Wei Ruyi was thinking about what Lou Yan told herself about Shamu that day, Mu Ying went to get her fruit, and she wandered on the swing alone until the wind blew, mixed with a strange atmosphere.

She immediately woke up, got up, turned her head to look, and saw King Ping in a red python robe.

King Ping's emotions were collected quickly, Wei Ruyi didn't see it, but he came in like this, and hurriedly saluted: "The courtiers didn't know that His Highness would come, and they missed the welcome." ”

"It's the king's presumption." Seeing that she was a little panicked, King Ping walked over with a gentle smile and sat down on the stone bench opposite her.

Soon, a mother-in-law heard the news and brought tea, and she looked panicked, Wei Ruyi only had a pale face and did not have a seizure.

She looked at King Ping in front of her and instructed her mother-in-law, "Go to Chen's Mansion and ask your uncle to come over." ”

When King Ping heard this, he looked at her puzzled: "What do you ask General Chen to do?" ”

"In addition to Ruyi, there are no other elders in the house, Ruyi is young and doesn't know how to entertain you, so I want to invite my uncle over." Wei Ruyi replied with a light smile, but her grandmother left yesterday, and so did her father, so it was common for her to think that King Ping didn't know.

King Ping's face also rose a little embarrassed, and he got up and said with a smile: "It's this king who is abrupt, and there is nothing else to do today, I just want to ask Miss Wei where the jade bead on her wrist came from before, and there is no other meaning." ”

Wei Ru asked him, but he could only pretend to be ignorant and wondered: "Yuzhu? I have a lot of jade beads, I don't know which one Your Highness is talking about? ”

When King Ping saw her like this, he remembered that the person who came to the newspaper before said that she had lost her memory because of her injury and forgot about Princess Ping's past...... And if she remembers, her father will definitely not let her go.

When he heard this, he smiled gently: "I don't remember." The hour is not early, and the king will not stay long. ”

"The prince walks slowly." Wei Ruyi lowered his eyes and saluted.

King Ping glanced at her again, and there was no longer the shadow of Princess Fang Caiping, but the bead ...... Is it just a coincidence?

When he left, Mu Yingcai hurried over, threw the melon and fruit aside and hurriedly said, "Why is His Royal Highness King Ping here......

Wei Ruyi's eyes were slightly cold, and he immediately said, "Go and call the housekeeper for me!" ”

The woman shuddered and hurried to do it.

In a short time, the shrunken butler was brought in.

When he came, he showed a flattering smile and said, "Miss called the slave to come ......."

"King Ping doesn't know that I'm alone in the mansion, and you don't know either? Fortunately, it is still early today, and King Ping is still a righteous gentleman, otherwise you should know that my reputation will be ruined! Wei Ruyi asked him sharply, but he didn't save any face.

The housekeeper immediately cried and knelt on the ground and shouted: "Miss, you can't blame the slave, it was His Royal Highness King Ping who ordered not to disturb your ......"

"Is he your master or am I your master?" Wei Ruyi said angrily, this group of people, no matter how much King Ping commanded, they didn't say a word, if someone came again and told them not to come in, wouldn't they have become fish on someone else's chopping block in their own home?

The housekeeper pouted, and was about to argue, but Mu Ying was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked him to the ground: "Bastard thing!" After speaking, he looked at Wei Ruyi: "Miss, what do you say to deal with?" ”

"Today, all the subordinates in the front yard will be beaten with ten boards, fined three months of silver, and then driven out of the house, as for this housekeeper, he will be fined for one year, and he will be handed over to Ya Po to sell, and the farther he sells, the better."

Wei Ruyi didn't leave any room at all, she gave these people a way back again and again, but they were good, and they always thought that she was easy to bully alone.

When the words fell, the housekeeper was immediately dumbfounded, and was busy begging for mercy, Mu Ying immediately pulled his shoes and stuffed them in his mouth, and then shouted that the stunned subordinates next to him tied him up, but Wei Ruyi was in no mood to eat fruit even if he sent these people.

only asked Mu Ying to clean up the salute, found a reliable mother-in-law to guard the door, and went to Chen's house, so that when Jiang Yan rushed over, he only pounced.

