Princess Shang

Seeing Steward Zhao introduce himself, An Jianxiu cupped his fists to salute Wang Xiangyan and Zi Yan and said, "I'll see you here, An Jianxiu" and said no more.Wang Xiangqing looked An Jianxiu up and down, saw that An Jianxiu was taciturn but neither humble nor overbearing, thinking about Wang Xiangqing's temperament, he probably didn't like such taciturn and paralyzed people, so he turned his head and said to Butler Zhao: "Butler Zhao , I wonder why you chose him?"

Butler Zhao cupped his hands and said: "Back to Second Miss, the younger one went to the Wei Pavilion, only to see Xiu alone, and after asking about it, he realized that there was only one person waiting for the employer to come to the Wei Pavilion at a time, and it was not the younger one who chose him. "

"Butler Zhao means that this guard can't be picked anymore? You can only hire whoever you meet?" Wang Xiangyan glanced at An Jianxiu and continued to ask. Before Butler Zhao could answer, he continued: "If that's the case, then Let him. Steward Zhao arranges a room for him to rest first, and then take him to see Xiangqing after Xiangqing has rested."

Butler Zhao cupped his hands and took An Jianxiu to the guest room.As soon as An Jianxiu left, Wang Xiangyan turned to Lianhua and said, "Lianhua, when the young master wakes up, tell him that Steward Zhao has found him a paralyzed guard." Zi Yan laughed out "puchi", really I didn't expect Xiangyan to like to describe others like this.

When Lianhua and Shisan heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched, "Well, I already have Lianhua and me here, and if there is another guard with facial paralysis, the young master will definitely be driven crazy!"

"Wang Shisan, what do you mean, you? Are you trying to say that we are not good?!" Lianhua was not happy when she heard Shisan's words. What does it mean that the young master is going to be driven crazy?Lianhua thought about herself, she was obviously a caring and dedicated maid, glanced at Wang Shisan, and twitched her mouth, "So she was saying that she was not good~"

Thirteen helplessly spread his hands, "I don't know as much as you~"

"Okay, okay, you two stop fighting, Ziyan, let's go." Wang Xiangyan directly left Lianhua and Shisan and took Ziyan and Huan'er out.

"Second Miss, Miss Ziyan, where are you going?" Wang Xiangyan turned her head, raised her eyebrows, and raised her finger in front of her lips. "Secret" Ziyan's behavior when seeing a child like Wang Xiangyan was just petting. With a smile, he took her by the hand and left the house without looking back.

Lianhua poked Shisan and said, "Thirteen, do you feel that Second Miss seems to have changed suddenly? Could it be that her temperament will change drastically if she has someone she likes?" After a pause, she suddenly remembered My young master, 'The young master seems to have changed a lot, he is not as teasing as before, nor is he as happy as before. Lianhua looked at Thirteen and asked, "Thirteen, do you feel that, Master...Master, she is not as happy as before?" Her voice became softer and her tone was indescribably sad.

"Second Miss has changed a lot," Shisan replied, thinking about the young master's words, deeds and expressions in recent days, and continued: "Young master, I am not as happy as before. Is it pressure? Or is it because you don't like being an official?" Although Shisan is sometimes heartless and often stabs the young master, his heart is still leaning towards Wang Xiang, and he always pays attention to his young master's actions and mood.

"Oh..." Lianhua sighed, knowing that the young master must be sad because of her female status. She fell in love with an unusual woman. She must be very distressed and entangled in her heart. If the eldest princess is just an ordinary person , there are not so many scruples, there is nowhere to go, the big deal is to find a strange place to live, but the eldest princess is the eldest princess after all, so she can only be trapped in Shengjing City.

"Lianhua, why are you sighing?" Shisan asked, not understanding why Lianhua was so sad all of a sudden, "Even if the young master is not as happy as before, you don't have to sigh like this."

