For two days in a row, Xie Mingxi did not leave the door.
The smell of medicine in the room was sometimes strong and sometimes light, and never stopped.
The young and old maids in Chunjin Pavilion were full of curiosity, and those who were brave could not help but come over to inquire. Before they even got close, Congyu Fuyu opened her mouth and chased the person away without any mercy.
"Take chicken feathers as arrows!"
"Isn't that right? They are both stupid and stupid. I really don't know why the lady cares so much about her and only allows them to serve her!"
The maids' hearts were bubbling with sourness.
Especially Fangqiao, she secretly gritted her teeth with hatred. An embroidery needle poked her finger from time to time, almost breaking it.
Aunt Ding came twice a day, but was also turned away.
Wen Qi was furious and said in a low voice: "Young lady usually obeys my aunt's advice, but this time it must be Yu Fuyu's two bitchy hooves who keep blocking my aunt. My aunt can't spare them two!"
Wen Qi was the most proud person around Aunt Ding, and he was always running rampant in the Xie Mansion. However, he was repeatedly embarrassed in front of Congyu Fuyu. Fuyu, in particular, spoke so straight that it made her heart, liver, stomach and lungs ache.
How could the narrow-minded Wen Qi be willing to give up? In the past two days, he had already made several remarks in front of Aunt Ding.
Aunt Ding's eyes flickered uncertainly, and she said after a while: "We will talk about this later."
He ignored her for three days and even insulted her in front of the servants.
Xie Mingxi was really angry this time.
That's it! Just endure it for a while. After Xie Mingxi has calmed down, go and coax her.
Wen Qi felt a little disappointed in his heart, but did not dare to show it on his face, so he opened his mouth and said in a low voice: "The cook hired by the young lady from outside the house has already settled in Chunjin Pavilion. The young lady now has three meals a day.
That Ye Qiuniang is using the spoon. Should I call her over and ask her carefully?"
Mentioning this matter, Aunt Ding frowned: "That's fine. You go to Chunjin Pavilion and bring Ye Qiuniang."
After a cup of tea, Wen Qi came back alone with a face full of shame and anger: "Ye Qiuniang said that the lady paid a lot of money to invite her to come into the house. She is only responsible for serving the lady. Everything in the house has nothing to do with her. If she wants to terminate the contract, she can only
Miss has this qualification."
Aunt Ding: "..."
…
When Xie Mingxi left the room, the first news she heard was that Ye Qiuniang had rudely kicked Wen Qi away.
Xie Mingxi laughed dumbly and glanced over.
Ye Qiuniang has a slim figure and pretty appearance. At this moment, she stands upright with clear eyes.
"You offended the maid next to my aunt as soon as you came here. Aren't you afraid that she will deliberately make things difficult for you in the future?" Xie Mingxi asked casually with a smile.
Ye Qiuniang responded calmly: "I'm not a servant of the Xie Mansion, so why should I be afraid!"
People with excellent cooking skills do have the right to be proud.
Ye Qiuniang's biological father once served as the royal cook in the palace and had excellent cooking skills. However, he was too upright and was framed by others. He was kicked out of the palace on charges. In anger, she fell ill and returned to the west. Ye Qiuniang inherited her father's cooking skills.
, this stubborn and stubborn temper has also been inherited.
It is precisely this kind of strong temper that gives him the courage to make a move that will destroy both the stone and the stone!
In the past two days, with Ye Qiuniang, Xie Mingxi's extremely picky tongue was greatly comforted. She was a little more tolerant to Ye Qiuniang, and said with a smile: "I will go to the princess's mansion later. You go with me."
"
Ye Qiuniang is not blindly unruly. Xie Mingxi's attitude is gentle, and she also becomes respectful: "Young lady paid a lot of money to hire me as the chef, and I will stay by your side."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cong Yu hurried in and reported: "Miss, people from the princess's mansion have arrived."
Xie Mingxi's expression remained unchanged and she nodded slightly.
…
The person who came to pick up Xie Mingxi was Diancui, the maid of Princess Yongning.
Dian Cui is white and charming, with longing eyes, revealing an unconscious enchanting charm: "This servant is ordered by the princess to welcome the third lady into the princess's mansion."
Xie Mingxi hummed and her eyes paused for a moment on Dian Cui's pretty face.
Dian Cui's smile did not diminish, but she felt a little inexplicably uncomfortable.
