Qiao Yi

"Oh, Zizhu, you are so sensible. Since I have you, my master has relieved me a lot." Qiao Yi took the small basket, took a pair of red envelopes from the basket, and said generously: "Come on, one pair per person." , good things come in pairs, and I wish you all the best

into ah. "

"Thank you, master." Everyone took a pair of red envelopes one by one, and they were all very happy.

Chu Liu took her red envelope and felt the hard stuff inside. Is it silver?He poured it out and took a look, and when he saw that there were two silver coins inside, he immediately smiled.

Wang Dahu put the red package rewarded by the young master into his arms, but did not open it to read.

Not long after, Steward Cui led the servants below to pay New Year's greetings to their princess.

"Get up." Qiao Yi said a few good words and gave everyone a circle of red envelopes.After thanking their princess, Steward Cui led a group of people out.

The big steward led a group of people to come with a clatter, and then left with a clatter.

Qiao Yi found that the New Year's Eve was a bit boring?

In this palace, besides his concubine, there is another master.They drank tea and chatted together last night, and he had no memory of how he himself fell asleep and went back to bed to sleep afterwards. It must have been that person who carried him back to bed to sleep.

But when he woke up today, he was alone on the bed, and there was no sign of anyone sleeping on the other side, so that man didn't stay in his room overnight?

"..." Where did he think of!How did it all look like he was kind of expecting someone to stay in his bed and sleep with him?It's just crazy.Shaking away the thoughts that shouldn't have been in her mind, Qiao Yi straightened her expression, and asked casually: "Hey, that... have you met your prince?"

"Back to young master, the prince should be at the main courtyard right now, young master, do you want to go there?" Zi Zhu asked with a smile.

"..." Qiao Yi.

He thought of a question, and he asked, "In this Palace of Prince Ming, besides me, is there any other women in your lord... well, just..." Are there any other concubines or the like? ?This question is a bit difficult to ask?

Although I know that it is normal for the ancients to have three wives and four concubines, let alone the other party is a prince, three wives and four concubines are more normal.But thinking about how he and that man are now in a legitimate husband and wife relationship, if the other party has other concubines besides him, why do you feel a little uncomfortable?After thinking about it, Qiao Yi attributed this to mental cleanliness.

Anyway, they are now husband and wife. If the other party has other women besides him, the thought of the other party coming to his bed after getting off other women's bed... This feeling is really I feel uncomfortable all over!

"Young master, please don't worry, the lord does not have any other concubines in this palace of the Ming Dynasty except you." Zi Zhu understood what their princess asked, and explained with a smile: "Even the servants and Chun Xue People are the ones that the big housekeeper specially sent two slaves and maidservants to serve you, young master."

So this means that in the entire Ming Palace, apart from the two maidservants in front of him, there are no other women in this Ming Palace?

Qiao Yi blinked his eyes, did he understand the meaning?

"Yes, young master, don't worry about this. The servant girl and sister Zizhu went to inquire about it, and there is no girl serving in the prince's courtyard..." Seeing that the princess finally cared about this issue, Chun Xue lowered his voice and heard the inquiry. The news told them the princess.

They are maidservants serving the princess, so they naturally hope that the master will be favored.The master is favored, and those servants who serve with the master will not be bullied by others, and will live well in this palace.Their concubine has a good temper, so far she has never beaten or scolded them, and just rewarded them with two rewards.

In fact, looking at it this way, apart from being a man, their princess looks better than a girl, and it is very suitable to stand with their prince. She thinks it is good for their princess and prince to be together.

"Ahem..." Qiao Yi clenched his fists and coughed, interrupting what the little maid wanted to say, and said, "There's nothing to do in the house, why don't you just go out for a walk."

"It's cold outside, master, please put on your cloak before you go out." Zizhu went and brought a big red cloak, and put it on for their master, and said with a smile: "Master, you don't know, this cloak was worn by the prince yesterday. It was specially sent to you, master."

"Yes, master, you look really nice in your clothes." The more Haruyuki looked at her, the more she felt that their princess was pretty, and couldn't help but look at them more.

At a glance.

The cloak was just right for him, not too long, just up to his ankles, so it wouldn't drag on the ground.Qiao Yi stretched out her hand to touch the cloak on her body, thinking that these are real animal furs, right?In this era, there is no chemical fiber and man-made

Something like fur?

So, the cloak he was wearing was sewn from animal fur?How many foxes have to be killed and skinned...

"..." Forget it, the times are different, and we can't use modern labels to look at this era.

But is it really warm to wear?I couldn't help but touched the cloak on my body again, it was soft and felt very good.

"Let's go." Qiao Yi walked outside.

