Chapter 22 Who hasn't met a scumbag?
Concubine Zhang left, and Daban and Xiaoban left after leaving a few words that made Xu Muhua panic. The maidservant beside Concubine Zhang came in.
"Miss Xu, please follow me. The queen asked me to prepare everything for Miss Xu. Miss Xu, please stay here tonight."
Xu Muhua wanted to say loudly that she was worried, not at all! What on earth does Concubine Zhang want to do!
Xu Muhua screamed in her heart, but she looked very obedient on the surface. She followed the maidservant to the place where she would stay tonight.
She was silent for a while and asked, "Sister, is this a mistake?"
She is the daughter of a minister, and not a relative of Concubine Zhang. Staying in her palace has already attracted criticism. Now she has to sleep in the same room with Concubine Zhang at night? Keep watch for her? Concubine Zhang wouldn't have any bad taste and want her to be her maid, right?
Being called sister by her, Ziyi couldn't help but laugh, but soon she restrained herself and said, "This is what the queen wants, you can stay here with peace of mind."
Xu Muhua frowned, with a suspicious look in her eyes.
She seemed to see a trace of pity and sympathy in the eyes of this palace maid.
So there really is something wrong, right?
"Well, where is my friend Arong? Pei Shaorong, the granddaughter of Master Pei, she entered the palace with me, where is she?"
Xu Muhua asked. Putting hope on her good friend.
Ziyi smiled, "Don't worry, Miss Xu, Miss Pei has already left the palace."
Xu Muhua's eyes widened, as if struck by lightning!
"Why did you leave the palace suddenly? I'm still here. We...we are together..."
Xu Muhua tried her best to save something.
Ziyi interrupted her gently: "It was the Royal Concubine who sent someone to inform Miss Pei."
The expression on Xu Muhua's face was about to crack. After a long while, she slowly closed her half-open mouth and squeezed a smile on her face: "So...The Royal Concubine is really thoughtful..."
So thoughtful!
Ziyi couldn't help feeling a little guilty when she heard this. But she is the Royal Concubine's person, so of course she can only protect the Royal Concubine!
So Miss Xu, you can only wish you good luck tonight!
Ziyi said a few words and left in a hurry.
As soon as Ziyi left, Xu Muhua's expression was restrained and he sat down aside, thinking about what Royal Concubine Zhang wanted to do.
It's not like she would be harmed. After all, she is from the Duke of Cheng's Mansion. She was originally called into the palace by the Empress. If something goes wrong, not only will Concubine Zhang be in trouble, but the Empress will also be in trouble.
Not to mention that she has just made a great contribution. She was harmed by the favorite concubine right after she made a great contribution.
No matter how incompetent the emperor is, he can't do such a thing. Okay, she wants to see what Concubine Zhang wants to do!
Xu Muhua figured it out and let go. She ate and drank as she should. The person who was watching secretly reported to Concubine Zhang.
Concubine Zhang frowned slightly, and there seemed to be worry in her eyes. She didn't look happy when she heard the report from the servants. Instead, she looked at the sky outside. The worry in her eyes became heavier. As night fell, she became more anxious.
"Forget it, go and get ready!"
She couldn't even take care of herself, so how could she have the leisure to sympathize with others!
Xu Muhua, who was not far away, had eaten and drunk her fill. She walked around the house for a while to digest the food, but there was nothing else to do to kill time, so she packed up and prepared to lie down. She estimated that she would be able to leave the palace after waking up from a nap. She didn't believe that Concubine Zhang could keep her for one day, two days, or three days!
Xu Muhua always used the sky as a quilt to cover herself. She went there, pulled the quilt, and fell asleep in a short while. If you listened carefully, you could even hear her snoring!
The maid who was secretly monitoring her: "..."
After hearing this, Concubine Zhang couldn't help but fall silent. After a while, she sighed and said, "Well, maybe she can survive tonight."
After all, she is the daughter of the Duke Cheng's Mansion. If something really happens, she will have a hard time explaining.
The beds and quilts in the palace are naturally the best, so Xu Muhua slept well. But she seemed to hear someone singing opera in a daze while sleeping, and she thought she was dreaming!
But the sound of the opera was getting closer and closer, more and more realistic, and accompanied by waves of charming fragrance, so she had to wake up from her sleep! She
scared herself as soon as she opened her eyes!
Wasn't she in the Yikun Palace? Why was she in the theater now?
Xu Muhua sat down with a confused look on her face, shaking her head, and muttered to herself: "Who brought me to the theater? I don't like watching operas. They are full of babbling and I can't understand them. What's so good about them?"
The opera that was being performed on the stage suddenly stopped. Xu Muhua tightly closed her mouth and her eyes rolled around.
What, what's the matter? Did someone hear what she just muttered?
No way?
Just as she thought about this, a voice rang in her ear: "Do you think I sing badly?"
Xu Muhua's hair stood up all at once! She almost jumped up from her chair!
She suddenly grasped the armrest of the chair, and subconsciously forced a smile on her face: "How could it be, your acting skills are superb, your performance is exquisite, your voice is full of emotion, it is melodious, beautiful, very beautiful!"
"Oh? Then tell me what's beautiful about it?"
Xu Muhua choked. How could she know what's beautiful? She didn't understand it at all, okay? She was exaggerating, why did this person chase others and ask why she was exaggerating like that?
Although she didn't know what was going on at the moment, Xu Muhua's intuition told her that things were not simple!
So even if she didn't understand, she could only close her eyes and brag!
She suddenly sobbed and pressed the corner of her eye with her fingers. "I was moved when I heard that. It reminded me of some past events that I don't want to recall. I feel the same way!" There was
silence in her ears. After a while, Xu Muhua felt a person sitting down next to her. The person sighed and said, "It turns out that you have also been let down by a man!"
Xu Muhua:
Could it be that the play she just sang was about a talented scholar and a beautiful woman, and then the beautiful woman was let down? Did she meet a scumbag?
Just thinking about it, a puzzled voice came to her ears again: "But you are not even an adult yet, how come..."
Xu Muhua quickly said, "It has nothing to do with age. It can only be said that fate plays tricks on people."
This makes sense. Isn't that what she is like?
Xu Muhua's move was a blessing in disguise.
"Sister, are you worried? Why not talk about it? Will you feel better?"
Xu Muhua asked tentatively.
This question was incredible. It was as if this person had finally found someone who was willing to listen. Once he started talking, he couldn't stop!
A quarter of an hour passed, two quarters of an hour passed, half an hour passed... Xu Muhua went from being very focused at the beginning to being distracted occasionally, to having a serious face but dull eyes, wandering in space, feeling that her body and mind had been hollowed out!
In the end, she couldn't help it and covered her lips to yawn secretly. Unexpectedly, she saw the person sitting next to her staring at her sinisterly from the corner of her eye.
She was startled and immediately perked up!
