Chapter 138: Prudence, Duty
"Sister, is Qiushui too expensive?" Seeing Chang Youxi's strange face, Qiushui thought that he was too greedy, so he carefully put it back, thinking about getting a lower grade again, but Chang Youxi held his hand down.
Looking at Qiushui's puzzled face, Chang Youxi smiled and shook his head, "I'm strange, they all said that you should find it yourself, there are not a few rare treasures in this baggage, how did you choose a very poor one?" "Such a girl is either too simple or too scheming.
Intuition told her that Qiushui should be the former, but in this palace gate as deep as the sea, Chang Youxi had begun to distrust her intuition.
"Once upon a time, the slave's sister said that the most important thing to live in this palace is to keep your duty." Qiushui lowered his head, his eyes revealed a little nostalgia, thinking that Chang Youxi was still beside him, Qiushui's face turned red, "The slave has always followed my sister's teachings, and has never transgressed." ”
Looking at Qiushui's lowered head, Chang Youxi actually felt that she was a little similar to the deceased Chang Youchuan, and the ghost made the god take a step forward and hold Qiushui's hand, "Sister, have you come back to see me?" ”
Qiushui was so shocked by Chang Youxi's sudden movement that she didn't dare to move, Chang Youxi looked at her with warm and sincere eyes, with strong admiration and nostalgia, I think she was looking at someone through her! Qiushui's trembling eyes pulled Chang Youxi back to reality.
"Scared you, didn't you?" Chang Youxi smiled a little embarrassedly, and his expression showed some memories, "Once upon a time, my sister also said something similar, but it was just ......" Chang Youxi let out a sigh and stopped talking.
"Sister's sister, you're so good to your sister." Qiushui looked at Chang Youxi with a wistful face, although he was a little embarrassed to speak, but Chang Youxi was still able to understand, and then Qiushui's words made Chang Youxi's body stiffen, "If you have the opportunity, I really want to meet your sister." "It must be a kind woman as gentle as her sister.
“…… I'm afraid you don't have a chance, my sister, who is no longer alive. Although so much time has passed, Chang Youxi still misses Chang Youchuan every time he thinks of it.
Seeing that he had said the wrong thing, Qiushui closed his mouth in a sneer, seeing that Chang Youxi seemed to have fallen into a memory, his face showed bitter affection, Qiushui lowered his head reproachfully, "Sister, do you want to rest?" "It's she who makes my sister sad, so she is responsible for making her sister feel better, but Qiushui is honest and not clever enough, and she doesn't know how to make Chang Youxi happy.
"It's fine." How can you not know the meaning of autumn water? Shaking his head with a smile, "Let's go and see the yard where we will live in the future." Saying that, Chang Youxi pulled Qiushui and got up.
This Chunxi Courtyard, Chang Youxi just looked at the cabinet and liked it, she didn't have any hope for the courtyard, but she didn't want the scene in the courtyard to amaze her, this is what she liked!
A few jars of sake, a few small flowers, and a pair of swing racks, this is the life that Chang Youxi once dreamed of, but he didn't expect to go around and around here......
"His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince really has a heart." Qiushui looked at Chang Youxi's expression and thought that he had realized something, and teased with a smile.
Chang Youxi glanced at Qiushui, who was "bad at learning", expressionlessly, "He has a heart for me?" Yes, there is a heart. "Isn't there a heart, if you don't have the heart, how can you tie her up the day before you get married?
Thinking like this, Chang Youxi didn't have any intention of visiting, and walked into the house with a tired face, "Qiushui, you go prepare some hot water, take a bath and rest for a while." "It won't be so easy starting tomorrow.
The work of serving people, although I haven't done it, I want to know that it is very hard, how can I not rest well and nourish my spirit?
"Yes." Seeing that the corners of Chang Youxi's eyes and eyebrows revealed tiredness, Qiushui didn't say anything anymore, and went to work obediently.
Chang Youxi looked at Qiushui's immature back, full of guilt, this girl looks like she was only a teenager and began to serve people, no matter how you think about it, there is a feeling of using child labor.
……
"Your Majesty, Miss Chang is here." Xiao Dezi gently reminded the emperor in his ear that the emperor had just gone to the court when he was happy, and finally waited until the emperor was in the next court, and then he was dealing with political affairs, and Xiao Dezi never found a chance to talk to the emperor about it.
Now that the emperor finally decided to rest for a while, Xiao Dezi spoke.
"Well, let her wait a while, I'm busy." The emperor drank tea, without raising his eyelids, and the meaning of embarrassment was self-evident, "Xiao Dezi, how many years have you been with me?" Thinking about something, the emperor raised his eyelids and looked at the hunched little virtue in front of him.
"Back to the emperor, it's been seven years." Don't look at Xiao Dezi's age, he is actually an old man in the palace. He didn't understand why the emperor suddenly asked this question.
"I've been saved like this." The emperor sighed slightly, "You should understand all my rules, right?" Chang Youxi is no longer Miss Chang, just a show girl, not a master, and it is unruly to call Miss Chang. ”
On the surface, the emperor reprimanded Xiao Dezi for not following the rules, but in fact, the emperor wanted to say that Chang Youxi did not become a member of the royal family, and he could only be a slave over there.
"Yes, the minions deserve to die." The emperor's coercion is not something that a little eunuch like Xiao Dezi can withstand, and as soon as his legs are weak, he falls to his knees, "Please punish the emperor." "By the emperor's side, there is nothing that should not be punished if you make a mistake, and Xiao Dezi may be punished more lightly if he receives it himself.
The emperor seemed to be very satisfied with Xiao Dezi's acquaintance, "Well, go to the court bureau and get twenty whips yourself." ”
Because Xiao Dezi's acquaintance emperor did not punish him heavily, twenty lashes sounds like a lot, but compared to those who make mistakes and beat them to death, Xiao Dezi is already much luckier.
"Yes, the minion Xie Emperor Longen." Xiao Dezi kowtowed to the emperor, took a few steps back, and when he was about to reach the mouth, he heard the emperor's voice coming from afar, "Let Chang Youxi come in." ”
Chang Youxi stood at the door for several hours, his legs were almost unconscious, and he waited for the emperor's summons, and hurriedly went in, not seeing Xiao Dezi's complicated expression at the door.
Seeing her so reckless, Xiao Dezi sighed deeply, it seems that this game really doesn't know anything about the sinister in this palace.
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, which is really not a joke......
Forget it, it's okay to let her suffer a loss, for the sake of the right prime minister's face, the emperor will not give death so soon, and now he is unable to protect himself, where do he still have the heart to care about others.
