Chapter 8 This old slave cares about the prince!
The sedan finally stopped in front of a huge mansion. Chu Xiaomeng felt that her legs were about to give out. Some of the tendons in her calves were pulsing. Chu Xiaomeng made up her mind and paced her feet.
It was of no use. She thought that it was no wonder that in ancient times, the young men from noble families had to ride in a sedan whenever they went out. After this trip, she finally got the idea.
Several bearers put down their sedan chairs and got busy, and the guards surrounding Chu Xiaomeng and Dan Qing also moved away. Before Chu Xiaomeng could stretch her arms and legs, Dan Qing pulled her clothes with a white face.
He motioned her to look up. It didn't look good, and Chu Xiaomeng was almost scared to the point of carrying it away.
A splendid plaque hung in front of the door of this mansion, which seemed to be twice as big as the Chu Mansion or even more luxurious. On the gold-plated plaque were written three Chinese characters: Prince Yan's Mansion.
Chu Xiaomeng was no longer confused now. Why did she try so hard to escape from Chu Mansion? Wasn't it just to seek freedom and get rid of the shackles of marriage? She remembered that Dan Qing told her that the person who made an engagement with her was Daliang.
King Yan of the country!
It was not dark yet and there was no sign of rain, but Chu Xiaomeng was so struck by the thunder that she was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
She thought that Daliang was not a small country, so why did she meet Prince Yan on such a wrong path? Chu Xiaomeng thought of how many times she bought lottery tickets with the dream of getting rich overnight in modern times, but she was not necessarily so lucky.
OK.
Somehow, while lamenting the fate of her life, Chu Xiaomeng was secretly glad that Prince Yan was not the fat, big-eared, greasy middle-aged uncle she imagined. Thinking of this, Chu Xiaomeng still did not forget it.
Imagine what Prince Yan looks like in his middle age...
"What are you thinking about when you look at me?" A cold voice broke Chu Xiaomeng's fantasy. When she looked back, she noticed that Prince Yan was staring at her, with a faint look on her majestic face.
It was as if a barrier had been broken through her body, and she could see her thoughts. She was so frightened that Chu Xiaomeng immediately stood up straight, took out the standard of standing in the military posture during the military training, and gave Prince Yan a bright smile that she thought was harmless.
smile.
"It's nothing! It's just that I'm short-sighted. It's the first time I saw a man as handsome, handsome and majestic as the prince. Suddenly my brain short-circuited and I just remembered looking at the prince."
Who doesn't like to hear good words? Chu Xiaomeng has been traveling around the world for so many years. With her sharp tongue, there is nothing she can't say.
Prince Yan stared at Chu Xiaomeng's smiling face for a while, then walked past her as if he hadn't heard anything, not even leaving a single syllable to Chu Xiaomeng.
Chu Xiaomeng touched Hui's nose and only dared to curse a few words in her heart, then pulled Danqing and hurriedly followed.
She secretly rejoiced in her heart. Fortunately, Prince Yan had never met Chu Qianqian and did not know that she was Chu Qianqian. She was now Chu Xiaomeng and had nothing to do with that marriage.
There were two rows of people standing in front of the palace, and it seemed that they had been waiting there since they arrived. Chu Xiaomeng glanced blatantly, and accidentally met a woman's eyes. Chu Xiaomeng also discovered that it was not just her, but
Even the man on the other side who looked like he wanted to be a consul looked at her with that strange look in his eyes.
Chu Xiaomeng immediately withdrew her gaze and stood behind Prince Yan with Danqing, looking at her nose and heart. She immediately pretended not to know anything, and she was cowardly...
"My lord, you are finally back! It has been windy and rainy these past few days. Why didn't you bring an extra coat to the court this morning? I have been worried all morning." The voice that spoke was a male's, but it sounded strange no matter what.
Yes, it was like the voices of those father-in-laws and eunuchs on TV. Chu Xiaomeng lowered her head and looked at the ground, looking around, just like her brain, she had no direction. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly speculate in her heart that this would not really make her happy.
She met one.
Soon, Chu Xiaomeng's suspicion was confirmed.
"Eunuch Cheng, the prince hasn't spoken yet. Besides, can't you say something nice?" If I guessed correctly, it was the woman who said this. Her voice was a bit dull and her tone sounded very serious.
Chu Xiaomeng secretly guessed that this person was not easy to mess with.
"Aunt Huang, I care about the prince! The prince's health is a big deal and there is no room for error! Why did I say something bad? I pray for the prince every day. I hope that the prince is in good health and everything goes well.
..." Eunuch Cheng was deeply afraid of being framed, and wished he could hold his hot heart in front of his prince, but his prince obviously didn't want to take a look.
"Cheng Quan, that's enough! Have you finished all the things I told you?" Prince Yan had a sullen face. He had obviously seen this kind of scene before, and he handled it calmly and with great effect.
Sure enough, Eunuch Cheng immediately changed his clothes and looked proudly waiting to be praised. He took a few steps back and gave Prince Yan a squeeze on his shoulders. He smiled and said to please: "Everything is done, Prince. I will follow your instructions."
