"It was my slave who disturbed the young master yesterday!"
Taoye responded in a low voice, looked up and saw the green and black under Rong Jiu's eyes and quickly lowered her head, but her body was very close to Rong Jiu, and her soft hair brushed against Rong Jiu as she raised and lowered. Jiu's chest makes people feel a little itchy.
"Nothing, I just thought about other things last night and went to bed late!"
Rong Jiu's overly cold voice sounded in Tao Ye's ears.
Both of them woke up. Although it was still early, Rong Jiu didn't want to continue lying down.
"My face looks much better!"
Taoye helped Rong Jiu change clothes, and inevitably got closer when tying her belt.
Rong Jiu was a little surprised. The little maid was still very sick yesterday, but today her face was already a little pink, as if she had recovered from her sleep.
"Thanks to the young master's care yesterday, this slave had such a good rest!"
The couch was not as comfortable as the bed, so Tao Ye thanked her sincerely.
Rong Jiu felt comfortable after hearing this. He had indeed "paid" a lot yesterday to let the little maid have a good rest.
"Put your things away today!"
Such a big thing has happened in the East Palace. It is a place of right and wrong and it is not suitable to stay for a long time.
The prince will not stop him from saying farewell now.
But before Rong Jiu went to say goodbye to the prince, Gu Yunqing came after breakfast.
"Mother, why are you here?"
"This slave has met Madam!"
Taoye was reading inside, but when she heard the noise, she quickly put the book back on the shelf and came out to see the gift.
"The news outside is spreading like crazy, how can I stay still!"
The Crown Princess of the East Palace and Liang Di were both pregnant at the same time, and the news spread throughout the Gaomen Mansion in the capital that day.
The prince has a weakness because he does not have a high-status heir from his mother's family. Previously, the prince and Wei Liangdi were pregnant at almost the same time, which was a double blessing. Even the emperor's attitude towards the prince was much better.
Gu Yunqing and his eldest sister have had a deep relationship since childhood. After hearing the news, they were really worried for the queen and her son, but the most worried thing was the son who was in the East Palace.
"Did mother come here today to visit the Crown Princess?"
"Already been there!"
Gu Yunqing couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she thought of seeing Zheng's haggard and pale appearance in the palace just now.
But when I think about Zheng's selfishness, how many times he wanted to make Rong Yue the heir apparent, that pity will never come out.
"You look so bad, are the injuries on your body getting better?"
When Gu Yunqing saw his son, he had already forgotten about the others. Looking closer, his son's eyes were completely blue and black, and there was unconcealable exhaustion on his face.
"How do you serve these servants?"
When Taoye heard this, she knew something was wrong. The fifth young master was the lifeblood of the madam. The madam was usually friendly and kind, but when it came to the young master,...
"Taoye, how do you serve the fifth young master?"
Seeing his son's appearance, Gu Yunqing looked dissatisfied at Tao Ye, who was standing beside him with his head bowed.
She trusted this maid so much, but she didn't expect that she was useless.
"It's my slave's fault, please punish me, madam!"
Taoye didn't defend herself, she knelt on her knees and kowtowed neatly to plead guilty.
"Mom, this little maid almost died yesterday. It's not easy for you to see anyone today!"
Rong Jiu didn't mention how well Tao Ye served him, but said casually.
"die?"
Gu Yunqing looked confused.
"This maid can't touch persimmons. When the bright moon came last night, this maid was so honest that she didn't know how to say a word for fear of offending others, but her son was shocked!"
Rong Jiu's tone was quite relaxed, as if only one trivial thing happened yesterday.
"You look a little bad! Get up. Since there are other things going on, I can't blame you!"
Although Gu Yunqing is a doting son, he will not criticize his servants unreasonably. Gu Yunqing also knows her niece's temperament, and she will never tolerate others going against her will.
"Thank you Madam for your generosity!"
Although Taoye was a little surprised why the fifth young master only mentioned this matter, she was still relieved.
"But with such a big thing happening in the East Palace, it must be a mess. In the mansion... you'd better go to the academy earlier!"
According to Gu Yunqing's thoughts, he naturally wanted to take his son back to his mansion to recuperate, but now the mansion was very chaotic, so it was better for his son to go to the academy to relax.
"What happened in the house? Did the father make things difficult for the mother after his son left?"
Taoye felt a little cold when she heard the fifth young master's voice, and felt a little worried. Could it be that Aunt Luo and the eldest young master were still clinging to this matter.
Although she is now hiding with the fifth young master, she will still return to the house in the future.
"Your father came back from the palace yesterday, and for some reason, he went to Luo's place to cause a scene, and even banned Rong Ying in his own yard!"
"And your grandmother doesn't know where she heard it. Your father was reprimanded by His Majesty in the palace, so he came to me and uttered a lot of words!"
"But don't worry, with your aunt the queen here, your grandmother will only scold me a few times and not dare to really embarrass me!"
Gu Yunqing has a straightforward temperament, and he was raised with a noble family in the Yongning Marquis Mansion. He is not as good as Duke Jingguo's first wife who humbled herself in front of her mother-in-law and served her attentively. Since they got married, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have not dealt with her and have often been embarrassed. However, after His Majesty ascends the throne, , Mother-in-law didn’t dare to go too far.
"That's good!"
Rong Jiu felt relieved.
"Don't worry about mother, the things you brought to the academy have been prepared. They are on the carriage outside. The prince's mother also said this when she met her just now!"
Gu Yunqing was most resolute when it came to his son.
"Okay, son, listen to his mother!"
Rong Jiu understood her mother's temperament and was not surprised that carriages were waiting at the gate of the East Palace.
"Slave, go pack your things immediately!"
Taoye bowed and retreated.
She was a quick worker and didn't have many things, so she had everything ready in less than a quarter of an hour.
Rong Jiu supported Gu as he walked in front, Tao Ye followed behind, and Xing Yun and Gui Yun carried a box behind.
Sure enough, an extremely spacious carriage was already parked at the door.
Before getting on the carriage, Gu Yunqing still felt uneasy after thinking about it. He asked a few more questions about his son's injury and told Taoye to take good care of him.
Rong Jiu listened patiently.
"Don't worry, mother, your son will be back home by the next holiday!"
The mother and son said goodbye, and when they were about to get in the car, a gorgeous and flamboyant carriage stopped next to them.
Seeing the mark of Mao Guo Duke's Mansion above, Rong Jiu's eyes turned cold for a moment, and Gu also frowned slightly.
"Where are mother and fifth brother going? Why didn't fifth brother come to the East Palace to recover from his injuries? Why did he just stay for one night and then leave! This East Palace is really a good place. Fifth brother's injury healed so quickly!"
Taoye looked at the people who had arrived and saluted: "Mrs. Crown Prince!"
Rong Hui, the eldest daughter of Duke Jing Guo's first wife, is said to look like her mother, but Tao Ye feels that the resemblance is just in appearance.
Rong Hui is not tall, has a slender figure, and her facial features are not outstanding. She can only be considered pretty. However, Xu's usual words and deeds are mean, which ruins even her beauty.
Only acrimony remains.
"The eldest sister is here to visit the Crown Princess, right? The Crown Princess is in need of comfort from her sibling, the eldest sister!"
There was that lazy smile on Rong Jiu's face again, but Tao Ye always felt that underneath this smile, there was some interest in watching a show.
