185 The request of a concubine
Xiao Yao got up for a lunch break, and He Yu was still asleep, breathing steadily.
I was really tired and ruthless, gently stroking He Yu's cheeks, and now Xiao Yao didn't want to get up. looked at He Yu's sleeping face fixedly, as if he couldn't see enough.
But, no matter how she didn't want to, it was time for her to get up. After all, there are still a bunch of miscellaneous things waiting for her to take care of at home, after He Yu left, Xiao Yao found that the family business of the entire Xuanping Mansion was not only the trivial things she saw in the mansion before, the Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing had to be taken care of, and even He Yu actually had a house and land in Jiangnan, which was also for her to take care of.
In the past, He Yu did all these things by himself, but now that He Yu is on the expedition, these things are now handed over to Xiao Yao. From being shocked at the beginning to not being overwhelmed, and now becoming a familiar hand, Xiao Yao is also slowly groping.
Now there are several mansions and shops under the Xuanping Palace, and Xiao Yao's business is also clear.
However, in fact, Xiao Yao also knows that in fact, He Yu still has some things on hand that she has not shown her, although Xiao Yao is curious, but she will definitely not get involved, since ancient times, cases of curiosity killing people are not uncommon, since He Yu chose not to show her, it must be reasonable, then just wait until the day when He Yu is willing to give it to her, why bother to set foot on it yourself, it is not a good thing to violate each other's taboos.
got up lightly, didn't call anyone, and packed up and went out.
When Xiao Yao went out, Yunzhu, who was guarding outside, was startled, "Why didn't the master call the slave and maid to go in and wait?" ”
Stretching out her fingers, Xiao Yao made a silent movement and whispered, "The prince is still asleep." I didn't want to wake him up, so I didn't call anyone to serve him. When Yun Zhu saw Xiao Yao's gesture, he immediately closed his mouth and didn't dare to speak loudly again. Xiao Yao pointed to the inside of the room and said to Yun Yue, "When the prince wakes up, I will wait for the prince to wash up." I'll go to the backyard and have a look. ”
"Yes." Yunyue bent her knees in response. Xiao Yao nodded. With Yunzhu, he walked to the backyard.
But she didn't expect to encounter a "roadblock" on the way, Xiao Yao stared at the woman kneeling in front of her, she almost forgot that there was such a woman in her yard. It's just because this woman is too quiet in the backyard.
That's right, this woman is Cheng Yuezhu.
"The slave has seen the princess." Cheng Yuezhu knelt on the ground, hanging her head, unable to see her expression clearly.
Xiao Yao took a step back. Yun Zhu hurriedly supported his master, and Xiao Yao stood still. He said, "What are you doing here?" ”
"The slave maid has no intention of offending the princess, but there is something to ask for today, hoping that the prince and the princess will allow the slave and maid." Orange Moon's words are neither humble nor arrogant. It didn't look like the Cheng Yuezhu she had seen before.
However, then again, the previous Cheng Yuezhu Xiao Yao can't remember what it was.
After all, I have been hanging people in the backyard for so many years. On weekdays, basically except for the change of seasons, there will be no slave who deliberately mentions this person so blindly. Now this man is here to block her way. Presumably just waiting here, Cheng Yuezhu knew that He Yu and He Ziyao were back home today, and now that they have taken care of the prince's side, they must go to the backyard to see the children.
This woman can actually ponder, but marrying He Yu is considered to be marrying the wrong person.
Xiao Yao sighed in her heart and stood still, "Then what do you want?" ”
"It's really hard to say this here, why don't you go to the slave's courtyard and listen to it?" Cheng Yuezhu looked around and seemed a little embarrassed.
But as soon as he said this, Yun Zhu next to him immediately became vigilant, and his whole body stood up, Xiao Yao also squinted her eyes and stared at Cheng Yuezhu, her voice couldn't help but be a little cold, "Is there anything you can't say in this place?" ”
"This ...... The slave maid is really embarrassed......" Cheng Yuezhu couldn't help but smile bitterly when she saw Yunyue and a group of servants staring at her vigilantly.
Seeing her helpless smile, Xiao Yao felt that it might be that Cheng Yuezhu really had something to say, and smiled slightly, "That's it, this princess is just going to the children's yard, why don't we go there to talk?" ”
When Cheng Yuezhu heard this, she raised her head and said with a smile, "Everything can be arranged by the princess." ”
"Okay."
