Chapter III

A few wrist-thick gold-sprinkled red candles were lit next to the pear flower mirror table in front of the hollow flower window, which reflected the beautiful people in front of the diamond flower bronze mirror.

The maidservant took the finely polished sandalwood carved hair comb and lightly combed the satin-like black hair of Xiao Yunjiao, her face full of worry.

"The princess has been a little feverish since the cold the day before yesterday, do you still want to go to the palace banquet today?"

It was the pink-clothed maid who served in the carriage when Xiao Yunjiao went to Yongning Temple.

Xiao Yunjiaosu swept the hairpins neatly arranged on the dressing table, picked a ivory hairpin inlaid with pearl curls and grass patterns, and played with it in his hand, "The Shangyuan Palace banquet is very lively, how can this palace be absent." ”

The maidservant quickly put her in a bun, "Does the princess want to bring this ivory hairpin today?" Sunny mountain will give you a hairpin. ”

"Where's the primrose?" Xiao Yunjiao asked rhetorically.

The maid who called Haruman replied, "Primrose is taking care of the princess's dress to wear at night. ”

Throwing the ivory hairpin on the dressing table at will, Xiao Yunjiao picked up the water red grease cream, "Let Primrose go and get the set of Eight Treasure Glazed Luan Phoenix Hairpins in the warehouse." ”

Qingshan was blessed and was about to retreat, Xiao Yunjiao said again: "It's so boring to sit down, ask Jiang Yiheng to come over and talk." ”

Qingshan hesitated when he heard this, and hesitated, "Back to Princess, Mr. Jiang...... Sick. ”

"Sick?" Xiao Yunjiao gently blurred the grease with her fingertips and dotted it on her cheeks, "When did you get sick?" ”

"The day before yesterday, the princess got hot after returning home from Yongning Temple, and Concubine Cui said that the people around the princess were not serving well, so she followed...... I was rewarded with ten boards. Qingshan knelt at Xiao Yunjiao's feet, "The maid was really difficult to move yesterday, so she didn't serve in front of the princess." ”

"Smack!"

The small jar of white porcelain painting rubbed Qingshan's head and was thrown to the ground, and suddenly the porcelain pieces splashed everywhere, and the water-red grease was scattered, like a pool of blood.

"This palace doesn't know when this princess's mansion was surnamed Cui?"

Haruman shivered and touched his head to the ground, "The princess forgives her sins." ”

Xiao Yunjiao was extremely angry, and dropped two hairpin rings on his head, "If this palace doesn't ask, do you still think about keeping this palace in the dark?" ”

Ignoring Qingshan's desperate kowtow and begging for mercy, Xiao Yun said angrily: "Since you listen to Concubine Cui so much, then go and be Concubine Cui's maid." ”

"Someone!"

Xiao Yunjiao's voice fell, and several maids rushed in, all lowering their eyes and bowing their heads waiting for the princess's command.

"Send this loyal servant of Concubine Cui to Shou'an Palace, and don't appear in front of the palace again."

"The princess forgives her sins, and the slave is loyal to the princess." Qingshan's tears were like rain, his head was banged, and under the ups and downs of his emotions, he fell to the ground and fainted.

The new servants looked at their noses and noses, and Xiao Yunjiao did not instruct, so they did not dare to make any moves.

"Take it down, treat her injuries, and send her to Shou'an Palace after her injuries are healed." Xiao Yunjiao sat down in front of the dressing table again, and chose a pair of red gold and gem-inlaid Luan Feng Bu Shao, "Call Primrose to come in and serve the palace dressing." ”

By the time Xiao Yunjiao finished dressing up, it was already an hour later.

For the sake of the one just now, the princess's mansion didn't dare to breathe, and watched the princess dress up and leave the guard of honor sent by His Majesty to pick her up, and went straight to Xuezhuyuan.

Xue Zhuyuan - Jiang Yiheng's residence.

