Zhiqin, an older girl, blushed when she heard this and scolded them: "Stop chewing your tongue. If word spreads, it will cause trouble for the prince."
The cook laughed and said, "Miss Zhiqin, are you shy? What trouble can it cause? The news has spread all over the capital. Everyone is talking about it. Those teahouse storytellers have compiled scripts and are talking about it. It's really lively."
Zhiqin said: "That won't work either. Just do your errands. If you delay the Crown Princess's meal, don't blame me for not reminding you."
The cook winked and said, "Miss Zhiqin, are you the only maid in our imperial concubine?"
"What's wrong? What I did wasn't good enough?"
The cook's expression was ambiguous: "It's really not good enough. You see, the Crown Princess has been pregnant for so long, and the Crown Prince doesn't even have a wife. The Crown Princess doesn't even mention that she raised you to be her aunt. You are not young at this age, so you have to be the Crown Princess."
To share the worries.
Don’t blame me for not reminding you, men are restless. If you can’t get it at home, you have to go out to eat wild food. If you want to win over a man, you have to sacrifice your face..."
"Shut up, you're full of shit. What are you talking about?"
Zhiqin didn't expect that she would dare to say this. She had never thought about being the prince's aunt, let alone how close the prince and the eldest daughter were. She was crazy to dare to think about the prince.
These big-mouthed ladies are really getting more and more arrogant.
Zhiqin's face turned red with anger: "You see that the Crown Princess is about to give birth and you can't care about you anymore, right? You are becoming more and more lax in your work. Look, I will tell the princess that you will reap the benefits!"
The cook quickly begged for mercy: "Miss Zhiqin, I was wrong. Don't tell the princess that our whole family is relying on my work to eat."
"You know your errand is important, so you should be careful in your words and deeds. Do you know what the consequences will be if you make random arrangements for your master?
Aunt Xu, I will remember you. If any gossip is spread in this courtyard from now on, it will make the Crown Princess angry, and you and your family will not be able to escape."
The cook's face also turned pale. She really knew that she was wrong. They usually talked nonsense behind their backs, but today they were so confused by lard that they actually told Zhiqin this. She was really big-mouthed and harmful to others.
He slapped himself hard: "Miss Zhiqin, I really know that I was wrong. You must never tell the Crown Princess!"
"Now that I know I'm afraid, you dare to tell me today that you must have been chewing your tongue a lot in the past. It's because you need to be taught a lesson. Let me see how you behave."
Zhiqin walked away angrily, and everyone in the kitchen didn't dare to talk and started working faster.
Xu Zhiyong came to bring snacks to Wen Yao. The Crown Prince was patrolling the streets and came across the snacks that the Crown Princess loved to eat. As soon as they came out of the pot, he sent them back.
As soon as I left the yard, I saw Zhiqin coming back with red eyes. Did someone make her angry?
"Sister Zhiqin, who bullied you?"
"It's okay, Sha Sha narrowed his eyes. Is the Crown Prince back?"
Xu Zhiyong said: "No, you sent me to deliver something. I saw you were in luck, so I brought you a portion. You can eat it too."
He took out a paper bag from his arms. There were not many things, but it was a token of his gratitude that he could remember her. This was not the first time that this happened. Every time there was a young lady, Xu Zhiyong would remember it for himself.
Zhiqin looked at him deeply, and Xu Zhiyong's scalp went numb when she looked at him: "Take it, I have to go on an errand, I can't stay long."
"Xu Zhiyong, why did you bring me something to eat? I have never given you money, why are you so nice to me?"
Xu Zhiyong stuttered: "Here, do you need a reason for this? By the way, I paid the bill to the prince, so I don't have to spend money myself."
Zhiqin was a little disappointed: "Well, I thought you were interested in me, but I misunderstood. In this case, don't take her with you in the future, lest my future husband misunderstands."
Xu Zhiyong suddenly exploded: "Your future husband? Who is it? No, Zhiqin, are you going to get married? Why haven't I heard you say it?"
Zhiqin said: "I haven't chosen yet, but I will be one soon. Why should I tell you when I get married? You are not me."
"No, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is that I want to get married. I used to want to accompany the eldest lady, serve the eldest lady well, and serve the young master. But today I changed my mind. When I choose the person, I will treat you to a wedding banquet."
Xu Zhiyong was pleasantly surprised: "Since you haven't made a good choice, do you think I can do it?"
Zhiqin's face was expressionless: "Don't force it. You are the prince's close guard and you still have an official position in the court. I, a maid, am not worthy of you."
"I like you, and that's enough, Zhiqin. My heart beat faster when I first saw you. I can't tolerate anyone else except you. All I think about is you. Please marry me, okay?"
Zhiqin blushed with embarrassment: "Didn't you just say you didn't mean anything to me?"
"I'm timid and don't dare to speak, for fear of your rejection."
Xu Zhiyong finally said it, sweating anxiously. He knew that if he didn't say it, he would miss it and regret it for the rest of his life.
Gan!
If a grown man dares not express his feelings, what kind of man is he?
Zhiqin took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat: "Since you don't dislike me, what about your family? If your family doesn't agree, I won't wrong myself. At worst, I will find someone who has no father or mother. Anyway, my monthly salary is enough.
He has to support his family, so he still has to listen to me."
Xu Zhiyong's face turned red with excitement. Zhiqin wiped my sweat and smiled like a fool.
"Hurry up and go on errands. Don't keep the prince waiting. If there are no problems in your family, let them propose marriage."
"Hey, okay, just wait for my good news."
Zhiqin didn't expect that she would make a lifelong decision so quickly. Maybe she knew Xu Zhiyong's thoughts and was just deceiving herself.
Now it's not a bad idea to pierce the window paper. Now that she's married, there won't be so much gossip.
Xu Zhiyong is the crown prince's bodyguard. They are getting married and they will not delay their respective duties. The only thing he is worried about now is the attitude of his family.
Wen Yao saw Zhiqin go out for a trip, and when he came back, he looked like a different person. His expression changed unpredictably, which was very exciting.
"What's wrong with you?"
Zhiqin coughed and said, "I'm going to marry Xu Zhiyong."
Wen Yao was very calm, as if she had expected it: "I figured it out, I should have gotten married a long time ago, wasted time, if I had married earlier, our children would be born together now."
Zhiqin's eyes widened: "Miss, how did you know that I would marry him? Even if I get married, I will not have children with the lady. Who will serve you and the young master?"
Wen Yao: "As for the mystery of your authority, Xu Zhiyong, the fool, didn't dare to tell you. Huahua and I both made a bet to see when you two could achieve enlightenment. It was quite sudden. I lost. I thought you would win."
It took two or three years."
Yuanhua thinks it will happen this year, but even if it doesn't happen, she still has to get it together and win Yaoyao.
Zhiqin is speechless, what boring things do you and Miss Yuan do together.
