2, Chapter 2
Time passed bit by bit, and Xue Ya knelt on the soft carpet, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.
After arriving in Shangjing the day before yesterday, he was locked up again before he could catch a glimpse of Shangjing scenery through the gap in the car curtain. Today, he was pushed into the bathtub and scrubbed by several people, and then he was brought to kneel here.
Guidian Orchid Palace has carved beams and embroidered pillars, and the hanging green gauze curtains have gold threads hidden in them. There is a faint fragrance flowing between them. The color of the carpet is so pure that you can't tell what kind of animal hair it is, but there is not a single stray hair. Needless to think, it is extremely expensive.
The attendants in the palace moved lightly and walked like a cat. The palace was quiet except for the sound of people sitting on chairs turning the pages of books.
Just when Xue Ya was kneeling so dizzy, she finally heard the voice of the superior.
"May I have your name?"
When Xue Ya heard these words, she secretly pinched herself to make herself more conscious. He had been eating two bowls of light porridge every day for more than half a month, and today he didn't drink even a drop of water, so he was captured here.
"My little slave's name is Xue Ya." He Zhan Weiwei replied.
"Xueya? The name of the tea is quite elegant." The young man's voice paused for a moment, "Raise your head."
Xue Ya swallowed nervously, then raised his head. He glanced at the other person's face, and then quickly lowered his eyes.
When I met He Xulan that night, I already felt the other person's beauty. Now that I saw him in the daytime, I was even more shocked by the other person's appearance. He Xulan, who was wearing convenient light blue old clothes, was holding a book and had a calm expression. Compared to the tired Xue Ya, he was full of energy.
Like pearls and jade.
"I have a few words to ask you, so don't be vague." He Xulan said.
Xue Ya nodded sharply.
He Xulan asked about things related to the good person. When asked about the good person getting up at night, Xue Ya shook her head and said, "I don't know, little slave."
He Xulan's eyes seemed to have deep meaning, "You don't know?"
"Xiao Nu... Xiao Nu has never served me personally. When I had insomnia, I asked Xiao Nu to sing a song." Xue Ya didn't dare to lie, so she answered accurately.
"What songs are they singing?" He Xulan asked again.
Xue Ya thought for a while and picked some ditties that were worthy of the stage. At first, he also sang some obscene songs in front of the good person, but when the good person heard it, he laughed at first, and then his face gradually became serious, and asked him not to do it in the future.
Sing this song again.
Xue Ya reacted quickly, knowing that the good person wanted to listen to a more serious song, and hurriedly sang other songs. Among them, the good person liked to listen most to "Resentment".
This song is about a woman who yearns for a husband and relies on her distinguished family background to stay with that husband. However, this change does not lead to the days of a couple, but the two become resentful couples. In the end, the woman is alone all day long.
Staying in the empty boudoir, singing this song "Reflection" every night.
After saying this, there was silence in the palace.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a sound coming from outside.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
Prince?
Xue Ya quickly lowered her head.
"Pass." Whether it was Xue Ya's illusion or something else, he felt that He Xulan's voice was colder than before.
The beaded curtain swayed, and someone strode in. The young man's voice, which had not yet changed, was particularly clear and clear, "I would like to send my regards to my father."
The prince is sixteen this year, his name is Cui Lingjing, Xiao's mother, and he has a small, feminine face. He walked to He Xulan in a few steps and naturally caught a glimpse of the person kneeling on the ground. He turned his eyes around the person on the ground, saluted and said hello, and his eyes were red.
He faded and his voice became a bit hoarse, "I didn't sleep all night last night. I thought that my father must be like me, so I came here right after I got off Imperial College."
He Xulan nodded, "You are a filial person, but you still need to protect your health. In a few days, your father's funeral will be held and your enthronement ceremony will be held."
The prince said yes, his eyes were on the person on the ground again, and after a moment he said: "Father, is this person the person who served the emperor before?"
"Yeah." He Xulan said.
The prince's eyes moved slightly, and then he raised his head, "I am bold and want to ask my father to give this person to me." He did not wait for He Xulan's words, and then said, "My father left the capital a year ago, except for the princes, father-in-law and others who have been since childhood."
He is the only servant who is waiting by my side. Now it has been found out that my father has passed away and he has nothing to do with him. I miss my father and want him to serve me by my side so that I can talk about my father's past."
Xue Ya's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard the words of the prince who suddenly appeared. He thought he was dead, but it turned out that he could still turn around.
Listening to the prince's words, it seems that he is a kind man, the Holy Spirit is a great good man, and his son is also a good man.
And what kind of person is the prince? Emperor Bintian, the prince is the next emperor, more than ten thousand people. If he can serve the prince and serve people well, wouldn't he be rich and powerful?
However, in just a few moments, Xue Ya's mind had already turned to how to serve the prince well.
But He Xulan's voice made him sober up.
"You have to ask him for his own opinion." He Xulan's voice was lukewarm, "Do you want to serve the prince?"
Xue Ya paused and slowly raised his head. He looked at the beautiful young man in front of him and squeezed out a smile, "My little slave is willing to help the prince and share his worries."
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the young man looking at him changed. There seemed to be ridicule and pity in his eyes, but the eyes disappeared too quickly. Before Xue Ya could distinguish clearly, he heard He Xulan say.
"Then take the person away."
When Xue Ya heard these words, she felt only joy in her heart. She didn't care about the way He Xulan looked at him at the end. He followed the prince and his attendants out of Ningfu Palace with his head raised.
He thought about it, it would be better to go to the prince's side than to stay with He Xulan. He and He Xulan were very similar, and they were the ones who served the emperor until the end. If he couldn't save him, the other party would resent him. The prince asked him to come over, which was to save him.
Out of the sea of suffering.
He can win the emperor's favor, so it should be easy to find a way to win the prince's favor.
Thinking of this, Xue Ya secretly raised her eyes and glanced at the young man in front of her who was wearing a bright yellow python robe. The young man had a slender waist and long legs, like a vigorously growing bamboo, showing as much vitality as morning dew.
The prince's palace is the East Palace.
Because the coronation ceremony will be held in a few days, the East Palace is now noisy and restless. The maids in cloud skirts and sleeves are like fishes passing through. When they see the prince, they all stop and bow obediently.
The prince did not look at the people kneeling on the ground, walked through the corridor and crossed the bridge, and went straight to the side hall.
Xue Ya followed the prince's entourage and couldn't help but look around.
It's so beautiful here, with flowing water, lush vegetation, and everything is exquisite and luxurious. Xue Ya was fascinated by the sight, and followed the crowd's footsteps while stealing a glance at the scenery nearby.
When he was about to enter the palace, he hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and followed him into the palace. When he noticed that the person in front of him had stopped, he also stopped. Just when he was hesitating whether to kneel down, he heard a word mixed with deep disgust.