Because he had settled a family relationship with Chen Yansleeve, he rarely went to Chen's house, but now he didn't want to go back to King Zhao's Mansion, so after thinking about it, he turned his head to find Lou Yan.

As soon as Wei Ruyi arrived at Chen's house, he saw an unexpected person.

"Sister Wei!"

Lianxin waved at her happily and wanted to run over, but after taking two steps, she was stopped by Yahuan.

Wei Ru thought that she actually came to the Chen Mansion, and walked over curiously, so she explained: "I thought you were here, I just came here and found that I was not there, and I was about to go to the Wei family to look for you, but I didn't expect you to appear again." My body is all right, the other courtyards are also cleaned up, let's go pick lotus flowers, Uncle Rong Wang said that now the lotus flowers are grown, I still want to pick some lotus seeds to make tea. ”

Wei Ruyi listened to her talk endlessly, and smiled: "You like to pick lotus seeds, I have a good place to go." "She doesn't dare to go to King Rong's territory rashly, but there is one place where Lianxin should like it.

"Where?"

"There is a large lake in the courtyard where the old lady lives temporarily, and there are many small boats parked in the lake." Wei Ruyi said.

Lianxin is young, so it naturally doesn't matter where she goes, as long as it's fun, she nods immediately; "Okay, just go there, I just don't know if it will disturb the old lady."

"No, it won't." The old lady likes to be accompanied by someone to relieve boredom, this Wei Ruyi is clear: "Let's pick lotus seeds at that time, and then go to Sister Qingwei to ask for some jam, and let Sister Yansleeve use a knife to shave ice for us, pour jam, and put some fruit ......"

Wei Ruyi said as Lianxin and the girl ring beside her swallowed saliva.

Wei Ruyi still gushed: "By the way, there are also sweet and sour fruits, ask someone to chop and sprinkle some, grind some almonds and walnuts, and then ask the restaurant to pick up some of the best crabs when I go, the big ones are steamed, and the small ones are drunk crabs, and then lie in the boat, blowing the breeze ......."

Lianxin's stomach growled, her little face was slightly red, and she said shyly: "Then Ming'er, I will definitely come Ming'er." ”

"Okay."

Lianxin was satisfied and asked some things for Ming'er to prepare, and then went back happily.

When she left, Wei Ruyi went to greet the old lady.

Now that the capital has sealed two more princes, everyone can see the changes in the situation clearly, and even the Chen family must inevitably observe carefully, so as to avoid standing in the wrong line and causing the disaster of annihilation when forced to do so in the future.

The undercurrents in the capital were surging, and even Qi and Fusang had made preparations.

But these major affairs in the court and politics are all worried about by men, Wei Ruyi only knows that Wei Xin was taken out of the capital by the emperor, and now Jiang Di has also been punished out of Beijing for inspection, so to deal with King Rong's affairs, she can put it aside for the time being, and take care of the old concubine and these people around her first.

Early the next morning, the old lady heard that Wei Ruyi was here and brought a group of young ladies.

She hurried over, and before she could speak, Wei Ruyi raised her little face and said with a smile: "Mama, we are here to pick lotus, and the lotus seeds elsewhere are not good, just here they are big and fresh." ”

After speaking, he motioned for Lianxin to come forward and salute.

When the old lady saw Lianxin, she remembered that Princess An Chang was coming, so she looked at Wei Ruyi helplessly: "Princess Jinghe and wait, the old slave will go and ask the concubine." ”

"Yes."

Wei Ruyi responded with a smile, the old lady smiled helplessly and shook her head, and saw that they were carrying things in their hands, and asked a few curiously, and then laughed more and more helplessly, but she knew that the old lady would want them to come in.

Wouldn't it be interesting to watch such young and energetic young ladies tinker with these things between young girls?

After a while, the old lady invited them in, but she only said that the old lady was unwell, so she didn't need them to ask for peace, and let them go to play.

The early morning wind is still cool, the green lotus leaves all over the lake are also exceptionally fresh, and the long branches stand tall, holding the defeated lotus flowers, revealing the ripe lotus canopy inside.

The powerful mothers-in-law went to hold the boat, and they waited on the shore.

