Chapter 46: What to Eat at Night
A few days passed, Xia Guang still didn't see Xuanyuan Qingshui as scheduled, and originally heard that night Shengge would enter the palace, but also because Xuanyuan Qingshui said that he forcibly kept her in the palace, so he sued the emperor, and the emperor specially summoned him into the palace to ask about the matter in detail, and also instructed Yeshengge to take Xuanyuan Qingshui and them into the palace to intersect with her that day, but there was no news at all until now.
In fact, they can't blame Xuanyuan Qingshui, they are really unlucky recently, at first because Ji Qingsha quarreled with someone when he went to the Strange Pavilion to look for crickets, then Qinglong was injured in the execution of the task, and then Ji Bangsha was not feeling well in the past few days, so he repeatedly delayed the time to visit the mansion.
Although the summer sun does not directly shine on people's bodies, the summer light still feels hot, and that heat comes from within. She is very strange, obviously she wears the same clothes as others, and she has never seen others as afraid of heat as her, sometimes she wants to take off all the clothes on her body, only wear a belly pocket, of course, this kind of behavior, she just thinks about it in her heart. Is it because of the poisoning on your body?
Xia Guang was eating the chilled watermelon sent by Yesheng Song while spitting out watermelon seeds.
Cuiliu, who was standing behind her, was very disgusted by her behavior. She didn't know why the prince was so good to her, half of the melons and fruits in the house were rewarded by the one from the Suxue Courtyard, and the other half was given to the one from the Xixue Courtyard. The one in the Xue Yuan is also the owner of this place, how can she be treated like this by a lowly painter. When she was assigned to her, she was still very excited, thinking that she was serving some big person, and the longer she got along, the more she got to know her, and in the end, she even felt that this person was vulgar. But she didn't want to think about it, she was just a maid, and the maid's job was to take care of others, where did she get so many ideas.
Seeing that Xia Guang finished eating, Cuiliu took a handkerchief from Cuiyu and handed it to Xia Guang, and then said, "Miss Xia Guang is bored?"
Xia Guang took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth first, and then wiped her hands, and knew what she wanted to say as soon as she heard Cuiliu speak. Although she was a little impatient to listen, it was not good to show her face directly, after all, she was just a nominal guest.
Xia Guang smiled at Cuiliu and handed the dirty handkerchief to her.
Cuiliu, who took the veil, handed the veil to Cuiyu again, and then continued: "Recently, the prince has been going to Suxue Courtyard more and more often, and this morning he asked the princess to accompany him into the palace. ”
Yes, Cuiliu has been talking in her ear about Yesheng Song and the princess of his family, and Xia Guang doesn't need to leave Xixue Courtyard to know the whereabouts of these two people well.
For example, what did the princess get today, what did people go out to buy, where was the prince yesterday, and what did he do.
Xia Guang always felt that Cuiliu actually had something to say when she said these words. Anyway, listening to Cuiliu say this, she was uncomfortable, originally because of the previous accident, she didn't want to know about the Xue Courtyard side, but Cuiliu always had a way to make her memory more profound. What the hell is this going on, she Xia Guang has nothing to do with Yesheng Ge, it's just that she is the person who nominally said that she will take care of him for three months, how can she listen to Cuiliu's tone as if she wants her to make some trouble.
Seeing that Cuiliu still wanted to say something, Xia Guang hurriedly pointed to the messy fruit core on the table, pretending not to understand her words, and said, "Cuiliu, you will be troubled to clean up these things." ”
Then he hooked his finger to Cuiyu, "You go back to the house with me and fan me." ”
Cuiyu cautiously looked at Cuiliu, who was pale, and finally decided to follow Xia Guang obediently.
