The next morning, Chunhua wanted to ask the princess what she wanted for breakfast, but she didn't expect to see the princess sitting on the bed alone. Her eyes were green and she looked like she hadn't slept all night. "Has the princess not slept all night?" "Chunhua quickly twisted her handkerchief and wiped A's face.
"Hmm..." Ah Yu stared blankly at the spot where the flower picker was standing last night, wondering what she would do if something happened last night. Her fists and kicks were completely useless.
The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became. He snatched the handkerchief from Chunhua's hand and threw it to the ground. He said in a confused way: "Sure enough, if you can't practice in the Dragon Kingdom, you are a waste."
No matter how noble her status is and how outstanding her martial arts and literary talents are, she will still be ridiculed by other officials' children because she cannot practice magic.
Even in a situation like last night, he couldn't protect himself.
Chunhua was worried in her heart, "What's wrong with the princess... The princess never cared about these things before..." That's what she said, but who really doesn't care that she is in a world where there are many practitioners, but she can't Regarding the matter of cultivation, those words in the past were all just what Aji said to deceive him.
Seeing that the princess was in a bad mood, Chunhua silently exited the bedroom and ordered her servants to make some of the princess's favorite food, "Go, ask the people in the kitchen to make more snacks for the princess to eat on the road, jujube cakes and pine nut lilies." Princess Su’s favorite food is her favorite, so I’ll make two plates and serve them first.”
"Princess, this is chrysanthemum tea. Drink it to relieve the fire. It is most suitable to drink when you are hot and upset in summer." When she entered the door again, Chunhua had already brewed a cup of fresh chrysanthemum tea and handed it to Aji. The temperature is just right when served.
"I must have scared you by losing my temper just now." Taking the tea from Chunhua's hand, Ah Wei looked a little guilty on her face. She didn't want to do that, but suddenly she couldn't control it. Sure enough... she was mentioning that incident. When...
In the Dragon Kingdom, most ordinary people have mixed spiritual roots. There are very few people like her who have no spiritual roots at all. They are as rare as those with heavenly spiritual roots, or even rarer.
Chunhua didn't mind her attitude at all, "I can understand why the princess is upset. The princess doesn't need to feel guilty."
After serving the princess for so many years, how could she not know the princess's true thoughts? In fact, the princess desires to practice more than anyone else. Ever since the princess was ten years old when the most prestigious cultivator of the royal family discovered that even half of her spiritual roots were not completely unsuitable for cultivation, she gradually became unwilling to talk to others. Even Master Ling, who she was closest to in the past, did not like to talk to her anymore.
Such days lasted for three years. During these three years, the princess practiced hard every day, intending to do her best in everything, but she still couldn't stop everyone from talking. Everyone in the Long Kingdom knew that King Dingnan was deeply worried about it. My daughter is a person who cannot practice cultivation.
But I don’t know since when, the princess seems to have become less concerned about this matter. No matter what people outside say, she doesn’t care, and her temperament has changed back to what it was before. Now it seems that the princess still can’t completely let go. ah.
"In their eyes, am I really the master? Or am I just trying to earn a living and have to serve me, a person who is not even comparable to them." Seeing the princess looking at Qiuyue outside, Chunhua understood in her heart What she meant.
He lowered his head and said nothing. Indeed, among these maids and servants, there were a few who truly admired the princess, and they could often be heard talking about the princess in private.
Chunhua simply closed the door and stopped letting the princess see those troublesome people. She walked to the side and whispered comfort: "If the princess doesn't like it, just send them away. Anyway, Chunhua can now take care of the princess by herself." Now that everyone is gone, the princess is still a little bit cleaner.
Before Aju could speak, she heard the door creaking open, and Qiuyue's head poked in, "Princess, what are you talking about? You're still whispering behind closed doors."
"Qiuyue, you are too presumptuous. How could you come in the princess's bedroom without first reporting to the outside." The princess and she also grew up together. They have served the princess since childhood and have a very good relationship with the princess. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Qiuyue developed her current disrespectful character.
Qiuyue, who walked straight to A'yi and sat down, had no respect in her eyes, "Chunhua, you are too stingy. The princess and us are sisters, how can we care about such trivial matters." After saying this, she looked at A'yi proudly and tried to get her. Agreed, "Right, Princess~"
Chunhua didn't tolerate her, and stood between her and the princess and said angrily: "The princess is kind, so she never treated us harshly, but we also have to have the propriety of being slaves. You entered the county without even asking." If the master's room is placed in the palace and the three young masters see it, you will suffer a lot."
There are two older brothers above A-玙, and a younger brother below. He was born on the same day as her but half a stick of incense later. These three people regard her as their fate. If they really see Qiu Yue's rude behavior towards A'yi, they will really drive her out of the palace.
Qiuyue exited the room with a "cut" sound, stood outside the door and asked reluctantly: "It's getting late, Princess, can we set off?"
