Chapter 003: Three Years

·

Ajiao was a little stunned. When she heard the prince repeat it again, she slowly walked over. She didn't know what the prince told her to do, but the master was sent, and she had only obedience to the current person. As soon as she settled down, she heard the prince say, "Sit down."

sit down?

Ajiao looked at the red sandalwood marble backrest chair beside her in surprise, and was a little uncertain. Then he looked up at the man in front of him. The prince was born with wide shoulders and narrow waist, tall and tall, more than one head taller than her. In addition, her demeanor made her look even more cramped. Ajiao sat down tremblingly, and saw that the prince also sat opposite her, and then reached out to put the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard into the chess baskets on both sides.

Looking at this posture, Ajiao suddenly understood what the prince called her to do.

But Ajiao was still confused-

A moment ago, she even issued an order to expel guests to Miss Six, why are you thinking about playing chess again? And... she is just a little maid, what if she can't play chess? But - she does know how to play chess, but the prince's prince doesn't know about this. The more A Jiao thought about it, the more strange she felt, she raised her eyelashes and her eyes fell on the prince's big hands. A Jiao felt that as a maid, how could she sit like this and let the prince collect the chess pieces?

Ajiao hurriedly reached out to help.

Xiao Heng, who was collecting chess pieces, paused and looked at Ajiao.

Ajiao didn't dare to speak at this moment, so he just kept the chess pieces quietly. However, the chessboard was so big that she was afraid that she would accidentally touch the prince's hand.

After collecting the chess pieces, Ajiao raised his eyes and saw the prince looking at him. He was nervous for a moment. He slid his lips and was about to speak, but he heard the prince open his mouth: "Can you play chess?"

I really want to play chess with her.

Ajiao knew that if she said no at this moment, she might have ruined the prince's pleasure. She just came to Shutangxuan, and if she made the prince unhappy now, she would probably not have a good life in the future. Ajiao nodded and said, "I... I understand a little bit." Her chess skills are naturally much better than ordinary people, but the prince is not an ordinary person? The sixth girl's chess skills are outstanding, and they are also vulnerable to the prince's face, let alone her.

Xiao Heng nodded and said to Ajiao: "Let's make a move."

He didn't dislike him, and Ajiao could only bite his teeth and go on.

Ajiao held the cold jade-like white zi in his hand, thinking that everything in the prince's house was valuable, and even the chessboard was the best she had ever touched. Ajiao didn't think about it anymore, and made a gentle move. The white zi fell on the chessboard and made a crisp and pleasant sound, which made her lip bend, and the originally tense mood gradually relaxed.

Ajiao asked himself that his chess skills were not as good as those of the prince, but he also knew how to do his best and make every move. But he didn't know if it was her illusion. The prince only defended but did not attack, and the situation was gentle, and he seemed to deliberately let her go. In this way, she gained the upper hand. She did not dare to say anything, and she didn't know what the princes of these wealthy families were thinking, so she just kept making moves quietly.

Xiao Heng asked casually, "How old are you?"

Ajiao did not expect that the prince would take the initiative to chat with her, because she knew that the prince was a taciturn person, for example, when he was playing chess with the Sixth Girl, he didn't say a word.

Ajiao replied, "It's almost fourteen."

It is winter now, and after the New Year, she will be fourteen. In Daqi, the girl's family can get married at the age of fourteen. But she dare not expect these things, and she only hopes to leave the house at the age of twenty.

After hearing Ajiao's answer, Xiao Heng looked up at the little girl in front of him. Seeing that she had a palm-sized cheek, her skin was pink and tender, her eyebrows and eyes were dark, and her appearance was indescribably bright and delicate. Her cheeks were tender and she was indeed small.

He is twenty-five, but she is under fourteen.

Xiao Heng's eyes darkened, and he felt a little ridiculous.

Xiao Heng lost another son and continued to ask, "When will we enter the mansion?"

