Gu Qingsheng's hand holding the persimmon cake trembled, a blush suddenly appeared on his face, and he lowered his head.
"What nonsense are you talking about..."
She really didn't expect to hear such words from Xu Qingyi, and she was really not prepared.
He hesitated for a while, tugging at his sleeve.
"Well, they are inside, let's go in and take a look."
Maybe she didn't even realize that her palms were sweating, and her ears were red when she turned her back to Xu Qingyi.
Seeing her like this, Xu Qingyi smiled a little and just let him pull her away.
"I told you, it was my idea to come find that idiot this time, so I'll definitely be the one who becomes successful in the end. As for you..."
Xiguo's disdainful voice came from the inner room.
"You are only fit to be a maid."
"actually……"
After half a day, Chun Guo finally spoke
"Xiguo, I think it's not bad for people like us who come from a small remote mountain village to be maids in the capital..."
"Although the princess often beats and scolds me, maybe because I was picked up by the prince, she is also nice to me and rewards me with things from time to time."
"Our village has been destroyed. This kind of journey home is truly a blessing from heaven. So I think... even if it's just like this..."
"Bah!!!"
Hearing these words, Xiguo suddenly became excited and smashed something, making a very loud noise.
"You're quite good! You serve the pregnant princess every day, taking care of everything meticulously. You don't have to do any of the dirty work. You just help her walk around every day. What's tiring about you?"
"And you can get a lot of rewards for that job! Look at me! Look at me!"
"My hands have so many calluses! These past two days, I've been doing nothing but washing clothes, sweeping the floor, and dusting! Or picking branches from the garden!"
"These past two days...you know how I've been these past two days!!"
"What happened to you these past two days?"
Gu Qingsheng walked in with a cold face. She couldn't stand it any longer and stood up from the doorway and said to Xiguo who was getting angry.
"You were kicked out of Huaixiang Pavilion at that time! I was the one who brought you back to the palace!"
"With so many girls in my palace, do you need one? If you are not satisfied, you can just leave. There is no need to be depressed here."
She didn't really care what Xiguo thought. After all, she didn't have much hope for this person when she picked up Xiguo at the door of Huaixiang Pavilion.
However, as the master, he should be angry when hearing such words, even if it is just for show.
Seeing Gu Qingsheng coming in, Xiguo shuddered with fear and fell to his knees.
"Princess...Princess! Princess!"
"Princess! Princess, please listen to my explanation! Please listen to my explanation!"
"What do you want me to explain?"
She looked down at Xiguo who was kneeling on the ground, and suddenly smiled and stepped aside to reveal Xu Qingyi's face.
"Haven't you always wanted to find that benefactor from your childhood since you came to the capital? Isn't this it?"
After saying this, Chun Guo and Xi Guo looked at Xu Qingyi at the same time, but they were both stunned. They looked at each other at the same time, then swallowed their saliva.
"Um, Princess, you've got the wrong person... We... We're looking for..."
"The man you're looking for has an ugly face and burn scars all over his body. He's wrapped in bandages, right?"
Gu Qingsheng spoke, and Xiguo nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes! Princess, how did you know?"
I thought that Gu Qingsheng was doing this because he had investigated his benefactor. Xiguo was overjoyed and kowtowed hurriedly.
"Thank you, Princess, for worrying about us! Thank you, Princess, for worrying about us! We..."
"etc."
This gesture of gratitude was stopped by Gu Qingsheng. She pulled Xu Qingyi forward and raised her eyebrows.
"This is it. There will be no mistakes. I can guarantee you."
"However, since you have said this, we in the palace cannot keep you here. You can choose to go with your benefactor, or you can choose to leave the palace on your own. It's your choice."
Xiguo's face changed a little, and he kowtowed again
"Princess! Princess! Princess!"
"No need to explain."
"Choose quickly."
This voice was so majestic that it shook the kneeling Xiguo all over. Her lips trembled and she didn't dare to continue speaking for a while.
Xiguo, who already knew what Gu Qingsheng was thinking, naturally didn't dare to plead anymore. She secretly looked at Xu Qingyi, and soon her face turned red. She clenched her dress with her hands and looked a little shy.
"That...that...you really are...really, the one from Jiming Village at that time..."
"If you're talking about the bandaged kid in Jiming Village, I'm right."
This sentence confirmed Xiguo's words, and then Xiguo's face burst into a strong emotion, which seemed to be happiness, surprise, but more of it was a hint of panic.
How could the child who was covered in scars become like this?
His behavior made Xiguo feel like a small speck of dust, and he didn't even dare to look up for a moment.
"Then... do you recognize him..."
Hearing her hesitation, Gu Qingsheng felt a little annoyed and took over her words directly.
"Then do you know Chun Guo Xi Guo?"
When saying this, Gu Qingsheng glanced at Chun Guo out of the corner of his eyes. Unlike Xi Guo's expression, Chun Guo just stood there with a calm expression and didn't look at Xu Qingyi.
Is she interested in this benefactor from her childhood?
Gu Qingsheng felt that he was not sure either.
While she was thinking, a hand suddenly came around her waist. She screamed and was then brought into a very warm embrace.
"I don't remember much about my childhood, but I still know that Chun Guo liked it."
"So it's you sisters. Long time no see."
Before Xiguo could be happy, Xu Qingyi continued
"However, I am just a stranger who has met you two once. I don't understand why you two ladies have asked me to come to the capital."
"I don't understand. I'm in the National Temple now. Could it be that the two girls are planning to become nuns?"
Xiguo's face turned pale all of a sudden. She looked at the hand that Xu Qingyi was holding Gu Qingsheng's waist, and trembled as she said
"Then, the princess..."
"Princess is different."
Taking over her words, Xu Qingyi took Gu Qingsheng's hand and suddenly put it to her lips without leaving any trace.
A touch of soft warmth touched his finger joints, and Gu Qingsheng's face turned red again.
Just listen to the pleasant voice with a little magnetism, it seems to be talking to Chun Guo and Xi Guo, and it seems to be slowly speaking in Gu Qingsheng's ear.
"Princess is different."
"The princess is the one I love."
