Chapter 005: Afraid of the Dark
·
The exchange of five palace maids shows his sincerity.
Although Fu Ye is only a six-year-old boy, he is naturally intelligent. So it is extremely difficult to fool him like a child. The little guy's dark phoenix eyes are like washed black grapes, which looks very much like his 95-year-old father. If it weren't for his young age, his cheeks were chubby, and his whole body was full of childishness, he would have looked a bit as majestic as his father.
Xiao Heng glanced at Ajiao, his eyes faintly.
Ajiao felt a little guilty and dared not look into Xiao Heng's eyes.
Although it was her first meeting, when she saw His Royal Highness the Prince, she thought of her younger brother at home. Although the little guy was taciturn and mature, she suddenly felt a little intimate. His Royal Highness was born by Empress Chen, and the marriage between Empress Chen and Emperor Jing He was also a good story in Yan Cheng. The deposed the harem and favored him alone, which shows how Jing He favored this Empress Chen.
But - if she wanted her to enter the palace to be the palace maid of His Royal Highness, she really didn't want to. Now His Royal Highness spoke, and she was worried that the prince would give her to His Royal Highness to the situation.
After all, she is just a little maid.
Fu Ye looked at Xiao Heng without saying anything, then said, "It's just a little maid. Can't cousin refuse?" In Fu Ye's eyes, a maid seemed to be a decoration, but it was just an extremely ordinary object. He liked it, but would not take it away without authorization, but with the permission of his master. These principles were taught by his mother, and he always kept it in mind and would never suppress others by virtue of his power.
Moreover, it was rare for him to feel that a maid was so pleasing to her. Fu Ye looked at Ajiao beside him and asked in a naive voice: "Are you willing to enter the palace?" If the maid was willing, his cousin should have nothing to say.
I thought I was just a young prince from a wealthy family, but I didn't expect it to be the current crown prince. Although I was young, I could not afford to offend him. Ajiao looked at Xiao Heng again when he heard this. She saw that the prince's face was light, and she looked like she was letting her make the decision. Ajiao certainly knew that she would answer at this moment, and the prince would definitely not stop him. After all, there was no need to offend His Highness for a small maid. But Ajiao thought about it seriously and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your love, but I want to serve the prince forever and don't want to leave the Duke's Mansion."
These words are extremely direct.
When Fu Ye heard this, his brows frowned and he was a little unhappy.
He glanced at Ajiao and felt that the maid had no strength, and then went to see Xiao Heng's face. The sensitive little guy suddenly realized that his cousin looked at the maid with a strange look. The six-year-old boy naturally had no idea about love, but he would inevitably be more influenced by his parents' love every day. He also often listened to his mother's muttering, saying that his cousin had not gotten married for a long time, and later he simply traveled with his second uncle.
Now this look is a bit like my father when he was looking at his mother.
Fu Ye thought for a while and said, "Forget it. But if you change your mind in the future, you will be able to come to me again." His Royal Highness's temper will be slightly better for his favorites, so he is quite generous at this moment.
Ajiao bent his lips and felt relieved.

Lunch is used at Mingyuan Villa.
Afterwards, Xiao Heng followed Mr. Han to learn painting, while Ajiao continued to fish by the lake with Fu Ye. In the afternoon, he had a lot of harvest. In the evening, Ajiao followed Xiao Heng out of the village.
His Highness the Crown Prince generously gave two fat big carp.
Ajiao took it with a smile and said with sincerity: "Please tell the prince, please tell the prince, thank you for the reward." Ajiao looked down at the two big red carp in the wooden barrel, and the fish swam very happily with its tail. Ajiao looked up and saw the prince looking at him. After this day, Ajiao was less restrained and boldly suggested in a low voice, "Criminal, will you try the sweet and sour carp I made tomorrow?"
Seeing that her fear of herself was slightly reduced, Xiao Heng nodded slightly and said, "Yes."
Today, she saw that the prince's taste was sweet and she thought she liked to eat sweet and sour fish. She asked herself that her cooking skills were pretty good, and her best was sweet and sour fish. She just went to Jitangxuan to serve her and needed to gain a foothold. Today, she refused the prince's proposal without hesitation. Although it was because she was unwilling to go, she also let the prince see her loyalty. No matter what, it was always a good thing.
Ajiao carried the wooden barrel onto the carriage. The two of them returned to the Duke of Jingguo Mansion together.
