The fourth king is handsome and gentle, and he is very considerate to his servants, and never punishes easily. Despite this, the servants in the courtyard are still wary of him, they work hard, no one is lazy, and no one dares to disrespect him. Just because his whole body exuded an aura of elegance and elegance, like a snow lotus on an iceberg, he could only watch from afar, any more would be a blasphemy to him.
Even when Miaomiao stared at him nakedly, he was still unhurried, his eyes were like bright stars, and his thin lips were slightly parted, “Why have I never seen you before?”
The voice is clear and clear, and the wind blows, making Miaomiao fascinated. His tone was cold, although soft, but always with a kind of alienation. The rare and ordinary words uttered from his mouth are beautiful sounds that cannot be played by any musical instrument in the world.
Cen Yun explained for her: “Go back to the prince, she was dispatched by Yuan Guanshi from the backyard. In the future, she will be responsible for serving the prince’s daily life.”
Hearing this, Yang Fu had to look at her more, Xu Miaomiao’s eyes were too bright, he couldn’t help laughing, “What’s your name?”
Looking at him silently for more than ten years, this is the first time I have the opportunity to talk to him, Miaomiao’s heart beat so fast that she can’t speak clearly: “Miao, Miaomiao.”
It was the first time the two were so close, he was right in front of her, without a layer of water separating her, she didn’t have to look up at his figure. It turned out that there was a fragrance like orchids and osmanthus on his body, and it turned out that he was tall and tall, taller than her by more than a head… To be precise, this was not the first time they met.
When Miaomiao was young, she was swept into a puddle on the bank by the current, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t get out of the predicament. Finally, she was lifted by a pair of white and warm hands and sent back to the lake. The owner of those hands was Yang Fu, he was only ten years old at that time, he was a taciturn young man.
Since then, Miaomiao has been paying attention to him in the water, hiding in the crevices of Taihu Lake rocks to peep at his figure, and seeing him for fifteen years.
He can’t sleep at night and always likes to come to the Huxin Pavilion to see the scenery. There is nothing in the dark, but he can stand for most of the night. His eyes contained a lot of complexity and depth, and sometimes he was depressed and irritable. Although he never showed it on his face, Miaomiao could easily detect it. After all, the past ten years of careful observation…was not in vain.
In the blink of an eye for many years, the sensitive and fragile young man faded away from his childishness, and now he has become a handsome gentleman with a considerable tolerance and can advance and retreat slowly.
When the little maid said her name, her cheeks were flushed, and a thin layer of crimson was cast on her delicate face. She is thin and small, with a baby face, she looks like a girl of twelve or thirteen years old. In fact, this body is already as tall as a hairpin, and it has not been able to grow taller because of years of hardships and hardships.
Yang Fu’s lips curled up, and he looked away from her face, “Since you are serving me, follow me.”
After speaking, he walked forward, he was tall and long-legged, and he walked away in a few steps. Miaomiao stared at his back in a daze, until he was pushed by Cen Yun before he panicked, and hurriedly raised his feet to catch up.
There are two other people behind the four kings, these two people have an impression, they have been accompanying Yang Fu to protect his safety. Yang Fu once called them Leshan Leshui, probably two brothers.
The corridors and verandas of the other courtyard are twists and turns, Qionglouyuyu, surrounded by pavilions, and covered with snow everywhere. There are servants sweeping snow in the courtyard who are busy, and most of the time it is quiet and peaceful, only the sound of their footsteps hovering around. Miaomiao has short legs and needs to trot to keep up with Yang Fu’s pace, but she is not used to walking, so she staggered several times and nearly fell down.
Le Shan looked down at her, and when Miaomiao stumbled again, he stretched out his arm for her to borrow.
Miaomiao managed to stabilize her body, raised her head and gave him a grateful smile, “Thank you, Brother Leshan.”
Leshan paused, “How do you know my name?”
Of course, she eavesdropped… Miaomiao suddenly fell silent, thinking about how to explain to him, but fortunately Yang Fu had already stopped.

