Qiaohui supported Chang 'an. The servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion had been waiting at the door for a long time. They led the way in front of Chang' an and Qiaohui. Qiaohui and Chang 'an were both thinking about their own matters. Their three steps felt as long as four hours…
Qiao Hui was still regretting her foolish words. Ever since she came here, she had grown up with the young miss. The young miss had always treated her very well. Even if she counted carefully, she had never suffered in the years she had been in the Prime Minister's residence…The more Qiao Hui thought about it, the more she felt that her words had gone too far. It was as if she was complaining to the young miss-she did not know how to be satisfied.
Chang 'an didn't know how to ease the awkward atmosphere. She could see that Qiao Hui was very awkward. In her memory, she and Qiao Hui... had experienced the ups and downs of their previous life. Their relationship was not as simple as a master and servant relationship. But what was Qiao Hui thinking?
Chang 'an felt that he could guess it.
" Qiaohui," Chang An held Qiaohui's wrist." Actually, you don't have to take it to heart. We've been together for nearly ten years…We're already like sisters. There's no need for you to have any qualms."”
Qiao Hui looked at Chang An, who did not expect her to have tears in her eyes. Chang An raised his other hand and took out a handkerchief to wipe Qiao Hui's tears. He smiled and said,""Alright, alright, stop crying, okay? Otherwise, if Mother sees you later, she will think that I bullied you. You have to testify for me!”
Hearing Chang 'an's words, Qiao Hui burst into laughter. Her small eyes glistened with tears under the dim light, and her eyes sparkled with innocence. She smiled and said,"I have never heard of any young miss bullying a servant girl. The young miss 'mother will take care of it!”
Chang 'an saw Qiao Hui smile and felt relieved." Then our Prime Minister's Estate is different from other families! Even if my mother doesn't care, my father will definitely not let me off. He's so strict…"
Chang 'an wrinkled her nose as she spoke. She seemed to be disgusted, but in fact, she understood in her heart.
Qiao Hui shook her head, disagreeing with Chang 'an's words. She said what was in her heart,""The Prime Minister is only concerned about Young Lady, he is not really strict…Young Lady, don't you understand the Prime Minister's thoughts?”
Qiao Hui felt very strange. Why didn't Miss understand the Prime Minister's thoughts? Even she could clearly see that the Prime Minister was definitely not just strict with the Eldest Miss, especially the family law from a few days ago. If the Prime Minister had not done that at that time, the person who went to the palace to perform today would probably not be the Eldest Miss.
Perhaps, tonight, Miss…would be dancing in another identity?
The master and servant kept talking and walking. Chang 'an and Qiao Hui did not pay attention to the front. Chang' an looked up and saw her mother standing there. It seemed that she had been looking at her for a long time...
Time stopped at this moment. In the quiet summer night, the bright moonlight shone on the ground. In the darkness, one could see things clearly. Under the moonlight, even the candlelight did not seem very bright.
Her mother's thin figure stood there quietly. The lonely shadow on the ground was like a pair of shadows. She was waiting for her child to come back. At this moment, Chang 'an looked at her mother's lonely figure under the night sky. It was as if, in an instant, she had lost all her movements and the ability to speak.
"Mother, why are you waiting for your daughter here? Why don't you go in…"
Before Chang 'an could finish her words, she had intended to say that her mother could wait for her inside. There was no need to wait outside. The night was as cold as water. If she stayed outside for too long, the dew at night would also wet her clothes.
"I'm back!" The Prime Minister's wife interrupted Chang 'an's words.
In fact, Chang 'an and Qiao Hui were walking in the middle of the night when someone suddenly appeared in front of them. They should be afraid. Perhaps it was because they saw a familiar figure that Chang' an did not feel afraid.
He only felt a sense of familiarity, familiarity, and security.
"Yes, I am. Your daughter is back, don't worry…"
She walked forward step by step. When Chang 'an held her mother's hand, she felt the chill of the night and the faint moisture on her clothes...
She looked at her mother's haggard face, which had been worried for a long time, and an inexplicable sourness arose in her heart.
"Mother, how long have you been waiting here? " Your hand is so cold…" There was a hint of emotion in her voice, but Chang 'an did not notice it.
The Prime Minister's wife smiled and kept looking at Chang 'an. It had only been one night, but it seemed like a long time had passed. Especially the place that Chang 'an had gone to tonight, the Royal Palace. What if she didn't return and was left behind by the Emperor? That was what she was most worried about.
Gently tidying Chang 'an's hair, the Prime Minister's wife smiled lovingly and shook her head.""Actually, it hasn't been long. I just stood there for a while. I didn't feel that cold just now, but I do feel a little cold now…Your father didn't come back?
