Chapter 512 Hand peeling lotus seeds
When Du Qinyue walked into the hall, He Suoyi had already asked Jin Yu to lay tea and snacks.
He Suoyi quietly watched Du Qinyue step forward, and then saluted himself.
"My sister has met the princess's sister."
He Suoyi didn't let Du Qinyue get up as soon as possible, but walked to Du Qinyue's side step by step, and then stretched out his hand to help Du Qinyue up, and said: "How did my sister remember to come to the palace today, didn't my sister only like to stay in the west hall in the past?" ”
Du Qinyue didn't hear what He Suoyi meant for a while, but she still replied: "Sister, I blame my sister a little bit for this, my sister first arrived in the East Palace a few days ago, and she is not familiar with the place, so it is naturally not good to move around." ”
He Suoyi heard Du Qinyue's words, and wanted to laugh in his heart, but after all, he still said with a little doubt: "Oh? Then why isn't my sister afraid that she is not familiar with life today, so she came directly to my sister? ”
Du Qinyue was a little embarrassed, and murmured: "Originally, my sister went to His Royal Highness, but His Highness said that if my sister has time, I will come to my sister's side to learn more things, so as not to understand something in the future, so my sister asked the maid to lead her sister here." ”
These words made He Suoyi's expression change, and then, He Suoyi asked: "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked his sister to come to the palace to learn something?" This palace thinks that this palace will, and there is nothing that my sister will do, and I will not gain anything if I want to come to my sister's trip. ”
Du Qinyue knew that He Suoyi wanted to send off guests, but she still pretended not to hear anything, and said: "What does my sister mean by this, there is no need to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs, but in the end, His Royal Highness the Prince's daily preferences, my sister knows a lot more than my sister." ”
He Suoyi really laughed at this time, and even with a hint of a smile between his eyebrows, he asked: "My sister doesn't understand what this means, and I bother my sister to say it again, can I?" ”
Du Qinyue looked very well-behaved, nodded softly and weakly, and said: "First, my sister means that my sister will tell my sister about His Royal Highness the Prince's daily habits and dietary preferences, so that it will be convenient for my sister and sister to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince together in the future." ”
He Suoyi's smile was put away instantly, and there was no coldness in his tone, and he even said with some relief: "It's good that my sister can have such an idea, then if this palace doesn't say it, it will seem a little childish, then please ask my sister to remember, His Royal Highness the Prince's favorite meal is lotus seed porridge, if there is a chance in the future, my sister can make it for His Royal Highness." ”
Du Qinyue was a little skeptical in her heart if He Suoyi was joking with herself, but on the surface, she didn't show any thoughts, and she still looked very grateful.
He Suoyi didn't want to bother to guess what Du Qinyue was thinking at this time, she was indeed a little sleepy at this time.
Jinyu has been paying attention to He Suoyi, looking at the expression on He Suoyi's face at this time, she stepped forward and said to Du Qinyue: "Concubine Niangniang, my princess Niangniang has the habit of taking a lunch break since she was not in good health, and the time is coming soon, I don't know if there are other things to do with Concubine Niangniang?" ”
Du Qinyue was very dissatisfied with Jin Yu coming out to interrupt her, but Jin Yu also said that He Suoyi has always had the habit of taking a nap since he was not in good health, and it is not good for him to continue to stay here.
After thinking about it, Du Qinyue said: "There is nothing to do, so in this case, the palace will go back to the west side hall first, and then come to my sister if I have time in the future." ”
He Suoyi wished that Du Qinyue would leave at this time, but he couldn't be too direct, so he said that he wanted to stay: "This palace can also rest later, if my sister doesn't want to leave, just stay for a while." ”
Du Qinyue naturally knew that this was a pretext for He Zhi, but what could he do if he knew, if he let the prince know that he had delayed He Zhi's rest by staying here, then the prince would definitely have a lot of criticism about himself.
So Du Qinyue said: "My sister is naturally chatting with my sister for a few words, and I can't delay my sister's rest because of my sister's selfishness, if I let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know, my sister will suffer." ”
Du Qinyue's words were a bit excessive, just a few more words, who would have nothing to do and tell the prince about this, didn't that mean that Lu Ayi would sue in front of the prince?
Seeing that Zijin wanted to say something, He Suoyi hurriedly rushed in front of Zijin and said: "What does my sister mean by this, Bengong is a little incomprehensible. ”
Du Qinyue looked very innocent, blinked, and then said: "Sister, what do you mean by this, my sister is just envious of the good relationship between my sister and His Royal Highness, and I am afraid that His Highness will feel sorry for my sister, and my sister asked this as if her sister was plotting against her." ”
Speaking of which, He Suoyi didn't know what to say, fortunately, Du Qinyue didn't mean to make a big deal out of it, looking at He Suoyi's face, Du Qinyue said: "Then sister, take a good rest, my sister will go back first, and my sister will come to my sister again when I have time in the future." ”
He Suoyi looked very sleepy, and waved his hand weakly.