"Thirteen, I really miss my life two months ago. I eat and drink with the young master every day. I don't need to worry about anything. I live happily every day without worry. Thirteen, I want to go back to the past." Lianhua frowned. , looked at Thirteen but seemed to be looking at the life two months ago through Thirteen, "Really, I really want to go back to the past. You see, the young master was assassinated only the second day after he became an official. I don't know if it's because of the editor's official position or because of the status of the quasi-consort, alas..."

"It's just that we can't go back to the past." Shisan also sighed, "Alas"

The two of them talked about Ai Ai for a long time, and then they realized that they hadn't eaten breakfast yet. While the porridge was still warm, they hurriedly sat down and filled it with porridge and drank it. When they were full, they also forgot the sad things they just remembered.After the two finished their porridge, they asked the other servants in the mansion to clean up, and then returned to their respective rooms, guarding Wang Xiangqing on the left and right.

Lianhua stayed in her room for a while, then began to think wildly again, thinking of the growing worry on the young master's face, thinking of today's assassination, and finally decided to go to Wang Xiangqing's room to find her.Lianhua gently opened the door, looked around and found no one around, so she quietly entered Wang Xiangqing's room.

Because of the pain of the wound, Wang Xiangqing was not asleep at all. When he heard a noise, he thought it was Murong Min who came in, but when he turned his head, it turned out to be a lotus flower. She quietly entered her room, like a thief. In the past, she had to knock on the door before entering, as if asking for a debt, "Xiao Hua, why...how did you become gentle all of a sudden?"

Lianhua stood by the window, her eyes were red, "Why are you suddenly gentle?"

"Uh, that's... that is, when you entered my room before, you always smashed the door like a woman, and then pushed it in. You didn't treat me as a young master at all... Why did you come in quietly today?" After explaining, Lianhua found Looking carefully, I found that Lianhua's eyes were red, "Xiaohua, what's wrong with you? Why are your eyes red? Have you been crying? What a child..." While speaking, she wanted to sit up, "Hiss~ It hurts." Unexpectedly, it hurts even more when I move.

Lianhua hurriedly knelt down to hold the young master, and said in a hoarse voice: "Master, you lie down properly, I... I will just squat down and talk to you." "Suffice it to say"

Seeing Lianhua's actions, Wang Xiangqing smiled slightly, raised his hand and patted Lianhua's head, and asked softly, "Xiaohua, what do you want to say to me?"

"Master, I..." Lianhua was at a loss for words for a moment, and asked in her heart: "Do you want to continue to persuade the young master not to be with the eldest princess?" '"Master, I'm worried about you."

"Worried about me? Xiao Hua was frightened by today's assassination, right?" Wang Xiangqing continued to comfort him: "Didn't Steward Zhao go to the Wei Pavilion on Hefang Street to find a guard for me? I'll be much safer with guards in the future." , Xiao Hua, don't worry."

Lianhua looked at Wang Xiangqing's injured left hand lying on the inside, and tears flowed down uncontrollably, "Master, I'm not only worried about this, Master, have you forgotten that the more dangerous thing than this assassination is your identity? ?”

"Oh..." Wang Xiangqing sighed, closed his eyes and meditated, and opened his eyes after a while and asked, "Does Xiaohua really want me not to be with Minmin?"

Lianhua leaned on the edge of the bed, looked at Wang Xiangqing, her eyes were full of worry, "Master, you once said that what you want is to die without regrets, but your life is gone, and what you are obsessed with still has meaning." Isn't it the most important thing to be alive?"

"Xiaohua, I have always treated you as a child, but I never thought that you would say such a thing." Wang Xiangqing looked at Lianhua, his eyes filled with relief, "Unexpectedly, Lianhua grew up all of a sudden. , it seems that you can get married..."

"Young master, don't try to change the subject." Lianhua was not fooled by Wang Xiangqing, and directly expressed Wang Xiangqing's thoughts.

