Rong Xi nodded after receiving the order, and walked slowly behind Mu Huai.
When the four princes took a closer look, their appearance became more and more handsome, but the aura exuding around them was more or less terrifying.
Rong Xi took a steady breath.
People, it's instinctive to like to look at beautiful things, but these four princes can't look at them too much, they might lose their heads if they look at them too much.
Rong Xi lowered her eyes, greeted Mu Huaifu in the mirror, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I will serve your Highness to tie your hair."
Mu Huai closed his eyes, and said lightly: "Yes."
In my heart, I felt that the maid's voice was really sweet, and she spoke like a song, and I don't know if it was deliberately pretentious.
Rong Xi hadn't figured out Mu Huai's preferences, guessing that a master with his personality disliked his servants being as timid as a mouse in front of him, and such a coy attitude would actually offend him even more.
Then she boldly asked softly: "What kind of hairstyle does Your Highness want to wear? Do you want to do it like yesterday, or do you want to change it?"
When Rong Xi said the last word "Yang", his tone was slightly wavering.
This delicate and soft voice made Mu Huai's heart tingle and swell, this feeling was really weird.
He raised his eyes, looked at Rong Xi with a little displeasure, and asked in a cold voice: "Is it always this way when you talk?"
Rong Xi's breath was stagnant, and she hurriedly explained: "Servant... slave... always speaks like this, if His Highness doesn't like it, slave will change it..."
Mu Huai frowned, and took advantage of the situation to look at Fan Rongxi.
This court lady is also interesting, she speaks like a bird singing, delicately.
But her looks are not satisfactory, and her voice doesn't match her.
However, Mu Huai didn't care much about his servant's appearance, as long as he looked pleasing to the eye, Rong Xi's current appearance was not considered beautiful, but it was not considered ugly either.
Her complexion is pale, her neckline is slender and slender, and although her figure is not tall and petite, she has the graceful and exquisite figure of a girl.
Rong Xi was a little uncomfortable under Mu Huai's scrutiny, but she knew that what she was going to do now was to tie his hair, so she purposely raised her voice and said to Mu Huai: "Then the servant will do His Highness's hair style yesterday? "
Mu Huai's gaze stopped at the blemishes on Rong Xi's face, then met her slightly frightened eyes, lowered his eyes and said, "Anything you want."
Rong Xi answered yes with a strained voice.
When Mu Huai heard her purposely hoarse her voice, she felt a little funny.
At this time, the girl's slightly cool and soft fingertips touched the back of his neck inadvertently.
Mu Huai's breathing was slightly stagnant.
He originally thought that he would reject her approach. When Shunfu mentioned Rong Xi to him before, he still felt that Rong Xi would not stay in Quyun Palace for long, and he might let her get out someday.
But when the court lady played with his hair, although a strange feeling rose in his heart, he knew that it was not disgust.
He didn't know exactly what it was like.
Mu Huai hated being wrapped up in such unknown emotions, he slightly pursed his thin lips, and his brows furrowed a bit.
Rong Xi's hands are extremely beautiful, and his fingers are like jade petals, which can bear the word "soft catkin".
At this moment, she lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes, focusing on combing Mu Huai's hair without distraction.
The movements are careful and gentle, yet familiar and quick.
When he passed by, Rong Xi tied up his black hair for Mu Huai. Seeing that he was wearing a noble smoky green uniform today, he found a small sapphire crown from the wooden box and tied it to the top of his hair.
Fortunately, Mu Huai usually wears light-colored clothes, otherwise this person's aura would be too strong and stern.
Rong Xi even felt that even the strands of his hair showed the word strong.
If she really wore that kind of dark clothes, when she was doing things in front of him, her hands would definitely tremble from shock.
It took less than a quarter of an hour to tie Mu Huai's hair.
Some doubts arose in Rong Xi's heart.
Ordinarily, if he couldn't walk on both legs when he was thirteen years old, then his body wouldn't grow any more.
But Mu Huai's legs looked slender even when he was sitting.
Just by looking at him, his stature is definitely over eight feet, a head and a half taller than her.
Rong Xi was thinking like this, seeing that Mu Huai had tied up her hair, Shun Fu went inside and praised: "After all, it's the girl's craftsmanship that is even more outstanding, Your Highness looks even more handsome today."
After hearing this, Rong Xi lowered his head humbly.
Mu Huai still kept his brows cold, and said to Shunfu, "Talk a lot."
Shunfu kept silent, but his heart was like a mirror.
Although Mu Huai was not forgiving, Shunfu was the young master who knew him best and had been with him for many years.
He is currently satisfied with Rong Xi.
But it's not enough just to bundle his hair. Whether Rong Xi can keep it or not, he still has to observe and observe.
Shunfu also asked Rong Xi this morning if he was familiar with such trifles in the study as grinding ink and laying paper.
Rong Xi's master before entering the palace was a young lady from a scholarly family, so she was familiar with these matters.
A prince with such a noble status as Mu Huai would originally have an official son to accompany him.
But Mu Huai's previous companion was scared out of his mind by him, and he didn't dare to enter the palace to study with him again.
Shunfu still remembered that the third son of the Minister of Rites was also a dignified official boy, but a few years ago, Mu Huai had the most surly temper. Half a beat slower than others.
Mu Huai is talented and intelligent, with a somewhat arrogant personality, so he thinks his companion is stupid. He had never insulted the third son of the servant, but he was cold-hearted to him all day long.
