Chapter 46 Princess Helian Shu
Helian Shu twirled the coral necklace around her fingertips, her phoenix eyes swept over Xiao Nanyan, and she smiled:
"Brother Yan's maidservant, the more I look at her, the happier I am. I wonder if you can give her up?"
"I have no objection, but the servants in the Prince Regent's Palace have always decided whether to stay or go."
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Xi Yan:
"Will you go with the princess?"
Everyone in the hall looked at Xiyan like thorns.
Helian Shu looked at Xi Yan with a kind look in her eyes:
"Don't be afraid. The golden eight-treasure bed in my palace is much more comfortable than the hard bed in the Regent's Palace!"
"Replying to the princess!" Xi Yan knelt and saluted:
"I am deeply grateful for your kindness, Your Highness. However, once upon a time, Your Highness saved my life from an ant on the street. Since that day, I have sworn before the Buddha that I will bear your lantern and umbrella for the rest of my life, without complaint. I cannot break my vow, Princess. I beg your forgiveness."
A hint of displeasure flashed across Helian Shu's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, and she chuckled:
"I never thought a mere maid could be so loyal to her master. Never mind, how could I force you to do anything? Look at how nervous you are. I was just joking!"
Xiao Nanyan's lips curled slightly:
"If you're lonely, how about the king giving you two magic Persian cats?"
"That's great. Brother Yan, you have to keep your word. If you don't give it to me, Shu'er will go to the Regent's Mansion to ask you for it in person!" Helian Shu looked happy. She walked around the desk and sat in the empty seat on the right side of Xiao Nanyue.
This was originally the seat for the female members of the court, and only the Regent Princess was qualified to sit there. Helian Shu's behavior was inappropriate and indeed seemed to be an act of usurpation.
Xiao Nanyan lowered his eyes and said nothing, his expression as usual.
At this time, the second prince Helian Yu watched from the opposite side for a while, and said in a gloomy tone:
"Royal sister, this seat doesn't seem to be yours. Being so casual is probably inappropriate."
Helian Shu raised her eyebrows, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, and she turned to look at Xiao Nanyan, full of coquettish intentions:
"Brother Yan, look at Second Brother, he loves to use these rules to discipline Shu'er. In Shu'er's heart, talking to Brother Yan is much more important than those red tape."
Xiao Nanyan glanced at Helian Yu lightly, and opened his thin lips slightly:
"Shu'er is rarely in a good mood. It's just a seat. If you want to sit, then sit down!"
Helian Yu repeatedly ran into obstacles with Xiao Nanyue. His face turned pale and red. He snorted coldly and turned away.
Helian Shu was very happy. She tilted her head and looked at Xiao Nanyan, her eyes full of cunning:
"Brother Yan, you just promised to give Shu'er a Persian cat, you are not allowed to go back on your word."
Xiao Nanyan had a smile on his lips, his eyes were as dark as the abyss:
"I will never break my promise."
At this time, the emperor and empress had not yet entered the palace. The eunuch of Shangyan ordered the orchestra to start music, and the tense atmosphere was relieved. Everyone present resumed their previous conversation and laughter.
Helian Shu chatted with Xiao Nanyan for a few words, then reached out her slender hand to pick up an empty cup, pushed it to the edge of the table, and glanced at Xiyan nonchalantly:
“Pour the tea!”
The voice was coquettish, but it carried an unquestionable commanding tone.
"yes!"
Xiyan lowered her eyes, hiding her emotions. Her snow-white sleeves slid across the table, revealing her slender wrists. Her bare hands steadily held the gold-engraved copper pot.
The spout of the teapot is tilted, and the amber tea soup, wrapped in curling hot steam, falls into the teacup like a lively line of water.
She gently picked up the teacup and handed it to Helian Shu:
"Princess, please have some tea!"
Helian Shu did not ignore that when Xiyan was pouring tea, Xiao Nanyan's eyes glanced at her slender white wrist.
When she took the teacup from Xiyan's hand, her wrist suddenly shook, and the teacup tilted to one side, and the boiling hot tea instantly splashed towards Xiyan.
Xiyan could have avoided it, but she hesitated for a moment and did not move. Dark water marks instantly appeared on her snow-white gauze skirt, and there were spots of tea leaves on the hem of her skirt.
Han Xiao and Ye Ren stood behind Xiao Nanyan, looking at each other, with a hint of anger in their eyes.
"oops!"
Helian Shu was surprised, and covered her lips with her fingertips:
"Why did my hand suddenly become uncontrollable? Did I burn you?"
Xiao Nanyue's gaze lingered on the two of them for a moment, then quickly shifted his gaze away.
Xiyan's expression remained unchanged as she knelt and saluted:
"To answer the princess, this servant has no problem!"
Then, she saluted Xiao Nanyan again and said, "Your Majesty, my clothes are wet. I beg you to allow me to go down and take care of it."
Xiao Nanyan hummed lightly.
When Xiyan retreated to the palace gate, she heard Helian Shu's coquettish laughter:
"Brother Yan is so kindhearted that he even cares for a servant girl..."
