Chapter 16: Jealousy
Gu Yu saw that she was left out in the cold, her long sharp nails sinked into her palms, and she sneered, "You? You don't look at what you are? Okra topaz is priceless, and this jade pot is carved by the master of jade books, even if it is sold for ten or eight you, it is not as much as the weight of this jade pot! ”
As soon as Lin Sanniang heard this, her legs weakened, and she sat on the ground, her face pale, "The prince is gracious......
"I gave you two paths, and it doesn't seem to kill you, do I?" Li Xuanyi said indifferently, "An okra topaz pot, in exchange for a deed of sale for three people, or a deed of sale for one person, no matter where you put it, you earned it." ”
Lin Sanniang and Liang Mingyuan were speechless, one knelt on the ground, the other sat on the ground, and their faces were not very good-looking.
In ancient times, human life was cheaper than grass. What's more, they are just helpless poor people, and the other party is the prince of King Rong, who is deeply liked by the emperor.
This incident was doomed to her from the beginning.
It's just that when she rejected Li Xuanyi yesterday, she didn't expect him to use this method to force her to comply.
Isn't it just to be his maid? Do you need to pay for an okra topaz pot?
"Is what the prince said just now?" Liang Yan suddenly asked in a low voice.
The smile on Li Xuanyi's lips was slightly wider, "Naturally, take it seriously." ”
"Please also ask the prince to let go of my younger brother and mother, I am willing to be the servant of the prince." Liang Yan sighed and said.
"What a shame! To be a bitch, you have to set up a torii! She must have seduced the prince, and she is still pretending to be innocent here! "Looking at the lively crowd, I don't know who said a word.
"That's it! No matter how many people want to be the maid of the prince, they can't do it, she is cheap and good! Shameless! ”
"People want means and means, they want to have face, and they can put down their face to seduce, what ...... do you have?"
……
The surrounding discussion is getting louder and louder.
Liang Yan could only smile bitterly in her heart.
"Sister, I'm sorry...... I don't know......" Liang Mingyuan tugged at the corner of her clothes, tears hung in the corners of his eyes, and said with some worry and helplessness.
Liang Yan sighed and patted him on the shoulder.
Lin Sanniang turned over and knelt on the ground, "I beg the prince to let my sister-in-law go, I am willing to be a cow and a horse to pay off my debts!" ”
Liang Yan might as well Lin Sanniang would suddenly say this.
When she met the prince yesterday, she didn't tell Lin Sanniang, she knew that today's incident must be the son of the world to force her to comply, Lin Sanniang said such things at this time, and she could only bring humiliation on herself.
Sure enough, there was silence around them, and then a louder discussion erupted.
"The daughter is shameless, and this mother is even more shameless......"
"The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked......"
……
"A-Niang, get up!" Liang Yan frowned and stepped forward, vigorously pulling Lin Sanniang who was kneeling on the ground, "If he would agree, he wouldn't have forced us so much just now!" Do you really think he is a merciful man? ”
Lin Sanniang glared at her.
Li Xuanyi chuckled lightly, "You know me." ”
Gu Yu glared at Liang Yan fiercely with jealous eyes, and when she turned her eyes to look at Li Xuanyi, she had already changed her eyes to a full of tenderness, "Lord Shizi, are you serious?" Just to be angry, and you don't have to leave her by your side to disgust yourself? ”
Li Xuanyi said coldly: "Let people disperse." You come with me. ”
The latter sentence is naturally said to Liang Yan.
Gu Yu saw that the matter seemed to be a foregone conclusion, and waved her hand impatiently at the personal maid beside her.
The maid cleared her throat and scolded, "You are all idle and have nothing to do, waiting for the work, aren't you?" ”
The people around him who watched the excitement saw that the excitement was almost the same, and the master also spoke, so he pointed at Liang Yan's family while pointing at him, and scattered with jealousy.
The courtyard of the outer courtyard guest room quickly became cold.
"Sister, I'm sorry...... Otherwise, let's discuss with the prince and repay it in another way, right? Liang Mingyuan looked at the broken jade on the ground, and wanted to cry without tears.
