005 Embarrassed
005 is in a dilemma
"Qin Xiao, let's go to the dark room, and you will tell me the details of that day. Qin Lin, you are here to accompany the prince. ”
Li Qinhan arranged everything very properly, and naturally no one said anything. She is the only person who can handle everything around Wu Zhen, and everyone is used to being sent by her when Wu Zhen has an accident.

"In this way, the identity of the second lady of the Fang family must not be simple, and the eldest lady should not be underestimated. This Fang Weizhong is an old fox, hooking the prince on this side, and letting his two daughters hook the two major forces of the Eagle Kingdom on the other side, his move is really wonderful. ”
Li Qinhan had dealt with Fang Weizhong, an old fox, before, but every time she either lost the battle or he escaped. In the past, she occasionally thought that his life was good, but now she absolutely believed that Fang Weizhong was far-sighted enough.
"Miss, what should we do then?"
Qin Xiao also knew that this matter was very tricky, and Fang Weizhong's old fox was indeed very troublesome. Most of the previous plans were defeated in his hands, and the prince also told everyone to beware of the Fang family.
"Don't act rashly about this matter first, leave it to me, and don't tell the prince first, so as not to let him worry about it."
Li Qinhan vowed to find out about this matter, and she must know what the hell Fang Weizhong had to do.
"But the draft is almost ......"
Qin Xiao didn't want to bring up this matter, but the draft period was approaching, and if the prince blamed him, this was not something anyone could afford to bear.
"It's out of the way, everything that should be prepared is almost ready."
What the prince ordered, she Li Qinhan would do it very well every time, and this time it was the same.
"But ......"
Although Li Qinhan had never done anything that the prince ordered for so many years, Qin Xiao still couldn't help but worry. The prince attaches great importance to it, and he is really afraid that there will be an accident.
"Nothing! Qin Xiao, the prince is our master, the master without a trace, you and I can't watch him being tortured by illness. Don't worry, I've always been measured. ”
The tone of Li Qinhan's words was very affirmative, as if he had enough certainty.
Qin Xiao knew that Li Qinhan was as stubborn as Wu Zhen, so he didn't say anything anymore.

May 21 is an extremely important day for the other party's family.
Today, the team that sent envoys to other countries returned to the dynasty, and Fang Tianqi, the eldest young master of the Fang Mansion, was also among them.
Fang Weizhong rushed to the court early in the morning, and Wei Zong set up a banquet for the prince and others.
And the whole Fang Mansion was also busy catching up with Fang Tianqi.
Qingxi got up very early today, not because she was in a hurry to pick up the wind for her brother, but because last night Cui Weiju sent someone to send a message to let her get up earlier, the one from Cui Weiju She didn't want to mess with, so naturally she wouldn't fall into the handle.
"Miss, quickly wipe your face with a handkerchief."
Wanxin brought a copper basin from the outside, soaked the handkerchief embroidered with Xuemei, and handed it to Qingxi.
Qingxi took the handkerchief and gently wiped his emaciated face in front of the bronze mirror.
"Wanxin, do you think I've lost weight again recently?"
Qingxi is not like other young ladies, she hopes that she can be fatter, and Wanxin is very puzzled by this. In the country of Yingyu, it has always been beautiful to be thin, and the young ladies who have not been out of the cabinet hope that they can lose some weight, so that they can have a wishful family, although the marriage of their own young lady is all decided by Wei Zong, but it can't be said in terms of figure.
Wanxin took the handkerchief handed by Qingxi and put it on the edge of the copper basin, picked up the Hanyu comb in the dresser, and panned Qingxi's head.
"Miss, it's better to lose weight, don't complain because of this, if you let the eldest lady hear it, won't there be trouble again?"
Wanxin remembered that once the eldest lady laughed at her own young lady's slightly fat figure in front of many young ladies, which made her feel uncomfortable standing there, not to mention the young lady who was on the cusp, but fortunately, her own young lady was smart enough to refute the eldest lady speechless.
"Eldest sister is not so boring."
Fang Qingxi thought that she knew the eldest sister quite well, after the last incident, there was no need for the eldest sister to fight with her because of her figure.
