Chapter 244: Close-fitting jade pendant
He suddenly smiled when he saw me, and smiled slightly: "Did you scare you just now?" ”
I looked up at him and thought for a moment and said, "It's a pity that you suddenly dropped the vase." ”
He frowned slightly: "It's a pity? The voice was full of questions.
"This vase is very expensive, and it can be sold for a good price outside, and it's a pity that you broke it like this." I spoke my heart and looked up at him.
He was stunned, he didn't expect that I would start from the perspective of value, probably in his eyes, there is no difference between breaking a vase and breaking a teacup.
He has been clothed and fed since he was a child, and has no concept of money.
But I'm different, although I have been practicing in the mountains since I was a child, I often hear my grandmother talk about the joys and sorrows of the world. After listening to it a lot, I summed it up, and almost all of it was related to silver.
But those who have enough money will have far fewer troubles than those who have no money.
Therefore, when I went to the princess for training, was framed by another maid, and broke a teacup, what I thought in my mind was, whether this teacup is expensive or not, can I afford to pay for it, and if I am sold, I can't afford to pay for it, but how can it be good.
Fortunately, the princess did not pursue the broken teacup, but only made me kneel for two hours.
Kneeling for two hours is nothing.
It's just that I missed lunch because of the punishment of kneeling, which makes me feel sorry.
Luckily, I had supper tonight, and I was happy again.
He shook his head: "It's just a vase, if it's broken, it's broken, where someone's life is important, if the princess takes advantage of the king's absence in the future to punish you again, you must remember to resist." ”
I was silent for a long time: "The princess wants to punish me, how can I resist?" ”
When he heard me say this, he groaned for a long time, then took out a small jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to me, saying, "You hang this around your neck, and if the princess punishes you, you can take out this jade pendant and show her, and she will naturally know." ”
I took the jade pendant, the whole body is green, there is a faint air flow in it, at a glance I know that it is the best jade, such a jade pendant, if it is opened, it is possible that there will be spiritual things inside.
In other words, it's a psychic treasure.
Not to mention in the mortal world, even with us, this is a rarity.
However, he did not hesitate to take it out and hand it to me, this friendship, if I accept it, is to bear this share of cause and effect. So, I hesitated, took it in my hand, looked at it over and over, touched and touched, and handed it to him.
He raised an eyebrow and looked at me with surprise on his face.
I'm very entangled, this cause and effect, can't be deeper. He saved me, I have to repay this kindness, and I have to repay this fruit, so that I can have a clear heart.
However, if in the process of repaying the favor, he is better for me than I am for him, the cause will become deeper and deeper, and invisibly, I will become more and more entangled with him, and in the end, it will be difficult to simply use my body to make a promise to end this cause and effect.
And the deeper the cause and effect will only be full of thorns on my path of pursuit.
So, it was wise for me to say no at first.
It's just that his puzzlement, his surprise, made me sway again.
If I don't answer at this moment, will it hurt his heart again, which is also what I don't want to see.
"Why did you give it back to me?" His voice rang out.
I hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke: "This jade pendant is a precious thing at a glance, I am a rough maid, in case I bump into it while working, then I can't afford to pay it, so ......"
When he heard me say this, he laughed and said, "You stand up." ”
At the moment, I'm sitting in a chair, waiting for supper.
Hearing him say that, I had to stand up.
He walked across from me, and I could see his neck just in time, and he was about a head taller than me.
He took the jade pendant I had just handed him back, raised his hand and hung the rope around my neck, and the momentary breath made me a little distracted.
I stiffened him to put the jade on my neck, and I didn't make a sound to stop it, which also made my fate with him deeper and deeper.
He saw my obedient appearance, smiled, patted my head like a reward, and said, "This jade pendant must be kept well, and at the critical moment, it can save your life." ”
I looked up and smiled at him, you have already saved me once, save me again, then what can I pay you back.
But I still nodded obediently: "Okay, I will take good care of it and let it be my talisman." ”
Pleased with the amulet, he turned to the table and sat down, pouring himself tea.
I touched the jade pendant on my neck, although it was cold to the hand, but I felt that after wearing it, the whole person was in a gentle atmosphere.
Ordinary people can't feel it, but I know that this should be called a shield.
In layman's terms, it is a kind of treasure that prevents some evil spirits and demons from colliding with the human body.
So, I became more and more uneasy, knowing this function, the importance of this jade pendant is undoubted, it is likely to be the symbol of the prince, after all, such a treasure is rare.
