Ajiao wanted to reach out to pick it up, but someone was one step faster than her.

Xiao Heng picked it up calmly, his fingers were as slender as jade, and he put his purse in his arms without any haste, and his expression seemed quite calm.

Ajiao didn't dare to look up at his face.

He just paused and walked towards the carriage.

Ajiao got on the carriage, and her heart was jumping wildly. Something came out of her mind and was about to break out of the cocoon, but she didn't dare to think about it.

But... it's not her who should be guilty of this matter

When Qingqing saw her sister's appearance, she said curiously: "Sister, the purse that the prince's falls just now is..." As if she had thought of something, Qingqing quickly stopped talking and did not dare to continue. In Daqi, the purse is the token of love for the girl's family. If the man took the purse, it would be considered as having a love affair. She gave the purse to Qi Jun at that time. Although Qi Jun accepted it, she did not carry it with her like Prince Xiao. After all, if such things fell out, it would be a joke. Men should not be too affectionate.

But now - Prince Xiao hid the purse close to her body, which shows how much Prince Xiao attaches importance to this purse.

To be more precise, it is Prince Xiao's emphasis on the owner of the purse.

Qingqing paused and suddenly understood.

Could it be that Prince Xiao already has a girl he likes in his mind?

Then what is her sister? Qingqing frowned and suddenly became angry. She originally thought that the prince was a good man and treated her sister well, but now she looked like this, so she didn't want her sister to follow Prince Xiao.

Although they are all concubines, there are no one in their hearts, which is different. If Prince Xiao has no one in his heart, then with her sister's appearance and temperament, Prince Xiao will definitely be very pampered; but if someone in his heart, then with her sister's temperament, she will not feel disgusted.

OK.

Anyway, with my sister's character and appearance, I don't have to worry about not being able to find a good husband.

Qingqing turned her head and looked at her sister's distracted look, and knew that her sister still liked the prince. If she didn't like it, then she would not show such an expression when she saw Prince Xiao carrying the purse given by another girl. After all, a handsome and noble man like Prince Xiao, her sister is in the middle of a young girl's heart, and it is normal to have a love for her. But this relationship is shallow, and her sister will only be sad for a few days at most.

only--

As a result, she lost a little bit of affection for Prince Xiao. Qingqing thought to herself: It’s a pity that Prince Xiao can’t become her brother-in-law so good.

The two sisters were speechless all the way, and the carriage quickly entered the city.

Yancheng is prosperous, Qingqing loves the most lively, so she opens the curtain and looks outside. Looking at the many lively shops, it is dazzling, and she can't help but exclaim: "Sister, Yancheng is so lively. Look, they look so beautiful in clothes..." Qingqing put down the curtain and said to Ajiao, "Sister, do you often come out on weekdays?"

As soon as these words were finished, Qingqing subconsciously bit her lip. Her sister was a maid in the Duke of Jingguo Mansion, and she was not a lady. How could she come out often?

When Ajiao heard his sister's words, he didn't think about what he had just happened. He looked outside and said, "I have been serving the old lady before. The old lady is a lively person, so she often takes me out. There are many jewelry shops and pastry shops in Yancheng. I will take you to see you tomorrow."

This was exactly what Qingqing said, so she hugged Ajiao's arm and shook it, her round little face filled with smiles, and said, "Sister, you are so nice."

Ajiao bent his lips and didn't say anything.

Qingqing knew that her sister must be feeling uncomfortable at this moment, so she comforted her: "Sister, actually... in fact... if you don't like Prince Xiao, it's good to get married after leaving the house."

Ajiao frowned, a little surprised, turned his head to look at his sister: "That's not what you said before."

Qingqing regretted it a little and thought to herself: Didn’t she think that Prince Xiao was infatuated with her sister before? She smiled and bit her lip and said: “Actually, I think Prince Xiao is quite reasonable. Sister, you are only twenty years old, so how can you marry a good family? You can go and plead with Prince Xiao and ask him to let you out of the house earlier, wouldn’t it be enough?”

Ajiao thought for a while and said, "Yes. I understand." Then he lowered his eyelashes and lowered his eyes and stopped talking.

·

The carriage stopped in front of a large mansion.

Ajiao got off the carriage with his sister. Looking at the generous house in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned. Qingqing, who was beside him, opened her eyes wide and said excitedly: "Sister, this house is so big, so majestic..."

Ajiao knew that the prince had always spent money like soil, so it was naturally not surprising to have such a grand house.

On the other side, Xiao Heng carried Ayu down from the horse's back. He glanced at the two little girls beside him and said, "Go in."

The two nodded and followed quickly.

As soon as I entered, a nanny in her forties, wearing a blue cloth cotton jacket, came to greet her. There was also a tall and thin middle-aged man next to her, who looked like a housekeeper.

When Madam Jiang and Butler Liang heard that the prince was coming today, they came out early to wait. Seeing that the prince was coming, they immediately greeted him and bowed.

Madam Jiang knew the prince's character, and even the sixth girl had never been here in this house. Today, she actually made a special trip to bring people over, so they naturally had to make full preparations. She glanced at the little boy next to the prince, and was born quite satisfactory. Then her eyes fell on the two little girls behind the prince.

Looking at the appearance of these two people, Madam Jiang was stunned.

The two little girls were about the same size. The one on the left was wearing a light pink embroidered orchid jacket, and a red bright flower pleated skirt on the lower body. They looked like almond eyes and peach cheeks, their eyebrows and eyes were lively, and they looked charming and charming. The one on the right was wearing a short red diamond jacket and a jade embroidered and embroidered branches and flowers. As for their appearance, they looked as beautiful as the fairy in the painting. Madam Jiang was also a person who had served them. Any lady who was not satisfied with her looks, she looked beautiful when dressed up.

