Mingyue is not a nosy person, although she was quite curious about the two guests who had just moved into the mansion, she only asked a few more curious questions when arranging for them to stay in, and then handed it over to the people below to take care of. She knew that the less she knew about these things, the better.

Xiao Tan would go over to take a look every day, the little girl was soft-hearted and sympathetic to Brother Fan - that day He Zhizhou came, and when he talked about Brother Fan'er's life experience, he didn't avoid Xiao Tan, so Xiao Tan also knew. should have been a noble young prince of the Hou Mansion, but he was downtrodden to the point of being raised by a country woman, how could he not be embarrassed?

Now that Mingyue is in charge, Xiaotan often takes care of Brother Fan by taking advantage of her position, for fear that the people below will not look down on Brother Fan and Sister-in-law Liu and treat them slowly, and take a look at them every day, which is also a disguised deterrent.

Xiaotan bothered, and Mingyue left it alone.

As for other things in the house, when others were watching or worrying about how she, the newly appointed new official, would burn those three fires, they found that Mingyue still didn't move at all - Wang's own set of strict rules and regulations, Mingyue felt very good after reading it, there was no need to revise it at all, just act in accordance with the rules and regulations. Someone came to ask for instructions, how it was and how it is now, those subordinates who thought they would be retaliated against and picked on were all relieved, and they all said that the princess's mind was really very broad, not comparable to ordinary people.

After a few days, everything was working as usual, and the maids and women were very relieved. But for those women who continue to wait and see and say that they are half masters of the palace, they are confused and completely confused. Is this really not caring about what they did before, or is it just waiting to find a suitable opportunity to settle accounts after the autumn?

"Girl, what do you mean by the princess of Xia Kingdom?" Looking at the Lin family who was pruning the flower branches, her maid finally couldn't help but ask, "It's been a few days, and I haven't seen the girls, nor have I taken the initiative to summon the housekeeper's mother, so I haven't done anything like this, isn't there something big happening brewing?" ”

Lin paused, his eyes flashed slightly, "What do you think about this?" ”

"Where can the slave and maid see anything?" The maid smiled and flattered: "The girl has always had a bright eye and a bright heart, and the slave maid dared to ask the girl because she couldn't see anything." ”

"It's hard to say, just a little-" Lin continued the movements of his hand and smiled slightly: "This princess of Xia Kingdom is a master who doesn't like trouble. ”

"Huh?" The maid was stunned.

Lin didn't explain much, "Don't make trouble ordinarily, the princess won't be embarrassed." ”

asked her again: "Can you find out the details of Ju Yingxuan?" ”

The maid was frustrated, "The slave is incompetent, Ju Yingxuan teaches people to see firmly, only Xiaotan and the imperial doctor can enter and exit every day, and the people next to them must ask the princess before they can enter." The people serving inside couldn't get out easily, and the slaves couldn't get close to Ju Yingxuan for a while. I only know that there is a woman with a child living in it, and I don't know what it is. But—"

The maid lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "The slave and maid heard people talk about it in private, saying that the child belongs to the prince, and the prince personally brought people into the palace and handed them over to the princess to settle down. Girl, do you think this is true or false? ”

"Has the prince been going to see that kid in the past few days?" Lin asked lightly.

"Not once." The little maid was very clear, "If it's not the prince's child, why do you want to take a child of unknown origin into the house?" ”

The little maid was very puzzled, how could the Lin family know, "The prince has his own reasons for doing things, don't ask nonsense in the future, just watch quietly, otherwise it will not be good if you accidentally end up in the same situation as the Wang family." ”

Speaking of Wang Manyu, the little maid couldn't help but shudder, "Miss Wang has been the first person in the palace for so long, and the prince has never shown her face, but why is she so ruthless this time?" ”

There is no shortage of people in the world who praise the high and the low, how beautiful Wang Manyu was in the past, and how depressed he is now. Although the rumors said that she had suddenly fallen ill, who would believe that it was true? are speculating about why the prince is annoyed by Wang Manyu, and for a while, these women in the backyard are all in danger, for fear that one day they will also be seriously ill.

