Because Yu Zhongjun came back too late, Xu Xiao'e didn't wait for him, just had dinner first, and then went back to the room to read the account book. Later, Yu Zhongjun came back from the palace, Yu Ruoxu asked Xiu'er to invite her out, but it turned out that she was tired of reading the account book and was taking a nap, and the people next to her didn't dare to wake her up.

It's obviously the first day of marriage, but these two people don't seem to take each other too seriously.

"But the princess ......"

"It turned out that the princess was here." Yu Ruoxu opened the door and saw Xu Xiao'e standing in the courtyard with her maid Yunbi, holding a box of snacks in her hand, facing Pei Changchang. Pei Changyuan was scolded by her and his face turned red, but he had to clench his fists to suppress the rolling anger.

"You father and daughter don't know what they're talking about. Why, can't even I go in and bother? When Xu Xiao'e saw Yu Ruoxu coming out of the room, she directly transferred her anger to her.

Yu Ruoxu was stunned, what's wrong with Xu Xiao'e?

The princess laughed. Yu Ruoxu blessed her body slightly, and said lightly, "I don't know what the princess is about?" ”

"This princess came to send supper to her father-in-law, do you still need to inform you, a junior?" Xu Xiao'e seemed to be deliberately making trouble, and asked with a face.

Yu Ruoxu was also a little angry in her heart, what was she crazy about?

"It's even deeper, the princess should hurry into the house, be careful of the wind and cold." Yu Ruoxu didn't bother to bother with her, and turned around and went into the back room directly. Xu Xiao'e had an expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and followed her into the study with a snack box.

"Master, the concubine brought you pastries, you can taste them." When she saw Yu Zhongjun, Xu Xiao'e immediately changed her face. Yu Ruoxu almost gasped when she heard her delicate voice.

"The princess is bothered." Yu Zhongjun smiled politely, "I don't know why the princess came?" ”

"The concubine fell asleep just now, and I didn't have time to come out to greet the master." Xu Xiao'e's eyes flashed with an unknown light, but her voice was still delicate, "The concubine is not happy to go, I just want to come to see the master." ”

After that, he looked back at Yu Ruoxu, "Don't be angry if you are happy, I was just stopped by that dog slave at the door, and I was accidentally angry with you in a hurry, don't take it to heart......"

Yu Ruoxu's face did not change, "Pei Changchang is also loyal, just don't be angry with him, princess." ”

"What is faithful, in my opinion, he is a rough man." Xu Xiao'e snorted coldly, and then reached out to grab Yu Zhongjun's arm, as if she was coquettish, "The master doesn't know, the concubine has never been so fierce, just now I was really scared to ......" As she spoke, she seemed to be about to cry, and even her eyes were red.

Yu Zhongjun glanced at her, sighed, and called out the door, "Long-term!" “

Pei Changyuan walked into the study in silence, bowed to Yu Zhongjun and said, "Do you have any instructions?" “

"The princess is the body of a daughter, and now she is the mother of the Yu Mansion, and her identity is different." Yu Zhongjun said slowly, "Whatever the princess says in the future, you just do it, if you say anything disrespectfully and contradict the princess, you will be dealt with in accordance with the family law!" “

Pei Changyuan looked at Yu Zhongjun in disbelief as if he was stunned, "Your Excellency, ......"

"What? Am I not clear enough? Yu Zhongjun's eyes were blazing, and he said word by word.

"Small...... Yes, sir! Pei Changchang gritted his teeth, bowed his head and responded, and then gave Xu Xiao'e a big salute, "The little one was born in the army, he is a rough man, he has offended a lot just now, and I hope the princess will forgive me." “

Xu Xiao'e pointed at him as if she hadn't relieved her anger yet, and said sharply, "This princess is not embarrassed by the face of the master, but it's best not to have a next time!" “

"The little ones don't dare." Pei Changyuan said in a low voice.

"Why don't you get out of here? Don't dangle in front of this princess in the future! Xu Xiao'e pointed out the door and directly ordered the eviction. Yu Zhongjun saw her domineering appearance, and gradually became angry, "The princess has nothing else to do, so hurry back to the room to rest." “

"Why did the master have to drive the concubine away so soon?" Xu Xiao'e looked at Yu Ruoxu, and then at Yu Zhongjun, with a suspicious expression, "Could it be that there are some things in the mansion that Ruoxu can know, but can't be discussed with the concubine?" “

"The princess misunderstood." Yu Zhongjun only felt that his head was as big as a fight, "Ruoxu is just helping me sort out some paperwork, and it has nothing to do with the affairs of the house." “

"I have long heard that my lord is very fond of his daughter, and he does not shy away from even dealing with official affairs." Xu Xiao'e thought about it and said with a smile, "That concubine can also help the master solve problems and help the master in the future." “

"If only one person is enough." Yu Zhongjun interrupted her directly, "The princess still has to worry about the big and small matters in the house, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to worry about these small things in the future." “

"But the concubine is ......"

