Having made up his mind, Du Wei quickly lifted the window with one hand. As soon as he exerted force with his fingers, the window lock inside broke silently. He jumped into the house and closed the window smoothly. This series of movements was extremely quick, and it took only a second before and after.
But when his footsteps landed, the girl in the room didn't seem to have reacted yet—whoever Ren, saw a figure rushing in from the window of his house like lightning in the middle of the night, so silently, always in a daze for a few seconds.
Under the candlelight in the room, Du Wei could clearly see the girl's appearance. She was about twenty years old, with long brown-black hair and a plain white nightgown. He propped his chin up, that face was very pretty, straight and straight, with delicate features. He just stared at Du Wei at the moment, but his mouth seemed to be slightly open, and he seemed to be in shock.
And her white nightgown, because she was dressed in her own private room, was very casual, even the top two buttons of the collar on her chest were not twisted, revealing a touch of touching whiteness on her chest...
Du Wei was stunned when he saw it, and the other party was also stunned. For a while, Du Wei even forgot to make a move...
It's not that Du Wei became stupid when he saw the girl's short dress, in fact, he recognized this girl.
This girl was none other than the court lady who was specially taken care of by little Princess Karina, Du Wei remembered clearly. This girl's name should be: Lanlan.
At the time when I was apprenticed to a teacher. It was also this girl who blocked her way in the palace and asked for the initiation ceremony of apprenticeship on behalf of the little princess and little prince Charlie.
Moreover, during the few months when Du Wei was the teacher of the two little guys, every time he came to the palace to teach the two kids, this beautiful female official named Lanlan would serve him by the side, serving tea and water, and serving them before meals. After that, the service was very meticulous, and many times, when Du Wei was giving lectures to the two little guys. This female official named Lanlan never walked away, and she also stood by and listened. Over time, she didn't look like a court lady, but like Du Wei's third student.
This girl is very smart, and she can comprehend very quickly when reading, many times. When Du Wei was lecturing, there were some problems that the two little guys couldn't understand immediately, but the girl had an expression on her face as if she had realized something, which made Du Wei secretly remember it in her heart. Although Princess Karina is smart, but due to her age and living in the palace since she was a child, her vision is limited and she has many questions. Instead, she has to ask this Lanlan for advice.
Over time, the relationship between Du Wei and this female official named Lanlan became familiar. He knew that this female official named Lan Lan was a "palace family" of the family for generations. The so-called palace family is an ancient family that has served the royal family for generations. The personal servants in the court will always be selected from this kind of family. Just because these aristocratic families who have served the royal family for generations have a reliable degree of loyalty. It is also safe to use. For example, the Lanlan in front of her, her mother and father were both guards and female officials in the palace, her grandfather was also a member of the Imperial Forest Army, and her great-great-grandfather was even the etiquette teacher of Emperor Augustine VI!
When Du Wei was in class before, this Lanlan respected herself very much. That kind of respect is not the kind of flattery that servants in the palace give to themselves in the general sense. Du Wei could feel that this girl seemed to be in class after a long time. Admire yourself from the bottom of your heart. That look of admiration was genuine.
Moreover, her temperament is gentle and delicate, she is a very quiet girl.
During class on weekdays, if she was thirsty, she would immediately take the initiative to serve a cup of warm tea; if she was hungry, she would take the initiative to order other court servants to bring refreshments. Moreover, she is the female official responsible for taking care of the little princess Karina. It can be said that little Karina has been taken care of by her since she can remember, and her relationship with her is like a sister, and like a mother and daughter.
It's like... Just like myself and the old housekeeper Made.
Thinking of this, Du Wei originally raised his hand and was about to knock the girl unconscious with a palm, but at this moment, it seemed that he was an old acquaintance with a very good relationship, how could he have the nerve to hit this girl
He was very respectful to him, served tea and water, and humbly asked for advice for several months like a student-although Du Wei was not soft-hearted, he was also a little embarrassed.
"Duke, Your Excellency the Duke?!" Lanlan finally came to her senses, staring at Du Wei, and squeezed out a few words after a long time.
Du Wei immediately sighed—unlucky, it seems that he really doesn't have the talent to be a thief. Since it was night to enter the imperial city, they were all wearing black night clothes, but why did they forget to mask their faces! fool!
Now it's all right, the other party recognized her, even if she was knocked out, it would be useless—unless she was willing to kill people to silence her, and do such tricky things.
At this time, not far away, a group of Imperial Forest Army slowly walked by, their leather boots trampled on the ground and made the sound of owls, and there was also the clanging sound of armor colliding as they walked.
Du Wei stared at Lanlan with a solemn expression, and gently raised his fingers. As long as Lanlan dared to show the slightest intention to shout, Du Wei would immediately poke her unconscious.
Lanlan's breathing was a little short. At this midnight, the person who broke into her room was actually the young Duke Tulip. She didn't know what was going on in her mind for a moment, but suddenly her face gradually There was a trace of flushing.
Finally, after catching a glimpse of Du Wei's nervous appearance, Lan Lan bit her lip, lowered her voice, and her voice seemed a bit constricted: "You, don't worry, I won't bark."
As she said that, her face blushed again, but she suddenly looked down and saw her loose clothes, her face was even more shy, she quickly turned around and buttoned it up, and then took two steps back. Looking at Du Wei: "You...you came to my room in the middle of the night, what are you doing?"
