yellow door

Chapter 11

Back at Zhaoyang Palace at night, Chang Xiu stepped forward to change Wen Mu's regular clothes, Wen Mu didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and let him take care of it, the little eunuch outside the door Rushun saw him, and was about to close the door and leave, but He was called out by Wen Mu: "Chang Xiu has been unwell for the past few days, you should bring something to serve at night."

Rushun was very surprised when he heard this, so he raised his head and glanced in Chang Xiu's direction, but because Chang Xiu's back was facing the palace gate, he couldn't see the expression on his face, only saw him holding Wen Mu's bag tightly. Clothes buttons, the color between the fingers is whitish.

This Rushun didn't know what happened during the day, he only saw that since the fifth prince and Chang Xiu were alone in the inner room in the afternoon, the two hadn't spoken to each other, even Chang Xiu was sick, it was not uncommon But at that time, the fifth prince never said that he would change Chang Xiu's night duty.

After thinking about it like this, he felt in his heart that it must be the father-in-law Chang Xiu who had been a favorite for a while, who had annoyed the fifth prince for a while.

In the Zhaoyang Palace of the Fifth Prince, apart from some maids and maids, Chang Xiu and the two young eunuchs who are guarding the gate of the main hall are the most common ones to be seen. Other eunuchs hardly appear in front of the Fifth Prince except when they are doing business. .As for Li Da, the original chief eunuch in charge of Zhaoyang Palace, when the fifth prince moved into Zhaoyang Palace, he was outraged and rarely dared to approach his master. Later, Chang Xiu was waiting in front of Wen Mu. It is basically impossible to see the face of the fifth prince.

Because the fifth prince didn't like servants, usually only Chang Xiu served in front of him, even if an ordinary little eunuch wanted to curry favor with his master, he would not be able to curry favor with him, so if he got the chance today, he was naturally very pleasantly surprised.

But Rushun knew the fifth prince's usual temperament, and he didn't know whether Chang Xiu was completely kicked out by the fifth prince, or whether it was just the master's temporary temper.Therefore, he didn't dare to show any joy on his face, and even wanted to please Chang Xiu a little bit while speaking, so he only asked cautiously: "Eunuch Chang is usually on duty at His Highness's place at night, but now he has moved out suddenly. I'm afraid this place..."

"Such a big Zhaoyang Palace, doesn't it even have a place to rest? Could it be that you don't usually sleep?" Wen Mu was a little annoyed. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that this servant in front of him was very stupid. Half a minute of vigilance and response is not enough.

The masters in the palace have eunuchs or palace maids keeping vigil in the inner and outer rooms at night, in case the master needs to get up and sleep at night. Since Chang Xiu arrived at Zhaoyang Palace, he has been waiting on the night duty, although he is on duty at night. It's not an easy and broad thing, but it is a sign of the master's trust. Most people will not be able to think of it even if they want to break their heads.

Therefore, although Chang Xiu has his own room, but there are only some changes of clothes for the four seasons, and he seldom stays there. Put it in the night duty place - after all, he seldom returns to his room in a day, and he only uses his residence when changing and washing every day.

But now, Chang Xiu wanted to move outside all of a sudden, he had to tidy up his room where he had almost never slept in, even the bed hadn't been made.

"Young maidservant, let's do it now!" Hearing Wen Mu's words, Rushun hurriedly bowed and retreated, leaving only Wen Mu and Chang Xiu in the room.

Wen Mu lowered his head, and saw that even Chang Xiu's lips had turned pink and white, a row of jade teeth biting her lower lip, her whole body seemed to have lost all color, except for the red mole between her eyebrows. It was so delicate and charming that it had never been before, and it actually made that small face look so coquettish and beautiful that it had never been before.

Wen Mu's heart jumped suddenly, and he felt that the person in front of him made him have an unprecedented fantasy, as if there was nothing in the world that could be more beautiful than the scene in front of him.

Chang Xiu helped Wen Mu straighten his clothes, and called someone to bring water to wash him up. During this period, he didn't say a word, and he didn't even look at Wen Mu's face, just kept doing things. on things.