The third son of the servant saw that the other princes got along well with their companions, but the fourth prince looked at him coldly with those sharp eyes every day.
It's like watching an idiot sack.
He felt more and more uncomfortable, and every time he dreamed of Mu Huai's eyes after falling asleep at night, he felt terrible.
He was fifteen years old, but Mu Huai frightened him like a child, drowning every night.
Seeing this, the minister of rites begged the emperor to let his third son go home to rest and stop being Mu Huai's companion.
As an emperor, Mu Zhen has always been kind and generous, so he responded to the request of the Minister of Rites and prepared to find another companion for Mu Huai.
But even if they changed their companions, those government boys still felt that Mu Huai was surly and difficult to get along with.
In the end, none of the officials' children in Biandu dared to be Mu Huai's companion anymore.
Thinking of this, Shunfu couldn't help sighing, and said to Rong Xi: "Maybe I'm a little greedy, it would be even better if you had read some books and could read some words. I think His Highness quite likes you, if you He might not reject being able to accompany him to study in private."
After hearing this, Rong Xi smiled at Shun Fu, but didn't say much.
She can read and write, and she was also a well-educated young lady when the family was not defeated.
But Mu Huai was so perverted and sullen, she didn't dare to show off the little ink in her stomach in front of him.
After the sky became brighter again, Rong Xi followed Mu Huai and his attendants to the Imperial Academy.
On the way to the Imperial Academy, Mu Huai only brought her and a few attendants with swords.
His wheelchair is specially made, and he can actually push it by himself on weekdays, but the journey is longer, or he needs someone to help him when he goes uphill.
Rong Xi originally wanted to help Mu Huai push the wheelchair from Quyun Palace to Imperial Academy, but as soon as he got behind Mu Huai's wheelchair, before his hand touched the back handle of the wheelchair, Mu Huai stopped.
Mu Huai just glanced at Rong Xi's slender arm, and saw that it would break if he pinched it.
He lowered his eyebrows, thinking that it would be troublesome for a woman to be close to him.
The maid's voice was soft and her arms were thin.
Thinking of Rong Xi struggling to push the wheelchair and sighing softly, Mu Huai felt uncomfortable all over.
so troublesome.
Mu Huai coldly ordered his attendants to push the wheelchair, and said to Rong Xi in a bad tone: "You push the wheelchair? Just your arm..."
He paused slightly, looked Rong Xi up and down, and said: "If it is broken or broken, don't serve me in my palace."
Seeing Mu Huai's bad attitude, Rong Xi didn't hesitate, and responded in a low voice: "Your servant understands, so I won't push the wheelchair for His Highness."
Mu Huai saw Rong Xi's obedient appearance, although his face was as gloomy as before, but this journey did not make things difficult for her any more.
*****
Autumn is high and the clouds are light, the smoke is empty and the water is clear.
When everyone arrived at the Hanlin Academy, two or three clan members had already sat down in the academy.
Master has not come here yet, so Mu Huai arrived earlier.
Rong Xi heard from Shun Fu that if the sky was cloudy, Mu Huai's legs would suffer from problems and the pain would be unbearable.
But even so, he never quit his studies, his lips turned white from the pain and he didn't make a sound, and even came to the Imperial Academy to listen to his master's lectures even though it was raining and it was inconvenient to travel.
The teaching style of the Hanlin Academy is antique, and all the princes sit on the floor, with long sandalwood cabinets placed in front of them.
Mu Huai is a special case among them, his legs are not convenient for kneeling and sitting upright, the master still sits in a wheelchair when teaching, and the high table that is different from others is placed in front of him.
Rong Xi felt that the current master could be the most unrestrained and unrestrained person, but he had a disability, so he was considered a different kind among the clan sons, and there was a reason for his bad temper.
She felt quite sorry in her heart, since she followed the fourth prince Mu Huai, she would serve him with all her loyalty and care.
If Mu Huai's life could be smoother and more comfortable, she would have fulfilled her duties as a slave and handmaid, and she would be able to feel at ease with the twice the monthly salary.
In front of the gate of the Imperial Academy, a small slope was specially designed for the convenience of Mu Huai's wheelchair. Rong Xi stepped over the threshold next to him and walked to Mu Huai's side.
All the clan members and their companions arrived in the house, and the princes and daughters have not yet arrived.
Seeing Mu Huai come here, the members of the clan bowed to Mu Huai one after another.
After Mu Huai nodded to them, he noticed from the corner of his eye that Rong Xi had stopped and was looking up at the roof.
Just as Mu Huai was about to ask, Rong Xi hurriedly stepped in front of him, his soft voice was a little higher than usual—
"Your Highness, be careful!"
When Mu Huai stared slightly, his wheelchair had been pushed backward by Rong Xi.
"Wow, wow—"
All of a sudden, a guzzle of water poured down from the roof, pouring all of it onto Rong Xi's thin body.
The cold water was extremely cold and icy.
It was very cold in the autumn morning, Rong Xi was drenched from head to toe, and couldn't help shivering.
Seeing this, Mu Huai's expression suddenly became gloomy.
The attendants at his side were already protecting him, and another attendant immediately went out of the room and went up to the roof to check the situation.
Mu Huai raised his head and saw a hole in the roof that had been washed by the autumn rain the day before yesterday, but the inner divisions hadn't sent anyone to repair it.
He smiled very coldly.
Someone wanted to play tricks on him and took advantage of this loophole.
Fortunately, Rong Xi noticed it and blocked the catastrophe for him.
