Chapter 248

Catch up with the new year.

The emperor held a banquet in the palace.

Yi Xiaoqiao and others arranged all matters before the new year's customs and set off for Kyoto.

Kyoto is still prosperous.

The palace is still hung with a large plaque with the word "North Palace", which has not been seen in a few months. The North Palace is still clean, the stone lion at the door is clean, and the gate is clean. Walking into the North Palace is more like going to someone else's house. The red plum planted in the yard and the layers of falling snow complement each other.

The boy and the maid stood in two rows and saluted together. Even their voices were neat and uniform.

Yi Xiaoqiao was frightened.

Originally, they didn't want to go back to the North King's residence. After all, Mu Yi'an said he didn't want to be the North King again. Yi Lan asked him conscientiously. The emperor also wrote several letters to stay. The steps were enough, but he felt hypocritical. Mu Yi'an finally went down the steps, but unexpectedly

There was such a battle under the steps, which really surprised Yi Xiaoqiao.

Mu Yi'an is also adapted. Although he doesn't like being served by others, fortunately, he is very adaptable. In addition, he has been a general for many years, and his temperament has been cultivated to a certain extent. There is a bit more noble in his gestures, which can't be blasphemed by anyone.

Yi Xiaoqiao walked round huanju all the way and had to sit in his room. Then he slowly breathed out.

Completely relaxed.

"How do many people?"

In the past, there were not so many people in their family. In the past, except for a few cooks and servant girls and boys in charge of cleaning, all the rest were their own people, such as Tian Xiang, Michelle, Yu Heng and so on.

This time there are so many people suddenly. Yi Xiaoqiao is incompetent to adapt.

"I think it may have been arranged by the emperor." Mu Yi'an stood side by side and touched the teapot on the table with two fingers. Indeed, the teapot was warm. It was obvious that the tea had been warmed in advance.

Mu Yi'an poured a cup of hot tea to Yi Xiaoqiao: "madam, drink some hot tea to warm up."

"Even the tea is ready?" Yi Xiaoqiao was even more surprised. It seems that these people have long been good. They are coming back.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the door, and two little girls came in one after another.

"Lord, madam." Two people are together, even their voices are neat, like a person.

Yi Xiaoqiao looked at the two men. They were only thirteen or fourteen years old. It was when they were young and young. At a glance, the little face could pinch out water. Maybe it was the first time they saw them, so they were a little nervous and slightly stiff, but they looked calm. They could see that they were also severely trained.

"Who are you?"

"Madam Hui, the maidservant Chaoyun."

"Maidservant evening rain."

"... morning clouds and evening rain?" Yi Xiaoqiao slightly raised his eyelids and looked at Mu Yian. Seeing that Mu Yian ignored himself, he asked, "who let you come? Why are you here?"

"Back to Madam, before the emperor chose a maid to enter the palace. The slaves and maidservants served her."

"You want to stay in my yard?" Yi Xiaoqiao was even more stunned. She was not used to getting along with strangers. At this time, she was more and more uncomfortable to see them. She gently pulled Mu Yian's clothes and winked at him.

"There are people to serve in Hehuan residence. You don't need to."

"Lord..."

"If you want to serve, go out and do some chores."

The two girls looked thin and tender, and looked a little beautiful. Maybe they didn't expect Mu Yi'an to send them to do chores. They were all a little surprised.

"Lord, you two..."

"What's the matter? Do you have an opinion?" Mu Yi'an glanced back at them.

When they were surprised, they immediately saluted their bodies, and even dared not lift their heads and said, "slaves dare not."

"Go back if you don't want to. My wife likes quiet and doesn't like so many people to serve. It's inconvenient for you to stay here."

Their heads dropped lower and whispered, "slaves and maidservants dare not. Please don't drive us away. We will be punished when we go back."

"What is it to me that you are punished?" Mu Yian said indifferently.

The two men knelt down on their knees: "Lord, forgive me. I know I'm wrong. I won't arrange it at will in the future. Please forgive me."

Mu Yi'an smiled coldly: "go out."

"Yes."

They both backed out.

Mu Yi'an smiled, pinched Yi Xiao Qiao's face, and pulled out a smile on her stiff face: "Why are you the hostess more nervous than the two of them? It seems that they are the masters here."

"Can someone not be the master!" Yi Xiaoqiao put the cup on the table and said, "the hot tea is ready. It's like entertaining guests with considerate etiquette."

No, it's so considerate. Almost everything helps them think of it. But the more it is, the more people are afraid. For no reason, a fear arises from the bottom of their heart. They seem to have become birds in cages and toys in the palm of their hands, leaving others to play with.

Yi Xiaoqiao looked at the familiar room. It was clear that every place was so familiar, but because there were a few more people, it changed from familiar to strange. At this time, she felt that this was not her territory. She stroked the Yellow bronze mirror and herself in the mirror, and her eyebrows were a little tangled: "I always felt that this was my own home, not like my own home, very strange."

Mu Yi'an held her hand: "in fact, it's nothing. It's just a few more eyes. It's no big deal to be seen by people. They just think they're rare. If they want to see it, let them see it well enough."

Yi Xiaoqiao understood that in a flagrant way, Qian Yu did not trust Mu Yian and put his eyes on the palace.

When I think of Qian Yu, Yi Xiaoqiao really doesn't know whether to cry or laugh.

In a flagrant way, in a sneaky way, people always at a loss what to do. They can't be seen in a different way. They are so blatant that they are sent to a group of 20 people. You know they are eyeliner, but you can't help but get it.

Killing them is disrespectful to the emperor. If you don't kill them, they are not your own people. You are surrounded by enemies. You can't resist and have nowhere to hide.

Think about it, I feel depressed and flustered.

Yi Xiaoqiao is fine. She's just a lady. She's gentle. Even if she's favored, she's just a woman. People don't have anything to be vigilant about. But mu Yi'an is different. He's the object of key surveillance. He can do a lot of things before. Now I'm afraid she has to be careful. Maybe someone will hold on to something wrong.

This was the Royal Palace, which should be her home. It should be the most relaxed and relaxed place for her, but the reality did not let Yi Xiaoqiao relax at all, but made her tense all over.
