At night, the Prince's bedroom is brightly lit.

The prince glanced at his costume on the shelf, and with a lift of his hand, he threw me a mask, which was in the shape of a demon, and grinning with his teeth.

I knew he wanted me to disguise myself as him, but I always felt that this mask was tantamount to three hundred taels of silver here. I think that the light is dim at night, and the palace people did not dare to look directly at the prince's face, so I am likely to go to the test like this, and wearing a mask is too much.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid this mask is too eye-catching." I said, looking at the ugly mask.

He showed a disdainful expression: "You know a fart, this palace used to carry it a lot, and the palace people have seen it." ”

"Oh, I see." I tapped my mask on my face and compared it.

"If Zheng Muxin dares to disobey, he will call the palace, remember, you are the palace tonight." He pointed to my nose and swore abyssively.

I looked at him and was stunned, did he have any humanity, after all, the crown princess was the wife he was marrying, and she was ravaged by him~ so badly, he could still allow a eunuch to ride on her head.

At this moment, I'm glad that it was me, not Xiao Yuzi or anyone else.

The palace is lit up with countless lights, as bright as the stars, and it is a little warmer on this increasingly cold night.

With a ghost mask on my face, I got down from the prince's sedan chair, looking at the three big characters "Li He Palace" above my head, and my heart was both nervous and a little sad.

I took a deep breath and walked into the hall in the usual unruly manner of the prince.

"Meet the Prince—" The palace people saluted in unison.

Through the mask, I watched the room full of people bow down to me, and I was actually a little excited.

"The concubines have never greeted His Highness from afar, and I hope His Highness will forgive his sins." The crown princess hurried to salute, and it was difficult to hide her timidity and panic under the dignity.

I walked up to her and lifted her up myself. I didn't dare to speak, I could only show my attitude with my actions.

She was lifted up by me, a little flattered. Her face was still as white as snow, and it could be broken by blowing. She curled the corners of her mouth and smiled shallowly, but it seemed to me that she was smiling far-fetched, and her clear eyes were clearly filled with distressing gloom and sorrow.

She was unwilling, but she couldn't help the pressure exerted on her by the Zheng family, she couldn't refuse, so she could only let herself go.

She and I walked into the inner hall, and I raised my hand and waved away the palace people who were keeping vigil, which made her even more uneasy, and she didn't even dare to look at me.

She and I were the only ones left in the inner sanctum, and I took off my mask. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, glancing at the mask I had thrown on the table, still not looking up at me.

As I approached her, I could feel her slender body tremble slightly, it looked like flesh on a knife, and I could only watch the sharp white blade approach me, but I couldn't dodge or cry.

"The slave maid meets the princess." I bowed ninety degrees and bowed to her.

The sudden move startled her, and she shook her whole body as she grabbed the bed rails with both hands to protect herself.

The moment she saw my face, her expression was very complicated, shocked, confused, confused...... She seemed to be greatly stimulated, and she couldn't recover for a long time, so she was stunned.

"Mother? Don't be afraid......" I tried to comfort her.

"How are you?" Her delicate voice was a little hoarse, and she was really frightened.

"Your Highness, he has something important to deal with tonight, and he is afraid that he will snub Niangniang, so he sent a slave to talk to Niangniang."

The prince is indeed very busy tonight, and before I went out, I heard him tell Xiao Yuzi to find him three palace maids to send him to the palace. This kind of thing is simply a strange joke, the prince asked the eunuch to pretend to be himself to deal with his crown princess, and he himself slept with the palace maid in a chic and comfortable manner.

The crown princess was still frightened, and her eyes were a little messy. It's understandable that she was ready to die again, but she didn't expect the situation to change drastically, and the prince became a eunuch.

I guess I can't wait for her to calm me down, so I straightened up a little and said, "Niangniang don't worry, others only know that the prince will stay in the Li He Hall tonight, and nothing else." It's just that the slave can only be in the same room with the mother tonight, and if you have wronged the mother, I hope you will forgive me. ”

"You're bold!" She glared at me in shame.

I know that the notion of women who are not intimate with each other is deeply ingrained in the minds of women in this era, especially women of noble birth who value chastity and honor. So I explained, "Calm your anger, sleep in your bed, and the slave sleeps on the chair, and it is considered a vigil for you." ”

She looked at me defensively, as if thinking about something, but didn't say anything to me again.

"It's not early, mother, please go to bed in loose clothes." I turned my back and looked at the corner of the wall as if I had thought about it.

The room was extremely quiet, and she seemed to be struggling to accept her current form, and after a long time she finally moved slowly, and I heard the soft sound of a ring in the direction of the dresser, and it was she who was removing her tiara.

"Niangniang, since you are homesick, why don't you stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a few more days?" I asked curiously.

