foxy charmer
Chapter 4
Melo sized up the woman in front of her, but she was a commoner but she was made a side concubine, and she took charge of the affairs of the mansion on the first day she entered the mansion. She presumably was the prince's favorite person.
She grew up in the capital, and she had never heard of such a person. The girl in front of her was pretty, but within five years her name hadn't been seen on the list of beauties.
Melo then understood why the other party was grabbing the words he chanted when he came up.
The ranking of the so-called beauty list, first emphasizes virtue, followed by talent and learning, and last is appearance.She has a beautiful appearance and is loved by the prince. She thinks there is no problem with her virtues when she is away, but there is only one thing. I am afraid that she has not read any books.
Studying is a costly and labor-intensive task. Ordinary people just read it to boys, and seldom hire a teacher for their daughters.
Melo lightly stroked the strings under his hands, laughing at himself.That's right, it doesn't matter if she is talented or not, no matter how much she reads, she will not be able to please the prince, and she will be reprimanded by him: a woman's lack of talent is virtue.
No matter who the person in front of her is, if she is unhappy with her, she will definitely complain to the prince when she returns.Having been so disliked already, Melo didn't care how he would be punished, as long as it hurt his mother's family.
Thinking of this, she greeted the guests with a faint smile, "My sister was really happy yesterday, and she should have a good rest today. Why did you come to me so early?"
Melo looked at her, the weakness and paleness on her face really made her look happy, she had heard of the reputation of being the most beautiful woman before, and every time she met her, it was on the pavilions and pavilions, surrounded by a large crowd The daughter of the aristocratic family, wearing clothes and jewelry she had never seen before, had an unbelievably bright smile on her face.
Now that it has become like this, it has aroused her interest in appreciating it carefully.
"My sister won't invite my concubine to sit in the house?" she asked.
"It's natural." Melo got up, "Sister, please come in, Qiu Shi, pour tea."
"Qiu Shi?" Yi'er, who was following Qiu Baishao, repeated.
Mello looked back, "What's wrong?"
Yi'er raised her eyebrows, "There's nothing wrong with it, I just feel that the princess is really noble, and even a servant around her can be equal to our master."
Qiu Shi was taken aback, looked at Melo blankly, and then leaned forward, "I don't know where I offended the side concubine, this slave girl must not accept it."
"My lord has said that my master is always called a princess in the mansion, and there is no side concubine."
Qiu Baishao frowned, "Yi'er, don't be rude." After she reprimanded the servant, she looked at Melo with a smile, "The servant is ignorant and made my sister laugh. It's not a big deal at all. Bai Shao, speaking of it, the concubine has a predestined relationship with her elder sister."
Speaking of the name, Qiu Baishao also felt a pain in his heart.Her family was small, and her father didn't pay much attention to her daughter, because he opened a medicine shop, so he directly used Bai Shao to name her, as flippant as Melo bestowing a name on a maidservant.
Melo signaled Qiu Shi to go down, and smiled apologetically at Qiu Baishao, "My mother is quite knowledgeable in medicine, and I have been with her since I was a child, and I have also learned a little bit, so I named the girl Qiu Shi, and offended my sister."
Yi'er looked unhappy.What is there to show off, isn't it that the mother is the daughter of the court judge, knowing that Qiu's family runs a pharmacy, she deliberately brought it up to talk about it, and she really refused to let it go.
Qiu Baishao naturally also thought of this, she chuckled lightly, didn't answer, and entered the room with her skirt in hand.
The two entered the back room, Qiu Baishao glanced around without any trace, and sure enough, she saw that this place could not be compared with her own Baishao courtyard, but it was perfunctory according to the configuration of the lowest princess. It is true that beauties do not please the prince.
"I heard that my sister was ill and didn't want to eat or drink, so I made two side dishes by myself. I hope my sister can recover soon." She opened the food box in her hand, "If my sister hasn't eaten breakfast yet, you might as well use some now. It's also a wish from my sister."