And these two people are wearing the most ordinary dresses and are still thirteen or fourteen years old, and are already so bright. How can they wait for another one or two years?

This was the first time the prince brought people to the house, and he was still a girl. Madam Jiang was also a person with strong eyes, so she smiled appropriately and gave a bow to Ajiao Qingqing and the others.

Ajiao hurriedly said, "Mum, don't be too polite." They are not girls from some wealthy families.

Madam Jiang smiled, "The prince brought the distinguished guests. I don't know what to call the two girls?"

Ajiao smiled and said, "Just call me Ajiao, this is my sister Qingqing."

Madam Jiang said, "Miss Ajiao, Miss Qingqing", then welcomed the two of them in, and said as she walked: "It's cold outside, the two girls are frozen. Let's sit in the warm room for a while and have a cup of hot tea."

It was the prince who came to ask the nanny to greet them. Ajiao was a little flattered, but he also paid attention to his behavior to avoid losing the prince.

However, this Madam Jiang is a warm and friendly person, while Qingqing is always sweet-mouthed. Now that she likes this place, she started chatting with Madam Jiang.

As for Ajiao, he didn't say much, just looked at the house.

——The inside of this house is more generous than that of the outside.

Madam Jiang led the two of them through the Chuanhuamen Tower, and walked into the veranda, until she reached an attic called "Bright Moon Jiaojiao", and then stopped. Ajiao looked at the big and powerful characters on the plaque, and couldn't take their eyes off for a while. When she was in the Hall Pavilion, most of them followed the prince in the study, so she recognized the word at a glance, but the trend of this technique did not look like it was recently.

Madam Jiang looked at Ajiao's expression and looked up at the inscription. Then she suddenly realized, but then she became more and more confused. Madam Jiang smiled and said, "This was written by the prince when he bought this house six years ago."

Six years ago.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Ajiao felt that she was indeed a little self-indulgent. What was she thinking just now...

Qingqing said in surprise: "Is this house personally bought by the prince?"

Madam Jiang nodded, speaking proudly: "No, the prince always likes to do things by himself. Most of the arrangements here are based on the prince's requirements. Moreover, the prince has worked hard to build a greenhouse in the backyard, so that even in winter, you can see all kinds of flowers."

Qingqing's eyes lit up and she exclaimed: "The prince is so amazing."

Madam Jiang bent her lips and smiled, agreeing with Qingqing's words.

The three of them entered the warm cupboard and took a seat. Madam Jiang ordered the maid to bring hot tea. Ajiao felt a little cold. Now he was sitting in the warm cupboard, holding the hot tea in his hand, which was the most comfortable.

There are also a few plates of lush candy cakes, sesame phoenix rolls, golden silk crispy sparrows, and Ruyi rolls on the red sandalwood carved table next to it.

"Madam Jiang, what kind of tea is this? It is fragrant and sweet, and it tastes so delicious." Qingqing asked while eating Ruyi rolls.

Seeing that the two girls were easy-going and liked them more and more, Madam Jiang said, "This is flower tea, with honey added, which is most suitable for girls to drink." Then, "The two girls will sit here for a while, I'll go to the kitchen to see how lunch is being cooked."

After Madam Jiang left, Qingqing blinked at Ajiao and said, "Sister, how comfortable you are in this kind of life."

Ajiao knew what his sister was thinking and told him: "You are polite, you should be careful."

Qingqing whimpered in dissatisfaction, picked up a piece of sugar cake and stuffed it into her mouth.

Two quarters of an hour later, Xiao Heng led Ayu into the warming pavilion.

A Yu ran to Ajiao excitedly and called out: "Sister."

Qingqing reached out and knocked Ayu on the head, saying, "When you have an elder sister, have you forgotten your second sister?"

Ayu smiled and said, "Second Sister."

Qingqing smiled.

Ayu said, "Brother Xiao took me around just now, and I was dizzy when I saw it." He turned around and looked at Xiao Heng and said, "Brother Xiao, your family is so big."

Xiao Heng seemed to be in a good mood, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He did not correct his words, but said, "If you like it, you can live here when you come back to Yancheng next time."

After speaking, he looked up at Ajiao who had stood up from the moment he came in.

As soon as Ajiao looked up, he met Xiao Heng's eyes.

She was stunned, then quickly lowered her eyes, and said with a trembling voice: "Criminal, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look." As she said that, she walked out of the warm cabinet like a run.

Xiao Heng turned around and looked at the little girl's skirt while walking, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised.

·

The dishes for lunch were quite hearty.

Ajiao didn't want to have dinner together, after all, this place is different from her family. However, when the prince spoke, she could only sit down with a tough bullet.

Ajiao looked at the eating behavior of his younger brother and sister, and whispered to him, but the prince, who is the person who doesn't like to make noise the most, now he looks like Qingqing Ayu and speaks while eating. He doesn't look angry at all, and he looks in a good mood. Ajiao is a little helpless, but can only hold on to eating with chopsticks.

Qingqing said: "Sister, do you still remember that I like sweet food the most. These sweet and sour carp are so delicious."

Ajiao's hand holding the chopsticks paused, but no answer.

Xiao Heng smiled and said, "This fish was just caught from Mingyue Lake in front of the house this morning. If you like it, eat more."

"Yeah." Qingqing nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you, Prince."

·

At night, Ajiao went to serve the prince to wash as usual. But her mood was different now, but it was strange to say that it was clearly her reasonable side, but now she felt guilty.

Ajiao stood outside the clean room, listening to the sound of water inside, his hands folded, and his heart was a little confused.

Seeing that the prince came out and the water stains on his body had not yet dried, Ajiao took a clean towel to wipe it on him.
