Volume 1: The Palace's Storm Chapter 52: Xiao Qi's gaffe
"I'm nothing." Lu Ziyue shook his head, "The prince doesn't need to take what I just said to heart, it's just nonsense, it's just that it's not early now, and the imperial doctor also said that I haven't been in good health lately and I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for the prince to stay overnight, so I have already cleaned up a place for the prince in the courtyard." ”
Shen Xie's hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, and he nodded: "I understand what the imperial doctor said, you can rest by yourself, if you need anything at night, just tell Mu Hua, don't wronged yourself." ”
After Shen Xie finished speaking, he took a piece of braised pork and took a bite, then frowned and threw the rest of the braised pork into the plate: "You're right, the people in the small kitchen are becoming less and less innovative in cooking, and the braised pork that used to be the best now tastes tasteless, but I don't know why?" ”
After saying this, he put down the chopsticks in his hand and got up to leave, Mu Hua saluted at the door and then came in to look at Lu Ziyue, who also had a bad face, and she asked worriedly: "What happened to the prince just now?" When he left, his face was a little ugly. ”
"It's not the first time he's left here, his face is ugly, what's there to ask?" Lu Ziyue pushed the white fungus lotus seed soup aside, she raised her head and stared at Mu Hua tightly, the light refracted in those eyes was particularly oppressive at the moment.
"Why did the prince suddenly send a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup to the palace? When I asked you to give you the bowl to eat, did you quietly take it behind my back and give it to him to eat? ”
Mu Hua didn't expect Lu Ziyue to know about this matter, she hurriedly knelt on the ground: "There is a reason for this matter, Mu Hua just felt that the relationship between the princess and the princess was really a little stiff, but the princess, you were pregnant at that time, and the slave was worried that you and the princess would affect your status in the palace, and they were also worried that the prince would have a grudge with the princess, so he made this decision, and asked the princess to forgive her sins." ”
"When does Bengu need you to think about these things for Bengu?"
Lu Ziyue became more and more annoyed in her heart, Mu Hua was not caring about her at all, but making the originally simple things more and more complicated.
Shen Xie had been trying to maintain a delicate balance before, and the two of them had not yet received a unified answer in the matter of the Great Yue Kingdom, so even though they both had feelings for each other, they were both temporarily suppressing this feeling.
The two parties have never taken the initiative to please anyone, and they have never thought of making new progress in their relationship at this time, but Mu Hua took the initiative to send a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup to Shen Xie, and said that she picked it herself, which was undoubtedly telling Shen Xie that Lu Ziyue already had a mind to reconcile.
But this was not her original intention at the beginning, but now looking at Mu Hua's face is even more ugly.
Mu Hua's body trembled slightly, she did think that Lu Ziyue would be angry because of this matter at first, but she never expected her to be so angry, and wanted to speak to defend herself, but saw that Lu Ziyue's face became more and more unkind.
She kept her head down tightly, and for a moment she looked particularly pitiful.
But Lu Ziyue felt that she was even more pitiful than her, she held her stomach and gasped: "You obviously didn't have the same heart as the palace when you did this, since this is the case, there is no need to continue to follow the side of the palace, tomorrow the palace will tell the prince to find another way out for you, no matter who you want to follow, but this palace will not dare to continue to use you no matter what." ”
"Princess, Mu Hua was originally specially given to the princess by the prince, if you don't use Mu Hua now, the princess will feel that Mu Hua has completely lost any use value, in this situation, if the prince feels that a person has no use value, this person will be abolished."
She was scared in her heart, knelt down and took a few steps forward and grabbed Lu Ziyue's trouser leg: "This matter is Mu Hua's lard blinded heart, and he didn't think clearly for a while, so he went against the princess's mind, Mu Hua swore that there would never be a next time, and asked the princess to forgive Mu Hua a lot this time." ”
She said pitiful, Lu Ziyue also softened a little, she knew what kind of person Shen Xie was, and she also knew how pitiful the fate of people who lost their use value to him was, but these were never an excuse for a person to betray his master.
When she was about to open her mouth to refute Mu Hua's thoughts, she saw that her body was trembling all the time, and that kind of fear from her heart made Lu Ziyue feel a little empathy for a while.
She turned her head sideways, and after all, she was still a little unbearable: "In this case, this palace will forgive you magnanimously this time, but Mu Hua, since you are a smart person, you should understand that what smart people have to do is called smart things, when they serve their masters, they never think about speculating on the master's mind, nor do they act behind the master's mind, do you understand this?" ”
"Don't worry, the princess, Mu Hua promises that there will never be a next time, and in the future, Mu Hua will definitely follow the princess's wishes."
