Situ Mantiao sat on the couch with her head propped on her hand, deep in thought. Lian Xin went to make her bed and was curious to see her like this.
"Miss, it's so late and you're still not sleeping? It's time to rest!"
Their beds were next to each other, but compared to Situ Manyao's bed, Lian Xin's bed was much more shabby.
"Lian Xin, what do you think I should give the emperor for his birthday?”
She held a white porcelain cup in her hand and played with it in boredom. Although the candlelight was not bright enough, it was still very bright under the weak candlelight.
Situ Manyao couldn't help but be distracted. These worthless gadgets from ancient times would definitely be worth tens of thousands in modern times, right?
"Young miss, didn't his highness order that the birthday gift will be prepared? You just need to arrive on time!”
Lian Xin furrowed her brows in confusion.
"If he likes to prepare, then go ahead and prepare. What does it have to do with me? I want you to prepare a gift for yourself!”
Situ Mantian looked unhappy. She felt nothing but hatred for Chu Yixuan. She did not want to have anything to do with him.
"Miss, why are you throwing a tantrum again?”
Lian Xin sighed helplessly and walked to Situ Manyao's side with a bitter face.
"I know that miss doesn't like wangye in her heart. At that time, we were in wangfu. If you were to bite the bullet and go against wangye everywhere, the one who would suffer in the end would be you alone!”
Lian Xin's face was full of earnest advice. The two of them were clearly about the same age. Why was the young miss so insensible?
Situ Mantiao heard Lian Xin's words and naturally knew that she was saying this for his own good. She was worried about him, which was why she said this.
However, even so, she was still unwilling to change her mind.
Situ Manyao naturally understood what Lian Xin was saying, but her personality was very different from Lian Xin's, so her methods were naturally different.
"Lianxin." Situ Mantian sighed heavily.
"I know that you are telling me this because you are worried about me, but you know what the young miss is doing. You don't have to worry too much, understand?”
She had always been a cold person, but because of Lian Xin's concern, her heart warmed up, and her eyes curved slightly.
"Miss is right."
Situ Manyao's bed was already made. She walked to her side and smiled."I was thinking too much."
Situ Mantiao felt gratified when she saw how concerned Lian Xin was about her.
"Lian Xin, you have to remember to protect yourself at all times in this manor. The young miss is not capable. Even though she is the princess of the Xuan manor, she still cannot protect you well.”
Even though Lian Xin had never told her about it, she naturally understood that because of her, she was often bullied by other servants in the residence.
"Young miss, it doesn't matter if I'm compassionate, but you, young miss, don't always go against his highness. If you make him angry, the one who will suffer in the end is you.”
Ever since she married into the Prince's mansion, Old Master and the rest had no intention of helping her.
Therefore, she still had to walk the path alone in the future.
"Silly girl, why are you so worried about me? The one you should be most concerned about is yourself!”
Situ Mantiao looked at Si Qing at the door and felt a surge of anger in her heart.
It was as if it would explode in the next second.
What, is she going to show me her power too?
She didn't know much about Si Qing. This was only the second time they had met.
Did he come to look for me today because he couldn't attend the emperor's birthday and was resentful?
Thinking of this, Situ Manyao felt tired.
These women were really too difficult to deal with. One or two of them had really put in a lot of effort in order to gain the favor of his highness and become the mistress of the Xuan manor.
Situ Mantiao was helpless as well. She looked at her coldly with a mocking look in her eyes.
"Madam Si Qing? Why are you looking for me so early in the morning?”
Situ Mantiao stretched lazily, feeling that the weather had made him feel good.
"Wangfei really doesn't know how to look at the time. It's already late in the morning and you're only about to get up.”
Her voice wasn't delicate. On the contrary, it was slightly rough. Situ Mantian was stunned. She sized her up a few times and felt reassured.
One look and one could tell that she was a woman from the north. She was round and jade-like, and there was a sense of heroism between her brows. It did not match her petty clothes.
"It seems that the attached Madam has a very good sense of time. She keeps nagging about my waking time every morning.”
Situ Mantiao thought of Zi Dai and Qing Luan with disdain in her eyes.
But I still didn't know that a small concubine could control me, the dignified princess consort?
"Princess Consort, you've misunderstood."
Si Qing saw Situ Manyao's expression change and slowly explained.
"You are the main consort of the wangfu and Siqing is just a concubine. How can she care so much?”
"At least you have some self-awareness."
Situ Mantian snorted coldly and walked past her.
