His heart trembled unconsciously, and his eyes unconsciously revealed a sense of rejection.
"What? You haven't even done these light tasks with your aunt? You still think that this princess is not your master and is not worthy of your service!"
"Is it necessary to let Brother Ajiu speak!"
Taoye paused for a moment, then threw an aggressive word.
"The princess misunderstood, I just want to choose a good one!"
After blinking, her heart skipped a beat, Taoye still reached out and picked up a persimmon.
Whether she peels it off today or not, I'm afraid she won't feel better, so it's better not to let this master find a ready excuse to deal with her.
Now that he had made up his mind, Taoye did not hesitate, carefully pulled out the stalk, and took the skin that was brought up and tore it apart little by little, leaving a little on the top. But after a while, a persimmon was peeled and placed. On a white porcelain plate, served with a low body.
Although she tried her best to be careful, she still got some juice on her hands.
The back of my hand already feels a little itchy, but it's still bearable.
"This is how you serve the master, and you serve them all to the princess how you want to eat them!"
A maid in palace attire shouted next to her.
"This slave didn't think well!"
Taoye was about to plead guilty and take back her hand, but she collided with the hand of the maid next to her that suddenly stretched out. The plate tipped, and the peeled persimmons fell onto Taoye.
The persimmon was already ripe and full of juice. With this movement, the juice splashed onto the peach leaves.
There were dots of red juice on her chest and lotus-colored shirt, and some of it was also stained on her face.
Taoye couldn't bear to wipe the juice from her body, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "You deserve to die, slave, for disturbing the princess!"
The smell of persimmons that permeated her body made her feel sick from the bottom of her heart, but she couldn't even frown.
"Are you scared, princess?"
The palace maid who hit Taoye just now yelled.
"Why don't you kneel further away? Don't get the princess's shoes dirty with this dirty body!"
After receiving the signal from her master's eyes, the palace maid sternly reprimanded him again.
Taoye started to feel itchy all over now, and her breathing started to become heavier.
This reaction is slower.
"I told you to kneel further away, why are you still here?"
The palace maid said that she was about to kick her with her foot, but before the toe of her shoe touched Tao Ye's clothes, someone pulled her away.
His feet were unstable and he fell directly onto the fence beside the pavilion, followed by a scream.
Mingyue was also startled and quickly stepped aside for fear of harming herself.
When Taoye started to twitch, she fell into a familiar embrace.
"Brother Ajiu?"
Mingyue's eyes widened. A humble maid was actually held in the arms of Brother Ajiu.
"Fifth Young Master..."
Losing her senses all of a sudden, for Taoye, it was like falling into an abyss. She instinctively looked for the only support she could hold on to.
"Mingyue, get out of the way!"
Rong Jiu had noticed Mingyue's deliberate embarrassment just now, but he had always regarded Mingyue as his little sister, and he was very doting on her in ordinary days.
And it's not too much to just instruct Tao Ye to do some work, make people salute, and say a few arrogant words, so he naturally won't stop him.
He also saw the palace maid's private actions. He hated these tricks in the back house the most in his life. He was about to scold her when he saw something was wrong with the little maid on the ground.
The little maid has a quick mind and is very aware of current affairs. She will not confront Ming Yue's people face to face.
When he saw the little maid on the ground starting to twitch, he was shocked and hurriedly picked her up, only to see red bumps on her neck, face and chest.
I heard that some people are born unable to touch certain things. If they touch them, they will get red rash all over their body. In severe cases, they may even convulse and die.
"Brother Ajiu, you care so much about this maid, but you just accidentally splashed some persimmon juice on it. How can it be so serious!"
"She must have deliberately made Brother Ajiu feel distressed!"
Mingyue was very puzzled that a persimmon could turn a peach leaf into such a state. In her opinion, this was not because the concubines in her father's palace were deliberately pretending to be weak in front of her father.
As expected, this maid is restless.
"Some people can't touch certain things! If you haven't seen it before, it's normal. Get out of the way!"
Rong Jiu couldn't bear to say harsh words to the cousin she had loved since childhood, so she explained patiently, but there was already some anxiety and impatience in her tone that she was not even aware of.
The man in his arms twitched even more violently. After Rong Jiu said this, he crossed the bright moon and walked outside the pavilion.
Thinking that this symptom could lead to death, Rong Jiu walked quickly.
"Master, this is..."
Xingyun and Guiyun, who were guarding the yard, were startled by the appearance of their young master.
"Go and ask the doctor in charge of the East Palace to come over!"
There is a special medicine store in the East Palace, and there are doctors inside who can check and feel the pulse. However, it is only for emergencies and regular treatment for the masters of the East Palace. If the prince and concubine are of higher rank or the favored female family members are sick, they will still go there. The palace invited the imperial doctor from Shang Yao Bureau to come over.
"yes!"
Guiyun responded and ran out.
"Xingyun, go to Pei Mansion, tell Young Master Pei about Taoye's symptoms, and ask him to prepare some medicine!"
"The villain will go right away!"
Seeing Tao Ye's appearance, Xing Yun was a little frightened, and hurriedly agreed and left.
"Cold...hot..."
Taoye felt that some parts of her body were extremely hot, and some parts were extremely cold. Her head, body, and heart felt very uncomfortable.
"Don't be afraid, you'll be fine soon!"
Rong Jiu saw the little maid on the couch with large red rashes on her chest, neck, and exposed arms. Her body was curled up and twitching, and her temples were soaked with cold sweat, and she felt some pity in her heart.
"Don't catch me!"
Seeing the little maid on the couch reaching out and grabbing a handful of her neck, leaving a bloodstain on the large red rash, Rong Jiu quickly stopped her.
Seeing that the little maid's other hand was about to move, she simply stood up and leaned down, pressing both of Tao Ye's hands beside her.
"It's uncomfortable, wuwu... my mother... my father... it's uncomfortable... there are bad people..."
His body was extremely itchy, and Taoye just wanted to follow his instinct and grab a few handfuls, but his hands were pressed tightly to the bed by Rong Jiu, and he couldn't break free, so he couldn't help but cry in frustration.
Heartless little girl!
Rong Jiu, who was leaning on it, cursed secretly, fearing that the little maid might not scratch her seriously and become a bad person.
But he couldn't scold the little maid for her behavior.
"Master, Dr. Song is here!"
Guiyun was smart. When he went to call for someone, he didn't say who he was going to heal. He only said that his young master had ordered someone to come, so the one who came was the most senior doctor.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you come forward for diagnosis and treatment!"
When Doctor Song entered the room and saw Rong Jiu like this, he thought it was...
He took a step back in shock.
"Yes, the fifth young master is ill?"
After being scolded, Doctor Song hurriedly came forward and said.
"She is the one I asked you to diagnose!"
Rong Jiu said coldly.
"She shouldn't be able to touch the juice from this persimmon!"
Rong Jiu moved her body away and explained specifically.
"The maid's symptoms are fine, just wait until she gets over this period!"
