"The Xinya Theater has been sealed. Master Lu's matter is already under investigation. You should be freed from the crime first, and then the slave."
Ye Jinxiao trimmed her messy hair.
It was a cold winter, but she was wearing very thin clothes and her hands were covered with frostbite. It seemed that her life in Prince Jin's Mansion was very difficult.
Chunjing was confused: "My father's matter is under investigation...?"
He immediately reacted and knelt heavily on the ground with a 'pop' sound.
"Sister Ye, this kindness will be unforgettable. I will work as a horse for you in the future, even if I die!"
With just the power of a maid, she might not be able to solve the case in her lifetime.
Sister Ye was actually willing to help her!
Ye Jinxiao turned her hand gently and took out a bottle of chilblain ointment from her sleeve, "Protect yourself, this winter is cold and long."
Chunjing was so grateful that she could not speak coherently: "Thank you...Sister Ye, thank you very much..."
Only mutual benefit and reciprocity can maintain a long-term and stable relationship between people. She had been favored by Chun Jing, so she naturally did not offer a helping hand where she could help.
"The banquet is about to start, let's go to the banquet hall."
Ye Jinxiao held up her skirt slightly and walked down the steps.
Chunjing followed her with red eyes, wiping her tears and saying nothing, but it seemed like she had said everything.
Walking to the garden arch, a woman's sarcastic laughter came:
"Princess Yu is not afraid of lowering her status by hanging out with a maid?"
Ye Jinxiao raised his eyes and saw Liu Mingyue standing there with her arms folded across her chest, looking at her and Chun Jing with disdain.
Chunjing blushed, feeling happy and wanted to leave first, but Ye Jinxiao had already spoken:
"Miss Liu can shamelessly come to King De's birthday party, so why should she target others and keep her mouth shut?"
Liu Mingyue mocked coldly: "I came with Princess Yi as a companion. My close friend is a princess, and she is not like someone who has a good relationship with a maid."
It really corresponds to the saying, those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black.
Her friends are all wealthy ladies and come from famous families.
Ye Jinxiao's friend is a lowly slave and has no place on the stage.
"Isn't there a saying that... well, if you don't belong to the same family, you won't enter the same house? Hahaha."
Ye Jinxiao smiled warmly: "Yes, those who are close to Zhu are red. Chun Jing is a pure and clean girl. She is not comparable to some pickles."
Liu Mingyue's expression changed in shock.
She couldn't help but think of the day she was insulted by Boss Xie at the teahouse...
This incident was her nightmare and taboo.
She dealt with all the insiders, and did good deeds, helped people, and earned a reputation for herself in an attempt to erase the stains of the past, but Ye Jinxiao was also one of the insiders.
What if Ye Jinxiao spreads the news outside...
Ye Jinxiao walked to her side and said with a low smile: "If Miss Liu's mouth is not virtuous, then don't blame me for imitating Miss Liu and not showing mercy."
"you--"
Liu Mingyue's eyes widened.
She dares!
If she dares to talk nonsense outside and ruin her reputation, she will definitely not let her go!
"It's just something that I don't want to think about. I don't dare to do it. Miss Liu, just give it a try."
"you!"
"Chunjing, let's go."
Ye Jinxiao pushed her shoulders away, stepped over the stone ridge, and strode away.
Liu Mingyue was angry and scared.
She was afraid that Ye Jinxiao would spread the word outside and ruin her reputation; she was angry because Ye Jinxiao was so arrogant, but she couldn't resist him. She was so angry that her liver ached with anger.
hateful!
This little whore!
"Lvxiu, are you ready for what I told you before?"
From the side, the maid Lu Xiu came forward: "Don't worry, miss, there are many people in Prince De's house tonight, so I succeeded easily."
"good."
Liu Mingyue squinted her eyes.
Next, it's her turn to perform!
banquet hall.
The candles were brightly lit, the place was full of guests, and it was a lively scene.
The officials talked to each other, the ladies also had their own circles, the young princes and ladies gathered together, Princess De warmly entertained everyone, and the atmosphere was lively.
Ye Jinxiao brought Chunjing over, and the maid waiting at the door immediately led the way: "Princess Yu, your place is over here."
The maid leads people through the paths on both sides.
Nice location.
Only one meter away from the main seat in the middle, Chu Yuci was already sitting there.
"Xiao'er." He eagerly pulled out the chair.
Ye Jinxiao sat down and saw the crown prince and crown princess sitting opposite them, and the next seat next to them were the crown prince and crown princess.
Chunjing lowered her head and walked quietly behind the two of them.
Chu Huaijin turned around, "Where are you going? Why are you here so slowly?"
Chunjing replied in a low voice: "I didn't go anywhere."
Chu Huaijin frowned, and immediately heard that something was wrong with her voice.
"Have you cried?"
Chunjing lowered her head, "No."
His attitude was indifferent, neither sad nor happy, neither humble nor arrogant, and he didn't want to say more words to him.
Chu Huaijin's brows suddenly tightened, "Shiyi almost fainted from the pain and didn't even shed a single tear. You didn't serve me well. I haven't punished you yet, but I have wronged you first."
The Crown Princess turned her head and said, "Ajin, don't blame her anymore."
Hold the man's hand tenderly.
"It's my own greed, it's none of Chunjing's business."
Chunjing moved her head to one side, hiding the slap mark on her right cheek, and remained quiet without speaking.
Chu Huaijin caught a glimpse, his eyes were gloomy and cold.
You say a few words to her and you dare to show off to him!
Ye Jinxiao took in this scene, but from a distance, he couldn't hear clearly what they were saying. It was probably not pleasant to see them.
"Xiao'er," Chu Yuci whispered beside him, "I will give you a gift after you return home."
Being courteous for nothing?
"It's not a new year or a holiday, what gift can you give me?"
"Something you'll love."
Ye Jinxiao was not interested. Hearing a huffing sound, the protagonist of the dinner, Prince De, came.
"I have met His Highness King De——"
King De was wearing a blue robe, with a very plump and round figure, and his fat face showed his richness. He sat down on the main seat with Princess De.
"No need to be polite, everyone can come tonight, I... hiccup! I am very happy, hiccup!"
Princess De narrowed her eyes sharply, "We haven't even started yet, why are you hiccupping?"
Could it be that when she was gone just now, he went to the kitchen to eat secretly?
King De's face was straight and his tone was calm: "I just chatted with Lao Wu and my mouth was dry. I burped. I drank more water. I'm full."
Hiccup~
"?"
Can drinking water help relieve hiccups?
Think of her as a fool?
After the birthday party is over, take care of him.
Princess De gave him a very 'kind' smile and greeted the guests first: "Prince De's birthday is not a big event. Thank you for your support."
Everyone waved their hands in humility:
"Princess De is serious."
"His Royal Highness Prince Deok is kind and courteous. It is our honor to be invited by Prince Deok's Palace."
Among the five princes, King De is the kindest.
As the saying goes, many friends lead to many paths. Who doesn't like to be friends with the gentle and polite King De?
Prince De and his wife made some opening remarks, the servants served drinks and delicacies, and the dinner began.
