Chapter 4: Two Golden Flowers
Yan Tao woke up in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the pink beaded curtains that had been so familiar for two months, swaying gently in the morning breeze.
"Miss, you're awake." The maid Yuzhu came in with a basin.
"How did I get back?" Yan Tao asked.
"You accidentally fell into a ditch and fell unconscious in the mountain behind Xiangguo Temple, I heard that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who personally sent you back."
Yuzhu only said that he knew.
When everyone asked why Yan Tao left the temple late at night to go to the back mountain, Yuzhu only answered what he knew.
"Miss is hungry, so she secretly went out to eat roast chicken." She replied.
As for how strange the faces of the prime minister and those monks became after hearing this, Yuzhu couldn't control it.
Yan Tao let out a long sigh.
She got up to change her clothes and wash her face.
Xiao Cheng treats her as if she were her own, and all the food and clothing are the best even in the wealthy family, just like now, the high-grade facial cream she uses to wash her face is made of almonds, honey, musk, etc., which is a treatment that ordinary people can't enjoy.
Yan Tao knew that this was all because Prime Minister Xiao Cheng was going to send her to the tiger's den in the future and let her go on a deadly mission of nine deaths and a lifetime, and the old guy was ashamed in his heart, so he made these amends.
She lightly touched the white cloth wrapped around her forehead.
It hurts very really.
Yan Tao pursed her lips and asked, "What about Trixie?" Where did she go again. ”
Yuzhu paused in the movement of his hand and replied, "Xu is at Miss Biao's." ”
"Oh."
Yan Tao didn't care very much, and silently pulled her red sandalwood inlaid jade jewelry box.
Yuzhu said that Miss Cousin, whose name is Xiangdairou, is a relative of the Prime Minister's wife, and she was brought into the Prime Minister's Mansion at the age of thirteen, which is the same age as Yantao.
Because her face is somewhat similar to that of the deceased Prime Minister's wife, Xiang Dairou's treatment in the Prime Minister's Mansion is not bad, and everyone has to respectfully call Miss Biao when they see her, and they definitely dare not treat her as an orphan girl under the fence.
Prime Minister Xiao has no daughter.
Yan Tao and Xiang Dairou are the only two golden flowers in the prime minister's house, one is a righteous daughter and the other is a cousin, and it is inevitable that there will be some comparisons in ordinary times.
Yan Tao's other personal maid, Cuixi, may dislike her master for not being powerful enough, so she likes to run to Miss Biao to brush her sense of existence in three days.
Yuzhu was quite dissatisfied with this.
She was indifferent, so she just reminded coldly: "Miss, if you don't beat Tricy well, I'm afraid that girl will betray you sooner or later." ”
"Don't worry about her, accompany me to my father-in-law first."
Yan Tao mainly wanted to knock on the side to see if the case of the Nine Princes had caused a splash.
The Ninth Prince is the younger brother of the current saint, the youngest son of the former emperor, even if he is only missing for one night, it should attract a lot of attention.
She finally chose a begonia bead flower to shake.
Comb your hair into a bun and go out with a clang.
"By the way, Yuzhu, you can help me change those pink bead curtains on the bed, I always think it looks contrived." Yan Tao suddenly remembered and said.
Yuzhu, who was following behind, was stunned, and then nodded with his eyebrows raised.
Yan Tao came to the front room.
Prime Minister Xiao Cheng is almost fifty years old this year, his body is still very healthy, his temperament is calm, and his mind is meticulous.
He saw Yan Tao coming in, and said with a smile: "Look, the biggest gluttonous cat in our house is here." ”
The man standing next to him covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Say hello to my father-in-law."
Yan Tao was blessed, her dark eyes rolled, and she followed the laughter to catch a glimpse of Xiang Dairou standing beside Prime Minister Xiao Cheng.
Hiss.
This one is there, too.
