At this moment, Shuang'er walked in from outside, Chaolu hurriedly moved her seat and waved to her.

"Shuang'er, waiting for you, miss the melon, hurry up and thank you Miss."

As soon as Shuang'er approached and saw a large swath of winter melon, she exclaimed again and again. Upon hearing this, it turned out that the young lady had obtained the winter melon from outside.

Shuang'er hurriedly thanked the young lady for being blessed, sat down and took a bite of the melon, which was also happy and couldn't help sighing."It's better to follow the young lady, unlike other yards, there was a quarrel about a winter melon yesterday."

"Oh? How do you say?" There was gossip to hear, and Bai Yuxiao's eyes lit up.Not only she was busy, but the two maids were also busy. Chaolu was busy changing her appearance and sitting in the yard, while Shuang'er was in charge of inquiring about various gossips in the mansion. They were also the ones who listened to the concubine's fighting with each other in the mansion. One of the pastimes in the back house.

"Shuang'er, please tell the lady." Chao Lu was also very curious, so Shuang'er, who was good at inquiring and telling stories, started to tell the story.

While the three masters and servants were eating the melon and talking about the truth of the melon, Si Liu Jingzheng on the other end was very upset.

The servants in the palace who served in the main courtyard all knew that the prince was in a bad mood these days. Everyone thought that the prince was upset because of the busy government affairs of the court, but they did not know that the prince was more upset because of the two months. No trace of water was found.

The spies he sent out were all good at tracking and tracing, but they couldn't find even a woman. The water seemed to sink into the ocean, and there was no clue about her.

Si Liujing looked at his guilt-looking subordinates who were kneeling on the ground for two months, and now there is no news, even the old man Zhao can't be found, making his face very ugly.

"It's just a woman. I can't find it after looking for two months? Is this king given you not enough time, or is this woman really flying away with wings?"

The spies knelt on the ground, heads down, no one dared to say a word.

However, the prince gave too few clues. There was no name and no appearance. She only said that she was named Shuier. She has a good cooking skill, has a hearty personality and a sweet and sweet voice. They all look for such a girl within a hundred miles. After that, even as long as the cooking skills were good, those who did not match the conditions and age were brought to the prince to identify them, but none of them were the ones the prince was looking for.

Si Liujing sat in the upper seat and stared at them. Finally, he asked the spies to collect the punishment. After receiving the punishment, he would continue to investigate. He didn't believe that the woman could not be found. Even if he digs three feet, he will find her.

Dismissed the spy, he was bored in the study alone. The more he couldn't find the water, the more he wanted to find it. Somehow, when he thought of the woman Shui'er, his heart tickled, and he was stunned. The stock fever has nowhere to vent, and it is uncomfortable to endure every day.

It's just a woman, so you can't be bothered by it?In order to put out the fire, he went to a few rooms of the concubine's house, thinking that it would be better to do so. Who knows holding those concubines, no matter how he tossed them, he finally felt disappointed.

These otaku women respect him, fear him, admire him, and do their best to serve him, but they are so soft and uninteresting, which makes him very interested. In the past, he thought that women just need to obey, but now he feels obedient. The woman is very boring.

what happened to him?Is it possible to become a demon?

Especially when he went to Liu Ji’s room yesterday, when he saw the delicate and boneless appearance of her limp on the bed, it made him irritable, and the lust in her body suddenly went out, so he ordered her to rest. He turned around and left, ignoring Liu Ji's astonishment.

Even if he is sitting in the study with the post sent by his subordinates in his hand, he can't calmly read the content into his mind.

After reading it for a while, he irritably dropped the post, got up and strode out of the study, and walked towards the back garden of the palace.

He just wanted to take a walk to calm his heart, but not long after he got to the back garden, he saw a few concubines walking in the back garden from a distance. He was annoyed and turned to avoid them. I didn't want those women to bother him, turning around like this, and finally walked in the most remote direction.

This path has always been few people and few flowers and plants, but the trees on both sides are tall and lush, blocking the sun and bringing a little shade. It is a good place for walking and meditation.

