Chapter 41: Slap in the face and go back
Jingwang Mansion
For the first three days, Rong Ruo was waiting in the prince's palace, afraid that something would go wrong halfway.
However, now that the prince's situation has gradually stabilized, he can let other imperial doctors take over.
Rong Ruo walked in the Jingwang Mansion, looking at the palace with curiosity, when he first came, he glanced at it in a hurry and didn't see it clearly.
Looking at it again this time, the palace is very exquisitely cared for, not so pompous and gorgeous, but it is obviously noble and elegant everywhere, very similar to the man's style.
In fact, Rong Ruo lived in King Jing's Mansion as his fiancée, which was also very embarrassing, and the subordinates were polite to her on the surface, but they didn't take her seriously at all in their hearts, which could be seen from the eyes of those people.
After all, after she came to the palace, Mu Beichen never appeared, let alone accompanied her.
Therefore, the subordinates keenly felt that it was estimated that Rong Ruo had done something to force Mu Beichen to marry her, but judging from Mu Beichen's coldness, he was clearly reluctant to marry her.
As a result, the entire Jing Wang's Mansion called Miss Rong on the surface, and behind their backs they were discussing when King Jing would kick her out. It can be said that they are all waiting for this good show to be staged.
Rong Ruo chose a quiet small courtyard away from other people, and she packed up and moved in.
On the first night in King Jing's Mansion, Rong Ruo sat on the threshold, her chin in her hands, and sighed - she didn't have any more requirements now, and it would be good if she really lived like this.
Early the next morning, Banxia walked in with a breakfast and indignantly.
Rong Ruo just got up, yawned and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Banxia pouted: "Miss, they bully people." ”
Rong Ruo casually wrapped up her long hair, then inserted a hairpin to fix it, and looked at Banxia funny: "Who bullied you?" ”
"Not me." Banxia put the tray on the table and said angrily: "It's bullying Miss you." ”
Rong Ruo picked up a bowl of white porridge, used chopsticks to pull a little shredded pickles and bamboo shoots from a plate, then stirred it and began to eat, holding the porridge and casually saying, "What's wrong with me?" ”
Banxia's round face was pink and tender because of anger, and she bit her lip: "Miss, they all eat better breakfast than Miss, I can't help but argue twice, saying that you are the fiancée of King Jing, how can you eat this, guess what they say?" ”
Rong Ruo snorted and drank half a bowl of porridge and raised her eyebrows: "Huh? ”
"They said she wasn't a fiancée, but she was not married, so she moved in, and her face was really big." Banxia recalled those words, but she was still angry.
Rong Ruo felt that there was really nothing to be angry about, and patted Banxia on the shoulder: "Okay, I like to eat white porridge." ”
Banxia stomped her feet: "Miss! ”
Rong Ruo couldn't make it clear to Banxia that she and Mu Beichen just became an unmarried couple because of a gambling contract, and the other party stuttered well, what else could they ask for.
"Miss, when you become Princess Jing in the future, you must go back with a slap in the face."
Rong Ruo nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, I know." ”
"Miss, I'll be honest with you."
Rong Ruo blinked: "I heard it." ”
Banxia sighed sadly, how could she think that Miss was not in a hurry at all.
Rong Ruo finished eating the white porridge, wiped the corners of his mouth, stood up and walked out.
Banxia chased after him and said happily, "Miss, are you going to settle accounts with them now?" ”
Rong Ruo twitched the corners of her mouth, who could she find to settle accounts now, but she still smiled dryly: "Hehehe, yes, I'll ask what's going on." ”
Banxia saw that he couldn't help it, so he was very relieved: "Okay, miss, you must show the spirit of the main room!" ”
If you look at the sky, what is the spirit of the main room?
However, in order to prevent this little girl from continuing to whisper crookedly in her ears, Rong Ruo resolutely stepped out of the courtyard.
King Jing's Mansion is also very large, and she lives in the most remote courtyard, the farthest away from Mu Beichen's courtyard.
With such a choice, Rong Ruo didn't want to have too much contact with that iceberg-like man, and she didn't want to be frozen to death.
When passing by the carp pond, Rong Ruo picked up a stone and threw it out, and snapped his fingers in the air: "Beautiful!" ”
"Every koi fish in this is worth a thousand gold, please don't do it next time." A faint female voice sounded behind Rong Ruo.
Rong Ruoyi turned her head, and there was a young girl in front of her, with a moth eyebrow, a delicate look at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, and a white dress, which made her look even more plain and simple.
"You know me?" Rong Ruo could hear the contempt in the other party's respect from his tone, and he was a little arrogant.
The woman in white bowed slightly, and her apricot eyes swept away: "Yes, everyone in King Jing's Mansion knows that Miss Rong is the fiancée brought back by the prince." ”
This was said very politely, and Rong Ruo smiled: "Then who are you?" ”
The woman in white clasped her hands on her chest, raised her chin slightly, and looked arrogant: "I am Ouyang Xiyue, the housekeeper of Jingwang's Mansion." ”
The housekeeper of King Jing's Mansion is a woman, and she is still so young, which is a bit unexpected, in her heart, the housekeepers are all old men who are over half a hundred years old. Looking at this temperament and demeanor, it doesn't look like a housekeeper, a young lady trained by a rich and noble family.
