Hua Xiwan returned to the palace, thinking of the child in the Linping County Lord's mansion, she felt a little uncomfortable. Although she didn't like the Lord Linping very much, she felt sympathy for the child.
"Bai Xia, prepare a few generous gifts and send them to the county master's mansion," Hua Xiwan felt a little bit stuck in her heart, "Children are innocent."
"Yes," Bai Xia noticed that the master's face was wrong, so he didn't dare to ask more questions, and instead went to prepare a gift suitable for children.
"Sister Bai Xia," Hongying met Bai Xia in the corridor with a refreshment. Seeing her serious expression, she asked worriedly, "What happened?"
"It's alright," Bai Xia shook his head with a light smile, and then whispered: "The master may be in a bad mood, so please serve carefully." Although she didn't quite understand what was going on, she should have something to do with the Linping County Lord's Mansion. Yes for sure.
"Don't worry, the lord just now has already returned to the mansion. Listening to Director Mu, the lord's expression is not bad," Hong Ying also whispered in Bai Xia's ear, "Maybe he will come over in a while."
Bai Xia glared at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense." Seeing that Hongying's expression was quite restrained, she felt relieved, "Have you forgotten the example of Luzhu?"
"I don't have her thoughts," Hongying muttered, but her expression became serious. As servants, no matter how much they have face, it is also given by the master. If the master has no face, what benefits can they get
As soon as the two finished speaking, they saw the prince coming this way, and hurriedly backed away, bowing their heads in salute.
Yan Jinqiu strode past the two of them and walked into the house. Seeing Hua Xiwan's gloomy expression, he walked over to her and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"Thinking of Linping County Lord's two children makes me feel a little uncomfortable," Hua Xiwan forced a smile. With their current relationship, if she and Yan Jinqiu have children in the future, I don't know how much the children will suffer. If you can't give your child a good family environment, it's better not to.
"What do I think it is? They have a nursing mother and a nanny around them, and they have a teacher or an aunt to nurture. Who would dare to neglect them?" Yan Jinqiu disagreed, because that's how he grew up himself, "If you Don't worry, I usually have people prepare more things for children and send them over."
Hua Xiwan nodded when she heard the words, saw a blue shadow under the corner of his eye, reached out and pressed the corner of his eye: "Did you not rest last night?" Yan Jinqiu rested in the study last night, so when did he sleep? Xiwan didn't know at all. But seeing that Yan Jinqiu was unavoidable and allowed himself to flick the corners of his eyes, Hua Xiwan's mood was still a little complicated. A normal person would subconsciously reach out to block others when they approached their eyes. Yan Jinqiu reacted like this. He didn't know if he really regarded her as a close person, or if his acting skills had reached this point.
Yan Jinqiu took her hand and put it on his cheek, and laughed silently: "It's alright, I had something to do last night, so I slept a little later." After speaking, he looked at Hua Xiwan again, "In the study It's uncomfortable to sleep."
Seeing this, Hua Xiwan stretched out her other hand and patted his head: "Then I'll ask the servants to change you a softer cushion."
Seeing that she was acting stupid, Yan Jinqiu simply took the person into his arms: "No, no matter how soft the mattress is, you can't sleep here as comfortably as you."
Hua Xiwan reached out and poked his face, "Don't act like a spoiled child."
Yan Jinqiu's head rubbed against Hua Xiwan's shoulder, and Hua Xiwan had no choice but to pat him on the back.
The so-called man can bend and stretch, probably because of the performance of the man in her arms.
The servants in the house lowered their heads and closed their eyes one after another, turning a blind eye to the behavior of the prince acting coquettishly with the princess. This fact is impossible to look directly at. What about the prince who used to be gentle and elegant
Sure enough, in front of Hongyan, no matter how strong a man is, he will turn his fingers into softness.
Hongying saw the servants in the room retreat, looked at the tea in her hand, and backed away with a smile.
"Miss Hongying."
Halfway through the road, she was stopped by a maid in a green shirt. She took a closer look and recognized that she was serving at the second door, "Is there something wrong?"
The green-shirted maid looked around and confirmed that no one was there before she lowered her voice and said, "Xiaoyu, who is in my room, has been a little off lately. I heard her talking in her sleep last night, and even mentioned the princess. My sister dare not speculate about things. What's going on, so I specially reported it to my sister."
She is in the same room with Xiaoyu, if Xiaoyu really does something daring, and if it is revealed, she will also be implicated. It's better to report to the above earlier, even if you can't get a report, you can save yourself. She has parents, siblings, and she doesn't dare to take this risk.
Seeing that this maid's love was not fake, Hongying nodded and said, "I see. When you go back, don't let her find out that you told me about this. If there is anything else, you must tell us," she thought for a while. , and added another sentence, "It's okay to tell Director Mu."
"Yes," the green-shirted maid blessed Hongying and left in a hurry when she saw that there was no one around.
