Zhiyu bit his lip and stood aside, watching Xiaoxiao busy in front of him like a spinning top.

"Lord Wang, your medicine is ready!"

"Lord Wang, it's cold today, I'll add a back gown for you!"

"Lord Wang, this is plum crisp and red date longan soup, you use some to remove the bitterness in your mouth. ”

"Lord ......."

Zhiyu couldn't intervene at all, and he was inevitably indignant. Although she only glanced at the handsome prince, she clearly saw the shock in his deep dark eyes, saw the endless pain, and saw the faint sadness.

At that moment, she knew that her face was different in his eyes.

Zhiyu is a smart person, and she immediately avoided his painful and silent gaze, just to arouse his interest.

Doesn't it mean that the more difficult it is to get it, the more desperate the man will be?

But what is the matter now? I have been pestle like a wood for so long, and the prince who was staring at her directly before, now it is as if he does not know her at all. When the light of her eyes occasionally swept over her, it was also a quiet silence.

For a moment, Zhiyu suspected that the previous glance was that he would be wrong, otherwise why was there such a far difference between the front and back.

But Xiaoxiao's provocative eyes from time to time made her regain her confidence in the anxiety. She firmly believed that she was different, and that Mrs. Yue's personal maid would behave so deliberately.

They are so strict in guarding against it, they must be afraid that they will hook the soul of the prince. Hmph, it's a pity that a man's heart can't be kept like this.

Thinking of this, she secretly looked at Liu Hui, who was looking down at a book. His eyes drooped, and his butterfly-winged eyelashes cast a semicircular shadow on his lower eyelid. The bridge of his nose is high and beautiful, and his lips are gently pursed, although slightly pale but still sexy. Even his fingers holding the scroll were slender and white, and they looked very clean and comfortable.

Zhiyu was looking carefully, and suddenly a flower appeared in front of him, but the haunting Xiaoxiao appeared again. This time, not only did he firmly block her vision, but he also crossed his waist and raised his chin at her defiantly. Zhiyu bit her lip and reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

No, Miss is not here today, Mrs. Yue is not here, and even Xiaoqing is not here, it is the perfect time. If you don't do something to impress the prince, maybe the prince will forget about himself in a blink of an eye.

Zhiyu's head was running fast, and his misty eyes were full of calculations.

Suddenly, hearing a soft sound of "click", Liu Hui picked up the teacup and glanced at it, and quickly put it back. Seeing this, Xiaoxiao hurriedly whispered: "But the prince wants tea?" Master Liu said that you are not allowed to drink tea for half an hour after drinking the medicine. ”

Liu Hui hummed softly, and then said, "Isn't it half an hour yet?"

Xiaoxiao looked back at the dripping leaky pot and said with a smile: "It's almost over, I'll go make tea for you." ”

Her eyes rolled, and when she saw Zhiyu standing quietly in the corner, her eyebrows unconsciously wrung up. She didn't feel at ease about letting the prince stay alone in a room with this obviously ill-intentioned little hoof.

Zhiyu was busy, and said softly: "It's better to ask my sister to stay here and serve the prince, and I'll go to the teahouse to prepare tea." ”

"Are you going?" Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, thinking that it would be better to direct her out, so she crossed her waist and ordered unceremoniously: "Then you go, remember, don't soak in the dragon well before the rain, the prince likes to drink Lao Junmei recently." ”

"Yes!"

Zhiyu bent his knees and was blessed, and then quietly retreated.

Xiaoxiao looked at her thin back, and was secretly proud in her heart. Since she is in possession, those fox goblins will definitely not be able to get close to the prince's body.

She turned her head sideways and cautiously glanced at Liu Hui, who was still concentrating on reading, but secretly prayed in her heart: "Madam, when will your temperament disappear! Although Xiaoxiao can block these little hooves, if that Miss Zhang family comes back, it will be really useless." ”

She didn't know that Zhang Jiao was sitting in the old lady's Buddhist hall at this moment, copying scriptures in a serious manner. Every time she finished copying a sentence, the old lady on the side would knock on the rosewood fish in her hand, and her lips were still squirming rapidly, as if she was reverently reciting scriptures.

The eldest lady sat aside, still pinching the Buddha beads in her hands, and chanting scriptures in her mouth.

In the incense burner on the offering table, there are curling green smoke gently raised like a veil, transforming into various ink patterns that twist and turn in the air, and then fluttering and disappearing in front of you. Only the gentle and elegant atmosphere is left, lingering in the solemn Buddhist hall.

