In the early morning of the next day, Dong Xiaoyou was "invited" to Wanchun Garden to accompany the princess to have refreshments and chat, she really didn't like this princess, but when she saw Bailing's embarrassed gaze, she felt that she couldn't help but go, after all, although Bailing was suspected of the princess's eyeliner, she worked very hard to take care of herself on weekdays, and she was even more active than Biluo, and she was also very efficient, worthy of being a woman from the palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Dong Xiaoyou always felt that people were polite to her, and she was really embarrassed not to give face to the princess.

Liu Ying looked at Dong Xiaoyou, who had come from the pavilion next to the pond in Wanchun Garden, with a smile on her face, and said to her with a smile, "Sister Rong, I heard that you like to eat this kind of bamboo leaf rice cake, and I specially asked my subordinates to prepare some more today." ”

Dong Xiaoyou saluted Liu Ying, staring at a plate of pastries on the small table in front of Liu Ying - a foodie after all.

Liu Ying seemed to be in a good mood this morning, took Dong Xiaoyou's hand and asked her about the family, Dong Xiaoyou thought about it, and felt that even if she didn't know what she said, the royal family would definitely go to investigate the Xu Mansion, so she abandoned her mother "Xue'er" at the door of the Xu Mansion, without any proof of identity, only a letter asking others to take care of it, and the letter only said that the baby girl's name was "Xue'er", and later the touching love with her father Xu Qian, As a result, she died of illness shortly after giving birth to herself (naturally concealing the true cause of Chen's death), leaving herself alone in Xu's mansion...... When Dong Xiaoyou finished saying these words, the princess was also embarrassed.

Not long after, one of Liu Ying's maids walked in and said, "Princess, Young Master Wang's concubine has come to visit you." ”

Liu Ying heard this, and waved her hand coldly: "Let that Zhang family come in." ”

Dong Xiaoyou saw this scene, and suddenly her heart jumped, she was too impressed by this, it seems that she is going to watch a good show of the princess bullying the concubine next, but the sad thing is that she was the target of the princess bullying in this play not long ago. It turned out that the princess didn't let herself come over just to talk about Xu Rong's life experience, it seemed that she wanted to embarrass this new concubine in front of Xu Rong, right?

Liu Ying didn't care about the expression on Dong Xiaoyou's face, but with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, she waited for Zhang Xiu'er to come in and meet her.

Soon that Zhang Xiu'er walked outside the pavilion under the leadership of the maid, she was wearing a pink round-necked embroidered lotus skirt today, her long hair was pulled into a smooth bun, and a few beads on her head looked neither vulgar nor shabby, it was really a very decent dress. She saluted, and her voice was tender: "Slave Zhang Xiu'er, I have seen the princess sister, the princess sister Wanfu." ”

Then, she bowed to Dong Xiaoyu again: "Xiu'er has seen Sister Rong, Sister Rong Jin An." ”

Dong Xiaoyou looked at her and admired in her heart: What a girl who knows etiquette, this is much better than how she behaved some time ago, and it is not easy for the princess to pick thorns now, so it can only be said in terms of time.

Sure enough, Liu Ying asked lightly: "Why did my sister come so late today?" You see, Hongu has already had refreshments with Sister Rong. ”

Here it comes! Dong Xiaoyou looked at all this with a little excitement, she was a bystander, so she naturally didn't have any worries and worries, but she felt that this child was only thirteen years old after all, too young, if the princess made her too much, she should still stand up and protect this underage girl.

