Do you still want it, son?

The two rows of maids lowered their heads slightly, their eyes were on their own feet, waiting to be picked.

Ji Xiao took A Yuan's hand and looked carefully at each one, from nails to eyebrows, and from shoulders to clothes.

How to choose was a difficulty, he thought for a while, and came up with an idea.

"The third one in the first row, the fifth one in the second row, step forward." Ji Xiao's voice was not high, but it was still loud in the quiet hall.

The two girls who were selected took two steps forward, bowed their knees first and saluted Ji Xiao respectfully.

Others retreated under Jinchun's signal.

"You two, what's your name?" Ji Xiao asked.

"Call, what, what devil!" A Yuan imitated Ji Xiao's general words, his small chest straightened out, and a pair of moist almond eyes rolled around the two girls.

The two maids said one after the other, "The servant girl is called catecha."

"The servant girl is called Lilac."

"Tea, fragrant." A Yuan took La Jixiao's hand, attracted his attention, and then told him the names of catechu and clove as if asking for credit.

Ji Xiao looked down at A Yuan and said with a smile, "A Yuan is right."

A Yuan was praised, and let go of Ji Xiao's hand in a fluttering manner, grinning his mouth behind his ears, and boasted, "A Yuan, good, good!"

The little black dog in the yard was having fun, turned around twice and then looked up at A Yuan under the steps, wagging its tail happily, hoping that A Yuan would play with him.A Yuan's soul was easily snatched away, he muttered and wanted to run into the yard, the little girl who served A Yuan was called Bajiao, and hurriedly stepped forward to follow behind A Yuan.

Ji Xiao let A Yuan run to the yard, while he talked with Catecha and the others.

"You two, when we get close to each other in the future, the prince and I will teach you the minutiae rules later this spring. I believe you are all outstanding, but rewards and punishments are clearly defined, so don't do wrong things easily."

Catechu and clove responded softly.

That night.

When Catecha and Dingxiang took people to wash and wash them, Shen Huai looked at them more, and when they left, he turned his head and asked Ji Xiao with a smile, "Why did A Xiao choose two who look like this?"

Ji Xiao flicked through the book for a moment, thinking that Shen Huai thought that catecha and cloves were not good-looking, and as if he had seen through a certain kind of intention, he raised his head and said awkwardly, "They, they are not ugly. "

As Shen Huai walked in, he unbuttoned his shirt, and when he arrived in front of Ji Xiao, his coat had already been thrown away.

He stopped on the opposite side of the table, supported the edge of the table with both hands, leaned over and lowered his head to suck on Ji Xiao's lips, then lingered for a while, and said vaguely, "Huh? I didn't say they were ugly, I think they are It's pretty good-looking."

When Shen Huai was living in the palace, he saw the maids that Lin Xian picked for Shen Chi to serve him closely, and he wished for a nose and eyes, all of them were strange.He thought that Ji Xiao would also be like Lin Xian, who would have thought that now, A Xiao is quite generous.

"Do you think they are good-looking?" Ji Xiao couldn't even hold the page, and dropped it on the table with a thud, and a gust of wind blew out the candle in front of him.

His complexion was red and white, and he felt a little uneasy.

Jinhe thinks they look good-looking, what does that mean?

The light dimmed suddenly, Shen Huai couldn't see Ji Xiao's expression, and didn't probe into his emotions, he just followed his words and said, "It's pretty nice," he said and laughed loudly again, talking to Ji Xiao Xiao talked about making jokes, "You have never seen those maids in the palace, and those around my emperor's brother, all of them are amazingly beautiful."

Ji Xiao didn't understand yet, he just grabbed Shen Huai's hand hastily, and confessed to him, "Actually, catecha and clove are not the most beautiful. There are a few girls who look so good that I can't take my eyes away. Jin and you, if you like the beautiful ones, I will have them replaced tomorrow..."

When Ji Xiao said this, his heart was pierced like a knife, and he was extremely sad.

Shen Huai paused when he took off his pants, and turned his head to look at Ji Xiao in the dark. He froze for a moment before realizing, "What is A Xiao thinking?" He pulled Ji Xiao into his arms, He was so happy to pat A Yuan on his ass, "I'm talking about their comparison with the ugly ones who are deliberately selected by my emperor's brother. If I like the good-looking ones, A Xiao I I can't get enough of them, how can they compare to A Xiao?"

