Having made up his mind, Du Wei quickly opened the window with one hand. With a strong finger, the window lock inside broke silently. He jumped and fell into the house. He also closed the window smoothly.
This series of movements was extremely fast, taking only one second to complete.
And when his footsteps landed, the girl in the room seemed to have not yet realized who it was. She saw a figure rushing in from her window like lightning in the middle of the night, and it was so silent that she was always stunned.
A few seconds.
Under the candlelight in the room, Du Wei saw the girl's appearance clearly. She was about twenty years old, with long brown-black hair and a plain white nightgown. She was sitting cross-legged on a chair in front of the window with her bare feet and one hand.
Wu Zi supported his chin, his face was very pretty, upright, and his facial features were very delicate. But at this moment, he was staring at Du Wei, but his mouth seemed to be slightly open, as if he was in shock.
And she was wearing a plain white nightgown. Because she was dressed in her own private room, she was very casual. Even the top two buttons of the collar on her chest were not turned on, revealing a touching touch of snow-white on her chest...
Du Wei was stunned when he saw it, and the other party was also stunned. For a moment, Du Wei even forgot to take action...
It's not that Du Wei was dumbfounded when he saw the girl's short dress, it was actually that he recognized this girl.
This girl was none other than the palace lady who took care of little Princess Karina. Du Wei clearly remembered that this girl's name should be: Lanlan.
When he first became a disciple, it was this girl who blocked his way in the palace and asked for the initiation ceremony of becoming a disciple on behalf of the little princess and little Prince Charles.
Moreover, during the few months when Du Wei served as the teacher of the two little boys, every time he came to the palace to teach the two little boys, this beautiful female official named Lanlan was always waiting beside him, serving tea and water, and preparing meals before meals.
Later, the service was very meticulous, and many times, when Du Wei was giving lectures to the two little guys, the female officer named Lanlan never left. She also stood by and listened. Over time, she did not seem like a
The palace maid seemed to be Du Wei's third student.
This girl is very smart and has a quick understanding of reading. Many times, when Du Wei is giving lectures, there are some questions. Neither of the two little guys can understand them immediately, but this girl has an expression on her face as if she has understood.
, let Du Wei secretly keep it in mind. Although Princess Karina is smart, her vision is limited due to her age and living in the palace since she was a child. For many questions, she has to ask this Lan Lan for advice.
Over time, Du Wei became familiar with the relationship with the female official named Lanlan. He knew that this female official named Lanlan was a "palace clan" in the family for generations. The so-called palace clan refers to the ancient people in the family who have served the royal family for generations.
Families, these families may not be prominent, but whenever the royal family selects palace guards or personal servants in the palace, they will choose from such families. Just because these families who have served the royal family for generations are loyal and reliable, and they are easy to use.
rest assured.
For example, the Lanlan in front of her, her mother and father were both guards and female officials in the palace, her grandfather was also a member of the Imperial Guard, and her great-great-grandfather even served as an etiquette teacher for Emperor Augustine VI!
When Du Wei was in class before, this Lanlan respected him very much. That kind of respect was not the usual flattery of a palace servant. Du Wei could feel it. This girl seemed to be
As the class time went on for a long time, I admired myself from the bottom of my heart. The look of admiration in my eyes was genuine.
Moreover, she has a gentle and delicate temperament. She is a very quiet girl.
During class on weekdays, if she is thirsty, she will immediately take the initiative to bring a cup of warm tea. If she is hungry, she will take the initiative to ask other palace servants to bring snacks. Moreover, she is the female official responsible for taking care of the little princess Karina, so she can
It is said that little Karina has been taken care of by her since she can remember, and her relationship with her is like a sister and a mother and daughter.
Just like... just like me and the old housekeeper Mad.
Thinking of this, Du Wei originally raised his hand and was about to knock the girl unconscious with a palm, but at this moment, he saw that she was an old acquaintance with a very good relationship. How could he have the nerve to hit her with this hand?
He was very respectful to me, served him tea and water, and humbly asked for advice like a student for several months. Although Du Wei was not soft-hearted, he was also a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Duke?!" Lan Lan finally reacted, staring at Du Wei, and it took a long time to squeeze out a few words from her mouth.
Du Wei immediately sighed. What bad luck? It seemed that he really didn't have the talent to be a thief. Since he was entering the imperial city at night and was wearing black night clothes, why did he forget to mask up! Stupid!
Now it's good, the other party has recognized her, even if she is knocked unconscious, it will be of no use unless she is willing to kill someone and silence her, and do that dangerous thing.
At this time, not far away, a group of Imperial Guardsmen walked slowly by, their leather boots making an owl sound when they trampled on the ground, and there was also the clanking sound of armors clashing as they walked.
Du Wei's expression was solemn, he stared at Lan Lan, and raised his fingers gently. As long as Lan Lan dared to show the slightest intention of shouting, Du Wei would immediately stun her with one finger.
Lanlan's breathing was a little rapid. At this midnight, the person who broke into her room was actually the young Tulip Duke. She didn't know what was going on in her mind for a moment, but suddenly her face gradually turned pale.
A hint of flush appeared.
Finally, after catching a glimpse of Du Wei's nervous look, Lanlan bit her lip, lowered her voice, and her voice seemed a little twisted: "Don't worry, I won't scream."
As she said that, her face turned red again, but she suddenly lowered her head and saw her loose clothes, and her face became even more shy. She quickly turned around to button up the buttons, then took two steps back and looked at Du Wei: "You...