Mello looked at her, and the other party smiled unabated, very sincere.
"In that case, thank you very much." She couldn't shirk it, so she had to follow her wishes.
What Qiu Baishao brought was a stack of spring rolls and a stack of deep-fried oil cakes. It was already completely cold at this time. On a scorching hot day, a layer of shiny oil floated on top of it. Merlot took a bite and immediately felt nauseated.
"Why, my sister dislikes my concubine's craftsmanship?" Qiu Baishao smiled at the table, "This is a meal that even the prince is full of praise. Don't my sister like it?"
"How could it be?" Melo lowered his head, swallowed the fried food in his mouth, and reached out to take the teacup next to him to suppress his nausea.
However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was stopped by a plain white hand.
"Sister, don't you know that drinking tea with meals hurts the stomach?" Qiu Baishao smiled, her face full of amusement, "Sister is already sick, if it hurts the stomach again, the prince will be worried." .”
Melo lowered his eyes.After a while, he slowly retracted his hand.
"Sister said so." She picked up the spring rolls in the bowl again, put one hand in front of the food, and lowered her head to bite down.
Qiu Baishao looked at her, the girl's sideburns didn't shake from the beginning to the end of eating, her posture was very upright.
It took her more than a month to barely learn these etiquettes. She thought it was still in compliance with the rules, but when she was in front of the real daughter who was born in a famous family, Qiu Baishao suddenly saw the gap.
"In addition to these meals, I also brought some spices to my sister, which is a little kindness." She beckoned and asked someone to bring the things, "I don't know if I can get into my sister's eyes."
Melo turned his eyes, and caught a glimpse of a few small boxes containing incense powder, and a few brocade purses.
"My sister has a heart." She was accepted by someone. "It stands to reason that my sister came to the mansion for the first time, so I should give a gift to express condolences. It really made my sister laugh."
"It's a little thing, as long as my sister doesn't dislike it, there is no need to be so polite."
Having said that, as a princess—even an unfavored princess, Melo has to give something.She looked at Qiu Baishao in front of her, and Qiu Baishao let her look back and forth, "What is sister looking at?"
"I think my sister's clothes and jewelry match very well today. I wanted to give you a hairpin, but the hair accessories on my sister's temples are already well-equipped, any more will only be cumbersome; I want to give you a bracelet, but seeing my sister's icy muscles and bones, A touch of emerald bracelet is enough to add luster."
Qiu Baishao pursed her lips, "How can I ask my sister to reward me?"
She went back and forth for a long time to decide what to wear every day, less light and more colorful, and asked her aunt who had retired from the palace to point out for herself, so as not to make any mistakes.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Melo say, "Qiu Shi, take the cat's eye brows from my dowry."
Qiu Shi glanced at Qiu Baishao, a bit reluctant to go, the eyebrow pendant was given by the princess and the empress dowager Jishi, the whole body was golden and green, shining brightly in the sun, how could Qiu Baishao, a mere commoner, wear such an expensive one? thing.
She was extremely reluctant, but seeing Melo frowning at her, she had no choice but to take it with a smile on her face.
Qiu Baishao saw her reluctance, even if she didn't see the thing, she knew it was a valuable thing.
When Qiushi brought the things, the cat's eye between the brows was lying in the palm of Melo's palm, the sunlight came in from the window, and when it hit the top, you could see the intersecting gold and green, transparent and dazzling.As soon as she took a breath, even among the things the Third Prince gave her, it was rare to see such a beautiful item.
"There is nothing wrong with my sister, and it would be superfluous for me to give anything else." Melo got up, walked to Qiu Baishao, leaned close to her, and put it on for her. The pendant is just right, and the color matches the bracelet on my sister's hand, so it's not obtrusive."
The cold jewel was stuck to the forehead, and as Merlot approached, Qiu Baishao smelled a mild fragrance.The fragrance is so restrained and long-lasting, she didn't smell it when she was sitting next to Melo just now, but when she got close to smell it, she felt so refreshing, it must be a top-notch fragrance.
