"The Grandpa Sanbao said that Your Highness had never eaten anything before returning to the palace. Why don't I go and prepare some food?"
Zhao Xi slowly opened her eyes and looked at her for a moment, "Do you still have the energy?"
Wan Qiu's little face suddenly became popular, "As long as your highness is hungry, I will go."
Seeing that she was about to dress and stay, Zhao Xi pulled the person back, "What's the relationship between those two palace maids just now? "
"Ah?" Wan Qiu didn't expect him to ask this and was stunned for a moment.
"Um?"
"It's pretty good." Wan Qiu said.
She has been to the East Palace, except Guyu, and has never been popular with anyone. Any servant who can come to the backyard has a good relationship with her.
"Then let them serve you from tomorrow," said Zhao Xi.
This is to make her be treated as half of her master. Wan Qiu shook her head quickly, "Your Highness, I don't need anyone to serve you."
Zhao Xi smiled faintly, "No one will serve you well, how do you serve the orphan?"
When Wan Qiu heard this, her cheeks were slightly hot, and then she burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
Wan Qiu said, "When Your Highness came back, his face was dark and scared me. Now I see you relaxing my eyebrows. It can be seen that my mood has improved and I am happy."
Zhao Xi lowered his eyelashes and refused to comment.
Wan Qiu was afraid that he would make him unhappy with his words, so he continued to wear clothes.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Xi asked her.
"I will go to the bedside and watch over your highness."
He has a bad sleeping condition and is most afraid of being seen by others, so he definitely doesn't like to share the same bed with others.
Besides, she was only responsible for serving and training him, and she was not qualified to stay in the bedroom in the middle of the night.
Zhao Xi seemed to see through her concerns, "Stay here."
Wan Qiu looked surprised.
"After all, it's the first time, and I can't help feeling uncomfortable, so don't move anymore."
Wan Qiu felt ashamed of shame. She was clearly training him, but now from him, she actually felt that the person being trained was actually her.
Before coming, Wan Qiu heard from the nanny who trained them that every prince would have a particularly deep impression of the first female enlightenment official.
There are only three ends for female enlightenment officials.
Or, the prince didn't want to leave behind such a person who had witnessed his first time to survive in the world, and would just find an excuse to kill him.
Or, she should be directly released to the Neijing Office for another position.
If they are lucky enough to be noticed by the prince and earn a title in the future, that is their fortune.
Although this was the first time that Wan Qiu was an enlightenment female official, she could feel that His Highness was actually very lonely inside, especially tonight. He wanted to stay himself, which was to make up for some gaps in his heart.
It can be seen that once Your Highness is in love, he will be a very gentle person.
Thinking of this, Wan Qiu was busy stopping her mood. She was afraid that she would fall into it if she thought about it any more, and she would not be able to tell her identity clearly, and she wanted more and more.
So even if Zhao Xi spoke to keep her, she insisted on putting on her clothes and staying at the bed, blushing and said, "If your highness wants to summon him another day, just call me a servant, but staying in the inner hall does not comply with the rules. Your highness is a person who values rules very much. I cannot do this, otherwise if others know about it, I will become a servant."
When Zhao Xi heard this, he just nodded lightly and said nothing to keep him.
Wan Qiu took out the bedding from the closet and hugged it to the top.
Zhao Xi lay on the wide Kuilong pattern couch and fell asleep in a deep sleep shortly after.
Sanbao's father-in-law kept waiting outside. It was probably useless to make trouble again, so he yawned and went back to his room to rest.
——
The New Year is Zhao Xi's holiday. As long as the emperor in the Ganqing Palace is not summoned, the Queen of Kunning Palace will be fine, and he will be able to sleep for a while.
In the past, he could go to bed from morning to night during holidays. After being named the crown prince, it was probably because of busy government affairs. Even if he was sleepy, he would only sleep one more hour more than usual.
Wan Qiu knew Zhao Xi's habits very well, so he would get up before he got up every day.
Today is naturally no exception.
But when she had just put on her clothes, there was a sudden noise outside, as if Aunt Guyu had a quarrel with Sanbao's father-in-law.
Hearing Guyu's voice, Wan Qiu froze.
She originally thought that it was still early, and after serving His Highness to wash, she quietly returned to Dongqianyuan. As long as the three sisters didn't say anything, Guyu shouldn't find anything. Who would have thought Guyu would come so early?