Ouyang Xiyue's flowing eyes were also secretly looking at Rong Ruo, dressed in a simple dress, and her hair was coiled up at will, but it still did not reduce her stunning color, especially the morning light sprinkled down from above, shining on that youthful face, gorgeous like a freshly blooming peach blossom.
"Oh, butler." Rong Ruo sat on a big stone next to him, and then picked up a piece of gravel and put it in his hand and weighed it: "You just said that the koi fish in here are worth a thousand gold?" ”
Ouyang Xiyue stood behind her, her eyebrows and eyes were sparse, and her eyes were clearly filled with a little contempt: "Yes, every koi fish was bought by the prince with a lot of money, and no one in the palace dared to hurt it easily." ”
Rong Ruo tilted his head and said with a smile: "Anyone, including me?" ”
"Yes, Miss Yung, including you." When Ouyang Xiyue said this, the corners of her mouth pursed, her chin was raised, and her face was elegant but full of strong repulsion.
Rong Ruo pinched his chin with one hand, and the corners of his mouth drew an arc, could it be that this Ouyang butler also has a crush on Mu Beichen?
"You just said that you are the housekeeper of King Jing's Mansion?"
Ouyang Xiyue frowned, wasn't what she said clear enough just now?
Rong Ruo curled the corners of her mouth and said with an interesting smile: "You are just a housekeeper, and I am the fiancée of the prince, should you listen to me?" ”
When Ouyang Xiyue lowered her eyes, her face twitched, and she maintained a rigid tone: "Miss Rong is the prince's guest, so I will naturally treat her well." ”
Rong Ruo raised a finger and shook it: "Steward Ouyang, you seem to have made a mistake, I am not a guest, I am the future mistress of the palace." ”
"I'm sorry, Miss Rong hasn't married the prince yet, I will still entertain you with the etiquette of a guest."
Rong Ruo twisted the gravel, and suddenly threw it into the lake, leading a pool of koi fish to scurry around, which also made Ouyang Xiyue frown again.
Rong Ruo smiled, his eyes were full of blackness: "Otherwise, you invite Mu Beichen and let him tell you?" ”
"The prince is in the study."
What Banxia said in the morning, Rong Ruo originally didn't take it very seriously, but Ouyang Xiyue's attitude just now let Rong Ruo know that if she wasn't strong, her life in King Jing's Mansion would not be easy in the future.
Although she couldn't grasp Mu Beichen's mind as an ice cube man, she could talk to him about the conditions, such as her being unreasonable and asking to be overbearing in the palace, if he really couldn't accept it, wouldn't it be better to let herself leave the palace.
With such a thought, Rong Ruo stood up and clapped his hands: "Let's go, go to the study now." ”
Ouyang Xiyue's eyes flashed, and a complicated emotion flashed in her eyes: "Okay, please Miss Rong come with me." ”
Rong Ruo narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Okay." ”
Rong Ruo stepped into the courtyard of Mu Beichen's study, and just bumped into a fluttering figure head-on, who was not Mu Beichen.
"Lord Wang, wait a minute!" Rong Ruo spread out his hands, blocking the other party's way, and piled up a smiling face.
Behind him, Ouyang Xiyue's eyes fluctuated, and he saluted: "Lord Wang, Miss Rong has something to find you, let me bring it over." ”
Mu Beichen only hummed lightly and asked with his eyes.
Rong Ruo shook his hand: "I'll discuss something with you." ”
Mu Beichen put his hands behind his back: "Say." ”
"Just now, the housekeeper's sister said that as your fiancée of the prince, I am just an ordinary guest in the palace, so she wants to entertain me with the etiquette of a guest." When Rong Ruo speaks, the two bytes of 'ordinary' and 'guest' are also emphatically accentuated.
Mu Beichen had a cold face and no expression.
Rong Ruo smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Lord Wang, I think this housekeeper sister has a misunderstanding about our relationship, in order to get along happily in the future, please explain it to the prince." ”
Ouyang Xiyue pursed the corners of her mouth, Rong Ruo deliberately took a bite of a sister, and took advantage of her in terms of title.
Rong Ruo's cheeks were like spring flowers reflected in Mu Beichen's deep black eyes, and he looked back indifferently, not knowing what tricks this woman was playing.
"The prince can't explain it, and I won't force it." Rong Ruo pointed at his fingers, tilted his head and leaned over: "Otherwise, let's still come as previously discussed?" ”
Mu Beichen's dark eyes moved slightly, and he already knew what she had in mind. It seems that this woman has not given up the idea of taking 1,000 taels to cancel the marriage contract and leave the palace.
Rong Ruo smiled: "Okay?" ”
A trace of doubt appeared in Ouyang Xiyue's eyes, why couldn't there be any deal between the prince and this woman?
"Ouyang, whatever Rong Ruo wants to do in the palace in the future, she can do it." Mu Beichen looked at Ouyang Xiyue and commanded.
Rong Ruo blinked, why didn't he follow his own route.
Ouyang Xiyue bowed her head: "Yes, Lord Wang." ”
Rong Ruo raised his hand: "I want to delicate the mountains and seas every day, and I also want to catch all the koi fish to stew soup and drink, and I ......."
Mu Beichen's cold gaze swept over, and he was fierce: "What else?" ”
"Do you say yes?"
"Yes."
"Uh......"
Rong Ruo held his breath, and finally swept Ouyang Xiyue, and said with his hands around his arms: "Then what if I want to exercise the right of the mistress of the palace to manage the house?" ”
