Who says maids don't fall for the city

Chapter 4 Momo Qinghan goes to the small building (1)
Hearing the sound, the woman didn't even look away at all.With a smile on the corner of Shizi's mouth, he took a sip of his tea.

Gathering his mind, he took the tray from Shun'er and walked to the pear-blossom table, and put the side dishes one by one.

"If Lin Lang likes to take it." The prince agreed, and saw that the woman's eyebrows and eyes were like a blooming peach blossom, which was beyond words.

I turned my head slightly and pretended to glance at it casually - sure enough, it was the sachet I made for him last month.

Suddenly there was an inexplicable feeling in my heart, like when someone gave you a glass of water when you were about to die of thirst, but after you drank it, he told you that there was arsenic in the water.

He kept arranging the food with his hands and feet, bowed to the prince and the girl, turned around and left holding the tray.Before he reached the door, his arm was suddenly grabbed by someone, and there was a faint pain.I was startled, and when I turned around, I saw that girl named Lin Lang was looking at me with raised eyebrows, with a bad expression on her face.

I was stunned for a while, unable to respond, I could only stare blankly at her.

Seeing me looking directly at her, Lin Lang raised her eyebrows even higher, and two clusters of flames appeared in her eyes, as if she was angry that her identity was offended.

The sudden force and temperature on my shoulders made my mind clear, I hurriedly lowered my head, stared at the tip of my shoe, not daring to move.

"What's wrong with Lin Lang?" Shizi's laughter came from beside his ears.

Lin Lang frowned slightly: "Why does she have the same floral scent as this sachet?"

Shun'er took a step forward, and hurriedly replied: "Princess, this sachet was made by Sister Qing'er for the son to prevent heatstroke..." But his voice dropped instantly.

"Brother Yu, why didn't you let him finish?" Lin Lang asked in his ear.Then he turned to me again, "Who the hell are you?" There was anger in his voice.

It turned out to be a princess, no wonder she has such a noble air and such a temper.

Sighing in the bottom of my heart, Fu got down. "Back to the princess, the servant girl is the servant girl of Prince Yi's mansion, responsible for the food and daily life of the son."

"It turned out to be a maid," Lin Lang muttered.

"Does Lin Lang care too much?" Shi Zi snorted coldly.

Linlang's face froze for a moment, and then forced a smile, and stuffed the sachet into my hand indiscriminately.She laughed and said, "Since it's made by a maid, then I don't want it. Brother Yu won the dragon and phoenix of the emperor today, why don't you show Lin Lang."

While she let go of my hand, I hastily walked a few steps back out.Holding the sachet in his hand was like holding a fire stick, which burned his skin to pieces.He took a small hoe and walked under the peach blossom tree in the backyard, and hurriedly buried the sachet.

Looking back, I saw Aunt Zhao standing under the eaves, looking at me with eyes like water.

Embarrassed laugh twice.

She walked up to me, her voice flat. "My son is the phoenix in the sky."

I nodded.

She said again: "The princess is the matching phoenix."

I nodded again, signaling understanding.

She continued to stand, for a long while, took a deep look at me, turned around and left after sighing.

I was horrified by this gaze, which seemed to be full of pity, love, and anger.I can't figure it out.

Back in the room, I turned out the sachet I made earlier, looked at it carefully for a while, and put it in my arms.

A touch of yellowish green in the corner of the room came into sight, and I suddenly remembered that today was the day when that person met, and I wondered if he really went.But it should be just a joke, after all, we just met by chance.

My head is dizzy, there are indeed too many things today, and it makes me feel tired.He took off his shoes and lay on the bed with his clothes on his side. He closed his eyes and fell asleep at some point.

When I woke up, it was late at night, the heat had dissipated, and the air was cold.What I ate at night has already been digested, and I am hungry again.Put on your shoes and head all the way to the kitchen.I found some leftover snacks to fill my stomach, and as soon as I went out, the moonlight was shining like a flower, lightly pouring down.A kind of nostalgia suddenly rose in my heart, yearning for this beautiful moonlight.It is obviously out of reach, but it always feels close by.When I stretch out my hand, I still can only hold a touch of light in my hand, leaving loneliness.

I was about to go back to the room, but there was always a voice in my head clamoring again.After hesitating for a moment, he still decided to follow his own heart and go to the ovary.

After entering the door, he walked lightly to the side of the bed, reached into his bosom for a long time, and took out the sachet he made today.The base material is as white as snow, coupled with the complicated and delicate peach blossoms, it is so beautiful under the moonlight.

Looking down at Shizi, even the moonlight in the garden could not match his beauty.

After thinking about it, he put the sachet beside his pillow, turned around and left.

