Chapter 340

Concubine De gently held Hua Xiaoqiao's hand, she was a little reluctant to let go and said with a smile on her face: "Little Qiao, I know you definitely don't want to get close to me."

She could feel Hua Xiaoqiao's resistance to the palace, or her resistance to power. It was precisely because of Hua Xiaoqiao's inexplicable temperament that she was a little curious. What are the people who approach the palace thinking, but Hua Xiaoqiao thinks that this person is really different from others

"Little Qiao, do you really dislike coming to the palace?"

The answer in Hua Xiaoqiao's heart must be yes, but even if it is yes, she can't say it out. She can feel how miserable she will be if she answers the truth to Concubine De. You must know that this is the palace, no matter what you say Be cautious in your words and deeds, you can't change your decision or your own thoughts because of your temper or habits, and you can't willfully offend people you can't offend.

She shook her head and smiled and said: "Concubine De is nothing. I like the palace very much, but my status is humble, and I am not used to being around here. I also ask Concubine De to promise me not to force me."

Concubine De sighed and made up her mind to respect Hua Xiaoqiao: "Miss Hua, don't worry, I can agree to your thoughts and requests. In fact, I still want you to come and accompany me occasionally. Since you don't want to accompany me I also hope that you can take care of yourself.”

Hua Xiaoqiao suddenly feels sorry for Concubine De, is this woman always so considerate and gentle?Since she is so considerate and gentle, how can she refuse such a woman.

She bit her lip but couldn't stand such tenderness: "If Concubine De doesn't dislike me, I naturally want to come and accompany Concubine De. Of course, if Concubine De dislikes me, I'll just stay away."

Concubine De laughed when she heard this, and felt that Hua Xiaoqiao was still such a kind girl: "You girl really don't know what to say to me, if you really have time, come and accompany me, if you don't have time, I will I don't force you to accompany me, I know you have a lot of things you want to do, and you must have your own plans."

Hua Xiaoqiao thought for a while and felt that she still wanted to tell Concubine De about her own affairs: "Actually, I am under a lot of pressure to open a bank. Although I am a little girl with the help of Prince Jin, people outside still don't buy it. , being despised, despised and bullied is a common thing, so now I just want to be able to do what I want to do smoothly, hope that the business can go smoothly, and I hope that I can live a safe life."

Concubine De felt a little sour when she heard this. Think about it, these princesses in the palace only know how to eat and drink every day, only know how to play or study piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and never worry about their own life or survival. A girl wants to think about how to make money, how to guard against other people's schemes, and how to live a good life for herself. She knows that if Hua Xiaoqiao has a good family and someone takes care of her, she might not have to go out and do it herself. These things.

"Little Qiao really misses you."

Concubine De concubine said softly that her words were full of distress, Hua Xiaoqiao smiled and wiped away the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of her eyes, looked at Concubine De with a smile and said: "Actually, I am very satisfied now, do you know? I think I can It is already very happy to support myself, take care of my family, and make my family live well, Defei Empress, thank you for being so kind to me."

Concubine De burst out laughing: "You are a fool, actually, what should I tell you? Qin Mu is my sister's daughter, but my sister passed away early, I know Qin Mu doesn't like me very much. "

Speaking of which, she is also Qin Mu's aunt, but now...

Hua Xiaoqiao didn't expect the two of them to have such an identity, she looked at Concubine De in surprise, "What did you say that you are Qin Mu's..."

She felt that this answer really surprised her, after all, she had to know that Concubine De's identity was here, she did not expect that Concubine De had such a relationship, this was something she had never thought of before.

Seeing the surprise in her eyes, Concubine De smiled and explained: "Qin Mu has resentment towards me, so I may have never mentioned this matter in front of you. There was a little bit of trouble between me and his mother many years ago. Misunderstanding, he has been unwilling to forgive me for so many years, but in my heart he is still my nephew, but he doesn't believe me, and I have no choice but to help him. Speaking of this is the most helpless thing for me. "

Hua Xiaoqiao didn't expect that there would be so many misunderstandings between the two of them. Thinking about it, she really felt a little sad.