The attic is exquisite, with curtains and walls, painted beams and carved buildings. There is a pond in the pavilion, the water surface is frozen under the eyes, the strange rocks on the bank are jagged, and the ancient trees are vigorous. This is not the place where the Four Kings live, but the place where he works and reads papers every day. It is called Yunjinzhai.
Yang Fu pushed the door open and entered, greeted by the fragrance of books and ink. There are many antique shelves in the pavilion, on which are displayed precious antiques, jade and precious stones. He walked upstairs slowly and stood in front of several rows of rosewood bookshelves, “I haven’t been here for a long time, most of the books are soaked in moisture, I can’t help you move the books downstairs, and take them outside to dry when the weather is fine. Then arrange them neatly one by one.”
The attic is damp and cold, and it is placed against the wall. A layer of mold has already grown on the back of the bookshelves, and even the covers of the books cannot be removed. Most of this book is the posthumous book of the previous dynasty, which is a collection of the hard work of many capable and wise people, and it is hard to find a copy. The servant who was in charge of taking care of the attic was lazy and didn’t take this place into consideration. Afterwards, the four kings learned that, although they were not angry, they had expelled him from the other courtyard. Now there is a shortage of someone who manages the books here.
Miaomiao obeyed him, blinking her big eyes obediently, “Don’t worry, Si Wang, I…”
Suddenly, she thought of Steward Yuan’s order, and quickly changed her words, her clear eyes were full of seriousness, “My servant will definitely do a good job.”
Slap-sized face, the eyes are bigger because of the thinness, but it doesn’t feel awkward. It is precisely because of this pair of twinkling eyes that the plain little face is brighter. It is clear that his small body only reaches his chest, but he can speak out with a heroic aura. Yang Fu smiled and had a good impression of her, “If you do well, you will be in charge of this place in the future.”
Miaomiao nodded like a chick pecking rice, as long as she can be with him, she is willing to stay anywhere.
After explaining the matter, Yang Fu turned around and went back downstairs, sitting on the desk in front of Fang Qiang and reading a book. Miaomiao didn’t look away until he was out of sight, and began to sort out the rows of books. Some books were seriously moldy, so Miaomiao wiped the mold off the surface with her sleeves, picked up a stack and walked downstairs, and put the books in a corner of the inner room.
The bottom floors are easy to clean up, and Miaomiao moved them in a short while. She looked up, and had to stand on tiptoes to barely reach the upper floors. Her small body was stretched as close as she could, and she managed to pull down a book. Unexpectedly, he didn’t catch it firmly with his hand, and was hit on the head by the book, and his foot stepped on the air, and he fell firmly to the ground.
The sound of the landing was not light, disturbing the people downstairs. Yang Fu put down the scroll and signaled Le Shan to go up and check it out. After thinking about it, he got up and followed him.
Footsteps sounded in the stairwell, Miaomiao thought it was Yang Fu coming up, and immediately forgot the pain, and looked towards the stairway in surprise. With Shang Leshan’s peaceful face, the brilliance in her eyes suddenly dimmed, she pursed her mouth in disappointment, and stared at the visitor with grievances, her eyes seemed to accuse.
Le Shan was stunned, he didn’t seem to have done anything excessive, why did she seem to dislike him so much?
It wasn’t until the Four Kings walked out from behind Leshan that Miaomiao’s eyes regained their brilliance, her long eyelashes flickered, and she stared at him intently.
The attic on the second floor is only lit with a dim candle lamp, and Miaomiao happens to be facing the light behind her back, so she can only see a pair of bright eyes. When they got closer, even the dust and mold on her face could be clearly seen, messily pasted on her small face, it was really embarrassing.
Le Shan was ordered to squat in front of her, and check with his eyes, “Where did you hurt?”
Miaomiao shook her head, then nodded again, “The tail…the feet hurt a little.”
She almost blurted out, but fortunately, Le Shan didn’t care, and instead carefully checked her ankle. He is a martial artist who has been practicing martial arts for many years, and he is very clear about bruises. He squeezed his bones through the white socks, and withdrew his hand lightly: “It’s nothing serious, it’s just a slight sprain. Go back and apply cold water to your feet, and then apply hot compresses the next day.” , it will be healed in a few days.”
