Chapter 54: Ah Ci's Request
"What? Did the prince really say he was coming to see me? Jiahe stood up from the couch abruptly, and then reached out to squeeze Zheng Liang's hand, "Is it true?" You didn't lie to me? ”
Zheng Liang is face was relaxed, "Your Highness, the slave has already said that no matter whether the people in Beiyin know about this rule or not, the slave will find a way to let them know." ”
Jiahe blinked and looked at him in surprise, "Is that you?" What do you think...... Did you ask someone from the prince's side to come over? ”
Zheng Liang just smiled and didn't speak.
Jiahe tilted his head, more interested, "But how did you do it?" This palace sees that you are always by the side of this palace, and you haven't seen you for a long time, you went to see the people of Beiyin in person? ”
Zheng Liang shook his head, "Your Highness can't be without people to serve you, how can a slave leave." ”
Jiahe said, "Then how did you ......?"
Zheng Liang smiled, "Your Highness, what's the matter, after all, the prince said that he was coming, and His Highness should still prepare early, so as not to be a little hasty when facing the prince." ”
Jiahe nodded hurriedly, "What you said is that the palace is still changing clothes quickly." She grabbed Zheng Liang, "Did the prince say when he would come over?" ”
"The people around the prince came to inquire and said that it was convenient for His Royal Highness to come in the afternoon, and he asked His Highness for forgiveness, and the slave should come down first without asking His Highness."
Where would Jiahe blame him for such a thing, he just nodded, "It's nothing, how can I blame you for such a thing, you promised well, it's not early in the afternoon, so that the palace can have enough time to prepare, and it's not too late, let the prince wait for a long time." What a good time. ”
Zheng Liang smiled, bowed down again and prepared to withdraw, Jiahe looked at him, "Where are you going?" ”
She is now more and more inseparable from Zheng Liang.
Zheng Liang said, "The slave went to let Sister Ah Ci come in, so that she could wait for His Highness to change his clothes." ”
Although he was a eunuch, it was inconvenient for him to serve him closely, so Jiahe didn't force him to stay, just nodded.
She is now preoccupied with the prince of Beiyin, where can she care about other things.
Zheng Liang came out, and when he saw Ah Ci, he bowed down respectfully, "Sister Ah Ci, Your Highness, please go in and wait for a change of clothes." ”
Ah Ci was stunned for a moment when he heard him say this outside, and then quickly remembered the news that came just now, saying that the prince of Beiyin was coming to greet His Royal Highness in the afternoon, and it was no wonder that Jiahe was so excited at this time.
She hummed, and walked inside.
Zheng Liang suddenly spoke, "Sister Aci, Your Highness is in a good mood today, and I also ask Sister Aci not to mention some people or things that make Your Highness feel bad." ”
What kind of reverse thinking is this, isn't it generally that people respond when they are in a good mood?
Ah Ci turned his head to look at him, "What do you want to say?" ”
Zheng Liang smiled, "The slave just reminded my sister, now my sister is more and more unvalued by His Highness, and the slave doesn't want to be rejected by His Highness when my sister is really disliked." ”
Ah Ci lowered her eyes, "In this case, I still have to thank my father-in-law for his advice?" ”
Zheng Liang said, "Don't tell me, the slave and my sister have been working together for a while, and Sister Aqin just went two days ago, and the slave felt uncomfortable." ”
Now Ah Qin is the most painful thorn in Ah Ci's heart, Zheng Liang doesn't mention it, it's okay, mentioning Ah Ci is all over the body.
If he, Zheng Liang, would say a word for Ah Qin in front of His Royal Highness, then Ah Qin would definitely not have to die, but he could only watch the fire from the other side, but he was afraid that he would still sit back and enjoy the results.
Now Ah Ci remembered his intention to say this, just because of Ah Qin's corpse...... His Royal Highness didn't say how to collect the funeral, but he didn't collect the funeral, and those palace maids and eunuchs who were killed were basically a roll of broken straw mats and threw them at the mass grave.
And she and Sister Aqin have been for many years, so they can't see such an end as Aqin.
She pursed her lips, His Highness is in a good mood today, maybe it is indeed a good opportunity.
Ah Ci stopped looking at Zheng Liang, lowered his head and entered the door.
And Ah Ci's expression is the most proper on weekdays, but since yesterday, she has been hit repeatedly, and now it is not easy to calm down, and it is only difficult to ask her to manage her expression.
Sure enough, she showed a little trace, and Zheng Liang had seen it clearly, the corners of his lips curled, and he walked out.
The little palace maid at the door was very respectful when she saw him, "Father-in-law, are you going out?" ”
He is now even more powerful than Ah Ci and Ah Qin in the past, after all, everyone sees it, he just killed a Ah Qin yesterday, and this Jiahe Palace is only afraid that it will become half of his Zheng Liang's world.