Ajiao originally thought that the prince asked casually because of boredom, but now she asked so clearly that she was a little suspicious. Ajiao looked at Xiao Heng in front of her with a chess piece and replied, "Three years ago..." Seeing that the prince's eyes were directed at her, her eyes were scaryly dark, she immediately thought of something, saying word by word, "The third year of Jinghe, the seventh day of November."

On the seventh day of the 11th month of the third year of Jinghe, Xiao Heng bent his lips and didn't say anything, but just fell down with a "splash".

He left Yancheng on the sixth day of November in the third year of Jinghe.

Ajiao didn't know what the prince was asking about these things, but after asking these two questions, he saw that the prince didn't sound and continued to play chess with her. Ajiao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that his answer would make him unhappy. Now that he saw him playing chess with her quietly, she no longer had to worry. But I have to say that the prince's mood was really unstable. He had obviously given up on her before, but after asking, he seemed to have changed his mind, pressing her step by step, killing her without leaving any armor.

He threw away his armor and suffered a crushing defeat. Ajiao wanted to cry without tears.

She knew she would lose, but she didn't expect she would lose so badly. After all, it was a little girl, and she lost so badly. How dare Ajiao look up and see him now? Ajiao thought that the prince and the sixth girl had played chess for at least two quarters of a minute before, and the sixth girl was still yelling that the prince was merciless... Now she played chess with the prince for less than a quarter of an hour.

This was originally a proud chess skill that made Ajiao feel unprecedentedly frustrated.

Ajiao felt guilty of being poor at chess, and his ears were so hot for a moment. Xiao Heng was like a ok, calmly putting the chess piece into the chess basket, without any sense of how cruel it was to use a little girl. He looked at the girl's red earlobes, the small and shiny earlobes, red, but the earlobes were clean and they were not even worn. Xiao Heng's eyes suddenly became soft.

When Ajiao saw that the prince seemed to be looking at her ears, he was a little strange for a moment. Then he blushed and said, "I am not good at chess skills, so I am laughing at the prince."

Xiao Heng had no intention of being disgusted at all, and just took his eyes lightly.

Ajiao didn't know what the prince was thinking, but he felt that he was feeling uncomfortable at this moment. When the prince finally spoke and asked her to retreat, Ajiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Ajiao returned to Jitangxuan's servant's room.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Linglong's face full of anger. Linglong wanted to say something, but Jinse next to her pulled her and seemed to be whispering. Ajiao frowned, thinking that life in Shutangxuan might be difficult. The first day was like this, and she still didn't know what would happen in the future. Although she was almost fourteen, she had been in the Duke's Mansion for three years, so naturally she was not stupid and ignorant. She had heard a lot of things about the mansion.

She always remembers that one should not have the intention to harm others, and one should not be without the intention to guard against others.

Jinse comforted Linglong, but subconsciously glanced at Ajiao.

She had to admit that Ajiao looked so good. Although she was wearing a light green jacket like a maid in the mansion, her naked skin was as frost as snow, as tender as fat, her chest was slightly raised, and her figure was so delicate that she could imagine what kind of graceful spring scenery it was. She was not as restless as Linglong, but she was also worried. The prince was a person who didn't like women. Today she and Linglong went to serve her and were sent back immediately, but Ajiao stayed in the house for so long.

After the Sixth Girl left, only she and the Prince were left in the room, and they didn't know what they did.

When the Duke of the Kingdom brought her and Linglong back to Shitangxuan to serve the prince, she felt indescribable joy, but she knew that the Duke of the Kingdom liked generous and decent, so she could bear it even if she was happy. She and Linglong were sure that she was better than Linglong, but now that A Jiao is more than Ah Jiao, she is a difficult opponent.

Ajiao would not make fun of himself, but he was just sitting on his couch to embroider the unedited purse, quietly without saying a word. It was strange that the three of them came to Shutangxuan, but the prince seemed to not want to send him at all. The three of them were so idle.

