Chapter 61 I would rather cry in a high-walled courtyard
Yin Ruhua looked at her and said, "Mother Li, you're welcome. Please sit down and have a cup of tea."
"The concubine is the master, and the old slave is the slave. How dare the old slave sit with the concubine? This is a crime of great disrespect."
Yin Ruhua looked at her with a half-smile, "Mother Li, there is no need to be so serious. You are His Highness's nanny, and I respect you as well."
"That's because the concubine is tolerant, but I dare not forget my duty." Aunt Li said righteously.
"It seems that Grandma Li is really a person who abides by the rules." Yin Ruhua laughed.
Nanny Li said at this time: "Speaking of which, the Queen's 40th birthday is half a month away. The Emperor has already ordered a grand party. There will be a palace banquet. At the palace banquet, the concubine must not be rude.
."
"I, a concubine, am not qualified to go to the Queen's palace banquet." Yin Ruhua really didn't know about this, so she thought about it and said regretfully.
Aunt Li's face was expressionless, "This is not certain. If His Highness the Crown Prince loves his concubine, it would be okay to take her to the palace for a banquet."
The implication is that if you are not brought into the palace by the prince, it means that the so-called favor is just that.
After saying this, Grandma Li didn't stay much longer. She just bowed and left.
"Why does this old lady seem to be provoking me? Could it be that Princess Qingyang has set a trap in the palace for me to go to the banquet and jump into?" Yin Ruhua said.
As soon as these words came out, both pots were stunned.
"The Queen's birthday banquet is no joke. How dare Princess Qingyang be so presumptuous on such an occasion?" Yuhu said hesitantly.
"Who knows, it's not like you haven't seen how crazy she is. A princess with an appearance of three thousand miles dares to come to beat the crown prince's concubine. There is nothing she can't do." Yin Ruhua said.
Curling hurriedly said: "If that's the case, then we won't go then, right?"
"Not going? How can that be done?" Yin Ruhua said without even thinking about it.
For the Queen's birthday, if Situ Ji wants to take her there, forget it. If Situ Ji doesn't take her, she has to find a way to let him take her.
How could she not attend such a big occasion? She had to show her face!
"But didn't the concubine say that Princess Qingyang might dig a hole for you?" Curling said.
"This is just my guess." Yin Ruhua said: "But even if my guess is true, if the soldiers come to block the water and cover up the soil, can I still shrink because of a Qingyang Princess? If she hadn't suffered the losses in the past,
Let her have a long memory, I don’t mind letting her know how awesome it is again!”
The day after Situ Ji was not at home, Yin Ruhua received a letter.
There were only three words on the letter: the old place.
When Yin Ruhua saw these three words, her eyes lit up and she asked Yu Hu to go over and tell Butler Wu that she wanted to take the maids out for a walk.
Butler Wu sent two guards to follow him.
Yin Ruhua did not refuse, so after putting on her curtain hat, she led the jade pot, the curling pot, and the two guards from the Prince's Mansion and went out.
Come over to the theater and listen to the play.
Two guards were waiting outside the box.
Not long after Yin Ruhua sat down, a person walked in through the window.
Yin Ruhua immediately gave Yu Ke and Curling a look.
The two pots came out and said to the guards of the Prince's Mansion: "The concubine likes to eat Yuqionglou's gold cake and hibiscus cake. Which one of you will buy some?"
"I'll go." A taller guard said.
Yuhu gave him money and said, "Then you will have a lot of work."
The tall guard also went to Yuqionglou to buy cakes.
Curling said to the short guard: "I'm going to buy rouge and gouache for my concubine, please accompany me."
"When he comes back, let him accompany the girl. I have to stay and protect the concubine." said the short guard.
"This is the largest theater in the capital, how can anyone be harmful to the concubine? Besides, who dares to be detrimental to the crown prince's concubine?" Bing Ke said angrily.
"The gouache shop where the concubine bought is quite far away. You can go with Curling." Yuhu also said.
The short guard hesitated for a moment before following Curling.
After everyone left, Yuhu entered the room and gave her concubine a look.
Yin Ruhua looked at the man with a smile and said, "Mumu, what have you been doing these days? I haven't seen you in almost two months."
The man she called Wood had a tall figure, handsome features, and a temperament like a sharp sword.
He pursed his lips and said, "You married into the prince's palace?"
Yin Ruhua nodded, "Yes, it's a great pleasure to marry into the Prince's Mansion."
Mu Mu looked at her without saying anything.
Yin Ruhua smiled and said, "Although I am here to celebrate, don't you understand my temper? I am someone who will make myself comfortable no matter what environment I am in. Don't worry about me."
"You have to be careful, the prince is unfathomable, he is not as simple as he seems on the surface." Mu Mu said.
Yin Ruhua suddenly laughed, "This is the first time I hear such a long sentence from you."
Mumu looked at her helplessly and repeated: "Don't underestimate the prince."
"Okay, okay, I will listen to whatever Mu Mu says." Yin Ruhua said with a smile.
Wood was the name she gave him. A year ago, she went to play on her own estate and accidentally found him seriously injured and hanging on a thread in the bushes. At that time, she had a heart attack, so she asked someone to save him.
She hid him in the woodshed and asked someone to take good care of him. She would go there and check on him every day.
But his temperament was too dull, like a lump of wood, so she named him Wood.
In fact, I didn't expect to get anything in return, but I later learned that the wood had an extraordinary origin.
He was one of the successors carefully cultivated by their killer organization. The reason why he was seriously injured and dying was because he was sniped by others together.
Yin Ruhua was frightened by his origins and said that she didn't need to repay him for accidentally saving him, and she walked half way towards the sky.
However, Mu Mu didn't let it go. Later, he privately gave her a small box of gold ingots as a thank you gift. There were five of them, each one weighing twelve ounces.
After that, I would come to see her once a month or so and bring her something every time.
The two people became friends behind each other's backs.
Not even her aunt knew about this matter, only the two personal maids Yu Hu and Bing Ke knew about it.
In Yin Ruhua's dream, the reason why she was able to marry the fourth prince Rong Wang as she wished was actually due to begging Mu Mu to create opportunities for her.
Later, she lived in dire straits in Prince Rong's Mansion, and Mu Mu wanted to take her away, but she was unwilling to leave. She was unwilling to do so, and she would die in the Situ Royal Family even if she was wasted.
It really complied with the saying that I would rather cry in a high-walled courtyard than laugh in the door of a small house.
Yin Ruhua couldn't help but sigh when she thought about that dream.
But her fate is different in this life. She wonders if she will make the same mistake again?
If she makes the same mistake again, if Mu Mu comes to take her away again, she will go with him.
But we can't be delayed for another lifetime and die so miserably. We have to live well.
