The carriage staggered away, sending up a cloud of dust.

Lin Yingxue stood at the gate of the palace and watched the carriage go away, but she was a little uneasy in her heart - this time to go to the Imperial City, I hope everything will go smoothly.

"Miss, the carriage is far away, let's go in too." Miaoqin saw Lin Yingxue standing at the door for a long time without moving, so she couldn't help but remind in a low voice.

When Lin Yingxue heard this, she seemed to come back to her senses, and turned around and entered the palace with her skirt.

In a rare quiet time, Lin Yingxue leaned on the soft collapse to read a book after returning to the room, but the words in the book moved around like dense ants, so that Lin Yingxue didn't read a word for a long time.

"Wonderful book!" The sudden low shout made Lin Yingxue frown and turn her head.

This turned her head and saw that Miaoshu was busy wiping the tea she had accidentally spilled on the table, and Miaoqin was unhappy and whispered and blamed: "Miaoshu, what's wrong with you in the past two days, you are always absent-minded, this tea is spilled on the dim sum, and a good plate of dim sum has made you ruined......

“…… The slave knows that she is wrong, so the good sister will spare the slave and the maid this time...... "Miaoshu knew that she had done something wrong, and she didn't dare to refute it, but she just lowered her head and was coquettish, hoping to bring this matter over.

"No, once, twice, three times, how can you go back! I see that you little hooves are just relying on the good temper of the young lady, and you are so careless about doing things one by one......"

If it were the usual, Miaoqin would have passed with just two reprimands, but today Miaoqin seems to have a temper, and she still chatters for a long time.

Seeing Miaoshu pouting, a pair of small eyes were already full of tears, Lin Yingxue couldn't help shaking her head, sighed, put down the book in her hand and said: "I see that the weather outside the house is rare, you can go out with me today, and the other people in the courtyard can rest for a long day after they are busy with the things at hand." ”

"Yes, it's still Miss Bodhisattva!" When Miaoshu heard this, he was like grasping a life-saving straw, and hurriedly burst into tears and laughed, and after cleaning up the mess on the table, he hurriedly walked out.

"Look at your fiery appearance, can Miss still throw you down?!" Miaoqin watched from behind, and then turned her head and muttered in front of Lin Yingxue as if complaining: "Miss is usually too generous, look at what these little hooves are used to......"

"I don't blame them." Looking at Miaoqin's sullen appearance, Lin Yingxue stood up, stared out of the house and said, "I'm busy dealing with all kinds of things these days, and the people in the house have been nervous...... It's understandable that something goes wrong in such a situation. ”

And because a few people have been with her for so long, she has to be partial to these girls.

Miaoqin also understood in her heart, so she didn't say anything, and after blinking her eyes vigorously, she went down to arrange for Lin Yingxue to leave the house.

In the past, because of the war, everyone was in danger, and the streets were depressed, although there are signs of recovery recently, but on the whole it is still not as lively as before.

"Isn't this the prospective queen of the King of the Northwest...... "Xu is what Lin Yingxue has done in the past two days is too eye-catching, so Lin Yingxue was recognized after visiting two stores.

Lin Yingxue has always been low-key, seeing that there are more and more onlookers, her distant eyebrows frowned slightly, and whispered to Miaoqin: "Today's timing is not good, let's go back to the house first, and pick another day to come out." ”

"Yes." When Miaoqin heard this, she answered in a low voice, and hurriedly escorted Lin Yingxue out with Miaoshu left and right.

The three of them lowered their heads and walked quickly, and after finally getting rid of everyone's onlookers, Lin Yingxue saw Li Ji's signboard on the way back, so she couldn't help but move in her heart and said, "Last time Miaoshu bought this Li Ji's chestnut cake." ”

"Yes, the young lady wants to eat, so the slave will buy some more." Miaoshu heard Lin Yingxue's question, and was very clever to go forward to buy chestnut cake, Lin Yingxue nodded and did not stop her.

After hurrying back to the palace, Miaoshu hurriedly opened the chestnut cake that he had been holding in his hand, "Miss, eat it while it's hot, if this chestnut cake is cold, the taste will not be good." ”

Lin Yingxue nodded, she had been coveting this chestnut cake for a long time, so she naturally wouldn't let it go at this time, so she immediately picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.

The freshly baked chestnut cake, even if it is brought all the way back, is still warm, and it is soft and fragrant when you bite into it, which is very much the appetite of Lin Yingxue.

Seeing a satisfied smile on Lin Yingxue's peach-like face, Miaoshu also grinned.

It's just that Lin Yingxue was eating, and suddenly remembered that on the same journey, the three of them walked back to this chestnut cake together today, and it was still hot, but that day Miaoshu took the chestnut cake in her arms from outside the house and brought it back to her, but the chestnut cake was cold, what kind of reason is this?

Could it be that Miaoshu secretly went out of the house to buy chestnut cake for her that day just a pretense, but in fact she went out to do something else?

Lin Yingxue suddenly lost her appetite, and the wonderful book on the side saw Lin Yingxue put down the chestnut cake, thinking that Lin Yingxue was thirsty, so she poured a cup of hot tea for Lin Yingxue and went down to make new tea.

