foxy charmer

The servants of Bai Shao Yuan watched their master become more and more angry day by day, even the housekeeper sometimes got scolded by Qiu Bai Shao.

Yu Chili thought that she was throwing a temper tantrum because she saw his desire to spoil Qingying, so he had to postpone Qingying's matter to a later date.

Qiu Baishao's unhappiness did have Qingying's part in it, she was so angry that she hooked Sister Mei on a wrong path, she had never seen such a shameless person in such a big world. Hit the princess on the head.

Sister Mei is kind-hearted and likes to be kind. She couldn't bear the scene where Qingying cried twice and Sister Mei couldn't bear it.

But it was not Qingying who made her most angry, but herself.

Since the last time Melo came to Baishaoyuan for an empty trip, she has been waiting for the day after tomorrow to say hello.That day, she got up before dawn to pack her clothes, and typed the draft a dozen times in her mind, thinking about how to explain it to Melo.

But she doesn't even know what to explain.

Explain that he didn't frame Qingying?Lying may make Mello even more annoying.

Explain why you can enter the study?It is better not to mention this.

Explain yourself why you haven't seen Melo these days?She couldn't speak.

A large strand of hemp rope danced in his heart, tangled into a ball, so tight that Qiu Baishao could hardly breathe.

She paced back and forth anxiously, waiting for dawn to say hello, calling Yi'er from time to time and asking her the time.

During such torturous waiting, Qiu Baishao waited for Melo's maid before dawn.

Haitang Pavilion sent someone to pass the message that the princess is not feeling well, so this time the greeting will be avoided.

As soon as his knees gave way, Qiu Baishao fell back to his seat.

Sister Mei didn't want to see her.

"Then, then I'll go visit my sister..." She stammered, but was stopped by the maids of Haitang Pavilion, "The princess is sick and has no energy to meet people. She said that when she recovers, she must invite the masters of the various courtyards Go to admire the maple leaves." The servant girl bowed her body and said politely, "Your maidservant will leave."

Qiu Baishao sat on the chair, and she suddenly felt that she had returned to the year when she was four years old, and her father took her home.

She sat on the threshold, propped her chin, and waited for her father to come to see her mother, but neither did she, nor did her mother.

"I'm old and don't look good." Niang said.The first time I couldn't hold out a smile in front of my daughter, she cried.

Qiu Baishao raised her head, she tugged at her mother's sleeve, "I'm not old, I'm pretty, mother, look at me."

The woman really took a look at her, then hugged Qiu Baishao tightly into her arms, crying so hard that she almost died.

The daughter of a geisha was not favored by her father. She cried not only for herself, but also for her daughter's future.

Those days accompanied by tears seemed like the next day. Qiu Baishao moved a low stool and sat facing the open door. The low stool was not as high as her legs. I watched it all day, but I didn't know what I was looking at.

Did she do something wrong, she didn't even know what she did.

She huddled in a ball like this, and watched from dawn to dusk, but she didn't wait for anything. The Baishao courtyard was so cold that even the sound of insects was glued to it.

The moon was about to rise, Qiu Baishao was finally tired, she went into the back room and went to bed.

After Yi'er came back from visiting her aunt in Qiu's mansion, she heard that her master hadn't eaten for a day, and she was so frightened that she rushed to see Qiu Baishao.

"Master, master." She sat by the bed and gently pushed Qiu Baishao.

"What's the matter?" Qiu Baishao closed her eyes and didn't move.

"The slave girl just came back from my aunt, and the imperial doctor said that my aunt's body has recovered." Yi'er whispered the good news, "But the wild ginseng blood swallow sent by the princess the day before yesterday is no longer needed. We will return it to the court for judgment." Or return the favor?"

"You can figure it out." She closed her eyes, "Go out, I want to rest."

Yi'er was stunned, she thought that the master would be very happy to hear the good news of Auntie, and then cheered up.Why is it still so dead.

"Yes, the servant girl is guarding the door."

As the footsteps went away, the door was about to close, and the woman on the bed shrank into the quilt.She covered herself tightly from head to toe, isolating the world, the sun and the moon from herself.

She said that she was hardworking and pleasing, she said she was good-looking, she said that no one could compare to her, and she also said... She only likes her.

Why, why do you want to have a relationship with her for such a trivial matter!

She likes her so much, she has planned to bear the princess position for three years and she doesn't want to be a princess, and she is afraid that Melo will be overwhelmed, she can even give up her child, why is she still unwilling to see herself.

Merlot... Sister May...

Qiu Baishao curled herself up into a ball, she didn't know whether it was the sweat or tears coming out of her face, it was messy and salty.

An unprecedented strong emotion filled her chest, she was like a fisherman who went out to sea for the first time, holding a small boat but encountered a storm.All around is a sea of ​​bitterness, the waves are rough, and the sky is dark. She clings to the canoe tightly, tossing and sinking on the raging waves.

