Chapter 303
As if he didn't notice Pearl's sizing up, Ye Xinyi gently shook the flower and bird fan in his hand, and asked with a smile, "In this weather, it only rained last night, and I just felt cooler, and the sun came up again in a blink of an eye. It's getting hot again. In this weather, it's hard for Aunt Pearl to make another trip, but does the imperial concubine have any orders?"

This is to ask her why she came.

Pearl lowered her eyes halfway, and said softly, "It's not a big deal. It's because of the hot weather these days that the imperial concubine's body is a little tired, and she doesn't eat and sleep well. The princess is filial, and it's okay to be around the palace. So I fiddled with some food myself, and those pastries were actually very good. The princess was thinking about Mrs. Shen, so she made another portion and sent it to Mrs. Shen, and let Mrs. Shen taste it."

at this time?Give her pastries?Moreover, it was either sent by Chan'er, but this Aunt Pearl, who is trusted by Concubine Xie Guifei, was alarmed?Ye Xinyi's hand holding the round fan paused slightly, but there was no sign on his face, he still smiled and said, "Thank you, the imperial concubine and the princess, for thinking about it."

Ye Xinyi's expression was as usual, but Pearl's hibiscus face was a little stiff, and all kinds of emotions turned and tangled, which made her face distorted for a moment. She bit her lower lip tightly, seemingly hesitant, and seemed uneasy. Finally, he gritted his teeth hard, slid off the chair without any explanation, and knelt down in front of Ye Xinyi.

Ye Xinyi was taken aback, and said in surprise, "Aunt Pearl, what are you doing? Hurry up and get up." Like Pearl, a maid in charge of the first palace who is reused in front of the lord of the first palace, both internal and external, respectfully call her "aunt", No matter what guesses or defenses Ye Xinyi has about Pearl, it doesn't prevent her from calling out "Auntie". Besides, in terms of age, Pearl should be more than 20 years old, seven or eight years older than her. It doesn't hurt to call "Auntie".

As Ye Xinyi said, he got up and wanted to reach out to help Pearl himself.

However, Zhuzhu hurriedly stepped aside, lowered her body, and was already in a kneeling posture, "Mrs. Shen, slave. This servant asked for this errand because I have something to ask to see Mr. Shen."

This is somewhat unexpected.The round fan in Ye Xinyi's hand paused lightly, then shook again, "You want to see my lord?"

The tone is quiet, and there is no emotion.

Pearl's body trembled for some reason, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Yes."

Ye Xinyi stood up straight in silence, but did not speak for a while.

Afraid that Pearl didn't know what she meant, she moved her body a little uneasily, and carefully glanced over from the corner of her eyes, but because of her kneeling posture, she could only see the elegant hem of the white string skirt hanging in front of her, and The pair of plain satin soft shoes with a toe exposed under the skirt.

Behind him, there was the sound of thin and light footsteps, but he stopped at the door, obviously seeing the situation before him, he was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to step back or come closer.

I'm afraid it's the green-clothed maid who got Ye Shi's order to go down and make tea for her just now.

Pearl was a little embarrassed, after all, a maid in charge who had always been aloof had lost such a big face in front of such a little maid, but she gritted her teeth, insisted on not saying a word, her body froze and did not move, still kneeling on the leaf In front of Shi.

Because of the maid's arrival, Ye Xinyi finally made a move, turned around and took a few steps, went back to the chair and sat down, and then said, "Liu Lu, help Aunt Pearl up first."

Liu Lu answered "Yes", and then entered the flower hall, put down the tray in her hand, and then slowly walked over to pick up the pearls, "Aunt Pearl, please get up quickly."

Pearl took advantage of the situation and stood up, standing awkwardly in front of her, but she refused to sit down any more, her gaze shifted and awkwardly glanced at Ye Xinyi who was sitting on the main seat.

Ye Xinyi looked at her quietly with a pair of eyes, with a smile on his face, showing no joy or anger, and the flower and bird fan in his hand was gently fanned on his chest.

Ye Xinyi's mood didn't change, but it made Pearl even more uncertain. As time went by, Ye Xinyi still didn't say a word. In the whole flower hall, needles could be heard falling. Breaking out in a cold sweat, my heart felt even colder.

Ye Xinyi finally gave a low laugh, "Aunt Pearl invited herself to this errand to meet my lord, it really makes me a little sad."

Only now did Liu Lu know what happened when she left just now, so she immediately stared at Pearl coldly.

Pearl had already stood up straight. Although her face was slightly pale, she held her back anyway. She looked back at Ye Xinyi calmly, but said nothing.

She didn't say what she wanted to see Shen Yue, but Ye Xinyi didn't even ask her.

That's right, this is what Concubine Xie's close friends should look like, no one is stupid, but who are you trying to fool by acting like that?

Ye Xinyi pursed the corners of her lips, and leaned back on the chair, "However, my lord has been busy with business recently, and he hasn't been home for two days, and he's not at the house right now. It's really a coincidence that Aunt Pearl came here. "

Zhenzhu lowered her head and said, "The slave girl is suing the imperial concubine today. Until the key of the palace gate is locked, the slave girl can stay outside. I also hope that Mrs. Shen will show mercy and let the slave girl wait in the mansion. No way , Mr. Shen will return home in a while."

Ye Xinyi looked at her slightly drooping neck, which was slender and well-proportioned, but she suddenly felt a little tired of such a response, and her eyes turned cold quietly, "Forget it! Aunt Pearl rarely comes out of the palace, since she has to wait , then just wait! If my lord does not return to the mansion, I have nothing to do. But if he really does return to the mansion, it means that Aunt Pearl's visit was not in vain."

These words fell softly in Pearl's ears, but made her tremble uncontrollably.

Ye Xinyi didn't realize it, and waved his hand lightly, "Liu Lu, since Aunt Pearl is here to see your lord, don't make her feel uncomfortable in front of me, and invite her to wait in the side hall!"

"Yes!" Liu Lu bowed her knees in response, and when she looked at Pearl, her expression became much colder, but she was not rude, "Please, Aunt Pearl."

Pearl looked a little uneasy, and looked at Ye Xinyi, but the latter seemed to be tired, and closed her eyes lightly, then she gritted her teeth, bowed her knees and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Shen."

Then he followed behind Liu Lu, left the flower hall, and went to the side hall.

When they went out, Ye Xinyi opened his eyes, and opened the delicate box at hand. The box was divided into eight sections, and each section contained a kind of pastry. A few, but also filled a box full.

Liu Lu sent the pearl to the side hall, told Tao Hong to take care of it, then quickly turned back, entered the flower hall, and said, "Ma'am, what does this aunt mean? She is going to see the lord, not to the yamen." Convenience? I'm afraid she came to my wife on purpose to cause trouble?" Although Liu Lu's tone was calm, she couldn't hide her displeasure.
