Chapter 115: Soup
The morning light is faint, and the birds are chirping.
Mu Xiang saw that the sky was clear today, and it would be fine, so he took the quilt out to dry. She hung the quilt on a bamboo pole, spread it flat, and dusted it a few times before turning away.
Not far away, the two palace maids glanced over here and whispered.
"Recently, the people around Ruan Cairen always come out to dry the bedding, and I don't know how to do it, and my body can't afford to eat." The servant glanced at the place where Muxiang had stood.
The palace maid in the goose yellow coat snorted lightly, "Could this be a bad thing, no one in the palace has ever been favored." She is the only one, but she doesn't know which one came out, and she can't be on the stage, so she keeps people outside. โ
The other person was cautious, looked left and right, and lowered his voice, "I heard that she is the young lady who was divorced by Cheng Xiu." โ
Women rarely have the right to choose in family affairs, although Yuyi and Cheng Xingqiu are indeed reconciled, it is not possible for a woman to propose it. When the rumors spread, the good deeds did not care about them, and they all became divorced wives.
"That's notโ" The palace maid in the goose yellow coat looked surprised, suddenly thought of something, and changed her words, "Although this talented man is indeed an immortal, how can Your Majesty pay attention to a woman who was once a wife." It's no wonder that he can't become a serious master in the palace. โ
"Who's to say it isn't. However, working here is a beautiful difference. โ
Cheng Zhu sent a lot of gold and silver soft things, and they relied on these things to pass through their hands first, and some valuable ones fell into their pockets.
Mama Jin bumped into it once, first reprimanded her, and then stabbed Ruan Yuyi. Helplessly, these two palace maids, even if they quietly carried Mama Jin on their backs, they were more or less greedy.
The most ruthless time, only a few dresses remained. They still think that they are doing it perfectly, and no one will know.
The other laughed, and was about to say something, but suddenly paused, lowered his eyebrows, and held the broom in his hand, pretending to be sprinkling the sweep all the time.
The goose yellow coat's heart jumped, and he slowly turned his head, and saw that Mu Xiang was calm not far away, looking at them without saying a word. She pursed her lips and walked away a little.
After Mu Xiang returned to the wing, she told Ruan Yuyi about the matter.
She blew open the tea stalks floating in the tea cup, and the heat gathered into a white mist and dispersed at once. She had actually discovered their actions earlier, but this was someone he had sent, and it was not easy to deal with them at will.
So she informed him while he was coming.
But he didn't look like he wanted to protect her at all, but chuckled, twisting her hair, and said casually, "It's just a little yellow and white, if you like it, just send you more." โ
He actually knew Cheng Fu's thoughts in his heart, and he didn't like such behavior. But he didn't want to protect her, he deliberately kept these two palace maids and let them bully her.
At that time, when he said this, she lowered her eyes and said no more.
Ruan Yuyi put down the teacup, thought for a moment, and said, "In the future, I asked my aunt not to send anything again." You also remember to distance yourself from the two palace maids, and keep an eye on them. If there is any heavy work, give it to them. โ
In the eyes of these palace maids, only he is the real master. If he connived at their behavior, she would not be able to bear them.
She sighed softly and looked out the window. The window is exquisitely carved, hidden in luxury but not extravagant, but the staggered wooden strips are like a golden cage for Guan Que'er, which makes people feel depressed.
She had also tried to intercede with him. After all, there was no one behind her to help cover her, and no matter how much she wanted to escape, she couldn't escape anywhere.
Wen Pheasant knew the inside story of Jiang Huaiyang's change of attitude, so he also understood that it involved Deputy General Yuan, and it was difficult to ask His Majesty to take a step back.
He had no choice but to smile and soothe a few words, "Your Majesty, he didn't mean to hide your identity. He still cares about you, or elseโ" Otherwise, it wouldn't have been as simple as house arrest here.
Seeing that her eyebrows and eyes were low, she was also a little unbearable.
"I know," she said softly, "that I was the one I misidentified first, no wonder Your Majesty." She sometimes even wondered if she had been more careful when she was looking for her son, and if she would have been in a very different situation than she is now.
She did not want to be placed under house arrest, even if others envied the fine clothes and food provided to her by His Majesty.
She still couldn't understand why after being welcomed to this courtyard, he was like a different person, and sometimes the cold in his eyes could make her shiver.
Wen Pheasant smiled decently, and said, "It's good that talented people can figure it out, maybe you should also give Your Majesty some time, maybe he will figure it out." But that's just a comforting word.
The deceased is gone, where can be easily reversed. What's more, it involves a deputy general who was born and died with His Majesty and is commensurate with his brother.
As long as His Majesty still minds that matter, then it can become a barrier that has always stood between them, which cannot be ignored or eliminated.
She thought about it, and even felt a little wronged, and forcibly suppressed her tears, "But Your Majesty should also know that I can't run away." It's redundant to arrange for so many people to watch, isn't it? She tried to use this to impress the other party.
Wen Pheasant looked at the smiling and easy to speak, but in fact, no matter how she spoke, she couldn't pry his mouth.
She had no choice but to give up for the time being. Wen Pheasant can't make sense here, so the guards at the door won't let go. She could only look at the high wall of the sky.
My heart was depressed, and even my appetite was poor. Seeing that there was a sickly look floating between her eyebrows, Mu Xiang also looked distressed, and insisted on holding her, and asked her to eat more.
Ruan Yuyi held the spoon and amindedly stirred the soup in the bowl.
This soup is actually very well cooked, and people will be happy when they see it. But she used less meals than before, and she raised her appetite. At this time, staring at the soup, it was like a medicine, and his eyebrows were frowning.
Mu Xiang suddenly saw a dark figure at the door, and when he saw the salute, he just wanted to call, so he signaled that she didn't have to make a sound. Mu Xiang had no choice but to glance at the young lady and stepped aside.
As soon as Jiang Huaiyang stepped over the threshold, he saw the little lady poking the contents of the bowl with a spoon with a sad face, as if this soup had some grudge against her, but it showed the attitude of the little daughter's family.
In order not to be looked down upon, she always held a posture, as if she had wiped the shadow of the former Miss Ruan family to nothing left. Only when there is no one around, do you dare to relax a little.
He pursed his lips and walked forward slowly.
Ruan Yuyi saw that it was him who came, she trembled, put down the spoon in her hand, and bowed her eyes.
The spoon collided with the porcelain bowl, striking Qing Lingling with a crisp sound.
