The morning sun always shines softly on me.

I got up and called my personal maid Qinglian.

She was a year or two younger than me, and when I first met her, she knelt on the street and begged for money to treat her father's illness, and I saw that she was pitiful and filial, so I took her home.

She didn't have a name, but her father called her "Niko", so I thought of one for her.

Qinglian, selected from Wei Feng in the Book of Poetry, hopes that she will be beautiful and bright in the future, and grow up happily in the future.

"Qinglian." I called her in my room.

"Yes, miss, is there something going on?" Qinglian stood outside the door and replied to me.

She has always been the most diligent and obedient, loyal, and knowledgeable of Entu, so much so that I always like to carry her with me. I trust her.

"It's time for me to get up, come in and freshen up for me." I mumbled to say that I still felt tired.

"Yes." Qing Lian answered outside the door and gently pushed the door in, coming in.

She helped me sit down in front of the dresser, and first pulled up my green silk with a lotus hairpin. The lotus flower is carved from jade, and a few pale blue tassels hang down. The pattern of each tassel is different, which is the preciousness of this hairpin. It's just that what makes me more precious is that it came from the hand of the person who gave it to me, which was given to me by Ache on my birthday.

Qinglian gently hooked my willow eyebrows, then applied powder to me, and finally gently swiped the lip paper to my lips, and said with a smile: "Miss is really a peerless beauty, she looks more and more beautiful, I don't know which son will be cheaper in the future." Is it Li Che's son of the Li Mansion? ”

Qinglian has been by my side for many years, and I have gradually become like sisters, so naturally they dare to joke with me.

I don't know if I like Ah Che or not, but I know that I don't resent Qing Lian's joke that I will marry Li Che in the future.

It's just that as soon as I went out, I heard from the servants in the house that there was a distinguished guest in the house today, and my father and aunt told me to go quickly.

I answered.

When I entered the guest room, I saw a tall, slender figure who was not too rugged, with a dizzying smile on his thin lips. Looking into his eyes, I knew that he was the man who sent me home last night but made me fearful, Donggong, the prince.

Let me be half scared and half grateful.

Before I left, I knelt down and said, "The courtier Shen Qinghuan sees His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The crown prince of the East Palace did not have half of the royal arrogance, and said: "No courtesy." Then he said: "I heard that Miss Shen Fu has a bright and moving appearance, and when I saw it today, she really deserved her reputation." ”

He didn't tell Daddy and Auntie about me last night. I'm a thin-skinned person, and after I recognize the prince, I'm afraid that he will also recognize me, and I will tell my father and aunt about last night's incident, then I really can't see anyone. Fortunately, he didn't mention it, pretending to have just met me, thank you, I said it silently in my heart.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, for your compliment." I said.

"I wonder what His Highness deigned to come to the Shen Mansion today?" Daddy asked.

I also know the meaning of Daddy's words, the prince suddenly came out today, and there must be something important that Daddy needs to help.

The prince's appearance looks unruly in the eyes of some people, maybe he really came to Shen Mansion to play, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the light flowing from his eyes makes people dare not underestimate it. It's scary.

Shen Shangshu is really straightforward and hearty. However, there is nothing important in this palace today, whether Shen Shangshu believes it or not, this palace is really here to be a guest today. How? Shen Shangshu is not welcome? His eyes were deep, but the words that came out of his mouth were unusually gentle.

"What did Your Highness say, the minister just asked casually, it is really an honor for His Highness to deign the Shen Mansion." Daddy replied respectfully.

Maybe it's me and Daddy worrying too much. It's just that living in this palace, how can people not be suspicious? I smiled and played a round: "It turns out that His Royal Highness is a guest in this mansion, so you might as well ask the servants to serve the food quickly, so that Your Highness can taste the most distinctive Poria cake in this mansion." Although it is not as good as the food in His Highness's palace, it is indeed delicious. "When I say that, it's not good to talk more. If you are saying that you don't give face to the prince, who dares to offend, and there is still half a sentence?

Daddy and aunt invited the prince to the table for dinner, but I saw that the prince suddenly turned to me. The more he looked at him, the deeper his eyes became, the more seductive they became, and he said casually: "Does Miss Shen also like to eat this Poria cake?" ”

I replied softly: "Your Highness, the courtiers don't like or dislike Poria cakes. It's just that most of the people in the house like to eat Poria cake, and the courtiers dare to recommend it to His Royal Highness. ”

The prince played with the jet-black hair scattered on his shoulders, his eyes were a little mocking, and asked me, "Then what does Miss Shen like to eat?" ”

I replied, "Hibiscus cake." ”

The prince stood up and asked, "Why don't you ask the servants in the palace to make hibiscus cakes, but instead make pastries that you don't like very much?" ”

I had already guessed that the Prince of the East Palace would ask me, because more than one person had asked me this question, and Ah Che.

"Maybe it's the courtiers who are picky, everything up and down in this house is delicious, but except for hibiscus cake. The courtiers only love to eat what the old woman on the street makes, and in the eyes of the courtiers, no one can do better than her. ”

He didn't speak, just waved his hand. Daddy hurriedly went up to lead the way. It's just that for some reason, when the prince comes to the house today, my heart is always very worried. As if something had to happen.

Looking at the hour, it was rare to wonder why Ah Che didn't come today. It's just that thinking about it again, Ah Che's family background is also a famous family, how can he grow up so big and have nothing to do and still run to the house every day, maybe something will be entangled. He always has his own things to do, and he can't be by my side every day. Eventually, we will be separated.

Looking up at the sky, the clouds and lights were intertwined, but there were a few crows chirping roughly at the top of the house. I know that the crow is ominous, but I don't know why I believe that the prince will not harm me. In this way, I was relieved, and I hurriedly followed.
