After Chu Qingyan suffered a thunderbolt, she returned to her yard. After she calmed down, a cold sweat broke out on her back.
To be honest, today is also a dangerous move. She is not someone who can't stand the hardships, but in the Royal Palace, she can't see the environment she is in. In the end, what does Xiao Xu think of her? So even if she risked pulling her beard in front of the tiger, she had to take the risk to see if he would take anger on her for this unsatisfactory marriage.
But I have to say that the results of the test made her a little puzzled. She felt from his attitude that he seemed to treat her as a pet, and he felt amused when he was up.
This feeling is very subtle, but she does not feel malicious.
On the contrary, the suggestion he made today was rejected by her on the spot, but thinking about it now, if she really made it at that time, would he let her go and let her leave the palace
The answer, she doesn't know.
Chu Qingyan sighed softly, as soon as you come, be safe!
Finally letting go of this matter, Chu Qingyan stretched her waist and suddenly felt that her stomach was empty. At this moment, Xining walked in with a plate.
Chu Qingyan smiled, which was really timely, but when she saw those things on the plate, she felt that her appetite suddenly disappeared.
Xining looked at the corners of her master's twitching mouth, lowered her eyebrows, and said guiltily, "Master, when slaves go to the kitchen to get food, that's all there is to it."
Charred greens, steamed buns without the skin, and porridge as thin as water.
Chu Qingyan pressed her forehead and waved her hand, "Let's just leave it alone. For the poor people outside, this is already quite good."
This was the first meal she ate without eating with Xiao Xu. She did not expect that this would be the treatment of her future princess-to-be, but when she thought of entering the mansion, the white tiger gave her the disgust, she couldn't help but talk. The corners of her mouth twitched, forget it, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and she recognized it.
However, when chewing on this tasteless steamed bun, Chu Qingyan couldn't help but miss the golden steamed bun made by Huang Yi. It was chewy and soft, so that Chu Qingyan's saliva was drooling.
At this time, Xining watched his master eating, sadly but happily said, "Fortunately, the lord just let you not have breakfast together, lunch and dinner can still be eaten in Yuxuanyuan, then the master does not need to eat these An unbearable meal."
Only then did Chu Qingyan remember what Xiao Xu said to her when she was in Yuxuanyuan today, and she saved her morning companion, but other meal times must be available. Chu Qingyan couldn't understand, what was there to adapt to this kind of life, but when he thought of his surroundings exuding cold air, he immediately nodded in agreement. Adaptation was very necessary. What should I do if I freeze
Thinking of this, Chu Qingyan immediately rubbed the goose bumps on her arms.
After eating, there was nothing to do, so Chu Qingyan asked Xining to talk about the affairs in the palace.
In fact, Xining has only been in the mansion for half a year, and she is still young, so she is not very clear about the affairs in the palace, so Chu Qingyan learned a few things in her childish words, such as:
The seven-colored maidservant is Chu Qingyan's general term for these seven-colored maidservants, like Hongyi and Chengyi, who have been with the prince since childhood, and the other five are arranged to follow him intermittently, like Huang Yi is a famous chef of a generation Afterwards, he was sold into the palace because his family was at a disadvantage, and because he cooked a good dish, he was arranged by the housekeeper to enter the Yuxuan Courtyard.
And beside Xiao Xu, there is an accompanying bodyguard, Gu Rong Gu Yi, who was arranged by Empress Liang five years ago to protect him.
Xiao Xu generally doesn't care about the affairs of the palace. The housekeepers are basically in charge of the big and small matters in the front yard, while Hong Yi takes care of the back yard.
Chu Qingyan thought, it seems that Xiao Xu still attaches great importance to this big maid, Hongyi. After these few days, she also felt that although Hongyi is gentle and polite, she is relaxed in her actions, and her words are reasonable and well-founded. It is convincing, I have to say that the ability is really quite good.
At this time, Chu Qingyan was thinking, although Xiao Xu did not take a concubine, there were these big maids like flowers and jade in the yard, I wonder if Xiao Xu could hold it? Or have you indulged in the gentle village? Thinking of this, Chu Qingyan felt a little disgusted. She came from this world and was educated to be monogamous. She couldn't tolerate groups of wives and concubines in ancient times. She had a headache. If she saw Xiao Xu hugging other women in the future, she should How to behave
But it seems that his whole body exudes the aura that strangers are not allowed to enter, can any woman dare to approach him
Chu Qingyan shook her head, what does this have to do with her? She was only in her early ten years, and she thought that no matter how brute he was, he wouldn't be able to hit her with his mind. Besides, there were still a few years left before Jijian, so there might be some variables in it!
Xining was so young that he couldn't hide his words, and it happened that he liked this master. He narrated it in the morning, searching his stomach and wanting to tell his master what he knew.
Seeing that his master was listening with relish, Xining rolled his eyes, remembered what he heard in the kitchen today, and immediately poured out.
"Master, today the slaves heard something about the prince."
"What's the matter? Come and listen." Chu Qingyan replied casually.
Xining immediately lowered her voice and said, "I heard Xiao Cai in the kitchen say that the reason why the prince didn't go to the morning court was because a minister in the court was found to be corrupt, and some people said that the minister was involved with the prince, Therefore, His Majesty asked the prince to stay in the palace for a few days to rest, and it is estimated that he will investigate this matter."
Hearing this, Chu Qingyan couldn't help sitting up straight. Corruption and bribery were seen in the eyes of the king, but it was a thorn and would not be taken lightly, but how could Xiao Xu be involved in this matter
In front of him, there was a figure that was as cold as a wolf. How could it not look like he would be in trouble with others
But people can't look at their appearance, and the sea can't be measured. What if it is
Chu Qingyan was forced into a cold sweat by this incident. If Xiao Xu was really found to be tainted, would she, the cheap princess, also be implicated
Therefore, it is false to take leave at home, and it is true to be checked.
At this time, Xining, who didn't know the seriousness of the matter, was still talking, "The lord is not such a person. Although he is not friendly, unfriendly, strict and cold, but the servants do not believe that the lord will snatch the fat of the people!"
Listening to the words of Xining's loyal protector, Chu Qingyan wiped the cold sweat on her forehead and shook her head inwardly. In the officialdom, no one can tell the truth. She has never been in contact with officialdom without the smoke of gunpowder, and she can't go along with Xining's words.
And at this moment, Yu Xuanyuan sent someone to summon him.
Chu Qingyan glanced at the sun, and it was noon again.
She's going to meet that big ice cube again.
