Chapter 23: Yung Zhaoyi
Outside the door walked in a woman wearing a plain Luo skirt, she wore a golden hairpin on her head, and pearls were attached to her eyebrows.
It's no wonder that he was promoted so quickly.
"Ask Rong Zhaoyi'an. ”
"I can't afford such a big gift from the princess and the county lord. Rong Zhaoyi smiled slightly, "I don't know what happened to the two of you?"
Shen Chuchu glanced at Zhao Xiyue, coughed twice, and said lightly, "I'm idle, and I heard the ninth princess say that Rong Zhaoyi is beautiful, so I took the liberty to come and see what a beauty is like." ”
Rong Zhaoyi sneered.
"County Lord Rongyu will really make fun of me. But since the two of you are here, I can't slack off. I have a good pastry in the kitchenette here, and I can try it for both of you. ”
As he spoke, a palace maid brought it with a plate. Shen Chuchu picked up a piece of jujube paste cake and tasted it, and nodded with satisfaction, "Sweet but not greasy, it melts in your mouth." ”
"Speaking of which, now that Zhaoyi is pregnant, you have to be careful in everything, you may not eat things like pastries, and some foods will damage the dragon fetus. ”
Zhao Xiyue raised her eyebrows slightly, "You still know this?"
"When I was a child, I learned a little from the barefoot doctor, this woman is pregnant, and she has a lot of knowledge, not only to be careful with food, but also with the incense, tea, and even the flowers that are usually placed in the room. Shen Chuchu said with a smile.
Rong Zhaoyi's face was a little unsightly, she looked down at the tea in her cup, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"It's not too early, we're going to say goodbye, thank you Yung Zhaoyi for your hospitality. ”
After sending the two away, Rong Zhaoyi sat quietly in the room for a while, and the big palace maid beside her looked at her and hesitated to speak, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?"
"I don't know the Ninth Princess well, and it's the first time I've met this Rongyu County Lord. What do you mean by saying that the two of them came to me for no reason and said such things?"
"You mean ......"
"The way they look at them is like a reminder of something. ”
Rong Zhaoyi pursed her lips, "Is there anything new in the palace recently?"
"The Internal Affairs Pavilion sent a few cloud brocades, the flower room sent a few pots of flowers, and ......"
"These things, while no one sees them, throw them all away. Rong Zhaoyi rubbed the corners of her forehead irritably, "There's nothing wrong with being careful." ”
"Yes. ”

After going out of Rong Zhaoyi Palace, Shen Chuchu simply went to Zhao Xiyue for lunch.
"You say, will Rong Zhaoyi understand what we mean?"
Shen Chuchu buried her head to peel shrimp, and opened her mouth without raising her head, "We are considered to have done our best, as for whether she can understand it, it depends on herself." ”
Zhao Xiyue sighed, "That's what I said." ”
"By the way, do you remember King Zhao?"
Shen Chuchu was stunned for a moment, "King Zhao, the fifth prince?"
"Yes, he's going back to Beijing, and it's just a matter of the past two days. ”
Shen Chuchu's eyes widened in disbelief, "How is it possible, Your Majesty is so disgusted with him, how could he let him return to Beijing." ”
King Zhao is the son of Concubine De, and he was originally very favored. But later, Concubine De's adultery with the guards was discovered, His Majesty was furious, and Concubine De was killed, and even King Zhao was disgusted by His Majesty, and he was driven to the fiefdom as soon as he became an adult, and he never returned to the capital for many years.
"I heard that it was the fifth brother who had good political achievements for many years, and his father was very old, so he allowed the fifth brother to return to Beijing because of his family affection. ”
"Your Majesty's adult prince is only King Jing, King Ling, King Zhao. Now His Royal Highness King Ling is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, but King Zhao suddenly wants to return to Beijing...... It is estimated that His Royal Highness King Jing is going to die in a hurry again. ”
Zhao Xiyue said lazily, "It has nothing to do with us." ”
"It has nothing to do with you, it has something to do with me. Shen Chuchu sighed, "I was forcibly tied to the team of the queen and King Jing, I'm afraid there will be no less disputes in the future." ”
Zhao Xiyue patted her shoulder sympathetically.
After lunch, it was okay left and right, Shen Chuchu simply left the palace and returned to the house, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he was dragged in by Cui'er who was waiting at the door.
"County Lord, you can come back, the general has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Shen Chuchu's heart chuckled.
Intuition told her that Fu Heng would definitely be fine if she waited for her.
was dragged all the way to the door of the study by Cui'er, she swallowed her saliva and knocked on the door nervously, "General, are you looking for me?"
"Come in. ”
Shen Chuchu took a deep breath and pushed the door in.
The lights in the room were faint, and the fire on the candlestick was extinguished, dangling on Fu Heng's side face, which looked obscure.
"General, is there something wrong?"
Fu Heng flipped through the paperwork in his hand, and opened his mouth without raising his head, "Go back and pack your things and get up tomorrow morning." ”
Shen Chuchu was stunned for a moment, "Go...... Where are you going?"
Fu Heng raised his head slightly and glanced at her lightly, "There are bandits in Nanshan, and Your Majesty sent me to suppress the bandits." ”
"So what?"
"So, you go along. ”
"I ...... No, you go to suppress the bandits, what am I going to do with it, I can't do this without martial arts, isn't that a burden to you?" Shen Chuchu smiled awkwardly.
Fu Heng squinted, glanced Shen Chuchu up and down, and nodded approvingly, "It's indeed a burden." ”
After a pause, the conversation changed.
"It's just that I said before, if I want to check you well, then I naturally have to put you under my nose to check it. Fu Heng hooked the corners of his lips, "You said yes, right?" ”
Shen Chuchu tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled reluctantly.
