first class maid

Chapter 56
Winnie smiled gently and said: "Don't refuse, Zhen'er, it's a good thing to be able to embroider robes for His Highness the Crown Prince." The Crown Prince is the number two person in the palace. In the past, this honor was only given to Xu You. go?

"Even Wen Dianzhi said that. Doesn't Xun Zhangzhi just have an excuse to run to the East Palace? Isn't this fulfilling Xun Zhangzhi's wish..." Jin Sizhi's words were full of sourness and sarcasm. She had also heard the rumors of the prince, and she scoffed at it at first, but now it seems to be true, this young court lady always takes shortcuts, which makes people feel contemptuous and jealous.

Jin Sizhi wanted to say some more sarcasm, but when he saw Xu You's eyes shooting at her fiercely like a sharp sword, he suddenly felt that he had lost his words, so he bent down and stood aside, not daring to pout again.

"Jin Sizhi, you are more than twice as old as Xun Zhen, why do you speak so rashly?" Xu You criticized unhurriedly, "It seems that I have to re-examine you."

"Master Shanggong, all his subordinates are being frivolous." Jin Sizhi hurriedly admitted his mistake.

Xu You stood up and walked around, looking at the silent Xun Zhen, she was worried about the rumors, but seeing that Xun Zhen didn't seem to have an affair with the prince, otherwise she wouldn't have turned down the job, With a little peace of mind, he knocked on the table, "Xun Zhangzhi, you can go to the East Palace later, don't keep the prince waiting too long, as for the winter clothes for the maids, don't say that the cloth hasn't arrived yet, if you arrive, you can order Zhuang Nu Shi Take charge, you need to take care of the dresses for the crown prince and the crown ceremony, other than these two things, leave the other chores to Wen Dianzhi, while Concubine Shu's Jin Sizhi is in charge..."

Seeing that Xu You had made up his mind and divided up the work, Xun Zhen knew that there was no room for rebuttal. Even if he hated the East Palace, he had to go there, and answered "Yes" with a wrinkled face.

This time Xun Zhen wisely took Zhuang Cui'e to the East Palace together. The ground was covered with golden fallen leaves along the way, and the low-ranking palace people were busy sweeping wine, and they could hear the sound of fallen leaves breaking when they passed by.

"Master Commander doesn't seem very happy? This is a good thing. I wonder how many people behind him are envious of Master Commander?" Zhuang Cui'e said with a little envy.

"I'd rather not have such a good thing." Xun Zhen sighed for the first time, and deliberately slowed down a little.

Zhuang Cui'e thinks that she is humble and praises her from the bottom of her heart, and getting carried away will only make more people jealous, but she doesn't know that every word she says comes from the bottom of her heart.

In front of the gate of the East Palace, Sun Datong was talking to Liu Xinmei, who was dressed in light pink, squinting at Xun Zhen's arrival, he hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, "Xun Zhangzhi is here?"

"Eunuch Sun." Xun Zhen called out, then glanced at Liu Xinmei, "Miss Liu."

There was slight displeasure between Liu Xinmei's eyebrows, but a smile soon appeared on her face, and she stepped forward to hold Xun Zhen's hand affectionately, and said with concern and tenderness: "Zhen'er, are you here to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" What a coincidence, His Highness is not in the East Palace."

Xun Zhen was a little uncomfortable with her enthusiasm, "Miss Liu is a golden branch and jade leaf, just call Xun Zhen, since His Highness is not in the East Palace, then I will wait..." She was about to find an excuse to leave.

But Sun Datong immediately smiled and said: "His Royal Highness is in the imperial study now, he asked me to wait for Xun to take charge of it, does Miss Liu have any instructions for me to report back to His Highness?"

This Liu Xinmei hadn't entered the East Palace yet, yet she acted like a hostess, even he felt slightly displeased.

Xun Zhenxin couldn't help cursing, but said with a faint smile on his face, "Then I'll go in and wait for Your Highness, is Miss Liu going back?"

Liu Xinmei secretly stared at Sun Datong, took Xun Zhen's hand and looked at Sun Datong with a smile, "Eunuch Sun, since His Highness the Crown Prince hasn't come back for a while, and Xun Zhen and I had an old relationship, I just took this opportunity to get together Gather, can you make it convenient for your father-in-law?"

"This..." Sun Datong was a little embarrassed, the reason why he was waiting here was to wait for Xun Zhen, not Liu Xinmei, but he was tactful and quickly said: "Then Miss Liu, please come in."

Liu Xinmei affectionately pulled Xun Zhen in.

Xun Zhen didn't know what she was going to say, so he followed her in without hesitation. It was the first time for her to come to the East Palace Hall.

The tea was served, Liu Xinmei and Xun Zhen were sitting together, like a pair of close friends in a boudoir.

"Why is Zhen'er so alienated from me?" Liu Xin said with a sad brow.

"Miss Liu is overthinking, Xun Zhen can't compare to Miss Liu." Xun Zhen said with a very calm expression.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to have a good impression of you, Xun Zhen. Xun Zhen, do you...do you also like Your Highness?" Liu Xiaomei asked, seemingly embarrassed, after blowing on the tea.

Xun Zhen originally just sat down with his eyes down, but when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head to look at her. It turned out that he was going around to ask her this question. He glanced at the girl Hanchun's appearance, her blush cheeks added to her beauty, and Liu Xinmei's childhood sweetheart Not as scheming as they are now, they got along quite well back then, but now Liu Xinmei is no longer what she was when she was a child.

"Miss Liu forgot, Xunzhen is a court lady, how could she have any thoughts about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?..."

"That's good." Liu Xinmei hurriedly held her hand, and smiled shyly, "I was a childhood playmate with you, and I won't hide it from you. I have a heart for the crown prince. Since you are really not interested in His Highness, please help me." Me, if I can get better in the future, I won’t lose out to Zhener, a high-ranking court lady is within easy reach..."

The crown prince treated Xun Zhen a little differently. Since Liu Xinmei had attached her heart to him, she was more concerned about his affairs. Kiss, this had to make her vigilant.

Xun Zhen felt uncomfortable hearing her say this, stood up and frowned and said: "Miss Liu is a phoenix among men, what can I do for the help of a court lady from Xun Zhen's district? Xun Zhen doesn't have such big ambitions..."

"Xun Zhen, why are you lying to me? I didn't want to say it. I saw the scene where you and the prince kissed by the lake that day. Xun Zhen, the reason why I remind you like this is for your own good. Besides, I will treat you with sincerity, and you will repay me like this?" Liu Xinmei was facing the palace door, saw the orange figure outside the door seemed to be stepping up the steps, and deliberately lowered her voice.
