The things done by the Tuo'an clan quickly came to fruition, but the person who sent Danzhu Ruyi back was greatly surprised by Su Ruyi's expectations, and it can even be said that he didn't even think about it: "Why is the Fifth Highness here?" ”

"I came to say hello to the imperial grandmother, the imperial grandmother is tired, I want to come to the peach forest here to pick a few peaches, I happen to be thirsty, I remember that Sister Ruhui lives here, so I want to ask for a glass of water to drink." Gan Pei said obediently.

Seeing him like this, it was hard for Su Ruhui not to think of Gan Tang when she first entered the palace, and she instructed Xiuwan: "Go and brew the floating cloud top given by the Queen Mother last time." ”

"Sister Rue really loves me, but the floating cloud top is rare in the tribute, and my sister is not afraid of much here, I'm just thirsty, just give me a glass of water." Gan Pei said this, Su Ruhui didn't dare to snub him, today's Fifth Highness is no longer the innocent and ignorant child of the previous two years, the dispute between the prince and the third prince is gradually clear, as the prince's half-brother, Gan Pei is also becoming more and more "smart".

Su Ruhui had a good friendship with the King of Chu when she was a child, which everyone in the palace knew, and the King of Chu and Gan Tang had a very different brotherhood, and Su Ruhui sometimes felt that she was very wronged. But she had to admit that if she was Gan Pei, she wouldn't be able to get close to Su Ruhui from her heart. She didn't want to go back and be drugged and say that she was snubbing the young prince. Besides, no matter how good the floating cloud top is, she doesn't like to drink, and she keeps it for hospitality.

"It's rare for the Fifth Highness to come to the courtiers, how dare the courtiers not do their best?" Su Ruhui peeled the orange for him with her own hands, "This was given by the Queen Mother last time, Your Highness will taste one to quench your thirst first." ”

Gan Pei ate a few cloves casually, didn't say oranges, only said: "Thank you Sister Ruhui." ”

He came so uninvited, Su Ruhui couldn't guess what his idea was, although His Royal Highness's mind began to be complicated, he was still a child, and this kind of person's mind was the most difficult to guess, because you don't know if he was being childish, or if he was planning something. So he used the reason he just said to come and asked, "Does Your Highness like to eat peaches?" It's a pity that the courtiers here have no more peaches, and the peach forest below is not as good as the tribute, if His Royal Highness doesn't give up, the courtiers will go to pick a few to wash and enter His Highness? ”

"It's fine." Gan Pei smiled suddenly, "Why does Sister Ruhui see her like this?" I call you a sister, you call me by my name, what kind of courtier, you know that I have no sister, and I have always regarded you as my own sister who was raised by the emperor's mother. ”

What he said was sincere, but Su Ruhui didn't hear it, and first ordered the floating water to pick peaches, and then said with a straight face: "The courtiers know that His Royal Highness is generous, but the duties and rules, the courtiers dare not forget." ”

"Well, this year is about to pass, and Sister Ruhua should be cautious." Gan Pei's eyes rolled, and he nodded solemnly.

It's just that he's not very old, and it's funny to put on such a solemn appearance.

Su Ruhui heard him deliberately mention the word "this year", raised her eyebrows, and was about to speak. At this time, Xiuwan made a pot of floating light cloud top and presented it, as Gan Pei said, floating light cloud top is a unique tribute tea of Xu State, which is very precious. This kind of tea only grows on the Yunding Mountain, which is a thousand blades high, and it is said that the tea plant is special, and it must be picked between the clouds and mist with the first rays of morning light to make tribute, otherwise it will lose its charm.

This tea can not be made of ceramics, but to use glass utensils, in order to see the buds and leaves inside, but see the clear tea soup, a leaf of emerald green with golden tea leaves leisurely stretched, just like the golden morning light into the tea, like light and shadow floating. Evil is special.

Gan Pei is different from Su Ruhui, although he is young, he is very familiar with this Tao in the middle palace with his family history, and he was still saying that he was not polite just now, and he saw that the glass cup was bright, and he sighed: "Good tea!" He glanced at Xiuwan and didn't speak. Su Ruhui knew what he meant, tea was good tea, glass was a good glass cup, water, and the craftsmanship of making tea was different.

