Chapter 20: I am a personal maid
When I looked up, it turned out to be Yao Yingxue standing at the door, she seemed to be a little surprised when she saw the two of us at first glance, with a shocked expression on her face, but she still walked in immediately: "The concubine is here to meet the Third Highness." ā
"Yingxue, what are you doing here?"
"The concubine is here to find Qingying."
"She?"
Pei Yuanhao frowned slightly, turned his head to look at me, and I was also surprised in my heart, Yao Yingxue came to me? Do what?
"What are you looking for her?"
Yao Yingxue smiled slightly, and said softly: "Didn't Your Highness order the Internal Affairs Office to send a palace maid to the concubine, the concubine thought about it, if you send a new hand, it will inevitably make a mistake, and the concubine will be inconvenient, just afraid of causing trouble to His Highness, so the concubine thinks, let Qingying be the concubine's personal maid." ā
As soon as I said this, I was already stunned.
Let me be her personal maid?!
What was Yao Yingxue thinking? She doesn't like me, and even dislikes me, this is already an open secret in the entire court, after I entered the palace, she has been embarrassing me and Ning Yan everywhere, after Ning Yan became Pei Yuanhao's woman, she deliberately made things difficult for me, in addition to assigning me to this hidden pavilion that does not see the light of day, the humiliation on weekdays is even more difficult to prevent.
But now, she still wants me to be her personal maid?
"She?" Pei Yuanhao also seemed to be a little surprised, but Yao Yingxue walked over, held my hands and said, "Qingying, you and I are good sisters, and now that you are by my side, we can also take care of each other." You're going to have to promise me. ā
"Iā"
I subconsciously wanted to say no, but before the words came out, I suddenly saw Pei Yuanhao.
From the palace maid of the Inner Pavilion to the personal maid of the prince's wife, this is a kind of promotion in the eyes of outsiders, no one will refuse, if I refuse, it will inevitably annoy Yao Yingxue, she is now Pei Yuanhao's favored wife, if-
I bit my lower lip and reluctantly said, "I'm afraid that Qingying will be clumsy and will make Mrs. angry." ā
"Then you promised me!"
She laughed all of a sudden, her face was like a spring flower, and she turned her head to Pei Yuanhao and said, "Your Highness, the concubine will let Qingying go to Shangyang Palace, please ask Your Highness for permission." ā
Pei Yuanhao kept looking at it coldly, but at this time, he was only faint and expressionless, and said: "This is your woman's business, and this palace doesn't want to ask." ā
After saying that, he turned around and walked away without looking back.
Watching his back disappear into the doorway, disappearing into the sunlight, for some reason, I felt as if even the sunlight had disappeared.
A chill came from Yao Yingxue's hand holding my wrist.
I left the court and went to Shangyang Palace in the deep twilight of the evening.
As soon as I came out of the inner palace, I saw a majestic palace towering in front of me in the twilight, and there was also an invisible pressure in the mist, as if its owner, always high above, always made people feel uneasy.
That is Pei Yuanhao's Shangyang Palace.
After I was led by my aunt here to bathe and change clothes, I walked alone to the exquisite courtyard belonging to Yao Yingxue, and when I pushed the door, I saw her sitting upright in front of the dresser to remove her makeup. ā
I walked behind her, and as soon as I looked up, I saw a mysterious smile on her beautiful face in the bronze mirror, looking at me coldly.
