"Secondary Consort Ye, are you provoking bengong with these words?”
Ye Xiao's expression remained unchanged, but he still straightened his neck and said firmly,""Isn't that so?"
Ning Ruqiu sneered, the corners of her lips curled up in disdain, and said coldly,""Is the private matter between wangye and wangfei something that a little secondary consort like you can casually talk about?”
Ye Xiao stood up and looked condescendingly at Ning Ruqiu," I'm just a small Secondary Consort, so of course I don't dare to talk about His Highness and the Princess Consort. But this is the truth. Could it be that the Princess Consort wants to convict me because of this truth?"”
Ning Ruqiu lightly picked up the teacup in her hand and took a sip before saying,""There's only one thing you said right, and that is that you're just a little concubine! A small concubine actually dared to offend her superior and contradict the princess. According to the wangfu's family law, what crime should she be punished?!”
Xiao Tao stood beside Ning Ruqiu and said forcefully,""According to the law, you should be locked in the woodshed and quietly reflect on your mistakes. If you don't repent, you will be expelled from the Imperial Residence!”
Ning Ruqiu's expression was indifferent and no longer paid attention to Ye Xiao. Instead, she coldly called out,""Zixi!"
"Yes, sir!" Zixi received the order and stepped forward to grab Ye Xiao's hands.
"Impudent! A lowly servant like you dares to touch me?”Ye Xiao struggled hard, but unfortunately, her little strength was not enough. No matter how hard she tried, Zixi did not even frown.
" Ning Ruqiu, don't go too far. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you're the princess consort. Do you think I don't know that you're only able to become the princess consort because you saved the Emperor's life? His Highness is actually not willing to accept you at all. Let me tell you, if you dare to touch me today, His Highness will definitely not let you off when he comes back. You're just a concubine's daughter who was chased out of your own family, a cheap servant who doesn't even dare to return home. What qualifications do you have…"
"Pa!"
A loud slap interrupted Ye Xiao's cursing. Ning Ruqiu looked at Ye Xiao whose face was instantly swollen and said coldly,""A little secondary consort dares to speak ill of me. Zixi, throw her into the woodshed. Without bengong's permission, no one is allowed to visit her!”
"Yes, sir!" Zixi received the order and left, escorting Ye Xiao to the woodshed. Ye Xiao was stunned by this slap and did not react for a long time.
Everyone looked at Ning Ruqiu's cold face and didn't dare to breathe loudly. Ning Ruqiu coldly glanced at her and said," Since I've become the Princess Consort and received the seal, I won't allow the Imperial Residence to be in a mess. From now on, everyone only needs to abide by their duties. I will naturally reward virtuous people regularly, but..." Ning Ruqiu's tone became even colder." If anyone is arrogant, offends their superiors, or is jealous of others and plots against them, don't blame me for saying this first. Once they are discovered, they will be severely punished and will not show mercy!”
"Yes, sir! ChenQie accepts the order!" None of the women were fools and naturally would not disobey Ning Ruqiu's words at this time.
Seeing everyone's obedient appearance, Ning Ruqiu's tone also relaxed." Alright, everyone can leave. I have some flower tea here. If you like it, you can go find Xiao Tao. She will help you pack it up."”
"Thank you, Princess Consort." The girls bowed again.
Ning Ruqiu nodded and swept her gaze over Xin Yi. Xin Yi shuddered and was about to kneel down, but Ning Ruqiu ignored her and turned to enter the inner room. She wasn't Si Tingye's official princess anyway, so at most she would punish those who provoked her. As for the others, she couldn't be bothered to worry about them.
Little did she know that her unintentional action had left an impression on those who had intentions that she was weak and could be bullied.
The next day, Si Tingye sat in Ning Ruqiu's room and looked at her indifferently." Princess Consort, I heard that you locked Secondary Consort Ye in the woodshed yesterday?”
Ning Ruqiu raised her eyebrows and said coldly,""What's wrong? Is Your Highness here to settle scores with me?"
Si Tingye's eyes froze, and he said expressionlessly,""Could it be that Wang Fei thinks that I shouldn't have come?”
Ning Ruqiu stood up and took two steps before sitting across Si Tingye. She looked at him seriously and said word by word,""Since you want me to come back, then you have to be mentally prepared for me to clean up your Imperial Residence. I won't be like before. I won't let anyone who bullies me off!”At this point, Ning Ruqiu leaned her body slightly and leaned closer to Si Tingye. She said leisurely,""Of course, there is also the possibility that one day, when I am in a good mood, I might cause a huge commotion in your residence. Si Tingye, do you think I dare to do so?”
Si Tingye looked at Ning Ruqiu's small face that suddenly leaned in, and his heart trembled violently. He completely did not hear what Ning Ruqiu said after that and only subconsciously replied," Okay!”
Ning Ruqiu was stunned. She looked at Si Tingye's eyes, which were flickering with a dark and unclear light, and a sense of danger suddenly surged in her heart. However, before she could retreat, Si Tingye suddenly held her head and covered her with his thin lips.
Ning Ruqiu's pupils constricted and she subconsciously struggled. However, Si Tingye kissed her even deeper, not giving her the slightest chance to escape.
In an instant, the temperature in the room rose sharply. It had to be said that Si Tingye's kissing skills were superb. Gradually, Ning Ruqiu's eyes became hazy and she subconsciously closed them, while Si Tingye kissed even more passionately...
