Chapter 114 The Daughter of a Guilty Minister vs. the Disabled Prince 28
Xiao Yan took a step back without leaving a trace, avoiding Bai Zhi's hand, "Why are you here? I don't need you to serve here, please leave."
Bai Zhi's hand stopped awkwardly in mid-air. She stood up but did not leave.
"How can you not need servants to serve you? Your Highness is a royal noble, and everything he eats and wears is exquisite. How can you go out wearing such clothes? Wouldn't it make people laugh?"
"Xiao Yun was born in a prisoner camp, so she naturally doesn't know how to take care of your Highness's food, clothing, housing and transportation. You should leave it to me in the future."
Xiao Yan patiently explained, "I chose the dress myself. It has nothing to do with Xiaoyun. If you think Xiaoyun doesn't understand, you can teach her slowly in the future. Please leave first."
Bai Zhi looked at Xiao Yan in shock, "How can you let Your Highness do these trivial things yourself? Xiao Yun is too ignorant! I made a piece of clothing for Your Highness myself. It is light and warm. Your Highness should change into it before going out."
Baizhi unfolded a crimson robe, which was the style of dress commonly worn by princes in the palace. The collar and cuffs were embroidered with cloud patterns, and on the chest there was a python riding on the clouds, which looked lifelike.
Both the stitches and embroidery are excellent. Even those made by the Imperial Household Department are probably not as exquisite.
When Ji Yunhuan saw Bai Zhi coming, she felt embarrassed to continue lying on the bed. She put on her clothes with difficulty and explained:
"Sister Baizhi, you don't know that the emperor does not fully trust your Highness. If you dress too grandly, it will arouse the emperor's suspicion. The clothes your Highness is wearing now were given by the emperor. No matter whether they look good or not, at least they won't go wrong."
Bai Zhi hurriedly put away the clothes, with a bit of embarrassment on her face, "So that's how it is. I didn't know this and almost ruined your Highness's plan. Then I'll burn this clothes to avoid causing trouble for your Highness."
Xiao Yan hummed indifferently, as if he didn't care much.
Bai Zhi bit her lip, her tone was quite reluctant, "I have been working on this needlework for a long time. In the past, I have always served Your Highness. Your Highness has suffered a lot in the past three years. Now he can't even wear a good set of clothes. If the Queen knew about this, I wonder how sad she would be..."
When talking about the late queen, Bai Zhi's eyes couldn't help but turn red and she sobbed softly, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Bai Zhi was born gentle and lovely, and she was even more lovable when she cried. It was a pity that Xiao Yan was not romantic, and he frowned when he heard this:
"Bai Zhi, people should always look forward. Those who complain about themselves will only sink deeper into the mire and never be able to turn around."
"I thought you were a sensible person. If you keep on being so careless, always talking about the past and not knowing how to be careful with your words and actions, then I will not be able to keep you."
Bai Zhi still had tears on her face, and she knelt down immediately, "I will never mention it again, Your Highness, please don't chase me away."
Xiao Yan was just making a casual remark. Bai Zhi used to be someone close to the Queen Mother and was loyal to her. She would rather suffer in the slave camp than join other people's camps, so he still trusted Bai Zhi very much.
Right now the Eastern Palace is in need of someone to take care of chores, and no one is more suitable than Bai Zhi.
"Get up, do your job well, and I will not treat you unfairly."
Bai Zhi wiped her tears and stood up, "Your Highness doesn't want me to serve you, but I think Miss Xiaoyun doesn't know how to dress. This dress is complicated and Miss Xiaoyun has never seen it before. Why don't you let me teach her?"
Xiao Yan nodded in satisfaction, "Well, teach her more about clothes, jewelry, hair, hairpins and rings. She doesn't know how to do anything. It would be a shame to leave it alone."
Ji Yunhuan's face was already red!
If Xiao Yan hadn't struggled so hard last night, would she not be able to put on even a piece of clothing?
"Then I'll trouble you, sister. Just keep it simple. Your Highness, please go out first and don't look at it!"
"I've seen everything, but now I feel shy." Xiao Yan's tone was intimate. He kissed Xiao Yun as if no one was around, and then went out with satisfaction.
Ji Yunhuan lifted up the fox fur coat, revealing the ambiguous traces on her body. She was so weak that she had no strength left and could only let Bai Zhi put on layer after layer of clothes for her.
Baizhi was very skilled and she quickly put her hair into a bun. She was impatient to wear heavy jewelry, so in the end she only wore two pearl hairpins. The simplicity actually brought out her beautiful face.
She held Bai Zhi's hand gratefully and said with a smile, "Thank you, sister. You took good care of me in the slave camp. Xiaoyun has always remembered it in her heart. Now I finally have the opportunity to repay you. You can keep this box of jewelry. I don't need so much anyway."
"Sister is someone close to the late queen. Your Highness values ​​friendship and loyalty, and will definitely not treat your sister badly. After three years in the prison camp, your body must have been in great shape, and you must take good care of yourself in the future. Your Highness is not a demanding person, so you don't have to come and serve every day. Taking care of your body is the most important thing."
Ji Yunhuan said this sincerely. If she were an ordinary palace maid, she would probably just be grateful. However, Bai Zhi felt a pang of bitterness in her heart and she tried her best to suppress it and not show her emotions.
"I know that His Highness is a very good person."
The two of them went out hand in hand. Xiao Yan was already sitting at the dining table. When he saw Ji Yunhuan, he stood up, with an unconcealable look of amazement in his eyes.
"I told you that you will look good in it. You should wear it like this every day. You are my woman, so you should dress up beautifully. Why do you always wear those tattered clothes?"
"It's not as exaggerated as your Highness said. Don't palace maids all dress like that? It makes it easier to work."
Xiao Yan naturally took Ji Yunhuan's hand and sat down, picking up a soft pig bun for her. "I know you like these kinds of things, so I asked the kitchen to make it for you. It's not as good as what you make, but it's still edible."
Ji Yunhuan took a bite, and the fresh juice burst out, leaving a lingering fragrance in his mouth.
Her cooking skills can only be considered above average, and this is the effect after the bonus of "Mastery of Cooking Skills", but Xiao Yan seems to particularly like what she cooks. He does not care about anything made by the imperial chef, no matter how delicate it is.
Bai Zhi quietly served a bowl of porridge and handed it to Xiao Yan with both hands, "Your Highness, please enjoy your meal."
Xiao Yan looked at her in surprise, "Why are you still here? There is no need for you to serve me. I have already given them the imperial meal. Go out and eat with them."
Xiao Yan seemed indifferent and never said anything considerate, but he was actually very kind to those who served him.
People in the palace were very particular about appearances. Even if they didn't want to eat, the food would be placed on the table and they would be rewarded after they finished their meal. However, he had rewarded them early in the morning just to let the servants around him have something hot to eat.
Bai Zhi said: "Your Highness is of noble status, how can you have a meal without anyone serving you? I am not hungry, I will serve Your Highness."
Ji Yun happily served a bowl of meat porridge in front of Xiao Yan, "Sister Bai Zhi, you are too obedient. Your Highness is not a demanding person. Go and eat quickly. I am here and will not let Your Highness go hungry."
Baizhi watched the eldest prince pick up food for Xiaoyun and didn't know who was serving whom.
"Sister Xiaoyun doesn't know that His Highness likes millet porridge. Meat porridge has a fishy smell, and His Highness has disliked it since he was a child. How can Sister Xiaoyun serve His Highness well if she doesn't know His Highness's preferences?"
