prince attendant

Mu Qing carefully recalled her daily behavior, and felt that apart from occasionally feeling that His Highness the Crown Prince was in a very good mood, he would relax a little bit, and the rest of the time he still behaved according to the rules and did not behave too much, so he was slightly relieved. He told himself in his heart that he should not do those Passover things any more.

So intentionally or unintentionally, he avoided His Highness the Crown Prince, not wanting to be so casual as usual, Mu Qing was afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince would see something, and he didn't know how to answer, because he would always be tricked by His Royal Highness, if he was caught by the Prince If His Highness finds himself entangled in such a matter, he may be laughed at. Mu Qing has no way of guessing His Highness the Prince's mood, but when he assumes such a scene, the first thing that comes to mind is His Highness's smiling face. Not a smile but a mocking smile.

But His Highness didn't know whether he didn't care or deliberately ignored Mu Qing's estrangement, so he didn't respond at all, and didn't ask him what happened, as if he really didn't notice Mu Qing's change.

And I don't know if it's Mu Qing's delusion, he always feels that the prince is deliberately not taking him with him when he goes out, although His Royal Highness usually doesn't ask him to follow him when he does everything, but he can feel what His Royal Highness is doing matter, but this matter is hidden from oneself.

This made Mu Qing feel a little disappointed and disappointed. On the one hand, he was relieved that His Royal Highness did not find his abnormality. He didn't respond to the suspicious alienation, and put a lot of thought on him. It seemed that he really didn't care about himself, but just regarded himself as an obedient bird.

Mu Qing recalled the conversation between His Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Chaoyang many years ago. He could not forget that His Highness the Crown Prince compared himself to a pet. In fact, there is nothing wrong with being an obedient bird. It's already a life that many people can't ask for.

But he is not a bird after all, even though he thinks his mind is peaceful, he will occasionally worry about gains and losses, but he never reveals it. He is very obedient and restrained, and understands His Royal Highness's preference for being quiet and decent, and occasionally being harsh. That quiet silence fits perfectly with His personality matched, and the occasional bad taste was within his acceptable range, so he became a prince attendant who would not get angry or show any emotion with peace of mind.

He hopes to keep pretending like this until the day when His Royal Highness alienates him and doesn't need him. However, before that day comes, there are always people who want to test his bottom line and make him wake up. Such a disguise is not his own heart. Well aware, self-righteous, reserved and decent, in fact, everyone can see that it is just the connivance of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Since His Highness the Crown Princess met Mu Qing, she seemed to be interested in him, so she sent someone to invite him to her courtyard. In order to avoid suspicion, Mu Qing always declined, or simply said that she would no longer, and then went to After being busy on the mountain for a while, he forgot the princess's invitation, so he even forgot this kind of thing.

Although summer flowers and plants are luxuriant, but there is no rain, they always wither quickly. Although it has come to the end of summer, the residual heat is still unabated. It is very hot at noon. Mu Qing suddenly remembered in Tingyun Mountain Some items that need to be brought to Tingyun Mountain are still in the Prince's Mansion, and because they are in a hurry to use them, they rush back to the mansion alone, and then they are blocked on the road by the maids of His Highness the Crown Princess. Qing had no choice but to follow the past to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Princess.

It was noon, the sun was strong, and Mu Qing was dizzy from the sun. He hoped that His Highness the Crown Princess would call him over only when he was new. However, when he went in and saw that the hall was full of dishes, he knew that he could not immediately just left.

Sure enough, when Her Highness the Crown Princess saw him coming in, she immediately stood up, and even walked over to welcome him in. This made Mu Qing really fearful, took a step back, and hurriedly saluted and said

"I don't know why His Royal Highness called Ruyu here?"

"Can't I call you here?"

Xilinjue looked at him angrily, and said

"I tried to find you in vain several times, the prince is really stingy, don't you even want me to see you?"

Mu Qing felt a little speechless, so she had to say

"This has nothing to do with Your Highness..."

Xilinjue narrowed his eyes and guessed

"That's because you didn't want to come to see me on purpose. Could it be that I'm some kind of scourge that keeps you from approaching me?"

Mu Qing quickly said

"It's absolutely nothing, Your Highness the Crown Princess."

"Since that's the case, you can have dinner with me at noon today."

Xilinjue turned around and entered the hall, sat down on his seat, and signaled Mu Qing to come into the hall with his eyes, telling him to sit down and eat.

Mu Qing still wanted to refuse, saying

"His Royal Highness the Crown Princess is the master, and Ruyu is the servant. Above the rules of etiquette, they are not allowed to eat at the same table."

But Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess immediately changed her face, and said in a cold voice

"I knew that the people in your prince's mansion looked down on me. You looked respectful to me, but you didn't take me seriously. You kept calling your highness the princess, but you didn't even intend to obey my request. , can it be regarded as a respect to me?"

It's just that Mu Qing saw that the seats were full of delicious food, but he didn't have any appetite. He never ate much at noon in summer.

Bitter summer is a helpless thing, and there is no way to correct it for so many years, not to mention that the Prince’s Mansion has everything, there are all kinds of iced fruits and specially made ice porridge so that he can eat whatever he wants, so the symptoms of bitter summer When it was so serious that he couldn't eat, His Royal Highness didn't care about him—at most he would make fun of him, but let him go.

However, it is obvious that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is not a conniving person like the Crown Prince. Seeing Mu Qing sitting on the chair, she didn't understand, so she smiled slightly and said

"Why don't you eat the meals specially made to entertain you?"

Mu Qing bowed her head towards her and said

"His Royal Highness, please forgive me. I really don't have a good appetite today. I have already eaten some food, so I don't feel hungry at the moment. Why don't you ask me to drink a cup of tea, Your Highness."

He was really thirsty.

Her Royal Highness laughed and said,

"What if I insist on you eating?"

Mu Qing: ...

Mu Qing wanted to say something, but Her Highness the Crown Princess didn't listen to his excuse, and just said

"If you don't take it today, don't go out of this courtyard. Could it be poison that killed you? Even if it is poison, since you think you are a servant, then I order you to eat it. This medicine will ruin your stomach, and it won't kill you." Your reasons for refusing."

In the end, there was absolutely no room for Mu Qing to refuse.

Mu Qing was really helpless, he had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks to eat some delicious food, but it tasted like chewing wax. It was a symptom of bitter summer, and it was better to be hungry than to be full. He had no appetite at this moment Coming to eat these delicacies is not to enjoy but to suffer, but being looked at by His Highness the Crown Princess's firm and undeniable eyes, I can only fill my mouth.
