However, in the end, Zhuang Mingyue did not accompany the princess to read the book together, because not long after the princess finished breakfast, and before she brought the book, she suddenly became chaotic.

Originally, the palace was quiet, but I never thought that when there was chaos outside the palace, a little girl who was full of embarrassment and had soot on her face ran in in a panic, and fell to her knees in front of the princess.

The little girl didn't look very old, but she wasn't wearing the clothes of a palace maid.

Zhuang Mingyue sat on the side and didn't speak, just looked at this little girl quietly, the princess frowned slightly, as if she didn't expect this person to suddenly break in, her face showed a trace of displeasure, but she still looked at her patiently and asked, "What's going on, so panicked!"

As soon as the princess's words fell, a big palace maid who had been following her and had just gone out to get a book ran in anxiously with a book in her hand, and kept shouting, "It's not good!" ”

It was rare to see the people around her so unruly, and the princess suppressed the anger in her heart: "Okay! Why are you in such a panic? ”

The palace maid seemed to remember Zhuang Mingyue's existence at this time, and her footsteps paused and stopped.

His expression still looked extremely frightened, and he kept looking at the princess sitting on the chaise longue in a hurry.

"Niangniang, the side hall in the southwest corner suddenly caught fire, and the fire was a little fierce......"

Before the palace maid could finish her words, a puff of smoke came in from the outside, and through the window, it drifted densely into the room.

Zhuang Mingyue frowned, stood up abruptly and looked at the princess who was sitting motionless in her position and said, "Concubine Li, do you want to go outside to avoid it first?" Although this fire will not spread to the main hall for a while, there is no guarantee that there will be an accident, if the smoke of this flame enters the temple...... It's not good to choke on it. ”

Zhuang Mingyue originally intended to think about this princess, but it seemed that she was not in a hurry at all, but after listening quietly to Zhuang Mingyue's words, she suddenly covered her mouth and laughed: "Don't worry, the southwest corner is far away from the main hall, even if the entire palace is burned, it will be fine."

Originally, Zhuang Mingyue was still puzzled by this, but when she looked at the princess talking about this, she couldn't help but be a little speechless, and she didn't know what to say, so she could only sit down in her position again.

There was still chaos outside the palace, but there were people's footsteps, and some people shouted loudly, but no one walked in to disturb Zhuang Mingyue and the princess.

The little maid who broke in in a panic before was also taken out by the eldest princess, and when she left, the eldest palace maid also put the books she had taken in her hand on the table in front of the two.

Such a strange scene, coupled with the sound of people running around the outside, made Zhuang Mingyue couldn't help but start to look at the person in front of him carefully, maybe he had never really looked at the princess sitting in front of him, who was it.

Zhuang Mingyue's gaze was undisguised, which naturally attracted the attention of the princess, she raised the tea in front of her, took a sip gently, and then said leisurely: "It's just a small water walk."

That's it, you don't have to be nervous, I said it's okay, then it's going to be fine. ”

Zhuang Mingyue sighed and said: "Since Concubine Li is so calm, of course the people will not have too much panic, and thank you for your compassion."

The princess glanced at her and put down the teacup in her hand: "You are not nervous at all, if I just say casually, what if there is really an accident at that time?"

Zhuang Mingyue smiled and shook her head: "Concubine Li is the lord of the first palace, so naturally it is impossible to joke with ordinary people like me, so the folk girl naturally has nothing to worry about."

After these words came out, the princess glanced at her, dragged her chin against the table with interest, and put her other hand casually beside her: "I just heard Sister Zhaoyi mention you by chance before." I asked people to investigate, and sure enough, many rumors are not credible, it is better to see than to hear, you are a very interesting girl. ”

When she heard the princess say this, she didn't know why Zhuang Mingyue's uneasiness that she had been feeling suddenly dissipated a lot.

A heart that had been hanging suddenly fell to the ground.

The whole person suddenly became steady.

is no longer the same as before, when talking to the princess, he always looks cautious.

Zhuang Mingyue, who was relaxed, was naturally no longer as stiff as before, but adjusted her sitting posture to face the princess in a more comfortable way.

"I don't know if my mother still wants to read?"

Zhuang Mingyue had a smile on the corner of her eyes, and her eyebrows softened a lot, which was more pleasing to the eye than her previous stiff posture.