"Xiaohua, you have grown up and can help me." Wang Xiangqing didn't answer the questions that Lianhua asked, but only said this.

"Young master, is there anything I can do for you?" Lianhua thought in her heart, as long as the young master needs her to do, she would go through fire and water, "no matter what, as long as the young master wants me to do it, I will do it for the young master." .”

"I'll tell you when I need it." Wang Xiangqing raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Lianhua's face, "Go back quickly, Minmin will come to me later." Wang Xiangqing thought that Murongmin might be there at any time. When he came, he asked Lianhua to go back to his room quickly, thinking that if Murong Min saw Lianhua in his room, he would have to think too much.

"Master, is it true that I will not be able to come to you casually when the eldest princess is here?" Lianhua felt aggrieved. In the past, she could come to the young master at any time. Although she didn't know that the young master was a woman at that time, she didn't feel scared at all. Young master, after knowing that the young master is a woman, I am not afraid of what the young master will do to her.

"I still have to be a bit cautious." Wang Xiangqing could only answer in this way when he heard the grievance in Lianhua's words.

"Okay, I see." Lianhua nodded, thinking of An Jianxiu whom Steward Zhao had found, she said, "By the way, young master, Steward Zhao went to the Wei Pavilion to invite back a guard named An Jianxiu, I heard that martial arts are very good, but people look very cold, and the second lady even called him facial paralysis!"

"An Jianxiu? A paralyzed guard?" Wang Xiangqing smiled charmingly, "Interesting."

Seeing Wang Xiangqing's charming smile, Lianhua was stunned for a moment, "Master, why did you smile like that just now?" "Cough cough" Wang Xiangqing realized that he had smiled too charmingly just now, and reminded Lianhua to come back to his senses, "Xiaohua, don't go back to the room, go and bring An Jianxiu to see me."

When Lianhua heard that the young master wanted to see An Jianxiu, she stood up and ran all the way to the guest room to find An Jianxiu.Wang Xiangqing saw Lianhua go out, so he endured the pain and sat up slowly, "Oh, I didn't expect to hurt my hand, and it's so difficult to get up." Wang Xiangqing stood up and sat at the table, and poured a cup of tea , Waiting for Lianhua to bring An Jianxiu to see him.

After a while, Lianhua came back with An Jianxiu, "Master, he is An Jianxiu." Lianhua introduced to Wang Xiangqing as soon as she entered the door.

"I'm here to meet you, Young Master." An Jianxiu looked at Wang Xiangqing slightly, cupped his fists and saluted Wang Xiangqing, "From now on, I will follow Young Master and protect Young Master."

"How long will you protect me?" Wang Xiangqing asked

"I will protect you for as long as you give me money." An Jianxiu replied neither humble nor overbearing. He didn't feel that there would be any problem with raising money at this time. Thinking that he was originally a member of the Dark Guard Pavilion, this Wei Pavilion It is the obvious property of the Dark Guard Pavilion, and it is only natural to use money to be a guard.

Wang Xiangqing nodded and asked, "Then how is the price calculated?"

"100 two months." An Jianxiu replied without any ups and downs in his voice.

"100 taels? It's so expensive, don't want it!" Wang Xiangqing heard it, and hired a guard. It costs 100 taels of silver, and I only have 30 taels of silver as an official. How can I afford guards? Pay for the guard?no!This guard is still not invited! In the end, Wang Xiangqing sent An Jianxiu away.An Jianxiu saw that Wang Xiangqing didn't intend to hire him as his bodyguard anymore, so he turned his head and left without saying a word.

Lianhua saw that her young master had taken away the paralyzed guard, and was worried about the young master's safety, so she asked: "Master, our palace is not short of money, why do you send him away!" Lianhua really wanted to send him away. Seeing that Xiu La came back, An thought it was the young master who sent her away, fearing that doing so would offend the young master.

Wang Xiang tilted his head to look at Lianhua, and asked, "Lianhua, do you know about the Wei Pavilion?"
