Chapter 814 [Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 4]
The next morning, before it was completely light, Hongli had already gotten up and headed for the court. At this time, Youyou was still asleep, but was gently awakened by Ningdong.
"Miss, wake up, it's time to go to the main courtyard to pay respects to the lady in charge." Ning Dong called softly.
Youyou slowly opened her eyes, only to feel a sharp pain in her waist, and her whole body felt like it was falling apart. She subconsciously touched her body and found that it was covered with bruises. Ningshuang, who was standing by, couldn't help but frown and whispered, "The prince is really something, he doesn't know how to feel sorry for the master at all. Look at what he has done to the master. I don't know when these scars will heal."
Ning Dong quickly glared at Ning Shuang and warned in a low voice, "Shuang'er, we are the master's people, so you have to be careful when you speak. If someone hears what you say, the master will suffer in the end."
Ning Shuang realized that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly covered her mouth. She said to Ning Dong with an apologetic look on her face: "I'm sorry, Sister Dong'er, I was in a hurry and didn't control my mouth. I just felt too sorry for the master."
Youyou endured the pain and sat up, smiling and comforting the two: "Okay, okay, Ningdong, don't blame Shuang'er, my little housekeeper. Besides, there are no outsiders here, only the three of us. Shuang'er has always been straightforward, nothing will happen to her."
At this time, Ning Dong remembered that she had something important to ask, so she asked, "Miss, you are going to meet the first wife today, what clothes do you plan to wear?"
Youyou thought for a moment and replied, "Let's go with the light blue Manchu dress. It looks refreshing and pleasant. As for the headdress, it should be simple and fresh, not too complicated."
Ning Dong nodded and replied, "Yes, master. I will prepare it right away." After that, she turned around to choose clothes and accessories for her master.
After finishing her dress, Youyou carefully examined herself in the mirror, making sure that every detail was flawless. She was wearing a light pink brocade gown embroidered with exquisite floral patterns, and a white ribbon tied around her waist, which made her look even more graceful. She had an exquisite bun on her head, adorned with a few pearl and jade hairpins, and her face was slightly powdered, with eyebrows as black as distant black and lips as red as cherries. She looked dignified, beautiful, and lively.
Ning Dong, who was standing by, also packed up. The master and servant smiled at each other and left together. Ning Shuang stayed in the room, sorting out the dowry items she brought yesterday in an orderly manner, placing them neatly one by one.
Youyou and Ningdong walked side by side, and soon they arrived at the main courtyard gate. The gate was wide open, and a maid had been waiting there. It was Su Lian, who was beside the concubine. Seeing Youyou coming, Su Lian hurriedly stepped forward, bowed slightly and said, "Good luck to the concubine, please come in." As she said that, she led Youyou into the courtyard and told other servants to serve good tea.
After Youyou sat down, Su Lian smiled and said, "Please sit for a while and drink some tea to moisten your throat. She is still putting on makeup, so you may have to wait a little longer."
Youyou nodded gently and replied, "It's okay, it's okay. I guess I came too early." After that, she picked up the teacup and took a sip. She felt the fragrance of tea filling the air, which made her feel relaxed and happy.
Just like that, Youyou sat quietly in the hall and waited. After about a cup of tea, she finally heard footsteps coming from far away.
Then, Fucha Langhuan walked out slowly with the help of Su Lian. Fucha Langhuan was dressed in a royal blue cheongsam today, which made her look noble and elegant. She wore a gorgeous headdress on her head, and her hairpins swayed lightly, sparkling and shining.
Upon seeing this, Youyou quickly stood up and saluted, saying respectfully, "I pay my respects to the legitimate wife. May the legitimate wife be well and safe."
Fu Cha Lang Huan smiled slightly, extended his hand to support her, and said softly: "Sister, please stop being polite. We are all family, there is no need to be so polite."
When Youyou stood up straight, Fucha Langhuan looked her up and down, nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Sister is really born beautiful, this outfit makes you look even more charming and lovely."
