There's A Beauty

Chapter 45 Painted Skin

Youshu walked slowly to the carriage, and saw Zhao Yusong looking at her with a strange expression.His eyes were bright, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and the corners of his mouth seemed to rise, but he tried to suppress it because of his scruples, and instead twisted his otherwise handsome face into a distorted shape.

Youshu has studied micro-expressions, and knows that he is trying to control the ridicule and contempt in his heart, is it because of his attire?In a blink of an eye, he suddenly understood that the Wang family had just come to Beijing, where could he go to find out what the Ninth Prince liked?Naturally, the only option is to ask your sister-in-law or send a servant.The information the servants got was all word of mouth, which was far from the truth, and those sisters-in-law had never been used to the big house, so how could they really help?What's more, they will release fake news, waiting to see the big room's jokes.

No matter how unpredictable the Ninth Prince was, Zhao Yusong, his companion, would more or less know some of his likes and dislikes.Needless to say, the servants sent by the Wang family will go to his yard to listen.The Zhao family has very strict rules, and the second wife of the Zhao family is even more strict in running the family. Others have found out about their own yard, so it is impossible for Zhao Yusong to not know about it.

That's why he looked forward to and suppressed his smile when he saw him, right?His own attire probably also has his handwriting?Thinking of this, Youshu wanted to take off the forehead and camellia on her head, but she saw Mrs. Wang rushing over, carefully pinning a delicate purse around his waist, and said, "Mother, please warn you, this body Clothes are not allowed to be dirty or messed up, and you are not allowed to change them at will! My mother has been up all night to make this, and my mother has personally seen every stitch and thread, and you can wear it again when you get crowned!"

Youshu never ignores or even ignores others' kindness to her.Such a precious thought was wanted but not available in the previous life, and in the previous life, it is naturally cherished even more in this life.It doesn't matter whether it's deliberate evil or making people laugh; let them go, as long as the mother is happy.Anyway, my mother wouldn't know about those things outside, and he wouldn't care about other people's strange eyes.

Thinking of this, Youshu withdrew her hand and responded obediently, as if she hadn't noticed Zhao Yusong's malice.

The two came to Huaniaofang in a carriage. The inside was bustling with people, so they had to get out of the carriage and walk.Zhao Yusong held back his laughter all the way, afraid of being noticed by his little cousin, and covered his mouth with a jade bone incense fan.

Youshu didn't care how weird his eyes were, but she realized that Wang really knew herself very well, and she didn't put spices in her purse, but put a lot of pine nuts in her hand, and she looked very leisurely.The two of them strolled to a teahouse, and saw someone waving at the window on the second floor and shouting, "Brother Cang Ji, here!"

"Here we come!" Zhao Yusong smiled and waved his fan, and Shi Shiran stepped across the threshold.

You Shuben also planned to follow, but saw an old man on the opposite side of the street selling a bunch of candied haws. The bright red hawthorns looked very attractive, and there was a strong smell of maltose.In his previous life, he spent time with Mother Song, and he never got anything good to eat, except that Bai Shao would secretly buy him a bunch of candied haws when he went to temple fairs.It was the only sweet taste in his poor years, once tasted, he will never forget it.

Even if he followed his master to live a life of not worrying about food and clothing, and luxurious clothes, he would buy one from time to time, hold it in his hand and lick it slowly, savoring the joys and sorrows of the past, and all kinds of feelings linger in his heart. It feels very strange.

He carefully put the pine nuts back into his purse, ran to the old man, and called out to his cousin without paying any attention.

Zhao Yusong gave up after calling a few times, shook his head and went upstairs, only letting the young man watch over him, and wait for someone to buy something before taking it to the private room.

"What is your little cousin dressed up today? Is it really gorgeous and full of makeup?"

As soon as the door was opened, there were people laughing and teasing, Zhao Yusong looked up, but it was Xue Wangjing, the eldest son of Dingguo Duke's mansion, named Zishu, and another companion of the Ninth Prince.He was just kidding himself, but he just looked at the Ninth Prince sitting at the top with his eyes watching the show, as if he was intentionally provoking the other party's disgust.

