24. Chapter 24
When the waterboat came back with Ku'er, the sun had set, and the snowflake horse was handed over to the next person, and the two returned home hand in hand.
The old lady's maid Lian'er suddenly appeared in front of the two, unprepared, and was startled by Lian'er.
The water boat's face was gloomy, but because this was the person next to his grandmother, he was not angry, so he just opened his mouth unhappily and persuaded him: "Lian Po, you are old, it is better to let the maid talk about something in the future." "This old man not only walked without a sound, but also had a terrifying face, and liked to appear suddenly, who could stand it.
Lian'er's expressionless face still didn't make waves, and she was slightly blessed to salute the waterboat, and her voice was cold: "The old lady asked Ku'er to go over." ”
Ku'er and the waterboat looked at each other, and the waterboat held Ku'er's hand tightly, walked towards the old lady's yard, and asked as she went, "Grandma, what's the matter with Ku'er?" ”
"Little prince," Lian'er suddenly appeared in front of the two again, "The old lady only let Ku'er go alone. ”
The water boat's face was even more unhappy, and she wanted to open her mouth to reprimand Lian'er, but she was held by Ku'er's hand, she soothed the water boat's emotions: "The old lady is looking for me, maybe there is really something, I'll go over first, you go back to the water boat first, Xue'er hasn't eaten for a day today, you go take care of Xue'er." ”
Ku'er said this, and after adding that he really couldn't refute his grandmother's order, he nodded sullenly, glanced at Lian'er and turned back to the water boat house.
Ku'er watched him leave, and bowed slightly to Lian'er: "I'm tired of Lian Po leading the way." ”
Lian'er glanced at her expressionlessly and walked towards the old lady's courtyard.
Ku'er followed behind, but she was worried in her heart, what did the old lady do with herself? Or is it still a matter of the young master marrying the princess, why do they each regard themselves as a stumbling block for the princess to enter the mansion? The young master and himself are just the relationship between the master and the maid.
When she arrived at the old lady, Ku'er's brows furrowed almost invisibly when she saw Shen Ruosu, but she quickly covered up the past by kneeling and saluting, and she said goodbye: "Ku'er greets the old lady, and greets the princess." ”
"Sister Ku'er, hurry up." Shen Ruosu hurriedly stood up from the old lady's side, went over to help Ku'er get up, looked back at the old lady and said with a smile: "Auntie, see that Su'er didn't lie to you, this Ku'er sister is a real beauty." ”
The old lady stretched out her hand to Shen Ruosu and asked her to go over, looking at Ku'er with a little displeasure, she used to know that this maid was deeply loved by her grandson, and she had seen her a few times from afar, but now when she looked closely, she found that the use of this maid was almost the same as her grandson. She broke the rules, touched the princess's little hand lovingly, but when she looked at Ku'er, she was more stern, and her voice was not loud but majestic: "Ku'er, there must be rules in this palace, the boat is a man, don't you understand this, don't you understand?" ”
Ku'er knelt down suddenly, she understood what the old lady meant, she didn't defend herself, and she should be charged with all the crimes: "Yes, what the old lady taught is that Ku'er should keep it in mind." ”
"Grandma~" Shen Ruosu looked at the old lady and leaned on her arms coquettishly, "Grandma, you see that you scared my sister." ”
The old lady felt more and more that Shen Ruosu was well-behaved and knew the general situation, patted her on the back lovingly, and instructed Lian'er: "Lian'er, you take the princess to the Treasure Pavilion first, and let her choose a few things she likes." "She obviously wants to take the princess away and talk to Ku'er in private.
Shen Ruosu looked at Ku'er who was kneeling on the ground, then looked at the old lady, and asked in a coquettish voice: "Grandma, you can't scare Sister Ku'er." ”
"Okay, my aunt and grandmother promise you, let's go out and play." The old lady watched Shen Ruosu leave, her loving face changed color instantly, she didn't mean to let Ku'er stand up, and said coldly: "Ku'er, I know that Dao Zhou'er loves you, but you also have to remember that a maid can only be a maid, even if the boat really accepts you in the future, you can only be a concubine." Looking at the docile maid on the ground, her tone was better, she took the tea, and took a sip gently, "You get up first." ”
"Thank you, old lady." Ku'er responded softly, stood up, and still bowed his head, without the slightest refutation or justification.
"You have also seen it now, the princess treats you like a sister, and if she serves you together in the same husband, you must also remember that you are a concubine after all." She has to explain this, otherwise, with the personality of her grandson, who knows if Lu Dao will make the princess suffer in the future.
Ku'er wanted to tell the old lady that she would leave, but suddenly thought about it and felt that it was unnecessary, and even if she did, the old lady would not believe in herself. She lowered her head and whispered: "Yes, Ku'er always remembers her identity, the princess is the master, how dare Ku'er compete with the princess for favor." ”
"It's good to understand, you go down." The old lady waved her hand to let Ku'er go down.
Ku Erfu retired, and sighed deeply when he got out of the courtyard, this is really not a place for her to stay for a long time, thinking of the emperor, his chest ached, and he was also one of the people who warned him.
When she looked up, she saw that the emperor not far away was looking at her, she lowered her eyes, and slowly went over to salute: "Ku'er has seen the emperor." ”
The emperor hasn't seen Ku'er since yesterday, but her painful eyes have been swirling in her mind, lingering. Seeing Ku'er at this moment, he found that he was eager to see this child, and he went over to help Ku'er up: "What are Ku'er going to do?" ”
Ku'er took a step back without a trace, still didn't look up, and said lightly: "The young master is still waiting for Ku'er to go back, and Ku'er has retired first." With that, he rushed away.
Shen Tianlong looked at Ku'er who was leaving quickly, and the sour feeling in his heart became more and more intense, and he could see that Ku'er had just been alienated from him. He knew that this was not the emotion that a maid should have, but he chose to indulge.
When Ku'er returned to the waterboat house, the waterboat was holding Xue'er and feeding her. When Xue'er saw Ku'er coming back, she immediately jumped out of the arms of the water boat and jumped into Ku'er's arms.
When Ku'er saw Xue'er, she was in a good mood instantly, hugged her and sat down at the table, put her on the table and continued to feed her.
The water boat looked at Ku'er as if nothing had happened, pushed the loose hair on her forehead behind her ears, and asked Ku'er lightly: "What did grandma tell you to go over?" ”
Ku'er fed Xue'er, and said casually: "It's nothing, it's just that the young master spoiled me too much, and the old lady asked me to go over and teach me the rules." She looked at the waterboat and smiled, "I know what the old lady means, and the old lady doesn't embarrass me, you don't have to worry." ”
The water boat looked at her with a deep darkness in his eyes, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking.
