"Sister Qingxiu, it's not that I deliberately want to hide it, but the National Teacher specially told me not to tell His Highness about this matter, for fear that His Highness will think too much or something, if you know, then isn't this matter equivalent to His Highness knowing? If the adults knew, they would definitely punish me, sister, you can do well, spare me. Xiao Hei folded his hands and pleaded.

Qingxiu frowned, and the doubts in her heart deepened.

In fact, she didn't think too much about it originally, but the pleading appearance in front of her was too much like wanting to cover up, so she was confused: "Who can make the National Normal University have such worries?" ”

Before Qingxiu could come up with a way to force the question, Xiao Hei had already quietly run away from his side.

His steps were already big, and Qingxiu couldn't catch up when he walked quickly, let alone run, and disappeared in an instant like oil on the soles of his feet, leaving only Qingxiu alone to stomp his feet angrily: "If you don't tell me, then I'll check it myself!" She is also in the house, can she still grow a pair of wings and fly out? Ask a lot, you can always find clues. ”

Qingxiu snorted coldly and turned her head to walk in the direction of the small courtyard.

Feng Changqi found that the maid beside her, Qingxiu, had been a little different recently, although she had been so busy with the child's affairs during this time that she didn't even have time to stop and take a breath, but she was still keenly aware of the changes in Qingxiu.

At first, Feng Changqi didn't take this matter to heart, after all, Qingxiu is also a human being, there are always times when she is uncomfortable or in a bad mood, as long as she recovers after a while, she will naturally recover, so she didn't ask much. It wasn't until the third day that Qingxiu was asked to make tea, but when the latter accidentally dropped the teacup to the ground, Feng Changqi noticed that something was wrong, and his slender eyebrows frowned slightly: "Qingxiu, you have been very different recently." ”

Qingxiu's action of picking up the pieces was frozen for a moment, and when she raised her head again, she already had a smile on her face: "Your Highness thinks that the slave maid is different?" ”

"You've been distracted lately."

Qingxiu is different from other maids, she once stayed in the palace for a while, and became one of Bai Huan's few cronies at a young age, which is enough to prove her caution, such as distraction and accidentally breaking the teacup, which Qingxiu would never have done before, and now she has broken the teacup twice in a row.

Feng Changqi said worriedly: "Is there something uncomfortable on your body, do you want to ask the doctor to come and take a look?" ”

Qingxiu shook her head silently.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Feng Changqi asked suspiciously, "You are like a different person than before. ”

Qingxiu chose to shake her head again, and her thin lips pursed into a red line. Her appearance made it clear that she didn't want to say more, Feng Changqi was so confused in her heart, and there was no reason to force people to speak, so she said helplessly: "That's it, if you don't want to say that I don't ask, I think this should be your private matter, but blame me for talking too much." Qingxiu, since you have something on your mind, let's rest first during this time, there is no shortage of people around me to serve, you go back first and take care of it, and then come back after recovery. ”

"Your Highness......."

Feng Changqi half-bent his eyes, and the smile on the corners of his lips was like a spring breeze: "You go, tell me if there is anything that can't be solved." ”

What Feng Changqi didn't know was that the more gentle and kind she was, the deeper the guilt in Qingxiu's heart would be.

It's just because she knows that Luo Lian'er and Yu are hopeless.

"Do you want to tell Your Highness about this?" Qingxiu's heart was entangled.

When she was pacing back and forth in the corridor, a maid hurriedly came behind her: "Sister Qingxiu, I heard the news of the guests in that small courtyard!" ”

Qingxiu's eyes lit up: "What do you say?" ”

The maid replied: "She personally admitted that she had something to do with the river god sacrifice, and said that she was almost sunk into the river, but fortunately, the national teacher and the Taishou arrived at the critical moment and saved her life, so she will have today, as for when she will leave, I haven't inquired yet." ”

The expression on Qingxiu's face instantly turned cloudy: "Is this different from not hearing any news?" ”

"This, at least a little bit, doesn't this show that the national teacher has no selfishness? Taishou-sama also knows about this....... In the past few days, the National Normal University has never been to see her, but only asked the doctor about the situation, but has not been there in person! ”

Qingxiu slapped the maid on the head: "This is not good, think about it carefully, when did the national teacher ever care so much about people other than His Royal Highness in the past?" There must be signs of this! ”

Don't look at Qingxiu's calm appearance, but in fact, she is extremely flustered, and all she thinks about is completely erasing the guest in Dongyuan! All things that may affect Her Royal Highness the Imperial Maiden must be extinguished before the signs appear.

Qingxiu narrowed her eyes slightly; "Don't tell Your Highness about this......."