"Alright." Yu Zhongjun's patience had almost been worn out by her, "It's getting late, the princess should hurry back to her room to rest." “

Xu Xiao'e bit her lip, revealing an unwilling look, but she was helpless against Yu Zhongjun's decision, so she reluctantly left the study.

Yu Ruoxu has been looking at Xu Xiao'e thoughtfully since she just started, her trick is accurate, such a trouble, from now on, she can be regarded as free to enter and exit the study.

"Isn't Daddy afraid that she will come and rummage through your things?" Yu Ruoxu quipped.

"You don't know when I don't?" Yu Zhongjun glanced at her, "Before the princess entered the mansion, didn't you guess the scene like today?" ”

"Daddy is wise." Yu Ruoxu stuck out her tongue, "The important documents are hidden elsewhere, she can't find them." “

"It's strange to say." Yu Zhongjun frowned, "If she came here to inquire about the news, she shouldn't be a father." After all, my father has no military power in his hands, and he doesn't care much about the affairs of South Vietnam......"

Yu Ruoxu also fell into deep thought, if it wasn't for the purpose of spying on the news, then what was she for?

Autumn is getting stronger, and the capital has been in good autumn for several days. On a whim, Yu Ruoxu asked Xiu'er to move her painting tools to the gazebo, thinking about practicing her long-abandoned left hand painting. Xiu'er was afraid that Yu Ruoxu would be cold if she stayed in the gazebo for a long time, so she went to the kitchen and brought her a pot of hot tea.

"The weather is so good, why is it cold again?" Yu Ruoxu couldn't help but smile when she saw her coming over with a pot of tea.

"When Miss feels cold, she's about to start having a sore throat." Xiu'er poured hot tea for her, and said mysteriously, "Guess miss, who did the slave just meet on the way back?" “

"Princess?"

"It's not." Xiu'er lowered her voice, "It's Yunbi and Ayuan." “

"Isn't it normal to meet them in the mansion?" Yu Ruoxu looked at her excitedly, as if she had heard some terrible news, and couldn't help but ask.

"The slave just thinks it's a little weird." Xiu'er said in a low voice, "That Ayuan seems to be particularly afraid of Yunbi, just now the slave maid saw Ayuan accidentally walked in front of Yunbi, Yunbi said something, Ayuan looked panicked, and quickly retreated to the back of Yunbi." ”

Yu Ruoxu was stunned, "It may be that the maids on the South Vietnamese side are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and Yun Bi is the highest-level, so she naturally has to walk in front of Ayuan." “

"Maybe." Xiu'er scratched her head and said with a smile, "The princess is so domineering, she almost walks sideways in our house, and her eldest maid is probably not much better......"

Yu Ruoxu smiled, turned around and began to paint.

The charcoal had just drawn an outline on the drawing paper, only to hear Xiu'er suddenly say, "Why is Sister Ayuan here?" Is there something wrong with the princess looking for a young lady? ”

Yu Ruoxu raised her eyes, only to see Ayuan standing outside the pavilion, bowing respectfully to herself, "The slave maid is at the will of the princess, please go to the hall to discuss matters." ”

"Deliberations?" Yu Ruoxu put down the charcoal in his hand, "What are you discussing?" ”

"Miss will find out when she goes." Ayuan put on an expression that had nothing to say, and when Xiu'er saw her like that, she suddenly became angry and shouted, "Could it be something unsightly?" Do you have to hide it from our young lady? ”

Ayuan was silent, just looking at Yu Ruoxu quietly, with a somewhat elegant look in her eyes.

"Since it's inconvenient for you to say, I won't force you." Yu Ruoxu sighed, got up and straightened the hem of her clothes, and said to Ayuan, "Let's go." ”

As soon as the three of them entered the house, Yu Ruoxu saw several boxes piled up at the door, and Xu Xiao'e sat on the main seat, smiling and talking to the mother-in-law sitting on the side. Yu Ruoxu glanced at the mother-in-law, wearing a festive peach-colored jacket, and wearing a forehead embroidered with auspicious ruyi cloud patterns on her head, which didn't look like the housekeeper mother of an ordinary big family.

