"Miss Taoye, just go. Maybe the princess wants to reward you with some things!"
The maid in front of her was smiling. She was obviously still jealous of what happened in the East Palace earlier, but she managed to hold back her anger and even persuaded her to go there with "nice words". It must have been her master who had something to say first.
Princess Mingyue is a proud daughter of heaven. At first glance, she seems to be someone who usually cannot bear the slightest grievance. However, when she saw her at the gate of the academy yesterday, she changed her previous dislike towards her and became extremely kind to her.
After this reconciliation, there must be other means.
"Then please ask this sister to lead the way!"
Princess Mingyue is no better than Miss Xie. Although she has only met her twice, Taoye has already discovered that the fifth young master is particularly indulgent and indulgent towards this noble cousin. The doting in his eyes is real.
What's more, Taoye glanced at the leading maid and there were two maids following behind her. Even if she didn't want to go, I'm afraid she would have to be invited.
"If you come back late, please let the guard brother and the fifth young master know!"
Before going out, Taoye specifically told the guards.
After tonight, there are only seven days, and I am not completely useless to the fifth young master.
Shouyang Academy is a royal academy, and most of the students who study there are either rich or noble. Others are also outstanding tributes in schools in various states and counties.
And unlike other academies, there is also a special school for girls in the academy. However, in this girls' school, only the daughters of the third-rank officials and above in the capital and the princes are eligible to attend.
In order to separate it from the men's side, the women's school occupies several courtyards in the northeast corner, and living and studying are not in one place.
Therefore, Taoye followed the maids and walked for a full two-quarters of an hour before being taken into a garden.
"Princess, this is the spice that just came from the Western Regions!"
"The fragrance is indeed extraordinary, but if you just put a little in, the fragrance is so strong!"
…
When Tao Ye was led to the pavilion, Qi Mingyue was surrounded by five or six noble ladies. In the middle of the stone table covered with yellow brocade, there was a treasure duck incense burner burning incense.
The aroma is exceptionally sweet.
"This slave has met the princess!"
Taoye bowed respectfully.
She originally thought that she would be left to kneel for a while, but Princess Mingyue screamed happily, but Taoye did not dare to let go.
"Princess, who is this? Why is he dressed so shabbily, looking like a rude servant?"
Sure enough, as soon as she stood up, there was a voice of disgust.
"What a maid? This is the maid given to brother Ajiu by my aunt!"
Mingyue smiled.
"Is this the maid who made Young Master Rong Wu disobey Duke Jing? She looks like Zhou Zheng!"
Taoye glanced down at a pair of hands reaching towards her, and after a moment her chin was lifted high.
The red nails stained with red nails secretly exerted force, and there was a stinging sensation on the chin, but Tao Ye did not say anything.
"Brother Ajiu likes her, Lu Fang, you have rough hands and feet, don't hurt anyone!"
Mingyue's face seemed a little unhappy.
"No matter how much the master likes her, she is just a common roommate, and the princess treats her too much as a human being!"
Lu Fang looked disdainful, but still took her hand back.
There were three red marks on Taoye's fair chin.
"Is it okay? This is Marquis Wuwei's sister. She usually likes to dance with guns and sticks. I didn't hurt you, did I?"
"Princess, you are serious, my slave is fine!"
Taoye looked frightened and hurriedly shook her head and replied.
"I wonder what the princess ordered when she called the slave over?"
Tao Ye had already thought that the visitor was evil.
But when the princess calls her here, she won't just be ridiculed.
"I don't have any instructions. I just feel that Brother Ajiu has to go to school during the day, and you would be bored staying in the yard alone. We happened to think of an interesting way to play today, so we asked you to come with Lele!"
Mingyue said.
"Slave, thank you princess for your kindness!"
Interesting idea? Taoye thought to herself that this was a way to make herself suffer secretly.
But when Lu Fang pinched herself with her nails, and when the princess spoke to stop her, the disapproval in her eyes was real.
This shows that the princess cares about the fifth young master's thoughts.
As long as the princess is afraid, Taoye's heart will be half determined.
As for suffering some hardships, she was prepared when she came.
"Come here, bring over what you have prepared first!"
Mingyue winked, and the maid next to her raised her voice to the people waiting outside the pavilion.
"yes!"
After a while, several maids brought a square table, on which were placed a few small bows and several bags of arrows. The arrow shafts were no different from ordinary ones, but the arrow heads were wrapped in various colors of thin cloth and were round and round. There seemed to be something inside, and there was a strong fragrance on it.
Taoye stood aside with a low eyebrow.
In the pavilion, a noble girl wearing a Yao yellow skirt asked strangely: "Princess, what is this?"
"Why is there still a fragrance? Although it's not as strong as the one just now, it smells like the best spices!"
The noble ladies all moved forward to look at the things. Only Lu Fang was still sitting where he was. His eyes did not go to the square table, but looked towards Tao Ye.
Taoye was already a little wary of this person, and quickly noticed this malicious look.
"The Autumn Hunt will be held in this academy in three days. I thought that although we people don't have to go with us, we can still take advantage of the occasion and have some fun!"
"I, the princess, had this arrowhead taken away and wrapped in thin silk with the spices just given by my father. The arrow will not hurt anyone. On the contrary, the person who was shot will be covered with fragrance!"
Mingyue looked very interested.
"The princess has such a clever idea. It's not only interesting, but it can also bring luck to the brothers in the family before the autumn hunt."
"Only a princess can do something like this. These spices are rare tributes!"
The ladies praised again, and Ming Yue looked happy after hearing this.
"Hurry up and tell the maids to go down and stand still. My hands are itchy!"
Lu Fang stepped forward and urged.
Mingyue smiled and asked someone to pass on the message.
"Sister Lu, please stop holding your hands later and give us some opportunities!"
One of the ladies said with a smile.
The ladies in the pavilion each took a small bow and tried it randomly.
It is difficult for them to come into contact with these things that are only used by men, and they are very novel for a while.
These bows are so light that they can pull them apart even with their strength.
A dozen maids were also standing below.
"Why are you still here? Didn't you hear the princess's instructions?"
Lu Fang nocked an arrow and drew the bow with skillful gestures.
He turned around and saw Taoye still standing there, raising his chin and scolding.
"Go down and have fun with them. Don't worry, this arrow won't hurt anyone!"
Although the words were spoken gently, there was an uncontrollable excitement in his tone.
"Slave, you obey!"
Taoye responded softly and walked to the crowd of maids at the bottom.
"Princess, please take the first arrow first!"
Lu Fang had loaded the arrow a long time ago, and now she just raised her bow, pointing the arrow head straight at the peach leaf.
There was a sound of breaking wind, and the arrow in Lu Fang's hand flew away from the bow.
