I haven't seen Mu Ci for nearly a month.
But during this month, Mu Ci would send people to deliver all the delicious food, good clothes and even fun things to Bai Luoxi's yard. Mu Ci even asked someone to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to send the little servant who had been serving Bai Luoxi to Bai Luoxi's yard.
In short, Bai Luoxi lived even more comfortably than before in the Prime Minister's Mansion. After all, there were all kinds of schemes by Bai Jiaxi and his son in the Prime Minister's Mansion before.
However, this situation made Bai Luoxi feel as if the other party was avoiding him. Although he seldom went out, they all lived in the same mansion. No matter how unlucky it was, he would probably meet her once in a while. But by such a coincidence, he didn't even see the corner of the woman's clothes.
Bai Luoxi was feeling a little anxious, but he didn't know what he was anxious about.
Bai Wu, the servant who was picked up from the Prime Minister's Mansion by Mu Ci to accompany Bai Luoxi, looked at his young master's angry, anxious and worried face and suddenly said, "Young Master, I heard that the Second Prince has been in Mrs. Lin's courtyard recently."
Hearing this, Bai Luoxi's hand holding the book froze for a moment, then he turned the page, seemingly not reading the contents, and asked in a pretended nonchalant manner, "Mr. Lin?"
Bai Wu: "Yes, Lin Bohan, Lin Cefu. It is said that this Lin Cefu is a zither player that the Second Prince met outside. The Second Prince fell in love with him at first sight and took him in as his concubine."
Bai Luoxi felt a little uncomfortable when she heard the words "love at first sight". So the sweetheart she mentioned that night was this Lin Bohan.
Bai Wu glanced at the book that hadn't been turned for a long time, then glanced at Bai Luoxi who was lost in thought, and continued, "It's just that this Mr. Lin seems to have no interest in the Second Prince. He plays the piano and composes music all day long, and has never given the Second Prince a good look."
Bai Luoxi breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.
Bai Wu added: "But recently, I have often heard people say that the Second Prince is often seen in front of Lin Xifu's yard."
So the reason why he couldn't see that woman these days was because she was always in someone else's yard and was deliberately avoiding him.
Bai Luoxi's face was a little gloomy, and he casually flipped through a few pages.
Bai Wu looked at the wrinkled hair on the corner of the book, his expression unchanged, and continued: "Sir, have you always liked playing the piano? Why not exchange some piano skills with Lin Chaifu? It would be a good idea. It's boring to stay in the house all the time. Sir, what do you think?"
Bai Luoxi was a little hesitant. Why was he going to find Lin Bohan? He decided not to go.
Bai Wu: "Go ahead, young master. It's a good opportunity to get familiar with the scenery and people in the mansion."
Bai Luoxi was a little annoyed by Bai Wu's pestering, so he stood up.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Bai Wu quickly shouted, "Wait, sir, change into some nice clothes before you leave. This one is a bit too plain."
Hearing him say this, Bai Luoxi froze for a moment. They were just going to take a look at Lin Bohan's yard, not to do anything. Why did they have to change clothes, and nice clothes at that.
It's not like I went to see that woman on purpose...
When Bai Luoxi followed Bai Wu to a place not far outside Lin Bohan's yard, they could already hear the melodious sound of the piano. It seemed as if the listeners received the same feeling in their hearts, which was a yearning for freedom.
Hearing this, Bai Luoxi suddenly felt that his trip was worth it. As he approached, he saw a scene that seemed particularly harmonious to him.
His steps paused slightly and he stopped right where he was.
I met this person in this yard whom I hadn't seen for nearly a month.
Under a weeping willow in front, a handsome man was sitting there playing a zither. As he had his head slightly lowered, it was difficult to make out the expression on his face.
However, the woman leaning on the stone table next to him happened to be facing Bai Luoxi sideways. Her posture was very casual, but even looking at her from a distance, one could feel that she had different thoughts about the man playing the zither.
Bai Luoxi suddenly regretted it.
He looked at the scene in front of him and found it inexplicably dazzling. The slight pain in his heart came over him again, and his face had already turned a little gloomy.
He turned around and was about to walk out, but Bai Wu behind him suddenly said, "Sir, why are you going back again? Did you forget to bring something? Hey, isn't that the Second Prince?"
His voice was clear and powerful, in short, quite loud. As soon as he said this, the "harmony" over there was instantly broken.
Mu Ci turned his head and looked over, his eyes fell on the tall man in blue and white clothes, and he was stunned for a moment.
Why did Bai Luoxi come here? She had been hiding from him for a month and never expected to see him here.