Seeing that Lu Ziyue was finally relieved, she was grateful in her heart, and quickly raised her head and said with tears in her eyes.
Lu Ziyue was going to train her two more sentences with a shelf, but when she saw her crying so sadly and a little unbearable, she picked up the silk handkerchief that was put aside to wipe away her tears, and then patted her hand and said: "This palace knows that you are doing it for the good of this palace, but Mu Hua, whether a person is good or not does not need others to judge, the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, this sentence is not necessarily completely correct, you only need to follow the meaning of this palace to do things in the future, and the matter of white fungus lotus seed soup will not happen again next time." ”
The silk handkerchief was wet after being stained with tears~ Wet folds, it was impossible to continue to use it, she just stuffed the silk handkerchief into Mu Hua's hand: "The palace doesn't have the heart to continue eating now, you remove all these things, by the way, you don't have to wait by your side after you take it down, you are tired of the carriage and horses today, go back to the room and rest early." ”
She got up on her stomach and sat down on the soft couch, and then picked up a small belly pocket from the small table beside her.
This is something she has been embroidering since she was in the palace, but because she has some things to do on weekdays, the progress is not good, and she herself is in a very impetuous mood in the palace.
But now it is much better to go to Lingshan, Lu Ziyue plans to embroider this belly pocket flower for a day or two, and then go to ask the powerful embroiderer to embroider a small hat for the child.
Although she can't say anything excited about this child, it has to come out of her belly no matter what, no matter what else, just as her mother, Lu Ziyue has to do her best.
The place where Hanxueyuan Lu Ziyue lived was quiet again, but the other side was a little lively.
Shen Xie sat on the soft couch with a coat and looked at Xiao Qi, whose hands were wrapped, and there was a little worry between his eyebrows: "Why was it so careless that he was injured just after coming up?" ”
After he asked Xiao Qi to sit down, he took a jar of medicine from the cabinet next to him and handed it to her: "This is a medicine specially used to treat frostbite, and you can use it with confidence from the military." ”
Xiao Qi nodded and took the medicine from his hand: "The prince actually doesn't have to worry too much about Xiao Qi, today when Xiao Qi was just frostbitten, the princess had already taken Xiao Qi to see the imperial doctor, and then took Xiao Qi to personally go to the person in charge of the famous mountain to get the medicine, and now it is much better than when he was frostbitten just now." ”
She smiled and put the medicine aside, and then lifted the two pairs of hands that had been wrapped like pig's trotters at the moment, with a hint of ridicule in her eyes: "Fortunately, when I was frostbitten, I was on this spiritual mountain, and there was not much heat, otherwise if it was below, Xiao Qi would really worry about whether these hands would rot." ”
"What do you do every day thinking about what you don't have? If it is really underneath, your hands will not be frostbitten, and even if something goes wrong, this king will find the most powerful doctor in the world to diagnose and treat your hand, what it should look like in the future. ”
Shen Xie was slightly displeased, he didn't like Xiao Qi's jokes about his body.
"If that's the case, it's Xiao Qi's gaffe."
She was a little embarrassed to put her hand back, and her face was a little more correct: "After all, this matter is just an accident, there is nothing to keep saying, but today Xiao Qi and the princess are together and found something abnormal, the princess saw that Xiao Qi's hand was injured and wanted to send Sister Mu Hua over to serve Xiao Qi, this matter was originally not in line with etiquette, even if the princess was worried about Xiao Qi's hand, but Xiao Qi also had a bean by his side to take care of, they all said that there must be a demon when things go wrong, although Xiao Qi respects the princess, But I have to think carefully about this matter. ”
"You're right, it's not in line with etiquette for the princess to send the people around him to serve you, she is a princess of a country, she has been familiar with the etiquette of various countries since she was a child, and she will never make such a low-level mistake, it seems that the reason why she wants to come to this Lingshan is not as simple as you and I imagined at the beginning."
Shen Xie's eyes: "Have you ever found out that the princess has been in contact with any stranger today?" ”
"I haven't found it, but it's not easy to say, everyone is tidying up things in their respective yards today, and they can't take care of these for a while, but if the princess came to this spiritual mountain from the beginning, her mind was not pure, then she would definitely show her feet, but now it's different, since the prince has come to the spiritual mountain, then the corresponding secret guard can also be arranged, as long as the princess dares to see those who shouldn't be seen at this pass, the secret guard will definitely be able to find out."