The water between the sky and the earth is endless, and the falling rain is mixed with the rolling up sea water, rushing into the mouth and nose, all of which are the same salty and bitter.

The quilt wrapped the sound of sobbing, covering a darkness where no one was there, so that the sobbing could be vented, fermented, and brewed into bitter crying in peace of mind.

The bed had never held so many tears, it couldn't take it anymore.

……

Begonia Court

Early the next morning, Melo heard Qiu Baishao outside begging to see her before she finished her makeup.

"The master doesn't want to see her, and the servant has gone back to her?" Qiu Shi asked.

"It's all here." Melo threw the hairpin she just picked back into the dressing room, and sighed, "Let her in."

"My sisters are still arguing, so let's just talk about it." Qiu Shi smiled, "But the master used to be able to bear her stepping on your head, how come Qingying's place is so embarrassing?"

"In the past, she was the prince's woman. In my eyes, she is the same as the aunts in the backyard. I don't care about her." Melo narrowed her eyes and lowered her eyelashes by three points. "It's somewhat different now."

"Master..." The smile on Qiu Shi's face stopped, and she reminded in a low voice, "After all, you and her are not real sisters."

"I know." Melo nodded, with a weary face, "Stop talking, just invite her in."

"Yes." Qiushi went out and welcomed Qiu Baishao in.She knew that the two of them had something to say this time, so she winked at the servants in the house, and after she closed the door, she also stood guard outside.The matter involving Qingying should not be heard at all.

Soon footsteps sounded behind her, Melo took a deep breath and calmed down, she was going to apologize to Qiu Baishao.

However, as soon as she turned her head, she was startled by the woman's face.

The visitor's eyes were red and swollen, his face was pale, his lips were not painted, and the chapped blood could be seen brightly.Not only is there no lip balm, Qiu Baishao has no makeup on at all, and there are very few pearls and emeralds on the temples, completely plain.

"Bai Shao?" Melo couldn't believe that this was Qiu Bai Shao who had to be groomed by a court maid every day. "Why are you like this?"

"I..." Qiu Baishao turned her face away, revealing her bone-protruding chin, "Sister Mei doesn't want to see me, I feel uncomfortable these few days."

Melo didn't expect her to be so straightforward, so he was at a loss for words.

"I came to see my sister the day after my sister asked Qiu Shi to deliver tea. I saw you sleeping soundly, so I left first. I have been busy with other things since then," she pursed her lips, and there was a sense of anxiety in her eyes, " I didn't mean to miss you."

"I know." Melo helped her to sit down, "You are in charge of the entire palace, and you still have to serve the prince. It's normal not to be free. It's my fault, so I shouldn't be angry with you."

Qiu Baishao trembled, she held Merlin's hand back suddenly, her eyes were condensed with scorching light, and hit Melo's face directly, "Sister Mei said that I was the one who was trying to be brave these days, so I begged the lord before I came, and I will bother Sister Mei with the housekeeper's affairs in the future."

Melo covered her lips in surprise, she knew how much effort Qiu Baishao put in to manage the palace well.

"It's so hard for you to get started, how can you just give up." She thought of something, and then patted Qiu Baishao's hand comfortingly, "I'm really not angry with you, you don't have to do this for me. "

"No!" After she refused the clinker, Qiu Baishao began to become restless, her eyes widened a little, revealing more bloodshot eyes, her haggardness was hard to hide.

"It's the first wife's job to be in charge of the backyard. It was just that sister Mei was ill before, so I did it for her. Now that my sister is healthy, it should be my sister's job." She said, afraid that Melo would refuse again, "I'm really □Lack of skills, I beg my sister."

Melo looked at her, Qiu Baishao's expression was extremely strange, she seemed to be a taut string, as long as Melo fiddled with it, it would be broken and destroyed.At this time, she showed a sense of anxiety like a trapped animal, she was in a desperate situation, her whole body was covered with injuries, and she was circling blindly with scarlet eyes, unable to bear any stimulation.

"Then... okay." She didn't dare to decline any more, Qiu Baishao's tone was definitely not polite, but full of urgency, as if power was a red-hot iron block, and she tried her best to hand it to Mei Lo, Mello would burn her if she moved too slowly.

Sure enough, after Melo agreed, Qiu Baishao breathed a sigh of relief, her complexion calmed down a lot, even the corners of her lips smiled.

"Is Sister Mei doing her makeup?" She stood up, and quickly picked up the comb on the table. "I haven't dressed my sister for a long time. Today is a coincidence. Let me take care of my sister."

Melo was stunned by her series of weirdness, "Then... I'll trouble you." She nodded blankly, not knowing what else to say besides answering.

