Prince’s Brutal Consort - C102
“That’s not it. I brought you something good today.”
“What?” She turned her head back in curiosity, but it seemed like she wasn’t angry at all. She already knew what kind of person he was. Even though he had a woman’s face and body, his personality was like a kid.
He placed his hand on his chin and said mysteriously, “It’s the thing you want.”
“Watch?” She had only ever asked for that from him.
“Hey, can you not guess it instantly? It’s way too fast, right? How boring.” A Lei looked at her with regret. He didn’t seem very willing.
“Then let me guess again. Say, is it a fan?” However, this was the kind of person who liked her for being so heartless. That was why Xi Men Rui liked her, while Li Fengyin also refused to go around in the capital trying to trick him.
“No need to guess. It’s really boring. It’s just a watch. However, the battery doesn’t seem to have any electricity. You’d better choose a sunny day before moving on. That way, you might be able to wear the battery back.”
“Give it to me.” Thinking of her own child, thinking of the heartless Xi Men Rui Xue, Ruo Ruo really wanted to wear them back now.
“Then you have to help me choose between Xi Men Rui Wu and Li Feng.”
Although it was still soft, it still made him furrow his brows, “Qin Zhiruo, why did you do that to me?”
“You, all you have on your mind is handsome men, I’m going back, what about you?” Seeing that Cui Er had not come back yet, Zhiruo asked worriedly.
“Hehe, I checked my backpack the day before yesterday and there are actually two identical watches inside. You can put them back on and take a handsome guy back with you when I’m tired of playing in the ancient times.”
“You …”
“I what?” He stuck out his tongue and grinned. “I don’t know if I’ll be able to wear it again next time, so it’ll be a waste if I don’t bring it with me.”
“You only know how to bring handsome men, not me, I want to bring something that I can use with me.”
“Bring what?” Immediately, his interest was piqued.
“I’ve decided to take a lot of things with me when I go back.”
“You want to go back and open a shop?” After knocking on Ruo Ruo’s head, he looked at Ruo Ruo with a puzzled expression.
“Jin Ming, have you ever thought about the fact that the things brought back from here can be considered as ancient items? Even a bowl and a plate can be considered priceless. Do you think ten of them would be enough for me?” She really wanted to go home and take a look at her little place. She didn’t know if it was still empty, but thinking back to how long she had been here, that little place must have been rented out already.
“Enough. You are even greedier than me. I am only one person, yet you want to bring so many things.”
“Why are you bringing people, and why are you giving them food and clothes? Men here are like antiques, they don’t know how to do anything yet they want me to make money to raise them. I don’t want anything else, I want to bring some good stuff like embroidery.” The more he thought about it, the happier he became. A child without anything else could really be taken, but he couldn’t really want a child that even had a father, right?
While the two were happily chatting, Cui Er had already brewed some tea. As soon as she stepped over the threshold, the room was filled with the fragrance of tea, very fragrant, “Ruo Ruo, the tea here is really good, all the food here is green, there is absolutely no fertilizer. Ruo Ruo, please bring some …”
“Cough …” Ruo Ruo covered her mouth and started to cough. The words’ A Chi ‘really made her speechless. Besides, everyone knew that she was going to wear it back. When the weather cleared up, she would definitely be locked in here.
He obediently drank the Imperial Tea in the palace. The color of the tea was still green, but he made Cui Er listen to his words and took note of them in her heart. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t understand why he wanted her to bring the tea with him. However, she had to report this to Ximen Ruixue. Otherwise, if anything really went wrong and Ximen Ruixue found out about it, she would definitely be punished by Ximen Ruixue again.
This time, he didn’t formally spare her, saying that he would first wait for the ‘Xiao Yuezi’ to appear before doing anything else.
The two chatted for a while longer, and compared to the other people in the palace, they were much more comfortable, at least they could speak freely and not be so formal. They really liked being together, and seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, Ruo Ruo took the opportunity before Cui’er mentioned that she was going to send him away, and said: “Su Ming, stay for dinner.”
“All right, girl, I’ve told the kitchenette to prepare dinner for the two of you.” The emperor had said that no matter what he did, he would just let her be happy. He said that Xiao Yuanzi would definitely be happy. Seeing that she was happily chatting with him, Cui’er had long since prepared his dinner.
Ruo Ruo was overjoyed. This was great.
