Xie Shu walked on the corridor, glanced at the pale Qingdai behind her, and whispered comfortingly: "Don't be afraid."
After listening to her girl's words, Qingdai recovered from the fright, but she still looked behind her with some fear. Seeing that no one was following her, she turned to her girl with a pale face and asked, "Miss , who are those people? The girl didn't bump into the young man intentionally just now. The young man suddenly came out from the corner. The girl didn't stop her feet before they bumped into each other. How could the young man be so scary? When he got angry, he grabbed the girl's neck, and then someone asked the slave and the girl's identity carefully, asking the slave over and over again, and the slave was a little dizzy from the questions."
As Qingdai spoke, she looked at Xie Shu's neck and asked worriedly: "Girl, are you okay? Did that person hurt the girl?"
Xie Shu just saw the prince Xiao Yan, and her whole mind was on how to deal with the moody and suspicious prince of the East Palace. She didn't even care about Xiao Yan pinching her. Now when she heard Qingdai ask, she realized There was a slight pain in the neck, but it was not too obvious.
She shook her head and said to Qingdai: "It doesn't matter, just go back and apply some medicine and it will be fine. It won't hurt too much."
Qingdai wanted to ask again, but Xie Shu lowered his voice and said, "Let's go back and talk."
Qingdai glanced at the delicate box in the girl's hand. Although she still had doubts in her heart, she calmed down after hearing what Xie Shu said, and the master and servant went all the way to their residence.
Not far away, Fu Xuzhi frowned slightly as he watched the two people leaving.
Qing Mo, the young man who was following him, noticed that his young master had a strange expression on his face. He followed his gaze and saw the backs of two girls. They were probably a master and a servant.
"Sir, what's wrong with these two girls?"
Fu Xuzhi looked away and shook his head.
Although this road leads to the courtyard where the prince lives, there are also pilgrims in this temple, so there is no need to be too suspicious.
Besides, this Fu'an Temple was a place he and the prince chose to stay at last minute. How could outsiders know about it in advance, let alone what tricks were used behind the scenes.
If the successor in Jingyang Palace really had this ability, he would have taken over the Kunning Palace long ago.
"Nothing, let's go. By the way, send someone to deliver a letter to the mansion as fast as possible to talk about what's going on here. Just say that I went to Beijing with my aunt and two cousins, and tell my grandmother that they don't have to worry."
The young man Qing Mo nodded: "Yes, I will make arrangements right away."
...
Xie Shu took Qingdai all the way back to her yard, closed the door, and then told Qingdai what happened there in detail. Naturally, Xiao Yan's headache was hidden in these things. She only said that she accidentally bumped into the prince. Fortunately, the prince was generous and tolerant and did not punish her because of her small bump.
After hearing her words, Qingdai couldn't help but open her mouth. She was shocked by the identity of the young master, and wondered how this character who could only appear in story books stayed in this small Fu'an Temple and bumped into their girl. Right.
In shock, she swallowed, patted her heart with some fear, and said: "Girl, when we go out in the future, we should check the almanac first. It is really not appropriate to go out today. If the prince insists on treating the girl's conflict today, Sin, I’m afraid the girl won’t be able to come back.”
Qing Dai said, her face getting paler.
As a slave, the biggest mistake she could think of in her life was to offend the madam or to be insulted by the old lady. How could she have imagined that one day she would meet a high-ranking prince in her life!
Moreover, that person's temper was so moody that the girl only got into such a fight after a small collision.
Thinking about it now, it was God's blessing that they could escape this situation.
Seeing Qingdai being frightened like this, Xie Shu was a little frightened, but he still smiled, took her hand and comforted her: "Okay, everything is over. He is a high-ranking prince, and he will not punish us now. You won’t argue with us in the future.”
"You act as if nothing happened today. You accompany your girl and I to the Buddhist temple to offer Buddhist scriptures. The journey is smooth, do you understand?"
Qingdai was not stupid. She didn't know the seriousness of this matter. After listening to Xie Shu's words, she quickly nodded in agreement.
"I know this. I naturally only accompany the girl to worship the Buddhist scriptures."
After Qingdai finished speaking, her eyes fell on the box on the table. She said with some caution: "Girl, this is..."
Xie Shu stretched out her hand to open the box, and saw a neat pile of porcelain blue paper inside, as well as a palm-sized sky-blue Ru kiln sealed bottle. She was silent for a moment and said: "The one who asked your girl to copy some The Buddhist scriptures are considered an apology.”
Qingdai felt a little strange in her heart, and asked a little cautiously: "What does the girl mean, do we still have to deal with that person?"
