Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Meaning of the Prince
"Lord Wang!" Xiao Li lost his voice, covered his mouth again, and looked left and right, afraid that someone would hear.
"Yes, the prince is going to stay in our house for a few days, mother, you don't have to be afraid." Chen Xiaoxiao emphasized again, "Mother, when my father comes back, you have to tell him, and, mother, you have to call me Poria in front of the prince, this is my name in the palace." ”
She didn't say it when she first came back, because she didn't know that the prince was coming, and it was okay to call it at home, and now that the prince is still living in, she naturally can't make a taboo.
When Xiao Li heard this, tears fell, "Why did you change your name?" Mother's Xiaoxiao, why is her life so bitter! ”
Chen Xiaoxiao cheered up and comforted Xiao Li, "When I entered the palace, my daughter couldn't call her previous name, and Poria was actually very good." ”
She was in the palace, and she asked others, Poria cocos is actually a flavored medicinal material, and it is good to call it this name.
"It's not good to be a mother, if it's not a mother, you don't have to buy medicine, and you won't be cheated by Lu Lang!" Xiao Li said with eyes as red as a rabbit.
"Mother, don't cry, crying too much is not good for your eyes, and when your daughter leaves the house in the future, you can restore your name." Chen Xiaoxiao wiped away her tears for her mother in distress.
Xiao Li's expression was wistful, and he smiled reluctantly, "Mother knows." ”
She cheered up and tried to pull out a big smile, in order not to make her daughter sad.
This incident made her fear of King An not get rid of much, but increased a lot, and she resisted King An's arrival even more.
Chen Xiaoxiao made the bed and folded the quilt on it, and An Wang had a lot of clothes, so she laid them flat on top of the wooden box and waited for backup.
After doing this, Chen Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to cook, and there was no need to prepare the prince's meal in the afternoon, they cooked a little and ate a little at will.
Chen Dashan went to open the wasteland and came back, Xiao Li grabbed him and said about it, he was as scared as Xiao Li, and when they were eating, their teeth were chattering.
No matter how Chen Xiaoxiao comforted them and told them that King An was not an unreasonable person, they just couldn't listen.
In the evening, when King An arrived with Wang Decai and a few people from Cangbai Canghai, Chen Xiaoxiao's family saw people kneeling at the door, "Meet the prince!" ”
King An bowed his head and said indifferently, "Get up, don't be polite." ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang!"
Chen Xiaoxiao helped Xiao Li up, Chen Dashan's legs were a little weak, but Wang Decai helped him to stand up.
The peasant family facing the loess with their backs to the sky, the biggest official they have ever seen is the county order, and this time there is a prince, which makes them at a loss.
King An walked in, and Chen Xiaoxiao hurriedly let go of Xiao Li to keep up.
Wang Decai, "Poria cocos, where is the room you cleaned up?" The prince has been tired for a long day. ”
Chen Xiaoxiao, "Over here." ”
She took them to the house she cleaned up, Wang An sat on the chair, Wang Decai squatted down to massage his feet, and said, "Poria cocos, you remember to tell your father and mother not to make a noise, the prince doesn't want too many people to know about it." ”
At present, only Village Chief Chen and Poria and the Poria family know their identities, and there is no one else.
King An came this time, and he didn't even inform the county order.
Chen Xiaoxiao, "The slave knows, Lord Wang, the water has been prepared, can you bring it up now?" ”
King An sat tiredly, listened to her say this, and nodded, "Go ahead." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao walked out, went to the well, poured the water into the wooden bucket, and was about to lift it, when Chen Dashan came in, "Erya, let me carry it." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao responded with a smile, "That's okay, Dad, you carry it to that room, there is a bath bucket in it, you just pour it in, don't talk too much." ”
Chen Dashan nodded, he brought a total of five buckets of cold water before finishing.
The Chen family's bath bucket was made by Chen Dashan himself by going up the mountain to cut down trees, and it was relatively large, and it was no problem for two people to sit inside.
When the water was put away, he said by the door, "Lord, the water is ready, if you have something to do, call the grass people." ”
Wang Decai, "Okay, you go down, our family will call you if there is something." ”
Chen Dashan sighed and went to the kitchen to talk to Chen Xiaoxiao.
In the house, Wang Decai served King An to take off his clothes, he sat in the bathtub, and asked the old slave next to him, "How many days does the people in this king's mansion rest in a month?" ”
Wang Decai Hou was on the side, "Go back to the prince, two days." ”
King An closed his eyes, that is, there was still a day tomorrow, he leaned on the edge of the bath tub, and felt a lot more comfortable, "Let Poria not have to go back tomorrow, just wait by the king's side." ”
Wang Decai's eyes lit up, did this girl enter the eyes of the prince? He lowered his voice and said, "The prince is going to ...... tonight."
The words of Zhao Ling's service were swallowed raw in Wang Decai's throat, and Wang An's eyes were cold and terrifying, so Wang Decai shut up.
An Wang sat in the bathtub, his handsome and peerless face was as warm as his eyes.
"That'...... Lord, let's go out and look for Poria cocos. After Wang Decai finished speaking, he looked at King An, and when he saw that King An ignored him, he silently withdrew.
When he came outside, Cangbai and Canghai were guarding outside, so he left to find Chen Xiaoxiao with confidence.
Chen Xiaoxiao and the three of them had been waiting in the hall, and they didn't dare to go back to the room without King An's permission.
Wang Decai waved his hand, "Sit, sit." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao and the three of them sat back again, waiting for Wang De to speak.
Wang Decai looked at Chen Dashan and Xiao Li and said, "You two can go and rest, the prince has nothing else for you to do, let's go and rest first, our family has something to say to Poria Cocos." ”
Chen Dashan looked at Chen Xiaoxiao hesitantly, Chen Xiaoxiao nodded, and they went to the house.
Wang Decai, "Poria, you don't have to go back to the house tomorrow, you will wait in front of the prince from tomorrow." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she stood up again, wanting to refuse but not daring, "Princess, don't slaves and maids have to go back to the palace tomorrow?" ”
"No, this is what the prince meant, you don't have to worry about it in the house, by the way, how did you come back?" Wang Decai asked.
Chen Xiaoxiao said respectfully, "The slave and maid came back in the carriage of the palace, it was the carriage driven by the third brother Lin, and today it was agreed to wait for the slave and maid at the entrance of the village tomorrow afternoon." ”
"Then you go to the entrance of the village in the afternoon and wait, let Lin San go to the housekeeper and say that you will go back later, it is our family's meaning."
"Yes, the slave knows."
"You...... We ask you, do you have that, what do you mean? Wang Decai winked at Chen Xiaoxiao and hesitated to speak.
Chen Xiaoxiao was confused, "What do you mean?" ”
"That's what it means, that, you know?"
Chen Xiaoxiao shook her head, "I don't understand ......"
"Ahem, forget it...... Go to sleep, too, for this is your day of rest, and the water will be poured by them. ”
Wang Decai gave up and left Chen Xiaoxiao to go back, anyway, King An didn't mean that, maybe he just said it casually, and he couldn't take it seriously.
Chen Xiaoxiao felt quite sudden, which made her confused, what did the princess say, did it mean anything, and did she understand it......
She went back to her room, blew out the candle, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
