Chapter 387: A Sudden Change
Xu Sanlang didn't speak, just hugged Cheng Xi and listened to her quietly.
"You said before, we have been completely pulled into this whirlpool, we must not be left alone, since this is the case, no matter what the intentions of the people of Rui Wangfu are, whether it is sincere or used, we have no way to clear up the relationship with them, but my willfulness is likely to give people with a heart a chance, and I have offended the people of Rui Wangfu, and the gains outweigh the losses."
Xu Sanlang patted Cheng Xi's back and comforted him softly, "Don't worry, with me, besides, King Rui and Ge Shu are not so stupid, they will easily listen to such provocations." ”
Cheng Xi pursed his mouth and arched in Xu Sanlang's arms, "Even if you don't believe it now, you may not believe it in the future, if you really have such a thought, not only will this Rui Wangfu not be our backer at that time, I'm afraid we will become a thorn in their side." ”
Xu Saburo replied softly, "You think too much, as long as I don't have this mind, when everything settles, let's go back to our own Lihua Village and stay safely, and we will definitely be able to live our lives safely." ”
Cheng Xi said a little uncertainly, "Really?" ”
Xu Sanlang stroked Cheng Xi's back and replied, "Of course it's true, I'm neither greedy for power nor greed, do they want to do anything to me?" Now that our Zhou family is already a withered family, King Rui is just two sons, he won't do anything to us, don't worry. ”
Cheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and responded, "That's good, I still want to admit my mistake to Princess Rui and improve the relationship, so as not to really believe in the provocation of others when I get it, and feel that we want to get up and want to take the position of Ge Shu's son." ”
Xu Saburo chuckled and said, "I have neither military power nor power in my hands, how can I take the position of the son of the world?" When the dust settles and we leave, King Rui and Ge Shu are stupid to believe that I want to take the throne!"
Listening to Xu Sanlang's analysis for himself, Cheng Xi was a little relieved, "Okay, it's me who thinks too much." ”
Xu Sanlang hugged Cheng Xi's hand tightly, and spoke again, "Okay, don't think nonsense, I will discuss this matter with Ruiwang Geshu, don't worry about it." ”
Cheng Xi nodded, and then said with some unease, "You tell Ge Shu alone, let her explain to Yu'er well, don't quarrel." ”
Xu Saburo said with a smile, "You're still worried that they are quarreling." ”
Cheng Xi pursed her lips and responded, "Do you think I want to, she quarreled with Yu'er about this, and Yu'er still has to hate us?" When the time comes, he really hates us and wants to deal with us, doesn't we lose more than we gain? ”
Xu Sanlang lowered his head and bit Cheng Xi's nose, and said with a smile, "You think far ahead." ”
Cheng Xi buried his face in Xu Sanlang's chest in disgust, wiped his nose vigorously on Xu Sanlang's underwear, and said in disgust, "Saliva is dirty." ”
Xu Saburo chuckled, raised his hand to extinguish the oil lamp on the candlestick at the head of the bed with the palm wind, and said, "It's not too early, go to sleep." ”
Cheng Xi said "um" softly, and then found a comfortable position in Xu Sanlang's arms, and then obediently closed his eyes and slept.
In the next few days, Cheng Xi deliberately asked Aunt Qin to pay attention to whether there were still rumors among the subordinates about competing for the position of the prince, but the result made Cheng Xi quite satisfied, no one dared to mention this topic again, only several subordinates of the Rui Wangfu disappeared in the past few days.
Since Cheng Xi refused to go to the main hall to eat, he refused more, and the main hall gradually stopped sending people to shout.
This rumor has been stopped for a few days, I don't want the main hall to send someone over to ask Cheng Xi to go to the main hall for lunch, Cheng Xi thought about the powerful relationship in this, and had reflected that he was too willful before, and alienated himself from Princess Rui and Yu'er, and then heard that the main hall invited her over for dinner, Cheng Xi did not refuse, and took the hundred-year-old and the face Ruyu also went over.
When he arrived at the door of the main hall, thinking that he would have to face Princess Rui, who was different from before, and Zhao Yu, who didn't know how to treat her now, Cheng Xi took a deep breath before pulling the hundred years old and leading Ruyu to step forward and prepare to enter the house.
I didn't want Cheng Xi to finally get ready to go in and face it, so when he took a step, he was grabbed by Ruyu behind him, and whispered to Cheng Xi, "Mrs. Xu, the slave is just a subordinate, so let's not go." ”
Cheng Xi hated the way that iron could not become steel, "Look at your little interest, hasn't your son-in-law already given you the deed of sale, can you go to the place where you are registered at any time to get out of slavery?" is still a slave, you are now the person next to Prince Wen Yuan. ”
Ruyu replied with a red face, "But, but ......"
Cheng Xi glared at Ruyu, "But what is it, keep up." ”
After speaking, Cheng Xi pulled Bai Sui into the door, and Ruyu had to take a step forward and obediently followed behind Cheng Xi.
As soon as he entered the main hall, Cheng Xi was worried about how to ease the relationship with Princess Rui and Zhao Yu as much as possible, and before she could speak, Princess Rui, who was sitting at the head of the main hall, opened her mouth, and that tone and expression made Cheng Xi a little stunned.