Hu Qingwei came here for the first time, her little face was so excited that she was flushed, and said to Wei Ruyi: "I brought jam made of strawberries and oranges, which my grandmother made by hand, sweet but not greasy." Two baskets of fresh peaches arrived yesterday afternoon, you see, they were big and sweet, and when you bite into them, they are full of juice and soft and crunchy flesh. ”

Chen Yansleeve also took one curiously, took out his dagger that had not been bladed yet, cut one out, and handed it to Wei Ruyi: "Try it." ”

Wei Ruyi carefully held back her saliva, took it and took a sip: "It's delicious!" ”

Lianxin was timid, pulled Wei Ruyi's sleeve and asked her, "Sister Wei, how delicious it is." ”

Wei Ruyi burst out laughing, and hurriedly beckoned the girl-in-law to come over to peel peaches, and asked people to take some of them to the old lady.

After the peaches were eaten, the mothers-in-law's boat also survived.

The four of them got on the boat and began to pick lotus flowers, and the lotus heart was the most diligent, but after a while, they were too tired to stand.

Wei Ruyi leisurely did not move, holding a piece of preserved fruit in her mouth, while supporting her face and chanting poetry, her hands drooping in the transparent and cold lake from time to time, squinting her eyes comfortably.

Several people worked for a while, and when the sun came out, they let the boat go to the shade by the lake, and watched the koi fish for a while, and then carried the lotus seeds ashore.

Lianxin and Hu Qingwei's faces were both red and fluttering, and they were cute.

The four of them talked happily as they walked, but halfway through, they met several princes and Lou Yan who also happened to come to greet the old lady.

Ah Zhong, who followed Lou Yan, was holding a small wooden box in his hand.

"Your Excellency, it's Miss Wei." Ah Zhong hurriedly reminded Lou Yan, Lou Yan's footsteps stopped, turned her head to look at her, and she ran up with her skirt without saying a word.

"Brother Yan has a gift for me?" She raised her little face, Lou Yan hummed lightly, and gave her the box.

As soon as the princes who walked in front turned around, they also stopped when they saw Wei Ruyi and a few young ladies.

Jiang Yan immediately came over and said, "Ruyi, why are you here too?" ”

"Come and say hello to the old lady."

"Yes, then why did Xiao Yan bring you lychees sent thousands of miles away? I didn't see any of these two lockets, so he brought them to you. Jiang Yan was very jealous.

Wei Ruyi's eyes were bright, it turned out that it was lychees!

"Go play by yourselves." Lou Yan Road.

"Hmm." Wei Ruyi was just about to nod, but he heard King Ping say: "Since you are here to ask for peace, let's go and invite peace together and then come out for a walk." He laughs.

As soon as he opened his mouth, no one in the crowd had anything to refute, and Wei Ruyi happened to be going to ask the old lady for peace.

Although Lianxin was a little timid, King Ping still remembered her, so he called her to the side, and talked to her gently as he walked.

But even if a group of them came over, the old lady still didn't see them, and only asked them to ask for peace in the outer hall and sent them out.

Wei Ruyi picked a lake pavilion and sat down, and at this time, it was close to noon, and the dishes prepared by Fang Bo happened to be delivered.

Four signature dishes plus a small wooden barrel of drunken crab, paired with meat and vegetarian dishes, do not need to be made in the kitchen.

During the banquet, King Ping looked at the restrained crowd and only smiled: "Don't worry about me, how you are on weekdays, just do it today." ”

"Okay!" Wei Ruyi was especially happy, and after asking someone to set up the dishes, she asked someone to take down the jam and lotus seeds and the like to deal with them, and the methods were all explained by her earlier.

"Ruyi, is this from Laifulou? It tastes so good! After Jiang Yan tasted it, Hao praised it without hesitation.

Lianxin also asked timidly: "Is it called Fulou?" ”

Jiang Yan added: "Yes, but there are some dishes that you want to eat, but you may not be able to eat them, so in the future, you can take her out to play more and ask Uncle Fang to send some." ”

"Why can't you eat it?"

