CHAPTER XVIII

When the prince entered the house, he saw that three little girls were talking together.

After Ruyi came in just now, Runrun only circled around her, and Ruyi also said this to her with a smile. Rulan sat on the side, no one paid attention to her, how embarrassing it was. Anyway, she's a guest, too.

Ruyi can ignore Rulan, but she can't ignore her cousin.

After the prince came in, she introduced: "This is my cousin, I saw it in the palace last time." ”

Runrun nodded and greeted the prince seriously: "Hello cousin, I'm Runrun." I'm a good friend of Ruyi. You may be seated. As he spoke, he asked the maid to show him tea.

That attitude is that I don't think of the identity of the prince at all, and I just think she is a relative of Ruyi's family.

The prince used to blame the little fat man for not seeing him, but now that she regards herself as a good brother in the family, the intimacy is just right, but he thinks she is a little cute.

Rulan on the side is not stupid, she saw it in the palace last time, and now she is Ruyi's cousin. The sister of the Duchess of Chengguo is only the queen in the palace, and the identity of the young man in front of her is simply about to come out.

She couldn't sit still, and stood up to salute him.

The prince stopped him, and just smiled: "This is Sister Rulan of the Xiangping Hou family, right?" There is no need for so many courtesies, we have the right to speak as our own brothers and sisters. ”

How could Rulan really regard the prince as her own brother, but since he said so, she couldn't disobey her, and she also called him 'cousin' softly with Runrun.

Ruyi looked funny at her as if she had been caught by a cat, but in fact, she also had such a meaning when she brought the prince. Wasn't this girl very fierce before, but now she also teaches her to know that she was so presumptuous in front of someone before. Not to mention whether her prince's cousin will really be as knowledgeable as her, she is probably scared enough in her own heart.

Runrun on the side didn't see any changes in Rulan, but wondered why Rulan suddenly spoke so quietly. And he hung his head, and he couldn't even see his face clearly. However, she doesn't care much about Rulan, anyway, if Ruyi is there, she wants to play with Ruyi.

The maid quickly served refreshments and fruit.

As a little host, Runrun also knows that he has to greet guests. After the things came up, she asked the maid to put all those things in front of Ruyi, and then beckoned everyone and said, "You're welcome, let's eat some snacks and fruits." ”

Right now, everyone is sitting at a boxy table, one person is sitting on one side, and it is just full. She piled everything in front of Ruyi, everyone was a child, and her arms were not long, if she reached for it, she would have to straighten up and stretch her arms with great difficulty.

Rulan simply didn't move, and the prince glanced at Runrun speechlessly.

But Runrun didn't know that when the prince came for the first time, she stretched out her arm and took a small orange and handed it to him, and said very earnestly: "Cousin, you eat, you're welcome." ”

The prince looked at his little orange helplessly, and then looked at the plates full of things in front of Ruyi, he really didn't know what to say.

Ruyile covered his mouth and snickered. His cousin, he has always put him first, and it is the first time that he has been treated like this.

The prince laughed after being helpless, this little fat girl...... Really......

The more Ruyi laughed, the more exaggerated it became, and gradually she couldn't help laughing.

The prince glared at her with a grin, and she glared back with a grin.

Runrun also noticed Ruyi's outfit at this time, and asked, "Ruyi, what kind of clothes are you wearing?" How is it different from usual? ”

Ruyi withdrew his gaze from his cousin's face and explained, "This is men's clothing, my father was about to take me and my cousin to the street." I just got your message to say...... Well, he said that he invited us to play, so he stopped by. ”

"Oh, am I causing you trouble?" Runrun was embarrassed, after all, it was just his own business, but he let the family run over. Compared to coming over to deal with Rulan, of course it's better to go out and play.

Ruyi touched the bud on her head and said, "Don't bother, why is it trouble to come to you." ”

Runrun smiled with her, and she really liked Ruyi in her heart.

They said this here, and the Jing'an average also got the news.

The last time the Duchess of Chengguo came, she actually knew it. But since people don't know her, she doesn't need to catch up. This time, I heard that there was a young boy who was about the same age as the Ye family brothers, so she couldn't sit still.

The county lord of Jing'an changed into relatively formal clothes, and then dressed Zhen Zhen, and then took his daughter to the old lady to say goodbye.

Seeing the Duchess of Chengguo, she pretended to be surprised and said: "The Duchess of Chengguo is also here, and I don't know how to pass the house, but it seems that I have neglected Madame." Zhen Zhen, come to say hello to your aunt. ”

Zhen Zhen stepped forward, saluted the Duchess of Chengguo, and politely called "Auntie". There is not a single fault in the degree of movement.

Duchess Chengguo disdained to fight with her, only smiled faintly so that Zhen Zhen didn't have to be polite, and then turned to the county lord of Jing'an: "Here is the old lady, good tea is entertained, how can you snub me." It's just that I'm thinking, there are a lot of nobles and nobles in the county, so it's not good to bother. ”

Lord Jing'an also laughed, "In your own home, there is nothing to do." It's just that it's not as leisurely as Madame, and she hasn't informed me when she visits me a few times. ”

Duchess Chengguo took the teacup, gently flicked the tea leaves with the tea lid, and said unintentionally: "Things may not be busy, and the heart will not know." ”

The face of the county lord of Jing'an sank, and she naturally heard what the Duchess of Chengguo meant. But when I thought about what I was doing on this trip, I suppressed my unhappiness again.