She is the personal maid of Princess Yongning, and is certainly no stranger to the gentle and gentle Third Miss. For some reason, in just a few days, the Third Miss seems to have quietly changed into a different person. Her bright eyes seem to be able to penetrate people's hearts and see into her heart.
All the dark secrets...
Fortunately, Xie Mingxi quickly looked away.
Dian Cui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Aunt Ding heard the news and came to see her off.
In front of everyone, Aunt Ding held Xie Mingxi's hand and earnestly warned: "... Ming Niang, when you arrive at the princess's mansion, you must be careful in your words and deeds. Don't speak nonsense and anger the princess."
This is because she is worried that she will offend Princess Yongning and "impair" her brother Xie Yuanting.
Xie Mingxi was stunned and responded with a hint of sarcasm: "What is lying? Auntie, you might as well make it clear!"
Aunt Ding: "..."
Aunt Ding did not expect that Xie Mingxi would embarrass herself in front of all the servants.
Her eyes turned red and she was about to cry when Xie Mingxi turned around and got on the carriage.
…
Half an hour later.
The carriage stopped outside the gate of Princess Yongning's mansion.
Xie Mingxi got off the carriage and glanced around.
The main door is not open, only the side door is opened.
Before Xie Mingxi could give instructions, Fuyu opened her mouth and said to Diancui, "Miss, you only enter and exit through the front door."
Diancui: "..."
Xie Mingxi raised her lips slightly and glanced at Fuyu approvingly.
Fuyu straightened her waist straighter and continued confidently: "Sister Diancui, please tell the concierge to open the front door as soon as possible, so as not to delay the time when the young lady pays respects to the princess."
Diancui is the most useful maid around Princess Yongning, even surpassing Yaobi. Usually any little maid who sees her has to respectfully and flatteringly call her "Sister Diancui". Today, she was humiliated by Fuyu.
Zhang's pretty face turned red quietly, and a hint of embarrassment flashed through her almond-shaped eyes.
"Third Miss," Dian Cui held back her anger and said respectfully, "It's not that I mean to make things difficult. It's just that the main door of the mansion is rarely opened on weekdays, and most people enter and exit through the side door."
Xie Mingxi smiled faintly: "You, a slave, really can't be the master of this kind of thing."
Diancui: "..."
Diancui was choked so much that her breath was stuck in her throat, unable to come out and swallow.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded behind him.
Diancui's eyebrows suddenly widened, and she looked at Xie Mingxi with a hint of pride: "Second Miss learned that Third Miss was coming to the Princess's Mansion today, so she came back from Huainan Prince's Mansion specially."
When mentioning the Huainan Palace, Diancui's face showed pride, and his tone revealed a sense of superiority.
As a master, having a quarrel with a slave really feels like you are degrading yourself.
However, Xie Mingxi didn't mind this. She smiled slowly and asked: "You are so familiar with Huainan Palace, could it be that you also came from Huainan Palace?"
Diancui suddenly blushed.
Yao Bi was born in a serious family. Both his parents were the concubines of Princess Yongning. It is not an exaggeration to say that he came from the Huainan Prince's Palace.
And she was sold as a slave since she was a child. Because of her good looks, she was selected by Princess Yongning and entered the mansion of Princess Yongning when she was fourteen. She owes everything she has to this day to the "favor" of Princess Yongning.
.
It is said that you should not slap someone in the face when you hit him, and you should not expose your shortcomings when you scold someone.
The third lady opened her mouth, uncovered her shortcomings, and scratched her face.
Xie Mingxi had no intention of looking at the embarrassed and angry Dian Cui anymore, and glanced towards the direction of the carriage. At this glance, her eyes suddenly turned cold.
…
The gorgeous carriage marking the Huainan Prince's Mansion slowly approached.
In front of the carriage are two horses.
One of the horses is a yellow horse. Xie Yuanting, dressed in a sky-blue brocade robe, is riding the horse, with a handsome face full of high spirits.
Another black horse was even more impressive, and a handsome young man in a crimson brocade robe rode up.
The young man is about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a tall and straight figure. Under his thick eyebrows, his slightly narrow phoenix eyes are smiling, and the corners of his mouth are raised, making people look at him and be fond of him.
Xie Yuanting is already one of the most handsome young men in the world. This young man in crimson clothes is not inferior to Xie Yuanting in any way. He is more confident and calm than him.
This young man is the direct grandson of the eldest son of the Prince of Huainan, the direct nephew of Princess Yongning, and the brother of Sheng Jinyue's mother.
