Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 33 The First Meal Hongmen Banquet

When Xiao Xu returned to the palace, the maid Hong Yi came up to greet her, "My lord." After paying her respects softly, she took the cloak that Xiao Xu had taken off, turned around and put it on the shelf.

"What's going on at the mansion today?" Xiao Xu asked calmly after taking a seat on the chair.

Hongyi thought for a moment when she heard the words, then shook her head with a smile, "Everything is fine in the house, there is nothing serious."

After answering, Hongyi saw the prince raised his brows slightly, and couldn't help wondering, he had never seen the prince pay attention to the affairs of the house on weekdays, why would he suddenly ask today.And at this moment, a little servant girl appeared at the door and motioned to her. Hongyi glanced at the prince and saw that he didn't pay attention to her movement, so she went out.

"What's the matter to report?" Hongyi walked to the end of the corridor, and the little maid followed her. She turned and looked at the little maid. If she remembered correctly, this little maid was working in front of Steward Bai.

The little servant girl immediately replied, "Steward Bai asked his servant to come and tell Sister Hong that the Ninth Miss of the Chu family has already settled down, and there is no need for Sister Hong to worry about it."

It was only then that Hongyi remembered that today was the day when the ninth lady of the Chu family entered the mansion. Perhaps this marriage was not taken seriously by the whole of the Ying Wang's mansion, so she inadvertently ignored it!

"Where does Butler Bai arrange Miss Chu Jiu?" Hong Yi couldn't help asking.

"The winding path leads to the secluded courtyard." The little maid replied.

Hongyi waved the little maid back, thinking about this matter carefully, the winding path leads to the secluded courtyard, which is the courtyard farthest from the main courtyard, she thought about it, is this what the master just asked?

She turned around and went back to the room, bowed slightly to the person in the chief seat, "My lord, just now Steward Bai sent someone to report that Miss Chu Jiu has been settled."

The person holding the book paused slightly, looked away from the book, and landed on the person in front of him, "Where is the arrangement?"

Hongyi immediately reported the name of the hospital that the little maid reported. She carefully observed the prince's expression, but she couldn't see any changes. She couldn't help wondering, could it be that the prince ordered the housekeeper Bai to arrange it?
At this moment, Huang Yi, a maid dressed in goose yellow clothes, came in, bent over to Xiao Xu and said, "My lord, it's time for dinner, do you want to pass the meal?"

"En." Xiao Xu responded lightly.

So Hong Yi stood aside, Huang Yi went back to the kitchen and ordered the servants to bring the dinner.

Xiao Xu took a seat at the dinner table, just picked up the chopsticks, suddenly paused, then put the chopsticks down again, and said in a tone without any emotion, "Miss Chu Jiu, please come and have dinner together."

Hong Yi originally thought that Miss Chu Jiu's matter was over like this, but she didn't expect that the prince would bring it up at this time, and immediately responded, ordering his servants to summon her, and she couldn't help feeling anxious. From south to north, I hope that the servants will leave quickly, so as not to delay the prince's meal.

And the winding path leads to the secluded courtyard.

Chu Qingyan and Xining tidied up the entire yard, and they almost collapsed from exhaustion.

The messy courtyard has obviously been unoccupied for a long time. Butler Bai arranged her here, expressly saying that she was sent to the cold courtyard, and she must keep her own place, or she will end up——

But Chu Qingyan is happy and at ease, she doesn't have to face those intrigues in the backyard life, she is willing to be a rice bug.

But this rice worm seems to be starving to death.

"Xining, when do you eat on weekdays?" Chu Qingyan asked with a bitter face.

Hearing this, Xi Ning put down the quilt on hand and thought for a while, "It seems to be this hour, but our yard is far away from the kitchen, and it takes half an hour to go back and forth."

Chu Qingyan's mouthful of blood was choked in her chest, my God, it's so far away, it's so hard to eat a meal!

Seeing the master's wrinkled and wronged look, Xining couldn't help but chuckled, "Master, wait a moment, this servant will bring you food now."

Chu Qingyan rubbed Hungry Bian's stomach, and when she was about to nod, a servant knocked on the courtyard door, and then passed an order that the ghost-faced prince invited her over for dinner.

Upon hearing this news, Chu Qingyan's heart turned cold. Could it be a grand banquet?
Guessing is guessing, seeing the impatient expression on the servant's face, Chu Qingyan immediately followed with Xining with the attitude of being a newcomer who couldn't take Joe.

Chu Qingyan didn't expect that the idea of ​​rice worms just started would be killed in the bud, and she wanted to cry without tears.

After walking, Chu Qingyan realized how far her yard was from King Ying's yard, and she almost lost her leg walking!It can't be blamed on her being delicate, but this body is still that of a ten-year-old child, with short legs and lack of strength.

Hurry up and hurry up, and finally came to the main courtyard.

Ignoring the architectural layout here, Chu Qingyan was led all the way into a spacious room.

Along the way, she was already hungry and her eyes were dim, but as soon as she came into view, she saw the delicious and fragrant dishes, and Chu Qingyan's eyes lit up immediately.

And the moment Chu Qingyan entered the yard, Xiao Xu had already noticed it, but he didn't expect her to come in like this, salivating at the food in front of him.

"My lord, Miss Chu Jiu has arrived."

Hongyi's utterance brought Chu Qingyan back to her senses in an instant, she pretended to withdraw the look on her face quietly, and then turned to greet the people seated with a innocent and innocent smile, "Qingyan sees His Royal Highness King Ying .”

Anyone who sees Chu Qingyan's cute smile will soften their hearts. Even Hongyi thinks that Miss Chu Jiu has a cute and lovable appearance, but Xiao Xu doesn't buy it.

"Well, sit down." Xiao Xu picked up the chopsticks without even giving her a look.

so cold?Then why did you ask her to come over?
Chu Qingyan slandered in her heart, but sat down obediently and took the chopsticks handed over by the servant. She was obviously very hungry, but she didn't dare to move.

Following such a powerful piece of moving ice, I was almost frozen to death, how could I eat it?
But Chu Qingyan didn't know how shocked Huang Yi was when she came in with a meal. Her prince always ate alone, even if he was eating outside, he never sat with women. Today He didn't break a single case because of Chu Qingyan. She calmed down and looked at the women on the table carefully. Apart from being cute and delicate, she couldn't find any reason to make the lord angry. She wondered in her heart, could it be that Because this Chu Qingyan is too young?The prince felt pity?But it's not right either!
Xiao Xu didn't know the startled thoughts in the servant girl's mind, seeing Chu Qingyan sitting there awkwardly, he couldn't help frowning, did he wrong her for eating with him?

"Why don't you eat?"

The cold tone, coupled with the emotional depression at this time, shocked Chu Qingyan's heart, causing the chopsticks in her hands to become unstable, and fell to the table with a "crack".

Chu Qingyan was taken aback, it's over!
