Chapter 36 Incense


Chapter 36: Incense

Although spring is approaching and the cold has turned, the plum blossoms and snow are still floating.

The wind returns and sets together, and the sunshine never disappears.

The New Year is approaching, the weather is getting colder, and the snow that has stopped for a few days has begun to fall again. The plum trees in the yard are full of spring, and the clusters of flower buds are gradually unfurling. Seeing that in a few days, they will... Bloom in the cold.

But Wu Meiniang's heart was still filled with severe winter.

It has been more than ten days since I entered the house, and the wound on my forehead has healed to some extent, with only a little scab remaining. It will fall off in a few days, and I don't know if it will leave a scar. Women all love beauty, let alone a young and beautiful girl?

However, what worried Wu Meiniang more than whether the scar was removed or not was Fang Jun's attitude towards her.

Before, she had full confidence in her appearance, and any man would eventually surrender under her charm.

Even the wise and mighty Emperor in the palace...

From the look in His Majesty Li Er's eyes when he saw her for the first time, Wu Meiniang knew that this rich man had a primitive desire for her. As long as she was given time and opportunity, she would be able to conquer him!

It's a pity that I couldn't wait for the opportunity after all.

But Fang Jun's attitude towards her made Wu Meiniang deeply frustrated.

Because Fang Jun's attitude...has no attitude.

Wu Meiniang wouldn't care even if she scolded her with cold words, which at least proved that she existed in Fang Jun's eyes.

But after entering the house for more than ten days, he ignored me. What's going on?

Wu Meiniang was puzzled.

Not to mention your beautiful face and beautiful figure, how can a half-grown young man resist eating the fat on his lips, but when it comes to the fact that the emperor personally gave it to you, how dare you leave yourself aside, not afraid of the emperor's surrender? Sin?

Gently open the window, the sky is just bright, snow powder is falling in the yard, and the sky and the earth are gray.

Wu Meiniang's clear eyes turned slightly and looked at the east wall. On the other side of the wall was Fang Jun's yard.

Separated by a wall, but abandoning yourself like a worn-out shoe, why is this?

Wu Meiniang bit her red lips, her pretty face full of disappointment and confusion. Then, she remembered what Princess Gaoyang said when she visited her before leaving the palace, and a chill filled her heart.

Could it be that... Fang Jun is really a... rabbit?

The moment this thought came to her mind, Wu Meiniang felt a layer of goosebumps involuntarily appear on her delicate skin, and a chill ran through her body, like falling into an ice cave.

She was not the princess of Gaoyang who was born into the palace chief and the palace. She had heard and seen a lot of dirty and dirty things among noble families.

Marrying a "rabbit" who likes men's style is the most tragic experience for a woman.

It's not just as simple as staying alone in the boudoir and letting loneliness kill the youth. The psychology of men who like masculine styles has been distorted to the extreme and cannot be judged by common sense. Such people not only dislike women, but even regard women as unclean things. They will suffer bad luck. They will use thousands of cruel ways to torture women in their hearts, and they will suffer extremely vicious destruction, both physically and mentally.

Wu Meiniang only needs to think that she may one day suffer such cruel ravages and inhuman torture, and her pretty face turns pale...

The most despairing thing is that she was given to Fang Jun by His Majesty himself. She can only stay with Fang Jun in this life. The world is so big that there is no place for her...

How could his life be so miserable, and he had to leave the wolf's den and enter the tiger's den again?

Just as he was distressed and lamenting his ill-fated fate, the curtain at the door was lifted from the outside, and Fang Jun's personal maid, Qiao'er, walked in with light steps and said with a joyful face: "Girl, Madam asked me to come over and let you know. Put on some thick clothes and we’ll go to Qingyuan Temple to offer incense later. We have to be there at sunrise!”

"Qingyuan Temple?"

Wu Meiniang was stunned for a moment, nodded in agreement, then bit her lip and asked: "Then...will Erlang go?"

Qiao'er said matter-of-factly: "Of course I will. This time I went to offer incense to pray for Erlang. How could the real master not go?"

