cook maid concubine

Chapter 229
Coming out of the courtyard where Princess An lives, I have been listening to people discussing today's flower viewing feast along the way.For example, who has extraordinary looks, and who has a gentle temperament and outstanding talent, who is a man of the age, talented and beautiful, etc. In short, it seems that everyone is paying attention to Ji Nanjin's marriage for a while.

With two contracts in his hand, Qian Hongxian felt complicated.Before that, she only wanted to leave the palace, and wanted to open her own shop as a shopkeeper so that she would not be at the mercy of others.Now she can be free at any time, but she is not as happy as she imagined.

When I got back to the residence, I saw He Xiaoxiao guarding the door nervously. When she saw her, she immediately came forward and said, "Red Line, are you alright?"

"What can I do if I'm fine?" Qian Hongxian asked with a smile.

"Then why did the concubine come to you suddenly?" He Xiaoxiao stared at her worriedly, "Did you know that you drugged the son?" She deliberately lowered her voice when she said this, and looked around for fear Their conversation was overheard by others.

Qian Hongxian smiled and shook her head, "No, it's because of other things. It's just that it might make you unable to stay in the capital."

"Did something happen?" He Xiaoxiao immediately frowned nervously.

Qian Hongxian said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the princess wants me to sign a death contract, but I don't agree, and we will probably leave here in a month's time." Said the two contracts in his hand Show it to the other party.

Although He Xiaoxiao was illiterate, she could still recognize her own name and handwriting. She looked at Qian Hongxian in a daze and said, "Isn't this the contract we signed when we entered Ji's Mansion?"

Qian Hongxian nodded, and then said to her apologetically, "I'm sorry, I took it back for you without asking your opinion, I think, rather than staying here, you should want to return to Linxiang City. Of course, if you still want to stay in the palace, I can also help you to tell the princess."

He Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "No need, I will go wherever you go."

Qian Hongxian joked with a smile: "Are you trying to follow my pace? It's a pity that I'm not a man, otherwise I'd just marry you."

He Xiaoxiao blushed, looked at her reproachfully and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" But soon a flash of determination flashed across her face: "I'm serious, you cured my father's hand , is the great benefactor of our family. I know that I may not be able to help you, but I hope to be by your side, even if it's just running errands."

Qian Hongxian suddenly put away the smile on her face, looked at her seriously and said, "Xiao Xiao, I just did what a doctor should do, but you really don't have to do this."

He Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "It may be nothing to you, but to me, you not only cured my father's hand, but also saved my father, so I am willing to be by your side , besides, I didn't follow you for nothing, you have to give me the same monthly money as the palace."

Qian Hongxian pretended to be suspicious: "Then I am at a disadvantage, no, no, why don't you stay in the palace?"

When He Xiaoxiao heard what she said, she immediately said nervously: "Then, let's have a little less." Then she pulled her sleeves and looked at her pitifully, "Red thread, let me follow you, okay? It's not possible , it doesn’t matter if you don’t give money, really.”

Qian Hongxian couldn't help laughing when she saw her humiliating appearance, "Just kidding, don't worry, when I become the boss, I will give you double the monthly payment."

He Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, and said seriously: "I don't want double the money, as long as I can follow you all the time." Then he remembered something and said: "It's just that you are leaving the palace. Does the son know?"

"Elder?" Qian Hongxian was stunned and said: "Elder is not in the mansion, how could he know?"

"Then have you thought about what to tell him?" He Xiaoxiao looked at her worriedly and asked again.

"Not yet." Qian Hongxian just remembered that they were brought back to the palace by Ji Nanjin, and they should have told the other party before leaving, but it was Princess An who asked them to leave, and the other party would not object to it.

Thinking of Princess An, and remembering what she said to herself before, Princess An said that the guy canceled the blind date because of her. What happened?

It seems that we have to find a time to ask each other.

There is also the one-month appointment she made with Princess An, and then she said to He Xiaoxiao: "Xiao Xiao, help me find out what habits and preferences Miss Biao usually has. Well, for example, what does she like to eat? And where do you usually like to go around in the mansion."

"Red Line, what are you going to do?" He Xiaoxiao asked curiously with her eyes wide open.

"Of course I want to help the eldest son and Miss Cousin get married!" After saying that, Qian Hongxian's heart inadvertently crossed a line, as if there was an indescribable emotion brewing in his chest.

"Putting strings?" He Xiaoxiao looked at her in confusion.

He Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Yes, did I tell you that the purpose of my entry into the mansion was actually to protect the matchmaker for the eldest son."

"Ah?" He Xiaoxiao was completely dumbfounded now, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, and asked her stupidly: "Why?"

