Li Yingyue, as a concubine, does have a chance to become the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty with outstanding ability.

But normally, the emperor will still give priority to the prince over the princess.

Because of this, after waking up, she was not surprised to hear that the imperial brother had ascended the throne as the new emperor.

Although there was some loss, it was also quickly accepted.

"I don't know if the royal brother has a restrained temperament after he ascends the throne, if he is as impatient as ever, I am afraid it will cause turmoil"

Thinking of this, Li Yingyue couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Side.

When Tao'er heard her answer, she was stunned at first, and then seemed to realize something, and her face showed a thoughtful look.

I thought in my heart, the old man dislikes Madame, could it be that he thinks that Madame is a fine work sent by Zhou Guo?

Thinking of Madame's ideals, identity, words and deeds, the more Tao'er thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible.

The delicate little face showed a fleeting look.

"What do you think?"

Li Yingyue noticed Tao'er's expression, her willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she asked softly.

"The slave is thinking"

"The lord is cold to you, maybe that's the reason."

Tao'er raised her eyes to look at Li Yingyue, hesitated, and gave an ambiguous answer.

Li Yingyue was slightly stunned, a little didn't understand what she meant, and after thinking for a while, she frowned and asked:

"What do you mean?"

Tao'er said: "As far as the slave maid knows, over the years, the relationship between the imperial court and the Zhou State has been extremely poor, and the year before last, the Zhou State also sent troops to capture Yongzhou, which is my great Qian. ”

She only mentioned what happened a year ago, and did not tell Li Yinyue that now Yongzhou has been regained by the imperial court.

Not only that, but the imperial court also sent an army to attack the Zhou state in the name of King Qin.

At present, Jiannan Dao has been captured, and the 200,000 troops of the Zhou State are in the stage of confrontation.

"So, he vented his resentment against Zhou Guo on me?"

"That's not right!"

"According to Tao'er, the imperial brother's capture of Yongzhou was the year before last, and my marriage into the Qianguo was last year, if he hated the Zhou State to the core, he should not agree to this marriage."

"Thinking about it this way, maybe I did something after marrying into the Xiangguo Mansion that caused him to have a misunderstanding, or maybe it wasn't a misunderstanding at all."

At this moment, Li Yinyue's thinking fell into confusion, and her head ached faintly.

She couldn't help but reach out to support her forehead, her willow eyebrows frowned, and her body shook slightly, as if she was about to fall to the ground in the next second.

"Madame"

Seeing this, Tao'er showed a panicked look on her face, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Yingyue.

A moment later.

Li Yingyue felt that the pain in her brain had eased a little, raised her eyes to look at Tao'er, and said softly:

"What you mean is that Fang Xiu thinks that I have other intentions for marrying into the Xiangguo Mansion, so he is so cold to me, and he always remains vigilant, and he can't even send a letter back to the Zhou Kingdom."

Tao'er shook her head busily and whispered, "That's not what the slave meant. ”

Whether it means that or not.

That's just the way it is.

Li Yingyue sat on the stone bench, looking at the peony flowers that were blooming not far away, her expression was dazed.

If things were really as she imagined, Fang Xiu seemed to be forgivable for treating her like this.

After all, he is the prime minister of a country, so it is always wrong to be cautious.

Seeing Li Yingyue's expression, Tao'er leaned forward and whispered, "Madam, the slave maid thinks that no matter what happened in the past, you have forgotten it, so let it disperse with the wind......

The slave can feel that the master's attitude towards you has eased today, and even promised to let you leave after five years, as long as you strike while the iron is hot and get closer to the master, the master may not accept you. ”

Listening to this bitter persuasion, Li Yingyue couldn't help but raise her eyes and glance at Tao'er, her expression was a little strange.

Tao'er didn't notice it, still immersed in her own fantasies, and said to herself:

"You are the wife of the old man Ming Media, when you got married, the newspapers of all countries reported in the headlines, this is a matter of telling the world, and it can no longer be changed.

In that case, why not accept it calmly, mend the relationship with the master, and get back together?

What's more, you also like the master, even if you don't like the master, the relationship with the master is good, at least you will not be confined in this small Xiangguo Mansion in the future, you can go wherever you want, how good

Moreover, you coaxed the master to be happy, maybe the master promised you to let you go in advance? ”

Tao'er talked for a long time, until her mouth was dry, and she found that Li Invitationyue was looking at her with a strange expression.

"Madame, slave maid, this is all for your good."

Peach swallowed, shrunk her head, and whispered.

