Chapter 52: My Heart Pleases You
"Although Miss and I haven't known each other as long as the two of you, I have to say that after getting along for a while, I can also see that Miss is an excellent person."
Qingtang took the wooden box in the imperial dining room, and saw that each of them was busy with their own affairs, and did not bother to pay attention to the two of them, so he simply said while walking.
Since she became Bai Wanrou's girl, she has been taken care of by her, and her treatment in the house is obviously much better than before, and the most important thing is that she has never felt the fear and panic of other subordinates.
At this time, Luzhu was still reminiscing about that strange look, and was wondering in his heart, when he suddenly heard such a sentence, he couldn't react to what she meant for a while.
"Huh? What are you talking about? Luzhu subconsciously blurted out.
Qingtang frowned and glanced at her, as if wondering how she could ask such a question, and replied with some amusement: "Of course it's the princess." ”
After thinking about it for a moment, Lu Zhu realized that she was talking about the topic she had just discussed.
"I've known Miss for a long time, I've been her maid since I was a child, she's really a very good and gentle person, if I don't like the prince......"
She didn't continue to say the next words, but the meaning of the omission was very clear in their hearts.
It's a pity that none of them noticed, just as the figures of the two were drifting away, the eyes of the person handing the wooden box flickered for a moment, listening to their words, a complex emotion appeared in his eyes - some like guilt.
Because Luzhu's intuition is right, she was bought by someone and used to frame the prince.
Not long before they came, Xiao Tao called her out, saying only that she would replace the princess's meal with some pastries, and asked her not to tell her about it.
has been in the palace for so long, and is in charge of such an important position as the imperial diet, almost all of them are human spirits, just listening to such a few words, you can know that Xiao Tao is not good.
But even so, she finally agreed, for no other reason, but because the 'reward' given by Xiao Tao was too generous.
You must know that if there is no reward from the little lord on weekdays, the silver is almost more than she has been in a few months.
So even though she felt a little guilty about the princess in her heart, she still succumbed to the temptation of money.
At this time, I heard the princess's personal maid sigh that the princess was good, and her heart was as entangled as if there were ants gnawing at her.
"Hey, what are you doing at the door? I warn you, don't think about being lazy, otherwise you will be deducted directly from your monthly routine for this month. ”
The mother-in-law in charge of the imperial dining room is very strict, especially not used to some young and beautiful people here, she is one of the representatives.
"Don't, mother-in-law, I just sent the princess's meal to the girls, I'll go to work, I'll go."
The feeling of the deduction of the monthly expenses earned by her hard work made her remember it vividly, and she touched the heavy silver hidden in her waist, and the only trace of sobriety in her heart disappeared completely, and she completely depraved after that.
"Miss, I've brought you lunch, and there are some pastries you like at the bottom, just like before."
Qingtang put the wooden box on the table, looking at Bai Wanrou's engrossed appearance of being a female celebrity, a slight ripple appeared in her heart, and she strengthened her determination to learn.
"Okay, put it there, I'll be done in a moment." Bai Wanrou bent over for too long, only to feel some soreness and pain in her waist, and couldn't help but move her body.
However, for some reason, the moment she lifted her body, her eyelids jumped, as if something bad was about to happen.
She raised her hand to touch her eyes, and after thinking about it, she still couldn't find the root cause, so she had to choose to give up and continue to do the work at hand.
"Miss, is it my delusion? How do I feel that today's Imperial Dining Room is better than before, do you feel it? ”
Lu Zhu picked up another chopstick dish and put it in the bowl, and when she ate, she was the most gentle of the three.
Because no matter how good Bai Wanrou was to them, and how long they had known each other, Luzhu still had a strong sense of master and servant in his heart.
It was already a great gift to be able to allow them to eat at the table, so why was she embarrassed to eat meat as much as she used to?
Even Qingtang, who has never cared about these details, can clearly see that she is restrained when sharing meals with Bai Wanrou every day.
Today is the only time that the two of them have made an exception, not only did they eat a lot, but they did not deliberately speed up, but they ate normally like three sisters.
Bai Wanrou nodded, she was not very picky about meals, but she rarely came across what she liked very much, this time it was already quite good, "Eat more if it's delicious, don't forget that you will be squeezed by me at that time." ”
Hearing this, Luzhu and Qingtang both stopped their movements, and didn't react to what she meant for a while, looking at her with puzzled faces.
"It's just making jewelry, forgot? When the time comes, we will have to go and check the finished things to Guiyun Pavilion, so don't think about repaying the bills. Bai Wanrou swallowed the food in her mouth and said softly.
"So that's it, Miss, you just relax your heart, we promise to complete the task!" Qingtang raised three fingers and made an oath next to his little face.
