Chu Yueqing let go of the entanglement in her heart, racking her brains to pull the few horror stories she knew. In the end, Xuanyuan Hao was deadly silent, "Lady, you, don't say it." Hao'er doesn't want to know anymore. ”

In fact, Chu Yueqing herself is almost unable to hold on, she is basically incompetent to accept horror stories or something. But she must not tell Xuanyuan Hao the truth of what happened in the dream.

Fortunately, he couldn't hold on anymore, and Chu Yueqing also fooled the ending, "Yes, it's terrible." ”

Seeing Xuanyuan Hao nodding his head with a pretended calm face, Chu Yueqing also changed the topic. In case it really leaves a psychological shadow on him, she will be the one who suffers and suffers in the future.

She remembers telling her brother a few ghost stories when he was younger. As a result, her younger brother has been left with a psychological shadow since he was a child, and he does not dare to go out alone at night. So, from then on, whenever her brother wanted to go out, her parents would let her accompany her, saying who scared him out of you

Chu Yueqing didn't see Xiao Sheng in the Bamboo Heart Courtyard, she thought carefully about the qi in her dream, Xiao Sheng at that time seemed to be taller than now, and her facial features were more open than now. Moreover, the emperor in the dream is not the old emperor who is reigning now.

Based on these, Chu Yueqing had a bold conjecture, maybe it was really not a dream, but her future in this world.

Although things happened strangely, she was able to come to this so-called Great Qi Dynasty from modern times, so she thought that it was impossible to save zài, just like this dream of the future, maybe it could be zài.

If it is really as seen in the dream, Xiao Sheng's fate with him is not good. Then, for the sake of Xiaosheng's safety, she shouldn't let her come to her side.

Chu Yueqing's mind flashed Xia Xiang's appearance again, not to mention how she got to Lehua's side, just based on her attitude, Chu Yueqing would no longer treat her as his own. In this case, Xia Xiang's life and death are not her responsibility.

―――――――――― dividing line ――――――――――――――――――-――

After Xuanyuan Hao and Xiao Xiangzi left, Chu Yueqing took a nap.

When she woke up, she suddenly felt that something was different.

Sometimes the epiphany is actually in a moment, if she continues to live here with the same temperament as she is now, the final outcome will inevitably be like in a dream.

She will die herself, and she can't protect Xuanyuan Hao. And her father would draw his sword and kill himself.

Thinking of the tragic picture in the dream, Chu Yueqing would feel tightness in his chest, and his breathing would become cramped and restless.

She is not a timid person by nature, and she can only become strong in the current situation. in order to protect herself and her family.

Chu Yueqing took a deep breath and walked out with strict steps.

The first step to survival in ancient times, she had to have her own people.

Sitting on the main seat, Yueqing looked at Xia Xiang, who came in to help her pour tea, and ordered: "You let all the maids and servants in the Zhuxin Courtyard come in, I have something to tell you." ”

Xia Xiang hung her head, "Yes, princess." ”

In a moment, the courtyard of the main house was full of maids and servants from the top and bottom of the bamboo heart courtyard. From the rough maid who swept the yard to the first-class maid who served closely, there were no less than 100 people gathered in the courtyard.

Although he was mentally prepared, after Chu Yueqing saw clearly the group of people kneeling in this place, he was still shocked.

There are so many people in Zhuxin Courtyard alone, so how many people are there in the entire Haowang Mansion?

Chu Yueqing stood on the steps and said, "You all get up, don't panic, today I just recognize people." ”

A group of slaves rose in response, Chu Yueqing saw Xiao Sheng in the corner on the right, and at this moment he was a little nervous pulling the corner of a middle-aged maid's clothes, and the maid gently patted her hand to reassure her.

Chu Yueqing retracted his gaze, that should be Xiao Sheng's mother. Her face is no different from that of an ordinary woman, but her body is slimmer and slender than that of people of her age. Because it was a little far away, Chu Yueqing couldn't see the woman's expression, but she had a feeling that this person was not ordinary.

"Princess, the slave is the steward in this courtyard, surnamed Zhang." A slightly chubby man was the first to greet her. Chu Yueqing observed him carefully, his face had deep laugh lines, and his eyes flashed from time to time. Chu Yueqing estimated that he would be at least forty-six or seventeen, because although the wrinkles on his face were not luxuriant, they were obvious, and they were growing vigorously.

"It turned out to be Steward Zhang, and I will have to bother you more in this courtyard in the future." Chu Le replied lightly, this sentence fully expressed her meaning.

Steward Zhang lowered his head with a smile and replied, "The princess is polite, this is a matter for the villain." ”

While Chu Yueqing was observing Steward Zhang, this Steward Zhang also observed Chu Yueqing quietly. Now that she knows that she is not seizing power, the warning in her eyes is a little less.

Chu Yueqing didn't care about the meaning of his words, and said to the people below: "I called you here today because I have something to say to you. ”

The figures below were shocked, and some even trembled, Chu Yueqing looked at these people and frowned at the moment, are most of them cowardly people?

"You don't need to panic, what you are going to say next is really irrelevant, and those who don't want to hear can now go back to their posts. There will be no penalties. ”

As soon as Chu Yueqing's words fell, there was a burst of restlessness when he lowered his voice. After a while, however, it was all quiet, and no one got up to leave.

Chu Yueqing looked at the quiet crowd and felt a little clear in his heart. They were all accustomed to this rigid hierarchy, and suddenly they were given the right to freedom and principle. They don't move, and these people deeply believe that the gun shoots the first bird. Following the crowd is the safe way.

"Since they haven't moved, let's wait one by one."

The people below were quiet this time, but the beads of sweat on their foreheads betrayed their hearts.

After all, sweating is not so simple in such a cool late autumn.

"Today, I want to choose a few diligent and clever maids to serve by my side and the prince. I'll ask you a few random questions with Steward Zhang. All you have to do is answer what you want. After Chu Yueqing finished speaking, he looked at the chubby Steward Zhang, "Steward Zhang, are you willing?" ”

Steward Zhang flashed his slender eyes, "Although the princess commands, how can the villain be unwilling." ”

"Okay."

Chu Yueqing turned around and entered the main room and sat on the main seat. Next to him stood Natsuka and Moori, and three maids stood behind Moori on the right.

Chu Yueqing began to order people to come in one by one, and asked them a few questions, occasionally asking Steward Zhang to follow for reference. But seeing that half of the people in the court had gone down, there was still no one who liked her.

In fact, the problems are very simple, they are all simple psychological problems. For example, what fruit do you like? If you were an animal, what would you choose to do? The most daring thing is that Chu Yueqing asked them what ideals they had?

But these people, as soon as they entered the house, rolled on the floor and sweated profusely. Asking a question, I couldn't say an answer for a long time, and Chu Yueqing's heart was half cold.

These questions are not difficult to answer, she just uses them to test the character of these people. Stay with those who need it, and return to their posts to continue working if they don't need it.

However, now she has no right to choose, as long as someone can answer all her questions. And she left them behind.

Outside the door came a thin little guy who looked to be less than ten years old. A face was also gray, Chu Yueqing asked hopelessly, "What's your name?" ”
