"It's natural. I'm not like some people who hide in the East Palace when something happens. Now that I see something big happening in the East Palace, I just want to leave as soon as possible!"
Rong Hui snorted coldly.
"Since you want to see the Crown Princess, go in quickly. The Crown Princess is not in a good state of mind today, and I'm afraid she will have to rest after lunch!"
Gu Yunqing didn't like Rong Hui. He just felt that this stepdaughter was not only full of pettiness, but also said many things that were not pleasant to listen to.
But after all, we were at the gate of the East Palace. I didn't want to cause gossip to the prince, so I sent my stepdaughter away with a calm expression.
"Yes, I know my mother doesn't like to see me, so I won't stay here to hinder your eyes!"
Rong Hui really didn't show any respect to Gu Yunqing, her stepmother.
After saying this with a sneer, he held the maid's hand and walked inside.
"Okay, hurry up and get in the carriage. If you go there now, you can still rush to the academy for lunch. If you get hungry on the way, there are some of your favorite pastries in it to fill your stomach!"
Gu Yunqing has long been accustomed to her stepdaughter's attitude and doesn't take it seriously.
Rong Jiu saw that her mother didn't care, and her face looked as if nothing had happened.
But after entering the carriage, Taoye noticed the fifth young master's expression and suddenly became cold.
Yes, the fifth young master is the most filial to his wife, how could he allow her to be so disrespected.
However, due to the lessons learned from the previous times, Taoye just didn't realize it. When he saw a food box placed on the low stool fixed at his feet, he bent down and opened it. There were date paste sweet-scented osmanthus cake, gold and silver rolls, and peony in it. cake.
The food box was well sealed, and the hot soup was warm underneath. It was still hot when I opened it, and the aroma was even more fragrant.
"The fifth young master didn't use much for breakfast, why don't you eat some?"
The food box was so heavy that she couldn't lift it, so she took out the gold and silver plate and handed it to Rong Jiu.
"No……"
Just as Rong Jiu was about to wave his hand, the carriage stopped. Tao Ye quickly stabilized herself so that the cake in her hand did not fall.
The carriage only traveled for half a cup of tea, so why did it stop suddenly?
Taoye was a little puzzled and couldn't help but glance at Rong Jiu, but she saw that the fifth young master didn't look worried at all, as if he knew the reason.
"It's easy for me to catch up, but I don't know how to make the carriage go slower!"
Along with the complaints, a crimson figure flashed into the carriage and sat opposite Tao Ye.
"Young Master Pei is so capable. Not to mention the short distance, even if it is further away, he can still catch up!"
Rong Jiu crossed her arms and sneered.
"What's going on? I feel so angry when I hear it!"
"It seems that the injury is indeed very serious. This makes me depressed!"
"Here, let me take your pulse!"
Before he finished speaking, Rong Jiu had already taken hold of Rong Jiu's hand. Rong Jiu didn't stop him and just followed his actions.
"Your recovery is indeed a bit slow!"
After a while, Pei Weinan withdrew his hand.
"I'm fine!"
Hearing this, Rong Jiu glanced at Tao Ye.
Yesterday, I worked hard all day for this little maid, and even forgot to take the medicine. The blood stopped flowing, but the swelling and pain in my back still lingered.
That glance was not obvious. Others looked at it as if his eyes were casually sliding while adjusting his sleeves, but Pei Weinan was very sharp-eyed.
"No wonder it healed so slowly. He was with a beautiful woman, so all his thoughts were spent elsewhere!"
"But even though the beauty is good, you still have to drink this medicine!"
With an exaggerated sigh, a cup appeared in front of Taoye's eyes, which was exactly the same as the one Xingyun sent to the East Palace that day.
I don’t know where this young master Pei took out this cup.
"Little maid, why don't you be more attentive and help your young master take his medicine!"
"If you drink this medicine too late, later..."
"I'll throw you down again!"
Before Tao Ye could reach out, the small white porcelain cup was already in Rong Jiu's hand.
After opening the lid and drinking it in one gulp, Rong Jiu threw the cup at Pei Weinan.
"No, this will cost a lot of money!"
Pei Weinan's sleeves fluttered and he took the cup in his hand, with a look of curiosity on his face, and his eyes looked like he was looking at a stunning beauty.
"Hey, hey, why did you take it away again!"
As soon as the excitement arose, the cup in his hand was taken away.
"Rong Wu, how can you get back what you gave away?"
As Pei Weinan spoke, he already took action to take back the cup.
"I reward you!"
Taoye was afraid that the two of them would cause trouble and bring disaster to Chiyu, so she was hiding aside when something was stuffed in her hand.
"Didn't I say I liked this cup the day before yesterday? This one matches the one you have!"
Rong Jiu looked matter-of-fact, but Taoye was stunned. She said this in front of His Highness the Fifth Young Master in order to cover up for the Fifth Young Master. How could the Fifth Young Master not know.
But there is no way to shirk the reward from the master.
"Thank you, Fifth Young Master!"
"Rong Wu, you are a villain who forgets his friends after seeing sex!"
When the cup was in Tao Ye's hands, Pei Weinan naturally couldn't grab something from a maid's hand, so he could only point at his friend and said angrily.
"Stop talking nonsense, bring me some other medicine!"
Rong Jiu seemed to have not heard anything and said in an instructive tone.
"No! Didn't you say it's okay? Even if something happens, it will only hurt for a few days. Why waste my precious medicine!"
Pei Weinan refused, but turned to Taoye with a pair of peach blossom eyes and said:
"Beauty, why don't you give me that cup? I have many secret recipes for beauty and beauty. Let's exchange them!"
Tao Ye was startled by the face that suddenly came closer. She lowered her head and looked at the white porcelain cup in her hand. Her hand moved as if to pick it up, but before the smile on Pei Weinan's face fully spread, Tao Ye held the cup. Zi stood up and sat next to Rong Jiu.
"Fifth Young Master!"
He looked at Rong Jiu with a frightened expression and let out a soft cry.
"Do you still want those rare medicinal materials of yours?"
Rong Jiu was very pleased to be looked at by Tao Ye with a look of attachment.
"Haha, just kidding, it's getting more and more boring!"
"Take it! Take one pill every day, and within two days you will feel no pain!"
Pei Weinan, who had been poked in his weakness, immediately sat up straight and threw a medicine bottle into Rong Jiu's arms, not forgetting to complain.
…
The carriage Gu Yunqing arranged for his son was very comfortable. When traveling normally, there was almost no bumps.
An hour later, Shouyang Academy arrived.
Pei Weinan got off the carriage first, and Taoye followed Rong Jiu carefully out of the carriage.
"Brother Ajiu, you're here! Mingyue has been waiting for you for a long time!"
As soon as the three of them entered the academy door, a familiar figure flew in front of them.
Taoye hurriedly stepped back and bowed.
"I have met the princess. It is a great honor for me to be welcomed by the princess!"
Pei Weinan smiled and narrowed his peach blossom eyes, and inadvertently glanced at Tao Ye who was retreating.
"This princess is not here to welcome you, but to see Brother Ajiu!"
The bright moon shines brightly.
As he spoke, he was about to take Rong Jiu's arm, but Rong Jiu staggered to the side.
"There are many people here, Mingyue knows!"
When her hand was empty, Mingyue didn't lose her temper and was embarrassed to whisper to Rong Jiu.
"Mingyue, you go back to class first, I have to go to your husband's place!"
Although Rong Jiu was dissatisfied with Mingyue's nonsense in the East Palace yesterday, now that she saw the sister she had loved since childhood, she was relieved of her anger.
