Xiao Ye and I talked and laughed and returned to the ink garden, and saw Chu Lan holding the mattress and quilt cover in her hand and preparing to take it out to dry it out, it was rare for the sun to be so good, she was thinking about it a few days ago.

Chu Lan noticed that we were coming, and smiled at first, and when her eyes fell on Xiao Ye's red and swollen cheeks, her voice changed in fright: "How can a good person be like this?" Didn't you go to the account office to get the money? ”

Chu Lan's anxiety is very real, as a slave, she must have seen how the injury on Xiao Ye's face was obtained, and only I realized it later, the maids around me were always bullied, but I didn't knock out the clues, and I was able to live my own life with peace of mind, my master was really a failure.

Xiao Ye stuck out his tongue mischievously: "Sister Chulan, don't say it, it doesn't hurt anymore." "She didn't want me to feel guilty anymore.

Chu Lanxiu's eyebrows furrowed: "I'll rub some ointment on your face when I go back, it will take at least two or three days for the swelling to disappear if it is so high." ”

I saw that she had a job in her hands, so I volunteered: "Chulan, you tell me where the medicine box is, and I will just apply medicine to Xiaoye." "Xiao Ye is for me and Chu'er to quarrel so that Mrs. Xiang seized the opportunity to play on the topic, how to say that I am the initiator.

Chu Lan was stunned: "The medicine to reduce swelling and remove stasis is on the small table in the slave's house, with a blue bottle on a white background." ”

"I remember." After saying that, I took Xiaoye to the Chulan house.

Although it was Chu Lan's house, in fact, Chu Lan and Xiao Ye lived together, they were the maids who served me closely, so they were separated, and Aunt Yun lived alone in the room next to them. I seldom come to the maid's quarters, and I can't help but look at them a few more times.

The furnishings in the house can not be simpler, the bed is the bed, the table is the table, the eyes can see clearly, the only eye-catching is the white porcelain vase placed on the windowsill, not expensive but clean, the vase is obliquely inserted with three or two osmanthus flowers, the whole room is fragrant, so pleasant. That's why Chu Lan has such a clever mind.

I asked Xiao Ye to sit down, and I went to the small table next to the bed to find the small royal blue medicine box, unscrewed the lid and smelled it, the elegant fragrance wafted out, it smelled good.

I followed Aunt Yun's example and dipped my index finger in a pearl-sized ointment and applied it to the palm of my hand, and then rubbed my two hands back and forth, the slippery touch came from the palm, and I comforted Xiao Ye: "It will hurt, bear with it." ”

I put the palm of my right hand on the swollen half of Xiaoye's face, and rubbed it with some force, and sure enough, Xiaoye grinned and gasped, which was very exaggerated. In order to prevent her from dodging, I hurriedly pressed her neck with my idle hand: "At this time, I knew that it hurt to shout, where did I have the courage to quarrel with others at that time?" ”

Typical speech does not go through the brain, if it is not greedy for pleasure, where does the suffering come from?

This time, it was Xiao Ye's turn to despise me in turn: "Doesn't the princess often say that she doesn't fight for steamed buns?" The slave and maid were beaten for a small time, and when they saw the domineering Mrs. Xiang, they tasted bitterness more than eating ten more bowls of rice. ”

Dare to use my words to gag my mouth, I squinted and smiled, and suddenly increased the force in my hand, and pressed down on her cheek mercilessly, this time I came forward for her to ask for a reluctant justice, but next time it may not be so lucky, and once Li Xuan knows that his favorite concubine was beaten by me, I am not sure what kind of attitude it is. People are under the eaves, and I still have to bow my head.

"Ahh

I said angrily: "The next time you are so ignorant of the sky and the height of the earth, and you get into trouble and suffer grievances, I will just ignore it, turn a blind eye and let others clean you up." ”

Xiao Ye nodded seriously.

I know this sentence is very heavy, but I hope Xiao Ye can understand a truth, no matter how much I spoil her in the ink garden, but out of my shelter, she must remember her identity and not be strong.

Xiao Ye obediently admitted her mistake, and said that she would not dare to have a next time, I sighed, and she turned to worry about me again: "Princess, what if Mrs. Xiang really ran to tell the prince?" ”

She can be regarded as remembering the situation of her princess, I rubbed her face for a little bit, and said unhurriedly: "Don't you always like to say that Li Xuan likes me?" Then he is willing to blame me and punish me? ”

I don't even have the confidence to say this, I don't know what kind of weight I am in Li Xuan's heart, hey, I just want to turn big things into small things, and if I annoy Li Xuan, don't think about having a good life.

"Oh no—" Xiaoye screamed.

"Suddenly—" I scolded.

Xiao Ye looked at my face with pity and said, "Princess, today is Mrs. Xiang's birthday-"

If she doesn't say what she said later, I can also think that Li Xuan will definitely go to Qinyuan tonight to accompany Mrs. Xiang, he will definitely see the injury on Mrs. Xiang's face, and he doesn't have to wait until tomorrow morning, maybe he will come to Moyuan in the second half of the night to ask me about my teacher.

I was a little irritable: "Can I settle Li Xuan just by looking at me?" ”

Xiaoye lowered her head and closed her mouth.

I might as well ask for more blessings, it's better for Li Xuan to get drunk in Qinyuan tonight, and stay there all night, at least so that I can sleep well and face his anger again.

God didn't pay attention to my cry at all, in the dead of night, Li Xuan came to the ink garden alone, he stared at me with a blurred eye, I smelled the strong smell of wine on his body and pinched my nose uncomfortably, how much did this guy do?

He has always been calm and self-controlled, he rarely gets drunk like this, I can't imagine that Mrs. Xiang's birthday is so important to him, my heart is a little sour, I don't bother to deal with him, I only called Chu Lan to cook a bowl of sobering soup.

"She's just a concubine with no name, why do you bother with each other?" Li Xuan asked me.

I stared at him with wide eyes, and when I heard his words clearly, I began to regret that I had kindly let Chu Lan go to the decanting soup. He came to me for a woman who instigated a servant to slander me, and asked me about his body, what was wrong with me?

"You said that you only want the only one in this life, and you don't want to share it with others, I have dismissed all the concubines in the house, leaving only Yin Meng. She came to the Central Plains alone for me, and I can't abandon her. I won't touch her again, but you're so humiliated with her. Qin Xi, did I misread you, or are you no longer the same person you used to be? ”

I heard every word Li Xuan said clearly, and spit out the truth after drinking, this is true, I always feel that something is missing between me and Li Xuan, and at this moment I understand that what we lack is the trust that will stay together until old age.
