Chapter 33: The Uninvited Guest

Two days after sending Xu Mengying away, the huge palace has been in a quiet and peaceful state.

Although Jiang Fenghao is known as a waste material, he is not doing his job all the year round, but he is forced to be friendly and humble before his dead ghost father dies, and he is still very diligent and goes to the early dynasty every day before dawn to 'assist' the emperor's nephew who has just taken office.

As for He Xiaoqiao, because no one cares about him and he doesn't have to worry about having no food, he has now become a complete rice worm.

Every day, turning over the ground and planting vegetables, fishing and teasing the puppy, and then it is time to eat and drink, and if there is nothing to do, run around the street to make a familiar face, except for going into the kitchen to open a small stove for Jiang Fenghao to cook, the small life is all kinds of comfortable and comfortable.

On this day, Jiang Fenghao went to the court and didn't come back, He Xiaoqiao just got up not long ago, and when he saw that the weather was good, he thought about going to the garden to run a lap and exercise his body to lose weight, but he changed his clothes, and he was stopped not long after he walked out of the courtyard gate.

"Hey, that village girl over there!"

Village...... Nun?!

He Xiaoqiao, who was about to step out of the moon cave door, paused, then subconsciously lowered his head to examine his clothes, then pulled up the corner of his skirt to look at his shoes, and then sighed silently in his heart - good eyesight, he actually saw through her simple local atmosphere wrapped in a pseudo-petty bourgeois shell at a glance, she is really a master!

"Hey, call you! Don't play dead, come over to me! There was a hint of impatience in the young woman's voice, and she seemed to be very unhappy that He Xiaoqiao dared to be so ignorant.

Turning his head to look left and right, to make sure that there was no other 'village girl' standing on the same horizon as him, He Xiaoqiao pulled the thick braid tied out to facilitate the activity, pointed the tip of his nose with his hand, and asked hesitantly, "You call me?" ”

"Nonsense! Is there anyone else around here besides me and you? Standing under the eaves in front of her, a handsome and tight-fitting young woman in red who outlined her graceful figure wrinkled her nose, pointed at He Xiaoqiao with the horsewhip in her hand arrogantly, and ordered in a coquettish voice, "Hurry up and bring this princess!" ”

Yo, she's still a princess!

Considering the disparity in the identities of the two, coupled with the fact that there is no Jiang Fenghao as a backer, He Xiaoqiao, who is a weak fart from outside and has the characteristic of being afraid of death, decided to be obedient and save his life as soon as possible, so as not to accidentally annoy the arrogant princess in front of her.

Dispelling the idea of wanting to go out, He Xiaoqiao walked back, "May I ask this aunt...... What did the princess command? ”

"Princess Ben is thirsty."

With these words, the woman in red turned and went back into the house, put the whip on the table, and sat down beside her.

He Xiaoqiao blinked and replied very smoothly, "Oh." ”

"Oh what!" The woman in red seemed to be very irritable, and seeing that He Xiaoqiao didn't move for a long time, she slapped the table hard, "Didn't you hear this princess say that she was thirsty?" Why don't you come and pour tea! ”

It turned out that I wanted to drink tea, just say no, and there is no one else here, do you need to dress so cold and noble?

Hanging his head and rolling his eyes secretly, He Xiaoqiao thought about it for a while, but still stepped forward obediently, set up the teacup very easily, picked up the teapot and began to make a cameo appearance as a dutiful maid.

Probably seeing that He Xiaoqiao was behaving well, the impatience on the woman in red seemed to have receded, and she didn't say anything else, just drinking tea cup after cup, probably really thirsty.

Seeing this, He Xiaoqiao couldn't help but complain silently in his heart - you are dying of thirst, what kind of face are you pretending, the tea is next to you, you will die if you pour it yourself, you have to put up a shelf and wait for someone to serve you to be comfortable, you deserve no one to pay attention to you!

But then again, the girl in front of her has a good temperament and appearance, and that natural nobrow and elegance does look like a member of the royal family, but if she is really a princess, there is no reason why the people in the palace will leave her here alone, and there is not even a maid to say hello, is there anything in it?

Thinking so in her heart, He Xiaoqiao couldn't help but look up at her.

The head is full of green silk and is simply tied in a bun, there is no extra beaded hairpin on the head, the forehead is smooth and the skin is delicate. With thin willow eyebrows, large and bright apricot eyes, a delicate and small nose, and crimson lips, she is indeed a beautiful embryo.

Dressed in red, chic and neat, heroic, and if you look closely, there is a small tear mole under her left eye, which softens her own temperament a lot.

"Hey, what's your name? How did it end up here? The girl in red didn't seem to notice He Xiaoqiao's scrutiny, and while drinking water in her hands, she didn't forget to hold her head high and her stomach to continue her cold and noble style.

The corners of He Xiaoqiao's mouth twitched, thinking to himself, wasn't I called by you here?

"I ......"

"Forget it, forget it, you don't need you to say that Princess Ben knows." Before He Xiaoqiao finished finishing a complete sentence, the woman in red had already waved her hand like a fly, and interrupted impatiently, "Look at your shabby appearance, the lowliest maids in the house are all dressed more delicately than you, I think you should have come here to deliver food, right?" ”

Huh? Delivered?

He Xiaoqiao paused, and then cried and laughed and was ready to explain, "I don't ......"