Zhao Yusong didn't think it was disobedient, and only smiled wryly twice, expressing that he was also very helpless.He hated Dafang more than anyone else, especially Zhao Youshu who almost brought the Zhao family into a crisis of genocide.The Zhao family seems to have a lot of food, but in fact they have long been unable to make ends meet, especially the second room, which is responsible for the family budget, has reached the point of selling the land to survive.There was not much left of his mother's dowry, and in order to help the eldest family deal with the aftermath, they pawned off a lot, and now there is only an empty shell left.

He usually doesn't dare to open his mouth at all when he sees something valuable. He has resentment and hatred in his heart, but it's not very strong.But on the day when the big house came back, he pulled more than a dozen carts of belongings back and forth, and Zhao Youshu was so extravagant and dressed in extravagance, what expensive things to use, and even pretended to be naive and ignorant of the world, which made him feel uncomfortable. garish.

At the age of 16, he couldn't even pass the child's entrance examination. Such a waste, is he worthy of being on an equal footing with him?Because of the unsatisfactory resentment in his heart, and the fact that his parents often talked about how the big house dragged down the Zhao family, how he was out of tune, and how he ignored the overall situation, Zhao Yusong's dislike for Zhao Youshu naturally increased day by day.

He can usually ignore him, but he wants to hit the gun and try to curry favor with the Ninth Prince by himself, and he doesn't see what happens to those people who deliberately curry favor with the Ninth Prince?After being entangled for a long time, he chanted a few words in front of the Ninth Prince, but was overheard by the bohemian Xue Wangjing, and that's how he came up with today's idea.

A group of people waited in the teahouse early in the morning, just to appreciate the ugly appearance of Zhao Yusong's cousin.Xue Wangjing also brought many small followers, they gathered in the private room to drink tea and chat, laugh and play, but he dared not provoke the first person.

Others don't know what the Ninth Prince's temperament is, but they have a little understanding.It is said that the Ninth Prince is a man of great stamina, with both civil and military skills, and he will surely be the lord of revitalizing the country and unifying the Kyushu in the future. However, they vaguely know that the Ninth Prince has a very strange nature. The strange thing is not that he is strict and unpredictable. , but because he doesn't care about everything in the world.

Yes, he doesn't care about power and status, gold and silver treasures, or even relatives and friends.His pitch-black eyes are always dead silent, making people afraid to look at them. If you stare at them for a long time, you will unconsciously feel suffocated, as if walking in an endless wilderness, or falling into an abyss.One moment he was chatting and laughing happily, and he was in a happy mood, and the next moment he could look gloomy and kill someone. You will never guess what he is thinking, let alone know his preferences.

Although it is impossible to guess what he likes, what he dislikes will occasionally reveal something, just like this moment.He gently lifted the tea with the lid of the cup, and said in a deep voice, "I heard that your fifth cousin is also called Youshu? Why are there so many Youshu in the world?"

This name was a legend as early as the Ming Dynasty.I heard that the reason why the famous Emperor Zongsheng never married was because he was too infatuated with a young man named Youshu.And he created countless great achievements in his life, and the various hardships before he ascended the throne were also quite miraculous. People at that time actually deified him, thinking that no matter what he did, it was good, and there was a reason for it.Because of this, the Kyushu Continent, which used to be quite shy of the south wind, has become popular and popular since Emperor Zongsheng ruled the mountains and rivers.

The trend of men wearing rouge and powder and wearing hairpin flowers and wearing jade also began to rise at that time, and it has not changed until now.No matter the common people or nobles, they are full of curiosity about the legendary "Youshu" who bewitched a generation of overlords with her beauty in the prosperous age. However, if a child with an exceptional appearance is born in the family, it is very likely that she will take this name.

It is a pity that the portrait of Youshu, which was originally collected in the royal family, was divided up by the princes during the nine kingdoms' struggle for hegemony, and was burned in successive years of war.Although Xia Qichao kept the only one, but because it was too old and was often touched by successive emperors, the ink has faded away, and it can't be seen.

