Chapter 501: Face-saving

As soon as the two of them said a few words, Yin Zhige was called by the emperor again.

Zhong Xiaoshu returned to the room by himself, and the housekeeper and maidservant hurriedly welcomed the door to prepare a meal for Zhong Xiaoshu, and their speech and salute were very standardized.

"Crown Princess, the prince just came to the news, he is busy with affairs, and he can't dine with you."

A servant girl slowly approached the room and bowed.

Zhong Xiaoshu nodded and said, "Well, then let the kitchen cook a few dishes and send them to the prince." ”

I didn't expect Yin Zhige's affairs to become busier and busier, and he could be reused, and I don't know if it's a good thing.

The housekeeper next to him smiled, and he was very happy to see Zhong Xiaoshu caring so much about Yin Zhige, "Crown Princess, I have already ordered, you can dine first." ”

After that, two maidservants served Zhong Xiaoshu for dinner, and wherever Zhong Xiaoshu's eyes went, the two maidservants immediately caught her bowl.

This reminded Zhong Xiaoshu of the incident of the Four Imperial Concubines, if it weren't for the eunuch saying that she was the Fourth Imperial Concubine, Zhong Xiaoshu would have thought that it was a girl who had strayed into the palace.

It's interesting to think about it, maybe you can have more contact with her usually, and you can be regarded as a person who relieves boredom in this boring palace.

Even if she has bad intentions every time.

The servant maid was very neat with her hands and feet, and entered and exited the room in an orderly manner, bringing all kinds of meals.

Her chef here has recently made some new tricks, Zhong Xiaoshu likes this chef more and more, it is difficult to eat such tasteless dishes in modern times.

After finishing the meal, Yin Zhige still didn't come back.

Zhong Xiaoshu felt bored, stood up, and asked the maidservant, "What's so fun about this?" ”

Outside the door, the two maidservants brought basins and towels, and were about to serve Zhong Xiaoshu to wash, and when they heard Zhong Xiaoshu's question, they knew that Zhong Xiaoshu was bored.

One of the maidservants answered Zhong Xiaoshu's question, "Crown Princess, a new variety of flowers has recently been introduced in the Imperial Garden, why don't you go and take a look." ”

This answer is exactly what Zhong Xiaoshu wants, the vast palace is boring without Yin Zhige.

You can also pass the time by viewing the flowers in the Imperial Garden.

Zhong Xiaoshu nodded, walked to the two maidservants, and put his hand into the basin, the gentle water made Zhong Xiaoshu feel very comfortable, and every pore was stretched.

The meticulous waiting is probably the only benefit in the palace, and the rest is only intrigue.

Zhong Xiaoshu took out his hand, and another maidservant hurriedly wiped Zhong Xiaoshu's hand dry with a towel.

Meticulous like wiping crafts, meticulous.

Suddenly, the handmaid who wiped her hands turned pale, and she was busy begging Zhong Xiaoshu for mercy, "Princess, the imperial garden is being renovated in the past few days, and the princess is ......"

"It's okay, since I can't go to the Imperial Garden, then I'll go for a lunch break." bell

Xiao Shu always felt that the ancients were very uncomfortable begging for mercy at every turn, and he had mentioned it a few times, but the maid was still very afraid.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a guard enter the door.

"Princess, the ninth princess is here."

Zhong Xiaoshu's face changed as soon as he heard the Ninth Princess.

"Who? Nine princesses? What is she here for? ”

That day, the ninth princess begged Zhong Xiaoshu to save her, and Zhong Xiaoshu has not forgotten it.

She thought that this matter had long passed, and it was easy for her pen name to fall into the endless strife in the palace if she mixed these things.

The housekeeper saw that Zhong Xiaoshu's face was not very good, as if he didn't want to see the ninth princess.

So he suggested to Zhong Xiaoshu, "Why don't I go and send the Ninth Princess away." ”

The ninth princess came prepared at first glance.

Taking advantage of Yin Zhige's absence, how could he be casually sent away by the housekeeper.

