Considering Qin Xiaoxiao's health, Jingheng did not make trouble with her that night. He simply hugged her and slept together without even kissing her. In short, he was extremely honest.

Despite this, Qin Xiaoxiao still couldn't sleep well. The weather in March was no longer cold, and her back was pressed tightly against a large stove. The stove also came with a fire stick, so she didn't kick anyone down.

The bed is already very tight, so I can't sleep peacefully.

The next morning, she opened her eyes exhausted, but she couldn't hold it back anymore and bit the culprit's chest through his dirty clothes. She finally managed to get out of bed.

She didn't know that men in the early morning were the most unprovoked, so this bite ruined everything and made her realize that she had been deceived. It turned out that his problem with being hot all over his body was not cured at all, and he might not be cured in his lifetime.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that she finally found the opportunity to crawl out of bed, shake her legs and put on her shoes, silently regretting it countless times.

Jing Heng also got up, knowing that she annoyed him, so he didn't move forward for a while. After washing up, he pulled her to the table and started eating.

Qin Xiaoxiao regarded the little soup dumplings as him and swallowed them one by one, refusing to accept his feeding. Until Jingheng promised to take her out for a walk after she was full, she hesitated and drank all the sweets he filled.

Soup.

Before going out, she changed into dark clothes that were convenient for walking, had her hair tied up in a simple hairstyle, fixed with two hairbands, and did not wear any accessories.

Such a simple and plain outfit not only did not damage her beauty, but also added a sense of elegance and refinement, which made the maid who served her stunned.

When the couple went out hand in hand, the maid said with envy: "Madam is beautiful, and is loved by the Marquis. Even His Highness loves her. I am afraid there are not many people as blessed as Madam in this world."

Qingshu said: "To be able to make His Highness and the Marquis do this, the Madam must be outstanding. If you have the opportunity to serve in front of the Madam, you might as well learn more. If you can learn even a little bit, you will be lucky."

The maid sighed and said sadly: "Sister Qingshu, do you think I don't want to do it? But the madam has a maid to marry her, and they are learning the rules in the front yard now. After they have learned the rules in two days, they will definitely come to serve the madam.

We must go back to where we came from.”

Princess Protector is generous and will let her maids who are over 20 years old go out of the palace to get married, and will also reward them with a dowry. However, after seeing the wealth in the palace, there are a few people who are willing to marry a mediocre man and live a mediocre life.

Woolen cloth?

If these maids want to stand out, they must either show their faces in front of their masters, gain his favor, and rely on their masters to find a good marriage. Or they can use some extraordinary methods to become masters themselves, and gain glory and wealth at their fingertips.

There are three masters in the huge princess mansion. Princess Protector has Hongying and a few waiting in front of her, so no one else can get close. Not to mention Jingheng, who never has to be served by a maid, and will beat out anyone who dares to do anything wrong.

.

It was much easier to find Qin Xiaoxiao, their new master. They couldn't wait to talk to a few big managers through their connections, hoping to be served by the new master. However, the new master brought his own maids to marry him, so it was not their turn to show courtesy.

"It's hard to tell. How can six maids be enough for the two masters, Lord Marquis and Madam?" Qingshu said calmly: "According to the usual practice, An Yiyuan needs at least twenty people, and the remaining dozen are

Don’t the vacancies have to be filled by people from the government?”

When she said this, the maid's eyes lit up: "Sister Qingshu, is this true?"

Qingshu smiled and said: "Of course it is true. After Madam arranges the six girls she brought, the remaining dozen vacancies are your chance. You have to perform well. Madam will see it and will stay."

Get yours."

The maid was extremely happy and said gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Qingshu. I will definitely behave well in front of Madam and try to stay in Anyiyuan."

After that, she asked curiously: "Sister Qingshu, don't you want to stay?"

Hearing this, Qingshu showed a hint of shyness on his face: "I will be twenty next year, and my family is waiting for me to go back and get married."

The maid had vaguely heard that she had a fiancé before. When she heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and joked: "Sister Qingshu is such a good girl, I don't know which boy she will take advantage of."

A tall and majestic figure appeared in Qingshu's mind. He couldn't help but blush, and spat: "Do your job well and try to stay with Madam!"

The maid giggled, but she sincerely hoped that she would marry a good man.

Most of the maids currently serving in Anyiyuan want to stay, and many of them have thoughts about Jing Heng. They didn't before because they didn't have the chance to get close to him. If they can stay this time, it will be a God-given opportunity.

"Brother Li, where are we going?" Qin Xiaoxiao rode Dabai and was taken outside the city by Jingheng. Looking at the unfamiliar scenery along the way, she couldn't help but ask: "Are you going to climb a mountain?"

Jing Heng shook his head and pointed his whip forward: "Today is your sixteenth birthday. I will take you to the lake to enjoy the spring."

Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that he was talking about his birthday on March 20th, and couldn't help but laugh: "So you still remember it."

Jing Heng looked at her: "When did I forget?"

Qin Xiaoxiao grinned, and the shame accumulated in the past two days disappeared without a trace: "Every year on my birthday, you give me a gift, and I keep these gifts well."

Thinking of Brother Li's birthday, she often forgets it, and she can't help but feel a little embarrassed. She can't forget Brother Li's birthday this year.

Seeing that she had a smile on her face, Jing Heng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and magically took out a small box and handed it to her: "This year's birthday gift, open it and take a look."

Qin Xiaoxiao reined in the horse and stopped, opened the small box, and found a pair of emerald koi heads and faces. One look at the style and it was clear that he had drawn the pattern himself and asked the master to make it.

