Chapter 12: Be careful

Seeing that Cao Miao was distracted, Qingtao and Hongxing closed their mouths, for fear of disturbing Cao Miao.

Feeling that the atmosphere suddenly quieted down, Cao Miao immediately became alert, patted her mouth, yawned, and made a sleepy appearance.

Green peaches and red apricots breathed a sigh of relief. Qingtao got up and told Hongxing to prepare toiletries, go to the inner room to make the bed, and wait for Cao Miao to sleep. When she returned to the study, Hongxing hadn't come back yet, only Cao Miao leaned on the bookcase, supporting her forehead with one hand and flipping through the book with the other, taking care of herself.

"Prince, let the servant serve you today." Qingtao walked up to Cao Miao and said softly.

"No, I don't." Cao Miao didn't think much about it, and said casually. Not to mention that he has no sexual interest in the green peach that has not yet matured, even if he has, he can't do it today, and he has to visit Han Dong at night.

Qingtao fell to the ground and kowtowed. "The servant is guilty of a capital crime, please punish the prince."

Cao Miao stopped flipping through the book and looked at the green peach kneeling in front of her. "What is the sin?"

"The servant is dull and does not know. It's just that the prince used to be a bad man, and he was always served by a servant, but now he suddenly let the little slave replace the servant, presumably because the servant was not well served. ”

Cao Miao raised her eyebrows, and stopped talking. This is a troublesome matter, how to explain this change so as not to arouse suspicion?

He thought for a while, and said unhurriedly: "Qingtao, it's not that you didn't wait well, but that I killed someone in my dream, and I was afraid that I would hurt your life for no reason......"

Without waiting for Cao Miao to finish speaking, Qingtao said again: "In this case, the maid will go back to the outer room after serving the girl, and the prince will sleep alone." In this way, the king or the family asks about it, and the servant can deal with it. ”

Cao Miao scratched her head secretly. Qingtao reminded right, it may not matter what she thinks, the other people in the palace are suspicious and troublesome. The Yongqiu Mansion is not only their father and son, but also many officials such as family members. These people are nominally subordinate officials of the royal palace, but in fact they are all appointed by the imperial court, who knows which one is the eyes and ears?

In these years, the aristocracy was extremely poor and luxurious, the style of life was corrupt, and the profligate skeleton abounded. But he was not good at this before, and he suddenly changed his temperament, which inevitably caused unnecessary suspicion. Even if nothing happens in the end, it will attract the eyes of ulterior motives, which will have a lot of influence on his actions.

However, I really can't do anything to Qingtao. A fifteen-year-old girl, her nutrition can't keep up, she is as thin as a bamboo pole, and her small waist is more than A4, which is really only a hand. What kind of beast can endure destruction?

Well, it looks like that beast is who I used to be. But today's me is not yesterday's me, and I can't do this anymore.

People always have to have a bottom line, right?

Cao Miao's gaze swept back and forth on Qingtao's creeping body twice, and her heart lit up. "Qingtao, have you not had a good appetite lately?"

Qingtao raised her head and looked at Cao Miao in surprise. "Prince?"

Cao Miao retracted her gaze, frowning slightly, revealing a hint of disgust. "It's all bones, man."

"Uh......" Qingtao was speechless for a while, not knowing how to respond.

Cao Miao waved his hand. "Eat more good food, take care of your body, and then come to the bed."

Qingtao looked down at herself, crying and laughing. She didn't feel like she was thin, she always thought that was it. But since Cao Miao thinks she is awkward and doesn't let him serve, she can't insist that she is not awkward and can serve her?

At this time, Hongxing came in with a basin of water, and Qingtao got up and waited for Cao Miao to wash up with Hongxing. After washing her face and feet, Qingtao wiped Cao Miao's body again. Although it was already early summer and the weather was getting hotter, there was no condition to take a bath every day in the palace, so you could only wipe it with a cloth towel.

Cao Miao was helpless. He was really not used to being wiped by two little girls, and it was all over his body, but he had no reason to refuse.

You can't say that their hands are too cold.

What's even worse is that I don't know if Qingtao did it on purpose, so she took off her coat and left only a small coat on her upper body that could not cover her body, revealing a skin that was malnourished but still rich in collagen, and glowed blue and white under the dim light.

In order to avoid the little beast in his heart that he couldn't control and was seen by Qingtao, Cao Miao had nothing to say and divert his attention.

"Qingtao, I heard that you can compose poems?"

Qingtao was busy, and at the same time responded: "The prince doesn't say that Hongxing is nonsense, how can a maid compose poetry, it's just a childhood enlightenment, and I still remember a few words." ”

"How many years have you been in the house?"

"More than nine years."

"Do you remember your last name?"

Qingtao, who was wiping Cao Miao's back, moved slightly, paused for a moment, and then said, "What's the use of remembering." As an official slave and maid, I don't need it in this life. She glanced at Cao Miao, pursed her lips, and said, "Unless the prince inherits the title in the future, he can remove the slave status of the servant." ”

"Do you think I can?" Cao Miao said unhurriedly, not seeing too much emotion.

Qingtao hesitated for a moment, turned to Cao Miao, and fell to her knees. "Forgive the maid for being too talkative. If the prince can get better, even if he can't inherit the title, it is expected that he will be crowned a prince and a marquis. There is really a day when the slaves will be able to live a better life than they are now, whether they can get rid of their slavery or not. ”

Hongxing stood aside in a daze, and it wasn't until Qingtao pulled her that she reacted and knelt in front of Cao Miao.

Cao Miao looked at Qingtao, there was no expression on her face, but a trace of uneasiness flashed in her heart, and even a little annoyance. Obviously, Qingtao has already felt strange, she is taking the opportunity to test it, and even took the initiative to ask the waiter just now, she was careless for a while, and she has already revealed her flaws.

You can't despise the ancients. You think she's an insignificant trick, but who knows she's a hidden master.

However, Cao Miao thought about it and calmed down again. No matter how big her flaws are, and how smart Qingtao is, presumably she would not think of such a thing. Even if I change again, I am also Cao Miao and her master. If I am strong, it will only be good for her, not bad.

"Then be careful. Wait for the day when I make a prince and a marquis, and I will get rid of your nationality. ”

"Prince Xie." Qingtao cried with joy and kowtowed again and again. Although Hongxing didn't understand, she also knew that it was a good thing, and she also kowtowed. Cao Miao watched two coolly dressed underage girls pitching in front of her, and she couldn't deliberately remove her eyes, she couldn't help but be embarrassed, and the little beast was about to move.

Qing Tao caught a glimpse of the corner of her eyes, her face flushed slightly, she reached out to touch Cao Miao's knee, her fingers scratched intentionally or unintentionally, and her eyes were a little more moist. "Prince, servant...... Is it really skinny? ”

Cao Miao was embarrassed, forced to calm down, and sank his face. Qing Tao was startled, and hurriedly withdrew the hand that was being tested forward, got up, wet the cloth towel in the basin, and wiped Cao Miao's body.

Cao Miao was afraid of another accident, so she remained indifferent and didn't say a word until the green peach and red apricot went out of the door, and then let out a long breath. He closed the door, calmed down, adjusted his breathing, stretched his muscles and bones, and warmed up for today's action.

When he was almost ready, Ah Hu came back and pushed the door in, with a happy face.

"Prince, the defense assistant and Han Dong have bitten."
