The second prince carefully walked into the bright-colored pheasant, and then stretched out his hand to caress its feathers.
very good.
He raised his eyes, with the smile still on his face, and replied softly: "Thank you, Mrs. Chen."
Cen Xijin felt surprised in his heart. In the past, the second prince wanted to kill these flat-haired beasts. It was these crowing roosters that made him unable to sleep peacefully every day. How could he be so well-behaved and gentle? If things are strange, there must be a reason.
Sure enough, she honestly carried two pheasant cubs and carefully followed the second prince under Chen Jieyu's pained eyes. Not far from Yaoguang Palace, the second prince whispered: "Aunt, I Something unusual was discovered.”
At this moment, Cen Xijin's temper was rising. She didn't want to care about the second prince's little actions towards Huayi, but she was annoyed by another thing, so she scolded her in a low voice with a straight face: "Your Highness, since you are coming, please come in advance." Just tell the slave, and the slave will not restrain you, so why do you need to play such a trick!"
"Is Auntie angry?" When planning this matter, he also guessed that Auntie would be annoyed. However, he originally just wanted to bump into his father's face, and then use Pheasant Cub Tang Zhiyan to explain his emotions and reason. In this way, his father would not forget him easily and treat him better. , life in the Jianxian Hall doesn’t have to be so tight, and people won’t bully you at will.
Cen Xijin stood under the vermilion palace wall with a solemn expression: "Yes, I'm annoyed. You have small thoughts. There's nothing unspeakable. But, don't you even want to believe your aunt? Do you want to involve your aunt as well?" "
Logically speaking, it is a good thing that the child has become smarter, but she was actually involved in this matter. The more Cen Xijin thought about it, the more chilled he felt.
The second prince suddenly blushed, biting his red lips and argued: "I, if I didn't believe my aunt, I wouldn't have told my aunt about those unusual things!"
"Then you say it and I'll listen." Cen Xijin was still a little angry.
Seeing her stubborn look, the second prince became angry: "Since you don't believe it, then what I said is in vain. That's all."
After saying this, he took long strides and walked away angrily. Look at his behavior, but he was still the arrogant and overbearing little bully he was before.
Cen Xijin was startled, and quickly followed with the pheasant cub in hand, but kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
After all, people are talking a lot along the way.
Even in the Jianxian Hall, one cannot avoid suspicion.
So when the two of them returned to Jianxian Palace, they seemed to be angry. They both blushed and said nothing, which made the palace people panic with curiosity.
Cai Xin was the most daring. When she saw Cen Xijin hiding alone against the back wall, holding up a knife and trying to kill the chicken. The two pheasants were still flapping about vigorously on the ground, so she joined in with a smile. Come over: "Auntie, you can't kill a chicken with a bull's knife, so let me help you."
Cen Xijin sighed, thinking that he couldn't do it, so he had to stop the knife in his hand silently, and then handed the knife to her.
Cai Xin took the knife and stroked the fine down on the pheasant cub. Thinking of the days when she was playing in the countryside as a child, her usually tough heart softened. She smiled shyly and said, "Auntie, look at this. There is no need to kill both pheasant cubs. Firstly, His Highness cannot eat so much. Secondly, we might as well keep one for a while."
"Do you think our Highness is willing to raise chickens in the Jianxian Hall? On weekdays, he finds it so noisy that he wants to kill the chickens in the Yaoguang Hall! I think it would be better to comply with his wishes and raise the chickens. That would be great if we kill them all!" Cen Xijin sat on the small bench, squinting his eyes and sneering. He spoke as if he had taken gunpowder, and was not polite at all.
"This pheasant cub is a hen that can't crow, and it's so small. How can it make a noise?" Cai Xin picked up the pheasant cub distressedly, and then looked at her carefully, "I see, my aunt is angry with His Highness. Well, let me say one more thing, this is just anger, but don't let the traitor succeed! Auntie, you are now the eldest maid, no longer the rough little maid doing odd jobs in the small kitchen, you are worried It shouldn’t be about these trivial matters, but about His Highness.”
Cen Xijin snorted coldly and turned away. She knew that Cai Xin wished she could rush up and put the second prince to sleep!
Cai Xin stuck out her tongue, held the pheasant cub tightly in her arms, and said with a flattering smile: "Auntie, Sister Feng'er, while you were not in front of His Highness, she just had time to run in. There’s so much attentiveness inside!”
"Let her go! How can I be so domineering and hold on to His Highness?" Rolling his eyes, Cen Xijin felt like there were several nails growing on the small bench. He could no longer sit still and had to stand. He got up and walked to the main hall of Jianxian Hall with small steps.
Seeing Feng'er serving the second prince with tea, handing him water, squeezing his shoulders and rubbing his back with such intimacy and thoughtfulness, Cen Xijin felt like an unknown fire was lit in his heart, and his words were even more like setting off firecrackers. There was no trace of his usual gentleness and tolerance. and: "Bee! What are you doing!"
Feng'er raised her face as bright as a flower, and her delicate laughter was as touching as the oriole leaving the valley: "Auntie, you only care about killing chickens, but you leave His Highness alone here. As a second-class palace maid, I am here to serve you." Isn’t it possible for His Highness the Second Prince to do so?”
"Of course you did a good job. As a palace servant, it is your duty to serve your master. You just rubbed your shoulders and back, but you said it was too much. Your Highness is still a child and his bones are delicate. You have to be careful not to rub him. Broken." Cen Xijin had a smile on his face, but his mouth was full of sour words.
She stood by the door and watched coldly, and saw that Feng'er's cherry blossom pink palace robe was covered with a plain velvet embroidered jacket. Needless to say, the embroidery on it was exquisite, and the silver-gray fox fur collar was very popular in the palace. It is extremely rare among people, which makes her originally somewhat petty appearance even more grand.
Huh, she's quite sophisticated.
Cen Xijin lowered his eyes and looked at the embroidered jacket on his body. The sourness in his heart became even stronger, but he didn't know where the sourness came from!
However, after being in the palace for so many days, she finally got a taste of jealousy... Uh, bah, who is jealous of whom?
She's not sore, not at all.
Not angry either.
Cen Xijin firmly believed that no matter how close and friendly His Highness was to Feng'er, he would not tell her those important things.
Your Highness is only willing to tell her those important things.
"Sister Feng'er, I have something important to tell you." The second prince raised his fingers at Feng'er with a serious expression.
"Yes -" Feng'er looked at Cen Xijin proudly, her voice was so hoarse that she almost wanted to drag one word into three.
Cen Xijin: "..." My face hurts.
