Chapter 544 Interlude
Chapter 544 Interlude
Qian Duoduo had some difficulty remembering how she got back. She only remembered that she seemed to fall asleep in a daze, and Chu Yan took her directly back to the palace.
When I woke up the next day, I was still groggy. I patted my cheeks to wake myself up, and then I found that I was not in Qian's room.
When Qian Duoduo thought of the blushing and heart-pounding scene of yesterday, her face turned red with shame. She hugged the quilt tightly like a cute little hamster, and rolled back and forth excitedly on the bed.
Her cute and lovely appearance seemed to make people see the shyness and joy in her heart that was like a deer beating in its fluttering state.
If she were in her familiar and warm home at this moment, she would probably have been unable to suppress her inner excitement and would have shouted at the top of her lungs!
Qian Duoduo adjusted his state and then shook the bedside bell.
Then four maids came in, bowed respectfully, and then gave money to put on more clothes and wash up.
Just when Qian Duoduo was about to ask where Chu Yan was, a maid with a pretty face and dignified manners came over, bowed respectfully to her, and whispered softly:
"Miss Yang, please wait here for a moment. The prince is discussing important matters at the moment and cannot get away to greet you.
However, the prince has already instructed the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal for you. Please eat first. Once the prince has finished his business, he will come to see you immediately."
After saying that, the maid slightly turned sideways, made a gesture of invitation, and led Qian Duoduo to the dining table where delicious dishes were placed.
Qian Duoduo nodded pretentiously, then asked, "Has he had breakfast?"
"Miss Yang, I don't know. It was the servant next to the prince who came to pass on the message."
Qian Duoduo frowned slightly, and after thinking carefully, he secretly estimated that the current time was roughly equivalent to about seven o'clock in the morning in later generations.
She couldn't help but shake her head, thinking that since she had started the meeting so early, Chu Yan must not have had breakfast yet.
So Qian Duoduo waved her hand gently and said to the maids, "You can leave first. I will wait here for the prince to have dinner together."
After saying this, she slowly sat back in the chair, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked out the door leisurely, as if she was expecting the prince to arrive.
When the maids heard her say that they would not eat for the time being, they all knelt on the ground, which scared Qian Duoduo.
"What's going on? Get up quickly?"
"Miss Yang, we have done something wrong. Please punish us."
Qian Duoduo looked confused, thinking that he had not expressed himself clearly.
"You have done well, get up quickly. I am just not hungry yet. Let's eat together after your prince is done with his work."
The group of maids didn't move, they just knelt there without moving.
However, one of the maids complained, "Miss Yang, the prince is busy, and we dare not disturb him. Please don't make things difficult for us. And the prince said that you should go back to the mansion after dinner."
Of course, Chu Yan didn't say this, but the maid's own imagination.
She went to Chu Yan's place in the morning and inadvertently heard Chu Yan say "leave on your own". She thought the prince was talking about Qian Duoduo.
You know, now in the entire capital, almost everyone knows that Qian Duoduo is the biological daughter that the Yang family has found after going through untold hardships.
However, people know very little about the details of this rich girl. They only heard that she was engaged in business and had been granted a marriage contract by the emperor.
As a result, everyone in the palace naturally felt that their noble prince might not be very interested in this marriage.
Besides, Chu Yan is usually busy with work and seldom goes home.
Under such circumstances, there were very few people in the mansion who knew the true relationship between him and Qian Duoduo.
What's more, it was already late when the two returned last night. After Chu Yan properly settled Qian Duoduo, he hurried away and went back to work. He was not seen until the next morning.
As a result, people in the mansion couldn't help but misunderstand and thought that Qian Duoduo was deliberately pestering their own prince.
The reason why those servants took the initiative to say such things was simply because they wanted to leave a good impression on their prince.
After all, in their eyes, the prince's status is extremely respected, and they can't let a woman of unknown origin ruin the prince's reputation!
"Ok?"
Qian Duoduo felt something was wrong when he heard what the maid said.
"Are you sure that this was said by your prince himself, and that he was talking to me?"
Could it be that she was not here with Chu Yan, but was sent to some other place?
That shouldn't be the case. Even if she was somewhere else, it would be impossible for Chu Yan not to wait for her.
Another maid next to the maid who was speaking quietly touched the maid who was looking for death. She really dared to say anything.
Even if the prince doesn't like his fiancée, he brought her back to the palace personally and she will be their master in the future. Isn't she seeking death?
However, the maid also had her own selfish motives. She knew that her prince was not like other rich young men or other officials who liked women. Her prince was truly a pure and good man.
If I am lucky enough to catch the eye of my own prince, even if I become a concubine, that would be good enough.
She thought that her prince didn't like his fiancée anyway, so she plucked up the courage to say, "Yes, the prince said so himself."
Qian Duoduo frowned slightly, "Oh? Isn't this the Fourth Prince's residence?"
Qian Duoduo really didn't suspect that this maid was so bold as to spread the message blindly. She thought that something unexpected had happened that she didn't know about.
"Of course, so you should eat breakfast quickly and leave." The maid spoke a little louder, still with disdain on her face.
Qian Duoduo looked at the maid who was talking to her, and her tone gradually turned impatient.
Qian Duoduo didn't expect to be treated like this by Chu Yan. She gritted her teeth and thought, well done.
"Anba!"
"Yes, Master!"
An Ba had heard the maid talking nonsense a long time ago, and was so angry that he really wanted to slap her twice. When had their prince ever said such a thing?
However, as secret guards, they cannot deal with such matters. He can report it, but he cannot handle it on his own. He can only follow the orders of his master, otherwise it would be an overstepping of authority.
"Go find your master and I'll ask him who gave him the courage to chase me away."
"Yes!"
When he left, he gave the maid a cold look.
When the maid heard Qian Duoduo calling the secret guard, she was disdainful at first. She thought that if she asked her guard to call the prince, the prince would come. Who did she think she was?
But when she heard the servant calling the prince to come over, she sat down on the ground, thinking that she was finished.