This head and face are cute and delicate, and the jade color suits her very well. In the past, Xianheng Heng always gave her trinkets to play with, but this was the first time he gave her a head and face.

After playing with it admiringly, Qin Xiaoxiao sighed: "Brother Li, how much you like koi!"

It's not enough to keep a bunch of them in the pond, the clothes and clothes should be made to look like koi fish. Even she can see traces of koi fish everywhere. When she goes out these days, there is no need to say it clearly, people can tell at a glance that they are

Couple.

Jingheng did not answer, only said: "Next time I will draw a cat."

Koi and cats appear most often in his dreams, and he is also the best at painting them.

Qin Xiaoxiao also had a lot of things for cats. When he heard what he said, he immediately shut up, not wanting to use either fish or cats in the future.

It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the lake.

This lake looks smaller than Qinghu Lake, but it is the largest lake in the capital, named Xingyue Lake.

The scenery of Xingyue Lake is excellent, and the scenery in each season has its own characteristics. Some nobles from aristocratic families have enclosed the land to build villas here, so the roads along the lake are very well built, and many flowers and green plants are planted.

The road itself is a landscape.

For this reason, Xingyue Lake attracts many literati and poets to come here every year to enjoy the scenery, leaving behind many popular poems.

Many young men and women gathered by the lake. When they saw Qin Xiaoxiao and Jing Heng coming towards them, they couldn't help but take a few more glances. Their appearance was so outstanding that it was hard not to notice them.

.

Not surprised, the couple walked along the bluestone corridor to the water port and prepared to board a boat for a lake cruise.

This painting boat was ordered by Jingheng in advance when he followed Qin Xiaoxiao to the Qin Mansion yesterday.

At this moment, a high-pitched "little uncle" came to their ears. The two subconsciously looked over and saw Lian Chengyu walking over quickly, surrounded by a group of people.

Seeing Qin Xiaoxiao standing next to him with a smile on his face, these seventeen and eighteen-year-old boys couldn't help but stare straight, and said in an incredible voice: "Is this my little cousin?"

Jing Heng frowned and stood in front of his wife, blocking their view: "Why are you here? Are you playing truant?"

Lian Chengyu and others' expressions froze, and they uncomfortably avoided the sharp gaze of their little cousin.

"Little, little uncle, it's not like you're playing truant. We've already asked for leave. Didn't you always ask for leave before?" Lian Chengyu said harshly. When he said this, he glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao who was hidden behind him.

Jing Heng was not their father, so he didn't care whether they were skipping school or not. He just didn't want to be disturbed by them, so he said with a cold face: "I said hello, you should go."

"Uncle, we haven't said hello to our little aunt yet, so it would be rude to leave like this."

Lian Chengyu said with a smile, then looked away from Jing Heng's cold face and looked at Qin Xiaoxiao behind him, stepped forward and saluted: "Little aunt, I am Chengyu, you should remember me, right?"

Qin Xiaoxiao was deeply impressed by the two big tigers he met on the hunting ground more than a year ago. Naturally, he would not forget the fool in front of him who had offended the big tigers, so he responded with a smile: "Remember, you are Chengyu's nephew."

.”

As soon as the word "nephew" came out, the corner of Lian Chengyu's mouth twitched, and he felt awkward. However, he was older than the other party, but in terms of seniority, he was indeed a nephew, so he said dryly: "Little aunt has a really good memory.

"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the cousins ​​behind him crowded forward and rushed to introduce themselves:

"Little cousin, I am Chengyao, from the second prince's house."

"Little cousin, I am Chengyan, from the sixth prince's house."

"Little cousin, I am Chengrui, from the fourth prince's house."

"..."

Seven or eight people talked in all directions, and the scene was very noisy at one point, as if there were five hundred ducks quacking.

Qin Xiaoxiao had no emotion on her face, and responded to everything with a smile, silently complaining in her heart: No wonder he and Lian Chengyu can play together, their temperaments are so similar.

Jing Heng saw their mouths talking and their eyes wandering dishonestly on his wife. He wished he could step forward and kick them into the water.

Fortunately, he did not lose his sense. He said to Lian Chengyu and others who were still chatting: "The hello has been said, you can go."

After saying that, he took Qin Xiaoxiao's hand and turned around to get on the boat.

"Uncle, since we have met, how about we go to the lake and enjoy the scenery together?" Lian Chengyu stopped in front of the two of them, pointed at the others and suggested to Jingheng: "These are the first time they have met my little aunt.

, it’s time for the little aunt to love them.”

Qin Xiaoxiao was speechless: She is not a kid of several years old, so how can she be hurt? Should she teach them how to behave or should each of them give a piece of candy?

As a result, these nephews who were older than her were very polite and said one after another: "Little cousin, little cousin has never taken us to play, just let us go on the boat, we promise not to make any trouble."

Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a headache when looking at these eldest nephews.

"Everyone is doing his own thing, let's just pretend we've never met before." Jing Heng dropped these words and took Qin Xiaoxiao directly onto the boat.

Unexpectedly, Lian Chengyu was so shameless that he followed them onto the boat like a tail and greeted the others: "Come up quickly, my little uncle's boat is big enough to accommodate them."

Those people knew Jing Heng's temperament and were initially hesitant to get on board. However, the thought of getting close to his little cousin overcame their reason. A group of people chose to listen to Lian Chengyu's words and quickly boarded the board one by one as if they were being chased by ghosts.

Painting boat.
