prince attendant

Mallow and Mu Jiuhan winked, and had told him earlier that they wanted to salute the prince when they met the prince. Although Mu Jiuhan was very reluctant in his heart, he had to kneel down to pay his respects under the eyes of everyone. He knelt down for the first time. Others, even Crazy Wang, didn't get this kind of treatment, so they felt a little uncomfortable.

Mu Jiuhan knelt down and said

"Mu Jiuhan has met His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness is blessed and safe."

His head was hanging on the ground against the cold stone slab, but he didn't hear the prince calling him to get up. Looking sideways, he saw the so-called prince wash his hands and face, and went to look around under the plum tree before he swayed up the steps and walked away. After passing by his side, he stretched out his hand and smiled again.

"What are you doing, get up, here with me, there are no outsiders, so there is no need to perform this great gift."

It should be to pull him up, but he didn't bend down, just stretched out his hand to make a show.

Mu Jiuhan thanked him, and stood up straight, with his head down, indifferently, acting cautious and frightened.

The prince saw his low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, then chuckled lightly, went into the hall first, and then announced him in.

"I don't know your name yet—is your surname Mu?"

The prince sat on the main seat and asked casually.

The father-in-law announced the decree at home and named him by name. If he said he didn't know the name, who would he lie to?

Mu Jiuhan slandered while replying

"Mu Jiuhan."

His Royal Highness then said

"Mu Jiuhan—it's a good name, but is there a word?"

Mu Jiuhan replied:

"People from the countryside only know how to write their names."

What's more, ordinary people don't take characters, only the children of high-ranking officials and noble families have characters since they were young, and then scholars also take characters after they are crowned. As for people like Mu Jiuhan, they have never considered this matter.

The prince laughed

"Then do you know what my name is?"

Mu Jiuhan inexplicably raised his head and glanced at him, facing those smiling eyes, immediately lowered his eyebrows, and said in a low voice

"I don't know."

The prince asked one sentence at a time, and Mu Jiuhan answered one sentence at a time. Although the prince did not show any emotions, he himself felt impatient for no reason.

"Then you have to remember clearly."

The crown prince smiled and said:

"My palace name is Ji Yi, and my style name is Yangxiu. From now on, you only know these few characters, so you don't have to worry about other things in this palace...I met you by chance that day—do you remember me?"

Mu Jiuhan replied again

"remember."

Ji Yi nodded in satisfaction and said

"That's good. That day I saw that you were not sad or afraid, but your bones were so strange - I have a predestined relationship with Bengong. Now that I am interested in cultivating you, I will be of the same heart as Bengong in the future."

Mu Jiuhan: ...

The bones are strange - what is the reason.

The corner of Mu Jiuhan's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything to save face.

He knew very well that this was not an alley where he could make jokes. This one in front of him could get him into the palace with just one sentence, so there was no way he could refute it.

While talking, another court lady came in to serve tea, saying that it was newly made tea, which seemed to be an illusion, the prince seemed to be in a better mood, and said with a smile

"Drink tea."

Mu Jiuhan didn't know what this person was up to. Although he was very indifferent, it seemed that he really didn't intend to target himself. Maybe he thought too much, but it was just bad luck.

Holding the cup, he took a sip of tea without paying much attention.

Lotus fragrance, bitter.

It was the last thought he passed out.

Ji Yi sat there, still smiling slightly.

"In less than half a quarter of an hour, the effect of this blindness is far beyond my expectations."

A servant came in quietly from outside the door, and Ji Yi ordered without raising his head.

"Take him back, don't forget to get his clothes tag, there is no rush for the emperor, he has a lot of things to do every day, so don't bother him."

Mallow, who was standing aside, sighed softly. This talent came, and he was threatening like this, and he was not afraid of scaring people away, so he said:

"Your Highness, why is this so?"

She is an old man in Qifeng Palace, and she can always say a word or two more in front of Ji Yi than other people.

Ji Yi smiled slightly

"I am happy."

Such willfulness makes people speechless.

It was already a day later when Mu Jiuhan woke up again.

It was early morning at that time, he felt weak and groggy, the shadow of the candle flickered in front of his eyes, he moved his fingers, and felt that the quilt under him was unexpectedly smooth.

Could it be that mother has changed to a new bedding?

The next moment this idea came out, he sat up immediately as if someone had stabbed his back, and then stared blankly at the patterns on the quilt.

The white bead and jade curtain beside the curtain shakes the light gauze curtain one after another. Outside the curtain, people can be vaguely seen walking, but the footsteps are light and there is no sound.

This is--

Royal Palace.

Mu Jiuhan let out a long breath, covered his face with his hands, and slowly remembered what happened before he passed out.

that cup of tea.

Damn.

No matter how dull he is, he can still feel this little malice.

Mu Jiuhan sat up, lifted the quilt, and opened the curtain again. Sure enough, there were two older sisters cleaning the utensils outside. When he saw him wake up, he smiled at her. One of the maids saluted him and retreated out again. .

