Chapter 199 The Maid's Marriage
When Chen Shuyao heard the voice of "Yao'er", her face became slightly hot.
He had called out to her like this when they were passionate, but that was at night, not under the bright sunlight like now.
She glanced around, and after seeing that the maids weren't paying attention, she whispered, "What about you, Prince? You're the one being envied the most, aren't you?"
Xiao Mo looked at the little girl's red ears and raised his eyebrows: "You know that too?"
The man looked a little arrogant. Shen Shuyao glanced at him and turned her head away, but she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
She seemed to suddenly remember that the other person was only in his early twenties.
No matter how high his official position is, no matter how stern his face is, he is still the same person in his early twenties.
Having lived in the mansion for a few years, Shen Shuyao had naturally heard about the past of this prince.
For example, he was a leader among children since childhood, and went to the border alone at the age of twelve or thirteen...
Putting them together, it seemed like the image of a naughty young man. She had not been able to connect him with the cold and stern leader of the imperial guards before, but now she felt the resemblance.
Seeing her smiling at him, Xiao Mo couldn't help but touch his wife's cheek, "Let's go back!" the man said, and took her hand again.
Chen Shuyao is still concerned about the marriages of the maids, especially Qiao Wei.
But apart from glancing at the other person a few more times while doing his job, Wuming didn't seem to have any other expression.
There was no trace of emotion on Qiao Wei's face.
That day, Chen Shuyao had just returned from Songhe Hall when she heard Qiao Wei say that Zhao Qian from the pen and ink shop had come.
She looked very happy and said, "She came to thank the boss for what happened before."
Chen Shuyao raised her eyebrows and chuckled: "What did you say to him? To be honest, I didn't do anything."
Qiao Wei said seriously, "Although it was this servant and Wuming, who was with the Crown Prince, who helped him, we all belong to the Duke of Cheng's Mansion. Miss, don't be modest. Since he wants to come and thank you, let him come."
Hearing her talk about Zhao Qianlai as if he were one of her own, Shen Shuyao suddenly had an idea: "Isn't his benefactor Wuming? Huixiang!"
Then Huixiang responded, "Miss! Do you have any instructions?"
"Go call Wuming over and tell him that I asked him to come to Yan Yutang." Chen Shuyao said immediately with a smile.
Qiaowei in the room felt a little strange. The girl always assigned her the task of going to Mingzhetang before, but this time when she was right there, the girl actually called Huixiang over specially.
Didn’t she say Huixiang was immature and couldn’t handle those people?
Although Qiao Wei was suspicious, she didn't think too much about it.
In his mind, he found a suitable reason for Shen Shuyao's behavior, thinking that his master was probably intentionally cultivating Huixiang's ability to do things.
She was just thinking about something when she heard the other party say, "Go to the second gate and lead Zhao Qian in."
In Mingzhe Hall, Wuming had just returned from the martial arts arena. When he heard that Yanyu Hall's maid had come looking for him, he was delighted and hurriedly said, "Let her wait!"
Wuying looked at the figure rushing into the bathroom and was speechless.
Just to go to Yan Yutang, do I have to burn incense, take a bath and change clothes?
He had just been training with Wuming in the martial arts field. In fact, he had only shot arrows for a while and did not use any strength. It was only the 9th hour now, so why would he need to take a bath?
In fact, the two of them stayed together every day, and Wuying also figured out a little bit of the situation. He knew that this companion probably fell in love with Qiao Wei, who was by the side of the prince's wife.
Huixiang, who was outside, just stepped in and was a little annoyed after hearing the whole story.
Why don’t you take a shower early or late, but just take a shower as soon as you get here?
Isn’t he afraid of being blamed by the Crown Prince’s wife?
When the man finally came out of the bathroom, he looked as gloomy as ever when he saw her. Huixiang was also dissatisfied and asked, "What's the matter? Are you unhappy to see me?"
Before Wuming could reply, Huixiang said, "It's not that I wanted to come, it was Madam who asked me to come. But don't look so gloomy, I'm here because Sister Qiaowei has other things to do!"
"What's the matter?" Wuming was just a little disappointed for a moment. Wasn't he going to Yan Yutang now?
We're about to see each other, so there's no need to bother with a little maid.
"She is going to receive Mr. Zhao from the lady's shop." Huixiang said proudly.
Wuming was thinking about that Young Master Zhao. Wasn’t he the person he saved last time?
He looks like a pretty boy with regular features, but he looks too weak.
He knew that Qiao Wei often contacted the people in the shop on behalf of the Crown Prince's wife, and she was so anxious last time because of Zhao Qian.
Could it be...
Wuming became anxious and walked much faster.
Huixiang followed behind and shouted, "Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't you have to take a shower before coming here?"
In Yan Yu Hall, Chen Shuyao looked at Zhao Qian in front of her. He was wearing a blue cloth robe. His facial features were well-proportioned and his face was much rosier than the last time she saw him. He looked like a very energetic young man.
As soon as Zhao Qian arrived before the Crown Prince's wife, he knelt down and bowed respectfully. "My son Zhao Qian, thank you for your kindness in giving me a new life. I will do my best to serve you in the future."
Chen Shuyao hurriedly called him up, "I really didn't do anything, you should thank Qiao Wei who was by my side..."
Then she pointed at her maid and said, "I was taking a nap that day and didn't really help at all. It was she who took pity on me. If you have anything to say in the future, you can talk to her directly."
At this moment, hearing the footsteps coming from outside, her eyes drooped and she said, "I am a maidservant who has not yet been engaged. If you feel..."
"I don't allow it!" Before Shen Shuyao could finish her words, a person suddenly rushed in from outside.
Huixiang, who was following behind, didn't react for a moment.
Having been the prince's bodyguard for so long, isn't Wuming being too rude?
He actually rushed in when his wife had guests.
Seeing her daughter smiling, Huixiang said nothing and quickly admitted her fault: "Madam! It's all my fault for not telling him well."
"You are so stupid! Did the lady allow you to come in? You just barged in so rashly. You didn't allow it? What didn't you allow?" Huixiang asked repeatedly.
Shen Shuyao's voice was indifferent: "Speak! Why don't you allow it?"
Wuming was dumbfounded when he heard the prince's wife and that pretty boy talking about engagement, but since Chong had already rushed in, he didn't care about anything else.
He quickly glanced at the little maid Qiao Wei, then said to Chen Shuyao, "Wuming doesn't want Madam to give Qiao Wei to someone else. Wuming has been in love with her for a while and has been looking for an opportunity to tell you. Wuming wants to marry Qiao Wei. I wonder if Madam is willing to agree to this?"
Chen Shuyao looked at the number one guard beside the prince, his face full of sincerity.
In addition to sincerity, there was also anxiety, as if he was afraid that he would say no.
Chen Shuyao looked at her maid Qiao Wei again. She seemed stunned and looked a little dazed, but gradually, a faint blush appeared on her face.
Chen Shuyao raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh? You actually have such intentions? I didn't know. I can certainly agree to you, but..."
She paused, then glanced at Wuming, who was staring at her, before saying, "But we still have to ask Qiaowei's opinion first."
