Chapter 008: Gossip

When the sky was slightly bright, Uncle Zhang, the housekeeper of the palace, brought a few people to the secluded residence. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"The old slave has seen the princess." After Uncle Zhang bent his waist and saluted Yan Sui, he led a few people behind him one by one and introduced: "These maids, the slaves will be on an errand in this quiet residence in the future, and the princess will use them for the time being. ”

Hearing this, Yan Sui glanced at it roughly, there were not many people coming, and it happened to be the number of people who were matched according to the identity of the princess. This made Yan Sui take a second look at the old housekeeper.

The princess who newly entered the mansion lived in a quiet house on the first night, and if she met a snob and didn't know the severity, I am afraid she would not take her as a princess in her eyes. But this butler has obviously encountered a major incident, and in this case, he is also not humble or arrogant and does what a butler should do according to the rules.

"Okay, I'm tired." Yan Sui thanked him lightly.

"What else does the princess need to command?" Uncle Zhang asked respectfully.

"After a while, I will trouble the butler to prepare a carriage and send someone to bring the other two of my maids from the post house to the palace."

"The old slave will send someone to do it in a while, does the princess still have orders?" Uncle Zhang nodded and said.

"Everything else is fine." Yan Sui thought about it, and finally asked, "Is the prince still in the mansion now?" ”

"Back to the princess, the prince went out of the house last night and has not returned to the house yet."

Got out of the house last night? Yan Sui couldn't help but feel a little confused in his heart. What was Chu Lingtian's reason for leaving the mansion last night? Since the royal officials know that he is out of the palace, it must be the gate of the palace...... On the wedding night, going out so blatantly, is it telling everyone that she, the princess, was left out in the cold as soon as she entered the door?

"If the princess has nothing else to do, the old slave will retire first."

Bad things have always liked to come together, Yan Sui on the front foot just heard from a few subordinates that Chu Lingtian was drunk and lovesick last night, and a little girl ran into the courtyard with a nervous face on the back foot and said, "Princess, the lord of Huan Ling is here." ”

"Lord Huan Ling?" Although Yan Sui has an understanding of the royal family of the Jin Kingdom, it is limited to men, and as for the princesses and county lords in the royal family, they really know very little.

However, looking at the nervous appearance of this little girl, Yan Suichai also guessed that this Huanling County Lord was afraid that he was not good at stubble.

"Princess, my father, oh no, Steward Zhang said, it's better that you don't see the county lord today......" The little girl lowered her head, twisted her fingers, and said softly.

"Are you the daughter of this royal official?" Compared with the county lord of Huan Ling, Yan Sui was interested in this little girl first.

This little girl looks like she is only twelve or thirteen years old, and she has not yet reached the end of her hair with a bun on her head. Seeing that she was obviously very nervous, she was still desperately pretending to be calm......

When the little girl saw the princess asking herself, she quickly replied: "Back to the princess, my father is indeed the official of this palace." The princess can call me a thousand children. ”

"Qian'er...... It's a nice name. Yan Sui said with a hint of a smile, "I heard you speak just now and always use the word 'I', doesn't Qian'er live in this mansion?" ”

It stands to reason that if this little girl lives in the palace, according to Steward Zhang's prudence, she should not let her daughter make such a mistake.

When Qian'er heard this, she immediately shook her head and said, "I live in the mansion, and I live in the prince's courtyard!" ”

When she said this, Qian'er's face obviously had a trace of pride and happiness, after all, in the entire palace, except for the prince's guards, only he lived in the prince's courtyard.

"The prince said that Qian'er is a child, not a slave, so Qian'er doesn't need to call herself a 'slave' in the palace......" When she said this, Qian'er unconsciously began to wring her fingers, and her voice became softer, obviously nervous again.

"Qian'er don't be nervous, what the prince said is right, Qian'er is a child, not a slave." Yan Sui smiled and touched Qian'er's head.

It seems that Chu Lingtian is not ordinary to this child......

"Uncle Zhang, you just said that the princess is unwell and it is not suitable to see guests, but the county lord is looking at it now, the princess has a ruddy complexion, but it doesn't look uncomfortable!" A voice with a thick sense of sarcasm in anger came from the doorway.

Hearing this, Qian'er subconsciously retreated behind Yan Sui.

Yan Sui raised her eyes and looked, the woman in front of her was about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a golden elastic ink scattered flower lily skirt and a jacquard butterfly pattern tulle Guangling. The black and shiny shoulder-length hair is held high in a bun, the waist is tied with silk, and the feet are embroidered plum blossom crescent shoes.

If it weren't for the words just now, the whole person would really look graceful and worthy of the words "peerless beauty".

"County Lord, the princess is indeed not suitable to meet guests." Uncle Zhang took a step forward, still saying in a respectful but not cowardly tone, "The county lord is now in the Chenwang Mansion, and please don't forget it." ”

"Bold! Even a mere minion would dare to talk to the lord of this county like this! Huan Ling didn't take Uncle Zhang in his eyes at all, let alone listen to his words.

"Okay, Steward Zhang, since the county lord is here, he is a guest. Tell someone to serve tea. Yan Sui opened her mouth and nodded slightly to signal Uncle Zhang to do as she said.

"Yes, the old slave will let people serve tea." When Uncle Zhang saw the princess speak, he didn't say anything anymore.

"Yo, it seems that you really think of yourself as Princess Chen!" Huan Ling looked at Uncle Zhang's respectful appearance towards Yan Sui, and the jealousy in his heart couldn't be suppressed.

How can this woman be so virtuous that she can actually marry her Ling Tian's brother!

The county lord was surprised. Yan Sui ignored Huan Ling's jealousy, smiled lightly, and said casually, "This family affair is the emperor's decree of the two countries, and the 'Princess Chen' is the decree of the Jin Emperor, if this palace does not regard itself as the 'Princess Chen', then what should it be?" ”

Yan Sui didn't care about these identities, but sometimes he had to use them to make some people sober up. The lord of the county may be honorable, but it is not as high as the position of the princess.

"You ......" Huan Ling was speechless for a while, but soon a different kind of brilliance flashed in his eyes, with a mocking smile, and said proudly, "Yes, everyone in the world knows that you are Princess Chen, but they also know that you are not favored as Princess Chen." ”

Come to think of it, how beautiful it is, isn't it just a tribute sent by Xia Guo to ask for peace, to put it nicely, it is a princess, to put it bluntly, she is just a cheap maid who was sold by her own country.

"Huh...... How much do others know about whether they are favored or not, after all, it is just hearsay. Yan Sui didn't show any gloom, and said with a light smile, "Just like the county lord, can you still enter the prince's new house, know how the prince treats the palace on the wedding night, and what did he say to the palace......?"
