Chapter 493: The tea-splitting and cunning woman
"Miss, Uncle Zhongyi has sent a greeting card from his residence. Your mother and two aunts want to come and visit you tomorrow." The
servants of the mansion handed the greeting card to Wei Ruo.
Because Wei Ruo didn't like others to call her Princess, so in the backyard of the palace, when no outsiders were around, the servants would all call Wei Ruo "Miss".
Wei Ruo picked up the greeting card, looked at it twice, sneered and threw it aside.
"Miss, madam, why do they come to see you at this time?" Xiumei asked.
"Why did they come to see me? I'm afraid they just went to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason." Wei Ruodao.
Although the greeting card was full of mother's love for her daughter and her family's concern for her as a married woman, Wei Ruo remained unmoved at all.
"Miss, we can't see them anymore!" Xiumei said.
"I would like to meet them. If they come to see me at this time, or the three of them come together, there must be something going on. I want to see what kind of medicine they are selling in their gourds, and know who I am and what I am doing." Wei Ruodao.
Wei Ruo handed the greeting card to the servant who came to deliver the message and asked her to reply to the person from the Wei family who came to send the greeting card.
On the second day, the three sisters-in-law, Mo, Bai, and Yun, dressed in rich costumes, arrived at Prince Rui's Mansion in a carriage together.
The servants of the palace led him to the backyard garden of the palace.
In the pavilion next to the waterside pavilion, Wei Ruozheng was sitting at the table.
Wearing a goose-yellow skirt embroidered with gold and flowers, and her hair half-up and half-up, she looks a bit elegant and a bit lazy.
There was a tea set on the table, and water was boiling in the stove next to it, with white steam lingering above the stove.
Mo, Bai, and Yun were brought to the pavilion.
"See you, Princess."
The three of them stood in front of the table. Wei Ruo didn't even raise his head, he just said to the three of them: "Sit down."
Three chairs happened to be placed opposite Wei Ruo.
Mrs. Mo found a seat and sat down with some embarrassment.
Bai did not sit down immediately, but said to Wei Ruo with a smile on her face: "Princess, my wife, you have become more and more radiant after not seeing me for a few days!" Wei Ruo chuckled lightly and put aside the purple clay pot that had just been brewed
. .
Raising his head and smiling vaguely, Wei Ruo said: "Second Aunt, please don't say those things that are against your will. Why don't you come to me today and tell the truth straight to the point!" Bai Shi immediately replied: "Princess Princess, you are so
beautiful I misunderstood you. You have been married to the palace for some time. As my mother's family, we come to visit you and care about you. This is what we should do." Wei Ruo's smile did not diminish: "Really? Then don't ask for the
second aunt today. Make any request with me, otherwise I will think that what you just said was a lie."
The smile on Bai's face suddenly froze.
"This... eldest niece..."
"There is a difference between superiority and inferiority. Second aunt still has to address me as 'Princess Concubine'."
Wei Ruo interrupted Bai's speech.
Bai's expression was even worse. Within just a few minutes, her face had changed from a smile to a look of sullenness.
Wei Ruoze still looked calm and calm.
"Sit down." Wei Ruo said to Bai and Yun again.
Bai had a look of reluctance, but thinking that she wanted to ask Wei Ruo for today, she sat down obediently. Mrs. Yun also took a seat, and then looked at Wei Ruo with burning eyes.
Every move my daughter makes while making tea is dignified and elegant, slim and graceful.
"Ruo'er, how are you doing in the palace these days?" Yun asked in a warm voice.
"I have good clothes and good food, I open my mouth and stretch out my hands when I have food, I am unconstrained and free. I don't know how much better it is than before I left the cabinet." Wei Ruo replied.
"That's good..." Yunshi slowly lowered her eyelids.
There was a moment of silence, and Wei Ruo continued to brew tea unhurriedly and placed the brewed tea in front of the three of them.
Mrs. Mo had a calm temperament, and she was even more silent now. She only whispered "Thank you" when Wei Ruo put the tea in front of her.
Both Mo and Yun were silent, and Bai was very anxious. Sure enough, these two people were of no use, and she was still needed!
Bai Shi smiled again: "Princess, I heard that there is a miracle doctor in Prince Rui's house. I wonder if it is true?" "
What does it have to do with you whether it is true or not?" Wei Ruo asked and raised his eyebrows.
"Princess, what you said..." Bai could no longer laugh, her face was filled with embarrassment, but she still held on.
"Aren't the two aunts and my mother here today to visit and care about me? Since they are here to visit and care about me, it doesn't seem to matter who is in the palace, right?" Wei Ruo asked a series of questions that made Bai Shi dumb
. Speechless.
She could only reply awkwardly: "Princess, it's true that we are here to visit the princess, but there are indeed some things that we want to trouble the princess with."
Wei Ruo did not respond immediately, with a slight smile on his lips and a look on his face. He looked at Bai Shi in a playful manner.
Bai continued: "You must have heard about the injury of Mr. Qi, the concubine. Mr. Qi is looking for famous doctors everywhere to treat Mr. Qi's injuries. If there happens to be a famous doctor in Prince Rui's house, you might as well ask him to treat Mr. Qi. Lord Qi will accept Prince Rui's love."
Wei Ruo burst into laughter.
Bai was embarrassed and asked, "What are you laughing at, Princess?"
"Why does my dignified Prince Rui need to accept his love for Qi Yansong?"
"Well... Princess, you need to understand things more clearly and don't be obsessed with the title of Princess. On top of the glory it brings."
Bai Shi thought to herself, don't you know how much your princess weighs?
In recent years, the emperor missed Empress Xu and handed over a large number of affairs to the cabinet. As the chief minister of the cabinet, Master Qi therefore held great power.
A short-lived prince with no real power may not necessarily have more status than the chief minister.
"What? After hearing what the second aunt said, you still look down on me, the princess? What role do you have to say such a thing?" Wei Ruo asked Bai.
"Princess, please calm down, that's not what I meant..." Bai Shi hurriedly explained.
"What do you mean if you don't mean that?"
"Princess, my wife, I am saying this for your own good. Look at the situation of the prince..." Bai's last words were not clear, but the meaning was already expressed.
Wei Ruo had heard the same rhetoric more than once. Over and over again, she felt that King Rui would die sooner or later, and the country would fall into the hands of King Yu and the Qi family sooner or later. She was urged to curry favor with the Qi family while she still had some use value.
Wei Ruo sneered, then picked up the teacup on the table and threw it in Bai's face.
Bai was still thinking of words of persuasion when a cold bowl of tea was poured on her face.
Tea leaves stuck to her hair and face, and water stains made her unable to open her eyes.
After Mrs. Bai wiped her face, she looked at Wei Ruo in astonishment: "You...how did you..."
