Xu Shichu used her sharp tongue to irritate everyone and let all the ladies at the banquet who were angry with her see her unique abilities, but no one took advantage of her at all.
Although she is now the wife of the prime minister, her family background is not very good and she does not have a good reputation. Therefore, the ladies whose husbands are in high positions still dislike her and want to use words to stab her, but she will retaliate one by one. Go back,
Because of this, Xu Shichu became famous in the first battle. Everyone knew that although she was young and beautiful, she was not one to be criticized. She also liked to brag and had a hard-to-explain personality. She was shameless. Everyone looked down upon her, but they no longer dared to look down on her. .
After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion after the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, Xu Shichu was washing up in the inner room when she heard someone coming to report that Luo Changqing had come to see her.
"Let him wait outside." Xu Shichu said casually while taking a bath with flowers and enjoying Zhichun's careful massage. He had no intention of finishing the bath quickly and going to see Luo Changqing.
Zhixia suppressed her impatience and went out to report to Luo Changqing obediently, fearing that Luo Changqing would throw away her sleeves after hearing that he was told to wait, but she did not expect that Luo Changqing actually sat down and did not leave.
Zhixia quickly asked people to bring tea and snacks, and then stood aside carefully to listen to orders.
Luo Changqing took a sip of tea and looked around the room, and found that the furnishings here were completely different from before, with sandalwood furniture, exquisite and elegant furnishings, and a long incense burning on the high table not far away.
The elegant and exquisite decoration in the house seems inconsistent with Xu Shichu's sharp and clever temperament, Luo Changqing thought in his heart.
After he came back, he heard his subordinates report on Xu Shichu's performance at the palace banquet. He was shocked and a little funny as expected. He didn't expect that this timid young lady from Ning Yuan's house, who was like a quail at the beginning, seemed to be a completely different person now. He actually dared to start a fight with many ladies from high-ranking families without losing any of them, which really made him extremely curious.
So he came here, but he didn't know why he came to see Xu Shichu and settle a score with her?
No, even if her behavior at the palace banquet was a bit arrogant, it was not a big problem. After all, she was just arguing with words and did not do anything illegal or rebellious. It was harmless. With his current status, other No matter how much your lady dislikes her, she can't do anything to her.
——This is indeed what she said before entering the palace, "the fox pretends to be the tiger's power".
Luo Changqing couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly when he thought of this, and he felt unexpectedly happy.
He was thinking about something, but for some reason his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and his thinking became slower and slower. A gentle and quiet sweetness seemed to wrap around him gently like the warmth of spring, making him more and more sleepy, and his eyes couldn't help but Closed...
Seeing that the male master had not moved for a long time, Zhixia could not help but raise his eyes curiously, but was shocked to find that he had closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep!
She suddenly didn't know if she should wake him up. At this time, Shu Qi, the personal attendant standing on the other side of Luo Changqing, also found that his master had fallen asleep here. He was shocked for a moment, but he soon calmed down and returned to the room. Zhixia, who was still hesitant, shook his head slightly.
Zhixia immediately gave up her plan to wake him up, and just muttered in her heart that the master said he was waiting for the master, but she didn't expect that he came to the master's outer room to sleep - she knew that the master never stayed overnight at his wife's place.
When Xu Shichu came out after washing up, he saw his maid and Luo Changqing's attendant standing beside Luo Changqing, watching him sleep.
"Ahem," Xu Shichu coughed lightly. Luo Changqing didn't wake up. She couldn't help but step harder. Luo Changqing remained motionless. Fortunately, he sat upright and fell asleep without falling down!
Shu Qi was a little surprised when he saw that his master, who had always been alert after falling asleep, didn't wake up due to such a big movement. After being surprised, he became embarrassed, so he quickly leaned over and shouted in Luo Changqing's ear: "Master! Wake up! Wake up! Master..."
After shouting several times, Luo Changqing was finally woken up.
Luo Changqing's eyes were blank when he first woke up. After seeing the unfamiliar surroundings clearly, he quickly remembered his current situation.
However, his face was very calm, without any embarrassment or shame. He stroked his sleeve lightly and said nonchalantly: "Sorry, I was too sleepy and took a nap."
"I see." Xu Shichu replied, "Why did you come to me if you didn't go back to rest so late?"
She didn't think that Luo Changqing wanted to "favor" him. After all, the way he looked at her now was pure and innocent, without any hint of ambiguity, and he obviously had no interest in her at all.
Luo Changqing really had no other thoughts about her. Although after taking a bath, her long hair was slightly damp, her cheeks were pink, her eyes were moist and full of eyes, which improved her beauty during the day, like a bright and beautiful fairy peach, she wanted to especially One bite.
"I heard that you said a lot of arrogant words tonight and offended a lot of people." Luo Changqing asked, looking at Xu Shichu who was now extraordinarily refined after taking off his makeup and freshening up, looking like a hibiscus emerging from water, this innocent and innocent look Her appearance can deceive many people when she doesn't speak, but who knows that when she speaks, she will make people mad to death? The contrast is a bit big.
"What? Are you here to call for punishment?" Xu Shichu asked rudely, "I thought you, a busy man, wouldn't care about this little bit of verbal quarrel between women. Isn't it enough to affect the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Luo Changqing saw that she had no regrets at all, and sighed in his heart and said: "No, I just remind you to control your scale and not be too arrogant, otherwise people will think that the new wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion is arrogant and domineering and makes people laugh - —It will affect the marriage of my children."
"Oh, that's it." Xu Shichu suddenly realized, no wonder he came over to warn him all night. It turned out that he was afraid that if he acted too much outside, it would hinder Luo Rui and Luo Yaqing's marriage.
"Don't worry, I am sensible. I will cultivate my mind at home and won't offend all the dignitaries in the capital." Xu Shirou promised.
After Luo Changqing reminded her of this, he asked her in detail about the character and virtue of the ladies he had previously asked her to observe during the banquet.
Xu Shichu agreed to this matter, and while quarreling with the ladies, he naturally carefully observed the words and deeds of those ladies, and stated what he saw objectively and fairly, without expressing his own private opinions.
Luo Changqing listened very carefully, and after Xu Shichu finished speaking and thanked her, he left.
"Master is so sleepy, why don't you come to Madam to talk about this tomorrow? It's not in a hurry anyway." Shu Qi followed Luo Changqing and asked doubtfully.
"I'm afraid she will forget when she wakes up tomorrow." Luo Changqing said with a smile.
