CHAPTER XXXI

There is an hour's break for lunch at noon. There is no place to take a lunch break in the prison, and if you are really tired after eating, the most you can do is to lie on the table and rest for a while.

Empress Yuan was also thoughtful, and specially found a few rooms in the backyard for the little girls to take a lunch break. It is impossible for one person to have one room, and it is okay for a few people to let them sit in one place and talk and nourish their spirits.

Some little girls are not used to the outside environment, so they also choose to go home in the carriage at noon, and there is nothing left over after lunch time.

Runrun and Ruyi naturally don't go back. Runrun has two elder brothers who are still in the country's prison, and with them to take care of him, he naturally doesn't have to worry about anything. Ruyi was finally able to get out of the house, and she got rid of the control of adults, and it was too late for her to have fun, how could she go home again.

At the time of the meal, Runrun and his brothers made an appointment to meet not far from the side gate of Guozijian, and of course invited Ruyi. Originally, Runrun wanted to ask Zhen Zhen if she wanted to be together, but when she turned around, Zhen Zhen had disappeared, thinking that she had already left with the others.

As the saying goes, men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven. Ruyi didn't shy away from anything, on the one hand, this dynasty doesn't pay attention to red tape, and on the other hand, naturally because of her generous personality.

Speaking of which, this is also the first time Ruyi has met the Ye brothers.

As soon as they met, she was naturally surprised by the almost identical eyebrows and eyes of the two.

She also has two elder brothers, and the age difference is not big, but her brother's eyebrows and eyes are only three or four points of imagination at most, and they will not be like the two of them, almost carved out of a mold, except for the difference in expression, it is almost impossible to tell which one is which.

Runrun pulled the Ye family brothers to introduce her and said, "This is my eldest brother, and the other is my second brother." ”

Ruyi looked them up and down, "These are your two elder brothers, they really look alike." ”

Ye Heng arched his hand at her, reported his name, and then stood to the side, deliberately keeping some distance.

Ye Yu is also unruly, Ruyi looked at their brothers so much, he also did the same, and looked at Ruyi, "This is the Ruyi of the Chengguo Mansion that you often mention?" There are no three heads and six arms. ”

Ruyi couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "Why should I have 'three heads and six arms'?" ”

Ye Yu shrugged, "Everyone outside says that you are amazing, and I am fascinated by my family, and I think about you every day, I really think that you are different from ordinary people." ”

Ruyi couldn't help laughing, not like a girl. If the Duchess of Chengguo is here, she will definitely be like a girl again. Fortunately, Ruyi's appearance takes the strengths of her parents, and she is more advanced than the already outstanding Chengguo couple, with exquisite eyebrows and eyes, a towering nose bridge, and a rare heroic spirit between her eyebrows.

"Runrun, your brother is really interesting."

Runrun also laughed, she was naturally happy to get along well with her brother-

The Ye brothers' usual lunch is very simple, sometimes they eat a bowl of noodles at a street stall. But now that Runrun is here, with wishful thinking, of course they can't be so casual anymore.

And a few days ago, their father specially gave them some extra silver, so that they could remember to take their sister to eat something good.

So Ye Yu mentioned yì and went to the nearby 'Xinglin Pavilion'.

At first glance, this 'Xinglin Pavilion' sounds like the name of a pharmacy and medical hall, but it is actually a very famous restaurant in the capital, and the most famous is the expensive medicinal food in the store, which is why it is called such a name.

Its location is just a few streets away from Guozijian, and it is less than a quarter of an hour's walk away.

However, under the fame, the consumption of the Xinglin Pavilion is also very famous. An ordinary meal can't go down without a few taels of silver.

Ye Yu was thinking of knocking on his eldest brother's bamboo pole. Although his brother usually gets the same things, his eldest brother has a very tight hand, only in and out, and hides a lot of private money. Ye Yu himself is a person who spends as much as he wants, and he usually likes to call friends and companions, and he doesn't have enough money in his pockets, so this time he wants to make his eldest brother bleed in the name of Runrun.

Ye Heng is naturally generous to his sister, and he also knows what bad ideas Ye Yu has in his stomach, but looking at Runrun's expectant look, he agreed without thinking about it.

Several people walked all the way, running and Ruyi hand in hand along the way, and the two looked around curiously. Ye Heng and Ye Yu two brothers, one left and one right, together with a few scholars and maids, surrounded the two little girls in the middle.

When I arrived at the Xinglin Pavilion, it was naturally full of guests, and it was very lively.

Xiao Er saw a few of them, and greeted them with a smile very warmly, "A few little guest officers, please." ”

Runrun couldn't help but think of the words of the second prince who reprimanded Xiao Er last time, and talked to Ruyi, Ruyi said: "This does seem like my cousin can say, but you don't have to be a 'brother', he is not much older than you, you follow me to call cousin." ”

Runrun nodded, and changed his title when he mentioned the second prince again.

