Wu Qinghong looked at Xie Wanyu, and then sneered, "I heard that the prince is not married yet, so it's not good for you to accept the princess's gift, isn't it?"
Just now, Wu Qinghong changed the subject of the conversation, almost making Xie Wanyu unable to deal with it.
After being stunned for a moment, Xie Wanyu said with a smile, "She is nothing more than the only woman around the prince. She is also valued by the prince and is called like this. If Miss Wu feels that she can't say it out loud, the same goes for calling me madam."
Her smile didn't reach her eyes.
Xie Wanyu was too lazy to socialize, and she really had no choice. After all, she lived in someone else's house, but looking at this Miss Wu, she didn't seem to be easy to get along with.
"I wonder when Madam followed the prince." Wu Qinghong asked bluntly.
"Northland women are more cheerful and don't mince words when talking." Xie Wanyu said, "It's just that this kind of thing is a private matter, so I won't go into detail with you."
Seeing Xie Wanyu's indifference, Wu Qinghong didn't feel much discomfort and still sat there lazily, refusing to leave.
For a while, the two of them were speechless.
Zhufang could see what Xie Wanyu meant, so she ignored Wu Qinghong and sat on the small stool behind Xie Wanyu to make tea carefully.
The tea she makes is always excellent, the tea is fragrant, and every process is extremely careful and pleasing to the eye.
Wu Qinghong glanced at it and couldn't help but sneer, "After all, we are a wealthy family. Several people die every hour outside, but you are so happy to come here to enjoy tea."
"Miss Wu said this as if I would be sorry for the people of Hancheng if I didn't starve to death." Xie Wanyu gave Zhu Fang a comforting look.
Zhu Fang nodded slightly, "Miss Wu, this tea is the lowest quality tea brick in your house. I was worried that Madam wouldn't be able to eat it, so I added some snow from the winter plums to make it."
Upon hearing that this tea was the worst tea brick, Wu Qinghong felt choked and could not say anything else.
After a long while, he said, "My lord, you are hungry and cold outside, and you are here drinking tea leisurely?"
"Otherwise, Miss Wu, do you think I should cry bitterly, or should I accompany the prince to suffer the cold?"
Xie Wanyu glanced at her and said calmly.
"I thought Madam would try her best. At least, you should do something." Wu Qinghong suddenly stood up and took two steps closer to Xie Wanyu.
Xie Wanyu's eyebrows moved, and the corners of her mouth curved in a sarcastic manner.
"Oh, what did Miss Wu do?" She raised her eyebrows with interest.
"I..." Wu Qinghong opened her mouth, but suddenly swallowed it back. She wanted to say more than that.
"Since it's not convenient to tell me, there's no need to tell me." Xie Wanyu said calmly, "Miss Wu, please help yourself."
Wu Qinghong paused. She thought Xie Wanyu was a weak woman, but she didn't expect her mouth to be so powerful. Every word she spoke made her speechless.
"A woman like you is not worthy of the prince."
"It's not up to you to decide whether you deserve it or not. As long as the prince likes it."
Wu Qinghong was so angry that she stamped her feet, unable to refute what she said.
Xie Wanyu was sipping tea leisurely, looking at the blushing person, and lowered her eyes.
When Tai Shuqi came in, he saw Xie Wanyu who was drinking tea calmly and Wu Qinghong who was furious.
"what happened?"
A cold voice came. Before Xie Wanyu could speak, Wu Qinghong walked over first, leaned over and said, "I have met the prince."
Tai Shuyi glanced at her and responded lightly.
"Are you okay?"
Tai Shuyi's inadvertent expression of care made Wu Qinghong jealous, and she tightened the handkerchief in her hand.
Xie Wanyu shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
"What are you doing here?"
"I heard Madam..."
"lady?"
Seeing Tai Shuqi's displeased expression, Wu Qinghong hurriedly changed her words, "I heard that the princess was unwell, so I came here specifically to visit."
Xie Wanyu didn't bother to argue with her, so she stood up and walked into the room, followed closely by Tai Shuqi.
"Your Highness..." Wu Qinghong took two steps forward to catch up, but hesitated, "I..."
"you can go now!"
"But……"
Tai Shuyi interrupted her and said, "If you dare to disturb her again, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Wu Qinghong was stunned and left unwillingly.
"Miss, the prince has gone too far. How could he treat you like this?" The maid behind her felt a little sorry for her master.
Wu Qinghong sneered, "I can't get the man I want. She is just a princess without status."
Her words were full of disdain for Xie Wanyu.
When Xie Wanyu returned to the house, Zhufang took the heater and put it in her hands to warm her hands.
"Slave, please go see if lunch is ready."
After Xie Wanyu nodded, she turned and left the room.
The weather here is no better than in Beijing, it is extremely cold.
Xie Wanyu felt the warmth coming from her hands and said with a smile, "Why does the prince have time to come back today?"
Recently, he leaves early and comes home late. He is so busy every day that he rarely sees anyone.
"I'm a little worried. I'll come back and see you."
Tai Shuyi was not too worried about her being alone, so he took a moment to come over and have a look.
Faced with his concern, Xie Wanyu was a little at a loss. When she turned around, she accidentally tripped over a stool and leaned forward.
Taishu Ai hurriedly reached out and hugged her in his arms.
Xie Wanyu exclaimed, wrapped her arms around his waist, and pressed her cheek against his strong and warm chest.
"Why aren't you more careful?" He said with a smile, a hint of ridicule in his tone.
Xie Wanyu was startled, then pushed him away violently, looking frightened, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Be careful next time." Tai Shuqi straightened his clothes slowly.
"Madam, the meal has been prepared. Do you want to move to the hall?"
Zhu Fang's voice came from outside the door.
"Well, come on." Xie Wanyu was about to open the door when a heavy cloak fell on her.
Tai Shuqi walked in front of her and tied the cloak carefully.
"It's windy outside. Don't catch the cold. I will have to take care of you by then."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out, followed by Xie Wanyu, his tall back blocking the biting cold wind.
While eating, there was a bowl of medicinal food on the table, which smelled sweet.
"Is this?" Xie Wanyu looked at Zhu Fang behind her with doubts in her eyes. Now that the disaster is serious outside, if this kind of thing is seen by others, it is inevitable that bad remarks will be made.
Zhufang glanced at Taishu Ai and explained, "The prince said that his wife was weak, so he specially asked his slave to make it for his wife to drink."
Xie Wanyu was right when she thought about it. How could Zhufang get such a good medicinal diet? Who else could it be except Tai Shuqi.
"No one will say anything, just drink."
Xie Wanyu knew her physical condition. Since she had already done it, she could not waste it. She picked up the medicinal meal and drank it all in one gulp.
A sweet taste spreads in the mouth, and some osmanthus seems to be added to this medicinal diet.
"It's not peaceful recently, so be careful."
"knew."
Xie Wanyu didn't ask any more questions. She remembered that in the previous life, someone embezzled disaster relief money. The emperor was furious and investigated thoroughly, and many officials were implicated.
Moreover, Tai Shuyi also said that day that some things were not natural disasters but man-made disasters, and he must be talking about this disaster.
Presumably Tai Shuqi came here this time just for this matter.
After lunch, Yan Qingzhao came over, and Tai Shuqi left in a hurry after hearing his report.
