Zhen Qingyin doesn't care what happens to the prince.
The prince is a cool and domineering male protagonist. Wherever he goes, there are a group of young ladies who try their best to attract his attention, and even try their best to climb into his bed.
She only cares: "What does the prince's departure from the mansion have to do with the plum blossoms I gave to my aunt?"
Yin Ruzhu looked at her in surprise.
Only then did Zhen Qingyin realize that her words were inappropriate.
Too indifferent.
Something like this happened in Duke Chao's house, and her aunt was also having a headache. She thought that she and Duke Chao would go to Zhezi to plead guilty and appease the anger of the prince, the emperor and the imperial concubine.
The innocent reputation of a young lady was implicated. The prince brought it back to the East Palace and it was said that the matter was successfully resolved. However, according to the temperament of the male protagonist in the original text, the petty prince would definitely not be able to swallow this breath. How could he fulfill her wishes and fulfill her wish? The East Palace is in his eyes every day.
If the general goes out, both the prince and Duke Chao will be embarrassed.
It should be resolved privately.
Zhen Qingyin sat down. Things had already happened. There was no point in getting angry.
She explained in a low voice: "Don't be surprised, aunt, I have never cared about external affairs. I'm afraid that aunt will be busy for a while, and it will be inconvenient for me to be a guest in Hanxu Courtyard. Today, I will go home."
"How is that possible? I finally picked you up and Xiang'er hasn't kissed you enough yet." Yin Ruzhu knew her niece's temperament and didn't take her words to heart at all. She held her hand and said, "In the other room." What happened has nothing to do with our eldest house, so you can stay here, and when the plum blossoms fall, I will personally take you back home."
By then, the news about Song Qi had passed.
Zhen Qingyin's heart moved.
Her aunt sent her back to her home, which was a disguised threat to calm down Aunt Zhang and the old lady who were about to make a move in the town, and to restore her mother's innocence.
Nowadays, it is difficult for her aunt to find time to see her off.
"Since my aunt doesn't mind me causing trouble, I will spend some more time with my aunt and cousin."
Song Xiang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's right! Why is my cousin so anxious to go back? Don't you get tired of staring at Sister Yuanyuan every day? Xiang'er also wants to play with my cousin."
The three of them picked up their bowls and chopsticks and continued eating.
Yin Ruzhu explained the whereabouts of the plum blossoms: "Your Highness left in a hurry. I thought that the imperial concubine was thinking about her family and had no time to cut the plum blossoms. In a blink of an eye, I saw the branch you sent. It was blooming in full bloom, so I hurried away. , sent it to the prince. Fortunately, the prince's expression softened a lot after he gave it to him. After all, my aunt has to thank you."
Zhen Qingyin couldn't help but smile: "I see. It's just a plum blossom. It belongs to the Duke's mansion. My aunt said thank you to me, which made me even more frightened."
Yin Ruzhu looked at her carefully and murmured in her heart.
Yesterday afternoon, I don't know what they said and did when they were locked in Tingxue Pavilion for an hour.
Why was he so annoyed that he went back late at night and fed all the snacks given by the prince to the dog?
Fortunately, there was little noise, so she covered it up, otherwise the prince would hear about it, and their fate would be over.
Today I heard another report that Qing Yin went to pick plum blossoms early in the morning. The prince hurriedly went to look for her and wandered in the forest for half an hour without finding her.
He was so angry that he returned to the East Palace, fearing that it might have something to do with Qing Yin.
Yin Ruzhu knew the prince quite a bit, cultivated his moral character, and kept his emotions and anger intangible. To be able to make him angry like this, the fate between the two may not end there.
When she heard that the prince was about to leave in the morning, she took the plum blossom and presented it to the prince, casually mentioning a mouthful of Qingyin.
Sure enough, the prince's dark face immediately softened a bit.
This time the temptation was from both sides.
The prince knew that she was determined to send Qing Yin to the East Palace.
She knew that the prince was interested in Qing Yin.
The two of them had a tacit understanding.
During this day and night, Yin Ruzhu's heart rose and fell several times. Only then did her heart fall back into her stomach.
