Chapter 20 Personal Maid
"Ah? He hasn't recovered yet? Has he lost his memory?" Qingqing heard this and looked at Qingyi in surprise.
Qing Yi hadn't spoken a word since entering the palace, so Qingqing had no idea what was going on with him. It was only when she parted with her master that she heard that the Martial Saint and the Demon Lord were going to the Western Region Demon Cult to rescue him.
"Huh? What's different about them?" Ye Qingyu interrupted, obviously not believing that Qingyi would forget Qingqing.
"The Qingqing girl I know has never been so well-educated, gentle and elegant!" Qing Yi said with a smile.
"Oh, you! You're teasing me again!" Qingqing suddenly realized that Qingyi was teasing her. After three years, this guy's nature is really hard to change!
"Hahaha, just kidding! Long time no see, Qing girl is getting more and more beautiful. I miss you so much, do you miss me?" Qing Yi laughed.
Qingqing was shocked when she heard Qingyi's words. What kind of words did this kid say in front of his master? Of course, he couldn't say it behind her back. She secretly glanced at her master, who didn't seem angry.
"Hmph! You haven't improved at all. You're still as smooth-talking as ever!" She replied softly, pretending to be angry.
"Hey, you naughty girl, you have to speak nicely. Didn't you hear what your master said? He and I are the same here. How dare you talk to him like that?" Qing Yi was very kind to Qingqing, and his true nature was exposed.
"Yes, Master Qingyi!" She agreed gently with gritted teeth. She had just heard her master's order.
"Hahahahahaha!" Qing Yi laughed triumphantly.
"Master, look at how proud he is. You'd better not spoil him too much." Qingqing suggested to the little prince.
"Qing girl, stop complaining. In the future, try to curry favor with me. When I'm in a good mood, I'll say a few good words for you to your master." Qing Yi said with a smile.
"Oh, thank you, Master Qingyi. I don't deserve it."
"Well-deserved, well-deserved!"
Ye Qingyu ignored their joking words and turned to Qing Yi and said, "I have to go to the palace first. I may stay here overnight, but I will definitely return tomorrow."
Every time he arrived in the capital, he would first go to the palace to meet the emperor to avoid giving him any excuse to gossip. And the Emperor of Chu would always ask him to stay in the palace for a few days. Since he was a child, his bedroom in the palace had been reserved for him.
This also proves that Ye Qingyu's position in the Emperor of Chu is extraordinary. No other prince enjoys such treatment.
"Ah, Xiaoye, why do you want to stay in the palace? What's the point of me staying here alone?" Qingyi frowned, very reluctant. The other servants had dispersed, and only Qingqing stood by, and he no longer pretended to be serious.
"It's always been like this. The Emperor will definitely let me stay in the palace for a few days. I'll try to leave the palace as early as possible. You don't have to worry. My father is not here, and there are not many people in the palace. I'll let Qingqing accompany you around. If you need anything, just tell Uncle Lin."
"It seems that the emperor is more important than me! He is going to abandon me!" Qingyi complained, completely ignoring Qingqing's presence. Qingqing was already accustomed to this. To be able to say such words showed that Qingyi had really returned to normal!
"Qingqing, take Qingyi to familiarize herself with the palace." Ye Qingyu ignored Qingyi's complaints and turned to give instructions to her maid.
Qingyi and Qingqing are old acquaintances, and Qingyi understands their relationship, so it would be more appropriate to let Qingqing take care of him.
"Yes, master." He replied softly.
"Xiao Ye, are you at ease leaving me to this girl?" Qing Yi continued to express his dissatisfaction, laughing softly on the side.
"I pay my respects to my master, Master Qingyi!" Just then, Qingfeng arrived and knelt down to pay his respects. Qingyi saw that the palace had so many rules, and everyone had to kneel down at every turn.
"Well, get up." Ye Qingyu nodded slightly. Qingfeng had just returned home from investigating something. When he heard that the young prince had returned with someone, he hurried over to pay his respects.
"Qingfeng, long time no see. Why are you darker again?" Qingyi greeted him warmly.
"..." Qingfeng remained silent.
"See, it's not just me who says you're darker." He smiled gently and stood on the same front with Qing Yi.
"Qingfeng, go to the study and follow me into the palace later." Seeing that Qingyi and Qingqing got along well, Ye Qingyu went to take care of his own business.
"Look, it's only been a short while and you've fallen out of favor?" Qingqing only spoke to Qingyi boldly after seeing that her master had left.
"Why didn't you dare to say it just now? You are brave now, right? Be careful or I will complain to your master." Qing Yi and Qingqing joked.
"Oh, oh, Master Qingyi, how old are you? Why do you always complain?" She smiled softly, she was not afraid.
Come on, take me around the palace. This is my first time entering a palace! Qing Yi was very curious and wanted to see what kind of environment Xiao Ye lived in. But seeing the servants here kneeling at every turn, he was still a little uncomfortable.
The two of them first walked around the front yard of the palace, and then Qingyi led Qingyi to the back garden. It was the height of summer, and the flowers were in full bloom, looking particularly enchanting.
"Qingqing, where does Xiaoye live? Take me to see her!" Qingyi was in no mood to appreciate the flowers with Qingqing, so he suggested going to the little prince's room to take a look.
"Ah! This... is fine, let's go this way!" Qingqing hesitated for a moment, but then she thought, considering the relationship between Qingyi and the master, it would be fine even if they went to the bedroom.
"Sister Ruyi!" After passing through the back garden, they arrived at the young prince's bedroom. The person serving Ye Qingyu here was the head maid Ruyi. Qingqing saw her and quickly greeted her.
"Qingqing, what's this?" Ruyi asked. Why had Qingqing brought the young man the young prince had just brought back to the young prince's bedroom? How could this be so? Even though the young prince had just given the order, he couldn't just bring anyone here, right? Although the young prince didn't have a princess, this was considered a key area in the harem.
"Ah, Sister Ruyi, the master asked me to take Master Qingyi to familiarize himself with the palace and show him around." Among Ye Qingyu's maids, Ruyi was a personal maid in the palace in the capital, and had been taking care of Ye Qingyu's daily life when she was in the capital.
Qing Yi said nothing, simply observing the woman across from him. She was dressed in a smoky-colored gown, had a slender figure, fair skin, and a beautiful appearance. She looked even prettier than Qingqing. Although she appeared gentle and charming, Qing Yi instinctively disliked her.
"Qingqing, how come you don't know any etiquette? Can you just enter the young prince's bedroom casually?" Ruyi first scolded Qingqing, then said to Qingyi very gently and politely, "Master Qingyi, Qingqing is ignorant. Let her take you to the back garden. The peonies there are just blooming and are extremely beautiful."
