After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 44
Hearing Zhaorong's voice, Master Cheng noticed the strange face beside his eldest son, his eyes became suspicious, and he turned his head and asked, "This is—" Zhaorong naturally didn't need to salute to Master Cheng. Standing upright, it looks a bit eye-catching.

Cheng Zhu quickly leaned over and introduced, "This is Princess Zhaorong."

Master Cheng was taken aback. He knew that Mrs. Cheng Zhu had gone to the temple to pray for blessings, but he didn't know exactly what it was for.He also wondered how the eldest princess would be in his mansion and come back with them.

He just thought Cheng Zhushi was clinging to him indiscriminately again, it's not that similar things have never happened before.At that time, he was discussing important matters with his colleagues in the study room, and she brought tea herself, but she stepped on the other person's sore spot with a flattery, and the man walked away in anger, and read a book from him, which almost hurt him lost his official position.

From then on, no matter what kind of official business, he would do it outside, and he was unwilling to entertain guests in the mansion.

Master Cheng felt weird and his face was slightly gloomy. He glanced at Cheng Zhushi who was on the side, and then went forward, brushed his clothes and cupped his hands, and saluted politely.Zhao Rong moved aside, and said with a smile, "Master Cheng, you don't need to be too polite."

Hearing this, his heart skipped a beat.The courtesy of a monarch and his ministers cannot be revoked, unless - he glanced at Cheng Rui, but he was so stupid this time, he didn't look like he would be caught by a woman from the Tian family.

It's just that the eldest son is married again——

His thoughts were messy, but he didn't care about the salute, his eyes lingered between the eldest son and the eldest princess, and there seemed to be a guess in his heart.

Looking at Ruan Yuyi's downcast eyes, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.He thought for a long time, then said in a deep voice, "Xingqiu, I have something to discuss with your mother, you should go back to your respective courtyards for the time being."

As he spoke, he added another sentence, "It's good to entertain the princess."

Since Master Cheng had said so, Ruan Yuyi and the others felt it was inconvenient to stay longer, so they left separately, leaving only Cheng Rui, who was ignorant, still allowed to stay where he was.

She didn't want to go with Cheng Xingqiu, so she deliberately took a few steps down, and she didn't go far, but she heard the sound of broken porcelain in the main hall.

After returning to the courtyard, the wood spirit who had been guarding the door for a long time rushed to meet him when he got the news.She had been looking forward to it for several days, and when she finally saw the young lady coming back, she rushed forward joyfully, intending to hold her hand.

She didn't want to but Mu Xiang reached out to stop her. She said in a low tone, "Miss, don't be so frizzy, it's good to hurt the lady." That's what she said, but she didn't intend to hurt the lady. It is to tell her, and also to prevent her from knowing the matter involved, so she has to ask the reason.

Ruan Yuyi knew that she was worried about her injury, so she didn't say much.Seeing Mu Ling puffing his cheeks, he stepped forward to poke him comfortingly, and smiled slightly.

When she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, her complexion was like jade, every stroke on her face seemed to be drawn by everyone, and every curve was full of tenderness.

The wood spirit, who originally planned to return to Muxiang, was moved for a moment, and laughed, and couldn't hold his breath anymore, "Miss, what's so interesting about the temple? There seems to be a lantern festival recently." She turned to follow Ruan Yuyi While asking east and west.

As she walked in, she said to Mu Ling in a slow voice, "It's the Lantern Festival, there are a lot of tourists, but it's lively—" Such a description made Mu Ling envious, and Ruan Yuyi couldn't match her winking and blinking. With his eyes, he agreed that she would also bring her to the next year's Lantern Festival.

The windows in the wing room were clean because someone had been sweeping them all the time. She sat idle by the desks and casually answered what the wood spirit said. It's mellow, making Sister Muxiang laugh till now."

"You don't have the chance to see it," Mu Xiang joked as she brought a plate of jujube paste cakes, "The prince took that lamp."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ling also put aside the matter of the lantern, and asked instead, "How are you getting along with the young lady?"

Ruan Yuyi couldn't help but recall the scene of sleeping with him at night. Although the room was dark, it was illuminated by the moonlight, and the sound of the man's shallow breathing filled her ears, which disturbed her mind.

She subconsciously stroked her earlobe, and suddenly remembered what she had promised Shizi, so she ordered, "Mu Xiang, take the pair of Dongzhu pendants and send someone to Linglong Pavilion, and ask if they can be repaired."

If they can't handle it well, she can only think about how to explain to the son.

Mu Xiang went in response.

Ruan Yuyi picked up a piece of jujube pastry, and pushed the rest towards the wooden spirit, "Aren't you always greedy for Muxiang's craftsmanship?"

Mu Ling's eyes lit up.In the past, Sister Muxiang took care of the young lady's food, and they were not allowed to touch each other too much. Occasionally, she set up a plate, and only called for points if she couldn't put it down.Sister Muxiang has Jiangnan-style handicrafts. She is the only one who is greedy, and she is greedy for anyone who has tasted it.

She was not polite, so she took a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, wishing she could stuff her mouth full.Ruan Yuyi smiled at her anxious appearance, and hurriedly told her to eat slowly.

She just came back from Shenghe Temple today, but she didn't need to hurry to see the son, so Ruan Yuyi was free, and took a nap on the couch before the hour.Half of her face was sunk in the quilt, which made her face look whiter and smaller.

The wood spirit looked at it for a while, then put down the red curtain for her, and tucked her quilt again.In fact, even though she was so close to serve the young lady, she also felt that the young lady was a little thinner than when I first saw her a year ago, and she no longer had the vivacious vigor when she came here.

Mu Ling moved a chair and sat on the bedside, watching over her to sleep peacefully.

"Miss, have you rested?" When Mu Xiang came in, she found that the room was extremely quiet.Mu Ling nodded and made a silent gesture.Mu Xiang understood and went out lightly, so it won't be too late to inform the young lady when she wakes up.

Because no one came to call her, Ruan Yuyi slept until it was almost dinner time, and then woke up leisurely.

Mu Ling heard the movement, went to the outer room and poured half a cup of tea, and handed it to the young lady's lips.Both she and Mu Xiang knew that when the lady woke up, her mouth would be dry, and she might want to drink water, so she never ran out of tea.

"Miss," Mu Xiang took out a small wooden box from her sleeve, which contained the pair of damaged earrings, "the shopkeeper said that the repair of these earrings is cumbersome, and since the lady requested it, he will wait in Linglong Pavilion tomorrow." That said, I want the young lady to go in person."

Ruan Yuyi didn't doubt that he was there, so she agreed, "Since I'm going out of the house, I'll go to the cloth shop and make some clothes."

Mu Xiang thought about it, not to mention the two damaged bodies before, it is getting colder every day, it is really time to add some clothes for the young lady, "Then should I ask the people in the cloth shop to order?" There will be more clothes to buy, and the money in the yard may not be enough to make four or five sets.

Ruan Yuyi also thought of this layer, so she shook her head and replied, "Put two sets and make them over there, bring back the rest of the cloth, and I'll make another one by myself. Anyway, I'm free when I'm idle."
