Chapter 40

The voice of joy went lower and lower until it was completely eliminated.

"You don't think I deserve him?" In front of Yan Qiqi, there is a pair of bronze mirrors. The little girl's young face has just opened, and her sparkling eyes are full of autumn water. Looking forward to the bright, I believe she will be a great beauty soon. A small cherry mouth is ruddy and full, and her every move is a girl's charming and naive.

It looks good anyway, no worse than Yan Luoqing.

"Princess, in fact, it's not. I just heard from the waiter that childe Xu likes more amorous women. You may not be her dish..."

After these months of getting along, Yan Qiqi didn't do well with Huanxi in private, so Huanxi had more and more courage, and even used the modern vocabulary Yan Qiqi taught her.

"You sources are very well informed!" Yan Qi's tone changed. She wanted to frighten her joy.

Just listen to joy and suddenly sigh, "princess, I want you to talk more. I hope you don't have to deal with the long Princess..."

Yan Qiqi's heart moved. Did the little servant girl see that the long princess was wrong?

"Why do you think so?"

The joy stopped. Later, it seemed that she had made up her mind, "because Chuner, the little servant girl who had been with her for ten years, was killed by her after you fell into the water..."

The servant girl who has served her for ten years was killed?

Human life is like grass mustard.

"Seriously?"

Tears welled up when joy said this to Yan Qiqi. She choked and continued: "princess, the maidservant won't cheat you. Have you forgotten that chun'er and I are from the same hometown? You chose me and the long Princess chose chun'er at the same time."

Huanxi is only 18 years old this year. Chun'er estimates that she is about the same age as her. No wonder she feels sad about the death of a rabbit.

"Don't be sad. I won't treat you like that."

Walking in the backyard of the deep palace is no different from licking blood at the edge of the knife. She had long suspected that the reason why she fell into the water was not simple. Now someone did it first before she started to investigate.

Well, there is no silver here. The more she can't help it, the more she can know.

"I know, so I remind you to take care."

In this era, the smarter servant girls all know how to protect themselves. They are happy to have followed her for so many years. They have already regarded her as their relatives. Yan Qiqi naturally knows, "don't worry, I understand."

But now she can't be too far away from Yan Luoqing. When she fell into the water, she was the first witness. If you want to know the cause of the matter, it's natural to get words out of her mouth.

As the saying goes, if you don't go into a tiger's den, you will get a tiger's son. Even if she wants to avoid it, Yan Luoqing won't let her go.

"Huanxi, go and inquire for me tomorrow. Those people will come to the prince's birthday party“

As far as she knows, the prince will soon grow up. I'm afraid the purpose of this birthday party will not be so simple. Emperor Yan is even more abnormal. He summoned Duke Cheng to ask about her marriage. His highness looked at himself strangely.

She doesn't want to be the focus of attention again. If she can keep a low profile, try to keep a low profile.

However, she is not a patient person. Others bullied her. If you don't give a little warning, do you really take her as waste?

She looked sharply at the clothes on the table and had an idea in her heart.

Joy is also very effective.

At noon, I got the information Yan Qiqi wanted.

"Princess, the second childe of Li Shangshu's family and the third young lady of Bai Yushi's family will go to the banquet this time. Anyway, the unmarried CHILDES and young ladies with official titles above the third grade in the capital will go."

"And..." Huanxi began to hesitate again.

"What else?"

"And Mr. Xu of the Duke of the state of Xu will also go..." joyfully looked at her carefully and stopped talking: "princess, why don't we go?"

Yan Qi knows what joy is worried about.

Over the past few months, she has not been in the limelight much, but not little. Originally, she did not have much sense of existence. She has been in the limelight at the hunting meeting. In addition, Xu Shian is famous in the capital. She has been retired. It must be more embarrassing to sit at the same table.

But she has always regarded Xu Shian as a stranger. Even if she saved his life from the people in the house, it's for the sake of money. To put it bluntly, Xu Shian is not her own dish. Even if she is the same table, she doesn't feel embarrassed.

"Don't worry, I really don't like him. Besides, there are so many people going this time. As long as I reduce my sense of existence, I'll be fine."

If she doesn't go to the party, some people will try to make a fool of her.

……

In the study of Xu Shian, the Duke of the state of Xu.

He was concentrating on the painting of Danqing, and Yan Luoqing came.

"See the eldest princess..." he tried to kneel, but was quickly supported by Yan Luoqing's eyes and hands. "Don't be polite, cousin. I just want to visit relatives today."

Yan Luoqing didn't use the title of "this palace", but said that she just came to visit relatives. The implication was to ask Xu Shian not to treat her as a princess.

Xu Shian is thin and handsome, and Yan Luoqing is going to be crazy.

That casual touch just now made her tremble. Her face was flushed with spring water. Her beautiful eyes were full of brightness. She deliberately got close to Xu Shian, "what are you painting?"

The girl's fragrance lingered in his nose. When he lowered his head, he could see her charming little face. Xu Shian moved back slightly, "I have nothing to do and draw freely."

But Yan Luoqing saw it clearly.

The picture shows the outline of a newly formed girl, and the face has not been painted yet.

A gauze is flying in the wind beside the weeping willow, which makes me feel very good.

"How nice." Yan Luoqing is also a talented woman. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is especially good at painting. She is even more penetrating in the depiction of characters and landscapes.

Xu Shian nodded slightly, "the princess praised me."

Yan Luoqing's bones were going to be crisp when she could talk to him so close, and her tone was even more euphemistic. "Son, can you give me this painting?"
