Ruan's family was busy helping Chu Lixue move, and Chu Lixue had no intention of stopping it, anyway, she was going to go deep into the tiger's den, since everyone else was so attentive, she naturally had to accept it gladly.

The carriage traveled slowly, came to the city lord's mansion, only to see the red wall surrounded by protection, green willows hanging around, three hanging flower gatehouses, and the verandah on all sides. The courtyard is connected with each other, the mountains and stones are embellished, and the half-moon door hangs the plaque of "Yi Red Fast Green". The whole courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, the garden is splendid, clear and exquisite, the backyard is full of roses, treasures, and a pool.

Looking at such a magnificent City Lord's Mansion, Chu Lixue couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, she was indeed the daughter of the richest man in Cui Cinema City, and the place where she lived could be so magnificent, which showed that the Ruan family had strong financial resources.

Ruan Shi saw the surprise on Chu Lixue's face, and immediately smiled and said, "Is Princess Chen still satisfied with this place?" ”\t

Hearing this, Chu Lixue frowned slightly, why did this Ruan ask if he was satisfied with the decoration style here? This is their home, not King Chen's Mansion, and this kind of flattery is really a bit undisciplined.

"The princess doesn't know, my father and mother knew that you were coming to Cui Cinema, so they asked people to rush to repair the mansion, in order to make the princess live more comfortably." Shen Rui's second son said with a smile.

Chu Lixue nodded slightly, and said softly: "This concubine doesn't have high requirements for the place where she lives, she just needs to be clean and comfortable." ”

Hearing Chu Lixue say this, the Ruan family was overjoyed, which means that Princess Chen likes her to arrange the mansion like this, and it would be great if the next things could go so smoothly.

But the Ruan family really thought too well, Chu Lixue didn't really like the style of the City Lord's Mansion, it was so luxurious, and said that it was specially to receive him, isn't that a disguised way to say that he is a person who covets a luxurious life?

"Who is this?" Chu Lixue looked at the pair of men and women behind Ruan's and said suspiciously. In fact, she had already guessed that it was Ruan's children, but she wanted to see how Ruan's would introduce her children.

"Oh, princess, this is my second son Shen Yi, and this is my youngest daughter Shen Qian." Nguyen proudly introduced his sons and daughters. Her pair of children are outstandingly good-looking, and they have been carefully cultivated since they were young, just thinking that one day let her children fly on the branches.

"Well, the children raised by the city lord's wife are different, and they look like the daughter of a family. It's a pity that ......" Chu Lixue wanted to speak and stopped, thinking of asking Ruan Shi to answer the stubble, and Ruan's was also very cooperative to pick up Chu Lixue's words.

"Princess, don't you think they're good enough? The concubine must teach well when she goes back. ”

"It's not bad, it's just that there is no place to show such an excellent young lady, if it is in Cloud City, the countless banquets held in the palace and various mansions every year will definitely let everyone know that Lord Shen is such an excellent son, and Prince Shen Yue also went to the palace for a feast in Cloud City." Chu Lixue said lightly. The content of these words seemed meaningless, but Chu Lixue conveyed a message to the Ruan family, that is, Shen Yue made friends with powerful people everywhere in Cloud City, and this pair of children was unknown to anyone. This undoubtedly planted a seed of resentment in the hearts of several of Nguyen's children.

Things were also as Chu Lixue thought, Shen Yi heard her say that Shen Yue went to the palace to participate in the feast in Cloud City, and he was very unhappy, they were all sons, why did he choose Shen Yue to go to Cloud City alone, in terms of physiognomy and knowledge, he was no worse than Shen Yue at all.

If he can also make friends with powerful people in Cloud City, it will definitely be easier to complete the task given to Shen Yue by his father, and this Shen Yue has been in Cloud City for a few months, and there is no reply at all, it seems that he is fascinated by the flower world of Cloud City.

Shen Rui and Ruan personally took Chu Lixue and the others to live in the Yanyu Pavilion, and after Shen Rui and Ruan left, Ning Xiang slowly spoke, "Princess, when you see that these two people have other plans, why do you want them to think that you will be on their side?" There is also that Shen Yue, who is clearly the palace that followed Zuo Xiang with a dead face, otherwise, who knows his number one. ”

Chu Lixue looked at Ning Xiang's resentful expression, hooked her lips and smiled: "I told them that Shen Yue participated in the palace banquet in Cloud City, as for how he went, they won't ask, what they want is for Shen Yue to make friends with powerful people, so that he can occupy a bigger winning side in the battle for the throne of Yue." ”

"But Princess, will they believe it?"

"Of course I won't believe it, but I suspect that Shen Yue will soon write to Shen Rui and his wife, telling them that his status in the Yue Palace's palace is different." Chu Lixue smiled lightly.

"Different status?" Ning Xiang was even more puzzled, in the past few days, the princess has always spoken like this, could it be that she met Mrs. Zuo Xiang once, and the two of them had the same heart?

In the cloud city, Yue Wangfu.

Shen Bin and Xie Yao were laughing with Lao Yue Wang in the courtyard, and they didn't know what they said, the three of them laughed, Shen Yue saw this, and walked forward quickly, "Grandpa, eldest brother, sister-in-law, what are you talking about?" It's so lively. ”

Lao Yue Wang didn't like this grandson very much, although this person was also his grandson, but after all, unlike Shen Bin, who had been raised by his side since childhood, there was not much affection between them.

