Chapter 44: Sleepless Nights
Bai Zhi was stunned when she heard this, yes, every time the prince came back from a long trip, he stayed at the princess's place for one night first, and she was confused.
She hurriedly walked back, Chen Xiaoxiao saw that there was no one else behind her, and was surprised, "Are you not coming?" Can I eat? โ
Angelica Angelica, "......"
Shouldn't she ask her why the prince didn't come, why is he still worried about eating?
She couldn't help but suspect that her master's previous judgment of her master's favor was wrong.
"Can't you yet? I'm so hungry that I haven't eaten all day. "It is said that it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, Chen Xiaoxiao went home, and it was uncomfortable to be a little hungry.
Bai Zhi said helplessly, "It's okay, you can use it, the prince won't come tonight, and he fell asleep in the princess's courtyard." โ
Chen Xiaoxiao picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and when she heard that it was just a hum, she put her eyes on the dishes on the table, Bai Zhi wanted to give her the vegetables, she refused, and Bai Zhi stood behind her.
She kept sandwiching dishes, she preferred meat to vegetarian dishes, and in order to wait for King An, there had to be seven or eight dishes at this table.
This plate is small, otherwise it will be a waste, Chen Xiaoxiao sighed in her heart, and finished the meal quietly.
After eating and drinking, Chen Xiaoxiao collapsed in her chair and didn't want to speak.
Bai Zhi asked people to take down the tableware and reminded her, "Master, rest early, and tomorrow I will go to the princess's courtyard to ask for tea." โ
"Tea ceremony, oh, by the way, I'm going to the princess's courtyard tomorrow to say goodbye, what should I do? I don't know anything about this, can you tell me about it? Chen Xiaoxiao could only turn to Bai Zhi for help.
Bai Zhi thought for a while and said, "You go to the princess tomorrow and say hello to the princess, the tea can only be given to the princess alone, and you can just ask the people next to you." โ
"And what else do I need to pay attention to?"
"You have to pay attention to the prince and the side concubine, they have to call themselves concubines, and they can call themselves me to the minions, and the others are gone, and the slaves and maids don't know anything else."
"That's just one step at a time." Chen Xiaoxiao frowned, not knowing what to do, how to deal with it tomorrow?
Bai Zhi persuaded, "It's useless for you to think about this, it's better to sleep well and be more energetic tomorrow." โ
Chen Xiaoxiao nodded and returned to the room, what should come will always come, don't do these senseless struggles.
After Bai Zhi turned off the light, she lay on her side.
There are several people who have insomnia in the palace tonight, including Concubine Liu.
Her silver teeth were about to be crushed, and she lost her temper angrily, "I said what's the matter, Poria this girl, you see that this is just a trip home, and she has become a concubine, and this concubine really underestimated her." โ
The house was a mess, full of porcelain broken by Concubine Liu.
Liuli didn't dare to persuade on the side, but said weakly, "Concubine Bian, you are good, what are you angry with those subordinates?" It's hard to be angry and your body is broken. โ
Concubine Liu sat down, still not relieved her anger, "She didn't listen to Concubine Ben's words at all, she put Concubine Ben on the soles of her feet and stepped on them fiercely." โ
Liuli said, "Then the side concubine, you will embarrass her tomorrow, the left and right are just a concubine, can you compare with the side concubine?" โ
Concubine Liu didn't speak, and Liuli saw that Concubine Liu seemed to listen, so she called someone to clean up the mess in the house.
In the Silhouette Pavilion, Princess An Liu Ruyu pulled the little prince Murong Qi and Murong Sheng to salute.
Murong Qi was only five years old, but he was well raised by Princess An, and he looked like a little adult in everything he said and did. โ
Murong Sheng didn't have a smile in his eyes, he just nodded indifferently, "Get up." โ
Murong Qi stood up, he was a little aggrieved, and his tears were pressed back by him, and in his little head, he couldn't understand why his father didn't like him.
It's the same today, obviously he has worked hard to learn etiquette, but his father still hasn't praised him.
Liu Ruyu was distressed and took out a small handkerchief to carefully wipe his sweat, Murong Qi stopped her, and reached out to wipe his sweat with a handkerchief.
Liu Ruyu said with a smile, "Look, Lord Wang, when the little prince grows up, he doesn't want to get close to the concubine." โ
Murong Sheng's face did not change, and he did not react when he heard what Liu Ruyu said, and said to Murong Qi, "You go and rest, it's late at night." โ
Murong Qi's eyes suddenly dimmed with anticipation, and he said obediently, "Yes, Father." โ
His little guard came over to pick him up, and after the others left, Liu Ruyu approached Murong Sheng and asked, "Is the prince going to rest too?" โ
Murong Sheng, "Wait a while, this king will read the book, and you can rest by yourself." โ
He remembered something, and said again, "Tomorrow, you will take care of Poria more." โ
Liu Ruyu felt a thorn in her heart, pretending to be fine, "The concubine knows, the concubine heard that she called Xiaoxiao before entering the mansion?" โ
Mu Rongsheng naturally didn't pay attention, and the hand holding the book unintentionally turned the page, "These, you should ask Wang Decai." โ
Liu Ruyu also asked tentatively, and she was relieved that the prince was not sincere, "The concubine is confused, then the princess, you continue to read, and the concubine will not bother." โ
She stood up and returned to the house with the purple clothes.
Murong Sheng stared at her back for a long time before he looked away and continued to read.
Inside the house, Ziyi felt unhappy for her princess, and whispered, "Princess, you are too wronged." โ
Liu Ruyu sat in front of the dresser and waited for Ziyi to undress her jewelry, her eyes were empty, and she finally sighed, "In the end, I have failed him, and he can't be blamed for this, he can take care of my face, and I have nothing else to ask for." โ
"What did you say, Princess?" Ziyi felt that she didn't hear clearly, and asked.
"It's fine."
Ziyi was puzzled, and then said, "The slave just thinks it's too worthless, don't be angry, princess." โ
"You don't understand." Ziyi is not the dowry maid she brought in the boudoir, and her maids are long gone, so naturally they don't understand.
Ziyi was still chattering, "This time I took in another concubine, how should you live in the future, princess." โ
Liu Ruyu didn't care, "How else can I live, she is a concubine, I am the main room, she is sad, she may not be better tomorrow." โ
Ziyi was relieved, yes, what nonsense did she say, how could it be her princess who was sad.
"That Liu Concubine ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
"Ignore it."
"Yes."
The prince must have different feelings for this Chen Xiaoxiao, and he doesn't know what happened when they went out, as soon as he came back, the prince wanted to take a concubine, and asked her to take more care of the girl.
Another day, I should ask the prince about it.
After the purple clothes waited for Liu Ruyu to change clothes, Liu Ruyu went to her big bed and lay down habitually, although she knew that the prince would not come in, but she was still looking forward to it.
After she left, Murong Sheng read the book for half an hour before falling asleep in the side hall.
Tonight, the palace is a sleepless night.
