Hu Xinxue's already white face became whiter, pale, and miserable. I don't know if she was shy or frightened, but when she got up, she stared blankly at the hot water on the ground.

"Are you using boiling water?"

"The slave thought that when she took off her shoes, the boiling water would become cold." Hu Xinxue looked at Zhu Youzhen pitifully, she had completed the transformation from a young lady to a maidservant girl from her heart, but her skills were far from enough.

"Alas!" Zhu Youzhen stroked his feet, and the place that was burned just now was already red and swollen, like a boiled crayfish.

"Damn it! The slave and maid went to pour water for His Highness again, and this time promised that it would not be hot. If you do something wrong, you must apologize, Hu Xinxue learned the tone of her former maid.

"Forget it! If I want you to serve me again, I can have a great white shark in this room. After all, Zhu Youzhen, who was barefoot, did not get up.

Hu Xinxue had already picked up the wooden basin that had fallen on the ground, and was about to walk to the door, when she heard the words, she paused, then stomped her feet, and went out with the basin. Her embroidered shoes had just been poured into Zhu Youzhen's face wash, and she made a rhythmic "click" sound when she walked.

After a while, the clicks returned.

"Your Highness, this time it's not hot." Hu Xinxue put the wooden basin in the only dry place in front of the bed, and gave Zhu Youjian a pair of cloth shoes and asked him to move to the basin to wash his feet.

"I know, this time I probably used cold water from the patio, so it's naturally not hot." Zhu Youjian's feet slowly entered the basin and tested the water temperature, but it was just right, "It turned out that it was not cold water!" Hehe. ”

Hu Xinxue saw that Zhu Youzhen's feet were completely submerged in the water, so she was relieved, but she gave Zhu Youzhen a roll of the eyes.

Zhu You looked at it but didn't see it.

Hu Xinxue didn't care about him, he picked up Zhu Youzhen's feet and began to rub them in the water. When the little hand touched the redness and swelling on Zhu Youzhen's foot, he touched it gently, but his eyes peeked towards Zhu Youzhen.

Fortunately, Zhu Youzhen was closing his eyes and recuperating and did not notice her abnormality.

"Your Highness, your feet are washed. Does His Highness change his clothes and pants, or go to bed? ”

"I'll lie down in bed for a while, you go and bring me the clothes I have changed, and change them tomorrow morning!"

When Hu Xinxue went out to get clothes, Zhu Youzhen took the opportunity to take off his soaked pants, got into the quilt, and closed his eyes again.

"Your Highness's clothes to change tomorrow are all here." Hu Xinxue hugged Zhu Youzhen's clothes and pants and put them on the chair.

"Cher, pour me a cup of tea, I'm thirsty."

Hu Xinxue was stunned for a moment, this title is like her parents calling herself, so ambiguous, you are not my parents. She glanced at Zhu Youzhen, but Zhu Youzhen closed his eyes and ignored it directly.

"Your Highness, tea is here."

"Is it hot tea or herbal tea this time?" Zhu Youjian's body did not move, still leaning on the head of the bed.

"It's warm tea." Hu Xinxue smiled slyly, her face also recovered, and her little face looked more and more delicate.

"Then, put it here, you can go back and rest too!"

"The slave and maid are outside, if Your Highness has any orders, change the slave and maid, and the slave and maid will come over immediately."

Zhu Youzhen was thinking about his thoughts on the bed. One will be a soap factory, one will be the people of Yansui, and the other will be the soldiers of Zu Dashou.

Finally, he practiced the magic for a while before he fell asleep.

The sound of Hu Xinxue rolling was also heard from time to time on the bed next door, I don't know if she had any thoughts, or if she was not used to serving a strange man.

…………

Jingshi, in the Xinwang Mansion in the northeast of the imperial city, there are also people who can't sleep well and get up early

"Sister Princess, when will Your Highness come back?"

"Sister, how many times have I told you, don't princess and princess, this is at home!" Zhou Yufeng was plain and indifferent, looking at Wan'er's anxious appearance, but she added fuel to the fire: "Your Highness said in your letter that you must stay in Shaanxi for the time being." Now that autumn has passed, and Jingshi and Shaanxi are so far apart, I am afraid that they will not come back to Xinyuan. ”

"Huh? Sister," Wan'er finally changed her words, "then who will serve His Highness?" ”

"Isn't there His Highness's personal guard over there?" Zhou Yufeng looked like he didn't care about himself.

"How can these clumsy soldiers take care of people? It's pretty much the same for a drink. Wan'er muttered quietly.

"What then?" Zhou Yufeng didn't care about Zhu Youzhen, she knew that someone cared more about Zhu Youzhen than her.

"Why don't my sister go to Shaanxi and take care of His Highness's diet and daily life?" Wan'er doesn't have as many eyes as Zhou Yufeng, what kind of eyes does she have, she usually says it directly.

"Sister, are you stupid? Which of the officials who served outside the Beijing division of the Ming Dynasty did not leave his wife in the Beijing division as a hostage? Besides, His Royal Highness is commanding the troops outside, and my sister can't leave the Beijing Division. Zhou Yufeng is kind and seductive.

"Oh, my sister is anxious for a while, but she is confused." The anxiety in Wan'er's heart was even worse, it seemed that Zhu Youzhen was suffering in the eighteenth layer of hell.

"Actually, it's not like there's no way." Zhou Yufeng said leisurely that she knew that someone would definitely take the bait.

"Sister, tell me quickly, how can I go to Shaanxi?"

"Sister can't go to Shaanxi, but someone can!"

"Sister......" Wan'er understands what Zhou Yufeng means even if her IQ drops to zero temporarily. She looked at Zhou Yufeng and rubbed the corners of her clothes with her hands uneasily.

