The mistress is mighty, bringing 88 dowries to flatten the Marquis's mansion
Chapter 58: Gifts from the Princess's Mansion
The wind blew and the surroundings fell into dead silence.
Ruan Shuhuan tried several times but failed to maintain her smile, so she simply frowned: "Ms. Tang really loves to joke around, when did I ever plan a marriage swap?"
Tang Ruyun touched his chin and said, "You didn't? But I heard many people say that the daughter of the Ruan family's eldest wife sent both sedan chairs to the Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion, and when Lord Xie went to pick them up, the mansion was still..."
"Miss Tang!"
Ruan Shuhuan raised her voice, with a hint of warning in her tone: "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. Be careful what you say."
Seeing Ruan Shuhuan getting serious, Tang Ruyun spread his hands and said, "You said that words can cause trouble, but the Crown Prince's Consort is really stingy. She doesn't even dare to let others know what she did."
She seemed to be talking to herself, and when Ruan Shuhuan was about to get angry, she suddenly raised her voice.
"Shuyan, let's go in quickly, don't let her wait anxiously."
So, Ruan Shuyan, who had been silent all the time, was pulled into the *** mansion by her, leaving Ruan Shuhuan staring at their figures for a long time before she gritted her teeth and stepped into the mansion.
At that time, Ruan Shuyan had been taken to see *** by Tang Ruyun.
She was a very gentle woman with dignified features and a faint smile on her face that made people feel good about her at first sight.
"Meet ***."
*** raised his hand slightly: "No need to be polite, sit down."
Ruan Shuyan hesitated for a moment, but seeing Tang Ruyun sat down directly, she followed suit.
*** looked at her behavior, and the curve of his lips suddenly deepened: "I heard that the seventh princess of Qi State went to the Xie family to cause trouble two days ago?"
This should be known to everyone, right?
Ruan Shuyan thought about it, nodded and replied: "Yes."
*** sighed: "I don't know what my father was thinking. He actually let a princess of Qi mess around in the official residence of our dynasty. It's really..."
She shook her head and didn't say anything else.
But the previous sentence mentioning the emperor still made the room fall into silence.
Both Ruan Shuyan and Tang Ruyun were silent at this moment. Some things could only be said by private persons, but others could not hear them.
As time passed, *** raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why, are you scared by what I said?"
Ruan Shuyan lowered her head and said nothing.
Tang Ruyun clenched his fist, put it to his lips and coughed: "Since Your Highness knows, why bother to say it out loud?"
Judging from the tone, are Tang Ruyun and *** very familiar with each other?
Doubts arose in Ruan Shuyan's heart, but her expression remained unchanged.
The *** looked at Tang Ruyun and said unhappily, "In this huge *** mansion, there is no one who talks to me on weekdays. What's wrong with scaring you?"
She looked righteous and confident. Tang Ruyun held his forehead and said, "Your Highness, listen to what you said. Is there any connection between what you said and what you said?"
*** raised his chin slightly: "If I say yes, then yes."
Tang Ruyun was speechless and could only pick up the teacup beside him and drink the tea in silence.
At the side, Ruan Shuyan judged ***'s temperament from their conversation, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
This *** is not entirely kind and gentle.
Just then, a little maid came in and said, "Your Highness, the ladies from all the families have arrived."
***'s expression became serious, and then he straightened his clothes and said, "Let's go to the garden."
Ruan Shuyan fell behind and followed the leader silently. Soon, she saw the ladies and noble girls gathered in the garden. She didn't know what they were talking about, but the atmosphere was very lively.
But is it really okay for so many people to go to Wan'an Temple to worship Buddha?
Ruan Shuyan was thinking when the little maid behind her suddenly said, "Damn it——"
After the drawn-out announcement, everyone who was chatting turned around and saluted.
"See ***."
*** raised his hand slightly, and said in a dignified tone: "No need to be polite. I invited you all here today just to talk about some recent things in the capital. You don't have to be restrained."
Ruan Shuyan tilted her head slightly. Isn't this worshiping Buddha?
Doubts flashed through Ruan Shuyan's mind, and she followed the man forward calmly.
Soon, everyone took their seats.
Many people's eyes swept over Ruan Shuyan. Although they were just a quick glance, the sights one after another still made Ruan Shuyan feel a little unhappy.
But soon, she discovered another problem. Why did these ladies and noble ladies all have a box in their hands? Could it be a gift they brought?
At this time, *** asked: "What are you holding in your hand?"
After a brief silence, a lady came out and said, "It was sent by the Crown Prince's wife. She said it's good for the skin and can cleanse the face."
"Skin? What is that?"
***Surprisingly, she didn't understand these two words.
The lady said, "It's the skin on your face."
She pointed to her face, and *** understood immediately.
"I see. Where is the Crown Prince's Consort now?"
"***, I am here."
Ruan Shuhuan, accompanied by her maid Luyun, trotted into the garden. Sweat was dripping down her cheeks, but her eyes were full of excitement.
"This is the facial cleansing soap that I specially prepared for the princess. I hope the princess will accept it."
She gave a signal and Lu Yun, who was following behind her, immediately stepped forward and handed over the box in her hands with both hands.
However, *** did not move, and even the people around him frowned.
How can I let a maid deliver the gift for the emperor?
And he handed it directly to ***, there is really no rules!
As time passed, Ruan Shuhuan noticed something unusual in the stiff atmosphere, and the smile on her face gradually froze.
"Your Highness, you..."
*** glanced at her, and finally did not give Ruan Shuhuan any more time: "Take it."
"Yes!"
The maid next to her came forward and took the box from Luyun.
At this point, Ruan Shuhuan also reacted, and the expression on her face became increasingly stiff.
"Okay, take a seat."
Ruan Shuhuan bowed and walked silently to the corner and sat down.
Ruan Shuyan had been watching from the sidelines, and seeing this, she couldn't help but shake her head secretly, but she felt a little strange in her heart.
Ruan Shuhuan has learned the rules, why would she do such a stupid thing today?
On the other side, *** talked with the ladies of various families about the things happening in the capital.
Ruan Shuyan gathered her thoughts and continued to listen quietly. She soon found out why the police gathered these people together - it was a warning.
*** is warning the families not to act recklessly on behalf of the emperor.
It's just that ***'s posture is too soft, and people know the reason, but they don't dislike it much.
An hour later, the ladies and noble ladies of each family withdrew. Ruan Shuhuan left among the crowd with a solemn expression.
At the same time, Ruan Shuyan was dragged to the backyard of the house by Tang Ruyun.
"Snapped!"
A box rolled out of the house, revealing its contents, which turned out to be a lotus flower.
