Chapter 20: He Can't Guess
"The slave maid has seen the princess, I don't know why the princess came to the Qinxin Palace at this time?"
Xiyan saw through her identity at a glance, and Mo Youyuan had to admit that she was smart. She smiled and said, "The prince's meal has been prepared, can the prince be in the palace?" ”
Xi Yan glanced at the food box in Yanxiang's hand, in fact, she had already seen it in her heart, but she pretended not to know, she smiled so much that her apricot eyes were crooked and she was about to take the food box in Yanxiang's hand. "The princess's meal was personally delivered by Princess Helao, and the slave thanked the princess for doing it on her behalf."
Yanxiang dodged her outstretched hand, and Xi Yan's white hand fell into the air, which was quite embarrassing, but Xi Yan said with a smile: "You are Yan Xiang, the personal maid next to the princess, right?" Give me the food box and it's done. ”
Yanxiang really couldn't stand it, how could anyone be so uninteresting and dare to be presumptuous in front of the young lady who was the princess, she said with a smile: "Miss Xiyan, the princess and the princess are husband and wife, and the princess personally sends meals to her husband, why do you want to fake her hands with others?" ”
Xiyan is not a vegetarian, and still strives for his own position, "I am the prince's personal maid, and it is my duty to take care of the prince's food, clothing and daily life, the Yanxiang girl just came to the palace and didn't understand the rules, and I don't care about you, but I can't do this in the future, otherwise, I will lose the face of the master." ”
"You..."Yan Xiang pointed at Xiyan, remembering Mama Yao's advice, she told her that she couldn't be impulsive, and then smiled and said unceremoniously: "In front of the princess, Miss Xiyan has a word for me, why, have you forgotten who is the master?" ”
At this point, Xi Yan's face showed embarrassment. There was no female owner in the palace before, and she was the big maid who was close to King Li, and she was like half a female master in this palace. In the eyes of others, she is a popular person in front of King Li, she looks smart, maybe one day she will be canonized as a lady, and now there is a master, breaking all her beautiful illusions, she is unwilling to accept this princess in her heart.
Yanxiang embarrassed her mercilessly and made her painful, and she naturally counted this account on Mo Youyuan. Although Mo Youyuan is also dissatisfied with Xiyan, Yanxiang is indeed too difficult to get off the stage, so she is a person who has served King Li for many years, and she can't directly offend people without looking at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha.
Mo Youyuan opened her mouth to relieve the siege and said: "Miss Xiyan is used to it, and it is understandable that she lost her manners for a while, since the inner courtyard of the palace will be taken care of by the concubine in the future, and the prince's food, clothing and daily life will be taken care of by the concubine herself, Miss Xiyan still has to get used to it slowly." ”
Xi Yan also saw that Mo Youyuan was not a soft persimmon at this time, since she was given the steps, she had to go along the steps, and bowed at the moment: "Thank you princess for forgiving the slave maid's mistakes." ”
Xi Yan's attitude is not only a mistake, it is simply a crime, and according to the rules of the palace, she can be punished. Since she has the heart to let her go, of course she won't care anymore, and this somewhat unpleasant episode will be revealed. She looked at Yanxiang, who had not yet deflated, and said, "Let's go in." ”
Yan Xiang watched Mo Youyuan step into the Qinxin Hall and did not stop her, Yan Xiang glanced at her deeply, she didn't care about Yan Xiang, but felt that Mo Youyuan was a little different.
The spacious outer hall has a simple and atmospheric layout, and the first ebony Taishi chair in the middle is quietly placed there, which is carved with intricate patterns, giving people a sense of majesty for no reason. A dark blue curtain hung in ear hooks on both sides, and when the owner did not want to show up to meet guests, the curtain could be lowered to isolate him. There are a few mahogany Taishi chairs and square coffee tables on each side of the lower head, this dark color arrangement makes people a little depressing, maybe it is a symbol of power, as long as you walk here, you can't help but become cautious.
Mo Youyuan's gaze turned to the window on the right, and her water eyes crashed into a pair of phoenix eyes as deep as the sea, and the silence and insipidity in them made her stunned and forgot to react on the spot. Maybe he didn't expect Qin Chitong to be sitting in the golden silk nanmu soft couch under the window, and he didn't know how long he had been looking at him silently, Mo Youyuan's heart couldn't help pounding, and he lost his square inch.
Slowly walking in front of Qin Chitong, she bowed slightly, "The concubine asks the prince for peace." ”
Qin Chitong slightly swept the food box in Yanxiang's hand to understand Mo Youyuan's intention, but he felt that Mo Youyuan had done enough in this scene. Is it gratitude or flattery? Frowning slightly, he replied casually: "Concubine Ai doesn't need to care about these vulgar rites in front of this king. ”
Mo Youyuan glanced up at him, but she was guessing in her heart that he didn't go to have a round room with her last night, maybe it was really just a few more drinks during the banquet. The mind is as simple as her, and there are few people who have been raised in the boudoir for 16 years, where do they know how to play with their hearts. is as noble as Qin Chitong, who can force him if he doesn't want to, let alone get him drunk.
"The kitchen has just made lunch, and the concubine sent it to the prince, is the prince eating now?"
"Put it down, these things are done by someone, and Concubine Ai doesn't need to work hard in the future."
She repeatedly spoke softly and gently, but Qin Chitong's mouth was to reject her kindness, and the feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away still did not change, even if she was married to him now and became his wife. Is it really difficult for him to accept her in his heart? Xiang Yanxiang nodded and motioned for him to do what Qin Chitong said, Yanxiang pouted and pulled her face to put down the food box and walked to Mo Youyuan's side and stood quietly.
Mo Youyuan said with a smile: "The meals in the food box have all been checked by the concubines themselves, and the dishes are very good. ”
Turning around and walking a few steps, Mo Youyuan stopped, looked back at Qin Chitong's pretending to sleep phoenix eyes and said: "Since the concubine made a promise in front of her father, the prince's food and clothing will be taken care of by the concubine herself, if it is... If the prince really doesn't like the concubines to disturb, the concubines will not come to trouble the prince at other times. ”
After saying everything that should be said, Mo Youyuan bowed slightly, and walked out of the Qinxin Hall again. Qin Chitong opened his eyes slightly, and wondered a little in his heart, he really couldn't see through this woman. He had only decided to have nothing to do with him when he had kept his promise, and he had already made his position clear, so he couldn't guess why she didn't want to stay in peace.
Stepping out of the Qinxin Palace, Mo Youyuan's heart was still very uncomfortable. Before, she thought that there were other side concubines and ladies in the Li Palace, but she didn't expect that there was no female owner in the Li Palace. There are no other ladies in the house, and she can't please Qin Chitong, so with a side concubine and a lady, how should she deal with herself.
"Princess, be careful..."
"Ahh
Yan Xiang was also absent-minded when she followed behind Mo Youyuan, but when she looked up, she actually walked to the koi pond, Yan Xiang screamed in fright, when Mo Youyuan reacted, one foot happened to step into the pool, and the body lost balance and the whole person fell into the pool.