The princess's mansion covers an extremely large area, and the main courtyard is naturally for the princess to live in. There are also many courtyards on the east and west sides, and in the west courtyard, the princess's doorman lives.

Snow Bamboo Garden is the most quiet and elegant place in the West Courtyard. In the garden, the Daiwa bluestone, the bamboo shadow is horizontally oblique, and the unmelted snow points are between the bluestone paths, which reflects the name of this place, elegant and quiet.

Xiao Yunjiao walked into the hall of Xuezhuyuan, and the two servants in the house immediately knelt on the ground and saluted, she waved her hand casually to let the two of them get up, "How is Mr. Jiang's body?" ”

The two servants bowed down to the older man and replied, "Back to the princess, the medical officer of the palace has carefully diagnosed and treated the husband, and the external injury and some wind and cold are added, and it is said that he will recuperate for a few more days." ”

"Go and get the purple jade paste in the library, heal Mr., and then ask Imperial Doctor Xu to come over to check Mr.'s pulse."

After Xiao Yunjiao gave the order, he walked straight into the inner room. On the four-pillar lantern brocade shelf bed of red sandalwood, Jiang Yiheng, who has a handsome face, is holding a book and leaning on a soft pillow.

"The princess is here." Jiang Yiheng put down the book in his hand, "I can't greet the princess, it's Hengzhi." ”

Xiao Yunjiao sat down on the edge of the bed, and held Jiang Yiheng's hand with him, "Hengzhi has suffered, I was not happy in this palace two days ago, and now that I know the reason, I naturally won't let Hengzhi suffer in vain." ”

"Ahem, ahem......" Jiang Yiheng bent his elbows to prop himself up, his handsome face was a little pale, and his expression was full of concern, "Is the princess still healthy?" ”

"The palace is fine, and Hengzhi must be well raised." Xiao Yunjiao lowered his eyes, "When this palace enters the palace tonight, it will definitely be angry for Hengzhi." ”

"Primrose." Calling the maidservant, Xiao Yunjiao instructed, "Go and tell them that if Mr. Jiang wants something, he doesn't need to return it, just take it directly." ”

After Xiao Yunjiao went out, the maids and servants of the princess's mansion discussed in private, saying that Mr. Jiang was the person on the tip of the princess's heart. Although he has no name on the surface, he has to take him everywhere when he actually goes out at home, and now even the treasury has asked Mr. Jiang for everything, and so on, Xue Zhuyuan has to do his best to serve there.

The rest of the guests in the palace were even more complicated, and most of them were brought back by the princess when she was traveling and playing. They said that they were guests, but they themselves knew that they were just pleasing the princess to live. Some of these people are even musicians and small servants, and when they learned that Jiang Yiheng had exclusive grace, some people couldn't bear it.

Liuxi was brought back to the house by Xiao Yunjiao during a trip. He was originally a Qinglou pianist, because he was good at the piano, the princess liked to ask him to serve in her spare time, and it can be said that he was quite favored in the house.

However, except for listening to him play the piano and occasionally taking him with him, the princess never called him to bed. This time he was also punished, and the princess only visited Mr. Jiang in person.

So when he heard that the princess was particularly fond of Jiang Yiheng, his uneasiness almost overwhelmed him.

So he came to Xuezhuyuan.

Sekichikuen has already had many visiting guests. When Liu Xi walked into the most elegant courtyard of this western courtyard with a gift, he met Xue Ping, who had just come out.

Xue Ping was brought back by the princess before and after he was him, and the relationship was not bad, and Liu Xi took the initiative to open his mouth when he saw him.

"You also came to see Mr. Jiang."

Xue Ping was silent and didn't say much, and only bowed his head in response. Liu Xi also knew his temperament, and continued to take care of himself, "Mr. Jiang is now the first proud person in front of the princess, those of us from humble backgrounds are not favored by the princess, and it is also a way out to be able to befriend Mr. Jiang." ”

"I'm here to ask for some medicine." Xue Ping spoke this time, Jiang Yiheng is half a housekeeper in this princess's mansion, and most of the affairs of the guests are handled through him.

