Even though this prince's voice was unpleasant to hear, it gave people the feeling of a spring breeze. He should have a warm personality. However, he always liked to hide himself in a pile of tobacco ash, not revealing himself to people at all.
/p
I suddenly remembered the words of the servant girl that I overheard in the corner. This prince was born after being struck by lightning. Then his face and body must have been … P-!!!
/p
The prince's body moved slightly and he slowly said, "I think you know that when this prince was young, this prince suffered a disaster. His appearance and body are ugly. If you marry this prince, this prince is afraid that you will be mistreated."
/p
I thought about it. I was a girl who had lost her memories, and was all alone in the most remote and uninhabited corner of the Prime Minister's manor. Presumably, I didn't have any talent, and I didn't have any ambition to be given a great responsibility by the Heavens. Thus, I said, "Right now, I'm not sure if I'll be treated unfairly, but a woman living in this deep courtyard will eventually have to marry."
/p
Wasn't it the same no matter who she married? In any case, he was still a prince. I thought to myself.
/p
But this Prince Yue seemed to understand my silent ridicule in my heart. After I said that sentence, he was rude and didn't say anything else. I didn't know why my hearing was so sharp, but I heard his breathing become heavy.
/p
I suspected that some word in my speech had offended him and caused him to be angry, so I cautiously prepared to protect myself.
/p
The two of us were in a deadlock for the time it took for a stick of incense to burn. But he broke the silence first. First he gave a light sigh, and then he laughed.
/p
"Girl, I really can't do anything to you." He was helpless.
/p
His words didn't connect and it really made me confused. My eyes moved around in circles. I didn't know why, but I suddenly saw a few strands of black hair hanging in front of my shoulders. Without thinking, I suddenly understood.
/p
Wang Ye didn't add a time frame when he said this. Perhaps it was because I was still an unmarried maiden. Even if it was the Imperial Wang Ye who had been appointed as an official, he would never be able to extend his hand into the deep courtyard of a large family. Once I married into his manor, signed the marriage contract, and picked the red veil, wouldn't I have to abide by the virtues of a woman and take the husband as the wife?
/p
So I said, "Soon, soon." After saying this, I suddenly felt disgusted by my own words. I couldn't breathe and suppressed it.
/p
Perhaps it was because the road ahead was uncertain. Even if I had the casual thought of "marrying someone doesn't matter", I still felt a trace of disgust and dislike towards the upcoming wedding.
/p
Suddenly, there was a crisp whistle in the air. The prince hiding in the darkness suddenly turned around. From the sound of it, it seemed that the whistle had come for him.
/p
I said, "If the prince is in a hurry, there is no harm done."
/p
"Mischievous girl." The prince laughed as he scolded me. He took a few steps back and prepared to leave. But after taking a few steps back, he stopped and said, "I will have someone take care of your dress tonight. Don't worry."
/p
I nodded my head, giving him face, "With you taking care of it, I am very relieved."
/p
To me, this was just a polite greeting. It was the same as bowing and greeting an elder, but someone actually took it seriously. I felt that when the prince left, his eyes seemed to be shining with joy as he looked at me. I touched my nose. For a while, I couldn't figure out where this joy came from. After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out. I could only walk back to my small courtyard without any guilt.
/p
I didn't think that there was someone waiting for me in that courtyard.
/p
It was a well-dressed servant girl. She and two servant girls were waiting in the courtyard outside my door according to the rules. I saw that they didn't wait long. Under such a hot sun, the two delicate girls didn't even have a drop of sweat.
/p
"Gui Yan jiejie, why would the matriarch send you to this place?" One of the servant girls with a round face couldn't hold back her anger, "We are just second class servants. Coming to this deserted courtyard to deliver clothes is just a matter of getting some mud on the soles of our shoes. What kind of status does jiejie have?"
/p
Before she finished speaking, the servant girl called Gui Yan coldly interrupted, "I am also just a servant girl who serves the matriarch."
/p
The other servant girl hurried to smooth things over, "Jiejie, don't be angry. We two sisters are just worried about you. After all, you are the matriarch's favorite person."
/p
Gui Yan's appearance was delicate and pretty. Her back was straight, and the way she spoke was arrogant and straightforward. She turned around and scolded without any trace of politeness, "What a good two little bitches. You don't have any energy to work, but you dare to talk behind my back. When the master comes, you dare to drag me into the water! No matter how unfavored the second young lady is, she is still the master of our prime minister's manor. What's more, she was personally appointed by the emperor to be his son's official wangfei. In the future, she will be a member of the imperial family. How can the servants talk about her? "
/p
The round-faced servant girl was not convinced, "It's just that she was born on a good day. Her eight characters are right, and she was brought in to drive away the bad luck."
/p
"She can pick a good day to be born, can you? She can be in her wife's belly, can you? Don't say that it's all due to luck. Maybe it's because he cultivated virtue for eight lifetimes to pick up such luck! "
/p
The round-faced servant girl was still talking, "What luck, even that Ghost King doesn't know how long he can live."
/p
"Pa!"
