Although Song Xiaobei did not go to work, she was busy every day. Apart from working out, reading was a compulsory course. Occasionally, she would use a brush to write Song Xiaobei's three words, which made King Leng laugh. These words were too hurtful. Song Xiaobei gave up on using the brush, thinking that if she saved someone in the river one day, she might be able to go back, so she did not plan to practice her calligraphy. She wrote with a quill in a thin golden style, which made Gao Xili look at her in a different light.
When Song Xiaobei was free, she would work with everyone. Sometimes, she would go out with Linglong and Xiao Ming to buy some delicious food to comfort everyone. She also found that there were very few history books in the residence and bookstores.
One day, after the court session, Gao Xili could not wait to return to the residence, but he was pulled back by Gao Ximeng.
"The Fifth Prince, who has always had a cold face, I saw his smile just now. What's the good news?"
"Nothing."
"Absolutely impossible."
"Little Seven has been observing Song Xiaobei for two days. She is currently living in Prince Li's residence.”Gao Xili was pestered until he had no choice but to say it.
"Let's find a place to have a good talk with brother.”
Gao Ximeng was very happy. He pulled his good friends Shangguan Yu and Gao Xili into the teahouse.
Gao Xili recounted the entire story of their meeting from beginning to end. Shangguan Yu was overwhelmed with emotions and did not say a word. Gao Ximeng was so shocked that he forgot to close his mouth.
"Let's go, let's go. Little Seven has to thank Fifth Sister-in-law properly.”
"Fifth sister-in-law?"
"You saved my life twice. Shouldn't I repay you with my body?”
Thus, the three beautiful men came to Prince Li's residence and heard Song Xiaobei reading intermittently from afar. This performance was very different from Gao Xili's description. This made them even more curious. Everyone walked forward.
"Xiaobei, let me introduce you. This is Seventh Brother Gao Ximeng. This was the son of Duke Zhenguo, Shangguan Yu. We are brothers through life and death."
"Hello!" Song Xiaobei said generously. My name is Song Xiaobei. I come from a very far and special place. I'm temporarily staying at Prince Li's residence. You guys can call me Xiaobei. I'll call you guys Meng and Yu. I'm a bit special, I hope Meng and Yu won't make a fuss.”
Studying just now had made his head dizzy, so he could take a break.
"Xiaobei, what are you doing?" This was the first time Shangguan Yu had taken the initiative to speak to a woman, and it was the first time they had met. Usually, other than the Cold King, he was also expressionless and taciturn.
"Study hard, improve every day, and be a good baby.”Song Xiaobei said as she rubbed her temples.
The three beautiful men smiled happily.
Song Xiaobei started chatting with them. The more they chatted, the more they got along. She regretted not meeting them earlier. She realized that Shangguan Yu was very steady, like Lu Feng. Gao Ximeng was very sunny and could easily make people forget their troubles. The key was that they were all very, very handsome.
The little girl came over to pass the food.
"Dear, I think I'm full." Song Xiaobei giggled.
"Xiaobei, what's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Gao Xili asked nervously.
"Beautiful man, show! Lust! But! Dinner!" She stared at them lecherously and replied.
" Hahaha…" The three beautiful men laughed at the same time. This was a laugh from the bottom of their hearts. Even Shangguan Yu, who never smiled, felt happy.
At the dining table, Song Xiaobei's voice could be heard. She was reciting 'Liang Zhu.' After the story was over, the room was unusually quiet. You could even hear a pin drop.
"Oh my god! I was scared to death." Song Xiaobei unintentionally turned her head and saw the guards and servants behind her. The room was filled with people.
The room was filled with laughter.
Shangguan Yu had a short conversation with Gao Xili before he left the Imperial Residence. Song Xiaobei did not know the content of the message. She was taking a walk in the yard.
Gao Ximeng and Shangguan Yu became regular guests in the residence. Gao Ximeng was a good person to chat with. Most of the time, Shangguan Yu listened quietly.
On this day, Gao Ximeng and Song Xiaobei were chatting. He said what was on his mind,"Xiaobei, actually, Fifth Brother is quite bitter. The Emperor and Third Imperial Brother are Di sons. Third Imperial Brother is very outstanding. Father once wanted to make him the Crown Prince, but because his legs were inconvenient, he made First Imperial Brother. Fifth Imperial Brother is both civil and military. His father was worried that he was a threat to the Crown Prince, so he suppressed him in every way. In fact, Fifth Brother had never thought about that position. Twelve years ago, his mother died. Half a year later, Imperial Father doted on the Twelfth Prince, but the imperial physician found out that the child was not Imperial Father's flesh and blood. The mother and son were killed on the spot. Not long after, his father also passed away. He did not expect that he would leave an imperial edict for all the concubines in the harem to be buried with him. Fifth brother's mother Consort Jade was very talented and stood aloof from worldly affairs. After Lady Jade died, Fifth Brother never smiled again. That was why he was called the Cold Prince. Luckily the emperor trusted fifth brother, fifth brother was the emperor's right-hand man. In the past few years, Fifth Brother's life had been better.”