What's more, Zheng Liang was originally from a bitter background, and he was promoted to his side as soon as he was valued by Jiahe, so his temper is known to everyone, and now he does not change the smile on his face, "No, it's just that I think His Royal Highness and Sister Ah Ci have something to say, and others probably can't listen to it, so I just retreated." ”
He knows the rules so well, and he never oppresses the people below, but he has won the hearts of the people below him I don't know how many times better than the previous Aqin Aci.
Ah Ci entered the door and saluted first, "Greetings to Your Highness." ”
There was a sound from Jiahe in the room, and then he said, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you come over quickly?" ”
She hurriedly went inside, and saw that the clothes on the bed on the ground were almost piled up, and Jiahe was still rummaging through the cabinet, "Bengong remembers that there was a brocade dress with flowers and branches brought before, why can't I find it?" ”
Ah Ci hurriedly went to another cabinet and turned it out for Jiahe, but Jiahe looked at it for a while and felt that it was not good-looking, so he threw it aside, "Let's take a look at the pink skirt with that peony pattern." ”
Ah Ci found it again.
Jiahe looked left and right, and still didn't like it.
She sat down angrily, "I pack my things on weekdays, but I see that you guys are also fanfare, is it so difficult to get a suitable dress at this time?" ”
Ah Ci hurriedly said, "What kind of skirt does Your Highness want, the slave and maid will look for it." ”
"I want a good look. It won't be too gorgeous to wear in the courtyard, and it won't feel too simple when you see people, and it looks good on me, but it won't be a burden for people who look at it. ”
Ah Ci was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and suddenly remembered something, "Your Highness, take a look at this one." ”
This is what the queen gave to Jiahe before, but what Jiahe didn't wear was a green dress with gold wire hooks, and it was rare that this green was bright and lively, which was exactly what a girl of this age should wear.
After Jiahe put it on, she really felt that her skin was a degree whiter, she always felt that her skin was not white enough, and she was annoyed every day, this one was quite white, Jiahe looked left and right, and felt quite satisfied.
Ah Ci helped her straighten her skirt, and then said, "Your Highness, it is still the best for you that the queen mother is best for." There are only a few brocades for this dress, and the mother asked her to cut a new skirt for Her Royal Highness, and her intention can be seen. ”
Jiahe was originally happy, but now when she heard her say this, her face was not so good in an instant.
She glanced down at Ah Ci and saw that she was still kneeling on the ground and smoothing the hem of her skirt with a handkerchief.
"You're not happy?"
Ah Ci was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "Your Highness, what are these words, how can the slave and maid be unhappy on such a good day?" ”
"Good day?" Jiahe smiled lightly, "Maybe it's a good day for this palace, but for you, is it also a good day?" ”
Ah Ci's face turned pale, "The slave and maid have been serving His Highness since childhood, and they have always been of the same heart with His Highness, which is a good day for His Highness, and naturally a good day for the slave and maid." ”
"Really?" Jiahe pulled the hem of her skirt out of her hand, then walked back and sat down at the table, she held the tea cup, so that people could not see her face clearly, "It's hard for you to think like this." ”
Ah Ci knelt in place, her mind turned a thousand times, she was different from Ah Qin, she had always been thoughtful and old-fashioned, before Ah Qin's accident, she felt that she could use her reason to control everything, but when Ah Qin really came to this point.
She suddenly couldn't hold her ground, she always felt that as long as the queen mother knew what Zheng Liang had done, she would definitely not let him go, and her backstage was the queen mother, and the mother would clean him up sooner or later.
But unexpectedly, before Niangniang cleaned him up, Ah Qin was gone.
What she could even think of was that Ah Qin was gone, and the person he was going to deal with next would be revealed.
She suddenly became a little anxious, if so, if she couldn't wait for the queen, would she also end up with Aqin?
Ah Ci looked at Jiahe's expression, and saw that her expression was relaxed, it was indeed the most amiable time in recent times, but I was afraid that it was the news from the prince of Beiyin, which really made Jiahe feel happy.
She sank, but still spoke, "Your Highness, the slave maid has something to ask for His Highness's grace. ”
Jiahe put down the tea cup in her hand, and landed on the table with a "click", she hummed, and then propped her cheek, "You have been with this palace for many years." ”
Ah Ci said yes.
Jiahe said, "All these years of your hard work, this palace has been remembered, you are different from others, you always do things steadily and properly, and those inks are similar, and they grew up with this palace, so this palace is the most confident in you." ”
Ah Ci was drumming in her heart, and she only felt that something was wrong.
Jiahe paused for a moment, "Before, what you asked for, this palace never seemed to have failed to answer. ”
Ah Ci said, "Your Highness has always been the best for slaves and maids. ”
Jiahe smiled, "Really? But even if it's the best, it's always going to make you feel like it's not enough. ”
She knocked on the table, "If there's anything you want, you name it." ”
Her voice was crisp and calm, just like the countless times she and Ah Ci had spoken in the past so many years.
