Chapter 17 Whatever Happens
"Miss Cheng, you eat slowly, it's not enough for the kitchen, don't choke. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
In Yuxiu Pavilion, Cheng Jinzhi was gnawing on the chicken leg with his left hand, and kept picking up the vegetables and sending them to his mouth with his right hand, his cheeks had been stuffed into a ball, but he was still coveting the plate of jujube paste cake that had just been sent to the table, and the maid on the side was stunned, and hurriedly served her tea and water.
It wasn't until the five bowls of rice were eaten that all the plates were empty, so clean that there was not even any residue left, that Cheng Jinzhi took a deep breath and burped loudly, and left the table satisfied.
Carrying the charges of a condemned prisoner and coming out of the prison unkempt, Cheng Jinzhi was still immersed in the pain of love and the fear of death. Now that I have freshened up, changed into beautiful clothes, and eaten and filled my stomach, my mood has improved a lot.
"Miss Cheng, you... Have you eaten enough?"
Looking at the surprised expressions of the two maids beside him, Cheng Jinzhi realized that they were frightened by the "bold" image of his previous feast, so he embarrassedly squeezed out a smile: "I'm full, thank you." Because I haven't eaten in a long time, I'm in a bit of a hurry, so I scared you, right?"
The two maids looked at each other when they heard this, but they were also clever, and hurriedly said: "How can it be, it is a blessing to be able to eat, His Royal Highness specially instructed us to prepare more food for Miss, and it would be great if Miss could eat it all." ”
"I can't see that this Yan Wang is quite caring. ”
Cheng Jinzhi muttered silently in his heart, and stopped his gaze on the two maids. I saw that these two people were the same age as themselves, one was slightly fatter, the other was slightly thin, and they were born with dexterous signs, and they were the type that pleased the master.
"By the way, what do you call you?"
"The slave maid's name is Taxue, her name is Xunmei, and we are specially assigned by His Highness to serve Miss You. ”
"Treading the snow to find plums? That's a good name, it's called smooth. ”
Cheng Jinzhi nodded approvingly, thinking that his identity was the same as that of a maid when he was in Cheng Mansion, but now he was being served by others, and he was really unaccustomed to it for a while.
"Miss Cheng, if you have anything to do in the future, just tell us, don't be polite. ”
"Well... Okay, but you don't have to be too restrained in front of me, don't treat me as a master, what do you say, relax and relax. ”
Treading the snow and looking for plum heard Cheng Jinzhi say this, his face suddenly showed joy, after all, everyone is afraid of encountering a tricky and difficult master, and Cheng Jinzhi himself has succumbed to be a servant, and he has a deep understanding of this.
When he came back to his senses, he saw that the two of them were staring at him curiously, as if they were looking for something, and couldn't help but wonder: "That... Is there anything on my face?"
"No, no, although we as subordinates shouldn't talk about the master behind our backs, but it's the first time that the slaves and maids have seen His Royal Highness King Yan bring a woman back, so... So it's inevitable to be curious. ”
"That's it......" Cheng Jinzhi's eyes rolled, and he suddenly pretended to be mysteriously curious, "Then he... Have you ever brought a man back?"
Treading Xue was honest, and he didn't hear the deep meaning of Cheng Jinzhi's words, so he replied: "Hmm... His Royal Highness is relatively lonely, and in addition to the princes and nobles who have a good relationship, he usually doesn't interact with people very much, but occasionally he will invite a few friends of the same sex to come over to catch up. ”
"Same-sex friends. Cheng Jinzhi muttered thoughtfully, and said with a wicked smile, "Then there is really no woman around your Highness?"
Treading Xue Xunmei glanced at each other and showed a meaningful smile: "Now I have it." ”
"Now?"
"Yes, isn't there Miss Cheng now?"
Cheng Jinzhi was stunned for a moment, then realized that they had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained angrily: "That, it's not what you think, I don't know your Highness at all, there is a secret in this......"
Seeing that although he nodded again and again, Cheng Jinzhi knew that he was speechless, so he could only sigh and change his color: "Forget it, I can't say it clearly for a while, anyway, it's really not what you think." Your Highness has a paralyzed face all day long, cold, who can stand it. ”
"Miss Cheng, you are the only one who dares to say that, His Royal Highness King Yan. Xun Mei Ren smiled, "Actually, our Royal Highness is not as terrible as you said, although he is usually a little serious, but he is actually a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he is also very good to us subordinates." ”
"Although His Royal Highness looks like a person who is not close to people on the surface, but after getting along for a long time, you will find that he is actually a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, for friends and relatives, he has always been generous and righteous, and he has never been willing to do anything. ”
Gu Hanqing's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Cheng Jinzhi's eyes trembled, and his heart was already turning a thousand times.
"By the way, a few days ago, did any of your Highness's friends go to the mansion to look for him?"
"A few days ago," Taxue recalled, "Oh, the slave remembered that there was a friend of His Highness who came to His Highness, and it seemed that it was the one who had a good personal relationship with His Highness, and had just married the eldest lady of the Yasukuni Mansion a few days ago. ”
The slave also remembered that he seemed to be surnamed Gu, and he looked like a talent. At this time, Xunmei also interjected, "But he seemed to be in a bad mood that day, and he didn't have much energy, and he didn't look like he had just been married." ”
"It's him, it's really him......"
Cheng Jinzhi muttered to herself, and the low mood that she had finally gotten rid of for a while returned to her heart, making her suddenly silent when she was in high spirits.
"Miss Cheng, Miss Cheng, are you okay?"
Treading the snow and looking for Mei saw Cheng Jinzhi's face change suddenly, he hurriedly called her a few times while worried.
"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, you guys go and leave me alone, I want to rest for a while. ”
Cheng Jinzhi reluctantly smiled, but he had no intention of laughing with them anymore.
Taxue and Xunmei naturally felt the change in her mood, and while they were curious, they hurriedly responded: "Then Miss Cheng, you have a good rest, and call us if you have something." ”
After speaking, he respectfully closed the door and withdrew.
Seeing that Treading Snow and Xunmei had left, Cheng Jinzhi suddenly looked like a deflated ball, and his whole person softened.
Sure enough, she couldn't hear any news about Gu Hanqing, even if it was just a little, it was enough to make her heart tremble.
At this moment, she is in this exquisite and magnificent house, but she would rather live in the dilapidated and narrow room in the backyard of Chengfu, even if that life is hard, simple and spotless, but compared to the winds and waves, ups and downs experienced in the past few days, mediocrity is also a blessing.
And for the person you admire, even if you just look at it from a distance and say a few words quietly, it is better than looking at each other like now, and the sky is separated.
"Maybe we really don't have fate, it's because I'm too greedy and have too many extravagant hopes. ”
Cheng Jinzhi smiled bitterly to himself, stretched out his arms and pressed down against the bed.
"I don't want to think about it, let me sleep well, and when I wake up, I will still be the same Cheng Jinzhi who couldn't be beaten before!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she buried her head in the bed, and after a while, there was a faint snoring.
She was indeed tired, and even she didn't expect that she would sleep for three days and three nights with her eyes closed.
