"Slaves and maids should not make their own decisions."

Mai Dong's voice was calm, and it sounded like a thoughtful draft.

"Well," An Yu asked, "what are you going to assert?" ”

Mai Dong did not answer.

An Yu looked at her and said, "I won't be angry, you just say it." ”

Mai Dong turned his gaze to Chu Yuan.

"Oh, Chu Yuan, he is my old acquaintance before entering the palace," An Yu smiled and said, "You also have to persuade an acquaintance to be your companion?" ”

"He has a covetous heart for talented people." Mai Dong looked straight at Chu Yuan: "I want to stop the talented people and Your Majesty." ”

An Yu subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop Chu Yuan, but he didn't touch the corner of his advancing clothes, he was stunned, and then turned his head, but saw Chu Yuan's expression.

Slightly relieved, An Yu looked at Mai Dong again: "But what is the reality?" It would be too overbearing to convict people based on speculation.

At that time, General Shen Mo lived in the Cold Ice Palace, and His Majesty ordered that except for Qing Zhaoyi's personal maid, all female dependents were not allowed to approach the Donglin Palace.

If you want to go out of the door of the Donglin Palace, you naturally have to go through the Cold Ice Palace, Chu Yuan thought of this layer but didn't dare to stop me from going out for a walk, so I could only retreat and replace the maid. ”

Mai Dong bit his lip lightly, his face hesitant, as if hesitating.

That's all Tao Ye knew, she saw Mai Dong hesitating, and couldn't help but persuade: "Sister has anything else to say, tell the talented people together, so as not to leave the mustard." ”

It seems that Mai Dong doesn't fully believe in herself, or that she is not worthy of her full dedication for the time being, An Yu understands, human nature, it takes a long time to improve feelings in exchange for understanding, and the exchange of interests must also make people see sincerity.

It's Xing'an, who keeps giving peach leaves a look, and none of them are received.

An Yu leaned back in the chair, propped his right elbow on the table, and prepared to listen to Mai Dong's unspeakable secrets with interest.

Seeing that she looked at Chu Yuan again, she didn't know what she saw, so she made up her mind and said, "What does the slave mean...... Only on that day did he accept his favor, and Chu Yuan also came to the door with the intention of disturbing. ”

"Oh?"

"I implore talented people to believe in slaves!" Mai Dong hurriedly said: "If it weren't for the slave maid to keep him out of the door, he would definitely alarm the holy driver, and the consequences would be unimaginable!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Peach Leaf looked at Chu Yuan and An Yu in shock.

And Xing'an knows a little about the inside story, after all, the person was personally selected by him, and what Mai Dong said just now also told him last night.

So he thought about it more, such as the test he had given Chu Yuan, such as why Mai Dong could persuade Chu Yuan in words - if he just wanted to destroy His Majesty's happiness, as long as he could make a move, such as punching and kicking Mai Dong.

Chu Yuan's actions made him feel that he was still under control, at least Chu Yuan still put An Yu's interests first, so he paid more attention to An Yu, wondering what she thought, so that he could know how to deal with it in the future.

However, An Yu's face was as usual, and he looked back calmly, and so did Chu Yuan.

Mai Dong, who was kneeling there, was still waiting for An Yu to reply, and with a long sigh, An Yu frowned and said, "You mean that you went to the Internal Affairs Office to bring Xing'an to Muyu Hall without my consent, and I should thank you?" ”

An Yu did not respond to Chu Yuan's matter immediately, which made His Royal Highness and the three of them chuckle in their hearts.

"The slave knows her mistake," the content arrived, and Mai Dong did not bite it, but lowered his head: "Admit punishment." ”

"I already know about Chu Yuan," An Yu looked at Mai Dong: "Mai Dong, Taoye usually listens to you, and you are also the one in charge of Muyu Palace, so compared to others, you need a peaceful mind.... Punish yourself by copying Buddhist scriptures in the room, and come out again when you calm down. ”

Mai Dongying said: "...... Be. ”

"You guys go out first," An Yu raised his hand and rubbed his temples: "Chu Yuan stays." ”

"Yes."

Chu Yuan didn't move, Mai Dong bowed lightly to the peach leaves, and the three of them went out together, closed the door, and left Xing'an to guard the door.

——————————————

An Yu stood up and dragged two chairs from the side: "Sit down." ”

She motioned for Chu Yuan to sit across from her.

After he sat down and faced him, An Yu said, "How is your life lately?" ”

Every time she has to bring up these irrelevant words, lower the vigilance of others, or bring up the things that the other person cares about most, just to pry open someone's mouth and lead the conversation to her goal.

Chu Yuan knew An Yu's habits, but he still couldn't help but report good news and not bad news: "The food in Donglin Palace is good, the living environment is much better than that of the middle courtyard, the clothes and materials are more high-end, and it is ...... to go out."

An Yu didn't look at him, and said in a low voice: "Then are you still satisfied?" ”

Chu Yuan's voice stopped in his throat, and a smile on his face retracted: "What do you think?" ”

An Yu was stunned: "I thought you would hate me." ”

"You give me food and clothing to ensure that I am rich, even this name was chosen by you, how dare Chu Yuan?"

Chu Yuan wanted to call her "Miss" like before, but he remembered that someone outside the door was listening, and he was unhappy, so he directly addressed her as "you and me".

"After all, I've always been making my own decisions," An Yu looked at him sincerely, "It wasn't until Mai Dong just talked about you that I realized that I never cared about your thoughts. ”

Chu Yuan was silent.

"Chu Yuan," An Yu called his name softly: "Everyone has things that they regret to a greater or lesser extent, but I don't have time to be upset, and I shouldn't be cowardly to fantasize about 'what happened in the beginning', since I have chosen this path, I have to go on." ”

"Maybe it's a little late," An Yu shook the hand he put on his lap: "But it's really true, and there is no falsification." ”

She rubbed the coarse callus of Chu Yuan's palm, and her warm and delicate fingers crossed his palm: "When it was decided, I begged the neighbors to keep it secret as soon as possible, at least not to let you know that I would be sold by Li Ergou." ”

There was Xing'an listening outside the door, and An Yu subtracted his comrades from the story and turned into an orphan girl who was trafficked.

"Then when I saw you in the middle courtyard, I was furious, hated iron and steel, but I didn't dare to pity you, I only taught you to know that you would regret it in the future, and even talked to myself to extinguish your enthusiasm."

Chu Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he held An Yu's fingers.

An Yu stretched out his other hand and patted him, and continued: "Whether it is the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the paper mill, I know that you have enough self-care ability, but I just take a line and self-righteously show favor to you. ”

She sighed, "Seriously, I really didn't expect Xing'an to send you here. ”

Chu Yuan's lips twitched, but An Yu stopped him in advance: "Maybe there is indeed a feeling that I should respond to......"

"But now that you and I are in the palace, naturally we don't have that 'maybe'," said this, but An Yu got up and hugged Chu Yuan into his arms and patted him on the back: "That night, no matter what you planned to do, I am very grateful that you didn't move. ”

Xing'an took everything into his ears and was relieved, he didn't expect An Yu and Chu Yuan to have a story, but fortunately, An Yu could carry it clearly, no matter how much thought there was, Xing'an preferred to believe in her own feelings - she was a woman with ambitions to go up, even if it was fake, it was to trap Chu Yuan.

Reflecting on this, Xing'an felt a little chill on his back, and mourned for Chu Yuan for a moment.

Hearing An Yu's words, Chu Yuan's body stiffened for a moment, and she let go of her arm, half-squatted down, hugged him again, and whispered in his ear: "Do you understand?" ”
