Chapter 49: The Choice
"Master, master, what do you mean by that? Master, you tell Xiaoxizi. Xiaoxizi asked anxiously.
Liu Xuan leaned over to him and said, "Xiaoxizi, think about it, who doesn't know that your master is me Liu Xuan, although I Liu Xuan is also beautiful in the harem, there are a lot of people who want to play tricks with our family behind my back, if the other family knows about your relationship with He'er, can He'er still have a stable life?" ”
Xiaoxizi was stunned, and hurriedly said: "The queen loves He'er so much, she will-"
Liu Xuan said: "Hmph, the queen mother herself is difficult to protect, you see that weak queen can't even keep her daughter, how can she keep a little palace maid?" ”
Liu Xuan had something to say, Xiao Xizi felt that these words had another deep meaning, could it be that Liu Xuan knew who was going to murder the little princess?
Xiao Xizi grabbed Liu Xuan's sleeve with red eyes, and begged bitterly: "Master, Xiao Xizi really likes He'er, ask the master to be perfect, master, you must have a way." ”
"Hmph-" Liu Xuan shook off his hand and said with a cold face: "I don't know how to lift, our family will put the words here today, do you want a living He'er or a dead He'er, choose for yourself." ”
Xiaoxizi hung his head in pain, he didn't understand why he couldn't be with He'er, as a eunuch, it took him a lot of courage to like a woman, He'er was his life.
But if the price is He'er's life, then he would rather not be with He'er.
Xiaoxizi was unavoidable all night, and his face turned white with pain in his buttocks, so he forcibly came to Zhaohua Palace, pretending to be nothing, and continued to work.
He'er got up early today, wiped some rouge on her face, and Bu Wanwan saw it at a glance, He'er didn't behave right today, and she snickered from time to time, Bu Wanwan stared at her for a long time before asking, "He'er, did you wipe rouge today?" ”
After hearing this, He'er raised her hand and touched her face in shock, lowered her head and smiled: "Back to Niangniang's words, I did smear some, Niangniang rewarded a lot of things before, and the slave saw that the rouge was a pity in the cabinet, and I used it today." ”
"Oh." Buwanwan didn't say anything, just beckoned her to come over.
He'er was curious to her, and Bu Wanwan took out a jasper hairpin from the cabinet and said, "He'er is originally a beauty, this palace looks at this jasper hairpin with your makeup today, you come and try it." ”
Buwanwan was about to put it on He'er, and suddenly saw that there was a hairpin on her head that was very special, not like the style in the palace, and there was just such a thing back and forth in the palace, and the emperor also rewarded her a lot, and Buwanwan could still see it.
After Bu Wanwan inserted it into her casually, she asked with a smile: "He'er, do you have any happy events to tell this palace today?" ”
He'er was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Bu Wanwan to ask her first, she hadn't figured out how to open this mouth with her, but she thought that Bu Wanwan would definitely agree to her.
When He'er was about to speak, she suddenly saw a stream in the yard, and hurriedly bowed her head and said, "Niangniang, how can the slave and maid have any happy events, the slave and maid will go down to work first." ”
He'er said that, he bowed and retreated.
Bu Wanwan has always had a very good relationship with the palace people of Zhaohua Palace, and he doesn't care about some false courtesies, so he naturally doesn't care about He'er's actions.
He Erlian moved lightly, walked directly to Xiaoxizi, and said softly: "Xiaoxizi, has your master agreed?" ”
Xiaoxizi heard the sound and slowly turned her head to look at her, but her eyes were a little evasive, and she only pretended to be confused: "Huh? What's the matter? ”
When He'er heard this, she was immediately displeased, "Xiaoxizi, if you do this again, I will ignore you." ”
Xiaoxizi lowered her eyes and said, "Good sister, what are you talking about?" Why can't I understand? ”
"Don't understand?" He'er frowned and glared at him, obviously she gently told her last night that she would ask the master to allow them to make a meal today, and today Xiaoxizi began to pretend to be confused with her?
When He'er was about to get angry, Lin Qingning suddenly came over with a smile, and He'er and Xiaoxizi hurriedly saluted her, "See Concubine Lin." ”
He'er raised her eyes slightly, and glanced at the palace maid Baojuan standing beside Lin Qingning, Baojuan was looking at them with affection at the moment, He'er frowned slightly, the person Baojuan looked at from this angle was clearly Xiaoxizi, He'er suddenly felt a burst of jealousy.
Lin Qingning looked at Xiaoxizi and said: "Xiaoxizi, why are you still stunned here, don't you hurry up and prepare, today your master came to Bengong, saying that you and Baojuan are in love, let Bengong allow you to make a pair of food, Bengong agreed, Bengong is the most distressed Baojuan, this girl, you have to treat her well in the future." ”
What the?
He'er looked at Baojuan in a daze, and then looked at Xiaoxizi, her eyes dimmed, her brows furrowed, and she felt bitter and uncomfortable for a while, she endured it, but her eyes were still red.
Xiao Xizi gave Lin Qingning a thankful salute with an expressionless face, "Thank you Concubine Lin for her success, the slave must be good to Miss Baojuan." ”
Lin Qingning said with a smile: "Your marriage has been decided, why do you still call the girl, it's time to change your words." ”
Xiao Xizi paused for a moment before he said bitterly: "The slave will definitely not live up to Concubine Lin's expectations, and will definitely treat Baojuan well." ”
He'er couldn't help it for a while, and her tears kept rolling and almost fell.
Baojuan didn't know why, she only looked at Xiaoxizi shyly, and was happy in her heart, although Xiaoxizi was a eunuch, but fortunately, she looked good, and his master was Liu Xuan, and Xiaoxizi had a meal against her, and in the future, those minions would have to look up to her.
"Concubine Lin is here." Buwanwan could see clearly in the hall and walked out.
Lin Qingning saluted her according to the courtesy, and said with a smile: "The queen mother came just in time, there is finally a happy event in the Zhaohua Palace, the Zhaohua Palace is too deserted for a while, and it is always good to have one more happy event." ”
Buwanwan smiled softly: "What a happy event, tell me about it." ”
"Naturally, Xiaoxizi and Baojuan, the queen mother, they are talented men and women, very compatible?"
Buwanwan's eyes swept over Xiaoxizi, but she didn't look at Baojuan, but fell on He'er, Buwanwan said to Lin Qingning: "But how can this palace feel that Xiaoxizi and He'er are a bit of a match." ”
Bu Wanwan seemed to have no intention of mentioning such a sentence, everyone was stunned, He'er didn't expect that her thoughts would be seen by Bu Wanwan, and Baojuan was a little displeased, originally the matter between her and Xiaoxizi was decided, but when the queen said this, she was jealous.
Lin Qingning was stunned, she didn't understand why Bu Wanwan suddenly said this, but instead broke her words, but fortunately, she finished Bu Wanwan's mind and knew that she was not the kind of person who borrowed words to scare people, so Lin Qingning also glanced at He'er, only to find that He'er's eyes were red, and there was indeed some ambiguity between He'er and Xiaoxizi.
Lin Qingning came back to his senses and asked Xiaoxizi, "Xiaoxizi, after all, this matter is a major matter related to the rest of your life, you might as well make your own decision, and see if you like Baojuan or He'er, they are the personal maids of the palace and the queen's mother, you had better speak carefully." ”