His steps gradually slowed down, with his hands behind his hands, he stepped leisurely, and suddenly he heard the laughter and voice of a woman at the end. He frowned, his irritability rose again, and he was about to turn and leave, but suddenly stopped. pace.

Why does this sound sound familiar?

He shook his head.That's it, now after hearing the voices of other women, they all feel that they are very similar to those of Shui'er. He is really fascinated.

"Although this cold melon can quench your thirst and irritability, but if you eat too much, you will always run into the hut."

"But the cold melon is so delicious, I can't stop it."

Winter melon?By the way, the south made a tribute. Yesterday, Emperor Father gave it a reward. The Royal Palace also got some cold melons, but he didn't taste it, so he ordered people to distribute it to various courtyards.

Now that I heard the cold melon relieve the irritability, I wonder if his irritability can be resolved?He looked up and saw the plaque on the courtyard that read "Wutongyuan". He remembered that the bowl of delicious fish soup was sent by Wutongyuan, and the woman's voice was very similar to water, which inexplicably aroused his interest.

Thinking of this, he stepped into the most remote yard.

He deliberately concealed his breath, his steps were silent, just wanting to take a quiet look at the other person.

Different from other yards, this phoenix yard has many phoenix trees. The courtyard is full of greenery, and the depths and shades of emerald green overlap. Wherever he looked, he could not see a single flower, only large and small plants and trees. The leaves intersect.

There is a fragrance of fragrant grass in the air, which is not as strong as the fragrance of flowers, but it is refreshing and elegant, with a sense of refreshment.

He followed the voice of the voice, stood behind the bushes, and saw three women through the gaps in the leaves.

The two women were dressed as maids, and the other woman was dressed in a blue skirt. It was their master.

Si Liujing looked at the woman carefully. She had a beautiful face and smiled Yan Yan. She was wearing regular clothes without many hairpin accessories. She had only a simple bun on her head, fixed with a hairpin, lying on her side. Talking and laughing with the two maids on the soft chair, the lazy appearance is also quite charming.

Will be sent to him to be a concubine, her appearance is naturally good, but compared to the other twelve Ji concubines, her appearance is not very picky, but it is her who made Si Liujing notice The vivid expression at the time, and the unpretentious and hearty laughter.

Si Liujing had long lost the impression of this woman, no wonder he didn't remember, after all, he had only spoiled her once, so he had the opportunity to look at her again at this time.

Si Liujing deliberately concealed his breath, so that Bai Yuxiao did not find him at all. In addition, she has always been relaxed in this Wutongyuan, without alertness, so she has never found anyone eavesdropping on them, and she is being caught at this time. Shuang'er reported that the cold melon had caused the wrongs and drew his mind.

It turned out that when the cold partition was divided, all the yards were allocated, but Liu Ji’s yard was not allocated, but Guo Chuniang said that it had been given, but Liu Ji’s handmaid Lier insisted that she did not get it. , I realized that the cold melon gave Xie Ji more. It turned out that there were two maids in Xie Ji’s yard, Cuiyu and Taoer, who went to the kitchen. Among them, the maid named Taoer was originally serving in Liu Ji’s yard. For a while, Liu Ji had done something wrong and was driven away, so he ran to ask Xie Ji to take her in, and later became Xie Ji's maid.

Chef Guo didn’t know that Tao'er was no longer at Liu Ji’s, so she continued to treat Tao'er as Liu Ji’s servant girl and gave her Liu Ji’s cold melon. But at that time, the girl in Liu Ji’s yard was also It was too late, and the cold melon went to the kitchen to ask for it after being picked up by others. When Chef Guo found out that she had sent it to the wrong yard, the cold melon entered Xie Ji's belly early.

After Chaolu listened to it, she said in amazement: "There is such a thing? It's no wonder that Chef Guo didn't know that this is a fault, and I can only blame Liu Ji for being unlucky."