Qingxi saw Wanxin neatly coiling her hair into a new hairstyle designed by herself before-Hu Guiji, and she only said that Wanxin's hands were skillful enough.
"Miss, you can't be like this, the eldest lady has been making things difficult for you in every way recently, fortunately, you have avoided them one by one, if Miss is bullied because of this, wouldn't you want to make Wanxin cry to death?"
Wanxin is always like this, turning the other party's Qingxi's love into words, and it also makes Fang Qingxi cry and laugh.
Qingxi stuffed the cold jade comb in Wanxin's hand back into the dresser, and took out the new pearl flower sent by Helianchen a few days ago from the box and handed it to Wanxin, and Wanxin carefully inserted the bead flower.
"Wanxin, don't worry, I know it. You don't know the eldest sister's temperament, she has always been used to being open-mouthed, she is just a little more arrogant, and her heart is not bad. ”
"Miss is just too soft-hearted, which of those inner courtyards with big doors is as quiet as our house?"
Wan Xin said while straightening her green clothes.
"Wouldn't it be nice to be quieter? Is it better to make a maid to take the crime, and kill people without paying for their lives? ”
Fang Qingxi still remembered that the Su family's old mansion once killed three maids for no reason, and the government failed to give an explanation at that time. In fact, the dirty things in the house don't need to be said explicitly, everyone understands them, and the more Mrs. there are, the more things will happen. It wasn't the life she wanted.
After freshening up, Qingxi came to the outside room and sat on the soft couch, holding the book he hadn't finished reading yesterday. Wan Xin showed the little girl who accidentally took down the copper basin.
"Miss, I didn't mean that."
There are too many dirty things in those big houses, and Wan Xin is glad that she is serving the young lady in the Fang Mansion, and she doesn't have so many things to worry about. You must know that few masters in the big family regard their subordinates as human beings, and it is not bad if they don't take down people to take the blame, and it is common to kill chickens and monkeys.
"I know."
After getting along with Wanxin for all these years, Wanxin's temperament is young, but she knows it, and she naturally won't blame her. It's just that Wanxin is used to being open-mouthed, and she is very afraid that this girl will offend some people unintentionally, and she won't know if she will be bitten back when the time comes.
The little girl outside brought breakfast, Qingxi glanced at the girl who bowed her head and said softly.
"Just put things down, there's nothing to do in the pavilion today, let's go back."
Qingxi is not used to using outsiders, this girl was rewarded to her for loyalty a few days ago, out of vigilance, Qingxi usually does not use her easily. Although the subordinates in the outer courtyard are all outstanding, Qingxi is not good at taking risks, who knows if this girl is sent by her father to monitor her.
"Yes."
After receiving the order, the little girl didn't say anything more, and lowered her head and retreated. Looking at the little girl like this, Qingxi couldn't help but sigh that she deserved to be a maid in the outer courtyard.
"If the young lady is not used to seeing the rosary, she can find an excuse to get her out."
Wanxin was angry when she saw the rosary from the outer courtyard, and she looked so old all day long, and there was a big maid's shelf at every turn, one in front of her, and another in front of the master. She has never been used to this kind of person.
"Wanxin, I know that you don't like the rosary, but no matter what, she is a person sent by the outer court, and there should still be rules."
Qingxi originally didn't plan to tell Wanxin so much, she felt that with Wanxin's mind, she could still see these things, but she didn't think that her behavior was not as good as herself.
"Miss, the lord arranged the rosary by your side, which obviously means that he doesn't worry about you, aren't you in a hurry?"
Wanxin can't live the days of being watched all day long. She noticed several times that the girl looked into the inner room, which she had accidentally bumped into, but it was conceivable that she had not bumped into it many times.
"Why rush? Okay, don't always think so much, hurry up and accompany me to eat this breakfast, and go to Cuiweiju to say hello to the eldest sister. ”
Qingxi is not a fool, she doesn't understand what Wanxin said, it's just that with her current strength, it is a little difficult to compete with the eldest sister in the inner courtyard, not to mention the father in the outer courtyard.
"Hmm."