After saying this, Xiao Yao turned his head and gave Yun Zhu a look, and Yun Zhu immediately found the credible Yun Lan next to him and explained a few words. Yun Lan nodded after hearing this, and immediately went to the east backyard from another shortcut.
Cheng Yuezhu naturally saw all this, but she didn't say anything, just bit her lip, and then immediately showed a relieved look. Xiao Yao naturally did not shy away from Cheng Yuezhu when she did all this, and now in this Xuanping Palace, except for He Yu, Xiao Yao has the final say, and the purpose of doing this is to deter Cheng Yuezhu.
As for Cheng Yuezhu's actions and feet on food, which often happens in TV dramas, it is simply impossible.
First of all, the children's tea sets and other close things are all watched by Yun Bi herself, and the three meals a day are all from the kitchen of the middle courtyard, even if Cheng Yuezhu has the ability, it is impossible to reach out to the middle courtyard.
What's more, she is not favored at all.
When I arrived at the east backyard, I saw that all the people were waiting solemnly, Xiao Yao was satisfied, and Yun Bi came out to greet her and said, "I've seen the princess." ”
"Get up."
"Back to the princess, the little masters haven't gotten up for a nap yet." Yun Bi replied with a blank look.
"It's okay," Xiao Yao waved her hand, "I didn't plan to come over so early, but I didn't expect to meet Mrs. Cheng in the small garden, so let's find a quiet room, and I will have a good chat with Mrs. Cheng, which can be regarded as passing the time." ”
"Yes." Yun Bi responded, and left in a hurry, making a look of going to prepare.
Cheng Yuezhu bent her knees and said to Xiao Yao, "Slave and maid, thank you princess for your love." ”
Xiao Yao smiled silently, obviously she didn't really want to talk too much now. Cheng Yuezhu didn't respond, nor was she angry, she stood up and honestly stepped aside to stand.
Soon Yun Bi came over and said that the house was ready, and asked the princess to come over. Cheng Yuezhu's name was not mentioned throughout the whole process, but this Cheng Yuezhu was also calm, and her face did not even change during the whole process.
But Xiao Yao couldn't help but really think a little higher about this woman, and said in her heart. If this woman is not her family's concubine, maybe the two can really become good friends.
Entering the house, Xiao Yao sat on the main seat, Cheng Yuezhu sat on the bottom, and the maid quickly served tea.
Cheng Yuezhu looked at the tea, and her heart also realized that the prince really loved this princess, and this fruit tea was generally boiled and drunk by the female relatives themselves. And now this one doesn't have to look at anyone's face. As long as she is there, she will have fruit tea or flower tea.
However, Cheng Yuezhu herself doesn't like to drink this sweet and sour tea. Naturally, I don't plan to drink it.
Xiao Yao doesn't care if she likes it or not, as long as she likes it, she took a sip of the tea made of peaches and said. "Anyway, what do you want to tell me?"
Cheng Yuezhu did not speak. Just looked around. Xiao Yao understood and said to the others, "You all go down." ”
"Master......" Yunzhu is naturally worried. Xiao Yao shook her head, "It's okay." You are all guarding the door, what can happen, go out. ”
That's what their own masters say. What else could Yun Zhu say, he could only retreat according to his words.
In less than a moment. The two of them were left in the whole room, Xiao Yao leaned back in the chair, "Now, what do you want to say, you can say it." ”
Because Cheng Yuezhu was sitting under Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao obviously saw Cheng Yuezhu's eyelashes trembling, as if she was struggling with something, and then as if she had made a big determination, she got up and knelt in front of Xiao Yao, and said, "I...... I would like to ask the prince and the princess to let me out of the palace. ”
"What?!" Hearing this, Xiao Yao instantly put away her lazy look, sat up straight, and looked at Cheng Yuezhu seriously, "Do you mean to let the prince take a leave of absence from you?" ”
Cheng Yuezhu's breathing was a little short, and she said softly, "The princess also knows that a few days ago, I had a serious illness, and I got better not long ago. This illness made me think about a lot of things, the prince in this mansion will never be able to pamper me, rather than spend my whole life here, it is better to simply ask the princess and princess to let me out, so that I can still do some things, at least worthy of myself. ”
Sick? Transsexuality? Hiss...... Why does this plot sound so familiar?