Counting it, it has been almost an hour since it was written, and Zhang Jiao has already copied the entire Diamond Sutra. She put down the brush, rubbed her sore wrist, and asked Xiaoqing to present the scriptures she had copied to the old lady.

The old lady put down the wooden fish, reached out and took the scripture that had not dried in ink, and looked at it carefully. The mouth is still constantly praising it: "Miss Zhang's hairpin flower Xiaokai is afraid that she has more than ten years of skill! It is really graceful and delicate, seeing this word is like seeing me, my wife really likes it tightly." ”

Zhang Jiao stood up and said with a smile: "I also saw a few sisters' words, and they write very well, I'm just an axe." The old lady boasted so much, but it made me feel ashamed. ”

The old lady snorted and said, "Those ghost girls, where do you have the patience to accompany me, a bad old woman." It is perfunctory to greet each day, let alone calm down and copy the scriptures. ”

Zhang Jiao smiled softly: "Since the old lady doesn't dislike me for being shallow and unable to see people, I'll help the old lady copy a few more scriptures!"

The old lady couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously glanced at the eldest lady. They are still thinking that after the scriptures are copied, this Miss Zhang will probably not be able to keep it. Unexpectedly, she actually offered to stay and continue to copy the scriptures, and the development of things seemed to be completely different from what they had imagined before.

The old lady was just stunned, and immediately smiled and said, "Okay, good, good, I'm afraid that Miss Zhang is too tired." ”

Zhang Jiaowan smiled and said, "It's just copying the scriptures, and I can't be tired." I used to help my grandmother copy scriptures at home. Because she was old and her eyes weren't very good, I wrote them all a little bigger to make her look less struggling. ”

The old lady's heart moved, and she picked up the stack of scriptures again and looked at them carefully, she suddenly realized: "I said that I usually read the scriptures are crooked, like earthworms crawling, how to see clearly today is not effortless at all, it turns out ..... You kid really have a heart. ”

The old lady's praise is sincere and heartfelt, not as obvious as the previous exaggeration.

When the eldest lady heard this, she also put down the Buddhist beads, took the scriptures with great interest and looked at them carefully, and couldn't help nodding her head: "In the past, I often heard the old lady complain, saying that this scripture looked more and more laborious, and we didn't think of copying the words bigger. Miss Zhang even thought of this, presumably to be extremely filial to the elderly in the family. ”

Zhang Jiao smiled and lowered her eyes silently, but reached out to hold the pen again.

"Miss!" Xiaoqing, who had been waiting by her side, couldn't help but call: "You have been with the old lady for more than three hours......

She was anxious, and finally met King Xian, why did she waste all her time here with this inexplicable old woman.

The young lady should seize the opportunity to curry favor with the virtuous king. Especially thinking that only Zhiyu was serving in front of King Xian now, Xiaoqing's heart was as uncomfortable as a cat scratch.

"Xiaoqing!" Zhang Jiao interrupted Xiaoqing's words loudly, and she said in a deep voice without anger: "When I see the old lady today, it is like seeing the grandmother in the house, I just feel extremely kind. Not to mention that I only accompanied me for three hours, even if I stayed up all night and copied scriptures for the old lady, I would be happy. ”

"But, but!" The little bit of caution in her heart couldn't be said, Xiaoqing held back for a long time before she whispered: "But from the time we entered the mansion to the present, the grain of rice has not entered, and I, I, I really can't support it." ”

Zhang Jiao's face changed greatly, and she said angrily: "Xiaoqing, you are too rude." Could it be that the rules are taught like this in the prince's mansion?"

"Miss Zhang should not be angry, but I am not hospitable!" The eldest lady saw that the pair of master and servant were talking to each other, and immediately started a round: "I'll let someone prepare the meal." ”

called a few girls in the house to accompany Zhang Jiao to dinner, and the eldest lady secretly pulled the old lady to nag again.

"Mother, what do you think of today's events?"

The old lady was still looking at the oversized Diamond Sutra with love, and couldn't help but sigh when she heard it: "She is a virtuous princess, she really does not disgrace the virtuous king, and the emperor really pointed out a good marriage for the virtuous king." It's a pity that I grew up watching the moon girl, otherwise I really can't hate such a delicate person. ”

The eldest lady nodded again and again, many of her praises for Zhang Jiao were casual in the past, and after reading this scripture, she really liked Zhang Jiao a little more. But she can't ignore the moon girl, this situation is really a headache for her.