"Hey." She sighed and didn't express her opinion.

Concubine De felt a little uncomfortable: "I used to think that as long as he was safe and sound, but now I also know that he participated in this battle first, but it's not his fault. If I work hard to get better, I can't help myself So Qin Mu could only blame himself for his incompetence.

Hua Xiaoqiao sighed and stopped talking about her thoughts, but she felt more and more that this matter was a little abnormal.

Maybe it was not a simple misunderstanding between Concubine De and Qin Mu, maybe there was something she didn't know about it, or something that was hard to tell, otherwise a person like Qin Mu couldn't be angry all the time.

How can she be caught in the middle to interfere with everything in the middle.

"He may be a little bit overwhelmed."

I could only sigh helplessly thinking about such a thing.

Concubine De felt uncomfortable and held her breath.

"Hey, my greatest hope in this life right now is to hope that he can forgive me. Now this may become a luxury."

Hua Xiaoqiao didn't know whether to expect extravagantly or not. She only knew that the current situation was a bit incomprehensible, but she must still be on Qin Mu's side.

Concubine De also knows that the relationship between Hua Xiaoqiao and Qin Mu is very good. It is not appropriate for her to say these things in front of Hua Xiaoqiao now. At least in her opinion, it may be difficult for Hua Xiaoqiao to stand in the middle, and she may It will be a little difficult.

"It's getting late, you can stay and have breakfast with me before leaving. You don't have to worry about the prince not daring to do anything to you now."

A trace of something unclear and not easy to be noticed flashed in Defei's eyes. Hua Xiaoqiao didn't know what the meaning was in those eyes, but she could feel that Defei's whole aura had changed.

"Ok."

It's just to have breakfast, not to mention that she really feels a little hungry.

Leaving the palace, she looked at the sky outside and still felt that it was free and safe outside, and the time in the palace was really difficult for people to adapt to.

Concubine De sighed after Hua Xiaoqiao left, and the maid next to her came forward and asked intimately, "Empress De Concubine, why are you sighing?"

Concubine De was a little uncomfortable and didn't know what to say: "Hua Xiaoqiao is a good girl, but her temperament is still not suitable for Qin Mu. Maybe it's best to really be friends. Miss Zuo, have you found out the actual situation?"

The maid nodded and said: "Ms. Hui has already inquired clearly. Miss Zuo is withdrawn and rarely interacts with people. What she inquired about is only a little thing. Miss Zuo fell into the water once in the early years, and then her temper changed drastically. She has been living in the attic since then. I went downstairs and heard that Ms. Zuo is very decisive in doing things now. In fact, she helped Mrs. Zuo plan many things in the mansion. Prime Minister Zuo's favorite concubine had a disfigured face some time ago, and it has not been investigated until now. , but I heard that this matter has something to do with Miss Zuo."

Concubine De was surprised by the maid's words that she could think of the tricks in the middle without thinking too much.

"I didn't expect Miss Zuo to be really tricky. It seems that we still have to be careful, no matter what happens, we can't mess up. Qin Mu can't marry such a woman."

She knew that Prime Minister Zuo was also an ambitious person. If Ms. Zuo was in the middle to help Prime Minister Zuo entrap Qin Mu, she would be helpless at that time. All things could only be eliminated from the source, and everything must be prevented from the very beginning. This kind of thing cannot be allowed to affect the overall situation in the future.

Hua Xiaoqiao is very sleepy now, the first thing she does when she gets home is to lie down and rest, last night was equivalent to a whole night of tossing, this feeling is really a bit bad, I didn't expect Concubine De to be so stubborn.

She felt that the most important thing for her now was to deal with things here and leave.

She always felt that she would suffer losses sooner or later from fighting these old foxes.

She understands her weight and also knows what she is facing.

I slept until I heard someone knock on the door before getting up. When I opened the door, I saw the worry in Uncle He's eyes: "Little Qiao, why didn't you go home last night?"

Hua Xiaoqiao didn't know how to explain it. Anyway, she didn't think Second Uncle He should know about this matter.

"Something happened so I didn't go home, what time is it now?"

