prince attendant

What His Royal Highness said was really perfunctory. When Mu Qing was at home, if parents and masters didn't want to answer a question, they would say that you will understand when you grow up.

But how old it is is considered a grown-up.

Mu Qing knew that His Highness the Crown Prince would not be able to answer such a question, so he resigned without talking about it. He didn't have the characteristics of breaking the casserole and asking the end, nor did he have the spirit to figure out everything.

Just going back and lying on the bed, it is inevitable that I remembered the scene in the Wutong Garden again, and I felt an extraordinarily sad feeling, maybe I felt that the punishment for the crime was so easy, and I thought, if I hadn’t insisted on going to the rockery Illumination, perhaps also undetected, can get away with such guilt.

However, all assumptions are futile.

At dawn, the Holy Majesty passed on a decree, asking the prince to go and see him, probably because he already knew the news that the prince was going to Wutong Garden at night, so he was sent to ask questions, when the palace man who passed the decree came, everyone He was cautious for a while, and when the prince followed him out and sent the person out, Mallow sighed, and everyone in the palace was depressed, or showed a kind of melancholy.

When Mu Qing was walking down the corridor with the books in her arms, she had a clear view of all this, and when she met Mallow, she said in confusion

"Sister Mallow, why do people in the palace feel so unhappy?"

"Because His Royal Highness was summoned by the Holy Spirit."

It's not easy for Mallow to speak too clearly, so he just said

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always acted freely, but his behavior is moral, but one out of ten is not accepted by the public. The Crown Prince is an upright person, so when there is a conflict, he cannot retreat, but it is difficult for the Holy One. Such as the behavior of last night, it is the Crown Prince. , but going out on patrol in the middle of the night is really inappropriate, so the sage sent a message to the prince, probably to remind one or two of this matter, we are the people in the prince's womb, we should take the prince's happiness as our joy, and our prince's worry as our worry, and your highness will be harassed. The Holy Spirit sent a message, and we are naturally worried about it."

Oh, it's just that His Royal Highness acts perversely and never considers other people's opinions. This point, Mu Qing empathizes very much.

Mu Qing nodded in agreement, and said

"Then what punishment will His Royal Highness receive?"

mallow smiled

"Naturally, it depends on the will of the Holy One. How can we guess the heart of the Son of Heaven?"

Mu Qing: ...

Mu Qing originally wanted to say, according to the past practice, what would happen to the crown prince, but since Mallow didn't want to say more, he didn't ask.

Mu Qing went into the study with the books in her arms, feeling that she would know everything when His Royal Highness returned.

However, Mu Qing had not waited for His Highness the Crown Prince to come back, so he first waited for the Queen Mother's order to announce that he and Mallow would go to the palace for a talk.

Talking is a very mysterious word in the palace. It should be known that the queen mother, concubine, sage, and prince should talk to the palace people, explain things, and order directly. Even if they want to buy people's hearts, they also need to use things like caring Words, what to say about your own words, or gossip, just say, come and talk to me for a while.

In any case, there is absolutely no need to talk about this word. Talking about it is based on the equality of the two parties, or maintaining a balanced posture. However, the status of the Queen Mother, no matter what, will never be equal to Mu Qing and Mallow.

Therefore, when Yi Zhili said to ask them to go over and have a talk, everyone was surprised, Mallow was also very dignified, and only took Mu Qing over when he repeatedly confirmed that both of them should go over.

Mu Qing also felt the ominous mood, after all, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

The Jingsi Hall where the Empress Dowager lives is surrounded by sandalwood all the year round, which makes people feel peaceful and peaceful. The curling smoke rises, and there is also a peaceful atmosphere.

But today is not destined to be peaceful.

Queen Mother said

"Mallow, how many years have you been with the prince?"

mallow replied

"It's been more than five years."

The empress dowager said slowly

"It's been five years, since you came to Ai's house, it's also been six years. You should still remember why you were chosen to serve in Yangxiu Palace."

Mallow immediately leaned down and said

"It's because the slaves neglected their duties and failed to warn themselves at all times to comfort His Highness the Crown Prince, and also made the Empress Dowager worry. I beg the Empress Dowager to forgive me."

Queen Mother said

"Your dereliction of duty today was just to let His Royal Highness see dirty things. If you dereliction of duty in the future and let the prince meet bad people, can the consequences be borne by a sentence of dereliction of duty?"

Mallow just bowed her head low and said

"It's the servant who is slack, please punish me."

"That's it."

The Queen Mother sighed and said,

"At the beginning, because you were the smartest and fit Yang Xiu's eyes, you were assigned to be on duty in Qifeng Palace. I hope you can comfort the prince. I don't want to see this matter again. You Go down first."

Mallow glanced at Mu Qing, who was kneeling beside her, and wanted to say something in her heart, but in front of the Queen Mother, she had just scolded herself, so she couldn't say it out, so she had to leave the hall and wait.

The queen mother waved her hand again, and drove out the rest of the palace people, leaving only Zijin to serve.

There was also Mu Qing kneeling on the ground.

The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea and said

"come here."

This was naturally for Mu Qing, so Mu Qing stood up and walked in front of the Queen Mother. To be honest, he really didn't understand what the Queen Mother asked him to do today, but the Queen Mother told him immediately.

"Ai's family heard that the prince went out last night, without telling Mallow, slowly, and all the people in the prince's womb, only took you out?"

Mu Qing couldn't feel the emotions in such words, so she had no choice but to answer

"Yes."

The empress dowager sneered and said lightly

"The Ai family underestimated you, and underestimated Yang Xiu's attention to you. It's really sweet to think that he can take you with him on such absurd night outings."

This seems to be a compliment, but no matter how I listen to it, I feel that it carries a deep contempt.

Mu Qing bit the bullet and said

"It is my honor to be favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"You should be grateful, otherwise you wouldn't be able to stand in front of Aijia today."

The queen mother said

"Since this is the case, the Ai family must tell you that there are some things that you should know. The prince is a person who likes the new and dislikes the old. Anyone who favors him has not exceeded three months. How much you love today will be ignored in the future. However, during this period, you must also understand your duty as a servant, and you must not rely on this partiality to be confident, overstep your status, and do something ridiculous."

Mu Qing bowed her head and listened quietly

"Yes."

The empress dowager said

"Others are serving as attendants, but they are just playing with the prince. You are the prince who is in charge of it. You just came into the palace. Since you are a attendant, you are also a personal servant. The prince's words and deeds are often capricious. You have to mention A little consolation, stop messing around with me."

He suggested something to comfort the lawless Crown Prince, he was not joking.

Mu Qing thought silently in her heart, who can control the prince, let alone she is just a servant.

And it's still a servant who, for the time being, is completely dependent on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