I heard the old lady suddenly sigh faintly and said, "Daughter-in-law, this time I'm afraid that you and I have become villains in vain." I don't think that Miss Zhang seems to have any intention of being a virtuous princess. ”

The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Why did my mother say that, do you see something?"

The old lady coughed lightly and said, "You don't remember, she just said that she would copy the scriptures from me all night." ”

The eldest lady was puzzled and said, "I remember, but what does this have to do with whether or not to be a virtuous princess?"

The old lady thought for a while and said, "Actually, if you think about it, although this Miss Zhang came to Dancui Villa to look for someone in the name of Princess Xian, and King Xian at that time had been in the North Hell, in fact, only Yue'er was with her in the villa.

After King Xian came back from Beiming, she has been borrowing in our general's mansion for the convenience of handling cases, and she also quietly stayed alone in the villa.

I heard that she came to look for him the next day after King Xian returned, but she only stayed for half an hour before leaving.

If you look at her performance today, she obviously wants to be with her old body, and I guess she wants to keep her name by using her wife. So I don't think she has any intention of becoming a princess. ”

The eldest lady's eyes lit up, and she said continuously: "Yes, yes, when I entered Renshoutang, the five girls almost slipped under the stool when they were sleepy. I watched her quietly wake up the five girls, and I felt that something was wrong. Now it seems that this Miss Zhang is really not a bad person. It's just why she's making such a fuss?"

The old lady lowered her voice and said in the eldest lady's ear: "I guess she has some kind of agreement with King Xian, and she wants to make a show to confuse some people, so that they think that there is a chance to divide the Zhang family in Xunyang and King Xian." ”

"You mean...... The eldest lady seemed to remember something, but she did not continue, but pointed upwards with her finger. Then she looked sad again: "If the two of them pinch up, our small general's mansion will be sandwiched in the middle, I'm afraid it will ......."

"What are you afraid of, if you don't offend, you can also offend, have you forgotten where Xie Jingde came from? I'm afraid that this time the old man will be poisoned, and it is also related to that person. The old lady snorted coldly, gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "Even if that is a real dragon, if you want to bite off our Weng family, you have to knock out a few teeth from him!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a while, but saw that the dark green curtain moved, but it was Zhang Jiao who came back from eating. She smiled and said, "Let the old lady, the eldest lady wait for a long time." ”

The old lady figured these things out, but she didn't have the heart to continue tossing her, she beckoned Zhang Jiao to sit down, and said kindly: "Can you still eat the food in the house? We are from a martial arts background, and we have never been too particular about food and clothing, so most of the things prepared in the kitchen are mainly satiety." If you don't like it, just say it, and I'll let them do something else. ”

Zhang Jiao said with a smile: "I eat it very well, especially the stir-fried asparagus, fried winter bamboo shoots with marinated meat, and oil, salt, and vegetables, which are all very refreshing." ”

"If you like it!" the old lady winked at the eldest lady.

The eldest lady got up, smiled and brought a gold-painted treasure box, and handed it to the old lady.

The old lady took it, handed it to Zhang Jiao, and said with a smile: "I know that you are from a famous family, and you have seen all kinds of good things." These are all the gadgets that the girl's family likes, and they are not worth much, but they are all fine. If Miss Zhang doesn't dislike it, I'll give it to you, and I want to thank you for copying so many scriptures for me today. ”

Zhang Jiao shirked a few more times, and when she saw that the old lady insisted, she let Xiaoqing take it.

The eldest lady asked someone to take another purse, handed it to Xiaoqing, and said, "Good girl, I should be rewarded for accompanying your young lady for so long!"

Xiaoqing was in a gloomy mood, and she only thought that she could go back to serve the handsome Xianwang sooner, but she didn't expect to be rewarded, so she took the purse and secretly weighed the weight of the purse, and the gloom in her eyes was immediately swept away. So he smiled and thanked the old lady and the eldest lady on his knees.

The old lady was not in a hurry to let Zhang Jiao copy the scriptures, but pulled her into the warm pavilion, sincerely put refreshments, and chatted about family life.

Suddenly, the mother-in-law cautiously asked outside: "Miss Zhang is there?"

Xiaoqing opened the curtain and went out when she heard the sound, and said in surprise: "What are you looking for our young lady?"

The mother-in-law said: "It was a girl who knew the rain who asked me to come to find Miss Zhang, saying that she accidentally burned her foot and wanted to ask the doctor to take a look!"