"I only know that the imperial doctor came to the palace that night, but it was for the princess of Xia Kingdom, and then Wang Shi fell ill, and when I think about it, I am afraid that I will not be able to get rid of that princess." Lin is already smart, and she can guess with some clues if she can't find out the news, she inserts the pruned flowers into the vase, and sighs softly with the sadness of the dead rabbit and the fox, and said in a low voice, "In this house, I'm afraid that the sky is really going to change." ”

If this is the case, where should people of their status go when the time comes? Will it be the same as Wang's, a better end is to be sent to Zhuangzi to raise, if you are unlucky, I am afraid that you will "die" in the palace.

Lin no longer has the same calmness on his face, perhaps, it is time to think of a way out.

She wanted to retreat, but how could the people behind her allow her to retreat?

Lin's eyes flickered dimly, and finally, he sighed lightly and instructed the little maid, "Send this flower to the Wuyuan Garden." ”

Whether it works or not, you will know until you have tried it.

……

There are those who are waiting to see the changes like this, and there are naturally those who are ready to move.

Gong Yu'er anxiously stretched her neck to look outside, and finally saw the figure of her maid hurrying forward, but she couldn't care about being reserved, and lifted her skirt and greeted her, "How about it, can you inquire clearly, is the prince really in the study?" ”

The little maid couldn't care about wiping her sweat, "The prince came back early today, and he was discussing with people in the study just now. ”

"Quick, what I want is ready?" Gong Yu'er beckoned to the maid behind her, and raised her hand to comb the broken hair of her sideburns, "Jian Cui, help me take a look, am I okay like this?" ”

The maid named Jian Cui hurriedly looked at it, "The girl is like this, she is as beautiful as a fairy, and she is not much worse than the princess of the Xia Kingdom." ”

Gong Yu'er's smug pretty face immediately pulled down, "What did you say?" ”

Jian Cui hurriedly knelt down in a panic and slapped herself with two mouths, "Damn it, slave and maid are clumsy and can't speak, girl, don't be angry." The girl's appearance is the best no matter where she is placed, and others can match your color. ”

Gong Yu'er's expression looked a little better, thinking that she still had big things to do, and she didn't bother to fix the maid who couldn't speak, so she only snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the sake of your daily use, I would see that I wouldn't give the prince a chance to drive you out." ”

It just so happened that another maid, Mo Zhu, came over with the food box that Gong Yu'er had prepared earlier, and she looked at Gong Yu'er's excited and eager appearance, and her expression was a little uneasy: "Girl, do you really want to go over?" The study in front of the prince is an important place, and no one can go without the king's orders. If you annoy the prince......"

The lessons of the previous car are still here, so she insists on going her own way to touch the mold, and Gong Yuer is not the only one who is unlucky, where can they run away.

In the past, Wang Manyu was so valued by the prince, and only when the prince called her to go, she dared to go to the front yard, and now this Gong Yuer is also whimsical for some reason, thinking that she will be fine if she goes.

"Afraid of what?" Gong Yu'er glared at her unhappily, and snatched the food box from her hand, "As long as I see the prince here...... It's time for me to turn over! ”

Jian Cui and Mo Zhu glanced at each other, they couldn't know how the girl they served had a long brain, the situation was so unclear at this time, she stayed restlessly, and she was still bent on leaning towards the prince. The prince saw her before, and he gave her a little face, but her face can be bigger than Wang Manyu?

But in the end, they were maids, seeing Gong Yu'er walking towards the outer courtyard with confidence and grace, the two couldn't persuade them, so they had to hang their heads and follow helplessly.