After taking care of it, he bowed and said softly "Hanxiu is leaving", then slowly stepped back and left Wen Mu's room, leaving only Wen Mu staring at him with an inexplicable expression, and did not appear again for a long while. Voice.

Early the next morning, Wen Mu woke up, only to find that Chang Xiu was already standing in front of his bed, just waiting with lowered eyebrows for him to get up and wash up.He just remembered that last night he only said that Chang Xiu would be exempted from night duty, but he didn't say anything about the normal shift.

He glanced at Chang Xiu lightly, but he didn't say anything, but quietly asked Chang Xiu to tidy up.When he was going to the Chongxue Hall, he still didn't tell Chang Xiu to leave, so Chang Xiu just followed him all the way as usual.The only difference is that along the way, both of them are silent.

The palace people in Zhaoyang Palace also felt that the master and servant had been behaving strangely since yesterday, but they did not dare to go forward to inquire, they only secretly pondered in private. It's not that he has come to an end in the palace.

In the Chongxue Hall, even the children of the royal family also found that the situation between the fifth prince and his close servants today was very wrong-the two people who usually talked and laughed, and behaved intimately, now there was still a gap between their actions. There is a tacit understanding, but there is no other word.

Even though the Fifth Prince still had his usual expression, the handsome and charming little servant who usually had a lively expression on his face was stagnant, and he really echoed the words in those idle books in the market - "just like a jade man" .

Concubine Xiao did not pay much attention to the situation in Zhaoyang Hall because she was bothered by what the Empress Dowager said these days.But after a few days, the royal children and grandchildren in the Chongxue Hall met every day. After seeing this scene too much, these individual sperm naturally knew that this little eunuch Chang Xiu had obviously disliked the fifth prince recently. The Fifth Prince waited by his side, but the Fifth Prince's attitude towards him was much colder than before.

It is most normal for these royal children to like the new and dislike the old.Although I don't know why the fifth prince didn't just change the person who served near me since the little servant was cold, but this doesn't prevent those who usually look at Chang Xiu with greedy eyes, but because of Wen Mu's strength, they don't dare The prodigal meng who moved.

Seeing this opportunity, some people got sexual, one or two took the lead, and gradually, some people began to tease Chang Xiu in the daily study.

When Chang Xiu was at home, he was originally spoiled and raised. Although his mother Si Zhi was the successor of the Liu family, she had a bad relationship with his father Liu Wenxing when he was born, and he was not favored by his father at home, but He is not lacking in the upbringing and pampering that he should have since childhood.Otherwise, when he entered the palace at the age of eight, he would still appear knowledgeable, courteous, gentle and elegant, with the noble aura of a nobleman.

It's just that the royal masters are heaven in this place where people cannibalize in the palace.Tend to fate, he had no choice but to accept his fate, and turned his self-esteem and arrogance into a cold self-love. In addition, he was extremely intelligent and very elegant and pleasing in his daily life. Even if he served others, he only acted like a She looks cute and sensible.Otherwise, how could he win the favor of the old eunuch Chang Gui and bring him by his side to recognize him as an apprentice?

If Chang Xiu had been following Chang Gui's side cautiously and learned the rules, it would be fine, but he was then assigned to the fifth prince Wen Mu's side.Wen Mu is used to being casual in daily life, and he dotes on him very much. Therefore, although he is usually obedient and flattering to the people in the palace, the self-esteem and stubbornness in his temperament, after he is getting familiar with and adapting to it, After living in the palace, she slowly raised her back.

This time with Wen Mu's self-indulgence, there is more or less the reason for this temperament, and even though Wen Mu ignored him, he didn't punish him away from his side, so he just didn't know it and kept going. Blindly following Wen Mu's side.If it weren't for this, according to his past actions, he would definitely not do such things that are too aggressive, offend his superiors, and annoy his master.