"Sister, Your Highness really needs someone to take care of you - Your Highness is so good, if you bump into a few fox spirits, it's strange if you don't entangle Your Highness." Zhou Yufeng saw that the fire was almost over, and finally made a killer move.

"Sister, what should I do?" Wan'er was about to cry.

"Sister, my sister can't go to Shaanxi because of her identity, but sister, you can go to Shaanxi to serve His Royal Highness! With my sister here, no white fox, black fox, or red fox can get close to His Royal Highness. ”

"However, this ...... thousands of miles away" Wan'er is already willing in her heart, but she is chasing her husband for thousands of miles...... In the eyes of my sister......

"What are you afraid of? Don't want my sister to walk, no matter how difficult it is for us to believe in the palace, can't we afford to hire a sedan chair? Besides, for the sake of His Highness, it is worth spending any amount of money. ”

"Sister...... That...... Don't laugh at your sister. ”

"Joke what? My sister didn't go to Shaanxi alone, but my sister went with my sister's heart. ”

…………

didn't sleep well at night, Zhu Youzhen woke up late, and the success of the soap made Zhu Youzhen extremely excited, but Zhu Youzhen attributed his insomnia to the sound of the rolling bed next door.

Hu Xinxue had already gotten up, heard Zhu Youzhen's door opening, and hurriedly brought washing water.

Zhu Youzhen was scared of being burned, reached out and touched it, the water temperature was just right, and he unconsciously sighed in his heart that Miss Hu was smart and studious.

"The slave promises that there won't be a third time." Hu Xinxue knew Zhu Youzhen's thoughts, and felt guilty in her heart, it turned out that the maidservant was not so easy to do.

"Why do you have dark circles under your eyes? Didn't sleep well last night? Zhu Youzhen asked knowingly.

"Slave ......"

"Say anything! You are already a man of my faith in the palace. Zhu Youzhen didn't realize that he didn't know how ambiguous it was to talk to a young girl who had never given a dowry yet.

“…… It's nothing, the slave just isn't used to the new environment, and it will be fine in two days. Hu Xinxue couldn't speak, she had known people for less than a day, how could she let others help her so much? Besides, she is now just his handmaiden.

Zhu Youzhen didn't pay attention to Hu Xinxue's thoughts, he wanted to organize craftsmen and continue his soap business, so he went out early.

The soldiers also left with Zhu Youzhen, and in the whole house, only Hu Xinxue remained.

Hu Xinxue suddenly felt empty in her heart, like this empty room.

She was engaged in a fierce ideological battle.

Do you want to talk to him or not? Will he help himself?

said, may be rejected; Not to mention, never a chance.

For a whole day, Hu Xinxue spent the whole day in this kind of entanglement, and even forgot to eat lunch.

Zhu Youzhen came back from dinner. The noise of the soldiers finally brought the room back to life.

Zhu Youzhen finished washing his feet and was about to go to the study.

Hu Xinxue walked out with the foot-washing water, and when she was about to reach the door, she turned around and glanced at Zhu Youzhen, and left silently.

"Cher, what's going on?"

Hu Xinxue turned around again, glanced at Zhu Youzhen, and stopped talking, looking preoccupied, even kindergarten children could see it.

Ao, understood, Zhu Youzhen thought for a while, "Xue'er, you go and pour water first, and then come over, I have something to ask you." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." She walked very resolutely this time, and soon returned to Zhu Youzhen's bedroom.

"Cher, I understand your thoughts." Zhu Youzhen looked at Hu Xinxue's eyes, "You don't want to be my maidservant?" ”

"......" Hu Xinxue shook her head quickly, resolutely rejecting Zhu Youzhen's guess, and there was a faint disappointment in her eyes.

"That's for your parents." Zhu Youzhen didn't wait for her to veto, "Do you want to let them settle in the ground?" ”

Hu Xinxue's eyes lit up, and Baba looked at Zhu Youzhen, like a child who had been abducted and trafficked, and finally met his parents after being abused, beaten and humiliated.

"Tell me about your parents!" Zhu Youzhen was originally not interested in these people, according to the concept of later generations, they were all innocent of death, and no matter how they died, they would not be wronged.

"Your Highness, the slave's mother died in the chaos a few months ago, and now I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid there are no bones left. Hu Xinxue really wanted to cry happily, but in front of Zhu Youzhen, she didn't dare to indulge too much, so she became sobbing: "But the slave's father...... Daddy's head is passing on the first three sides......"

"This is what the emperor meant, and I can't help it-calculate the time, the three sides have already passed it, right?"

"Hmm." Hu Xinxue nodded vigorously, "It should have passed a long time ago." ”

"Okay, tomorrow I will send someone to ask Zu Dashou to ask, and I will ask for your father's head, and you can bury it on a certain day!"

"Your Highness will really help the slaves?" Hu Xinxue's eyes widened, and she couldn't wait to open Zhu Youzhen's heart with her eyes to see if she really wanted to help her.

"Of course." Zhu Youzhen was also afraid of Hu Xinxue's eyes that killed the man in seconds, "Originally, I didn't care about these things, but now you are the one who believes in the palace, of course I want to help you." The dead are gone, no matter what happened to them in life, let them rest in peace soon after death! ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, slave." Hu Xinxue let out a "poof" and knelt down at Zhu Youzhen's feet, "The slave is willing to make cattle and horses for His Highness, no, no, the slave is already a slave and a maid for His Highness, and the slave and maid will be a cow and a horse for His Highness in the next life." ”

"What are you doing as a cow or a horse? It's good to be human. Everyone in the palace must live well and be a good person. ”
