"Madame, don't be sad, cry carefully and break your eyes. "In the side hall of the Chengen Hall of the East Palace, a little palace maid is softly comforting the prince Zhaoxun Cui, who is crying on the couch and wearing a moon-white plain brocade dark patterned coat.

Cui Shi raised his head and glanced at the little palace maid fiercely, glaring at the little palace maid so frightened that she wanted to bury her head in the placket of her clothes, and then she wiped her tears and choked up: "How can I not be sad! I was a good person yesterday, but today I am gone! I am this one brother, the only relative in this world, she can't even say that she will be killed with a cane, so ruthless!"

Another older palace maid who looked at the more calm palace maid who had been standing on the side with her eyebrows lowered and her head lowered her head was standing on the side, and when she heard this, she hurriedly persuaded in a low voice: "Madame, don't talk nonsense!"

As soon as the words fell, a crisp female voice sounded outside the house: "Who is so ruthless?" The voice was not high, but it carried a little questioning.

The three masters and servants in the house were all startled, and they all turned their heads to look at the door, and a thin-soled embroidered shoe embroidered with a pattern of a hundred sons of durian was the first to catch their eye, and then a woman wearing a silver-red skirt of flowers appeared at the door, followed by a pretty woman dressed in a fine brocade dress of cloud geese, and each of them was followed by a fifteen or sixteen-year-old palace maid.

As soon as Cui Shi saw these two people, she frowned, and a deep impatience arose in her heart, but in an instant, she restrained her feelings, wiped the tears from her face, and quickly stood up from the couch and squatted down to salute the two women who suddenly came. "I've seen Guan Liangyuan, Xiao Chenghui. My subordinates here are getting more and more disagreeable, and the masters have all arrived at the door and don't know how to report it, and I ask for forgiveness if I miss it. ”

The woman in the silver-red flower-pulling skirt sat down on the couch without waiting for her to say hello, and squinted at Cui Shi without smiling: "Sister, don't complain, you are busy grieving for your brother's death and at the same time you want to say bad things about others, even if you report it, you don't have time to pay attention, right? Eh, who are you talking about just now? Who is so ruthless? Say it so that I and my cousin will know." She has always looked at Cui's unpleasant, always thinking that she is the crown prince's Chenghui's higher rank than Cui's, and she is the niece and nephew of the concubine's mother's family, and the prince's cousin.

Cui Shi just lost his brother and was angry for a while before he spoke, but he didn't expect to call the rival to listen, at first she was a little scared, but at this time she had calmed down, in the face of Xiao's ill-intentioned questioning, Cui Shi wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and said with a sad face: "Thank you Sister Xiao for your concern, my sister just remembered that although my brother is not angry, he is the only relative in this world after all, and now he has left me ruthlessly, I naturally want to scold him twice." As he spoke, tears flowed down, and he was in a posture of crying bitterly.

Xiao Shi looked down on her the most, she looked like she had been greatly wronged at every turn, and the prince was not in the mansion, who was she going to show her? ! "People can't be resurrected after death, so don't be too sad about Cui Zhaoxun. Besides, Steward Cui was given to death by Concubine Shu Niangniang for his sins, if you are too sad to reach the ears of Niangniang, I am afraid that it will not be good. Her voice was soft, and her words were full of comfort, not as pure schadenfreude as Shaw had come.

Although Cui's usually doesn't like this prince Liangyuan, but compared to Xiao Shi, who wants to trouble her all the time, she still has a good impression of the prince's cousin, especially at this time, she didn't take the opportunity to fall into the well, but comforted her gently, and suddenly made Cui's heart softer a lot, and there was a rare trace of gratitude in her voice: "Thank you Liangyuan, although the concubine is stupid, she also knows how to do it, my eldest brother deserves it, and the concubine is sad and sad, but there is no resentment." ”

"Hmph!" Xiao snorted coldly from his nose, "It sounds better than it sings!"

Guan glanced at her and said with some disgust: "Cousin!"

Xiao Shi glanced at her in displeasure, turned his head but did not speak again.

Guan Shi also ignored Xiao Shi anymore, and only said softly to Cui Shi: "I have already instructed the steward to find a good place in the suburbs to bury your brother An, and now this situation is not a big funeral, in the future... Alas... Ask for grace from the Lord again. "Cui Teng is the steward of the prince's mansion and was ordered to be killed by the prince's biological mother, Concubine Shu, according to the rules, such a person is wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave outside the city. Cui's originally wanted to wait for the prince to return to the house and then beg him to bury his brother, but he didn't expect that Guan had already done the matter, and Rao was like an iron stone, and he couldn't help but be grateful for Guan's thoughtfulness and kindness at this moment. "Liangyuan's kindness and concubine are kept in mind, and if there is a chance in the future, they will definitely make up for it!" Cui Shi bowed deeply to Guan's family.

Guan Shi helped her and smiled more and more kindly: "It's all my own sisters who say that they don't make up for it? Besides, since my lord handed over this inner courtyard to me, I naturally want to take care of you for him." Guan sat with Cui Shi for a while, relieved a few words, and when he saw that she was tired, he pulled Xiao Shi, who had been breathing and not speaking, to get up and say goodbye. Cui was grateful to Guan for burying his brother, and although he didn't like Xiao to look at Guan's face, he still sent them out of the gate of Cheng'en Hall together.

"How can you help that little slut speak?!" As soon as he came out of the Cheng'en Palace, Xiao couldn't help but shake off his hand, and his face was full of anger.

Guan Shi's hand was thrown away, and he was not annoyed, he still stepped forward and affectionately took Xiao's arm and pulled her to the Eight Phoenix Hall where the two of them lived, and whispered: "I know that my cousin is not happy to see her occupying the lord's favor, but the master just likes her, what can you do? Could it be that you can snub her by stabbing her a few words? In the end, it is not you who is crying and suffering in front of the master?"

Xiao Shi also agreed with what Guan said in his heart, but he couldn't get over his face, and he stiffened his neck and said: "Are you still afraid of that little slut?

"Cousin?" Guan's voice was a little mocking, "What kind of cousin are we?" Don't say that in the heart of the master, in the eyes of the aunt, the surname is Dugu, and the surname Situ is the cousin of the master!

"You!" Xiao Shi turned his head and stared at Guan Shi fiercely, her words were like a knife cutting his heart, Xiao Shi wanted to refute but couldn't say a word, and finally he could only shake off Gong's hand again in anger and take his palace maid to the Eight Phoenix Hall first.

Guan quietly looked at the back of Xiao Shi who left angrily, and did not chase her, and only when her figure was out of sight did he spit out two words from his mouth: "Idiot!"
