Chapter 43: Hurt and Affection 2

Xiaotang saw that the hour was about the same, and went to Duan Qingqian's room, Xiaotang knocked lightly at the door.

"Princess?"

"Come in."

"Princess, do you have anything you want to eat at noon today?"

"It's okay to be lighter, I was a little tired of eating last night."

"Yes."

Xiaotang instructed the maid to report to the kitchen outside the door, and then entered the room to wait.

Duan Qing saw that there was only one Xiaotang, and asked.

"Where's Xiao Xin?"

"She helps Mama Shi with things, but do you want to call her over?"

"No, you don't."

"Princess, do you want the slave to beat your back?"

Duan Qingqian thought of some abnormalities in Xiaotang's days and thought about it.

"It's fine."

Xiaotang leaned over, Duan Qingqing smelled some fragrance, and he couldn't find it if he wasn't careful, Duan Qingqian glanced at Xiaotang by leaning sideways, and immediately found that she had a brand new purse on her, Duan Qingqian closed his eyes and rested.

Xiaotang saw that Duan Qingqian seemed to be in a good mood today, and said what he had silently recited hundreds of times in his heart.

"Princess, the last time the slave maid went to the street and heard something, I don't know if I should tell the princess?"

Duan Qingqian opened his eyes and pulled Xiaotang to the front, let her sit on the chair and said.

"What's the matter? Sit down and say. ”

Xiaotang was a little nervous.

"Princess, this ......"

Duan Qingqian complained a little.

"You didn't serve me on the first day, sit down and say."

"Yes, Princess."

Xiaotang lowered his head and frowned.

"Princess, what the slave said is related to the prince, the relationship between the princess and the princess is just right, so don't talk about it."

Duan Qing said earnestly.

"Alas, who said that I have a good relationship with the prince?"

Xiaotang was a little unconvinced.

"Isn't the relationship between the princess and the prince?"

"You're just looking at what you're hearing on the streets?"

Xiaotang raised his head and said with a look of death.

"The slave maid heard that the fire in Mr. Jane's mansion a few years ago was ordered by the prince to be set off, just to get Bifengqin to please Miss Liu at that time."

"Oh, really?"

"Many people said about the prince and Miss Liu back then, saying that the two of them were talented and beautiful, and they were very compatible."

Duan Qingqian just listened carefully, his expression was still faint, as if he was listening to a story that had nothing to do with him.

Xiaotang saw that Duan Qingqian didn't look like he had been hit by the soul incense, and took out the purse on his body.

"Well, don't tell the princess about these unhappy things. Princess, you see, this is the purse that the slave bought on the street last time, the princess looks at this handiwork, the style is okay? ”

Duan Qingqian stretched out his hand to take it, looked at it, and sniffed it.

"The purse is good, it seems to have a faint fragrance, but it contains something?"

"Well, the princess guessed right, it contains some spices that calm the nerves and repel mosquitoes."

"Really?"

Xiaotang lowered his head and said with an embarrassed look.

"Actually...... In fact, this is the slave maid for the princess, the princess has always taken care of the slave maid, the slave maid sees that the princess has few accessories on weekdays, and sees that this purse is good, so she wants to buy it and give it to the princess, and please don't laugh at the slave maid. ”

Duan Qingqian pinched the purse in his hand and asked lightly.

"Really? It's rare for Xiaotang to be so hearted, and if he doesn't accept it, it's too outward. ”

Xiaotang was anxious, Duan Qingqian finally took the bait, the soul incense didn't make her confused last night, it seems that she is also determined, as long as she wears a purse, then she can't avoid it, right?

Xiaotang stepped forward with joy.

"Princess, why don't you take it for you now?"

Duan Qingqian stood up and said with open arms.

"Okay."

Xiaotang stepped forward to help Duan Qingqian tie his purse.

"The princess really looks good with her."

"Really? Come, Xiaotang, this hairpin will be sent to you. ”

Duan Qingqian casually picked up a hosta on the dresser and gave it to Xiaotang.

"Princess...... That's not a good fit, is it? ”

"It's okay, I'll send you next, the gift is still exchanged, I accepted your purse, if you don't accept this hairpin, I won't dare to accept the purse."

"Yes, thank you, Princess."

Xiaotang would definitely be grateful for Duan Qingqian's rewards before, but now she won't, she has to pick the color of this kind of hairpin now to know if she is worthy of her.

What he could say and what he could do Xiaotang had already done, and he didn't know how to deal with himself for a while, when someone knocked on the door outside the door.

"Come in."

The person who came was the person who was waiting in An Yunmo's study on weekdays, and the guards saluted respectfully.

"My subordinates have seen the princess."

"Hmm. But what does the prince command? ”

"The prince said that this afternoon, the princess can practice more internal skills in the room, and there is no need to go to the martial arts training ground."

"Okay, I got it."

"The subordinates retired."

When Xiaotang heard this, her chance came, she didn't look for Shen Rihui last night, but he found her and asked her if she did it?

If it's so easy to start, why do you need her, and last night she also asked Shen Rihui a question, what if the soul dementor can't charm Duan Qingqian? Shen Rihui said then try to bring Duan Qingqian outside, he is not easy to do in the Regent's Mansion, but outside? There's always something you don't notice.

Xiaotang asked Duan Qingqian tentatively, she knew that Duan Qingqian wanted to practice internal skills, but she couldn't find a way, and she couldn't even enter the door.