Hearing this, Wu Meiniang's slight joy because she was about to see Fang Jun disappeared instantly, and a touch of loneliness appeared on her pretty face.

Although she was in the house, she was an outsider, incompatible with everyone, and seemed completely isolated. She didn't even know about going to the temple to offer incense.

Of course, she also understood that no one deliberately targeted her like this, it was all because of the trouble caused by Fang Jun's attitude.

Fang Jun didn't want to see her, so how could the servants take her seriously?

Wu Meiniang felt miserable in her heart, but she forced herself to endure it. She smiled and said to Qiao'er: "Qiao'er, wait a moment, I'll be fine soon."

After saying that, Liu swayed her waist lightly, turned around and entered the back room.

After a while, he came out again, but with a change of clothes.

Wearing a light blue cotton skirt with simple colors and simple patterns, a hand-width belt hugged her small waist. She had a slender figure and graceful grace.

Her hair was tied up in a bun on the top of her head like a dark cloud, with a white jade hairpin inserted across it. A thin pale pink gauze covered her pretty face like a flower, revealing only her graceful eyebrows like a spring mountain. Eyes as bright as autumn water.

Qiaoer sighed sincerely: "The girl is so beautiful..."

Wu Meiniang's eyes were dark, but she forced a smile. What's the use of being beautiful? No matter how beautiful she is, like flowers and jade, she is as beautiful as a fairy, and your son-in-law probably won’t be interested at all...

Qiao'er is young and has not yet realized how much impact Wu Meiniang's appearance will have on her future status. She is not yet at the age of jealousy. I just thought that Wu Meiniang was like a fairy daughter who came out of the palace, and she was also a concubine given to Erlang by His Majesty the Emperor, so I naturally felt a little lowered in my heart.

Seeing Wu Meiniang's graceful appearance and jade-like temperament, she was even more convinced, so she took Wu Meiniang's hand and said with a sweet smile: "Let's go out quickly and let Erlang take a look!"

Wu Meiniang smiled faintly, let her hold her little hand, and left the wing.

The courtyard was crowded with people, and the servants in the mansion were all in a hurry, preparing things for their trip. Several hitched carriages had stopped at the gate.

Mrs. Lu walked out with the support of her eldest daughter-in-law Wen Shi. When she saw Wu Meiniang with a negative look on her face, she smiled and said, "Meiniang is a fairy-like figure. She looks so good no matter what she wears." She was very satisfied in her heart. No matter what, These are the future spouses of the second son. The marriage has not yet been consummated, so it is not a good idea to go out and show off. Such a negative attitude shows that she is a girl with a delicate mind.

Wu Meiniang hurriedly knelt down to salute her, and praised her mistress humbly.

Accompanying Mrs. Lu was a beautiful young woman with a beautiful face, graceful appearance and a certain affinity with Mrs. Lu. She was dressed in purple palace dress and wearing a phoenix hairpin. He smiled at Wu Meiniang and said, "Just call me eldest sister."

Wu Meiniang quickly knelt down and said, "Mr. Wu has met Princess Han."

But she is the princess of Li Yuanjia, the eleventh son of Emperor Gaozu and the current half-brother of His Majesty, King of Han, and the eldest daughter of Fang Xuanling.

Princess Han also praised a few words, then took Wu Meiniang's hand and said with a smile: "Let's take a car so we can talk on the way."

It was hard to refuse such hospitality, so Wu Meiniang could not refuse, so she had to follow her to the carriage parked at the door.

His eyes were erratic, looking for Fang Jun's figure.

Just at this moment, a carriage slowly drove out from the door. The driver rounded his arms and waved his riding whip, and the tip of the whip made a sharp explosion.

Princess Han smiled and said: "The second brother is really tender-faced. Just when he saw his future wife, he ran away in despair."

Wu Meiniang glanced at the carriage. The windows were covered with thick curtains, and she felt bitter in her heart. Was she treating Wu Meiniang as a scourge and trying to avoid it?

After all the family members got on the car, the motorcade slowly drove out of the gate and headed straight for Mingde Gate. (End of chapter)