Xiao Yao stared at the woman in front of her, and an idea slowly rose in her heart, but she didn't say it, and she didn't plan to say it, she just played with the cup in her hand and said slowly, "Then have you ever thought that there is only one concubine left in my mansion, the prince has just won the victory, if you are given a leave of absence at this time, people outside will say that our Xuanping Mansion is intolerant, and the reputation of Xuanping Mansion is not good." "Second, her Xiao Yao's own reputation is not good.
"I know," Cheng Yuezhu said anxiously, such a title of "I" and "I" made Xiao Yao more sure of her guess, she was still silent, listening to Cheng Yuezhu herself, "That's why I said that let the princess retreat, and I can't let others know about it." ”
"Hmm." is still a brain, Xiao Yao nodded, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
"I thought, if the prince and the princess let me out first, the concubine will not be able to leave the house anyway, and in another year and a half, it will be said that I will die of illness." Cheng Yuezhu said her thoughts word by word.
Indeed, a concubine, no one will pay too much attention, and the concubine will not go out of the house. Xiao Yao thought for a while, nodded, and then asked, "Then ...... your parents?"
Speaking of this, Cheng Yuezhu hesitated for a moment before saying, "My family has several daughters, since I am married to the prince, it is the water that is spilled, and for so many years, my family has not had any greetings, the princess can be imagined." ”
Xiao Yao nodded, but she didn't agree immediately, just said, "That's it, I can't be the master of this matter, I'll tell you after I go back and discuss it with the prince." ”
Hearing this, Cheng Yuezhu knew that this was already a drama, the prince spoiled the princess This is something that the whole capital knows, as long as the princess agrees to the affairs of this inner house, then this matter must have been half successful, Cheng Yuezhu immediately nodded, "Okay, then bother the princess." ”
Xiao Yao waved her hand, "Okay, then you can go back first." I'll go back and discuss with the prince first. ”
"Yes."
However, even if this is the case, after this matter is discussed, Xiao Yao still has to go out first before Cheng Yuezhu can go out after him, so he retreats.
Xiao Yao looked at the back of Cheng Yuezhu leaving, stared at it for a long time, and then sighed, "It's also a poor person." ”
The other minions looked at each other, not understanding why the princess sighed so much, but if they sympathized with other people, the minions naturally couldn't talk casually, if they followed the master's words, didn't it mean that the princess favored the palace alone, and was a fierce woman who dominated the prince? But if you say it in the opposite direction, wouldn't it seem that you are a slave who is cold and unsympathetic. Who would dare to use such a minion?
So at this time, the best thing to do is not to speak.
Xiao Yao sighed, turned around and asked, "Ziyao, are they awake?" ”
"Back to the master, I've woken up, and the little masters are actually in the study at this time!" Yun Bi said with a smile.
"Oh, that Ziyao hasn't rested for long, isn't he tired?" Thinking that his prince was still asleep in bed, Ziyao began to go to the study to warm his books, is this the age difference?
No, her family He Yu is only twenty-five or sixteen this year, according to modern standards, that's a young man, can't this hold on?
However, Xiao Yao also forgot that He Yu, as the commander of the entire army, consumed many times more mental energy and brain power than He Ziyao, so he was naturally more tired. He Ziyao purely followed He Yu to the battlefield for a long time, neither had to follow the soldiers to the front line to fight, nor did he have to balance the contradictions of the generals within the army, let alone make those decisions that decided the victory or defeat with one order at every turn, and naturally recovered faster.
When Xiao Yao made a joke about He Yu in the evening, he was really educated by King Xuanping, and he was educated in all kinds of fancy ways.
However, this is also a matter later, at this time, Xiao Yao heard that the children were in the study, so she raised her feet and walked to the study, and when she walked into the study, it was quite quiet. This study is a four-bay room, symmetrical, the middle is the hall room, to be precise, five rooms, the layout of each room is the same, a large desk, behind is a row of shelves, used to put books or other things, there are three lamps on both sides and in front of the desk, the pen and ink inkstone, pen holder and paperweight on the right side of the desk, and a roll of freshly selected rice paper on the right.
The room was quiet, no children were talking, they were all writing and painting quietly with their heads down.
Xiao Yao stood in the room and looked around at the children on both sides, and each of the children at this moment looked like a beautiful son in Xiao Yao's eyes. (To be continued) (83 Chinese Net.)
