At that time, Yilan was playing like a little mermaid in the wooden basin filled with warm water. From time to time, she picked up the peach blossom petals floating on the water and threw them into the air. Although the petals were soaked in water and could not be thrown high, she still
She had a great time playing; when she was tired, she lay on the edge of the basin and let Mo Yu wipe her back.
"Mo Yu, do you think bathing in mare's milk can really make your skin as delicate as snow?" She suddenly turned her head and asked. Although she rejected Shui Yue's proposal out of anger at the time, she couldn't help but feel a little moved when she thought about it now.
Could it be that Mo Yu didn't know what she was thinking? He smiled slightly, stopped what he was doing and said, "Second Miss, you want to try it?" Seeing Yilan nodding, she added, "Second Miss, please wait a moment. I'll go to the kitchen to ask for some horses."
Here comes the milk."
"Yeah." Yilan nodded happily. After Mo Yu left, she played with the water for a while. Suddenly she thought of something and said to herself: "With such a big basin of water, if Mo Yu only brought a small bowl
Mare's milk, wouldn't it be gone if you pour it in? No, I have to ask her to get more."
Thinking of this, she stood up from the bucket and took the pajamas nearby and put it on her body. She walked barefoot to the door. She would not go out like this. There were usually people guarding outside at this time. All she had to do was give instructions through the door.
.
As soon as Yilan walked to the door, she heard Shui Yue's voice coming from outside. She said angrily: "That second lady really has a lot to do. She just takes a bath and has to ask for flower petals. Those peach petals are...
We finally picked it up and left it for the master to use on his face. Because of this, your hand was cut by a branch, and it hasn't healed yet. But now, she will leave with just one word."
"Okay, aren't you tired of being angry over this matter? Just calm down." This was Shui Xiu's voice. She advised: "Second Miss is the master, and we are just slaves. The master can do whatever he wants."
Okay, it’s not our slave’s turn to criticize.”
"Huh, what kind of master!" Shui Yue said disdainfully: "Calling her second lady is just for the sake of the master, but she really regards herself as a golden branch and a jade leaf, and she won't be polite at all. Once we get something good in our courtyard,
, she is always the first to use it, even the master wants to pick up her leftovers.
.You also said that it is uncomfortable to wash without flower petals. In my opinion, that is obviously hypocritical! Before the master was favored, I heard that Master Ling’s family could not even afford charcoal in the winter, let alone bathing with flower petals. It was just the master’s temperament.
Only then can I tolerate her, but if she wants to be replaced, I have to teach her a lesson!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down, it will be troublesome if Second Miss hears it." Seeing Shuiyue speaking louder and louder, Shui Xiu quickly interrupted her, and then advised: "No matter what, Second Miss is the master's only one."
Sister, the master will inevitably indulge in her. I know you can't understand the second young lady as a person, but the master treats us so well. We don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, so we have to endure it no matter what."
"I know." Shuiyue said dullly, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have given those peach blossoms to her just now. We worked so hard to pick them, but she took a bath and threw them all away. It really makes me feel bad to think about it."
"Okay, okay, when the peach blossoms bloom again next year at most, I will accompany you to pick all the peach blossoms in the house, okay? Don't be angry again!"
Shuiyue burst out laughing at what she said, and said in a concentrated voice: "If we pluck all the peach blossoms, why wouldn't all the masters in the house eat us alive when they see the bare branches?" After saying this, he no longer felt depressed, and talked with her.
Shuixiuxu said something else, unaware that what they had said before had fallen into Yilan's ears exactly word for word.
Yilan stood behind the door with a pale face, her hands clenched tightly at her sides. If she didn't have a trace of rational restraint, she would have wanted to rush out and give Shuiyue a few slaps.
She knew that she was able to stand here and be called Second Miss because of her sister. On the surface, those people were respectful to her, but in fact, no one really thought highly of her. For example, today, with just some flower petals, Shuiyue dared to push back and forth.
, it took my sister to speak before she reluctantly agreed. In their eyes, my sister is the only master, and she, Niu Hulu Yilan, is nothing in the palace of Yong County Prince!
Why? Why is it that all the good things have been taken by her sister? She can get the favor of the fourth elder brother without any effort, grant Jingsiju a concubine and a good fortune, and now she is pregnant, with fine clothes and fine food, and enjoys all the glory and wealth.
, and she has nothing? Not even the freedom to use some petals?
Obviously they are all sisters from the same mother, and even their faces are completely different, so why are their treatment so different? Why? She is not willing to give in! Not willing to give in!
Yilan bit her lower lip to prevent any sound from escaping. She dragged her numb legs to the rosewood bathtub. The peach blossoms and still water should have been the most splendid and beautiful scene, but she only felt that all this was extremely annoying.
Every piece of peach blossom turned into Shui Yue's mocking face, and her eyes almost burst out of hatred, and she slapped the water surface with her clenched fists to vent the almost crazy hatred in her heart.
When Mo Yu came in with the mare's milk, he was startled by the water stains and residual flowers on the ground. He walked over on tiptoes and cautiously said to Yilan who was standing by the wooden basin without saying a word: "Second Miss, what are you doing?"
Got up? But what happened?"
Yilan stared coldly at the mare's milk in her hand. Sure enough, there was only one bowl. Mo Yu, it seems that even you have no respect for me. Everything is just perfunctory for the sake of my sister!
She looked up, and there was no chilling hatred in her eyes. There was only a calmness that was inconsistent with her age, as if nothing had happened. "I'm fine. I just felt uncomfortable after soaking for too long, so I wanted to get up and walk.
As for this water..." He glanced at the messy ground and said lightly: "I accidentally slipped when I got up just now. I'll ask someone to come in and clean it up later."
After confirming that Yilan had not been injured anywhere, Mo Yu felt relieved, poured the mare's milk into the water, and while stirring the water, said: "When I went to the kitchen just now, there was only this cup of mare's milk left.
"Okay, Second Miss, I'll make do with it for now. I'll go to the kitchen early tomorrow and ask them to keep some more." After the water was almost mixed, he said, "Second Miss, that's all. I'll help you go in and soak for a while."
Her fingers slid across the milky white water surface, which was so light that she could barely see it. A sneer spread across her lips. There would be no mare's milk in such a huge palace. Do you really think she is a three-year-old child?
Her long hair was disheveled, covering her distorted face under the dim candlelight. Only a faint voice resounded in the room, "No need, you can change my clothes for me."
Mo Yu was startled when he heard this. The second young lady had just said she wanted to take a bath in mare's milk. Why did she change her mind just now? It was strange. She thought that the bottle of mare's milk had already been poured in. It would not be a pity if she just poured it out.
After some more persuasion, Yilan refused and had no choice but to wipe her body and change her clothes.