Wanxin knew that she couldn't persuade Qingxi at all, and remembered that Qingxi had never done something she was not sure of, so she let go of the complaint in her heart and served Qingxi with breakfast.
★
After passing through the hand-copying verandah next to Bibo Lake, Qingxi came to Cuiweiju accompanied by Wanxin.
Today's banquet in the inner courtyard was arranged by Fang Zhiling in her own courtyard, Qingxi was not interested in this kind of banquet, and she had no opinion on where to arrange it.
Fang Zhiling wanted to behave well, how could Qingxi dismiss her?
Under the guidance of the little maid, Qingxi and Wanxin came to the outside of Fang Zhiling's boudoir.
As soon as he entered the outer room, Qingxi was attracted by Fang Zhiling's outfit.
Dressed in an alizarin cyan floor-length dress, her hair is tied into a cloud-hung bun that is often used by Miss Pavilion, and the plain silver hairpin on the bun is lined with a delicate face.
Facing Zhiling's smiling face, Qingxi's heart was numb for a while, she was dressed a lot more plain today, and the most important thing was that her tricks couldn't be hidden from others.
If my brother saw her so "shabby", he would definitely give her many rare objects.
is also a brother and sister, but Qingxi does not have that treatment.
"My sister came here so early, and I haven't used breakfast here."
Fang Zhiling was half-leaning on the soft couch, holding the pearl in her hand, her eyes had not yet left the string of colorful objects, and she didn't take Qingxi who had just entered the outer world seriously.
Qingxi naturally doesn't take this kind of thing to heart, and she can't understand the eldest sister's temperament very well. Wanxin on the side was unhappy for her own young lady in her heart, and she didn't dare to show too much because of her identity.
"Yesterday, my sister sent someone to Rong Pavilion to spread the word, and Qingxi thought about getting up earlier, so as not to lose the rules."
Qingxi remembered that once she came to Cuiweiju to ask for a late start, Fang Zhiling counted her down, so that she couldn't raise her head in front of the people in the inner courtyard, how dare she make this kind of mistake a second time?
"Liuzhu, look, this is what the second miss of the Fang family should look like."
Fang Zhiling originally thought that she could take advantage of Qingxi's late wake up today to count her down, but she didn't expect this girl to become shrewd this time.
Fang Zhiling put Zhu Luo aside, her eyes staring at Liuzhu on the side, Liuzhu's head was lowered, and she didn't say a word, as if she had been greatly wronged.
Qingxi and Wanxin glanced at each other, thinking to themselves, what is the trouble between the two masters and servants?
"Sister, this ......"
Seeing Fang Zhiling's situation, there are some things that Qingxi still has to ask, otherwise it is easy for outsiders to have something to do with her, and she has never been able to stand rumors or something. Moreover, the relationship between the master and servant has always been very good, and Liuzhu is a warm-hearted girl who protects the master, Fang Zhiling will not embarrass her for no reason, which must be a hidden suspension.
"Sister, don't you know what this dead girl said to me on the road when she came out of Qingyanju yesterday."
"What did you say?"
Qingxi was not interested in what Liuzhu said, what really interested her was the person who was talking now, she wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the master and servant.
Fang Zhiling saw a trace of incomprehension in Fang Qingxi's eyes, and was very satisfied. Her sister doesn't have much in her belly, she's just a little smart. Compared to her, it is not worth mentioning at all.
"This dead girl said bad things about my sister in front of me, and she used the lonely thing to separate our sisters. Sister, how can you say that I can spare her! ”
Fang Zhiling's words were obviously full of anger, whether they were true or false was unknown, but her words were not far from the lonely book, and she wanted to come to this play to show herself. Qingxi stood there quietly, and didn't think to follow Fang Zhiling's meaning to say it.
The atmosphere froze there all of a sudden, and Liuzhu, who was crying alone, did not get the desired result, which was completely different from what she expected from the eldest lady, and she didn't know what was wrong. Raising his tear-stained face and looking at Fang Qingxi, he unexpectedly met Wan Xin's gaze. Liuzhu exclaimed in his heart, and suddenly knelt on the ground, crying and saying:
"Miss! The slave is doing this for your own good! Slaves and maids are also afraid that others will take away your favor! Miss! The slave is sincere to you! Miss! ”
The pear blossoms crying with the rain make everyone feel a little pity, and Qingxi is no exception. However, she had to wait, she had to wait until she had to speak before she spoke, and she must not allow herself to become too passive. You must know that today's things must not be simple, and she will not make a decision easily without absolute certainty.
