cook maid concubine

Chapter 227 The One-Month Period (Part [-])
"By the way, what's the result of today's flower viewing banquet? Did your son have a crush on anyone? Did you say who you want to marry?" Qian Hongxian didn't know why he suddenly became so concerned about this matter, he only knew that he had been so concerned since he woke up. After coming here, what I want to know most is this matter.

There was even some faint tension.

He Xiaoxiao shook her head and said: "The flower viewing banquet ended very early, but I didn't hear who the crown prince had taken a fancy to. I only know that the crown prince returned to the garden later, and I don't know what he said to the princess. I left the mansion not long after. After the crown prince left, the flower viewing banquet went on for a while, and later the princess said that she was not feeling well, so she sent everyone away early."

"That's it!" Qian Hongxian couldn't tell whether he felt regret or disappointment when he didn't get the answer he wanted.

"Red line, between you and Shizi?" He Xiaoxiao hesitated and didn't know how to ask.

Qian Hongxian suddenly remembered the scene in the hot spring pool, took a tight breath, and then pretended to be calm: "There is nothing between me and Shizi!"

"The eleventh princess asked you to do that..."

"You said to prescribe medicine to the son? Don't worry, this matter should have passed." She said this, even she felt that she lacked confidence. On the one hand, she felt that since Ji Nanjin let her go, she probably meant not to pursue it anymore.But on the other hand, it is also possible that the other party just had a drug attack at the time, and he was too embarrassed to solve it in front of her, so he had to let her leave first, and the possibility of a later settlement is not completely ruled out.

He Xiaoxiaoren is a little simple, but she is not really stupid. She thought about what the Eleventh Princess and Yunyi said, and gradually realized what the Eleventh Princess was going to do.However, seeing that the other party came out of Jin Garden in a hurry, it must have been unsuccessful.But between Shizi and Hongxian, the two of them stayed in Jinyuan for so long, and they didn't know what happened.

And how did the good red line end up in the bamboo forest behind Jinyuan?
Knowing what the other party was wondering about, Qian Hongxian couldn't help but coughed lightly, and said: "The prince took me to the bamboo forest, but later he let me go first because of something. I didn't know there was a trap in the bamboo forest, so I was trapped "As for Ji Nanjin taking the aphrodisiac and what happened in the hot spring pool, she chose to hide it from He Xiaoxiao.

Although she and He Xiaoxiao have a good relationship, they have only known each other for three months, and they have not reached the point where they can share any secrets with each other.

"That's it! In short, it's best if you're fine." After hearing her explanation, He Xiaoxiao always felt that there was something missing, but she couldn't figure it out for a while, and finally pulled her and said, "You just have a fever, hurry up." Go back home and rest!"

As soon as the two of them reached the door of the room, a sudden voice sounded behind them: "Miss Hongxian."

Qian Hongxian turned around, and saw Jingqiu, another big maid beside Concubine An, standing at the gate of the yard. She had met her several times in Bodhi House when she was cooking for the old lady, and when she suddenly saw her, Qian Hongxian seemed to be surprised. A trace of doubt could not help flashing, before she could open her mouth, she heard the other party say: "Girl Hongxian, the princess wants to see you."

"Princess?" Qian Hongxian was stunned again. After entering the palace, except for the last time in Ji Guogong's mansion, the other party left her alone and warned her, and did not see her again. What will happen to her this time? ?

Because of what happened last time, Qian Hongxian had a vague premonition that was not very good.

Then he and Jing Qiu went to the courtyard where Princess An lived.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Princess An sitting on the seat drinking tea. Seeing her, Prince An's Mansion did not speak immediately, but continued to hold the tea cup in his hand and slowly sip it. Putting down the teacup, he said slowly, "Let me ask you, what is your relationship with Jin'er?"

This is already the second person to ask her this question today.

An inexplicable nervousness flashed in Qian Hongxian's heart, she lowered her head and said, "This servant has nothing to do with the prince."

"No?" Princess An narrowed her eyes slightly, and her eyes suddenly became sharper, "Would Jin'er cancel today's blind date banquet for you?"

"Your Majesty cancels the banquet?" Qian Hongxian paused, and then asked, "Did the princess misunderstand something?"

