Chapter 12:-for-tat (Part II)

Mingda resides in the Linglong Pavilion in the Hall of Manna Palace. Ganlu Hall was originally the dormitory of the eldest grandson queen, and after her death, her father and emperor lived here with the king of Jin and Mingda.

When the eunuchs of the Ganlu Hall saw us, they all knelt down to greet us. I followed behind Mingda, through the main hall of the Ganlu Hall and the backyard, to Mingda's residence.

This is one of the few buildings with an attic in Daxing Palace. As the name suggests, the Pavilion is small and chic, making it the perfect place for a girl's home. With curiosity and envy, I stepped into Mingda's residence.

The furnishings in the house are extremely simple, but the materials are exquisite, and the nobility of the owner is everywhere. The three-color gold-plated hollow incense burner on the table next to the table is rising with a refreshing fragrance.

"It smells so good!" I couldn't help but revel in it.

"This is the Mei Lan incense specially customized for me by the master of incense in the palace. It has the fragrance of plum blossoms and the fragrance of orchids, if Jingjing likes it, I can give it to you. Mingda took my hand and walked to the low rosewood table in the middle of the room. The low table is surrounded by intricately made gold silk peony embroidered upholstery. We sat on the cushions.

"Yunqing, go fetch water to wash Princess Changshan's face." Mingda summoned the maid, like a hostess.

"Yes!" The maidservant named Yunqing bowed to Mingda and immediately ran out to prepare.

"Slave maid to Princess Jinyang and Princess Changshan, please be safe!" Another soft, sweet voice sounded in my ears.

I was marveling at Yunqing's efficiency, but when I looked up, I saw another maid kneeling at the table with two plates of delicate snacks. I saw that she was only about a year or two older than us, and she was born extremely delicate, and she grew up to be a peerless beauty.

As I looked at the servant girl in front of me, she had already gotten up and put the snack on the table.

"Mingda, are all such beautiful and dazzling beautiful palace maids in your palace?" As I spoke, I took the mung bean cake from the plate and put it in my mouth. The mung bean cake was sweet but not greasy, and melted in my mouth, so I couldn't help but take another piece and put it in my mouth, and added with a whin, "And a delicious snack?" ”

Mingda looked at my flattering appearance, pursed his lips and smiled: "She is the best-looking maid in my palace, but let you see it, thinking that my palace is full of maidservants." In fact, there may be so many beautiful palace maids for me! ”

When the maid heard Mingda talk about herself, she hurriedly blessed me: "The slave maid Yuhan has seen Princess Changshan." ”

I nodded at her and motioned for her to get up, but said to Mingda: "But you still have so many maidservants, and I don't have any of them, only Mama Xiao accompanies me." ”

"Jingjing, you don't have a handmaid?" Mingda showed an incredulous expression, thought for a moment, and then said, "In that case, I will let Yuhan go over to serve you." ”

"How dare this Jingjing be? Presumably Yuhan is Mingda's personal maidservant, so letting her go to me will make Mingda feel uncomfortable. "I still have self-knowledge, and I can accept Mingda's gift for food, but people, I still don't dare to ask for it, let alone Mingda's personal maid. Although, I would love to have a maid of my own age.

"Jingjing doesn't have to be polite to me. Although Yuhan is not very old, she is calm and thoughtful, and I am very relieved to have her take care of you. In this palace, with such a person of your own by your side, you can survive better. Mingda turned to take care of Yuhan, "I entrust Princess Changshan to your care, you have to take care of her like your own sister, and don't let her be hurt in the slightest." ”

"Yes, Princess! The princess's teachings are taken to heart. "Yuhan is blessed with Mingda again.

As he spoke, Yun Qing had already come in with water. Since Mingda had specified that Yu Han would serve me in the future, Yu Han stepped forward to wash my face and put on makeup.

By the time everything was done, the few pieces of mung bean cake I had eaten earlier had already been digested, and I was hungry again. Ever since I was taken to Chongwen Hall by Mingda in the morning, I haven't been able to eat a good meal. So I couldn't bother to talk to Mingda anymore, and I didn't care about appreciating Mingda's chic Linglong Pavilion, so I found an excuse and hurried back to my nursery with Yuhan.
