The mad concubine of ancient martial arts who traveled through time

Chapter 257
Mu Xuelin's face instantly turned purple when she heard the words, and Fu Que was overjoyed, and she chimed in and said, "That's right, those who serve by His Royal Highness don't understand this bit of etiquette! The princess rewarded you, come and kowtow to thank you soon !" Mu Xuelin clenched her teeth tightly and said, "Miss Liu is not a princess yet!"

"That's not something you can offend!" A male voice came from outside the door, and Ruan Zhuqi saw that it was Ren Gang.Mu Xuelin's face was pale, and she timidly rubbed against Ren Gang's side: "His... Your Highness..." Ren Gang threw off Mu Xuelin unceremoniously, kept a certain distance from her, and said coldly: "How about you?" Don't apologize to Miss Liu!"

Mu Xuelin blushed, looked at Ren Gang pitifully, and the eyes were flooded with crystal water.Ren Gang turned a blind eye to her, still facing her with a cold face, seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, he couldn't help frowning and glaring at her.Tears welled up in Mu Xuelin's eyes, she knelt down in front of Ruan Zhuqi with great reluctance, and said with a choked voice: "Xuelin is innocent, please forgive me, Miss Liu."

"Hmph!" Fu Que snorted shamelessly, and was warned by Ruan Zhuqi's eyes.Ruan Zhuqi said indifferently: "Mrs. Mu is too polite, and this matter will be for His Highness's sake." Mu Xuelin said "Thank you" in an inappropriate way, got up and ran behind Ren Gang, took out a handkerchief and wiped it. tears.

"Mrs. Mu? Are you also considered a wife?" Ren Gang said coldly, pointing to Feng Xiaolian who was beside Mu Xuelin, and said, "From today onwards, your food and clothing costs are the same as hers, no matter how dare you If you overstep, get out of the prince's territory." The tone of these words was not serious, but the disgust was conveyed to everyone who heard it.With tears in her eyes, Mu Xuelin gave Ren Gang a resentful look, and then ran away.

It was only then that Ruan Zhuqi noticed that a group of good-natured people gathered outside the shop at some point, pointing fingers at her, and whispering in private without knowing what they were talking about.But from their expressions, Ruan Zhuqi faintly felt that they were saying bad things about her.Ren Gang walked into Ruan Zhuqi, opened the brocade box that Yun Xiang was holding in her hand, and said, "Although this piece of warm jade is also high-quality, it is not as good as the one that Nanhai paid tribute to this year. If it is another day, I will send someone to pick it up." Come, send it to the General's Mansion..."

"His Royal Highness, Liu Xu appreciates it. It's just that Liu Xu dare not accept this tribute." Ruan Zhuqi motioned for Yun Xiang to hand over the brocade box to Ren Gang, "Liu Xu has promised to give this jade pillow to Mrs. Mu, please. Your Highness conveyed it on your behalf. Liu Xu and sister-in-law will leave first!" Ren Gang stood where he was, watching Ruan Zhuqi go further and further, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

Although the people on the street were slowly dispersing, Ruan Zhuqi still felt their malicious eyes on her. "Fu Que, what's going on? What are they talking about?" Ruan Zhuqi originally asked casually in annoyance, but Fu Que's expression immediately became weird. At that moment, Ruan Zhuqi understood in her heart, and said, "If you still treat me as a sister, you shouldn't." Something is hiding from me!"

There was a flash of struggle in Fu Que's eyes. She glanced at Ruan Zhuqi's serious expression, bit her lips and said, "Sister, I don't know. There are good people in Ye City these days. It is widely rumored that His Royal Highness is entangled with my sister." Ruan Zhuqi frowned and asked: " There must be a reason for the rumors, you must have something else that you haven't told me!"

Fu Qu stomped her feet and said bitterly: "It's that poisonous woman Xin Mei'an! She caused everything!" Ruan Zhuqi looked at Fu Qu suspiciously, and Fu Qu went on to say, "After Xin Mei An poisoned my sister, Sister Lan moved in His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness was furious, and ordered his father to suppress the Xingyang Xin Clan. I heard that if the males of the Xin family resisted, they would be killed, and the rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled would be used as official slaves; All the daughters of the Xin family were sent to the official kilns. Xin Meian was tortured day after day in the prison, and her screams came from the prison every night..."

Ruan Zhuqi went back and thought about it, and felt that although Ren Gang did this a bit too much, it was Xin Meian's own fault, and she didn't need much sympathy. If she were the fourth uncle, she would definitely do the same.Thinking about it this way, the only thing bothering her is the raging scandal with Ren Gang.Ruan Zhuqi can assure you that she and Ren Gang are innocent, and there is no one who is more innocent than them, but who are you going to tell this to?She smiled lightly, it doesn't matter, anyway, if she doesn't care, no one will care about it.

After a few days at home like this, the young man at the gate came to inform that there were guards from the inner palace outside the door, saying that there was something to give to Miss Liu.Ruan Zhuqi thought, it must be that Ren Gang said that he would give her something.She really didn't want to accept this gift, because she always had the feeling that Ren Gang was showing off in front of her that his Gao family's royal family was much richer than her Ruan Wen's family.Although the truth is true, she is still a princess of a country, so it is not very honorable to always admit these things in disguise.

Thinking about it this way, Ruan Zhuqi decided to refuse in person, even though it was only a guard.She was also glad that it was only a guard who came, because she was not sure that she could return the things directly to Ren Gang.Ruan Zhuqi followed the porter's boy to the door, and saw the guards sent by Ren Gang, who looked delicate and handsome, um, they were still small.Or rather, this is a child.

