Li Jie was annoyed because of Wang Yuhuan's matter. If Wei Meilin was really smart, she would not go there now. If she mentioned the child again in the past, it would probably irritate Li Jie even more.
Wang Yurong laughed when she thought of this. It's not her fault, but Wei Melin came up to her himself.
In the evening, Wang Yurong was having dinner when she saw Xiaolian running in and said, "Fu Jin, the prince has grounded Fujin."
Wang Yurong nodded, expecting it.
"The prince is coming this way." Xiaolian finished her last sentence with a big breath.
This time Wang Yurong stopped her chopsticks, raised her head and looked at Xiaolian with an unclear expression, trying to taste the meaning of her words, but it was obvious that before she could understand, she saw Li Jie striding away from outside.
Come in.
He waved his hand and said, "Get back."
Xiaolian glanced at her master, turned around and walked out.
Seeing that he had something to say, Wang Yurong also put down his chopsticks. Li Jie sat down on the couch and said coldly, "You pretend to be sick tomorrow and deliver a message to the nobleman in the palace."
What?
Wang Yurong opened her mouth wide.
"Let the noble man come to your house to see you."
"If the prince has something to do with a nobleman, he can go to the palace himself." Why go around in such a big circle.
Li Jie glared over angrily, "You think I don't want to do this? It's not because you said nonsense in the palace today. I asked someone to inquire about me this afternoon. Look at what you said in the palace. What does the emperor think of me?"
What’s going on between the king and his nobles? Stupid woman.”
Your mother, when your adultery was known to others, you still called me a stupid woman, which is too bullying.
Wang Yurong felt unhappy and said, "Okay."
Then she will avenge her old and new grudges together. If she doesn't let them know how powerful she is tomorrow, then her surname will not be Wang.
Li Jie was sitting in the study, surprised that Wang Yurong would agree so readily. He felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't tell why.
He called Ji Qing in and said, "Have someone keep an eye on the word Haitang and come over and report anything."
Ji Qing retreated in response. He didn't know what the prince was going to do, but he did as he was told. Even though Wang Yurong got up in the middle of the night, he didn't wake up.
The next morning, Wang Yurong was sleeping vigorously, but Li Jie had dark circles under his eyes. Ji Qing saw that the prince's face was not good, so he did not dare to ask more questions, so he came to report if something happened. It would be strange if the prince had a good rest.
Wang Yurong didn't know that she was being watched, but when she sent someone to deliver a message to the palace that day, she also privately ordered Xiaolian to go out and have a bed. On the surface, she went to buy snacks from Wenxianglou, but secretly she went to the Yili drugstore.
Xiaolian followed her master's instructions and after entering Wenxiang Tower, she gave the waiter of Wenxiang Tower some money and asked someone to help her go to the drug store to buy things. She stayed in Wenxiang Tower and was naturally not noticed by the guards.
When she returned to the house with her things, Xiaolian finally felt relieved. Seeing her master smiling evilly while holding the things, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"Miss, do you really want to use this?"
This thing cost ten taels of silver, of which five taels of silver were given to the waiter. Because the drug store didn't sell it, he went to a place like Hualou specifically.
Remembering that she asked the waiter to help her buy this kind of thing, and the waiter's look in her eyes made Xiaolian feel uncomfortable all over.
Wang Yurong put the things away, "If you buy it, use it. By the way, have you packed all the things I asked you to pack?"
"It's all packed. Counting jewelry and silver, there are more than three hundred taels in total. According to the lady, each person only brought two sets of clothes, and one package can fit them all."
"Okay, put your things away. When the time comes, girl, I will take you out to visit the famous mountains and scenery in the world." Wang Yurong was very happy, thinking that he would be leaving the house soon.
Xiaolian was worried.
In the palace, Wang Yuhuan received the letter from the prince's palace and guessed that it was what Li Jie meant. He couldn't help but feel happy, but remembering what the second girl said, he threw the letter aside angrily.
Qiu Ju picked up the letter and said, "Girl, it must be the second young lady who doesn't like the girl's good life. What happened? The girl is now a noble person, how can she stoop to go to the palace."
Wang Yuhuan secretly sneered. He disliked Qiu Ju's words very much, but he didn't show it on his face. It was the emperor who asked Qiu Ju to stay that day. If anything happened to Qiu Ju, the emperor would definitely think of her as the master.
Anyway, there are still many days to come, and there will be opportunities to deal with this slave who wants to fly high. Wanting to enter the palace to serve her as the master is false, but wanting to be close to the emperor is true, right?
Having been a maid in the palace for many years, how could Wang Yuhuan not understand this? She has been a maid all the way. In this way, more maids must have Fei Gaozhi's thoughts.
"Who sent the letter?" Li Min walked in at some point and his eyes fell on the letter in Qiu Ju's hand.
Wang Yuhuan hurriedly stood up to greet him and said with a smile, "Back to the emperor, my concubine's sister sent someone to send it, saying that I would go to the palace to relax."
Li Min snorted and raised his eyebrows, "I see you sisters have a good relationship. Speaking of moving my second brother out of the palace, I have never been to the prince's palace. Now that Yuhuan is pregnant, Nalian will accompany you out of the palace."
It’s good to take some time to relax.”
Wang Yuhuan was confused. He never expected that the emperor would say these words, "Your Majesty, I am so frightened. This is my concubine's family matter. How can I bother the emperor?"
