In the courts of Nanyue State, only the left-handed Dong Jun was able to compete with the capital Yunhe Xiao, but the Xiao family was a hundred-year-old eminent family, who had two empresses and two noble concubines, while the left-handed was born in white, so Yunhe Xiao was absolutely the most profound courtier in the courts of Nanyue State.
As the foremost scholar and the model of literati in the world, Yunhe Xiao attached great importance to his reputation. So he did not marry many wives in his whole life. There were only two wives. He had one son and one daughter with first wife in the big house and two daughters with second wife in the second house.
As the only descendant daughter in the family, Shuping Xiao could be imagined in the status of the female circle in Fengqi city. With her master of chess, calligraphy, painting and calligraphy, she was known as the first talented woman in her early age, and it was rumoured that Shuping Xiao who was a talented girl was going to enter the palace sooner or later.
Was she going to enter the palace? Yueling Xiao yawned and pouted her lips. She listened coldly to the two maids in the kitchen talking about Xiao's family. She laughed coldly in her heart. With Shuping Xiao's ambition, how could she possibly like the near-puppet emperor in the palace?
When the two maids talked about it almost, Yueling Xiao stopped one of them and said, "You come and help me get something."
The servant girl cautiously saluted. Walking with Yueling Xiao arrived at the remote area, Yueling Xiao asked, "I will ask you something. If you answer well, the silver ticket will be yours."
The servant girl glanced at the face on the silver ticket, and her eyes were bright. She could hardly hide the joy on her face. "Miss Xiao, just ask please, I am your maidservant. I will answer your questions all about I know everything they say."
Yueling Xiao nodded and looked slightly contemptuous. "Did you get through the soup in the kitchen after everyone settled down last night?"
The servant girl thought carefully, and then she shook her head. "This post is not big, so the kitchen is usually managed by me and two other sisters. After yesterday, when the prince of Xuanwu came in, there was a special cook who came to the kitchen to handle the diet. Although I didn't touch the diet, I was waiting in the kitchen.
"Think about it carefully? It was really not?' Yueling Xiao could not believe it.
"Really no, I used to work in a big family, but also for the master's got through the soup, the soup would boil for one or two hours, if boiled in the post station, I has no reason not to know." That servant girl said yes.
Yueling Xiao was silent for a while, gave the silver ticket to the maid, and then waved her away. The prince did not give the woman the soup? This is impossible for Yueling Xiao.
Smoke curled in the kitchen, and the station was quiet in the early morning. Only the smell of food coming from the kitchen gradually spread.
Mengying Lin got up just because she smelled the fragrance of the food. She arranged her clothes and went to Yisheng Lin's bedside. She saw he seemed to sleep very heavy. She didn't want to wake him up. She was trying to turn around, but Yisheng Lin suddenly opened her eyes.
"I woke you up?" Mengying Lin asked with a smile.
Yisheng Lin shook his head in dismay and did not speak. He would not let her know that he had not slept all night.
"Come on, I'll take you to have breakfast." Mengying Lin did not care about his silence. Moreover, she knew what he was thinking. In order to survive, he would try not to annoy the "master", though Mengying Lin never saw him as an object.
But because of the long oppression, this six year old child learned to be patient and careful. When Mengying Lin once was bullied by her classmates, was she exactly the same as him?
Mengying Lin helped him dress, took his hand out of the house and headed all the way to the kitchen. Although it was still early, the people in the post station were already busy.
The carriage troop would only stay at the post station for a short time. It was said that after breakfast they would be on their way again, so many soldiers were already packing up.
For Mengying Lin who wandered between the posts, almost all the soldiers chose to ignore her, and even more, they would directly show their contempt on their faces.
To this situation, Mengying Lin's response was to straighten her waist and walk calmly, while Yisheng Lin, who had no sense of security at all, felt the unfriendly eyes around him and buried his head even lower.
"Stop"
A sudden whisper came from a distance.
Mengying Lin looked up and saw two women standing under the hibiscus tree in the distance. One of them was the one who stood outside the carriage last night and saw her in confusion.
Maybe she felt a little ashamed. Mengying Lin blushed unconsciously, but after all, she did not release the holding of Yisheng Lin's hand.
"What do you want to do?" Mengying Lin pulled Yisheng Lin behind her and unconsciously posed as a protector.
Shuping Xiao came with Yueling Xiao slowly. Every step of the jadeite step on her head slightly collided to produce a pleasant bell sound. That kind of jadeite step, one, was enough to make an ordinary family life for several lifetimes.
"My sister, please don't worry! We have no malice. We just felt that you had worked hard to serve our prince, so we have prepared some gifts for you." Shuping Xiao smiled softly, and her gestures were all elegant models of a great lady.
Unfortunately, such gentleness fell into Mengying Lin's eyes and became an ulterior motive.
Lin Mengying was self-conscious. She was just the embarrassment of the prince's side. In the words of the prince of Xuanwu, she was nothing but a plaything. She was absolutely not worth the attention of those who lived in high places.
The two women in front of her own took the initiative to find her, though she did not know who they were, but she knew with her toes that they would never be well intentioned.
Mengying Lin was silent and took Yisheng Lin back a step. "You are too polite. I am the servant girl of the prince, and I am proper to serve him."
"Your little servant girl is really shameless to face. My elder sister says that it is a gift for you. That's for you. Do you have to be too charming?" Xiao Yueling threw aside her lips, but in the bottom of her heart she did not agree with Shuping Xiao's prudence. However, just a cheap servant girl, killing her was an easy thing. Can the prince of Xuanwu still punished her because of a humble maid
"No merit, no reward. We have something to do so that we will not disturb you two nobles." Mengying Lin pulled Yisheng Lin and went back. She really didn't want to contradict them. When people made trouble under the eaves, they always suffered from their own losses.
Shuping Xiao's face was white, but it was the first time that she met such a person who did not even cut face and effort to her. She was different from the women before, they could not stop fawning at her for fear of provoking her to anger.
However Yueling Xiao was not calm down. She caught up with Mengying Lin two steps later and sneered, "no matter what my sister sent you, you have to take it even if you don't want to take it!" Say and reach out to catch Mengying Lin.
In order to protect Yisheng Lin, Mengying Lin could not avoid being caught by Yueling Xiao's shoulder. She only saw Yueling Xiao's face show a smile, and then pulled at it violently, and opened a gap in Mengying Lin's shoulder clothes.