Bai Luoxi's body stiffened. He could clearly feel the gaze from the person behind him. He decided not to hide and just turned around and walked over naturally.
Bai Luoxi: "This person should be Lin Chaifu."
Lin Bohan stood up and bowed respectfully.
Seeing him like this, Bai Luoxi felt that Lin Bohan had some inexplicable hostility towards her, even though he had been polite.
After a brief greeting, Bai Luoxi sat next to Mu Ci.
"You... forget it, it's nothing." Mu Ci looked at Bai Luoxi, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.
In fact, the Second Princess was so busy that she had already let go of the previous incident. After all, from Bai Luoxi's perspective, that reaction was normal. She didn't need to keep taking it to heart. After all, the relationship between the two of them was already like this, so there was no need to make it too embarrassing.
Mu Ci didn't think there was anything wrong, but Bai Luoxi felt uncomfortable when he saw her reaction just now.
Lin Bohan, who was standing aside, looked as if it had nothing to do with him and was just talking about his piano.
Mu Ci continued to play the role of a mindless admirer. What Bai Wu said before was true. It was indeed true. Whenever Mu Ci had some free time these days, he would go to Lin Bohan's place.
It was not out of love, but because she had to. Although Lin Bohan was a zither player brought into the palace by the original owner, he was actually on the empress's side. From the first time he met the second princess, he was half-heartedly married into the second princess's mansion. It was all for the convenience of monitoring Mu Ci's every move, so that he could report to the empress or even... the eldest princess at any time!
Mu Ci took advantage of the situation and showed his presence in front of him from time to time, deliberately delivering some wrong information in an attempt to confuse the two people behind him.
As for why Bai Luoxi and Lin Bohan were hostile to each other when they were talking just now, it was mainly because Lin Bohan was interested in the eldest princess, but the eldest princess liked Bai Luoxi, so the scene just now happened.
Mu Ci stared at Lin Bohan without blinking, but suddenly the voice of the mission announcement rang in his mind.
[Mission release: By expressing love and caring for Lin Bohan, you can strike down the male protagonist Bai Luoxi, make him firm in his determination to become stronger, and secretly help him establish his first power in the mansion. Failure will be punished randomly, please try again! Invincible!]
Mu Ci: “…”
It's still a day when I don't feel like doing any tasks.
She has been tired of visiting Lin Bohan these days, and it is really too much to ask her to say some offensive and malicious words now.
"054, don't be depressed or discouraged. They are just some cheesy love phrases. Don't worry. I will connect you to a powerful search engine right away. There are hundreds of cheesy love phrases for you to choose from. You can say whichever one you like."
After that, the system paused for a moment, then picked out a few sentences that it thought were good, and began to speak to Mu Ci in a serious tone: "Here, the first sentence: Even though life is not that easy, I still want to put you in the future, to live a happy life, and not be affected by the world."
Mu Ci: “…”
"I think this sentence is not bad. Come on, don't panic, there is the next sentence, this one is better, I think it can hit Bai Luoxi, and it will show your unique affection. I have placed you deep in my heart, new love and old love are both you. Whether it is the cool breeze on a summer night or the sweet dew in spring, whether it is the full moon in the sky or the wine in the glass, I think of them all as you. This is me thinking of you, whether you love me or not, I will hold you in my palm and provide for you all my life. How about it, not bad, this sentence is the best in my opinion." The system said proudly.
Mu Ci was merciless: "Why do I feel that there is something scumbag in these words, and it's also very... Ugh, I can't stand it. Just go away. Don't you think about it, although on the surface I like Lin Bohan, but according to the setting, how could I do such a greasy thing? This is really obscene. If I really said this to Lin Bohan in front of Bai Luoxi, then my image of being cruel and bloodthirsty would be directly transformed into a greasy and lustful second princess."
System: “…It seems to be roaring like this.”
"Nonsense!"
When the system stopped talking, Mu Ci considered for a moment and decided to start his performance.
She stood up and walked in front of Lin Bohan, then ordered the people around her, "Go and get Chun Shanqin."
The people around her had all received special training and were very efficient. Soon, they came over with a guitar and handed it to Mu Ci.
Mu Ci gently stroked the Chunshanqin, with deep reluctance hidden in his eyes.
Look at the exquisite workmanship, with all kinds of complicated patterns on it, the strings, the carvings, and the feel are all of top quality. She felt it was not worth giving it to this wild man who cheated on her and whose mind was on other women all the time.