Moreover, this guy is very uninteresting, every time he sees their ancestors and grandchildren having a good time, he will come over, and finally he will be satisfied when he breaks up unhappily, but a few days ago, Princess Chen asked Xie Yao to send him a message, asking him to give Shen Yue a better look and create a false impression, in this way, she can get the trust of Shen Rui and Ruan in Cui Studios, and maybe she will find out what tricks.

I heard that he was going to deal with that unfilial son, and King Lao Yue naturally agreed happily, in fact, sometimes he was also asking himself, he and his grandson Shen Bin were both dedicated people, but his son was different, his wife was newly mourned, not only did not take care of the child, but also married a newcomer three months later, ignoring him, the father and son, no wonder Shen Bin resented him.

Chu Lixue lived in Shen Rui's mansion for a few days, and Shen Qian ran to Yanyu Pavilion every day, how to say that this is Shen Rui's home, Chu Lixue can't drive out other people's daughters even if she is a princess.

But after a few days of getting along, Ruan felt that Chu Lixue still hadn't promised to help them personally, and it seemed that she needed to find a way to get Chu Lixue to agree.

However, Chu Lixue's identity is noble, and the forces behind her are not comparable to their small city lords or jade merchants, in such a situation of disparity in strength, there is only one way to make people use for her, that is, to let Chu Lixue owe her a favor, everyone knows that the debt of favor is the most difficult to repay.

On this day, the weather was exceptionally good, Chu Lixue was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, and she could hear the bustling voice outside through the wall, "Remnant Xue, what's going on outside?" Why is it so lively? ”

"Back to the princess, today is the Christmas of the Queen of Heaven, and the people are ready to go to the Tianhou Temple on the mountain to pray for incense, are those voices outside arguing for you to rest?"

"The Queen's Christmas?" Chu Lixue was puzzled, she had never heard that the people of Beichen Kingdom believed in the Queen of Heaven, and those noble ladies and daughters of the family in Yuncheng all worshiped the Buddha and Guanyin, as for this Queen of Heaven, it seemed that she was a god believed in by the Dongyu Nation.

Just thinking about it, the familiar voice sounded outside the door, Ruan Shi walked in with a smile on his face, and saw Chu Lixue sitting in the courtyard, so he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Princess, today is the Christmas of the Queen of Heaven, and it is lively outside, you must not have seen it in Cloud City, otherwise the concubine will accompany you to take a look." ”

Hearing this, Chu Lixue happily agreed, she was also very similar to see why Christmas would attract so many people this day after Christmas, maybe it was the intelligence agency set up here by other countries.

Ruan didn't expect Chu Lixue to agree so readily, and then happily ordered the maids around him to prepare the carriage and horses. Because she was going to the Tianhou Temple to enter the incense, Chu Lixue deliberately changed into a pale green Pingluo dress, with no flower pattern on it, only a few half-opened oleanders embroidered with red silk thread on the cuffs, milky white silk girdle, a small fragrance bag, and the hairstyle was also combed refreshingly and concisely, the bangs were scattered neatly at will, and then two broken beaded hairpins were inserted, which was simple and elegant.

When Chu Lixue and Ruan Shi walked to the gate, Shen Qian was already standing on the side of the carriage waiting, and seeing her in a pale pink dress, she was also very decent and generous.

"The people's daughter sees the princess." Shen Qian saluted respectfully.

Seeing this, Chu Lixue was slightly stunned, this Shen Qian was not like this before, when she first lived in the Yanyu Pavilion, this eldest lady of the Shen family ran to her all day long, pestering her to talk about the people and things in Cloud City. Today is so respectful and polite, but it makes Chu Lixue a little uncomfortable.

"Miss Shen doesn't have to be polite, you are from Cui Studios, you are very familiar with this place, this concubine is new to the city, and I don't know many things, and I still need Miss Shen to explain more to this concubine." Chu Lixue smiled lightly.

Chu Lixue's smile was like a spring breeze, which made Ruan and Shen Qian slightly stunned when they saw it, they didn't expect that Princess Chen usually didn't like to laugh much, and she looked so good when she smiled.

You can hear the sound of horse-drawn carriages and the sound of people frolicking all the way, so I think it will be very lively today. Chu Lixue took Ning Xiang to sit in the carriage with Ruan Shi and Shen Qian, while Rean Xue and Wan Yue rode with them.

"I really can't imagine that the maidservant next to the princess can ride a horse." Nguyen asked.

"Yes, these two girls often have to help the concubine to deliver medicinal food to the guests, and the city lord's wife also knows, the people who live in Cloud City are all dignitaries, and sometimes they are too busy, so they have to send several at a time, if they only rely on two legs, I am afraid that they will not be able to finish it when it gets dark, so I asked the guards in the house to teach the two girls to ride horses, but I didn't expect that the two of them are talented, and they will soon be able to ride horses freely." Chu Lixue said lightly.

Chu Lixue saw the surprise in Ruan's eyes just now, if she covered it up, it would make Ruan even more suspicious, it was better to say that she had let them teach them to ride horses. And who in Beichen doesn't know that Princess Chen has a lot of business in Cloud City.

When the carriage reached the foot of the mountain, she heard a commotion in front, and it seemed that these carriages were lined up at the foot of the mountain.