Chang Xiu lost her original wealth and upbringing, she moved her body and raised her energy, and she was doing the job of serving people beside Wen Mu, but she was pampered by her master for a while, after all, she was much more than ordinary servants A temperament that is hard to find, and because of this, those teenagers who are relatives of the royal family are more fond of teasing him.

Chang Xiu also noticed that the mood in the Chongxue Hall these days was not right. Although the person who went to school here was not his serious master, his status was different from him. He lost Wen Mu's protection and respected the nobles. Teased him but couldn't resist, so he could only ignore him with a blank expression, and followed Wen Mu more closely to serve.

Seeing him like this, since he was still in school and in front of Wen Mu, those people didn't want to be tough, but they became more aggressive and wanted to provoke him.Among them, the eldest prince Wenzhi is the most sexual.

This afternoon, taking advantage of the absence of the teacher between classes, Wen Zhi saw that Mu was reading a book, so Wen Zhi waved to Chang Xiu and told him to come over.

Chang Xiu didn't want to go, especially when he saw that there were still a few children of the royal family surrounding Wen Zhi, he was even more afraid that trouble would be caused if he went there.He looked at Wen Mu next to him, but saw that he was just staring at the book without looking up.Without his master speaking and the nobleman calling, he could only walk slowly in the end.

"I don't know what orders the First Prince has?" Chang Xiu walked to Wen Zhi's vicinity, but without approaching, she bowed her head and asked.

"I usually don't care about people, why is it so rare to let go of your airs today? Your master is willing to let you go?" Ever since he found out what happened to Wen Mu and Chang Xiu in the past few days, Wen Zhi has moved his mind and wanted to tease him. Somehow this little slave who looks icy on weekdays.

"The servant is only following the orders of the master. If the eldest prince is fine, the servant has to serve in front of the fifth prince!" Chang Xiu's head lowered even more. If anyone looked down, they would find that the expression on his face was already A piece of ice cold.

"Your master doesn't even want you anymore, so why are you showing so much face!" Seeing that his words were ignored, Wen Zhi felt that he had lost face and couldn't get off the stage, so he reached out and wanted to grab Chang Xiu, but Chang Xiu didn't He bent down suddenly and knelt down abruptly, causing the hand he swung into the air to lose all strength.

"The slaves are dead, even if they can't serve the master well, they don't dare to take half a step away from the master. Now that the slaves angered the eldest prince, they should add more crimes to their crimes. I just ask the eldest prince to let the slaves go back and let the master double the punishment. "Chang Xiu, who was kneeling on the ground, just lowered her head blindly, her whole body almost fell to the ground.

Wen Zhi was not delighted by Chang Xiu's humble actions, he was more and more annoyed in his heart, he just smiled angrily: "Okay! Good! You are indeed a good servant of Lao Wu. You have angered Bengong, so naturally Bengong Punishment. I will come here today to see if I can make you half a step away from your master!"

After finishing speaking, he was about to stretch out his hand to take Chang Xiu's arm and walk out. A young eunuch beside him saw it and also stepped forward to help the master, but he didn't want to, but was stopped by a horizontal hand.

"Brother Dahuang, why bother to get angry because of a slave. Besides, he was right. He is the person in front of the fifth brother. Naturally, he has to follow the fifth brother. It is a punishment for him. If you and I intervene, it will be the opposite." Don't give fifth younger brother face."

Wen Zhi looked at the second prince, Wen Dun, who was intervening, and the smile on his face became even stronger. He ignored Wen Dun, and Fan turned his head to Chang Xiu and said, "As expected of the fifth son's precious lump, even the second son's soul is called You got hooked up. How long have you guys been hooking up, and the fifth one doesn't talk, so why is the second one rushing to give you the lead?"

Wen Dun's words became more and more disrespectful, and he was about to refute, when he heard a loud "wow" behind him.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw that the book in the hands of the fifth prince Wen Mu and the inkstone paper and ink on the table had all been thrown to the ground, and Wen Mu himself walked out of the museum without looking back.

While everyone was in a daze, Chang Xiu broke free from Wen Zhi's hand, followed Wen Mu, and also stumbled out of the Chongxue Hall.
