Chapter 45: Rules and Manners (6)
How did she provoke him again? I didn't see anyone for three days, and I was so angry when we met. Even if it's hot in summer, there's no reason to have to come to her side to put out the fire, right?
"Master, can you let the concubine and the two slaves get up first? She felt sorry for the pears and plums, so she had to remind them out loud.
The fourth prince shook his head, "Yes." A reply counts as an answer. Pear and Plum didn't dare to get up yet, and only dared to follow when she straightened up.
"You two go down first. The fourth prince instructed Pear and Plum.
Pear and Meizi looked at her, saw her nodding, and then answered, "Yes." Before going out, he closed the door of the room, and he didn't go far, just outside the door.
"Hmph!" The fourth prince snorted coldly again, and while sitting at the table, he sneered: "The maid in your house has such a big face. ”
"The two of them are timid, and the master is not angry and arrogant, which has made them awe-inspired, honestly afraid, and the reaction is slower, but there is no disrespect for the master. She pondered for a moment, and did not also sit down at the table, but just stood in front of the fourth prince to reply.
"Oh, the master doesn't seem to be angry, and the strange master scared those two maids?" the fourth prince felt ridiculed by her, and just now he felt that his anger was exuding from him. She said this, but she was accusing him of going to her room for no reason to lose his temper, but her words gave him enough face to find fault with. In the end, the four princes only held back such a sentence: "If the lord is really so majestic, why are you not afraid?"
"How can you blame the master? said that the two of them were timid. She said unhurriedly, "The concubine is not afraid, but I have learned a lot of rules from the two grandmothers today, and I know how to do everything without being surprised." ”
"Don't be surprised" is the art of war, but there are indeed such rules in the palace, don't be surprised, if you accidentally disturb the holy driving, the crime can be big or small. His eyes narrowed and he smirked. If he wanted to investigate, those two maids did not "not be surprised", and he could not punish her, so he could also use those two maids to cut them. But...... That's it. Her words reminded him, and he remembered the purpose of his visit, and asked, "So, have you behaved well in front of the two grandmothers today?"
"The concubine is stupid. ”
"Is that a bad performance?"
"Would you like to hear what rules the concubine learned from the two grandmothers today?"
"Tell me. ”
She told the four princes one by one the rules of sitting around the banquet and the rules of sitting and walking in the palace that the two grandmothers taught her and Chen Jiaoer today.
After hearing this, the fourth prince was silent for a moment, and actually said, "Well, you learn quickly." Did you pass all three?"
She didn't know, she didn't want the two grandmothers to teach the new palace maids in the palace, and it would take more than a month just to stand and walk. This rule has always been taught first. Today, it was she who took the initiative, and the two grandmothers first taught the rules of the banquet.
She thought about it, and said honestly: "I said that the concubine is stupid, I only studied for half a day, and the two grandmothers in the afternoon wanted to settle themselves, and before leaving, they didn't say anything like passing the concubine's body, I'm afraid that the concubine's body has not passed the three things." ”
The fourth prince nodded again, and unexpectedly seemed to praise: "You are also honest." Come and sit down and talk. ”
She decided to receive this compliment, and replied while taking her seat: "Thank you for your compliment." ”
The fourth prince was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect her to be so honest and unpolite, and he did say something to praise her, so he couldn't help but feel a little funny, his expression softened, and he continued to ask: "Then you will tell the master honestly, how long will it take to learn the rules?"
"The concubine is stupid and doesn't know how many rules she has to learn. The two grandmothers only said today that they would stay in the mansion until the concubine learned all the rules before returning to the palace to resume her life. The concubine's body is also uncharted, and it is difficult to estimate how much time it will take. ”
"Okay. As long as you study carefully, the master will not be difficult for you. Send a maid to ask you about your progress in the near future. "The fourth prince is unprecedentedly good at talking.
"Thank you for your compassion. But she felt that when the fourth prince came to her house once, he wouldn't just come to gossip with her, right?
"Please drink tea. Seeing that the fourth prince stared at her without speaking, she reacted and hurriedly got up and poured a cup of tea for the fourth prince.
The fourth prince drank the cup of tea, frowned, how could it be cold? But soon his brows spread, and he was silent for a moment before he asked with an uncertain expression: "You have been married for three days, what do you think in your heart?"
The fourth prince's question was abrupt and unclear, and she didn't know how to answer for a while. Seeing that the fourth prince's expression was ordinary now, but the previous frown made her have to think about it more. She chose to remain silent for the first time.
"You once said you didn't want to marry me. The fourth prince prompted.
She understood, didn't think much about it, and immediately looked directly into the eyes of the fourth prince and replied: "Since you are married to the master, you don't have two hearts." I know that I don't like my lord, but I just look forward to respecting my lord like a guest. If the master can be tolerant of the concubine, it will be better to allow the concubine to be freer. ”
"Don't have two hearts, respect each other like a guest?" the fourth prince repeated her words, suddenly smiled, and asked, "You want me to give you more freedom, what kind of freedom law is it?"
"I don't ask for much for a concubine. I just look forward to occasionally being able to go out of the house and relax. ”
"That's easy to say. The fourth prince reached out and took off a tag from his waist, threw it to her casually and said, "You just want to go out of the house to go shopping, you want to go at any time, take your two maids, and go." If you want to go farther, you can go to the mountain temple outside the city, but Ming'er will send you a few more maids and servants, and you can bring more people. ”
"Thank you. She looked at the waist card of the four princes in her hand, with a jade texture, and only "four" was engraved on it. I vaguely guessed that the four princes were deliberately wearing this waist card today, and they were going to give her the freedom to go out of the house at any time? The four princes were currying favor with her? She was very useful, and smiled brightly at the four princes.
"Ahem!cough!" The fourth prince really intended to use this waist card to please her, and said good things to her, but he was a little uncomfortable, and picked up the teacup to cover up, forgetting that the tea in the cup was cold, and he was even more coldly dazzled by the light in her smiling eyes, and choked a few times.
She hurriedly got up and patted the back of the fourth prince. After the fourth prince eased up, he waved his hand. She sat down again and took the initiative to ask: "The master treats the concubine so well, I don't know how to repay the concubine?" As long as she can, she helps him.
The fourth prince said, "The master will come to your room for the night tonight." After saying that, the four princes immediately got up and left.
……
"What?!" she reacted for a long time, and hurriedly chased out, but the figure of the fourth prince was gone.
