She walked in, and after entering the room, the room was filled with the smell of books, so that anyone who loves books couldn't help but take a deep breath. Looking up, an object on the desk in the southeast corner of the room was the first to catch her attention.

This is a kite, and it looks somewhat familiar. She couldn't help but raise her hand to touch it, and when she touched it, she immediately felt strange. Turning his hand over, there were some scarlet shards stained on it. When I got closer, I smelled it, and there was a fishy smell.

She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that this was the one she had used at the palace banquet a year ago. Unexpectedly, Ying Hao actually took it back intact and treasured it here. The blood on it had long since dried up, and the tips of her fingers were stained with dried blood when she touched it.

At this moment, there was a noise from the second floor.

Pear and Plum also heard it, and the two immediately looked in the direction of the stairs vigilantly. There are people on the second floor, but the mansion of the four princes is not small in broad daylight.

She led the way upstairs, also to see who it was.

"Sister Princess. "It's orioles and cuckoos.

The three of them took a look at each other, and the two immediately put down the books in their hands and got up to salute her.

She first looked at the layout of the second floor. Like the first floor, the room is full of tight bookcases, full of books, and thoughtfully arranged in the southeast corner by the window to facilitate reading at any time, and a soft collapse is also set up next to it for people to perch.

When she first went upstairs, she saw Huang Li and Du Juan sitting in front of the desk and lying on the soft collapse. When you have nothing to do, sitting here for half a day and reading a book is also a good pastime.

Because of her arrival, the two of them seemed a little restrained.

She waved her hand and said, "You can continue to read." I'll pick two and go. Now that she has decided, she will send the two away in a few days, and she is not in a hurry, and she has no intention of talking to the two more.

Huang Li and Du Juan glanced at each other and said respectfully, "Yes." ”

There were a lot of books on the first floor, and she had no intention of going to the third floor right away, so she turned around and motioned for Pear and Plum to go downstairs. No, as soon as the three of them turned around, they collided with one person on the stairs.

"Ahh

She quickly pulled the plum open, and reached out to scoop up the pothos that had almost fallen down the stairs in a hurry to dodge.

"Princess......" Luluo looked at her in shock, and hurriedly said, "Thank you." ”

She meowed, and the pothos was holding a tray with a pot of hot tea on it, steaming from the mouth of the bottle, and two cups beside it. She raised an eyebrow, dismissed the idea of going downstairs, let go of the pothos, and turned sideways to make way for the pothos.

There was such a fuss at the staircase, and when I looked back, the expressions on the faces of the yellow bird and the cuckoo were really interesting.

Seeing her get out of the way, the green pothos looked at her face, hesitated for a moment, but still walked in front of Huang Li and Du Juan, put the tea set in his hand on the table, and said, "Huang Li Lady, Cuckoo Lady, the hot tea you ordered." ”

The yellow bird and the cuckoo looked at each other again, and then they did not dare to look at her, nor at the pothos, nor did they dare to speak.

She smiled and walked over one step at a time. Huang Li still had the eyesight to see, and immediately gave way to the position. She sat down in the place where Huang Li had just been sitting. Pear immediately poured her a cup of tea. She sniffed it, it was the best Biluochun. Because she was afraid of getting hot, she just sniffed it and put it back on the table.

She didn't speak, quietly looking at the three people in front of her. The three of them did not dare to speak.

"Pothos, you didn't serve in the study, why did you come here?" she asked.

Lu Luo was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't this the study?"

Yes...... She was also stunned for a second, yes, this is also a study. Is the pothos in charge of serving in this study? She thought that Ying Hao was asking the pothos to serve in the original study. I don't know if the original study is still there...... Didn't Ying Hao go back to the study to deal with official business? Now no one is here, it should be in the original study, right?

At this time, Lizi explained to her: "Princess, the original study is still there, but it has been changed to a small study room dedicated to the office and reception of guests, and the main thing is that Zhihua is responsible for serving. If you are in the house this year, you will come here to read books when you have time. The pothos is in charge of waiting here. ”

She nodded at the pear, and when she turned around, she finally said to Huang Li and the cuckoo, "You always come here to read?"

