Three hundred and fortieth chapters secret covenant
Chunhong stopped seeing the good news, got up and put down the curtain for Ruyi. She slowly walked to the couch in front of the window and lay down. She felt relieved and thought to herself that this woman's heart was probably hot, and she finally failed to let down Aunt Bai's trust. If she could help her get rid of Ruyi, she would have paid back the favor herself...
Since Ruyi met Duan Mingyue, she was already in a state of confusion, which made Chunhong tease her every few days, not to mention how itchy she felt. However, Qinglian was busy with the birthday of the eldest princess, so she was trapped in the kitchen and couldn't get away, and she didn't notice any changes in this sister.
Qinglian knew very well that from the day she took over the kitchen, she offended Bai Caizhi to death. Although this woman had never paid attention to this place since she recommended Zheng Li as a kitchen servant, Qinglian knew that she must have had an eyeliner looking at her in secret, and waited for the problem to be found out and slapped her grandma in the face. By then, Aunt Bai would naturally be proud.
So Qinglian refused to give Bai Caizhi this opportunity no matter what, and it would be fine to deal with herself. She would use herself to deal with Ning Xianbi, but she would not agree to death. Therefore, in order to drive the two wives out last time, she refused to even give Ruyi face, and was determined to drive the two away. Now that the birthday of the eldest princess is approaching, she may not be allowed to give Bai Caizhi the opportunity to deal with it without taking care of it. How could she be so cautious?
Ning Xianbi has been very busy these days. In addition to making medicine, she also went back to her parents' home to stay for two days, giving advice on the betrothal gifts Jiang Jing gave to Qi Zhilan, and did not come back until three days before Princess's birthday.
As the birthday of the eldest princess approaches, Prince Rui's mansion is lively. However, other book friends are reading: Under the smile on the surface, they are already ready and are waiting to use this day to make a big fuss.
***************************************
"What do our ancestors want to eat? Tell your granddaughter-in-law as soon as possible so that Qinglian can prepare."
The second day was the birthday of the eldest princess... So on that night, when Ning Xianbi and Mrs. Xue came to pay their respects, they were entrusted by Qinglian and inquire about it. Naturally, the dishes at the banquet had been prepared. Qinglian was considerate and thoughtful, so she wanted to prepare some food she liked for the eldest princess.
Sure enough, when the eldest princess heard Ning Xianbi's words, she smiled and shook her head and said, "Good boy, you can just have this kind of heart. I have lived for so many years, except for the dragon liver and phoenix marrow, what else has not been eaten in this world?"
Mrs. Xue also smiled faintly from the side: "The daughter-in-law is intent. Since the ancestor said that, just ask the kitchen to prepare more soft and rotten things."
Ning Xianbi stood up and agreed. Suddenly, she heard the eldest princess say, "Yes, I remember that the longevity peach you offered was good when your grandmother celebrated her birthday. Qianshan even took two of them back for me to eat, but now she is thinking about the taste."
Ning Xianbi was stunned and said with a hurried smile: "Where are you looking for peaches at this time? But since my ancestors like it, my granddaughter-in-law will send someone to my cousin's place tomorrow morning to see if there is any in his shop. If so, they will plunder them all for my ancestors."
The eldest princess smiled and said, "Yes, I'm confused. It's winter now, but where can I find peaches? No wonder no one has made me such a longevity peach on my birthday in the past two years. You don't have to worry about it. How can your cousin have this thing?"
Ning Xianbi smiled and said, "Maybe there is. I didn't take care of it a few years ago. This year, I heard from my cousin that I don't know where I got the recipe and peach juice can be stored for a long time. I'll ask if there is one tomorrow. Since my ancestors talk about this, my grandson's wife will make two more snacks for you to taste tomorrow."
The eldest princess smiled and said, "Okay, okay, your hands are made by medicine. I think you have the fragrance of medicine, made some snacks, and some medicine. This is the case again, maybe I can live two more years." After saying that, the princess and others laughed beside her, but Mrs. Xue snorted gently. She really couldn't stand the eldest princess's doting on Ning Xianbi.
After joking, the eldest princess asked them to go back... When she came out, she saw a little snow floating in the sky. Ning Xianbi raised her head and saw that there was no star in the dark sky. She thought that the sky was gloomy, but I was afraid that the first snow in winter would not be light.
Sure enough, the snow fell for half an hour and became heavier. The weather was warmer than during the day, and only a layer was quickly laid on the ground.
*********************
The snowy night was silent, Ruyi sat in the house, boredly carrying the lamp flowers, and said lazily: "What did you say? But I just asked the hoof to ask for two flower rolls, why haven't I come back yet?"
Her close-fitting girl Chunshui walked over, and there was a hint of worry on her face, and she murmured: "No? It's been half an hour. It's time for the rest of the world to come back long ago. Don't have something happened? Otherwise, I'll go out and have a look?"