"Misunderstanding?" Princess An looked at her coldly and said, "Let me ask you, Jin'er sent someone to invite a doctor to the bamboo forest today, is it because of you?"

Qian Hongxian didn't know why the other party would suddenly ask about this matter, and what did it have to do with Ji Nanjin's cancellation of the banquet. After a little hesitation, she nodded and said, "Yes, the servant was trapped because she entered the bamboo forest by mistake, and later because of Suffering from the cold and falling into a coma with a fever in the bamboo forest, it was the prince who saved the servant."

Concubine An's face suddenly turned a little colder than before: "It really is you. How dare you say that you have nothing to do with Jin'er?"

"The servant does not understand what the concubine is talking about." Qian Hongxian blinked and looked at the other party in confusion.

Ji Nanjin did find a doctor for her, but she really didn't understand Princess An's problem.What does it mean that the other party canceled the blind date banquet for her?What the hell happened?

She was full of doubts, and was waiting for Princess An to continue, but Princess An suddenly changed the subject, took a piece of stuff from the servant girl, handed it to her with a blank expression, and said, "This It was the contract you signed with the mansion that I took from the housekeeper."

Qian Hongxian took it from Concubine An, and took a look. It was indeed the one she signed when she was working as a cook in Linxiang City.Then he raised his head and looked at Princess An suspiciously, not understanding the other party's intention.

But the other party took another contract from the maid and handed it to her, saying: "The servants of the palace, including the cook and the maid, have always only signed death contracts in order to ensure their loyalty. I don't care about you." Is it true or not, in short, this is a new contract, if you still want to stay in the palace, just sign it!"

Qian Hongxian glanced at the death contract, and immediately said: "I'm sorry, slaves cannot sign it." Once she signs this contract, it means that she will be a slave for life, and she will be marked as a servant for the rest of her life. other people.

"Can't sign?" Princess An narrowed her eyes slightly.

Qian Hongxian could clearly feel the other party's displeasure, and knew that what he said might anger the other party, so she bit her lower lip. Although she was hesitant, she said with a firm attitude: "When the servant girl applied for the cook I said that I would not sign a death contract."

"I also said that the palace only needs servants who sign the death contract." Princess An's attitude was equally firm, and her tone was blunt.

Qian Hongxian raised his head and looked at the other party with some uncertainty.

Then Princess An said word by word: "If you refuse to re-sign, then there is no need for the Palace to keep you."

Does this mean to drive her out of the house?
Qian Hongxian couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Although she had thought about leaving many times before, she didn't feel relieved when she really said that she would be driven away. Instead, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

After a moment of silence, he just said: "Well, can you let the servant stay for a while longer?"

Princess An looked at her coldly and said, "What do you want to do? If you plan to intercede with Jin'er..."

Before she finished speaking, Qian Hongxian hurriedly said: "My concubine misunderstood." After a pause, he continued: "It's just that the son promised the servant that if he gets married in the future, the servant will be the matchmaker for him. Now the son The good thing is coming, can you allow the servant to leave after securing the matchmaker for him?"

"The mediator?" Princess An looked at her suspiciously, her eyes full of surprise.

Qian Hongxian nodded and said: "The maidservant's mother used to be a matchmaker in the village, but she fell ill a while ago, and the maidservant promised to secure a big matchmaker for her when she came out this time. The prince also agreed to this matter."

Princess An was stunned for a moment before she realized, "You mean, you want to protect Jin'er as a matchmaker, and Jin'er also agreed?"

"Yes!" Qian Hongxian thought for a while and then said: "Princess, don't worry, this servant promises that he will definitely make the marriage of the eldest son beautiful, and will not embarrass the palace."

Concubine An didn't expect the matter of media protection to come up suddenly, she stared at her suspiciously for a while and said: "Besides that, there is really nothing between you and Jin'er?"

Qian Hongxian didn't know what Princess An was thinking, nor did she know the inside story behind Ji Nanjin's temporary decision to cancel the blind date banquet. Hearing this, she just subconsciously asked, "What will happen between the servant girl and the prince?"

After hearing the words, Princess An continued to stare at her for a while, seeing that the expression on her face did not seem to be lying, she turned her gaze away and said, "Very well, I hope you can remember what you said today."
