Chapter 161: The Prince's Confusion

The prince took the letter, unfolded it and saw that the letter had some wrinkles. There was an almost inaudible frown on his clean and clear face. He placed the letter flat on the table and gently stroked it twice with his beautiful and neatly manicured hands.

, patiently smooth out the wrinkles.

The princess felt nervous when she saw it. It was because of her. The prince didn't like the feeling of being untidy and messy. She felt a little relieved when she saw that the prince didn't say anything.

The prince picked up the letter and read it carefully.

'I am looking for a beautiful daughter of the Jiang family, whose name is Mei, she is fourteen years old, she has stunning looks, strong muscles and bones, is outstanding and versatile, and has unique talents. However, her beauty is unlucky, and there are robbers who want to rob her. I am giving it to my little sister.

I am a concubine to my dear brother, and I hope that my brother will take pity on her and protect her, so I should not treat her lightly.'

Prince Li Shu read the letter, folded it and put it away, then said to Diandou: "Are you Jiang Mei?"

It was the first time that Xiangdou met the prince, so she didn't dare to act rashly. She just kept kneeling down and shivering. When she heard the prince's words, Xiangdou felt that the voice was gentle but a bit cold, and she shivered in fright.

Her name is not Jiang Mei, but the Crown Princess said that from now on she will be called Jiang Mei and Mei'er.

"Go back to the Crown Prince, my name is Mei'er."

Mei'er, Ming'er is a good name.

"Keep your head up."

Lian Dou slowly raised her head, but did not dare to look directly at the Crown Prince. She had never seen the Crown Prince before, let alone his appearance, and was too frightened to look at him.

If it were Jiang Mei, she would probably take a quick sneak peek at what the rumored prince looks like.

Seeing Lian Dou's appearance, Li Shu thought about Jingyang's description of "Qingcheng". He looked at Lian Dou again. Did she use the wrong word because she had not studied for many years, or was he too picky about the word "Qingcheng"?

This woman is pretty at best, her skin is not too fair, and her skin is not even fair, so how can she be called a beauty?

Li Ju wanted to hold his forehead when he saw it, but felt that it was inappropriate and disrespectful to do so in front of the princess, so he did not comment.

"What talents do you have?"

Dian Dou thought for a moment and said, "My slave can chop firewood with one hand and chop melons in the air. The fire is very bright."

"Pfft..." The princess just took a sip of tea and couldn't help but spit it out.

Li Shu felt that the Crown Princess was a little rude, but he said nothing in a gentle manner and only glanced at her.

"I'm so rude!" The Crown Princess lowered her head with a suppressed smile. She really couldn't help it anymore.

The prince looked at Lian Dou again, thoroughly verifying that he might have been tricked by Jingyang.

He is such a friendly royal sister, and it is difficult to refuse her commission.

But what she said about being 'Ji' is absolutely impossible.

He felt a little headache. It was hard for him to bring someone like her to the kitchen who could chop melons and vegetables. She looked pretty, but her behavior was vulgar. She might be too clumsy to be around to serve with pen and ink.

He said: "Let Mo Yan arrange to serve refreshments in the ear room."

When the Crown Princess saw that the matter was settled, she stood up and left. The Crown Prince handed the letter to Mo Yan to put away.

Jiang Mei was led to the piano room. Because the prince rarely went to the piano room now, there was no one to take care of the piano room. The tool room next to it was taking care of it.

Jiang Mei has now officially taken over the piano room.

Pushing open the piano room, Jiang Mei saw that there were not only pianos in the piano room, but also other musical instruments, but the main ones were pianos.

Jiang Mei also likes the piano, but the pianos used in the Jiang family were all ordinary pianos. She has never used a good piano. Now there are various pianos of different sizes in front of her. She is so happy that she can't help but go up and look at them.

.

"Bell"?

"Hao Zhong" is said to be a famous harp from the Middle Zhou Dynasty, ranking first among the four famous harps in ancient times. The sound of this harp is so loud and clear that it is like the sound of a bell and the sound of a trumpet, which makes people feel excited.

