Chapter 21: The Caged Bird
The royal wedding was very dull, and after the carriage had circled around Shengjing, I entered through the side door of the palace.
The women in this palace, except for the queen, can enter the palace through the main entrance.
Originally, when the prince got married, he would have built the prince's mansion outside the palace, but His Royal Highness did not have a mansion, and he simply did not, so now I can enter the palace so justifiably.
Entering through the side door, I heard three clangs outside, and the carriage made a "bang" sound on the bluestone slab.
I heard the sound of the door opening, and in my mind, it was as if my brain had made up, the "birdcage" opened, and I voluntarily entered it.
Now, it's really a caged bird.
"Chu Liangdi, for a while, you just need to sit in the palace, and after His Royal Highness's ceremony, after the ceremony, it is possible to go to your palace, of course, there is Zhuo Baolin today, although your position is higher than her, but Zhuo Baolin's family background is prominent, so even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stays in Zhuo Baolin Palace tonight, it is normal." Aunt Zhao's words seemed to be comforting me, telling me not to compete with Zhuo Xinyue for favor.
I nodded: "Auntie, don't worry, I know." ”
"That'll be fine." Aunt Zhao said, and the carriage finally went around to the palace where I was going to stay.
As soon as I got out of the carriage, I heard the salute: "Slave, please say hello to Chu Liangdi!" ”
Listening to that voice, there should be dozens of people.
Aunt Zhao sighed, stretched out her hand, helped me get out of the carriage, and she led me to sit in the dormitory in this palace.
After this round of tossing, I guess that it must be almost noon by now.
And I, who haven't eaten a grain of rice, are now gurgling in my belly.
Aunt Zhao seemed to hear it, coughed slightly, and then motioned for me to raise my feet and step into the threshold.
I lowered my eyes slightly, looked at my feet, step by step, and walked with Aunt Zhao for a long time, before I arrived at the couch, which was covered with a fiery red futon cushion, and after sitting down, I still felt panicked, lifted the corner of the futon, and found that peanuts, melon seeds and red dates were sprinkled underneath.
After Aunt Zhao helped me sit down, she said to me: "Chu Liangdi rest, the old slave retires!" ”
"Aunt Zhao, where are you going?" In my palace, now she is such an "acquaintance", and as soon as she leaves, I am really a little panicked.
"Chu Liangdi, this is your palace maid Wen Yuan, the steward of Muyan Palace, if you have anything in the future, just tell her." Aunt Zhao said, I gently lifted the corner of the hijab, looked out, and what caught my eye was a slightly round face.
She smiled sweetly at me: "Master, what is the matter with you, just tell the slave and maid!" ”
"Okay." I nodded and looked at Aunt Zhao again.
Aunt Zhao leaned over me and retreated.
I looked at the dormitory again, the dormitory was simple and elegant, but it was quite to my liking.
"Gollum!"
My stomach began to scream again, as if it was constantly telling me that it was hungry.
The Wen Kite immediately glanced at the screen of the dormitory, which was divided into two by the screen several feet long.
Wen Kite walked quickly towards the end of the screen.
My hands were on my belly, and my stomach was still protesting.
"On this day, you haven't eaten less? Why are you so hungry now? I said to myself. Niuniu Chinese Network
And the kite, carrying a plate of pastries, quietly came to me.
"Master, eat quickly, Your Highness, you can't come over until night, if you want to wait for Your Highness, it is estimated that you will be hungry for a long time." After Wen Yuan finished speaking, he motioned for me to eat the pastry.
"It's not in order, is it? In a moment, you will be punished. "I looked at Wen Kite, this girl should be about the same age as me.
"Huh!" Wen Yuan smiled: "Master, it is the master of this Muyan Palace, except for you, who will punish the slaves and maids in this Muyan Palace?" ”
"Oh? Really? "I'm still in a trance.
This "master" is inexplicable.
However, this stomach was indeed too hungry, so he was not polite to Wen Kite, took the porcelain plate, and began to eat pastries one by one.
Wen Yuan stood on one side and kept saying, "Master, slow down." ”
She also poured me a cup of tea, and after I ate the pastries and drank the hot tea, I was finally much more comfortable.
So, he raised his head and asked Wen Yuan: "Wen Yuan, what age are you?" ”
"Back to the master, the slave maid is nineteen years old this year!" Wen Yuan said, and handed me a plate of peach blossom cake.
"Nineteen? That's my sister. I said in passing.
When Wen Yuan heard this, he immediately knelt down for me in a panic: "The master has tormented the slave!" ”
"Hurry up, I don't have so many rules, you don't need to be so cautious." I hurriedly put down the pastry and helped Wen Kite up.
Wen Yuan was still flustered: "Master, there are many rules in the palace, you are Liangdi, how many pairs of eyes are staring, you must be cautious." ”
"Well, okay, I got it, you get up." I stretched out my hand, but Wen Yuan avoided it in panic, and stood up in a panic.
I have also been in this palace, and I know that the palace rules are very harsh on these palace maids and eunuchs, and the lives of these minions are as if they are not fate, and they are not even as good as grass mustard.
Therefore, seeing that Wen Kite was scared, I hurriedly put up the shelf and returned the pastry to Wen Kite again, while I sat upright and continued to wait.
As Wen Yuan said, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not show up until it was dark.
I got up when I was ugly today, this hour, I have been yawning for a long time, but because there is no news from His Royal Highness, I don't know if I will stay at Zhuo Xinyue's tonight, or come to me, so I can't change this wedding dress, I still have to wait obediently.
"Master, are you hungry? Come, eat some meat soup. Wen Yuan came in with a white porcelain cup, and after opening it, the smell of meat immediately overflowed.
I was already a little numb from hunger, but now when I smell the fragrance, I immediately stretch out my hand to take the stew pot.
"Master, be careful of burning." Wen Yuan still has a cloth under his hand, dragging the stew cup.
I took it carefully, and the broth was tender in my mouth.
"Master, slow down, if you still want it, His Highness ordered someone to prepare a lot for you, and when you finish eating, the slave and maid will take it for you." Seeing that I was eating deliciously, Wen Yuan also stood aside, smiling very happily.
"Your Highness ordered someone to prepare?" I looked at Wen Kite, still with meat in my mouth.
"Well, it was prepared by His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness said that the master must be hungry when he was running around this day, by the way, His Royal Highness also prepared a sugar gourd, saying that the master likes to eat sugar gourd the most." After Wen Yuan finished speaking, he paused: "Master, our Highness, I really love my master." ”
I just smiled bitterly, and the meat soup in my mouth, as if at this moment, suddenly lost its taste, so I immediately put it down and let Wen Yuan take it out.
The more he thought about me, the more I felt indebted, and the more uneasy my heart became.