Everything was done flawlessly, and there was absolutely no half-hearted effort..."
Probably because Eunuch Cheng's movements were too conspicuous, Prince Yan asked casually, as if he was not distracted: "What's wrong with your legs?"
Hearing this, Eunuch Cheng burst into tears of gratitude. If he hadn't been concerned about his image, he would have burst into tears. His prince, who was so busy with official duties, still cared about his legs, wow, this is so touching.
"It's not in the way, it's not in the way. The old slave's leg is sick. After the old slave recovers for a few days, he will soon be able to work for the prince and do things for the prince."
"In that case, come to the study later. Aunt Huang, arrange a place for these two people, and explain the rules of the house to them." Prince Yan ruthlessly interrupted Eunuch Cheng's show of kindness and courtesy.
He patted the non-existent dust on his shoulders with a bit of disgust, and then entered the house without looking back. Only Eunuch Cheng and Aunt Huang were left staring at each other. This scene almost made Chu Xiaomeng laugh.
She made a sound, but luckily she had enough patience to hold it back.
What amused her the most was Eunuch Cheng. It was obvious that he was disliked by Prince Yan, but there was no trace of frustration on his face. He took everything Prince Yan said to heart seriously and listened to what Prince Yan told Aunt Huang.
Grandma was still a little unhappy after what happened, wishing that she was the one who was told what happened.
"My lord, please walk slowly!"
Chu Xiaomeng just observed Eunuch Cheng's reaction and immediately concluded that this was definitely a die-hard fan of Prince Yan! She watched his prince leaving with eyes wide open, and did not look back until the prince's figure disappeared.
After Prince Yan left, Aunt Huang, who had been standing aside with a serious face, came over to greet them.
"You two, come with me." Nanny Huang looked at Chu Xiaomeng and Danqing, and then she said calmly.
Danqing pulled Chu Xiaomeng's hand nervously, and Chu Xiaomeng held it with both hands and patted her to reassure her. No matter what, Danqing was hers now, and she must protect her.
Before Aunt Huang could take a few steps in front, Eunuch Cheng blocked the way with his broad-minded body. Chu Xiaomeng could feel the great displeasure of Aunt Huang at this moment from behind her. Immediately
I wish I could grab a handful of melon seeds and gnaw them with the intention of watching the excitement without taking it too seriously, with a look of gloating on my face.
"Eunuch Cheng, did you hear clearly what the prince said? If the matter that the prince entrusted to the old slave is delayed by Eunuch Cheng, I don't know if Eunuch Cheng can bear it." This was neither a light nor a serious matter, and Chu Xiaomeng also listened.
I don’t know if Nanny Huang is serious.
Eunuch Cheng looked curiously at Chu Xiaomeng and Dan Qing, and ignored Aunt Huang's displeased expression, bypassing Aunt Huang and coming to Chu Xiaomeng. Chu Xiaomeng stared at Eunuch Cheng with her round eyes.
Didn't show any weakness.
"Tsk tsk tsk...it's beautiful! As expected of the prince, the two girls he personally selected are so good. Come on, my son, tell Eunuch Cheng, which of you is our prince's personal girl?" Eunuch Cheng smiled with a kind look on his face,
Chu Xiaomeng was a little confused, so she stared at him, "It's me, Chu Xiaomeng."
"Good boy! Don't worry, Eunuch Cheng will protect you in this palace. If anyone dares to bully you, just tell me, don't be afraid of this yellow-faced old woman!" Eunuch Cheng patted Chu Xiaomeng's head, feeling ecstatic in his heart.
.
He had been looking forward to hugging the little prince for many years, but his prince had always been stoic and didn't seem to have much interest in matters between men and women. If Prince Yan hadn't been so concerned about state affairs, Cheng Quan would have been really worried that his prince would have gone to the temple that day.
For this reason, Eunuch Cheng spent a lot of thought and tried various ways to send the girl to the prince's room. In the end, his prince ignored him for a long time. But Eunuch Cheng was also a person who refused to admit defeat.
Ah, besides, it is related to the life-long matter of his prince, so it is even more unreasonable to be careless.
This was the first time that the prince personally brought a girl back to the palace. Eunuch Cheng suppressed the excitement in his heart for a long time. No matter what, he felt that this was a good opportunity arranged by God, and it was not in vain for him to ask his grandfather to tell him.
Grandma prayed all day long and her hair turned gray.
Of course, Chu Xiaomeng didn't know what kind of psychological activities were going on in Eunuch Cheng's heart when he smiled kindly on his face. Now in Chu Xiaomeng's heart, she felt that Eunuch Cheng's smile was malicious and even a little scary.
Chu Xiaomeng twitched her lips and smiled happily, "Thank you for your concern, Eunuch Cheng."
Eunuch Cheng was even more satisfied when he saw Chu Xiaomeng's appearance, and wanted to ask Chu Xiaomeng to say something, but Aunt Huang didn't intend to waste any more time with him.
"Please, Eunuch Cheng, please stop wasting my time. If you are too busy, you might as well tidy up the flowers and plants in the garden into weird shapes. I don't know how many people have been frightened at night." Nanny Huang glanced at Eunuch Cheng,
