As soon as the sun appeared on the horizon, the two maids had already gotten up and started washing up. They were only twenty-eight years old, and they were both Princess Yongle's dowry maids. They were called Vanilla and Amber respectively.
Ever since Xiaoli, the most favored one around Princess Yongle, was sent away by Grandma Sun, the two of them have been responsible for serving the princess personally.
This time the princess was out of the capital, and her body was not as wild as Lu Hanjiang's. Naturally, it was impossible for her to come all the way, so it was almost inevitable to take two maids with her to serve her.
The two maids started to wash up gently. Vanilla, who was a few months younger, saw the dark circles under Amber's eyes and couldn't help but wonder: "Sister, why did you come back so late last night?"
Amber yawned slightly, then took a cup of water and patted her cheeks, cheering up and said: "Last night, His Highness asked for water in his room, and I went to serve it, so I came back a little late."
Vanilla blinked, then suddenly realized, and immediately smiled evilly: "So that's it, I also thought that His Highness is so beautiful and fragrant, how can the consort remain undisturbed? I'm afraid it's inconvenient because Miss Shang was here a few days ago.
No, as soon as they leave, "
Halfway through her words, Vanilla couldn't help but whisper a few words into Amber's ear. Then she couldn't help but smile, and her little face turned red first.
Amber's face turned red when she said that. She raised her pink fist and hammered Vanilla, and cursed in a low voice: "You want to die, how dare you talk like this behind your back? If I tell His Highness, be careful."
Hit you."
Vanilla quickly begged for mercy: "Sister, please spare me this time."
After saying that, he reluctantly took Hu Hu's arm and shook it. The latter said helplessly: "It's just to scare you. I will remember Shao Digu's family affairs in the future."
Vanilla quickly swore an oath, promising not to do it again. After the two maids simply washed up, they went to the kitchen to get some food, and then waited for the princess and the consort to get up, and then they went in to serve.
While eating, Vanilla suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "Sister, do you still remember what Aunt Axiu told you before leaving Beijing?"
Amber was startled, and quickly covered Vanilla's mouth. She looked around and saw that no one else paid attention to what the girl said, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Amber glared at Vanilla sternly, and also whispered: "Did you hit a ghost today or something? How come you have such desperate thoughts one after another?"
After being taught a lesson, Vanilla couldn't help but curl her lips in frustration. She lowered her head and just focused on picking up the rice, but there was a different color in her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Amber no longer wanted to eat. She hurriedly used some and quickly pulled her into a quiet place.
Seeing the reluctant Vanilla, Amber had a headache. She was a few months older than Vanilla and had always treated her as a younger sister. Now that the other person was making mistakes, of course she had to persuade her immediately.
Amber said seriously: "Vanilla, don't blame me for speaking harshly. What kind of status is the princess? You are just a slave. How dare you have such thoughts."
This harsh sermon seemed to sting Vanilla's heart. Her eyes were slightly red. The word identity was indeed the most painful. God was unfair. They were born inferior. But because of this, how could she be willing to do so?
.
Xianghua opened her mouth and said stubbornly: "Sister, I don't understand what you are saying. We are originally the princess's dowry maids. Although there is no fact, we are already the consorts of the consort in name. Besides, Aunt Axiu also
He ordered us to share the princess' worries."
Amber's eyes widened. She didn't expect that Vanilla's thoughts had reached such an extent. If anyone in the room dared to mention such a thing without His Highness speaking out, it would be disrespectful.
"You're crazy," Amber pulled Vanilla's body away from her and straightened her back. She bit her lip and said, "Have you forgotten what Xiaoli is? How dare you."
The whereabouts of Xiaoli, the most favored maid of Princess Yongle, has always been a mystery in the minds of the servants of the Lu Mansion.
Originally, the old people in the Lu Mansion were fine. These people were able to stay by Lu Hanjiang's side to serve them because they were inspected by Lao Qian. Naturally, they would not talk too much about such issues.
However, the situation is different for those who left the palace with Princess Yongle. Although these people are also in the Lu Mansion, most of them are under the control of Grandma Sun who is beside the princess, and the old money never takes over.
As for Xiaoli's "disappearance", Grandma Sun has not explained anything. In fact, she has nothing to say. Do you want to tell everyone that there is a criminal next to the princess who is planning to do something wrong?
However, Grandma Sun's silence caused everyone to have different ideas. The most popular theory is that Xiaoli seduced the consort and was kicked out by the princess.
Although everyone knows that the princess is kind-hearted, this time is unusual. It concerns the person next to her. Even the princess cannot be so generous.
So Vanilla's wishful thinking at the moment, in Amber's opinion, is really seeking death.
After listening to Amber's heart-wrenching advice, Vanilla lowered her head, her young face showing a stubbornness that even nine cows could not control. She stubbornly said: "Sister, you don't have to persuade me anymore. Even if I don't have that intention,
Do we still want to wait for outsiders to get there first?"
After saying that, Xianghua raised her head and said angrily: "Why did Aunt Axiu give us such careful instructions? Isn't she just worried about the people around the consort—"
"Shut up!"
Amber was a little annoyed. She took a deep breath and stared at Vanilla without speaking.
What the other party said had different meanings, and it was nothing more than Miss Shangluo. As a member of the opposite sex who had a very good relationship with Lu Hanjiang, she also had a close relationship with the princess, which had already made countless people dissatisfied.
From Vanilla's point of view, Shangluo was an extremely scheming girl. She wanted to hook up with the consort through the princess's relationship. She had such bad intentions. Aunt Axiu asked them to share the princess' worries, wasn't she just trying to stop such a person?
Are the people in the palace who come out with the princess treated as decorations, and are they going to allow outsiders to ride on top of them and run wild?
Seeing that she was so stubborn, Amber really had no choice. Aunt Axiu told them to share their worries, so that they could take good care of the princess and don't let the consort get lost in the way of His Highness because of his hotheadedness. Who should let her worry about that aspect.
But Vanilla couldn't listen, and Amber persuaded her for a long time. It was getting brighter now, and she had to serve the princess. She had to give her a final warning not to talk too much, and then worriedly led her to the princess and the consort's house.
Waiting outside.
In the room, Yongle suddenly opened her eyes. When she raised her head, she saw Lu Hanjiang's eyes staring at her in a daze. Only then did she realize that her two claws had not let go of the other man's chest.
Yongle's pretty face turned red, and he let go of his hands and retracted into the quilt. Only then did Lu Hanjiang get up. Two Amber and Vanilla who heard the noise outside came in to serve him.
The princess was hiding on the bed. While Amber was scratching her head, Vanilla had already started to serve Lu Hanjiang to change her clothes. She looked frightened. Fortunately, the other party behaved well and didn't make any small moves.
After Lu Hanjiang changed his clothes and left the house, Princess Yongle poked her head out from under the quilt. Although they had been married for three years, she was still very shy.
In the outer hall, Cui Yixiao had been waiting for a long time. After Lu Hanjiang came out, he asked him to sit down and have breakfast together.
Cui Yixiao raised his head and said with a smile: "My lord, you look really good today."
"Occasionally," Lu Hanjiang paused, and then said, "You came so early today, but you have something to do?"
Cui Yixiao hurriedly stood up and took out the letter sent from Beijing: "Urgent mail from Beijing, please take a look."
