Chapter 11: The Restless Princess
The night she slept with Xiaoping, Jiang Xinyi gained a lot, she told the girl that she had lost her memory since she fell into the water, Xiaoping told her everything she wanted to know, but not including why the prince didn't like her, it seemed that the women in the front yard were sent by the minister or something, even if he didn't like it, they were all face-saving and properly placed, but she was so "special".
I learned from Xiaoping's mouth that it is now the nineteenth year of Anhe, this country is called Dongliangguo, Wen Yuxin is the third son of the emperor today, his mother is Xigong Niangniang, he was named King Yu at the age of fifteen, and there is a side concubine in his house, called Sima Yulian, who is the pearl of the book of the dynasty, and there are five ladies, Wen Yeyan is Wen Yuxin's half-brother, the seventh among the princes, and the current prince is born to the queen of the main palace、、、
The next morning, when Jiang Xinyi woke up, Xiaoping's shadow had long been gone, and when she sat up, Xiaoping had already walked into the house with hot water, "The master is awake, Ping'er is waiting for you to change your clothes." Xiaoping said.
Jiang Xinyi just took the clothes handed over by Xiaoping, but didn't let her help her put them on, so Xiaoping stood by honestly and watched, and reminded her when she saw that she was inside and out.
After combing, Xiaoping asked what hair accessories to wear, she rummaged through the jewelry box on the dresser, picked up a simple beaded flower and asked Xiaoping to insert it in her hair.
"Master, this golden step is beautiful, Ping'er plugged it in for you?" Xiaoping asked.
"No, it's just the two of us in this yard, who will you show those things?" Jiang Xinyi shook her head and refused. "I'll give it to you if you like it." She said to Xiaoping.
"Ping'er doesn't want it, the master is the most beautiful even if he doesn't wear anything." Xiaoping looked at Jiang Xinyi and said.
"As far as you can pat yourself, in my opinion, my Ping'er is still the most beautiful." Jiang Xinyi praised sincerely.
"Master, don't laugh at Ping'er, no matter how beautiful it is, it's a human life." Xiaoping couldn't help sighing.
Jiang Xinyi stood up and took Xiaoping's hand, and asked very gently; "Tell me, have you thought about your future?"
"Back to the master, with an identity like me, where do you dare to think about the future, being sold into the palace is not a free body, if you are lucky, you will be rewarded by the master to a meritorious male servant in the palace as a wife, that is the best destination." Xiaoping replied gloomily.
"Oh, why don't you think like other girls, if you're lucky, make a room for the prince, with your beauty, maybe you'll become a concubine, and Madame may not be able to." Jiang Xinyi wanted to tease this little girl and see how she answered.
"Master, Ping'er doesn't have that idea, and she doesn't want to fight with those people, if she doesn't get it, she won't even be able to keep a child, Ping'er used to just want to marry an ordinary person and wash and cook for him every day. Now, I just want to serve my master for the rest of my life. Xiaoping said firmly.
Jiang Xinyi didn't expect that this girl was assertive, "Fool, if you don't marry, I still have to marry." She laughs.
"What? Master? Do you want to get married? Keep your voice down so that no one can hear you. Xiaoping was terrified when she heard this, and her eyes hurriedly looked out the door.
Seeing that she was afraid of this, Jiang Xinyi choked her laughter enough, and it seemed that Xiaoping's voice was even louder. "Of course I'm going to find another lover, do you want my master and my good years to be spent in this place?" Jiang Xinyi said what was in her heart.
"However, you are the princess, maybe in a few days, the prince will know your goodness and will take you to the front yard." Xiaoping hurriedly persuaded.
Jiang Xinyi patted Xiaoping's shoulder with her hand and said to her; "I won't share a man with other women, my man can only belong to me alone, and he can only have me alone in his heart."
Xiaoping's eyes widened, she didn't understand, powerful men are all wives and concubines, only poor men can marry a woman pitifully, does the master want to marry a poor man?
Looking at Xiaoping's appearance, Jiang Xinyi said with a smile; "Ping'er, I'm hungry."
"Ah, Ping'er go get breakfast." Xiaoping stopped worrying about what the master said, and hurried out.
It's been more than ten days, except for the people who send them ingredients every day and the people who collect night incense in this courtyard, no one really comes to disturb them, not even Ji Hai has come, Jiang Xinyi's body has basically recovered, and the burns on Xiaoping's neck have also healed. In the courtyard, the master and servant had a good life.
"Ping'er, what are you thinking?" Jiang Xinyi suddenly saw where Xiaoping was stunned, could it be that she missed her parents?
