The door opened, and not only Jiang Qi was welcomed in, but also three women dressed in red and green.
Jiang Qi smiled and said hello to Ruan Yuyi, "Little Emperor Aunt." He was still wearing splendid clothes and his face was full of spring breeze. At first glance, he was a romantic and arrogant young prince.
She bowed and said, "His Royal Highness." She couldn't help but feel a little weird in her heart.
Perhaps it was because she mistook him for Prince Yu at first, but to this day, when she mentioned this name, the only thing that appeared in front of her eyes was those cold peach blossom eyes.
Jiang Qi nodded and turned his eyes to Mrs. Ruan aside, "Where does this sister come from? She is so elegant." He pretended to be surprised, clearly knowing Mrs. Ruan's identity.
What he said were words that made people happy.
Of course, no one doesn't like to hear compliments. Madam Ruan softened her eyebrows and saluted, "I have met Your Highness. What kind of sister is this? My daughter is already so old." She said with a gentle smile on her face.
, glanced at Ruan Yuyi beside him.
"It's my young master who is being abrupt, but my wife really doesn't show her age."
.
After exchanging a few words, the maid led a few people into the main hall, poured tea, and prepared tea and fruit snacks.
Jiang Qi was not polite, picked up a piece of pastry, chewed it carefully, and then said slowly, "I guess these are not made by the little emperor's aunt, they taste a little inferior."
Ruan Yuyi lowered her eyes and said, "It's true that I didn't do it. If Your Highness is thinking about the snacks here, just send Mu Xiang to make some later."
"Then I'm sorry." He handed a single-cage golden pastry to the woman wearing silver and red clothes. The woman took it, hesitated for a moment, and then opened her mouth.
This move attracted the attention of the other two people traveling with her, but this woman remained calm.
With her bright red lips and a few white teeth exposed, she wrapped the pastry and bit it off. Every move she made was filled with a beguiling smell of travel dust.
Jiang Qi looked at her with a smile for a while, then looked back.
Ruan Yuyi suddenly thought that this person might be the Qiuniang mentioned by Qingdai.
At this moment, a few boys outside also unloaded a box from the carriage and moved it into the main hall of the general's mansion.
Jiang Qi, who was sitting at the top, glanced at it, shook his folding fan, and explained, "These are the things that the little emperor's uncle asked me to send. They are all the things that the little emperor's aunt used to use when she was in the palace."
Her eyebrows twitched slightly, but she didn't pay too much attention to the pear wood box. "It's hard for Your Majesty to worry about it. This belongs to the palace, not my concubine, so why bother moving it around."
Besides, there is nothing lacking in the house, and even if these things are left out for her, they will only cause melancholy in vain.
He played with the tassels on the jade bone fan and said, "If the little emperor's aunt is willing to return to the palace, it will save the emperor's nephew a lot of effort. I think the little emperor's uncle will also be happy."
She didn't say a word and just pretended not to hear.
His eyes roamed up and down her body. Compared with the innocent appearance he saw last year, the little lady in front of him was even more charming and charming. He paused for a moment and suddenly said, "Yes.
No one has said that the little imperial aunt's demeanor is somewhat similar to his?"
Needless to say, she also knew who this "he" was referring to.
Ruan Yuyi was really stunned, then raised her eyes to look at him, lowered her eyes and smiled. She didn't know whether her expression was similar or not, but she had indeed learned a few tricks.
Jiang Huaiyang seemed to be intentionally teaching her that he would not shy away from her when dealing with people or even government affairs. However, he might not have thought that this method would be used against him in the end.
Her mind wandered slightly. As long as he could not come back, she no longer had to live a life of fear.
Jiang Qi stayed here for a while, then stood up to say a speech, but left the girls he had brought with him here, saying that the little emperor's uncle asked him to bring a few people here to keep her company.
.
Ruan Yuyi was a little resistant to these three girls at first, because she always suspected that these three people were his eyes and ears around her. Even if she did not avoid them on weekdays, she would rarely ask what they were doing, as if they were just a lot of people in the house.
Feed a few people.
The girl who was more talkative among them, the one in red when we first met, seemed to have figured out what she was thinking. He only met her to greet her, and from time to time asked people to bring her some trinkets, or
Homemade fragrant powder, or candied haws made in the kitchen.
Later, the girl who was called Qiuniang simply brought her two sisters here during the day but did not stay in the house at night.
Ruan Yuyi actually felt troublesome for them.
The three girls were about to leave again that day, and she said quietly, "If the girls don't dislike it, there will be no shortage of vacant rooms in the house."
Qiu Niang looked back, smiled brightly, and twisted her waist to salute her, "Your Majesty is the most kind-hearted, but I am so disrespectful. Your Majesty, you can rest assured, I am just the son of the prince."
She saw what Ruan Yuyi was thinking, which made Ruan Yuyi feel a little embarrassed and let down her guard a little.
From then on, they lived in the mansion for a while.
.
Probably because several of the girls were commoners or even slaves, they had experienced the hardships of the world, and their minds were more active than the others. They had red lips and a voice that sounded like a warbler, all of which were flattering.
Xian'er has a playful nature, so he always gets together with three girls and goes to sit in Ruan Yuyi's courtyard, and before he knows it, the entire afternoon has passed.
The friendship between girls is always inexplicable and strong. After more than half a month, these few who didn't know how to be polite at first became more and more wanton and comfortable in front of Ruan Yuyi.
I don’t know whether Qiuniang herself was well-informed or whether Jiang Qi deliberately asked her to reveal the information to him. She always talked to Ruan Yuyi about some things in the previous harem.
For example, her predecessor, Xu Bin, was found to be pregnant. After interrogation, she soon learned that the person she had an affair with was a guard in the palace. Ruan Yuyi was a little surprised that Xu Bin was so peaceful and would do such a thing.
, while secretly sighing that she was pitiful.
It turned out that most of the concubines in the palace entered the palace with longing for love and power. They looked forward to seeing that figure every day. Unfortunately, the new emperor was not the previous emperor, and he did not understand the principle of equal share of rain and dew.
.
However, when the new emperor led the army to go on an expedition, he naturally had no time to care about such trivial matters. Rong Bin, who temporarily held the Phoenix Seal, took it upon himself to confine Xu Bin to the palace and forced her to copy the Tao Te Ching thirty times - which would probably last until the new emperor came back.
It’s all gone.
After Xu Bin's accident, Bai Hua, who had been adopted as an adopted daughter by the Empress Dowager, became increasingly restless and sinking into depression day by day. Since the Empress Dowager passed away, she did not have a maternal family to return to and her status in the palace was not as good as that of Bai Zhiqi.
It also became less embarrassing.
She is the only one who honors the filial piety for the Queen Mother in a serious manner, and she can no longer wear the bright red and purple clothes that make her happy. She is very plain every day, but she is always treated well when it comes to food.
Bai Hua took advantage of the title of the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother, and was accompanied by a nanny and a palace maid. She stayed in a pile of gold and jade, but this gold and jade made her more timid.