It was still snowing outside, and Wang Dahu held an umbrella for their young master, covering the falling snow.

"Master, this is the courtyard where the prince lives, don't you want to go in?" Zi Zhu asked when he walked to the gate of the courtyard where the prince lived, seeing their master standing still.

"Oh, let's go in and have a look." Qiao Yi pretended to be casual, as if they just happened to come here, and he didn't come here on purpose.

"Young master, I have seen you." The guard guarding outside the door saluted when they saw their concubine and concubine coming.

"Your lord, are you inside?" Qiao Yi pointed to the inside and asked.

"Back to young master, the prince is inside. Do you want to see the prince? The prince told you that you don't need to go in to report, you can just go in." Their prince has ordered that in the entire palace, the princess can go anywhere, That naturally includes the courtyard where the prince lives?

I heard that the prince stays in the prince's room every night. I think the relationship between the prince and the concubine should be very good.Although this concubine is a man, it was also a marriage bestowed by the emperor himself. The person their prince went to pick up in person is naturally another master of their Ming palace.

Those of them who are servants naturally act according to their master's face.

"Young master, please come in."

Qiao Yi nodded reservedly. For some reason, she felt a little happy when she heard this.

He raised his foot and walked in. While walking, he subconsciously observed the surrounding environment. Except that it looked a little bigger than the place on his side, it didn't seem to be any better than the place where he lived.Looking at this straight-forward style, there is no such thing as too much decoration in the yard, which is completely in line with the man's temperament.

Compared with the Wang family he had been to, this place is simply a garden and a random residence.To put it bluntly, it is atmospheric, but to put it bluntly, it is rough...

That's fine, why build such a beautiful yard?The annual maintenance cost is unknown.From this point, it can be seen that His Royal Highness King Ming doesn't seem to spend much money?Oh, he remembered, he didn't have time to check the two big boxes of ledgers sent by the steward, and he really had to take a good look at them when he turned around, at least he had to understand the economic situation of Prince Ming's mansion. Have a general understanding.

"Why are you here?" Hearing the voice outside, Xie Yin knew that Qiao Yi had brought someone to his side.

Qiao Yi raised her eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you welcome?"

"That's not what I mean. You are not in good health, can you walk around so quickly?" Xie Yin invited someone to come in and sit down. The servant who served him brought tea and stepped aside to wait.Qiao Yi sat down on the seat on the other side, and asked, "You really think my body is made of paper?"

"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile."

Seeing a book on the table, Qiao Yi asked, "Reading a book? I won't disturb your reading when I come."

Xie Yin thought to himself who was the person who passed out in his arms, and who was the person who woke up after sleeping for a day and a night, but he didn't say this, after all, the boy became like this because of him .This time, because of the young man's help, the thing in his body didn't wake up, and the pain that should come every month didn't come. He even forgot how long he hadn't felt so relaxed.

"Just take a look at it when you have nothing to do." Seeing the boy coming, Xie Yin asked, "Can you play chess? How about we play two games of chess."

"I know a little bit, but I don't play very well. You have to be merciful later on." When I was young, I followed their old man and learned a little bit of everything, including chess, but the chess skills were so-so. little interest.In the ten years after the end of the world, I was working hard every day on how to survive, and I never touched these things again.

Xie Yin asked someone to bring the chessboard over, with a smile on his face, he said: "If you need it, I will let you order it."

The chessboard was set up, and the two began to play chess.

Later, Xie Yin really found out that his little concubine's chess skills are very average. If he wants to play hard, the boy can't move ten moves in his hands.But since he promised to give way to the boy at the beginning, he really gave way on purpose, and even guided the boy how to go.

Chess meaning and ideas.

The boy is much smarter than he imagined, the number of chess he said once, the next time the boy will learn to use it, and he can use it against him by analogy.

"Come again." After losing two games in a row, Qiao Yi had the feeling that the more he lost, the more courageous he was. He would definitely win a game!

"Okay, let's continue." He saw the light in the boy's eyes that did not admit defeat, and the two of them worked together to rearrange the chess pieces and started to play chess again.

On this day, no one from the capital came to the Ming Palace to pay New Year's greetings, and no outsiders came to disturb them, so the two of them just nestled in the room and played chess.The two played chess for half a day, Qiao Yi lost six or seven games in a row, and only narrowly won one at the end.

"Haha, I won, I won... Do you think I'm good?"

"Well, you won, that's great."

Seeing the young man smiling brightly, Xie Yin felt happier than he himself had won. He would not tell the young man that he gave up the last step on purpose, otherwise the young man would not have won.

But winning or losing is not important, as long as his little princess is happy...