Ji Xiao's mood slowly rose again because of this, and when he was about to speak, he held Shen Huai's face, bit his cheek unhappily, and said jealously, "Ah Xiao said just now that your eyes moved away." What do you mean by not opening?" He paused, then sneered slowly, "Tomorrow I will ask Jinchun to bring people to me to have a look, and see how seductive and seductive their faces are. A Xiao lost his mind."

Ji Xiao was secretly annoyed, and felt that his awkwardness just now was really not good, "No, no," he took Shen Huai's hand, not wanting to bring trouble to those low-browed girls during the day, and quickly explained , "There are good-looking ones, I, I don't ask them to come here, because I am afraid that they will hang around you all day long, in my heart, "

The more he talked about the key points, the more Ji Xiao stammered, Shen Huai and the others were anxious, and urged, "What's in your heart?"

"In my heart," Ji Xiao gritted his teeth and puffed up, "My heart is sore and astringent, I don't want to find such a girl by your side..."

Shen Huai really didn't realize that Ji Xiao and Lin Xian were the same people.It's just that Lin Xian has always been used to being arrogant and indulgent, acting boldly and recklessly.Ji Xiao was timid and gentle, even if he wanted to, he would only dare to choose a tactful compromise.

Thinking of this, Shen Huai was somewhat envious of Shen Chi's ability to spoil Lin Xian so much.His A Xiao should also live as casually as Lin Xian, and should have full confidence in himself.

Shen Huai has the ability to make Ji Xiao indulge in arrogance, so he naturally feels that arrogance does not matter.

"This really makes me breathe a sigh of relief," Shen Huai put his arms around Ji Xiao's waist, kissed his earlobe, and the voice that rang in Ji Xiao's ear in the dark night was soft, "I'm afraid that there is something in A Xiao's eyes." Others, how can I live then?"

He revealed his more uneasy emotions to Ji Xiao, and let him understand that in this relationship, the actual rank has no effect at all.Shen Huai is one person under ten thousand people, arrogant and indifferent, but in front of Ji Xiao, he is also restless everywhere, looking up at Ji Xiao from bottom to top.

Ji Xiao was moved, he stretched out his arms and hugged Shen Huai tightly, "No, no," he wiped away his tears while earnestly assuring Shen Huai, "None of them are as good-looking as Jin He."

Shen Huai was at a loss for words for a while, but couldn't help laughing again.A Xiao really has a cuteness that he doesn't know, and he likes it day by day.

It's a long night, talking in the bed is always more interesting than talking outside the bed, the bed curtain is down, it's another world.

A cold autumn rain.

When I got up early in the morning, there was continuous heavy rain, and water poured down from the corrugated tiles, and went to the low-lying places in the yard, almost flowing into a small river.

A Yuan stood on the verandah pillar, the raindrops on the corrugated wall hung down, splashing a little on his robe.

Bajiao looked anxiously on the side, stepped forward to support A Yuan's shoulder and coaxed, "Young master, let's go in for a while?"

"No, no!" A Yuan twisted his shoulder willfully, shook Bajiao's hand, squatted down by himself, opened his eyes to look at the water on the ground with concentration, and then slowly stood up straight with the help of the pillars, solemnly tensed. With a small face, he stretched out his feet tentatively and tapped in the water.

With a bang, the splash of water was much larger than that of raindrops.

Ah Yuan regained his energy immediately, he stretched out his foot to step on it frequently, the rain splashed high, and his shoes, socks and clothes hem were wet after two strokes.

"Hahaha," he grinned.

Bajiao was terrified, she turned her head to look at the door that was still closed, and thought to herself that if the prince was woken up, it would either be your death or mine, and she didn't care about other things at the moment, she stepped forward and hugged A Yuan in her arms , and slipped up to a place where there was no rain splashing inside.

A Yuan suddenly lost his interest, and was lifted into the air again, his little face flushed with anger, and he let out a cry.But after all he had short arms and legs, and Bajiao was determined to get him away, it was useless to make a fuss, Bajiao quickly covered his mouth even when he yelled.

If the prince is woken up again, she might find it more comfortable to hang herself with a piece of white silk than to wait for the punishment.

A Yuan carried Bajiao all the way to the dining room, and then passed the kitchen door.The kitchen is in full swing at the moment, and five or six women are busy, preparing everything for cooking.

A Yuan stopped talking immediately, he choked twice, he rubbed Bajiao's shoulders, and stared at the busy movements of the people inside without blinking.

"Eat, A Yuan, eat." He pointed to the freshly baked steamed buns inside, and kicked his legs up and down in Bajiao's arms.