Huang Li and Cuckoo replied, "Occasionally." One of them replied, "Yes." ”

She looked at the book that the cuckoo had placed on the soft floor, a book of poetry, and asked, "Has there been any progress in poetry?"

When she asked, a layer of doubt suddenly rose in the hearts of the three of them, and they felt that she was even more familiar.

The cuckoo didn't have time to answer. The corners of her mouth hooked up a smile of unknown meaning, and asked Huang Li: "You don't like to study, but you want to try your luck today and see if you can bump into the master?"

Huang Li also did not answer, but acquiesced. estimated that her "occasionally" was also when Ying Hao was in the house, so she happened to want to read a book.

In fact, it's not just the orioles, most of the cuckoos are here today for this purpose. It's just that neither of them expected that it was not Ying Hao who was waiting for her, but her. She also glanced at the book Huang Li was reading, which was also a lyric book, which was very suitable for singing. Just looking at the books the two read, most of the purpose is to please Ying Hao.

It is worth noting that there is a book on this table, but it has nothing to do with poetry, it is a storybook.

"You like to read here when you're free?" she asked.

Pothos nodded and replied, "Yes." The pothos asked the master, and the master said that the book here can also be read by the pothos. ”

Then that book is what Pothos was originally reading. It's just that the yellow bird and the cuckoo came halfway, and it was mainly anti-guest, which evoked the pothos.

"That's what they used to call you to?" she finally asked. Huang Li and the cuckoo suddenly froze when they heard this.

Luluo also sensed the seriousness of her problem, but still said truthfully: "In the past, when the former master was not in the house, most of the two ladies just came to take one or two books back to the room to read. Today is the first time to ......" and "call her", and the pothos can't say it for some reason.

She narrowed her eyes almost imperceptibly and gave the pothos one more look.

"Did they have the privilege of bumping into Master here before?" she asked Luthos again.

Luluo immediately shook his head, glanced at Huang Li and Cuckoo, and said: "Actually, if you come to read a book, you will ask Luluo to close the door every time, and no one else will be allowed to come in and disturb you." ”

It seems that the two of them are really lucky, and they really failed to bump into Ying Hao once. Otherwise, you should have known that this place is not suitable for waiting for rabbits.

"Actually, the master also instructed that this study should not be called in. The pothos swallowed, and even added such a sentence.

The oriole and cuckoo immediately stared at the pothos with wide eyes.

"Oh?" she smiled at Pothos and motioned for Pothos to continue.

The pothos seemed to have plucked up her courage and continued to say loudly: "The master said that this study was specially built for the princess, and on weekdays, except for the pothos, you can come in and clean, and you can also get the permission of the master to read the books here, and no one else will be allowed to enter." ”

"Then you still ......" The cuckoo was a little impatient, and immediately questioned the pothos, but was scolded back by her fluttering eyes in the middle of the sentence.

The pothos also looked up at the cuckoo, and when she spoke, she lowered her head, but there was something crystalline in her eyes, and she complained: "The status of the pothos is humble, and the two ladies insist on coming in to read the book, and the pothos can't stop it." ”

The cuckoo immediately wanted to talk back again, but was pulled by the yellow bird. The latter also looked at her quietly.

She followed the pothos's words, her face turned cold, and she questioned Huang Li and Du Juan, "Do you still know your identity?"

"Poof!" "Poof!" Huang Li immediately knelt down, and also pulled the cuckoo to kneel down.

"Do you know who you are?" After the two knelt down, she also questioned Luthos.

The pothos was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly knelt in front of her with a "poof".

The three of them knelt for a moment, but they didn't see her any more.

"What about your answer?" she was waiting for their answer, and the first sentence was actually a question.

Huang Li and Du Juan glanced at each other, and Huang Li replied: "The status of the concubine is low, and she dare not ......."

"Oh, don't dare, don't you dare to summon the pothos to make tea for you?" This sentence is not a question, she then said, "But this morning the pothos recognized herself as a maid in front of me, so that you feel that you are also her master, and you can call her?"

Who knows if she's asking or what. The oriole and cuckoo decided to remain silent.

"You know, the three of you have been the same from beginning to end. There was some deep meaning in her words, and her eyes were mainly fixed on the pothos.

The pothos bit her lower lip, as if she had something to say, but she didn't dare to say it.