Li Yingyue glanced at her up and down, and said, "From the day I woke up, you tried every means to persuade me to curry favor with Fang Xiu, and there should always be a reason for doing so." ”

When Tao'er heard this, she opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but when she met Li Yingyue's sharp eyes, she was deflated, slowly lowered her little head, and whispered: "The slave is indeed selfish." ”

Li Yingyue's eyes showed a look of curiosity, and said, "Let's hear it." ”

Peach explains:

"The slave maid is the personal maid of the lady, when she used to serve the lady, she went to receive charcoal, food and clothing, and was often coldly looked down upon by others, although they did not bully the slave and maid, but the slave and maid still felt uncomfortable

One day the lady can reconcile with the master, and the status of the slave and maid in the house will also rise, and when the time comes, other maids will have to call out to the slave and maid when they see the slave and maid, and the slave and maid will feel happy when they think about it. ”

Tao'er has signed a deed of sale with Xiangguofu since she was a child, although she is an old man in the house, she is not very old, and she has just reached the end of her life.

Girls of this age, even if they are used to serving others, occasionally have some competitive thoughts with little girls of the same age, which is also human nature.

When Li Yingyue heard this, she was silent for a while, felt that it was reasonable, and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Tao'er nodded lightly and continued: "What's more, the slave maid hopes that Mrs. can get back together with the master from the bottom of her heart, and others think that Madame's temperament is cold, like a piece of ice.

The slave maid served by the lady's side, but she understood that the lady was cold on the outside, but she was actually hot in her heart, and the master was a very gentle person, and he treated the little maids in the house like a spring breeze.

It's even more different to treat your sweetheart, Mrs. may not know, there is a beautiful sister in the house, and a good personality, serving by the master's side, the lord is so intimate to her on weekdays, more desirable than the description in the book.

The slave sometimes thinks that if the lady can get back together with the master, the master will definitely treat the lady like this.

Madame's previous temperament would never think of pleasing the master, even if she pretended, but now that Madame has forgotten the events of the past few years, her temperament has softened a little."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Yinyue.

"Now I don't want to please him."

Li Yinyue raised her head slightly, her delicate melon seed face had no expression, and her tone was calm.

She is the eldest princess of the Zhou Kingdom, and she has been a star since she was a child, how could she put down her body to please another person.

When Tao'er heard this, she thought about it and said cautiously: "The slave knows that the lady will not please the master, but she can pretend to be in order to leave the Xiangguo Mansion as soon as possible." ”

Li Yingyue glanced at her and said, "If I leave Xiangguo Mansion, won't you still be looked down upon." ”

Tao'er whispered: "The slave maid is only coldly looked upon because she served her wife." ”

“”

Li Yingyue was speechless for a while.

After a long silence, he looked at her and asked, "Is there any other reason?" ”

Tao'er secretly glanced at Li Yingyue, and said in a low voice: "What's more, the reason why Madam has become what she is now has something to do with the slave maid."

Therefore, the slave maid wants to try her best to compensate the lady, but the slave and the maid are subordinates, and they can't help the lady, so they can only persuade the lady to make the right choice. ”

"Currying favor with Fang Xiu is the right choice? What a reason! ”

Li Yingyue's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and her red lips opened slightly, wanting to say something.

Before he could speak, he heard Tao'er say:

"Finally, if the lady can really get back together with the master, the slave maid, as the lady's personal maid, may have a chance."

Speaking of this, a flush appeared on her face, and she slowly lowered her head, looking shy and timid, unable to continue.

Li Yingyue listened, but she was at a loss, raised her eyes and glanced at her, and asked puzzledly, "What is the chance?" ”

"Madame, why doesn't you even know this?"

Thinking so, Tao'er suddenly realized that the current lady looked like she was already in her prime, but her heart was just in time.

There are many things that the female officials in the palace have not yet been taught, and they don't know as much as her little maid, which is also human nature.

Her pretty face was crimson, and she looked around and saw that no one was coming, so she came to Li Yingyue's approach, and said in a low voice: "When the round house, if the lady can't bear it, the slave maid, as the lady's personal maid, has the opportunity to share the worries for the lady."

Can't afford it?

Sharing worries?

Tao'er's explanation made Li Yingyue even more dazed, and she didn't understand what this sentence meant.

"Madame, don't you understand?"

Tao'er looked at Li Yingyue with a somewhat surprised expression.

Although she is not very old, she often mentions these things when the maids get together to chat on weekdays.

Even if Madame is in her prime, she should not be ignorant.

"Understand what?"

Li Yingyue raised her eyes to look at Tao'er, and her delicate melon seed face showed a blank look.

She has read poetry and books since she was a child, and naturally knows that the round house is the etiquette when getting married.

