Chapter 353: Rui Wang's Mansion (I)

Xiao Xia is an inconspicuous third-class girl in Rui Wangfu, and today it is her turn to be a second-class class with an old mother surnamed Huang, because it is the second half of the night, and it is almost dawn, Xiao Xia is simply sleepy, and her brain has been insisting on it.

The mother surnamed Huang has been in the palace for some time because of her age, so she kept watch for a while in the first half of the night, and it was all handed over to Xiao Xia.

I looked up at the dark sky with only a few inconspicuous stars, and then looked back at Huang's mother, who was sleeping heavily, thinking that it should be dawn when it was darkest at this time, right? Finally, she could go back and get some sleep......

But before her drowsy head woke up, there was a sudden noise at the door of the second gate, and then Zhu Da, the housekeeper of the palace, hurriedly ran into the corridor of the inner courtyard with a few girls.

"Steward Zhu, what's going on?" Xiao Xia saw that Steward Zhu, who was quite calm on weekdays, was in a hurry like this, so he hurriedly greeted him.

"Where's Mother Huang?" Steward Zhu asked as he walked.

"Mother Huang is here, in the ......" Xiao Xia didn't know how to answer Zhu Da for a while, she couldn't go directly to the club, Mother Huang was sleeping, right? After all, they were on duty together today.

"Mother Huang, get up!" It seemed that Huang's mother was going to sleep, so Zhu Da kicked open the second door, which was a special trip to the room where the girl on duty was resting.

"Who, who......? Zhu, Zhu housekeeper?! Huang's mother was still dreaming, and was suddenly awakened by a noise. When he was still staring in a daze, he had already been pulled by Xiao Xia to look at Zhu Da at the door.

"Mother Huang, take the two girls to boil a bucket of bath water to 'Xinyayuan', the temperature is a little hotter!" Steward Zhu also frowned slightly at Huang's mother's sleeping behavior when she was on duty, and hurriedly ordered.

"Yes, yes!" Originally, Huang's mother wanted to ask who to boil the bath water for, but when she thought of her laziness, Steward Zhu knew about it. I don't know how to punish her, so I don't have the heart to ask anything else, so I quickly agreed.

After that, Steward Zhu took a few people who came together before to Xinyayuan in the backyard, Xiao Xia looked at Steward Zhu in a daze, they came and went, and the destination was Xinyayuan, and she couldn't help muttering in her heart.

In other words, they are Rui Wangfu. Although it is a royal mansion, because the prince has not been in the capital all the year round, and there is no princess in the palace. Although the imperial concubine Niangniang carried two concubines to the prince when she was there, the existence of those two was just a thing on the name, and there was no real power in the palace at all.

So when the prince of the entire mansion was not there, it was taken care of by Steward Zhu. And that Xinya Garden was built in the year of the prince's weak crown. It was designed by the emperor himself. So everyone said that it was the courtyard for the future princess to live.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xia instantly seemed to understand something, could it be ...... In this palace, there will be a hostess?

"Stinky girl, the people in the yard are busy and their feet don't touch the ground, why are you still stunned?!" Just when Xiao Xia's heart was surging because of the fact that she suddenly thought of and didn't know who to tell it, she was directly hit by a huge burst of chestnuts in her brain. She was dozing off from the pain, but she was still very excited.

"Mother Tong. Y-Why are you here? Xiao Xia looked back at the middle-aged woman who knocked her brain, and quickly lowered her head and asked respectfully.

"Quick, help them hand over the lanterns, they all have to hang on this porch!"

Mother Tong pointed to the two little maids behind her and the long string of lanterns behind them, originally because the prince was often not in the mansion, so in the huge mansion, in addition to more than forty servants and small servants, there were only a few, less than twenty girl mothers.

In the past, when the prince came back, he was often very low-key, in his words, how could the prince's style be so important, could it not be that without these styles, he would not be the Rui prince of the Qi Zhou Dynasty?

So over the years, the Rui Wangfu has really come over like this, but God knows, the prince didn't say anything in the past few days when he came back, and he didn't have any preparations, and he suddenly brought it back tonight and said, let the house prepare and prepare, he is going to bring the future princess back.

Such a thunderous news woke up the sleeping Rui Wangfu in a daze, and it was at this time that Tong's mother realized that the people in this palace were really not enough!

Mother Tong is an old man who followed Zhu Jingrui out of the palace, when she was in the palace before, she served Zhu Jingrui's mother Concubine Jing Niangniang, and later after the prince was separated, Concubine Jing Niangniang asked her to come out with her, so over the years, she can be said to have watched Zhu Jingrui grow up, and she also knows that he attaches great importance to feelings.

If it weren't for the person he identified, she thought, he would not have been able to welcome her back so excitedly, so Mother Tong felt that she must give a good impression to the future princess, at least not let her feel that this palace is too 'cold'!

After giving the order, Mother Tong walked quickly in the direction of Xinyayuan. Seeing Tong's mother leaving, Xiao Xia handed the lanterns to the two little girls who were hanging the lanterns, and asked mysteriously, "Do you know who will come later?" ”

"You don't even know this, Xiaoxia, you're too sluggish, right?!" The little guy who was taking the lantern from Xiao Xia's hand said with a look of surprise and disdain.

"Who said I don't know, I'm just testing you!" Xiao Xia was ridiculed, and she was immediately unhappy and refuted.

"There is about to be a princess in the palace, and now the entire palace is afraid that everyone except you knows about it, right?" The other smiled and took the lantern that Xiao Xia handed him to hang, with a hint of joy in his amused tone.

"Huh? How can the whole province know about it? ......" Xiao Xia was stunned for a moment.

"Lord Wenshi came back and said, is there still a fake?" At this time, the little guy who had laughed at Xiao Xia before said to her with contempt.

"Ah......" said, no one told her okay? She guessed it herself......

Time passed little by little in the tension of this palace, until a trace of gray appeared in the sky, and a carriage slowly appeared outside the palace.

The first to get out of the car was the current Qi and Zhou Dynasty's civil and military masters, and his appearance was as amazing as a heavenly man, and now he had a smile on his face that could compare to all the beautiful things in the world, and the joy and happiness revealed from the depths of his eyes were something that no one present had ever seen.

At this time, those starry eyes were not elsewhere, but they were closely looking at the one who leaned out of the carriage...... It's so ordinary that it can't be more ordinary. (To be continued.) )