After waking up early, he brought water for Shizi to wash, and tied his hair behind his head with a white silk ribbon.

While he was busy, a soft sentence came from his ear: "Father is coming back."

I was shocked, and I was overjoyed immediately, and said with a smile: "That's great, the prince has been away for three years, and now that he is back, it happens to be a family reunion."

He gave a soft "huh".

Perhaps because my life was saved by the prince, I regarded him as my father from the bottom of my heart since I was a child.And the lord is also very good to me, even compared to the prince.Although I am a girl, but because of the high regard of the prince, everyone in the house regards me as a half-master, and even the concubine never beats or scolds easily.Now hearing that the prince is about to return from the border, I am very happy.

Serve the prince for breakfast, and then collect all the washing things.Just as he was about to retreat, he saw Yue Shao came in shaking his fan.

"It's rare for you to be early today, can you have breakfast?" The prince said with a smile.

Yue Shao shook his head and sat beside Shizi, I hurriedly took a pair of bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of him.

"Brother Yu, have you heard?" He ate unceremoniously, talking while eating, with a mysterious and funny expression on his face.

Shizi looked sideways at him, "What's new?"

I took my things back, walked out the door, and faintly heard a voice behind me, "I heard that the third child was tricked yesterday, in Liuyun Pavilion..."

He stopped suddenly and held his breath to listen carefully, but he couldn't hear anything.

Thinking back to what I just heard, Liuyunting, could it be him?Who is the third child?He knew Shi Zi and Yue Shao...

My mind was filled with my own guesswork, and I had a splitting headache.When I felt like my head was about to explode, I finally gave up thinking and turned back to the kitchen to think about what kind of dishes the prince should prepare when he comes back.

But on the day when the prince returned to court, the Holy Majesty held a grand banquet in Qiande Palace, and all the masters of the mansion were announced into the palace.Fortunately, all the maids and servants got a good meal.

After eating and drinking enough, I directed the girl to pack up all the things, and was about to go back to the room to rest, but Aunt Zhao came to find me.

"Auntie, what's the matter?" Seeing her pulling me into the corner, I was a little puzzled.

She lowered her head and whispered in my ear: "My lord wants you to go to the study."

Although I didn't understand why she was so secretive, I nodded obediently and replied: "Got it."

After coming out of Shizi's courtyard, he went straight to the study room. The man guarding the door was Uncle Zhao who had been with the prince for decades, that is, Aunt Zhao's husband.

He smiled warmly at me, then opened the door and let me in.

Walking into the study, the prince stood behind the desk writing.Seeing me coming in, he put down the brush in his hand and walked towards me with a smile.

"My lord." I saluted.

"Don't be too polite."

Hearing this, I stood up, lowered my head slightly, and stood respectfully.

The prince stood still in front of me, carefully looked at me from head to toe, after a while, he said with a smile: "Qing'er has become a big girl too, I haven't seen you for three years, and she has such a relationship with me." There was a hint of loneliness in his voice.

I hurriedly raised my head to explain, but saw the prince looking at me with a smile on his face, his eyes were loving, how could he feel lonely at all!
Seeing that I was fooled, the prince burst out laughing.I didn't stop until I was about to get angry.

"How has Qing'er been these three years?" The prince stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of my head, like his own daughter.

I smiled slightly and said: "Qing'er is doing well, the prince doesn't have to worry about it."

He nodded, as if reassured. "It's fine if you're good."

Suddenly he seemed to remember something, smiled at me, turned around and picked up a bundle from the couch in the room and handed it to me.

"This is a gift that the king bought for you in the past three years. Qing'er will go back and open it later to see if he likes it." After speaking, he asked me about the situation in the mansion and my life in the past three years.When I was done talking, I asked Uncle Zhao to take me back.I hastily declined, and went back to the yard with my burden.

After returning to the room, he turned on the lamp, put the bundle on the table and opened it carefully.As soon as it caught the eye, it was a water-green long dress with a pure white tube top, tassels around the waist, and white lace on the cuffs, which seemed to be the finishing touch, embellishing the whole skirt beautifully.The skirt is embroidered with clear lotus flowers, clean and elegant.

With an admiration from the bottom of my heart, I put the skirt away carefully.Looking again, I saw a bright red chain lying in the burden.

Put the chain in your palm and look closely, only to find that it is made of red beans connected in series.Red beans are small and cute, lying in the palm of your hand like a cute kitten, which makes people love it.

I am very happy to have harvested these two treasures today.After putting away the things, he fetched water and went to wait for the prince to go to bed.

He stood in the yard and didn't move when he saw me coming, but just looked at me coldly.

I felt guilty when he saw it, but after thinking about it carefully, I didn't remember any mistakes I made.So I dared to look at him.

