Chapter 60: Birthday Turmoil (2)
Meng Xiaoran's alertness allowed her to successfully avoid this conspiracy, but there is a saying in this world that no coincidence is not a book, when she walked along the path on the right, she met two or three people, and when she saw her, she immediately shouted.
"Who?" The voice was shrill and piercing, and Meng Xiaoran immediately lowered his head and replied, "The slave maid is from the big kitchen, and she came to deliver desserts to the distinguished guests on the orders of the master. ”
She looked at the people not far in front of her, one of them was dressed luxuriously, it must be some kind of distinguished guest, at this moment, she caught a glimpse of a figure approaching her, and finally stopped in front of her, she saw him wearing a python robe, her heart was shocked, she knew that in ancient times, only a person with such a noble status as the prince and prince could wear a python robe, and there would be a person with such an identity in the house today, could it be the four princes?
Just thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, a strong smell of wine hit his nose, and a hand stretched out towards him, Meng Xiaoran immediately subconsciously dodged, and the next moment there was an angry reprimand on the side, "Bold, dare to be disrespectful to the four princes!" ”
It's really the Four Princes! Meng Xiaoran secretly said in his heart that it was not good, he lowered his head and didn't dare to get angry, and then he heard a low laugh from the top of his head, "Xiao Lizi, don't be like this, it's not good to frighten the beauty." ”
The palace people on the side immediately didn't dare to say much, stood aside and stopped talking, Dongfang Jue had a smile in his eyes, and said: "Uncle let me make dessert, it just so happens that this palace is hungry, bring it over." After speaking, he walked over and walked towards the road where Meng Xiaoran came.
Meng Xiaoran was in a state of confusion, she didn't expect Liu Ruxue to arrange it like this today, although she could beware of other things, but the person in front of her was the prince, how could she have the ability to fight?
Seeing that she was stunned and didn't leave, Xiao Lizi, the palace man on the side, frowned unhappily, "Don't hurry up and keep up!" ”
Meng Xiaoran came back to his senses at this time, so he had to follow hard, and he didn't walk long before he heard the voice of the little maid just now, "See the fourth prince." ”
Dongfang Jue ignored her and walked straight forward, and after she left, the little maid raised her head and saw Meng Xiaoran walking behind, with a touch of joy in her eyes, Meng Xiaoran saw it in her eyes, and she already understood in her heart that this maid must have been bought by Liu Ruxue.
Meng Xiaoran followed Dongfang Jue into the room where he was resting, she kept her head down, put down the food box without saying a word, took out the wine-stuffed balls inside and put them on the table, "Fourth prince, please use it." With that, he stepped aside.
She kept her head down, but people like Dongfang Jue who had seen countless beauties naturally saw her beauty at a glance, no matter how she lowered her head, she couldn't stop it, Dongfang Jue sat at the table, drank a sip of sweet soup, and then said to her: "You come here." ”
How bold is she to disobey the prince's orders? Meng Xiaoran walked over resignedly, and stopped some distance away from him, who knew that Dongfang Jue was not satisfied, and glanced at her again, his eyes were full of light and a hint of banter when he saw his prey.
"You look like a prey that has seen a beast of prey, what's wrong, you think this palace will eat you?"
"Slaves don't dare." Meng Xiaoran hung his head and replied.
Dongfang Jue hooked his lips and smiled, "Since that's the case, then you raise your head and let this palace take a look." ”
Meng Xiaoran had already felt the teasing in Dongfang Jue's words, and she also understood that it was useless for her to lower her head like this, so she had to raise her head as he commanded.
Dongfang Jue's eyes flashed with a touch of amazement, he just saw her beauty from the outline, but he couldn't help but be surprised when he really saw it, even if he had seen so many beauties, the one in front of him was really outstanding, and he couldn't imagine that there was such a beautiful maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Dongfang Jue is the son of the queen, naturally he is extremely noble, although he has not yet married a concubine, but after he and the crown, the queen quietly selected many good women with good looks and figures to serve him, so he can be regarded as a long-standing woman, at this time, with the intention of wine, looking at the beauty in front of him, his heart is inevitably hot.
He stood up and walked over, Meng Xiaoran's whole body stiffened, and he became vigilant, Dongfang Jue stretched out his hand to pinch her chin and raised it slightly, looking carefully at the delicate little face in front of him, and was about to come over.
Meng Xiaoran finally couldn't help but dodge, at this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared outside the house, all of them were young nobles, who came to visit the four princes after sobering up in the courtyard, and when they saw such a scene, they instantly understood what was going on, and everyone smiled knowingly.
At this time, Liu Chengyue, the merry second young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, stood up and smiled, "If the fourth prince likes it, Chengyue will be the master and give you the girl Lufu." ”
Liu Chengyue's reputation is naturally known to everyone, although he is very disdainful in his heart, but this time his explicit words are obviously right to the thoughts of the four princes, and everyone naturally responds to peace.
Meng Xiaoran couldn't wait to rush over and tear Liu Chengyue's mouth at this moment, just when she was desperate and helpless, a person stood up and bowed to Dongfang Jue, "The four princes atone for their sins, don't hide it, Lu Fu and Ziqing have already made a private agreement for life, and I hope that the four princes will spare her for the crime of disrespect, if she just offended the four princes without being sensible, then Ziqing is here to make amends for her." As he spoke, he bowed again.
