Chapter 224: Thinking of Non-Division
If these words you say are heard by others, this concubine will not be able to save you at that time. ”
The princess's words made the two maids realize that they had said the wrong thing, and they hurriedly closed their mouths and stopped chewing on the root of their tongues.
But seriously, the crown princess was also suspicious of this in her heart, originally thought that the sisters were working together to break the gold, but who knew that the two of them seemed to have a narrow road to the enemy, but they also felt pity for the one named Chi Wan.
However, the crown princess didn't want to meddle in this matter, but what she didn't expect was that one day later, she was still entrusted to save Chi Wan's life.
In the next few days, Chi Xia has been tying Chi Wan to her side every day on the grounds of being good sisters to each other, letting her serve her food, clothing, shelter and sleep, sometimes asking her to help her serve tea and water, and sometimes letting her mop the floor and clean, which can be described as doing everything.
However, it was precisely because Chi Wan was here that the other maids were happy, and the burden on their bodies was much lighter, and even because a maid scolded Chi Wan for not washing her clothes cleanly, she was praised by Chi Xia, and they all bullied Chi Wan together.
And poor Chi Wan had to work hard every day, without enough food and clothing, and had to be beaten and suffered, worked hard and complained, and slept in the firewood room to live a life that was inferior to pigs and dogs.
However, this did not break her, she was still strong and diligently completed the tasks assigned to her by Chi Xia every day, working day and night.
Chi Xia drank tea with a few degrees, and she remembered clearly which clothes needed to be washed. Sometimes Chi Xia, who did things perfectly, didn't know where to scold her, and finally had to find some far-fetched reasons to say that she was not good.
In this way, day after day, Chi Wan has become handy with everything she has to do, and gradually gets used to it, Chi Xia will not do anything excessive except for scolding, as long as Chi Wan lets her scold happily, she doesn't have to worry about anything else.
It's just recently, Ji Wan always feels that something is wrong - the prince. The prince's eyes gradually became more and more strange, and it was normal at first, but gradually Chi Wan found that the prince always came to meet her intentionally or unintentionally, and even ate his own tofu.
For example, just now, when she went to the small kitchen to make a snack for Chi Xia Duanxin, she happened to meet the prince on the way back.
This is a normal thing, and there is always the possibility of chance encounters under the same roof. Chi Wan also saluted politely and was about to leave, but the prince dodged and blocked her way.
"Why, where are you going in such a hurry?" The prince smiled playfully, he stretched out his hand and brushed the hair around Chi Wan's ear, which was so ambiguous that it made Chi Wan's heart furious.
She took two steps back in fear and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I still have to send desserts to the side concubine, so I will leave first." ”
"Don't be in a hurry." Once again, the prince blocked her way, and at once he lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what is this going to do!" Because Ji Wan was still holding something in her hand, she couldn't dodge, so naturally she couldn't escape. She stepped back and he approached until she cornered Ji Wan.
Recently, the prince has been more and more concerned about Chi Wan, first attracted by her appearance, she is elegant and vulgar, and has a light spirit, which is the temperament that those plain clothes can't stop. The air is like a quiet orchid, which makes people take pictures of it, and sighs that there will be such a pearl and jade-like handsome and extremely handsome superlative.
In addition, she is Xie Yutang's favorite person, and Xie Yutang is the prince's opponent. The prince is good at grabbing by nature, and he likes to grab things that don't belong to him, not to mention that this beauty is a rare thing in the world, so it is naturally rare to meet, how can he not rob it when he sees it?
"His Royal Highness the Prince, if you are seen by others like this, you will ......"
"There's no one here." The prince couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ji Wan's blushing and heartbeat, he felt that this woman was really getting more and more interesting.
Syllable! The sound of the plate breaking, Chi Wan doesn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one now, she doesn't want to be taken advantage of by the prince, it's a big deal to be eaten by Chi Xia, but she can't argue with the prince when she is seen like this.
She freed her hand and pushed the prince violently, this force was not small, the completely unsuspecting prince was pushed and stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and Chi Wan took advantage of this time to run away.
When she did this, the prince was not angry, and watching her flee in a hurry, the prince felt more and more interesting. The desire in his heart was even more uncontrollable, he wanted to get her, he wanted to have her, he wanted her to be his own.
Ji Wan fled, and she ran back to Chi Xia's courtyard in shock, leaning against the wall and gasping for breath.
The scene just now was still in her mind, she was born with displeasure and even disgust, she hated being so close to the opposite sex she didn't like, and she didn't like someone to just covet her face and like herself.
"Hey, where did my snacks go!" Chi Xia was very angry when she saw Chi Wan's down-and-out appearance, and even more when she saw that she didn't bring back her own snacks.
