"Really?" He asked, tapping his right hand on the table, thoughtful. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

She nodded.

Out of politeness, and to hide her nervousness, she asked, "Do you want water?" ”

"Don't." He replied crisply.

She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she had to pray in her heart that he would leave soon.

Zhao Yuliang didn't mean to leave at all, he looked at her quietly, with his usual sharp and indifferent eyes, as if he wanted to see her through.

When he saw her slender white hands, the expression on his face changed slightly.

"Do you read a lot?" Zhao Yuliang suddenly asked.

After some weighing, Yingsu replied in a low voice: "Not often." ”

But then he said: "In my spare time, I like to read very much, and I often forget to eat and sleep." ”

She tried to explain her behavior of bringing books to the job site, while also emphasizing the fact that she didn't read books when the work was not finished.

To her surprise, instead of criticizing her, he said, "Me too." The expression on his face was suddenly much softer than before.

He did not call himself "Hongu" in front of her. She didn't know what he meant.

His "me too" made her involuntarily look up at him.

It takes courage, of course, but she is brave when she decides to do something.

Her brave glance immediately fixed her whole body there. Chu Xiang and the other palace maids were really right, this was indeed a face that could firmly attract the attention of others.

She thought about it for a moment and found the words that best described him: handsome, elegant, gentle, and cold.

Yes, it may seem contradictory, but it does feel like that.

He's not supposed to be a good guy to get along with.

She was keenly aware of this.

He happened to be looking at her when she looked at him, and their eyes made contact.

Yingsu suddenly felt a little disturbed, and at the same time, the scene of the death of the three closest relatives once again surfaced in her, making her heart ache as if she had been pricked by a needle.

Her gaze at him involuntarily turned cold, and hatred unconsciously welled up in her heart and spread to her eyes.

This woman, her gaze changed from the previous surprise to cold, and there was still hatred, resistance, and defense hidden in it.

He was also a man of keen senses, and although her eyes were only fleeting, he had received them completely. He smiled slightly, turned and sat down, in a very leisurely manner, and then looked at her without saying a word, for a long time.

She withdrew her gaze and asked in a voice that couldn't be smaller, "Your Highness, the pear syrup has been stewed, do you need a slave to ask someone to bring it to your room?" ”

Originally, she wanted to say, 'Or did she just drink it here?' But he felt that a person of his stature would not like to eat in the kitchen, so he gave up.

Zhao Yuliang did not answer her words, but said lightly: "You seem to hate me a little." ”

He was a little curious about the source of her hatred, but he didn't say it, he knew that she would not tell her at this time.

Is this what he can see?

Yingsu was suddenly shocked and frightened.

Of course, she did have some hatred for him, although she knew that she should not have such emotions until the truth of the matter was clarified, but after all, she was not deeply involved in the world, and she was not able to control her emotions well.

Yingsu shook her head slightly.

His expression was like a smile, and he said coldly: "Your eyes have betrayed you." Then he got up and went away without saying a word.

Yingsu was suddenly scared, and at the same time she blamed herself.

I can't even hide my emotions in front of others, how will I mix here in the future?

Will he fire her?

She was suddenly worried about this. I'm worried.

Wenzhu came in, she estimated the time, but when she saw Yingsu, she still asked, "Is the pear syrup ready?" ”

"It's done." Ying Su hurriedly said.

"Father-in-law Lin can't come if he has something, you can go with me." Wenzhu said.

The crown prince is already dissatisfied with himself, and now he appears in front of him, will it not be good? But if she doesn't go at this time, she can't find a more suitable person. Yingsu was in a dilemma.

"Don't worry, I can do the tasting work alone, you just have to help hand the spoon and towel to the side. Let's go, don't keep Your Highness waiting. Wenzhu said.

Yingsu nodded and didn't say anything more.

The two walked briskly towards the prince's residence in the darkness of the night.

Passing through long corridors, flower-filled gardens and small bridges carved out of jade, the prince's residence is in front of you.

Wen Zhu exhaled secretly, then gently stepped forward and knocked on the door, and said, "Your Highness, the slave maid has served you sugar water." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yuliang's low voice came from inside.

Immediately a maid came and opened the door.

Yingsu's face suddenly turned red at this time.

She remembered the hand that had lifted her chin.

She shouldn't have thought about this at this time, she hurriedly shook her head.

Wen Zhu took the sugar water from Yingsu's hand and walked in first.

Yingsu hesitated for a moment before following in.

The prince's residence is very wide, and the furniture and furnishings in it are very simple and elegant, neat and orderly, so it looks very magnificent, but it does not give people a sense of luxury and opulence.

Yingsu carefully examined the contents of the room.

Whether it is the flowers on the flower goblets by the window, the books on the desks and shelves, or the white jade teacups on the tea table, they all silently show the extraordinary taste of the owner.

Zhao Yuliang is sitting on the Luohan bed by the window/playing Go.

The light shone on the side of his face, leaving a beautiful projection on the wall.

Yingsu didn't dare to look at it again, and hurriedly withdrew her eyes.

She didn't dare to take a second look at everything in the house.

She deliberately isolated herself from here.

Wen Zhu put the sugar water in front of the prince, and Yingsu immediately handed Wen Zhu the bowl he was going to taste.

Just when Wenzhu wanted to carry out the step of 'eating first and tasting first', the prince suddenly reached out and swept the bowl of sugar water on the table to the ground along with the tray of serving vegetables.

The bowl was then shattered, making a loud noise in the stillness of the night, and the sugar water was scattered all over the floor.

Seeing this, Wen Zhu hurriedly knelt down.

Yingsu also knelt down.

The prince's personal maid also hurriedly knelt down.

Their hearts were on the verge of raising their voices.

"Get out." Zhao Yuliang said. The voice is extremely calm, and there is no trace of emotion to hear.

Wen Zhu and Yingsu glanced at each other, and immediately started to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the ground.

When they had cleaned up their belongings, they hurried away.

After walking out of the distance, Wen Zhucai said: "Your Highness rarely does this, and I don't know if it's because I'm in a bad mood today." ”

In Wen Zhu's impression, although Zhao Yuliang's temper was a little unpredictable, he rarely got angry with the palace maids, so he scared her just now.

Yingsu didn't make a sound.

After a while, Yingsu said, "Next time, I'll try not to go to His Highness." ”

"It doesn't have to be because you went." Wen Zhu hurriedly comforted.

But Yingsu knows it.

This night, Yingsu had nightmares all night.

When she woke up, she suddenly wanted to get out of here.

At the same time, she had a hunch that she might be fired.

She was so distraught that she didn't even have an appetite for breakfast. She wanted to go, she wanted to leave far away, and the feeling was getting more and more of the upper hand. But then she remembered the purpose of her coming here, and then she slowly dispelled that thought. She hated herself, hated her performance in front of him.

At the same time, she repeatedly warned herself in her heart: she must not act rashly now.

She pulled herself together to get dressed, and then went to the restaurant as usual.

It was still dawn, and there was still silence all around.

The rest of the cooking department has arrived.

Seeing that Yingsu came in, Chu Xiang immediately said: "Just now, Gonggong Lin came and said that His Royal Highness has ordered you to be transferred to the palm seam department 1, and your previous work will be replaced by Wenzhu." ”
