Chapter 72: The Unexpected Person
Chu Xiaomeng couldn't sit still the most. There was something uneasy in her heart. After thinking about it, she still wanted to find out the news and see what the spread was.
Someone came from Prince Yan, and it was estimated that she would not be able to do her job, so her time now would be free. Chu Xiaomeng made a mental assessment and decided to sneak out of the house to test the military situation.
Originally, she wanted to talk to Eunuch Cheng, but she thought that if she talked to Eunuch Cheng, she might be grabbed and asked about last night. Chu Xiaomeng didn't know exactly what to say and what not to say.
, it’s better not to tell Eunuch Cheng first.
It is actually quite simple to leave the Yanwang Mansion. Although the Yanwang Mansion has strict rules, everyone is relatively free. After registering the reason and time for leaving the mansion, the guards can be lenient and let people go. Besides, this is still Chu.
Xiaomeng came to register for the first time and it was much smoother than she imagined.
Of course, she couldn't wear the clothes of the maids when she left the Chu Mansion, but Chu Xiaomeng didn't have much clothes herself, and Chu Qianqian's clothes were too girly, so she felt that they were a little too grand, so she took some coarse shorts from Danqing.
I wrapped myself up, took a few taels of silver, and hurried out.
There is a bustling market in the capital during the day, especially in the morning. The streets are bustling with people. Chu Xiaomeng walked into the crowd after leaving the palace, visited a few small stalls, and couldn't help but buy some gadgets. She thought
It's not easy to go out, and it seems a bit of a loss to go back empty-handed.
The owners of the small stalls are all ordinary people, and you can feel their simplicity when talking to them. It seems that it is rare to see someone as dignified and noble as Chu Xiaomeng. Seeing Chu Xiaomeng, I couldn't help but praise them.
sentence, Chu Xiaomeng took the opportunity to chat a few more words.
"Aunt, have you been working on your little stall here for a long time? I see these gadgets are very pleasant, but are they all made by you yourself?" Chu Xiaomeng held a child's rattle and shook it.
She is energetic, the smile on her face is pure and cute, and she has the image of a well-behaved and pretty girl.
The owner of the stall is a middle-aged woman with dark skin, probably caused by being exposed to the sun all year round. Her facial features are ordinary, which is a sign of the local Daliang people. When she smiles, there are some wrinkles from her cheeks to the corners of her eyes, but she
Seems more amiable and approachable.
"Yes, my stall has been here for more than ten years. If I lose this skill in my family, it will be in vain. Although the tolls on this road are getting more and more expensive, our stall has always been here.
, if we move out rashly, won’t the regular customers be unable to find them? Girl, I’m looking at you, is this your first time here?” The woman said, rolling up her sleeves, and picking up the things on the stall.
Some of the messy items were sorted out one by one.
Chu Xiaomeng smiled and replied: "Yes, this is my first time here. Aunt, since you have been here for so long, can you tell me, have you heard the recent rumors? Don't get me wrong, I just heard people say
I became interested, but I didn’t know the ins and outs. I only listened to the beginning and the end, and I was confused and confused.”
When Chu Xiaomeng mentioned it, the woman's face immediately brightened up. Chu Xiaomeng knew she had found the right person as soon as she saw it. A vendor like this who sells here all the year round must know a lot of people in the neighborhood.
Chu Xiaomeng can definitely understand that she likes to gossip in her spare time. For example, she also likes to listen to gossip.
"I heard that the girl is pregnant with Prince Yan's child, and is still a servant in Prince Yan's palace. It's a pity that Prince Yan has already been married to the eldest lady of the Chu family. He can't decide on the marriage, so he has to take a concubine.
We have to wait until the eldest lady of the Chu family has passed through. Prince Yan is such a person who attaches great importance to love and righteousness, I am afraid it will be difficult for anyone to get into the eyes of Prince Yan. Girl, give up, Prince Yan is a rare person but not something you can meet.
Although the person you seek is a good candidate, he may not be the girl's lover. A person like the girl who is good-looking and spiritual has no shortage of people to like her. If you find someone who likes you, your life will be easier in the future."
After hearing this, Chu Xiaomeng had a sad look on her face, and the worry in her heart was vivid on the paper. She didn't really listen to what was said later. All she could think about was whether this matter would have an impact on Prince Yan. She thought of the worry on Eunuch Cheng's face last night.
, obviously things would not be as simple as she imagined. She thought that no matter what, she could not bring trouble to Prince Yan. It would be great if she could do something.
"Girl...girl?" The woman's voice echoed in her ears. She didn't know how many times she called Chu Xiaomeng before she came back to her senses and nodded blankly. The woman breathed a sigh of relief, and finally
He seemed to sigh, patted Chu Xiaomeng's shoulder and comforted: "Oh! It will all pass."
Chu Xiaomeng didn't know how she walked back to Prince Yan's Mansion. She had been thinking about the impact this incident would have on Prince Yan. She relied on body memory to walk back to Prince Yan's Mansion. Her eyes wandered, and she walked in the dark.
I was still wandering on the road, and I didn't know until I reached Prince Yan's Mansion and looked up at the plaque.
The gate of Prince Yan's Mansion opened, and the guards moved to both sides. Chu Xiaomeng stood directly opposite, looking at several people walking out of the mansion one after another. Prince Yan walked in the front, followed by the few scholars he had just seen.
, and several servants accompanied him, including Eunuch Cheng.
She just stood at the gate. She could see them, and they could naturally see her. The first thing she noticed was Prince Yan. His eyes fell on her. She didn't know why.
She wanted to run away inexplicably, but in the end she still stood still on her feet and did not move even half a step away. This was probably because Prince Yan's eyes were on her for a while and then he moved away and said something to those scholars.
However, when Eunuch Cheng saw Chu Xiaomeng for the first time, he immediately stepped forward and took her aside. After watching several scholars get on the sedan chair, he turned his attention to Chu Xiaomeng.
"Little cute girl, where have you been? If you need anything, let someone buy it. Why did you leave the house yourself?" Eunuch Cheng's gentle voice sounded in her ears, and Chu Xiaomeng felt inexplicable after hearing it.
I wanted to cry, but my throat was choked with sobs, as if something was blocked there, and it was very uncomfortable to not go up or down.
