The chef at Meishan Villa is very good at cooking, especially the wild vegetables, which have a unique taste.
After having lunch, Su Rong and Ye Guixue left Meishan Villa and took a bus back to the city.
Just like when they arrived, Ye Guixue and Su Rong played a game of chess, which was a draw. When the carriage arrived at the gate of Xie's residence, the game of chess was just finished.
Su Rong did not get out of the car immediately as usual, but waited for Ye Guixue to speak.
Ye Guixue said warmly: "I plan to leave in these two days. The only thing I can't let go of is my little niece Qiu Ying. The princess earlier said that Qiu Ying would be placed in the East Palace to take care of her. I think it is very appropriate. This is still the idea now. I wonder if the princess Do you have any other ideas?"
Su Rong said: "If you trust me, you will place Xiao Qiuying in the East Palace. Although I have not mentioned this matter to the prince, I believe the prince will not object."
Ye Guixue nodded, "Then let's arrange it this way!"
He pursed his lips and said, "On the day of my departure, will the princess see me off?"
"Of course." Su Rong nodded.
Ye Guixue smiled and said warmly: "Prince, please get out of the car! I'm fine."
Su Rong nodded, got out of the carriage, and waved to him as usual.
Ye Guixue looked at her quietly, lowered the curtain, and the carriage left Dongsi Alley.
Su Rong stood at the door, watching Ye Guixue's carriage go away, and let out a sigh of relief, feeling extremely exhausted.
She did not go to the courtyard where the eldest lady lived, but went straight back to the courtyard where she lived. After entering the house, she returned to the bed, got into the quilt, and fell asleep.
When the eldest lady heard that Su Rong was back, she looked at the sky and wondered, "Why are you back so early? The wintersweet on the hillside outside the city hasn't bloomed yet? Didn't you get a reward?"
No one answered her.
So the eldest lady went to Su Rong's yard.
A maid sent by the princess palace came to greet the eldest lady and whispered in a low voice: "Miss Seventh looked very tired when she came back. I ordered anyone who came not to disturb her. She wanted to have a good sleep. "
The eldest lady thought to herself, what happened? She asked in a low voice: "She was injured after she came back?"
The maid shook her head, "I'm not injured, I just look tired."
The eldest lady nodded, "In that case, send someone to tell me when she wakes up."
The maid should be.
The eldest lady took two steps back, still not feeling reassured. She turned back, came to the window, got close to the window, lifted the gauze lattice window, and took a look inside. She saw that the curtains in the inner room had not been lowered, and she vaguely saw Su Rong was lying on the bed covered with quilt, indeed sleeping, she turned and left.
When Ye Guixue returned to Duke Chengguo's mansion, she couldn't bring a smile to Ye Qiuying who was waiting in her room.
Ye Qiuying is a very sensitive child. Looking at Ye Guixue's face, she carefully pulled his sleeves and asked, "Uncle, what happened? You don't look happy."
Ye Guixue looked at Ye Qiuying's grape-like eyes, sat down, and said warmly: "My uncle is a little unhappy, and you can tell."
Ye Qiuying raised her little face, "You don't look very good, and your expression is not very good either. It can be easily seen."
"Little clever devil." Ye Guixue pinched the tip of her nose and sighed softly, "My uncle is overconfident. I just realized today that no one can be underestimated, and you can't rely on your own ability to be too self-righteous. .”
Ye Qiuying frowned, "Uncle, what happened? Does it have to do with Sister Su Qi?"
Ye Guixue nodded, "Yes, it concerns her."
Ye Qiuying was confused, "What's wrong with Sister Su Qi? She is very good to you, uncle. I can feel it. She likes you very much."
"She appreciates me more." Ye Guixue said: "During this period, she has been seriously trying to like me. Unfortunately, I was too confident and not sure, so that now she..."
He suddenly stopped, laughed dumbly, put his hand on his forehead, "I really... How can I talk to a child like you about whether I like you or not?"
He stretched out his hand to rub Ye Qiuying's head, "Your sister Su Qi still likes you very much. As for me, my uncle will handle it by himself. You little guy, don't pretend to be an adult all day long. Be careful not to grow taller."