Li Min took her into his arms and said, "Your business is my business, so go ahead tomorrow. You don't need to disturb too many people. Just a private visit."
"Then I will thank the emperor first." Wang Yuhuan lowered his head shyly.
But my heart cannot be calm.
I originally planned to look for an opportunity to lie down in the palace, so that I could have a good chat with Li Jie and ask all the doubts in my heart, but now the emperor wants to go with him, where is the chance.
The more I thought about it, the more my heart sank. Could it be that the words of the second girl that day made the emperor suspicious?
Wang Yuhuan raised his head and saw those silent eyes. He lowered his head in panic, pretending to be shy, but he felt more and more guilty.
"I have been with Yuhuan for nearly five years, and I never expected that I would still be so shy." Li Min teased with a smile.
Wang Yuhuan only smiled shyly, but did not dare to say a word.
The next day, when Li Jie saw the figure standing at the door of the house, his smile froze on his face.
Chapter 43: Spring is coming
Li Jie hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, but Li Min asked the guards to support him first, "You are outside, so there is no need to be polite."
"Brother Emperor, how can this be done?"
Li Min smiled and took Wang Yuhuan into the courtyard, "You are the one who doesn't care about rules the least. When did you care about them so much?"
The sentence was obviously correct, but Li Jie felt guilty after hearing it.
Top-heavy, he followed into the yard. It was the first time Li Min came here and he didn't know where to go. He turned around and called, "Let's go to the yard where you and your siblings live."
Li Jie opened his mouth, and then he strode forward to lead the way. In fact, he wanted to talk about his Zhuge Courtyard, but thinking of his guilty conscience, he swallowed the words hard.
When Wang Yurong heard the commotion, she left the courtyard. From a distance, she saw the emperor, whom she had met once before, coming. Her eyes flashed, but she immediately went to greet him.
"There is no need to pay tribute. The emperor is visiting privately incognito." Li Jie was in a bad mood and directed his anger at Wang Yurong.
Seeing him shaking his face, Wang Yurong stood up lightly and said to Li Min with a smile, "I don't know how to be interesting."
But he ignored the cold gaze from Li Jie.
"Brothers and sisters are really open-minded. They are a family, and this is how they should be together." Li Min said with a smile.
Wang Yurong found that he had a good-looking smile, and the taboo in his heart disappeared. "I just come from a small family. I don't care about the rules. If the emperor says this, I am afraid that I will feel complacent again."
Li Min laughed out loud after hearing this.
Among the four people, Li Min and Wang Yurong were the only ones who looked like this. Li Jie and Wang Yuhuan, who had a guilty conscience, just laughed at the side. Wang Yurong glanced at the two of them secretly, thinking that if you want to be a human being, you can't do anything wrong.
The four people entered the room, and Li Min and Wang Yuhuan sat on the couch. Li Jie found a chair and sat down. He glanced over and saw Wang Yurong sitting down next to him, and his face sank again.
Before he could speak, Wang Yuhuan laughed in a low voice, "The emperor said that the family should be more casual. The prince has already sat down, so he won't leave me standing, right?"
Li Jie, who choked on her words, turned green again, glared at her with hatred, and ignored her.
Wang Yurong giggled out loud.
Her laughter sounded very charming to others.
Li Min smiled and asked, "What are my younger siblings and Jie'er talking about, so they are laughing so happily?"
"Nothing." Li Jie hurriedly replied, avoiding Wang Yuhuan's gaze and feeling guilty involuntarily.
Wang Yurong just smiled at the side, not flinching at all when Wang Yuhuan looked over at him. Wang Yuhuan was afraid of attracting the emperor's attention, so he hurriedly looked away.
She felt uncomfortable in her heart. She hadn't said a word since entering the house. She knew it was inappropriate, but looking at the bright smile on the second girl's face and the closeness between her and Li Jie,
But he couldn't open his mouth.
"I haven't congratulated the emperor yet." Li Jie quickly changed the topic.
Little did he know that as soon as he spoke like this, Wang Yuhuan's face turned pale again.
"Isn't Fujin in your house also pregnant? She's Aunt Wei's niece, right?" Li Min seemed unaware that there was anything wrong with Wang Yuhuan next to her.
Wang Yurong could see it all, but she didn't believe that such a shrewd person as the emperor didn't notice it.
Even Li Jie beside him couldn't help but become nervous.
Secretly regretting letting Wang Yuhuan come to the palace under such circumstances, he gritted his teeth and had a plan in mind.
"Brother Emperor, come out and walk your horse." Li Jie took a breath and stood up.
Li Min also nodded, turned around and said to Wang Yuhuan considerately, "It's rare for you sisters to meet each other, so let's have a good chat."
Wang Yuhuan stood up shyly, watched the two of them go, then sat back on the couch, took a cup and sipped it, as if he was the master of the palace.
Wang Yurong didn't speak a word. She was holding a tea set and blue and white porcelain in her hand. The white part had no flaws at all, and the blue part was actually clean without any extra marks.
I don’t know how much something like this would be worth in modern times.
A ding broke the silence.
"My sister sent a letter and asked me to come here. Isn't it just for tea?"
Wang Yurong pursed her lips and smiled without giving in, "Don't you know who asked you to come to the palace, sister?"
