The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 28
"Xiaoguang, the princess asked you, who is Miss Qingqian?" Xiao Rong was a cheerful person, and he had only been here for a day, but he was already familiar with Xiaoguang, the servant girl who also served the princess.

"This...?" Speaking of Qingqian girl, Xiaoguang hesitated to speak.

"Xiao Guang, don't worry, the princess won't blame you, our second lady is very kind." Xiao Rong saw Xiao Guang's concerns and comforted her.

Xiaoguang raised his head and saw Ye Anran smiling at him, that smile was very kind, so he said slowly without any hesitation: "Miss Qingqian, her real name is Sima Qingqian, she is the granddaughter of the late Grand Master Sima Xian."

"Oh? Lord Sima Xian, I've read his poems, he's a very talented old man." Although Ye Anran lives in Yangzhou, but because of his preference for poems and songs, he often reads some beautiful words, which is naturally a sign of his talent The old man Sima Xian knew a little bit, but he didn't know how his granddaughter would recognize him?
Seeing Miss Er's doubts, Xiao Rong asked: "What kind of identity is she, it has nothing to do with us, but how did she know the princess?"

Xiaoguang continued: "Three years ago, Grand Master Sima died of illness. Because Grand Master Sima was the prince's teacher before he died, he sent the helpless Miss Sima here, and the prince also promised to take care of Miss Sima." For the rest of my life, at the beginning, the prince selected some dignified princes and nobles for Miss Sima, hoping to find a good family for her, but she seemed dissatisfied, and over time, the marriage was delayed. The girl actually admires the prince, otherwise she wouldn't have stayed in the palace for so long, but the prince doesn't seem to like her for some reason, and has never touched her, on the contrary, he often goes to other girls' places."

"Other girls? How many girls like this does the lord have?" Xiaorong was dumbfounded. Before she came from Yangzhou, she clearly inquired and said that King Rui'an had never married any concubine. Why did she come out of nowhere now? .

"In addition to Miss Qingqian, there are girls who are willing to stay in the palace like this, and Miss Qingqian, and Miss Xiangyi from Yirenyuan, and Miss Siyan from Yanyuyuan. There are still many of them, but they... The lord was kicked out, and some of them were executed by the lord because of mistakes." Xiao Guang lowered his head after saying this, for fear that he might say something wrong.

Xiaorong's face changed drastically: "Oh my god, it's really the same as the rumors. It turns out that the prince really likes to kill people."

"Then invite Miss Qingqian to come in." After talking for so long, Ye Anran also understood a little bit about the situation in front of the palace, and it seemed that her life would not be easy in the future.

Although she was born in this feudal era, she is very envious of the one-on-one love between her parents. Where there are many women, there are always many wars. She knows that she will not have a peaceful life in the future, but according to her own temperament, she should I won't offend them too much.

"My concubine is auspicious." Although there was dissatisfaction in his eyes, Sima Qingqian still saluted.

After all, she is from a famous family, so she is naturally educated, Ye Anran raised her head, the woman in front of her looks like her age, but her face is always cold, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Dressed in green clothes, although not gorgeous, but elegant, without any rouge and gouache on her face, she is also a rare beauty, but Ye Anran vaguely feels that she lacks a little aura, too old-fashioned, this old-fashioned Her demeanor didn't match her youthful age.

"Miss Qingqian, please sit down." Ye Anran said politely.

Sima Qingqian was not polite, sat down, and then stared closely at Ye Anran's face. Although she was both a woman, it seemed unnatural to be stared at like this, let alone her eyes. With obvious hostility.

"Miss Qingqian, is there anything wrong with my face?" Ye Anran smiled faintly.

"No, you are beautiful." Sima Qingqian's voice was very weak. Although he was praising in words, he couldn't hear the joy of praise.

"Really? Thank you for the compliment, girl." Ever since she was a child, Ye Anran listened to compliments the most. The beauty of her and her sister seemed to have become their own burden since no one knew when.