Meng Xiaoran looked at Lu Ziqing who was bowing, and was shocked, but she knew that she couldn't behave abnormally at this time, so she knelt on the ground after thinking about it, and said to the four princes: "Your Highness atoned for your sins, the slave and maid were ignorant, and they collided with Your Highness, and please punish Your Highness." ”
The two sang and sang and harmonized the atmosphere in the room to the freezing point, Dongfang Jue's face was very bad, he stared at the two people in front of him with sharp eyes, his expression changed and changed, and after a long time, he suddenly smiled, "Lu Gongzi is polite, get up quickly, it's just a trivial matter, it doesn't have to be like this." ”
That being said, everyone understands that Lu Ziqing has offended the four princes severely, and I am afraid that there will be no good life in the future.
After this, the four princes got up and returned to the palace with the palace people, and all the princes dispersed when they saw this, and the matter quickly spread, and the news that Lu Fu and the young master had made a private lifelong agreement quickly spread.
Liu Ruxue, who had been waiting for news in the Ruxue Pavilion, was furious when she heard the news of Chunya's return, and immediately hurried to the main courtyard, and happened to meet two people walking together one after the other on the way, and rushed up without saying a word and gave Meng Xiaoran a slap.
Meng Xiaoran could have dodged this slap, but she suddenly didn't want to hide, just to let Lu Ziqing see Liu Ruxue's true face, so that she would never want to get the favor of her sweetheart, Liu Ruxue's several frames really angered her completely, in this case, she will no longer be as forbearant as before, and the new and old hatreds will be counted together.
A rare look of anger appeared on Lu Ziqing's face, pulled Meng Xiaoran behind him, and then looked at Liu Ruxue coldly, "It doesn't seem good for my cousin to come up and beat people without asking." ”
When Liu Ruxue saw her sweetheart talking about herself like this, she didn't want to be wronged in her heart, and then looked at Meng Xiaoran, her eyes were full of hatred.
"Cousin, she's just a lowly subordinate, and you actually said me for her?"
Lu Ziqing glanced at her and said, "From now on, she is no longer a subordinate, she is my person." After speaking, he pulled Meng Xiaoran and left.
Liu Ruxue stood in place with a stunned expression, and Chunya beside her looked at her young lady with some concern, and after a long time, she shouted tentatively: "Miss...... Yes! ”
As soon as she shouted, Liu Ruxue turned around and slapped her, and said viciously: "It's obviously arranged seamlessly, why does my cousin appear there?" Didn't you ask someone to add some ** to his wine? ”
Chunya covered her face and knelt on the ground, crying and said: "Miss, the slave maid doesn't know what's going on, the slave maid has obviously arranged it, watching them smear medicine on the young master's wine glass, and the young master also drank wine, the slave and maid really don't know why the young master is here." ”
The matter has come to this, it is useless to say more, Liu Ruxue has unwilling tears in her eyes, and she turned to leave, and Chunya immediately stood up when she saw this, and followed her cautiously.
Lu Ziqing took Meng Xiaoran's wrist and walked for a long time, and after leaving the main courtyard, she gently broke free, the two did not speak, walking one after the other, and after returning to Moyuzhai, the people in the courtyard saw the people following behind Lu Ziqing, and they all peeked with some curiosity.
They had already heard about this matter, so they were naturally very curious about who the person who had made a private lifelong decision with the young master was sacred, and when they saw Meng Xiaoran, they immediately nodded as if they understood, no wonder they could get into the eyes of the young master and look like this, no wonder the young master did not hesitate to offend the four princes for her.
At the same time, some people shook their heads, and secretly sighed in their hearts that Meng Xiaoran was a disaster, causing his master to offend the four princes, and he didn't know what would happen in the future?
Everyone's eyes fell on Meng Xiaoran, which made her very uncomfortable, she followed Lu Ziqing without saying a word, walked through the front yard to the backyard, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, the backyard is where Lu Ziqing rests, no one can enter and exit at will here, Lu Ziqing only allows his personal attendant Lanyue to come in, and everyone else can only do things in the outer courtyard.
Lu Ziqing took Meng Xiaoran into a room and said to her: "You will live here in the future, and I will ask Lanyue to bring someone to clean it up later." ”
Meng Xiaoran saw him turn around and leave, and couldn't help but call out to him, "Master Lu......"
Lu Ziqing turned to look at her, there was a light in her eyes that she couldn't understand, Meng Xiaoran bit her lip, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence, "Today, why do you want to help me?" ”
Lu Ziqing suddenly smiled, "If I don't help you, you will be sent to the Four Princes' Mansion by the Prime Minister's Mansion, are you willing?" ”
"I don't want to, but I want to know, why did you help me, why did you say that?" Meng Xiaoran looked at him and asked all the doubts in his heart.
"I don't want you to fall in the backyard of the Four Princes' Mansion from now on, I know you definitely won't want to, so I helped you." Lu Ziqing looked at her and said with a serious face, the affection in her eyes made Meng Xiaoran's heart palpitate.
She opened her eyes and said, "But today you offended the four princes, and you will ...... in the future."
"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own plans." Lu Ziqing interrupted her words and smiled again, "You have a good rest, I'll go first." With that, he left.
