Chapter 136(1/2)
After taking a shower, Zhou Qian really ordered Chen Jiao to help him pinch his shoulders.
The man was lying comfortably on the bed wearing a pair of white trousers, and Chen Jiao had to kneel beside the bed and serve him with her fate.
"I'm bored, use force." After she pressed it twice, Zhou Qian said unhappily.
Chen Jiao had to step up her efforts.
The man who practices martial arts has hard shoulders. After Chen Jiao pinched the left and right, she had to massage her back after pinching the right. After serving her, her arms were so sore and she panted, as if she had done some heavy work. Zhou Qian could hear clearly and wonder why this palace maid was so useless. He turned his head and looked back, and saw the little palace maid next to him flushed, frowned, and pinching him with a fierce look.
Suddenly, Chen Jiao was not prepared, but she still put away her anger as quickly as possible and pretended to be obedient.
Chen Jiao was not angry with this man either. She was just angry with this exhausting job. Only by getting angry can she exert her strength.
Zhou Qian stared at her for a while and continued to lie down.
Her breathing became heavier and more, and the strength on her back became lighter and lighter. Zhou Qian thought of her gritting teeth and found it very interesting.
"Why is it getting more and more tired as you pinch it?" he said lightly.
Chen Jiao wanted to cry. In order to lose weight, she ate fewer meals today. How could she expect that the Sixth Prince would suddenly arrange a job?
She tried her best to use the remaining strength.
"Another focus." Zhou Qian's voice was slightly cold.
Chen Jiao tried her best, but she didn't squeeze out her strength. Her bitter tears squeezed out a pair of them and fell on Zhou Qian's solid back.
Zhou Qian suddenly turned around.
Chen Jiao was so scared that she jumped out of bed and knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, I didn't mean it."
Zhou Qian frowned and stared at her and asked, "What?" Could it be her stinky sweat?
Chen Jiao was indeed sweating all over. She was a clean person, so she naturally understood why Zhou Qian was angry. In order to prove that it was not her sweat, Chen Jiao raised her head tremblingly, with tears in her eyes. This was also the first time Chen Jiao discovered that when she was very tired and had to continue working, she would want to cry.
Zhou Qian looked at her big watery eyes and guessed it, asking in a deep voice: "I am so unwilling to serve me?"
Chen Jiao wiped her eyes and said hurriedly: "No, I just exhausted my strength and was afraid of being punished by His Highness Zhou, so I cried."
Zhou Qian believed that this was the truth.
"Don't wipe it off?" He still disliked her things.
Chen Jiao quickly wiped away two tears from his back.
"Go down." Zhou Qian was about to go to bed.
Chen Jiao loves to hear this sentence most. She raised her sore arms to cover the curtain for him and blew up a few lamps in the inner room. Chen Jiao quietly retreated to the second room. Her bedding was placed under the edge of the couch, and Chen Jiao was exhausted and sweaty, but she could not go back to wash. She endured the greasy feeling and Chen Jiao got tired into the quilt.
At night, Chen Jiao had a dream, dreaming that she was kneading dough in the kitchen, keeping kneading...
It's getting dark.
Eunuch Liu came over and saw Ayu standing in the yard, the door of the room had not opened yet.
"What's going on?" Eunuch Liu asked with a frown. Logically speaking, the palace maid who was sleeping should open the door in advance.
A Yu looked complicated and lowered her head and said, "Last night, His Highness specially kept Ah Jiao vigil last night."
Ayu knew her and Ah Gillian's responsibilities. Now that Gillian is getting up late, his highness must have been too ruthless last night. Maybe the two are lying on the same bed now.
Eunuch Liu didn't believe that Your Highness would favor the Virtuous Concubine, but when he thought of Chen Jiao's charming face and figure, Eunuch Liu couldn't grasp it, so he waited with Ayu.
In the inner room, Zhou Qian woke up and walked straight to the clean room after getting out of bed. He was used to being a master and had long thought that those who were watching the night outside could hear his movements and come in to serve him. Therefore, when Zhou Qian finished letting go and returned to the inner room but found that there was no palace maid, Zhou Qian's face changed slightly and he walked towards Shijiji.
When Zhou Qian opened the door and picked up the curtain, he looked up and saw a bedding on the ground. The palace maid named Ajiao was lying at him, curled up to the outside, her long black hair covered with pillows, revealing a white and pink face.
Zhou Qian grew up so old that he saw a palace servant who dared to stay in bed for the first time.
He settled at the door, then walked over and came to Chen Jiao.
As they were getting closer, Zhou Qian saw the corners of her mouth rising, and he had some dreams.
Zhou Qian coughed.
The people in the quilt are still asleep.
Zhou Qian remembered her eyes that were so scared that she wanted to cry, and smiled, then walked to the table and picked up the teapot and turned it back to her.
Something dripped on Chen Jiao's face. She turned in a daze, but something dripped down, as if it was raining. Chen Jiao finally opened her eyes and looked up. She saw the Sixth Highness standing aside with a teapot in her hand. The teapot spout was facing her. A drop of tea fell down and hit her lips!
Chen Jiao was stunned for a few moments, and suddenly reacted, frightened to death, and crawled out of the quilt and knelt down.
She slept with her clothes. Although her clothes were messy, they were still neat, with only one long hair that was messy, which looked extremely indecent.
Zhou Qian put the teapot in a straightening manner and looked at her without saying a word.
Chen Jiao's whole body was shaking, and she, a palace maid who served people, actually slept in! With such a big mistake, would Zhou Qian beat her and scold her and then send her back to the Xianfei? Thinking that she might fall into the Jiaofangsi, Chen Jiao shook more and more and more, so she forgot to defend herself.
