I don't know how long I soaked in this bucket, but when Zhuang Mingyue opened her eyes again, the water was just warm.

Standing outside the door, I didn't dare to enter the door, but just stayed quietly outside.

When he got up from the water, because he fell asleep in the bath, there was a momentary rush of blood in his head, and he only felt dizzy in front of him, and Zhuang Mingyue, who was standing in the bathtub, almost slipped under his feet.

Fortunately, he held the edge of the bucket in time, but he made a loud enough noise to attract the attention of the little maid outside the door.

"Miss, do you need a slave to come in and serve?"

Zhuang Mingyue replied in a loud voice: "No need, I will call you when there is something."

The little maid did not continue to speak.

Zhuang Mingyue wiped her body clean, changed her clothes, and walked out of the room with her hair wet.

The little maid heard the movement and got permission, so she re-entered the room, skillfully picked up the dry handkerchief that was placed aside, and wiped Zhuang Mingyue's hair.

"What's your name?"

Leaned on the bathtub and slept just now, even if Zhuang Mingyue, who was awake at the moment, still felt a little sleepy, the little girl's craftsmanship was very good, making Zhuang Mingyue drowsy, squinting her eyes comfortably like a cat and leaning on the back of the chair.

The little maid's voice was very gentle: "If Miss Hui speaks, the slave has no name."

This answer was beyond Zhuang Mingyue's expectations: "How can there be no name?"

The little maid's wiping hand suddenly became much lighter, and after a while, she heard her voice: "The slave and maid were born in a poor family, and the father and mother did not name the slave and maid......

Zhuang Mingyue opened her mouth, but she also reacted, here, her daughter is not as good as a man.

Not to mention that in poor families, in the eyes of some older generations, giving birth to a daughter is giving birth to a loss of money.

"How about I give you a name?"

Hearing this, the little girl's eyes widened for a moment, and she seemed to have a little light: "Thank you, Miss, for the name."

Zhuang Mingyue smiled: "It's better to call you Xin Yi." The name comes from a poem, the remnants of spring on the stream are scarce, and the apricot blossoms are flying. ”

After getting the new name, Xin Yi knelt down gratefully: "Thank you Miss for the name!"

Zhuang Mingyue turned around and pulled the person up from the ground: "Okay, continue to wipe your hair." I'm sleepy. ”

Xin Yi moved more cautiously.

The conversation between the master and servant was clearly heard by Long Yuanxiu, who was standing outside the window.

When he heard Zhuang Mingyue's name, he raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He knew that Zhuang Mingyue was talented, but such poems came easily, which inevitably made Long Yuanxiu think a little more highly of her, and his understanding of Zhuang Mingyue's talent was deeper.

Long Yuanxiu originally wanted to come over to see if Zhuang Mingyue was resting, but when he walked out of the window and heard the conversation between the two, he suddenly couldn't move.

Until I heard a slight yawning sound from the room, and then heard Zhuang Mingyue with some soft voices in sleepiness: "I'll rest first, you go out."

Her hair was already dry, Zhuang Mingyue's eyes were about to be opened, she didn't want to sit on the chair for a second, she stood up from her position in a daze, and fell on the bed with her head in her groping.

Xin Yi put away his things, cleaned up the room inside and out, and quietly withdrew.

Hug

The wet handkerchief came out of the room, closed the door lightly, and when he turned around, he saw a tall figure standing outside the window, Xin Yi almost screamed, but fortunately, he quickly covered his mouth.

When he saw it clearly, the person standing outside the window, Xin Yi unconsciously put down his hand.

Even though Xin Yi was just a little maid who had just been bought, he had still seen Long Yuanxiu a few times from afar, and he had never expected to meet his master so closely.

Long Yuanxiu's tall figure and sharp momentum made Xin Yi couldn't help but breathe, and his heartbeat suddenly increased a lot.

"I've seen the master......

Softly bent over, Xin Yi was still holding something in his hand, and his voice was much softer than before.

Thinking that Zhuang Mingyue had served Zhuang Mingyue well, Long Yuan Xiu gave him a face, and responded lightly.

Just responded to this sentence, which made the little girl's heart ripple.

"Master......"

When she raised her head and looked at Long Yuanxiu, Xin Yi's eyes were full of tenderness, she knew very well that her appearance was not outstanding, but she understood what kind of posture she could use to arouse the pity in a man's heart. He was almost sold to the Goolan tile shop before, and it was precisely because of this that Xin Yi was honored to be bought back by the people under Long Yuanxiu.

Long Yuanxiu frowned and looked at the person who had not left in front of him: "Get out!"

He had seen too many such gazes, and just by saying two words, Long Yuanxiu had already understood what she was thinking in her heart.

Looking at her serving Zhuang Mingyue before, I thought she was honest, but now I'm afraid it's a pity that Zhuang Mingyue took great pains to choose this good name for her.