Si Liujing stood behind the tree and listened. He thought this Wutong courtyard was different from other courtyards, and the woman's voice was very similar to water, so he walked over to find out. Who knew he heard the right and wrong of these back houses. He had always been tired of women chewing on the tongue, he was impatient, and he was not interested in listening anymore. When he was about to turn around and leave, he heard a similar voice from behind.

"There is fraud in this, and someone must be a ghost."

Si Liujing stopped, turned his head because of this sentence, thought about it, and walked back to listen curiously.

Shuang'er and Chaolu looked at the master at the same time."Someone is making a ghost?"

Bai Yuxiao was not surprised at this kind of cautious play in the back house, and gave pointers to the two maids by the way.

"There are two important points in this cold melon case. One is that Xie Ji has one more maid to collect the melon than other rooms, and the other is that Liu Ji's maid is late. Only when these two conditions are met can the cold melon be successfully robbed."

Chaolu first guessed: "Is it Xie Ji's ghost?"

"Xie Ji isn't going to grab an extra piece of melon for the sake of appetite. She has a good face and doesn't know how to do this kind of thing. Guess."

Shuang'er continued, "Is that Taoer deliberately took an extra portion and didn't tell Mrs. Guo to take the opportunity to avenge her former master Liu Ji?"

"No matter how courage the maid is, she would not dare to go to the kitchen to collect melons without the master's order."

Chaolu guess again."Then Chef Guo is dissatisfied with Liu Ji and deliberately wronged Hangua?"

"Ms. Guo Kitchen is a slave. What good is she doing against the master?"

Every time Chaolu and Shuang'er guessed, they were returned by the master. They guessed every possible situation, but still couldn't get the master’s approval. Even Si Liujing behind the bushes couldn’t help but wonder if the answer was What, listen quietly.

Shuang'er and Chaolu couldn't guess, they were suffocated by the curiosity in their hearts, so they had to ask the master for advice.

"Miss, the servants can't guess, you are really curious to tell who is doing the ghost."

Bai Yuxiao took another bite of the cold melon and said, "It's very simple, it was the ghost of Liu Ji who didn't get the cold melon."

"Huh? Is it Liu Ji?"

"How could it be her?"

Shuang'er and Chaolu didn't understand anymore, looking at the master blankly, Bai Yuxiao decided not to sell Guanzi anymore and pointed them clearly.

"Think about it carefully, Liu Ji can't eat cold melons, but can get three benefits. First, use Xie Ji's hands to teach the maid Taoer who abandoned her lord to take refuge in others. She must have used some means to make Taoer Er thought that the new master Xie Ji hadn't eaten the cold melon and ordered her to go to the kitchen; secondly, it made people think that Xie Ji was greedy for petty bargains, which hurt her face; third, Liu Ji had not eaten the cold melon herself and became a victim , There is reason to cry to the prince. The prince who has always paid attention to the rules must be unhappy when he hears this. Although it is just a cold melon, it is rewarded by the sage. The prince will send someone else to make up for Liu Ji. Come, not only can she get a gift that no one else has, but she can also remind the prince of her. Isn't it three birds with one stone?"

Shuang'er and Chaolu were amazed when they heard this."Wow, it turns out that you don't have to be coquettish and charming. You can buy the pity of the prince with a cold melon."

Bai Yuxiao is not a case where she has never seen a back house woman playing tricks. This kind of trick is too much, and you can guess it after a little scrutiny. Besides, Liu Ji and Xie Ji didn’t get along. Think about their temperaments. , You can get the answer.

"This is the case in the back house. Everyone fights for favor with their own skills, and they have to fight to make people feel unconscious. You have to learn something, know? You can use it when you get married."

Chaolu and Shuang'er protested in unison. The master did not teach them what was good, and taught them what was bad. The three masters and servants laughed together. In this sunny day, they were so comfortable and comfortable, but Bai Yuxiao was too negligent. After returning to the back house, he relaxed his vigilance, and did not notice the sound of someone approaching step by step.

"Really? It turns out that this king's favorite can be bought with cold melon, this king really didn't expect it."

A majestic voice broke the lazy and relaxed atmosphere, and the three of them were shocked.