It's just that she doesn't understand, what does this have to do with being unable to bear it?

When Tao'er saw this scene, she was stunned, and finally realized that her wife really didn't know anything about this aspect.

Her delicate little face showed excitement, leaned in, lowered her voice, and relayed what she heard from others to Li Yingyue.

After listening to it for a while, Li Yingyue's delicate melon seed face rose a flush, moved to the side, kept a distance from her, and whispered: "Don't tell me this, I'm not interested." ”

Tao'er said: "It's not something that I don't feel interested in, Madame has to know sooner or later."

"I don't want to know."

Li Yingyue blushed, and her voice seemed to have no emotional fluctuations.

When Tao'er saw this, she immediately understood that Madame was pretending to be reserved.

When she first heard these things, she was like this, she said, don't tell me, I don't want to know, pretending to do my own thing, in fact, I feel like a cat scratching in my heart, curious about the so-called round house, what is going on.

"Oh, madam, you're not a young girl anymore, I don't know how this kind of thing can be done."

Tao'er looked bitter, approached Li Yinyue, and said in a low voice: "Besides, on the day you got married, you and the master were already like this, so what do you know." ”

When Li Yingyue heard this, a look of shame appeared in her eyes, her eyes widened, she glared at Tao'er, and said coldly: "You talk nonsense again, see if I don't throw you out of Xiangguo's Mansion!" ”

It was the first time for Tao'er to see her lady angry, she shrunk her neck, and didn't dare to say anything more.

But.

In the next second, she seemed to think of something, stood up suddenly, looked at Li Yingyue, and said-for-tat:

"If the lady is still the same as before, and the master is a stranger, then she can't control the slave and maid, the slave and the maid are the subordinates of the Xiangguo Mansion, not the subordinates of the lady!

The slave and maid serve the lady's food, clothing, and daily life, but they don't have to obey the lady's orders!

Madam, you have no reason, no qualifications, and no ability to drive the slave out of the Xiangguo Mansion! ”

These words are loud and well-founded.

When Li Yingyue heard this, she was slightly stunned, and then her eyes showed a touch of annoyance.

She is the princess of the Zhou Kingdom, from childhood to adulthood, how can anyone dare to be so presumptuous to her.

Even if it is Peach, or even Qing'er, if you dare to commit such a crime, you will be punished!

Think so.

She stretched out her slender finger and pointed at Peach, wanting to punish her for thinking about it.

It's just that before the words came out, she realized that she was not the princess of Zhou now, but a prisoner!

It is extremely rare for Peach to be by her side and serve her wholeheartedly.

Even if one day, Tao'er changed her appearance, gave her cold eyes all day long, and fed her leftovers, she had no choice.

As Tao'er said, as long as her relationship with Fang Xiu is not alleviated, she is just a prisoner after all, with no qualifications, no ability, and no reason to punish the jailer guarding her!

That's it.

Li Yingyue's good-looking phoenix eyes flashed a trace of struggle, regained her composure, sat on the stone bench, and said nothing.

Seeing this, Tao'er hurriedly came up, lowered her head, and obediently admitted her mistake.

"Madam, the slave just wants you to act, it's not disrespectful to you, the slave knows that it's wrong, and the slave won't do it again in the future."

The words fell, and the courtyard fell silent.

The bright sunlight passed through the gaps between the leaves, through the morning fog, and sprinkled on Li Yinyue's body one by one, reflecting her more and more radiance.

Like a fairy in the world, beautiful and incomprehensible.

"Husband, ma'am"

Seeing that Li Yingyue didn't speak, Tao'er's face showed a panicked look, and she opened her mouth to say something.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw that the lady in front of him suddenly raised her head, and her delicate face showed a warm smile, like a spring breeze, soothing people's hearts.

It has been half a year since she came to Li Yinyue's side, and it was the first time for Tao'er to see her lady with such a gentle smile, and she was stunned for a while, not knowing what to say.

At this time, Li Inviteyue's full and mellow voice slowly sounded.

"You're right."

"Ever since I came to Xiangguofu, I have become a finch in a cage, and if I want to be free, I can only ask for alms from my master."

"In this case, it is better to take the initiative and maybe achieve unexpected results."

Speaking of which, it came to an abrupt end.

The good-looking phoenix eyes showed a touch of firmness, and silently warned herself.

Easing the relationship with Fang Xiu is not to please you, let alone let go of your self-esteem.

All this is just a means to freedom!

As long as she can leave Xiangguo's Mansion and return to Zhou, she will be the eldest princess of Zhou, and sooner or later, she will be able to bring Fang Xiu to him cold, and she will return it all!