The squirming voice behind me suddenly stopped, and after a while, she replied coldly, "This is not what you should ask. ”

I smiled softly at the wall: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that if you don't like to chat with slaves and maids, Your Highness will come to accompany you personally." Presumably, the slave maid is clumsy, which makes the mother unhappy, and the slave and maid will go back to His Royal Highness, and it is inconvenient to salute at this time, I hope the mother will forgive me. ”

I walked straight to the door, every step was sonorous.

"You stop." Her footsteps rang twice, as if she had risen from her dressing chair. I only heard her take a deep breath, and then said, "This palace didn't let you go." ”

I turned my back to her and laughed silently. I quickly adjusted my mood and asked cutely, "Could it be that Niangniang likes to chat with slaves?" ”

"......," she was silent. If the prince really comes and tortures her, she is better than dead, if she says she likes it, she will definitely cooperate with me to chat.

"Hongu is tired." For a long time, she squeezed out such a sentence.

She's a smart girl. I smiled and said, "The slave and maid don't disturb the mother's rest, the slave and maid are here, and if you have any orders, call the slave and maid at any time." ”

I curled up in a cold chair, it was close to December, and although it wasn't snowing, it was cold enough. Fortunately, I was wearing the prince's cotton clothes, which were many times warmer than the palace people, otherwise I would have froze and sobbed in this cold night.

In a daze, I vaguely heard a low call, and her voice was soft like a princess.

I came to my senses, listened carefully, and sure enough, it was her voice, coming from the layers of gauze tents.

"You come here......"

I can't believe my ears, she, let me pass?! Could it be that you are talking in your sleep? I didn't dare to move, I sat up straight in my chair, holding my breath and worrying.

"Come here, take this quilt."

I reacted and couldn't help but be a little shocked: "Mother...... mother"

I walked lightly to the bed, only to see that she had pushed a quilt out of the gauze tent, intended for me.

I was overjoyed and thanked, but she didn't say anything more.

My heart is warm, I feel that I have not suffered in vain, she is a woman who should be treated well.

Although I had the quilt given by the crown princess, I was still choked by the cold this night, and when I went out the next day, I found that it was white outside, and it was snowing, no wonder I felt more and more cold last night.

The palace was full of people who were busy clearing the snow palace, and I was carried back to the prince's dormitory after enjoying the snow scene of the palace's red tiles and white heads.

As soon as the prince saw me, he scolded me, blaming me for coming back too late, and he was already impatient to wait. Because as long as I don't come back, he can only hide in the palace and can't go out, and if it is found that the two princes appear at the same time, it will be a big incident.

As soon as the prince went out and saw the snow all over the ground, his brows immediately furrowed, he knew that it was snowing, but he didn't expect the snow to be so deep that the uncleaned snow could not reach above his ankle when he stepped on it.

He stood in the courtyard, looking at the white snow on the ground, and his face became more and more ugly.

He was originally going to play Keju with a few princes today, but he didn't expect a sudden snowfall, which completely disrupted the plan.

Manual cleaning is not more time-consuming and labor-intensive than modern mechanical operations, if you have to clean up a Keju site is not impossible, it is inevitable to make a big move, and it will take at least a day or two.

The palace people in the East Palace have all learned a skill, that is, to observe the prince's words and feelings, and found that the prince was in a bad mood at this time, no one dared to breathe, and no one wanted to be his cannon fodder, so he could hide away.

The prince's face was gloomy, and he couldn't find an outlet for him to relieve his anger, and his heart was depressed, and he kicked his leg on the peach tree next to him.

The peach tree was not very strong, and the bare branches shook when he was forbidden to have one foot. The snow on the branches of the tree trickled down, and the prince fell all over his face.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuzi hurriedly went up and shouted in a fuss: "Yo, Your Highness, you can beat and scold the slave and maid if you don't feel bad, don't hurt yourself, your feet are fine...... Yo, why did it fall in the snow, the slave helped you wipe ......"

The prince pushed Xiao Yuzi away with his backhand, his eyes glared at the palace people who were sweeping the snow in the courtyard, his eyes were vicious, and he roared: "Damn it." ”

As soon as the voice came out, it was as if the whole world was dead silent, but it only stayed for a few seconds. The palace people fell to their knees in unison, shouting for mercy, but I guess they must have been confused in their hearts at this time, how they were so cautious, and how they still angered the living Hades.

The prince wiped the water from the melting snowflakes on his face with one hand, and said with a cold face: "How do you work, the snow on the trees is not snow." ”

Xiao Yuzi also reacted at this time, and he immediately answered and scolded those palace people. After scolding, he suggested again: "Your Highness, why don't you reward everyone with twenty boards and change a group of people to clear the snow?" ”

The prince pondered for a moment, suddenly raised his eyes, and his pupils suddenly widened: "No." Let them slap each other until they vomit blood. ”

Soon, the "snap" slap in the courtyard sounded, and the palace people didn't dare to show mercy to each other, almost every slap was a slap and five marks, because Xiao Yuzi said that if anyone didn't work hard, he would teach him in person.
