Chapter 73: through the back door

Views:

Xiao Ting shook her hand and almost dropped the fan on the ground, "How is it possible? It was bought by Yuchi Xinhan, and the prince threw it to my concubine when it was useless."

"You still said that my concubine gave him useless things, isn't he the same? Besides, this concubine gave him so many things, and he didn't even like it. If he gave me a broken fan, will this concubine accept it?"

"Hmph, I don't want it either." Xiao Ting snapped and threw the folding fan into the box, seeing Hong Shao's eyes burning, she said to her: "Take it if you like."

Hong Shao hurriedly backed away, what was she kidding, she knew that the folding fan in front of her was worth a lot, so how could she dare to take it

"This fan is too expensive, the slaves dare not accept it."

"My lord said, if this concubine doesn't like it, she will throw it away, and you can't look down on it. Is it really a broken fan?"

Xiao Ting hummed, feeling more and more that the Ninth Prince is something special.

Hong Shao quickly explained, "Princess, this is not a broken fan. If the slaves don't miss it, this fan is worth thousands of gold."

"Qian, Qianjin?" Xiao Ting almost bit her own tongue.

"This is the most famous fine moso bamboo in the south of the Yangtze River. It is very precious. It is only used by the royal family. The silk surface is probably something from the Narcissus Pavilion. As for the inscription painted on it, the maidservant can't see it. But this piece of jade is shiny all over, and it feels warm and cool in the hand. I think it is not an ordinary object. The servant girl has seen such a piece of jade from Aunt Qi, and I heard from her that it is her family heirloom!"

Hong Shao explained one by one, the more she watched, the more frightened she became.

Xiao Ting let out a ghostly howl, and hugged the folding fan directly in her arms, her eyes were crescent-shaped, she was radiant, and she muttered: "So it's a baby, now I'm rich."

"Princess, could it be that the prince specially found this to send you off?"

Xiao Ting glared at her, "How is it possible? He said that Yuchi Xinhan gave it to him, and he gave it to me because he didn't want it. Hmph, I found a treasure now."

Even if she was killed, she would not believe that the stone would suddenly treat her well.

"Then, will the prince suddenly want to treat you well?" Hong Shao felt that this was the truth.

Xiao Ting hummed, "Well, even if it is, it's just like what Xiaoyun said, if you don't have anything to do, you can either rape or steal."

Ah San and Ah Si who were guarding outside have been petrified, will the prince die of anger when he hears this! ! !

In fact, the Ninth Prince didn't go far at all. After throwing the fan to Xiao Ting in a feverish manner, he couldn't move away, wanting to see how she would deal with it.

When she heard her say the phrase 'nothing to be courteous to, rape or steal', her breath was a little uneven, and then she walked away.

Ah San and Ah Si suddenly saw their master walking out of the darkness, they were a little dumbfounded, before they had time to salute, the master disappeared.

And Butler Mu appeared behind them like a ghost, which shocked Ah San and Ah Si greatly.

"Remember, on July 12th, the prince and the concubine fought, and the concubine won in the end! Once the prince is angry, he is courteous!"

The dark guard's hands shook once, butler Mu ignored the panic of the few people, and left with his hands behind his back smiling.

In the middle of the night, there was a misty drizzle, and Xiao Ting woke up with a sneeze.

Looking out of the half-open window, she rolled her eyes and ran barefoot to the window to look out.

"Huh? It's raining, it's cooler now."

When Hong Shao came in, she saw her master was barefoot, jumping happily on the ground, very happy.

"Princess, what makes you so happy?"

Xiao Ting ran over with a smile while twisting her body, and said, "It's raining!"

Hong Shao is speechless, so, just because it's raining, you suddenly feel better

"By the way, where is the prince?"

Xiao Ting's mind returned to reality, recalling the thing that gave her a headache yesterday, she decided to make a quick decision.

Hong Shao twisted the handkerchief to let her wipe her face, and said: "The prince entered the palace early in the morning, and told you not to go to the palace today."

"Entering the palace?" Xiao Ting hummed, and suddenly said: "Could it be that he finally found out his conscience and is going to investigate the case for this girl?"

"No, this girl is going to take a look and see what kind of abilities he has?" Xiao Ting was not convinced, and after a quick wash, she changed her clothes and was about to go out.

"Princess, don't go out if it's raining." Hong Shao could only persuade her like this.

But she couldn't stop Xiao Ting, but when she walked all the way to the gate, she was stopped by Butler Mu.

It was still the same smiling face, "Morning princess!"

Xiao Ting looked at him mysteriously, "Housekeeper, this concubine has noticed that you have been secretly laughing lately, if you have any happy event to tell, let's have fun together!"

Butler Mu's smile remained unchanged, and he said, "The princess is joking, this old slave has always looked like this."

Xiao Ting nodded, "That's very happy."

After speaking, lift your foot and leave.

"Princess, where are you going?"

Butler Mu took a step forward, just blocking Xiao Ting, but keeping a distance, so as not to be rude.

Xiao Ting said indifferently: "My concubine wants to go to the palace to see what kind of skills your prince has, and whether he can investigate this case clearly."

