The next day, Ruan Yuyi woke up early because she had slept well yesterday afternoon. Mu Xiang groomed her and went to Cheng Zhu's place to ask for peace.

The hibiscus beside the road was almost withered, only one or two were left, and they were still lying on the branches in the cold wind. The branches stretched out stiffly, like lines drawn from dry ink, withered and tightened.

When she passed, she didn't stop, but glanced sideways hurriedly, not paying much attention. Hibiscus has a long flowering period, and in the late spring of the next year, there will be the next stubble.

After entering Cheng Zhu's courtyard, he found that in addition to Zhaorong, the other two aunts were also there. The one who was wearing a bright dress and a ruddy face was Aunt Mei, she looked much younger than Cheng Zhu, but in fact, Aunt Mei was only four years younger than Cheng Zhu.

is clearly almost the same age, Aunt Mei is better because of her bones, she can hang her skin and flesh, and she still looks charming. Coupled with her gentle temperament, it is not difficult to understand why Master Cheng is more pleased with this gentle township.

Ruan Yuyi visited them one by one and sat down.

lifted his eyelids slightly, but saw that Cheng Zhu's face was gloomy, and he pursed his lips without saying a word. After Cheng Zhu told Master Cheng about Cheng Xingqiu's favorite eldest princess yesterday, he didn't want him to be angry, so he picked up the cup and threw it at her feet.

He said, Xingqiu already has a wife, how to remarry? You're such a fool!

She secretly said in her heart that it was he who didn't know how to be flexible that he lived in a position all the year round and never been promoted. I think like this, but I don't show it on my face.

Cheng Zhu carefully dissected the pros and cons to him, and when he mentioned the second son's family, the anger on his face froze, and he couldn't refute the words next to him. She knew that Master Cheng took pity on Sister Yi's daughter-in-law, but as for which son's wife she was, she didn't care much.

In the final analysis, it's just that she cares about her feelings, and she can't pull her face to arrange Sister Yi'er for the rest of her life, even so, she will sing this white face.

Cheng Zhu thought about it, and glanced at Aunt Mei at the first place, with disdain in his eyes. Although Qiu'er's matter is clear, but he has been thinking about this cheap embryo in his heart, this is a rare trip home, and he stays in her house again at night, which is really tempting.

Aunt Mei seemed to notice her gaze, and she didn't avoid it, and went straight up, "Madame, but she is unwell?" It doesn't look good. But I don't know if I have the intention to respond to people.

The two of them have never dealt with each other, this Ruan Yuyi knows, but she came late, but she didn't know that Aunt Mei was the lady who was just a little bit away back then. She was intercepted by Cheng Zhu's halfway, how could she not complain.

Zhao Rong had a big heart, he really thought that Cheng Zhu was sick, and he also cared, "It's good to ask the house doctor to take a look later." She picked up the snack and put it in her mouth.

Cheng Zhu choked, breathed a sigh of relief, and reluctantly said, "Thank you princess for worrying." ”

Genuine dim sum, Zhao Rong frowned suddenly, took out the handkerchief, and carefully spit out the contents of his mouth, "The craftsmanship of the dining room here really takes a lot of effort, and it can't compare to the chef in this palace." "This snack seems to have been put on the sugar too much, and the mouth is melting, and the mouth is full of sweetness.

"It's incomparable," Seeing this, Cheng Zhushi also tasted a little, although the pastry was a little dry, but the sweet food has always been this sweetness, who can't make it the same?

But she couldn't go against the eldest princess, so she was fierce and ordered, "If the dining room is negligent today, half a month's money will be deducted as a punishment." The servant on one side bowed his head.

"Speaking of which," Zhaorong looked in the direction of Ruan Yuyi and said leisurely, "The skills of this maid next to my sister seem to be good, this palace has a picky mouth, and my sister will give people to this palace if she doesn't." ”

She paved the way for a while, originally to lead the conversation here. How could Ruan Yuyi agree, "She was brought by me from Wuzhou, not from the palace, and I am afraid it will be inappropriate to give it to His Royal Highness." ”

Strictly speaking, the maid who brought her husband's family is also counted as a dowry, and the right to dispose of it is in her hands, and as for Zhaorong, who is not yet famous, she has no right to dispose of it.

