"Father-in-law Mao, father-in-law, look."

As soon as Maude turned around, he saw the bean soup standing by the door, wincing at him, and smiled and bowed when he saw him turn his head.

Maude scolded with a smile: "Monkey cub, what are you doing standing at the door?" Waiting for me to invite you in? ”

Of course, the bean soup did not come empty-handed, he brought a small bag of tea fruits, and it happened that Mao De was resting at this time and had just made tea.

"Sit." Mao De poured him a cup, and the bean soup had already sat down, so he quickly got up and took the tea with both hands: "Thank you, thank you, I have a good mouth, catch up with the good tea." ”

The tea fruit he brought was a snow-white pink crisp, sweet and not greasy, particularly refreshing, and it was just right with the tea made by Mao De. What is a little inconvenient is that the thin layer of flour on the outside of the flour cake will stick to the fingers, so the bean soup rubs his fingers, and Mao De simply sucks the noodles on his fingers.

"You're here to inquire about Miss Yuan, right?"

Doutang smiled all over his face: "Brother Mao is Brother Mao, your eyes have seen through my heart, liver, spleen and lungs." ”

"It's not that I see through you," Maude said meaningfully, "You're already the fourth to inquire about this." ”

Doutang was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Who are the first three?" ”

Maud glanced at him: "You really want to know?" ”

The bean soup tasted this sentence: "No, no, I don't want to know." My brother still pointed me out, and I went back to talk to our princess. ”

"Actually, it's nothing, Miss Yuan is here to thank the four princes, saying that her younger brother Yuan Ruoqing was sick in the palace, and it was thanks to the four princes that there was no major incident."

"And what about this? I've never heard of it. ”

"It's not a big deal, the atmosphere in the palace school is gradually getting worse, there is no background, the family background is not good, you will always be excluded, if your Royal Highness can take a hand, you will not sit idly by."

The bean soup cleverly said: "Our Royal Highness has always been generous to others, this, do you need to thank you deliberately?" ”

Miss Yuan looks dignified, so many people are watching, she has to hurry up to thank you today?

Of course, it is also possible that people feel that if they miss today, they will not have the opportunity to see the four princes again.

It may also ......

On the way back, Doutang guessed who the first three people who came to ask Maude for news were.

It's not hard to guess.

Gonggong Yao next to the emperor is counted as one, and Gonggong Min next to the queen's mother is counted as one, they will definitely come to ask, and if they don't come in person, they have to send their henchmen.

So who else is there?

The rest of this one is hard to guess. Although there are not many masters in the palace, there are still a few powerful eunuchs in the palace, such as the people from the inner palace eunuch, if the four princes want to get married, it will be their turn to show their talents, and it is possible for them to inquire about the news of the woman's family in advance.

Of course, maybe it's from Soshoji Temple...... There are quite a few troubled people in the clan who "care about everything".

Doutang pondered all the way back, and truthfully gave Liu Yan a 1510 reply to Mao De's words, without adding or subtracting a word, let alone speculating and judging about this matter.

Liu Yan nodded and said, "Got it, you go and rest—Li Shanggong should have left sweet soup for you, they have all drunk it, you can go and drink it." ”

Although the bean soup only drank tea and ate two pieces of flour cake at Maude's place, what is the matter with running back and forth like this. Li Shanggong asked someone to bring him the sweet soup, and of course, he also asked him about the errand just now.

Talking to Li Shanggong, the bean soup is more open than in front of the princess.

"Auntie, why is this Miss Yuan talking to our Fourth Highness?"

Li Shanggong just smiled: "You don't know? So tell me, is Miss Yuan a smart person or a stupid person? ”

Doutang smiled: "The slave didn't recognize Miss Yuan, so she looked at it from a distance, how could she say it clearly." ”

"It doesn't matter, just say it."

Doutang said tentatively: "Many people praise Miss Yuan for being good, she should ...... Not a stupid person. ”

Li Shanggong smiled: "Yes, it shouldn't be stupid, that's a smart person?" ”

The bean soup had no choice but to nod.

Li Shanggong didn't say much after all, but she could conclude from her decades of experience in the palace.

"It's not over."

Soon Doutang understood the meaning of Li Shanggong's words.

It was said that the first whirlpool rotted first, and within a few days, I heard the news that Miss Yuan fell into the water.

Of course, she didn't jump into the water by herself, and it is said that no less than three people saw someone hit her into the water.

As for whether it was unintentional or intentional, it's hard to say.

After that, Doutang also inquired, and Miss Yuan's sister seemed to be involved in this matter, as if she was going to be sent back to her hometown.

Unexpectedly, no one fell into the water on the day Princess Fuyu invited her, and someone still fell into the water until today.

When they heard the news, Gui Yuan and the others happened to be staying in the tea room.

Ginkgo grunted, lowered her voice and said, "This is, sisters fighting for husbands?" ”

Gui Yuan rarely didn't scold her: "We just heard about it, but it may not be accurate." ”

"This is too ruthless, if this Yuan girl can't water, then won't she give her a little life?"

"It's not enough to give her life, and it's not in a deserted place where there is no one around, she goes to the garden as a guest, there are so many people, someone will definitely save her, but if a man rescues her, then this reputation ......"

Ginkgo nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, that can't marry our four highnesses - it's difficult to marry a decent person." ”

"Yes, so it's not about asking for her life, as long as you don't let her be the princess."

But wouldn't it be vicious not to take people's lives? For a girl, if she has a bad reputation and can't marry a good family, most of her life will be ruined.

"It seems that there are other families," Lianzi also interjected closely: "There are many families who want their daughters to be princesses." ”

"If the fourth prince hears about this, he will be very upset." Gui Yuan shook his head.

The position of the four princesses is so contested, this is the time for the poor dagger, no matter who wins in the end, who chooses, such a thing happened in the process of selecting the princess, and the four princes are afraid that they will not be able to get over this hurdle for a long time.

And...... These people are running for fame, profit, power and wealth, and the fourth prince definitely doesn't want to marry the daughter of such a family.

The reaction from the Yilan Palace was very fast, probably because he was afraid of more long nights, and after two days, he quickly decided on the candidates for the four princesses, and I heard that it was a decision made by the emperor and the queen together.

Everyone was surprised by the people who settled down!

is not the dignified Miss Yuan, not the talented Miss Zhang Minzhi, and not the Miss Chen, Miss Zhang and others that some people guessed before.

It was another girl from the Yuan family who heard that she was almost going to be sent back to her hometown because she was suspected of being jealous and framed her sister, and her name was Yuan Ruoqiu.
