"Where did this wild girl come from and dare to steal my plum blossoms!"
A loud shout frightened Yu Tianrong so much that he almost ran away. He turned around and saw an old woman in her seventies rushing toward her with a cane. She exclaimed and quickly moved away, "That...old woman, please wait a moment!"
"Wild girl, how dare you let me wait for you! Are you waiting for you to steal all my plum blossoms? Just take the punishment!" He said and chased after her unceremoniously, as if he would not give up until he hit her.
Yu Tianrong secretly cried out that he was unlucky, and moved slightly to avoid the old woman's pursuit. He looked at Pei Ruochen for help. Pei Ruochen saw that they had been chasing for about a stick of incense and still seemed to have stopped, and then he slowly said: "Sama,
Mom, please be merciful, she didn’t mean it.”
After hearing Pei Ruochen's words, the old lady stopped, stared at Yu Tianrong, and then stared at Pei Ruochen, "Boy, what's your relationship with her? Who is she?"
"Aunt Sa, she is Yu Tianrong."
Aunt Sa hesitated for a while and looked at Yu Tianrong with sharp eyes, "Is she from the Yu family?"
"No!" Pei Ruochen smiled lightly, "She has been kicked out of the house by the Yu family."
Aunt Sa's eyes flashed, she looked Yu Tianrong up and down, and suddenly said: "Have I seen this girl before?"
"Mommy Sa, noble people often forget things. When the late emperor passed away, she also picked a plum blossom and hit you when she entered the palace!"
Aunt Sa's eyes lit up, "Well, boy, you remember it clearly! I didn't expect that the little girl back then has grown into a delicate woman! Tsk tsk, it looks like her life is much better than before!"
"Haha, Grandma Sa has a unique vision, which is admirable."
"Boy, why did you bring her to the palace?"
Pei Ruochen shook his head, "Aunt Sa, I didn't bring her here, it was the emperor who summoned her to the palace to have an audience."
Aunt Sa's face was wrinkled and wrinkled, full of wind and frost. When she looked at Yu Tianrong, her eyes showed a hint of sympathy, "Summoned, it seems that the wild girl is either rich or noble."
"Wrong, it's bad luck!" Yu Tianrong curled his lips disdainfully and interjected.
Aunt Sa looked at Yu Tianrong with admiration, "Aren't you the wild girl you used to be?" Then she sighed, "I heard that you were divorced by the general protecting the country a year ago, and your son was also kicked out. Now,
Why did I find you again?"
"You also know?" Yu Tianrong shrugged helplessly, "Old lady, you must also know what the general protecting the country has done to me. Do you think they bullied me too much and treated me as worthless?
Well, don’t just throw it away or smash it casually. One day you want it, and you feel like teasing it, and then you want to pick it up and play with it!”
Aunt Sa chuckled and glanced at Pei Ruochen, "What the girl said makes sense, but don't forget that you broke off one of my plum blossoms. This debt cannot be underestimated!"
Uh--it's just a plum blossom, so there's no need to worry about it like this! Look at this yard, it's full of plum blossoms!
"Girl, do you think my plum blossoms are too worthless?"
"No, no, I'm just thinking about how to compensate the old lady for her losses. After all, I offended you and I really shouldn't have made you angry." Just kidding, the old lady that Pei Ruochen respects so much is definitely not a kind person! At least not to make you angry.
She is the type who can be bullied at will, but it is better for her to use softness to control toughness.
Seeing the sincere look on her face, Aunt Sa calmed down and said, "Well, that's easy. I'm not a hard person to talk to. Let's do it this way. You two can help collect plum petals today. Just in time, I'm going to cook it.
Plum blossom wine.”
Huh? If someone picks a plum blossom, it's a crime and you'll be punished for it, but she picks it to make plum blossom wine? This is so... cruel!
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you take action quickly!" Grandma Sa's eyes widened.
Pei Ruochen smiled calmly and said to Yu Tianrong: "I think you should cut the plum blossoms for Grandma Sa carefully!"
Helpless, Yu Tianrong had no choice but to follow Pei Ruochen into the plum forest and carry a bamboo basket to collect plum blossoms. Pei Ruochen picked the plum blossoms, and Yu Tianrong followed to pick them up... Although the plum blossoms bloomed in the cold, stretching out their cool beauty and expressing their elegance.
The sweet fragrance is intoxicating. However, Yu Tianrong feels that he is really unlucky at this moment!
"This plum garden is Grandma Sa's place. She doesn't like others touching her plum blossoms, so letting you help cut them is already a good treat."
"You brought me here to suffer on purpose, right?"
Pei Ruochen glanced at her and reached out to take the petals from her hair, "I'm looking for a backer for you."
Ah? "Does this Grandma Sa have a big background?"
"She is the Empress Dowager's personal maid. She has never married. She has taken care of the Emperor since he was a child. She is equivalent to the Emperor's half wet nurse. The Emperor is also quite filial to him. In addition, the Empress Dowager left a will before she passed away.
, no one in the harem can disturb the purity of Meiyuan, so her status in the palace is very high."
"Do you think she can help me change the emperor's mind?"
"Nothing is impossible, as long as she is willing to take action."