Ruan Yuyi was afraid that Mu Xiang would be too careful, so she secretly pinched her palm.

Zhaorong chuckled, "It's just a servant, what does my sister do so tightly." In a few days, it won't be a problem for the palace to get you ten or eight. ”

On the surface, she thought that Mu Xiang's craftsmanship was good, but in fact, in the secret place that she didn't know about, she was holding her breath in her heart, and she had to fight with Ruan Yuyi, so she felt good.

She didn't know the friendship between the two, so she thought it was nothing, but Ruan Yuyi had always regarded Mu Xiang as a sister.

Aunt Mei on the side was also robbed, and she also empathized at this time, and said softly, "If Your Highness is happy with good cooking, why don't you go directly to find one outside, wouldn't it be more convenient, so as not to go around looking for so many maids to arrive." ”

Zhao Rong glanced at her, Xu felt that an aunt was not qualified to talk to her, she didn't answer, and asked Mu Xiang instead, "You say it yourself." ”

She thought that these subordinates valued money more, and her identity was here, and Mu Xiang had no reason not to take this olive branch, so her tone was mixed with a kind of contempt that was bound to be won.

Mu Xiang took a step forward, stood still, first bowed in a proper manner, and then said slowly, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your appreciation." ”

Hearing this, Zhaorong bent the corners of her lower lip, thinking that she had accepted it, and was about to speak, but she heard Mu Xiang continue, "It's just that the slave doesn't want to." If Your Highness really likes the craftsmanship of the slave maid, the slave and maid will send it to you. She spoke in a resolute tone and gave a solution to the problem.

Why not? Following her, a heavenly woman, how many people can't get an errand, what dissatisfaction is she!

Zhaorong has always had a very high opinion of herself, and she can't stand the rejection of others, after all, most of the people around her are flattering her. At this time, she pinched her palms and couldn't bear not to drop things in front of Cheng Zhu's, she sneered.

"Okay, both of you masters and servants have the same temperament, and you have already breathed well."

The servant on the side hurriedly stepped forward to grab her and patted her on the back gently, but Zhaorong waved her sleeve away.

The surroundings seemed to cool down all of a sudden, and the people standing there didn't dare to come out, and no one spoke for a while, let alone bumped into the anger of the eldest princess. Ruan Yuyi quietly pinched the cup in her hand, she was already avoiding it step by step, but she couldn't avoid Zhaorong being biased and trying to find fault.

Cheng Zhu was already in an unhappy mood and was a little too busy to take care of himself, so he half-closed his eyes and didn't want to pay attention to these open and secret battles. At this time, seeing that the eldest princess lost her temper, she said, "Your Highness is angry, tell Sister Yi to think about this matter for a while, and when she thinks clearly, it is not too late to send someone over." ”

Although this sister Yi has a good temperament, she is too unsophisticated. Since the princess has opened her mouth to ask for someone, she will be a concubine in the future, where is there a reason to refuse, isn't this clearly showing the other party's face.

Zhaorong snorted coldly and reluctantly agreed.

The atmosphere was at a stalemate, and a small guy came in at the door, and he arrived, "Mrs. Mei, the master is looking for you." He looked around, and saw that his wife's face was not good, so he said succinctly, and lowered his head as if he were about to bury himself in the hem of his clothes.

Originally, an aunt was not qualified to be called a lady, but the lord's favor was the rule, so the whole house has been calling like this.

Aunt Mei was named to go, her face was as calm as water, she bowed to the top of the head, and left with the little girl.

Leaving Cheng Zhu's face even more gloomy, but in the end, it was the old man's mouth, and it was not easy to put his beak or anything. So he only talked a few casually, and when he saw that the hour was almost up, he excused himself to rest, and dismissed everyone.

Zhao Rong had no intention of staying longer, glanced at Ruan Yuyi coldly, and walked away with his sleeves.
