Who says maids don't fall for the city

Chapter 18
When I was about to cry, I stood up straight in embarrassment, and looked around in a blink of an eye, and saw the military master who had led me here just now looked at me dumbfounded, with a face full of disbelief.My face became hotter, I lowered my head, looking at my own shadow.

The prince glanced at Jun Ye lightly, and he backed away in panic.

"Qing'er is hungry. It just so happens that they brought up some food. Come in and have some food." The prince smiled and led me into the house behind him.Sure enough, there were meals on the table, simple yet delicate.After I saw the prince sitting down, I also sat down next to the lower head, and saw him move the chopsticks, so I picked up the chopsticks and started eating slowly.

Seeing that I was eating happily, the prince put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said: "Xunfang wrote me a few letters, saying that you are doing well in your husband's house, so let me rest assured. I thought I sent you off to marry, and the big stone in my heart also It's a let down, but I didn't expect such twists and turns." The Xunfang he was talking about was the princess.

"Chengfeng is also a child at heart, and he dared to do such a thing. Don't worry, I will seek justice for you when I return to Luoyang."

Hearing what he said, I just remembered that Cheng Feng was pretty good to me, if the prince really went to teach him a lesson, I don't know what troubles would happen if he loses his temper.Just about to say "no need", but the prince said: "Xunfang is the same, he didn't look at his own status, but did such an impolite thing. It seems that life is too leisurely!" The prince's tone suddenly I was taken aback by the sternness.

She stared at him blankly, speechless.

Seeing that Xu Shi was frightening me, the prince quickly softened his face and said with a smile: "I'm just talking, you don't have to take it to heart."

Thinking about it, no matter how much he loves me, he will never embarrass his nephew and wife for a maid.Thinking about it this way, his expression became a little gloomy, and his appetite decreased a lot.Hastily finished the rest of the rice in the bowl, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and smiled at the prince: "My lord, where is the prince? He is not used to this closed place. I just came and can take care of him." .”

Hearing this, the prince was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Not busy, he is doing very well. But you must have worked hard all the way. Why don't you take a rest first."

I smelled myself, smiled wryly, and said, "Yes, I think it's time for me to change my clothes."

The prince smiled, called the maid to lead me to the backyard, and found a room to live in.I saw that the servant girl had a kind face, she must be easy to get along with, so I felt a lot more relaxed.Along the way, he constantly tightened his relationship with her, knowing that her name is Ziling, and she is a native of Mocheng.This year is nineteen, a few years older than me.

"Sister Ziling, do you know where the eldest son lives?" I asked with a smile.She thought I was a man, and kept a few steps away from me, always paying attention to whether I had any irregularities.

She didn't want to either, she pointed to the front and said: "Go straight from here, then turn left, go straight and then turn right and you will be there." Seeing that I was a little confused, she smiled and said: "Young master, don't worry, the room the prince arranged for you We are in the same courtyard with Shi Ziye, so it is not difficult to see each other."

I was even happier when I heard that, and asked Miss Ziling one by one about the way to the house and who else was there.Therefore, I also know that in addition to the prince and the son, there are three lieutenants Yang Ming, Song Zhiyun and Liu Qingwen in the main mansion.Mocheng originally had officials in charge of affairs, but since the prince has been stationed here, the affairs in the city have basically been handled by an aide named Mo Yao next to the prince.Over time, that official position was also cancelled.

"However", Zi Ling frowned suddenly, and said worriedly: "The past two days, the son is not in a good mood, you should be careful, and don't walk around in the yard." After a pause, he continued: "Especially the son In the room next to the room, a girl lived in yesterday, it seems that she is very precious to the prince, the son must not rush against it."

Although she was kind, I really didn't appreciate her words, so I didn't thank her either.Zi Ling may also see that I am not very happy. Although she can't figure out my identity, she can roughly understand that I am not someone she can offend, so she is more cautious in her words and deeds , no more words.

After finding his own house, he asked Zi Ling to fetch water for bathing, and then he started tidying up the room by himself, making plans for a long-term stay.Not long after, Ziling brought several small servants to bring several buckets of hot water, filled the buckets and retreated together.

"Miss Ziling stay behind!" I hurriedly called out.