Ruyi frowned and said, "What's the matter? What can I do in the palace? You're worried about it..." Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard the little girl outside the door laughing and said, "It's considered back. The girl asked twice, but she was anxious." Then the curtain was lifted up, Chunhong walked in, holding a food box in her hand.
Chunshui breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Chunhong laughing and said, "The fire in the kitchen is turned off now. There are no flower rolls that have just been out of the pot. There are a few cold ones that have not moved yet. I took them back. Lian's sister-in-law is grateful for not working for her. She added two more bowls of vegetables and asked me to take them back to make midnight snacks for the girl, but it was already cold."
Ruyi nodded, Chunshui hurriedly took the food box and smiled, "What's the matter if it's cold? Let me take it to the kitchen to heat up." After that, he went out. Seeing that Ruyi was still bored, Chunhong walked over and bent over and smiled in her ear, "Girl Guess who I met when I came back?"
"who?"
Ruyi asked weakly, and other book friends were reading: Then they heard Chunhong laugh and said, "I met Duan Mingyue. Do you know that his voice is not good these two days and will not be on the stage tomorrow?"
"Oh? He has a bad voice? Can't get on stage?"
I really don’t know how Ruyi is. In the past two days, the people in the mansion were busy with their birthdays and came and went, and she was afraid of being caught. Therefore, when she heard Chunhong say this, she suddenly sat upright and asked in surprise.
"No? I said I was infected with the cold of the wind two days ago. Although I have been treated almost the same now, my voice is not good after all, so I can't make it tomorrow. Fortunately, his junior brother can also sing the scenes that the eldest princess likes, so it's not a big deal."
Ruyi nodded and said, "Indeed, their industry has very strict requirements on their throats. Strange, why did you meet him when you go to the kitchen?"
Chunhong said, "It's snowing outside. When I came back, I accidentally slipped on the Jinshui Bridge. Fortunately, I saw him, helped me up, and then stood up and walked back after moving." After saying that, he saw Ruyi in surprise, "Why did you walk to Jinshui Bridge again?" When she saw Chunhong's instant red face, she reacted and couldn't help but look at him and said, "I know that your hoof is not a convenient way, why? Because that bright moon is so beautiful, your spring heart is also moved?"
Chunhong bit her lips and said, "I... Where are I?" After saying that, she heard Ruyi laughing "Puchi" and pushed her and said, "Okay, okay, I think I don't know what kind of virtue you have?" Before she could finish speaking, she saw Chunshui leaving, and the two of them stopped.
After eating a flower roll and a bowl of vegetables, Ruyi rested on the bed, but unexpectedly there was no one in the house. Chunhong came over and whispered: "That branch of Mingyue also missed the girl very much. She asked me a lot about the girl, and was worried about your body, so you can take care of it. Tomorrow is the old lady's birthday. Don't get cold again. It would be bad if you can't attend again."
This was very strange. Ruyi couldn't help but be stunned, but then she realized that she felt a "sky" sound on her face and started to burn. She widened her eyes and looked at Chunhong and said, "You...you girl is trying to die, how can this... this be? This is the royal palace..."
"This is not my idea, it is Duan Mingyue's concern for the girl." But when Chunhong giggled, Ruyi glared at her angrily and hatred. Although she knew that she should refuse at this time, she couldn't help but feel hot when she thought of Duan Mingyue's appearance, and there seemed to be something strange between her legs, which made her body softer half.
"Miss, don't glare at me, I didn't say anything." Chunhong still smiled: "What's more, how can there be such a coincidence? The girl will get cold tomorrow? Maybe the girl is more energetic than grandma, dressed up beautifully to celebrate her ancestor's birthday, but Duan Mingyue will not be seen on the stage tomorrow."
Ruyi's chest was fluctuating violently, and her hands couldn't help but grab the quilt. Chunhong stopped teasing her and quietly retreated: One night she had time to consider this woman, and she was not worried that Ruyi would not take the bait. This night was very difficult, enough to make her dare to take risks.
So early the next morning, Qinglian had just packed up and was going to Ningxianbi to find Ruyi, and saw Chunhong hurried in and said, "Girl, our girl has a stomachache. I really can't get up this morning. Send me to ask what to do? She was going to the old lady's birthday, but now... she can only lie on the bed..."
"What?"
Qinglian stood up in shock and said in surprise: "I went to see her after dinner last year. She was still fine. Why did she get rid of her stomach? She didn't eat anything." As she said, the man had already walked out.
"We didn't eat much dinner last year. Later, we said we wanted to eat flower rolls. I went to take it for her. Maybe it wasn't hot. Somehow, I got up four or five times last night. Until this morning, I didn't have any strength, so I just couldn't talk about it..."
Chunhong said anxiously, Qinglian had already arrived in front of Ruyi's room. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Ruyi's face was pale and scattered, lying on the bed with her eyes closed, looking haggard and powerless.
