The king was wrong

"I'm fine, how about you, how are you doing today?"

Qi Yaoqing changed the subject and shifted the topic from himself to the two of them.Meng Han and Meng Qi looked at each other, they hesitated and couldn't explain why.

"Someone is embarrassing you?"

What else did Qi Yaoqing not know when he saw the appearance of the two of them?He immediately narrowed his eyes and his voice became much colder.

"No, no..." Meng Qi hurriedly waved her hand, but her eyes looked at Meng Han hesitantly, as if asking her if she wanted to speak clearly to Qi Yao.

Menghan lowered her eyes and thought for a while, thinking about what she promised Qi Yaoqing in the morning, and finally decided to tell the truth.

"Master, actually... it's not really a big deal, it's just that the steward brought two servants, two guards and a cook here in the morning, saying that they are assigned to our yard according to the rules, and they will stay in the yard to serve in the future. In addition, I also said that someone will deliver the monthly recipes and ingredients in the future. But..."

"But what? I didn't seem to see anyone in the courtyard when I came back." Qi Yaoqing asked casually while drinking tea.

Meng Han bit her lips when she heard the words, and was speechless for a long while, but in the end Meng Qi couldn't stand it any longer, she took the conversation away and said: "Master, Meng Han has a good temper, she refuses to speak ill of others, she is still a slave Let’s talk about it. Not long after the butler left, the nurse in the wife’s courtyard came and said that there was not enough manpower at the wife’s side, so she borrowed some people from the young master first, and returned them when there was more in the future. Although the young master It's a man, but after all, you are the emperor's concubine, how could she be so presumptuous!"

"Is it Xue Hanxue?"

"Exactly."

"How many people did she borrow?"

"All five of them, not even a cook!"

"Did you tell anyone about this?"

"No." Meng Qi looked ashamed and indignant, "Who would believe this kind of thing, a concubine's concubine dared to blatantly bully his wife, this... this is simply... yes..."

"Sensational, unreasonable, isn't it?" Meng Qi was so angry that she couldn't find a word, so Qi Yaoqing simply spoke for her.

"Yes, yes! That's the word, sensational and unreasonable!" Meng Qi immediately echoed.

Who knows that Qi Yaoqing glanced at her coldly, and sighed: "Yeah, this seems to be very unreasonable, but do you think the butler doesn't know about her making such a big fuss? Doesn't the prince know?" ? If there is no acquiescence from the housekeeper, how could those people have the courage to go with a nanny? If there is no protection from the prince, would you really dare to ride on my head as her side wife?"

Meng Qi was dumbfounded by what he said, and stood there for a long time unable to reply a word.Previously, she was so concerned about being angry that she didn't think about it carefully. These seemingly outrageous things actually had an inevitable reason behind each of them.

"My lord, he... unexpectedly..." Meng Qi lost her voice.

"Forget it, let's forget about it here." Qi Yaoqing rubbed the center of his brows wearily, stood up with his hands on his hands, "I am a useless princess, and there is no point in arguing with them now. People in the courtyard It's better if it's less, at least there are no such disputes, it's just hard work for you two, you have to do everything yourself."

"Slaves don't work hard." Hearing these words, the two shook their heads one after another, and Menghan said sincerely: "It is our sister's blessing to serve the young master, and I only hope that the young master will not despise us."

Qi Yaoqing smiled slightly when he heard the words, and nodded, "Well, I'm a little tired, you all go to rest too."

"Yes, the slaves retire."

The yard where there were only three people left was quiet, and it seemed that the sound of flowers and leaves falling to the ground could be heard.But none of them noticed, just after Qi Yaoqing returned to the house, a black figure flashed outside the window and disappeared at the end of the courtyard wall in an instant...

"What? You said there are only two maids left in his yard?"

In the main courtyard, Wei Yanxi almost spit out a mouthful of tea after hearing the shadow guards he sent back to report the situation in Qi Yaoqing's courtyard.

"How is it possible? Didn't the butler send people to the concubine as usual? It shouldn't be, this king remembers that he clearly said that he had already allocated the monthly cases and servants!" He said with a look of disbelief .

"My subordinates heard from the servants under the concubine, it seems that the wife said that she didn't have enough people, so she asked the concubine to borrow all the people."

"The side lady? Who? Xue Hanxue?" Wei Yanxi turned her head and thought for a while, finally remembered that she also had a side lady.

The shadow guard's mouth twitched, and he was quite speechless about the prince's question. Isn't there only one side wife in the whole palace, besides, I heard that this side wife is also the prince's favorite, even the wedding night was spent in her courtyard .Why now it seems that the prince doesn't even remember who the side wife is...

"It's Mrs. Xue Fang." Fortunately, he quickly suppressed this suspicion and answered with concentration.After all, the master's private affairs are beyond his control.

"Hmph, this woman really doesn't stop." Wei Yanxi snorted disdainfully, but after a pause, he suddenly remembered something and looked at the shadow guard.

"What about the princess? How does the princess react after hearing this?"

"This...the concubine didn't react too much, but just told those two girls not to pay attention to this matter." The shadow guard thought for a while, and finally relayed Qi Yaoqing's original words to Wei Yanxi, and sure enough, seeing his master His face was getting darker and darker.

