Chapter 135: Survival
“……”
She was taken aback by her knee-jerk reaction.
Before the crossing, when you meet competitors who don't deal with you anymore, and occasionally reach a certain consensus, you will also seem to have a good relationship like this.
Xue Jinyi doesn't think those competitors can be compared to the King of Chu, and what is cute? People like King Chu can't get along with the word "cute" for eight lifetimes.
King Chu didn't react, his eyes were deep, cold like a big stone.
She quickly let go of her hand, and just half of it was retracted, and was firmly held by the King of Chu.
"What for?" As soon as she raised her head, she met the eyes of King Chu.
The moonlight and starlight fell on those dark eyes, shimmering with coldness.
But Xue Jinyi didn't feel the danger from inside.
"Behind you are steps." King Chu said.
Xue Jinyi glanced back, and sure enough, she was about to step on the empty steps if she took another step back.
The night is thick, the palace lamp under the verandah emits an orange-yellow light, illuminating the road under your feet, if you are not careful, it is not easy to notice that the middle section of the verandah will go down two steps according to the terrain.
Somehow, the King of Chu gently pulled her, and Xue Jinyi was caught off guard and stood closer to him.
In the courtyard, the insects hiding in the grass tirelessly made a "squeak" sound, and under this sound, Xue Jinyi could clearly hear the breathing of the King of Chu.
She lowered her eyes, and was about to speak, when laughter rang out from the end of the verandah.
King Chu let go of his hand.
Xue Jinyi took a step to the side at the same time, and when she looked back, she saw Yu'er walking with the two maids, talking and laughing.
Seeing them on the verandah, the three of them hurriedly put away their laughter and saluted in a proper manner.
Yu'er's mouth is sweet and lively, and she is naturally easy to please, but after the day's events, Xue Jinyi had to have one more heart, and she smiled at the King of Chu: "Yu'er can sing and dance, I don't know if I can stay in the eldest princess's mansion?" ”
Yu'er was stunned for a moment, and looked at the King of Chu with a blank eye.
The maids of the eldest princess's mansion have a very good degree of food and clothing, if they can stay here, at least they don't have to worry about food and clothing, maybe there is a lot of reward, if they get the love of the eldest princess and find a good marriage, they don't have to worry about the rest of their lives.
King Chu said: "In this matter, just talk to the steward directly to make arrangements." ”
"Yu'er, are you willing to stay in the eldest princess's mansion for the time being and do what you can?" Xue Jinyi asked Yu'er again, thinking about her situation in the Weiguo Mansion, the only way to stay here is to keep Yu'er here.
Yu'er was overjoyed, and saluted and said, "Yu'er is willing, thank you Miss Xue for being willing to take me in!" ”
"I owe credit the owner of this mansion." Xue Jinyi reminded: "So you have to remember that this is the eldest princess's mansion, and the eldest princess is the aunt of the current emperor, so you must be cautious in your words and deeds." ”
"Miss Xue, don't worry, Yu'er will obediently learn the rules with others, do things in peace, and don't dare to trouble Miss Xue." Yu'er said with a well-behaved face.
With the example of Caiyun in the past, Xue Jinyi believes that the housekeepers and grandmothers in the eldest princess's mansion can be optimistic about Yu'er.
Xue Jinyi nodded, "It's been a tiring day, let's rest early." ”
Yu'er smiled sweetly at her and left with the maids.
Xue Jinyi watched them walk away, hoping that Yu'er could see clearly what kind of path was beneficial to her, and not be confused for a while.
She sighed softly.
King Chu said: "I will say hello to the steward, you don't need to worry about her." ”
"I'm sorry for you." Xue Jinyi stretched, "I'm going back to sleep." ”
The two returned to the guest courtyard one after the other, Xue Jinyi walked into the small courtyard without looking back, Pu Yangzhen was lying on the table, his head was little by little, and his eyelids were fighting.
Hearing the sound, she suddenly opened her eyes and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you back so soon?" ”
"You're sleepy," Xue Jinyi tapped her nose lightly, "It can be seen that we have been walking for a long time." ”
"How is it," Pu Yangzhen wrapped his arms around her, "Are you happy to take a walk with Brother Xuan?" ”
"I'm very happy." Xue Jinyi said with a smile.
Pu Yangzhen proudly straightened her waist, and when Brother Xuan and her sister-in-law were happy, she felt extremely satisfied.
The next day, Xue Jinyi and the King of Chu appeared in the flower hall together and saluted the eldest princess.
The eldest princess looked at Xue Jinyi's face and said with a smile: "I have been giving birth for a few days, and my complexion is much better." Are your injuries completely healed? ”
"Thank you aunt and grandmother for your concern," Xue Jinyi said softly: "Jinyi asked the doctor to see it yesterday afternoon, and said that she can move freely." Jinyi thought about Ah Xuan's hard work in the past few days, and she really couldn't bear to let him be so busy, and wanted to be by his side and share a share of the burden. ”
The eldest princess praised: "What a good boy, and I won't rest for a few more days." ”
"Auntie, Jinyi has rested enough." Xue Jinyi smiled at the eldest princess.
The eldest princess joked: "You, you are the most attentive to Xuan'er." ”
Xue Jinyi smiled shyly.
The eldest princess said: "Now that the resettlement of refugees has been arranged, some people continue to stay in the flower hall, and the rest go back to their respective yamen, so it is not good to delay the national affairs, if you really have time to go to Lantian County to help." She looked at the Tobe squire, "Specifically, I'll trouble you to arrange it." ”
The head of the household arched his hand and said, "Wechen obeys." ”
The others stood up in unison and saluted the eldest princess.
One of the people sent by the East Palace stood up and said to the eldest princess: "Your Highness, the little ones are willing to do their best for the refugees, and they are also worthy of the important responsibility entrusted by the prince to the little ones. ”
"Okay," the eldest princess nodded very happily, "you pack up and go to Lantian County today." ”
The man was slightly stunned, thinking that after the prince's accident, the eldest princess would use the excuse that the refugee's affairs were almost arranged and drove them back to the East Palace.
The eldest princess continued: "There are many of you, and it is troublesome to go back and forth, so I will write a document and ask the Lantian County Ya to arrange a place for you to live, and then assign a few small servants to take care of your daily life." ”
There was a "buzzing" sound in the man's head, he originally wanted to test the eldest princess, and he didn't want people to climb up the pole directly.
What can they do now?
If you say it yourself, and the words of the eldest princess are here, of course, you are going to Lantian County, and you are going to live a life of being watched!
The eldest princess saw that these people from the East Palace were all a little discouraged, hooked her lips, and said to Xue Jinyi and them kindly: "Xuan'er, Jinyi, you go quickly." ”
After Xue Jinyi saluted, he left the flower hall side by side with the king of Chu.
No sooner had they stepped out of the threshold than a figure hurriedly brushed their shoulders and burst into the flower hall.
"Eldest Princess, the emperor has summoned you and His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and Miss Xue of the Weiguo Mansion is also going."