Simply, I also sat down on the chair and asked, "Lord Wang, is this jade pendant very important to you?" Is it a symbol of your status? ”
He turned his head to look at me and said, "You can teach me." ”
"Then such a valuable item, you give it to me, it's not appropriate, if it is known by others, I ......" I was interrupted by a wave of his hand before I could finish my sentence.
"I can give my stuff to whomever I want, and no one can question it. You can wear it with peace of mind, and when you are truly safe, you will return it to me. ”
Since he's said so, I don't want to be too fussy of him.
So, I poured myself a cup of tea and drank it with peace of mind.
Inside, just me and him, the atmosphere was nice and warm.
I sat at the same table with a prince of the dynasty and drank tea together.
In particular, I am still dressed as a maid, although I know that this is extremely non-compliant, and if I am seen by Mama Rong, I will probably whip me with wicker again.
The prince drinks tea, and I, as a maid, should stand behind me and serve carefully, how can I sit side by side with the prince like the master. It's just that he doesn't say anything, and I don't do anything that spoils the atmosphere.
Soon, there was a commotion outside, and if you listened carefully, it was the voice of the princess.
I was stunned, and hurriedly stood up and stood next to him, acting as a servant.
When he saw me like this, he sighed and said, "Can you fight for some breath, not like a mouse sees a cat." ”
I said, "The princess came late at night, I don't know why. ”
"Why else, it must be for Mama Rong, this king asked people to bring Mama Rong here, is it to drink and chat with her?"
"Then the princess is here now, aren't you?"
"Hehe, what this king wants to do, the princess is here, and it's okay? Just let her see your jade pendant, put it in the clothes first, don't be in a hurry to take it out. ”
I'm looking forward to it, will we have to fight later?
I'm on his side.
Outside, the princess's voice sounded: "What are you doing here?" I'm a princess! I'm going in to see the king! ”
The guard at the door said: "The princess is angry, the prince has ordered, no one is allowed to enter, except for Mama Rong." ”
The princess said: "Presumptuous! I'm the princess, you little guards, you dare to stop me, did you eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall? ”
The guard said: "The princess is angry, the prince's orders are military orders, and we dare not disobey." ”
"Okay, good, good, the princess is standing here, waiting for the prince to come out to see me!" The princess said hatefully, "This princess is standing here, it's always okay." ”
Then I heard Rong Mama's voice: "Princess, princess, you have to be the master of the old slave, the old slave did not abuse the maid, everything was done in accordance with the rules of the palace." ”
The princess said lightly: "Mama Rong, don't worry, since this princess ordered you to do it, no one else dares to punish you." ”
At this time, a guard came in to report: "Lord, the princess is also here, and his subordinates are not allowed to bring Mama Rong in." ”
He didn't look back and said, "You are taking the money from the palace." ”
The guard was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "My subordinates understand." ”
Soon, Mama Rong's voice sounded outside the gate: "Princess, princess...... Hmmm......"
I whispered to him, "Is that good?" Doesn't this deepen the conflict between you and the princess? It's just a trifle, there's no need to ......."
He interrupted me with a wave of his hand: "This king just wants to let the people outside understand that this king's people are not allowed to move anyone, not even a cat or a dog." ”
I was stunned, am I compared to cats and dogs?
It's so uplifting.
Mama Rong was brought in by the guards, and when she came in, she saw that there were only me and the prince in the house, so she immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
He didn't speak, so he let Mama Rong kowtow like this.
My eyes look at my nose, and my nose looks at my heart.
This has nothing to do with me, I'm just an introduction.
After kowtowing more than a dozen times, Mama Rong spoke: "Lord Wang, Lord Wang, the old slave is wrong, the old slave is wrong." ”
I thought I heard it wrong, she was still shouting outside just now, saying that she was wronged, why did she admit her mistake at this time? The princess could hear her.
The corners of his mouth curled and said, "Are you wrong?" ”
"The old slave's fault is that he shouldn't be strictly disciplined, and he shouldn't be taught according to the rules of the palace, it's all the old slave's fault."
He nodded: "It's good to know it's wrong." ”
Well? Again, I thought I had misheard.
What's the matter, Mama Rong is right again? It's just inexplicable.
He called the guard next to him and said, "Pull Mama Rong out and use the wicker for three hours, one minute less, it won't work." ”
It was an eye-opener.
This is half of Mama Rong's life.
And, on the princess's side, the princess ......
Sure enough, the princess's voice sounded outside: "What are you doing here, where are you going to take Mama Rong?" ”
"Lord, lord, come out, the concubine has something to say."
I looked at him, "Do you want to get out?" ”
He smiled faintly: "What's the hurry, wait for the supper to finish before going out." ”
