Winnie carefully held a bowl of freshly steamed egg custard and walked into the gorgeous room. With a smile on the corner of her mouth, she was about to raise her head to speak, when her movements suddenly froze.

A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl with a pretty face sat next to Zhu Jiayi, persuaded him to eat a bowl of bird's nest with a smile, and said: "This is the high-grade blood swallow in the Nanhai Tribute Palace. I specially asked the best cook in the palace to use the purest mountain spring water as the base, add snowflake sugar from Annan, and stew it for a full day before this cup was stewed. I'm afraid that the little prince won't eat sweet, and I asked them to add some coconut water, but the little prince thinks it's still delicious? ”

Zhu Jiayi was swallowing bitterly, and he didn't have the patience to taste it carefully: "It's good, it's just too thin, it's all water, not as good as the osmanthus balls I used to eat." ”

A trace of contempt flashed in the girl's eyes, but there was still a smile on her face: "Little prince, this bird's nest is like this, although it is a little thinner, but it is extremely replenishing to the body, and the average rich and noble family may not be able to eat it, how can osmanthus balls be compared with it?" ”

She looked up at Yunni, as if she had just discovered the latter: "Yo, why is Miss Yunnie here?" The little prince is hungry, why didn't you wait in front of you? What if I am hungry and the little prince is broken? I must tell Mr. Wang about this! ”

Yunni pursed her lips and said a little angrily: "I'm just for the father...... The little prince went to make food, you bird's nest or something, where can you eat a full stomach? And I've never heard that bird's nest has to be stewed for a day, isn't it all water? He is too young to know this, so don't coax him, besides, this thing is not for him to eat! ”

The girl's face sank, she didn't know how to cook, but she was unwilling to let others refute her own face, so she glanced at Yunni's hand and asked coldly, "What are you holding in your hand?" ”

Winnie ignored her. walked forward and put the egg custard in front of Zhu Jiayi: "Didn't you just clamo to eat this?" I added more sesame oil and chopped green onions, and it's hot, you ......."

Before she could finish speaking, the girl had already covered her mouth and laughed: "What is the other word?" It turned out to be this kind of thing. Yunni, the status of the little prince is noble. How can you eat such lowly food? I don't have to make people look down on it. Have you lived a poor life outside for too long, and now that you have entered the palace and enjoyed great blessings, you still can't change your poor sourness? ”

Yunni blushed, glared at her and said, "You don't laugh at people, this is what the little prince ordered me to do!" ”

Zhu Jiayi shrank his neck a little uncomfortably, and the girl's words pierced his heart like a thorn. Although he is stubborn and willful, he has lived in King Kang's Mansion for so long, and he has begun to know how to cherish his face. He is now the most noble little master in this magnificent palace, how can he make people laugh at being poor? Come to think of it. He then scolded Yunni, "When did I say I wanted to eat this?" It's clear that you insist on making something for me to eat, is this kind of custard worthy of my identity? Don't you get out of here yet?! With a wave of his hand, the hot, fragrant custard fell to the ground, splashing the ground and staining Winnie's dress.

Winnie was full of grievances. couldn't help but reddened his eyes, covered his face and cried. The girl looked at her embarrassment proudly, and said casually, "What are you crying about?" Didn't you hear the little prince's orders? I've grown so big in the palace, I've never seen a slave like you who doesn't know the rules! ”

Zhu Jiayi was a little sneering, listened to the girl's words, and hurriedly scolded: "Yes." Didn't you hear me, Winnie? Get out of here! ”

The sound in the house alarmed the people outside the house, and Widow Qin rushed over when she heard the news, and just heard Zhu Jiayi's voice reprimanding Yun Ni, she didn't know what to do, so she scolded Yun Ni first according to her usual habits: "The little prince has ordered, why are you disobedient?" Why don't you get out yet?! Winnie burst out crying. Widow Qin smiled again and turned back to coax Zhu Jiayi: "Your sister has never been clever, don't blame her, she will still be like this next time, you tell me, I will teach her a lesson!" ”

Zhu Jiayi pouted in annoyance: "Got it!" The girl still sat aside, looking at Widow Qin with a look of contempt and a bit of mockery.