"It's our prince." Butler Mu emphasized with a smile.

Xiao Ting was speechless: "Well, it's our prince, go get busy and leave me alone."

"Wang Concubine, no wife is allowed to enter the palace without an edict!"

Xiao Ting: "..." So, how did she get in yesterday

Thinking about it, it seems that there is really such a rule. Yesterday she took out the booklet of the Ninth Prince, and they let it go.

And then treat her as the one who sent the memorial

"My concubine was ordered by the emperor to investigate the case, so they won't stop me, will they?"

If it wasn't for the concubine and aunt, how could she go to the palace, that boring place, she wouldn't even want to go!

Butler Mu replied in a polite manner, "The prince ordered this morning to tell the old slave to tell the princess that he has already taken over the matter. The princess was overworked and fell into the water yesterday, and needs to rest."

Nani

Overworked

Need to rest

He meow, rest a fart!

Xiao Ting was very depressed at the moment, and scolded the Ninth Prince as a master who was not born in the sky or born on the earth, butler Mu still smiled and escorted her back to the house.

Not a single complaint.

Before leaving, he looked at Xiao Ting meaningfully, and suddenly said, "Princess, please rest, the lord is very concerned about your body."

Xiao Ting couldn't digest it for a long time, what does this mean.

So let the red spoon call the green weed over.

After Lu Hua heard this, she smiled all over her face, and said solemnly: "The prince is interested in the princess."

"Shangxin? What the hell?"

Xiao Ting was surprised, why did she feel that these people knew everything, but she didn't understand anything, it was really annoying.

Lu Hui explained, "In the rumors, the Ninth Prince is very low-key. He is a person who is like a fairy. He doesn't care about world affairs, let alone gossip.

Hong Shao answered, "The lord gave the concubine a fan yesterday." Then he showed the fan to Lu Cai.

"This, this is Master Jingyue's sealed work, Watery Moon Hole in the Sky. It is said that the masterpiece is painted on a folding fan. Could it be this thing?" The amazing brilliance bloomed in the green grass eyes, looking at Xiao Ting.

Xiao Ting knew it was a treasure last night, but now that she heard about it, she felt it was even more precious.

She shook her head, "The lord said Yuchi Xinhan bought it for him, but he said it was useless so he threw it to me."

"How is it possible?" Lu Cai shook her head frequently, "If it's really this fan, it would be too precious."

Xiao Ting was speechless, "How much is it worth?"

The excitement in the hearts of the two maids was instantly cooled. Does her master remember money

Does she know, what is the point

This is your heart, this is a rare treasure, okay

"If it is true, it is a priceless treasure."

Xiao Ting smiled instantly, and made up her mind to ask Zhaohua if she recognized her next time she came to find her.

After all, although the green grass is very knowledgeable, it will be misjudged.

So, under Xiao Ting's influence, the two maids focused on the rare treasures and forgot the serious matter they were discussing.

As for entering the palace? Xiao Ting forgot.

The prince treats her well? She also forgot.

This precious fan is in my eyes and in my heart.

Near noon, the continuous drizzle also stopped, and there was a sense of coolness in the air. Xiao Ting stared at the door obsessively after lunch.

I don't know when the Ninth Prince will come back.

Seeing that she was listless, Hong Shao didn't even eat the fruits she usually likes, so she stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with the princess?"

Xiao Ting turned over and became more and more lazy, "It's okay, just move lazily."

This sleep lasted another hour, and when she opened her eyes, the bright red sun was already hanging high outside, all the water stains on the ground had been evaporated, only the air still showed a hint of warmth.

Xiao Ting got up from the soft couch, straightened her clothes, and went to see the two little ones step by step, seeing that they were studying hard, she wandered aimlessly around the mansion.

After a while, I came to the side gate, where there were guards on duty, Xiao Ting walked over curiously.

"The servant sees the princess."

Huh

"You know me?" She had never been here before, so she didn't know that there was a Taoist gate here.

The two guards looked helpless, how should they answer this.

Fortunately, when they were about to speak, Xiao Ting had already observed the situation here and found the exit.

"What's outside?"

It seems very remote here.

"If you go back to the princess, the Lion River is behind you!"

As soon as she heard it was a river, Xiao Ting's eyes lit up, she lifted her skirt and walked out.

The two guards didn't stop it, and it didn't work if they didn't stop them. The next one quickly went to report to Steward Mu, while the other stood at the door, with half of his body guarding inside and half of his body stretched out, looking at the figure of the princess going away.

Xiao Ting walked out of the alley as she said, and she saw a small river under the rows of willow trees.

The river is not wide, and there are still a few small boats rowing on it.

Seems to be transporting passengers.

There were three to five groups of people getting off the boat, Xiao Ting hurriedly walked up to it, and jumped up together with a few women without saying a word.

This boat is very beautiful and very long. After boarding with a few women, she began to look at it.

The hull is divided into two floors. There are people on the second floor who are laughing heartily, while Xiao Ting is staring at these people on the first floor.

They were all women, all of them were wearing green gauze, they looked much cooler than her.
