Zheng Ji stepped directly into the gate, and was about to go inside, but was forcibly stopped by two maidservants standing outside the gate, and said softly: "The son has an explanation, no one is allowed to enter, and please don't trespass!" ”

"Who said that the palace is going in, it's lunch time, Gongzi and Lord Yong should be hungry, I'll guard here for you, you two go and bring the wine and food."

The maidservant who guarded the door looked dazed and noncommittal, Zheng Ji said in a serious and deep voice: "Go!" Are you a newcomer who has only come today? The status of this palace in this prince's mansion is still unclear? Hongu is not good at talking, is it? ”

"Madame is good at talking, slave and maid will do it!"

The older slave nodded repeatedly, tugged at the sleeve of the other slave, and the two walked towards the dining room.

When the maidservant girl walked away, Zheng Ji turned her back to the door and pricked up her ears to listen carefully to the conversation in the room.

"Father-in-law, do you mean to take advantage of Sima Saizhong's envoy to the Song Kingdom......"

"Uh-huh! It's good for the virtuous son-in-law to understand, why bother to say it, be careful that the wall has ears. ”

Before Ji Tu finished speaking, he was interrupted by an old voice, and Zheng Ji guessed that he was Ji Tu's father-in-law, Yongfu, and he was really a scheming guy.

"Father-in-law reminds me, but please rest assured, I have arranged for someone to guard the door, and no one is allowed to trespass."

At this time, the two maidservants who were instructed by Zheng Ji to go to the dining room came back, and Zheng Ji hurriedly walked outside the house.

"Why did you come back so soon? What about lunch? ”

The young maid blushed and lowered her head and did not speak, and the older maid said in a little panic, "Uh...... If you go back to Madame, the person from the dining room will send it in a moment. ”

Zheng Ji paused, pretending to have an expression as if she had seen through their thoughts, and said, "Ghost girl, you must be worried that the palace didn't help you guard the door, and you will be punished by the prince at that time, right?" Don't worry, you haven't even a fly in the short time since you left, so let's go back to this palace, and don't say that this palace has been here, so as not to cause more trouble, and then you will be punished. ”

When the two maidservants heard this, they smiled and nodded like pounded garlic, looking grateful.

Zheng Ji didn't stay too long, and walked away without looking back.

Zheng Ji walked quickly out of the east wing, thinking all the way, although she only heard the half of the sentence without the following, but Bing Xue was smart and she had already guessed the implied meaning of that sentence.

More is better than less, what is the country, the status of royal power, what is the matter with her Zheng Ji? If people knew that she was an insider, they wouldn't even know how she died, so she quickly slipped away.

It's also dangerous, Zheng Ji just walked out of the field of vision of the door of the east wing, Ji Tu and Yongfu's conspiracy ended, and they walked out before and after.

Ji suddenly saw that the two maidservants who had been arranged were still standing honestly at the gate, so he walked over and asked softly, "Has anyone ever been here?" ”

"If you go back to Gongzi, no one has ever come."

The older maid was afraid that the young maid would say something and hurriedly replied, but the little maid seemed to have something to say, but fortunately Ji Tu did not look at her.

"That's good! Well, this snow melts everywhere with water, so go and ask the people in the dining room to prepare food and drink and send them to the east wing! ”

"No, slave and maid will go!" After the maid finished speaking, she pulled the little maid and prepared to go to the dining room again, but was stopped by Ji Tu.

"It's such a trivial matter, you can go alone, let her stay."

Ji Tu found wet footprints on the ground, his pupils contracted to the extreme, and he was about to open his mouth, when suddenly, the little maid knelt in front of Ji Tu with a plop.

"Tell Childe, in fact, I ...... just now"

The older maid was frightened when she heard this, and hurriedly answered: "Tell the son, in fact, the slave maid thought that it was noon just now, so she went to the dining room on her own initiative and said that she would bring the sprinkled vegetables." ”

"That's not all!" Ji Tu glanced meaningfully at the older maidservant.