How beautiful Youshu is is now a mystery.And since the fifth son of the Zhao family was named "Youshu", it can be seen that he must have looked good when he was young.So someone came to the window and teased, "Which one is your fifth cousin? Show us. That is the peerless beauty in the legend!"

"What kind of crooked melon cracks dates, is it also worthy of being called Youshu?" Only at this time, the Ninth Prince will show a real feeling of disgust, as if he can't stand anyone named Youshu in this world.That's why Zhao Yusong brought Youshu to him.

Da Fang wants to cling to the Ninth Prince?We have to see if he agrees with it!However, no matter how malicious he was, he would not let others notice, so he saw the Zhao family's joke, so he immediately defended, "My fifth cousin's appearance is not peerless, but he is not bad either. He looks very cute. .”

"Yuxue is cute? Are you describing a six or seven-year-old child?" Xue Wangjing patted the table and laughed.

The Ninth Prince frowned in disgust, and asked again, "I heard that he has yin and yang eyes and can see ghosts? How can there be ghosts and gods in this world, they are just filth hidden in people's hearts."

This is a blatant accusation that You Shu used the theory of ghosts and gods to sensationalize the public, her mind is not pure, and her disdain can't be hidden in her words.Xue Wangjing and all the attendants laughed sarcastically, Zhao Yusong had no choice but to stand up and bow, racking his brains to defend the fifth cousin, looking sad on his face, but very satisfied in his heart.

Presumably, You Shu met the Ninth Prince today, and she would never have the chance to see him a second time. If she was unlucky, she might be ridiculed and degraded, making her laugh at others.

Youshu bought candied haws and found the private room under the guidance of the servant. Before she opened the door and entered, she heard a very familiar voice.He was ecstatic, and rushed in, but just when he heard the last sentence, it was like a basin of cold water poured down his head, causing his heart and blood to freeze.Even after more than [-] years, the master's hatred and vigilance towards ghosts and gods have not changed.

No, after all, something has changed. He is a few years younger, his elegant and handsome face is stained with evil and violence, and the originally warm and clear eyes are like a bottomless cold pool, without a trace of warmth.When he looked at himself, it was like looking at a stranger who had lived a normal life. He had the same appearance, but concealed a different soul. He was the master, but he was not the master.

The Ninth Prince is indeed the reincarnation of the master.Youshu was already convinced of this, opened her mouth slightly, and called out "Master" foolishly, and then the belated sadness, and the grievance of being abandoned and exiled all rushed to her heart.But he tried his best to hold back the tears that were about to come out of his eyes.Even after 600 years, his promise to his master is still the same, he will carefully keep a distance from him, and never let his special ability become his hidden danger and trouble.

Since we don't know each other, why do we need to recognize each other?When a stranger, just watch from a distance.

When Youshu was still in a daze, everyone in the room was attracted by the clanging sound of the door knocking open, turned their heads to look back, and then froze.They never expected that the legendary ignorant No. [-] rich man in Lin'an Mansion would actually look like this!Pink, fleshy, round face, round eyes, round mouth, even the earlobes on both sides are round, it looks really cute!With this appearance, she is so well-behaved that it melts people's hearts. No matter how vulgar the clothes are, no one can say a single mean word.

Among them, the Ninth Prince lost his composure the most. The teacup in his hand had been overturned, and the scalding tea poured down the edge of the table onto his thighs failed to revive him.As soon as the young man entered the door, he was completely absorbed by him.To be honest, his appearance is not peerless, but his temperament is exceptionally unique, even the gaudy clothes can't suppress the ethereal feeling.He is like a cloud, a snowdrop, or a drop of nectar, which sneaks into your heart silently, and disappears when you feel the sweetness to search for it.

The Ninth Prince was both flustered and joyful, and he didn't know where the flustered joy came from.He couldn't think at all, and subconsciously replied, "Master? Who is your master?" If the young man really wanted to please himself as Zhao Yusong said, he would go straight to the point and say that he was his master, and he would immediately respond , Since then, I have been with him every day.Very good, very good!

He was excited, but he didn't know why, he just followed his feeling blindly.He wants Shu, that's right, he is the only one worthy of being called "You Shu" in the world, and the rest are all fakes!They're all fucking fakes!

