Chapter 36 Smooth Red Envelope

The palace maid Yixiang had just asked people to clean the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and when she turned her head, she saw her master sitting on the windowsill, looking out of the window with her left hand on her cheek, and her eyes couldn't help but be stained with a layer of worry.

"Princess, seeing that it's almost dusk, why don't you let the kitchen bring dinner first?"

The right hand unconsciously pulled the leaves of the potted plants by the windowsill, and Princess Jinghe, who had fallen a remnant of leaves at her feet, did not raise her head when she heard this, but muttered angrily, "...... I'm full of gas, where can I eat! ”

The hateful Tumura girl, the hateful Liu Yidao! Dare to challenge her majesty as the eldest princess of the Great Yan Kingdom, and when she returns to the palace to see the emperor's brother, she must let the two of them go around without eating!

"You haven't eaten for a day, so you won't be able to stand it if you go on like this." The worry on her face became more and more obvious, Yi Xiang glanced at the other three sisters, and then suggested softly, "Why don't the slave go to the kitchen and get some rock sugar lotus seed soup, princess, you can use some." ”

"Don't eat, don't eat!" Princess Jinghe waved her hand impatiently, "Princess Ben said she wouldn't eat...... Go out, all of you, and don't always dangle in front of the princess! "I was upset when I saw it.

“…… Yes, "Yi Xiang saw that the persuasion was ineffective, and she was afraid that if she continued, she would make the master even more unhappy, so she had to lower her eyebrows and respond, "The slave and maid retired. ”

Slightly blessed, a group of four mermaids ran out of the room, and Xiao Tao, the palace maid who walked at the end, did not forget to carefully close the door and close it carefully.

"It's all that vulgar and rude, it's all her!"

As soon as the door closed, the tall palace maid who had only been ridiculed by He Xiaoqiao before twisted the handkerchief in her hand hatefully, glanced at the courtyard gate, and then lowered her head and said resentfully, "If it weren't for her, the princess wouldn't be angry like this!" ”

She was also slapped in the face in public and couldn't get off the stage, you must know that few people in the palace dare to be so rude to her!

That slut!

"That's it." Another palace maid with a pointed chin nodded in agreement, and her words were also full of indignation, "Our princess has been holding the golden branches and jade leaves in the palm of her hand by the queen mother since she was a child, when has she ever suffered such a loss?" That woman simply ate the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard, and dared to bully people like this! ”

"Alright, you two, give me a few words." Yi Xiang frowned two thin eyebrows, swept her warning gaze over the two of them, and said lightly, "Haven't you heard that the partition wall has ears?" This is not the princess's mansion, so be careful when you speak, don't cause any trouble for the princess. ”

Although he also complained in his heart that no one in He Xiaoqiao's eyes had annoyed the master and made them feel bad, after all, he had been in the palace for several years, he was old, and he saw more than others, so he naturally understood the importance of prudence.

You must know that the prince of Changning is notoriously arrogant and obedient, not to mention the princess, even the emperor has been beaten up for accidentally crossing the boundary and wanting to take care of the affairs of the palace for him.

The dignified true dragon son is still like this, where is it the turn to get these palace maids who can't get into the eyes of nobles to point here with their hands and feet? If they annoy him, maybe what awaits them is really the road of death without a place to bury.

"It's just a cheap maid, our princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, are you still afraid of her!" Among the four, the palace maid who was the most petite, and looked like she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, immediately snorted when she heard this, and took over with a little pride, "As long as the princess gives the order, I Haitang can hang her immediately."

"If she's just an ordinary person, then naturally don't worry, you can fix her as much as you want." Turning her head and glancing at the palace maid named Begonia, Yixiang looked thoughtful and said slowly, "What I'm worried about is that her identity is not as simple as I imagined. ”

Manager Liu is the oldest and most trusted servant in the palace, so he can personally come forward to maintain and be able to enter and leave the palace freely......

In short, if you want to move her, I'm afraid it's not so easy.

"Sister Yixiang is too worried, just the scathing and vulgar appearance of the, where can her identity be noble?" The tall palace maid Xia Bing's eyes flashed with revenge, and she hanged her handkerchief tightly, "When I return to the palace, I must find an opportunity to tell the Queen Mother about this matter, and let the Queen Mother cure the crime of bullying the king!" ”

"Shut up! Can you also talk about the sin of deception? Don't you want to die? Yi Xiang glanced at Xia Bing, who was smiling a little hideously, and frowned and whispered, "Don't give me a stop yet!" ”

Xia Bing made her sober up immediately as soon as she drank it, although she was a little scared in her heart, but in the end, she was still angry and unwilling, and she refused to bow her head and admit her mistake, so she looked at each other with her neck and clothes.

