Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 991 It’s a matter of course
Tusheer also heard the teasing in her words and immediately became anxious: "What are you talking about, Princess!"

As she spoke, as if to express her "dissatisfaction", she, who had originally been sitting at Shang Ruyi's feet with her knees hugged, simply moved to the window and sat with her back to Shang Ruyi.

Seeing her like this, Shang Ruyi smiled so hard that his eyes curved up, and he reached out and patted her: "Are you angry?"

"Humph!"

Tusheer twisted his arm to prevent her from touching him.

If it were any other palace maid, she would definitely not dare to lose her temper with her master like this, but Shang Ruyi has always been easygoing. Besides, Tushe'er and she grew up together. Although the sisterhood is not on everyone's lips, it exists in everyone's heart. So when Tushe'er lost her temper with her at this time, she did not get angry, but just smiled and said, "Oh, are you really angry?"

Chang Wan was watching from the side, and at this time she chuckled and said, "My heart is with the princess, and I just want to stay by her side and serve her. I have absolutely no other thoughts."

Then she looked at Tusheer and said, "Right?"

Tusheer then turned around and looked at her sympathetically for a while, then glared at Shang Ruyi angrily. Shang Ruyi was amused by her childish look and laughed, saying, "Okay, I know I wronged you."

Tusheer turned away again: "Humph!"

Shang Ruyi said: "Alas, why are you still angry even though I know I have wronged you? Could it be that I have not wronged you?"

Tusheer turned his head even more.

Shang Ruyi said impatiently: "If you have something to say, please speak clearly and stop being so shy. It's annoying to watch!"

Hearing her say this, Tusheer stopped being pretentious and turned around to look at her and said, "Who are you taking with you to Luoyang this time, Princess?"

After hearing this, Shang Ruyi finally understood why she had been feeling awkward along the way.

There are three senior palace maids around him. Tushe'er is loyal, bold and careful, and she mainly serves him personally. Changwan is the one left to Yuwen Ye by Guan Furen. She is gentle, firm, steady and cautious. She mainly serves Yuwen Ye on weekdays. When he is away, she and Tushe'er manage the internal affairs of Qianqiu Palace together. Woxue is the youngest of the three palace maids, and because of her background, she has the least to do things, but once Shang Ru unexpectedly goes out, especially when facing danger, she will be the most useful.

It was Shang Ruyi who led her in the previous dangerous battle of Fufeng.

This time they were going to Luoyang, and they had to relieve the crisis in Xiazhou first, so they might face more dangers. Shang Ruyi naturally wanted to take her with him. Tusheer had obviously thought of this, so she started to make trouble along the way.

So Shang Ruyi glanced at her and asked, "Who do you want me to take with you?"

"..."

"I'll take you there. Can you ride a horse and wield a sword?"

Tushe'er, who was somewhat unconvinced, was speechless after just one sentence. Riding a horse was a difficult thing for her, not to mention how to protect Shang Ruyi when encountering danger. Even if she risked her life, she was afraid that she could not protect anything. But she knew that in Fufeng, Woxue was able to fight for Shang Ruyi's life in the fire.

So she pouted and muttered to herself without saying anything. Shang Ruyi glared at her unhappily, but Chang Wan smiled and said softly, "She'er, stay here. It would be great if we could go together."

"..."

"The princess is gone, but the little prince is still here. Should we take good care of him?"

"..."

"Although Aunt Hui is dead, the situation in the palace is unclear. I don't know how many eyes are staring at Qianqiu Palace. If they have any evil intentions again, who can take good care of the little prince?"

Upon hearing this, Tusheer's eyes immediately lit up.

Seeing her like this, Shang Ruyi pursed her lips and suppressed the smile that was about to be concealed at the corner of her lips - in fact, after getting rid of Han Yuhui, although she knew that she had offended the emperor and the prince, Yuan Qian was the emperor's eldest grandson after all, and even if Yuwen Yuan was angry with her, he would not blame Yuan Qian; as for the prince, after losing Han Yuhui, he had no room to intervene in the palace - in fact, judging from his attitude afterwards, Shang Ruyi more or less understood that it was Han Yuhui and the Crown Princess who acted on their own to poison Yuan Qian. After all, as the prince, he knew very well what the emperor's reverse scale was.

That was why she dared to propose to Yuwen Yuan that she would go to Xiazhou to relieve the crisis.

In fact, the reason why he had to put Han Yuhui to death was that Shang Ruyi had already had a vague estimate in his mind after receiving the first letter from Princess Qiancheng.

Now, everything has come to fruition.

Chang Wan said these words, not only to coax the silly girl Tushe'er, but also to express her feelings to Shang Ruyi. She knew that when the princess was traveling, only Woxue was the most suitable person to stay with her to protect her, so she would not have to follow her. She also understood that they could not live lazily if they stayed in the palace. There were so many eyes inside and outside the palace staring at Qianqiu Palace. Even if they, as servants, made some mistakes, they might be used as excuses.

After hearing Chang Wan's words, Tushe'er finally came to her senses. She nodded gently, but still frowned at Shang Ruyi, looking like she was being unreasonable. Shang Ruyi had no choice but to shake his head and smile bitterly and let her go.

After returning to Qianqiu Palace, Shang Ruyi tidied himself up a bit and, just like the previous two days, personally accompanied Yuan Qian in playing and laughing.

Since the child grew teeth, he has been more lively than before, like an energetic puppy. No matter where he is placed, he will keep crawling forward on all fours. Sometimes he can even stand up and walk a few steps by himself, holding on to the edge of the table in the corner. Because of this, he can get more things, and often grab things on the table and put them into his mouth when no one is paying attention. The most frightening time was when Shang Ruyi didn't see it clearly, and he actually grabbed the candle and took a bite. Fortunately, the taste was bad and he didn't swallow it, but he got a mouthful of wax residue, which made everyone pry open his mouth and dig for a long time before it was clean.

Shang Ruyi has been accompanying his son every day these days and sleeping with him at night, because he knows that he will be away for a while again.

Moreover, it was much longer than the previous few days when he was confined to Chengqian Palace and could not meet.

Yuan Qian felt so wronged that time. If she could really leave this time, it would take at least a few months. When she comes back, I'm afraid this child won't be so easy to coax.

Just when Shang Ruyi was trying very hard to make up for it, someone outside came to report -

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Upon hearing the news, everyone in Qianqiu Palace was shocked. Since Han Yuhui's death, except for the time when Shang Ruyi took Yuan Qian to Liangyi Palace to meet the emperor, he had never been here again. Why did he suddenly come today?
Everyone hurriedly stood up to greet him. As soon as Shang Ruyi walked to the door of the hall, he saw Yuwen Yuan walking in slowly with his hands behind his back.

Shang Ruyi immediately knelt down and saluted: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father!"