"I know, I know." The woman in red snatched the conversation again, "You don't need to say it, this princess knows everything." ”

Here it is again, what does she know? She knows all about birds! Do princesses like to interrupt others so much?

Tsk, that's rude!

“…… For the sake of your performance in serving this princess to drink tea just now, this princess will not care about the crime of trespassing on the palace with you. When Uncle Seventeen comes back, Princess Ben will also help you ask for a favor, so that he doesn't embarrass you too much. ”

Let Jiang Fenghao not embarrass her?

Yes, yes, He Xiaoqiao continued to roll his eyes silently to express his helplessness, thank you so much.

“…… Uncle Seventeen is the most fond of this princess, as long as this princess speaks, he will definitely not punish you, and maybe he will give you more money for vegetables, so that you don't have to worry about running out of money to spend in the future. ”

The woman in red patted her chest with a look of 'everything is done for you, don't thank me too much', and Balabala, who feels good about herself, kept saying, "So, it's definitely good luck for you to meet this princess today, as long as this princess comes out......"

He Xiaoqiao was happy to see what she said, and when she couldn't interrupt her, she had to resist the urge to lament for herself, and silently took the cup to help her refill the tea.

Doesn't she feel thirsty when she pours so many words like a bean?

Seeing this, the woman in red was not polite, she took the teacup and raised her head to drink, and after drinking, she took a breath, and then took the time to ask, "By the way, what about my seventeenth uncle?" Where did it go? ”

He Xiaoqiao, who had completely calmed down, stood with his eyes and nose in his eyes, and immediately replied calmly and quickly when he heard the words, "If you go back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the seventeenth uncle of 'your family' has not come back yet." ”

When he comes back, she will definitely give him a 'hard time in this life' meeting gift.

"That's right, I almost forgot that Uncle Seventeen also had to go to the morning ......."

The girl in red put down the teacup, thought about it, and suddenly looked outside, and then beckoned to He Xiaoqiao with a mysterious face, "Come here." ”

Although she didn't understand what kind of medicine she was selling in this gourd, He Xiaoqiao, who was highly curious, still leaned over quite cooperatively.

I saw that the girl in red looked cautiously left and right again, and after confirming that there was no half of the people around, she covered her mouth with her hands and lowered her voice and asked, "I heard that there is a strange girl in this mansion, and there is a chance that it will be my future seventeenth imperial aunt, have you seen her?" ”

He Xiao Qiaomo.

After a long time, he subconsciously touched his face, and nodded hesitantly, "Probably, maybe, maybe, hmm...... I guess I've seen it. ”

"What do you mean you should have seen?" Princess Jing was unhappy when she heard this, "If you have seen it, you have seen it, if you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it, have you seen it or not?" ”

He Xiaoqiao thought for a while and replied casually, "There is a new girl in this mansion, but whether it is the 'Seventeen Emperor Aunt' you said, I don't know." ”

"New girl? That's sure she's right! Asking about the news she was interested in, the girl in red became excited, with an eager expression on her pretty little face, "Tell me what she looks like?" Is it good-looking? ”

He Xiaoqiao was speechless, and then continued to touch his chin, and after thinking for a long time, he spit out a sentence, "She, she looks very ordinary......"

"Normal-looking?" The girl in red was stunned for a moment, as if she couldn't accept it, and then frowned and muttered, "Isn't it the same person?" No, the royal brother clearly said that it was a ......"

Brother Huang? Could it be the current emperor?

Just when He Xiaoqiao straightened her ears with interest and was about to receive the gossip message from the Son of Heaven, the red-clothed girl with a rich expression suddenly stopped talking to herself, and then asked, "Hey, you said that she looks very ordinary, so do you know why my seventeenth uncle took her back to the house?" ”

"Back to the princess, I don't know!" He Xiaoqiao answered this question loudly and simply - even if he knew, he wouldn't tell you!

"I don't know anything, what the hell are you eating!"

He Xiaoqiao immediately raised his head and replied with a righteous face, "Princess, the little one eats by selling vegetables!" ”

The girl in red choked instantly, and couldn't say a word of rebuttal for a long time, "You ......"

"Who is so bold as to dare to carry the burden and sell vegetables in this palace?"

Just when the two of them were staring at each other, Jiang Fenghao's unique magnetic voice suddenly came from outside the door, lazily as if he had just woken up.

And with his appearance, the maids and servants who had been extinct in this courtyard before immediately poured in like ants seeing food.

Pour tea and water, wipe the table and send snacks, each division of labor is very busy, and there is no sense of disobedience at all.

It's as if they were all invisible just now, and now they remember to appear in front of people.

As for He Xiaoqiao, who was named, she glanced at the long figure that dangled in from outside, and when she saw him looking at her, she raised her right hand and responded expressionlessly, "I! ”

"Lady!"

Jiang Fenghao leaned against the door like a boneless, and when he saw He Xiaoqiao, his eyes immediately lit up, and he straightened his back with a smile on his face and prepared to come forward for a beautiful pre-dinner morningkiss.

As a result, as soon as his feet were raised, he didn't have time to step out, but a familiar red figure suddenly rushed out of the oblique ground, and without saying a word, he hugged his arm for the first time, and while pulling him firmly, he shouted with great enthusiasm, "Uncle Seventeen!" ”

"Tranquility?" Jiang Fenghao bowed his head in astonishment, "Why are you here?" ”