There is also the great sage’s legacy. Oh my God, it is indeed the piano room of His Royal Highness, with two of the four famous pianos in it.

It would be a waste to leave such a good piano here to gather dust.

She leaned over and realized that although these pianos were taken care of, they were not taken care of at all. There was some fine dust on the strings, and the underside of the strings was briefly wiped. She frowned, it was a pity for these pianos.

After the head waiter's aunt arranged errands for her, she took her to the palace maid's room.

These rooms usually have rooms for eight people to a room, six people to a room, and the best ones for female officials are two people to a room.

Jiang Mei had just arrived and could only live in a room with eight people.

There happened to be a person in the room she went to who was old enough to leave the palace.

There are four female officials in the East Palace, one is Ming Zheng next to the Crown Princess, Ming Chun next to the Crown Prince, Ming Hu who is in charge of the kitchen, and Aunt Ming Que who is Jiang Mei's immediate boss and manages the tools, utensils and musical instruments.

Everyone in the foreman calls her Aunt Cheng, she will be leaving the palace next year too.

Aunt Cheng settled Jiang Mei, introduced her to everyone, and then returned to her house.

It was Jiang Mei's first time to live in a room with so many people. The house was not very wide, with bunks on both sides. There was a small cabinet at the head of the bed, which could hold a few clothes and some small things.

In the past, a maid took care of her clothes, but now she had to clean them by herself. She was still a little uncomfortable living with so many people.

Fortunately, they are all girls. They love to be clean and don't have any other strange smells, otherwise she would not be able to stand it.

She was busy making her own bed and tidying up her things, but there were two or three people talking together.

"Look at her tender skin and tender flesh, and her eyebrows and eyes look like a fairy's."

"It's just that it's such a cold day and yet you're wearing so little, you look like a fox at first sight."

Their voices were not loud, but they could not be suppressed. Jiang Mei felt uncomfortable hearing these words, but because she was unfamiliar with the place, she could only pretend that she had not heard them.

But there was another little palace maid who was about the same age as her. She didn't have any bad intentions, and she came over enthusiastically to hold the quilt for her.

She said: "My name is Xiao Xin, I heard your name is Ji Jiang?"

Jiang Mei looked at her. Xiao Xin had a bit of baby fat, her eyes were round and cute, and she was also a little chubby. But she wasn't too fat, just a little voluptuous. After all, real fat people couldn't enter the palace.

Seeing her was like seeing Jiang Wen. Although she was not as pretty as her sister, her big round eyes immediately made her feel a sense of intimacy.

Jiang Mei responded to her with gentleness and whispered: "It's the name given by the Crown Princess."

"Wow, was your name given to you by the Crown Princess herself? It sounds so nice, unlike mine, which was given by the steward. It's Xiao Xin."

After that, she pulled over another palace maid and introduced her to Jiang Mei: "Her name is Xiaoqin. Like me, we tend to flowers and plants."

Jiang Mei also smiled gently at her, but Xiao Qin was not enthusiastic. He just nodded to her lightly and said to Xiao Xin: "Hurry up and go to bed, you are too busy."

Xiaoqin pulled off the quilt and lay down, with her back facing Jiang Mei.

Xiao Xin also listened to Xiao Qin's words, smiled with Jiang Mei, stepped over Xiao Qin, and started to pull up the quilt on the bed next to her to get ready to sleep.

Her step made Xiao Qin dissatisfied and stood up and yelled at her: "How many times have I told you not to step over me, it will bring bad luck to me."

Xiao Xin stuck out his tongue at her and said, "Superstitious."

Then she also lay down. Xiaoqin had a bad temper and lay down heavily.

Jiang Mei looked at the empty seat next to her. The quilt was folded well, but no one had come back yet. There were four people in the bunk bed next to her, Xiao Xin Xiaoqin and her, and the other was unknown.
