I Want to be Alone, Beautifully - Chapter 127

Xu Jiao scooped the soup medicine in the bowl with a jade spoon down to the ground and delivered it to her mouth.

Probably because of her uneasy body, her eyebrows were also a bit tired. When she half-leaned on the collapsed screen, she looked like a charming and beautiful woman, with a kind of noble temperament in it.

The jade spoon and the porcelain bowl occasionally collide with each other, and you can hear a crisp sound.

When the medicine bowl reached the bottom, someone from the palace came forward, put her bowls and chopsticks on the wooden tray, and removed her. Seeing that she got up and was going to the direction of the study, the palace people who had been intimidated by Yu Ye early in the morning Hurrying to keep up with the fox fur cloak, there was a stance that she wanted to hang curtains under the porch to block all the snow and cold in the courtyard.

Xu Jiao didn’t embarrass the people too much, knowing that the bones of her body were too weak, even if the cloak was a bit heavy, it would be troublesome to put it on, but she still stood and let them finish the toss before heading to the study.

Perhaps it was the act of Yu Ye’s killing today that awakened some palace personnel.They all realized that at least they can’t wait for Xu Jiao slowly at the moment, otherwise, if the news reaches the ears of the impermanent regent someday, it may be another question. To kill them—

So when Xu Jiao sat down behind the desk as usual, she found that the palace people around who had always pretended not to be there all the time except for standing and breathing suddenly seemed to have updated the system. They came up to hold the lights for her, close the windows, and again. Those who wanted to grind ink and spread paper for her gathered around her.

Before she read a few lines of the scroll in Xu Jiao’s hand, she was distracted by the movements of the palace people.

Facing Xu Jiao’s gaze, a grand palace lady in emerald green clothes smiled at her, bowed her waist gently, and asked in a gentle tone that Xu Jiao hadn’t heard much before:

“His Royal Highness has lunch that I want to use, so my maid ordered to go down and let the kitchen end prepare it first.”

Because of her voice, Xu Jiao glanced at her distractedly. Previously, these palace people had no interest in talking to her. Naturally, she didn’t bother to focus on these people. Now because of the etiquette of the conversation, she looked over, but It turns out that the appearances of these palace ladies around are pretty good.

Although not a character of Allure, he is also a kind of Xiaojiabiyu, gentle and pleasant, and looks very comfortable with his facial features.

Especially this great palace lady.

If you look closely… it actually looks like a third of Yu Ye, and there is a mole at the corner of his eye, which is quite distinctive.

Xu Jiao pretended to have forgotten the previous behavior of these palace people watching people and serving food, after a little thought, she replied in a satisfactory manner: “It is as usual.”

The grand palace lady was not discouraged by her attitude. After thinking about it, she said: “There are a few old ducks in the kitchen, and they look very fat, and the duck meat is gentle and energizing. Or let the kitchen make an old duck soup at noon? “

Xu Jiao didn’t have much appetite at first, but now I heard her suggestion, she looked at the silver-clad world outside the study, and suddenly wanted to eat hot pot again. In this freezing season, set up a hot mandarin duck pot. Half of the red soup and half of the white soup, put the sliced ​​beef and mutton in, with some fungus, vegetables…

When it was picked up, it also carried a white mist, and the fragrance was overflowing.

Thinking about it, she lost her interest in reading, touched her throat, and finally looked at the snow scene outside the house in a trance, and her expression was not very lonely.

The lady of the palace who had spoken to her before was also the person in charge of the lady of the East Palace—named Lu Luo. Seeing her expression, she thought she didn’t want to be locked up in this yard, but Yu Ye had already given the order, saying that the prince was here. She will never be allowed to go out until the wind and cold are good.

Thinking of the scene Xu Jiao hadn’t seen when she went out last night, she took the opportunity to order the kitchen to retreat, and summoned two palace people from outside the courtyard. After a few words in their ears, she waved them back.

Speaking of this Luluo, she is also a type of wise man. She was originally loyal to Yu Ye. When she was sent, she was used for surveillance purposes, but she didn’t use her much, because Xu Jiao was too much. -It’s safe. Her attitude towards Xu Jiao is that Yu Ye cares and makes people around her serve a little bit more attentively. If Yu Ye is disgusted, she will let people treat Xu Jiao perfunctorily, just turning a blind eye. One eye is not too much.