"What? My eyes are so big, do you think I don't like what I say? Seeing this, Yixiang's face immediately became unsightly, and her voice naturally cooled down, "It's all long, you can't say anything, right?" ”

"Sister Yixiang, don't be angry, Xia Bing didn't mean that." Xiao Tao, the palace maid with a pointed chin, was already in deep love with Xia Bingmei, and seeing that the situation was not right at the moment, she hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her sleeve to signal her to bow her head first, and then pulled out a flattering smile, temporarily giving full play to the spirit of the top ten companions of 'sharing blessings and difficulties', and tried to pick out the words to speak well, and strive to make the fragrance of the clothes dissipate, "I think she should just be angry for a while, too anxious to avenge her master." You can't just let the princess be bullied by others! If this is going to get out, isn't it for nothing that those people see the joke? ”

"The princess's revenge will naturally be avenged, but this matter needs to be considered in the long run." probably felt that what Xiao Tao said was also reasonable, and Yixiang's tone eased a lot, "This is Changning Palace, and what the prince hates the most is that others overstep their responsibilities and do not do their best to move the people in his house to take care of the affairs of his house." So you all remember for me, if you don't want to be killed on the spot or sold to the bitter cold of the frontier, it's best to keep your mouth shut for me, and don't complain that I didn't remind you when something happens. ”

After speaking, Yi Xiang glanced at the three people in front of her almost sternly, and raised her voice slightly, "Did you hear it clearly?" ”

After all, where are the seniorities, and Yixiang's words are also for their good, so no matter how unhappy they are, the three of them still obediently lowered their heads and responded, "It's clear." ”

"Good." Yixiang nodded with satisfaction, then looked up at the sky that had gradually darkened, and said in a low voice, "The princess is resting in the room now, Xia Bing Haitang, you two are guarding the door, don't let people come and disturb." As for Peach, you come with me to the kitchen. ”

"Yes."

Forced by Yixiang's warning first, the three of them didn't dare to say anything more, but they just lowered their eyebrows and stood aside, and Xiao Tao automatically and spontaneously followed Yixiang's side, and the two left one after the other.

Seeing the two of them walking away, Haitang turned his head to look at the locked door behind him, and then looked outside, pouted at the figure of Yixiang who was far away, and muttered in a low voice, "...... Usually always with an expression of dragging to the sky, I didn't expect to be so timid. ”

It's just a woman of unknown origin, and it's worth looking ahead and looking forward like this, what to think about in the long run, in the final analysis, it's not because I'm afraid, I don't want to offend the prince and I can't please the princess.

"Hey, Xia Bing," Di Yu's round eyes turned twice, and seeing that Xia Bing beside her didn't speak, Haitang nudged her with her hand, "What do you say we should do?" The princess's revenge, will it be avenged? ”

"Of course."

Not only the princess's revenge must be avenged, but her revenge, her revenge for being ridiculed, must also be avenged back!

"Don't worry, this day will come soon." Two calculating lights shot out of his narrowed eyes, Xia Bing snorted coldly, his hands clenched into fists, his long nails poked deep into his palms, and the expression on his face became more and more hideous.

"As long as she is still in this mansion for a day, I, Xia Bing, will definitely make her pay a terrible price for this!"

Slut, we'll see!

didn't know that there was already someone behind him, who wanted to kill her, and at this moment, He Xiaoqiao was leisurely raising Erlang's legs and lying on the beauty couch to take a cool look.

At this moment, it was completely dark, and the sound of frogs and insects was all around.

There are several lampstands around the stone table, and the candlelight illuminates the entire courtyard, He Xiaoqiao is holding this "Strange Tales of Dayan" in one hand and watching it with pleasure, and the other hand is holding the bowl cake that he just bought back and drinking tea.

Cailian sat quietly behind her, very hard-working and took a fan to fan her and block mosquitoes.

"Cailian, where is your prince?" Turning the page of the book in his hand, He Xiaoqiao asked casually.

Jiang Fenghao, this guy, also said that he wanted to teach her to play! As a result, a whole day passed, and I didn't even see a single figure, and I didn't know where to go.