But, Ruo Ruo was happy for a while, because, immediately, he objected, “No way, it’s getting dark, I have to go back now, in a while Ah Wu will come back, hehe, I want to play darts, whoever loses will have to write a note, but it’s fun, Ruo Ruo, I’m not staying, I’m going back.” With that, he lifted his leg and was about to leave.
“Hey …” Ruoruo hurriedly called out to him, “Come back, you can’t leave.”
When he turned around, he smiled, “Don’t worry, I’ll bring you what you want tomorrow. Hehe, since it’s like this, you should let me go.”
“No, Su Ming, let’s have dinner together.”
“I don’t want to eat your Lunar Child’s food. I don’t have a Lunar child, so I’m leaving.” In the blink of an eye, he disappeared, leaving behind only Ruoruo in a daze as she left in that direction.
After a long while, Cui’er said softly, “Miss, do we need to add something?”
“Huh?” She asked in confusion, not understanding what Cui’er meant.
“Didn’t I just say that I would bring something for you? Is there something wrong with Cui’er that we haven’t prepared for the young lady? ” Cui’er asked in confusion, she really did not understand what A’ch wanted to bring over.
Ruo Ruo’s heart tensed up. Look at how unconcealed Lei Qi was, it really caused her death. “Oh, it’s nothing. She said that the bowls and plates at her place are really beautiful. She wants to show them to me.”
“Pfft”, Cui’er wanted to hold back her laughter, “So it’s this, tonight I will send someone to bring some of the finest and most exquisite sets from the palace, this young lady can pick any of them, if you like it you can stay in our Fragrance Pavilion.”
“Lotus Fragrance Pavilion?” Since when did she live in a place called the Lotus Fragrance Pavilion?
“That’s right, the Emperor named this place after him. He said that this place will be called Fragrant Lotus Pavilion from now on.”
“Hehe, that’s nice to listen to, let’s call it the Incense Lotus Pavilion. In the meantime, help me find a few porcelain vases, I want to put them in my room for decoration.” If a person wanted to leave, they could simply call themselves whatever they liked here.
“Okay, after Miss has eaten Cui’er’s dinner, I’ll send someone to prepare it. Miss will think about it again, is there anything else you’re still missing?”
He really didn’t understand why Cui Er and Xi Men Ruoxue would suddenly treat him so well. However, since he had given her the chance, she didn’t need to use it for nothing, since there were too many of those things. He didn’t care about it at all, so he just added on, “I want a purse, various pouches, and spices.” When the time came, she would bring them all with her. Hmph! Once she returned, she would never come back. At that time, she would be like a rich woman who could be sold at will.
Just think, it’s beautiful.
After Cui Er finished serving her, she seriously went to prepare the things that she had just ordered.
Looking at Cui Er’s back, Ruo Ruo sighed with a bit of guilt. She did not want to lie to Cui’er, but when she thought of Xi Men Rui Xue, she had to leave.
From the time of the accident until now, she had never heard of the punishment of the empress dowager, but yesterday she had clearly fallen into the water with the empress dowager.
He was still protecting Yun Ru Xi, and the two of them had something to do with this. Ruo Ruo’s memories had told her about this, and the people in the Qin Residence had also quietly discussed this with each other behind her back. After all, Qin Zhilan was the Queen that Xi Men Rui had decided on long ago.
When he thought back to that scene in his memory, the meaning behind the servant girl’s words clearly meant that Xi Men Rui Xue and Yun Ru Xi were having an affair.
Heavens, how could this be?
No matter what, Yun Ruixi was still the mother of Ximen Ruixue, it would be incest for him to be with her. However, once he thought about how Ximen Ruixue had carried her in the carriage that day, he was sure that the relationship between Ximen Ruixue and Yun Ruixi was not ordinary.
He couldn’t sleep no matter how he thought about it. His good mood immediately disappeared.
Child, her child.
He didn’t know whether to blame himself or not, but tears started streaming down his face. He couldn’t stop himself from falling into a daze.
Quietly turning to the bed, she said in a muffled voice, “Put out the candle flame. You can all go out now. I want to sleep.”
After receiving amnesty, the palace maid that was on duty for Cui’er went to extinguish the candle, causing the room to turn dark.
The night of early autumn was neither cold nor hot, but it was actually quite comfortable. Fortunately, it was such a day. If it was a summer’s time, it would be uncomfortable.
A ray of light suddenly flashed in the darkness. When he turned around to look, he found that it was already raining outside the window.
