"Okay, I'll go over there with you and take a look. If it's true, don't turn your back on me."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. How could I, a noble concubine, do such a thing in front of my concubine?"
Bai Wanrou smiled lightly. In fact, this smile contained a lot of insults to Chen Ruzhi.
Ever since he reached the position of princess, he has not been satisfied with himself for a day. In this case, it is okay to tease him a few words for this reason.
Thinking of Chen Ruzhi's cold words to her in the past, Bai Wanrou suddenly felt uncomfortable in her heart, and her limbs were exuding an aura of sadness.
The two walked to Yueyi's yard. The latter was currently nursing her baby in her room and was not aware of their approach at all.
"Miss, miss! The prince is here!"
Seeing Chen Ruzhi walking in front, Xiao Tao had no time to care whether there were others behind him, and ran into the room with joy and shouted to Yue Yi.
"Why are you making such a fuss? Isn't it normal for the prince to come? Now I am still pregnant with his child."
Hearing these words, Chen Ruzhi paused in his steps, as if he couldn't believe that these were the words Yueyi would say. After a moment of daze, he took Bai Wanrou and walked through the door together.
"My lord, why did you...not tell me before you came?"
Yueyi heard the sound of the wooden door being pushed open, and subconsciously wanted to act coquettishly at the man who came in. Suddenly she saw Bai Wanrou following him, and she was a little shocked, and even the words she spoke changed.
"Let me see how you are doing these days. Weren't you still complaining to me about the food in the imperial dining room in the morning? So I brought Bai Wanrou over to see what you were eating."
Yueyi didn't expect that he would come out like this. Looking at the sweet lean meat porridge in front of her, which was also dotted with some green vegetables, she panicked.
Fortunately, even when he saw the bowl of porridge, Chen Ruzhi didn't ask her anything in public. He just called the steward of the imperial kitchen over.
"Why is Miss Riyue's food so light these days?"
Chen Ruzhi still had a glimmer of hope for Yueyi. Even though this was quite fresh food and not sour at all, as long as the food was not good, the blame could still be placed on Bai Wanrou.
He thought so, but what the steward said was not satisfactory. The aunt was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she was thinking, and then said in a voice as small as a mosquito:
"Ms. Yue has been used to eating big fish and meat recently. She complained a few days ago that she didn't feel well and wanted to see a doctor. The doctor said that the food was too good and the belly of the fetus was too big, so he suggested to prepare some light food so that it can be taken care of in the future.
fetal."
Because Yueyi kept looking in her direction while talking, the aunt could only raise her eyes carefully and look around while talking.
And this reason also deviates from what Yue Yi said "in Bai Wanrou's name", so it would be inappropriate to punish Bai Wanrou.
Chen Ruzhi gritted his teeth. He was not surprised by Bai Wanrou's confidence and arrogance at that time, but he never thought that Yueyi, whom he always thought was innocent, would also lie.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Yueyi who was sitting on the recliner. There was a trace of disappointment in his eyes, but he still pulled his lips and smiled reluctantly.
In any case, Yueyi is much better than the current Bai Wanrou. At least she has a simple mind and is not as snake-hearted as Bai Wanrou.
"Your Majesty, now that the matter has been made clear, our previous agreement..."
"Come here, Yueyi will be punished with three days of confinement for the crime of deception. During this period, you are not allowed to talk to others, and you are not allowed to leave this courtyard."
Hearing this, Yueyi's eyes widened. She couldn't believe that this was what Chen Ruzhi, who had always loved her, would say.
But from what Bai Wanrou said, it seemed that they had already made an agreement before.
After thinking about it, Yueyi finally did not defend herself. Seeing this, Bai Wanrou also sneered and said with mockery:
"Sister Yue should be more careful when speaking in the future. Now that she is carrying a fetus in her belly, she is using this excuse to be lawless. If the fetus falls to the ground in the future, I am afraid it will overthrow the palace."
Although what she said was a bit serious, it was still true. Neither Chen Ruzhi nor Yue Yi could find a reason to refute, so they had to listen to her words angrily and helplessly.
"Today I have been chatting with Sister Yue for a while, so I will leave first so as not to disturb the prince and Sister Yue's alone time."
Listening to these words, Chen Ruzhi felt inexplicably uncomfortable, but for a while he couldn't explain how he felt, so he could only continue to talk to Yue Yi absentmindedly.
Bai Wanrou went out and took Qingtang back to her small courtyard, "One day is like three autumns after not seeing each other for a day. Sure enough, this is the only place where I feel most comfortable."
Qingtang jumped up and down, expressing great agreement with her words, shaking his head as if pounding garlic.
"Miss, you are back?!"
Listening to the familiar voice, Bai Wanrou already knew that the person coming was Lu Zhu, but her eyes were still wet unconsciously, and she spread her arms widely to embrace her.