Zi Ling stared blankly at me, but the other servants bent over and backed out with weird smiles on their faces.

I smiled embarrassedly: "Sister Ziling, please find me a maid's attire."

There was a moment of confusion in her eyes, and then doubts gradually emerged, and she stared at me up and down.I didn't hide, I just looked at her.After a while, it was she who blushed first and stepped back in response.But after a while, I found the same clothes as she was wearing, mainly blue and white, although simple, but also elegant and clean.

I took off my gown and submerged myself in the water.Having not seen Cheng Yu yet, he felt a little anxious, so he didn't delay too much, after washing himself quickly, he got up to dry himself, and changed into his dress.

After leaving the room, he went straight to Cheng Yu's room, knocked on the door, but no one answered.After thinking about it, I still pushed the door open.The room was empty, and it seemed that Cheng Yu was not used to treating this place as his own.

With a helpless smile, he tidied up the bed and wardrobe that the maid had already tidied up according to Cheng Yu's habit. Finally, he picked up the teapot on the table and wanted to make a pot of tea for Cheng Yu, so that he could drink it when he came back.

When I walked out the door, I saw Ziling knocking on my door with a plate of snacks, so I called out with a smile, "Sister Ziling."

She turned around, but the smile on her face froze the moment she saw me, she stared blankly at me, moved her lips, but said nothing.

I walked up to her quickly and called her again, only then did she regain her senses.He looked at my face in embarrassment.

He raised the teapot and motioned to her, "Sister Ziling, where is the kitchen? I want to make a pot of tea."

After all, she is a native of Mocheng who grew up in the wind and sand. In a few words, she has figured out the context of the whole thing, and pointed at it very naturally, "Go straight from here and then turn left, and you will see it." Tray, "I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I brought some food. Why don't you eat something before you go."

I shook my head, "Qing'er, thank you Sister Ziling, I just ate some with the prince just now, and my stomach is still full. If I eat hard, I'm afraid it will be ruined. It's better to have some activities."

Zi Ling was also sensible, and was not displeased by my refusal.He just nodded and said: "Then you go quickly, I will call you when you have dinner, and I will wait for you to get familiar with the surroundings."

I thanked her slightly, and walked out of the yard with her, separated on one left and one on the right.

After brewing tea, he returned to Cheng Yu's room and sat there for a long time, but he still didn't come back, so he felt a little irritable.His chest was getting tighter and tighter, he walked to the window and opened it, looked at the stone tables and benches in the yard, and was in a daze for a while.

A gust of wind blows, and the fragrance enters the nostrils.

Suddenly remembered that this smell seemed to have been asked in the Imperial Garden, it was plum fragrance.It's just that the fashion is hot summer, so I'm not sure.I only thought that maybe it was the breath of some kind of flowers and trees that I didn't know.But then I smelled it again in Happy City.After thinking about it, I thought it was the smell of that peerless beauty.

Turning her head to the left, Zi Ling said that the woman lived there.

Cheng Yu didn't let people in easily.

After thinking about it, he closed the window, turned around and walked to the door of the woman's room.He reached out and knocked on the door, but no one answered.Zi Ling didn't say that she was able to get up and walk, but presumably she was still asleep.

Fu went to the kitchen again and boiled a pot of water, poured it into a copper basin and brought it up.Put the basin on the ground, and gently open the door, the window inside is opened at a corner, which is convenient for ventilation and makes the room look brighter.

When I looked straight at it, I was facing a screen.

Walk in with light steps first, walk around the screen, and at a glance, you can see the purple gauze curtain hanging down, with a faint figure lying in it.Walk slowly over, roll up the gauze curtain on one side, and you will see the delicate face of the woman.

Her eyes were closed, her eyelashes curled up, and the light from the window cast a slight shadow on her face, looking extremely pitiful.There is a bruised bruise on his forehead, but it appears to have been medicated and appears to be healing.Her black hair was scattered on the pillow and quilt, and against her fair face, it made people feel even more dazzled.

I looked at her carefully for a while, and saw that she was sleeping soundly. Although it is already autumn, she is in the room all day long, so it is inevitable that it will be stuffy.So he brought warm water in, put it beside the bed, sat on his knees, wet the cloth towel and wrung it dry, and wiped her face, neck and hands.