"Liuzhu, am I too indulgent of you on weekdays? Are these words what you should say! My sister and I are both father's daughters, who gets more grace and less grace, what does it matter, the meaning of your words seems that I am stingy, as if I can't see my sister be favored! Do you think I'm the kind of indiscriminate, uneducated person? ”
Fang Zhiling's words were listened to in Qingxi's ears word for word, others may not be able to hear anything from them, only that Fang Zhiling was teaching the girl, but Qingxi was different, she knew her eldest sister too well, and the eldest sister's words were clearly telling her that jealousy was a sign of unculture, and she Fang Zhiling would not do that, but as a younger sister, it would be bad if she was jealous. Qingxi has to admit that Fang Zhiling's performance in this play is really wonderful.
"Miss, Liuzhu knows that she is wrong! Miss Wang's thoughts of Liuzhu's dedication to serving Miss Liuzhu for so many years, don't drive Liuzhu out of Fangfu! Miss! ”
Liuzhu's hoarse cry made Wanxin, who was watching the play on the side, also a little moved, Wanxin and Qingxi glanced at each other, she could see that her young lady couldn't bear to see Liuzhu like this, regardless of whether she was acting or not.
"Liuzhu, I can't blame it. I can't risk discord with my own sister to keep you by my side, and if one day you can't control your mouth and hurt our sisters' affection, what should I do with you? Sister, am I right? ”
Fang Zhiling said this, and the people in the room looked at Fang Qingxi one after another, Qingxi could see that if she didn't say a word at this time, it would be rumored in the house that Liuzhu was driven away by herself in the blink of an eye, and she couldn't afford such a charge.
"Sister, anyway, Liuzhu grew up with our sisters, so let's forget about it."
Qingxi opened his mouth, Fang Zhiling's face was a little more hesitant, and the flowing beads on the ground breathed a sigh of relief. She was almost kicked out by the eldest lady, although there is a fake show in this, but if the second lady is unreasonable, this matter may not end today. In the final analysis, it is the second lady who pities them as subordinates.
"Since my sister has said so, it's not easy for me as an older sister to say anything. It's just that the state has national laws and family rules, and this matter is not good, so it is so easy to calculate. Liuzhu, today I will spare you for the sake of the second miss's face, and I will deduct your monthly money for three months, and I don't thank the second miss! ”
Fang Zhiling looked at Liuzhu with a serious face, and Liuzhu immediately realized that she would kowtow to Qingxi.
"Miss Xie Er! Miss Xie Er! ”
Qingxi looked at Liuzhu kneeling in front of her, her heart was more or less not a taste, Liuzhu grew up with her, in fact, her nature was not bad, even the eldest sister was kind in addition to showing off her heart when she was a child.
Time flies, and there will always be some people and things.
Isn't the second miss of the Fang family, who was bullied back then, now have a seven-trick exquisite heart? The more times I fell into the quagmire, the better my memory became.
"Get up."
Qingxi gestured to Wanxin beside her, and Wanxin came to Liuzhu and helped Liuzhu up.
Liuzhu stood up with Wanxin's support, and her pink face became pitiful because of the tears, which made everyone present feel different.
"Okay, there's nothing for you here, let Miaoqin come in and serve."
After getting the order, Liuzhu only felt a little sad, she raised her eyes to look at the young lady sitting on the soft couch, and said in her heart that it was time for the big girl of Cuiweiju to temporarily change people. She didn't ask for anything else, she just wanted the eldest lady to remember her goodness, and not let Miaoqin take away her favor.
"Yes."
Liuzhu's lonely and departing figure fell in the eyes of the woman above, seeing Liuzhu like this, Fang Zhiling's heart was also full of pain, no matter what, Liuzhu was loyal to her, and she was also the maid who had been with her for the longest time.
