In the room, Luo Shang sat by the window, staring at the flowers growing above the window, the peach blossoms, the petals falling, a delicate pink petal quietly floated into the house, and naturally fell into her palm.
Luo Shang smiled lightly.
She stood up, walked to the bed, and changed out of her dancers' clothes. She wore the same simple, light, purplish-white muslin dress as before.
In the bronze mirror, there was a reflection of an extremely beautiful plain face. The straight nose bone gave people a sense of texture. Without adding any makeup, it was still indescribably beautiful.
From the moment she was tricked by Yun Xiu and her schemes until the moment she reached the Peace Lightness Hall, she had always been at the Yue Pavilion, and had even been in the backyard for many days.
I wonder how Ah Yu and Zhuo Jin are doing in the Purple Gold Pavilion, I have not heard any news about them for the past month, Luo Shang is really worried. After some thought, she pushed open the door and left the Southern Courtyard.
"Halt!" The two guards guarding the entrance of the Yue Pavilion extended their arms out to stop her.
The guards of the Yue Pavilion were changed every three days, and it was unknown why Leng Shaoyu would make such a rule.
These guards recognized Luo Shang, and upon seeing that she was the one who had come, they respectfully bowed first. This humble servant greets the wangfei. "
"I need to leave the Yue Pavilion for a while, I hope..."
"The Prince ordered that without his orders, you cannot leave this place even half a step." The guards in the Yue Pavilion were all one-track, and it had always been the words of their Duke. If their Duke told them to head east, they wouldn't dare head west, and if his Highness wanted them to die, they wouldn't dare to live either.
Before Luo Shang could speak, several of the guards lowered their heads and hurriedly said, "I hope that wangfei will not make things difficult for us."
Luo Shang sighed lightly and turned around.
She knew that there was no point in speaking any further. Even if she did, as long as the man did not order her, these guards would not let her leave by even half a step.
Since that was the case, she could only obediently return to her residence.
As they walked along the long corridor, the cool wind was quite refreshing.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from not too far away, followed by the roars of the guards.
"Stop, don't run …"
Without much effort, a few guards caught up to the little girl who was running away, grabbed her by the hair and pushed her to the ground. One of the guards walked over to the little girl, grabbed the bundle that was tightly held in her arms, and threw it to the guard behind her.
He rubbed his palms together, raised the whip and mercilessly hit the girl's body.
While cursing at him, he said, "Damn it, trying to escape after stealing something, you slut, you're tired of living."
"I don't dare to do it again. I don't dare to do it again. Spare me, spare me." That girl was kneeling on the ground, incessantly begging and crying.
Her body was covered in wounds, and her hands were trembling as she continuously kowtowed.
"See if your father won't beat you to death —"
"Stop!"
Hearing the voice, the guard turned around angrily. Seeing that it was Luo Shang, he put down the whip in his hand.
Luo Shang directly walked towards the little girl who was lying on the ground. She knelt beside the little girl and asked her softly. Are you all right? "
The little girl seemed to be frightened, but she also seemed to have recognized Luo Shang's voice, and immediately screamed. Her hands hugged her head, and then pushed Luo Shang away forcefully as she escaped.
The guards whispered a curse and chased after him.
Luo Shang, who was pushed to the ground, dodged a bit, patted on the dust below her body, and felt that the girl was really strange.
Her entire body was dirty, her tattered green clothes almost covered her entire body, her hair was messy, and her face was also dirty to the point of not being able to look good. Because she had lowered her head, Luo Shang was unable to see her appearance.
Luo Shang stood up and coincidentally walked over to the two girls. They saw that Luo Shang was intentionally putting on airs. "It's almost time for lunch," he said. "The prince has ordered this servant to inform Princess Hua-Yang so that they can quickly prepare."
After saying that, the servant girl left without looking back, afraid that she would waste another second of her time.
— —
The kitchen of Yue Pavilion was really big, whether to say that it was gorgeous or luxurious.
All the food and utensils were placed in a neat and orderly manner.
Leng Shaoyu's food was always plentiful to the point of waste. Even if he didn't eat it, the servants had to prepare it according to common sense.
Just as Luo Shang entered the kitchen, all the girls, maids, cooks, and cooks that were busy were stunned.
How could there be such a beautiful female Heavenly Immortal in this world?
The men couldn't help but be dumbfounded, their saliva almost flowing out.
The servants in the kitchen did not know who the woman in front of them was. They usually stayed there and did not walk around often either, occasionally delivering food to the big brothers who were guarding the door. Even meeting Prince Jin was difficult.
"What are you all looking at? Why aren't you working? Who can take responsibility for delaying the prince's lunch!" cried one of the Consul's older women.
The maidservants silently lowered their heads, continuing to busy themselves with the matters at hand, only occasionally glancing at the woman at the door.
"Do you know the eating habits of the prince? "Since you know, I will not say anymore. When you go there, they will tell you what to do. When the time comes, there will be people who will come to instruct you." The woman left as well.
Once the servants saw that the lady had left, they immediately surrounded Luo Shang.
They stared at Luo Shang for a long time.
"Are you a fairy?" A chef was still holding onto a large spoon in his hand, but his eyes never left Luo Shang's body.
Luo Shang was amused by him to the point that she raised her sleeves and laughed softly. A fairy? "
"Right, how can a fairy not be so beautiful? It's simply too beautiful." The chef had a fat head and large ears, but he was also simple and honest, except that he was a bit lustful.
However, as the saying goes, who doesn't love beautiful women? This can't be called lecherous.
