Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 42

Chu Qingyan returned to her yard after suffering a thunderbolt from the blue sky. After she calmed down, her back was covered in cold sweat.

To be honest, today is considered a dangerous move. She is not a person who can't bear the pain, but in the palace of the King of England, she can't see the environment she is in. After all, what does Xiao Xu think of her? So even if she took the risk of pulling her beard in front of the tiger, she had to risk her life to see if he would take his anger out on her for this unsatisfactory marriage.

But I have to say that the results of the test made her a little puzzled. From his attitude, she felt that he seemed to regard her as a pet, teasing her when he got excited.

This feeling was very subtle, but she didn't feel any malice.

On the contrary, she rejected the suggestion he made today on the spot, but thinking about it now, if she really proposed it at that time, would he let her go and let her leave the palace?
The answer, she didn't know.

Chu Qingyan sighed lightly, since it is here, let it be at ease!

Finally letting go of this matter, Chu Qingyan stretched her waist, suddenly feeling empty in her stomach, at this moment, Xi Ning walked in with a plate.

Chu Qingyan smiled, it was really timely, but when she saw the things on the plate, she felt that she lost her appetite all of a sudden.

Seeing the twitching corners of his master's mouth, Xining couldn't help lowering his eyebrows, and said guiltily, "Master, this is all the servants have when they go to the kitchen to get food."

Stir-fried vegetables, steamed buns without skin, and porridge that was as thin as water.

Chu Qingyan pressed her forehead, waved her hand and said, "Leave it alone, for the poor people outside, this is already considered very good."

This was the first meal she ate without eating with Xiao Xu. She never thought that this would be the treatment she would receive as a future princess-to-be. The corner of her mouth twitched, forget it, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, she accepted this reason.

But when chewing the tasteless steamed buns, Chu Qingyan couldn't help thinking of the golden steamed buns made by Huang Yi, the chewiness, the softness, Chu Qingyan's saliva drools.

At this time, Xining watched his master eating, sadly but thankfully said, "Fortunately, the prince just told you not to have breakfast together, and you can still eat lunch and dinner in Yuxuan Courtyard, so the master doesn't have to eat these things." Hard to swallow food."

Only then did Chu Qingyan remember what Xiao Xu said to her when she was in Yuxuanyuan today, that she would be freed from her morning companion, but she must be there at other meal times. The name is to let her adapt to the current life as soon as possible, but Chu Qingyan couldn't understand how to adapt to this kind of life, but when she thought of his surroundings exuding cold air, she immediately nodded in agreement. Adaptation is very necessary. If one day she can't bear his low pressure and is caught What should I do if I am frozen?
Thinking of this, Chu Qingyan immediately rubbed the goose bumps on her arms.

After dinner, there was nothing else to do, so Chu Qingyan asked Xining to talk about the affairs of the palace.

In fact, Xi Ning has only been in the mansion for less than half a year, and because she is still young, she doesn't know much about the affairs of the palace, so Chu Qingyan learned a few things from her children's words, such as:

Seven-color big maid is Chu Qingyan’s general name for these seven-color maids, like Hongyi and Chengyi, who have been with the prince since they were young, and the other five are arranged to follow him intermittently, like Huang Yi is a generation of famous chefs Afterwards, because of her family's decline, she was sold into the palace, and because of her cooking, she was favored by the housekeeper and arranged into Yuxuanyuan.

And beside Xiao Xu, there was also the accompanying bodyguard, Gu Rong Gu Yi, who was arranged by Empress Liang five years ago to accompany him for protection.

Xiao Xu generally doesn't care about the affairs of the palace. The big and small things in the front yard are basically decided by the housekeeper, while Hongyi takes care of the back yard.

Chu Qingyan thought, it seems that Xiao Xu still attaches great importance to this big maid, Hongyi. After coming here for a few days, she also felt that although Hongyi was gentle and polite, she handled things with restraint, spoke with reason and evidence, and it was easy It is convincing, and I have to say that the ability is really quite good.

At this moment, Chu Qingyan was thinking, even though Xiao Xu didn't take concubines, there are a few beautiful maids in the yard, wondering if Xiao Xu can handle it?Or are you already indulging in the gentleness?Thinking of this, Chu Qingyan felt a little disgusted. She came from the present world and was educated in monogamy. She could not tolerate groups of wives and concubines in ancient times. She had a headache. What should she do if she saw Xiao Xu hugging other women in the future? How to behave?

But it seems that he exudes the aura that strangers should not enter, but does any woman dare to approach him?

Chu Qingyan shook her head, what does this have to do with her?She is only in her early ten years, so no matter how beastly he is, it is impossible for him to set his mind on her. Besides, there are still a few years away from Jiji, so maybe there will be variables in it!

Xi Ning was young, unable to hide his words, and happened to like this master, so he babbled on all morning, trying to tell his master everything he knew.

Seeing that his master was listening with gusto, Xining rolled his eyes, remembering what he heard in the kitchen today, and immediately poured out his thoughts.

"Master, this servant heard something about the prince today."

"What's the matter? Let's hear it." Chu Qingyan replied casually.

Xi Ning immediately lowered her voice and said, "I heard from Xiaocai in the kitchen that the reason why the prince didn't go to the morning court was because a minister in the court was found to be corrupt, and some people said that the minister had something to do with the prince. So His Majesty asked the prince to rest in the palace for the next few days, presumably to investigate this matter."

Chu Qingyan couldn't help sitting up straight when she heard the words. Corruption and bribery, in the eyes of the king, is a thorn in the side, not to be taken lightly, but how could Xiao Xu get involved in this matter?

That icy wolf-like figure appeared in front of his eyes, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like he would be in collusion with others?

But people cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured, so what if it is?

Chu Qingyan was forced to break into a cold sweat by this incident. If Xiao Xu was really found to be tainted, would she, a cheap concubine, also be implicated?

Therefore, it is false to ask for leave at home, but it is true to be investigated.

At this time, Xi Ning, who didn't know the seriousness of the matter, was still talking, "The prince is not such a person. Although he is unkind, doesn't like people to get close to him, is strict and cruel, but the servants don't believe that the prince will search for people's fat and anointing!"

Listening to Xining's loyal protector, Chu Qingyan wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and shook her head in her heart. No one can say for sure whether it is true or false in the officialdom, and it may be that it is easy to hide a hidden arrow, but it is hard to defend against it. After all, she has never been in contact with an officialdom where there is no gunpowder, so she can't agree with Xining's words.

And at this moment, Yuxuanyuan sent someone to summon him.

Chu Qingyan looked at the sun, and it was noon again.

She was going to meet that big ice cube again.

　Do you want to have a close contact between Caicai and Big Ice Cube?Regarding the corruption incident, Cai Cai still thinks that Big Ice Cube would not do such a thing rationally. It seems that Cai Cai already has a certain degree of confidence in Big Ice Cube's character.Big Ice Cube: She doesn't have confidence in me, but does she have confidence in you, a lazy cancer author?Go down and code!An'an broke into a cold sweat: Hey——