This time Aji no longer spoke for Qiuyue as usual, but sighed and asked Chunhua to help her up from the stool, "You ride in the carriage with me, Qiuyue will go with Lianxiang and the others."
This was going to cost Qiu Yue her life. Without saying a word, she rushed into the room and knelt at A's feet and started crying, "Why, princess! What did Qiu Yue do wrong? Can't you change it? Don't let me and Lian Xiang and the others." together……"
In the Dragon Kingdom, there is also a strict hierarchy in the human world.
Take these maids around Aji, for example, Chunhua Qiuyue, who can only be named by the master, is a first-class servant, and cannot be called a maid. They have the power to make decisions on all matters in the house, and are responsible for taking personal care of the master's daily life and food. The person the master trusts most.
In the princess's mansion, those whose characters begin with the character "Lotus" are the second-class assistant maids; those whose characters begin with the character "Lotus" are the third-class servant maids; and those whose characters begin with the character "花" are the handymen maids, who are responsible for some trivial and dirty work.
Rich families have different maidservants, but the strict hierarchy is the same.
And by doing this, A'yue undoubtedly reduced Qiuyue to the position of a third-class maid, but she was not soft-hearted, but she persuaded her nicely: "Why are you crying like this, and you don't want to eat her alive?" Please hurry up and get ready, I still have something to say to Chunhua."
Seeing that there was no way around, Qiuyue stopped kneeling. After getting up, she turned around and walked out the door, completely forgetting all the etiquette she should have. However, at this time, Aji was too lazy to pursue her, but she accidentally caught a glimpse of her. Seeing the resentful look in Qiuyue's eyes before leaving, she couldn't help but feel chilled. She had been treating her badly for so many years, but she still didn't take her seriously.
As soon as they got on the carriage, Lianxiang and the others gathered around and asked, "Sister Qiuyue, why are you sitting here? Don't you usually ride in the same carriage as the princess?"
Qiuyue was angry and looked unhappy. She rolled her eyes and said, "The princess only loves spring flowers now, so where is the place for us?"
Hearing these sour words, she didn't know how much she had been wronged by the princess and Chunhua.
The other third-class maids did not dare to offend Qiu Yue, and most of them agreed with her words, but some were afraid of offending Chun Hua, so they did their own thing in the corner and remained silent.
The atmosphere in the carriage dedicated to the princess was much more harmonious. "No matter how angry you are, you are only doing it for yourself. Others can't see it. Princess, please don't get so angry that your body is broken. It's not worth it." Chunhua handed over the hand-made cake she had just made before departure. Good snacks, "Eat some sweets to make you feel good. These are the princess' favorite foods."
"You two grew up together with me, Chunhua, tell me, how am I doing as a young lady?" A'yi asked seriously with blazing eyes.
Chunhua also became serious and answered her word for word seriously: "Your Majesty is kind and kind to me and my servants. It's Qiuyue who lost her sense of proportion. Princess, please don't think wildly."
Afraid that the princess wouldn't believe it, Chunhua specifically added: "Chunhua will be grateful to the princess all her life. If you hadn't begged the princess to take her in, Chunhua would have froze to death on the roadside and been eaten by wild dogs. Now the stable life of abundant food and clothing belongs to the princess. Gift, Chunhua’s life is yours.”
"Pfft--" Ah Wei covered her mouth and laughed contentedly, "Why are you so serious? With me here, you will never suffer again in this life." She could see the sincerity, and she could also tell the difference between falsehood and falsehood, but she It’s just that I don’t want to say it, after all, there are still feelings from childhood.
To her, Chunhua was not a casual service, but a sister who was worthy of spending her whole life to protect her.
A'yi took out the hairpin given to her by the empress in the year when she got the hairpin from her jewelry box. "Although it is just a gold hairpin, it was worn by the queen in the year when she got the hairpin. It is of great significance. Now that I am giving it to you, you should understand that you are to me How important it is.”
At first, Chunhua didn't dare to accept it, but when she heard the princess's last words, her eyes became wet, and she took the precious hairpin with red eyes, "Chunhua understands that it is Chunhua's luck to meet the princess in this life."
This is the difference between Chunhua and Qiuyue. She will be grateful, while Qiuyue is like feeding an unfamiliar wolf, who doesn't know when it will bite its owner back.
She carefully put away the hairpin, "It's better not to let Qiuyue see it. She always likes to think wildly." Aji also acquiesced to her approach.
I thought there would be no twists and turns along the way, but I didn't expect to encounter difficulties not long after leaving the Princess's Mansion.
A group of people blocked the street, and you could vaguely hear the roar of a man in the center of the crowd.
"Let's go and see what's going on. What are you saying when you are surrounded by people?" I wanted to close my eyes and rest, but after thinking about it, I decided not to, and got out of the car in person.
The servant pushed aside the crowd and saw a man covered in blood lying in the middle of the road. Next to the man, a woman was kneeling with her face covered and crying, calling for officials.
When he raised his eyes and saw Ah Yu, he immediately rushed over and begged the princess to make the decision.