"You are a child of a good family, if your father really passes the test, you are a child of an official family, how can you be a maid for others!" Lin Sanniang said while holding Liang Yan's hand.
Liang Yan looked at Gu Yu's back as she left with hatred, and said softly: "People have set traps for us to jump, now, is there any other way?" ”
Lin Sanniang frowned for a while, but she had nothing to say.
"Okay, be careful in the future." Liang Yan persuaded and followed the direction that Li Xuanyi left.
When Gu Yu returned to her room, she smashed two teacups one after another.
The maid beside her wanted to persuade, but she didn't dare to step forward.
"Didn't you say that King Rong never used maids? Didn't you say that the prince did not allow a woman to come within three steps? Doesn't it mean that the people who serve the prince in the capital are all small servants? How did you make that wild girl get ahead of the crowd as soon as she came? Gu Yu asked sharply.
The maid was submissive, but she couldn't answer. These are obviously heard of for a long time, and as soon as the prince entered the house, he said that the maids were not allowed to serve. Who knows how the girl of the Liang family ended up in the eyes of the son?
It is said that the prince of King Rong was quite favored by the emperor, and the prince and the six princes had a dispute a year ago, and the emperor favored the prince of Rong Wang and punished the six princes. It is rare that the Gu family met the prince of Rong on the way back to Beijing, and the prince was separated from the people around him. If you can take this opportunity to make friends with the prince and marry the prince......" Gu Yu said, her face was crimson, and she smiled a little shyly.
The maid on the side wanted to remind her that with her status as the daughter of the Gu family, it was impossible for her to marry the prince as his wife. But looking at the broken porcelain bowl on the ground, I still swallowed the words in my stomach.
"The most hateful thing is that Liang Yan! actually let her get mixed up with the prince first! Gu Yu's face turned hideous again.
Only then did the maid step forward and say, "Miss, in fact, this is not a bad thing. ”
"Huh?" Gu Yu raised her eyebrows.
"Liang Yan's mother and younger brother are in the Gu family, which means that Liang Yan's lifeblood is still in the hands of the Gu family and in the hands of Miss! Even if she serves by the side of the prince, she still has to obey the young lady's orders! The maid leaned over Gu Yu's ear and said softly, "This is no different from the original maid of the Gu family, who was sent to serve by the side of the prince." ”
Gu Yu frowned, thought for a while, and finally nodded slowly, "That's right, it's just that she looks particularly unpleasant!" ”
When Liang Yan came to the courtyard of the prince, Li Xuanyi was sitting under an old locust tree with pure white locust flowers.
On the stone table of white marble, there is a pot of tea and a game of chess.
Li Xuanyi's slender fingers were pinching a white seed, and his eyes fell on the chessboard, as if he was hesitating where to land.
The sweet aroma of locust flowers wafts around, and the occasional chirping birdsong emanates from the lush branches of the locust tree.
Liang Yan looked at Li Xuanyi's perfect side face, and somehow gave birth to the feeling of "the years are quiet".
"It's slow." As soon as Li Xuanyi's cold voice spoke, it destroyed the feeling of quiet years.
Liang Yan stepped forward and stood beside Li Xuanyi with her hands down, "What is the dispatch of the prince, just give orders." ”
When Li Xuanyi heard this, he snapped, dropped the white piece in his right hand on the chessboard, and picked up a black piece in his left hand, "Don't worry, sign the deed of sale first." ”
Liang Yan took another step forward, picked up the purple sand and gold teapot with both hands, added tea to the empty teapot in Li Xuanyi's hand, put down the teapot, and offered it with both hands: "The prince got up early in the morning, and he was busy working until now, so he was tired, right?" Drink some tea to quench your thirst. ”
Li Xuanyi put down the chess pieces and raised his eyes to look at Liang Yan who was standing half an arm away from him, without the slightest discomfort and discomfort on his body. He became more and more curious about Liang Yan in his heart. looked at the tea cup handed by Liang Yan and reached out to take it.
His fingertips touched hers.
Both of them were stunned.
Liang Yan quickly withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened.
Li Xuanyi looked at his fingers and thought thoughtfully.
"It's only now that I think of saying something nice, isn't it too late to do this?" Li Xuanyi blew the tea and asked indifferently.