I saw that Princess Narui was not as serious as she had been a few times before, but resumed her attitude towards Cheng Xi before the Spring Festival, and greeted Cheng Xi with a gentle smile, "Xi'er is here?" Quick, come and sit. ”
Cheng Xi was stunned for a moment, before he reacted, a smile was hurriedly put on his face, and Shi Li responded, "Xi'er has seen Princess Rui." ”
Princess Rui seemed to be very satisfied with Cheng Xi's attitude, and spoke again, "It's all my own family, don't be polite, come and sit quickly." ”
Zhao Yu actually changed his previous attitude and beckoned Cheng Xi, "Xi, sister-in-law, come and sit." ”
Cheng Xi was stunned again, nodded with a smile, and pulled the hundred-year-old over to sit down on the vacant seat, Princess Rui looked at Ruyu who was following Cheng Xi, although she was a little disdainful in her heart, but she maintained a decent smile on her face, and greeted him with a smile, "Young Master Ruyu is also here, please take a seat." ”
Ruyu was a little frightened and hurriedly gave a gift to Princess Rui, but then she stood behind Cheng Xi and didn't dare to sit down, Cheng Xi originally took Ruyu to show favor to Princess Zhao Yurui and improve the relationship, but she didn't want Princess Rui and Zhao Yu to have such an attitude, but it made her a little unsure of what to do.
Cheng Xi was still puzzled in his heart, the change between Princess Rui and Zhao Yu, but Princess Rui asked again, "During this time, I always ate over there, and I didn't come here. ”
Cheng Xi hurriedly smiled and replied, "No, it's all good." ”
Princess Rui heard Cheng Xi's response, so she opened her mouth and continued, "That's good, it's all my negligence that has wronged you these days, and I actually let people take advantage of the loopholes and make such a fuss, don't worry, those damn minions have been dealt with by me." ”
Cheng Xi was stunned when she heard this, why did Princess Rui suddenly apologize to herself in disguise? How is she wronged these days? It doesn't seem to have been wronged, right?
Could it be that Xu Saburo said something? It can only be Xu Sanlang, thinking of this, of course Cheng Xi will not dismantle Xu Sanlang's platform, quickly packed up his emotions, regained his smile without being surprised, and responded, "Princess, don't say that, Xi'er is not aggrieved." ”
Princess Rui was about to continue to speak, but she paused, and said to Ruyu who was standing on the side, "Can Prince Ruyu take the hundred-year-old out for a walk first?" ”
Of course, Ruyu understood that this was what Princess Rui wanted to talk to Cheng Xi and avoid herself, so she hurriedly responded, and then coaxed the hundred-year-old sitting next to Cheng Xi to go out with herself.
When Ruyu left with a hundred years old, Princess Rui asked all the servants in the house to go out, and called her cronies and grandmothers to guard the door.
Everything was in order, and then Zhengse said, "This time we were negligent, allowing others to take advantage of such a loophole and sow discord, especially if we were too careless, this big age actually let people take advantage of the loophole, so that you will also be wronged." ”
Although Cheng Xi didn't know what Princess Rui meant and what grievances she had suffered, she still said nonsense, "Don't be wronged." ”
Princess Rui looked at Cheng Xi and nodded with satisfaction, "It's good that you can think like this." Now is the critical moment, their fathers are busy outside, and the women in our back house should also unite as one, but we can't let them worry about the outside things, but also worry about the things in our back house, if there is anything in the future, don't hide it in your heart, just say it, you can't let people take advantage of the loopholes and provoke the relationship between us. ”
Zhao Yu opened his mouth and responded, "Mother, Yu'er has written it down, this time it's Yu'er's fault, Xi'er, I'm sorry for the previous incident, you won't blame me, right?" ”
Cheng Xi smiled inexplicably and replied, "No, no, how could it be." ”
Zhao Yu replied with a smile, "I won't be friendly, I'm worried that you will blame me." ”
Princess Rui looked at the two of them and said with a satisfied smile, "It's just like this, okay, it's not too early, I'll let people arrange the meal and prepare for lunch." ”
After that, Ruyu and Baisui were called in again, and everyone had lunch happily together, and it seemed that they had recovered their original appearance.
Ruyu is no longer a slave because she is now the person next to Prince Wenyuan, Princess Rui has long heard the explanation of King Rui, and she treats Ruyu very politely, and warmly beckons him to eat with him.
When they returned to their own small courtyard after lunch, Ruyu pouted and said, "Mrs. Xu, don't call me for this kind of thing in the future." ”
Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "We, Princess Rui has entertained you so warmly, are you still not satisfied?" ”
Ruyu couldn't help but tremble, and said, "The minions are still comfortable eating with the guards." ”
At this time, Aunt Qin came in from outside, and when she saw Cheng Xi, she walked over to Cheng Xi's side quickly, and whispered to Cheng Xi, "Madam, a maid and a little maid who are serving in our courtyard have not come back since they were called away by the chief manager of the palace today. ”
