Mei Ruo felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. You must know that although female officials are also serving people, they are different from ordinary palace maids. These are kinds of jobs that you would never do in normal times. They even have to bring tea and water to them.

Li didn't give her a good face. Still talking so heavily. How can she be comfortable?

Even Gu Wanyin knew her identity, but she actually helped the Li family.

Just when she was unhappy in her heart, she saw Gu Wanyin give her a look.

Immediately, seeing that Gu Wanyin didn't know what to say to the Li family, the two separated, Gu Wanyin walked over and took the teacup with a smile: "I'm sorry for you." It's just that if you don't do this, I'm afraid that people will be suspicious. ”

Mei Ruo suddenly stopped complaining. Even if you feel wronged, you can only endure it.

Gu Wanyin took Mei Ruo's change in demeanor in her eyes, and sneered in her heart at the moment - Hmph, since you are willing to be a girl, let you be a girl today.

Fang was taken aback by Mei Ruo's coldness, she was naturally shocked and annoyed in her heart, and her previous impression of Mei Ruo changed from acceptable to disgust.

Mei Ruo was ordered by others to follow her out, and she had no other opinions. After all, that's where the duty lies. Mei Ruoruo was open-minded and always followed her, and she had no complaints. It's just that Mei Ruo is such a villain. Quietly followed, intending to eavesdrop. How can you make her happy?

Although Mei Ruo's identity is not too difficult, don't forget that Mei Ruo's current identity is a girl next to her Gu Wanyin. Since she is a girl, she has to do what she has to do.

"The slave understands." To say that this Mei Ruo is also smart, after figuring it out, he immediately changed his name, and his attitude became humble.

Gu Wanyin smiled slightly: "You can understand the best." A while. I'm afraid you're going to be no different from an ordinary girl. When the time comes, there will be no one who will let you do things, so you can be patient for my sake. ”

Even though Mei Ruo was reluctant in her heart, at this moment, she could only nod softly: "Yes." ”

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Gu Wanyin smiled and gave Mei Ruo a reassurance. Only, is this true...... But it's time to bring some moisture.

After speaking, Gu Wanyin took Mei Ruo into the inner room.

Li Shi was talking to Old Madam Gu about the guests who would come later. As he was talking, he heard a girl outside: "Mrs. Wednesday is here!" ”

So Old Madam Gu hurriedly beckoned everyone to go to the flower hall. Fortunately, there are not many steps. All at once. And Old Madam Gu seemed to be a little puzzled-"What." You don't go out together, and the soldiers are divided into two ways? Old Madam Gu's words were a little joking, obviously just funny.

Gu Wanyin smiled bitterly - they didn't live in one place, how could they go out together?

It's just that I think so in my heart. She smiled naturally and explained, "I'm thinking I'm going to come over first to see if there's anything I need help with." I didn't go out with my third aunt. ”

Old Madam Gu nodded when she heard this, but her tone was disgusted: "What is there to help?" It's just a continuation, and there's nothing to do. ”

Gu Wanyin smiled, but didn't say much.

As everyone knows. At this time, Mei Ruo next to her breathed a sigh of relief. Just in the square. She was afraid that Gu Wanyin would not handle it properly, but it would arouse suspicion. Fortunately, there is only no danger.

It's just that Mei Ruo just breathed a sigh of relief, and before she had time to relax completely, she saw Mrs. Wednesday walking in with a smile on her face under the guidance of the girl. When he landed, his heart before he had time to fall almost jumped to his throat.

Gu Wanyin was also taken aback, but fortunately, she was also prepared, and she greeted her with a smile, just to cover the consternation on the face of the third lady when she saw her, and did not let Mrs. Gu and others see it. said with a smile: "The third aunt is here." I'm still afraid that the third aunt will be angry with me, so I won't come! I'm here to apologize. Even though I was anxious to come back and help. But I should have waited for the third aunt to go out together. ”

The third wife was originally a person who looked like a human spirit, and at this time, she saw Gu Wanyin squeezing her eyebrows and glancing at her, and then thought that Gu Wanyin should be in the palace at this time. He was busy responding to the peace, pretending to be angry: "What? Do you know it's wrong? See if I don't clean you up when I go back! He said. A half-truth pinched her face.

But there are no flaws.

It's just that the third wife is wondering in her heart, is she going to find an opportunity to ask later? Thinking like this, the third wife pressed her doubts to the bottom of her heart.

Gu Wanyin breathed a sigh of relief and stepped out of the way, so that the third lady could go to Old Madam Gu and the Li family.

The third lady walked over calmly and said a lot of auspicious words to the two with a smile. made the two of them smile, and then turned to look at Gu Wanyin: "Wanyin, will you go out for a walk with me?" ”

Walking means going to the thatched house, and Mrs. Gu is busy letting Gu Wanyin take it.