When he returned to the Duke of Jingguo's mansion, it was already dark. Ajiao put the fish in the kitchen of Jitangxuan, but saw Aunt Ruyi hurried to the Prince's study.
Ajiao was curious and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Aunt Ruyi, what happened?"
Ruyi's face was not good-looking. She tightly twisted her face and whispered to Ajiao: "Aunt Lu accidentally gave birth."
Aunt Lu? Ajiao's eyes paused, a little surprised. She naturally knew that Aunt Lu was the treasure of the Duke's heart. It is said that Aunt Lu and Duke were also childhood sweethearts. If it weren't for the marriage of the emperor later, the Duke would not have married the Duke's wife, and he was wronged by Aunt Lu as a concubine. Although she had only been in the mansion for three years, the Duke's love for Aunt Lu still knew a little about Aunt Lu's love. Aunt Lu likes to eat lychees, and every year when the lychees are ripe, they send the most to Aunt Lu's house.
only--
When did Aunt Lu get pregnant? There was no movement in this mansion.
Ruyi said: "Aunt Lu is less than three months pregnant, so she planned to wait until the baby is stable before talking. But today, the sixth girl had an argument with the fifth girl in the yard. Aunt Lu stepped forward to persuade her, but she was accidentally pushed to the ground by the sixth girl and saw red on the spot... The child was gone."
Ruyi looked anxious and said, "Forget it, you don't mean you. I have to tell the prince..." As she said that, she sighed again, "I don't know what the Sixth Girl suffered..."
The offspring is a top priority. Besides, Aunt Lu has such a heavy weight in the Duke's heart. Although the Sixth Girl is the legitimate daughter, when she thinks that the Duke's concerns about this daughter, Ajiao was a little worried. Seeing that the prince came out of the study, she was following Aunt Ruyi behind.
Ajiao thought about it and followed.
At this moment, the old lady, the Duke of the Kingdom and the Duke of the Kingdom are all in Tinglanju of Aunt Lu.
As soon as I entered, I saw the Duke in a gray round neck robe with a stern face, and the old lady sitting next to me was also worried. As for the sixth girl, Xiao Yuti, standing next to the Duke's wife, Lan, with a pale face, with red eyes, perhaps because she had just cried.
The sixth girl Xiao Yuti is born lively and bright, while the fifth girl Xiao Yuxian, who is standing next to the Duke of the Kingdom, is delicate and gentle, and looks very much like Aunt Lu, so the Duke of the Kingdom also feels a little bit more affectionate about this concubine. Logically speaking, this is really not worthy of Aunt Lu's favor. Speaking of which, Miss Liu is also a pitiful person. If it weren't for the Duke of the Kingdom's wife's backstage, her life would probably not be so comfortable.
Xiao Yuti looked red, looked at Xiao Heng who came in, and called out aggrievedly: "Brother."
Xiao Yuxiu has been married for many years, and now Xiao Heng only has such a sister by his side. No matter how bland he is, he loves her. He looked down at Xiao Yuti and opened his lips and asked, "What's going on?" He knew that this sister was a little arrogant, but she would not be so unreasonable to Aunt Lu.
Xiao Yuti honestly explained: "I just met my fifth sister in the yard. When I saw the kitten she raised, I wanted to make fun of it. Unexpectedly, the kitten was so strong that it scratched me hard..." As he said that, Xiao Yuti stretched out his hand. Perhaps before he could deal with it, the bloody scratches on the back of the white and tender hand were shocking. She continued, "So...so I had an argument with the fifth sister. As soon as Aunt Lu came over, she accidentally got me..." Her voice weakened, and the words afterwards were clear.
Duke Jingguo said with a grim expression: "It's obvious that he did something wrong, but he still has the face to make trouble with Xian'er."
The Duke’s wife stood here, but the Duke was so disrespectful, which shows that the Duke’s preference for Aunt Lu and the fifth girl. As he said that, the fifth girl Xiao Yuxian spoke and said softly: “It’s me that’s wrong, I shouldn’t be skeptical about my sixth sister.”
However, Duke Jingguo protected the fifth girl. When he heard that the fifth girl took the mistake to him, he protected him and said, "What is this? It's not your fault. Today, Sister Ti caused Aunt Lu to miscarriage and had to punish him. People come - to take the family law."
Family law.