This trick is really ruthless, Ruan Zhuqi swallowed all the noble and glamorous rejection lines that she had prepared before seeing this little person in front of her.The little guard blinked his big black eyes, and looked at Ruan Zhuqi pitifully, as if if she didn't accept the gift, he would be bullied miserably when he returned. "Is it Miss Liu Xu?" The little guard looked at Ruan Zhuqi expectantly.

Ruan Zhuqi nodded with a dark face, and the little guard smiled, showing two rows of white teeth, and said, "Your Highness asked me to give something to Miss, please accept it quickly!" As he said, he held the brocade box with both hands in a serious manner.Ruan Zhuqi glanced at him, cleared her throat, roughly thought about how to refuse in her mind, and was about to speak when she saw a bright red cloak fluttering in the wind not far away.This person is not Qian Ao, who else could it be?

Thinking of this, Ruan Zhuqi was furious again, turned to face the little guard with a smile, took the brocade box, deliberately modified her voice to be shy, and said: "So, I will be in trouble, little brother! Your Highness, do you have something for the little brother to bring to you?" Me?" The red cloak not far away visibly shook, and so did the little brother in front of him.The little guard felt a little weird, which was different from what His Highness explained before going out; His Highness clearly said that Miss Liu would not accept it easily, and would stalk her at that time.Sapo rolled and stuffed the things into Miss Liu's hands, but now... the little guard had a thought in his heart: Could it be that he gave it to the wrong person!Thinking about it, he looked at Ruan Zhuqi vigilantly, put his hand on the handle of the knife, and asked, "Are you really Miss Liu?" Ruan Zhuqi laughed a few times, and said shyly, "I'm not, am I Are you? Little brother is so cute, what's your name?"

wrong!wrong!It must have been sent to the wrong person, the little guard strengthened his mind, snatched the brocade box back when Ruan Zhuqi was unprepared, held it tightly in his arms, and shouted: "You are not Miss Liu! This thing must be given to Miss Liu Why are you pretending to be Miss Liu to deceive me! There is no way to cheat this treasure from me!"

Ruan Zhuqi only said that there are people in this world who don’t accept gifts, who have never seen gifts that were sent out and then snatched them back, and what the little guard yelled and said made her feel that Ren Gang’s city is really extraordinary So deep! "Bastard! I just made some trouble with you. As for teasing me like this? Make it seem like I want your things so much! Get out!" Ruan Zhuqi was angry and kicked the little guard unceremoniously "In this world, any man with a little bit of beauty is not a good thing!" Ruan Zhuqi roared angrily, but she didn't know whether she was scolding the confused little guard or Qian Ao.

The red cloak on the street corner shook violently again.

It was getting colder and colder, and the sky began to snow heavily. Every time I went out for a few steps, I could hear the sound of snow under my feet.At times like this in previous years, Ruan Zhuqi likes to nest in the warm and living room burned by fire dragons, while drinking hot tea cooked by Lan Xin, while admiring the snow sculptures that Ruan Wenyong transformed for her outside the window every day.One winter was extremely cold, and Ruan Zhuqi hoped that there would be no snow for half a month, feeling extremely depressed.Suddenly one night was very cold, Ruan Zhuqi hugged four or five Mrs. Tang and still felt the chill.In the morning, she came out of bed tremblingly, opened the window and saw a small shiny snow house carved outside the window.

Ruan Zhuqi's eyes lit up immediately, and she forgot the cold for a moment and ran straight into the igloo.It turned out that it was not just an empty room, but the bed made of ice blocks, tables and chairs were all complete.Ruan Zhuqi looked around happily, and when she felt a little cold, a burst of warmth came from behind her. "It's always like this, next time I won't make it for you to play with." Ruan Wenyong's doting voice came, and a warm coat was put on Ruan Zhuqi.Ruan Zhuqi smiled foolishly, only fourth uncle was willing to play with her like this.Ruan Zhuqi couldn't remember what happened next, it seemed that my fourth uncle's hands were red that day, it was so ugly.

"Ahem..." After standing by the window for a long time, Ruan Zhuqi couldn't help coughing a few times, and Ruan quickly ran to close the window, and helped Ruan Zhuqi to the stove to keep warm.Ruanxiang was much quieter than Lanxin, but this quietness made Ruan Zhuqi feel a little deserted. "Is it going to be Chinese New Year?" Ruan Zhuqi asked.

"Yes, Miss, everything in the mansion is ready! At that time, Miss and Madam will watch the New Year together!" Rue Xiang became excited, the time when the Hulu Mansion gave the most generous rewards to the servants was coming. "Yes." Ruan Zhuqi replied lightly.Ruan Xiang knew that Ruan Zhuqi was not interested in these things, so she changed the subject, saying: "After the first lunar month, at the beginning of February, the young lady will get married! I heard that the princess concubine gave the lady a large box of gold and silver jewels. It is said that it is a dowry for the young lady!"

"You said Qian Ao, what else attracts me besides his skin?" Ruan Zhuqi was a little irritable, but these words startled Yun Xiang.Ruan Zhuqi quietly closed her eyes when there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.The door was rudely kicked open, and Fu Que angrily threw a brocade box in front of Ruan Zhuqi, saying: "Sister is going to be a princess, so what is there to be dissatisfied with! Why do you want to hurt the prince over and over again! You Look, what my sister wants, His Highness won't give it to me, so the prince begged for it for my sister!"

The lid of the brocade box had been thrown off by Fu Que, and an exquisite warm jade pillow was lying in front of Ruan Zhuqi.