"Yo, if you're here, sit down." When Xu Xiao'e saw her come in, she hurriedly grabbed her arm affectionately and pulled her to sit next to her.

Yu Ruoxu pulled out her hand without a trace, and secretly felt bad in her heart, she was so affectionate for some reason, she didn't know what else was waiting for her.

When the woman saw Yu Ruoxu, she first looked her up and down, and then blessed her, and said with a smile, "The old slave has seen Miss Yu." ”

Yu Ruoxu nodded, "Hurry up, may I ask ...... you are?"

"This is the famous He Bingren in our capital." Xu Xiao'e said with a smile, "If you are seventeen years old, it's time to talk about marriage." After all, I'm not from the Central Plains, I don't know much about what you are talking about, I'm still anxious, this is not right, He Bingren was entrusted by Mrs. Liu to ask what you mean......"

Yu Ruoxu understood everything in an instant.

Dare to love this is to tell her about her family?

She glanced at He Bingren, no wonder the whole body was auspicious color from top to bottom, it turned out to be the official media.

"Mrs. Liu?" Yu Ruoxu said lightly. "But the wife of the Ministry of Works, Lord Liu Changqing?"

"Miss is really smart, one guess is accurate!" He Bingren said with a smile, "The second son of Lord Liu's family has just turned twenty this year, and he has not yet married the main house, the last time Mrs. Liu was at the princess's wedding banquet, I saw that the young lady was not only born with a beautiful appearance, but also took care of the house's chores in an orderly manner, and later heard that the young lady was also full of poetry and books and was talented, and she liked it in her heart, so she simply sent the old slave to ask the princess and the young lady what they meant." “

Liu Changqing's second son?

For the Liu family, she only remembered Liu Xiyue, who had a beautiful mole in the corner of her eye, but she had no impression of this son, and only occasionally listened to Xiu'er chew the root of her tongue, as if she had mentioned the second son of the Liu family. It is rumored that this son is congenitally deficient and has not been in good health, and it is already a gift from God to live to the crown ceremony.

Seeing Yu Ruoxu frowning, He Bingren hurriedly said, "Miss Yu, don't believe the rumors outside, this Liu Ergongzi was indeed not in good health when he was a child, but whose child hasn't had a headache and brain fever?" Later, Lord Liu and Mrs. Liu were raised with all kinds of expensive medicines and supplements, and now they are completely well. “

"I heard that this second son Liu is also an elegant person, and he has always loved to chant poetry and paint in the house." Xu Xiao'e also opened her mouth to help, "If you get married, maybe it's still a good story!" “

Yu Ruoxu sneered, "What, the princess wants me to marry?" “

"Princess Ben thinks it's a good marriage." Xu Xiao'e didn't seem to notice the coldness in her tone, and said casually, "Mrs. Liu is also very sincere, and asked He Bingren to bring several boxes of excellent brocade, saying that it is a meeting gift for our Yu family......"

Yu Ruoxu was a little surprised, this Xu Xiao'e is a dignified princess of Nanyue, she has worn gold and silver since she was a child, she has never seen any good things, is it possible to see a few good brocades and be tempted?

At this time, I saw Yun Bi, who was standing behind Xu Xiao'e, quietly stretched out her hand and pulled her, Xu Xiao'e coughed slightly as if she had just woken up from a dream, "Didn't you Central Plains talk about your parents' orders and matchmakers' words?" Such a good family business, even a husband will not ......"

"I still have to ask my father what he means about this." Yu Ruoxu directly interrupted her and said to He Bingren, "Please tell Mrs. Liu that this gift is too valuable, and our Yu family can't afford it, so please take it back." “

"Eh, this is ......" He Bingren was shocked, isn't this equivalent to directly slapping Mrs. Liu in the face?

"Ruoxu, what do you mean by that?!" Xu Xiao'e stood up from the chair with a sigh and said sharply.

"Although family affairs still need to be discussed, I still have to thank Mrs. Liu for her love." Yu Ruoxu's face tightened, as if she hadn't heard her question, and then instructed Xiu'er behind her, "You take Ah Si to the treasury and find out the jasper pixiu for me as a thank you gift to Mrs. Liu." “

Xiu'er was stunned, "Miss, that's our baby!" “

"Go, don't talk so much." Yu Ruoxu said in a deep voice.

"This is really ......" Xu Xiao'e saw that she completely ignored her own existence in front of outsiders, and she was immediately angry, "Are you making it clear that you don't take this princess in your eyes!" “