但是為了任務,不就是一把破琴嗎,以她現在的身份和能力上百把破琴都能手到擒來。
慕辭收斂了自己越走越遠的心思,然後一把遞給了林柏涵,一臉正色地說道:“這是本殿下征戰得勝回來,特意給你尋得的春山琴,如今我把它送給你。”
春山琴,懂琴的人都知道,甚至應該說每一個琴師都曾經想過有一把春山琴,它彈奏出來的音色和旋律都是極為動聽的,只不過林柏涵沒有想到的是,這琴竟然是由眼前這個自己最讨厭的人手裏送出來的。
林柏涵看着那琴,神色複雜,一時僵在那裏,沒有什麽反應,只是盯着那琴看。
讨厭二皇女鳳慕辭是從一開始接到任務的時候就開始的,他本來只是一個游歷世界的琴師,無意中遇到了大皇女然後被其風采所吸引,兩人琴瑟和鳴,本以為自己遇到了自己一生的知音,沒想到對方的身份卻是他可望而不可及。
無法割舍無法忘記,只要幫她監督一個人,就可以還能再看她一眼。
林柏涵答應了,于是在那個人的故意的算計之下,他成了二皇女的側夫。
林柏涵似乎還在處于一種懵逼的狀态,這個在慕辭看來是這樣的,于是她又出聲說道:“本殿下知道你想要什麽,但是只有這個本殿下無法滿足你,本殿下不允許你離開這裏。不管你心裏想的是誰,你都得給我記住,你既然嫁進了二皇女府,你就不要再有離開的念頭!”
慕辭的臉色越來越沉,她聲音有些低,帶着一種惱怒以及濃濃的強勢之意,将手裏的春山琴一把放到林柏涵的懷裏,然後轉身離開了這裏,沒有再看一眼,包括坐在另一邊,似乎同樣愣住了的白落熙。
等慕辭剛一出了林柏涵的院子,腦海裏響起了任務完成的提示音。
[任務完成!男主似乎受到的打擊不小呢,任務完成的十分出色,請任務者再接再厲,繼續超标準完成任務!]
慕辭:“???”
打擊不小?到底?!
就剛才根據自己的人物設定自由發揮的一段話竟然對男主産生了這麽大的影響嗎?不過這有什麽好打擊到他的,白落熙不是喜歡大皇女的嗎?
想到這裏,慕辭突然心裏有些不舒服,或許是之前走過了那麽幾個世界,或多或少的,她對這個和自己一起走過了風風雨雨的這個男人,到底還是産生了一些感情的,這個她無法否認,因為她的心騙不了她。
但是她時刻謹記着自己作為任務者的原則和底線,不管現在這個男人到底對自己産生了多大的影響,到最後,她會将這份感情抹消的一幹二淨,畢竟到整個世界完成之後,這個男人關于這些世界的記憶,也同樣會被抹消。
另一邊,林柏涵的院子裏。
白落熙坐在那裏,看着那把上好的春山琴,心裏很不是滋味。但是他也不知道自己到底在酸個什麽勁。
方才那個女人對林柏涵的态度她都看到了,從走近這個府邸第一天開始,他還從未見到過她對哪個人這麽耐心過。
春山琴有多不好找,他知道,因為他年少的時候也是極喜歡琴的,當然也和天下幾乎所有琴師一樣,希望有一把春山琴,可以彈奏出更為動聽的的音色和旋律,如今見到這把琴,竟然會是在這種情況下。
想起方才的情形,白落熙心髒一緊,突然意識到。
那個女人也會同林柏涵做出那種事情嗎?也會在這個人的身下展現出那般脆弱的姿态嗎?