Until evening, Ruyi came over and asked Ajiao to go and watch the prince's night.

Now Ajiao began to worry.

Logically speaking, there are so many maids in wealthy families who are guarding the night. However, everyone in the house knows that the prince likes quietness and does not like to contact each other on weekdays, let alone when sleeping, so there is never a maid who guards the night. As soon as this happens, Ajiao remembers what Mrs. Bai Riguo said to her.

——The prince won’t really plan to eat her, right?

She also wanted to save enough money to redeem herself when she was twenty years old, but if she became the prince's wife, how could she get married in the future? Ajiao was worried, but Ruyi was urging her so hard that she didn't dare to neglect anything, so she hurried over.

As soon as he entered the Prince's bedroom, a servant in green came towards him, which was Zhu Sheng beside the Prince. He said politely to Ajiaoke: "Miss Ajiao is here, the Prince is bathing..." As he said, he explained some more words, and finally said, "Please help the Prince."

Ajiaomumu responded.

She listened to the sound of water coming from the clean room and hesitated for a moment whether to go in and serve. She had never served the men to bathe, but the young men in the mansion were served by maids when bathing. Ajiao thought about it and then pretended to be calm and asked: "Criminal, do you need a servant to come in?"

Ajiao's heartbeats like a drum for a moment. When he heard the sound of water inside, he said "No need" and then let out a long sigh.

She was waiting quietly outside, her head was a little depressed, and she had a lot of thoughts for a while. I have to say that the prince was indeed the best among the princes in the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion. Ajiao suddenly remembered those slender and beautiful big hands, and then he bent his lips.

After a long time, the sound of water inside gradually faded, and Ajiao immediately cheered up.

She looked up and looked at the prince wearing a white bedclothes, with her ink hair spreading, a little wet. Ajiao didn't dare to look at it anymore, but at this time he knew that he should marry a scarf to wipe his hair for the prince. Ajiao hurriedly took the scarf and was about to serve the prince to wipe his hair, but he heard the prince say, "No need, go out and rest."

Rest? Ajiao was a little stunned.

Xiao Heng looked at the little girl in a daze and said, "I will call you if I have something to do."

Now Ajiao understood. The prince didn't like people to get close to him, so he didn't want her to serve him. But this was exactly what she wanted. Ajiao bowed and stepped back and walked slowly to the outside room.

But she didn't dare to really rest. After all, the master inside was still moving, so how could she, the maid who guarded her, had the reason to sleep first? With a light on the outside, Ajiao simply picked up the purse that was about to be embroidered to do embroidery work.

After almost no movement inside, Ajiao yawned and went to bed.

It is early winter now, and it is getting colder and colder. She has always been afraid of the cold, and the prince's house is much warmer than the lower house. Today, the prince has no intention of letting her serve her, but Ajiao is a little worried when she thinks of the Duke's wife. The Duke's wife gave her the booklet, but she, a girl, dares not read it? Fortunately, the prince is a gentleman, and has no intention of that at all. Ajiao breathed a long sigh and thought to himself, what should she say if the Duke's wife asked her in the future.

Thinking of this, Ajiao fell asleep quickly.

The second update was over, and Xiao Heng inside was uneasy. He put on his shoes and walked outside to see the little girl crouching on the couch, and couldn't take her eyes off for a while. She was afraid of the cold and wrapped herself tightly in winter, especially at night.

Xiao Heng's eyes fell on the purse next to the pillow, with exquisite orchids embroidered on the purse, and her needlework was always better. He paused and went to look at her face again.

Seeing the little girl frowning, Xiao Heng also held her eyebrows and hurriedly reached out to smooth it out. The warm and delicate touch of her finger belly made Xiao Heng tremble his hands. He stroked her one by one, but the little girl frowned stubbornly. At such a young age, she even had something to worry about in her sleep.

Thinking of something, Xiao Heng reached out to her earlobe.
