As soon as she reached the house, Baitao hurriedly came in from the outside and arranged the dinner for the maids, but her face was still not good.
"Looking at how happy you are that you don't miss Shu, what good things did you get?" Fu Yunchi looked at her mysteriously walking towards him with amusement and asked softly.
Chu Miaoer covered his money bag, but smiled and said nothing.
"Did you pick up the money?" Fu Yunchi glanced at her small movements inadvertently, and raised his eyebrows with a half-smile, "Why didn't you call me if you have such a big good thing?"
The maids suppressed their laughter. The fourth prince and the fourth princess were both famous for being indifferent outside. Who would have thought that they would have such childish attitudes in the house. One dared to speak and the other dared to ask. They were childlike.
Seeing that dinner had been arranged, Baitao waved to those people to go down first, then turned around and said, "Your Majesty and Princess, it's time to have dinner." Even though he was not happy, he still helped Chu Miao'er to the dining table.
"Miaomiao, are you still hiding from me?" Fu Yunqi looked at her steadily and said with a smile, "Everyone is gone."
Chu Miaoer sat upright, slowly took out a folded silver note from her purse, spread it out in her hand and handed it to Fu Yunchi, smiling brightly.
"Five hundred taels of silver notes?!" Baitao on the side shouted in surprise, staring at those big words with her round eyes, covering her mouth with both hands, in disbelief.
Tingfeng was also a little surprised and asked with envy: "Princess, where did you pick it up? I'll go to the market for a walk tomorrow to see if I can pick it up."
"Listen to your prince's nonsense," Chu Miao'er looked at Fu Yunqi angrily, "Last time I went to the Second Prince's Mansion, I specifically asked the doctor in the manor. He said that Sister Huyin is going to give birth this month, so
I hurriedly rushed to order a meeting gift for my nephew."
Fu Yunqi only looked at her calmly, then put the banknote away and said nonchalantly: "Didn't I order someone to prepare a fine jade long ago? I don't have to worry about not having a meeting gift then..."
"That's different. It was a gift from you, and it was a gift from me," Chu Miaoer argued seriously with him for the first time. "Although the 'longevity lock' I ordered has similar meanings to the jade bi, after all, it is
My whole heart, and so far... I'm afraid it's unique in the whole of Kyoto, and there won't be another one that's the same."
"So in the end, this unique idea was exchanged for five hundred taels of silver notes?" Fu Yunqi didn't want to argue with her. He smiled and shook his head, "Little money fan, please eat quickly. You must be very hungry after walking for a few hours.
.”
The entire palace belonged to her, so what did this mere five hundred taels of silver note in her hand mean? But seeing her looking so happy, Fu Yunchi was also happy from the bottom of his heart.
Here there is a happy and harmonious atmosphere, but on the other side there is grief and sorrow, and some people are seeking death and survival.
"What are you doing? Imprisoning me? Why do you treat me like this?! Get out! Get out of here -" A hoarse roar, faintly accompanied by sobs, came from the house, "I want to find the prince!"
It’s better to just let me die——”
Wan Niang didn't pause at all. This scene happened every now and then. She had long been used to it as she lived next door. At this time, there was a clear and sharp sound, and then a little maid covered her face and trembled.
He ran out of the house with tears in his eyes and his face was suddenly red and swollen.
Although Qin Luoge is very scheming, due to the constraints of her status, she has never seen her hit a servant in the mansion for so long. What happened today? She was beaten and scolded at the same time?
Seeing the little maid holding a plate of broken pieces and pushing out the door, she probably didn't expect that there was another person standing outside the house, so she felt even more aggrieved. She quickly bowed and trotted away in tears. Wan Niang made an exception to mind her own business and went up.
I went to the two guards at the door and asked, "What's wrong with her? She's so angry."
After the two guards looked at each other, they replied politely: "It was like this when we came to change shifts just now. I heard that it seemed...it seemed that I sneaked out during the day today and was...
.." The man's eyes suddenly flickered, and he hesitated, "They knocked him unconscious and carried him back... When he woke up, he started to fight for his life and insisted on asking the prince for an explanation. We had no way...
....”
It turned out that he had sneaked out and was caught again, and he was not convinced.
"Forget it if she doesn't eat. She will always eat when she's hungry," Wan Niang looked at them coldly and said, "Don't disturb the princess with such trivial matters. If you really want to die, why would you think of crying like this?
It attracted attention, so I sneaked into the room and got a rope and ended it."
The two guards saw that she didn't look like she was joking, and were a little stunned, but they still responded politely. This Wan Niang was a magical existence in the house, and everyone treated her with the etiquette of a distinguished guest. First, this was the prince.
Secondly, the sword has no eyes for fear of hurting itself.
Wan Niang only glanced at the messy food on the floor under the steps, and left without looking back, for fear of getting into this bad luck.
It was not easy to walk outside on this snowy day. Fu Yunqi went to court on time every day, but Chu Miaoer had nothing to do when he stayed at the house all day. After thinking about it, he found something to do for himself.
.