After a long while, the temperature in the room returned to normal. Ning Ruqiu realized that she had lost her composure just now and was about to flare up in embarrassment and anger when Si Tingye suddenly grabbed her hands." This time, you brought yourself to me! Don't blame me!"
Ning Ruqiu was stunned. She looked at her slightly tilted body and felt speechless for a moment. She could only grit her teeth and fiercely shake off Si Tingye's hand."This is my room, please leave!”
Si Tingye's fingers brushed across her thin lips. Ning Ruqiu frowned and was about to speak when Si Tingye stood up with a devilish and presumptuous smile. He turned around and walked out of the door, his voice echoing from afar." This Ye Manor belongs to you. You can do whatever you want. I have no objections!"”
Ning Ruqiu looked at Si Tingye's receding figure and a strange emotion welled up in her heart. Ning Ruqiu furrowed her brows and suppressed this emotion, but she couldn't help but burst out again. This repeated, and Ning Ruqiu couldn't help but feel irritated.
Xiao Tao walked into the room and saw Ning Ruqiu's uneasy expression. She couldn't help but ask with concern,""Miss, what's wrong?"
Ning Ruqiu shook her head." I'm fine. I was just nudged by a pig and I'm a little depressed!"”
"Ah?" Hearing this, Xiao Tao was stunned. Then, she foolishly searched Ning Ruqiu's room." Miss, this is your boudoir. Why would a pig come in? It must be because the kitchen wasn't properly guarded. Miss, where is that pig now?" I'll definitely teach those people in the kitchen a lesson later!”
Ning Ruqiu was speechless and looked at Xiao Tao in annoyance." Alright, I went out early. Come, accompany me to the courtyard for a walk."”
" Seeing that Ning Ruqiu seemed to be in a bad mood, Xiao Tao hurriedly went forward to hold Ning Ruqiu's arm and said,""Miss, I heard that the chrysanthemums in Hui Ju Garden have bloomed. Do you want to go and take a look?”
" Uh, chrysanthemum…" Ning Ruqiu was stunned, and she couldn't help but think of an unsightly part.
" Yes," Xiao Tao didn't notice Ning Ruqiu's abnormality at all and said happily,""Miss, I heard from Lian 'er today that the chrysanthemums in the Chrysanthemum Garden are blooming very well. Miss, it's autumn now, a good day to admire chrysanthemums! And I heard from Lian 'er that there's a purple one in the chrysanthemum this year. Miss, let's go and take a look!”
"Purple chrysanthemum?" This time, Ning Ruqiu was interested. A guess flashed in her heart, but she couldn't believe it for a moment.
"Yes, many people are saying, Miss, let's go.”
Ning Ruqiu nodded. If there really was a purple chrysanthemum, then she would definitely go and take a look. In her previous life, she remembered that a dried chrysanthemum also appeared in an auction. However, because it was purple, it was actually auctioned for a high price of hundreds of millions of yuan. Ning Ruqiu went back and read many ancient books before she found out that purple chrysanthemums could actually be used as medicine. It had the magical effect of rejuvenating one's youth and keeping one forever young.
Ning Ruqiu was naturally not interested in things like rejuvenation, but if it could nourish one's skin, then the value would be great. Many women would go crazy in pursuit of beauty. If they could get a living purple chrysanthemum and try to cultivate it, then reproduce a purple chrysanthemum garden…
At the thought of this, Ning Ruqiu seemed to not see the countless gold coins falling on her. For a moment, she couldn't help but quicken her pace. No one would complain about having too much money, not to mention that Ning Ruqiu was still thinking about how to establish her own family in the future, so she needed money even more.
Ning Ruqiu quickly brought Xiao Tao to the Chrysanthemum Garden. There were already many people in the Chrysanthemum Garden, all of whom were here to admire the chrysanthemums. Ning Ruqiu couldn't be bothered to look at the blooming chrysanthemums and looked at Xiao Tao."Xiao Tao, where's that purple one? Did you know?"
Xiao Tao shook her head." It's my first time here too. I don't know.”
Ning Ruqiu looked around and casually pulled over a concubine in the residence.""Do you know that there is a purple chrysanthemum in this chrysanthemum garden?”
The concubine was suddenly pulled back and immediately scowled angrily. When she saw that it was Ning Ruqiu, she hurriedly knelt down respectfully and said,""Greetings to the princess consort.”
Ning Ruqiu waved her hand, indicating for the concubine to stand up and asked anxiously,""Alright, bengong asked you, did you see a purple chrysanthemum?”
The concubine frowned and thought about it carefully. She replied respectfully,"Reporting to wangfei, this servant has been wandering around this chrysanthemum garden for a long time, but has never seen any purple chrysanthemums.”
Ning Ruqiu was stunned.
Xiao Tao was also surprised. She looked at the concubine and said,"Don't tell me you didn't read it seriously?”
The concubine's face stiffened. She was no longer so polite to Xiao Tao. She immediately replied unhappily,"What are you talking about? Didn't I come to the Chrysanthemum Garden to admire the chrysanthemums? How could I not look at them seriously?”
Xiao Tao was stunned and said unwillingly,"Impossible, Lian 'er clearly said that she saw it, and her description was so vivid that it couldn't be wrong!”# Cancel review all: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #Review: 1314mx Time:12120182: 35PM #