The second prince in the palace didn't know that he was unknowingly cheated by his cousin again.

Several people were settled down in the lobby by Xiao Er, and Ye Yu rushed to order food, but was stopped by his eldest brother's eye knife. He sneered twice and handed over the right to order food to Runrun and Ruyi.

This is the only time Runrun eats outside, and she didn't order food last time she went to the restaurant, so she didn't know what to eat, but she said to Xiao Er with a big grin: "Whatever is famous in the store, just put it under the table." ”

"Okay!" Xiao Er dusted off the towel and just wanted to turn his head to place an order, but was stopped by Ye Heng.

Ye Heng was not stingy, but said: "You don't need to use the famous medicinal diet, and the others are picked up quickly." "After all, they are not very old, so it's better to eat less medicinal food or something, and don't make up for any problems. The noon time is also limited, and there are many customers in the restaurant, so you can't wait here.

Xiao Er took note of his words and happily went to place an order.

The last time I followed the prince and the second prince was in a private room, Runrun hadn't seen the restaurant really lively, and she couldn't help but look at it at this time, because each table was not far apart, and she could hear the conversation at the dinner table of others, which made her very novel.

Although Ruyi is an extrovert, she doesn't have many opportunities to get in close contact with the crowd, but she also thinks that this kind of eating atmosphere is very fresh.

Even though they had ordered a quicker meal, it was already a quarter of an hour before the food was served. Fortunately, after the food was served, the dishes at the back came one after another, and the table was soon full. Even a girl like Ruyi, who is used to eating fine things, has to say that the food here is indeed exquisite.

Runrun couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, but she didn't remember to eat, and she didn't start until the two brothers and Ruyi moved the chopsticks.

Eating is silent, sleeping is silent, and the Ye family brothers are very gentle when they eat. Even if there is usually some big swagger, the etiquette is impeccable. In contrast, Runrun is the fastest to eat, and soon the cheeks are bulging. It had been a long morning lesson, but she was starving.

Ye Heng also takes care of his sister, and the dishes that are far away will reach out to Runrun. He grabbed a chopstick, and Runrun smiled at her with his cheeks. When Ye Yu saw it, he naturally followed suit, and soon a hill was piled up in the small plate in front of Runrun.

Of course, although Runrun has short hands and needs to be taken care of by her two brothers, she herself thinks about Ruyi, and from time to time she stands up and sandwiches Ruyi with something she thinks is delicious. However, because her chopsticks are not particularly good, there are a few times when she picks up things like tofu or meatballs, it seems a little laborious.

Ruyi didn't think she was clumsy, but she just felt that Runrun treated her sincerely. Although she has a tricky mouth, she also cooperates with moisturizing, and she eats very deliciously.

When the few people were about to finish eating, Ruyi casually glanced at the door, but suddenly saw a familiar figure.

It was a girl who had not grown up in size, wearing a golden butterfly pattern straight-necked pipa cardigan, a mopping the floor of a madder openwork phoenix dress, and a light veil on her face.

But Ruyi still recognized her at a glance, and in the same way, the man also saw her, and he didn't expect to see her here, so he was a little stunned, he was going out in the direction of the door, and after a pause, he whispered a few words to a shorter girl beside him, and came towards them.

Ruyi also stood up and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"Accompany Lu'er out for a walk, I didn't expect my cousin to be here." The girl had a pair of eyes that were born with a smile, and when she laughed, it seemed that all the stars fell in her eyes, which was very beautiful. The one who can call Ruyi 'cousin' is no one else, naturally the princess in the palace. This is no one else, it is the princess Nanxuan who often walks in Kunning Palace.

It stands to reason that she and Ruyi have no relatives, but Ruyi is the niece of Queen Yuan, and the prince and the second prince are both 'cousins' and 'cousins', and she doesn't treat herself as an outsider, and she also calls her 'cousin' with the second prince.

Ruyi was naturally happy for her to shout like this, not because she wanted to be close to her, but just to take advantage of her. Nan Xuan called her 'cousin', so she didn't have to respect her as a princess and salute her!

Ruyi nodded and said, "We're almost done eating, so we'll leave right away." ”

Nan Xuan swept her eyes over the others at the table, meaning to wait for Ruyi to introduce her. Although she didn't have to salute her as she wished, she could afford the salutes of the others in the seat.

Ruyi didn't seem to understand, and turned his head to watch Runrun eat intently.

Runrun was a little embarrassed to be looked at, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "Sister, are you hungry?" Would you like to eat some with us? "She kept watching Nan Xuan, and she was also greedy.

Ruyi was amused by Runrun's straightforward words, and wanted to hold back but didn't, and burst out laughing.
