After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven
Chapter 558: Breaking into Prince Yan’s Mansion (2)
Yu Qingli and Xiluo then hurried in, while the two guards behind them were happily eating fruit and talking about the two maids.
One of the guards said in surprise, "It's really strange. She seems to have become two different people after going out. She was arrogant and indifferent before, but now she is much cuter and more beautiful than when she went out."
Another guard rolled his eyes at him. "Even food can't stop you from talking. Why do you care so much? These maids in wealthy families have strange personalities!"
At this time, Yu Qingli and Xiluo, who had successfully sneaked into the palace, were thinking about how to approach Murong Yanhui without being noticed.
Xiluo walked towards the kitchen based on his memory, and Yu Qingli followed closely behind. As they were walking, a slightly fat middle-aged man ran over from the opposite direction. Because of the hot weather, his head was covered in sweat, and even the front of his clothes was wet.
Yu Qingli and the others looked at each other and tried to remain calm. They were not familiar with the people in this palace, so they could not speak casually to avoid revealing any flaws!
The fat man was jogging all the way, but when he saw Yu Qingli and the others, he slowly stopped to catch his breath. He supported his waist with one hand, pointed at them with the other, and stammered, "You...you...two...silly girls..."
Yu Qingli and Xiluo thought to themselves that it seemed that this person must know them, and was obviously very familiar with them, so they had to be more careful!
Seeing Yu Qingli and the others standing still, the fat man became even angrier. He pointed at them and cursed, "You stupid girls, do you really need me to treat you? I asked you to buy some fruits, but why did you take so long? Are you slacking off?"
Yu Qingli and the other two remained silent, while the fat man continued, "Butler Nine is already angry, so it's such a hassle to ask you to do anything! What are you all just standing there for? Go cut up some fruits! If you keep dragging your feet, it'll be dark. I, Old Fei, am so unlucky to be in charge of teaching you two idiots. You deserve to be fire girls for the rest of your lives!"
The fat man's words made Yu Qingli tell the general information she wanted to know. First of all, these two people should be the kitchen maids who cook the fire, and the fat man surnamed Fei should also be in the kitchen, and might be the kitchen manager, and the ninth housekeeper he mentioned might be Qingjiu.
Yu Qingli and Xiluo remained silent and just followed the fat man obediently. Since there was someone leading the way, they didn't have to look around aimlessly and end up in the wrong place. Wouldn't that be a waste?
Fatty Fei didn't hear Yu Qingli and the others speak for a long time, so he asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you two today? Aren't you usually good at talking back? Did you get sunburned? Sizhu? Qingyin? Let me tell you, I'm saying this for your own good. Otherwise, why would I, a steward, have to nag you all the time? It's because your father and I are friends. Don't be unhappy. If you want to become a big girl, you need to have the ability. Listening to people carefully is also a kind of ability..."
Yu Qingli was speechless. The manager Fei in front of her was really talkative. He talked all the way they walked. But thanks to his chatterbox, at least she knew the names of the two people and heard a lot of useful information.
For example, the person who came to the palace today was indeed the Queen Mother!
Perhaps because Yu Qingli and the others had not spoken, Butler Fei seemed to be in a good mood. He felt that these two girls who usually looked stupid had finally come to their senses and at least knew how to listen.
After arriving at the kitchen, he said with great satisfaction, "If you two continue to behave like you did today, perhaps one day you can become the prince's maidservants. Sizhu, go get the knife, Qingyin, wash the fruit. Be quick! If you keep the empress dowager impatient, you'll be in trouble!"
Yu Qingli and Xiluo were both a little embarrassed. Although they knew the identities they were playing, they didn't know who was who. So neither of them moved, but just stood there.
"Hey! What are you guys still standing there for? Sizhu, go get a knife!"
Manager Fei went to pull Xiluo while talking, and Xiluo quickly responded, "Yes! I'll go now!"
It turns out that the face Xiluo was wearing was called Sizhu, and the person played by Yu Qingli was called Qingyin.
Soon, Yu Qingli washed all the fruits and vegetables, and what Xiluo showed next made Manager Fei stunned.
Xiluo was holding two knives, and with a wave of his hand, the fruits and melons flew in front of Manager Fei like flowers scattered by fairies. When he came to his senses, the fruits and melons had already turned into thin slices and were neatly and beautifully placed in the fruit plate.
Manager Fei was surprised and delighted, and his eyes were full of fanaticism when he looked at Xiluo, which made Xiluo's heart skip a beat. She thought to herself, "Oh no! She actually forgot that Sizhu was just an ordinary fire-making girl. How could she have such a unique skill?"