Pow!
The serving maid next to the chef brought a large radish in her hand and knocked heavily on his head. He raised his head and said, "You, everyone that meets you says that you are a fairy. You even said that yesterday … You're still calling me a beauty. "
As the maid spoke, her voice became softer and softer. In front of everyone, she seemed a little shy.
"…" The chef felt wronged as she pinched his ear. Aiyo, my aunt, let go of me! I was wrong, I was wrong! You are a beauty, but she is really a fairy … Ah … Woman, have mercy … Mercy, you are also a fairy. "
After a moment of bickering, the maidservant let go. Everyone could not help but laugh.
"A servant then asked Luo Shang with a smile. My name is Cui Er, I am the chef here, may I know what your name is? "
"Yeah, how should I call you, I'm Ying Ying."
"The chef from before got excited. He immediately reached out his hand and shouted loudly, introducing himself." I'm called Little Fatty Wang, they all call me Little Fatty ge. "
After the fat guy finished speaking, all sorts of vegetables, radishes, and other random things were thrown at him. There were even kitchen knives. The fatty was so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind the table, not daring to peek his head out.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The maidservants stared at him, and quickly turned their heads and smiled, then asked Luo Shang for her name.
Luo Shang replied with a smile. Luo Shang. "
"Luo Shang... Luo Shang, someone from the Luo Family, could it be … Are you the princess? " A girl's eyes widened.
Everyone looked at Luo Shang. No wonder, why would such a beautiful woman appear out of nowhere? So she was actually the Princess Jin.
They had long since heard that the princess of Prince Jin was not only a beauty that could topple nations, but also a woman with many talents in medical arts. They thought that the rumor about his being so presumptuous must be a pretense, but they didn't expect that seeing his for the first time today, his reputation was really well-deserved.
However, they had also heard that this wangfei was highly disliked by everyone, especially their prince.
"You're the wangfei, but you don't look as big as me." A girl with two fingers on her lips was a little surprised. Such a talented girl was actually so young.
"Shh …" The little girl next to her immediately pushed her away and said with a smile, "Esteemed wangfei, please don't take offense to this. We're all country bumpkin people, so we don't understand what you're saying."
Luo Shang laughed. It's fine, you guys have probably heard about the treatment I'm getting, so naturally you don't have to be so formal. Just call me Luo Shang, I still need to trouble everyone to give me some pointers in the future. "
"No, not at all. After entering our kitchen, we'll be family once we close the door." "Hehe …" The girl called Ying Ying held Luo Shang's hand and walked into the kitchen. She blew on her beard and glared at Fatty, who was drooling at the side, before rolling her eyes. "Go, go, go and cut your meat. Look at that fat meat."
"The fatty's eyes were locked on Luo Shang as he drooled. "The meat was cut long ago."
Only then did the fatty turn around to understand what Yingying had said, he shouted directly to her in theory, "Aiya, I say, how is it my meat? How am I fat, I just a bit round in appearance."
"If I had to say so, you're a ball!" A kitchen servant nodded vigorously at the fatty's forehead.
"A bastard!" The people by the side joked one after another.
The fat man frowned, he touched his head, he saw Luo Shang laughing foolishly, but he was not angry.
The only place that could be this warm within the prince's mansion was most likely this place. Seeing how they were chatting and laughing without any hesitation, it truly made them seem like brothers and sisters.
This made Luo Shang think of the General's Manor. Although it had only been half a month since she had awoken from her illness, Nalan Suiya's love and care for her was definitely better than a sister's criticism. Loko had a heavy responsibility. She had not been in the mansion for long, but she did not seem unfamiliar to her. However, she did not feel that he was very friendly.
The blood relation was such a strange thing. If she forgot about it, it would be very difficult for her to remember.
It seemed that it had been almost three months since she married into the Jin Residence. There was a rule within the Wu Zhou sect, that when a woman marries into her husband's family for three months, she could return home to save her family.
"Aiyo, don't touch this thing. Let me do it. Look at your tender skin. If I use the knife for too long, it will become like this for me." Ying Ying pouted and sighed. She then raised her rough hands for Luo Shang to see.
"But I …" Luo Shang wanted to say something, but she was here to make lunch for that man.
Yingying pushed her to the side and pointed to the vegetable leaves in the pot. "Well, just wash this one."
"Bang ~ ~ ~"
A loud noise was heard from the corner of the kitchen as a kitchen knife was stabbed into a board. The person holding the saber was a woman. Like everyone else, she was not special.
If one were to speak of the real difference, it would be that she appeared extremely cold and taciturn.
The lady looked at Luo Shang and snorted. She picked up the water bucket and walked out of the kitchen.
"Sigh …" She's got another problem. " Cui Er shook her head and helplessly lowered her head to continue with the work in her hands.
Ying Ying looked at Luo Shang's somewhat doubtful expression and said: "You don't need to care about her. Her name is Pei Yun, and she has been in the kitchen since a long time ago. The better you treat her, the more ungrateful she becomes. "
"Yingying!" Cui'er, who was at the side, frowned, indicating that she should stop talking.
Ying Ying gave a stuffy snort, raised her eyebrows, and whispered into Luo Shang's ear. This person's brain isn't very good, just stay away from her. "
"Yingying, didn't I tell you not to say anymore?"
"Fine, fine, fine. I won't say anything else …"
"…"
Luo Shang watched as the skinny figure walked further and further away with the bucket filled with bones. She felt a little uneasy in her heart.