Seeing this, Du Qinyue also walked out.
After Du Qinyue left, several people in the East Side Hall breathed a sigh of relief, especially Zijin, who said with a very exaggerated expression: "Finally left, she just stood there, I looked at it with disgust." ”
Although Jinyu felt a little inappropriate when she heard this, she didn't speak, so she couldn't say anything.
As a result, who knows what to do in the next moment, he spoke, and said: "Zijin, you just talk about this on weekdays, and now she has just left, if your words are heard by someone with a heart, it is estimated that there will be a lot of discussion." ”
Hearing He Suoyi's words, although Zijin was still a little unhappy, he didn't say anything after all.
And after He Suoyi finished speaking, he asked Jinyu to accompany him and went to the inner hall to rest together.
Jin Yu looked at Zijin's appearance and knew that she was unwilling, but this matter was indeed a little out of proportion for Zijin, so Jin Yu didn't think about helping Zijin intercede.
On the way back to the west side hall, Du Qinyue said to Xiu'er: "See, today's trip has made the palace see a lot of things clearly, at least at this time, the prince still has no palace in his heart." ”
Xiu'er knew what Du Qinyue meant when she said this, but she didn't want to say what Du Qinyue meant, so she didn't say anything.
Du Qinyue didn't expect to hear anything from Xiu'er's mouth, so she continued to take care of herself: "Actually, in this East Palace, the palace is struggling now, and you must have seen what happened in the palace of the crown princess, even the palace maids around the crown princess dared to interrupt the words of the palace at will. ”
Xiu'er disagreed with Du Qinyue's words in her heart, after all, it is common for the crown princess to be unwell and need to rest now, and almost everyone in the East Palace knows that it is not the right time for her own mother to go, so how can she complain about other people's palace maids.
But what to think in my heart is one thing, if these words are said, it is another matter, after all, Du Qinyue is now his master, and it is obvious that he has been with Du Qinyue for a longer time, and he still has a little understanding of Du Qinyue's temper, and he is tactful, but he is definitely not a kind-hearted person, so it is better not to say something else.
Du Qinyue obviously didn't know what Xiu'er was thinking when she was standing beside her, otherwise she would definitely be angry, because no matter what she said, Xiu'er followed her into the palace from the mansion, and there seemed to be only one credible person around Xiu'er.
After returning to the West Side Palace, Du Qinyue asked Xiu'er to find lotus seeds, and Xiu'er didn't ask why she was looking for them now, even if she heard from He Suoyi that Shen Huo likes lotus seed porridge, but this matter is okay slowly, why be in such a hurry.
After Xiu'er found the lotus seeds, she was going to peel them by herself, but Du Qinyue stopped her, Xiu'er didn't know what Du Qinyue meant, and asked with some doubts: "Niangniang, what are you?" ”
Du Qinyue smiled faintly and said, "Naturally, the palace will do it himself, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can see the heart of the palace." ”
Even after saying this, Xiu'er still didn't understand, and continued to ask: "But even so, can't you just peel a few at random, why bother to do it all yourself?" ”
Du Qinyue listened to Xiu'er's words and knew that Xiu'er didn't want to hurt her hands, so she softened her tone and said: "If this palace is not like this, the superficial kung fu is still really hard, how can a person like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who lives in intrigue not see it, so it will be self-defeating." ”
After listening to Du Qinyue's words, Xiu'er started to peel it with Du Qinyue, Du Qinyue glanced at Xiu'er with some doubts, Xiu'er smiled at Du Qinyue and said: "In this way, the slave and the maid have a deep relationship with the mother and the master. ”
Du Qinyue ignored it.
After the two of them finished peeling the lotus seeds, Xiu'er took the lotus seeds down to cook porridge, and Du Qinyue, she only needed to have those scars on her hands.
After the lotus seed porridge was boiled, Du Qinyue instructed Xiu'er to send it to Shen Huo, Xiu'er hesitated for a moment, and still asked: "Niangniang, since you have put so much effort into it, why don't you send it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yourself, just let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince see your hand." ”
Du Qinyue knew that Xiu'er was thinking about herself, but Xiu'er still thought about it simply, these wounds on her hands were indeed for the prince to see, but now was not the time.
Xiu'er saw that Du Qinyue didn't speak, so she didn't ask, just packed the bowl of porridge in a food box and walked to the main hall.
When the porridge was delivered to Shen Huo, it was still warm, and Shen Huo had just eaten, so the porridge was placed there.
After Xiu'er went back, she told Du Qinyue that Shen Huo didn't drink porridge, but what she didn't expect was that Du Qinyue was not disappointed, and even smiled.
In the end, Du Qinyue said: "It's good that he didn't drink it, so that he will feel more guilty when he knows it in the future." ”
Xiu'er seemed to understand, but she was a little unsure.
