" Uh…" Si Hengqing was stunned. His brain clearly hadn't turned around.
Si Tingye stood up and slowly walked out of the door. His voice came from afar," Sixth Brother, have you heard of a tactic called 'roundabout?' After entering my palace, could she grow wings and fly out again?”
Si Hengqing opened his mouth but no words came out. He scratched his head and continued eating.
Xiao Yiting lived there.
Ning Ruqiu pointed at the map in front of her and looked at Xiao Tao.""Xiao Tao, what do you think about me opening a medicine shop on this street?”
Xiao Tao looked at the place Ning Ruqiu was pointing at and then looked at Ning Ruqiu. She pinched the corner of her clothes in embarrassment and smiled."Miss, can I say that I don't know where you're referring to at all?”
Ning Ruqiu was speechless. Alright, she had previously disliked the fact that the map of the Great Hong Kingdom was marked with specific symbols. It looked too troublesome and simple, so she drew a new map based on her impression. But now, it seemed that the effect was not good. At least Xiao Tao did not understand it at all.
"Princess Consort, you have good eyes. Although this area is not the most prosperous place in Ling City, it has many people. Moreover, there are many martial arts centers there. It must be a good place to open a medical center.”
Ning Ruqiu raised her head to look at the source of the voice and smiled.""General Manager Huo, you can understand this map?”
The person who came was the chief steward of the Ye Manor, Huo Qing.
Huo Qing smiled." The Princess Consort's writing is brilliant. The map she drew is detailed and complete. The entire Ling City seems to be laid out in front of me. Although Huo Qing is not talented, it is not to the extent that she cannot understand this map.”
Hearing this, Ning Ruqiu smiled but did not take it to heart. Although Huo Qing's words were pleasant to hear, it was obvious that she was exaggerating. She was still clear about her own capabilities, so she changed the topic and said,"General Manager Huo, may I know why you have come to look for me today?”
Huo Qing respectfully bowed to Ning Ruqiu and raised a seal high above her head.""Wangfei, this is your seal.”
Ning Ruqiu nodded and signaled Xiao Tao to take it. She said to Huo Qing,""Thank you for making a trip personally, Chief Huo.”
Huo Qing half restrained her body." Princess Consort, what are you talking about? Princess Consort, in the future, you will be in charge of all matters in this residence. Please see if you have any instructions."”
Ning Ruqiu smiled faintly." General Manager Huo, everything will be fine according to the original method. Thank you for your hard work, General Manager Huo."”Although Ning Ruqiu said that she didn't really want to marry Si Tingye, she still had the title of a princess consort, so she still had to do her job.
Huo Qing's attitude was still neither servile nor overbearing as she said respectfully,"This is Huo Qing's duty. The princess had a good rest and Huo Qing took her leave.”
Ning Ruqiu nodded and looked at Huo Qingyuan. Xiao Tao took a step forward and approached Ning Ruqiu. She said in a low voice,"Miss, this Huo Qing is so arrogant.”
Ning Ruqiu's eyes moved." It's not arrogance, but he has something to rely on. Didn't you notice? Although he's the steward of the Imperial Residence, he's still a servant. But he calls himself Huo Qing to me. Do you think there's no reason for this?”
"Oh!" Xiao Tao looked as if she had suddenly realized something." I understand now. Just like how Zixi and I can still call you Miss, Miss, and not Princess Consort, just like how you never call yourself 'bengong' in front of Zixi and me, just like how Zixi and I don't have to call ourselves slaves in front of you…"
Ning Ruqiu interrupted Xiao Tao's chattering and said angrily,""You're smart! Your Young Miss is hungry, why don't you hurry up and get me something to eat!”
"Yes, sir!" Xiao Tao stuck out her tongue and ran out.
Ning Ruqiu shook her head and lowered her head to fiddle with the seal in her hand. An unknown light flashed across her eyes.
"Young miss, a few consorts and concubines in the fu have come to greet you. Do you want to see them?”At this moment, Zixi walked in and said to Ning Ruqiu.
Ning Ruqiu nodded, put away the seal, and got up to leave the inner room.
"Greetings to the princess consort, the princess consort is a thousand years old!”As soon as Ning Ruqiu entered the front hall of Yi Ting Residence, everyone in the room immediately knelt down and said in unison.
Ning Ruqiu frowned. There were too many people in this room. Apart from the maids, there were nearly twenty of them. Was Si Tingye a stallion?
However, he still said calmly,"Everyone, get up. Lian 'er, Meng' er, serve the tea.”
"Thank you, Princess Consort." The crowd bowed again and sat down according to their status.
"Princess jiejie, all the younger sisters are still thinking about your flower tea. Haha, I wonder when I will have the fortune to taste it again.”The one who spoke was Ye Xiao. She sat closest to Ning Ruqiu and was the first to speak.
Ning Ruqiu's brows twitched. She recalled the time when she had just moved into Yi Ting Residence. Ning Ruqiu had brought a few secondary consorts to cause trouble, but she had instead won over the hearts of the people with flower tea. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Liu Anruo sigh softly and continue,""That's right, wangfei jiejie's flower tea is the best of the best, but poor secondary consort jiejie. At that time, secondary consort jiejie didn't have the chance to taste it, and now, she will never have the chance.”