"Master, Ping'er remembered a good sister, I was lucky to meet a good master, she is still suffering." Xiaoping said, tears flowed involuntarily, and then she talked about Xiaohui.
Xiaohui was serving Mrs. Miaoyun, because once, she took the wrong cloak for Mrs. and was punished by Mrs. Niang, and it happened that the prince met her to intercede, and then Mrs. had a mustard, for fear that the prince would accept Xiaohui, and one day later, Xiaohui's face was injured, saying that she accidentally fell at night, because she had no treatment and had a scar, and then Xiaohui was sent to the laundry room to do chores, and the laundry room people said that she wanted to be rich and climb the prince's bed, so they all ridiculed her and bullied her.
"Master, Ping'er knows that she shouldn't say this, but Ping'er still wants to beg you, can you ask Xiaohui over? She has very skillful hands and is willing to do anything. Xiaoping asked with tears in her eyes.
"What do I have here, do you feel like you're enjoying it?" Jiang Xinyi asked angrily and funny. Really, if she hadn't been injured, even this Ping'er girl wouldn't have come. Besides, I was waiting for the opportunity to leave the palace, and I originally planned to be comfortable and convenient by myself, but now there is another oil bottle, if there is another one? Fainted, can she take care of it?
"Master, Ping'er feels like she fell into the sugar pot since she followed you, no more nightmares at night, don't worry about saying the wrong thing during the day, the master is very good to Ping'er." Ping'er expressed her feelings incoherently.
Alas, poor child, Jiang Xinyi looked at Xiaoping distressedly and said; "Ping'er, if I have the opportunity, I will find a way to bring Xiaohui's girl over, and you will have a companion in the future."
"Really? Na Ping'er thanked her master for Xiaohui first. Xiaoping grinned, tears still hanging on her face.
"By the way, Ping'er, do you know where this wall is?" Jiang Xinyi pointed to the courtyard wall on the left and asked.
"This Ping'er knows that it is a forest, and it is the property that belongs to the prince." Xiaoping said she didn't understand what the princess meant by asking.
Of course, Jiang Xin has her thoughts, she has to slowly understand the surrounding terrain, if she wants to leave here, she has to be fully prepared, and it is OK to fight for it once.
"Ping'er, in order to celebrate my physical recovery, your burns are also healed, take advantage of this autumn cool autumn for the two of us to swim in autumn, you go find a blanket, and I will prepare to eat." Jiang Xinyi ordered excitedly.
"Autumn outing? I can't help it, master, how can we get out, don't you want to 、、? Xiaoping asked in a panic as she pointed to the wall behind her.
"That's smart." Jiang Xinyi gave Xiaoping a thumbs up in praise, then turned around and went into the kitchen, leaving Xiaoping to look at the wall with her mouth open, and helplessly entered the room to find a blanket.
Jiang Xinyi went to the kitchen to find flint, velvet, salt, pepper, and a piece of mutton sent in the morning, she cut the mutton into small pieces, took a handful of bamboo skewers, this bamboo skewer was she asked Xiaoping to cut the bamboo in the yard, at that time Xiaoping asked her what she was for, Jiang Xinyi didn't say, she put these in a basket, out of the kitchen, she saw Xiaoping holding a blanket in her hand waiting for her, and when she came out, she took the basket.
"Master, this wall is so high." Xiaoping said.
Jiang Xinyi didn't answer, she saw a small tree outside this wall, hehe, found the way, she called Xiaoping to put down the things in her hand first, and carried two chairs with herself and landed where there was a small tree outside the wall, wiped it, and it was very stable.
In this way, she was satisfied with the first climb on the stool, more than two meters high wall, stepped on the stacked stool, put her hands on the wall, and straddled the wall, this ancient wall is as good, that is, there is no broken glass on it, she motioned to Xiaoping below to go up first, although Xiaoping is a maid, but she has not done this thing so big, she seems a little excited, and a little afraid.
It's like Jiang Xinyi, who climbed the wall for three years when she was in high school, went to an Internet café to play games, and went to KTV to sing.
The master and servant didn't know, on the big tree outside the other wall, a figure jumped down, he was Xiao Li, the secret sentry arranged by Wen Yuxin in the backyard, the prince ordered him to pay attention to the people in the yard, and he didn't say whether he wanted him to protect or monitor, for more than ten days, he looked at the master and servant in the courtyard and laughed and called a comfortable, if he didn't know that one of them was the princess, he almost suspected that these were just two beautiful maids, who were safe every day, but what happened today? The princess wants to run? It's worth it! I have to report to my lord quickly.
