Chapter 384 Piercing the Heart (Second Update)
The courtyard and the boudoir that the steward of the East Palace tidied up for Ye Qiuying were naturally nothing to talk about.
Su Rong looked around and asked Ye Qiuying, "What's not satisfactory?"
Ye Qiuying tugged at Su Rong's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "There is nothing dissatisfied, it's very good, Sister Su Qi, will you come to see me often?"
"As long as I'm in Beijing, I'll come to see you often." Su Rong touched her head, knowing that she was forced to leave home at a young age, was forced to be precocious, and Ye Guixue was about to leave.
Is it because she was so young that she forced herself to look like a young adult, maybe this is a motherless child?
Compared to her, when she thinks about herself, she is lucky. Her mother insisted that she died when she was seven years old. After she left, she didn't feel that she had lost her mother's love. The eldest lady put all her attention on her, making her still feel that she was a child under the care of her mother, and she didn't lack much.
She pulled her to sit down on the recliner in front of the window, handed her a handful of melon seeds, and planned to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.
Ye Qiuying refused to pick up the melon seeds, and whispered, "Sister Su Qi, I won't eat them."
"There is no one here." Su Rong said: "Even if there are people, the melon seeds are brought by the servants for people to eat. When you are young and love to eat snacks, why do you always restrain yourself?"
Su Rong stuffed melon seeds to her, "Eat it! Feel free to eat it! Now this is the yard where you will live in the future. In your own house, you can do everything. Besides, the days to come will be long. Do you want to be timid all day long? Are you afraid of being laughed at even if you eat a snack? Are you tired at a young age?"
Ye Qiuying looked at her.
Su Rong patted her on the head, "Let's eat, I know you are the lady of the Yexiang Mansion, and you will return to the Yexiang Mansion one day in the future. The rules of the Yexiang Mansion are very strict, aren't you? Are you afraid that if you break the rules now, you won't get used to it when you return to the Yexiang Mansion? It doesn't matter, the big deal is that I will take you to live in the palace, and you will follow me all day. Anyone who dares to say that your rules are not good, I will cut off their heads."
Ye Qiuying shook her head, her small face was very serious, "Sister Su Qi, even if you become the king, you can't cut off people's heads casually."
Su Rong smiled "ha", "Then I punish the board?"
Ye Qiuying was a little confused, she nodded, and silently started eating melon seeds.
Su Rong tilted her body on the reclining chair, crossed her legs, and said leisurely: "Xiao Qiuying, let me tell you, people live a lifetime, not for others to see, but for themselves. How can I do whatever I want, even if others look down on me, what does it matter? The most important thing is to feel comfortable."
Ye Qiuying whispered: "Sister Su Qi, you are not too comfortable, are you?"
Su Rong was immediately pierced by him. He sat up and stared at her, "You little child, why are you so bad at chatting?"
Ye Qiuying shut up.
Su Rong pinched her face viciously, "I'm comforting you, talking to you, why can't you see it?"
Ye Qiuying was pinched by her and giggled, "I see."
"Ghosts are strange. Sometimes they look like an adult, and then they really look like a child." Su Rong muttered and lay down again, "I'm not very good at persuading people, but one thing, you have to remember that it doesn't matter if your little uncle is gone. Your identity as the eldest grandson of the Yexiang Mansion is your amulet, and I am also your amulet. It is enough. Today you live in the East Palace, the prince is benevolent, and I have my face. No one in the palace will make things difficult for you. It will be the same when you return to the Yexiang Mansion in the future. Even if your stepmother has given birth to a younger brother, you are still the eldest grandson of the Yexiang Mansion. Besides, your little uncle likes you so much. He protects you. What are you afraid of? Do you know why he still didn’t take you away after I returned his tiger talisman and continued to put you in the East Palace? That’s because he knows that it’s absolutely impossible to take you back to Nanchu. Duke Cheng's mansion is afraid that you will be raised in a wrong way, and another thing is that in Daliang, as long as the crown prince wants to make things difficult for you, Duke Cheng's mansion can't protect you, so why not follow the earlier decision, trust me, trust the crown prince, and place you in the East Palace."
She peeled a melon seed, raised her hand and threw it into her mouth, "It can be said that he took great pains. For you, he almost chose to support me."
Su Rong tilted his head and smiled, "Huh? You know this too?"
Ye Qiuying nodded heavily, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "My little uncle came back from appreciating the plums that day, and he was very sad because you chose the little brother of the Zhou family."
Su Rong smiled, "Anyone who prepares for five years and returns empty-handed will be disappointed."
She withdrew her gaze, "I don't think you need me to talk to you, eat melon seeds, and someone will come and call us to eat later."
Ye Qiuying nodded.
Therefore, only the sound of crackling melon seeds was heard in the room, Su Rong was eating melon seeds very fast, she was eating three, Ye Qiuying was eating one, because the speed was too slow, Su Rong laughed at her, Ye Qiuying blushed, puffed her cheeks, and ignored her.
Half an hour later, someone came to shout, saying that His Royal Highness invited the two ladies to the front hall for lunch.
Su Rong clapped her hands and stood up, and as she got up, the melon seeds fell on the ground. Seeing Ye Qiuying staring at her with wide eyes, she proudly said, "Look, I have more melon seeds than you."
Ye Qiuying looked at the small pile of melon seeds she put on the table, blinking her big eyes.
"Let's go!" Su Rong stopped teasing her, and walked out neatly.
Ye Qiuying followed behind her, wiping her fingers with a handkerchief, and muttering in a low voice, "It's a pity that you ruined the white fox fur cloak that His Highness the Crown Prince gave you."
All the skins were covered with melon seeds, and she had never seen such a person who spoiled good things like this.
Su Rong heard it clearly, turned her head and stuck out her tongue at Ye Qiuying, "Little housekeeper, when I return to Nanchu Palace, I will take you back to be my housekeeper."
Ye Qiuying: "..."
She doesn't want it.
Giving someone like her a housekeeper would be exhausting.
The two came to the front hall, the court ladies and eunuchs were already serving dishes one after another, Yan Huisheng and Ye Guixue were sitting opposite each other, both of them were smiling, it can be seen that the conversation was very harmonious.
Su Rong sat down next to Yan Huisheng, rubbed his hands and said, "It's too cold today, it's windy outside, it looks like it might snow tonight."
Yan echoed and nodded, "Qin Tianjian observes the sky, and there is snow tonight."
Su Rong said with a smile: "Then I won't leave today, right? It's so cold, I don't bother to go back, so I will stay with Xiao Qiuying in the East Palace."
Ye Qiuying's eyes lit up, "Sister Su Qi, is it true?"
"Really." Su Rong said: "Tomorrow, I will get up early with you and send your little uncle off."
Ye Qiuying glanced at Ye Guixue, and said crisply: "Okay."