"Lvzhu, you have had a good rest. You don't know that during this period of time when you were recuperating, Yue Yi was severely punished by us. I'm afraid you won't dare to act like a monster in the past few days."
Qingtang couldn't help but be affected when he saw the scene of their master and servant embracing each other, so he could only find some happy topics to discuss as much as possible.
As expected, these words made both Bai Wanrou and Luzhu smile, "Really? You two are too powerful. It seems that driving that Gui Yueyi out of the palace is just around the corner!"
Lu Zhu teased, and the three of them started laughing and playing happily again.
It wasn't until noon, when the scorching sun hung high in the sky, making them sweaty, that the three of them walked into the room.
"Luzhu, do you still remember what the doctor told you before he left? Now that you are in good health, you still don't know if there are any hidden dangers, so it's better to be cautious."
Bai Wanrou is sincerely fond of Lu Zhu. This maid has been with her since she was very young. The friendship with her has already surpassed the ordinary master-servant relationship. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are relatives.
Hearing these words, Lu Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed again, his voice seemed to be a little more choked up, "Miss, don't worry, I'm completely healed, and the doctor also told me that I don't need to continue taking medicine."
"
Bai Wanrou's heart, which had been raised in her throat, finally calmed down a bit, "That's good."
Probably because he suddenly thought of something, Lu Zhu's eyes lit up, he stood up from the wooden chair, and said to Bai Wanrou and Qingtang, who were still confused:
"Miss, since you became the princess, the entire palace has been managed very well. No one dares to bully me anymore!"
Bai Wanrou smiled. As long as the person she considered a friend was happy, she would also feel happy. At this time, Lu Zhu's words made her feel quite proud.
However, this sentence also reminded her that she needs a right-hand man to help her manage the palace, otherwise she can be a hand-off shopkeeper and let the butler manage it now, but what will happen in the future? No one can guarantee it.
"Luzhu, in order that no one will dare to bully you again, I will hand over the right to manage the inner house to you. You must also not forget to find out the prince's whereabouts and whereabouts for me. Do you think this is good?"
There is no reason why Lu Zhu disagrees. He agrees with all his words, as if his words are about to break.
Qingtang on the side looked a little envious, and at the same time, his eyes looking at Bai Wanrou were full of expectation.
Although she was just sent to take care of Bai Wanrou, Qingtang already regarded her as her own sister. Even if she did not assign any tasks to herself, she would still take good care of her.
On the other hand, Bai Wanrou had already planned what Qingtang would do, so when she looked into her eyes, she felt a little funny in her heart.
"As for Qingtang, you are responsible for managing the security of the inner house. Don't let others break in, especially don't let people from Yueyi's side enter and exit my yard at will. Can you do it?"
Qingtang didn't listen to the end. She only nodded halfway through her words, "No matter what task the lady assigns to me, I will definitely complete it!"
Bai Wanrou looked at the way they were submissive to her, and suddenly felt that Bai Wanrou, the soft persimmon who could be manipulated by others, was no longer there.
"That's good. As long as the two of you can do your part well, I guarantee that you will be happy and drink well."
Hearing this, although Luzhu and Qingtang didn't say much, the smiles on their faces had already said everything.
"Your Majesty, my lady wants you to come over. She said she wants to see you. Please do it for the sake of the baby in your belly."
The reason why Xiao Tao said this was because Yue Yi had already arranged it. She knew that with her status, she might not be able to get Chen Ruzhi to come over, so she had to use this fetus as a condition. No matter what, Yue Yi wanted to see him.
.
Sure enough, when the word "fetus" was heard, footsteps suddenly came from the library, which had always been silent and silent, and then Chen Ruzhi's figure appeared at the door.
"Take me to see your young lady."
Xiao Tao nodded and led the way, feeling relieved at the same time. Recently, because of Bai Wanrou, her young lady always had a very bad temper. From time to time she would reprimand a few servants, and sometimes she would even smash things in the house.
thing.
She was afraid that she would be the next one to be trained, so she tried her best to satisfy Yue in everything she did, otherwise she would not dare to relax at all.
For example, now, even though Chen Ruzhi has been brought to the courtyard, Xiao Tao is still guarding outside the room, thinking that if the young lady calls her for something, she can answer the call in time.
"Your Majesty, you are finally here. I was tossing and turning in bed just now, and I still felt uneasy. I always wanted to talk to you. Didn't I disturb your Majesty's political affairs?"
"It's okay. Your emotions will also affect the fetus. Don't be too anxious. I'm always here."
Chen Ruzhi didn't want to come over at first. After all, confinement was punishment. If she was given a favor today, more people would not take her words seriously in the future.
But after all, she still had a child of her own, and Chen Ruzhi couldn't bear to be cruel. In the end, Xiao Tao was still able to shake his inner thoughts. This chapter has been completed!
