An Ran watched her friend disappear through the six heavy doors with her luggage, and suddenly she felt panicked. She began to wonder whether her temporary interest in letting Zhong Yuxi choose a maid was helping her or hurting her.
After all, Hou Men is as deep as the sea.
Zhong Yuxi was very busy in the following days, because she had to learn various knowledge, skills, and living etiquette from the old maids in the palace. The books compiled based on the preferences of the king and princes were as thick as a cihai. She could read
His head is as big as a wheel, and even when he sleeps he is mumbling to himself: The fourth prince likes sour or spicy food, and hates boiled fish the most...
The busy life made her feel more fulfilled than ever before. Occasionally she would accompany the king to the people to observe the people's sentiments, but most of the time she would still study.
Because she had just arrived, the scandal before entering the palace was also spread very evilly, which inevitably aroused the rejection and jealousy of the other maids, and they all had to do the dirty work on her, and she accepted them all with a good temper.
"Zhong Yuxi, send this to His Majesty."
"Zhong Yuxi, go to the kitchen to get ice cubes,"
"Zhong Yuxi, why hasn't the lawn in the backyard been cut yet?"
She responded one by one, holding a big box in her hand and hurriedly walked to the King's Cuihua Palace.
Because the box was too high, it blocked her view. When the box suddenly encountered resistance and she wanted to retreat, it was already too late. A box of documents fell to the ground with a loud thud, scattering in white.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She quickly apologized to the visitor.
The man made no sound, and the pair of black casual shoes that stood under her eyes were very clean.
She slowly raised her head and saw Xuanyuan Ye looking at her lazily, with a hint of narrowness in his slightly raised eyebrows.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
She folded her hands in front of her belly and saluted respectfully.
Xuanyuan Ye reached out and lifted her chin, and slowly approached her. She looked at the enlarged face in front of her, and was so scared that she shrank back.
"Zhong Yuxi, I am a little uncomfortable with you being so good."
Zhong Yuxi rolled her eyes and saw no one around, so she bit his hand.
He frowned and took it away, but she was already pinching her waist and smiling cheerfully: "So, have you adapted to this?"
Seeing her triumphant look, he smiled knowingly.
She had already squatted down and started to pick up the things scattered on the ground. While picking up, she said: "You are a big liar, you clearly said that you are a guard."
A slender hand stretched out and gently pressed her hand. Her movements paused and her face became hot.
She raised her head and met his eyes. The sunlight behind her cast a golden glow.
If you can look at it like this, it will be eternity in an instant, which should be a very happy thing.
"Zhong Yuxi, it doesn't matter what others say. You have to learn to use your brain."
He knocked her dull head with his hand, stood up, and left without looking back.
Zhong Yuxi looked stupidly at his back illuminated by the sun, like a white shirt coated with gold fluttering in the wind. She thought, she was different to him.
A maid shouted dissatisfiedly from a distance: "Zhong Yuxi, did you crawl here?"
She hurriedly picked up the things and promised: "It's coming, it's coming."
Two months after entering the palace, she had only seen several princes gathered together at a family banquet. None of them had changed much. Except for Liu Jin who winked at her, the other few people acted as if they didn't recognize her.
She would always look at Xuanyuan Ye a few more times every time, but his eyes were high and he just talked to His Highness the Fourth Prince beside him and did not look at her. Maybe in his eyes, she was just a passerby in a hurry and would soon be forgotten.
The king was doting on her more and more, and everyone in the palace knew it, so no one dared to bully her openly anymore, but she didn't have a single friend around her.