Before Qingxiu finished her words of advice, a familiar voice came from outside the door: "I'm afraid it's too late." "Just love

The necks of the two seemed to be frozen, and little by little they turned in the direction where the voice came from, and they happened to see the scene of Feng Changqi slowly walking towards them.

Qingxiu's eyes darkened, and she almost fainted: "Your Highness, when did you come!" ”

Feng Changqi had a smile on the corner of his lips: "Just when you opened your mouth to say the first sentence, I was already standing here, I just wanted to go out for a walk, but I never expected to hear such an interesting topic." Qingxiu, you even hid it from me one day, I really ......."

A flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

This uncomplicated emotion is insignificant to others, but Yu Qingxiu is like a knife blade, easily piercing her psychological defense. I saw Qingxiu wave her hand again and again, and loudly defended herself: "Your Highness, you listen to the slave maid's explanation, things are not as you imagined at all, I have never tried to hide your thoughts, I am just afraid that you will be sad after knowing about this, so that's why——"

Feng Changqi raised his face, and there were eye waves in his clear eyes: "What are you hiding from me?" ”

Feng Changqi thought about it carefully, but she never thought of something that might make her sad, at the moment, except for the hopelessness of jade, there was also the matter of the child, nothing could stir the waves in her heart.

The more uneasy Qingxiu was, the more dazed Feng Changqi became.

In the midst of her persecution, Qingxiu was defeated: "Your Highness, it's not impossible to tell you about this matter, but before you say it, you have to promise me one thing, no matter what happens, you must stay calm, don't let yourself be sad, and don't think too much, can Your Highness do this little request?" ”

Feng Changqi nodded, and the doubts in his heart became deeper and deeper: "What is it that makes you so nervous." ”

Qingxiu followed A-Niang's side, what kind of wind and waves have you not seen? What exactly is she afraid of?

One moment Feng Changqi was still confused about this matter, but the next moment she understood.

"The National Teacher brought back a girl from outside." Qingxiu said as she carefully observed Feng Changqi's expression, for fear that she would be a little unhappy, "That girl, Your Highness, you have also heard of it. ”

"Oh? Who is it? Feng Changqi was silent on the surface, but nervous in her heart, which could be seen from the small movements of her tight sleeves.

"How come I've never heard anything about a girl from Master?"

"Xiao Hei said that the national teacher deliberately concealed ........"

As soon as the words fell, Qingxiu realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she couldn't wait to slap herself hard in order to get rid of the habit of being straightforward! She said helplessly: "The national teacher should not want His Highness to think too much, so he didn't mention the existence of that girl, the slave maid said that His Highness had heard about it, and he heard it from other people's mouths, Luo Lian'er, the third daughter of Luo Cheng Taishou, does Your Highness remember?" ”

The mist shrouded in Feng Changqi's heart was instantly blown away by the clouds and smoke, she frowned, and said with a complicated expression: "Is it her who the master brought back?" ”

Qingxiu agreed sullenly: "I brought it back three days ago, but the national teacher didn't want His Highness to know, so no one dared to tell His Highness." On that day, I happened to go out to buy pastries for His Highness, and I happened to bump into him, otherwise Xiao Hei wouldn't even tell me! I originally wanted to confess to His Highness, but in the past two days, the illness of the little boy has come and gone, Your Highness, you have worked hard for the little son, and the slave and maid really can't bear to let you suffer. ”

Feng Changqi half-closed his eyes, and said disappreciably: "I know that you are for my good, I have been really tired for the past two days, but now I have recovered." I've never heard Master mention her about her, Qingxiu, what did you inquire, why don't you tell me? ”

Although the expression on Feng Changqi's face was still smiling at this time, it looked no different from usual, but Qingxiu still saw the difference at first sight.

Your Highness is angry!

Realizing this, she no longer dared to hide it, and directly shook out all the things she had heard.

Speaking of Luo Lian'er's entry into Jiangcheng, Qingxiu said indignantly: "I really don't understand the mind of the national teacher, obviously Jiangcheng is so big, and there are places where people can be placed, but he just doesn't go, and insists on bringing people back to the mansion, alas, I don't want to think about His Highness's recent hard work, where can he bear more?" What's even more infuriating is that the lady who has some means to win people's hearts is quite good, even the county guard's wife, who has always been picky, likes her very much, and pulls her to talk every day, as if she is a long-lost relative! When I think of her, I get angry! ”

Feng Changqi's eyes swept away, and he seemed to smile and said, "What are you angry about?" ”

"Of course, the slave maid is upset for His Highness, and the National Teacher didn't even tell His Highness about bringing people back at the first time, isn't His Highness angry?"

Feng Changqi smiled and shook his head.

It's true that she feels a little uncomfortable, but when it comes to anger, she definitely doesn't, how can such a thing as being jealous appear to her: "I want to see her more than being angry and irritable." ”
