In the study, Feng Guqiu looked up at Longhu and saw that what he said was true, so he dropped the account book in his hand and said, "Let someone come in."
Only then did Longhu retreat.
"Princess, please come in." Longhu stepped aside.
Mu Lingxue smiled sweetly, "Thank you."
After glancing at the stunned Longhu, Mu Lingxue stepped into the room. The entire study was painted in red, which made people feel a little oppressive as soon as they entered. However, the faint sandalwood fragrance inside made people feel calm again.
The view behind the screen widened, and the person sitting behind the desk was Feng Guqiu.
"I have met the prince." Mu Lingxue half-crouched down and stood up after hearing what the other party said.
Looking up, the person behind the desk looked at the account book in his hand, as if he didn't like being interrupted. For a moment, Mu Lingxue hesitated whether to interrupt what the other person was doing right now.
"Princess, just tell me if you have any questions." His tone was calm, without even raising his head.
"I have just arrived in the Western Jin Dynasty and haven't visited the place yet. I would like to ask the prince for instructions and leave the house tomorrow."
"Just talk to Ziyi."
Well,,,since the matter is so simple, it seems that I have overthought it.
"Then I won't disturb the prince anymore." Anyway, the matter was done, Mu Lingxue felt blessed and turned around to walk out.
Feeling a pair of eyes staring directly at her from behind, Mu Lingxue didn't even look at her head. After reaching the screen, she felt that the pressure was gone. Feng Guqiu put down the account book in her hand, pinched her chin, and smiled.
The corners of his lips curled up, and he couldn't help but feel lonely after only three days?
Recalling what Longhu had investigated, he actually married a well-known prostitute in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Should he be satisfied with humiliating the emperor like this? The hatred in his eyes flashed past, and the expression on his face slowly calmed down.
Come down, he will return everything bit by bit.
On the other side, Mrs. Rong also received a letter, "The prince really agreed so easily?"
Ye Ju also had a look of confusion on her face, "I'm surprised, my servant, but the prince didn't send any guards to follow him."
When the royal family members go out, they always have to be escorted by the palace guards, and every time they go out, they usually go out during some major festivals. This is the first time they want to go out for a walk.
Rong thought about it and immediately laughed, "Idiot, what does this mean? The princess went out without any guards to escort her. Needless to say, the prince and I didn't think of her as a princess, and they didn't acknowledge her because they had changed their minds.
She has no status, so what does it matter if she is a princess? She is not even as good as the women in the big mansion."
Ye Ju's eyes lit up, "So that's it, but I heard that the princess was very happy to go back. I feel bad when I think about it, but I'm pretending to show it to others."
Mrs. Rong was worried when she thought of that beautiful face, but now she finally put her worries aside, "I'm making sweet and sour fish for the prince to eat at night, and I'm digging out daughter Hong who was buried under the apricot tree."
Seeing that her master was happy, Ye Ju happily agreed and went out to tell her servants to get it done.
But she saw Mrs. Dong walking in without announcing her. Because she was beaten, she was afraid of injuring her wound while walking, so she was a little slow, "I have seen my concubine."
Rong frowned slightly, "Your injuries haven't healed yet, why don't you cultivate yourself well?"
Thinking that she must have listened to what she just said to Ye Ju, she felt unhappy. If it wasn't for the fact that her family was engaged in medicinal materials, and her father led troops at the border and was in urgent need of medicinal materials, she wouldn't have to turn a blind eye.
Close one eye.
Mrs. Dong had a sad look on her face, "How can I lie down? I am the only one in the entire palace who has been punished by the prince. How can I see anyone in the future?"
What made her feel even more aggrieved was that the prince didn't even send anyone to check on her afterward. Is it possible that Cheng Cheng had really fallen out of favor like this? There were at least ten concubines in the palace.
Concubine He Rong still spends many nights here. She could guarantee that in the past, but now she can't guarantee whether it will be the same as before.
How could Mrs. Rong not think of this, but based on the needs of the prince, he previously doted on this brainless woman because of her family's financial resources. Although she is punished now, it is just a period of neglect. After all, the prince has always regarded important events as a priority.
Heavy person.
"Okay, you go back and take good care of yourself. When the prince comes over for dinner in the evening, I will talk to the prince. When the prince's anger subsides, you can just admit your mistake by cooking a table of the prince's favorite dishes."
The deputy sister affectionately pulled her to sit next to her, "You are also too impulsive. When things go wrong, you just have to admit your mistake as soon as possible. Besides, there are so many servants present. Although she is not favored,
, after all, she is the upright master of the house, we low-status people, there is no way we can get past her."
Although the following words were meant to persuade, they were like a thorn in Dong's heart. He immediately disagreed, "Master of the Eight Classics? Bah, I don't mind blushing. My mother asked people to inquire. I heard that in the Eastern Jin Dynasty
The country is famous for being a prostitute. If Prince Rui had not been on good terms with her father, who was a traitor general, and asked for an order to marry him, wouldn’t she have always been a prostitute that no one looked up to? She would just pretend to be here.
I feel noble."
Rong was shocked when she heard this and quickly covered her mouth, "Sister, please don't say such nonsense."
When Dong saw it, he was not afraid but became more and more proud. He took off her hand and said, "What are you afraid of, sister? What I said is not false, but it is all the news that my family got from the store in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. If the prince knows this
, let’s see if she can still have a good life in the house.”