She uttered a shallow moan in her sleep, which startled me. I looked at it intently, but my eyes were still closed.So relax.

After wiping it carefully, thinking to make her more comfortable, he took the basin and planned to change it for a basin of water.Remembering that there was still a lot of water left, and the coming and going was fast, so I didn't even close the door, and walked away quickly.

When he came back, as soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, he heard Cheng Yu's reprimand.

"I said that idlers are not allowed to come in, but now you don't even close the door, you are so brave." He said angrily, but his tone was still calm, which made people feel even more frightened.

Zi Ling's weak voice of defense sounded: "My lord, this, this is not a slave..." Before she could finish her sentence, Cheng Yu made a decision.

"Anyway, it's your fault that you didn't do a good job. The main mansion doesn't support idlers. Go to the accountant today and pay the money."

"Master..." Zi Ling's voice was already crying.

Hearing that she was being punished for my mistake, I was startled. I took a few steps to the door and saw two people standing in front of the bed through the screen. Collapsing fast.

Sighing unconsciously, he looked up at Cheng Yu. "Master, I opened the door and it has nothing to do with others."

Cheng Yu's body shook, but before he could respond, Zi Ling turned to look at me, although she couldn't see her face clearly, she knew she was full of gratitude.

Helplessly smiled, I was the one who caused the disaster, and now I just admit it, but it seems that I have sold her favor.

Seeing that Cheng Yu didn't speak, Zi Ling also thought that there might be some connection between us.So he blessed his body, bowed his head and retreated.He smiled softly as he passed me by.

After lifting the basin for a long time, his arms were already a little sore, but Cheng Yu kept silent.I was a little annoyed, so I simply carried it in and walked in.When he came to the bed, he wiped the woman's face again as he did before.

When I looked up by chance, I saw Cheng Yu looking straight at me with an indistinguishable expression.

"Why are you here?" After a while, he finally asked such a sentence.I was angry for a moment, didn't he care about what happened to me, how I traveled all the way to Mocheng, all he thought about was why I came to disturb him, the beauty in his arms?
With a muffled snort, "Come and see if the son is well."

He frowned, "I'm already a wife, why are you still so self-willed? You are a husband-in-law, do you just let you mess around like this?"

The tip of my nose was sour, and my voice couldn't help but grow louder.He snorted coldly and said, "My lord has a good look. Could it be that you can't see that Qing'er hasn't tied up her hair yet?" There was a pain in her heart, and tears fell, plopping and puffing on the brocade quilt. "Qing'er is not so lucky to find a good husband, even when she gets into the sedan chair, many troubles can happen. I'm afraid I will have to live alone in this life, and stop thinking about other things."

Sobbing, he threw the cloth towel in his hand, as if to use this matter to vent.

There was silence save for my sobs.

Suddenly feeling warm behind me, Cheng Yu wrapped his arms around me and sighed to himself. "I heard people say that a son named Ji Qing'er came here. I thought it was you, but I also thought it was unlikely. But I didn't expect you to come, it seemed like a dream. We grew up together For one thing, I regard you as my younger sister, I am both happy and sad that you are getting married, now that you are back, then everything will be forgotten."

He said good things, but not what I like to hear.

I don't know if he heard someone say about me being robbed by Chengfeng and rejected by the princess, but he didn't mention it, and I didn't want to make fun of myself, so I just pretended to bury my nose and tears on him.

Rubbing in his arms like a kitten, she took a breath, and suddenly remembered that she hadn't looked at him for a long time.So he raised his head suddenly, but his lips brushed against his chin.

When I was stunned, Cheng Yu was also shocked.After a while, he patted my shoulder, "Okay, I'm afraid I'm going to go blind if I cry any more." His tone was flat, as if nothing happened.

I thought that since he doesn't mind, then I can't be too hypocritical.He nodded and stood up against the edge of the bed.

When I lowered my head, I saw the woman on the bed staring at us blankly with a pair of autumn eyes.I was suddenly embarrassed, and my face turned red.I don't know what she saw just now, if she was wrong, how should she explain it?