There are wells in the palace, but the water that the Queen Mother, Changtai, and the Queen drink is a mountain spring specially transported from outside the city, although Su Ruhui lives in Renshou Palace, but only in the Detai Hall can drink the spring water, and usually drinks a deep well behind the Yutang Palace, although it is still sweet and clear, it is not as good as the spring water.

What's more, Xiuwan was born as a rough palace maid, and her tea-making skills are even reluctant, and people like Gan Pei who are used to seeing good things naturally feel sorry.

Su Ruhui didn't see it, not to mention that she didn't like to drink tea, and she didn't instruct Xiuwan, even if she had this skill, she didn't want to arouse Gan Pei's hobby, so when the time came, she would come over and run around if she had nothing to do, and she bothered her in vain. What's more, this is not something she can get close to at will.

Gan Pei took a sip of tea, smiled and took out a palm-sized wooden box and put it on the table: "Sister Ruhui treats me so well, I have taken out all the floating clouds, how can I not reciprocate?" ”

Su Ruhui glanced at him in surprise: "Your Highness, what are you doing?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just running errands for people." Gan Pei put down the glass cup, smiled slowly, and motioned for Su Ruhui to accept it.

Su Ruhui frowned, and was about to shirk it, when the floating water outside the hall held four or five white and red peaches with a handkerchief, but a grandmother came in behind her.

After the grandmother came in, she saluted first, and said hurriedly: "Fifth Highness, you have come here!" Shun'er can't find you, she's going crazy, so I'm going to tell the queen! ”

Gan Pei pursed the corners of his lips and muttered: "I will scare me after telling my mother!" In the end, he got up and straightened his clothes, and said politely to Su Ruhua, "Sister Ruhua, thank you for your tea, I will leave!" ”

"Your Highness, let's go!" Su Ruhui glanced at the floating water, and the floating water hurriedly held the peach in front of Gan Pei, Gan Pei walked out, and when he saw it, he wanted to get one, but the grandmother was quick-eyed, grabbed his hand, and said unhappily: "Miss Su, this peach must have been picked from outside the Yutang Palace, right?" Please forgive the slave and maid for saying bluntly, the peach below is the benevolence of the Queen Mother, and it is left for the slaves and maids in the palace to make a tooth sacrifice, how noble His Royal Highness is, how can he eat such a thing! Besides, didn't Miss see that this peach was not washed, and there were many on it. Mao, what if you prick His Highness's hand? ”

The floating water suddenly turned red, and the hand holding the handkerchief trembled, Su Ruhui glanced at Xiuwan, Xiuwan understood, took a few steps forward to hold the floating water, and said to the grandmother with a humble smile: "This grandmother looks at the face, but since she serves the Fifth Highness, she must also be a powerful grandmother by the queen's side?" Mama has been in the palace for many years, and she has to be mentioned by the queen's mother, naturally it is not comparable to the young slave maid, this style is very different from ordinary palaces. ”

"There are so many powerful people around the queen's mother, how can my old woman be counted? It's just that she is favored by her mother, and she has always taken care of the Fifth Highness. The grandmother listened to Xiuwan's words and said with a hint of pride.

"In this case, how could Mama neglect her duties and let Her Highness play alone in the peach forest outside the Jade Hall? So much so that His Highness can't find anyone when he's thirsty! Only to get the Jade Hall Hall to beg for water to drink? Xiuwan's face suddenly changed, and she shouted loudly! The queen mother trusts Mama and hands over the Fifth Highness to Mama to take care of, is this how Mama takes care of the dignified son? ”

The grandmother's face changed color when she heard this, and when she saw Su Ruhui standing there without looking at her, her anger rose more and more, and she sneered: "My wife has been in the palace for decades, but it is the first time that she has been taught such a lesson by a little palace maid!" Miss Su is young and can't control her subordinates, but although the old woman is a slave, she is also the queen's mother, even if she is at fault, the queen mother, who has the right to hold the six palaces, personally teaches, when, one of the Yutang Palaces. Cheap palace maid, can she even be compared with the queen's mother? It's really indistinguishable from the extreme! ”

This grandmother is an old man who has been in the palace for decades, but she skipped Xiuwan and went directly to find Su Ruhua.