"However...it's not as mythical as the rumors. What kind of fairy, what kind of Chang'e, it's just a false rumor. Some people really don't like being famous when they meet." Sure enough, Sima Qingqian was not a good person. banished from heaven to earth.

Xiao Rong next to her couldn't take it anymore, and immediately interjected: "Young lady's words are wrong, my lady, she is a beauty recognized by the people all over the world, otherwise she wouldn't have the title of two great beauties in Jiangnan, you can be jealous, but Don't slander my young lady's beauty."

"Sure enough, she came from a commoner background, even the maids are so uneducated." Sima Qingqian had a hint of contempt in his eyes.

"You...?" Xiao Rong seemed to want to get angry, but was stopped by Ye Anran.

Then Ye Anran smiled apologetically: "Miss Qingqian, I'm sorry, my maid was spoiled by me, so my words offended me a bit. The girl is right. In fact, I never thought I was beautiful. It was all a lie. , so don’t have too high expectations before you’ve seen it, right?”

Perhaps it was unexpected that Ye Anran could say these words calmly, which really surprised Sima Qingqian.

She thinks that she has always been aloof and aloof, unwilling to deal with those ordinary people, so she has been shutting herself out, refusing to see Xiang Yi and Song Siyan, this time she just wanted to meet the legendary beauty.

But because of jealousy, because she was jealous of Princess Ye Anran's status, she humiliated her with rude words, but she was still able to talk and laugh happily with herself, I really had to be surprised.

"My concubine has a good temper, which makes me very surprised." Sima Qingqian didn't hide his thoughts at all.

"It's the girl's good temperament, which surprised me. I just came here and I'm not familiar with it. I come here for tea when I have time. I hope I can be friends with the girl." Although Ye Anran knew that the other party was not friendly to her, she She is still willing to take the initiative to extend her hand, she believes that as long as she has a kind heart, the other party will not embarrass her.

Seeing what she said, Sima Qingqian didn't say anything, stood up and glanced at her and said, "I have no friends, and I don't need friends. I can't afford a friend with a noble status like Wangfei, so I will resign."

"Wait a minute." Ye Anran stopped her in time.

"Is there something else for the princess?" Sima Qingqian asked bluntly without turning her head.

"Miss, if you have time, can you borrow some poems written by Senior Sima Xian for me? I have read Senior Sima's poems and songs since I was a child, and I like them very much, but I have never seen the real ones." In Ye Anran's heart, she really likes to worship Senior Sima, although she also knows that it is not appropriate to say these things at this time.

Sima Qingqian was really speechless now, she said Ye Anran was flattering, she really had nothing to please her, but said she was hypocritical, she seemed to really know the literary talent of her grandfather before he was alive.

"There is a chance." Leaving behind this ambiguous sentence, Sima Qingqian walked away.

Xiao Rong immediately complained: "Second Miss, are you stupid? This woman is obviously here to provoke, but you are good, and you are still chatting with her, and you even ask for some poems on your own initiative. How boring."

Ye Anran didn't care about it, let alone think about it, just smiled: "Xiao Rong, you think too much, I really like Sima Qu's poems, there is no other meaning."

"Second Miss, you... I don't know what to say about you. In short, we are out of the Ye Mansion, so we can't do whatever we want in our own home. Second Miss, you should be careful and unpredictable." Xiao Rong was alert. Consolation said.

Ye Anran nodded: "Well, I understand, Xiao Rong, thank you."

What happened last night made Ye Anran very desperate, but after dawn, she still has to continue living, doesn't she?She said that she will protect her sister in the future, so she must live, live strong and happy.

"My lord, my lord is waiting for you outside, and I want you to go into the palace together to serve tea to my empress." Butler Xu appeared at the door at some point.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Ye Anran smiled, thinking happily in her heart, will she be able to see her sister after entering the palace?But she didn't think that another bigger disaster was waiting for her.
