As soon as he finished speaking, the two maids from the East Palace each carried a food box and entered the room.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw this scene. They stopped in a hurry, lowered their heads and did not dare to move.
From their side, Rong Jiu tilted her head slightly, as if she was leaning forward to kiss Tao Ye. They did not expect that in this clear day, Young Master Rong Wu was actually in the house with his maid...
There are so many coincidences today!
Taoye's first reaction was not to let anyone see that she had cried. When she saw someone coming, she leaned against Rong Jiu, and a hand fell on her waist in a moment.
I felt relieved. Fortunately, the fifth young master had the same idea as me.
"Put the food on the table and then step aside!"
Rong Jiu hugged Tao Ye and leaned lazily on it, and said to the two maids.
After hearing this, the two maids hurriedly moved quickly, placed the meals in the food boxes on the table, then bowed their heads and bowed before quickly exiting.
"He's gone, get up and have a meal!"
Rong Jiu let go of the person in his arms.
"Yes, I will serve the young master for dinner!"
He helped Rong Jiu sit down at the table. Tao Ye stood aside and laid out the dishes carefully, serving him very attentively.
"There's no one else here, let's sit down and use it together!"
Although Rong Jiu usually behaves cynically, he is not a person who disregards the rules. The last time he let Tao Ye have a meal together was to let the people in the house know that he "dotes" on this maid. This time, he was just taken care of after seeing the little maid. He said he cried.
After all, the seven-day period has not passed yet, so this little maid is still useful.
"This slave has a low status and dare not sit with his master!"
Taoye put down her chopsticks and stood with her hands tied.
"Are you angry with this young master?"
He meant well, but he had never been so patient with anyone except his mother in recent years.
"I don't dare!"
Taoye felt the anger in Rong Jiu's mouth, lowered her eyes, and was about to kneel on the ground.
"Sit down if I ask you to!"
Rong Jiu lost his patience, and he didn't know if the injury on his back was caused by it just now. It ached faintly, so he reached out and pushed the person to sit next to him.
"Get up and try!"
Seeing Tao Ye move her body, Rong Jiu stopped.
"No, Fifth Young Master, the wound on your back is split!"
Tao Ye frowned and shook her head, holding Rong Jiu's shoulders and exclaimed in surprise.
Although powder was applied to stop the bleeding, Rong Jiu seemed to be lazy when talking to the prince, but in fact he had been tensing up. Just now, he was pulled twice, and the most serious injury started to bleed again.
"What are you yelling about!"
Rong Jiu scolded in a low voice.
"Slave, go and reapply the medicine for you!"
Taoye didn't care that she was still "hurt" and hurriedly took the medicine bottle over. She first wiped away the blood with a handkerchief dipped in water, and then carefully applied the medicine to Rongjiu again.
"Okay, let's wash our hands and eat!"
Seeing the little maid busy serving him, Rong Jiu's anger disappeared.
Taoye didn't give in any more this time and ate seventy percent full while serving food to Rongjiu.
After the meal, Tao Ye took care of her and changed her clothes again. Rong Jiu leaned on the couch again and saw Tao Ye's eyes drifting to the two books on the table from time to time.
"This young master needs to take a nap. Don't go out and walk around. If you're really bored, just look for the books on the shelf to pass the time!"
"Yes, I will wait for you to rest now!"
Taoye's eyes lit up when she heard that she could browse the books on the bookshelf at will. She hurriedly came over and helped Rong Jiu lie down on her side. She was afraid that the carved fence behind would scratch the wound, and placed a few soft pillows carefully behind Rong Jiu's back. Line up.
For some reason, Rong Jiu just let the little maid do what she did. Only when she lay down did she realize that she was not too sleepy.
But it was hard to say this now, so I had to really close my eyes and rest.
At first, she half-closed her eyes to see Taoye reading a book seriously, but then she actually fell asleep.
This time, I slept very peacefully.
After waking up, Rong Jiu had nothing to do, so she asked Tao Ye to bring some books over to read.
Prince Qi Yunlan did not appear again until dinner was over.
Rong Jiu was injured, and asked Tao Ye again in the carriage today, so at night, Rong Jiu fell asleep on the bed, and Tao Ye rested on the couch. The next day, the two maids took the toilet When Dongxi entered the room and saw Taoye who had just gotten up from the couch, he thought about it for a moment.
After all, Young Master Rong Wu is a son of the noble family. Although he went too far in promiscuity during the day, the general rules are still good. How can a common roommate have the right to spend the night in the master's bed.
Taoye didn't know what the two of them were thinking, so she served Rongjiu with breakfast, applied medicine, put on the light brown brocade robe with bamboo branches that she picked yesterday, and the two of them went to the garden.
There are two gardens in the East Palace. The two gardens are next to each other, but one is in the front yard and the other is in the back yard.
The backyard was full of female relatives from the Prince's Mansion. Rong Jiu was a man, so he could only hang out in the front yard.
The East Palace is very large. In addition to the main hall where the prince and subordinate officials discuss matters, the largest area in the front yard is this extremely beautifully built garden.
Especially the small maple forest in the northeast corner is now dazzlingly red.
"Go for a walk over there!"
The injury on Rong Jiu's back hurt even more today, but he didn't want to stay in the house, and he couldn't show it in front of the little maid at the moment, so he wanted to sit in the pavilion in the northeast corner.
"Master, be careful!"
When Taoye applied medicine to Rong Jiu, she also discovered that the injury on her back had been going on all night, and it was even more terrifying. She had suffered the stick injury before, but the stick the man used to hit him with his teeth was not that thick at that time. After all, If you beat someone to death, you don't have to pay for it in your own hands.
But even with a stick as thick as her thumb, she was in so much pain that she couldn't sleep at night.
To get to the pavilion, you have to pass through a cobblestone path against the wall.
Taoye looked down at the road carefully while supporting Rong Jiu.
"Is the matter done?"
In the silence, a thin voice suddenly came.
Taoye looked around subconsciously, but Rong Jiu took a step back briskly.
Immediately, a pair of big hands covered his mouth, but the movement on the hand was very gentle and he quickly retracted it.
Just a reminder to silence.
"Don't worry, father-in-law, the two of us worked hard all night last night, so we will definitely not miss out on our business trip!"
Taoye recognized the voice of the chamberlain.
"That's good. Liang Di has also arranged for someone to be with the Crown Princess. Your reward will be indispensable when the matter is accomplished!"
Another sympathetic voice from the chamberlain sounded, and Taoye felt uncomfortable all over.
But she didn't dare to move. The carved stone window was three steps away from them, and the slightest movement would be noticed.
Several more footsteps came from the other side of the wall, and Taoye held her breath even more.
"Eunuch Cao, Liangdi is looking for you for something, please come over quickly!"
"I'm going right away!"
"You go out later and don't let anyone see us together!"
"Don't worry, father-in-law, we are counting!"
After the man who was called Eunuch Cao left, it was another half-quarter of an hour before the two green-clothed eunuchs left.
After it was completely quiet over there, Taoye breathed out.