Melo backed away and asked someone to bring the mirror over.Qiu Baishao looked at herself in the glasses, and the delicate and beautiful woman before her arrival became comfortable and generous under this expensive eyebrow pendant.
After all, she is everyone's young lady, with vicious eyes and rare things.
She felt a little sour, she had never even touched such a good thing, but Melo actually gave it away casually.She planned to go back and lock it in the closet, never wanting to see it again, but she felt that it was really beautiful and really suitable for her.
Qiu Baishao knows that her forehead is high, and she used to draw flowers between her eyebrows, but her status is low, and her news is slow, she always lags behind the popular styles of noble girls in Beijing, she is fine at home, if she is with the third prince , she will inevitably be ridiculed by others, and she will stop painting as time goes by.
At this moment, she likes and is annoyed at the frown on her head at the same time, her mood can't be up or down, and the needle point is lightly itchy. She came here to humiliate Melo, but she didn't seem to be happy.
If you are not happy, you will be too lazy to stay, Qiu Baishao got up and said to Melo, "Thank you for your reward. It is not early today, and I am afraid of disturbing my sister's recovery, so I resigned first, and I will come back to say hello to my sister when I have time in two days. "
Melo nodded, and made a faint smile, "You have a heart, Haitang Pavilion is far away, it's not easy for my sister to come here, and the prince may be unhappy if you come too much, so you don't have to come often in the future."
Qiu Baishao raised her eyes, and gave her a meaningful look.After a while, he said, "Then sister, take care of yourself, and send someone to inform me if you want anything."
After she finished speaking, she took the people away.
Just like when he came, when he left, there were no servants in Haitang Pavilion, it was very deserted.
When Qiu Baishao left, Qiu Shi hesitated holding the things she sent, "Princess, these things..."
"Bring me a look." Melo reached out, picked up a sachet from the box, put it under his nose and smelled it.
The polite smile on her face was gone, leaving only tiredness.
"Princess, is there something wrong?" Qiu Shi asked.
Mello put the things back and laughed at herself, "She really came to see me making jokes."
"Could it be..." Qiushi paused, and murmured out his guess in disbelief, "Musk?"
Mello closed his eyes and remained silent.
"Thanks to the concubine, I gave her the eyebrow pendant that the queen dowager rewarded, what a vicious heart!" Qiu Shi was indignant, "Your servant, please go and tell the prince to let him know how vicious that woman is!"
"Forget it." Melo sighed, "Your Highness likes her, so how can you believe what I say, and look for embarrassment for nothing. The musky smell here is very strong, and there is no intention to cover it up. Such arrogance, did she send it to me? Bizi, you let me know on purpose."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly coughed violently, Qiu Shi was shocked, and hurried forward to pat her on the back. "Water..." Melo propped the table with one hand and covered his chest with the other, his brows were tightly frowned, his face was extremely ugly, "cough...cough cough...water..."
"Ah yes." Qiu Shi hurriedly handed it over, helped her to drink it.His eyes touched the two plates of greasy fried food on the table, and he was angry and distressed at the same time, "I know that the princess is ill, but I still send this kind of thing in such a hot day, but I am just a concubine, so I am making things difficult for you! You won't let me The servant girl told the prince that the servant girl went to report to the Queen Mother, there must be a place for reasoning in this world."
Melo drank water, and his coughing eased a little.
"Even if the empress dowager punishes her, so what?" She panted, her eyelids half-drowned, "If the prince finds out, he will definitely blame the Mei family. I can no longer be filial in front of my parents. Could it be...cough cough cough ...Cough cough...Could it be possible to implicate the Manchus..."
"The servant girl is just sad..."
Mello waved his hands, exhausted physically and mentally.
"Help me to bed and sleep for a while. Don't offend her in the future."
"Yes……"
The author has something to say:
I was in a hurry and wanted to release the previous chapters quickly.
Chasing more is too miserable.