The princess also smiled, and then pushed the books in front of her into the distance, and didn't look at them again: "Forget it, Bengong doesn't have the heart to read these books, and I feel a headache when I look at these dense handwriting."

There is a complaining tone, and when these words are spoken, it does not make people feel disgusted, but has a kind of coquettishness and cuteness.

Zhuang Mingyue couldn't help but chuckle lightly in her heart, but she still tried hard to hold back the smile on her face, and didn't let herself be exposed: "Everyone has a different understanding of reading, since Niangniang feels a headache, why don't you find some picture books to read?"

Zhuang Mingyue proposed: "The painting book can be used to pass the time in your spare time, and it will not make Niangniang feel bored, some interesting folk stories are drawn in the painting book, and Niangniang can also tell it to Zhaoyi Niangniang as a story."

Maybe it was Zhuang Mingyue's last sentence that moved the princess, and she couldn't help but feel a little moved, so she asked curiously, "Picture book?"

Zhuang Mingyue nodded busily, and then gave a general introduction: "There are not only words in the picture book, but also the way the story is drawn into a painting, so that it will be more interesting to look at."

After listening to Zhuang Mingyue's description, the princess couldn't help but feel even more moved: "What did you say...... Let them look for it another day. ”

Zhuang Mingyue smiled.

The two of them chatted about other topics, all of which were daily trivialities, and most of the time the princess talked about it, and Zhuang Mingyue was listening, occasionally saying something about what she had seen and heard, which attracted the princess's sigh.

The chaotic sound outside the palace didn't affect the two of them, but the sound lasted for a short time, and it quickly fell silent.

It wasn't until the sound outside the palace gradually disappeared that Zhuang Mingyue focused on the people walking around the door, and the princess saw her thoughts, so she proposed, "Do you want to go out and have a look?"

Zhuang Mingyue was stunned: "Now?"

The princess nodded: "It just so happens that I went to see what the side hall in the southwest corner was burned into, and I will probably be busy again tonight."

When the princess said this, she didn't mean to avoid suspicion at all, but said it generously in front of Zhuang Mingyue, how smart Zhuang Mingyue was, and immediately guessed what it meant to make a fuss today.

When she guessed all this, Zhuang Mingyue raised her head in surprise and looked at the princess in front of her with a smile on her face and a clear look in her eyes, as if she could see the bottom at a glance, with a soft smile on her face.

There was complete silence outside the room.

The princess didn't seem to notice Zhuang Mingyue's abnormality, but still said with a soft look: "How is it?" Going? After this village, there is no such shop. ”

Zhuang Mingyue nodded subconsciously, and when she walked out of the door behind the princess, the small garden outside the entire palace was in a mess.

Many people were walking in a hurry, but when they saw the princess come out, they hurriedly knelt down again, covered with the water that had dripped from the fire just now and the stains that had been smoked from the thick smoke.

The princess just waved her hand, and the men went about their business again.

Walked all the way and came to the so-called place where the fire started, it was a side hall that had not been used for a long time, and it was probably used to pile up sundries, but the fire was too fierce, and now looking at the house that had become a ruin, Zhuang Mingyue saw the little girl who had broken into the palace before in the crowd.

Sensing Zhuang Mingyue's gaze, she naturally saw the girl trembling in the crowd.

"She's a little maid I begged from Your Majesty."

The princess suddenly opened her mouth to explain, which made Zhuang Mingyue feel very surprised: "Little girl? But she wasn't wearing the palace maid's palace clothes. ”

The princess shook her head and said, "Strictly speaking, she is not a person in the palace, but by chance she ate the food she cooked before, and I thought it was very delicious and I liked it very much, so I begged Your Majesty to let her stay by my side."

As the princess said this, she looked at the burned side hall again: "Before this little maid came here, this side hall has always been just used to pile up some things that are not needed, after she came, this side hall was changed into a small kitchen, I have never asked her to the rules of the palace on weekdays, and these things happened today, but it makes you laugh."

Zhuang Mingyue shook her head: "It's not enough to laugh, so what will she do after that?"

Of course, what Zhuang Mingyue asked was not where the little maid lived after that, but where the little maid would go after this incident.