She was a little scared, what happened today really frightened her. Moreover, since His Royal Highness is a noble prince, there will be no shortage of Buddhist scriptures. If he wants them, there will be plenty of people to copy them for him. Why did the prince ask his daughter to copy Buddhist scriptures as an apology, and even rewarded him with these things?
Qingdai glanced at her girl's face, which was still beautiful after recovering from a serious illness, and an idea came to her mind.
Could it be that the prince got interested and fell in love with his own girl.
However, if it was because of his girl's face, then the prince shouldn't have thought of strangling her girl to death because of her.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Xie Shu asked curiously.
Qingdai suppressed the speculation in her heart. It was impossible. Naturally, she would not tell her daughter. She just shook her head and said: "It's nothing. I just feel that what happened today is really unreal. This I was still in a trance for a while, like I was having a dream.”
Mr. Xie smiled and said: "Okay, put all these things on the table away, don't let others see it and cause trouble in vain."
Qingdai nodded quickly after hearing this, stepped forward to pick up the things, walked around the room for a few steps, and finally hid the things under the cage.
When she turned back to pour a cup of tea, took ointment and walked to her girl, she saw the girl sitting on the couch, motionless, seeming to be thinking about something, a little lost in thought.
After all, the girl was frightened. She didn't dare to disturb the girl. She just put the things down gently, thinking that she would borrow the small kitchen of the temple later to make a bowl of soothing soup for the girl, so as to calm the girl's shock.
Xie Shu mentally sorted out what happened today, thinking about the things she heard about the prince from Duke Anguo's mansion in her previous life. She understood that the prince was ordered to escort Enshi's coffin back to his hometown for burial, and he stayed here when he returned to Beijing. Fu'an Temple. She didn't meet him in her previous life because they left for Beijing early this morning.
In this life, she never set off just to please Fu Qionghua. She never imagined that she would meet Prince Xiao Yan on his way back to Beijing.
After resurrecting his life, some things have changed. Although it was just a small thing, it was enough to make her feel courageous and to feel that she could escape the ending like that of her previous life.
She thought again that she had offended Xie Yan today, but she had not yet been punished by Fu Qionghua. She did not understand it at first, but now that she thought about it, she had a vague guess. The prince came to Fu'an Temple, and Fu Xuzhiding, who was the prince's accompaniment, also came with the prince. Fu Qionghua has the most servants around him. If he knew about this, he would not want to see his own son. So at noon today, their family should be reunited, right? No wonder she was sent away to go to the Buddhist temple to offer Buddhist scriptures and pray for her grandmother and grandma.
What a great aunt-nephew reunion!
There was a trace of ridicule in Xie's eyes. Without the restriction of being Fu Qionghua's daughter, when Xie looked at Fu Qionghua again, she was no longer the daughter who always thought about how to please her, and no longer favored her because of her. For her, this is the best thing for her.
She murmured to herself, her tone firm and calm: "My good aunt, no one in this life will be able to manipulate you like that."
The sun shines in through the window lattice and falls on Xie Shu's body, covering her whole body with a layer of yellow light. She lowers her eyes slightly so that people can't see the emotions in her eyes, but the temperament around her is so different. In the past, it actually gave people a kind of breathtaking beauty after being transparent and precipitated.
...
Wing room
Fu Qionghua held on and talked to Xie Yan for a while and then asked her to go back to her room to rest. When Xie Yan left, the smile on her face disappeared and tears fell down.
"Today, when Xuzhi saw me as an aunt, she was more than respectful to me but not close enough. She also kept saying that she wanted to prepare a precious birthday gift for Mrs. Zhou. My heart really hurts like a knife."
"Xuzhi is my son!"
Fu Qionghua's throat was sore. She always cared about face, but now in front of Aunt Kang, she could not hide her sadness and jealousy.
Aunt Kang didn't know how uncomfortable her wife was feeling, but she did it herself. If she hadn't given up the young master and the second girl, how could she be as uncomfortable as she is today?
"Madam, please don't take it to heart. I see that the young master is still very close to the madam. Otherwise, how could the young master spare the time to have this meal with you, madam, when he is working as an errand for His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Young Master has grown up in the Duke's Mansion since he was young. He values etiquette the most. The so-called Young Master is upright and gentle as jade. This is what our Young Master is like. You should be happy, why should you be sad? After you enter the capital, you will be in the Duke's Mansion. If we live here and spend more time with our young master, our friendship will naturally develop."
"After all, they are mother and son. How can this blood connection be matched by the Zhou family's raising a child?"
Listening to Aunt Kang's words, Fu Qionghua gradually held back her tears. She slowly raised her head and looked at Aunt Kang: "Auntie is right, Xuzhi is my biological son, and she was pregnant with me in ten months." After all the hard work, how can the Zhou family compare?"