The weather is not good today, the sun cannot be seen, and the time is not accurate.

Second Uncle He hurriedly said: "At a quarter of noon, Miss, didn't you tell me to pick you up last night, so I came here."

Hua Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "Fortunately, if you didn't come, I would still be sleeping. A lot of things happened last night, and I don't know how to explain them to you."

Uncle He knew that Hua Xiaoqiao meant that he didn't want to continue talking, so he just smiled and said, "Miss, are you ready to go out now?"

Hua Xiaoqiao nodded and sighed: "Let's go, let's go out now." She herself was a little hungry, and she didn't know what to do now, thinking that she had to go to see the people trained by the shopkeeper today. Feeling tired, although she hasn't done anything for a while, she is tired. She always feels that she has done too many things recently, so much that she can't bear it. The only thing that supports her is to keep doing it.

She went to the yard where the shopkeeper lived. This is the yard she helped to rent at the beginning. The rent for a month is quite high, but as long as someone like the shopkeeper can be left behind, she feels that everything is necessary. It is precisely because of this That's why the shopkeeper has been doing his best here.

A boy in Tsing Yi opened the door and greeted Hua Xiaoqiao with a smile when he saw her: "It turns out that the owner is here to invite you inside."

Hua Xiaoqiao has only been here once and this servant recognizes her, she is still satisfied with this, she knows that the servant in Tsing Yi should be the one who will work in the store in the future.

"Where is the shopkeeper?" She asked in a low voice, without any intention of belittling the boy.

The boy led the way and turned back and said: "The shopkeeper is preparing at the back, and the opening will open tomorrow. The shopkeeper is very nervous and afraid that something will not be done well, so he has been preparing for the opening tomorrow, but he did not expect the boss to come. "

Hua Xiaoqiao felt that this young man's memory was still very good, or her own appearance was too obvious, so the young man could recognize her at a glance.

"How are you studying now?"

She wanted to know the results of these people's training in the recent period. This young man seemed to be a little energetic, and she didn't know how the rest of them were. At least she was very satisfied with this one.

The boy smiled and stretched out his hand to touch his head, a little shyly: "The shopkeeper said that we still have to learn, and what he said is that we should have a good attitude towards customers in the future, be gentle and patient, so the shopkeeper has done a lot of challenging things recently. Everyone knows that you, the owner, want to do well and become bigger, so..."

The treatment given by Hua Xiaoqiao is very good, at least in their opinion, the treatment given by Hua Xiaoqiao is the best they have ever encountered, not only caring about their food and lodging, the most important thing is that the salary is very good, it is absolutely impossible to change someone With such kindness.

Even when they were studying, they were given money. Although it was not a lot, it was enough for them. After all, they had to know that they were doing nothing at this time, and Hua Xiaoqiao, who was eating and drinking for nothing every day, had to bear the pressure. very big.

Hua Xiaoqiao looked at the servant with a gentle smile and said, "Remember to be patient with the customers when you do things, as long as you perform well, I will give you a raise."

Unconsciously, this sentence is the most attractive, and the servant suddenly became excited.

Standing in the corridor far away, Hua Xiaoqiao saw the shopkeeper teaching the boys below to boxing. This was the first time Hua Xiaoqiao saw the shopkeeper like this, and she was also very curious that the shopkeeper could punch. Qin Mu didn't tell her things.

Standing in front of the shopkeeper are all people who are concentrating on their studies. Most of these servants are young, fourteen or five years old, which happens to be the youngest, and they are also concentrating when they are studying.

"Remember that you are not just waitresses who greet customers in the front hall. If the store is in trouble and you come to make trouble, you have to be the guards. The owner is so good that we must not disappoint her trust."

Originally, the shopkeeper was a bit disdainful of coming to Hua Xiaoqiao's place at the beginning. You must know that Hua Xiaoqiao's young age and doing things are not convincing. He felt that there was no future for Hua Xiaoqiao, but he didn't expect Hua Xiaoqiao That's good, since he got in touch with Hua Xiaoqiao, he has a belief in his heart that he wants to stay with Hua Xiaoqiao forever.
