Chapter 567: Refusal
Mu Xiang lowered her eyes, "I like it, the slave likes it very much." Speaking a little unfavorably, Xiu's eyebrows furrowed, "It's just that young master, you treat the slave and maid too well, and the slave and maid are afraid that they will not be able to leave you in the future." Her voice grew smaller and quieter as she spoke, and at last she was almost the only one who could hear her.
The corners of Xue Shu's lips raised an arc, "If you can't leave, then don't leave, just stay." ”
When a woman reaches a certain age, she naturally wants to marry, according to common sense, if she is a child of a rich family, when she is fourteen years old, she will enter the palace to run for the triennial concubine, but according to Mu Xiang's family background, she is not qualified, just these, Xue Shu's heart is extremely relieved, but he seems to be happy too early.
Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince met Mu Xiang, he has never forgotten it, a background like Mu Xiang is nothing more than suitable for entering the palace to be a palace maid or something, in other words, if Mu Xiang really enters the palace, she may not be able to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince soon, unless His Royal Highness the Prince designates her to go over, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to see His Royal Highness the Prince for the rest of her life.
But Mu Xiang didn't think so much about it at this moment, the thing is like this, that is, after dawn, Xue Shu went out with breakfast, leaving only Mu Xiang alone, originally she didn't have much to do, so after the thing was done, she quickly became idle, as for the account room, she would only go over when Xue Shu was there, and the rest of the time, she couldn't enter, and Mu Xiang didn't force it.
However, Taohong was about to go out to buy some daily necessities and some food for Xiao Zhuyu, but she happened to see Mu Xiang as if she had seen a savior, and immediately came over, "Mu Xiang, are you free today?" ”
"Yes."
"That's right, you can accompany me to buy some daily necessities, and the lady said that she wants to buy some food."
"Huh? Food? This, the restaurant you opened, you have to go somewhere else to eat? ”
"Hey! I heard that before opening this restaurant, Mrs. would make a lot of pastries, such as crystal cakes and so on, and some had never even heard of the name, at that time, people simply felt that Mrs. was omnipotent, but since the restaurant opened, they didn't do what they liked to eat, basically based on the taste of customers, even if they made some crystal cakes and other things to sell as breakfast, ordinary people seem to can't afford it, but what about ordinary people, there are very few people to buy, so in the end, I only chose the kind of buns, steamed buns and the like that are very popular with the public, and they were quickly sold out after a while. ”
Mu Xiang just nodded, and later followed Taohong to a fabric shop, looking at this Taohong wanted to buy some fabrics, and its requirements were purchased according to Xue Bolian and Xiao Zhuyu's preferences, those fabrics were all of the highest quality, and at this moment, a high-headed horse passed by the market, and a little girl who was only about five or six years old was holding a windmill in the middle of the road.
Mu Xiang immediately rushed forward without thinking about it, and carried the girl in the middle of the road to the other side of the road, and the woman hurriedly said "thank you" and took the little girl away.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only heard the carriage stop suddenly, "What happened?" ”
"A little girl stopped in the middle, and then a maidservant girl took her away."
"Handmaiden?"
"Exactly, looking at it like that, this person must be extraordinary."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was even more curious after hearing this, and immediately walked out of the carriage, and saw Mu Xiang here, Mu Xiang saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming, and immediately saluted: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived, and the slave was quite offended." ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said: "Actually, it's not an offense, after all, you're just saving someone's life, but why are you here?" ”
"My young master has other things, as for the slave maid, it's just to accompany the other maidservants to buy some daily necessities."
"Oh."
"Recently, our palace needs to select some women from poor families from the people to enter the palace as palace maids, and this prince hopes that you can come."
After Peach bought the fabric, she found that Mu Xiang was not by her side for a while, and immediately walked out, just hearing the request made by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Mu Xiang, Peach was also very surprised after hearing it, seeing him like this, could it be? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the palace? Compared with Xue Shu, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince talks about his identity, it must be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is obviously much more noble, if she had to choose, she would naturally choose His Royal Highness the Prince, but unfortunately according to her background, she can only be suitable to be a palace maid.
As soon as I thought of this, the whole person suddenly wilted, in fact, the peach was not bad, but compared with Mu Xiang, it was still more tender in the end, I thought Mu Xiang would agree, but Mu Xiang directly refused, "I'm sorry, His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave and maid may have to live up to your good intentions, the slave and maid feel that there is nothing wrong with being this maid in Xue Mansion, the slave and maid are born with a free nature, the slave and the maid have already heard of it, there are too many rules and regulations in the palace, if this is a little careless, the slave and the maid are afraid of this little life...... Therefore, I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can take back Fang Cai's words. ”
"You don't need to refuse so quickly, in three days, Prince Ben will come again, I hope you can give the most correct answer."
Mu Xiang's face did not have too much expression, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already left, and when he left, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recalled that the emperor had warned him in the past, don't be too reluctant to others, if others don't want to agree, it's just that, and once mentioned it repeatedly, "Although we are a royal family, extremely noble, even if we are willing to follow you, we are just afraid of your imperial authority, so they have become very obedient, but in fact, how many people can understand the hidden thoughts in their hearts?" ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually didn't want to do this in his heart, if it was another woman, he couldn't wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to look for him every day, but Mu Xiang was different, she was not interested in His Royal Highness the Prince, and she was not interested in the so-called Crown Princess, she just wanted to be able to stay by Xue Shu's side, after all, the relationship between the two of them, no matter who they were, was incomparable.
Taohong heard Mu Xiang's refusal, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately greeted her, "Mu Xiang, why don't you go with His Royal Highness the Prince?" Maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is more capable of protecting you than the young master, and besides, you can be favored by His Royal Highness the Prince, which can't be found with a lantern, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has a good impression of you! ”