Looking at Miaoshu's busy figure, Lin Yingxue's mood suddenly began to complicate - is it because there have been too many things that have happened recently, so she has become suspicious of everything?

"What's wrong with Miss?" Miaoqin's voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

Lin Yingxue turned her head to look at Miaoqin, who didn't know when she came in, only to see Miaoqin staring at her with a frown, with a puzzled expression.

Lin Yingxue didn't rush to speak, she withdrew her gaze and stared at the white and glutinous chestnut cake quietly for a while, then she lightly opened her lips and said, "You have been secretly staring at Miaoshu for the past few days to see if there is any change in her." ”

"Wonderful book, ...... she? Be! Hearing that Lin Yingxue arranged for her to stare at Miaoshu, Miaoqin was obviously taken aback.

But Miaoqin never asked much about the things arranged by her own lady, but she saw her face solemn and whispered to answer the matter, but her heart was a mess.

In the next few days, everything was still as usual in the house, many times looking at Miaoshu's bright smile, Lin Yingxue once thought that she was too careful, until Miaoqin hurriedly came in from the door with a calm face that day, Lin Yingxue's heart 'chuckled' and completely sank to the bottom.

"But what are you staring at?" Lin Yingxue lowered her head and gently flicked the tea leaves floating in the teacup with the tea lid.

The green leaves slowly swam and spread out along Lin Yingxue's movements, but soon gathered together, like a basin of water mixed with sand, no matter how hard you try to restore it to its original purity, it will eventually be contaminated with impurities.

"Miss Hui." Miaoqin lowered her head, with a little sadness on her face, "The slave maid found out that Miaoshu secretly went out of the house today and handed a letter to a strange man, but I don't know what was written on the letter. ”

"The slave was afraid of startling the snake, so she didn't ask much, but hurried back and forth to Miss first."

Miaoqin's words made Lin Yingxue's heart sink again and again, her face was calm, but the movements in her hands became heavier and heavier, so that the tea in the cup splashed on the back of her hand.

But Lin Yingxue didn't seem to be aware of it, she just put the tea on the table, "Go and bring someone over." ”

Lin Yingxue's tone was calm, but Miaoqin vaguely heard a little bit of the coldness hidden under the calm.

"Yes." Miaoqin gave up, and hurriedly retreated in three or two steps.

Lin Yingxue stayed quietly in the house alone for a while, and soon Miaoqin brought people in.

"Miss is looking for a slave, but what do you have to order?" Miaoshu is not a fool, when Miaoqin went to call her, she had already sensed that Miaoqin was wrong, and now when she entered the room, she could feel the depression of the atmosphere, so her heart was unconsciously raised.

"How long has Miaoshu been with me?" Lin Yingxue did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

Miaoshu was shocked, and immediately knelt on the ground with a 'plop', "Miss Hui, it's been a few years." Although the slave maid has not been with the young lady for a long time, the young lady is like a family member to the slave and the maid, and being able to serve the young lady is a blessing from the third generation of the slave and maid! ”

"Really?" Lin Yingxue looked at the wonderful book, but her eyes were not as kind as before, but a little cold.

"Yes." Miaoshu only felt a feeling of uneasiness in her heart, she leaned down, and almost the whole person fell to the ground, as if she could avoid Lin Yingxue's questioning.

Lin Yingxue casually picked up the white porcelain teacup on the table and played with it lightly in her hand, and the tone on her mouth was still peaceful: "In this case, for the sake of the relationship between you and my master and servant for a few years, if you take the initiative to explain, I may be able to let you go, if you refuse to tell the truth......"

'Bell', as Lin Yingxue's words fell, the teacup in her hand also slipped down her palm, fell heavily to the ground, and became fragments on the ground.

"The slave doesn't understand what Miss means!" Miaoshu was so frightened that her whole body began to tremble.

"You, Miss is so good to you, you dare to deceive Miss, I think you are really impatient!" Miaoqin and Miaoshu have served Lin Yingxue for so long, and they still have some friendship with Miaoshu, but at this time, seeing Miaoshu obsessed, she couldn't help but wake up angrily.

Miaoshu was originally lucky, but now that Miaoqin said this, how could he not know what it meant?

"Miss spare your life! The slave maid never dared to have two hearts for the young lady, just because she had been in the north for a long time, and the slave maid missed her relatives who were still in the imperial city, so she was a little careless recently...... Miss Wang's discerning! ”

Miaoshu kowtowed to Lin Yingxue with a heavy cry.

Lin Yingxue sat on the top and looked down, but she couldn't see the expression of Miaoshu clearly, the only thing that could be seen was this girl who had been with her for a long time, her thin, trembling body.

"Miss ......" Seeing that Lin Yingxue was silent for a long time, Miaoqin couldn't help but plead softly on the side: "The slave is usually honest when she looks at Miaoshu, maybe there is indeed a misunderstanding in this......"

"Miss, why don't you send someone to check whether what this girl said is true, if it is true, it is better to return this girl's innocence, if it is not true...... It's not too late for Miss to clean up this girl......"

That's right.

Lin Yingxue's cold expression loosened slightly, "Just do as you say, take the person down to take care of the good life, and then go to the messenger to see if what she said is true." ”