"I heard that Manager Liu said that the emperor left the prince to dine in the palace, saying that there was something important to discuss, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back until later."

"That's ...... so"

He Xiaoqiao muttered twice, slowly fell silent again, and continued to flip through the book gracefully.

"Miss." After a long while, Cai Lian suddenly spoke again, her words full of worry, "Princess Jinghe is notoriously rude and difficult in the city, you annoyed her today, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future......"

"Trouble? What trouble can there be? ”

He Xiaoqiao didn't raise his head when he heard this, but just replied lazily, "I didn't provoke her, she came to provoke me first." People are about to bully me, do you want me to stand and be beaten obediently? ”

Although she is afraid of death, she will not kneel down and beg for mercy, which is a major issue of personality and discipline.

"But she is a princess after all...... "The status is noble and the power covers the sky."

"What about the princess? This is not her territory, and it is not her turn to go wild. He Xiaoqiao shrugged his shoulders calmly, glanced at Cailian out of the corner of his eye, and quickly returned to the book, turning a page with his hand, "Besides, even if the sky falls, won't there still be your prince on top?" Wouldn't it be better for him to solve it? ”

It's called getting the most out of it...... Ahem, it's wrong, it's the capable who work harder.

"Yes, I forgot about it, and the prince!" Thinking of this, Cai Lian was immediately relieved, "As long as the prince is here, Miss doesn't have to worry, absolutely no one dares to come to find trouble." ”

You must know that the prince of their family was the number one bully in the capital who was nicknamed 'Ghost Sorrow', and even the current saint can't make him obedient, let alone the saint's sister.

Thinking of Jiang Fenghao's super protective personality, Cai Lian couldn't help but nod with satisfaction - now look at who dares to bully her young lady!

Who's worried? She never worried about whether it was good or not!

He Xiaoqiao rolled his eyes to express helplessness, but he didn't say this, just reached out and patted Cailian's arm, and said earnestly, "That's right, that's it." So don't worry, don't think about what you don't have, and add blockage to your heart in vain. ”

She thought she was tired and didn't want to talk, but she didn't expect this girl to be absent-minded all day, it turned out that she was struggling with this!

"Such a beautiful girl, her sad face has lost color." Lifting Cailian's chin with the book in his hand, He Xiaoqiao winked at her, with a ruffian smile on the corner of his mouth, making a twelve-point hooligan appearance, "Come, laugh and show it to the master." ”

Although he had long been accustomed to He Xiaoqiao's temperament of smoking twice from time to time, but when she was suddenly teased like this, Cai Lian still blushed on the spot, and hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Miss loves to bully Cai Lian!" ”

"Where's this bullying? This girl is obviously complimenting you. ”

He Xiaoqiao said with a smile, looked up at the starry night sky again, closed the book and sat up, "Okay, I'm not kidding you." Now your young lady is very bored, come and talk to me. ”

Cailian tilted her head and thought about it, the fan in her hand didn't stop fanning the wind for a moment, "What does Miss want to talk about?" ”

"Your Mid-Autumn Festival here......" He Xiaoqiao paused, "I mean, how do you spend the August Festival here?" Are there any other programs besides Moon Worship? ”

"Absolutely! Miss, you don't know, the August Festival was originally called the Daughter's Day, in addition to worshiping the moon mother to pray for peace, you can also go to the flower market, watch the lanterns, and there are fireworks at night! Cai Lian counted her fingers with great interest and said, "In addition, on the day of the August Festival, as long as the girl who has reached the age of thirteen and has not yet married, she can go to the yamen to receive a 'Shunxin red envelope' of one or two silver as dowry money." ”

A dowry of a tael of silver? Tsk, that's not a minority.

I can't see that the government here is quite humane - the Mid-Autumn Festival dowry, this creativity, leverage!

It's no wonder that the people in the small towns around the capital want to sharpen their heads and squeeze in, daring to love is that there are many benefits at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and no one wants to miss it.

"Then in addition to the moon lady receiving red envelopes, visiting the flower market, watching the lanterns and watching the fireworks, what did you eat that day?" While chatting, He Xiaoqiao simply threw the book aside, shrunk his legs, and rested his chin on his knees, "Are there mooncakes?" ”

"Mooncakes?" Cai Lian looked dazed, "Miss, what is a moon cake?" ”
