"Your Highness' personality is indifferent, and you don't like socializing with others, so Young Master Qi is Duke Wang's only good friend. The two grew up together, so naturally their relationship is not ordinary." Xia Shui thought for a while before saying.
"He's not normal, why is he not?" My gossip is burning.
"Your Highness said that when you see the Young Master Qi, you will also see the Prince. The Young Master Qi is the only one who can freely enter and exit the Duke's room, and on every holiday, the Prince will be spending time with the Young Master Qi. Even on New Year's Eve, the Young Master Qi will be coming to the Duke's Mansion to eat." Xia Shui began to count their history for me, one by one, with fingers stiff.
"So that means, the relationship between your prince and Qi Mo is really not ordinary. Do you think that the reason your prince doesn't get close to women is because his heart belongs to someone?"
"It can't be, the prince has never given that lady a second look, he doesn't seem like the person he loves at all." Xia Shui shook her head.
"Aiya, could you be more lively with your thoughts? You said that your prince has a cold personality! Even if it's a girl with heavenly beauty, he would not be moved by her. Isn't it strange that he would be so devoted to the Young Master Qi?" I touched my chin. "There's only one truth."
"What?" Xia Shui looked at me blankly.
"Your Prince is most likely having an affair with Young Master Qi." My smile was vulgar, and the spirit of the Corrupt Woman was burning.
"What is having an affair?" Xia Shui was even more confused now.
"It's that your prince is short-sleeved." I thought about it and then explained it to Xia Shui.
Hearing that, Xia Shui covered my mouth, and looked around vigilantly, seeing that no one was around, she finally let go of me, "You cannot speak nonsense, if the Duke hears about this, we are dead."
"It's not that scary. You're just too timid." I said as I held Xia Shui's hand.
In any case, you can just tell me what you want to say. Short sleeves are taboo for large families, and even if the prince really is a short sleeve, you can't talk about it. Xia Shui looked at me with a face full of worry.
"Alright, I understand. Don't worry, you're talking to your elder sister and I, the Elves. How could I dare to mention such words in front of others? I'm just saying it in private." I comforted Xia Shui.
The rest of the journey was filled with excitement and sorrow. If Bai Jing really was involved with Qi Mo, then what should I do? I thought about how the Bai Jing that I knew didn't seem like a person who liked men at all.
"Wuwuwu." Feeling depressed, I hit my head and decided to not dwell on this matter anymore. I will deal with it as much as I can.
It seems like not only do I have to guard against people who curse at Bai Jing, but I also have to help him change his sexual orientation.
When I heard Xia Shui mention this courtyard, I felt that the relationship between him and Bai Jing was not normal since it was set up by Qi Mo. Originally, I thought that this courtyard was planned by a clever woman, but I never expected it to be Qi Mo, so I didn't think that this Qi Mo had such meticulous thoughts. He was just like a girl, no wonder all the servants let their spirits fall towards him, Goblin.
At that moment, the beautiful image that Qi Mo established in my heart instantly collapsed. Initially, I had thought that he was a noble young master with a noble character, but I hadn't thought that he would actually want to snatch the limelight from me. The heavens were truly unfair to me, I even wanted to snatch a man away from him.
Xia Shui had gone to get breakfast, so I started to let my imagination run wild.
"Big sister, I brought the breakfast over. Come over and eat." When Xia Shui was done with her work in the house, she immediately called for me. Just as I came back to my senses, I acknowledged him and entered the house.
The dishes on the table were as instructed. There was chicken soup and two meat dishes. Moreover, they looked good, so the taste shouldn't be too bad.
"Miss, you can eat now." Xia Shui helped me set up the tableware, and it was only when I impatiently sat down and was about to start eating that I realized there was only one set of tableware.
"Xia Shui, what about you? Why don't you sit down and eat as well?" I pulled Xia Shui and asked her to sit down.
"How can that be? I'll go eat later." Xia Shui hurriedly refused.
"Why are you being so courteous with me? Moreover, there are so many people that I can't finish by myself. The old man over there said that wasting food will be punished by the heavens, do you want me to be struck to death by lightning?" I pressed against Xia Shui as he sat beside me, not allowing him to get up.
"But that's against the rules." Xia Shui still refused.
Furthermore, we all eat at the same table here, so you can accompany me. Look how lonely I am eating by myself, and how lonely I am! Xia Shui, just accompany me. I started to practice my ultimate skill, acting coquettishly.
Xia Shui finally couldn't take my pressure and said, "Okay, but if we go outside, you won't be able to let me eat with you anymore, I will." Xia Shui had a lecturing look on her face again.
"I know that those who want to do something will get themselves into trouble if they hear it. Be at home in the country, don't worry, we respect our etiquette here, but once we leave this courtyard, we will follow your etiquette here. Whatever you say and what I do, I will definitely make you satisfied." I smiled.
"Sister must remember your words." Xia Shui said with a serious face.
"I know, I know, at such a young age, you're so mature." I took out a pair of chopsticks and gave Xia Shui an excuse.
Xia Shui sat down, but she was extremely reserved, probably not used to it. I used all my strength to serve her food, causing her to be overwhelmed by the favor. Xia Shui is a girl who doesn't have any schemes, and she was truly good to me. I like her a lot, and she's the first person I was willing to protect after I arrived here.
"Are all the food in your Duke Palace so good?" Xia Shui and I chatted as we ate.
"No, the prince has never eaten in the palace, moreover, the prince has a light taste and likes to eat vegetables, so every meal in the kitchen is prepared with light vegetarian food. After all, the lady was injured because of the prince, and the husband said that she needed to make it up, so the prince specifically ordered the kitchen to make it."
"Oh, so that's how it is. At least your prince still has some conscience." I picked up a chicken leg and gnawed on it.
"Elder sister Xiang, your manner of eating is really unlike a woman's." Xia Shui said with disgust.
"We like to eat meat and drink wine, unlike you guys who eat and have a bunch of demands." I wiped the grease from the corner of my mouth.
"I feel like my sister is living in a fairyland." Xia Shui's face was filled with envy.
"I didn't think so before. Now that I'm here, I feel that I was very happy before." I smiled.
