As soon as Zhao Rong spoke, Mr. Cheng noticed the strange face next to his eldest son. There was doubt in his eyes, and he turned his head and asked, "Is this -" Zhao Rong didn't need to salute Mr. Cheng at this moment.
Standing upright, it looks a bit eye-catching.
Cheng Zhu quickly leaned over and introduced, "This is Princess Zhaorong."
Mr. Cheng was startled. He knew that Cheng Zhu went to the temple to pray for blessings, but he didn't know the specific reason for going there. He was even more puzzled as to why the eldest princess was in his mansion with them.
return.
He just thought that Mrs. Cheng and Zhu were clinging to each other randomly. It was not that similar things had never happened before. At that time, he was discussing important matters with his colleagues in the study. She personally brought tea. Unexpectedly, with a flattery, she stepped on her sore spot.
He was so angry that the man walked away and read a book from him, which almost caused him to lose his official position.
From then on, no matter what official business he had, he would do it outside and no longer wanted to entertain guests at home.
Master Cheng felt strange in his heart and his face was dark. He glanced at Mrs. Cheng Zhu on the side, then stepped forward, brushed his clothes and cupped his hands, and bowed politely. Zhaorong stepped aside and said with a smile, "Master Cheng, there is no need to be polite.
"
Hearing this, his heart skipped a beat. The courtesy between a monarch and his ministers cannot be abolished, unless—— He glanced at Cheng Rui, but this time he was stupid and didn't look like he would be attracted by a woman from the Tian family.
It’s just that the eldest son is already married——
His thoughts were messy, but he had no intention of paying attention to the salute. His eyes wandered between the eldest son and the eldest princess, and there seemed to be a guess in his heart.
Looking at Ruan Yuyi's eyes lowered, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He thought for a long time and said in a deep voice, "Xingqiu, your mother and I have something to discuss, so you can go back to your respective courtyards for the time being."
After saying that, he added, "It's a good time to entertain the princess."
Since Mr. Cheng said this, Ruan Yuyi and others couldn't stay any longer, so they left separately, leaving only an ignorant Cheng Rui who was still allowed to stay where he was.
She didn't want to go with Cheng Xingqiu, so she deliberately took a few steps down. Not far away, she heard the faint sound of breaking porcelain in the main hall.
After returning to the yard and receiving the news, Mu Ling, who had been guarding the door for a long time, hurriedly came to greet her. She had been looking forward to it for several days, and finally saw the young lady coming back, so she happily rushed forward to hold her hand.
She didn't want to but Mu Xiang stretched out her hand to stop her. She said in a deep voice and scolded, "Don't be so frivolous in front of me, miss. I'll hurt you." She said that, but she didn't intend to hurt the miss.
It was to inform her, but also to prevent her from not knowing what was involved and having to ask for the reason.
Ruan Yuyi knew that she was worried about her injury, so she didn't say anything. Seeing Mu Ling puffing out her cheeks, she stepped forward and gave him a comforting poke, then smiled.
She smiled, her eyebrows were curved, her face was like jade, every stroke on her face seemed to have been drawn by everyone, and every arc was full of tenderness.
Mu Ling, who was originally planning to reply to Mu Xiang, was moved and laughed. She couldn't hold her breath anymore and said, "Miss, what's interesting over there at the temple? There seems to be a lantern festival recently." She turned to follow Ruan Yuyi.
Asking questions here and there.
As she walked inside, she spoke to Mu Ling in a slow voice, "It's the lantern festival. There are a lot of tourists, but it's so lively -" Such a description made Mu Ling extremely envious. Ruan Yuyi couldn't resist her winking eyes.
With his eyes, he agreed to bring her with him to the lantern festival next year.
Because there was always someone cleaning the room, the windows were still bright and clean. She sat at the tables and answered Mu Ling's words casually. When talking about making lanterns, Mu Ling said curiously, "I really want to see how big Miss's rabbit lantern is."
She is mellow and makes Sister Muxiang smile till now."
"You don't have the chance to see it," Mu Xiang brought up a plate of jujube cakes and joked, "I asked the prince to take that lamp."
Upon hearing this, Mu Ling forgot about the lanterns and asked, "How do the young lady and the prince get along?"
Ruan Yuyi couldn't help but recall the scene of sleeping with him at night. Although the room was dark, there was moonlight, and the sound of the man's shallow breathing could be heard in her ears, which made her feel confused.
She subconsciously touched her earlobes and suddenly remembered her promise to the prince, so she ordered, "Muxiang, get the pair of Dongzhu pendants and send someone to Linglong Pavilion to ask if they can be repaired."
If they couldn't handle it, she could only think about how to explain it to the prince.
Muxiang responded.
Ruan Yuyi picked up a piece of jujube paste cake and pushed the rest towards Mu Ling, "Don't you always crave Mu Xiang's craftsmanship?"
Mu Ling's eyes lit up. In the past, Sister Muxiang protected the young ladies' food and never allowed them to touch it too much. Occasionally, the plates were set out, and only those who couldn't be put away were ordered to share. Sister Muxiang has Jiangnan-style craftsmanship, and she is not the only one.
Greedy, everyone who has tasted it is obviously greedy.
She was not polite, so she took a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, wishing she could stuff it full. Ruan Yuyi laughed at her anxious expression and quickly told her to eat slowly.
She just came back from Shenghe Temple today, but she didn't need to rush to see the prince, so Ruan Yuyi had some free time, and took a nap on the couch for a while. Half of her face was sunk in the quilt, which made her look so beautiful.
The face becomes fairer and slimmer.
Mu Ling looked at her for a while, put down the red tent for her, and tucked her quilt. In fact, even though she was waiting so close to the young lady, she felt that the young lady was thinner than when she first met her a year ago.
He no longer had the lively energy he had when he first arrived.
Mu Ling moved a chair and sat at the head of the bed, watching her sleep peacefully.
"Miss, have you rest?" When Mu Xiang came in, he found that the room was extremely quiet. Mu Ling nodded and made a silent gesture. Mu Xiang understood what he meant and went out quietly. Then, wait for the lady to wake up.
It's not too late to see her again.
Because no one came to call her, Ruan Yuyi slept until it was almost time for dinner, and then she slowly woke up.
Mu Ling heard the commotion and went to the outer room to pour half a cup of tea and put it to the young lady's lips. She and Mu Xiang both knew that the young lady would have dry mouth when she woke up and might want to drink water, so one side would never be short.
Tea.
"Miss," Mu Xiang took out a small wooden box from her sleeve, which contained the pair of damaged earrings. "The shopkeeper said that it would be cumbersome to repair these earrings. Since the lady asked, he will be waiting at Linglong Pavilion tomorrow.
He said, I want the young lady to go there in person."
Ruan Yuyi did not doubt that he was there, so she agreed, "Since I have to leave the house, I will stop by the cloth shop and make some clothes when the time comes."
Mu Xiang thought about it, not to mention the damage to her body before, it was getting colder and colder day by day, so it was really time to buy some clothes for the young lady, "Then let's ask the cloth shop to customize it?" If it's winter, do you want it?
There will be more clothes to buy, and the money in the courtyard may not be enough to make four or five sets.
Ruan Yuyi also thought of this level, so she shook her head and replied, "Put two sets over there to make, and take the rest of the cloth back. I will watch and make another one myself. Anyway, I am idle."
