The Abandoned Daughter

Chapter 300 Glutinous Rice Dumpling

In the early morning, a maid knocked on the door softly and asked, "Master, are you up?"

Xie Ruzhuo heard the sound and woke up in a daze, "What time is it?"

Xiao Junxi kissed her forehead affectionately, and said, "It's time." After speaking, he said to the outside, "Come in."

After he gave the order, there were maids filed in. In addition to Jiang Zhu Qianbi, there were two other faces.

Several people greeted Xie Ruzhuo and Xiao Junxi together, and saw that Xiao Junxi had put on the clothes on his own, and dried the servant girl who was going to be waiting for him.

After Jiang Zhu Qianbi served Xie Ruzhuo to dress, he saw Hongrui also walk in, with a brocade box in his hand, hesitated and said, "Miss, let's put this on the window sill." There was a mark of Tianmen on it. She is no stranger to this.

Hearing that, Xie Ruzhuo took it over and saw that there was a note attached to it. When she opened it, she blushed and cursed, "This old evildoer."

When Xiao Junxi heard what she said, she smiled and looked at the note, only to see the words "Excessive indulgence, kidney loss, young people, and restraint."

Who else is there besides Wen Ruyu in that handwriting?

Xiao Junxi shook her head helplessly, and said with a smile, "Why do you have to be familiar with him?"

Xie Ruzhuo sneered and said, "Who knows as much as him." While talking, he opened the brocade box again, only to see a bracelet upright inside. The transparent body of the bracelet, meandering bloodshots, outlines a circle pattern around it. When the sun shines in, the bracelet is covered with a layer of golden light, and it becomes more and more radiant, and it looks good instantly.

Xie Ruzhuo doesn't know much about jade, but he also knows that this is the king of jade, which can't be met-blood jade! Ordinary jade is a person who raises jade, and it takes a long time to raise a person. However, this blood jade has been buried for hundreds of years. After being worn by others, it can not only drive away evil spirits and protect security, it is also an excellent thing to protect women.

Xiao Junxi obviously noticed the special nature of this jade, and said with a light smile, "He is quite generous, and Zhuo'er just wears it."

Xie Ruzhuo nodded, and remembered Feng Ruhong's words before, because he said, "I will come back to thank him another day."

As soon as she finished her words, she saw Jiang Zhu, who had cleaned up the bed, with a shy smile on her face, and happily picked up the white veil.

Xie Ruzhuo immediately understood what it was, his face flushed involuntarily, and he sat in front of the dressing table indiscriminately, saying, "If you are ready, go out first."

Xiao Junxi naturally noticed her small movements, feeling soft in her heart, and said, "I'll order breakfast, and I will look for you later."

The previous two maids had been standing there and waiting. After seeing Yuanpa, one of them suddenly widened his eyes, a little unbelievable.

Xie Ruzhuo looked in his eyes, and faintly ordered, "You two too, go out first, and call you when something happens."

These two were the original maidservants in the palace, and they were called Curly and Tingting. Hearing this, Curly Ben wanted to say something first, but was pulled by Tingting, and said, "Yes, Princess."

After the two maids went out, Qian Bi muttered, "These two didn't feel at ease at first sight. They didn't let us in when I got up early. It's a shame to see the prince, otherwise I won't be able to come in. !"

After hearing these words, Xie Ruzhuo glanced at the door thoughtfully before whispering, "Is anyone impatient to enter the mansion on the first day?"

Jiang Zhu was rather calm, "Miss, I think the two maids seem to be quite a city, but as long as the prince doesn't care, we are not afraid."

Xie Ruzhuo nodded in response, and then handed the blood jade to Jiang Zhudao, "Take it away."

Hongrui on the side wondered, "Miss, don't you wear it?"

"Such an ostentatious thing, let's keep it for now." Although she likes it, this blood jade wear is too ostentatious, not her style.

The early morning meal was specially ordered by Xiao Junxi to cook in the kitchen, which was rather light. After breakfast, the two took a carriage all the way to the palace.

According to the rules, the newlyweds will go to the palace to thank you on the second day. Moreover, Xie Ruzhuo's imperial decree was requested by herself, and she is going to kowtow to Emperor Jing.

When Emperor Jing was still in the palace when he entered the palace, Xiao Junxi and the two went to the palace of Concubine Ye Gui first.

As soon as I entered the door, I first smelled the fragrance of flowers in the hall, extremely elegant.

Concubine Ye Gui was talking to Xiao Xinning, and heard the inmate sing promises, "Respect the king, respect the concubine--" she immediately raised her head and smiled, "You came so early."

Concubine Ye Gui wore a palace dress with flowing colors and dark-flowered cloud brocade today, with a thin layer of powder applied to her face, but the grace of her body was unparalleled.

Xiao Xinning on the side was also charming, and when she looked at the two, she suddenly showed a mischievous smile.

Xiao Junxi took Xie Ruzhuo's hand, and asked An Dao first, "Greetings to the mother and concubine, the mother and concubine are blessed."

The two said in unison, Xie Ruzhuo was a little shy, but they also finished talking with Xiao Junxi verbatim.

Hearing this, Ye Guifei smiled slightly, stood up and helped the two of them personally, and after looking at Xie Ruzhuo for a long time, there was joy in her eyes, "What a good boy."

After speaking, Concubine Ye took another red seal from the maid on the side and put it in Xie Ruzhuo's hand and said, "Take it away."

Xie Ruzhuo thanked Concubine Ye Gui again and helped her back to sit down. He just sat down with Xiao Junxi.

After Xiao Junxi said a few words to Concubine Ye Gui, he smiled and said, "Mother concubine, I will first greet my father, and I will accompany you later."