Qian Hongxian said rather helplessly: "This is the task entrusted to me by my mother. My mother is a matchmaker in the village. She was angry and sick because she was robbed of the marriage that was about to be said, so she asked me to come forward for her. Of course I wouldn't agree to snatch such a marriage back, but I couldn't hold her back, so in the end I had to agree to secure a bigger marriage than her previous one, and my mother was willing to give up."

"Then you went to Ji Mansion to apply for a cook?"

He Xiaoxiao seemed to understand a little bit, but not completely. After hesitating for a while, he asked her again: "Does the prince know?"

"You probably don't know!" In fact, Qian Hongxian herself is not very sure, after all, since Linxiang City, she has exposed too many flaws in front of him, and with the other party's shrewdness, he may have already started to doubt her.In addition, she offered to help him protect the media more than once in front of the other party. Presumably the other party must have noticed it, so she paused and said: "But he knows that I want to protect the media for him."

"Oh!" He Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say for a while.

As soon as Qian Hongxian's fever subsided, Princess An asked her to talk a lot. She was not feeling well at the moment, so she went into the room to rest early.

But because he slept for too long during the day, he couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night, so he got up and went for a walk in the yard.Faintly saw a figure standing in the night.

At first, Qian Hongxian thought it was a mistake, so she rubbed her eyes vigorously.It was found that the other party not only did not disappear, but the whole figure became clearer.

The moonlight was bright, and Ji Nanjin, who was wearing a black brocade robe, was standing under the night, staring in her direction.

I am used to seeing the other party wearing moon white, but suddenly seeing him wearing black clothes, it seems that the whole person's temperament has changed.

On weekdays, he always gives people a dignified, elegant, gentle and jade-like feeling, but tonight, half hidden in the night, he seems a little darker than usual.It's like a piece of jade that has been polished and smooth suddenly has more edges and corners.

Qian Hongxian hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards the other party.Watching the other party's incomparably handsome face become clearer in front of him little by little.

Just as Qian Hongxian was about to ask the other party why he appeared here so late, Ji Nanjin said first, "Is your body okay?"

Qian Hongxian was stunned for a moment, the other party appeared so late, could it be because he was worried about himself?Thinking of this, I couldn't help staring at the other party for a few more times, then nodded and said: "I'm fine." I remembered that He Xiaoxiao said before that today in the bamboo forest, thanks to the other party for saving her, she even invited him Doctor, hurriedly said again: "Thank you today."

"No need." Ji Nanjin's eyes were as deep as the endless sea, but her voice was as calm and warm as ever, "It's good that you're fine. It's windy at night, and you're in good health. You'd better go back to your room to rest earlier."

Qian Hongxian smiled at the other party and said, "Well, I slept too long during the day, so I can't sleep now."

"Oh!" Ji Nanjin responded lightly, and then fell silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became silent, and Qian Hongxian felt a little embarrassed. After a pause, he randomly found a topic and said, "Uh, you look good in black clothes too. Well, you look more mature and dignified."

"Really?" Ji Nanjin looked at her, although her voice was still faint, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised at an angle that the other party couldn't detect.

Qian Hongxian felt confused when he was watched, and he always felt that there was something different about him tonight.

Just as he was thinking about what to say, his stomach suddenly made a sound.It was especially clear and loud in this silent night.

Qian Hongxian's face turned red immediately, she lowered her head uncomfortably, staring at her own toes with eyes full of embarrassment, wishing she could dig a hole in the ground and go down.

Ji Nanjin also had a slight smile on her face, staring at her and said, "Are you hungry?"

"Yeah!" Qian Hongxian nodded embarrassingly with a blushing face. She was afraid that the other party would mistake her for a good food, so she hurriedly explained: "After coming back from the bamboo forest, I felt exhausted and went back to the room to rest, but I slept very well. Tai Shen missed dinner, so I just..." After speaking, the voice became weaker and weaker.

Ji Nanjin suddenly said, "I'm hungry too!"

"Eh?" Qian Hongxian was stunned for a moment, then quickly raised her head, looked at the other party in surprise, a little unsure of what the other party meant, hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively suggested: "Then why don't we go to the kitchen and make something?" eat it?"

"Okay!" Unexpectedly, Ji Nanjin didn't object, but nodded with a smile.

Qian Hongxian felt a little joy in his heart for no reason, and asked the other party happily, "What do you want to eat?"

"It's up to you to decide." Ji Nanjin said lightly, under the night, there was a hint of tenderness in her gaze.

It's just that Qian Hongxian was preoccupied with thinking about what to do for the other party later, but didn't notice it.