Mu Jiuhan stood up staggeringly, and before he had taken three steps, he rushed in and looked at several women who were a few years older than him, all wearing the same clothes, those who arranged the food plate, those who carried the copper basin, took Those with towels, those with clothes, those who come to undress...

It was very orderly, but Mu Jiuhan was at a loss as to what to do.

"Etc., etc--"

Mu Jiuhan avoided the girl who was about to take off his clothes. It was the mallow that day. When mallow was about to take off his quilt, Mu Jiuhan almost jumped up, clutching his clothes, looking at her, very uncomfortable to say

"What are you doing undressing me?"

Mallow laughed

"Change clothes for Mr. Mu."

"I can wear it myself."

Mu Jiuhan clutched his collar and whispered

"This……"

Mallow snorted and covered her face with a smile, saying

"Is Mr. Xiao Mu afraid of slaves? That's not okay, other places are not comparable to the palace, so you have to follow the rules."

"Is there any rule that you can't wear your own clothes?"

Mu Jiuhan obviously still wants to struggle. Two or three years ago, he was in his own room, and he dressed and combed his hair by himself, but now he is in a strange place and let a stranger come to undress him. He has no blessing.

Mu Jiuhan was desperate, and he was always not used to it. Not only was he not used to it, Mu Jiuhan thought, he had to find a way to go back.

But he couldn't help him, Mallow was smiling, and had already turned him around in the clothes, Mu Jiuhan still felt uncomfortable, the cool breeze would have touched his skin, Mallow had helped him put on the clothes, and only Button up Ruyi button.

At this time, another palace lady wearing a smoky blue dress that stretched the floor walked in from outside the house, stood at the door and looked at it for a while and said with a smile

"Xiao Mu is shy."

After hearing the sound, Mallow raised her head in surprise and smiled at the girl standing at the door.

"Sister Zijin, why did you come here? I'm rude, I'm rude."

After saying that, he saluted him, Zijin waved to her, then looked at Mu Jiuhan and said

"Is this the person chosen by the prince himself?"

mallow pavement

"Exactly, it's called Mu Jiuhan. His Highness is saying that he learned the rules for a few days before taking it to the empress dowager."

Zijin smiled.

"That's exactly what I want to talk about. Let these little girls take care of things like dressing, come here, Mallow."

The maids responded, and took over the work in Mallow's hands. Mallow tidied up Mu Jiuhan for the last time, and asked him to wash and eat, and then went to the outside room. Mu Jiuhan originally wanted to ask about the coma, but Seeing that she didn't mean to mention this matter, she must have ordered it.

He closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, then dismissed the thought, and just remained silent, feeling more and more depressed.

After Zijin went out, he stood on the porch and looked at the flowers and plants in the garden. The flowers and plants in the Tai's uterus have always been more lush than other palaces, but it's just that the autumn has been cold recently, and the flowers and plants in the yard are covered with hoarfrost. , and many more, nearly withered.

When Mallow came to her side, Zijin said

"I see how there are more new faces than when I came last time?"

Mallow only fiddled with the flowers and plants at Zhan Dao's hand once or twice, and replied

"These were moved from the south. I didn't know why they kept fighting a few days ago. His Highness went to watch and take care of them carefully. After all, they survived. It's very gratifying."

Zijin sighed and said in a low voice

"The prince is really worrying. Why do you still put your mind on these playthings every day? Although you don't miss your homework, but seeing that the princes below are all grown up, the queen is not here, and the prince doesn't pay more attention. Isn't it worrying?"

Mallow just smiled and said softly

"Zi Jin, you think too much, our Highness is not someone to be bullied, don't worry."

Zijin stretched out his hand and tapped her forehead, and sighed.

"Little Hoof, who do you think I am worried about?"

Mallow just smiled, but didn't answer.

Zijin was originally a maid from the same group as Mallow, who stayed together day and night, and after a long time, she found that her family background was similar and her temperament was similar, so she naturally fell in love with sisters.

Zijin is intelligent by nature and flexible in hands and feet. Her family buys medicinal materials, and her grandfather is a well-known doctor in the region. With his first-hand massage techniques, he was brought along to serve the Queen Mother early. To the second one is now even more caring person.

Mallow was originally one year behind her, and she came to serve in front of the emperor, but she was just arranging utensils, and she was assigned to the prince's errand five years ago. But he still puts his mind on these useless things. Although all kinds of homework are not left behind, it is still worrying. The princes are growing up, and there is no guarantee that there will be no troubles in a few years.

It's just that it's not their turn to care about it. Zijin sighed, only for the future of her sisters. Mallow knew her thoughts and smiled indifferently. She entered the palace because there were many children in the family. I didn't have any excessive thoughts about eating, I just thought that I could be released from the palace when I was old, and then I would help the family with some work and find a good family, so I never thought about being on duty in the palace in the future.