Bajiao reluctantly hugged this slippery little thing tightly, her face just wanted to cry, why, why did she find herself to take care of the young master, none of the three siblings she had brought was so troublesome.

Outside Prince Ping's Mansion, under the curtain of rain, there were not many pedestrians on the main street, and one or two people in coir raincoats were frowning and hurrying along.

An Yuan stood on the porch, watching all this condescendingly.

Suddenly, a few carriages came in a hurry, breaking the peaceful street scene.Splashes of water splashed from the wheels due to the rapid rotation.The original ornate decoration outside the carriage looked a bit embarrassed under the heavy rain.

In the carriage, Han Wang's fingertips tapped faster and faster on the table, revealing a trace of anxiety.Concubine Han who was sitting on the side persuaded, "My lord, everyone is here, let's put aside the other things first."

"How to put it aside?" King Han said in a rough voice, a little impatient, "You don't understand these things, so don't talk too much."

Concubine Han hesitated to speak, she clenched the Buddhist beads in her hand, and only hoped that the trip would go smoothly and nothing would go wrong.

The carriage gradually stopped.

Seeing this, An Yuan took a slow step forward, raised his hand and straightened his sleeves, turned his head and said something to the boy at the porter's office, the boy nodded, and then quickly went to the inner courtyard .

The carriages followed one another and stopped at the gate of Prince Ping's Mansion.

Before the door was opened, a few servants jumped out of the carriage at the back. Without an umbrella, they were drowned in soup in an instant, and their eyes were almost washed away by the rain.

They all stopped in front of the carriage in the middle, lay down neatly, and waited for the people in the carriage to step on them without touching the ground.Many women and servants came out from Prince Ping's mansion, all holding umbrellas, blocking a way for the people in the carriage not to get wet.

An Yuan raised his head to look at the sky, and felt a little bored in his heart when dealing with such a scene.

Han Wang, if it is based on seniority, both Shen Huai and Shen Chi will call him uncle.Therefore, after this trip, although King Han's heart is not very stable, he still has some confidence.

As long as he doesn't stand in front of the emperor, the emperor might be able to save face.

But there are too many variables in King Yan, no one can say for sure.

King Han and Princess Han were invited all the way to the courtyard that had been prepared earlier. An Yuan stood beside them with a calm expression, "Your Majesty and Concubine must feel tired after a lot of twists and turns along the way. Your Majesty told you to rest first. , when night falls, he will come to greet you again."

The word greeting was so harsh that General Han Wang was taken aback. He quickly shook his head and smiled wryly, "Ah Huai is no longer what he used to be. You don't need to remember those miscellaneous rules. We are all family members. Don't be extroverted."

"I said something wrong," An Yuan took a step back, bowing his head slightly.

Naturally, King Han couldn't blame him, so he just waved his hand and said, "No problem, no problem."

Concubine Han was even more uneasy. The beads in her hand were spinning quickly, but she also smiled on her face, nodded to An Yuan, and watched him leave with an umbrella.

"This trip," Princess Han worried, "I'm afraid there will be no good results."

in the main courtyard.

The boy at the porter stood in the courtyard and waited anxiously. He didn't dare to approach, so he just stood under the eaves half drenched in the rain.

A Yuan insisted on playing with water, but Anise couldn't stop him, so he had to ask Jinchun for advice, and at least he got an idea.

A Yuan changed his clothes, his legs were wrapped in oiled paper, he was holding a small umbrella in his hand, and on the outside of the small umbrella was a big umbrella opened by anise. Steamed steamed buns are circling back and forth in the yard.

Under the eaves, the servant blinked vigorously to get the water off his eyelids, but when he didn't want to, his eyes were covered with water.

He reluctantly reached out to wipe it, but it was just a cyclical process.

A small hand suddenly broke through the water curtain and reached his eyes.

"Here, you eat," A Yuan walked up to him, slurring his words with a puffy face, "Once, eat."

The people living in the main courtyard, even the maids, can be much higher than their concierge, let alone such a little nobleman.

The boy was very moved, he quickly reached out to pick it up, the steamed bun was still steaming, and the gluttons in people's stomachs were drawn out by the smell.

A Yuan pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes dazzled with a face like a little jade.

The young man didn't dare to look any further, and quickly looked away, "My servant thanked the young master."

A Yuan waved his hands imitating Shen Huai's movements, and said generously, "Thank you, no, no need."

He helped him eat the unwanted buns, he should thank him, A Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, at least he didn't let his father see.
