Text Chapter 293: Hong Tao's thoughts
Fang Qiao'er held a piece of paper in her hand, and after confirming that she had memorized all the words on the paper, she threw the paper towards the stove. It's a bit of a smile that makes people wonder about it. Watching the paper burn out, Fang Qiao'er went out. I saw Hong Tao standing at the door, and there was no one around him. "Where's Brother Ling Feng?"
"If you go back to the side concubine, the prince will stay in the east room tonight, but when he comes, the prince also told the side concubine to rest early today." As soon as Fang Qiao'er opened the door, she smelled a smell in the air, and glanced at the stove. The paper on it had burned out, but some of the burnt ash could still be seen.
Staying in the East Room? Was it at that woman's place last night, and it's still with that woman today, but it's just a fake princess? Where is he not as good as that woman, why did Shen Lingfeng fall in love with her? "Concubine Ben knows, Steward Hong, please tell the prince to rest early for Concubine Ben."
If that woman is still there, Shen Lingfeng doesn't have a little disgust for her, and one day she will give birth to an heir earlier than herself, no! She couldn't let that woman give birth to a baby, and thinking of this, she suddenly thought of what had just been written on the paper.
Tang Yuyan hates that woman to death now, and so does himself. It will never make her feel at ease.
"Yes! If nothing happens, the subordinates will go down first. Fang Qiao'er burned the paper just now, although she didn't know when it was written, but she always had to tell Shen Lingfeng about this matter.
"Wait!" Seeing Hong Tao turn around, Fang Qiao'er stopped him, Tang Yuyan told him that Hong Tao had always followed Shen Lingfeng with him, as long as he was pulled to his side, it would not be a good thing. "Steward Hong, this concubine remembers, Steward Hong is not married, right? There is also an old mother at home, how worried is this for my mother? ”
Hong Tao raised his head in some confusion, and then lowered his head. "The subordinates are not married, and the mother often talks in front of the subordinates, and the concubine has a scheming in this matter. Subordinate......"
"At your age, you're still married," Fang Qiao'er interrupted him. With a harmless smile on his face. "I don't know if Steward Hong has a sweetheart? It's also good for my mother's thoughts. ”
Hong Tao, who lowered his head, didn't know what she wanted to say, sweetheart? He has it, but now he is dedicated to serving the prince, where does he still have that heart? Mother also said that the prince is more important than herself, so her mother doesn't care much about this.
"Hehe......" Seeing that Hong Tao didn't speak, Fang Qiao'er laughed softly. Steward Hong, this concubine heard Sakura next to her two days ago, saying that she couldn't see Steward Hong's family all day long. ”
"The subordinates have their hearts, and the side concubines have hearts." After listening to it for a long time, Hong Tao finally understood Fang Qiao'er's words. It's just that I don't understand why Fang Qiao'er said this for no reason. "If there is nothing to do, then the subordinates will retire first."
Fang Qiao'er stood there, it seemed that this trick would not work. I can only start from Hong Tao's mother.
"Then Steward Hong will go slowly, and the concubine will not send more." Although she knew that Hong Tao had been in the palace for a long time, she really didn't know Hong Tao as a person, she only knew that he was heartfelt Shen Lingfeng, but what about his heart? In the big heart, there are the shortcomings, too.
With permission, Hong Tao nodded, and then left Fang Qiao'er's sight.
When he returned to the east room, he saw the candles in the east room lit, and he hurriedly trotted over, but before he could get there, he saw Xiao Yun go out from inside. "Xiaoyun is doing well."
Xiaoyun held the lantern and saw Hong Tao come in and walked forward. "Steward Hong, the princess has woken up, and now she is inside with the prince."
It means that now that Shen Lingfeng is having dinner with Tong Xinya, it is better for them not to go in.
"Oh! That's right. Hong Tao's face turned to the side. Even when I spoke, I began to stutter a little. "Well, why haven't you rested?"
"Huh...... Steward Hong, the princess got up and wanted to eat, and the prince told me to warm things up. Why are you here now? Regarding Hong Tao's words, Xiaoyun only answered reasonably. Didn't think about it so much at all.
"Oh, I just got back from the side concubine." Hong Tao turned his head and saw Xiaoyun looking at him with a smile. A big man's face turned red in an instant. "Then, you go down to rest first, the weather is strangely cold, and the prince will give you an order in a while, just come and I'll come."
With only the light of the lantern, Xiaoyun couldn't see Hong Tao's expression clearly, thinking that he was just afraid that he wouldn't be able to do it well. "Well, it's okay, I'm not tired right now anyway."
"Huh? Oh. Hong Tao just wanted her to rest more, and she replied, but she didn't know what else to say. Then, you are busy with yours, I will go to serve the prince. ”
Without waiting for Xiaoyun to speak, Hong Tao crossed over to his side and walked to the door of the east room and stood outside.
I don't know why, seeing Hong Tao standing there, Xiaoyun suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, and he couldn't think of a reason, so he could only go to the room where he lived with Xia Ni.
As soon as she saw Xiaoyun come in, Xia Ni took her a piece of clothing and gave it to her. Since she arrived at Tong Xinya, she has a lot of things, Tong Xinya saw that she was wearing thin clothes, and asked Hong Tao to put a stove in the house where the two of them lived.
Xiaoyun has been by Tong Xinya's side for a long time, and she is afraid that she will be nervous when she sees the prince, so when Shen Lingfeng was there, Xiaoyun just asked her to stay away from Shen Lingfeng.
