The reborn prince's little palace maid in the apocalypse

Chapter 72 Before the New Year’s Eve Banquet-Shu Family (3)

Shu Liuyun wore a gray-pink tangled embroidered jacket with a skirt of the same color underneath. This kind of home skirt is made of thin cotton batting, which is very convenient for sitting and lying in the house in winter. The bun on her head was very loosely combed, with only two white jade hairpins with orchid heads inserted diagonally, and white jade earrings also made of orchids. There was a sense of romance in her every move. Her hair color is a little light, and her eyebrows are also a little light. It can be seen that they have been carefully drawn with a black pen. Although her appearance is not stunning, it can be said to be dignified and beautiful, but her eyes are a little narrow. , there seem to be thousands of styles in it as the autumn waves are turning. The apricot face and peach cheeks are like a pure spring mountain, and the delicate willow waist is like a begonia in the drunken sun.

She sat on a back chair next to the window on the second floor and opened the window a small crack. He rested his chin on his hand and looked at the red plums outside the window with sadness. The house behind her was not as desolate as a snow cave as a whole, but many bright colors could not be displayed. The house is mainly purple, supplemented by some green, gray and blue colors in other places. In this cold winter day, there seems to be a sense of desolation in the house. Only the fire in the room was red and crackling. It brought a strong warmth to the room.

Perhaps the maids were afraid that the fire in the room would be too hot and stuffy, so they placed a half-person-high fish tank with a white pomelo bottom and a landscape pattern not far away. The water level in the fish tank has dropped a bit in the past few days. At this time, there are two maids, one is filling the fish tank with water, and the other is wiping the fish tank on the side, and occasionally spreading some fish food into it.

Shu Liuyun didn't pay attention to what the two maids were doing. She seemed to be admiring the plum blossoms, but her eyes were empty and unconnected, and from time to time, the corners of her mouth would rise slightly, revealing an undetectable smile.

Jade and Bixi are the two first-class maids beside Shu Liuyun. They have been with her for more than ten years. Seeing the young lady's rise from glory to the current bleakness and desolation, they feel all kinds of heartache and worry about their master's situation and future. At this time, Miss Jian had been sitting by the window for a while. Bi Xi discussed in a low voice with Fei Cui whether to persuade the young lady to sit inside. The thin cotton jacket she was wearing was not resistant to the wind.

Jade said: "Finally, Miss is in a good mood these days. Let Miss sit down for a while."

Bixi said: "The wind in this winter is very cold. Although the windows are not open, the wind blowing in through this small gap is the wind! Those who get into the body the most will be celebrating the New Year. Don't Let the lady catch a cold again."

Jade curled her lips and said, "There is nothing going on in our courtyard during the Chinese New Year. I heard that everyone has to go to the palace this year, and we can't gather at home on New Year's Eve. But until now, no one has sent a message to our courtyard. , I probably won’t let our lady go either.”

Jade's voice said the last sentence very quietly, but even so, Bixi still hit her lightly with his elbow, which meant that he should be careful about what he said, and the lady would be sad if she heard it later.

Jade was shocked by Bixi, and immediately raised her eyes to look at Shu Liuyun. Seeing that she didn't look at him and Bixi at all, but still sitting there in a daze, she sighed softly.

"In the first few years, when His Highness disappeared, the Empress wanted to let the young lady live in the palace every day. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also often came to visit our young lady. The young ladies from other palaces came every now and then, either to send things or to post posts. But these two No one comes more and more every year. From time to time, the Empress will send someone to pay a little attention. It’s probably been more than two years since His Highness the Crown Prince has shown his face. Back then, he called me “sister” or “sister” so dearly. Nowadays, I may not even remember who our young lady is." Jade had already collected the water, took the fish food from Bixi's hand, and complained to Bixi in a low voice while feeding it.

Listening to what Jade said, Bixi became more and more outrageous. She quickly cut off her words and said, "Why are you so crazy? You can say that to His Highness. Besides, His Highness and the young lady are getting older every year." , how is it possible that you still come to our lady from time to time? You are trying to trap our lady into injustice."

"I didn't. Don't talk nonsense. What I mean is that the prince who was the eleventh prince back then had such a good relationship with our young lady. Although our young lady is not in trouble now, her life is indeed a bit difficult. It’s difficult. If His Highness the Crown Prince can say a few nice words to our young lady in front of the Queen Mother and the Queen, then our young ladies can live easier and faster, right? Who said His Highness the Crown Prince would come to our place." Jade hurriedly explained to Bixi.

"Okay, stop talking."

Shu Liuyun actually heard the conversation between the two maids. Regarding Yan Sinian, she had indeed only regarded him as a beautiful and well-behaved younger brother. In the Shu family, she is his cousin, and in the royal family, she is his future eldest sister-in-law. Therefore, the relationship between the two people has always been good. When Yan Hongyang had an accident, Yan Sinian held her hand and told her that as long as he was around, no one would bully her. Although she has not seen Yan Sinian much in the past two years except for New Year's gifts, it does not affect her life. She originally didn't care as much as Jade. But she has been a little worried these days.

She was the eldest daughter of the Su family, and she had been pampered and pampered since she was a child. When she was two years old, she was directly assigned to the then crown prince Yan Hongyang as the crown princess. She has been taught etiquette since she was a child. Every word, every move, and every move she makes is learned according to the Queen's standards. I can say without shame that the skills she uses are no worse than those students who study hard and wear inkstones.

She never dared to make any mistakes, for fear of losing the face of the Shu family and Prince Yan Hongyang. But unexpectedly, before she could marry into the East Palace, His Highness would disappear. And she suddenly changed from a proud phoenix among the noble ladies of aristocratic families to a drowned pheasant. Although no one dares to ridicule him openly, he has become a person with no future. Who will be on good terms with him? From a crowded place to a deserted one in just a blink of an eye.

She originally thought that she would be useless in this life, and in the end she would just be an ancient Buddha with a green lantern looking at the dawn, or a wisp of fragrant soul returning to the underworld.

But she didn't expect that at the beginning of the month, she would receive a personal letter from His Highness Yan Hongyang. The letter expressed his longing for her, and it was the first time she knew that His Highness had such deep affection for her. (She also didn't think about it. She was ten years old when Yan Hongyang lost it, so he could have had feelings for her.) She recognized that the words on the letter were Yan Hongyang's. Back then, His Highness even wrote a calligraphy sticker for her to use on the red lines. This word, like his person, reveals such gentleness and elegance.