However, he forgot to soften his expression and tone when he was nervous, and this question actually carried a hint of disgust. Not only did Zhao Yusong and others misunderstand, but even Youshu's face was pale and her eyes were moist.This scene was like a repeat of the previous life, if the master drove him away face to face, it would probably be in this tone.He no longer wants to be his master, no matter in his previous life or in this life.

Youshu restrained her sadness, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Caomin has exceeded the rules. Caomin kowtowed to His Highness the Ninth Highness, and please forgive me."

The Ninth Prince was full of gloom and gas stuck in his throat, and he was almost suffocated to death.His face flushed for a moment before he waved his hands and said, "Get up, sit down." He was referring to the empty seat beside him.

Because of his powerful aura, even the two accompanying readers did not dare to get too close to him. Over time, his left and right positions were empty, and no one else was allowed to occupy them.However, today he took the initiative to invite her, and such an abnormal behavior immediately attracted everyone's attention.But Youshu didn't want to hang around under his nose. If her parents hadn't given her the task, she wished she could go home now, so she struggled and hesitated, and didn't take a seat for a long time.

When the Ninth Prince's fingers were itching and he wanted to pull the young man to his side, the servant standing behind him suddenly screamed, "It's bad, Your Highness, you've been scalded by the tea!" He personally served the tea, He naturally knew how hot it was, and immediately panicked.

If the Ninth Prince rubbed off a hair, Emperor Zhongkang would be furious and pursue the blame, not to mention peeling off a layer of skin.A group of people hurriedly gathered around to check, while Youshu retreated.It's not that he's not worried or concerned, but so what?Just now he heard the conversation between the master and everyone clearly. The current self is just a villain who clings to the powerful to the master, and he is even more unbearable than in his previous life.

So, let the good memories stay in your heart, and don't increase your troubles in vain.What's more, he is the only one who remembers this beauty now, so speaking out of it becomes wishful thinking, and people despise it instead.Youshu walked around the door silently, licking the candied haws one after another, with distant eyes.

When the young man walked out of his sight, the Ninth Prince felt unprecedented anxiety. If he had a sword on his waist, he wished he could cut off all the people who stood in his way.

"Go away!" He kicked away the attendant who wanted to roll up his trouser legs, then pushed away Zhao Yusong and others, and hurriedly chased outside the door, just in time to meet the boy with big and round eyes who was licking candied haws is on.Seeing himself with a distorted and ferocious face from the eyes of the other party, the Ninth Prince panicked and quickly adjusted his state, and in a blink of an eye it was that handsome, wild and unrestrained nobleman again.

"You haven't left yet?" He stopped suddenly and asked in a hoarse voice, his beating heartbeat slowly returned to normal.

Youshu nodded, and lowered her eyes to look at the hem of his clothes that was soaked in tea, trying her best to cover up, but also showed a trace of concern uncontrollably.

The anxious Ninth Prince immediately seemed to have drunk fine nectar, his mouth was full of sweet and greasy taste, he couldn't help but smacked his lips, and smiled slowly.This smile was extremely short, and when the servant chased him out, he became unpredictable and uncertain again.

"Your Highness, let's go back to the palace and show it to the imperial physician right away? It will be troublesome if we get blisters!" The servant was on the verge of crying, wishing to kneel down for the master.

"No problem." The Ninth Prince patted the hem of his clothes indifferently.

"Then roll up the trouser legs and let the minister take a look." Zhao Yusong was very cautious, and Xue Wangjing also followed suit.

Youshu was squeezed away by the crowd and had to retreat to the stairs.He thought about it, and felt that he would not be able to complete the task assigned by his parents today.The master has lived a very good life in this life, there is no shortage of servants around him, and there is no lack of flattering people, and the fact that he has a yin and yang eye has been brought to Shangjing from Lin'an Mansion, and it must become his taboo.

Forget it, go back and explain clearly to your parents, they will understand.If you can’t go to Yangzhou, you can also go to Suzhou. At worst, you can go to Shuzhou and Guizhou.