When she arrived at the study in the front yard, Gong Yu'er was unexpectedly stopped by He Mo, "The prince didn't call Miss Gong to come, Miss Gong should go back." ”

Gong Yu'er straightened her waist, her fingers subconsciously pinched the food box in her hand, and said with a delicate smile: "Little Brother Mo helped me to ask the prince, and the benefits of the little brother are indispensable." ”

As he spoke, he motioned to Jian Cui. Jian Cui hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed a purse into Hormer's hand with Xiaoxiao: "Please also ask Xiao Mo to help the girl." ”

He Mo frowned almost invisibly, raised his eyes and glanced at Gong Yu'er again, and said lightly: "The prince is busy, if the prince wants to see Miss Gong, he will send someone to invite him, Miss Gong go back." ”

After that, he ignored Gong Yu'er's cold face that was suddenly pulled down, returned the purse to Jian Cui, and said with a straight face: "Miss Gong doesn't understand the rules, and you don't understand either?" These days, you have forgotten all the rules? Don't hurry up and serve Miss Gong back! ”

Jian Cui's face turned red and she lowered her head in embarrassment. He Mo unceremoniously attacked her, but he was reminding her that she and Mozhu were maids in the palace, not Gong Yuer's.

Speaking of which, when the girls in this house first entered the house, they all came in alone, and there was no maid or woman by their side. When you come to the house, there will be someone in the house to serve. is the princess of Xia Kingdom, and she can still bring a palace maid into the mansion, but her identity is different from others.

Jian Cui and Mo Zhu have been with Gong Yuer for two or three years, Gong Yuer is generous on weekdays, and they are also kind, and they also get along with each other. They are not the old people who came out of the palace with the prince, they all bought into the mansion later, although they were ordered by the ear before taking up the post, there is only one master in the mansion, that is, to show loyalty, and they can't express the wrong object.

Apparently now Hormo was not satisfied with their mistaken heart, which was a terrible thing. Jian Cui couldn't take care of it anymore, and stepped forward to help Gong Yu'er, while persuading: "Girl, the prince is busy, let's go back quickly." ”

While giving Mo Zhu a look, if Gong Yu'er is disobedient, they will forcibly take her back. It's better to be scolded by Gong Yuer after going back than to be killed by the prince!

Gong Yu'er finally came to this point, where was she willing to give up, seeing Jian Cui coming to pull her, she shook off Jian Cui with her hand, and opened her mouth to shout: "Lord, I'm Yu'er, I have something important to see the prince, and the prince will see me." ”

It was just like that. Jian Cui and Mo Zhu had bloodless faces, who didn't know that it was strictly forbidden to shout loudly in this outer study, and the people below didn't even make a sound when they walked, what they were afraid of was disturbing the prince, she didn't care about it like this, the prince was annoyed, afraid that he would come out and break their necks immediately!

He Mo didn't expect Gong Yu'er to be so bold, frowned slightly, and understood something, someone from the Gong family came to see Gong Yu'er yesterday, and he was afraid that he would tell her something, so Gong Yu'er had the audacity to come to see the prince. Thinking about it like this, I planned to go in and say goodbye.

He didn't move on his heels when he heard He Zhizhou's voice coming from inside, "Come in." ”

Jian Cui and Mo Zhu were stunned, Gong Yu'er had expected He Zhizhou to meet her, and glared at He Mo arrogantly, knowing that He Mo was the most faceless in front of He Zhizhou, and he didn't dare to offend him. glared at Jian Cui Mozhu again, "Don't let me go yet!" ”

The two maids hurriedly let go, Gong Yu'er tidied up the wrinkled sleeves that were pulled up by them, and then carried the food box Shi Shiran into the study.

As soon as Gong Yu'er entered, she saw He Zhizhou writing hard behind the desk.

The sunlight outside the window poured in, depicting every inch of his skin in detail, and his whole face was bathed in the golden light of the warm sun, reflecting the dark pupils that seemed to be shining with a little golden light.

Looking at it from Gong Yu'er's perspective, she could see the man's throat, jaw, and most of the side face. The sunlight strengthens the boundary between light and dark, and the well-defined face is like the Danqing ink pen carefully depicted by the calligraphers and painters, which blends the beauty of the painting and the grace of the book, and makes people feel freehand and uninhibited.