Upon hearing the words, Xiao Yuti's face turned pale and hurriedly looked at her mother Lan on the side.
However, Lan's face was calm. Listening to the words of the Duke, he stood up and pulled his daughter to his side and said, "With me here, who dares to touch my daughter?" Lan's family was born into a noble family, and his temperament was intimidating. As soon as these light words fell, Duke Jingguo's face changed instantly. He looked at Lan and said, "You are spoiled by you. Today I will discipline you."
Lan's lips curled, and she seemed to feel a little funny: "The Duke of the State has never cared about his daughter. Today, he remembered that he was disciplined, and he used rattan as soon as he disciplined."
"You—" Duke Jingguo was so angry that he picked up the rattan handed over by his servants beside him and said, "This is a life. If you protect her again, you don't know what else will happen in the future."
Although Xiao Yuti was afraid of pain, she was even more reluctant to see her parents have a dispute. She knew that her parents had a bad relationship. If she started to make trouble because of her affairs, she would probably be even more dissatisfied. Xiao Yuti thought about it, knelt down with a "thump" and said to Lan: "Today's affairs are indeed bad for her daughter. Mom, you don't have to say anything to her daughter anymore." Finally, she looked up at Duke Jingguo and said, "Daughter is punished by her father..."
Duke Yasukuni had little feelings for this daughter, and now he was angry. After hearing this, he suddenly raised his vine and beat him hard.
Miss Six is a delicate girl from a noble family. How can she withstand the vineyard of a martial arts master? If you continue to fight, you will not be able to get rich.
Ajiao stood on one side and didn't dare to look down. But at this moment, the prince standing beside her quickly pulled up the sixth girl kneeling on the ground. The prince's rattan fell down and hit the prince's back with a "bang".
Ajiao was so scared that he hurriedly covered his mouth.
Xiao Heng pulled his sister up and said to Jingguo, "Although my sister had made mistakes today, she was young and knew she was wrong. This vine was considered to be the one who was my brother who was the one who was in her for her. I hope my father would be relieved and not care about it anymore." He paused and said, "After all, it is not good to protect his offspring, and Aunt Lu also has a responsibility."
Although the old lady didn't like Lan and the Sixth Girl, she still felt distressed for the eldest grandson. After such a vine was hit, her heart trembled and she hurriedly stood up and said, "Let's forget about this. Arong is also a kind-hearted person. After all, Ti is still young, and... she has no fate with that child." Arong is the name of Aunt Lu. The old lady looked at her grandson again, feeling distressed, and hurriedly said to Ajiao who was stunned on one side, "What are you still doing? Hurry up and take the prince back to apply medicine."
When Ajiao heard the old lady's words, he quickly looked up at Xiao Heng.
The old lady said to Lan again: "Okay, that's all for today's matter. You should take Sister Ti back too. Arong has just had a miscarriage and is just when she needs to rest, and it's like a quarrel."
Having said that, Lan had nothing to say, so he took his daughter out of Tinglanju with a calm face.
Ajiao followed Xiao Heng and went out together.
It was already evening, and the Duke of Jingguo had already held the lamp. But when he went to Jitangxuan, he had to pass through a bamboo forest. The wind was strong at night, causing the surrounding bamboo to rustle. Ajiao walked in front with the lamp in his hand, lighting the prince behind him, but he was trembling with cold and his body trembling. Thinking of the prince protecting the sister Sixth Girl just now, Ajiao was a little envious. If he had such an elder brother, he might not have been sold to the Duke of Guo's Mansion as a maid.
The wind was too strong, and the light she was holding in her hand was blown out, and the surroundings were instantly pitch black.
"Criminal Master?" Ajiao was in a state of excitement. When he saw the lights go out, he quickly stopped.
Xiao Heng knew that she was afraid of the darkness, but said, "Don't take the lantern, let's go."
After saying this, Ajiao had nothing to say. After all, because of the Sixth Girl, the prince was in a bad mood today, and he was just caught by a rattan man, so he probably felt uncomfortable. The young master of a wealthy family has always had a bad temper and would not be able to expose his anger to the heads of those of the current people. At this time, she naturally would not mess with him stupidly.
only--
It's so dark, where can she see clearly?
Ajiao had just walked a few steps and didn't know what he stepped on, but his body slid and staggered. Just as he was about to fall, a pair of arms behind him steadily caught her.
It was too dark at night, and Ajiao was breathing heavily.
