As if he didn't notice the pearl's gaze, Ye Xinyi gently shook the flower and bird fan in his hand, and asked with a smile, "This weather, it only rained last night, and I just felt cooler, but in the blink of an eye, the sun came up again, and it became hot again." In such weather, it's hard for Aunt Pearl to make this trip, but I don't know what the concubine has to order? ”
This is a question about her purpose.
Pearl half-lowered her eyes, and said in a soft tone, "It's not a big deal, it's just because of the hot weather, the concubine Niangniang is a little sad these days, and she doesn't eat and sleep well." The princess is filial, and she has nothing to do in the palace, so she made some food by herself, and those pastries are actually very good. The princess thought about Mrs. Shen in her heart, so she made another one and brought it to Mrs. Shen, and let Mrs. Shen taste it. ”
At this time? Send her pastries? Moreover, either she asked the cicada to send it, but it alarmed this Aunt Pearl, who was a close confidant of Concubine Xie? Ye Xinyi's hand holding the fan paused slightly, but there was not a single star on his face, and he still smiled slightly, "Thank you really for your concubine and princess." ”
Ye Xinyi's expression was as usual, but the pearl was a little stiff on her face, and all kinds of emotions were turned and entangled, which made her face distort for a moment, she bit her lower lip tightly, as if she was hesitant, and seemed to be uneasy, and after a while, she gritted her teeth fiercely, and she slipped off the chair without saying anything, and knelt down in front of Ye Xinyi.
Ye Xinyi was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise, "What is Aunt Pearl doing?" Hurry up, please. "Just like Pearl, the palace maid who is reused in front of the lord of the first palace, no matter whether the internal and external women are called "aunt", no matter what speculation or precautions Ye Xinyi has about the pearl in her heart, it will not prevent her from calling this "aunt", not to mention, in terms of age, Pearl should be in her twenties, seven or eight years older than her, and it will not suffer if she shouts "aunt".
Ye Xinyi said, he had already gotten up, and he wanted to reach out to help the pearl in person.
Pearl hurriedly stepped aside, lowered her body, and was already kneeling, "Mrs. Shen, slave maid...... The slave maid asked for this errand by herself, just because the slave maid had something to ask to see Lord Shen. ”
This was somewhat unexpected. The fan in Ye Xinyi's hand shook lightly, "You..... Want to see my family? ”
The tone was quiet, and there was no joy or anger to hear.
Pearl's body trembled for some reason, and then gritted his teeth and responded, "Yes." ”
Ye Xinyi stood up straight in silence, and didn't speak for a while.
Pearl was afraid that she didn't know what she meant, so she moved her body a little uneasily, and glanced cautiously out of the corner of her eye, but because of her kneeling posture, she could only see the elegant skirt of the white threaded skirt hanging in front of her, and the pair of plain satin soft shoes under the skirt that showed a toe of the shoe.
Behind him, the sound of small and light footsteps came, but he paused at the door, obviously seeing the current situation, he was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to retreat or approach.
I'm afraid that it was the cuiyi maid who was instructed by the Ye family to make tea for her.
Pearl was a little embarrassed, after all, a palace maid who had always been high in charge of the palace had now lost such a big face in front of such a little maid, but she gritted her teeth, didn't say a word, stiffened her body and didn't move, and still knelt in front of Ye.
Because of the arrival of the maid, Ye Xinyi finally made a move, turned around and walked a few steps, returned to Fang Cai's chair and sat down, and then said, "Liu Lu, help Aunt Pearl up first." ”
Liu Lu replied "yes", then entered the flower hall, put down the tray in his hand, and then slowly walked over to mix the pearls, "Aunt Pearl, please hurry up." ”
Pearl stood up and stood crampedly in front of her, but she refused to sit anymore, her eyes wandered and swept to Ye Xinyi, who was sitting on the main seat.
Ye Xinyi looked at her quietly with a pair of eyes, with a smile on her face, she couldn't see her joy or anger, and the flower and bird fan in her hand was gently fanned on her chest.
Ye Xinyi's mood has not changed, but it makes the pearl's heart even more bottomless, as time goes by, Ye Xinyi still doesn't say a word, in the entire flower hall, the needle drop can be heard, in such weather, the pearl's sideburns are dripping with cold sweat, and the bottom of his heart is even more faint and cold.
Ye Xinyi finally chuckled twice, "Aunt Pearl invited this errand by herself, but it was actually to meet my family, which really made me a little sad." ”
At this time, Liu Lu knew what had happened when she left, and immediately stared at Pearl coldly.
Pearl had already stood up straight, although her face was slightly pale, she finally held it up, and looked back at Ye Xinyi with a calm expression, but she didn't say a word.
She didn't say anything and asked to see Shen Yue, and Ye Xinyi didn't even ask her.
That's right, this should be what the cronies around Concubine Xie should look like, no one is stupid, who are you fooling when you make that look?
Ye Xinyi pursed the corners of his lips and leaned back on the chair behind him, "However, my family has been busy with official business recently, and I haven't been back to the house for two days, and I am not in the house at this time, so it is really unfortunate that Aunt Pearl came." ”
Pearl bowed her head and said, "The slave and maid confessed at the concubine Niangniang today, until the palace gate is keyed, the slave and maid can stay outside, and I hope that Mrs. Shen will have mercy and let the slave and maid wait in the house." I can't say it, Lord Shen will go back to the house in a while. ”
Ye Xinyi looked at her slightly lowered neck, which was slender and well-proportioned, so good-looking, but she suddenly felt a little tired of dealing with it like this, and her eyes quietly turned cold, "That's it!" It is difficult for Aunt Pearl to leave the palace, since she has to wait, then wait! If my family doesn't go home, I can't do anything. But if he really went home, it would be considered that Aunt Pearl didn't come in vain. ”
These words, gently and faintly, fell on Pearl's ears, but she couldn't help but tremble.
Ye Xinyi was unconscious, and waved his hand lightly, "Liu Lu, since Aunt Pearl is here to see the adult, don't let her feel uncomfortable in front of me, you invited her to the side hall and wait!" ”
"Yes!" Liu Lu curtled his knees, and when he looked at Pearl, his expression became much colder, but he was not rude, "Please, Aunt Pearl." ”
Pearl looked a little uneasy, and looked at Ye Xinyi, but the latter seemed to be tired, and closed her eyes lightly, before she gritted her teeth and curtsied, "Thank you, Mrs. Shen." ”
Then he followed behind Liu Lu, left the flower hall, and went to the side hall.
When they went out, Ye Xinyi opened his eyes and opened the delicate box in his hand, which was divided into eight petals, and a kind of pastry was placed in each petal, although there were only a few of them, but they were also full of boxes.
Liu Lu sent the pearl to the side hall, and explained to Peach to take care of it, and then quickly turned around, entered the flower hall, and said, "Madam, what does this aunt mean?" She wants to meet adults, isn't it more convenient to go to the yamen? I'm afraid she deliberately came to her wife to add to the blockage, right? Although Liu Lu's tone was quiet, he couldn't hide his anger.