But the Li family, knowing that he was afraid that the third wife was also confused, deliberately looked for an opportunity to ask! So it's very supportive at the moment. Just seeing that Mei Ruo also raised his feet to follow, Li couldn't help but hesitate, and then said loudly: "Eh, that girl, you don't have to follow, seeing that the guests have arrived, you can help pour tea and arrange to sit down." ”

When Mei Ruo heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Shi with some unhappiness. I complained a few words in my heart. Mei Ruo naturally didn't dare to disobey the order, otherwise wouldn't it make people suspicious? When the time comes, if he is a goof, he can't afford it. So at the moment, although Mei Ruo was reluctant, she could only do what she was told.

It was Gu Wanyin, but she suddenly said with a smile: "I'm a clumsy girl, how can I do such a job?" I'm afraid of snubbing the guests. The eldest aunt should let the other girls go. Mero, you come with me. After saying that, he didn't wait long, but he went out with the third wife and went to a secluded place on the side.

Not to mention the surprise on Li's face, even Mei Ruo herself is the same. - No one thought that Gu Wanyin would take the initiative to let her follow! Isn't that a chance for her?

However, Mei Ruo only had a slight suspicion, and then attributed the reason to Gu Wanyin's embarrassment to letting her really be called around, and then happily followed.

As soon as the third wife stood still, she saw that there was no one else, so she couldn't wait to ask: "What's going on?" Shouldn't you be—" The third lady didn't finish the next sentence, probably because she didn't want to say that sensitive and evasive place;

Gu Wanyin saw that Mei Ruo had already followed, so she smiled slightly: "The Holy Lord and the noble concubine are kind and generous, knowing that today is a happy event for the Gu family, they will allow me to go out of the palace." ”

"Then you are all right in the palace?" The third lady nodded, and then asked again. "By the way, does he have any news?"

"I'm fine with the old lady." Gu Wanyin replied with a light smile, without the slightest reluctance: "The noble concubine is extremely thoughtful, and it is no different from being at home. Instead, I enjoyed it a little more. It's making people linger more and more. ”

"As for the prince-" Gu Wanyin said, but without a trace, she turned her head to look at Mei Ruo, who was following behind and had been eavesdropping, and sighed softly, her face also showed a little sadness: "Where do I have news?" I originally wanted to ask the third aunt if there was any news. ”

Gu Wanyin was really worried. And that's true, isn't it? She had already thought about it, but if she was secretive, it would make Mei Ruo wonder. It's better to just say it directly, but people can't find fault with it. After all, if this is the case, she is really strange if she is not worried about Zhou Ruijing.

Seeing this, the third lady was also a little puzzled on her face. Just looking at Gu Wanyin, who was already very worried, she reluctantly showed a smile: "You don't have to worry too much, you can always come back safely in the next life." It's a good day for your father, so don't be sad. It's not good to let people see. ”

Gu Wanyin also smiled forcefully, although her sorrow did not subside, she was not as gloomy as Fang Cai: "Well, the prince will definitely return safe and sound." When the time comes, the rumors outside will naturally be self-defeating. Our Zhou family line is doing the right thing, and there is no need to be afraid of anything. ”

The third lady nodded.

Gu Wanyin asked rhetorically: "How are you doing at home recently?" Is the second aunt's illness cured? ”

"There's nothing going on at home." The third lady smiled: "Although I don't have any strengths, it's okay to preside over the overall situation." There will be nothing wrong with the horizontal and vertical lines. It's just that lately I haven't allowed people to move around at will, let alone go out at will. I'm afraid that they will hear some rumors outside, and they will chew their tongues instead! As for your second aunt, it's still like that. I hired a few doctors, but it didn't work. But fortunately, it's not serious, and after a long time, it's naturally fine. ”

In a few words, he made the recent situation of the Zhou family clear and understood.

"I'm afraid that the old lady and I will have to live in the palace for a while, and during this time, it will be really hard for the third aunt." Gu Wanyin nodded, and then said with a smile again, which can be regarded as vaguely informing the third wife of the next move.

The third lady naturally had nothing else to say, and smiled happily at the moment: "What is this?" Is it worth asking for this? You just have to rest assured. I will take care of your house. ”

"Then you're welcome." Gu Wanyin covered her lips and smiled, and then pointed generously at Mei Ruo behind her: "Third aunt, this is Mei Ruo, the female official in the palace." I'm afraid that there will be no one around me to serve me today, so Tete came along. She also takes care of my daily life on weekdays. ”

The third wife was originally a human spirit, and when she heard her say this at this time, she took Mei Ruo's hand with a smile on her face, and looked up and down for a while: "It is said that all the female officials in the palace have excellent appearance and conduct, and I can be regarded as knowledgeable today." Not to mention, this all-round bearing is really different from that of ordinary maids. It is worthy of serving the saints and the ladies. After smiling, he pushed a jade bracelet in his hand down his wrist and put it on for Mei Ruo, and said gratefully: "We, Wanyin and the old lady, have bothered you to take care of it." A little meaning, not a respect.;