Liu Xi was surprised: "Didn't anyone bring you medicine?" ”

After the punishment of several people who traveled with the princess yesterday, the medical officials of the palace all went to see it.

Xue Ping shook his head, "I'm fine, it's just a small guy who is unattended, and it's still difficult to walk." ”

They were the princess's doormen, and the medical officer did not dare to slack off, but the little maid who accompanied them was not so lucky. has a slight head and a face like a clear mountain, and can also use the connections he usually accumulates to reward money for some wound medicine, and those little guys who don't even know their names can only get through it by themselves.

Xue Ping accidentally saw that it was a little difficult for a small group to walk, so he came to Xuezhuyuan.

"You're the kindest." Liu Xi sighed that when he first entered the princess's mansion, Xue Ping silently helped him a lot.

"I just can't bear it." Xue Ping didn't say much, saying that he still had to send medicine and separated from him.

Liu Xi stood in place for a long time, and finally knocked on the door of the main house of Xue Zhuyuan.

"Mr. Jiang."

Liu Xi secretly looked at the interior of Xue Zhuyuan, and his eyes were about to fall out. The room seemed to be low-key, but he saw that the veil used for gluing the window was plain shark yarn. This gauze is inconspicuous on the surface, but it has excellent light transmission and is as light as a cloud. He had a chance encounter with a client when he went to Kakaku, the largest auction house in Kyoto.

Unexpectedly, the princess used plain shark yarn to paste the window for Jiang Yiheng.

Thinking of this, Liu Xi's tone was more respectful, "I don't know if Mr. is better?" ”

Jiang Yiheng put down the book in his hand and replied softly: "It's no big deal, thank you for your concern." ”

After speaking, he looked at the person kneeling in front of the couch, and got up and got out of bed directly in surprise, with a slight force on his hand, but he couldn't help the person up, Jiang Yiheng simply gave up, "Liuxi, what do you mean by this?" ”

Liu Xi knelt on the ground and spoke, "Xi wants to take refuge in Mr. Jiang, and Mr. Wang will take him in." ”

Jiang Yiheng sat down on the edge of the bed, coughed twice and spoke, "You and I are both guests of the princess's mansion, where did you come from?" ”

"I know that I have nothing to favor the princess except to play some silk and bamboo sounds. If you want to live a stable life in the princess's mansion in the future, you still have to rely on your husband. ”

"You don't have to be presumptuous." Jiang Yiheng said: "Since the princess can bring you back to the house, it means that you are naturally extraordinary, so why can't you spend your days?" ”

Liu Xi raised his head, "I have been in the princess's mansion for more than three months, but the princess has never been ...... except for letting me play the piano Never called me...... Bedding. If it weren't for Liu Xi making the princess dissatisfied, how could this be? ”

Before he entered the mansion, he had heard that the doormen brought back by the princess were all people with the name of the doorman and the real people. He had long been ready to serve the princess, but now that March had passed, the princess had only listened to him play, and he really couldn't figure out where he hadn't done a good job.

Originally, Liu Xi thought that he was very good-looking, and he would definitely be able to be like a fish in water in the princess's mansion, but who knew that after seeing Jiang Yiheng, he realized that he just had a pair of skins.

Jiang Yiheng smiled, "You really think too much." ”

He helped Liu Xi to get up again, and this time he helped people up.

"The princess has a wide range of hobbies, but any talented princess will be polite, and it is rumored that you don't have to take it to heart. There are more than 20 guests in the house, all of whom have their own advantages. Isn't that what you're a doorman for? ”

"But......" Jiang Yiheng smiled more kindly, like a spring breeze in March, "If you want to get the princess's blue eyes like below, there is no way." It's just ......"

In the next words, he didn't say it directly, but handed Liu Xi a deed, "If you want to become a princess, you must first hand over your heart." ”

Only those who are faithful can be used for themselves.
