Chapter 106: The Courtyard (3)
After dinner, Yin Qianhua accompanied the little girls to watch a play, Yun Ruonan didn't want to stay outside for a long time, and wanted to go back to the room to rest.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Xiao Yao's skirt was soaked with the tea in the hands of the He family maid who passed by her.
"Oh, Miss Xiao is really sorry, my girl is hairy on weekdays, you damn slave still kneel down to apologize to Miss Xiao." He Jinzhi reprimanded the maid beside him.
"Miss Xiao, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to." The maid replied tremblingly.
"Don't kneel yet." He Jinzhi scolded.
"Forget it, she said it wasn't on purpose, I don't blame her, don't kneel, I can't afford it." Xiao Yao gave Xiying a look, if she let this maid kneel in public today, then tomorrow everyone in Kyoto will know that there is an arrogant young lady in the Xiao family.
"Our young lady has said that this is not a big deal, and there has never been a master in the Xiao family who punishes his subordinates for such a trivial matter. My young lady will not be able to, but we don't know what the rules are in your house. ”
Xiying held the maid who wanted to kneel hard, her face was calm, but she was angry in her heart, one or two of these people were rushing at Miss to figure out what's going on, her own young lady is still young, and she can't stand in their way at all, it's too much.
"Something happened." Yin Qianhua, who went out to send her daughter back, saw the ladies gathered together and asked.
"Back to the princess, it was the maid of the courtiers who accidentally spilled the tea on Miss Xiao's skirts." He Jinzhi had tears in his eyes, and said with a look of grievance, if he didn't know the reason for the matter, he would definitely think that Xiao Yao was bullying people.
Where is Xiying willing to let her own young lady suffer such grievances, and she wants to tell Princess Jing about Miss He's reversal of right and wrong and framing her own young lady.
Xiao Yao shook her head at Xiying, forget it, seeing that the party is about to disperse, more things are better than less, and besides, I really don't bother to argue with this kind of person.
In the past six years, Xiao Yao's life has been comfortable and peaceful, making her almost forget that there is a white lotus in this world. I hope that her forbearance can fulfill her wishes, and it is best that Yun Shizi can marry her, so that there will be two fewer disasters in this world at once.
Although Yin Qianhua was not at the scene, there were still many people left behind who saw what happened, and at this time, a maid was describing what happened to her in a low voice......
The more she listened, the colder Yin Qianhua's eyes became, if it weren't for her husband's face, she would have wanted to drive this Miss He out of the house now. Peace is also true, why endure it, don't you believe that you will call the shots for her? This kid has a lot of concerns.
"Ping'an, go and change out of your wet clothes, be careful if you catch a cold, Qiu Ying will go and get the county lord's newly made Yunjin skirt that has not yet been put on for Ping'an."
"If you go back to the princess, the courtiers have their own replacement dresses, don't bother you, and besides, the new clothes that the county lord has not yet worn, the courtiers must not ask for them." Xiao Yao firmly refused.
Yunjin is the most precious and rare clothing in Tianyu, sometimes even if you take money, you can't buy it, and there are very few people who have the opportunity to wear this kind of dress.
Xiao Yao really didn't want to take advantage of the palace, it was still comfortable for her to wear ordinary clothes, and most of the regular or obscene clothes in her bedroom were made of muslin.
"You have been wronged here in the palace, of course you have to be compensated, otherwise, how can your aunt be embarrassed to pick you up again in the future!" Yin Qianhua said these words to Xiao Yao with a smile, and did not look at He Jinzhi from beginning to end.
The young ladies of each family are also smart people, where can they not see that Princess Jing is calling the shots for Xiao Yao, and they ignore He Jinzhi, who can't see such a clear attitude! So at this moment, He Jinzhi's face was extremely ugly, and he stood there embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
"The slave will take you to change your clothes." Autumn Shadow said kindly.
"I'll go with my sister too." Xiao Yuan took his sister's hand and snorted heavily in the direction of He Jinzhi, thinking to himself, when he went home, he would tell his grandfather that Miss He was bullying her sister and asking her grandfather to smash the door of their house.
The Xiao sisters went to change their clothes, and the maid had already cleaned the venue, as if nothing had happened.
"The Ninth Emperor and Young Master Mu have arrived, and the Prince is accompanying the two of them here!" There is a mother-in-law to report.
"This ......" Yin Qianhua looked at the young ladies beside her, these people have reached the age of male and female defense, if they are allowed to avoid it, some people will definitely complain, and it is unreasonable not to let them avoid it.
"Let's go sit down in the side hall." Yuan Min bowed to Yin Qianhua and then took the Yuan sisters down.
Seeing this, the rest of the young ladies only reluctantly followed, hey! An opportunity to meet the Nine Emperor Princes was missed. The Nine Emperor Princes, Yun Shizi, and Young Master Mu are all the most outstanding teenagers in Tianyu.
These people seem to follow General Xiao to practice martial arts, it is difficult to ensure that the Xiao family has no intention of stammering and clinging, it seems that He Jinzhi deliberately targeted Miss Xiao is not completely unreasonable, let them fight, it is best to fight to the death, several young ladies have such thoughts.