Zhang Xiu'er knelt down, but straightened her waist, looked directly at Liu Ying with a pair of clear eyes, and said neatly: "The slave family knows that it is wrong, this morning the slave family first changed clothes for the husband, and then went to the front hall to pour tea for the lord and wife, and then came all the way to Wanchun Garden, but I didn't expect to make the princess sister wait for a long time, the slave family is at fault, please punish the sister." ”

Liu Ying got up with a smile, personally helped Zhang Xiu'er, and said softly: "Sister Xiu'er is so knowledgeable and courteous, Xiuwai Huizhong, she is really a good girl, changing clothes for Wang Lang is the husband for the sky, and this is the way of women; Pouring tea for the lord and wife is to respect the elders, which is filial piety; If there is any pickiness in this palace, then it should be the fault of this palace, where will it be the fault of Sister Xiu'er, come, Sister Xiu'er and this palace, and your sister Rong have tea together. Liu Ying said, then pulled Xiu'er aside and sat down, and personally selected a piece of bamboo leaf rice cake for her, Xiu'er naturally thanked her with a smile.

Dong Xiaoyou looked at this scene in surprise, on the one hand, Zhang Xiuer's words were indeed impeccable, and on the other hand, the princess's attitude also surprised her, where did the arrogance and indifference to herself go? She looked at the princess with some grievances, but found that the princess was also looking at her with a little dissatisfaction...... By the way, she answered too stupidly that day, no wonder the princess still looks down on herself when she thinks about it, sure enough, people want to compare, compared with Zhang Xiu'er, who is a little younger at this age, she is really stupid. This Xiu'er doesn't seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp, where do you need your own help?

Xiu'er took out two hand-woven sachets and gave them to the princess and Dong Xiaoyou: "A small gift is not a tribute, but every stitch and thread is sewn up by Xiu'er seriously, and I hope that Sister Princess and Sister Rong can accept it with a smile." ”

The princess accepted it with a smile, Dong Xiaoyou also nodded, and took the sachet, which was embroidered with silk brocade, and I had to admire that the embroidery was very good, and this Xiu'er was still good at female red at a young age.

The three of them sat together and chatted for a while, and Zhang Xiuer retired first under the pretext that she was going to visit several aunts of Master Wang.

After she left, Liu Ying looked at Xiu'er's departing back with a little meaning, and said softly: "Sister Rong, you should remember how this palace treated you when you first came to visit this palace, right?" ”

Dong Xiaoyou listened to it and thought: What "should be remembered"? The old lady will never forget it in her life! She smiled and said, "I remember, at that time, Rong'er was stupid and clumsy, annoyed the princess's sister, and was punished by her sister." ”

"Actually...... Bengong also wants to teach Xiu'er a lesson, but people just answer more appropriately than you, so Bengong can't do it. Besides, she is a distant relative of Mrs. Zhang in the palace, and beating her is equivalent to beating Mrs. Zhang. ”

Dong Xiaoyou was slightly surprised when she heard this, it turned out that not only Xiu'er behaved decently, but also Mrs. Zhang was the backer behind her? No wonder...... At the beginning, I didn't have a backer, and I couldn't speak, so it's strange if I wasn't beaten.

"Sister Rong, what do you think of Sister Xiu'er?"

She ...... She has good manners and elegant speech, and she is really a good woman. In fact, Dong Xiao's answer is: It really doesn't look like a thirteen-year-old child!

"Sister Rong, when you are alone with this palace, what do you still have to worry about? The strife in the inner courtyard of the palace, you have completely faded out, and this palace wants to listen to you tell the truth! Liu Ying said angrily, and her tone was a little higher.

"......" Dong Xiao thought about it, and felt that it was better to be honest with the princess in this regard, so he replied: "I'm afraid she's ...... It's a girl who has a lot of money in the city, but I'm afraid she will be a person with means......"

"Hmm." After hearing this, Liu Ying nodded, "Yes, her words and deeds are too perfect, just a thirteen-year-old yellow-haired girl, she is not flustered in front of this palace, and she has a good basis for advancing and retreating...... It seems that Mrs. Zhang has really found a good helper this time that should not be underestimated. ”

Dong Xiaoyou listened and couldn't help nodding, she was very nervous when she saw the princess as a future person in her twenties, but Xiu'er, a thirteen-year-old girl, behaved so perfectly, she was indeed a "master". Looking at the princess's serious expression, even if she is a princess, if she wants to continue for a long time in the palace, she still has to be cautious and take every step of the way, it is really hard for a girl like her who is only sixteen years old.