Thinking of this, Youshu went downstairs holding the candied haws. Just as she walked halfway, she heard someone shout angrily from behind, "Zhao Youshu, did the king allow you to leave? Farewell without saying goodbye, which family's etiquette is this?"

The Ninth Prince didn't want to be so harsh on the young man, but if he didn't do this, how could he keep him?If he was really as flattering as Zhao Yusong described, and he couldn't wait to stick up to him when he saw him, wishing he could take him back to the palace, that would be great!But he is not, his eyes are clear and bright, without any sneaky thoughts, he is not arrogant, on the contrary, he is very timid, he almost burst into tears when he was asked a single word, his appearance is extremely pitiful, even more so Call him distressed.

He was like a ceramic doll, which made him wish he could hold it in the palm of his hand, but it seemed to be oiled, and if he couldn't hold it firmly, he would fall to the ground and break into pieces.The Ninth Prince had only met him once, but he seemed to have known him for hundreds of years. He was so familiar with his every flicker, smile, and every move. He was so familiar that he could describe every strand of his hair when he closed his eyes.

Since birth, the Ninth Prince has wanted wind and rain, and for the first time, he experienced what it means to be unable to keep, not to ask for, not to be tired of looking at, but not daring to touch.

He wanted Youshu, but he didn't know how to get him. Seeing that he wanted to leave, he could only call him back with a vicious voice.Youshu was timid and might be frightened, but he couldn't care less.When the two get to know each other slowly, he will treat him well and make him understand that he also has a tender heart and deep feelings, and he can give as long as he wants.

This feeling came so strong and caught off guard, but it miraculously did not make the Ninth Prince feel the slightest hesitation or entanglement in pain.He knew from a young age that he had to fight for what he wanted, otherwise he would have nothing but dreams.

If he hesitated to make Youshu his empty dream, he would not even dare to think about the terrible consequences.

Youshu really stood still, frowning and looking back, "Then I say goodbye to you now, is that okay?"

"Impossible." The Ninth Prince tried his best to calm down the anxiety in his heart, and waved, "Come here, and help this king to go to the medical center to check his injuries."

"Aren't you going back to the palace to see the imperial physician?" Youshu questioned in a low voice.How can the medical center on the street compare to the Tai Hospital?What's more, the master has a prominent position in this life, no one dares to offend, and naturally no one will do anything secretly.

The two asked questions and answered each other, their attitudes were very familiar, and the Ninth Prince seemed to be a domineering dictatorship, but in fact, there was a faint intimacy and gentleness between his brows and eyes, which was extremely rare, and it could even be said that he had only seen it in his life.The few people who were not very familiar with him didn't realize it yet, but the valet, Zhao Yusong, and Xue Wangjing felt turbulent waves in their hearts one after another.

Is this right?Xia Qichao must be the first one who can make His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince see each other right!Xue Wangjing was full of emotions, but Zhao Yusong was mad with hatred.No one knows better than him the benefits of clinging to the Ninth Prince. He can lift you up to the sky by raising his hand at will, but he can knock you down into the abyss with a flick of his fingers.

It was precisely because of the relationship between Zhao Yusong and the Ninth Prince that the Second Household of the Zhao Family gradually gained a firm foothold in the capital and flourished day by day. If Youshu were replaced by the Ninth Prince's favor, everything that the Second Household had would sooner or later belong to the First Household.No, that cannot be allowed to happen!

When Zhao Yusong fell into anxiety, Youshu had no choice but to support the Ninth Prince and moved downstairs step by step.The Ninth Prince, who was walking like flying just now, now looks like a disabled man with a broken leg, lying on the young man's shoulders with an expression of unbearable pain.Youshu was a whole head shorter than him, and was already sweating when he moved him to the hospital, but he was still holding the bunch of candied haws with his left hand, unwilling to let go.

The Ninth Prince thought it was funny, but he kept this matter in his heart, and planned to ask the imperial chef to study the recipe of candied haws carefully after returning home, try all kinds of fruits and syrups, so as to tease this greedy boy.

Youshu hurriedly licked off the melting maltose, unaware that someone was staring at her pink tongue with angry eyes.