"Princess, can you drink these things if they are soaked in wine?" Bai Tao looked at the table full of Chinese medicinal materials and several large jars of rice wine, and secretly admired her. How could the princess's little head hold so many strange things?
Qianqi’s thoughts?
After Chu Miaoer wiped her hands clean, she put the medicinal materials into the jar one by one in order, while patiently explaining: "Fruit berries, Polygonatum sibiricum, Astragalus root, Angelica sinensis, Cistanche deserticola, and ginseng are all good for nourishing qi and blood, and nourishing the body and longevity."
The medicine can make people's faces rosy and shiny. It's best to drink a few sips a day..." She turned her head and blinked her eyes and smiled, "Anyway, the prince likes to drink, so why not give him some fitness regimen?
Right?"
"My slave feels something is wrong..." Baitao denied without thinking, "Obviously it is you, the princess, who pesters the prince to drink every night."
He is such an honest and good boy... Chu Miao paused and continued to explain as if nothing had happened: "These angelica, safflower, Qianghuo, Duhuo, cinnamon twig, and white peony root all warm the meridians and dispel cold, remove dampness and unblock meridians.
The medicine is of great benefit to the second princess’s leg disease. I’ll take it to her after soaking it. It can be regarded as... my apology for the last time."
The incident that Qin Luoge made last time not only frightened Huyin's fetal movement, but also knocked Ye Zhiqiu's leg when he fell. The leg disease that had just improved became worse and worse, and he had to stay in bed for more than a month before he could recover.
Getting out of bed and walking around almost caused her to become blind. Alas, she felt really guilty towards Ye Zhiqiu.
"Princess, it's not your fault, it's Qin..." Baitao was about to enlighten her, but Chu Miaoer couldn't help but interrupt her.
"I know, I know, but after all, I was the one who brought people there. No matter what, I should give them some compensation, right?" Chu Miaoer didn't want to talk about it anymore, and said without looking up, "Okay,
Instead of thinking about this, why not come and help me finish this."
Chu Miaoer worked on it enthusiastically all day, and when she got up on the second day, she felt that her arms and waist were sore. Although Fu Yunchi massaged her for a long time, he did not hesitate to use ridicule in his words.
I mean, I don’t usually realize that this seemingly simple and light work is quite laborious.
In a blink of an eye, the day of the appointment to pick up the longevity lock came. Chu Miaoer had already dressed up and was about to ask Baitao to call Wanniang over, when someone hurriedly ran from the door.
"Princess, Sister Chunliu from Fengwei Palace is here and is heading towards you."
Seeing her panting and breathing heavily, Chu Miaoer was not in a hurry, nodded and said: "I understand, you can go down first."
Just after the maid left, Chun Liu walked in with a smile, bowed politely and said slowly: "Fourth Princess, the Queen is hosting a banquet in Fengwei Palace today. All the concubines in the palace will be present. The Queen specially
I ordered my slave to come and invite you into the palace, and I also asked the princess to pack up and then go with her, the carriage is waiting outside the door."
Invite all the concubines to hold a banquet in Fengwei Palace? I’m afraid it’s a banquet specially for Chu Xianxue!
"I have nothing to deal with," Chu Miao'er tilted her head and whispered to Baitao, "Go and inform Wan Niang, saying that I have something to do here and need to go to the palace, and ask her to help me go to the Silver Building.
, be sure to let her check the things before taking them back to the house."
Chunliu had been standing quietly aside, watching her arrange the affairs of the house in an orderly manner, and secretly praised her in her heart.
It was such a coincidence that as soon as Chu Miaoer entered the palace, she bumped into Chu Xianxue who was coming out of Lingxuan Palace. The two of them just chatted for a few words and then met Al Yunduo who was wandering aimlessly in the garden.
.
The three of them met, and the scene suddenly became very familiar, but it was different from the past. Now Chu Xianxue's face was rosy and proud, but Al Yunduo had lost its previous brilliance.
"Sister Yun Fei, what a coincidence, but did you know that my second sister and I would pass by here?" Chu Xianxue asked softly.
"You are thinking too much," Al Yunduo glanced sideways at Chu Xianxue, but remained merciless, "It doesn't matter if you go early anyway. What's the difference between Baba sitting there and staying in the house? It's better to wander around.
visit."
Chu Miaoer nervously observed Chu Xianxue's expression, and was relieved when she saw that her face had not changed and she was still smiling.
"Yes, it's quite boring to be bored in the house, and Xue'er knows it too," Chu Xianxue said with her eyes bent, "Since we have met, let's go in together..."
After all, she was just afraid that Al Yunduo and Chu Xiangxue would have a dispute. Now, unlike before, Chu Xiangxue was carrying a dragon seed in her belly. If Chu Xiangxue's mood fluctuated too much because of Al Yunduo's words,
, if the fetal movement occurs, not only Al Yunduo, but even herself, a bystander, may be implicated.
Thinking of this, Chu Miao'er decided that after the banquet, she must talk to Al Yunduo alone about the matter. She must not confront Chu Xianxue at this juncture, otherwise it would be Al Yunduo himself who would suffer the consequences.