After hearing what she said, Mrs. Rong believed it, but she still persuaded her earnestly, "My sister is not happy, so she just said a few words in secret. If this word spreads, it will not be good for the prince's reputation. Now she is married."
Now that she has entered our palace, she is not the only one whose reputation has been ruined."
Mr. Dong nodded in agreement, "No, it will make us unable to hold our heads up."
Rong's eyes flashed slightly, "It's almost noon. If you're eating here, I'll ask Ye Ju to tell the kitchen to fill in some of your favorite foods."
"Great, I want to eat fire-roasted rabbit." Ms. Dong was not polite and ordered her favorite dish.
In the blink of an eye, her eyes flashed, "Sister, why don't you invite the princess to come and eat together."
Mrs. Rong looked embarrassed, "You just had a conflict with the princess. You're not happy after seeing her, so let's forget it."
In her heart, she had already seen through Mr. Dong's little plan. She probably took the opportunity of eating to humiliate the princess with what she had done previously. Ms. Rong did not expect that such a beauty would have such a past.
But this really made her no longer worried. No wonder the prince didn't spend the night in the new house. She must have known this for a long time. Prince Rui helped to ask for the marriage, and the other party was a prostitute. How could the prince not hate such humiliation?
.
Hate hate, the more you hate, the better it is for you.
After hearing what Rong said, Mrs. Dong became even more excited, "It's okay. Anyway, I just want to take the opportunity to apologize to the prince."
"Then follow my sister." Rong looked helpless, turned around and ordered someone to find Yeju and come back.
When Ye Ju came back and heard her master's instructions, her eyes flickered slightly. Seeing Mrs. Dong standing by, she understood. She turned around and left the house. When she arrived at the main courtyard, she saw Shuizhu giving the girl something.
"What are you busy with, sister?"
When he saw that it was Ye Ju, Shuizhu was busy and said, "It turns out to be sister Ye Ju. Isn't it about noon? Our master said he wants to eat tofu, so I asked him to go to the kitchen and tell him."
"Yeah, seeing as I come at the right time, there's no need for this. Our master invites the princess to come over for dinner." Ye Ju smiled and walked over and took Shuizhu's hand, "Sister, take your younger sister to see the princess."
The concubine invites the main concubine to dinner? Where is the rule? He also said that the Prince Xian's palace pays most attention to rules. Shuizhu laughed, it was really ironic.
However, Shuizhu was still lured in. After the report, Ye Ju entered the room and repeated the original words again, not forgetting to add, "Aunt Dong is here too. She said she just wanted to take the opportunity to apologize to the princess. And
I'm worried that the princess will know she's here and won't go."
This sentence made Mu Lingxue unable to refuse. If she refused, she would be narrow-minded. Qiangwei became unhappy after hearing this. She tried to refute but was stopped by Shuizhu's eyes.
"If that's the case, then go back and tell your master, I'll be there right away." Even though it was the Hongmen Banquet, Mu Lingxue really wanted to see what they wanted to do.
As soon as Ye Ju left, Qiangwei jumped up and said, "There is no good banquet, and there must be no good intentions."
Shuizhu also felt that the other party was too ignorant of the rules, "It is the first time that this slave has heard of such a rule that the principal wife goes to the concubine's place to eat. I originally thought that it was okay for the prince to dote on the concubine Rong, but now it seems that the prince has no discernment."
It was rare to see Shuizhu say such unruly words. Mu Lingxue pursed her lips and smiled, naturally charming, "If you refuse once, there will be another time. To save trouble in the future, it is better to send them away right now."
Women are jealous of those little tricks, and they are really not afraid of others hating her. When I want to see it, I have read many palace dramas and ancient novels in modern times, and I don't believe that they can really suppress me.
"Since it's dinner, there's no need to wear something too flashy. Look for something plain." Mu Lingxue had a bad idea in her eyes and told Shuizhu, "Give me your best bun."
Shuizhu understood it as soon as he heard it, and responded briskly, while pulling Qiangwei, who was still unhappy, "Hurry up, you will follow me later, are you satisfied now?"
This girl had always looked down on the princess before. In just a few days, whenever she saw someone bullying the princess, she wanted to rush up and kill them. Fortunately, the princess was also kind-hearted and did not let Qiangwei's loyalty be in vain.
After simply dressing up, Qiangwei was so surprised that she exclaimed, "The princess is so beautiful."
Shuizhu didn't believe that the simpler the princess's dress was, the more beautiful she would be. In this way, the princess's goal would be achieved. She sent the two of them away with a smile, and Shuizhu turned around and entered the hospital.
"Sister Shuizhu, your letter." The unfamiliar little girl thrust the letter into Shuizhu's hand and ran away, without even Shuizhu trying to see what it looked like.
Shuizhu returned to her room and opened the letter. Although the handwriting on the letter was unfamiliar, the content inside made her blush. She scanned the content to find the fire fold and burned the letter.
I no longer felt as happy as before. After thinking for a while, I finally took out a pen and wrote a simple sentence on the note. I put the note back into my sleeve and left when I heard someone shouting that it was time to eat.
go out.
After the girl who delivered the food handed the food box to Shuizhu, Shuizhu secretly stuffed the note in his hand. The two of them moved quickly and did not arouse the suspicion of others. When Shuizhu arrived, after taking the food box,
He only gave it to the girl in the courtyard and went back to the house without any appetite.