"Pothos, if you have something to say, say it. She took the initiative to ask Luthos.

Luluo raised her head, only glanced at her, and immediately lowered her head again, and said timidly: "Luluo feels that the identity of the two ladies is different. The pothos voluntarily followed the master back to the house to serve the slaves. The two ladies were the concubines bought by the master, and the lord never told the two ladies to work. ”

"Oh, then, do you think you're inferior to them?"

"Yes. ”

"Then why are you still so wronged?"

The pothos was stunned for a moment, and suddenly raised her eyes and looked at her again. Although she was smiling at the pothos, there was some kind of dangerous information flashing in her eyes, which made the pothos secretly frightened.

She hadn't noticed it earlier. There was such a fuss today, but she found out. The pothos came back with Ying Hao in a hurry, but in fact, the careful thinking was more complicated than the yellow bird and the cuckoo.

"I repeat, the three of you are the same. Because of the pothos's performance, she also dispelled the attention of the person who originally came back to the second floor, and planned to keep the oriole and cuckoo for a while longer.

"Tell me, are you three maids or concubines?" she asked with a look of displeasure or anger.

Huang Li and Du Juan looked at her face, then at each other, and finally at the pothos with some complicated resentment. The two didn't speak, waiting for the pothos to make a statement. None of them were willing to give up their status as concubines.

She also looked at the pothos again, waiting for the pothos to make a statement.

The green pothos hesitated for a long time, and finally tears flashed faintly in her eyes, as if she was forced, and said in a trembling voice, "Back to the princess, I ...... All three of us are concubines. ”

"Okay, then from today onwards, you don't have to wait in this study anymore. With that, she brushed her sleeves and left the study.

As a result, the pothos disappointed her in the end.

When she returned to her room, she couldn't help but complain to Pear and Plum: "Pothos wasn't like this before. ”

Pear and Plum realized at this time, and asked in surprise, "Princess, you have known them before?"

"Didn't I tell you yesterday? When I first arrived in Chilin City, I once sang behind the scenes in a Meihong Mansion. The three of them were the girls I was so popular at the time. ”

"Ahh Pear and Plum glanced at each other, and the latter exclaimed, immediately smiled, and said, "Now the slave and maid will understand everything." I think that the master will buy them back, and it's not all because of you, master. Master, do you know that after you left, Ye Zeng always imitated the song you played in the palace alone in the middle of the night...... Naqu ......"

"Don't leave me. Pear reminded.

"Oh! After the master bought the three of them back, he also asked them to sing. But he only listened to them once, and never called them again. Meizi said, her face so unhappy.

"Ahh

Yes, the three of them will be bought back by Ying Hao, and they all owe it to her at the beginning. Now, she is lifting a stone and shooting herself in the foot, and she has to find a way to deal with the three of them safely. drove the three of them out of the house directly, and she didn't have such a ruthless heart, after all, she knew each other. Originally, she saw that the pothos was well-behaved, so she only thought about arranging a place for the yellow bird and the cuckoo to live before sending the people away, and then slowly looking for a good mother-in-law for the pothos. Nowadays, pothos is also unstoppable.

In contrast, I'm afraid that among the three, the pothos will be the one that will give her a headache. She decided to keep the oriole and cuckoo first.

Just now in the study, she saw the green pothos giving hot tea to the two, and she had already guessed it. The two of them deliberately squeezed the pothos, just because the pothos had to take the initiative to say in front of her that she was just a maid. In this way, the identities of the other two are also very embarrassing.

She was also a brain fever for a while, and wanted to hold grievances for the pothos, so she took the opportunity to send away the yellow bird and the cuckoo directly, but she thought that the pothos played such a scene in front of her. Pothos has really changed. How did it come to this?

"Princess, why do you feel so disappointed in that pothos?" asked Pear very keenly. She and Meizi originally liked the pothos. I feel that the pothos has a calm temperament, and in addition to taking care of the study on weekdays, I have never had trouble in the house. Just now, they all felt aggrieved for the pothos. They don't understand why the princess seems to have a bigger opinion of pothos in the end.

"Well—" she sighed again, then shook her head, not going to go on with the two girls, and finally said, "Let's take a look at it first." ”