Seeing that she didn't move, Widow Qin's face sank, and when she saw the wolf on the ground, she sneered: "Who is this bowl?" The maid in this room just stood like this, and didn't sweep the ground, it's really not like words! I have to talk to Mr. Wang, and change all the people! ”

The girl straightened up and raised her eyebrows: "Auntie doesn't need to insinuate like this, the bowl was sent in by Yunni, the little prince fell, Yunni didn't clean it up, how can I do it for me?" Mr. Wang has a lot of opportunities every day, how many things to be busy with, and this trivial matter is also a shame that his aunt has the face to annoy him. If you don't like it, why don't you clean it up? You're used to doing this kind of thing anyway, aren't you? ”

Widow Qin was furious in her heart: "Okay, you stinky girl who doesn't know the rules and doesn't know the etiquette, which onion are you?" How dare you put up a stand in front of me?! Your parents are just the sons of the royal family, and by the grace of the prince, the couple were released to run a small business, and they are no different from us in terms of status, they are both slaves and maids. I'm still the little prince's aunt, so I'm a little more noble than you. What are you pretending to be in front of me?! annoyed the little prince, pulled out a board and knocked it to death, see if your father and mother dare to say anything! ”

The girl stood up abruptly and glared: "Don't compare me to you!" What kind of aunt are you the little prince? The little prince is the blood of the prince, his father is the late prince, his mother is the princess who died early, and his aunt is still in Zhongzhou. But anyone who cares about the little prince knows how noble his identity is, and hopes that others can respect him, and there is only you, relying on the old man who has raised the little prince for a few years, he relies on the old and sells the old, shouting that he is his aunt all day long, for fear that others will not underestimate him. No matter how bad I am, I'm also the daughter of the prince's cronies and stewards, what are you? If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Wang was tolerant and tolerant, you were a criminal slave who abducted the prince's son for so many years, and you would have been beaten to death on the day you returned home, and you would have lost your temper at me! ”

"You ......" Widow Qin trembled with anger and dragged Zhu Jiayi over, "This girl is going to rebel, little prince, let's go to Mr. Wang to reason!" If he doesn't dispose of this girl, we'll be done with him! ”

She pulled Zhu Jiayi to go out, but the latter frowned and clung to the edge of the table and refused to leave: "I won't go, and you won't be allowed to go." People will laugh at me! Widow Qin looked at him in disbelief: "What are you talking about?" Little prince, this girl is laughing at us, she looks down on you, do you just put up with it? ”

Zhu Jiayi only felt extremely embarrassed: "I won't go!" Don't make a fuss, Xiuyun was specially selected by Manager Wang to serve me, and she knows a lot of things. The identity is not comparable to ordinary girls. Don't scold her anymore, and stop telling people that you're my aunt. I am the little prince of King Kang's mansion. You're just a lowly servant. Let people know that you are my aunt, and people will laugh at me! ”

Widow Qin only felt that her eyes were dark, and she could hardly believe what she heard: "Little prince...... What are you talking about?! Isn't it...... Did this little prostitute say something in front of you? How did you...... I don't even recognize my aunt?! ”

Xiuyun said in a cold voice: "Widow Qin, you don't arrange people indiscriminately, the little prince has orders, why don't you obey as a subordinate?" Do you think that the little prince's orders do not need to be obeyed? If you don't know how to be humble like this, I will go back to the king and ask him to replace you!" ”

Widow Qin returned to her room in a daze and saw her daughter Yunni sitting on the edge of the bed crying. Suddenly angry came from it, stepped forward and grabbed her ears and scolded: "What good things have you done?!" How could the little prince help Xiuyun speak? You must have done something wrong! ”

Winnie cried, "I didn't ...... Mother, I really don't! The little prince wanted to eat egg custard, so I went to steam, but when I sent it over, Xiuyun sent bird's nest to the little prince to eat. also said that egg custard is a lowly food, not worthy of the little prince, so the little prince dropped the bowl. I really didn't do anything bad......"

Widow Qin knew that her daughter had always been honest and would never deceive herself, since she had done nothing wrong, there was only one possibility: "It must be Xiuyun's little slut who is making trouble!" Her mother used to be a **, dangling in front of the prince all day long. The princess was annoyed, so she promised her mother to her father, and drove them out of the palace, saying that sending them to run the property of the palace was just a good sound. If Mr. Wang hadn't been in a hurry to hire people, he wouldn't have brought their family back. Xiuyun came to the house as a girl, but she also regarded herself as a young lady! scolded here, and scolded Yunni again: "It's all your uselessness!" I said it a long time ago, the little prince has been taken care of by you since he was a child, and he has a relationship with you, as long as you serve well, the title of a side concubine will be indispensable in the future. You twist your hands and feet, always holding your sister's money, how many days has that little slut come? coaxed the little prince into a daze, if she really climbed the little prince in the future, where is there a foothold for our mother and son?! ”

Yunni's face turned red suddenly, and she said, "Mother, I'm eight years older than my brother, how can I ...... How can you be his side concubine? By the time he becomes an adult, I'll be old......"