"Is your mother Lady Jade? I see that you two have a good relationship."
"My mother was Consort Zhen. When I was very young, my mother passed away and I was brought up by Consort Yu.”
"They are all people with a hard life. On the surface, they are glorious, but behind their backs, they are bitter.”
"Let's not talk about it anymore. The topic is a little heavy. Let's talk about something else. For example, Xiaobei, do you like Fifth Brother?”
"You want to know? I won't tell you."
……
The servants in the residence of King Li were all very happy. One exception was Hong Yu. She was quite pretty and had always wanted to climb up to Prince Li. However, her master was too cold and made her flinch. Now, her master's smile made her unable to suppress the wild thoughts in her heart. If she climbed into her master's bed and gave birth to another boy or girl, then the glory and wealth of the latter half of her life would be at her fingertips. She could see that her master's soul had been seduced by the woman in the residence. If she did not make the first move, she would not have any chance at all. She decided to take the risk.
"Your Highness, please have some tea." Gao Xili was in his room when Hong Yu came in with tea.
"Why is it you? Where's Xiao Cao?"
In the past, Xiao Cao and Ling Long were both his highness 'personal maids. Now, Xiao Cao was the only one serving them. Hong Yu was just a maid sweeping the floor.
"Replying to master, just now big sister Xiao Cao was a little uncomfortable, so she called this servant over.”
Xiaocao didn't know that she had drunk the tea with croton powder, which caused her body to feel uncomfortable.
"You may leave."
"This servant will take her leave." Hong Yu's eyes glanced over and saw her master reading a book while drinking tea. She was secretly delighted.
"Dear, come and help me." Just as Hong Yu left, Song Xiaobei barged in and pulled Gao Xili into her room. She sipped her tea and said," I can't read this passage well. Please save me."”
Song Xiaobei would add punctuations to every sentence Gao Xili read. The two of them were close together, and her body fragrance made him lose his mind. There was something strange about his body, and the desire in his heart burned more and more intensely. Her red lips that were soaked in tea were like a blooming flower, tempting him. He could not help but hug her and kiss her crazily.
Song Xiaobei was speechless. She saw that Gao Xili's face was red, his breathing was rapid, and his body was burning. It was very abnormal. Was he framed again?
Song Xiaobei pushed Gao Xili away with all her might and splashed a pot of cold tea on his face. She asked anxiously,""Dear, did you fall into someone else's trap?”
Gao Xili was a little clear-headed. Thinking back to what had happened, he understood eighty to ninety percent.
Before Gao Xili entered the bathroom, he told the butler,""Beat Hong Yu with fifty strokes of the cane and feed her to the wolves.”He soaked himself in the cold water, and his desire faded little by little. He missed the beautiful moment just now, but he was afraid that the smart her would leave the Prince's mansion in a fit of anger.
Uncle Blessing brought people to search the house, but he didn't see Hongyu. He thought that she had fled to avoid punishment. He went to the prince's room to get his clothes and found Hong Yu dressed up gorgeously. She was lying on the ground dreaming. In the end, Hong Yu lost her life because of her own greed. This matter was handled quietly. Not many people saw it, but some people knew it in their hearts.
In the next few days, the atmosphere in the Imperial Residence was tense. In the past, there were also maidservants who were restless and flirtatious in front of their masters. In the end, they became maids who cooked, washed clothes, or swept the floor. The matter with Hong Yu made them feel uneasy. They were afraid that their master would vent his anger on them and be chased out of the Imperial Residence. The treatment in the residence was very good. The master had never made things difficult for the servants, so they did not want to leave.
Gao Xili did not dare to see Song Xiaobei and kept finding excuses to avoid her.
On this day, Gao Xili locked himself in the study. Song Xiaobei had no choice but to sit on the floor and guard the door. It was too long, so she leaned against the door and dozed off.
Gao Xili opened the door. Song Xiaobei had lost someone to rely on. Thump! The back of his head made intimate contact with the floor.
"Xiaobei, why are you here?" Gao Xili hurriedly picked her up, brushed her hair aside and examined it carefully. After making sure that she was fine, he gently stroked her.
