Chapter 159: Leather Cloak
Cuizhu said inside: "Sister Qiyu Zhong, the prince and His Royal Highness the crown prince are here!" ”
In the inner room, Chunhua and Qiushi had just burned two charcoal pots, and at this time, the three masters and servants were sitting together to roast the fire, chatting by the way! Unexpectedly, Xiao Yulin had just left, and now he is back, and he has brought one more person back.
Although Zhong Yuqi didn't want to see them, she had to see them, so she had to say outside: "Please come in with the prince and the prince!" ”
Cuizhu and Caihe opened the door, and Xiao Yulin and Xiao Ziteng walked in together.
Zhong Yuqi also walked out of the inner room with Chunhua and Qiushi, and first greeted Xiao Ziteng.
It's just a bow to the body, and Chunhua and Qiushi only bow to the body. After all, they are the masters here, and this is not a formal occasion, so there is no need to be too formal.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Zhong Yuqi said.
Xiao Ziteng smiled and raised his hand to help him, and said, "Sister Zhong doesn't have to be polite!" ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "Lord, His Royal Highness the Prince, please take a seat!" ”
Xiao Yulin said to Zhong Yuqi: "Sister Zhong, you also sit!" ”
The three of them sat down.
Chunhua walked out and ordered someone to serve tea.
Xiao Ziteng looked around, and then said a little strangely: "Huh? Didn't Uncle Huang send a charcoal basin here? Why is it so cold here? ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has misunderstood the prince!" I usually live in seclusion, and I usually like to stay in the inner room, so the charcoal basin is placed in the inner room. Chunhua, Qiushi, go and bring out all the charcoal pots! ”
Xiao Ziteng hurriedly raised his hand to stop: "This prince doesn't need to!" This prince is not afraid of the cold, but he is afraid that Sister Zhong will be cold, so he has this one. You go and move the charcoal basin to Sister Zhong's feet, and don't let Sister Zhong get cold. ”
"Yes!"
Chunhua and Qiushi responded and walked to the inner room.
Xiao Yulin pursed his lips and accused Xiao Ziteng in his heart of being noisy.
He, the master of the Ruiwang Mansion, is sitting here, where is his turn to be a guest?
However, thinking of how high and miserable Xiao Ziteng climbed and fell miserably, Xiao Yulin didn't say anything at this time.
After Jin Ju and Bai Xue served tea, they waited in the house. Now that there are guests present, they have to be at their disposal at all times.
Chunhua and Qiushi each brought a charcoal basin over and placed it at Zhong Yuqi's feet.
Although Zhong Yuqi is not afraid of the cold, she doesn't want to talk to them more now, so she lets them go.
Zhong Yuqi said to Xiao Ziteng: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the palace, didn't he come to find the prince?" ”
Xiao Ziteng said: "Oh! The prince had two good skins and made two cloaks earlier. Now that he saw the sudden change in qi, he was afraid that it was going to snow, so he sent two skins to King Rui's mansion, one for Uncle Huang and one for Sister Zhong. ”
Zhong Yuqi frowned slightly, and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave good things to the prince, but this has to be passed." It's just that why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince send me here? I'm just a cloth cloth, and I don't have much friendship with His Royal Highness the Prince, so it's really hard to bear His Royal Highness's generous gift, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take it back. ”
Xiao Ziteng said: "This prince knows that there is only one new leather in King Rui's mansion, and he doesn't know if it will be sent to Sister Zhong, so this prince took both skins over, so as not to lose proportion." I don't know what the color of the emperor's leather is, if the condition is not as good as the prince's, the emperor's uncle and Sister Zhong can also use the things given by the prince. Just now outside, Uncle Huang's one has been given away. Now this one is for Sister Zhong. Come! ”
A guy came over with a tray.
Zhong Yuqi said: "When the prince came before, he had already sent a cloak over. ”
Xiao Ziteng raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? It turns out that Uncle Huang's skin was really sent here! ”
Xiao Yulin said in a low voice: "What's the matter? ”
Xiao Ziteng was stunned for a moment, and then said to Xiao Yulin with a smile: "Oh! Uncle Huang, you know, my nephew didn't mean that, Uncle Huang shouldn't think about it! ”
Xiao Yulin rolled his eyes at Xiao Ziteng, and then turned his face away.
Zhong Yuqi didn't explain anything, but said, "Since I already have a cloak here, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can bring another one back." ”
Xiao Ziteng said: "Sister Zhong can't help but take out the cloak given by the emperor's uncle and take a look at the comparison to see which one has better skin quality." ”
Xiao Yulin looked at Xiao Ziteng unhappily and said, "What does the prince mean by this?" Is it that the king's things are inferior to the prince's? ”
Xiao Ziteng hurriedly explained: "Uncle Huang, where do you want to go?" My nephew just thought, let's see what kind of thing is better, and it's comfortable to use! ”
Xiao Yulin said: "What this king gave to Sister Zhong is not leather, it is just an ordinary cotton cloak!" ”
Xiao Ziteng was taken aback and said, "What? Uncle Huang, you're not right! Sister Zhong was a guest in King Rui's mansion, even if Uncle Huang only had a leather in his hand and didn't give it to Sister Zhong, it would be too angry, right? Uncle Huang also knew that Sister Zhong was from the south and couldn't stand the cold. If Uncle Huang wants skin, it is also a very simple matter. The worst is that the imperial uncle can also ask for his nephew! Besides, there is more than one leather cloak in King Rui's mansion, right? ”
Xiao Yulin glared at Xiao Ziteng and said, "Are you teaching this king?" ”
Xiao Ziteng hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Nephew doesn't dare!" ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has misunderstood! Now that it was not so cold, the prince first brought a cotton cloak and came over to me to use. I don't go out much, and it's a waste to take a leather cloak, so I asked the prince not to send it over. The prince often goes out, and the leather cloak is still left for the prince. ”
Zhong Yuqi saw this situation and knew that Xiao Yulin did not tell Xiao Ziteng that she didn't like leather cloaks. Therefore, Zhong Yuqi did not dismantle Xiao Yulin's platform.
When Xiao Yulin heard this, he was very happy in his heart, and even a smile appeared on his face.
Xiao Ziteng said: "Sister Zhong's words are wrong! It's not very cold today, but the weather has changed, and it will snow tomorrow. Although Sister Zhong can't go out all the time, she has a leather cloak in her hand, so it's better to be a backup, isn't it? Maybe when, Sister Zhong will go out! As soon as the snow falls, the plum blossoms are about to bloom. The plum blossoms in Ruiwang's Mansion are good, and after I think Sister Zhong has seen it, I am afraid that I am not willing to go back to the North Courtyard. ”
Zhong Yuqi had no choice but to say: "It's cold outside, so I like to nest in the house." Moreover, I also didn't like the leather cloak, it was too heavy, so I politely refused the prince before. I have appreciated His Royal Highness the Prince's kindness, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to bring back the cloak. ”
Since Zhong Yuqi is like this, Xiao Ziteng can't persuade Zhong Yuqi to accept it anymore.
