It was very quiet when I was painting, and Ming Yue was also very quiet when she stood by the tree. If you don't look carefully, it seems that only Yu Xijiao is there.
The bright moon is not the focus, the focus is Yu Xijiao.
While I was looking at it carefully and drawing, there was only the sound of the breeze blowing around me. The paper was pressed down by the paper, and it was only slightly warped, but it didn't have much impact.
In the midst of silence, a maid walked slowly, holding a tray, with light steps and almost no sound.
A cup of tea on a tray.
Yu Xijiao, who was immersed in painting, didn't notice it, but Mingyue did. She raised her eyes and didn't care. They should have brought tea.
The maid came closer, and Yu Xijiaoyou didn't realize it. She was still admiring the flowers attentively. She put down the pen in her hand, painted carefully, and selected the most suitable leaves and flower branches.
Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound from behind the bushes on the right front, and Yu Xijiao's hand trembled in surprise. Fortunately, her pen had not fallen down yet. She hurriedly lifted the pen and bumped her right elbow back hard, a sudden collision.
When something happened, Yu Xijiao only had time to take a few steps back, panicking and panicking, and running around in a hurry.
He barely avoided the tea cup that fell from the tray.
Mingyue stepped forward quickly, stretched out her hand to support Yu Xijiao: "Girl, are you okay?"
Yu Xi Jiao retreated relatively quickly, but even so, her shoes still felt wet, and the tea cup fell to her feet, breaking a hole and causing the tea to splash.
The maid who delivered the tea knelt down with a plop, her face immediately turned pale, and her voice trembled: "Miss Yu... slave... spare slave."
Yu Xijiao looked at the table.
The painting on the table had long been stained. Her hand bumped into the maid's tea cup, and the pen in her hand fell. The painting she had just painted was stained and turned black.
"Girl, your sleeves are also dirty." Mingyue's sharp eyes spotted a piece of ink on the sleeve of Yu Xijiao's right hand.
"Go and see...what's going on." Yu Xijiao turned her eyes to her sleeves and ordered.
Mingyue glared at the maid angrily and looked behind the bushes in front of her on the left.
There was a woman lying on the ground behind the bushes, holding her waist and crying out in pain. She looked really bad, and she hadn't gotten up for a long time. There were still a few uneven branches on the ground, and a broom, which was not used when cleaning.
Be careful to trip and fall.
It looks like an accident.
"Help me." The mother-in-law was overjoyed when she saw Mingyue. She put one hand on her waist and said.
Mingyue looked at the woman quietly, turned around and left.
"Hey...hey...you..." The mother-in-law stretched out her hand behind her, but she didn't expect that Mingyue would ignore her. Even if she asked more, it was appropriate, and she didn't ask anyway.
"Girl, a rough old woman fell." Ming Yue said, a trace of ridicule flashed in her eyes. This old woman had been here for a while and had been paying attention to her girl. Now she suddenly fell. If there is anything in this
It's okay, Mingyue will definitely not believe it.
Yu Xi shook her sleeves delicately, and a few black marks slid down from the ink.
Liu frowned slightly, she couldn't see anyone like this, and then looked at the maid kneeling on the ground. She was the person next to the seventh princess, and she couldn't overstep her duties.
But I can no longer draw it like this.
"Our girl's clothes are dirty." Mingyue said angrily.
"There are...there are clothes. The princess has prepared some new clothes in the guest room. In the future, when it is inconvenient for the family members to come to the house, you can change them. I will go and get them now."
The maid kept saying, for fear that she would be scolded by Yu Xijiao if she spoke too late, so it would be best if this matter was suppressed like this.
"Have you prepared your clothes?" Yu Xijiao raised her eyes and asked.
"Yes, they are all new and have been prepared. The palace is not completely ready yet. The seventh princess has not held a banquet yet, so the clothes have been prepared in the guest room. The girl can go with the slaves. You can choose a piece of clothes by yourself.
." The maid said hurriedly, just thinking about making up for the mistake.
You can't hide things, but you have to deal with the matter before Yu Xijiao gets angry. Even if there will be scolding afterwards, the matter must have been made up for.
The maid looked at Yu Xijiao with tears in her eyes, her face full of begging.
Any guest who comes to the house for the first time and encounters such a thing must agree that this is the seventh princess's mansion after all. As long as he does not deliberately go against the seventh princess, this matter must be reduced to a big deal and a trivial matter.
Yu Xijiao moved her feet. The toes were wet and very uncomfortable.
"Where are the shoes? Do you have any shoes?" Mingyue understood immediately.
"Yes... there are shoes, and there are shoes." The maid understood. She lowered her eyes and saw Yu Xijiao's discomfort, her toes twitching slightly under her skirt.
Fortunately, it was only slightly wet and the tea was not very hot, otherwise it would not be as simple as just changing shoes.
"Let's go!" Yu Xijiao said.
The maid hurriedly got up, wiped her tears and started to lead the way.
"Wait a minute." Mingyue stopped the maid who wanted to take advantage of the crime, pointed at the table, and raised her chin slightly, "What should I do with these?"