Hongying gave the tray to a passing maid, and turned to Mutong, who was training people. She glanced at the little eunuch who was so frightened by Mutong that she did not dare to come out, and said with a smile: "Mr. Mu ,Busy now?"
"It turned out to be Miss Hongying, please take a seat, please," Mu Tong smiled instantly, motioning for Hongying to sit down at the stone table next to her, and instructing the person next to him to serve tea.
"Eunuch Mu, don't be so troublesome, I'll leave after a few words," Hongying glanced at the others around her, "Let these people go about their own business."
How smart is Mu Tong, he naturally understands that what Hongying said should not be heard by others, so he said, "Didn't you hear what Miss Hongying said, why are you still standing here?"
After these people had all left, Mu Tong said with a smile: "I don't know if there is something good, but Miss Hongying is here?"
"Eunuch Mu is being polite, it's not a big deal, it's just that you are the general manager, you always have to tell you about this kind of thing," Hongying said after explaining everything clearly, "The princess still needs someone to take care of it. , I'll say goodbye first."
"Miss Hongying walk slowly," Mu Tong politely took a few steps, and the smile on her face faded after Hongying's figure could not be seen clearly. The maidservants around the princess are not simple. This seems simple, but it is actually a very tricky thing. After all, it is just a dream. , On the contrary, after a hundred times, he still can't say a word. The people around the princess, remember to report to themselves when they have something, in the eyes of others, that is called respecting themselves.
Mu Tong thought about it for a while, and simply locked up this maid named Xiaoyu. No matter what was suspicious about her, she would be locked up for two days to see if there was anything suspicious or if she was with the party.
In the main house, Hua Xiwan and Yan Jinqiu sat cross-legged on the soft couch without any image, with a pile of gems and jade pendants in front of them.
"This jade pendant is very beautiful," Hua Xiwan compared the jade pendant around Yan Jinqiu's waist, and then said, "The color of the clothes is too plain."
Yan Jinqiu smiled and said, "Don't you dress plainly yourself?"
Hua Xiwan put down the jade pendant and found a male hairpin from inside. The pattern of auspicious clouds carved from white suet fat is very simple, but the carving is excellent, "Although the horses in Linping County are not close to us, But it's also our brother-in-law, if you dress too brightly, isn't it a breach of etiquette?"
Yan Jinqiu sighed and looked at Hua Xiwan, who lowered her head and pulled all kinds of gems, and somehow said what she was thinking: "This person is a villain who is good at drilling camps, but she wants to marry him. Not long after she got married, her father died of illness. The emperor took this as an opportunity to let me downgrade to inherit the palace. But even so, there were people outside that I was unfilial and indulged in love. After marrying and going to Jiangcheng, there is no news of it, in her eyes, we people are just the big stick that did not break up their pair of mandarin ducks."
Hua Xiwan's movement of pulling the gems slowed down, she looked at Yan Jinqiu and did not speak.
"All these years, Luo Zhongzheng has been advising the emperor to suppress the other royal family, which is very appealing to the emperor's appetite," Yan Jinqiu sneered, "It's just that my good sister wrote a letter to ask me to cooperate with Luo Zhongzheng's suggestion. Funny. Without our palace, what would she be as a princess, but she naively betrayed her relatives for that man, thinking that as long as that man treats her well, it is worth sacrificing anything."
Hua Xiwan heard a trace of tiredness and indifference from Yan Jinqiu's words, and she couldn't help thinking that if she were Yan Jinqiu, I was afraid that she would not have much affection for this sister, and it would be good if she could not bear any resentment.
"Is that why the princess is so alienated from our mansion?" Hua Xiwan put her hands on his palms and gave him a reassuring smile.
"How can there be a feeling in the world that allows her to ask for harm without asking for anything in return," Yan Jinqiu said in a very indifferent tone, "I didn't agree to what she wanted, so she would naturally feel resentment."
Hua Xiwan's brows wrinkled invisibly, this Linping County Lord was a little selfish and a little stupid.
"Since that's the case, it's good for us to ask for a clear conscience," Hua Xiwan held Yan Jinqiu's hand, "Now that she and you each have their own home, who can control who for the rest of their lives?"
Yan Jinqiu let out a low laugh, held her hand back and said warmly, "I knew you could understand my intentions. The one who knows me in this world is Xiwan."
Hua Xiwan's eyes rolled, and her brows were dyed with a smile: "Jinqiu has a gully in his chest, how can I be sure that I understand your intentions?" Probably because the current atmosphere is too good, or because of the death of the horse in Linping County, Hua Xi was forced to Wan felt that there was nothing in this world that she dared not say or do. Life was too short, and she always had to live her own life.
Yan Jinqiu stared at her, his index finger lightly brushed her brow, and suddenly he laughed.
"I thought you wouldn't ask that..."