His eyes froze for a moment, and after a while, he said coldly: "Did you go to the prince's study just now?"

My mind froze, and I answered intuitively: "Yes."

He tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Did you take something?"

My heart suddenly cleared up, no wonder his face was so ugly, it turned out that it was because I took things from the prince.Although I like the clothes and the chain very much, if he wants it, then...just give it to him.

"If you want it, I'll go get it." I said in a muffled voice.

He paused, then glared at me extremely angrily, and walked away.I hurriedly followed him with a copper basin in my hand, but he refused to speak any more, which made me wonder if I had guessed wrongly what he meant.Seeing that he didn't express his opinion, the two things continued to lie in my box.

In the next few days, Shizi also became busy.Every day, I followed the prince to the morning court, and when I came back from the court, the prince left him in the study to talk about things.

Although I feel distressed, there is no other way, so I have to start with the diet and try my best to take care of the son's diet.This care made Aunt Zhao's complexion a little darker, and she only looked at me and sighed every day.

One night, as soon as I returned to my room to rest, Aunt Zhao came to the door.

Although I was a little strange, I still welcomed her into the door.

Ask aloud: "Auntie, why doesn't she rest at this late hour?"

She sighed again, and then pulled me to sit on the edge of the bed.He held my right hand in his hand and patted it lightly.

It took a while to speak, "Qing'er, you will be sixteen this year, right?"

I nodded.

"My aunt was already married and had children when she was your age."

I nodded again, not knowing what she was going to do.

Aunt Zhao hesitated for a while, then gritted her teeth, took out a book from her bosom and stuffed it into my bosom. "Look carefully, and tell aunt if you like it." After speaking, he got up and rushed out of the room, disappearing into the night.

I stared blankly at the already empty night, then lowered my head and looked at the things in my arms.He picked it up and opened the first page, and it turned out to be a handsome young man. On the other side, he also indicated his family background, height, weight, hobbies and other information.A quick look at the following content, but it's all the same thing.

Smiling helplessly, he threw the booklet at the corner of the bed.

In the next few days, I would hide from Aunt Zhao if I could, for fear that she would force me to choose one of the books if she caught me.

I vaguely understand why my aunt did this, but I would rather not think about it.On the day when I really can't escape, I might be able to make a clean choice.

The cool wind blew over the temples, blowing the broken hair on the forehead.I took a deep breath of the coolness after the rain, and continued to head towards the princess' yard.

"Sister Jiangruo, what is the princess looking for me for?"

Jiang Ruo turned slightly to the side, smiled and shook her head.

I was puzzled, but looking at Jiang Ruo's expression, it shouldn't be a big deal.So he lowered his head and followed her.

When I came to the door of the concubine's room, Jiang Ruo went in to make an announcement, and then called me into the room.

As soon as I entered the door, I saluted the princess, and the princess hurriedly called Jiang Ruo to help me.I thanked respectfully, then bowed my head and stood quietly.

"Qing'er, will it be your 16th birthday in a few days?" Wang Hao asked softly.

I replied: "Back to the princess, yes."

The princess smiled, put down the teacup in her hand and walked in front of me.Reaching out and lifting my chin, I took a closer look.

"I still remember that you were just a little girl when I first entered the mansion. I never thought that Qing'er would also be a little beauty in the blink of an eye."

The words were a bit frivolous, and I was displeased in my heart, but I didn't dare to show anything, I just lowered my head slightly, as if shy.

The concubine put down her hands, "It's strange to say that the prince only has a child like Yu'er, but he treats you better than him."

I was terrified in my heart, and hurriedly said: "That is the kindness of the prince and princess. Seeing that Qing'er is an orphan, I have pity on Qing'er."

She stretched out her hand to help me, and said with a smile: "I was just talking casually, so I scared you like this." The conversation changed, "The prince told me yesterday that you didn't give you a good job when you got married last year. Make up for it this year."

I didn't even dare to say, the princess waved her hand, and continued: "Anyway, you grew up in the palace, and you are considered half of our child, which is what you should do. Let Jiang Ruo call you here today, it is I want to tell you about this matter. I have asked Aunt Zhao to take care of it for you, and set up a few banquets in the backyard for everyone to have fun together. Just think about it again, and if you want anything, just tell Aunt Zhao .”

Tears welled up in my eyes, the princess smiled and patted my hand when she saw this, and said: "Just keep our goodwill in mind, the prince will marry you off as a daughter in the future, and you can go back to your mother's house whenever you want." Look."

My heart suddenly became cold, and I quickly lowered my head to cover the expression on my face.He choked up and said: "Qing'er understands, Qing'er will never forget the kindness of the prince and concubine to Qing'er."

The princess nodded and let me go back to rest.

