"Don't remember a word of those words just now!"
Just after he breathed a sigh of relief, a stern voice sounded from behind.
Taoye, who was still frightened, didn't react for a moment, and was pinched hard on the waist.
"pain!"
Just as Taoye was about to jump away, he was grabbed back by the strong hand.
"Did you hear that? Every word I heard today will be rotten in my heart!"
Rong Jiu's face was extremely dark and his eyes were cold, making him even more frightening than when he lost his temper yesterday.
"Yes, this slave heard it!"
The blow on her waist just now made Taoye cry in pain, and she responded hurriedly.
Even if the Fifth Young Master hadn't said it, she wouldn't have mentioned it to anyone else. What the servants said just now not only involved the secrets of the East Palace and the back house, but also involved the two women with the highest status around the prince. She, a little maid, got involved. , this life can only be wasted.
"Go to the pavilion over there!"
Seeing that the person agreed, Rong Jiu put his hand on Tao Ye's shoulder again.
When he sat down in the pavilion, nothing strange could be seen on Rong Jiu's face. It seemed that nothing had happened just now. Tao Ye had no intention of exploring these secrets and put the matter behind her.
"Come here, let me lean against you!"
Rong Jiu directed Tao Ye to sit next to her and leaned over. The little maid's body was very soft, which was much more comfortable than being next to a hard railing.
With a heavy person leaning on her body, Taoye had no choice but to straighten her body. In this way, it seemed like she was holding Rong Jiu.
"Didn't you say that Brother Ajiu is in the garden? Why don't you see anyone even after searching for him? Why don't you look for him quickly!"
Not long after it was quiet, there was a shout from behind.
Taoye turned around and saw several maids walking towards a woman in gorgeous clothes on the corridor behind.
The female family members who could appear in the front yard of the East Palace were treated with such care by the maids of the East Palace. Looking at the clothes and accessories on their bodies, Taoye guessed the identity of the visitor.
"Princess, there is someone in the pavilion over there!"
At this time, the maid next to the girl in gorgeous clothes also noticed someone in the pavilion and pointed here in surprise.
"Brother Ajiu!"
In the blink of an eye, the girl was already running towards him in a hurry.
"It's the bright moon!"
Rong Jiu was a little irritated by the swelling pain on her back. She had just leaned on the little maid's soft body for a while and felt relieved when she was disturbed.
He frowned at first, but when he saw the person coming, his face showed a doting look.
Sure enough, the person who came was the youngest daughter of the emperor and the empress. Because she was born in the year when the current emperor was appointed heir apparent by the late emperor, she was deeply favored by the emperor and the empress.
When the emperor ascended the throne, Princess Mingyue was only three years old, so she was made the princess of Qin, ranking above all other concubines.
"Why are you here? Is your aunt willing to let you out of the palace?"
"I forced the prince brother to bring me out! The prince brother said you were injured, whether it's serious or not. I brought a lot of supplements from the palace. They are all good things that my father, the queen, and my mother gave me in the past!"
Mingyue didn't show up either. She sat down on the other side of Rong Jiu, held Rong Jiu's hand affectionately and began to greet her.
"I moved my hands and feet without any rules again!"
Rong Jiu stretched out his hand and tapped Mingyue on the forehead, but Mingyue leaned closer to Rong Jiu.
This made Taoye's position a bit awkward. The fifth young master was leaning on her with the upper half of his body. She couldn't just get up so directly, but she couldn't just be on an equal footing with the princess.
She had never met Princess Mingyue before, but she had also heard of her great reputation. She was favored by the emperor and empress, and the little princess had an extremely arrogant temper. No one in Shengjing's nobles dared to offend her.
It would be better for her to stay away from such a noble lord.
But the fifth young master didn't know why. She had already moved slightly to signal, but the man still didn't react at all.
When Tao Ye was in a hurry, she happened to meet Princess Mingyue's phoenix eyes.
"Brother Ajiu, who is this?"
Mingyue had never seen a woman next to her cousin, and she usually took two companions with her when she went out.
"It's just a maid given by mother!"
Rong Jiu stood up slightly, took out his hand inadvertently, sat upright, and said casually.
She said this calmly, but there was some dissatisfaction in Mingyue's eyes. Brother Ajiu had never been so close to a woman before. Even if she wanted to get closer, Brother Ajiu would stop him, saying that she was getting older. He is someone who is about to choose a son-in-law, so he should be avoided.
Moreover, she grew up in the harem, and sometimes she could see her father getting close to other concubines. The look of the two of them just now clearly showed that they were not ordinary maids.
"A maid? Why don't you bow to me when you see me?"
Mingyue has liked her brother Ajiu since she was a child. She has never seen such a handsome man, not even his father and brother can compare with him. Moreover, brother Ajiu has been treating her well since she was a child, unlike her father, emperor, mother, empress and the emperor. Brother, apart from giving her a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, he didn't even have time to talk to her for a while.
When she grew up, she gradually learned about human affairs, and she even wanted to be with her brother Ajiu for a long time, so that brother Ajiu would always pamper her, and he could only pamper her.
"Slave, please pay homage to the princess! Please forgive me!"
Taoye quickly noticed the dissatisfaction in Princess Mingyue's words. In addition to dissatisfaction, there was also sourness.
Therefore, this etiquette is extremely regular, and no one can make any mistakes.
But Taoye knows that sometimes the word "rules" is just a word from the mouths of those noble people.
"Brother Ajiu, this maid's rules are so sparse! Did she just buy her from outside and my aunt hasn't had time to teach her the rules?"
Mingyue glanced at Taoye who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly to Rong Jiu.
"This is mother's first-class maid. She has been in the house for three years. Who has offended you again today? Take your anger out here!"
Hearing the gentle and doting voice above his head, there was no hint of dissatisfaction in it.
Taoye's heart sank.
The fifth young master and his wife are both protective people and will protect each other's own people. Now compared with this princess cousin, she is really just dust on the ground.
If Princess Mingyue wants to punish herself, as long as she doesn't go too far, the Fifth Young Master probably won't stop her.
"No! I'm just afraid that this maid will be unruly and make Brother Ajiu angry. Brother Ajiu is still injured. The people serving around her must look at her and feel comfortable!"
Princess Mingyue pouted.
"Since I am my aunt's substitute servant girl, I will serve you very well. Please get up and peel two persimmons out of the box!"
Mingyue ordered condescendingly.
"Yes, slave, I obey!"
Tao Ye lowered his eyes and looked extremely respectful.
Her status meant that she could not be favored by Princess Mingyue, and her only "reliance" was now that she would not stand up for her grievances.
You can only do your part well so that no one can fault you.
But when she saw the red and crystal-clear persimmons from the box that the maid opened, Tao Ye paused her outstretched hand.
