Chapter 493 The tea-splashing woman
"Miss, Uncle Zhongyi's residence has sent a greeting card. Your mother and two aunts want to visit you tomorrow."
The servants of the mansion handed the invitation to Wei Ruo.
Because Wei Ruo doesn't like others to call her princess, when there are no outsiders in the backyard of the palace, the servants all call Wei Ruo "Miss".
Wei Ruo picked up the greeting card, looked at it twice, sneered, and threw it aside.
"Miss, why are Madam and the others visiting you at this time?" Xiumei asked.
"Where did they come to see me, I'm afraid they will go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing." Wei Ruo said.
Although the greeting card was full of mother's love for her daughter and family's concern for her as a married woman, Wei Ruo was not moved at all.
"Miss, we haven't seen them!" Xiumei said.
"I really want to meet them. If they come to see me at this time, there must be something for the three of them to come together. I want to see what kind of medicine they sell in their gourds, so that we can know each other and know what to do." Wei Ruo said.
Wei Ruo gave the greeting card to the servant who came to pass the message, and asked her to reply to the person who sent the greeting card from the Wei family.
On the second day, the three sisters-in-law Mo, Bai, and Yun arrived at Prince Rui's Mansion together in a carriage, dressed in fancy dress.
Guided by the servants of the palace, they came to the backyard garden of the palace.
In the gazebo beside the waterside pavilion, Wei Ruozheng was sitting at the table.
Wearing a goose-yellow skirt embroidered with gold and bouquets of flowers, with her hair half up and half up, she looks a little elegant and a little lazy.
There is a tea set on the table, and water is boiling in the stove next to it, and white steam lingers above the stove.
Mo, Bai, and Yun were brought to the gazebo.
"See Princess Madam."
Three people stood in front of the table, Wei Ruo didn't raise his head, but said to the three people: "Sit."
There are three chairs just opposite Wei Ruo.
Mo Shi found a seat a little awkwardly and sat down.
Bai didn't sit down immediately, but said to Wei Ruo with a smile on his face: "Princess Wangfei, I haven't seen you for a few days, you look more and more beautiful!"
Wei Ruo chuckled, and put aside the purple sand pot that had just finished making tea in his hand.
Looking up, smiling vaguely, Wei Ruo said: "Second Aunt, don't say those things against your will, why don't you come to me today and tell me straight to the point!"
Bai Shi immediately replied: "My lord, you have misunderstood. You have been married to the palace for some time. As a family, we come to visit you and care about you. This is what we should do."
Wei Ruo's smile didn't fade: "Really? Then the second aunt shouldn't make any requests to me today, otherwise I'll think what you just said is deceiving me."
The smile on Bai's face suddenly froze.
"This... great niece..."
"There is a difference in respect and inferiority, but the second aunt still has to respectfully call me 'Prince Princess'."
Wei Ruo interrupted Bai's speech.
Bai Shi's expression was even uglier. In just a few minutes after coming here, her face had changed from smiling like a flower to sullen.
Wei Ruoze still had that calm appearance.
"Sit down." Wei Ruo said to Bai Shi and Yun Shi again.
Yun Shi also took his seat, and then looked at Wei Ruo with burning eyes.
My daughter's every move of making tea is dignified and elegant, slim and graceful.
"Ruo'er, how are you doing in the palace these days?" Yun asked in a gentle voice.
"Brilliant clothes and fine food, open your mouth and stretch out your hands when you eat, no one restrains you, you are free, I don't know how much better than when you were not out of the cabinet." Wei Ruo replied.
"That's good..." Yun slowly lowered his eyelids.
After that, there was a silence, Wei Ruo continued to brew tea leisurely, and put the brewed tea in front of the three of them.
Mo Shi was originally a quiet temperament, and now he was even more silent. He only said "thank you" in a low voice when Wei Ruo put the tea in front of her.
Both Mo Shi and Yun Shi remained silent, Bai Shi was very anxious. Sure enough, the two of them were useless, so she had to come!
Bai's face changed into a smiling face again: "Princess Wangfei, I heard that there is a genius doctor in Prince Rui's residence. I wonder if it is true?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Wei Ruo asked back, raising his eyebrows.
"Princess, what you said..." Bai could no longer laugh, her face was full of embarrassment, but she still held on.
"Aren't the two aunts and my mother here today to visit and care about me? Since they are visiting and caring about me, it doesn't seem to matter who is in the palace, right?"
Wei Ruo's series of questions left Bai Shi speechless.
She had no choice but to reply embarrassingly: "My lord, it is true that we came to visit the princess, but there are indeed some things that I want to trouble my lord."
Wei Ruo didn't respond right away, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Bai Shi as if he was watching a play.
Mrs. Bai continued: "You must have heard about the injury of Mrs. Qi, the concubine. Lord Qi is looking for famous doctors to treat Mr. Qi's injuries. If there is a famous doctor in Prince Rui's residence, you might as well ask him to treat Mr. Qi. Lord Qi will accept the affection of Prince Rui's residence."
Wei Ruo let out a "puchi" laugh.
Bai Shi was embarrassed and asked, "What is the princess laughing at?"
"Why does my majestic Prince Rui's residence need to accept Qi Yansong's love?"
"This... princess, you still need to see things clearly, and don't indulge in the glory brought by the title of princess."
Bai's heart said, don't you know how much your princess weighs?
In recent years, because the emperor misses Empress Xu, he has handed over a lot of affairs to the cabinet. As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Mr. Qi holds great power.
A short-lived prince with no real power may not necessarily have a higher status than Lord Shoufu.
"What's the matter? After listening to the words of the second aunt, you still don't like me as a princess? What status do you have to say such a thing?" Wei Ruo asked Bai.
"Princess, please calm down, that's not what I meant..." Bai quickly explained.
"What does it mean not to mean?"
"My lord, I'm only saying this for your own good. Look at the situation of the lord..." Bai's words behind her didn't make sense, but the meaning was already expressed.
Wei Ruo has heard the same words with the same meaning more than once, and she feels that Prince Rui will die sooner or later, and the country will fall into the hands of King Yu and the Qi family sooner or later.
Wei Ruo sneered, then picked up the teacup on the table, and splashed it on Bai Shi's face.
Bai Shi was still trying to persuade her, when a cold bowl of tea splashed on her face.
The tea leaves stuck to her hair and face, and the water stains made her unable to open her eyes.
After wiping his face, Bai looked at Wei Ruo with a look of astonishment: "You...how are you..."