/p
Gui Yan held the tray of clothes with one hand, and raised the other hand without hesitation. She neatly slapped the round-faced servant girl's big face. I watched from the side and saw that she used a lot of strength. Soon, five pink finger marks appeared on her face, making her face look even bigger.
/p
"You've got a lot of guts. Not only do you criticize your master, but you also don't even put the emperor's imperial family in your eyes?" Gui Yan's anger attacked her heart, and her fair and clean face was a little flushed, "Wait till we are done with this errand, I will return to the Old Ancestor for you. Our mansion does not dare to let a proud servant live here. You had better quickly pack up your things and climb up the social ladder!"
/p
I just happened to enter the door openly at this time. I didn't mind watching the fun and fanning the flames, "Good, good, I like Gui Yan's shrewdness."
/p
"Miss." Gui Yan took the lead and saluted to me. The boastful round-faced servant originally wanted to kneel down and beg Gui Yan for mercy. Unfortunately, he was disrupted by Gui Yan's salute. He didn't know whether to kneel or lower his body. His body stiffened and he awkwardly stood in place. His eyes were empty, and confusion was written all over his face.
/p
In fact, other than the excitement of rejoicing in other people's misfortune, I also felt a bit of pity. Flattery was a good action, but unfortunately, the starting point was not right, and the flattery hit the horse's leg.
/p
Gui Yan was arrogant, but she also recognized the reality. She was a rare good girl.
/p
I was too lazy to deal with the servant who committed a crime, and I thought that Gui Yan wouldn't let her off easily. Therefore, I focused my attention on the neat stack of clothes on Gui Yan's tray. I don't know why my nose was so sharp, but I smelled two different scents.
/p
One was light, and the other was rich. One was a banished immortal, and the other was a coquettish mortal.
/p
I didn't point it out, and pulled up the moon-white clothes with exquisite embroidery. I said, "The fragrance is too strong, where did this dress come from?"
/p
"Replying to Second Miss, Prince Yue bestowed it to the residence."
/p
Her words were ambiguous, so I deliberately asked, "Who was it bestowed to?"
/p
"It was bestowed to Miss."
/p
"Miss, I don't like it." I put the dress back, "Go back to the Prince and tell him that my nose hurts when I smell it. But if my nose hurts, my head hurts. I don't want it."
/p
Gui Yan Wan tried to persuade her: "Wangye said, he wants Miss to wear this dress to go out to the lake at night. Today is the day to beg for luck, Miss rarely goes out, why don't you dress up beautifully?"
/p
"Being beautiful is important, but I can't wrong my nose."
/p
Gui Yan persuaded again, "The Prince's sedan chair will be here soon. Miss, you should dress up early to welcome him. Don't provoke the Prince's displeasure before you even enter the residence."
/p
I put my nervousness on the surface, "The Prince will be here soon?"
/p
Gui Yan quickly nodded, "Yes. Master, why don't you hurry?"
/p
I suddenly raised my lips into a smile, and my dimples rippled on my cheeks, "That's good. Give me the dress. I will personally go to the Prince to judge."
/p
Gui Yan was startled, and quickly pulled me back, "Miss, how can you be so rude? If you offend the Prince, our family will suffer."
/p
"This dress was bestowed to me by the Prince. I don't like the smell. If I go to him, I can either return it or change it. How is that offending the Prince?"
/p
Gui Yan saw the teasing smile on my face. She fiercely bit her lower lip and said, "This dress, this dress was just taken by the Eldest Miss to try it on."
/p
I smelled it just like! She really was a family that couldn't be seen in public. A good Eldest Miss coveted other people's things. Moreover, it was just an ordinary dress. I sneered, "If it weren't for the fact that I insisted on finding His Highness for an explanation, you would have kept me in the dark until I died, right?"
/p
Gui Yan's legs went soft, and she knelt in front of me, "Miss, please forgive me!"
/p
I didn't want to vent my anger on her, so I asked, "What crime should I forgive you for? Tell me."
/p
"It was this servant's carelessness. When this dress was just delivered to the residence, the Eldest Miss thought it was beautiful and took it to have a look. Perhaps at that time, there was some smell. When this servant went to take it back, I didn't pay attention and forgot to dust it to disperse the smell. Therefore, I gave it to the Eldest Miss."
/p
I looked at her with some pity, "What kind of servant is the most pitiful?"
/p
Gui Yan didn't even dare to raise her head.
/p
"A servant who rushes forward to block a knife for her master," I shook my head and sighed, "I don't know if your master wants to protect you, or if she wants to push you out and block the knife rain from the sky."
/p
"My anger won't disappear for the time being," I continued, "It seems that I have endured too much before. So much so that someone is treating me like a rotten persimmon. She dares to be greedy for something bestowed by the Prince's residence. I think this is how the heart of a traitor can be born! "
/p
"Master, Miss, my Eldest Miss," Gui Yan was already scared to tears. Her delicate little face was covered in tears, "These words can be beheaded, you can't say it."
/p
I asked her bluntly, "If you can't say it, then you can do it?"
/p
Can't say it? Can't do it?
/p