After Dong Xiaoyou said goodbye to the princess, he returned to Yixiang Garden, and asked Bai Ling to go out to find out about Mrs. Xiu'er, after all, Bai Ling was the maid next to the princess, and she was very good at winning over people, and she was better at talking than Biluo and Ginkgo. After a while, Bai Ling came back and said: "Mrs. Xiu'er not only visited all the elders in the family today, but also gave several elders her hand-woven sachets, purses, etc., and she also gave money to almost all the people in the mansion, saying that it was a meeting gift. Now the palace is full of praise for her conduct. ”

Dong Xiaoyou listened and sighed secretly: What a delicate little girl! It was her hand-woven items that were given to the princess, herself, and her husband, and the money that was used to reward the people, which was really clever. The subordinates only need to give money, and they will have a good impression of her; For characters like princesses, a little money will naturally not make them feel excited, but for the gifts she weaves by herself, they can make anyone smile and accept them, which will really buy people's hearts. Such a "little elf" followed Mrs. Zhang's nostrils to breathe, it seems that the princess has a chance to display her talent, and the princess is also leading a group of "human spirits" from the palace. Maybe he's an outsider now, which is exactly what he can't ask for, and if he fights with these ancient women, he will definitely die a miserable death.

Bai Ling looked at Dong Xiaoyou's admiring expression, and said disdainfully: "She, this girl, is doing this purely to set herself on fire, from the slave's point of view, she is really a stupid person, and she is not as wise as Miss." ”

"Me??" Dong Xiaoyou's face was incredible, in her opinion, Zhang Xiuer, who behaved imperceptibly, actually became a "stupid person" in Bailing's eyes? Bai Ling said that he was wise, is this flattery? Or is it a whisker?

"Miss, think about it, after you were taught a lesson by the princess last time, did the princess take the initiative to trouble you?"

Dong Xiaoyou squinted and thought for a while, and said, "...... Except for the things caused by Young Master Wang's nerves, there really isn't any. ”

"That's it, Miss, your attitude is the way to escape from the world, even if it is a princess or Mrs. Zhang, she will not take the initiative to make trouble for you and harm you, because you don't fight for anything." Bai Ling smiled and looked at Dong Xiaoyou, who was a little dazed: "Look at that Zhang Xiu'er again, she has only been sharp on the first day of coming, and she clearly wants to stand in opposition to the princess, with the slave's understanding of the princess, as long as she has a handle, the princess will definitely let her die without a place to be buried!" ”

Dong Xiaoyou heard this and guessed: Sure enough, Bailing also thought that he was that kind of ...... Anyway, now that the wood is in the boat, even if Dong Xiaoyou has a hundred mouths on his body, he can't justify it. But she still understands what Bailing means, it seems that Zhang Xiu'er is willing to be a pawn under Mrs. Zhang, she is such a transparent person, don't you understand, if she really wants to tear her face, Mrs. Zhang will definitely sacrifice her to keep the entire Wang family, and the reason for abandoning the car to protect the handsome still needs to be reminded by others? Anyway, Dong Xiaoyou thinks that she is a stupid and lazy person, and Zhang Xiuer and the princess are better than herself, she is an outsider now, why worry about this? Although Bai Ling said it well, how could Zhang Xiuer not know? As soon as she came, she did this, not to make her position, even if Mrs. Zhang wants to abandon the car to protect the handsome in the future, but at least if she doesn't lose, Mrs. Zhang will definitely do everything possible to help Zhang Xiu'er, right? This is also a means......

At the moment when Dong Xiaoyu was thinking wildly, Ginkgo returned to Yixiangyuan: "Miss, I heard from the people of the Wang family that your father Master Xu is a guest, and Master Xu wants to see you." ”

"Father is here!?" Dong Xiaoyou was both happy and nervous, "Biluo, let's go see him!" ”
