Chapter 63 Ask for Him
On the way home, Jinqiu told me the story of the incident. Pen fun Pavilion www.biquge.info before Concubine Rong entered the palace as a concubine, is the eldest lady in the general's mansion, because of the early death of her mother, raised by the nurse in the house since childhood, especially fond of the hibiscus cake made by the nurse, after entering the palace has been thinking about the hibiscus cake, the nurse will be handed over to the people sent by the palace every time she is done, but the nurse is old, Concubine Rong can't bear her old man to serve in the palace, so she left her in the general's mansion to retire and enjoy her old age.
The years are not forgiving, and then the nurse died, before leaving, the practice of this hibiscus cake was handed over to the princess of the Three Princes' Mansion, and it is inevitable that when Concubine Rong wants to eat it in the future, there is a person who can do it.
This time, Jinqiu and a few palace maids were ordered by Concubine Rong to go out on errands, and by the way, they went to the Three Princesses' Mansion to bring the hibiscus cake made by the three princesses back to the palace.
At that time, I couldn't get used to seeing her being bullied by a few people, and she was angry for a while, who would have thought that their master was Concubine Rong, which was good, and she married for no reason.
If Murong Chenxi knew that I had done such a promising thing today, I don't know how he would feel.
Just as I was thinking about it, I had already arrived at the gate of the palace, and the girl looked at me in surprise, pointed to the palace and said, "You are from the four kings' mansions?" β
Looking at her shocked face, she was obviously frightened.
Qianping replied to her: "Yes, we are from the Four Princes' Mansion." β
Pointing at me, he said, "My master is the princess of this house." β
"Princess?"
She looked at me, froze, and whispered, "Isn't it Miss?" β
It seems that listening to Qianping's name for me, she treats me as a young lady from a big family.
"The slave has seen the four princesses."
Jinqiu was busy saluting me.
I said: "Get up, you stay in the palace for the time being, the palace does not have so many rules compared to the palace, but it can't follow the temperament, the etiquette and rules that should be observed are not less, if you don't know anything, just ask Qianping, she will teach you how to do it, Concubine Rong's side I will watch it, you don't have to be afraid of this matter, I have saved you and brought you back to the palace, I will not ignore you." β
"Slave and maid, thank you, Princess."
Jinqiu said gratefully.
I glanced at Qianping and ordered, "Qianping, you take her to the housekeeper to arrange for her to stay." β
"Yes."
Qianping replied and led Jin to find the housekeeper.
After she left, I ordered the other subordinates who followed me and Qianping during the day to go their separate ways, and went to the hall alone.
At this time, it was dinner time, fortunately, I came back in time, otherwise I would have missed the meal, I don't know if Murong Chenxi is waiting for me as usual.
Jinqiu's matter, I have to tell him, I don't know how he will react when he finds out.
Forget it, you have to face it after all, and you can only blame yourself for being nosy.
Halfway through, I happened to meet Xiaoni and a few maids passing by with vegetables.
"The slave and maid greet the princess."
When they saw me, they hurriedly greeted me.
I waved my hand and said, "Please come." β
"Princess Xie."
"The prince is here?"
I asked.
Xiaoni replied: "Back to the princess, the prince is waiting for you in the hall for dinner." β
"I see. Go ahead and get busy."
"Yes, Princess."
οΌ
He was waiting for me, as usual, but I knew it wasn't like ever.
Then I came to the hall, and at a glance, I saw Murong Chenxi sitting alone with an indifferent face facing a table of food waiting for me, so I walked up quickly and sat down.
He looked at me and said casually, "Here we are." β
As usual, after speaking, he picked up his chopsticks and prepared to pick up the dishes.
I had an idea, and immediately put a piece of sweet and sour lotus root into his bowl, smiled at him, and said, "This is your favorite dish, busy with official business during the day, eat more." β
He was slightly stunned, put down his chopsticks, and looked at me.
"What's the matter, why are you looking at me like that?"
He looked at me inexplicably, which made me a little uncomfortable.
His face was calm, staring at me quietly, I don't know what he wanted to find out from my face, I didn't make a sound, I was silent for a while, the corners of his mouth slowly overflowed with a smile, and said: I heard the housekeeper say that you took Qianping to the market today, usually you always eat by yourself, and I didn't see you want to pick up vegetables for me like this today, and you received this treatment, isn't it a trouble outside?
β
I was shocked to see if I had the words written on my face for him to see.
I pretended to be calm and said calmly: "Lord, how can you think like this, you and I are husband and wife, what's so strange about being a wife serving vegetables to her husband."
β
The corners of his mouth hooked up into a smile, and he said, "Oh, is it?"
It seems that this king has thought too much, as Bingxi said, will he have this treatment in the future like today?
β
I panicked, a little blind, I didn't know what to do for a while, and I didn't know how to answer him, he is such a smart person, as long as he wants to know, naturally he can't hide anything, and I don't want to brutalize him, but I should always say something in advance, so that I can ask him, think about it, and I haven't served food for him.
Thinking that he would wait for him to finish his meal happily and then talk to him, he has always been as careful as dust, and it is not surprising that he has questions about my extraordinary behavior today.
Forget it, it's better to explain honestly, so as not to spare such a big circle of trouble.
I put down my chopsticks, like a child who had done something wrong, looked at him pitifully, and said, "The prince is smart, Bingxi did something outside today, and it was not a trouble, but it was more serious than a trouble."
β
The more I go down, the more I lack confidence.
He also put down the dishes and chopsticks, and looked at me seriously, and when he heard that what I was doing was more serious than the trouble, his expression was not as casual and relaxed as just now.
He said lightly: "Let's hear it."
β
So I told him about Jinqiuγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» after listening to me, he didn't get angry, his face was solemn, I knew that this matter was not an ordinary trivial matter, and it was normal for him to have this reaction.
He asked, "That one named Jinqiu, did you put her in the mansion?"
I nodded in response.
He asked again: "After all, she is the palace maid next to Concubine Rong, do you know anything about her?" β
I know that he is cautious, but what will a girl have, I said disapprovingly: "Jinqiu is just a palace maid, quite a simple girl, there is nothing to doubt, don't ask her again." β
Because he couldn't bear it, he asked, "What do you say you should do about this?" When it comes to Concubine Rong, there must be an explanation, in case it is not handled well, firstly, it will leave a bad reputation for the palace, and secondly, it will be unreasonable to take care of Concubine Rong's face. If you don't go to the Three Princes' Mansion, please ask the Three Princesses to make another hibiscus cake, bring it into the palace to apologize, and say something good. As for Jinqiu, I asked Concubine Rong to stay by my side as a maid, what do you think? β