Her head was hanging very low, some of her black hair fell on her chest, some were hanging behind her back, and a snow-white neck was hidden in it.
Zhou Qian stared at her neck for a while and said coldly: "Can't you get up yet? Wait for me to serve you?"
Chen Jiao stood up almost instinctively and said tremblingly: "I know I am wrong, I promise I will never go next time."
Zhou Qian said nothing and stuffed her the teapot, and he went to the inner room to wait.
Chen Jiao quickly rolled up the bedding, opened the door of the hall in a panic, and ran into Eunuch Liu and Ayu.
Her hair was not available for combing, and the collar was wet with tea, which inexplicably attracted reverie.
Even though he got up late, he was not punished by His Highness. Eunuch Liu couldn't help but think of the boss, waved his hand to Chen Jiao and told her to go back to the room to clean up. He and Ayu went in first to serve the master.
Eunuch Liu will make the bed for Chen Jiao for a while and check it carefully. Eunuch Liu found no abnormalities. But last night, Jiao served His Highness in a bath, maybe she was serving her in a bathtub?
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Jiao changed into clothes and rushed back, lowering her head and not daring to look at Zhou Qian.
Two palace maids stood together, one was enchanting and plump, and the other was as slender as a cattail. No matter how fat people looked, they were all strong. Since the fat people were struggling to serve, the thin people were definitely even less useful.
Zhou Qian went to have breakfast first. Although the prince’s breakfast was not as luxurious as the other two, there were two meats and two vegetables and four dishes.
Zhou Qian left half a dish of beef sauce, glanced at Chen Jiao, and said lightly: "I'll give you this, eat more."
The more you eat, the more strength you are.
As soon as he said that, Eunuch Liu and Ayu looked at Chen Jiao in shock.
Chen Jiao didn't care about Zhou Qian's leftovers, but she still knelt down and thanked her.
Zhou Qian took a break and went to the imperial study room. Eunuch Liu walked with him.
The master left, Chen Jiao and Ayu went to the kitchen to have their meals.
In addition to the typical dishes of the palace maids, there was also the leftover beef dish that Zhou Qian had, with five or six slices left.
Seeing that Ayu was staring at the beef, Chen Jiao asked Ayu to eat it together.
Ayu smiled bitterly, holding his own bowl and said, "Your Highness is so proud of you, how can I be so arrogant? You have eaten it all."
Chen Jiao heard a hint of sourness and guessed that Ayu was misunderstood and showed off her. Chen Jiao stopped persuading her. She couldn't stop eating the dishes Zhou Qian admired. Fortunately, Zhou Qian picked up beef in order, and the chopsticks almost didn't move the remaining ones, so Chen Jiao barely ate them all.
After dinner, the two stayed in the side hall to rest.
A Yu glanced at Chen Jiao for a few glances, curious, and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Giao, last night, Your Highness, how did Your Highness treat you?"
Chen Jiao looked at her.
Ayu lowered her head guiltily and held the veil in her little hand.
Chen Jiao's thoughts changed a few times. Before, the original body and Ayu were competing with Ayu to be Zhou Qian's first woman. Ayu was afraid that she could not compete and was eager to make a comeback and offended Zhou Qian. Then she was punished and returned to the palace maid. There was absolutely no good ending. Now, if she agreed to Ayu's misunderstanding, would Ayu not do stupid things anymore?
Chen Jiao looked out the window.
It is a good thing for Chen Jiao to stay in Lingxiao Palace. The Seventh Prince will come to please others sooner or later. Zhou Qian is the only beauties of her and Ayu. If only Chen Jiao is left, even if Chen Jiao attracts the Seventh Prince's dislike, the Seventh Prince is eager to love beauty, and maybe he will ask her. If Ayu is there, the Seventh Prince will have a chance to choose.
So, after Ayu follows the Seventh Prince, will he be killed by the Seventh Prince's future prince's prince's prince's future prince's princess?
Chen Jiao didn't know that the situation in the palace was complicated, and it was difficult for her to protect herself and she couldn't control others.
In short, apart from acquiescing Ayu's misunderstanding, Chen Jiao will no longer take the initiative to push Ayu to the Seventh Prince. She will only avoid the Seventh Prince by herself, and for the rest, she will only be a spectator.
"Okay, it's okay." Chen Jiao said simply.
After hearing this, Ayu was envious and a little jealous. His Highness praised Ah Jiao’s food, and he must be very satisfied with Ah Jiao.
Who should I blame her for being inferior to others and missing the opportunity.
Zhou Qian took a shower in the evening and ordered Chen Jiao to serve him again.
Ayu left lonely.
Chen Jiao followed Zhou Qian into the side room helplessly, but she became more comfortable this time.
After taking a shower, he continued to pinch his shoulders until Chen Jiao started to pant. Zhou Qian waved his hand and signaled that tonight would end here. He didn't want her to tear him over again.
Chen Jiao breathed a sigh of relief and learned from yesterday's lesson. That night, Chen Jiao repeatedly warned herself not to get up late, so she really woke up early the next day.
The light was hazy the next time, Chen Jiao looked at her simple bedding and thought to herself, would she be more and more like a real palace maid?
Just as Chen Jiao was trying to adapt to her career as a palace maid, the Seventh Prince brought two "cabbages" from his house to Lingxiao Palace as a guest.
"Sixth brother, look, who is the mother's preference?"
The four palace maids stood in between, and the seventh prince said in a heartache.