Widow Qin disagreed: "Nonsense, that is, a few years of hard work, it won't be long before the little prince will find someone waiting in the house, at that time you are a good season to give birth, as long as you give birth to his eldest son before others, even if you are old in the future, he will not be able to treat you badly!" It's always right to listen to my mother! ”

Yun Ni wanted to speak again, but Widow Qin was already impatient: "No, I can't let that little slut continue to stay with the little prince, I have to talk to Mr. Wang, the little prince is still young, how can I make the fox dampen his body......"

Watching her mother go farther and farther, Yunni only felt full of sadness. She knows that her younger brother is no longer a younger brother, he is the little prince, the little master, but in her heart, it is still a younger brother! How could she be her brother's concubine? Why can't my mother listen to her?

Yun Ni remembered Wen Yi who had persuaded her again, and couldn't help but sigh. It's been more than two months, when will the eldest lady reply to her? Didn't you say that the eldest lady's aunt was going to come to Cannes to be an official?

I don't know how long it took, Yunni wiped away the tears on her face, slowly walked out of the door, and met a mother-in-law: "Qin Yunni? Why are you still here? Miss Xiuyun said, the little prince wants you to go home and think about it, you should leave quickly! Otherwise, she will see that you are still here, and we will be scolded again. ”

Yunni bit her lip and looked around, wanting to find Widow Qin, so the woman said, "Want to find your mother?" Don't think about it, your mother scolded Mr. Wang and went home. ”

Yunni felt another grievance in her heart: When her mother went home, why didn't she ask someone to inform her?

She turned her head and walked to the back of the house, through the long aisle, out of King Kang's mansion through the back door, and came to the back street of the palace. Most of the people living here are old servants of the palace, and the old residence of the Qin family is located here. Although it has fallen into disrepair, in addition to the mottled whitewashed walls, leaking roof tiles and weeds in the brick gaps, this square courtyard house also shows a bit of its former dignity. Ten years ago, the Qin family was still a decent family in King Kang's mansion, three generations in the same house, two generations of deacons, and her grandmother was once the companion of the princess of the previous generation, and the aunts were all big girls in the upper room, not to mention how decent they were. And at that time, the Xiuyun family was just a little servant in the gatehouse.

The room was dark and silent. Winnie turned around inside and out, but didn't find her mother's figure, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart. Didn't she say that her mother had already gone home? Where did it go again?

Just as she was confused, Yun Ni suddenly heard someone outside the door calling to herself: "Does Yun Ni'er of the Qin family live here?" She hurriedly went out to take a look, but it was Runxin, who had met at the Beijing suburb dock last time, and couldn't help but be happy: "It turned out to be my sister, but the eldest lady is here?!" ”

Runxin smiled: "Grandma has arrived, but I don't know where you live, I asked people everywhere to inquire about it, and I just received a letter from my hometown today, knowing that you live here now." Grandma didn't want to go out, so she asked me to come and see you, but if there is anything you need help with, if it is convenient for you, you might as well come and sit with us. ”

Yunni was happy at first, and then hesitated: "This ...... My mother is not at home...... I didn't dare to go out. Where does the eldest lady live? ”

"It's on Academy Street, and it's only a quarter of an hour's work to walk the avenue." Runxin said, "I just saw a person who seems to be your mother going to the end of the street, as if he was gathered with several families and didn't know what to discuss, and he couldn't come back for a while." It doesn't matter if you go out and walk around. Grandma misses you so much. ”

Yunni thought about it, but still shook her head: "I don't dare...... I'm home today, I have to cook, otherwise my mother will come back and see that there is no food to eat and she will scold me...... Why don't you tell me where the eldest lady lives, and when I am free tomorrow, I will go over to find her? ”

Runxin smiled and said: "I'm afraid you don't know the road, so let's do it, early tomorrow morning, I will take someone to drive to the street and wait, and you will come over when you have time and come to us for a day." The eldest grandmother said that she would like to invite you to dinner, and let you meet our uncle. ”

Yunni's face showed a little joy: "Okay, okay, I don't have to go on a business trip tomorrow, I must go!" ”