Sitting in front of the makeup mirror, she looked at Qiu Baishao's face through the mirror from time to time.The way Qiu Baishao looked at her today always made Melo a little uneasy, as if what she was holding was not her own hair, but something else.

The woman seems to be tending flowers and plants, holding scissors and paying close attention to every detail, with a happy expression on her face, but also cautious, because the pots under her hands are unique and precious flowers, and there is no room for sloppyness.

Melo's eyes moved slightly, today's Qiu Baishao was so weird that she subconsciously held her breath.

Maybe I am really too much, since I told Bai Shao that I want to support her for the rest of my life, how could she be indifferent to her because of a little thing, Bai Shao even drank the Bizi Tang to make her feel at ease, probably because she was really bullied by trivial things before. Haunted, not free to see myself.

Seeing the woman eagerly grooming herself, Melo felt more and more ashamed.If Bai Shao is still like this, how can she not take the initiative? Relationship matters must be managed properly by both parties.

"Stop patronizing me, look at you, you came in such a hurry, you don't even know your lips are broken, I'll put some lip balm on you." She got up, pulled Qiu Baishao to sit on her seat, Turning around to find something in the cabinet, "Last year, Concubine Jiu gave me a box of oil rouge, which was mixed with gold foil paper, and it looked like Dongzhu on my lips."

She found it, opened the box and picked it up with her little finger, turned around and said to Qiu Baishao with a smile, "I haven't used it yet, let me try it for you first."

Seeing that Melo's attitude towards her became warmer, Qiu Baishao's eyes obviously regained their brilliance. She sat on the stool, immediately raised her head and remained motionless, waiting for Melo to give her some fat.

Sister Mei is still her sister Mei, who loves her as always.

Melo leaned over slightly, she pinched Qiu Baishao's chin with one hand to fix it, and evenly spread the lipstick on her lips with the little finger of the other hand, the rosy color spread, with pearls, turning the woman's dry white lips into a Soft and fresh.

In the eyes of men, rouge is the same, but for many women in this world, it is a good medicine to bring the dead back to life, a flower that blooms briefly in a life of suppressed pain.

Every fragrance and every color is different, some are as elegant as peaches and pears, some are as enchanting as camellias and roses, or as gorgeous as peonies and peonies. The days are too dark, so you have to bloom some flowers for yourself to add color.

Qiu Baishao opened her eyes, and while her lip was covering her lips little by little, she looked at Melo, who was coloring herself, and felt that her body, which had been cold for half a month, also became bright red and warm with her lips.

Two cherries, as if born side by side, envy each other with a mouth-watering fragrance.

In a trance, she remembered that poem again.

"Okay, take a look." Melo stopped and showed her the bronze mirror.

She just looked up, motionless.

Melo was lazy and didn't go out today, but just used the red paper to sip it perfunctorily.But Qiu Baishao watched and thought about that sentence, but felt that the cheap red paper was dyed on Merlot's lips, it was fragrant, luxurious and lazy.

When Sister Mei read that poem, who was she thinking of? If she was thinking of Qingying, then Qingying could do it, so could she; if she was thinking of her...

"Sister Mei..." Qiu Baishao stretched out her hand and caressed the woman's chin in a daze.

"What's the matter?" Her voice was soft, so Melo bent over and asked closer.

The next moment, the bronze mirror fell to the ground and cracked.The broken mirror was lying on the ground, reflecting the shadow of the fragrance that was close to each other above, and the reflection was fragmented and blurred in the cracks.

"You, let go!" Melo shoved the woman covering her body in shock, "Bai Shao, are you crazy? Let me go!"

"Hush——" Qiu Baishao lowered her head, she pressed Melo on the dressing table, touched the tip of her nose, and entwined her breath.

"The servants are right outside the door. Sister Mei shouts again, and they will come in. Even if the prince loves me again, I will be kicked out of the palace if something like this happens." She almost stuck to the woman's lips , ingesting the sweet rouge on her lips, and sighed softly, "Sister Mei..."

Mello heard this and fell silent.

She really couldn't shout, if someone heard it and spread it, it would be easy to expel him from the palace, and Qiu Baishao would be sentenced to death by several people in the palace if she was not good.

"Then let me go." She begged in a low voice, Melo, who was pampered since childhood, was no match for Qiu Baishao in strength, she was imprisoned tightly in front of the dressing table, unable to advance or retreat.

Qiu Baishao didn't answer, she tilted her head, closed her eyes half-closed, and concentrated on pecking and licking.

It turned out that this was the taste of lip balm. She propped her hands on the countertop, sandwiching Merlot's waist, as if hugging a handful of warm spring peach blossoms. It was soft and warm, and the fragrance of the flowers was harmonious and refreshing.

Melo panicked and turned her head to avoid, she begged and frowned, her eyelashes were wet with tears, and she was worried about being heard, so she could only whisper, "Bai Shao, I treat you as my own sister, you can't do this. You are the prince's most beloved concubine, for yourself and for the Qiu family, don't be fooled."

