When the sunlight entered the room and strands of light fell on Chu Qingyan's fair face, she was disturbed by the gradually heating sunlight, and she slowly opened her eyes, not knowing what she was in last night. How did Xiao Xu fall asleep in his arms, he just felt that the embrace was very warm and smelled like his father.
When Xining heard the movement inside, she walked in with a smile, holding a basin in her hand, "Master, you got up."
Chu Qingyan stretched, trying not to touch the injured foot as much as possible, and slowly sat up.
"It's so late and you don't call me?"
"The lord has explained that you will sleep until you wake up naturally, how dare the slaves disturb your dreams?" Xining has been following Chu Qingyan for a long time recently, and her speech is no longer as submissive as in the past. He also learned about Chu Qingyan's black belly.
Chu Qingyan shook her head, the so-called three years of good study and three days of bad study, it seems that he also has the potential to teach others, at least he has successfully transformed Xining.
Just after washing up, Chu Qingyan looked up and saw Hong Yi walking in with a light smile. Hong Yi felt gentle and graceful, but she was well organized. Chu Qingyan felt that if there was not her in the backyard. In charge, I am afraid that it has long been a mess.
Chu Qingyan was about to smile at her when she saw a maid in purple followed behind her.
Petite, with a face like a cherry, around fourteen or fifteen years old, Chu Qingyan had never seen her before.
Hongyi walked up to her and slightly blessed her body, "Hongyi greets Miss Chu Jiu, this is the maid, Ziyi, who was arranged for you by your servant, Ziyi." After speaking, she gestured to the people behind her to show their faces towards Chu. see you.
Only then did Chu Qingyan remember that Xiao Xu did say last night that he would arrange a maid for her, but he didn't expect it to be so fast!
Zi Yi was originally unwilling to serve Chu Qingyan. Seeing Hongyi's gesture, she bowed her head reluctantly and said perfunctorily, "Zi Yi has met Miss Chu Jiu."
It's not that Chu Qingyan didn't feel this person's dissatisfaction with her, and she didn't know where she offended her, but when she first saw it, Chu Qingyan felt that this person was not easy to get along with, but since the person had already arranged Now, she still needs to be polite on the surface, not to mention that she is still a little girl who is ignorant of the world at this time, so she smiled cutely, "Sister Ziyi is too polite!"
Zi Yi heard the words and said with a gun and a stick, "Miss Chu Jiu's sister Zi Yi would never dare to take it, you are the master, the slaves are the servants, the British palace is not an ordinary small family, it should be there. There are still rules. Only those who come out of the small door will be called sisters and sisters. Although you are still young, I hope you will pay attention to your words and behaviors in the future, otherwise it will be my prince who will be embarrassed. "
He was just a sentence, and she was blocked by her sarcasm. Chu Qingyan felt that the arrogant Zi Yi in front of her was really "articulate"!
Hongyi immediately turned around and scolded lightly, "Ziyi, don't be rude!"
Then she turned around to face Chu Qingyan and said apologetically, "Miss Chu Jiu, Zi Yi has just been trained, and she still doesn't understand many rules. If she has any offense, please forgive me, Miss Chu Jiu!"
Chu Qingyan knew that Hongyi was going down the stairs for herself. After all, a little girl like herself who wanted status but no status, and wanted wealth without wealth had no status at all in this palace. The eldest servant girl specially trained to be more sincere, I am afraid she is hitting the stone with an egg.
Chu Qingyan rode the donkey down the hill and waved his hand with a smile, "Qingyan is still young, and I really don't understand some rules, and I hope Ziyi will correct me when the time comes."
Hongyi glanced at Chu Qingyan, and felt that she was not as well-behaved as she should be at this age, and she was suspicious, but there was still a steward outside waiting for her to arrange, and after telling Ziyi a few words, she resigned.
After Hongyi left, Ziyi raised her chin, her eyes never looked directly at Chu Qingyan, Chu Qingyan just asked her not to make trouble, and she didn't care about the rest.
Seeing that the situation seemed to be a little stiff, Xining rolled his eyes and immediately thought of something that he could tell his master.
"Master, do you know that Gu Yi was beaten 50 times by the prince?"
Chu Qingyan was a little surprised to hear that, "What's going on?"
Xining shook his head and said, "I don't know about slaves, but after the prince left the master's room last night, he asked Gu Yi to go to the housekeeper to collect the punishment. I heard that today Gu Yi did not go to the prince's side to be on duty, but was in the room. Recuperate."
Zi Yi, who was standing on the side, heard the conversation between the master and servant, and snorted coldly, "Miss Chu Jiu, don't play stupid, if it wasn't for you, how could Gu Yi be punished by the prince!"
She did not expect that the lord would accuse Gu Yi of the elder brother because of Chu Qingyan's injury. She learned of Chu Qingyan's existence from those teaching aunts very early, and she was not happy with her. She was punished, and she resented her to the extreme, and now she speaks more freely.
Chu Qingyan was too lazy to care about her. Dogs that can bark don't bite people, and dogs that can bite don't bark. She still understands this principle, but Gu Yi's matter made her lower her eyebrows and think about it carefully. Could it be true? about yourself
"Ziyi, how can you say that? We are servants, how can we commit crimes?"
Xining was angry in her heart, even if the master didn't want Ziyi to care, but it didn't mean that she, as the master's confidant, could endure her rudeness to the master.
Zi Yi smiled coldly, she didn't seem to take Xining in her eyes, she was just a little girl, she ignored the angry Xining and looked at Chu Qingyan lazily and blessed, "The servant goes to the kitchen to see Miss Chu Jiu. breakfast."
Without waiting for Chu Qingyan's response, Shi Shiran turned around and left.
"You—" Xining was about to stop her, but was stopped by the master.
"Let her go." Chu Qingyan's mind was still on Xiao Xu's anger on her behalf, and she never cared about such trivial matters.
Xining saw that the master really didn't care about Ziyi's rudeness, and she was a little rude to the master, but she still kept her mouth shut, the master did things for her own reasons, just follow her own.
Inside the study.
Xiao Xu looked at the secret report just sent by his subordinates, his eyes narrowed slightly.
And Huo Ling, who was standing by the side, was holding back the words in his heart, not knowing whether to ask or not, he couldn't help scratching his head.
Xiao Xu glanced at him, "What's the matter?"
Huo Ling smiled when he heard the words, "Master, there's nothing wrong, I'm just curious, why do you suddenly punish Gu Yi? Is it because he didn't protect Miss Chu Jiu well?"
"Disobeying orders and leaving the office without permission, these two charges are not enough?" Xiao Xu turned a page of letterhead and said casually.
Huo Ling quickly laughed, "Enough is enough!"
In fact, what he really wanted to ask was that Gu Yi was the queen's person. In the past, no matter what Gu Rong Guyi did wrong, the prince seldom punished him, but now he made an exception for Chu Qingyan, and he had to watch the dog fight. The master, slapped Gu Yi, obviously slapped the queen in the face.
For the sake of Chu Qingyan, the prince has done this step, but it doesn't mean that he won't be amazed. What ability does that Chu Qingyan have that deserves the prince to do this for her
Huo Ling faced Chu Qingyan for the first time.