Su Ruhui glanced at her lightly and said lightly: "Xiuwan, can you write down this lesson?" ”

"The slave has written it down!" Xiuwan heard Su Ruhui speak, and immediately lowered her eyebrows and said.

"When you ask the Queen Mother for a while, remember to ask the Queen Mother for sin." Su Ruhui said indifferently.

The grandmother originally saw that Su Ruhui ignored her, and was about to sneer and continue to ask, when she heard this, she was stunned at first, and then she was quietly pinched by Gan Pei on her leg, and suddenly came to her senses, and immediately said angrily: "What does Miss Su mean by this?" Do you want the wicked to sue first? ”

"Mama is really a pair of sharp eyes, and when she saw me, she asserted that I was a wicked person." Su Ruhui smiled at her, "Just yesterday, the Queen Mother also praised our sisters for being virtuous and virtuous, it turns out that the Queen Mother is just talking about fun, I don't follow when I look back, I want to find the Queen Mother to listen to the truth." She smiled like a flower, but every word was like a knife, "It's just that Mama Dao Xiuwan is down. Cheap palace people, Xiuwan is when I first entered the palace, the Queen Mother personally selected to serve me, these seven years have always been with me, said to be a slave, but also like my sister, in this way, I don't know what Mama means, is to say that the Queen Mother specially chose one. Is it a cheap person to accompany me, or am I the same as Xiuwan? Or does Mama think that the palace maids in Renshou Palace, Mama can also beat and scold at will? ”

The grandmother was stunned and speechless!

Gan Pei scolded secretly in his heart, turned his head and smiled sweetly: "Sister Ruhua, why is Mama He confused, why should my sister be like her?" As he spoke, he suddenly raised his leg and kicked at Mama He!

Mama He was caught off guard, even though Gan Pei was young, she also began to practice martial arts, and with all her strength, she kicked her suddenly, fell to the ground, rubbed the injury and looked at Gan Pei with indescribable surprise.

"You old. Slave, who looks honest on weekdays, dares to be so presumptuous to the people around Sister Ruhua! Gan Pei shook his head and sighed, "If it weren't for Sister Ruhua today, I wouldn't know that this old man is so tricky, don't worry, I will dispose of her after I go back, and I will never let my sister and the people around my sister suffer this grievance!" Before the words fell, he raised his hand to pick up a peach, and said with a sneer, "The old man with a mouth full of nonsense, although there is hair on this peach, just hold it in the palm of your hand and it's fine, when I don't know!" ”

Su Ruhui coughed lightly and said with pity: "Your Highness, although Mama He didn't listen to what she said a little, in the end, she also felt sorry for Your Highness, besides, the people around the courtiers are still Mama He's juniors, and it is also appropriate to listen to a few lessons." Xiuwan, why don't you go and help Mama up? ”

Xiuwan pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes!" Respectfully stepped forward to help Mama He, waited for her to stand up, saluted again, and said with a smile, "Mama, Xiuwan is young and doesn't know anything, what she said in a hurry just now, if there is something unhappy about Mama listening to, don't go to your heart!" Xiuwan has followed Miss in the past few years, but she has been spoiled by Miss! ”

"You!" Before Mama He could answer, Su Ruhui had already shook her head with a smile and said angrily, "Looking at me for conniving at you, do you think anyone is going to get used to you?" Mama He, you don't have to give me face, just punish her! ”

"......" Mama He couldn't hear what she meant, peeking in, the daughter of the Su family was standing not far away with a smile, smiling with a virtuous and benevolent face, but the edge of her eyes flashed, I was afraid that she would not be interested in saying a penalty, and the knife flying out of her eyes could stab herself.

"It's the old woman who is arrogant and out of shape, where can I blame Miss Xiuwan? Please don't be embarrassed by Miss Su. ”
