Ruan Zhen was never a timid master, but the Duke's Mansion occupies a large area. It was hot all the way to the south, and in such a hurry to get out, she even forgot to bring an oil-paper umbrella.

She felt dizzy after walking.

Ruan Zhen stopped, raised her bare hands and wiped the fine sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief.

An Qi saw this and said quickly: "If the imperial concubine Ruo goes to the pavilion in front and waits, I will order the two people to come over and say hello."

Tan Yun also felt sorry for Ruan Zhen, and responded: "Yes, since ancient times, concubines have come to pay their respects to the head wife as soon as they enter the house. They have set up a big deal, so there is no reason for you, the Crown Princess, to go there in person."

As she said this, she became even more annoyed.

How could Ruan Zhen not know this? But she just wanted to see it for herself.

Who told Gu Huaizhi not to keep anyone early or late, but to keep someone at this juncture? The young lady couldn't help but think angrily, she wanted to see how extraordinary those two people were.

Thinking of Gu Huaizhi, she tightened her handkerchief and couldn't help but look at the bulging purse around her waist.

No amount of broken fingers can make her happy.

The little lady rarely cursed and never uttered any curse words. She held back her breath and blushed.

After a long time, she struggled to spit out a few words.

"It's too much, you deserve to die. It's sanctimonious, it's extremely abominable."

Tan Yun:......

The eldest daughter of her family always seems to be very tactful and cultured when she curses others.

In comparison, every time she saw Chang Su, she wanted to dig into his ancestral graves, which seemed a bit vulgar.

An Qi was silent and could only continue to look up at the sky.

After finally entering the Qingzhu Courtyard, Ruan Zhen heard the two people questioning each other on the arch bridge at the corner.

"Why are you the only slave in this yard?"

The mother-in-law lowered her eyebrows and said, "There are also cleaning boys coming to Qingzhuyuan every day."

The woman in blue raised her chin, and her expression changed a bit when she heard this. She really didn't expect that the woman next to her would dare to take advantage of Qiao like this.

"I'm asking the maid who takes care of the food and daily life of the two of me."

The mother-in-law smiled, but with a perfunctory tone: "Young lady, you are joking. I am a servant, and the arrangements for the servants in the house are not something that an old servant can interfere with."

Everything in the house was handled by the housekeeper. The housekeeper didn't send anyone over, which shows that he really didn't take these two people seriously.

Even if the young master really intends to take these two people as his concubines, he should be obedient and abide by his duties until he has established himself. If someone comes to serve her, he should be grateful. If he doesn't, he should not talk about it.

Rather than being so indifferent, when entering the Duke's Mansion, he thought he could fly up a branch and become a phoenix.

The woman in blue twitched her lips when she heard this. She was used to the intrigues in the palace, and she guessed that this was a deliberate attempt by the Crown Princess to give them power.

She is really jealous.

The woman in pink rolled her eyes and smiled: "When we are completely settled, we should kowtow in front of the imperial concubine and offer her a cup of concubine tea. They are just a few maids, so mention it in front of the imperial concubine.

, how could she not give it?"

Even if the Crown Princess doesn't want to agree, she has to agree in order to show her generosity in front of others.

Unless, she wants to break up with the prince.

Mother-in-law: ...Does this have anything to do with the concubine?

Ruan Zhen lowered her eyes quietly.

She was silent for a few seconds, and then thought slowly.

Do all the women raised in the palace who win over officials have this kind of virtue?

It's okay to be stupid, but he has the ability to make the house restless.

She looked down upon these two people, let alone Gu Huaizhi.

Ruan Zhen felt at ease and looked away. Then, she walked over slowly.

The conversation between the two people, not to mention Ruan Zhen, even the mother-in-law couldn't help but frown.

She moved her lips and was about to reprimand when she heard footsteps behind her. The old lady turned her head and saw the person clearly. She quickly stepped forward and said, "Old slave, please give my regards to the Crown Princess."

In front of Ruan Zhen, her attitude was extremely respectful, which was in sharp contrast to the perfunctory way she treated the two people just now.

Ruan Zhen nodded lightly in response. Then, she looked at the two people who were talking so loudly about her.

While she was looking at the two of them, the two of them were also secretly looking at him.

The woman's bright red lips, straight upturned nose, red lips and snow-skinned skin are like pearls, and the beautiful jade is shining brightly. Her watery eyes are full of spring water, her temperament is elegant, and she is noble and unconventional.

Her black hair was pulled up, with a white jade hairpin pinned to it.

There are not many accessories on the whole body, but they are just right.

Lan Yi:......

Fenyi:……

The two of them were slightly surprised.

They were usually most proud of this face. At the same time, a sentence suddenly sounded in their minds.

——With such a beautiful wife, how could the prince settle for the next best thing and have them?

But the nun in the palace also said so.

Since ancient times, no matter whether rich, powerful or not, men have been virtuous. A wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a thief.

Yes! It doesn’t matter if the Crown Princess is only beautiful. If she is too dignified and looks like a dead fish on the bed, men will naturally not like her.

While the two were affirming themselves, Ruan Zhen stood still in front of them.

The corners of her mouth curled up, and her voice was gentle. But she said this.

"Didn't you say you want to kowtow to me to say goodbye? Just kowtow."

Tan Yun:!!!

Long live the Crown Princess!

She raised her head proudly and said to the two people who had long been displeased and wanted to deal with them with her own hands, who were a little stunned at the moment: "Why are you standing still? You can't even kowtow?"

An Qi grabbed a handful of hair and said coldly: "You can eat as long as you are told, why are you dawdling!"

Aren’t those weird words you said earlier very capable?

Why is it that now that the Crown Princess is here, there is no response?

The two of them looked at each other, ignored the pain, and knelt down.

"Little Liuying."

"Little Liuxuan."

"Greetings to the Crown Princess."

Ruan Zhen lowered her eyes and looked at the two people in gorgeous clothes on the ground with a calm expression.

She pursed her lips and chuckled for a while, her voice soft but cold: "I am indeed a quiet person, but what does it have to do with you if no one in my family has anything to do with you?"

"Those who know the truth will conclude that you two do not know the rules, etiquette, and speak out. If you don't know, they will suspect that you are sent by the emperor specifically to embarrass me."

A few light words made the two of them feel cold all over.

"Young ones don't dare."

"It's just nonsense, and your mouth is too clumsy. Please don't argue with us, Crown Princess."

Care?

As soon as these words came out, Ruan Zhen seemed to be petty.

The young lady didn't let them get up. She just turned around and told her mother-in-law: "Keep an eye on them and kneel down for half an hour."

"Prince Concubine, you can't go behind the Emperor's back. The Crown Prince will punish us privately." The woman in blue couldn't believe it.

"Carry it?" Ruan Zhen seemed to have heard a big joke.

She enunciated her words clearly, and her words completely overwhelmed people: "Since you are rewarded by the emperor and have entered the Duke's mansion, you are a member of the Duke's mansion."

"For rude words and bold slander, punishment of kneeling is already a light punishment."

"As for the prince."

Ruan Zhen's voice paused, and she didn't know where the courage came from.
