"You are really sympathetic now. Do you still remember that at the old lady's birthday party, you were hiding from Miss Xie as if you were hiding something, but you didn't expect that you would marry her the next day?"
Qi Yunlan took a look into the box and saw that it was all for women.
"The workmanship of this cup is exquisite. It's rare to see such thin white porcelain in Guzhou!"
Taoye's heart skipped a beat when she saw that the white porcelain cup on the table that was not yet dry was about to be taken into the hands of the prince.
"Back to Your Highness, this cup and the sachet in the box were given to me by the fifth young master. I like it very much. I play with it every day and put it on the dressing table. I think the maids used it as jewelry when they were packing. Bring them together!"
The cup has only been washed once, so if you smell it carefully, it will definitely have a smell.
"Talk too much!"
Rong Jiu glanced at Tao Ye.
"Your Highness is just taking a look, how can I snatch anything from you!"
"I know my mistake!"
Tao Ye softened her voice, glanced at Rong Jiu with a pink face, and knelt on the ground.
"You have a pretty good appearance. No wonder you didn't like the two maids my mother gave you earlier. They are indeed not as good as this one!"
Qi Yunlan smiled and took his hand back. As a dignified prince, he would naturally not touch the love object of a lowly wife.
"But you used to say that you were not good at this. Now that you have accepted a wife, it would be inappropriate to leave the two that the mother gave to you. The mother was very sad because of this matter, and she blamed herself for the person she chose. None of it suits you."
"Qingxing and the others came out of the palace, inevitably a little arrogant, but the rules are good. Even if you don't like what you do, it is given by the elders after all!"
When Qi Yunlan said this, his eyes flashed across Tao Ye's face.
Tao Ye hurriedly frowned and lowered her eyes.
His Royal Highness seems to know what happened in the fifth young master’s yard!
"I will obey His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's wishes!"
Rong Jiu reluctantly made a hand-over gesture on the couch.
"Okay, you are slandering Gu Nao in your heart again! Just mentioned the old lady's birthday, where did you go? No one else knows, but I know your drinking capacity, but those few glasses of pear blossom white can make you drunk. Have to fall into the river?”
"What's even more strange is that the fourth child has never dealt with you, but that day he took the initiative to talk to you!"
Hearing the prince mention what happened on his birthday night, Tao Ye twisted the handkerchief in his hand slightly.
"The day before my birthday, I went out for a drink with the eldest son of the Pei family. He told me that he had just returned from the academy and must take up the good work of the wind and wash the dust. He drank a lot of peach blossoms and was in high spirits the next day. After drinking a few I can’t hold back the cup!”
"As for the fourth prince, he probably got excited after drinking too much. He yelled a few words casually, or he might be trying to find bad luck. He always likes to associate with those scornful scholars, so he doesn't like us dandy kids!"
When the fourth prince was mentioned, Rong Jiu showed some disdain on his face, and his displeasure was clear.
"What a sour scholar? It's called making friends with scribes. After all, he is the prince whom my father loves so much. Don't keep confronting him!"
Qi Yunlan scolded lightly.
"Your Highness, it's time for lunch!"
"Several guests are still waiting in the flower hall!"
Seeing that it was already late, Sun An stepped forward and softly reported.
"Ajiu will come with you too?"
Qi Yunlan was always gentle and courteous to the people under him, so he couldn't do anything to make people wait for him hungry, so he quickly got up from the couch.
"I'm not familiar with them, so I don't want to talk to them. Cousin, I'd better go on your own!"
Rong Jiu waved his hand casually and leaned even more lazily.
"I know you are reluctant, but it doesn't matter. You are still hurt now, and it would be difficult for you to carry it in the past. Sun An, ask the kitchen to send some of Ajiu's favorite food!"
Qi Yunlan didn't force himself, gave Sun An instructions and walked out the door.
"You just reminded me too late, young master, please punish me!"
When they left the courtyard, Guiyun knelt in front of the bed and lowered his head to apologize.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not let the people outside the door inform him. When he saw them, they had already entered the courtyard. Fortunately, the young master was smart.
"Get up!"
Rong Jiu didn't mean to blame him. The East Palace was not his own territory, and he had to be cautious in doing many things.
"Thank you, Master!"
Even so, Guiyun still looked ashamed, and he and Xingyun returned to guard the door.
"Fifth Young Master, drink a glass of water to moisten your mouth!"
Thinking that the man in front of him had just taken a big mouthful of bitter soup and his mouth must be very uncomfortable, Taoye poured a glass of water and handed it to him.
Rarely receiving a look of approval, Rong Jiu took the teacup, tilted her neck and drank it all in one gulp.
The frown slowly relaxed: "Pour another one!"
Taoye quickly went over and poured another glass.
"Anything you want to ask?"
After drinking two glasses of water, Rong Jiu felt that the bitter and nauseating feeling had subsided.
"I don't dare. If the young master feels that he needs me to know, he will definitely tell me. If he thinks that I can't know, I can't think about it or ask about it!"
Taoye remembered that yesterday, when the fifth young master kissed her, she also tasted the smell of medicine, but at that time, she was startled by the sudden appearance of the fifth young master, and the two of them separated after their lips and teeth touched.
She just thought it was her own illusion.
"That night, I accidentally got into someone else's trap. The medicine was extremely overbearing. To completely cure it, I can only take the medicine for seven days in a row!"
"Didn't you guess it a long time ago, or else you wouldn't be so proactive that night!"
Rong Jiu is a well-known dandy in Shengjing. He hangs out with his disciples all day long, chatting in a lot of non-vegetarian ways. He has never done anything like that with a woman, and has never heard of it.
When a woman has sex for the first time, any woman is shy and timid, and needs to be rejected a few times. This little maid is really good. She used all her strength to pester her that night, which saved her a lot of effort.
"This slave does not..."
Nuo Nuo's voice sounded. The situation that day did not allow her to be shy.
However, she did see that Rong Jiu was drugged, so she allowed her body to be taken over.
She had no other choice. If she yelled on the spot, the fifth young master's appearance would be seen by others, and there was a red ribbon in the room, what would she be able to lose?
A woman's innocence is important, but it is not as important as her own life.
The corners of Taoye's eyes were reddish, and her eyelashes were moist. She lowered her head desperately to prevent others from seeing the expression on her face.
"Ahem, this young master is just a joke..."
Rong Jiu coughed twice.
No matter how smart the little maid is, she is still a woman. She will naturally feel ashamed when she mentions that matter.
But it was better not to say this. When Taoye said it, it seemed that he couldn't bear it any longer. His nose twitched, and a very faint sound of crying came from under the drooped head.
Rong Jiu didn't expect that this little maid, who was usually very serious and efficient in doing things, would make people cry with just one sentence.
If this was the woman next to him, he would have driven her away long ago, but for the woman in front of him, he really couldn't just drive her away.
"Stop crying!"
Rong Jiu reached out to pull her, but Tao Ye didn't resist, just being held in his arms.
But this head was still lowered. Rong Jiu had no choice but to reach out and lift her chin. Surprisingly, her face was not stained with tears. It seemed that the tears were stored in her eyes, and the corners of her eyes were very red.
With his chin lifted, he could see everything at a glance. Taoye wanted to move but couldn't, so he raised his eyelids slightly and his wet eyelashes shone slightly.
In Rong Jiu's eyes, this look made her look even more charming.
My body felt hot and I quickly opened my eyes.
This medicine has no effect at all today.
"Master Rong, lunch has been delivered!"