The two of them come and go, and the old lady is next to you as if watching a play. Duchess Chengguo's temper can be said to be really her appetite, and the family lacks such an identity and temperament that can suppress the lord of Jing'an. In the future, the two families can move around more.

And Su Shi, the eldest daughter-in-law of Ye Mansion, was eager to shrink into the wall at this time. She is the most identious person here, lest their words and swords will harm her.

Later, the Duchess of Chengguo deliberately ignored the county lord of Jing'an, and only continued with the old lady and the Su family, but the Su family did not dare to speak again.

In the past, Duchess Chengguo still felt that although the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ye family was born in a small family, she also knew etiquette and general knowledge, but now she deliberately avoided it, but she didn't look at her appearance on the stage.

When they were chatting, the county lord of Jing'an asked knowingly: "I heard that the ruyi of the lady's family is also here, why haven't you seen anyone for so long?" ”

Of course, Duchess Chengguo knew what she meant, and she didn't answer, but just looked at her with a smile.

Just quiet for a moment, the county lord of Jing'an looked embarrassed, and at the same time he was angry in his heart, he had long heard that the Duchess of Chengguo was not that kind of good relationship, and now this contact, not only is it not a good relationship, it is simply not a word of speculation!

Although Zhen Zhen is young, under the careful teaching of the county lord of Jing'an for many years, her mind is much more mature than that of ordinary children, so she helped her mother play a round and said, "Sister Ruyi went to Runrun, right?" ”

Duchess Chengguo couldn't hate such a well-behaved little person, nodded to her and said softly: "Not long after you went, you go and play with them." ”

Zhen Zhen was blessed again, and saluted to everyone, "Then Zhen Zhen will go over and talk with her sister and sister for a while, and she will be out of company first." ”

The old lady asked the maid to prepare some small snacks and let Zhen Zhen bring them over. Jing'an County's main idea is actually clear to her, although she doesn't like this daughter-in-law, but Zhen Zhen is her own granddaughter in the end, and if she can have a good future, it is also excellent.

When Zhen Zhen arrived, Ruyi was talking to Runrun about what was interesting on the street.

These things may not be very unusual in the eyes of ordinary children, but to the ears of a little girl like Runrun, who is not out of the door, it is really very novel.

Rulan originally sat silently, but the more she listened, the more serious she became, and she was about to fall into fascination. Although her father occasionally took her with him for hunting, in the capital, her father and mother rarely took her to the streets.

Ruyi can speak well, so that the eyes of the two little girls will shine, and the prince's mouth is not stupid. After Ruyi finished talking about the new and interesting things in the market, he said: "It's fun but dangerous outside, if you want to go to the street, you must be accompanied by an adult." ”

Although he lives in the East Palace, he is also idle, and he doesn't know how many times he has been punished for sneaking out of the palace. Let's just say that some time ago, he was wandering around the market two streets away from the palace gate, and he happened to meet a kidnapper, probably treating him as an ordinary rich young master, and wanted to kidnap him for money.

Of course, the prince was not stupid, and when he found that someone was following, he turned into the downtown area, and deliberately overturned a fruit stall, and the hawker quarreled with him, and people gradually surrounded him, and the person who followed him had no way to start.

This wishful thinking only talks about the good outside, in case the little girl listens to her words, secretly runs out on the street, and something happens, it will not be good.

Runrun was fascinated by what he heard just now, but at this time, his eyes widened like a frightened deer, and he asked him softly, "Then cousin, are you okay later?" Did the peddler who was messing with you do anything to you? As he spoke, he walked up to the prince and looked at him carefully. Although she had never been outside, her aunt had told her about some things outside, such as that eating outside costs money, and that it costs money to break other people's things, and if she can't get it, that person will not give up. I don't know if Ruyi's cousin brought enough money at that time, and whether he was embarrassed.

The prince looked at her with a bitter little face, and was looking at himself cautiously, and his concerned and nervous appearance was sincere. Obviously she had just talked about it as a funny thing, but she really started to worry. He couldn't help but feel a little soft in his heart, and he also wanted to laugh.

"Silly girl." He nodded her forehead, "I've lost money, I'll be fine." Blind worry. ”

Of course, Runrun's worries were actually superfluous, at that time he was still accompanied by many secret guards, if that kidnapper really wanted to step forward and do something, it might not be the prince who had something. However, it is still too worrying to encounter this kind of thing outside, and the emperor heard about it, and ruthlessly rectified the discipline of the capital, and equipped the East Palace with twice as many secret guards.

The boy's hand strength was not mastered well, and the prince only felt that his fingers were sinking into a pile of cotton, and before he could pay attention, he poked the little fat man's forehead firmly.

Runrun was poked a little painfully, and he didn't say anything, rubbed his forehead and smiled at him, "Then my cousin should pay attention next time, you can only go to the street when you are accompanied by an adult." ”

The prince retracted his hand, the soft touch of his fingertips had not yet dissipated, and then he looked at the forehead of the little fat girl in front of him, and a red fingerprint was poked out.

"Do you hurt?"

Runrun rubbed himself twice more, looking up with a smiling face, learning his previous tone: "It doesn't hurt, you are also worried." ”

The prince really can't wait to rub her fleshy, white and chubby little face again, alas, although this little chubby girl is a little stupid, she is what her sister should be. If I can have such a sister, I really can't wait to spoil the sky.