"I also regard Sister Mei as my own sister." She grabbed Melo's bright wrist, "As you said, the prince is not our relative, only you and I can be together for a lifetime."

"I did say that, but I didn't mean it that way."

"Since you and I are closer than husband and wife, what does it matter if we comfort each other?"

"This is against the rules." Melo shook his head, trying to avoid it, "The prince loves you so much, you can't let him down!"

"My lord?" The woman laughed, mockingly.

But then the madness on her face faded a bit, she became pale and sad, and she was in pain.

"In the past three years, I have served the lord wholeheartedly. In order to make him like me, I pretended to be inhumane and gave up meat. In order to make him fall in love with me, I dare not speak to him even in difficult times. I can only go home and sit in the yard, making some fabrics by the moonlight.

Since Jiji, I seem to belong to him completely, I think about him, I miss him, everything I do revolves around him, I almost forgot what my name is, all I know is that I will be Three princesses.

As she spoke, the blood in her eyes became redder, tears were wrung out from each thread, and the mist condensed into pieces in her eyes, converging into a sea of ​​bitterness.

"But he takes a concubine today and a wife tomorrow. Every time I see my man, he seems to be having an affair. He said that I was wronged, and that one day he would give me the most noble thing in the world. He always asked me to wait , I just waited and waited like this, until the flowers bloomed and faded, until the spring and autumn came, finally, I finally entered the palace, even though it was a concubine, I was more or less comforted. But..."

She raised her eyes, tears were shining in her eyes, which contained a shocking desolation, which should not be the desolation that a girl should have.

"But I just found out that the love he said is so weak, like a glass of water, you can't even taste it after drinking it."

"Sister Mei, do you know how I serve the bed?" she said, grinning, and two lines of tears came out of her smile, "I'm going to kneel down and take off the shoes that Aunt Bai gave him, and then take I took off the purse embroidered by Liu Shi on his belt, and then took off the clothes tailored by Wang Shi. When I got on the bed, I could smell the fragrance from Aunt Xue’s courtyard on his body, and at the end he put his arms around me and told me, "I have wronged you, Shaoer, next month I will welcome the minister's daughter into the mansion", so after sending him to court in the daytime, I dug out the plan again and calculated how long it would take for him to marry another woman. Chi red silk."

"Bai Shao..." Melo whispered, "Stop talking." She turned her back, leaned on the dressing table and lowered her head to cover her lips.

Why is she not like this, she was married in June, and before she even took off her wedding dress, she heard her newlywed husband say to her, "Go out, you are worthy of this dragon and phoenix wedding bed?"

"Sister Mei, we are already the prince's women. In this life, we are waiting to die in the palace, and praying tremblingly not to hurt our family. What else do we have to look forward to." She leaned forward and hugged Melo from behind. Wrapping her waist, she whispered in her ear, "Sister Mei, wouldn't it be good to be with me, only I truly belong to you, and only I truly love you."

This time, Melo didn't struggle.

She lowered her head, remained motionless, and remained silent for a while.

Seeing that she didn't move, Qiu Baishao tightened her arms and leaned her head on her back shoulder, "I'm blindly coquettish and unscrupulous, the sisters next door are both. Outside the railing, I want to learn from mandarin ducks. Sister Mei, what do you want?" Who is it?"

The subordinate's body trembled, and after a while, the woman's sobbing voice finally sounded, "Did you...see it?"

"Yes, I saw it." Qiu Baishao bit her lip, biting off the pearly lip balm, "Sister Mei, do you want Qingying, so you don't want to see me for so long."

"I didn't miss her." Melo closed her eyes, she could feel how stiff and tense the woman holding her was.

For a while, the room became quiet, neither of them said a word, they just leaned on each other quietly.

I don't know how long the silence lasted, and finally, Melo broke the cold situation.

She turned around and slowly hugged the woman who was close to her.

Qiu Baishao was taken aback for a moment, and then dazzling joy burst out in her eyes, "Sister Mei..."

"Shh, don't say it." Melo raised her hand, and touched her messy lips with her fingertips, staining her red.

With that red spot, her hand moved back slowly, over her chin, over her ears, and finally caught the woman's neck.

Mello closed his eyes, and then his lips and teeth were intertwined, and the lips and lips blended together.

This is not a game like a fish in water, this is the spring rain falling into the lake, ripples, ripples, and then merged into one, it is no longer possible to see who is the rain and who is the lake.

Where there is spare energy, the daughter's family always hopes that the more rouge they have, the better.

There are a variety of colors, each with its own posture, and the more flowers in the garden, the better.

"Sister Mei..."

The skirt fell to the ground, and the bed curtain fell, which cut off the cold autumn of September.The red bed warms people, and the spring scene stays alive.