Just as Xiluo was secretly blaming herself, Steward Fei grabbed her hand and said, "Sizhu, your father said before that you have a talent for cooking and that you have superb knife skills. I thought he was bragging, but it turned out to be true! If I had known you were so capable, why would I, Old Fei, teach my unique skills to an ungrateful person? It's a pity that I have a crippled hand now, otherwise I wouldn't be stuck in this palace as a mere steward..."
So, Xiluo and Yu Qingli were forced to listen to Manager Fei's nonsense for a long time until they heard a cough outside, and then Manager Fei stopped.
The person who came was indeed Qingjiu. After not seeing him for a while, he looked more and more like the head butler. He said with a stern face, very unhappy: "Old Fei! Are you slacking off again? Why haven't the fruits been delivered yet? The master is waiting impatiently!"
Steward Fei smiled widely, "Ninth Steward, I dare not be lazy. Look, isn't everything ready? We're just waiting for the front desk to serve it. No one has come yet, and I'm still wondering why!"
Qingjiu glanced at Manager Fei and said, "The maids around the master are all out on business. Hey, don't you happen to have two maids here? It's just a fruit plate. It's the same if you let them go."
"This is not okay!"
Manager Fei refused without a second thought, which surprised Yu Qingli and the others. However, Manager Fei flattered Qingjiu, "Manager Jiu, my two maids are clumsy and not very smart. If they offend the master, their lives will be in danger. I think you should find two smart ones to go with them."
Qingjiu's eyes swept over the faces of Yu Qingli and the others. "I think they are quite smart. They don't look stupid. Okay, okay, Old Fei, stop talking nonsense. What are your names?"
"Slave Sizhu!"
"Qingyin!"
Qingjiu nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, these two are the ones I've chosen. They have good names, are handsome, and don't look like the kind of people who would talk nonsense. Sizhu, Qingyin, bring the fruit plates and follow me! Remember one thing: don't talk nonsense for a while. Don't tell anyone what you see or hear. Got it?"
Yu Qingli and Xiluo nodded meekly. Xiluo was speechless. Qingjiu, oh Qingjiu, if the master knew that you treated the young lady as a maid, I'm afraid she would really change her name from Qingjiu to Qing "Mei"!
Yu Qingli secretly rejoiced. She didn't expect everything to go so smoothly, but she didn't know what would happen next.
Manager Fei wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qing Jiu. "Alright, Old Fei, the master is still waiting in the front hall. I don't want to listen to your nonsense anymore. You two, get going!"
As Qingjiu spoke, he turned around very quickly, not even sparing a glance at Manager Fei. Manager Fei sighed inwardly. What should he do? These two fire-burning girls actually had the chance to go to the master. Who knows what will happen? I hope they don't catch the master's eye!
Yu Qingli and Xiluo followed Qingjiu with trays in their hands to the front hall. Before they entered the room, they heard the sound of something breaking inside.
Qingjiu paused and turned around to tell the two maids not to panic, but he saw the two maids standing aside very calmly, with their heads slightly lowered, looking very well-behaved.
Qingjiu couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. It seemed that this Manager Fei was really good at hiding people. He actually called these two clever girls stupid and ignorant. Could it be that he believed the previous rumors and thought that any pretty girl would be in trouble if she was around the prince?
How foolish! These people really thought the prince would accept anyone who came? Who knew that these were just tricks of the prince?
Thinking of his master's protective look towards Yu Qingli, Qing Jiu couldn't help but sigh. They say love makes people stupid, but it seems the ancients weren't wrong! In the future, he must never become like that!
Yu Qingli and Xiluo stood properly, but in fact they pricked up their ears to listen to the movements in the room.
After the obvious sound of porcelain breaking, the room was surprisingly quiet. Yu Qingli was a little worried. At this time, no sound did not mean anything good. Although the person inside was Murong Yanhui's biological mother, Yu Qingli really did not have any good feelings towards her.
Even though she left the palace due to various accidents, she had no reason to return to the palace and use Murong Yanhui!
After a while, Queen Mother Qin's voice was heard, faintly revealing a hint of fatigue and heartache.
"You really have to take care of this?"
"Yes!"
Murong Yanhui's voice was relatively steady, but it sounded a little weak. Yu Qingli frowned. Could it be that the previous injury had not healed yet?
Queen Mother Qin also fell silent for a while, as if she wanted to appeal to her emotions.
"Hui'er, you should understand mother. She's not doing this for herself. Things in the palace are so cruel. You've always had a brotherly relationship with the emperor, but what about him? In the end, he still wanted to kill you! He never even trusted you."
