This little maid is very clever. No wonder she is so valued as soon as she enters the princess’s Bishui Pavilion. But if she is too sharp, it will make people feel a little strange. Chu Nianhe looked at the maid named Xiao Mi again, and her heart moved and suddenly remembered something I had heard of before.
This matter was told to her by Chu Nianhe’s husband, Yan Lichen. It was said that once, the empress dowager ordered a doctor to come out to treat the servants in the palace. Somehow, when the doctor was transferred to the princess’s Bishui Pavilion, the princess probably asked the man to take her pulse for fun, but the doctor actually found that the princess was infected with musk poison. This matter was once a hot topic in the palace. The emperor was furious and ordered people to interrogate all the people serving in the princess’s bedroom, but in the end, nothing was asked, and the matter was left to nothing.
From the perspective of time, when the princess was found to have musk hidden in her body, it was at this time that she would push it back for two months. Chu Nianhe looked at the pink nails dyed on the princess’s hand again without any hesitation, and couldn’t help but feel a little suspicious.
But although I doubt it, such a major event should not be announced casually. If this maid had no problem, she would probably have alarmed the person who was assassinating the princess and made the masters in the palace doubt her true purpose of coming to the palace to be an official. It seems that I can only investigate this matter secretly for the time being. Fortunately, although this musk is not a good thing, it will be fine for a few days. I just hope that the princess will be healthy and will not be affected by this musk.
After making a decision in her heart, Chu Nianhe hid her worries and deliberately made an envious expression and said, “It’s true that the palace is good. Even an ordinary little maid has such a clever mind.”
Her eyes were staring at the princess, but she could see Xiao Mi from the corner of her eyes. When Xiaomi heard her say this, she had no expression on her face. It seemed that she had been taught and could not show it.
The princess joked with Chu Nianhe for a while, then asked the palace maid to put on her pink feathered cloak and took Chu Nianhe to the place where she learned the piano. Before he could reach the piano room, Chu Nianhe heard the princess roar, and said to the palace maid next to him with some displeasure: “Why didn’t you bring me armor? If you hurt my hand while practicing piano, I will peel your slutty feet carefully!”
The princess has always been harsh to her servants, but when the palace maid heard her say this, she was so scared that she immediately knelt on the ground and cried: “Princess! I want to bring you armor today, but you said that the dye on your nails has not been completely dry, so I won’t let me take it. I forgot…”
“You dare to talk back!” The princess was obviously thinking about it by the palace maid, and raised her hand so angry that she wanted to hit her: “If you don’t hit your face today, wouldn’t my Bishui Pavilion be with you!”
The palace maid cried and looked pitiful. Seeing that the princess was angry, Chu Nianhe didn’t want to persuade her, so she helped herHe grabbed the princess’ arm and said softly: “Princess, don’t get angry. It’s a little bit to beat this palace maid. If you hurt your hand, how can you practice the piano later?”
The princess always cherishes her own hand. She always asks others to do the lessons of palace maids in her bedroom. Now that she heard Chu Nianhe say this, she suppressed her anger and scolded the palace maid, “Why don’t you get back and get me armor. If this princess delays practicing piano, no one can save you!”
“Let Nianhe go,” Chu Nianhe looked at the shrunk palace maid again and said to the princess, “This palace maid is afraid that her legs are weak, and it will take a lot of time to go back and forth.”
After hearing Chu Nianhe’s words, the princess spitted at the palace maid hatefully, “Bao,” and said to Chu Nianhe, “Since that’s the case, you go.”
