"It doesn't matter if you eat a little." Li Xue handed him another chicken leg, "How can I keep my body healthy if I don't eat meat for so many days? Fortunately, my aunt anticipated this in advance and specially stuffed some money for me.
Come here, we can occasionally improve the food in the future."
Xiao Yunheng was indeed having a hard time these days. After hesitating for a while, he took the chicken leg and ate it. Li Xue turned around and went back, tearing into the soft cooked chicken. The more he ate, the more delicious it became. After a while, one of the chickens gave way.
She wiped out most of them.
Although women have a small appetite, Li Xue stayed in Shadow Pavilion for so many days. She just returned to Xiao's house and only stayed for one night before coming to Princess Mansion. She only ate green vegetables and cabbage for several days in a row. It was really a long time since she had eaten meat.
, I couldn’t hold it back for a while and started to overeat.
By the time Xiao Yunheng finished eating one chicken leg, there were only some bones left in the paper bag.
He looked at Li Xue's embarrassed expression, suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, and said calmly: "You have worked hard to take care of me these days. Just let the kitchen cook whatever you want to eat. If it doesn't work, just exchange some money for the time being, and wait.
My injury is better and I will make it up to you."
Li Xue hummed and said movedly: "Brother Heng is still kind to me."
"Did you go to see Yun Zishu today?" Looking at the obvious redness and swelling on her face, I knew it was caused by the two strong female subordinates around Yun Zishu.
Because Xiao Yunheng also suffered it.
Li Xue froze and nodded slowly: "Well, the princess has left the house."
"I'm lying here so much that I'm going to get moldy, and she doesn't even come over to take care of me. Why do I still have the time to go out for a walk?" Xiao Yunheng gritted his teeth, "She is indeed a ruthless bitch!"
…
Yun Zishu has no time to look after a heartless and unjust person.
At this time, she was sitting in the carriage, opened the curtain, and leisurely looked at the busy traffic and people on the long street, with a delicate and picturesque look on her face.
The folk customs of the Yong Dynasty were relatively open. Although men were superior to women, the restrictions on women were not too strict. Especially for some noble women, it was common for them to go out to visit the jewelry pavilion, jade building, etc. on weekdays.
But there seemed to be more people in the Jewelry Pavilion today.
The carriage stopped at the Jewelry Street. There were several shops selling jewelry on this street. Through the curtains of the carriage, Yun Zishu saw Princess Baozhu of Prince Rong's Mansion, the eighth princess Yun Zirou, and several others.
A noble lady chooses jewelry together.
Naturally, Leng Yue and Leng Shuang also saw it. After thinking for a while, Leng Yue remembered something. She walked to the side of the carriage and whispered to Yun Zishu: "The birthday of the imperial concubine is coming soon. These princesses and noble ladies are coming."
They all choose gifts at this Royal Treasure Pavilion."
Concubine Wu’s birthday?
Yun Zishu understood.
It is indeed necessary to carefully prepare a congratulatory gift. After all, Concubine Wu is now in charge of the middle palace, and her son is the current prince. Her status is already equivalent to that of a queen, and now she is only missing the title of a queen.
Yun Zishu got off the carriage and just walked into the Imperial Treasure Pavilion. Several pairs of eyes in the lobby looked over at the same time.
"Hey, which gust of wind brought the Ninth Princess to the Imperial Treasure Pavilion today?" Princess Baozhu walked over first and said jokingly, "Are you here to choose a gift for the imperial concubine?"
Yun Zishu smiled casually: "I'm just here to take a look."
"When choosing a gift, just choose a gift. What's the shame?" The eighth princess smiled, "It's just that compared to choosing a thoughtful gift for the mother and concubine, I think if Jiu Mei can go back to Xiao at this time,
Home, on the other hand, makes my father and mother happy, and making my father happy is more important than any gift."
"Yes, the Ninth Princess has disgraced the Xiao family. Even if the phoenix from the sky is given to the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine will not be happy."
"By the way, the things in this Royal Treasure Pavilion are very valuable. Can the Ninth Princess afford them?"
Smiles appeared on the faces of several noble ladies: "The Ninth Princess has her own mansion. Now that she is the head of a mansion, how can she not be able to afford some jewelry?"
Leng Yue and Leng Shuang frowned together as they listened to the crowd's ridicule.
"Your Highness the Ninth Princess." A young man walked out of the inner room of the lobby of Yubao Pavilion and bowed to Yun Zishu, "I didn't know that the Ninth Princess was coming, so I didn't welcome you from afar. I hope that Your Highness the Princess will forgive me."
Yun Zishu said calmly: "No need to be polite."
"How many new styles have arrived in the Royal Treasure Pavilion today? Princess, would you like to choose one?" The man's tone became more polite and respectful, "There is a set of phoenix crown hairpins that are particularly exquisite. If the ninth princess is interested, the common people will take it out for the princess to see.
.”
Phoenix crown hairpin?
The expressions of the noble ladies were slightly strange. Only the queen is qualified to wear the phoenix-shaped headdress...
Yun Zishu nodded: "Bring it over."
"yes."
Yun Zirou, Princess Baozhu and several noble ladies looked at each other, wondering about this man's attitude towards Yun Zishu.
"Can the Ninth Princess afford it?" Princess Baozhu snorted coldly, "Don't just wait for the shopkeeper to take out the things. If the Ninth Princess can't afford it, it will be a joke."
Leng Yue looked at her displeased: "Princess Baozhu has repeatedly mocked the Ninth Princess. Is it because she thinks her life is too long, or is it because the children of Prince Rong's Palace are so uneducated?"
"you--"
"The following crimes were just mentioned a few days ago, but some people always forget them." Leng Yue's expression suddenly turned cold, "Leng Shuang, if anyone dares to be rude to the princess, you don't have to be polite and slap her mouth directly."
Princess Baozhu's face turned pale: "You dare?"
"You can try to see if we dare." Leng Yue said in a strong tone, "If something goes wrong, the commander-in-chief will take care of it. Anyway, Prince Rong's Palace does not dare to punish us!"
There was a faint smile on Yun Zishu's lips: "Leng Yue, don't move out of the Shadow Pavilion at will. Those who don't know may think that I am bullying others with the power of the Shadow Pavilion. In fact, I am the direct princess, even if there is no Shadow Pavilion.
, According to the rules of the royal family, the following offenders should also be severely punished. Princess Baozhu was probably spoiled by Prince Rong and became lawless, so she forgot this."
Princess Baozhu sneered, "Princess?"
The one who has the protection of the mother is the legitimate princess, and the one who does not have the protection of the mother is just an orphan princess. Do you really think that you are unattainable?
However, she did not dare to say these words in front of outsiders. After all, there are some things that can be done but cannot be said. It would be a taboo to say it.
"Jiu Mei, don't be angry." Yun Zirou smiled lightly, trying to smooth things over like a good old man, "Baozhu is more outspoken and has no malice. On the contrary, the two maids around Jiumei are always moving out of the Shadow Pavilion to threaten the royal princess.
, it’s really not appropriate.”
Yun Zishu said: "There is no way. I am now very weak. Without the protection of Leng Yue and Leng Shuang, I am afraid I will be bullied to death."
Yun Zirou's face froze: "Who dares to bully you?"
"There have always been many people who dare to bully me." Yun Zishu looked at her calmly, "I think that I am not a talkative person. In the future, anyone who takes the initiative to offend me will be hostile to me.
Gong was sarcastic, so he might as well give it a few slaps and let the mean-mouthed person experience the consequences of being mean-mouthed. I wonder what the Eighth Sister thinks?"