Youyou smiled shyly and said softly, "Thank you for your praise, Madam. I am ashamed to accept it."
Fu Cha Lang Huan pulled You You to sit down together, and asked with concern: "Sister, this is your first time here, I wonder if you are getting used to living here? If there is anything you are missing, just tell me."
Youyou was filled with gratitude and quickly replied, "I am deeply grateful for your concern. I was really touched by your gift of dinner yesterday."
"You're welcome, sister." Fu Cha Lang Huan smiled and said softly. Her beautiful eyes were as clear and moving as autumn water, and the corners of her mouth were raised with an elegant arc.
Then she turned to look at the maid Su Lian beside her and ordered, "Su Lian, go and get the gift I specially prepared for my sister." Her voice was gentle yet majestic.
"Yes, Fu Jin." Su Lian responded respectfully and turned away. Not long after, she came back holding a delicate box carefully in her hands.
Fu Cha Lang Huan stretched out her jade hand and gently took the box, slowly opening the lid. In an instant, a brilliant light emanated from the box, which was eye-catching. It turned out that the box contained an exquisite jasper hairpin and a pair of crystal clear purple jade bracelets.
Fucha Langhuan picked up the jasper hairpin and purple jade bracelet, handed them to Youyou, and said softly: "Sister, come and take a look. Do you like them? This jasper hairpin has a warm color and fine carving; this pair of purple jade bracelets is full of water and rich in color. In my opinion, they are a perfect match for you, sister!"
Youyou looked at it carefully and couldn't help but secretly marvel in her heart. It was indeed made by Fucha. Such precious treasures are rare in the world. This kind of handicraft is not something that ordinary people can have. She showed a happy smile on her face and said hurriedly: "Then I would like to thank the legitimate wife. Such exquisite jewelry, I naturally love it. Ningdong, quickly take it for me."
Ning Dong, who was standing aside, heard this and hurriedly stepped forward, took the box from Fu Cha Langhuan, and held it steadily in his hand.
At this time, Fu Cha Langhuan opened her red lips and continued, "I'm glad that you like it, and it won't be in vain. Oh, by the way, in two days, Princess Qing and Princess Gao will enter the mansion. Speaking of Princess Qing, you should have met her once." At this point, her eyes swept towards Youyou intentionally or unintentionally, as if there was some other meaning.
Youyou knew in her heart that Fucha Langhuan was clearly trying to stir up a fight between her and Qingying so that she could reap the benefits. However, she remained calm and just smiled and nodded, indicating that she did know about it.
"To be honest, the relationship between Princess Qing and our prince is really deep! They grew up together, and their friendship is something no one else can compare to. The prince has always valued Princess Qing." Fu Cha Langhuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the person in front of him with a smile, and said slowly.
When Youyou heard this, her heart tightened, but she still responded with a decent smile: "Madam, what you said is a bit biased. Everyone knows that you and the prince are the real couple with deep love. In this palace, the prince must value you the most."
However, Fucha Langhuan saw that Youyou did not follow his meaning at all, so he knew that this trick did not work, so he could only shake his head helplessly, give up the topic for the time being, and said: "It's getting late. Tomorrow, the wife of the emperor plans to bring my sister to the palace to pay respects to the empresses. So, I hope my sister can come here early tomorrow and don't miss the time."
Youyou quickly responded, "Okay, Madam. I've made a note of it and will come early tomorrow."
Fu Cha Lang Huan nodded with satisfaction, and then continued, "In that case, there is nothing else to do today. From now on, I only need to come here once on the first and fifteenth day of each month to pay my respects. As for the rest of the time, if there is really something important that I need my sister's help or knowledge, I will send my servants to tell you."
"Yes, Madam Madam is right. I understand, and I will take my leave now." After saying that, Youyou respectfully bowed to Fucha Langhuan, then turned around and slowly left the room.
After Youyou left, Fucha Langhuan leaned gently on the back of the chair, with a barely perceptible sneer on the corner of his mouth.