.”
Ye Qiuying originally had worries on her face, but now Ye Guixue rubbed half of them away. She pouted and said, "Uncle, although I am a child, only I can tell you what is on my mind now."
Ah, just don't treat me like a child. I can understand what you say. Otherwise, how uncomfortable it would be for you to hold it in all by yourself."
Ye Guixue laughed and said, "You are a little kid but a big ghost."
He reached out and picked up Ye Qiuying, let her sit on the seat, and said to her warmly: "I have made an agreement with your sister Su Qi. After I leave Daliang Jingcheng, she will place you in the East Palace."
Ye Qiuying looked at him, "Little uncle, what's wrong with you? You have to let me know, otherwise I won't know what to do after you leave."
Ye Guixue thought for a while, looked at her little adult appearance, and nodded in agreement, "That's right."
He said softly: "She returned my betrothal gift to me. She doesn't want the tiger talisman of one hundred thousand soldiers. Therefore, our engagement is terminated."
Ye Qiuying's face turned pale, "Uncle, why is this happening?"
Ye Guixue said: "It's my uncle's fault that I couldn't make her like me. It's also because I was too confident and not sure. In short, we have agreed to get along like close friends. If you stay in Daliang, she will follow
His Highness the Crown Prince mentioned that placing you in the East Palace will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing, and your life is safe. As for me, after returning to Nanchu, I will discuss it with your grandfather and your father..."
Ye Qiuying bit her lip, "Uncle, you have broken off the engagement, and she has returned all the tiger talismans of one hundred thousand troops to you. Doesn't Sister Su Qi want to go to Southern Chu to be the king?"
Ye Guixue shook her head, "It's not that she doesn't want to be the king, it's that she doesn't want to trade her position as king's husband for the Ye family's support for her."
Ye Qiuying was puzzled, "Why?"
Ye Guixue explained warmly and patiently, "She has someone more important and more concerned about, and even if she doesn't take the throne, she can't bear to live up to it. And I, maybe I was wrong from the beginning. I thought that the relationship between the Ye family and a hundred thousand soldiers
Tiger Talisman is what I rely on and rely on. She is such a calm and rational person, so she naturally knows what is best for her. Since she has accepted me, she has made up her mind. Although she has no affection for me, she gradually
We will get along with each other for a long time, and there will always be a chance. If the water flows slowly, it may not be profound. Slowly, little by little, it will take root in her heart. But now it seems that I was obviously wrong, so I said that I was overconfident."
He sighed softly, "If I had known earlier, I would have chosen her heart. I am the one who underestimated people."
Ye Qiuying seemed to understand, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, who did you underestimate? Is it...that little brother from the Zhou family?"
Ye Guixue was stunned, remembering that Ye Qiuying went to Dongsi Hutong with him to congratulate Su Xingze. Zhou Gu also went to Dongsi Hutong with Su Xingze, Su Rong and others that day. Zhou Gu met Ye Qiuying with a smile.
He gave her a shuttlecock. The shuttlecock was made of the tail feathers of a rooster. It was very beautiful. Ye Qiuying liked it very much. Not only that, he also followed Ye Qiuying to kick the shuttlecock for a while. He could kick the shuttlecock in various ways. He could kick it up into the air for hundreds of times.
It didn't fall, which made Ye Qiuying cover her mouth and open her big eyes and scream again and again. No one in the family would play with her when something like this happened. He had always been steady and would not play shuttlecock with her. From then on.
After that, Ye Qiuying called Zhou Gu little brother.
She also thinks Zhou Gu is very good.
He smiled and said, "Yes, that's him. Uncle underestimated him."
No matter what, he never thought that Zhou Gu, who had already decisively broken off the engagement by Su Rong, would come back and snatch the person away from him, and do so quietly and calmly.
She didn't say harsh words to him, nor did she show off to him. Every time she met him, she treated him politely and didn't let him see the slightest emotion towards Su Rong.
He was two years younger than him and had not yet entered the court, but he was able to give him such a great gift without losing any blood.