就像之前在新婚之夜他控制不住自己,只想狠狠侵占她那樣,她的輕呼和哭泣,也會被這個人看見麽。
白落熙越胡思亂想,他的臉色越陰沉幾分,往日的溫潤風雅在此刻消失,他突然不想看到那琴了,甚至說有些厭惡那琴,一如他對林柏涵突然産生的一絲嫉恨和厭惡之意。
等他從林柏涵的院子裏出來回到了自己的院落的時候,白落熙才後知後覺地意識到自己方才那無禮的行徑,同時也被自己突然不知何時冒出來的濃濃的占有和陰暗的想法給吓到了。
他怎麽會突然對那個女人産生這種想法,他們兩個之間明明只是見過寥寥幾面而已,甚至都沒有多說過幾句話,只不過陰差陽錯地發生了那種事情,他怎麽就……怎麽就……
這太荒唐了,對于從小一起長大的大皇女他都沒有絲毫的其他想法,對于只見過幾面的鳳慕辭,他的感情怎麽來的如此突然迅猛。
他想要靠近慕辭,想要将她壓在身下,想要進入她,想要貫穿她,想要看到那張冷漠的臉上帶上脆弱卻真切的眼淚,想要看到她一邊哭一邊求饒,想要那雙漠然的眸子裏只看着自己,想要狠狠責問她,問她為什麽喜歡別人不喜歡自己,為什麽這麽長時間不來看他甚至還躲着他,想要……
白落熙想着想着,不敢再想下去了。
他連忙拿出一卷書開始看,試圖将腦海裏各種瘋狂的念頭和想法壓下去,只不過過了好半天,他身後的小侍白午瞧見自家公子盯着那頁書看了許久都不曾翻下一頁,也不知到底在想些什麽事。
白落熙的耳朵不知何時染上了一抹豔色。
從林柏涵院子裏回來後,慕辭按照系統提示的內容,立馬開始着手準備讓白落熙接手管理自己府邸的事情,畢竟她這個府邸對于男主來說算是新手村,她要暗中幫助他建立屬于白落熙的第一支勢力,方便以後男主能夠更好更輕易地反過來對付自己。
想想就有點開心呢……呵呵。
說幹就幹,慕辭立馬找來自己的得力管家,特意交代了他一些事情,并囑咐讓他一定要好好輔佐白落熙管理好二皇女府,當然如果一些複雜的需要操心的事情就不要麻煩白落熙了,無比要讓他順心。
管家聽着慕辭這一番話,覺得自家主子這個萬年不變的石頭終于動心了,頓時滿是欣慰之意,他決定以後一定要幫自家主子多多創造和白家大公子在一起的機會。
夫妻間加深彼此之前感情的不就是那種事情嗎。
她會幫自己主子好好籌備的。
白落熙接到消息的時候還有些沒緩過神來,他怎麽也沒想到慕辭會在短短不到一個月裏,就将府中的掌管大全統統交到他的手裏。
很快慕辭直接上門給他解了惑。
“本殿下把府中大小事交到你的手上,希望你能照顧好柏涵,他需要什麽,你就給他便是。”
哦吼,感覺自己像個渣女。
慕辭坐到一旁,兀自給自己倒了杯茶,淡淡說道。
林柏涵,又是林柏涵。白落熙本來稍微提起來的心瞬間跌落在低谷。
“殿下自己的人自己照顧,落熙恕難從命。”白落熙不卑不亢,反正明着和慕辭對着幹。
慕辭本來就沒指望他能答應這個令人十分無語的要求,畢竟她本來就是借這個由頭來暗中幫助他成長,但是也沒有想到對方拒絕的如此幹脆,畢竟林柏涵對他來說不存在什麽威脅,除非他林柏涵和大皇女有一腿,将他視作了自己的情敵。
但是……白落熙應該不知道這件事才對啊,那怎麽聽着方才那拒絕的話裏,白落熙對林柏涵存着這麽大的敵意。
不管就不管吧,她也沒太想管林柏涵,慕辭随意擺了擺手,把這件事情交代之後,就打算要離開了。
白落熙見她只是為了特意交代這個,臉色有些沉。
在慕辭踏出房門之際,邁着長腿,幾步走上前一把拽住了她的胳膊,将她拉了回來,慕辭沒注意猛地被拽回去轉過身差點沒撞進白落熙的懷裏,她詫異了一瞬,白落熙從哪兒來這麽大勁兒。
“你幹什麽,要是有什麽不清楚的,管家會告訴你的。”慕辭覺得現在的白落熙眼神有些危險,莫名想要下意識遠離他。
“殿下。”
白落熙清清冷冷的,卻是微微啞着嗓子就這麽叫了她一聲。那聲音像是湊在她的耳邊一樣,聲音極為的好聽,甚至還帶着一種磁性,以及淡淡的溫軟。
慕辭停在耳朵裏,有種……像是要懷孕的感覺,臉轟的一下紅了。
心跳如擂鼓,慕辭有些慌亂下意識地反手推了他一下,由于白落熙另一只手還拽着她的另一只胳膊,所以慕辭根本沒推開,甚至對方也不知是有意還是無意地往自己懷裏又拽了一下。
“殿下,那次的事情确實是我做錯了,我向你道歉,對不起。”
白落熙看着她躲閃的目光有些難受,但是視線觸及到對方發紅的耳尖,卻又喉嚨一緊,眸色微沉。
有一種莫名的沖動。
作者有話要說: 熙熙開始主動出擊了!哈哈哈~不動聲色将慕小辭吃幹抹淨!