But obviously my worries are superfluous, Cheng Yu will always be smarter than me.He bent down, smiled and said: "Leng Xiang, have you slept enough?" She was still a little dazed, and when her slightly hostile eyes turned from me to Cheng Yu, they turned into grievances.

Chu Chu smiled: "Well, I feel a little sore from sleeping."

Cheng Yu's gaze shifted, and he reached out to help her up. "Then get up and take a walk. It just so happens that the weather is fine today. I'll take you to the garden to bask in the sun." Helping her sit up, he realized the difference between men and women.Slightly turned to look at me: "Qing'er, help Leng Xiang get dressed, I'll wait for you outside the door."

My blessed body: "Yes."

After Cheng Yu walked around the screen, I leaned over to meet Leng Xiang's eyes, and said softly: "Miss Leng Xiang, I will serve you." Her movements were a little stiff, and she waved her hand, "No, I can do it myself .” While speaking, he rolled over and got out of bed, as if he wanted to prove that his words were true.But just as her feet hit the ground, her body shook for a while, as if she was a little dizzy.I hurriedly helped her up, "The girl was injured, and she has been lying here for a long time, and she may be weak for a while. Let the slaves come."

She also understood that she had no strength, so she nodded and said, "Thank you, Miss Qing'er."

I folded my body and opened the closet, and there were many clothes neatly arranged inside, not thin or thick, just suitable for autumn wear, and they looked brand new, I think they were newly made.He took out a lotus-colored long dress, waited for Leng Xiang to put it on, helped her to sit in front of the dressing table, picked up a wooden comb, and made her a hairstyle that is popular among girls in Luoyang City, and then applied some blush , his complexion looked much better.

For a short period of time, she was also looking for something to say.

"I think Miss Qing'er seems to have a kind face. I don't know where I saw it?" She held a pair of earrings and asked while playing.

I respectfully said: "A few days ago, my servant and concubine Yi went to the palace to visit the Queen Mother, and had a relationship with the girl in the imperial garden." After a pause, I continued: "Young lady can call me Qinger, if you add The word "girl" is just killing slaves."

She smiled sweetly: "Then you can also call me Leng Xiang. I am just a court lady, and I also serve people." She hesitated for a while, and Ai Ai asked: "Qing'er, you, have you known Yu Shao for a long time?"

It turns out that I have been going around for a long time because I want to know this.

With a thought, there was an unpredictable smile on his face, and he said vaguely: "Yes, it has been a long time. The son and the servant grew up together. Although there is a natural and deep affection between them, it is not as good as the girl and the master. After all, she is a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman, and they are perfectly matched when they stand together." She asked me to call her Leng Xiang, but I just found these two words extremely difficult to say, so I still called her a girl.

Although the second half of what I said was to please her, it was obvious that she only listened to the first half.I was in a trance for a while.

Pushing open the door, Cheng Yu stood with his back.Hearing the sound, he looked back and smiled: "Why so long?" His smile was as bright as the sun, and it dazzled my eyes for a while.The peach blossom eyes are shining brightly, and the teeth are shining white like pearls. It is really a waste to be born a man.

I smiled and said, "Naturally, my daughter's house needs to be dressed up, and it's inevitable that it will take some time." I turned to look at Leng Xiang, "I've never seen someone as beautiful as Miss Leng Xiang, what is it?" Can’t get enough of it.”

Leng Xiang blushed and lowered her head slightly.

Cheng Yu said: "In the future, there will be time to take a look at it slowly, let's go for a walk first."

I waved my hand: "Master, I'll go with Miss Lengxiang. I don't know how long I'm going to stay in Mocheng this time. I'll go and get familiar with the environment first, so I can do things conveniently." After saying that, Fushen stepped back.

Although I don't want them to be together, why bother to be ignorant when they are in love.I have read some dramas before, and I probably know some things about men and women.A relationship that goes smoothly doesn't last long, it needs some resistance to thrive, so I should try not to irritate them.

I went back to my own room to tidy up my clothes and other things, and then lay on the couch to rest for a while, but fell asleep in a daze at some point.

Woke up by Zi Ling at night.

The prince didn't know whether he didn't know or didn't want to ask, but he didn't mention anything like Leng Xiang who didn't come in the mansion.Cheng Yu would not speak out by himself, so both father and son remained silent.