Chi Wan naturally didn't dare to tell her what had just happened, if she knew that the prince had a wrong idea about her, she would not faint on the spot.
She had no choice but to conceal the facts, admit her mistake to Chi Xia and say, "I'm sorry, I accidentally knocked it over." ”
Hmph, Chi Xia thought to herself, I have been caught making mistakes in the past few days, see if I will let you go this time?
Chi Xia scolded: "What's the matter with you, you can't do this little thing, how do you say you pay for my snacks!" ”
She scolded for a long time, and when she was too happy to scold, she left angrily, and before leaving, she didn't forget to tell Chi Wan to go and tell the small kitchen to make a new one.
Chi Xia returned to the room, and suddenly a subordinate asked to take the initiative to see Chi Xia, and after Chi Xia let her in, the maid told Chi Xia: "Concubine Niangniang, you must not keep that Chi Wan by your side as a maid." ”
"Why?" Chi Xia was puzzled, Chi Wan could not only use it to vent her anger for herself, but also the good things she could do, why couldn't she keep her by her side?
"Because the slave and maid found out...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to like her! The maid said, "Recently, the side concubine took her out, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince always couldn't help but look at her, and just now, I also saw her and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince having a private meeting!" ”
"Cut, you're a little maid, I'm afraid it wasn't the crown princess who sent her to sow discord, do you think I'll believe what you say?"
Chi Xia didn't care at all, but the maid said, "Concubine Side, what the slave said is all true!" ”
"As far as she usually dresses like this, it's strange that her husband can look at it! I still know in my heart what kind of person my husband is, and I don't need you to chew my tongue here with me. ”
"But Her Royal Highness the side concubine ......"
"Okay, don't say any more, someone will kick her out!"
Chi Xia turned his head and stopped looking at the maid, and Chi Xia's words felt that it was a fantasy. You must know that the prince is a person who lives in the palace, and he doesn't see too many beauties.
Chi Wan is not even as good as a beggar, how could the prince take a fancy to her?
Although Chi Xia didn't believe it, she left an eye in her heart, and she also thought about whether she should not find some more torn clothes for Chi Wan to wear, or deliberately stain her face, so that the prince could not be interested at all.
There are too many ways to trick her, the more Chi Xia thinks about it, the more she starts to think about it, she doesn't know that half of what the maid said just now is the truth, the prince really likes Chi Wan, and even wants to plot against her!
Chi Wanke is a clean and self-righteous person, she does not tend to be inflammatory, unlike Chi Xia who was with the prince for fame and fortune, she couldn't wait to stay away when she saw people like the prince.
So recently, Chi Wan has been avoiding the prince intentionally or unintentionally, sometimes Chi Xia takes her to let her serve dinner, and she will offer to wait outside the door; She will pick some roads that the prince usually does not pass by, and even do not hesitate to take detours.
She didn't even need to be forced by Chi Xia to take the initiative to dress herself up as ugly, she used some special potions to make her face have acne, or applied black paint to her face to imitate freckles.
However, none of this seemed to be of much use, and the prince's interest in her was still very high, which was easy to see, which made Ji Wan feel very desperate.
She found that the prince was no longer simply liking his face, and the competitive psychology in his heart made him imperative to get himself, and it was this psychology that made him almost impossible to hide his thoughts now, and even openly flattered himself in front of the two concubines.
If it goes on like this, it's not just Chi Xia, even the crown princess who didn't plan to meddle in herself and didn't exist would be very angry. If you provoke her, you won't have any good fruit to eat.
Chi Wan simply picked a day and took the initiative to talk to Chi Xia, and she said to Chi Xia: "Concubine Fang, I think it's better for me to stay in the yard and do chores, so don't take me out." ”
This is exactly what Chi Xia wants, and she has recently noticed a hint of something wrong, and the two seem to have this sign. However, Chi Xia had no evidence, and he couldn't directly question the prince, so he hid this doubt in his heart.
Now Chi Wan just offered to stay in the courtyard, which is equivalent to completely cutting off the opportunity to meet the prince, why not?
Chi Xia said: "That's fine, it's also suitable for you to stay in the yard and do rough work, so as not to go out and frighten your husband." ”
"Yes, thank you for the success." Chi Wan was satisfied, now it's okay, even if the prince comes to find her later, she will be preempted by Chi Xia, after all, she is a legitimate concubine.
In this way, there is no need to meet with the prince, and Chi Wan's hanging heart fell. However, what she didn't expect was that the prince was not so easy to deal with, and people would go crazy when they were in a hurry.
The prince didn't see Chi Wan for a few days, and when he asked Chi Xia, he said that Chi Wan was doing chores in the yard, and he took the initiative to look for her, and every time he was pulled by Chi Xia, his heart was now full of Chi Wan's figure, lingering.