Coming out of the house, he raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.A rainbow appeared in the sky, and seven different lights intertwined with each other.It's like a dream, I don't know how long it will take to walk, and how hard it will take to touch such beauty.

Walking out of the courtyard, I happened to meet Shi Zi and Shun Er rushing to the prince's study, suddenly felt sour in my heart, I hurriedly lowered my head and took a deep breath.Seeing me coming out of the Queen's courtyard, the two of them stopped.Shizi waved Shun'er to wait where he was, then walked up to me and stood still, watching carefully for a while.

Caught off guard, he raised his chin. I closed my eyes and didn't speak.His breath sprayed gently on my face, warm as the sun.I just felt that the soreness in my heart was getting worse, and my eyes were warm.

Suddenly, there was warmth on his face.He reached out and stroked the corner of my eye gently. "What's wrong?"

It was as if something suddenly fell to the ground in my heart, and the hesitation in my mind disappeared in an instant.The dark clouds in my heart were dispelled by the sun, emitting a beautiful light like a rainbow.

I opened my eyes and saw the worry on his face.

Shaking his head, he said firmly, "It's okay."

Shizi nodded, looked at me for a long time, and suddenly said: "If I knew it earlier, why bother?"

"Huh?" I froze for a moment, not understanding what he was talking about.

He let out a sigh and left with Shun'er.Leave me scratching my head.

In the evening, Aunt Zhao came to my room to discuss the menu.I picked up a few dishes that everyone loves to eat and told her.Finally, she asked me if there was anything I wanted in particular.

I thought about it carefully, and found that I had no worries about food or clothing, so I shook my head.Aunt Zhao nodded her head to make it clear, she got up and went.

I didn't let out a long breath until she disappeared from sight.I was always worried that she would ask me which family I was interested in, but I didn't expect that she didn't even mention it.Another heavy stone in my heart was put down.

In the blink of an eye, it was the third day of September. After the day's work was over, everyone set up a few banquet tables in the backyard.Since they are all servants, there are not so many rules, so they all find their own seats.I received many things, such as bracelets, porcelain bowls, wooden hairpins, etc. Although they were not worth a lot of money, they were a gift from everyone.

Before the banquet started, Uncle Zhao wandered over and said a few words of blessing on behalf of the prince, and was dragged to sit down by me again.Just as he was about to move his chopsticks, he saw the three young masters swaying over.

One was shaking a folding fan with a personable demeanor.A tall man with a beautiful face.A gentle smile, like a spring breeze.

Everyone hurriedly got up to pay their respects, and after saluting, they sat down again.I hastily vacated three seats at the main table, and asked the eldest son, young master Yue and the second young master to sit down.

Young master Yue and the second son both handed me gifts, and I hurriedly got up to thank them.But Shao Yue laughed and said, "Brother Yu, where are your things?"

Looking at Shizi in a blink of an eye, he picked up a glass of wine and took a sip, "I'll be here later."

I was a little curious about what he would give me, but I was too embarrassed to ask, so I sat down to eat.After a while, everyone seemed to have made an appointment, and took turns to toast.I'm happy today, so I don't give in, so I'll have a drink.After a few glasses of wine, my mind became dizzy.

The second son frowned slightly, and put a chopstick dish into my bowl. "Eat more vegetables, don't hurt your stomach."

Hearing his concern, I looked up and grinned at him.He froze for a moment, lowered his head slightly, stretched out his chopsticks into the soup bowl and put them in his mouth.

"Qinger"

"Ah" I turned my head to look at Shi Zi, two or three figures flashed in my eyes, and I couldn't tell which one was real.Wei Wei is a little confused, and wants to reach out to determine which one is the entity.He stopped the hand that I stretched out, gently held it in his hand, and pulled me to stand up.The other hand pointed to the sky in the south, "Look at it".

I looked up, and there were dense stars scattered on the lonely and vast sky, twinkling and twinkling, as clean and pure as a child's eyes.

Suddenly there was a sound of "咻" through the air, and a ray of light went straight into the night, and stopped suddenly in mid-air.

"burst"

The light spread out, like a peach blossom, divided into petals in the sky.As the peach blossoms dissipated, the sky suddenly became quiet.But immediately, there were countless voices and countless fireworks.

The cheers of the crowd came from their ears. They watched the fireworks, listened to the sound, and danced.

The dazzling light forced my tears out.

"Do you like it?" The voice came into my head, and I looked at the whole illuminated sky, my heart seemed to be soaked in honey, too sweet to speak.Can only keep nodding.

Turning his head to look at Cheng Yu, his expression was obscured by the fireworks.I made up my mind and said my mind word by word.

"I like it very much." Tears flowed out with the voice, blurring his vision.
