Li Xiaonan is still in the same car as Wan Qing.
After getting in the car, Li Xiaonan stretched out her arms and lifted up the car curtain.
Wan Qing saw that her arms were motionless, and she became curious, "What are you doing?"
"We have to prevent anyone from eavesdropping on our conversation." Li Xiaonan put her eyes on the gap and looked out for Gu Yan.
Wan Qing looked at Li Xiaonan like a fool, "Who would eavesdrop on our conversation? Who dares?"
"Who do you think dares?" Li Xiaonan glanced sideways at Wan Qing.
"Is there anyone... What do you mean by this?" Wan Qing pointed at Li Xiaonan, "You mean our prince..."
"Where is your prince? Why can't I find him?" Li Xiaonan stretched her head out.
"Come back!" Wan Qing pulled Li Xiaonan back, "Don't be so probing and unruly! Can you spy on the master's whereabouts?"
"He is your master, not mine!" Li Xiaonan slapped Wan Qing away and simply leaned out half of her body, craning her neck to look around.
"What are you looking at?" Beside the car, Gu Yan squinted at Li Xiaonan.
"You are here." Li Xiaonan leaned over to Gu Yan to see how far his horse was from the cart.
Gu Yan glanced sideways at Li Xiaonan without saying a word.
Li Xiaonan measured the distance and breathed a sigh of relief. At this distance, as long as she and Wan Qing didn't speak loudly, he would definitely not be able to hear her.
Li Xiaonan shrank back, sat in the middle, put her feet between the two curtains, looked at Wan Qing, who was looking at her with a speechless expression, and pointed to the outside of the car, "Here, let's keep our voices down, he won't be able to hear."
Arrive."
"The prince is not that kind of person!" Wan Qing said angrily.
Li Xiaonan glanced sideways at Wan Qing and snorted.
It’s better not to tell this idiot about the prince’s eavesdropping last time, otherwise she will be unable to sleep for several nights.
"When did you start working as an errand like this? When will you be working as an errand for the rest of your life?" Li Xiaonan chatted with Wan Qing.
"The rules in our house are strict. Children like ours start school at the age of six, study half the day and learn rules the other half. After a year, they start learning crafts. When they are nine years old, they start working as errands with their sisters. When they are twelve years old, they choose one.
Returning means officially returning to work as a errand somewhere."
"You started working as an errand when you were twelve years old? Do you get paid?" Li Xiaonan looked at Wan Qing sympathetically.
"I don't have it. Didn't I tell you that I want to be a steward. You need to study for two more years to be a steward. You don't start selecting until you are fourteen. If you are selected, you will be an apprentice with the past. I am an apprentice with my aunt.
."
"How old are you this year? You have been apprenticed with your aunt, why are you here again?" Li Xiaonan pointed in the direction of Gu Yan.
"Didn't I tell you, I was asked to come by our prince!" Wan Qing looked troubled.
"Then can you still go back?" Li Xiaonan looked at Wan Qing with great sympathy.
Alas, the gap from a single-handed outside manager to a eldest girl is not just a small one!
"I was going back, just because of your right hand!" Wan Qing lamented.
"Then is there any other way? I beg your noble family?"
"You have a bad idea!" Wan Qing rudely spat on Li Xiaonan's face, "That's our prince! It's such an honor to be chosen to serve by our prince's side, and it was named by the prince himself! What an honor it is! I
Tell our prince, I don’t want to serve you. Please let me go back. Am I losing my mind and going crazy?”
"Hey! Do you want to serve your prince, or not?" Li Xiaonan was confused.
"Of course I don't want to, but it would be a great honor to choose the prince's side! I can't explain it to you!"
"Oh~" Li Xiaonan trailed off, "I understand, just like your Ahu, in your heart, Ahu must be more important than your son-in-law, but you can't say this, is this what you mean?"
"No! The Crown Prince must be more important than Ahu!" Wan Qing almost jumped up.
"Okay, okay, I understand. How about I talk to your eldest son for you?" Li Xiaonan suggested.
"No! The prince sent me back. That's called deposing. Do you understand deposing? I will never get a good job again. Maybe I will never get a job again, and maybe our family will be implicated."
People, don’t talk nonsense and it won’t help!” Wan Qing warned Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan sighed. As a migrant worker who slapped the table at her boss and resigned when she said she wanted to, she really couldn't understand Wan Qing's situation of having a child at home.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about other things. Have you returned to Kunshan County to celebrate the New Year? Is it hot and lively? Let me tell you, our house is very lively during the New Year this year!
"From the time when the prince returned home to when he set off on the first lunar month, it was one month and eight days. How many flower-viewing parties were held at our house?" Wan Qing said with a gossipy face.
"How many games?" Li Xiaonan stretched her head forward.
"Sixteen games!"
"Why do so many things happen? What kind of flowers do you enjoy? In such a cold place in the capital, there are so many flowers in the winter?" Li Xiaonan thought about the location in the capital. What kind of flowers can there be in the winter? In other words, daffodils?
"You just use flower viewing as an excuse. Do you think it's really flower viewing? Well! It's also flower viewing. It's for our prince to appreciate flowers." Wan Qing chuckled.
"Beauty pageant?" Li Xiaonan responded very quickly.
"No!" Wan Qing said a denial followed by an affirmation, "You can't say no, it's still a beauty pageant.
"Our prince originally made an appointment to marry the eldest daughter of the Shi family. She was childhood sweethearts with our prince. Mrs. Shi is very good-looking, well-educated, good-tempered, and has good character. She is good at everything. But in the twelfth lunar month of the year before last, our prince..." Wan Qing leaned into Li Xiaonan's ear and said, "Just like Shi Gun said, I have a convulsion!
"If we have to break off the engagement, our prince has been insisting on it since he was a child, and he did so right away. Our prince is already twenty-two this year!"
Wan Qing shook her two fingers.
"How anxious do you think our princess must be!
"I heard that since June and July last year, our princess has been asking around for any young ladies who are not engaged, and writing letters everywhere inviting them to come to the capital to see the lanterns and flowers.
"Shi Gun said that there are more young ladies than lanterns in the capital this year." Wan Qing covered her mouth and laughed.
"Have you chosen your prince yet?" Li Xiaonan also laughed non-stop.
"Shi Gun said that our Crown Prince didn't even look at her! I'm telling you." Wan Qing came closer to Li Xiaonan, "Shi Gun said that he felt that our Crown Prince was at odds with Mrs. Shi, and he didn't really break off the engagement, you know.
Well, last year, when our prince just arrived here, Miss Shi Da also came, and later they returned to the capital together."
"The young couple had a quarrel!" Li Xiaonan concluded.
"That's right! It was just a young couple quarreling!" Wan Qing nodded.
"Why are you quarreling? If you have to quarrel to break off the engagement, then the quarrel will be quite serious." Li Xiaonan was very interested.
"Then I don't know, and Shi Gun doesn't know either. They all write letters, one to me. People like us, the Crown Prince, are all about keeping their emotions and anger invisible. Whether he is happy or angry, you can't
Let you see it."
"You really can't tell?" Li Xiaonan was surprised. It was obvious whether the prince was happy or angry.
"Of course it's a lie. If you really can't tell, then why are you still serving as a waiter? Shi Gun said that he could tell whether the prince was happy or unhappy just by taking a glance at him." Wan Qing smiled.
Li Xiaonan covered her mouth and laughed while leaning forward and back.