Chang An held her mother's hand tightly." Father will be back soon. Mother, don't worry. Go back to the house and wait."”
So, Chang 'an held her mother's hand and went inside. Qiao Hui followed behind Chang' an. She felt a strange feeling in her heart. She didn't know when it started... Hmm... It seemed like it started when the young lady fell into the well of the Cold Palace and was saved by Prince Qing. Then, she came back and was punished by the family.
From then on, Miss seemed to have changed into a different person. Whether it was the words she said or the things she did, she was completely different from the willful and arrogant Miss from before. She became gentler, more obedient, smarter, and more charming.
Although Qiao Hui didn't know what caused this, it was a good thing. After all, things were developing in a good direction. Qiao Hui felt happy from the bottom of her heart.
" That's what happened. It's very simple. No one made things difficult for my daughter…" Putting aside the unreasonable demands of the hostage of the State of Wei, she said," My daughter was really tired, and she was afraid that my mother would be worried, so she came back early.”
Chang 'an had been holding her mother's hand. Indeed, at this moment, she felt reluctant to let go of her mother's warm hands. He didn't want his mother to worry about him…
The Prime Minister's wife had been listening very carefully to Chang 'an's story. She did not believe what Chang' an said at all. She was a woman, a peerless beauty, and all the people at the banquet were men except for the singers and dancers!
The Prime Minister's wife didn't even need to think about it. Some of those men would definitely make unreasonable demands, and the Prime Minister would find it hard to refuse. He wouldn't stand up for Chang 'an. It was also Chang' an's first time to go to that kind of occasion. How could she say that she wasn't embarrassed at all?
The Prime Minister's wife frowned and smiled. She looked at Qiao Hui, who had been standing quietly to the side, and said,"Qiaohui-"
Qiao Hui looked up at the Prime Minister's wife. She did not understand why she would call her, but she still answered," What orders do you have, Madam?"”
Chang 'an did not understand why her mother called Qiaohui. She looked at her mother's deep smile and felt that things were not that simple. Her mother must be plotting something in her heart.
The Prime Minister's wife pulled her hand out of Chang 'an's hand and pointed at the teacup in front of her. Chun Rong, who was behind her, also felt very strange. If Madam wanted to drink tea, couldn't she just tell her to come? Why did he let the servant girl serving the young miss pour it?
Qiao Hui only hesitated for a moment before she came forward to pour tea for the Prime Minister's wife. She didn't know what the Prime Minister's wife wanted to do, but it was her duty as a servant.
Qiao Hui silently poured tea for Madam." Madam, the tea is ready…"
"Yes, alright."
After the tea was poured, Qiao Hui gently put down the teapot and was about to retreat behind Chang 'an City to wait…The Prime Minister's wife said,""Don't be in a hurry to retreat-"
Qiao Hui looked at Madam in surprise, wondering what she had done wrong…
"Mother?" Chang 'an did not understand what her mother was trying to do.
The Prime Minister's wife glanced at Chang 'an and motioned for her not to speak.
"What did Miss experience tonight? Tell me one by one-"
" Miss..." Qiao Hui looked at Chang 'an and dragged out the word " Miss "." You just danced a song of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix... and then..."
Chang 'an finally understood her mother's intentions. She suspected that she only reported the good news and not the bad news, so she asked Qiaohui. However, in front of her, Qiaohui probably wouldn't talk about the things that she had experienced.
"Don't hide anything!"
Speaking of which, it was really the first time that Chang 'an had seen her mother's serious side. Chang' an felt more amused than afraid of being reprimanded by her mother.
"Mother, why are you doing this? You know that Qiaohui only listens to me. If you want to know something, you can just ask your daughter. Why do you have to make things difficult for Qiaohui!"
"Ask you? When I asked you, you only said that everything was fine and that there was nothing to worry about! But what was the truth? Was it really like that? Mother is someone who has been through this before, so she knows a lot more than you do…"
Chang 'an picked up the teacup on the table and offered it with both hands. He smiled apologetically and said,""Mother is really angry? I just feel that there's no need to let mother know about those things. If I know, I'll just worry for nothing…"
She had accidentally said the words 'worry for nothing' and since she had already said it, how could the Prime Minister's wife not understand?
She frowned and looked at Chang 'an with dissatisfaction." You really have something to hide from Mother! Chang 'an, Mother always thought that you had grown up, but now it seems that you are still a child…"
The Prime Minister's wife felt a little disappointed because she couldn't gain her daughter's trust, or perhaps it was because of something else that she couldn't say…It was hard to say.
" Real growth shouldn't be like this…"