"He... didn't even fight?" Wei Yanxi asked with a cold face.

"Yes."

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

"Are you willing to let Xue Hanxue ride on your head and play wild?"

"……Yes."

"Are you planning to make do with just three people in the backyard?"

"..."

The shadow guard felt that the master should just be talking to himself, rather than asking himself.

"Stupid!" Wei Yanxi suddenly slapped his palm on the table, "Even if the king doesn't like him, he is still the king's concubine! He's not a woman, so who can show such a virtuous appearance? Spread the word Others thought how this king dotes on his concubines and treats his concubine harshly! What should be disputed, indecisive, really soft-tempered!"

Seeing that the master is angry, the shadow guard is stunned, the emotional princess will be said to be jealous if she fights, and she will be said to be incompetent if she doesn't fight, and the prince will say whether she fights or not, what is this...

The shadow guard couldn't help sympathizing with what happened to the princess.

"And the butler!" Wei Yanxi roared again: "There is no respect for the eyes, and you can use the wind to make the rudder. You are old enough to be the butler, right? Go! Tell him to roll over and see the king!"

The shadow guard didn't dare to be vague when he heard the order, and disappeared with a "whoosh".As soon as the butler heard that the prince wanted to see him, he dared not delay, so he immediately ran over, but Wei Yanxi scolded him bloody as soon as he entered the door, and ordered him to quickly replace the servants who should be there for the princess. Send them all over.

The poor old housekeeper was already getting old, and in the end he was frightened by Wei Yanxi, and he was carried back to his small courtyard by two guards.Until the moment before he fainted, he still couldn't figure it out, didn't the prince hate the concubine's doting on Mrs. Xue, why would he be so angry now because of a few servants...

In fact, the specific reason is why even Wei Yanxi himself can't figure it out.It stands to reason that Qi Yaoqing has no one to do his business, if he is willing to live with three people, then three people will live with him, can he worry about him?

But the fact is that he was not only worried, but even angry about it.

Maybe it's because Qi Yaoqing looks like little sister Qi.Wei Yanxi comforted herself in her heart, because she was like sister Xiaoqi, so she subconsciously put him into the situation, imagining what she would do if sister Qi encountered such a thing, and then... actually did that ...

In the blink of an eye, when night fell, Meng Qi saw Qi Yaoqing leaning on a soft couch reading a book by a dim small candle lamp, she couldn't help interrupting softly: "Young master, reading in the dark hurts your eyes, this servant will light another lamp for you .”

"Huh?" Qi Yaoqing raised his head when he heard the words, nodded and smiled at her: "Okay."

Meng Qi put the lighted candle on the small soft table, and couldn't help but move forward curiously, "What are you looking at, young master, so focused?"

"Six Secret Teachings." Qi Yaoqing waved the booklet in his hand.

Meng Qi sighed, shrunk her head dullly, and muttered: "Young master either reads "Zuo Zhuan" or "Sun Tzu's Art of War" every day, and now there is another "Six Secret Teachings", are you planning to go to battle?" Should we kill the enemy or form an army?"

Qi Yaoqing was inexplicably told by her, and said with a helpless smile: "I just read the book of war, where do you come from such a big opinion?"

"Slave...Slave is just talking casually." Meng Qi pouted dissatisfiedly, "The young master is now trapped in the inner courtyard, unable to display any talents and abilities, this is really a pity for you..."

Qi Yaoqing saw that she was talking with a sad face, couldn't help but chuckled, and joked: "I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry. Although I can't leave this small courtyard now, it's not bad to hide my strength and bide my time. I I feel that there is nothing wrong with reading books and admiring flowers every day."

Seeing that Meng Qi was showing signs of discernment again, Qi Yaoqing hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, okay, go back quickly, why don't you stand here and block my light?"

He has issued an order to evict the guests, Meng Qi will naturally not stay here without knowing what to do.It's just that before she left, she didn't forget to "hum" and went out angrily.

Qi Yaoqing only heard the sound of "bang" closing the door inside, and looked around, but there was no one left. He was really angry and funny. He thought that this girl is really a child, but she didn't know it tomorrow. How to show your face to yourself.

With a helpless smile, Qi Yaoqing withdrew his gaze and focused on the book in his hand again.For a moment, there were only the sound of Qi Yaoqing turning the pages of the book, and the crackling sound of the burning candle.

The first thing Wei Yanxi saw when entering the room was such a peaceful and peaceful scene.

The man was wearing a light blue robe, reclining lazily on the soft couch, carefully reading the yellowed scroll in his hand by the slightly dim candlelight, turning over a page from time to time.Sometimes he frowned slightly, and sometimes his phoenix eyes smiled, as if he had found infinite joy in the book.

It is this face, this beautiful face, like the little sister Qi who I have missed for nearly ten years.I don't know if it's an illusion, but Wei Yanxi felt that his every frown and smile carried her original taste.

"Why is your lord here?"

When Qi Yaoqing was thinking, he accidentally glanced at the door, and saw Wei Yanxi standing there silently with just one glance.