Seeing his look, Concubine Ye knew that he had something to say to Emperor Jing alone, because he said, "You go, it just so happens that I also have a few private words with Princess Jing."

Xiao Junxi responded, leaving a sentence, "Zuo'er wait for me." He left alone.

After Xiao Junxi was gone, Jiang Zhufang on the side walked forward holding a box and said respectfully, "Let's look at the concubine empress."

Xie Ruzhuo also knew what it was, so he just lowered his head and pretended not to see it.

Ye Guifei took it and saw it, and the smile on her face widened, and she smiled, "I know you are a good boy." After speaking, she said with some emotion, "Sister is in the spirit of the sky. Seeing that you are so harmonious, I can feel at ease. ."

Seeing that she was a little sad, Xie Ruzhuo and Xiao Xinning were busy coaxing her.

As I was talking, I suddenly heard the guard clerk shouting outside the door, "Cao Guiren come to please Ann——"

Concubine Ye Gui cleared up her emotions and said, "Please come in."

Cao Guiren was a concubine collected by Emperor Jing during his southern tour a few years ago, and he was favored for a while. However, she is weak by nature and does not like to compete with others. Therefore, she lost her favor in only half a year. Fortunately, she was struggling. Although she only gave birth to a princess, she was better than the concubines who had no children in the harem.

Xie Ruzhuo had also heard of this nobleman Cao earlier. After all, Emperor Jing didn't have many heirs, and there were only two princesses. One was the seventh princess Xiao Xinning and the other was the eighth princess Xiao Xinqi.

It's just that there is a difference in the status of the mother and concubine between the two, and the eight princesses are now only three years old, so Xie Ruzhuo has never seen it.

Not long after, Cao Guiren walked in. Seeing that she walks slowly and slowly, her head is lowered, like a weak Liu Fufeng. And behind her, there was a little doll like glutinous rice dumplings.

Noble Cao first asked for peace, and the small glutinous rice dumplings behind him also said with milk, "please for mother and concubine."

Concubine Ye gave this nobleman Cao extraordinarily preferential treatment. She immediately ordered someone to give her a seat and smiled, "You are not in good health these days. Didn't you say that you are not allowed to come to please?"

Cao Guiren was only in his early twenties, and his face was deceptively white, and although he was not a dazzling country, he also had a special charm. Hearing Concubine Ye's words, she immediately replied, "Even if you say this, the rules can't be broken. Besides, the concubines and concubines come here to please the empress every day. They don't feel bitter, but they can clear the mind and calm the mind."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Ye Gui smiled and introduced to her, "This is the new concubine of the king, you call her Zhuoer."

Xie Ruzhuo bowed to the nobleman Cao according to his words, and saw that nobleman waved his hand in fear and laughed, "I can't do it, I'll break my concubine."

On the contrary, Xiao Xinqi, who was beside Noble Cao, opened a pair of big watery eyes, and asked with a milky voice, "Hey, who are you?" Then, she ran to Xie Ruzhuo again with her short legs and looked at her brightly. Said, "Xiangxiang, I like this sister."

Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but laughed, squatted down and looked at Xiao Xinqi, and said softly, "In terms of seniority, you want to call my sister-in-law."

Xiao Xinqi obviously didn't understand what the sister-in-law was, and she just asked Guiren Cao as if looking back and asking, "Mother, can I play with the sister-in-law?"

Her words were not standard when she spoke, and the longing on her face was too much to refuse.

Guiren Cao was a little embarrassed, so he saw Ye Guifei smiled, "It's okay, let them play, let's talk freely."

After hearing what Ye Guifei said, Cao Guiren just smiled and said, "Yes." Then, he took out the embroidered sachet and offered it with both hands, "A few days ago, my sister said that the sleep is shallow, and the concubine specially sews to soothe the nerves. You try to hang it on the head of your bed, it will be better for you to sleep at night."

Concubine Ye Gui responded, thanking her with a smile, "It's hard for you to still think of me."

Xiao Xinqi had never seen many strangers, but at this time she had a rare enthusiasm for Xie Ruzhuo. Even Xiao Xinning on the side was surprised and smiled, "Qi'er used to avoid strangers. I didn't expect you to come into her eyes."

Xiao Xinqi was playing with Xie Ruzhuo's fingers. He turned around and said with a crisp smile, "Sister-in-law is beautiful."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Xinning suddenly sneered, "You little girl, she is not very old, and her mouth is sweet. I ask you, your sister-in-law is beautiful, am I not so beautiful?"

When Cao Guiren heard this, he looked back nervously, but listened to Xiao Xinqi's words, "Good Sister, best."

The innocence in Xiaowawa’s eyes made people want to hold her in his heart to hurt her. Xiao Xinning was not too old, it was the child’s character, but seeing such Xiao Xinqi could not help holding her in her arms and kissing her. He smiled, "You little mouth, I don't know who it is like."

Although Xie Ruzhuo only saw this nobleman Cao, he also felt that this woman was a good one. A person can pretend again, but her expression can't deceive anyone.

What's more, if the little princess like this is a concubine, she would have taken her child as a solid pet a long time ago. It is rare that this nobleman Cao is not arrogant or rash, guarding the child and still being a nobleman.

Thinking about it this way, Xie Ruzhuo looked at the child and looked at the child again.

Until Xiao Junxi's personal bodyguard came to spread the word, saying, "The prince asks the princess to go to the royal study room."

Xie Ruzhuo just let go of Xiao Xinqi a little reluctantly, and then saluted concubine Ye Gui, "Mother concubine, the concubine has passed by first, and I will come to you another day to greet you."

Concubine Ye Gui responded, but Xiao Xinqi was reluctant to pull the corner of Xie Ruzhuo's clothes, and asked expectantly, "Sister-in-law, are you coming to see Qi'er?"