"Wishful thinking, breaking the rules." Jiang Yan told Wei Ruyi in detail how to set the rules and how to renovate the restaurant, and several girls were dumbfounded when they heard it, Lou Yan only glanced at King Ping, and lowered his eyes: "After getting married, you will marry and teach children, and you will leave the business to the people below to do." ”

Wei Ru suggested that he suddenly mention this, and subconsciously went to see King Ping, and only after seeing his admiring gaze did he smile and said: "I don't have the heart to care about this, I just made a restaurant on a whim, and I will hand it over to Uncle Fang to take care of in the future." ”

King Ping asked her, "Is it really out of interest?" ”

"Her interest should be in having children." After Lou Yan finished speaking, he sandwiched the crab that his subordinates had peeled for him into Wei Ruyi's bowl.

Wei Ruyi knew that he was helping himself, King Ping was now ambitious, and there must be a lot of money behind him, and he had left King Ping's Mansion for many years, and it was impossible for him to have any savings, so he must urgently need a large amount of gold and silver.

In the end, she is a woman, if King Ruoping forcibly forces her to make money for herself, she can't refuse, after all, Jiang Yan and Lou Yan are bent on helping him to ascend to the throne, but if he takes the throne, he will be ruined.

Chen Yansleeve also noticed something, and secretly stepped on Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan reacted, and hurriedly said: "By the way, Ruyi, you said what dessert you want to make, do you want to go to the kitchen to have a look, in case you can't make it......"

"Let's go together, I'm dizzy from the heat, I just want to eat something cold." Chen Yansleeve echoed.

Wei Ruyi took the opportunity to get up and leave, Chen Yansleeve and Hu Qingwei hurriedly followed, and Lianxin naturally had to follow.

After they left, King Ping only ate half a bowl of rice lightly, drank some soup, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks, and smiled lightly: "What are you afraid of?" ”

"Brother Pingwang ......"

"Ruyi has nothing to do with the prince's affairs, she can't get involved." Lou Yan didn't have any cover-up.

King Ping smiled lightly: "Does this king have to involve her?" ”

Lou Yan's eyes were slightly cold: "Then the minister can only be a traitor who deceives the king." ”

"Lou Yan, she is really your weakness, if one day, several other imperial brothers use her to threaten you, will you also betray this king?" King Ping sneered and asked him, Jiang Yan only hated himself for having a broken mouth, how could he talk about this, and said busily: "Brother King Ping, Xiao Yan will definitely not, he is measured." ”

"So the minister won't let her get involved, and won't let others have a chance." Lou Yan has no intention of giving in.

The monarch and the minister, he has never been a minister.

King Ping also saw this, so he guarded against him everywhere and refused to trust him everywhere.

After Lou Yan finished speaking, the old lady came over and said that the old lady was invited, so he got up and saluted King Ping lightly and left.

As soon as he left, Jiang Yan only said: "Brother Pingwang......"

"You don't have to say it anymore, Miss Wei is kind to Yu Xian'er, so naturally I won't hurt her. Can't even you trust Brother Wang? King Ping asked him with a smile.

"Naturally not, just ......"

"It's just that I haven't seen you for many years, and you don't know me anymore." King Ping was still smiling, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

Jiang Yan saw him like this, and only fell silent.

It didn't take long for Wei Ruyi to finish the things, the white rustling ice was piled up in a delicate little bowl, and the peeled lychees were placed in it, and the sweet jam was poured on the outside, and some crushed walnuts and preserved fruits were sprinkled.

Lianxin can only eat one or two bites because of her weak body, so she deliberately asked Xiao Yahuan to stay and learn how to do it, Wei Ruyi didn't control Hu Qingwei for a while, she had already eaten a bowl she had just made, and she happily told Wei Ruyi that her mouth was cold.

Wei Ruyi grinned, and asked someone to take some out and send them to the old lady, before saying: "The rest, I will take it to the two masters of Wukang and Wuhui, and the white fungus lotus seed soup will be ready in a while, sisters, don't be greedy and eat more." ”

"I won't eat much, just stare at Qingwei." Chen Yansleeve looked at Hu Qing, who was eating happily, and smiled.

Lianxin also covered her lips and smiled, and Wei Ruyi smiled and went out with Mu Ying.

On the way out, Mu Ying said in a low voice: "Miss, this courtyard is all arranged with Ouchi masters." ”

"The emperor is in love."

