Chapter 7 Caught off guard
Chai Qingyue's simplicity caught Murong Sichen a little off guard: "Don't you ask what this palace wants you to do?" "You agreed so quickly, and you didn't ask what you were going to do, there is no regret in this world.
"As long as the rest of the family can be safe, Qingyue will do her best to use it for the prince." Chai Qingyue felt that his skills should not be able to be covered up in front of Murong Sichen, he was afraid that he would be clear, otherwise he would not let himself do things for him. Since he was doing things for others, he also took the initiative to change his name.
Murong Sichen sneered, and said unceremoniously, "I'm afraid I want to spend the rest of my life with your lover." "I can't wait to get rid of the relationship with myself, and I don't need a "concubine".
Chai Qingyue didn't care about so many rules now, and glared at Murong Sichen directly.
What a filial child. Murong Sichen sighed in his heart. It's a pity, just your little bit of caution, this palace only agreed to find an opportunity and leave, as for whether this opportunity can be found or not, when to find it is the palace has the final say. It's hard to meet such a person who can arouse your interest, haven't you had enough fun?
"Let's talk about the first thing." Murong Sichen changed to a businesslike tone, "Prime Minister Bai's daughter, Bai Chudie." ”
Chai Qingyue couldn't believe it when she heard Murong Sichen say the name of "Bai Chudie": "The eldest lady of the Bai family should be in love with you, right?" What does the prince need to be a concubine for? ”
Hearing that Chai Qingyue changed her self-proclaimed title to a "concubine", Murong Sichen couldn't help but be happy for a while, but said lightly: "It's nothing, just help me stop it." ”
"Stop?" Chai Qingyue didn't understand Murong Sichen's attitude a little, if you didn't have any intention of her, why don't you say it to her directly. Although Prime Minister Bai Cheng has a place in the court, you are a prince anyway, and you don't need to be so jealous of one of the other party's daughters.
Murong Sichen thought about it, how should he explain the stakes to Chai Qingyue: "Yes, stop it." You are the crown princess, and you will be more or less involved in the court in the future. ”
Murong Sichen could only think of such a vague statement, and he wasn't sure if Chai Qingyue could understand it. If you can understand it, if you can't, then there is nothing worth continuing to entrust yourself.
After listening to Murong Sichen's ambiguous answer, Chai Qingyue already knew it in her heart, so she replied, "The concubine knows what to do." ”
It seems that the court is not as calm as it looks on the surface, and I am afraid that the waves below are already turbulent.
Chai Qingyue's answer made Murong Sichen very satisfied, it didn't seem stupid.
"Since this is the case, then this agreement has been made with you, you do the first thing first." Murong Sichen got up, straightened the wrinkled dark colored robe, and left.
After making sure that Murong Sichen had left his Yingxue Pavilion, Chai Qingyue let go of the wide sleeve that had been grasped by his right hand. The corner that was caught in Chai Qingyue's hand just now was already wrinkled, and it seemed to be wet.
Chai Qingyue exhaled a long breath, and her heart finally fell back, it seems that she can spend the night safely, and she was still thinking that Murong Sichen insisted on staying for the night, what should she do?
"Who?" Chai Qingyue just let go of her hanging heart, and shouted outside the door again, "Who is outside the door?" ”
The red-lacquered door was pushed open, and a figure emerged from the darkness: "Returning to the crown princess, it's a slave whisper." Standing outside the door was the whisper of the girl who had just been reprimanded by Murong Sichen this afternoon.
"Oh, it's you." Hearing the voice of a maid, Chai Qingyue let it go again, "It's so late, what's the matter?" ”
Xiao Yu walked into the house, stopped about two or three meters away from Chai Qingyue, made a blessing salute to Chai Qingyue, and said softly: "The slave is here to serve the princess to sleep." ”
Xiao Yu felt that she had been scolded by Murong Sichen for no reason, the culprit should be Chai Qingyue, a rotten woman who should not have appeared, and a woman from the market also tried in vain to be a high-ranking princess? ! So if Chai Qingyue can do it, why can't she herself?
Although the girl in the same room is still a maid, she has also served the prince. If you can please the prince, you can also be promoted as a concubine, if the prince ascends the throne as the emperor, then his identity will be very different. Isn't it clear at a glance who has a high status and who has a low status between the lady in the palace and the Tongfang in the prince's mansion?
But Xiao Yu disdains that Chai Qingyue is a woman from the city, and seems to have forgotten what identity she entered the palace in the first place, and how she was given to the prince.
"Hongu doesn't want to sleep yet." Chai Qingyue saw the maid standing on her side with her eyebrows lowered and lowered her eyes, and felt a little unbearable, so she opened her mouth to find something to chat, "You said your name is Xiaoyu, right?" ”
"Yes." I didn't know the intention of Chai Qingyue's question, Xiao Yu replied honestly, but she didn't know that her low eyebrows and lowered eyes were quite pitiful in Chai Qingyue's eyes, and it also made Chai Qingyue give herself a high impression score in her heart.
Chai Qingyue asked Xiaoyu to come closer, so that she could see the other party's appearance more clearly. After looking at Xiao Yu's face, his facial features are exquisite, but they are not particularly outstanding. But those eyes are very well born, shining, and at a glance, it seems that there are thousands of stars in those autumn-like eyes.
"You're really good-looking." Chai Qingyue praised it sincerely, but she didn't know that her sentence became sarcastic in Xiaoyu's eyes.
Xiao Yu's face showed shyness just right, and he smiled but didn't answer.
Chai Qingyue saw the crimson on Xiao Yu's face, felt that this maid was a little interesting, and asked, "How many years have you been in the house?" ”
"It's been five years." Xiao Yu made another blessing and replied, "When the slave maid was fourteen years old, by the grace of His Majesty, she was given to the prince to be a maid who had intercourse. ”
Xiao Yu said this very cleverly, and saw that Chai Qingyue was interested in her, so she pushed the boat to explain the reason why she came to the Prince's Mansion, and also pointed out that she was the old man of the Prince's Mansion.
However, Xiao Yu's scheming words only felt cute and regrettable in Chai Qingyue's opinion, a beautiful girl from a good family was given to a man who had never met before by a holy decree from His Majesty the Emperor, and her situation could be said to be the same disease.
"So it's time for me to call your sister." Chai Qingyue took the initiative to take Xiaoyu's hand and pulled her to sit beside her, "Then I'll call you "Sister Xiaoyu", okay?" ”
Chai Qingyue's smile is so innocent, she is like a plain cloth that has not been rendered by the big dye vat of the harem, clean and white.
The bright smile made Xiao Yu a little shaky, how long has he not shown such an innocent smile, and he doesn't seem to have seen such a smile on other people's faces since entering the palace.
From this point of view, Chai Qingyue is really not suitable for here, so if she can replace her one day, it will not be a mistake, it can only be said that it is fate.
"Okay." After Xiao Yu came back to his senses, he whispered, probably because of that bit of vanity.
Chai Qingyue smiled, and didn't question why Xiaoyu lost his mind just now, nor did she care about the slight disrespect in Xiaoyu's words.