"Aunt Huang, please forgive Yifan for being late." Yun Yifan, the ninth prince, saw Yin Qianhua and took the lead in opening his mouth to apologize, in fact, he had already wanted to leave the palace, but when Empress Dowager Han learned that he was coming to celebrate the birthday of Yun Ruonan, the lord of Yi'an County, she found a bunch of excuses to obstruct it. In the end, the emperor came forward in person and told the queen mother that it was Yun Yichen who invited him to let him go, and even Mu Fengwu was dragged down by him.
"It's good if you can come, you haven't eaten yet, Auntie will let people go down and prepare."
"I'm hungry, I'm being dragged down by this guy today, I ......" Mu Fengwu, who just wanted to find someone to complain, was pushed with his hand behind his back at the same time by Yun Yichen and Yun Yifan, he turned around and glared at the two of them angrily, even if you two are brothers, you don't want to bully people like this.
Yun Yifan made a "don't speak" mouth shape at him, and Mu Fengwu also remembered that the relationship between Empress Dowager Han and Princess Jing was not harmonious, so he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
Yin Qianhua didn't see the little trick between the three people, took a sip of tea and then ordered: "Qiuyue, you go to the kitchen and ask them to prepare a table of banquets, and there must be bad fish fillets and chestnut chicken." ”
"Thank you, Auntie." It is a very happy thing for someone to remember your taste, the Nine Emperor Princes are a little confused, the imperial aunt is obviously very good, why should the imperial grandmother make trouble and target her everywhere?
"I know that my aunt loves me the most, and it would be even more beautiful if there was another portion of braised mutton." Mu Feng realized that he was inching in.
"It's good to eat some, I don't think you're hungry." Yun Yifan sneered.
"Let the kitchen people put the food for you in the front hall, and Ah Chen will accompany them well."
"This is our gift to Sister Ruonan." Yun Yifan and Mu Fengwu asked people to present two gifts.
Xiao Yao, who had changed her clothes and was returning home, stopped not far from the stage.
"Miss Xiao, why don't you leave?" Autumn Shadow asked.
"There seem to be a lot of people in this courtyard, could it be that there are guests coming again, I won't go first, Aunt Autumn Shadow, you go and get busy first!" Xiao Yao looked around for a moment, and then asked.
Autumn Shadow looked around and found that there were indeed many more people in the courtyard, and judging by the clothes, they were all from the palace guards.
"Why don't I send you to the side hall first." Autumn Shadow asked.
"On the way back, I saw a pavilion, so I'll go there and sit down first."
"How can this be done, I'll send you to the side hall." Qiu Ying knew that her master valued the young lady in front of her very much, and her main task today was to take care of the two sisters, so she must not leave the sisters to do other things.
Xiao Yuan saw the two of them standing there and just talking and didn't move forward, and felt impatient after waiting for a while, anyway, the stage was close at hand, so she didn't even say hello, and trotted over first.
"Ruyi." When Xiao Yao found out that the person was gone, Xiao Yuan had already run away, and she was so loud that she could only watch Xiao Yuan break into the stage.
"Can you please ask my aunt to help me go see my sister, I'll go to the side hall and wait for your news." With Princess Jing here, nothing bad should happen, so Xiao Yao doesn't plan to follow.
"With the princess in you, don't worry, nothing will happen, I will send you to the door of the side hall, and I will take care of the second lady." Autumn Shadow insisted.
"Then it's going to trouble my aunt." originally wanted to avoid those boring young ladies, but in order to allow Qiu Ying to take care of her sister faster, Xiao Yao had no choice but to compromise.
Xiao Yuan ran to the place only to realize that something was wrong, and wanted to go back to find his sister, but was stopped by Yin Qianhua.
"Why did you come back alone, your sister and Autumn Shadow?"
Xiao Yuan glanced at Yun Yichen and the others, but didn't reply, just pointed with his finger in the direction he came.
"Hey, where did this little girl come from? When I saw her, I suddenly remembered Chubby. Mu Fengwu will always be the one with the fastest mouth, and the little girl in front of her has the same figure as the little fat man of the Xiao family, and she looks the same festive.
"You're good at it this time." Yun Yichen replied, his gaze involuntarily looked behind Xiao Yuan, why was the little girl not there.
"What do you mean by that?" Not only Mu Fengwu was waiting for an answer, Yun Yifan also looked at Xiao Yuan carefully, this little girl and the little fat man Xiao Qi did have a little similarity.
"This is Old Man Xiao's little granddaughter." Yun Yichen introduced the two of them.
"Aunt Princess, can you send me to my sister?" One Yun Shizi is scary enough, but two more suddenly appeared, Xiao Yuan regretted it very much at the moment, why didn't he stay with his sister honestly?
"Dragon and phoenix fetus! But she doesn't look like Xiao Zhuang at all? Mu Fengwu came to Xiao Yuan, almost on the other party's face, looking at and studying Xiao Yuan's appearance with a serious attitude that he had never seen before.