The last "what" sentence. He spoke in a soft, inaudible voice, but subconsciously twisted the corner of his clothes with his fingers...
When Du Wei saw it, he realized something in his heart—it's troublesome, people misunderstood.
I'm afraid I thought that I was climbing over the wall and touching the girl's window in the middle of the night to steal incense and jade!
Du Wei's expression was a little embarrassing, and he didn't know what to say, but he heard Semel's dissatisfied heavy hum from the back of his mind.
He smiled bitterly: "Sorry, I didn't come to your room on purpose. I didn't know this was your residence."
When Lanlan heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes seemed to reveal a little bit of disappointment, but she was also a girl with a quiet and delicate mind. She pondered for a while, then laughed softly : "Well. I don't know that the Duke climbed the window in the middle of the night. He originally wanted to see which other little sister here? I never knew that the Duke was such a romantic person."
"I... I'm not here tonight to find a girl." Du Wei's tone was even more helpless, but the words became more and more ambiguous. I could only cough, and tried to keep my face straight: "I'm here for other important things."
After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth, intending to ignore so much and knock her out first before speaking.
But just as he took a step forward, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door. Then there were a few soft knocks on the door. The footsteps were obviously not alone!
hell!
Du Wei felt great hatred in his heart, he didn't want to kill in the palace, so he turned his head and glanced at the window, and was about to exit from there.
"You, wait a moment." Lanlan saw Du Wei's movements, but suddenly said in a low voice: "You... don't worry, hide first!"
Then, he strode to the closet and opened the door: "Go in quickly." He gritted his teeth again, as if after a little struggle. Jue Ran said: "Don't worry, I will never say anything."
Du Wei hesitated for a moment, even the stinky ditch was drilled tonight, and he was really unwilling to go back like this, so he could only feel sad. He got into the closet.
Then Lanlan closed the closet. Only then did he approve another robe, and ran to open the door.
Du Wei hid in the closet. As the personal servant of the little princess Karina in the palace, Lanlan is naturally treated very high, and she lives in a very big house with a large wardrobe. But no matter how big a girl's closet is, it would still be a bit crowded for a big man like Du Wei to get in.
Moreover, after Du Wei drilled in, he felt that there were soft girls' clothes everywhere around him, and there was a faint smell of women's incense on them, which made Du Wei even more embarrassed. , quite a few of them, I'm afraid they are girls' undergarments, but at this moment, I got in right now.
There was a tiny gap in the door of the closet, and Du Wei looked out from the inside.
After Lanlan opened the door, she heard a young girl's voice from outside, but she didn't come in, she just laughed outside the door: "Sister Lanlan, I really guessed right, you didn't sleep at night .”
Lan Lan's voice sounded very calm, she smiled lightly and said, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
The girl outside the door was probably another court lady, and she said with a smile: "I just finished my shift and was about to go back to rest, but on the way back, I met that guy Chip leading the Imperial Forest Army on patrol, and that guy Chip immediately stopped Stopped me, and wholeheartedly begged me to find out, did you read the letter he wrote to you a few days ago? That guy was very anxious, no, I was so confused by him, so I had to run away now I'm here to ask you."
Lanlan coughed: "You knock on my door in the middle of the night, just to ask this kind of thing!"
"I know you always have a habit of going to bed late. I came here because I watched your window light on. Well, let me tell you, Chip is out in the garden right now. This guy It seems that he really likes you in his heart. He became a cavalry commander at a young age, and I heard that he will be promoted to deputy commander within this year. He likes you so much, standing in the garden in the middle of the night, just begging me to come Let me tell you... If, if you read that letter, if you want, go out and see him now."
After a while, probably seeing that Lanlan didn't speak, the maid outside probably got some benefit from that Kip, so she tried her best to push Lanlan: "Why are you hesitating, Kip is young and promising, and he has a good family background, and he can't help it." He is the youngest officer in the Royal Forest Army. I think he is very suitable for you. I heard that he is usually not a good drinker, but he secretly fell in love with you, and he will never forget you."
But Lanlan became more and more angry the more she listened, the taste was mostly because of this kind of thing, she secretly didn't want to let the person hiding in the closet behind her hear it.
Immediately stomping his feet, he said angrily: "Stop talking! It was midnight, and he wanted to invite me out for a meeting, but thanks to him, you came to knock on my door just like that! I think that Kip usually It's still prudent to do things, why today... hum! You go out and tell him to let him go, I'm going to sleep!"
After finishing speaking, he ignored the maids outside and was about to close the door.
The people outside were anxious, but they pushed against the door and said anxiously: "Sister Lanlan! Even if you don't think about anything else, you should think about yourself! You are the princess's personal maid. According to the usual practice, you have to When the princess gets married as an adult, we have to marry with her. Now the princess is still young, and it will take seven or eight years for her to get married when she grows up! As women, our youth is only a few years, After seven or eight years, you will be almost thirty years old. At that time, who will you go to? If the future princess’s husband marry you to some old servant or housekeeper, your life will be ruined Now Chip is very trusted by the higher-ups, and the weight is enough. If you follow him well, then maybe as long as he begs for mercy with Master Chick one day, the Regent will show mercy... The little princess has such a relationship with you again Well, you can stop wasting your youth."
