After Princess Ruyi and Li Xiuning followed Gao's mother and son into the village, Ruyi's eyes turned, and she looked up at the garden in front of her.

The quadripartite houses are independent, and there are verandahs to connect each other, close the door, each into the world, open the door, and interconnect again, a delicate and unique courtyard is hidden under the laurel tree that covers the sky and the sun, plus the long day in the center of the courtyard The living spring continues to spray water around, in the hot summer, as soon as you walk into this courtyard, you feel that the heat all over the body has subsided.
As the princess of Ruyi, I have lived in a place ten times more luxurious and exquisite than this courtyard, but I have never seen this kind of elegant garden built in the green mountains and green waters, which is full of natural wild interest and ingenuity.
But seeing that the nine-year-old eldest grandson little lady was dressed in plain clothes, with a simple double bun on her head, tied with a cyan hairband, and there was no half of the jewelry on her body, such a simple dress not only made her look dull and tasteless, but contrasted her beautiful face as crystal as jade, her eyes were as bright as water, coupled with the calmness and stability on her body that did not belong to this age group, at a glance, people only felt that this woman had an indescribable grace and nobility.
Princess Ruyi has always been extremely confident in her appearance, but at this moment, standing next to the little lady in front of her, who is more than a year younger than herself, she has a feeling that the other party is the princess who is high, and she is just her foil.
The idea fell here, Princess Ruyi's pretty little face couldn't help but sink slightly, she thought that the eldest grandson and the little lady would definitely be embarrassed after experiencing the death of her father and being expelled from the house by her brother.
However, Ruyi is not the kind of arrogant and brainless princess, although her heart is displeased, but she will not lose her sense of proportion on the spot, she quietly stared at the eldest grandson and the little lady for a long time, and suddenly said with a smile: "Eldest grandson Erniang, since your father passed away, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year, especially when I heard that your second brother didn't think about family affection after your father turned seventy-seven, regardless of the interference of the clansmen, and insisted on forcing your mother and son to move out of the house." ”
"As a friend who has known each other for many years, I was quite worried that under this blow, coupled with your thoughts about the eldest grandson, it will hurt my body, but I didn't expect to find that your complexion is a little better than before when I saw it today, and the environment you live in now is much more comfortable than in the city.
As soon as Princess Ruyi's words came out, Li Xiuning did not say anything other than rolling her eyes, (she knew the grievances between Ruyi and the eldest grandson Xiaoniang, and knew that although Ruyi was a little proud and competitive, she rarely used the identity of the princess to suppress others, in the past few years, she has faced the eldest grandson and the little lady countless times openly and secretly, even if she was suffocated, she never went to the queen and the emperor to complain, because of this, this time Ruyi pestered herself to follow, so she did not refuse.) )
Gao didn't know about Ruyi, and couldn't help but be surprised when he heard it, huh? Listening to Princess Ruyi's words, it seems that she is quite at odds with Guanyin, when did her daughter offend the princess? There is also the meaning of her words, one is a metaphor for their house is not compatible, and the brother Xiao Wall.
The second is a metaphor for ridiculing Guanyin during the period of filial piety, not only did she not know how to be sad for her deceased father, but she was greedy for pleasure. When his mind fell here, Gao couldn't help but look at his daughter with some anxiety.
But seeing that her daughter didn't seem to be aware of the sarcasm in the princess's words, she raised her eyes and glanced at Princess Ruyi, and said with a calm face: "The princess is serious, and the princess can be missed, Erniang is very grateful, as for the rumors about my second brother, it is purely false, after my father passed away, the family discussed for a long time, and felt that my father was not there, and it was not easy for everyone to have friction when they were separated, so I invited the clan to witness and divide the family." “
"If my second brother forcibly evicted us from the house, as rumored, how can we return to our ancestral house at any time? There is also a father, he loved Erniang the most during his lifetime, and now that his father is gone, Erniang in addition to chanting and praying for him every day, the only thing he can do is to take good care of his body and take care of his mother, I think if the princess changes places with me, it will be the same. ”
"Haha, you're right, but I misbelieved the rumors, and I bothered in vain, eldest grandson Erniang, I see that your Zhuangzi environment is quiet and pleasant, especially suitable for summer vacation, don't you mind if I stay here for a few days?" Princess Ruyi rolled her eyes when she heard this, laughed dryly, and said.
"It's rare that the princess doesn't like the humble house, and the second mother is too late to welcome her, how can she mind." The eldest grandson and the little lady said with a smile.
"That's very good, cousin Xiuning, if you have something to do, you can go back first, I want to live in the eldest grandson Erniang's village for a while." As soon as the eldest grandson's little lady's voice fell, Princess Ruyi clapped her hands and laughed, and turned her eyes to Li Xiuning on her right hand while laughing.
"I came to find Erniang at this time, I just wanted to come to live here for a while, the elimination department, how can there be anything, since you also like it here, the three of us have company, and we can walk around every day, hunting or something." Li Xiuning saw that Ruyi had turned the topic around herself, and naturally took over the conversation with a smile.
Princess Ruyi stayed with Li Xiuning in Beizhuang, where she lived in the eldest grandson's little lady's house, and when Li Xiuning and Princess Ruyi's accommodation were settled, and the Gao family stayed alone with the eldest grandson and little lady, she couldn't help but ask: "Guanyin, I see that Princess Ruyi seems to be quite resentful of you, when did you offend her?" ”
"A-Niang, you think too much, how can I offend the princess? Since the two of you met, you have been getting along like this, don't worry, Princess Ruyi is not a bad person, she just likes to fight with Xiao Er and have fun. The eldest grandson and little lady pursed her lips and smiled slightly, softly comforting her mother.