In the morning, from Yu Ye’s handling of some dirty guys, she could see that the regent master seemed to be a little concerned about the prince, and she paid attention to Xu Jiao again.

Reminiscent of the phrase Xu Jiao said earlier with Master Yu, “I don’t like men”…

Luluo turned around and looked at the study door. She never felt that being sent to the East Palace to serve a woman was such a wonderful job.

She heard her heart beating with excitement.

If you are in a cultural capital like Qi, a country of etiquette, perhaps you can’t even think of these bold ideas, but this big yan is as famous as Chu, a royal family dedicated to lunatics, who knows that Xu Jiao will meet in the future. Wouldn’t you become the emperor?

This highness does not like men, it must be women who are pleased.

If I can…

A different color flickered in Luluo’s eyes, but soon, she condensed her mind and walked back to the study.

…

Xu Jiao felt that the palace people around her seemed too enthusiastic about her recently.

Although she did not pay attention to these people, she is careful, from the original state of self-reliance to now, as long as she raises her hand slightly, someone will put what she wants in his hand. This meticulous care, It’s hard for her to ignore it.

This time Xu Jiao paid close attention to the court man who was serving close to her.

Green dill.

She remembered the name.

Because the color of the palace dress of the grand palace lady is green, she can easily remember the name of the other party according to the color of the dress. On the other hand, the palace servants in pink, pink, and blue clothes are served with their names. The color is related. Of course, some elegant themes in some palaces like to rename their subordinates, but Xu Jiao has not tossed about these, so the people in the East Palace are the ones that are most convenient for the masters to remember when they send them.

Now looking at the other party’s face that looked like Yu Ye, and the small mole at the corner of her eye, Xu Jiao carefully noted her appearance for the first time.

Now, Luluo has collected some sweet snacks from nowhere. After Xu Jiao finished drinking the bitter medicine for the treatment of wind and cold, she brought the snack fruit to her, so that she could get rid of the bitterness of the traditional Chinese medicine in her mouth. .

Xu Jiao has been raising well in the past two days and the cold is not too severe, so her symptoms are almost better. When she finishes eating the snacks, she sees Luluo clapping her hands, and there is a palace mermaid entering the courtyard with a hand in her hand. On the wooden trays of Shuier are all kinds of exquisite dishes, including fresh fish fillets on ice, as well as all kinds of red meat, vegetables, and mountain mushrooms.

The palace man walking at the forefront was carrying a large copper pot, and he could vaguely see the heat coming out of it.

Xu Jiao suddenly widened her eyes—

Isn’t this the hot pot she wanted to eat two days ago?

She subconsciously glanced at Luluo next to her. Seeing the other party smiled at her, she took the initiative to explain: “There was a cook in the imperial dining room. In order to be lazy in the cold, she invented such a pot to rinse all kinds of ingredients. After eating, I was seen by the masters of the palace again. It has gradually spread in recent days. I thought that your Royal Highness might like it, so I submitted it on my own initiative. If your Royal Highness doesn’t like it, I will let them to withdraw.”

Xu Jiao raised her brows—

Overhead is good, overhead is wonderful, overhead is croaking.

Whatever you want to eat.

She likes the unscientific setting of overhead history.

With a smile on Luluo, Xu Jiao said softly, “Since this is the case, I will also try this fresh way of eating.”

Luluo heard her voice happy, so she raised her hand to let the palace people put up the dishes, and personally helped Xu Jiao adjust the dipping dish, with four or five bowls of different flavors, even if it was spicy, it was only slightly spicy, and then she helped Xu Jiaojing cooked the meat and dishes in an orderly manner, grasping the freshness of the ingredients just right, and not much to say, just serving them intimately.

Xu Jiao was like eating Haidilao when he brought a considerate waiter, but he was not the type who had to chat with her and relieve her boredom when he came up. An ancient version of hot pot was called a delight.

…

The heavy snow last night crushed the green pine in the palace and dyed all the black glazed tiles covering the palace wall white.

Yu Ye walked between the red palace walls, smelling the scent of food from a distance.

She looked at the direction and realized that Xu Jiao was actually in the palace.

There was a soft “click”.

It was the sound made by Yu Ye stepping on the dead branches. She stood still and looked at the direction of the East Palace. What came to her mind was that Xu Jiao told her that she didn’t like the appearance of men.

Yu Ye didn’t want to see her because she didn’t want to miss Xu Jiao, for fear that the little prince would misunderstand something, but she also wanted to know Xu Jiao’s latest move. She hesitated and went over there.