After thinking about it again, Zhong Xiaoshu still felt that it was better to meet the ninth princess.

Otherwise, this matter will be endless, which will annoy Zhong Xiaoshu.

Zhong Xiaoshu waved his hand and asked the housekeeper to bring in the ninth princess.

"Take the ninth princess to the living room and serve her well, I'll go change my clothes and see her soon."

After speaking, Zhong Xiaoshu went back to the room to change clothes, and casually found a dress that would not be rude to welcome guests, and changed it under the service of the maidservant.

When I went to the hall, I saw a woman in purple sitting in the guest seat.

Simply pulling up his hair with three hairpins is not gorgeous.

Looking at the fabric of the clothes, I don't feel particularly bad, and it's about the same as the palace's.

Although the ninth princess is said to be ignored, she is still passable in terms of face.

Zhong Xiaoshu looked at the Nine Princes, and quickly turned his sad face into a smile.

These nine princesses are not good at stubble, and they must be dealt with seriously.

The ninth princess looked down at whether she was dressed properly, then smiled at Zhong Xiaoshu and stepped forward to greet her.

People who don't know still think that the Ninth Princess and Zhong Xiaoshu are a pair of good sisters, but in fact, the two have their own careful thoughts, but they just don't show it.

"Imperial sister-in-law, you've been to me for a long time, I thought you should be bored in the palace, so I came to talk to you."

While speaking, the ninth princess was about to take Zhong Xiaoshu's hands with both hands.

Zhong Xiaoshu dodged slightly, allowing the ninth princess to pull into the air.

The ninth princess was very embarrassed, but she was still smiling on her face, but it was not as brilliant as just now, and a trace of viciousness swept through Danfeng's eyes, so fast that Zhong Xiaoshu didn't see it.

rejected the Ninth Princess's overture, Zhong Xiaoshu still had a cold smile on her face, "The Ninth Princess has always been playful, but I don't have anything fun here." ”

The meaning of the words is very simple, ask the nine princesses for their intentions.

The sooner the matter of the Ninth Princess is resolved, Zhong Xiaoshu will be able to breathe a sigh of relief as soon as possible.

"Imperial sister-in-law, you see so many people, I am ashamed to talk to you."

The ninth princess stretched out her hand to cover her lips slightly, her eyes were crooked, and she was really shy like a girl.

Zhong Xiaoshu nodded, and waved his hand to signal the maid butler to withdraw.

Before the housekeeper left, Zhong Xiaoshu was not very relieved, and his eyes signaled whether he wanted to inform Yin Zhige.

These small actions were all seen in the eyes of the ninth princess, but they couldn't do anything.

"Imperial sister-in-law, I'll tell you about the interesting things I heard in the palace."

Zhong Xiaoshu motioned to the housekeeper to step back quickly, and when everyone left, Zhong Xiaoshu did not speak, waiting for the ninth princess to say the purpose.

Seeing that everyone had retreated, the ninth princess hurriedly begged to get up, and pulled Zhong Xiaoshu's sleeve with both hands.

"Sister-in-law save me, only you can save me now."

I also knew that the Ninth Princess was for this matter, seeing the pitiful appearance of the Ninth Princess, Zhong Xiaoshu nodded slightly, "I'll try my best." ”

Hearing Zhong Xiaoshu's promise, the ninth princess was very happy, and hurriedly dragged Zhong Xiaoshu to say a lot of good things, praising Yin Zhige for being like an emperor.

This kind of words made Zhong Xiaoshu feel very taboo, if the words of the ninth princess spread, then there would be a catastrophe in the entire palace, and the ninth princess was warned.

The goal was achieved, and the ninth princess felt that it was useless to keep it, so Zhong Xiaoshu said that she wanted to rest, and the ninth princess left immediately.

Zhong Xiaoshu asked the housekeeper to send away the ninth princess, but he was still faintly uneasy in his heart.

On the other side, the second imperial concubine was taking a lunch break in the bedroom.

As soon as I woke up, I heard that the Ninth Princess had gone to Zhong Xiaoshu, and immediately frowned, and her mind turned.
