The next day, Ruan Yuyi sat in front of the bronze mirror, and Mu Xiang groomed her, and after the hairpin rings were brought one by one, she always felt that there were shortcomings.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Xiang took the rouge and lit a small vermilion mole under her eyes. The small mole landed at the end of her eyes, making her eyes shine brighter and brighter.

At this time, Li's mother pushed the door in, said hello, and said that Cheng Zhu invited her over for breakfast.

Ruan Yuyi nodded lightly and responded.

"Put on the earrings, and they will match the garments of today." She was wearing a soft silver lily skirt today, and the neckline was exposed with a snow-white patch, but her ears seemed to be empty.

"Yes." Mu Xiang saw that the young lady's ears were almost better, so she opened the drawer and wanted to take out the pair of Dongzhu earrings.

But there was only a wrinkled and scattered handkerchief inside, where did the earrings come from.

Both of them were stunned.

Ruan Yuyi suddenly remembered the strange touch of stepping on a bead under her feet when she got out of bed, and her heart tightened, and she got up to check.

"Miss, this ......" Mu Xiang saw her bend down and leaned up.

Sure enough, I found a white bead, which was pierced with a hole, which was one of the four eastern beads strung on the earrings.

Mu Xiang hurriedly looked around for the remaining ones. The beads fell apart, some by the wall, some under the table, and it took a lot of effort.

Ruan Yuyi held the found Dongzhu and gold silk in the palm of her hand, pursed her lips and said nothing.

The incision at the broken gold wire is smooth, and I know that someone did it deliberately. She had a vague guess in her heart, but because of her identity, she couldn't question that person head-on.

However, the last thing that matters at the moment is that such a valuable earring is broken, and if Shizi asks, what should she do. With the value of these earrings, I'm afraid I can't afford to pay her back if I sell her by herself.

Mu Xiang said on the side, "Miss, this pair of earrings is from Linglong Pavilion, maybe you can repair it when you take it back there." ”

"I'll ask for a few days, there's no other way."

She put away the broken earrings and planned to go to Cheng Zhu's side first.

As soon as I came out, I heard the birds chirping clearly, and they sounded in this courtyard one after another, as if the wind blowing in them also brought a deeper coolness.

Mu Xiang was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she turned back and took a goose yellow shawl for her to put on.

When she returned to Cheng Zhu's house, Cheng Xingqiu and the others had already sat down, but they didn't see Zhaorong.

Ruan Yuyi gave a slight salute and found a position. As soon as I sat down, I heard Cheng Zhu say, "Sister Yi, who did you see when you were looking for Rui'er yesterday?" ”

When asked like this, the first thing she thought of was the confrontation between Shizi and Cheng Xingqiu yesterday. She narrowed her eyes slightly, pretending to be calm, "Who is my aunt talking about?" ”

Cheng Zhu simply said, "This morning, the concubine, the biological mother of King Yu, sent a box of pastries, saying that it was for you and Rui'er. The concubine ...... her When did you meet? ”

It wasn't what she was worried about.

When she heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and explained lightly, "Yesterday, the second cousin ran to the concubine's courtyard, and we couldn't find him." ”

Regarding the concubine's joy to Cheng Rui, she had heard it from Wen Pheasant, but she didn't expect the concubine to send pastries, let alone that the concubine still remembered her.

Cheng Zhu then asked, "Why did the concubine send pastries?" Seeing the greed in her eyes, Ruan Yuyi roughly understood what she really wanted to ask.

So he asked rhetorically, "Doesn't my aunt ask why my second cousin went over there?" ”

Cheng Zhu didn't know why, frowned slightly, knowing that she had something to say, so he followed her words and asked.

Cheng Xingqiu, who was on the side, remembered that he and Zhaorong had coaxed Cheng Rui, and his heart was weak, so he used the excuse of pretending to have some breakfast for Zhaorong, got up and left his seat.

After careful calculation, this matter was indeed ill-conceived, even if he didn't want to stay with Cheng Rui by his side, how could he coax him to go outside the courtyard. He was also a little confused at the time, but he didn't stop it.

Hearing that Cheng Xingqiu was going to give food to the eldest princess, Cheng Zhu hurriedly instructed Li's mother to bring a food box, filled people with some noodles and a bowl of millet porridge, and even brought some flattery between words.

Cheng Xingqiu was indifferent, took the food box and left. As long as he is free the next day, Zhaorong has always gotten up until three poles on the sun, and he is probably still asleep at this time.

But after he left, Ruan Yuyi continued, "Although the eldest princess is unintentional, she should think of the size of the Holy River Temple, and it is very easy for the second cousin to not come back." ”

"It's still about the princess at this time?" Cheng Zhushi heard that something was wrong, "What do you mean ......?"

She didn't say any more, after all, it was a princess, even if it was really her fault, she was an ordinary lady, what could she do? Even if something happened to Cheng Rui, she could only grit her silver teeth and swallow blood.

"In the future, it's better for my aunt to ask more people to follow her second cousin." Ruan Yuyi took the millet porridge scooped by Muxiang and stirred it casually with the spoon.

When Cheng Xingqiu also came back and finished breakfast, Cheng Zhu asked everyone to go down to make some preparations, saying that the concubine helped to watch Rui'er, and sent pastries.

Especially Cheng Rui and Ruan Yuyi, they should go.

She told Mother Li to inform the princess, but Mother Li came back and said that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess said that she was unwell and would not go this time. The eldest prince said that he wanted to stay here to take care of the princess, and he didn't go.

Hearing this, Cheng Zhu's face sank, His Royal Highness couldn't say it, Qiu'er has always known etiquette, how can she be so nonsense.

She knew that Cheng Xingqiu had always been self-defeating, and in his eyes, such a flattering act was naturally unwilling to do it.

And Zhaorong, she is not in good health.

She always knew that the concubine took the prince of Yu Wang to eat the Buddha here, but when the emperor was still alive, this concubine was very different from her mother.

Ruan Yuyi also wanted to shirk it, but suddenly realized that the prince also had the possibility of being with the concubine, so she didn't say anything more and followed.

With memory, several people walked to the concubine's residence. Cheng Zhu straightened his appearance up and down, then grabbed the knocker, knocked it, and when the sound was stable, he knocked three times in a row.

Then she lowered the knocker and took a half-step back.

The door was opened, and a servant leaned out and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Cheng Zhu's chin said, "I am the wife of the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, and yesterday the second son was lost and was taken care of by the concubine Niangniang, so I brought the junior to thank me, and I ask the girl to help inform me." ”

"Okay, just wait." The servant glanced at them and slammed the door shut.

It didn't take long for the door to open and welcome a few people in, "The concubine and Princess Yu are in the side hall, and the slave and maid will lead you over." Her expression and tone were obviously much more deferential.

I wanted to come here to try my luck and see if the prince was also here, but I didn't expect Princess Yu to be here. Ruan Yuyi consciously walked with Cheng Zhu in one step.
