dye it with my sister." Although she has never dyed flowers before, she also knows that dyeing flowers is nothing more than using cardamom, peony, rose, begonia, etc. She knows that she can only be regarded as Xiaojiabiyu , suddenly dye the nails blood red, it will look seductive and abrupt.

"Who said it must be gorgeous." Melo became interested, and she stopped teaching Qiu Baishao to play the zither, and pulled her up, "Just now in the garden, I saw a pool of pink and green in the pool, and the lotus flowers were in full bloom. Just right, let's go pick two flowers, mash them into mud and add some powder, and apply them on the nails and it will turn into a thin pink."

"Sister Mei," Qiu Baishao dragged her back, dumbfounded, "It's already late, your clothes will be sweaty when you run outside, and it's time for you to take a nap after eating, let's go in the afternoon."

Mello hesitated for a moment, but was finally stopped by the feeble humming of cicadas outside.

"Okay, let's learn the zither first." She agreed.

As soon as the two of them sat down, Qiu Shi came over and said that Yi'er wanted to see the side concubine.

Qiu Baishao paused, and then she remembered that she sent Yi'er to fetch the medicine in the morning.

After Yi'er entered the door and saluted the two of them, she leaned into Qiu Baishao's ear and reminded, "Master, the medicine will take three or four hours to take effect."

One morning passed, if Qiu Baishao didn't go back to apply the medicine, I'm afraid the third prince would see him when he went to bed tonight.

"Understood." She glanced at Melo, and quickly looked away.

She had just promised Sister Mei that she would go to get her nails painted in the afternoon after dinner.

"What's the matter?" Seeing her distressed face, Melo also became worried, "Did something serious happen?"

"It's nothing, just a little thing." Qiu Baishao sat without moving, she knew that she could find a reason to leave for a while and come back in the afternoon.But she didn't want to move, she just wanted to stay in Haitang Pavilion for a while.

"You don't have to worry about me, go get busy with anything." Melo comforted, "We'll just go to Lianchi tomorrow."

"That's fine," Qiu Baishao still stood up, and smiled at her, "It doesn't have to be tomorrow, I'll go back as soon as I go, and when my sister wakes up from her afternoon nap, she will definitely see me."

"Well, you go."

Melo sent her out, watched the figure disappear, and then slowly turned back to the house.

Qiu Baishao did what she said, just woke up from a nap, Melo vaguely saw someone sitting beside her bed. Watching over her all day long.

Looking at it now, it is reassuring and kind.

"You're here." Waking up at Chuchu, the woman's voice was slightly hoarse, not as clear as usual, but a little more mellow and sweet. "Why didn't you call me, how long have you been here?"

While talking, she struggled to get up, and Qiu Baishao helped her, "It's not long since I came, and my sister woke up as soon as I sat down."

Melo bent his lips, and smelled a pungent smell of medicine in his nose.

"What, you're not feeling well?" She leaned over to check Qiu Baishao's shoulder, "Where did you get hurt?"

Qiu Baishao quickly reassured, "It's all right, I cleaned up the medicines stored in the yard before I came here, it just smelled a little on my hands."

"Don't hide it from me." Melo frowned. "I used to smell the medicine on your body all the time. It's been a while since it finally disappeared. Today, the smell came out again. What's wrong with you?"

Qiu Baishao was embarrassed by her concern, this injury is really embarrassing, besides, Melo has not yet received any kindness, if she speaks out, I don't know if Melo will feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that she was hesitating and hawing, Melo became anxious and urged her a few times before the other party lowered his head and whispered, "I went to bed last night."

"Of course I know you were in bed last night. I'm asking..." Melo was at a loss for words, and she suddenly realized the meaning of the words, and she also became embarrassed.

"Then you used to..." She asked tentatively, seeing Qiu Baishao nodded, the embarrassment in her eyes turned into worry, and she blurted out, "Show me the injury."

"What?" Qiu Baishao opened her eyes wide, never expecting Melo to say such words.She waved her hand quickly, "It's just a little bruise, it's okay, just apply the medicine and it will be fine."

"Don't say that," Melo said, "I'm afraid someone sent someone to buy your medicine on the street. I can smell such a strong smell of medicine through my clothes. I guess it's not a good medicine. I learned from my mother before. After a little medical science, let me take a look, and I will ask the servant girl to deliver the medicine to you later."

"My sister is kind, but..." Ke hurt her waist and abdomen, so she had the nerve to undress for others to see.

"Don't be shy, usually you are served by maids when you take a bath." Melo persuaded her, but red clouds also appeared on her cheeks, she held a veil to cover her lips, as if this could block the waves shy.After all, he has not broken his body yet. In terms of reality, Melo at this time is just like a young lady in a boudoir.

This reason is too good, Qiu Baishao couldn't say no to it all at once.Besides, in her heart, she didn't want to reject Melo either.

She couldn't resist this first taste of sisterhood in her life.

The concubine born of a singing girl lives too lonely.

"Then, please trouble sister Mei." As she said, she put her knee on the bed of the princess, and this bed that only the princess used to lie on was covered by another person.

The woman raised her chin slightly, facing the princess, she took the initiative to unbutton her skirt with both hands.Beautiful as a sacrifice.
