Fast Travel: The Mountains and the Seas Are Allies

Chapter 124 I'll Raise You (18)

As he said that, Du Ruo said affectionately to Shen Jiahui: "I hope that Miss and the Empress Dowager will speak more kind words to His Highness~ After all, last time, the Empress Dowager called the slaves to greet His Highness with such fanfare, but I know everything about it! I know this, I know that His Highness is a gentleman deliberately avoiding his daughter-in-law, but I don’t know, I thought it was His Highness who was unfilial and deliberately refused to greet his mother, or that His Majesty was unkind and forced The crown prince directly disregarded the rules of his ancestors and disrespected his elders!"

"You! As a female official of the Eastern Palace, how can you speak such lies and know no sense of proportion! My aunt is the empress dowager, and you, a small sixth-rank female official, can talk freely!

Your Highness, this new female official in your palace still lacks the discipline of the nuns. After all, the people in the Eastern Palace walk outside, and every word and deed represents you, His Royal Highness. If it is like this, you don’t know how to manage it The girl of my own mouth stays in the East Palace, and what should I do if I lose her face to His Highness outside? "

"I don't need to bother Miss Shen about the matter of the East Palace." After finishing speaking, Fourth Master grabbed Du Ruo's wrist and entered the study room in the main hall without looking back.

"Your Highness!"

When Du Ruo entered the main hall, he turned directly to the side hall on the left. Li An tidied up the inside very well, not as square as the outside, and also brought a lot of cute little details.

Like the reclining chair that looks very comfortable, the fox fur cushions that can be seen everywhere, and the flowers on the flower table are all very wild.

"He took a lot of thought."

"That's what I ordered."

Du Ruo chuckled, turned around and hugged Mao Siye's arm with a smile, put her chin on his shoulder, and said coquettishly, "Yes, yes, if it wasn't because of the Lord, he would know who I am? How could it be?" Treat me like this? I want to thank you very much~ What do you want for dinner? How about I cook for myself?"

After being coaxed for a few words like a child, the fourth master turned his head away uncomfortably, but still grabbed the person who was about to leave for the dining room: "What are you doing? You have to do everything. What do you want from them?" Use it." If they were together every day, it would be fun to cook occasionally. But after all, they were reunited after a long separation. He didn't want Du Ruo to waste time on those chores: "After dinner later, you can come early. Rest, I will take you out of the palace tomorrow and go to the Du family to have a look and recognize the people."

"You have to admit it. Don't make any jokes in the future. Will you be free in this meeting? Tell me about the situation of the Du family, okay?"

"The Du family used to be just an ordinary craftsman. It was the old man of the Du family, Du De, who was good at communication and planning, and he was scolded for being sorry for his ancestors. He told the three sons not to let them learn their crafts, but to let them study since they were young. Tanhualang's second son. And you borrowed the identity Du Ruo," said the fourth master, holding Du Ruo's hand with one hand, and wrote down the difference between the two names, and then continued: "This is Tanhualang Du Xingzhi's second-law daughter is an old woman, but she was weak since she was a child, and she got orders from a master from somewhere, so she was sent to a nunnery in the suburbs of Beijing for training. But the number of times I have met with my biological parents is very small, let alone the elder brothers and sisters in the next room."

Du Ruo nodded obediently, that is to say, it is almost impossible for others to recognize the difference between her and Du Ruo.

"Du Ruo has a direct elder sister, two direct elder brothers, and two concubine sisters and two concubine brothers, all of whom are married. The eldest son of the direct sister's eldest brother is 12 years old this year."

"The age difference is so old?"

"Well, so they are direct brothers and sisters. There is such a big age difference, and the two places have been separated for a long time. They are not considered close or familiar. You can rest assured. The rest are here." The fourth master handed Du Ruo a stack. Zizhi: "The relationship between the three rooms of the Du family, the big and small servants in the mansion, and some big and small things that have happened in the mansion over the years are all included. You just have to take a closer look. As for your identity, the whole Du Only Du Xingzhi, Du Xingzhi's wife Guan Shi, and the old man of the Du family, Du De, know about the family."

Du Ruo quickly scanned his mind, nodded and replied, "Yes, yes, the less you know about this kind of thing, the better."

"There are pros and cons to this. Even if Du De and Du Xingzhi said they would restrain the whole family, it is inevitable that some people will be confused and want to borrow some advantage of their status to get some benefits from you. If you want to talk to them, just talk to them In other words, it’s okay if you don’t want to, just refuse it and see you, this status is just for your convenience, if it brings you trouble instead, it’s not worth the candle.”

"Enn, I know this. Back then, I had twenty or so sisters-in-law, so I still couldn't learn it!"

By the time Du Ruo had almost finished scanning, dinner had arrived.

As soon as the dishes were served, there was indeed a dish of crab, which was tofu with crab roe.

"It's cold after all, so don't use it too much." The fourth master noticed that Du Ruo's gaze stayed on the plate of crab yolk tofu for a long time, and thought it was because the portion was too small, so he had no choice but to comfort him: "During the whole autumn, every day has its way. "

Du Ruo withdrew his gaze, picked up a large piece of fish belly meat, picked the thorn carefully, and brought it to Fourth Master Mao's mouth.

The fourth master was taken aback by Du Ruo's sudden 'serving', but in fact it was not serving. After all, this attitude and action lacked a little distance and awe, but was full of intimacy, which made people feel at ease, so he opened his mouth to fish with chopsticks directly into the mouth.

Well, today's fish is good, better than the freshness of the past.

Then, the fourth master Mao seemed to have turned on some switch, and started to feed the other party like Du Ruo, picking fish bones and picking ribs. After all, he still remembered Du Ruo's preference. Although he added two chopsticks and vegetables in the middle, he still fed him meat. For the Lord, in just a short while, Du Ruo was eighty percent full.

Touching her slightly protruding belly, Du Ruo looked straight at Siye Mao, who had almost eaten her fish with chopsticks from head to now, and began to feed him.

Then you feed me, and I feed you, the two of them didn't think there was anything wrong, but Li An gritted his teeth when he saw it, and directly lowered his head and nodded his eyes to avoid it.

The next day, when Du Ruo got up, Fourth Master Mao had already gone to court.

"Master Du, this servant is waiting for you to wash up."

Du Ruo nodded, having no choice but to accept that Man Dong Palace called her 'Master Du'.

"His Royal Highness asked Eunuch Li to prepare some gifts, and went forward and ordered the slaves to bring you the list when you wake up. If you think there is something wrong, just ask Eunuch Liu to open the storeroom and pick it up."

Du Ruo took a look at this unfamiliar eunuch before taking the list. I have to say that this gift is a bit heavy, after all, she is only a female official of the East Palace now, and she is not returning from three dynasties.

"Leave half of the ginseng medicine, [-]% of the hairpin, ring and hairpin bracelet, and [-]% of each kind of Shu brocade. Well, it's almost the same."