Gong Yuer looked at He Zhizhou with fascination, what woman doesn't love such a handsome and charming and powerful man?

It wasn't until He Zhizhou put down the pen and raised his head that Gong Yu'er suddenly came back to his senses. Hurriedly twisted his slender waist and walked forward to salute, and said with a delicate smile: "I heard that the prince came back and went into the study, and he has been busy until now, and he has not called the kitchen to pass the food. ”

He Zhizhou's cold gaze fell on Gong Yu'er's head that was hanging down because of her shyness, revealing her neck with a graceful arc.

He inexplicably remembered Mingyue's injured neck, because her wound was quite deep, although it had healed, it left a scar that was not deep or shallow. However, the doctor said that as long as you insist on wiping the plaster to remove the scar, the scar will disappear in less than half a year.

Only let him face that scar for half a year, and He Zhizhou couldn't help frowning.

As soon as Gong Yu'er raised her eyes, she saw He Zhizhou frowning and looking at her, and immediately panicked, "The prince is angry, and Yu'er doesn't know if she should come willfully, but ...... I really can't rest assured that the prince is worried about your body, so I came over recklessly, and begged the prince not to be angry with Yu'er. ”

She stood there crying, and her pitiful appearance was endearing.

He Zhizhou thought of another face that would also show a crying appearance, but every time she was like that, she couldn't last long, and she would quietly show her impatience. She herself still thinks that she is hiding it well, but she doesn't know that there are flaws and loopholes everywhere.

"Lord Wang?" Seeing that He Zhizhou was silent, Gong Yu'er was even more panicked, and couldn't help but call out loud.

He Zhizhou gathered his thoughts, looked over casually, his slender fingers knocked unhurriedly on the desk in front of him, and smiled lazily, "What delicious food did Yu'er bring to this king?" ”

When Gong Yu'er saw his smiling face, her previous apprehension immediately disappeared, and she hurriedly stepped forward and put out the contents of the food box.

A mandarin fish with osmanthus flowers, a plate of crispy belly shreds of hibiscus, a bowl of lily porridge and a plate of jasper pear cake.

The color and flavor are complete, and just one glance will arouse people's appetite.

Gong Yu'er saw that He Zhizhou's eyes fell on the dishes with satisfaction, so she pursed her lips and smiled: "I still want to cook two more dishes, but I was afraid that the prince would be hungry, so I hurried over, fortunately, it was not cold, so the prince used some while it was hot." ”

She smiled delicately and looked as usual, only when she handed the silver to He Zhizhou's hand, her finger joints seemed to be faintly white due to the force. "Yu'er serves the prince with food."

While speaking, he gave He Zhizhou a dish, "The prince is busy with government affairs, and he has every opportunity, so he should eat more, Yu'er looked, the prince seems to have lost some weight these days, but Yu'er feels distressed." The prince is not for Yu'er, but for the little master in the house, and he should take good care of his body. ”

While persuading worriedly, she stole a glance at He Zhizhou's expression, as if she wanted to see something on his face.

He Zhizhou only smiled when he heard this, and did not respond to her seemingly casual but rather nervous tentative words about Fan Ge'er, only glanced at Gong Yu'er with the dark eyes that seemed to be smiling but gave people the illusion of infinite affection, picked up some crispy belly shreds and ate them, and then said: "Yu'er's cooking skills are getting better and better, and in this house, the belly silk you make can be eaten." ”

Gong Yu'er was overjoyed when she heard this, her eyes were almost shining, and she smiled happily: "If the prince likes it, use it more." Yu'er also cooks for the prince, and Yu'er will cook a lot of dishes. ”

With such a diligent service, he brought the topic just now. He Zhizhou was really a little hungry, and Gong Yu'er ate more than half of the food he came.

Waiting for He Zhizhou to rinse his mouth and clean his hands, Gong Yu'er's smiling gaze fell on the empty plate, a different color flashed in her eyes, and she quickly pursed her lips, and put the smug smile on her lips into her mouth.