According to Cuiyu's observation, she found that Miss Xia Guang was very afraid of heat, and she often wanted to roll up her sleeves, but often stopped again, probably because of the relationship between secular etiquette and religion (that was because at that time, Xia Guang was afraid of the ink on her wrist);
Xia Guang entered the house, and climbed up to the collapse by the window, now that the time has passed, the sun is not so big, and the collapse is also a lot colder, so when I first go to sleep, Xia Guang is still very comfortable.
Cuiyu took a large fan and dutifully fanned her on the side.
"Cuiyu, aren't you hot?" Xia Guang chatted boredly.
"Not as afraid of heat as Miss Xiaguang. Cuiyu chuckled, and then said in a very small voice.
"Oh, I don't know why I'm so afraid of heat, maybe I'm more heaty. She turned to her side, holding her head and talking to Cuiyu.
When Xia Guang turned sideways, a bag fell on the collapse, and Cuiyu kept fanning her, so when it fell, she saw it.
"Miss Xia, your bag has dropped. Cuiyu said, pointing to the place where the bag fell.
Xia Guang looked at the place she was pointing and found that it was the bag she was carrying, she picked it up, then put it in her hand and looked at it, remembering that she hadn't paid attention to the contents for a long time, so she planned to take them out and take a look.
Xia Guang didn't shy away from suspicion, and directly poured the contents on the bed in front of Cuiyu.
There were a few more objects on the bed at once. A wooden knife, not very finely done, but polished very smooth, not rough to the touch, a black token, the size of a thumb, I can't tell what material it is made of, tied by a black rope, and some jade pieces scattered around the knife and token, if put together, it should be something.
When Cuiyu saw the black token, a gleam flashed in her eyes, and she pretended not to care and asked, "Miss Xia, these things don't seem to be very valuable, how can you collect them so preciously." Cuiyu had seen this bag since she had served her, and she never left her, so she naturally thought that there were some valuable items in it, but she didn't expect that today's pouring out would be these things that were given to others and would not be asked for by others.
Xia Guang was a little surprised, Cuiyu has always been very well-behaved on weekdays, and rarely takes the initiative to ask her about something, why is it so abnormal today, but after thinking about it again, maybe because Cuiliu is not by her side, so she is also a lot bolder.
Xia Guang picked up the wooden knife and a piece of jade, looked at it carefully, and then said nostalgically: "These things have been around since I can remember, so they are naturally very precious things to me. ”
When Cui Yu saw her expression, she knew that these things meant a lot to her, but she still couldn't help but point to the black token and innocently asked, "Is this thing too?"
Xia Guang followed the place and saw the black token, and then she remembered the girl she had saved in the inn in Chu Yuncheng before, she thought it was something special at the time, and she received it in the bag, but until now, the girl has not looked for her, it seems that this thing is not a big thing for that girl.
She picked up the token, "I saved a girl who left this thing, and I thought it was something very important, so I took it away." Although she had been staring at the token, she was secretly observing Cuiyu's every move. Although the girl didn't come to ask for it, Cuiyu's words and deeds today really made her feel suspicious.
Cui Yu felt that her words and deeds just now were a little reckless, and hurriedly asked innocently, "That girl didn't come to you to ask for it?"
Xia Guang smiled, "Maybe she doesn't think this thing is too important, or maybe she hasn't had a chance to ask me for it, after all, I'm in this palace now." In the end, she stared at Cuiyu for a moment. This girl is either really innocent and innocent, or she is definitely a master of acting.
Cuiyu, who was staring at her, did not take her eyes away, kept staring at her innocent eyes, and said proudly: "Also, the guards of our palace are very powerful." ”
Hearing her say this, Xia Guang instantly smiled, she took the initiative to look away, and then put those things back into the bag. casually asked, "What do you eat at night?"
Cuiyu's heart sank, she suddenly found that she couldn't keep up with Xia Guang's train of thought, could it be that she found something?
Xia Guang thought to himself that he was really worried, just a maid, is it worth being so suspicious and suspicious, it seems that he has been too idle these days, and he is always thinking nonsense.