Wan Qiudai sat on the soft couch between the tips, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
In the inner hall, Zhao Xi called out a few times but no one responded. When he walked out, he saw that Wan Qiu's face turned pale and his expression was dull, and he asked, "What's wrong?"
Wan Qiu suddenly came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "No, it's me who has a nightmare."
"Does it matter?"
"It's okay." Wanqiu folded the quilt neatly and put it back into the closet. "Your Highness will wait a moment, and I will come to wash you up immediately."
Speaking of washing, warm water must be brought in from outside. When you open the door, you will definitely hit Guyu.
Wan Qiu was very confused.
After this entanglement, she sat on the soft couch for a while.
Zhao Xi noticed something strange and asked, "Do you still feel a little uncomfortable?"
At the beginning of last night, she cried directly, and he saw it.
"No, I'll come now."
Wan Qiu quickly calmed down his emotions and went in to help Zhao Xi change his clean four-clawed golden robe. He also dressed up himself before going out to open the door.
Then she found that not only Gu Yu and Sanbao's father-in-law stood outside, but also Zhixia, who had exquisite makeup on her face.
When Gu Yu saw her coming out of it, he was shocked and angry suddenly burst out in his eyes.
Zhixia also looked unbelievable.
Isn’t Sister Wan Qiu sick? Didn’t she say that she didn’t go out to do business last night, but came to serve Your Highness secretly?
Thinking of this, Zhixia's little face was a little complicated.
Everyone was sent to the bedtime maids. In the past, as long as Wan Qiu was alone in serving him, they never had any jealousy, because they felt it was unnecessary and they were all sisters.
Since they are sisters, why should they hide it? Are they afraid that they will be jealous and jealous to compete for favor?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt angry. Zhixia lowered her head and didn't say a word to Wan Qiu.
Gu Yu laughed furiously, "I heard that Miss Wan Qiu is sick. It turns out that she stayed in Your Highness's room last night. Do you ask him to treat you?"
This is just a matter of telling that she has a disease that she cannot survive without a man, and it is not unspeakable.
Even though Wan Qiu was ready, she didn't expect Gu Yu's mouth to be so mean, and her face turned slightly pale.
I said that I would pretend to be sick and not see Your Highness, but in the same situation yesterday, Your Highness never returned after leaving at noon. How can she not worry?
I came to Chengming Palace just to watch him come back with my own eyes so that I could go back to my room to sleep peacefully.
However, the later development was too unexpected to her.
She didn't know what happened to His Highness outside, so she took her to the inner hall when she came back, and then...
Looking back on all the things last night, Wan Qiu knew that it was not his intentional seduction.
But to outsiders, once she explains, she becomes the kind of person who is both decent and stable.
Sigh silently, saluted Qiufu, "Aunt."
Perhaps because he was afraid that Zhao Xi inside would hear something, Gu Yu didn't dare to make trouble, so he just used his shoulder to knock Wan Qiu aside, and then ordered Zhixia, who was holding the toiletries, "Why don't you go in and wait for some clothes to change?"
"Yes." Zhixia bent her knees, stood up and looked at Wan Qiu with a complicated expression, then stepped into the palace gate.
Wan Qiu looked at Zhixia's back and wanted to say something, but when he heard Guyu's warning sound, "Aren't you sick? Why don't you hurry back and take medicine to see the doctor? Why are you still standing here?"
Wan Qiu pursed her lips and looked at Sanbao's father-in-law, "Your Highness is going to bother you."
The father-in-law Sanbao shook the whisk, "Miss, just go back and rest. I'm here."
Your Highness has favored Wan Qiu, and now he is not afraid of the old woman Gu Yu, who is a woman, making trouble again.
As for Zhixia who went in, please be blessed.
Sure enough, Zhixia came out of it with red eyes in just a while.
Seeing this, Guyu looked very bad, "What happened?"
"Nothing" Zhixia sniffed and said in a frustrating voice, "Your Highness said I don't need to serve you, so I can only come out."
Guyu angrily scolded, "Useless waste!"
Before, in the inner hall, although Your Highness only said, "You go out, come alone by yourself", that kind of different treatment made Zhixia feel aggrieved all of a sudden. When Gu Yu scolded her like this, she felt more and more uncomfortable. She opened her mouth and replied, "While I know I'm useless, why didn't my aunt find someone who could be liked by Your Highness, but let me make a fool of myself in public. If I had that ability, could I still stay in the East Cross Courtyard every day to embroider and have fun wasted my time?"
These words made Gu Yu laugh, "It's rare that you are still a self-aware."