"It's safe here, then." Mu Ying sighed, Wei Ruyi only shook his head: "It's easy to hide from an open gun, so I'm afraid that someone will do it secretly." "The courtyard is King Rong's person, and now Wukang's mind has been shaken, and he is the best object for King Rong to use, so she still has to go and knock.

Because Wukang Wuhui came down from the temple, his status here is particularly different, and he has a separate room, which is in the back room of the old lady's courtyard.

When Wei Ruyi came, Wukang was looking at a pile of shiny jewelry in front of her, Wuhui only avoided her and hid far away, and when she saw Wei Ruyi coming, she immediately ran over: "Miss Wei, why are you here?" Oh no, it's supposed to be Princess Shizuwa. ”

"I made some desserts, and I'd like you to try them too." After she finished speaking, Mu Ying brought the things, Wu Hui's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly took the question, and was pleasantly surprised when she tasted it: "I never thought of eating ice before, and it is so delicious." ”

Wei Ruyi smiled lightly and asked her, "What about Master Wukang?" ”

"Yo, Miss Wei is here." Wukang walked out, with a thin layer of grease powder on his face, and unwiped rouge on his lips.

Wei Ruyi saw it in his eyes, and said without changing his face: "Come and send some food." ”

Wu Hui hurriedly greeted her: "It's delicious." ”

When Wukang looked at her like this, he was full of disdain, poor and sour, if his jewelry was exchanged for silver, such cheap things would be as much as they wanted.

She smiled perfunctorily, twisted the orchid and put her finger to her ear, which had no hair at all, before she smiled: "Lord Yuanzheng said, the hotter the day, the more you can't eat such cold food, it hurts your spleen and stomach, and you can't raise it that year." Miss Wei was kind, and the poor nun understood it. ”

Mu Ying looked at her incomprehensible appearance, and her eyebrows raised slightly.

Wei Ruyi also followed: "Lord Yuanzheng is really careful, and he will explain these things to the teachers." ”

"That's natural, the people in the hospital are highly skilled, and the people below are also very easy-going." Wukang said, after speaking, he glanced at Wei Ruyi vigilantly, and found that she had not changed much, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Wuhui with a smile: "The hour is almost up, you go and serve the old lady, I will go to serve inside." ”

Wuhui was dissatisfied with her instructing herself: "You are going, why did you instruct me?" ”

"Master Yuan Zheng said, the medicine will be served by you, my hands are tender and easy to burn. And the concubine's things, you can't ask those ignorant mothers-in-law to get them. As Wu Kang spoke, the sense of superiority came out again, and Wei Ruyi also heard that something was wrong.

The skin and flesh are tender, and a big man in the courtyard will say this to a woman he doesn't know? I'm afraid there is something else.

"I'll go get some medicine."

"But the concubine said......" Wukang hurriedly spoke, Wei Ruyi said: "The concubine wants to be punished, let her punish me." By the way, Mrs. Wuhui, can you please go and talk to Miss Chen, so that she doesn't have to wait for me. ”

Wuhui was naturally willing to listen to Wei Ruyi's call, and secretly glared at Wukang, before hurriedly putting down the food.

When she left, Wei Ruyi only smiled politely at Wukang before leaving.

After walking around the corner, Wei Ruyi said to Mu Ying: "Go and inquire." ”

"The slave understands." Mu Ying looked back and quietly, and saw that Wukang was staring at them leaving, so he turned his head in the other direction knowingly.

Wei Ruyi went to get the medicine and entered the old lady's room.

When the old lady saw her coming, she wanted to stop her, but when she booed, she smiled helplessly and shook her head, and let her in. But just when I came in, I heard what the old lady was talking to Lou Yan.

"I'm old, I can't do anything, I stayed with you, at first to relieve boredom, but now I can't give up."

"Ruyi is a good boy, and you are also a good boy, but although I don't know what you are doing, I can guess some ......" She paused before saying: "Xiao Yan, promise me, no matter what, the emperor's children, will you leave them alive?" ”

Wei Ruyi's hand tightened slightly, did the old lady know that it was King Rong who calculated her? Still, will she spare their lives?