Why did you come to my room in the middle of the night?"
The last sentence "What are you doing?" was said in a soft voice, inaudible, but he subconsciously twisted the corners of his clothes with his fingers...
When Du Wei saw it, he immediately realized that it was troublesome. People had misunderstood.
I'm afraid I thought I was climbing over the wall and touching the girl's window in the middle of the night to steal the beauty!
Du Wei's expression was a bit sarcastic. He didn't know what to say, but he heard Semel's heavy hum of dissatisfaction coming from the depths of his mind.
Then he smiled bitterly: "Sorry, I didn't mean to come to your room. I didn't know this was your residence."
When Lan Lan heard this, her face suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but there seemed to be a hint of disappointment in her eyes. However, she was also a quiet and delicate girl. She pondered for a moment and then laughed in a low voice.
: "Well, I wonder if the Duke climbed up the window in the middle of the night. Originally, he wanted to see any of the other little sisters here? I never knew. The Duke is still such a romantic person."
"I...I'm not looking for a girl tonight." Du Wei's tone was even more helpless, but the words became more and more ambiguous. He could only cough and try to keep a straight face: "I'm here for something else."
Important things."
I hesitated for a moment, then gritted my teeth. I decided not to worry about it and knocked her unconscious first.
But as soon as he took a step forward, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door, followed by several gentle knocks on the door. Those footsteps were obviously not from a person!
Damn it!
Du Wei was filled with hatred. He didn't want to go on a killing spree in the palace. He turned to look at the window and was about to exit from there.
"You, wait a minute." Lanlan looked at Du Wei's movements and suddenly whispered: "You... don't worry, hide first!"
With that said, he strode to the closet and opened the door: "Go in quickly." He gritted his teeth again. It seemed that after a slight struggle, he said decisively: "Don't worry, I will never tell you."
Du Wei hesitated for a moment, he even got into the smelly ditch tonight, and he was really unwilling to go back like this, so he could only think hard and dive into the closet.
Then Lanlan closed the wardrobe, approved another robe, and ran to open the door.
Du Wei hid in the closet. As the personal maid of the little princess Karina in the palace, Lan Lan naturally received a high salary. The house she lived in was very big, and the closet was not small. But no matter how big a girl’s closet was, Du Wei
It was really a bit of a squeeze for such a big man to get in.
Moreover, after Du Wei got in, he felt that soft girls' clothes were everywhere on both sides of him, with a faint smell of women's incense on them. What made Du Wei even more embarrassed was that
, many of them were probably girls' undergarments, but now he got into them.
There was a slight gap in the closet door, and Du Wei looked out from inside.
After Lanlan opened the door, she heard the voice of a young girl outside, but she didn't come in. She just smiled outside the door and said: "Sister Lanlan, I guessed it right, you didn't come in tonight."
sleep."
Lanlan's voice sounded very calm, and she smiled calmly: "Why did you come to me in the middle of the night?"
The girl outside the door was probably another palace maid, and she said with a smile: "I just finished my shift and was about to go back to rest. On the way back, I met that guy Kip leading the imperial guardsmen on patrol. That guy Kip immediately
He stopped me and begged me wholeheartedly to find out whether you had read the letter he wrote to you a few days ago. That guy was very anxious. No, I had no choice but to run away now.
I’m here to ask you.”
Lanlan coughed: "You knocked on my door in the middle of the night just to ask about this kind of thing!"
"I know you always have the habit of going to bed late. I came outside to see you with the light on the window. Oh, if nothing else, I can tell you that Chip is outside in the garden right now. This guy
It seems that he really likes you. He became a cavalry commander at a young age. I heard that he will be promoted to deputy commander within this year. He likes you so much that he stood in the garden in the middle of the night and just begged me to come.
Let me tell you...if, if you read that letter and are willing, go out and see him now."
After a while, probably because Lanlan didn't say anything, the palace maid outside probably got some benefits from that Qip, so she tried her best to persuade Lan Lan: "Why are you hesitating? Qip is young and promising, and his family background is good.
He is the youngest officer in the Royal Guards. I think he is a good match for you. I heard that he is not usually a womanizer, but he secretly falls in love with you and will never forget you."
Lan Lan became angrier as she listened, probably because of this kind of thing, and she was secretly unwilling to let the person hiding behind her in the closet hear it.
Immediately he stamped his feet and said angrily: "Stop talking! In the middle of the night, he wanted to invite me out to meet, but he couldn't do it. You actually came to knock on my door like this! I think that Qip usually
You are pretty steady in your work, but why today... Huh! Go out and tell him to let him go, I'm going to sleep!"
After saying that, he ignored the maid outside and immediately closed the door.
The people outside were anxious, but they blocked the door and said anxiously: "Sister Lan Lan! Even if you don't think about anything else, you have to think about yourself! You are the princess's personal officer. According to convention, you have to
When the princess becomes an adult and gets married, she will marry with her. Now the princess is still young, and it will take seven or eight years for her to grow up and get married! As women, our youth only lasts a few years.
Seven or eight years later, you will be almost thirty years old. Who will you go to at that time? If the husband of the princess randomly marries you to some old servant or housekeeper in the future, your life will be ruined.
.Now Chip is very trusted by the higher-ups, and his weight is important enough. If you follow him, then maybe if he intercedes with Chief Guard Qike one day, and the regent will be merciful... the little princess will fall in love with you again.
That's good, you don't have to hang around and waste your youth."