"Since Madam Si Qing knows what's going on, then this is…"
"In the beginning, it was wangfei who misunderstood Qie.”
Si Qing said calmly. She had light makeup on her face, adding a few traces of charm to her heroic spirit. She was very beautiful.
"The reason why Siqing came to find wangfei so early in the morning was because she wanted to ask wangfei for the potted plant.”
She had previously heard from the servants that there were many potted plants planted in the wangfei's courtyard, but perhaps because the weather was too cold, none of them grew.
She stayed in her room all day long. Since she had nothing to do, she wanted to come over and ask for some.
However, he did not expect the princess consort to misunderstand.
Situ Manyao couldn't believe what she heard. She carefully observed her expression to see if she was telling the truth.
After looking for a long time, he did not find any flaws.
Situ Manyao was very confused. Was he really here to ask for the potted plant?
"Since that's the case, then Si Qing Furen can choose some.”
Si Qing seemed to have guessed that Situ Manyao would say this. She nodded and walked to the potted plants. She squatted down and began to choose carefully.
Situ Mantiao stood not far away and looked at her, her eyes filled with doubt and wariness.
She was not familiar with the people in the residence, so she could not easily define them.
Regardless of whether the person was good or bad, it was always right for her to be careful.
Thinking of this, Situ Mantiao hid the expression on her face and turned back to her room, ignoring her.
This Imperial Residence was not a good place to begin with. Everyone wore a human skin mask. She did not want to be deceived by others and did not want to be hurt by others. The most direct way was to stay away from the crowd.
Situ Mantiao listened to Lian Xin and did not prepare any gifts.
She wasn't like that and she wasn't willing to give in to someone like Chu Yixuan, but she had to consider…
She was not alone now.
No matter what, she couldn't implicate Lian Xin.
Everyone in the fu knew that his highness had stayed in the east courtyard for nearly half a month, so he was even more rude to her.
Fortunately, Situ Manyao didn't care. She rarely had contact with the people in the residence, so she didn't care how they treated her.
"Miss, I've brought the clothes for you. Try them on quickly to see if they fit.”
The Emperor's birthday banquet was held in the morning. Lian Xin pulled Situ Manyao out of bed early in the morning.
Situ Mantian felt powerless and couldn't even open her eyes.
She wasn't a person who slept so much, but since she had nothing to do in ancient times, she gradually developed the habit of lazing in bed." Miss, don't sleep anymore. If the mobile phone king sees this later, he will definitely be furious."”
Situ Manyao heard this in a daze and silently thought about what it had to do with her. When she regained consciousness, she realized that her makeup was already done.
Situ Mantian looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but praise Lian Xin for her dexterity.
Her hair, which usually hung loosely over her shoulders, was combed up by Lian Xin. She even wore a jade hairpin on her head.
Situ Mantian was curious and was about to take it down to examine it, but Lian Xin stopped her.
"Miss, if this jade hairpin moves, your end will be in chaos.”
Her face was full of nervousness. Presumably, it was very difficult to comb her hair.
"Look at how nervous you are. I won't take it.”Situ Mantian smiled faintly and looked at her hair.
"My Lian Xin is capable, unlike me who doesn't know anything.”
"Miss, what are you talking about?"
Lian Xin seemed to be really embarrassed, and her face slowly turned red.
"Miss is meant to be served by others. If you know all these, then what do you need me for?”
As she said this, her tone actually carried a hint of coquettishness.
Situ Mantian was in a good mood when she saw Lian Xin's expression, and she couldn't help but smile.
"Didn't I tell you to move faster? Why are you still dawdling here?”
Just as the two of them were fooling around, a cold male voice came from the door.
The two people who were playing in the room were stunned and turned to look outside the door at the same time.
He saw Chu Yixuan standing tall and slender, wearing a crescent-moon-colored long robe with an expensive jade hanging at his waist. It must have been given to him by an important person. His hair was meticulously combed, and he stood at the door like a jade tree.
Situ Mantian only glanced at him indifferently. If she had just arrived here, she would definitely be stunned to see such a stunning man standing in front of her.
However, deep down, she knew how ruthless and ruthless the man standing in front of her was.
"Your Highness, that's good."
Lian Xin saw that Situ Mantiao had no intention of responding to him, so she sighed silently in her heart and replied hurriedly.
Chu Yixuan grunted expressionlessly and looked at Situ Mantiao, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
However, before anyone could discover it, it quickly disappeared from their eyes.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