"Don't worry, girl, I will come and take care of you shortly." The maid kept saying, fearing that Yu Xijiao would punish her, so she was very attentive.
"You go find a piece of wrapping paper first. Even though this painting is stained, our girl can still draw the other half according to the unstained one when we go back." Mingyue said.
The maid looked at Mingyue blankly, not understanding why she did this.
"Go quickly." Mingyue's face turned cold.
"Yes, I will go find Baopi right now." The maid just wants nothing wrong now. Although this request is a bit strange, who cares, she just needs to lure the person over.
The maid turned around and ran quickly to get the parcel.
Mingyue once again went to the place where the mother-in-law fell, and the mother-in-law had already stood up.
Mingyue said with an evil look: "You mother-in-law scared our girl on purpose. You will go to the Seventh Princess to apologize yourself later."
"Ah?" The mother-in-law felt that she didn't understand what it meant.
"What? You did something wrong and you don't want to admit it? You are the culprit for putting our girl in this state." Mingyue accused coldly.
"This girl...I was not careful..." the mother-in-law explained carefully.
"Are you careless? Does that mean you killed someone and said it was careless?" Mingyue asked coldly, "Our girl's feet were burned, and you are responsible for this."
"No...this is the maid's business." The mother-in-law shirks her responsibility.
"What about the maid? It's not your fault. If it weren't for you, our girl would have burned her feet?" Mingyue looked annoyed and stretched out her hand to pull the mother-in-law, "Don't leave, we will go to the Seventh Princess to explain it clearly later.
.”
"Hey, it's not... I... I didn't mean it either." The mother-in-law didn't expect that a maid next to Yu Xijiao would be so difficult to deal with, and so courageous. She would dare to pull her so hard at the princess's house, and even
Putting all the blame on yourself, do you really think that you are a useless roughneck?
"You still want to deliberately fall and hurt our girl? It's just a coincidence that our girl can't find anyone." Mingyue stretched out her hand and rolled up her sleeves. Seeing this, she was about to come up and catch the mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law couldn't really catch her. She turned around and ran away in a panic. As she ran, she said, "I really didn't mean it. I... really didn't mean it."
When the bright moon is behind, chase it away.
The two men ran out in pursuit.
Yu Xijiao had already taken out a very simple cloth bag from behind the tree. It was earthy yellow in color and made of the most ordinary coarse cloth. The thing inside was very thin. When you pinch it, it seems to be thin paper or something.
This cloth bag is in a small tree hole behind the tree. There are some random stones piled on it, and there is a layer of mud on top. It looks like an ordinary mud floor, although there are some bumps.
It's very ordinary, you can tell that someone has cleaned it up before.
The weeds outside have been removed, but only the weeds have been removed. It is impossible to remove the muddy ground behind the trees, let alone that no one will pay attention to this pitted muddy ground. Behind a thin layer of ground, is
Pebbles, and underneath the pebbles is this small cloth bag.
The place that my uncle specifically explained is right here.
Just now when Yu Xijiao was painting, Mingyue had actually dug up the ground, took out the cloth bag under the pebbles, and placed it behind the tree.
Yu Xijiao took it out and placed it with the paper on the table. The top paper was discarded. After folding it casually, she threw the cloth bag under the discarded paper.
When the maid came back, Mingyue had also come back. The woman was very fast, and she ran away without a trace in a few seconds. She said before that she couldn't get up after falling.
As for the clothes she is wearing, they are not something that ordinary ladies-in-waiting can wear. From the looks of it, she must be the lady in charge of the palace. Such a woman has a much higher status than the wife-in-law. She cannot even be said to be from the palace.
The nanny who followed the seventh princess out of the palace directly.
You can tell by looking at how naturally she fell and how organized she was in doing things, but it’s a pity that her clothes are...
The maid came over with the parcel. Mingyue took it angrily and glared at the maid. The maid stepped back timidly, not daring to look up.
Mingyue quickly packed up all the things in the package, not just the first piece of paper, but also the following ones. She pricked them randomly and looked messy and swollen. At a glance, she knew that they had not been sorted out.
As for the remaining paper weights, let the little maid clean up, and then said: "Let's go."
The maid just wanted to get things done now, so she wouldn't listen and said hurriedly: "Okay."
"Mingyue, are there any of my clothes in the carriage?" Yu Xijiao suddenly asked after taking a step forward.
After Mingyue was stunned for a moment, she patted her head and said, "It's true, girl, I almost forgot. I really have clothes. I'll go get them now."
"Miss Yu San, why don't you change your clothes quickly?" The maid was a little anxious and glanced at Yu Xijiao secretly.
"There's no one here anyway. Girl, please wait here while I go to the carriage to get some clothes." Mingyue glared at the maid and said.
"But..." The maid looked back, her eyes involuntarily filled with anxiety. When she just passed by, she had already received instructions and the time could not be delayed for too long. This was just the right time.
"If there's anything you can do, please lead me the way." Mingyue picked up the messy wrapping and stretched out her hand to tug on the maid's hand, "It's too late and our girl is even more unwell."