Lu Zhu put down the chopsticks in his hand, reached out and poked Qingtang's waist socket, the force was very small, almost softer than a feather, but it itched the latter, "You better learn to talk big first, now you are alone." ”
Full of enthusiasm was ruthlessly hit, Qingtang pursed his lips dissatisfied, and even the good mood of eating the food was consumed, and his complaining eyes seemed to be full of words: Can't you save me some face?
"You two living treasures, don't play, since you've already had lunch, let's get to work."
Bai Wanrou rubbed her temples, in fact, she didn't have a good night's rest last night, and she originally planned to make up for a nap in the middle of the day.
But seeing that the two of them were so interested, she was embarrassed to let others do things and rest by herself, so she had to pretend to continue the movements of her hands senselessly.
The scorching sun is high in the sky, and this is the best time of the day, with neither the sun nor the cold wind, and the occasional hot breeze only makes people feel refreshed.
Chen Ruzhi came uninvited at this time.
At first, Bai Wanrou, who was only focused on herself, didn't realize that there was an extra person in the courtyard at all, and she only saw it when she relaxed her wrist and turned her head casually.
On the other side of the room, Lu Zhu and Qing Tang, who were teaching, had their backs to him, so naturally they didn't take the initiative to say hello, let alone welcome people in.
Bai Wanrou hesitated in place for a while, and finally decided to walk out of the room, stood in front of him and asked, "The prince has come to my courtyard three times and five times, but what are you doing?" ”
Such an unfamiliar and detached tone, as if they were two individuals who had nothing to do with each other, made the expectation that had quietly risen in Chen Ruzhi's heart disappear suddenly.
He tried not to keep his eyes on Bai Wanrou, and his tone was relaxed enough, "It's okay, but I have a few questions to ask you." ”
Bai Wanrou raised her eyebrows, she just said this casually, and she still wanted him to leave quickly after getting angry.
Now it's ...... Shooting yourself in the foot?
Laughing at herself shallowly, she raised her eyes to look at the tall figure in front of her, "The prince doesn't have to be so polite, if there is any problem, I know everything." ”
Chen Ruzhi nodded, probably relieved a lot when she got her assurance, but the words she said made her stunned directly:
"There's something about you saving me a few years ago, oh no, I should say it could be the one you saved me."
As an insider a few years ago, and as his current princess, Bai Wanrou certainly knew what he was talking about, otherwise she wouldn't have opened her lips but couldn't spit out a word.
“…… What, what? She stumbled and asked, her voice so small that she couldn't even hear it clearly, and she didn't know if Chen Ruzhi on the other side heard it.
"I just want to know, under what circumstances did you save me back then? Or why did you meet me that day? ”
Bai Wanrou looked around with a dodgy look in her eyes, she couldn't say why, it was obvious that she was really the one who saved Chen Ruzhi back then, but now that she mentioned it again, she just wanted to escape.
If it weren't for the fact that his gaze was too hot and indeed sincere, Bai Wanrou felt that she would not have followed his wishes so much, and unconsciously said all the words.
"A few years ago, everyone I knew knew that I liked you, so even if I met by chance on weekdays, I would definitely be fascinated."
"Not to mention...... It was like that day. ”
She exhaled, obviously feeling that the words she said didn't seem to have been thought through her own brain, but she was really seriously recalling.
"I was strolling around the street with Luzhu, and I saw a person's back that was extremely similar to you, so I thought about hurrying up to catch up, lest something happen to you."
probably felt that it was a bit embarrassing to say what was on her mind in front of the parties, Bai Wanrou secretly glanced at Chen Ruzhi's reaction with her spare eyes, and then dared to continue:
"Then I found out that you had entered a courtyard, which I had never seen before, but it was a little remote, so I panicked even more, and followed you closely."
Bai Wanrou was already secretly infatuated with Chen Ruzhi when she was very young, and she couldn't tolerate anyone else in her eyes at all, so naturally she had no experience of skin kissing.
Now that she was asked to think back to those blushing and heart-pounding pasts in front of him, she naturally blushed when she didn't know it.
Clearing her throat, Bai Wanrou decided to brush this matter aside, "That's when I found out that you were drugged, and you should remember the rest of the matter." ”
Not only did he mention it on the wedding night, but also the days when he humiliated himself when he first entered the palace, which is proof that he still has that memory.
"But, why do you have to restore Lin Feng's memory? Did he see you then? ”
Bai Wanrou raised her eyes and glanced at him, obviously feeling that this question was a bit redundant, so she just nodded, and thought for a while before adding:
"We took a look, but at that time he seemed to notice that someone was coming outside, so he hurried away to help you get someone."
