Chapter 18: The New Handmaiden

A group of five people rushed back, Helian Yi didn't speak, Xiao Yunyan scolded with a smile: "Make an opinion, don't do such a stupid thing in the future." ”

"I, I just don't want to let it all fall short."

"You, pretending to be confident in front of me, are actually uneasy in your heart."

"After all, it's not a sure thing, the world is unpredictable, and no one dares to guarantee anything until the last step."

"Still sad?" Xiao Yunyan took her hand and stroked it gently.

She smiled bitterly again: "This is just the beginning, and I will encounter more criticism and criticism in the future, and I can only bear it."

......

It was already night when they returned to Liangcheng, and after dinner, Xiao Yunyan didn't care about the fatigue of the boat and car, and immediately started to write the battle report, and handed it to He Lianyi, who looked at it and said: "Your Highness doesn't mention Zhao Hai a word, he will be mentioned in the future, Your Highness should be prepared for this matter." ”

"It's only a dangerous move. Maybe I'll be called back to the capital soon. The two seemed to have a tacit understanding, understanding each other's meaning, and looked at each other and smiled.

Xiao Yunyan said again: "You can also go back to the room and rest." ”

"Okay."

After Helian Yi said goodbye and left, the servant girl from the day before came in again.

"Your Highness, let the slaves and maids come and serve and wash for Your Highness." Xiao Yunyan was a little stunned for a while, Helian Yi had always accompanied him to leave Xiao Yunyan's room after dinner, and the master and servant never served him to wash and change clothes. But at this time, Luo Hu was sending him a military report to the post envoy, and Luo Hong was angry with him all the way, standing outside and guarding but refusing to come in.

"Okay, then you can go fetch water."

After some freshening, the maidservant made the bed for Xiao Yunyan and then dressed him widely. Xiao Yunyan saw that although she was a little in a hurry, she had no intention of avoiding taboos, "Gongzi said, Your Highness has worked hard for the past two days, let Your Highness rest early." Slaves and maidservants are kept outside the tent, and if His Highness has any trouble, he can call slaves and maidservants at any time. ”

When Xiao Yunyan heard this, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and it seemed that she would be here tonight. He suddenly remembered who she had said that day, and asked, "How did you say you came that day?" ”

The maid simply pointed out: "Back to Your Highness, the slave maid was originally Mrs. Yuan's maidservant, and the slave maid heard Mrs. say: Your Highness is beside you - there is no concubine, so the old lady sent the slave and maid here." As she spoke, her face was already flushed. Xiao Yunyan looked at her carefully and saw that she was in moderate shape and beautiful in appearance, which could be regarded as one in a million in beauty. immediately understood that since his injuries gradually improved, Helian Yi was defenseless against herself except last night, and he was always on guard against himself at other times, for fear that he would not be able to force her to comply. She opened her mouth to ask Mrs. Yuan for someone, just to protect her own innocence. For a while, I was angry and angry in my heart, and I wanted to call her to scold her immediately. But after all, he still suppressed the anger in his heart, "You go back to your room to rest first, this king has been running around for the past two days, and he is very tired, and he wants to rest early." ”

"Yes." The maid knew that Xiao Yunyan didn't fancy herself, so she had to leave with a disappointed face.

......

The next day, Helian Yi came in with breakfast with her own hands, and saw Xiao Yunyan sitting at the desk with a gloomy face and looking at the book, as if she didn't intend to pay attention to her at all. She already knew about last night's incident from the maid leaving Xiao Yunyan's room, and she should return the maid back to the Yuan Mansion.

Helian Yi put breakfast one by one on the table, "Your Highness, let's eat first, otherwise it will be cold." ”

Seeing that he still didn't move and refused to take care of himself, Helian Yi had no choice but to bend down and bring the scooped ginseng soup to him, "Your Highness, this is a thousand-year-old ginseng sent by Lord Yuan, and the doctor said that the ginseng soup should be drunk while it is hot." ”

Xiao Yunyan finally put down the book and looked up at her, "You think that after feeding me, you can rest easy, right?" ”

"Iβ€”that's not what I meant. It was His Highness himself who always complained, and I had no choice but to make this decision. ”

"What is the solution? Helian Yi, you are really both capable and virtuous, gentle and virtuous, magnanimous, empathetic, and reasonable. ”

He obviously made a series of praises, but Helian Yi listened to every word and realized that the crisis was imminent.

"If you look for it in the future, you have to find me a good-looking one. It's so ugly, how can you make me talk? ”

Helian Yi knew that he was wrong, and he didn't agree, and he didn't agree, so he had to let him count and not dare to say anything.

But he still tried to find fault, "This king is really worried, you keep saying that you want to be a concubine, then my future concubines will have to be chosen by you, you can't just pick a crooked melon and crack jujube and stuff it into my room like the one last night, right?" ”

Helian Yi knew that he had lost half of his anger, so he returned his mouth: "Your Highness is really picky, everyone in Liangcheng knows that the personal maid beside Mrs. Yuan is one of the most beautiful in the entire Liangcheng. ”

Helian Yi didn't know, her words aroused Xiao Yunyan's anger again, "I didn't fancy Yun Zhiqiu, who was full of Jinghua back then, let alone her." ”

Suddenly, he pulled her down, and Helian Yi couldn't stand up, and sat on his lap.

"Helian Yi, don't blame me for not keeping my promises, you caused me this fire yourself." As he spoke, he drew closer to her again.

"Your Highness, the doctor said that Your Highness still needs to follow the doctor's instructions carefully, and you also need to recuperate well, and drink the ginseng soup first."

"Still need to recuperate? And you brought me a bed? ”

"Your Highness misunderstood, I didn't mean that."

"You're stupid to me?"

Helian Yi was about to speak, when suddenly her lips were blocked by his, and her head was blank for a while, and the bowl of ginseng soup immediately fell to the ground, shattering with a "clang".

Helian Yi was feeling that the world was spinning, and suddenly heard Luo Hong ask loudly, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Yunyan raised his head and glanced at Luo Hong fiercely, only to see Luo Hong snort to himself, and then ran out in a hurry.

He Lianyi was ashamed for a moment, pushed Xiao Yunyan away hard, and fled.

She rushed all the way back to her house, Shen Liuxiang was doing the needlework in her hands, and when she saw Helian Yi coming back at this time, she couldn't help but wonder: "Princess, why did you come back at this time?" ”

"Oh." She panicked, "That bowl of ginseng soup was knocked over by His Highness, you go and boil another bowl and bring it to His Highness's room." ”

"Ahh So good ginseng was knocked over by him? Your Highness isn't still angry about what happened last night, is he? Really, the princess was obviously well-intentioned, but he didn't appreciate it. ”

"Go ahead."

After Shen Liuxiang went out, Helian Yi sat there alone, closing her eyes and her mind kept turning over and over for a short moment, his lips and tongue made her heart beat faster, and the corners of her lips rose uncontrollably.

Suddenly, the withered old woman's earnest advice came to her mind: "The princess must not deliver her sincerity!" The princess must not deliver the truth! The princess can give her body, but she must not give her heart! ”

She suddenly opened her eyes, as if she had completely woken up from a dream.

"Princess, are youβ€”asleep?" Shen Liuxiang didn't know when she was standing by her side.

"Oh, just a nap. Did you give it to His Highness? ”

"His Royal Highness is not here, he said that he would go to General Du's mansion after breakfast."

Helian Yi instantly understood that Xiao Yunyan was worried about the picture in Du Shaoyi's mansion, as if he was worried about a baby. Today, I must have gone to his mansion to ponder the terrain of Daning.
