Chapter 023: Always choose a side

Xue Lengyu panicked, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Concubine Die, the slave maid entered the mansion, just because the family was poor, and she couldn't bear to see her father and mother working all day long, so she wanted to earn some money to subsidize the family." There is absolutely no desire to climb high. The slave knows that her status is low, and it is already a great blessing to be a maid in Fengyuan, and please don't misunderstand. ”

Concubine Die smiled more kindly, and said, "Sit down, I didn't say anything, I see that you are scared." I'm the favorite for a smart and self-aware girl like you. Look at you and filial piety, Zixue. Reward. ”

"Yes." Zixue listened, took out a hairpin that had already been prepared from her arms, and handed it to Xue Lengyu: "No, Niangniang will reward you." ”

Xue Lengyu didn't dare to answer: "No merit is not accepted, how dare the slave and maid ask for the reward of the mother." ”

The side concubine is more stingy than the princess, Xue Lengyu said in her heart, the reward will be given directly to the money, give such a thing that I don't know whether it is gold or silver, and take it to the pawnshop, and give it another layer of skin.

Xue Lengyu was actually not so fascinated by money, although she is not a wealthy family in modern times, but at least she has a well-off life and no worries about food and clothing. Now that he has suddenly come to the life of a poor middle peasant, he only thinks about how to make everyone live a good life.

"Take it," said Concubine Die, "don't be afraid. But in the palace, it's not a bad thing to be timid. ”

"Yes, thank you for the reward." Xue Lengyu saw that it seemed that this was also something that couldn't be pushed away, so he simply took it. Wait for Butterfly to cut to the topic.

Concubine Die said slowly: "Originally, I wanted to call you to have a lunch together, but seeing that you are restrained, it is not difficult for you." I have a few words for you, and I hope you will think carefully about it yourself. ”

"Mother, please command." Xue Lengyu said busily.

Concubine Die said: "You just entered the palace, and you were sent from your sister's courtyard, there are many things that you may not understand." But you should know that whoever can get the heart of the prince is the master of this backyard. I think you're an interesting girl, I can't help but mention you, you remember your identity now, which is good, even if you are favored by the prince in the future, you must remember your identity. It is impossible for the prince to be exclusive to any woman, as long as you continue to be so honest, the prince will not treat you badly, and I will not treat you badly. ”

"Yes." Xue Lengyu said: "The slave knows. ”

"Yes." Concubine Butterfly waved her hand: "Okay, that's all I have to say, you can step down." ”

"Yes." Xue Lengyu was blessed again: "The slave and maid retired." ”

After Xue Lengyu left, Concubine Die said, "Zixue, what do you think, how is this girl?" ”

"Back to my mother." Zixue said: "The slave can't see through it. ”

"I can't see through it either." Concubine Die said slowly: "It seems that she is really honest and her words are also very sincere, as if she really just wants to be a maid in Fengyuan." But ......"

Zixue continued: "But her fear is not like real fear. Just like her performance in front of the prince this morning, it makes people feel indescribable. ”

Concubine Die thought about it again, and said: "In short, I don't believe that there are people who don't want to fly on the branches, Concubine Li estimates that she won't be able to recover in a year and a half." My main opponent now is still the princess, and I don't have to pay too much attention to the rest. However, it should not be overlooked. ”

"Yes." Zixue said: "The slave will pay attention." ”

Xue Lengyu walked back to Fengyuan unhurriedly. Playing with the hairpin rewarded by Concubine Die, he estimated how much this thing could be worth. I also know that no matter how much it is worth, if you take someone's money, you have to eliminate disasters for others.

Disaster mitigation? Xue Lengyu smiled bitterly, his own disaster, I don't know when it will come.

When he arrived at the gate of Fengyuan, Xue Lengyu looked at it casually, but his heart tightened suddenly.

Standing at the gate of Fengyuan, it was not who Lan'er was.

At that moment, Xue Lengyu really had the urge to turn around and run, thinking that the things he had done in the morning, including the things he was invited by Concubine Die, had already reached the ears of the princess, so the princess couldn't sit still, afraid that the person she sent with wishful thinking would be pulled away by her biggest opponent in just such a moment.

Putting away the hairpin, Xue Lengyu helplessly squeezed out a smile and greeted Lan'er.

Lan'er was looking forward to the direction of Concubine Die's courtyard, her neck was sore, and it was easy to see Xue Lengyu coming back, and she immediately smiled and walked over quickly.

"Lan'er." Xue Lengyu asked knowingly, "Why did you come to Fengyuan?" Is there something wrong? ”

"What's the matter with me?" Lan'er said quickly: "It's the princess who wants to see you." ”

"The princess wants to see me? There is a ......" Before Xue Lengyu finished speaking, he was pulled by Lan'er and walked towards the Spring Garden.

"Don't ask so much." Lan'er chattered: "The princess naturally has something to do with you." By the way, I heard that you made a mistake this morning, and the prince not only didn't punish you, but also rewarded you with breakfast? ”

"I ......," Xue Lengyu was about to explain.

Lan'er said to herself, unable to hide her joy in her eyes: "Our princess's vision is good, the first time I see you, I know that the prince must like it." Sure enough, you have only been in Fengyuan for one day, and the prince treats you differently than others. You can't cross the river and tear down the bridge, you ...... ungrateful."

Where is this, Xue Lengyu saw that it was not clear, so he simply shut up. The entire backyard of the palace thinks that the prince is interesting to him, okay, for the sake of the prince's handsomeness, let's misunderstand it. As long as you know, hey, the prince also knows.

Xue Lengyu always firmly believed that Li Mu's eyes on himself were by no means the eyes he liked, but provocative and teasing. Of course, this is not necessarily directed at yourself, it is completely unnecessary. The person Li Mu targeted may be the princess who sent him.

Thinking of this, Xue Lengyu's eyes suddenly lit up, if Li Mu still had affection for the princess, she would know what to do to protect herself.

Having made up her mind in her heart, Xue Lengyu suddenly brightened up, and felt that it didn't seem to be a painful thing to see the princess. Instead, he sped up his pace, leaving Lan'er behind slightly.

"Leng Yu, you wait." Lan'er forgot herself about herself, and when she came back to her senses, she saw that Xue Lengyu had surpassed her by several steps, and hurriedly quickened her pace to catch up, and said strangely: "What are you doing walking so fast?" ”

Xue Lengyu smiled, laughing so much that Lan'er lost her mind for a while: "I also have something to tell the princess, something very important." ”

Lan'er was confused by Xue Lengyu's mutation, but she immediately understood herself, and said with a smile: "Leng Yu, have you finally figured it out?" That's it, if you can get the favor of the prince, you will fly on the branches to be a phoenix, and you will no longer have to be a maid, and your father and mother will be able to live a good life. ”

Xue Lengyu didn't want to explain, just smiled and nodded. She now knows that in this era when it is a matter of course to be attached to a man, she doesn't want to be a monster.
