Long Yi raised an eyebrow and said with a laugh, "From the steward's words, it sounds like you want to retire to the countryside, right?"
The steward hurriedly waved his hands and quickly said, "No, no, no, I didn't an that. Guard Long, please don't speculate wildly."
Long Yi was the Prince's personal bodyguard. Although he had recently offended the Prince and was punished, over these last few days, he made a coback and began working by the Prince's side again. He couldn't speak carelessly. If Guard Long said sothing reckless like last ti in the street about the Prince, and it slipped out in front of the Prince, he might end up losing his job.
Long Yi chuckled and said, "Okay, it was my wild speculation."
"What are you guys talking about? Oh dear, steward, how did you end up looking so disheveled?" Zi Xia walked over holding a dicine pot.
Long Yi looked at Zi Xia and said gently, "The steward accidentally fell into the flower bed just now."
Zi Xia glanced around and said with so confusion, "Really? This path is so wide, how did the steward fall into the flower bed?"
Her tone was exactly the sa as Long Yi's just now.
Both were favored by the Prince. He couldn't offend either one, so the steward could only smile awkwardly and say, "Haha… I slipped accidentally."
Earlier, he made the mistake of ntioning old age, and Long Yi asked him if he wanted to retire, so now he didn't dare talk carelessly.
The steward looked at the dicine pot in Zi Xia's hand, puzzled, and asked, "Hey! Is the Prince's dicine boiled?"
Zi Xia nodded, "Yes!"
The steward asked in bewildernt, "I haven't taken it out yet, where's this dicine from?"
Zi Xia: "Last ti when the Prince had an attack, there was so dicine left over, and as soon as I returned, I imdiately boiled it."
Steward: "Oh, so that's what happened! Miss Zi Xia is really clever."
Long Yi said triumphantly, "Little Xia is of course clever; she's the smartest maidservant in the War Prince's Mansion."
Zi Xia accepted Long Yi's praise, nodding with a smile, "Yes, that's right!"
"Haha…!" Long Yi stood in front of her, grinning foolishly.
Zi Xia: "What are you doing? Hurry up and move, the Prince is still waiting to drink the dicine!"
"Little Xia, the Prince is a man, it's not appropriate for you to go in. It's better to give the dicine to ."
"Oh!" Zi Xia obediently handed the dicine pot to Long Yi.
Long Yi leaned in closer to Zi Xia and whispered, "Little Xia, wait here for a mont, I have sothing to tell you."
Zi Xia glanced at the steward beside her, blushing, and replied in a low voice, "Okay!"
Long Yi went inside with the dicine pot.
The steward scratched his head and muttered, "Guard Long is really strange. Since the madam is also in the room, why would Miss Zi Xia find it inconvenient to go in?"
Zi Xia looked at him and asked, "Is the eldest madam inside?"
Steward: "Yes, the madam is inside."
Zi Xia's expression instantly turned gloomy. Despite the steward calling her several tis, she ignored him and stood silently at the door, waiting for Long Yi to co out.
The steward shook his head, holding several bags of dicine, and walked off alone.
After a while, Long Yi ca out, cheerfully saying to Zi Xia, "Little Xia, today I bought a hairpin for you outside."
While speaking, he pulled out a delicate and charming butterfly hairpin from his chest, looking quite beautiful, and handed it to Zi Xia with both hands, saying, "Here you go."
"I don't want it!" Zi Xia said angrily.
"What's wrong? You were fine just a mont ago, why are you suddenly angry?" Long Yi couldn't understand a girl's emotions.
