Chapter 31: Ulterior Motives
Tang Shaohe was spinning outside the courtyard, and when she didn't know where to go, a petite figure came in front of her, and it turned out that Dong Xi had come to pick her up.
"Miss Shaohe, are you tired? Hurry up and follow the slave maid to the Qingyou Pavilion to rest. Dong Xi saw that her face was full of tiredness, and raised his hand to help her to the west wing room considerately.
"What about my brother and the two girls?" Tang Shaohe asked as he walked, standing for a long time, his legs were as heavy as if they had been filled with lead.
Dong Xi smiled and said, "Master Zhou has sent Young Master Jinghua into the mansion and is teaching Young Master martial arts." ”
Tang Shaohe nodded, with the protection of Master Zhou and the prince, there would be no danger to his younger brother. It's just that the rules of the palace are very strict, and I'm afraid it's a little difficult to see my younger brother, I don't know if my younger brother will make trouble?
Worried, she pursed her lips and quickened her pace.
When I arrived at Qingyou Pavilion, Chunxiang came with Xia Tian and Qiu He.
After Tang Shaohe asked them some details, he asked them to go back to take care of their younger brother, after all, apart from her, his younger brother was quite dependent on these two girls.
When night fell quietly, Tang Shaohe had dinner and lay down on the bed early to rest.
In the Lilac Courtyard, the lights in the east wing are still not extinguished.
Mama Liu leaned on the big pillow at the head of the bed, looked at the girl beside her who was taking care of her carefully, the corners of her mouth pulled out a shallow arc, and said with a slight smile: "Yuqiong, you should rest early today, and let the girl named Shaohe serve tomorrow, you can go home with confidence." ”
"Mama, there are so many people serving in the house, why did you choose that girl? And she is also a maid in the outer courtyard, and her work is not as good as that of those maids in the house...... In case, if she accidentally makes a mistake, it will even affect your old man. The woman's face was full of confusion, and she didn't seem to approve of her risky actions.
"Silly girl, Mama is old, but she still has the ability to see people. Don't underestimate that girl, she can pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of several masters, and she can leave as if nothing happened, where is the key problem, do you know? Mama Liu rubbed her head lovingly, sighed and said slowly: "Yuqiong, Mama and Mama Rong have been fighting for most of their lives, but in the end they still didn't get anything. ”
"Mama, don't say such things again, Yuqiong will be scared......" Yuqiong's eyes were moist, and she bit her lower lip secretly, insisting that she would not let her tears fall.
"Now Mama's greatest wish is to watch the prince marry a wife and have children, and there is nothing else to ask for." Mama Liu let out a long sigh, waved her hand and said, "Go back, I originally wanted the prince to accept you as a roommate, but now it seems that there is no need...... The brocade box on the table has been given to you, and if you still have any difficulties in the future, let people come to Mama and say, whether it can help you or not, remember not to come back here, you can't fight them. ”
"Mama, Yuqiong knows." Yuqiong fell to her knees with a 'plop', her face full of tears of reluctance.
Mama Liu closed her eyes, waved her hand, and urged: "Let's go, don't come back after you leave." ”
"Mama, Yuqiong doesn't want to go." She hugged Mama Liu's body and cried: "Yuqiong went to beg the prince to ......"
Hearing this, Mama Liu opened her eyes suddenly, and a pair of thin hands grabbed her hand tightly, "Yuqiong, are you willing to stay?" ”
Yuqiong nodded tearfully and said: "Mama's nurturing grace, Yuqiong has nothing to repay, I am willing to stay by Mama's side in this life, and obey Mama's dispatch in everything, without complaint or regret!" ”
"Silly girl, in that case, you can stay and continue." Mama Liu patted her hand and said kindly: "Go to sleep, bring the brocade box with you, and I won't take it back if I give it to you." ”
"Thank you, Mama." Yuqiong exited the room with the brocade box in her arms.
In the study room of the palace, Qi Yanxiao was immersed in reading the dossier in his hand, while listening to the brief report of the Qin commander, his thick eyebrows wrinkled tightly into a Sichuan character.
"You said that Mama Rong deliberately hung her outside the courtyard gate for two hours?" Qi Dixiao put down the wolf pen in his hand, his face showed a trace of displeasure, his deep eyes stared straight at the Qin commander standing opposite, pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "What about the nurse, do you know how she reacts?" ”
"Back to the prince's words, according to what his subordinates have seen, Mama Liu doesn't seem to like Miss Shaohe very much......" Commander Qin told Qi Dian Xiao everything that happened that day, and seeing that the master had a handsome face, he didn't dare to disturb and stood aside.
Qi Dianxiao waved his hand, his eyes burst with sharp light, and he pursed the corners of his lips and said: "Protect her well, although she was invited to accompany the nurse at the request of the nurse, but if someone doesn't know what to do, don't blame this king for being polite!" Do you understand what this king means? ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand!" Commander Qin hurriedly agreed.
"Then stand down." Qi Yanxiao waved his hand and motioned for him to leave.
In the dead of night, he raised his head and looked out the window at the night, wondering if she was asleep?
Qi Dianxiao raised his feet and walked towards the door of the study, and came to the corner of the verandah, seeing that he was about to reach Qingyou Pavilion, he suddenly stopped, it's better not to disturb her rest.