Hearing this, everyone frowned in unison. It was too inauspicious to mention a dead person on such a joyous day as congratulating the new wangfei. Ning Ruqiu did not take it to heart. She knew that Liu Anruo's personality was relatively simple. This thoughtlessness was rare among this group of scheming women.
"Younger sister Liu, this is your fault. Today is the first day of the new wangfei's ascension. How can you spoil the wangfei's mood?”Ning Ruqiu didn't speak, but it didn't mean that no one was willing to be in the limelight. The one who spoke was Wang Qinxin. She had always looked down on Liu Anruo because of her outstanding zither skills.
Liu Anruo was stunned. She hurriedly stood up and said,""Sister wangfei, this concubine knows her mistake. This concubine didn't do it on purpose.”
" Sister, this is your fault." Ye Xiao pursed her red lips and looked at Liu Anruo with a sneer." This flower tea is obviously the work of Sister Princess Consort, but you miss that bitch Zhao Weirui because of this flower tea. Aren't you looking down on our Princess Consort?"”
"Alright!" Ning Ruqiu interrupted Ye Xiao and the others 'tit-for-tat and secretly curled her lips. It seemed that jealousy was the common trait of all women! These three women were usually as obedient as cats in front of Si Tingye, but they behaved like this behind his back. Ning Ruqiu thought to herself with a wicked smile. She wondered if Si Tingye would be so angry that he would become a monk if he saw the women in his harem behaving like this.
However, she still maintained the demeanor of a princess consort on the surface and said indifferently,"Younger Sister Liu is straightforward and outspoken. In Bengong's eyes, it is truly rare. Everyone is a sister and should usually live in harmony. Quickly sit down. The flower tea will be here in a moment.”
Liu Anruo's face lit up and she hurriedly bowed. She smiled and said,""Thank you, Sister Wang Fei." From the corner of his eyes, he looked at Ye Xiao and Wang Qinxin proudly.
Wang Qinxin was still alright. She was not the one who started this topic. She was just the one who added the knife. However, Ye Xiao's expression was a little ugly, thinking that Ning Ruqiu's words were disrespecting her.
There were always endless topics to talk about between women. In a short while, this topic was covered by everyone's discussion with relish. At this time, it was unknown who brought up the topic of how much his highness doted on him.
A concubine who was usually very close to Ye Xiao smiled and said,""In my opinion, it's still sister Secondary Consort Ye who is the most doted on by his highness. Don't you know that in the past month, his highness has basically been staying at sister Ye's place every day.”
"Xin Yi, don't talk nonsense." Ye Xiao glared at the concubine called Xin Yi with a reproachful look, but the flirtatious look in her eyes betrayed her complacency completely.
"Secondary consort Ye niangniang, don't be modest. Everyone knows that wangye dotes on you. Secondary consort niangniang, I recently got a pair of good jade bracelets. When are you free, I will send them to you.”
"Secondary Consort Ye is a national beauty, everyone can see it for themselves. Isn't it natural to be favored? Oh right, Secondary Consort niangniang, a few days ago, my paternal family brought me some spices. The quality is excellent. I think only a beauty like you is worthy of those spices. Niangniang, I will send them to you tomorrow.”
“……”
For a moment, everyone scrambled to curry favor with Ye Xiao.
"Ah, I'm so sorry!"
"Hehe, then thank you, sister!”
Ye Xiao responded to them one by one. He glanced at Liu Anruo and Wang Qinxin from the corner of his eyes. When he saw Ning Ruqiu, he was slightly stunned but did not restrain himself.
Ning Ruqiu calmly sipped the flower tea in her hand. Xin Yi was in high spirits and said excitedly,""You guys still don't know, right? Just three days ago, I was drinking tea with Secondary Consort Ye jiejie and wangye. wangye praised jiejie Ye for having the grace of a wangfei.”
"Um…"
As soon as Xin Yi said this, the air suddenly froze. Everyone stopped what they were doing, and the atmosphere was subtle and awkward.
"Is that so? In that case, could it be that Secondary Consort Ye is more favored and nobler than our Princess Consort? Hehe, isn't this a crow trying to compare beauty with a phoenix!”Wang Qinxin covered her mouth as if she didn't notice the awkwardness. She laughed in a light tone. Of course, the sarcasm in her words was very clear.
Xin Yi wished she could tear her mouth apart at this moment. Her expression was so ugly that water was about to drip out. Damn it, how could she say such words! This new wangfei had just entered the fu and needed someone to establish her authority. Wasn't she just opening her eyes wide and bumping into the muzzle of a gun?
Ye Xiao's expression was also ugly, but it wasn't because she was afraid of angering Ning Ruqiu, but because Wang Qinxin mocked her for being a crow. She immediately said coldly,""Even if this secondary consort is a crow, she is still a favored crow. It is better than that phoenix staying alone in an empty room on her wedding night!”
Ning Ruqiu had accepted the title yesterday, so it was not an exaggeration to call last night her wedding night. However, Ye Xiao's words were undoubtedly a blatant provocation to her. Even if Ning Ruqiu did not want to bother with Si Tingye's chaotic harem, she had no choice but to eliminate those obstacles that might play tricks on her!# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 28PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #Review: 1314mx Time:12120182: 35PM #