"Dear, why are you ignoring me?" Song Xiaobei looked at the innocent and handsome man in front of her and wanted to tease him.
" I..." Gao Xili wanted to say something but stopped.
"Do you think you're at a disadvantage by kissing me? Alright, I'll kiss you back. We're even.”Song Xiaobei tiptoed and kissed him.
The flower of love quietly bloomed in Gao Xili's heart.
Xiaobei, you don't blame me?"
"There's a reason for this. I know it has nothing to do with you. However, because of you, I fell. You will be punished."
"Alright, then punish me by tearing down this door.”
"Why are you tearing down the door? I'll punish you with three dishes and one soup."
"Understood!"
When wangye and miss came to the kitchen, the chef was in fear. Under the guidance of the master chef, the noble disciple handed the results to the person she loved. Song Xiaobei tasted it and gave him a thumbs up. She really suspected that this high and mighty prince could do anything other than giving birth. The two of them chatted and laughed, and the servant felt as if a huge rock had been lifted from his heart.
The Imperial Residence regained its liveliness. Everyone respected this young lady.
Time passed quickly, and Song Xiaobei had already stayed in the residence for half a month. She realized that reading and writing were two different things. Some words were easy to recognize, but it was difficult to write them accurately on paper. She spent more time and energy on writing.
At this moment, she was busy in the pavilion, thinking about the good of simplified Chinese characters. She looked up and saw two small heads poking out from the corner of the wall not far away. She waved her hand and two little boys ran over.
"Little naughty boy, why are you peeking? Are you afraid that sister will hit you?" Song Xiaobei asked with a smile. She missed Bao 'er and her family.
"Father didn't let us come over. He said that we couldn't disturb sister. Sister is so beautiful, her songs are good, and her stories are also good. We wanted to see her, so we came over.”One of the children said with a smile that he was not afraid of strangers. The other child seemed a little scared.
"Who is daddy?" Song Xiaobei held the child's hand and asked with a smile.
"My father is Liu Teng. My name is Liu Zifei. I'm four years old. His name is Zhao Qing, and he is younger than me. His father is Zhao Gang." Liu Zifei was still smiling.
Song Xiaobei knew that Liu Teng was a royal guard and Zhao Gang was a gardener.
"Zhao Qing, who is your mother?”Song Xiaobei asked Zhao Qing deliberately.
Zhao Qing didn't say anything. Her eyes were red and she was about to cry.
"My mother is the chef in the residence. Zhao Qing doesn't have a mother. His mother is dead." Liu Zifei whispered.
Song Xiaobei saw Zhao Qing's tears and quickly hugged him. She wiped her tears and comforted him,""Zhao Qing, don't cry. Your mother is watching from the sky. If you are sad, Mother will be sad too. His sister's father and mother were also in the sky. They liked to see their sister smile, so if their sister smiled often, their parents would be happy.”
"Really? Mother, Mother will see me?" Zhao Qing asked. His voice was very soft as he sobbed.
"Of course, your mother wants you to be happy.”
"Alright, I won't cry in the future."
"Good boy!"
Song Xiaobei brought the two children to the stream to wash their hands, cut the fruit into small pieces, and let them eat slowly.
" Under the bridge in front of the door, a group of ducks swam past…" Song Xiaobei sang as she drew ducks on the ground.
The children were attracted by the painting and the song on the ground. Zhao Qing smiled. Song Xiaobei taught them how to draw and sing.
Zhao Gang was tending to the garden. When he was done, he realized that the child was missing. He hurriedly looked for him, but he could not find him. Hearing the child's laughter from afar, she quickly ran over. He was about to bow when Song Xiaobei stopped him.
She smiled and said,"Big Brother Zhao, there's no need to be so formal." I know what you want to say. The children are cute. Let them play here. Also, you've taken good care of the flowers and plants in this garden.”
Zhao Gang blushed and left silently. This "Big Brother Zhao" almost brought tears to her eyes. Those people with status outside were disdainful of them. Once, when he took his child out on the streets, the child's hand accidentally touched a maid of a rich family. She casually slapped the child. How could he not be excited when the person who was pampered by his master really treated them as humans and praised the child for being cute?
The children were having a great time and laughing nonstop.
That night, Song Xiaobei naturally asked about Zhao Qing's mother. Gao Xili's expression was more serious. It turned out that a year ago, his mother was humiliated by a scoundrel and committed suicide out of shame. This incident caused her to sigh in pity. She also cursed out loud, scolding that bastard until he was completely mutilated.