The young children, who were just beginning to fall in love, were confused and confused. They themselves could not understand their own feelings, and she, the bystander, only became more and more tired.
I hope that the prince will also use some shrewd methods in political affairs when it comes to the relationship between men and women, so that he can coax her deserted niece earlier.
Yin Ruzhu did not reveal the "relationship" between the two, fearing that Zhen Qingyin would face difficulties, and she never thought about correcting Zhen Qingyin's temper and urging Zhen Qingyin to control the prince.
That's too deliberate, and the prince may not accept this.
It's good to be lonely. Men, they will cherish those who have worked hard to catch them. What they are chasing is not business.
She has lived for more than thirty years and has long seen through the base nature of men.
One look at her aunt's eyes with looming murderous intent, and Zhen Qingyin knew that her aunt was reminded of her uncle Chao Guogong again.
She lowered her head to eat, pretending not to see.
Song Xiang's pretty face was almost buried in the bowl.
Obviously, she was also keenly aware of her mother's murderous intent.
No one dares to get into trouble.
After finishing breakfast, Yin Ruzhu wiped her lips and went to clean up the aftermath for Miss Song San.
Zhen Qingyin played rope flipping with Song Xiang for a while, then took out the new checkers and taught her how to play.
Song Xiang had a hard time learning Go, but he quickly mastered how to play checkers and became addicted to it.
"Cousin, I knew you had a lot of fun things, and they were all hidden. Fortunately, mother kept you."
"It's not hidden. I saw this gameplay in a book and came to share it with you right away." Zhen Qingyin put aside her messy thoughts and focused on having fun.
"Humph, I'm not hurting you in vain. Then Sister Yuanyuan doesn't know how to play checkers, right?"
Zhen Qingyin was funny and understood the little girl's idea of monopolizing her friends. She quirked her little nose and said with a smile, "No, I'm only playing with you, and you're not allowed to teach others."
"Okay, okay, it's just the two of us, this is our secret!" Song Xiang was so happy that he finally won over Zhen Yuanyuan on the jealousy issue.

East Palace.
The prince complained that he was ill and had caught wind and cold, so he asked for leave for three days and did not go to court.
The emperor approved it, and not only granted him an extra three days' leave, but as soon as he came to court, he rushed to the East Palace to visit the patient.
The plum blossoms sent by Yin Ruzhu were received by Feng Youxi.
Feng Youxi protected her in his arms all the way. He would rather blow the cold wind and wrestle himself than let this plum blossom lose a petal.
Returning to the East Palace, the prince bathed twice in a row and took medicine once, and the heat in his body subsided.
Feng Youxi saw the right opportunity and sent the plum blossoms to him.
He played with the plum blossoms and felt a little sad.
After going round and round, the plum blossom finally fell into his hand.
I'm afraid Miss Zhen is acting like a frightened little rabbit right now. She doesn't understand what's going on and is so scared that she's about to cry, right?
Perhaps, he had completed another task inexplicably and received the reward, and he was going crazy with joy.
"Feng Youxi."
"The slave is here."
"Tell people to keep an eye on Miss Zhen's every move. If there is anything unusual, you must report it to the orphan."
Those words again. Feng Youxi thought of the snacks for the dogs, and felt a chill on the back of his neck: "Yes, Your Highness, please remember this. Your Highness, it's time to eat now."
The imperial doctor told him that the prince should eat more so that he could have the strength to fight the remaining medicine in his body.
"Let's go."
The prince put the plum blossoms in a vase and placed it on the Duobao Pavilion in his bedroom. He was in a good mood. After spending the whole night, he was really hungry.
I ate a tray of steamed dumplings, two flower rolls, a bowl of stomach-friendly millet porridge, and four or five side dishes.
As soon as he put down his chopsticks, Feng Youxi shouted at the top of his lungs: "The Emperor has arrived——"
Just as he was about to stand up to greet him, the emperor strode in and held his shoulders.
Ben Longyan was furious and came to join his son in attacking Duke Chao. When he looked at the empty cages and dishes on the table, the emperor asked in shock: "Prince, have you fallen in love with Miss Song San?"