"Princess, do you have some thoughts about the internal strength?"

Duan Qingqian said vaguely.

"It's fine."

"Princess, you can't practice martial arts overnight, and the slave and maid will go crazy if you are not careful."

"I've heard of it, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"True or not, why don't you go out for a walk? Maybe go out for a walk and come back and find your thoughts? ”

Duan Qingqian propped his head and thought.

"Huh? You have a point, too. Just don't have to go to the martial arts training ground in the afternoon? ”

Xiaotang immediately agreed.

"Well, it's like it's fun on the streets, and there's a lot of novelty."

"Really? When you say that, I don't seem to be on the street for a while. ”

Xiaotang complained.

"It's not like the princess hasn't gone out for some time, has she?"

Duan Qingqian smiled.

"You girl, remember clearly, I really haven't gone out properly, and people outside say that I don't go out of the door."

"Isn't it?"

"Okay, I'll answer your girl today, and I'll go out of the house in the afternoon. You go down and arrange it first. ”

"Yes, Princess."

In the afternoon, Duan Qingqian went to the streets for the first time in the name of Princess Regent, and in the courtyard, Duan Qingqian looked at the rows of guards in front of him.

"Just have four follow, the sedan chair is withdrawn, and I'll walk."

"Princess, this ......"

Steward Jiang was thinking about saying that it was not safe, Duan Qingqian said directly.

"It's okay, in broad daylight, anyone dares to tie me up? Tie me up, but it's against the prince? Few people in the An Dynasty have the courage to do this. ”

Steward Jiang thought about it and it made sense.

"It's better for the princess to bring a few more guards."

"No, you don't."

Seeing Duan Qingqian's insistence, Steward Jiang had no choice but to obey orders.

"Yes, Princess."

Steward Jiang personally selected four martial arts masters to follow, just in case.

"Xiaotang, Xiaoxin, take good care of the princess."

"Yes."

The two guards in front of Duan Qingqian opened the way, while Xiao Tang and Xiao Xin followed her on both sides, and the two guards behind protected them.

On the street, because there were guards to open the way, the people avoided it one after another, for fear of bumping into some nobles.

"Gather the momentum and don't scare the people."

"Yes, Princess."

The guards who opened the way in front of them all restrained their momentum a little, only slightly blocking some passers-by.

Duan Qingqian also went to the street and commanded.

"You two are following behind."

"Yes, Princess."

The guards stepped back respectfully.

Duan Qingqian looked here and there along the way, the shelf was not big, and people looked at the wives of ordinary people leaving the house.

"Hey, whose lady is this? People are very good, unlike some people who put up a shelf and eat and drink for nothing. ”

"Looking at the noodles, Xu doesn't come out often."

Xiao Xin rarely came out with Duan Qing, and his face was full of joy.

"Princess, there is a pastry made by a family next to it that is particularly delicious, do you want to try it?"

"Okay, go try it."

In front of the pastry stall, the old man wrapped two bags of pastries for them, and Xiaotang gave the silver to the old man.

Xiao Xin handed one of the packets to Duan Qingqian.

"Princess, you can taste it."

When the old man heard that Xiao Xin was called Princess Duan Qingqian, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to accept the money. Trembling hands, he handed the silver to Xiaotang.

"Girl, don't want the silver to decay, you take it back. It is a small honor for my wife to come to the shop. ”

Xiaotang hesitated, and Duan Qing said shallowly.

"Grandpa, you just take it, if I don't give the silver to take your pastries, the prince will scold me."

It was the first time that the old man met Duan Qingqian's explanation, didn't he let the princess be scolded if he didn't accept it?

"This ,......"

"The pastry was delicious."

After Duan Qingqian finished speaking, she continued to walk around the stall on the side, but when people heard her identity, she took a fancy to something, and the people didn't dare to ask for silver.

Duan Qingqian complained helplessly.

"It's not fun to go shopping like this. Xiao Xin, Xiao Tang, do you know anything else interesting? ”

Some people know that the maid calls her princess, but they don't know which princess's princess, only that it is not the one they can offend and ask for silver.

Xiao Xin thought for a while and said.

"Princess, why don't you go and see the fabrics and jewelry?"

"Well, that's fine."

The store in the store will not dare to collect cash because of her status, at most give her a discount.

Xiaotang said on the side.

"Xiao Xin, you too, the princess has been out and gone for a while, it's time to find a place to rest."

"Oh, I forgot, princess, are you tired?"

"I'm not tired, I'm a little thirsty, just listen to Xiaotang."

Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, Princess. There is a nice teahouse in front, why don't we go and sit down? ”

"Okay."

Duan Qingqian thought in her heart, Xiaotang could get the soul incense of the Southern Barbarians, thinking that it was related to the Southern Barbarians, and this time she would make a plan to see if she could find something useful.

Mingxiang Tea House.

Xiao Xin saw Xiaotang lead Duan Qingqian into this teahouse, a little puzzled, gently pulled her sleeve, and asked softly.

"Xiaotang, isn't this teahouse okay?"

"It's okay, this teahouse is famous in the An Dynasty, take the princess to taste it."

Duan Qingqian looked back at the two of them leaning together, and couldn't help asking.

"What are you two talking about?"

The shopkeeper saw Duan Qingqian coming in, stepped forward to greet him, Xiaotang gave the shopkeeper a look, and said.

"Shopkeeper, arrange a room for us."

"Yes, everybody, please."