"Lord, yesterday, my sister-in-law came to see me and mentioned something to Yu'er, Yu'er thought about it, and still felt that she should tell the prince about it." Gong Yu'er served gently, and said with a soft smile, "Yu'er is a woman's family, and I don't know if this matter matters or not, but the prince has a bottom in his heart, and Yu'er can rest assured." ”

"Oh?" He Zhizhou took the tea she handed over, took a sip, and raised his eyebrows as if puzzled, "What makes Yu'er so solemn?" ”

Gong Yu'er stood behind He Zhizhou, gently pinched his shoulders for him, but didn't see the displeasure and patience that flashed in He Zhizhou's eyes, and said: "In a few days, it will be the spring hunt, Your Majesty handed over the defense of the paddock to my father and my brother, my sister-in-law overheard my father and my brother discussing the defense, but somehow, I heard some beasts or something, Yu'er thought, could it be that there are fierce beasts in the paddock?" Yu'er couldn't sleep well all night last night, thinking about how to tell the prince, in case there is really a beast in the paddock, the prince must pay attention to safety at that time. ”

He Zhizhou listened quietly, still with a smile on his face, but the smile seemed to have some mockery, the little emperor would do something during the spring hunt He had expected it, but it was just a beast? Could it be that he He Zhizhou grew up in the beast garden since he was a child?

Gong Yu'er's father's and brother's surrender made He Zhizhou quite satisfied, and he was about to speak, his pupils shrank suddenly, and then dilated, and the depths of his eyes were dark, as if a whirlwind was brewing, and he suddenly turned around and grabbed Gong Yu'er's neck, "What did you use for this king?" ”

Gong Yu'er, who had been observing He Zhizhou's reaction, didn't have time to be happy, so she was pinched by He Zhizhou, and her slender hand pinched her slender and fragile neck mercilessly, and she could almost feel the terrible touch of his fingertips sinking into her skin. His throat was stuck in his tiger's mouth, and with half a force, it would shatter. She could even hear her own blood beating in the palm of his hand, proving that she was still alive at this time.

"King, Lord!" Gong Yu'er desperately wanted to speak, ignoring the almost broken pain in her neck, and on her purple face, two lines of tears slowly slipped from the corners of her eyes, "Yu'er didn't ...... No malice, just want to ...... I want to ask the prince for mercy and give Yu'er a child. Yu'er has been with the prince for so long, for so long...... Why are those women outside who can't be on the stage can give birth to children for the prince, but Yu'er cannot? Yu'er just wanted to ...... I just want to serve the king. ”

Yesterday, her sister-in-law came to see her, and secretly gave her a peace charm, and only said that it was a child-giving charm begged in the temple, but she knew what her sister-in-law meant.

The people in the mansion all think that in addition to Wang Manyu, she is the most favored by the prince in this mansion, and before the princess of Xia Guo came to the future, the prince set foot in the backyard five times a month, and would stay in her yard at least twice. But who knows, every time the prince goes, he just lies down on her bed for a while, and he doesn't even take off his clothes and leaves without looking back.

She didn't know if Wang Manyu was like this there, she didn't dare to ask, for fear that she wouldn't be able to bear the negative answer after asking. has to show off in front of others, but in fact, who knows the bitterness in her heart?

She also doubted whether the prince was not good, but every time Wang Manyu came to the front yard, she always looked like she was full and charming, and her suspicions suddenly became untenable.

Especially the boy who was recently brought into the mansion, they all said that the child was born by the prince outside, and said that the child's eyebrows, eyes and nose were not like the prince, Gong Yuer's heart couldn't help but move.

Since the prince has no problem and can give birth to a child, why can't she Gong Yuer have a son of the prince? My sister-in-law also said that if she has a child, the mother is more expensive than the son, and the prince will become a great treasure in the future, even if she can't be the queen, can a concubine still be able to run?