This also greatly reduced his chances of seeing Shen Lingfeng. "It's so cold outside, come over and bake the fire."
Xiao Yun looked at the clothes in his hand, smiled at Xia Ni, and followed her to the fire, before, they never dared to think that there would be such a thing as a stove in the next person's room. When I sleep in winter, I am also crowded into a small room with seven or eight subordinates.
Just like Hong Tao, as a housekeeper, he has a small independent room. Thinking of this, Xiao Yun's eyes looked at the stove, as if he had thought of something. "Shani, I'll go out first."
"It's so cold, I'll go if there's anything." Xiaoyun just came in from outside, and now she is going out again, both of them are serving Tong Xinya, how can she let her do all the hard work?
"It's okay, I'll just go out and come back." The two of them were cooking in the room, and Hong Tao was still outside. Moreover, she didn't notice just now that Hong Tao looked very little dressed, and it was night, and when the cold wind blew, it must be cold.
"Then you be careful alone, if there is anything you can't do, remember to call me. I'm here," seeing that Xiaoyun didn't let herself follow, Xia Ni could only do this.
"Okay." Promising Xia Ni, Xiaoyun got up and walked down. What she thought just now, she didn't know, she just thought that Hong Tao was there alone, and without Shen Lingfeng's instructions, he would not leave. I don't know when he'll be able to rest.
Sure enough, when he saw Hong Tao, he stood there motionless just like he had left just now, in order to avoid suspicion, Hong Tao didn't dare to stand directly at the door, so he could only stand in a remote place at the door. Xiaoyun walked over with his clothes in his hand, it was really cold outside. Thanks to Hong Tao's return, otherwise he would be standing here now.
Seeing Xiaoyun's figure, Hong Tao also walked over, didn't he let her rest? "Miss Xiaoyun, is there anything else?"
"It's okay, Steward Hong." As soon as he saw Hong Tao, what Xiao Yun had just thought completely disappeared, and then looked at the place in his hand, and suddenly thought, how could Hong Tao wear women's clothes.
Hong Tao looked down at her, okay? So what is she doing here? "Miss Xiaoyun, if you have nothing to do, just rest first, I'll just serve here."
"Oh......" Xiaoyun didn't know what to say, Hong Tao's words couldn't hear the coldness, so she was even more embarrassed to take out her clothes. Steward Hong, it's cold at night now, and you don't have much to wear, why don't I help you guard it here first, and you go back and add more clothes first? ”
Hong Tao was also obviously stunned for a moment, the red that had finally disappeared just now rose up again in an instant, and there had never been a woman who cared about herself like this. Except for his own mother. "I, I'm fine, Xiaoyun is fine, you better go back first."
"Oh." Except for oh, Xiaoyun didn't know what else to say. The clothes in his hand covered his hands like this.
Hong Tao's gaze was also attracted, and his heart throbbed. "That's for me?"
"Huh?" Xiao Yun raised his head and saw Hong Tao's gaze on the clothes in his hand. "Yes...... No, I was thinking, I'll do it for you...... No, I ......"
Before she finished speaking, Hong Tao reached out and took the clothes in her hand, and she didn't feel the temperature when Xiaoyun held the clothes just now. "Miss Xiaoyun, lend me some clothes. I can't leave right now, I'll pay you back later. ”
The way she stammered, he was wondering why Xiaoyun suddenly ran out again, and now he understood.
"Well, good!" I originally wanted to give him this dress, but I had forgotten that Hong Tao was a man, how could he wear women's clothes. So it was not easy to take it out, but now Hong Tao has taken it himself. Xiaoyun suddenly felt happy in his heart. Even his voice was much lower. "Then, I'll go back first."
Hong Tao didn't speak, but just stopped the person who had just taken two steps.
"Is there anything else going on with Steward Hong?" Xiao Yun looked down at the big hand holding his hand, and wanted to pull it out, but Hong Tao's hand was so warm. There are also some cocoons.
"Hmm...... Thank you for that, clothes, I'll pay you back in a moment. "There are so many words in my mind, and as soon as I exit it, I automatically retract it." It's nothing, you just rest early. ”
"yes, okay." Xiaoyun couldn't see Hong Tao's thoughts, so he could only answer whatever he said. "Then I don't know, I'll go down first. You pay more attention here. ”
Looking at the person who left, Hong Tao felt a burst of regret in his heart, and he didn't know when he liked her, so he felt that she was very well-behaved and sensible, and the things she made were not bad. When he saw her for the first time, Hong Tao noticed her, but there was nothing to do for her in the east room, and he secretly arranged for her to be in the east room, just hoping to see a few more times.
But as soon as he thought of himself, Hong Tao took away the feelings in his heart, Xiaoyun devoted himself to the palace contract for five years, and he was indeed a lifetime. Five years later, he wasn't sure if she would stay. He originally wanted to wait for himself to save some money in two years to marry her, but his mother was not in good health, although all the medicine Shen Lingfeng had taken care of, but over the years, he really hadn't saved any money.
Don't look at yourself as the housekeeper in the palace, very good, but as soon as I came in, my mother said that I couldn't ask for a penny more in the palace, because both their mother and son were favored by the prince, so all the money was used for medicine. He remembered his mother's teachings. Even when it comes to marrying, my mother knows her situation and never says anything.
But Xiaoyun has a moon, although it is not much, but it is better than himself. I just have an empty space.