Then he turned to stare into the little maid's eyes and said, "If I guessed correctly, you actually wanted to say that someone came, right?" ”

The little maid looked timid, glanced at the older maid out of the corner of her eye, and nodded gently.

"She won't let you say it, right? Don't be afraid, Ben Gongzi supports you, what's your name? Raise your head and let Ben Gongzi take a look. ”

Ji Tu stretched out his slender fingers as he spoke, hooking the little maid's chin, melon seed face, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, a pair of big watery eyes, and a delicate and straight nose bridge, which looks quite peugeot, and should be regarded as outstanding among the maidservants.

The little maid was embarrassed by Ji Tu, and said shyly: "If you go back to the son, the slave's name is Xianglian." After saying that, he lowered his head again.

It was the gentleness that blushed and bowed his head that made Ji suddenly read countless people's hearts tremble.

"Xianglian...... Yes, don't be a rough girl in the future, go to be a personal maid for my son, and serve my son's daily life, and I don't have to look at the faces of those mothers-in-law anymore. ”

After Ji Tu finished speaking, he glanced at the elderly maidservant standing next to him with the tail of his eyes.

The old maid was red-faced at this time, and hated Xianglian to death, and she felt that she was young on weekdays, and took care of her everywhere, but she didn't expect that Xiao Nizi was a big ghost, and she had the heart to climb the dragon and the phoenix, but she would be able to climb up the pole by stepping on people's shoulders.

"Thank you for your mercy, Xianglian will do her best to take care of your son!"

Xianglian was trying to restrain the incomparably excited that her heart suddenly changed from a pheasant to a phoenix, although she was sent to the Gongzi's mansion as a slave by her parents because she was poor when she was young and couldn't afford to support so many children, for many years, Xianglian resented her parents in her heart.

But now it seems that the parents' original advice was correct, they said that we must learn to look at people's faces and work hard to climb up in order to get ahead. So over the years, Xianglian's not only her head is growing, but her heart and eyes are also growing, and she is clever and finally climbing to a high branch today.

"Xianglian, who came just now?"

Xianglian glanced at Yongfu who was standing beside Ji Tu, and saw that he had a serious face, but he remained silent.

"Zheng Ji came just now, let us go to the dining room to pass the message, and send the wine and food to the east wing, we began to disagree, saying that the son confessed to stay here so as not to be disturbed, but Zheng Ji said that she came to guard, with a strong attitude, and the slaves and maids were not easy to insist, so they had to go to the dining room, but it was only a very short time before and after the slaves left."

After listening to this, Gongzi Ji suddenly glanced at Yongfu. He likes smart people, this Xianglian, obviously calls Zheng Ji Mrs. on weekdays, but today in front of her father-in-law, she only called Zheng Ji, it is estimated that she can't think of it at all. The temptation of Zheng Ji was a conspiracy between himself and Yongfu.

"Xianglian, go and call the housekeeper."

"No, Xianglian will go."

Xianglian, who was wearing the clothes of a slave and maid, seemed to suddenly feel that she was already superior to other slaves and maids, and even when she walked, the lotus moved lightly and her body swayed, and she already had a little taste of master.

After a while, the butler arrived.

"Li Ben has seen Childe, what do you have to tell Childe?"

Ji Tu glanced at the older slave maid out of the corner of his eye with disgust, pointed at her with his finger, but no longer looked at her, looking out of sight and out of mind.

"Steward Li, let this go and do some rough work of cleaning the thatched house and washing the gong bucket in the future, and don't let my son see her again."

"No!"

The butler turned his face to the old slave and said, "Didn't you hear what the son said?" Why don't you hurry up and do your job? ”

The older slave stared at Xianglian for a long time with a look of disdain mixed with resentment, and then left without looking back. Thinking in my heart: good is rewarded, evil is rewarded, it's not that it is not reported, the time has not come, do you think that today you have flown on the branches, tomorrow will be a phoenix? I'm afraid that Zheng Ji is not easy to mess with!