Miaomiao oh thoughtfully, looked up at Yang Fu eagerly, as if waiting for him to speak.
The undisguised trust in those eyes made Yang Fu uncontrollably startled, “That’s the end of today, go back and rest first, and come back after your injury recovers.”
The chance to get along with each other finally ended without a problem because of her clumsiness… Miaomiao hung her head down in frustration, and responded sullenly, “Actually, I can still stand up…” In order to prove her words, Miaomiao supported the bookshelf She tried to get up, but just as her feet touched the ground, she shuddered in pain.
Seeing through her bravado, Yang Fu smiled and said, “Go back and rest.”
People’s legs are so fragile that they can be injured so easily. Miaomiao pursed her lips unhappily. Although she didn’t want to, there was really nothing she could do right now.
Si Wang asked Le Shan to take her back, but because her left foot could not touch the ground, she almost hopped and walked. Yang Fu withdrew his gaze and landed on the neatly stacked books in the corner, thinking of the diligent and foolish appearance of the little maid, closed his eyes with a smile, and picked up the book again.

At dawn the next day, the four kings finished their clothes and came to Yunjinzhai. They were taken aback when they saw the neatly arranged books on the bookshelves in the inner room. people. The stack of books in her arms covered half of her face, only revealing a pair of clear eyes, and when she saw him, she called out with joy, “Four Kings!”
It stands to reason that her words are very out of line, how can there be such a maid who is so warm to the prince, but Yang Fu didn’t feel angry, and responded to her for the first time, “Yeah.” Seeing her walking lightly and heavily, he frowned Ask: “I didn’t let you rest today, why did you come here again?”
Miaomiao put the last few books neatly on the shelf, tilted her head, brows and eyes curved, “Wei Ling taught me that today’s affairs are finished today. Besides, I have listened to Leshan’s words, and now I am much better. Only It hurts a little!”
There is another sentence that she dare not say in her heart, she only has ninety days, and she wants to see him every day.
Le Shan couldn’t hold back: “You should be polite when talking to the prince.”
It was only then that Miaomiao suddenly realized, she bowed her head obediently and stood aside obediently, “My servant knows I was wrong.”
No matter how pitiful this appearance is, coupled with her innocent expression, one can’t bear to punish her. Yang Fu nonchalantly motioned her to get up, walked to the table and sat down, and started to read the same as yesterday.
When Miaomiao finished her work, she stayed by his side and waited for orders. Yang Fu didn’t like crowds, so he asked Le Shan Le Shui to wait outside, so there were only two of them left in the inner room.
He read the book seriously, as if he had completely forgotten the surrounding environment, Miaomiao peeked a few times without being noticed, and then began to stare at him recklessly. From the brow bone to the chin, the dark and quiet eyes are blocked by long eyelashes, the bridge of the nose is high, the lips are thin, and the fingers holding the curls are slender and well-proportioned… He doesn’t have to do anything, just sit quietly in front of the window, after the snow melts, The shining white light shone on him, and his unparalleled temperament was enough to make people fascinated.
Miaomiao was unconsciously staring at him, and didn’t even notice that he looked up.
Yang Fu was tired from watching and took a rest, and was about to call someone to buy some tea, when he turned his head to meet the little maid’s straight gaze. He was stunned, her eyes were no longer carefree and cheerful, but a bit of complicated emotions were added, as if she was trying her best to remember the appearance of the person in front of her, there was a gleam in her eyes, and she was about to close her eyes in the blink of an eye. shed tears.
The love in his eyes overflowed his eyes, despair and longing…Yang Fu’s eyes darkened, and he tapped on the table twice to wake up Miaomiao’s sanity.
Yang Fu said bluntly: “Why are you peeking at me?”
Miaomiao came back to her senses, she was caught peeping, and she blushed, and replied in a strange way: “Because I like you.”