As soon as she approached the courtyard, she was discovered by the palace people who had come to salute her, and then wanted to pass the pass, Yu Ye waved his hand to let the people around him hold him, without making any movement, went straight into the hall—

The black cloak fluttered behind her with her movements, like crow feathers killing the earth.

In the hall.

Xu Jiao didn’t expect to be able to taste the tahini sauce here. She accidentally dyed the sauce to the corners of her lips. Luluo saw it and immediately took off the handkerchief beside her and wanted to wipe it for her. Xu Jiao was not used to being served like this. Her movement reflexively grasped the opponent’s wrist as a block, and then licked the corners of her lips to wipe off the delicious taste.

But because Luluo got too close to her, she leaned forward, and the fingertips holding the handkerchief were close to Xu Jiao’s lips…

Seen from the direction of the door.

It’s like… she’s teasing each other’s fingertips with her lips and teeth.

Yu Ye happened to see this scene.

Her eyebrows jumped, and she subconsciously said: “What is your Highness doing?”

Seeing her coming over, the people in the palace lowered their heads subconsciously, and the atmosphere in the hall became soothing. Xu Jiao was startled by her puffy voice, let go of Luluo’s wrist, frowned and looked over, paused, then spoke. :

“Master Yu is here, why didn’t no one say a word?”

Yu Ye’s attention was on the court lady next to Xu Jiao.

She didn’t understand very much. How could someone who had only shown admiration for herself before, so double-hearted, went to be frivolous about her subordinates today? It seems that the feelings of the Prince’s Royal Highness are not so sincere.

Luluo heard the movement of Yu Ye, and subconsciously bowed her head to salute in Yu Ye’s direction.

Yu Ye focused her gaze on her, but was answering Xu Jiao’s question: “The minister is afraid of disturbing His Highness’s interest, so she won’t let anyone pass it on. Now, it seems that His Highness really has a good appetite today.”

Xu Jiao didn’t bother to care about the fact that one of her servants went to the Prince’s palace to run wild.

He just said: “Well, indeed, this pot does not have a taste, Master Yu wants to leave a meal?”

She just kept a meal in a polite manner.

Unexpectedly, Yu Ye glanced at the palace man next to her and sat down directly. Xu Jiao was taken aback by her unceremonious natural movements, and slowly reminded Lu Luo, who was still holding her head down:

“Prepare a tableware for Master Yu.”

Lu Luo answered yes in a low voice before raising her head.

At the moment she looked up—

Yu Ye saw her appearance clearly.

The first reaction is.

She looks pretty good, and Xu Jiao seems to be quite provocative.

The second reaction is…

Why does this look a bit familiar?

Yu Ye thought absentmindedly, uncovered the lid of the hot tea presented by the servant, and blew the floating powder on the noodles. He wanted to drink some tea before starting to eat. Who knows that he will see you in the clear tea soup in the next instant. With his own appearance.

There was a pause in her movements.

Immediately, she calmly looked in Luluo’s direction.

—That’s it.

When Yu Ye saw that there was only Luluo in the house close to Xu Jiao and waited on him, he thought that it was because of Xu Jiao’s special favor, that he couldn’t help but feel a little complicated.

The prince’s love for himself…

It seems unexpectedly deep.

Even the servants only favor such a person who looks a bit like her.

Looks so pitiful.

With this complicated mood, Yu Ye couldn’t help but want to make up for Xu Jiao from other places. After waiting for the tableware to be presented in front of him, he subconsciously put a piece of duck blood into the pot and rinsed it, and then fished it into Xu Jiao’s bowl. .

Xu Jiao, with duck blood from the sky: “…?”

She stared blankly at this unfamiliar piece of duck blood in the bowl, which seemed to have a fishy smell in her eyes. She looked a little bit incredulous in her eyes. Looking at Yu Ye, she didn’t know where she had offended her recently. I have such a big hatred with myself.

Seeing her showing a flattered look, Yu Ye bends her lips unskillfully, as if smiling, and quickly pursed her lips, pretending to remind Xu Jiao casually:

“Counting the days, your Royal Highness is about to come to the moon after some days, so he should replenish the blood in advance.”

Xu Jiao: “…”

Regardless of whether eating duck blood can replenish blood.

The question now is—

Should she take the sauce bowl contaminated with this piece of raw duck blood and take it on Yu Ye’s face?