"Xin Yi knows ...... wrong"

Before he finished speaking, and before he could even say anything else, Xin Yi's eyes were full of tears, and his face was pale with a small face.

Long Yuanxiu no longer had any desire to see her, and commanded a wave of his hand, and the person who was hiding in the shadows like a ghost suddenly appeared beside him, causing Xin Yi to exclaim.

"You don't deserve this name, so let's continue to be like this without a name in the future."

Long Yuanxiu dropped this sentence, didn't even give a look, turned his head to look at the room where the lights had been turned off, and turned to leave.

Xin Yi, who was deprived of her name, suddenly lost strength in one leg, fell to her knees, and was covered by the black-clothed man beside her, preventing her from making any sound, and quickly disappeared in place.

Zhuang Mingyue naturally didn't know everything that happened, and slept until dawn all night.

The next day I woke up refreshed.

It's just that Zhuang Mingyue was surprised that the people who entered the door to serve the next day had changed two.

"What about the little maid who served me last night?" Zhuang Mingyue looked back, and when she realized that she didn't see Xin Yi, she simply turned her head and asked the person closest to her who was wring out the handkerchief.

The man spread out the handkerchief in front of Zhuang Mingyue, bowed his head respectfully before replying, "The slave doesn't know what Miss Hui said, but I was instructed to come over this morning to serve Miss's daily life."

Zhuang Mingyue nodded, and did not continue to ask.

It wasn't until he was taken to the main hall to sit with Long Yuanxiu for breakfast that Zhuang Mingyue suddenly looked at him and asked, "

That little maid served very well last night, why did she suddenly change people? ”

Long Yuanxiu frowned, put down the things in his hand and said, "These two people are more nimble, what's the matter?" But some dissatisfaction with them? I let people change it. ”

Zhuang Mingyue hurriedly waved her hand: "No need, they did a good job, but they suddenly changed people, so I asked more."

Long Yuanxiu replied lightly, and didn't plan to explain too much, Zhuang Mingyue looked left and right, but didn't find Xin Yi, and finally had to give up.

Long Yuanxiu is the prince, and there are as many people as he servs, maybe Xin Yi was sent to do things somewhere, thinking so, Zhuang Mingyue didn't continue to take this matter to heart.

"Why do you eat so little? Is it a bad appetite? Or is it so unpalatable that I asked someone to withdraw it and make it for you again? ”

Seeing that Zhuang Mingyue swallowed a small bowl of white porridge and put down the bowl and chopsticks when his appetite was less than a quarter of the previous one, Long Yuanxiu frowned dissatisfiedly.

"It's not that it doesn't taste good, it's just that I wake up in the morning and don't have much appetite." Zhuang Mingyue wiped the corners of her mouth before replying.

Long Yuanxiu suddenly remembered the hot water that Zhuang Mingyue said yesterday, so he said, "You don't have a good appetite, so you want to drink more hot water?"

Hearing these words suddenly, Zhuang Mingyue, who was picking up the teacup and planning to drink water, was so shocked that she almost squirted.

"Drink more hot water?"

Long Yuanxiu nodded solemnly: "Didn't you tell me yesterday?" The benefits of drinking more hot water, since this is the case, if you have no appetite, it is better to drink more. ”

Zhuang Mingyue swallowed the tea in her mouth, successfully choked herself, and finally smoothed her breath, to Long Yuanxiu's surprise, Zhuang Mingyue suddenly laughed out loud.

Long Yuanxiu was taken aback by such wanton laughter, but then as if he was infected, the corners of his eyes were also stained with a smile.

"Okay, I know, I must drink more hot water in the future!" After saying this sentence with a smile, Zhuang Mingyue stood up.

"Wake up early in the morning, why don't you go out for a walk?"

Seeing that Long Yuanxiu also put down the dishes and chopsticks, Zhuang Mingyue sent out an invitation.

For this invitation, Long Yuanxiu naturally readily agreed.

The two of them didn't go far, just walked around the small garden outside to bask in the early morning sun, casually circled a few times, and chatted a few words on the way.

"Hmm!"

Just as Zhuang Mingyue was about to go home, she heard a slight sound of struggle.

With a keen intuition, Zhuang Mingyue walked over looking for a voice, and what she saw happened to be Xin Yi who was covering her mouth. A pair of hands and feet hung weakly on the ground and dragged along.

"What is this?" Zhuang Mingyue's eyes widened in surprise, and she just wanted to step forward.

And Xin Yi also saw Zhuang Mingyue, although she had no strength in her hands and feet, this did not prevent her from trying hard to call for help.

And before Zhuang Mingyue could take a step forward, he was stopped by Long Yuanxiu behind him.

"What's wrong with her? Wasn't it all okay last night? Zhuang Mingyue turned her head to look at the person beside her.

Long Yuanxiu frowned: "It's just that the hands and feet are not clean, it's just a slight punishment for her to make her remember some lessons."

Even when it came to this, Zhuang Mingyue could see that Xin Yi was clearly interrupted.
