While chatting here, the hot pot ingredients are almost ready over there.
Xiao Xixi ordered her servants to set up several tables in the hall, and then placed a charcoal-fired copper pot on each table, and then cooked the vegetables.
I specifically asked the cooks to cut the meat very thin and rinse it before it is cooked.
Xiao Xixi asked Yihui to call a few familiar people and sit at the same table with her.
After sitting down, Xiao Xixi asked them to introduce themselves.
Then she heard these words——
"My name is Magpie. I have been in the government for four years and I am sixteen years old this year."
"My name is Bai Ling. I have been in the government for four years and I am eighteen years old this year."
"My name is Du Juan. I have been in the government for four years and I am eighteen years old this year."
"My name is Huamei. I have been in the government for four years and I am eighteen years old this year."
…
At first, Xiao Xixi didn't think it was anything. After listening to it for a few times, she realized that except for Yihui, they were all bird names.
It wasn't until everyone's names were heard that Xiao Xixi confirmed her guess.
A real house full of birds...
She asked Yihui curiously: "Where do all your names come from?"
Yihui replied: "Except for me, everyone else's names were given by the prince."
Xiao Xixi nodded, which also showed that Yihui's status was extraordinary, otherwise the original name would not have been retained.
It's just...didn't you realize that Leng Moran likes birds so much?
Or is it because he couldn't see before that he thinks these women are just like birds?
The voices of several female family members chatting and laughing on the table next to her came, and for a moment, Xiao Xixi seemed to hear the chirping of birds.
She realized it!
But she didn't think that now that Leng Moran could see, she still thought these people were like birds.
After the meal, the female relatives left. Xiao Xixi asked Aunt Qi, who was in charge of the inner house, to call the maids. She wanted to choose the maids from her side.
Aunt Qi quickly complied. Xiao Xixi looked at the maid she brought over and couldn't help but frown.
"What are you dissatisfied with, Princess?"
After asking, Aunt Qi thought to herself, could it be that the princess thought it would be better to look for a few of them?
Xiao Xixi was worried that speaking out would hurt the maids' hearts, so she whispered in Aunt Qi's ear: "These don't look good."
Aunt Qi breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be like this. She deliberately chose someone with an ordinary appearance because she was afraid that the princess would find it too good-looking.
Aunt Qi said: "Only ordinary people can do things honestly."
This is true. Since ancient times, there have been many maids who want to crawl into bed, so many hostesses will not keep any good-looking ones around.
But Xiao Xixi was different. She wished Leng Moran would never think of her, but she was also afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold her thighs.
Although she has been trying to build a good relationship with the other female relatives, it may be difficult for her at this moment. Moreover, those female relatives have no status, just like the maids.
She simply selected some good-looking maids to serve around her. If she was really attracted by Leng Moran, these people would also remember her kindness.
Aunt Qi followed Xiao Xixi's instructions and selected another group. This time Xiao Xixi was very satisfied and handed the people over to Qiong Yu and asked her to arrange what errands these people would do.
…
After Yihui left Qingfengyuan, she went to Leng Moran's study.
Leng Moran was handling official duties. When he saw Yihui coming over, he thought it was Xiao Xixi who had caused trouble again.
He asked with a cold face: "What did the princess do again?"
Yi Hui waved her hands repeatedly: "I found something wrong with the princess."
"What's wrong?"
Yi Hui frowned and said, "I heard before that the princess has great martial arts skills, but just now I came into contact with the princess. I accidentally touched her pulse and found that she has no martial arts skills."
"What?" Leng Moran was startled.
He was kidnapped by Xiao Xiaoyu before because she was very strong in martial arts and she took advantage of him when he was not prepared. Now she tells him that Xiao Xiaoyu doesn't know martial arts?
Leng Moran can never believe it.
He called Feng Yan: "Let's check to see what Miss Xiao Er's martial arts level is."
Feng Yan didn't ask any further questions, bowed and left.
Yihui lowered her head, clasped her hands together, and summoned up the courage to ask: "Your Majesty, do you want me to polish the ink aside?"
Leng Moran smiled at her, and Yi Hui quickly looked away.
"Yi Hui, you are different from others. You don't have to treat yourself as a servant. Since you have nothing to do, go back and rest first."
Yihui said nothing more, bowed and left.
…
The other side of the letter quickly found out the news that Miss Xiao Er was the most talented junior in the Xiao family, and even Xiao Erlang had to step aside.
Leng Moran's frown deepened. Although Yi Hui's martial arts was not high, she could also judge the level of other people's martial arts.
No matter how high Xiao Xiaoyu's martial arts skills are, it is impossible for him to have no traces at all.
What went wrong?
Could it be that Xiao Xiaoyu actually drank the tea in the other courtyard that day and lost all her martial arts skills in order to force out the poison?
Although Leng Moran was curious, he had no intention of continuing the investigation. After all, it was much better to suddenly lose his martial arts than suddenly become stronger.
However, he still wanted to give it a try.
When Leng Moran came to Qingfeng Courtyard, Xiao Xixi was sitting in the courtyard with her head propped up, watching Qiong Yu training the newly transferred maid.
The maids all looked as green as green onions. Not to mention a man like Leng Moran, even Xiao Xixi couldn't take his eyes away.
When her servants heard that Leng Moran was coming, Xiao Xixi frowned and couldn't figure out why he was here again.
During this daze, Leng Moran had already walked in.
Xiao Xixi was about to get up when she suddenly saw a maid suddenly appear from the crowd, knelt down in front of her, and slapped her face hard twice.
Xiao Xixi didn't understand what this maid wanted to do, but she could also feel that these two slaps were hard enough.
The maid, with her red face, said in a tearful tone: "I know your mistake, please don't drive me out of the house..."
Xiao Xixi: Who is this person? When did she chase her away?
[Ding! The host triggers a random acting task, and asks the host to use his acting skills to resolve the current crisis. If the task is completed, you will be rewarded with points. If the task fails, you will be punished. 】
Xiao Xixi rolled her eyes, covered her face with a handkerchief, threw herself into Leng Moran's arms and began to cry.
The maid lying on the ground obviously burst into tears. She didn't expect Xiao Xixi to act so unconventionally.
Xiao Xixi was unexpectedly not pushed away by Leng Moran. She simply cried louder, drowning out the maid's cry.
Leng Moran supported Xiao Xixi, put his fingers on her wrist naturally, and asked warmly: "What's going on?"
Xiao Xixi was a little surprised by Leng Moran's rare gentleness, but it didn't affect her from continuing to act. She said: "I just got married, and the maid dares to bully me. How can I have the honor to stay here?"
Leng Moran glanced blankly at the maid on the ground and asked, "Why did she bully you?"
Xiao Xixi squeezed out a tear and looked up at Leng Moran pitifully: "She actually threatened me, saying that if I didn't let her be the prince's concubine, the prince would hate me. I couldn't hold it back, so I wanted to drive her away.
Out."
The maid on the ground was shaking all over, her crying was so low that she could hardly hear it, but she realized that she had been tricked by the princess!
