It had only been an hour since Zhong Ruhuang finished her breakfast, so she wasn't very hungry at the moment.

She brushed the non-existent dust off her sleeves and closed the book on the desk.

"Fan Fish."

She called out Fan Yu.

Fan Yu had been waiting outside the door.

Hearing her call, he answered and pushed the door open.

"Your Highness, it's time for lunch. Do you want to have lunch?"

"Well, let's go."

The reason why Zhong Ruhuang asked Fan Yu to come in was also because of this matter.

She was not some princess who was detached from the mundane world. Before her home was demolished in her previous life, she was a child from an ordinary family. She knew too well how ordinary people lived.

Although she is now a princess, she also knows that the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace do not have a good life in private.

Her share of food for an imperial princess was fixed. Even if she didn't eat it, she could give it to the eunuchs under her.

After all, the princess's food was all individually prepared and was exquisite and delicious.

The eunuchs and palace servants all had food from a big pot, boiled cabbage with steamed corn bread, and occasionally a large steamed bun. Meat was provided once every ten days or half a month, but some eunuchs and palace servants couldn't even get it.

The food that personal eunuchs like Fan Yu eat is a little better, but it is still stewed vegetables and meat, and the taste is not very good.

Sometimes, when Zhong Ruhuang ordered a meal but was not hungry, she would give the meal to the guest as a reward.

However, not too many times.

She knew very well what it meant to be grateful for a little help and to resent a little help for a little help. She couldn't let her subordinates know that she was too easy to talk to, otherwise she would lose her dignity.

Fan Yu came back soon with lunch.

The easternmost part of the palace where the princess lives belongs to the outer palace, which is separated from the inner palace by several high walls.

Directly south of the Princess' Residence, separated by two walls, is the Imperial Medical Service. This is where the Imperial Medical Service is located, also far away from the inner palace, in the outer palace.

Directly north of the Princess' Residence, that is, behind it, is the kitchen that belongs to the Princess' Residence, which is responsible for preparing three meals a day for the Princesses.

There were only three walls separating them, so Fan Yu came back quickly and the food in the lunch box was still hot.

Zhong Ruhuang didn't order food very often. She usually ate whatever the imperial chefs prepared.

However, after so many years, the royal chefs have some understanding of her taste, and the food they make is basically what she likes.

Fan Yu arranged the meal, and Zhong Ruhuang ate a bowl of white rice with the dishes and then stopped.

If she hadn't been going to attend the flower-viewing banquet hosted by the Imperial Consort Xiao Jin, she wouldn't have really wanted to eat in order to avoid harm from her food.

But in order to avoid being hungry and eating something you shouldn’t eat later, it is necessary to fill your stomach now.

Zhong Ruhuang pointed at the meat dishes that she had only touched twice or three times with her chopsticks and said, "Take them down and share them."

Fan Yu nodded in agreement, then he cleaned up the table and went downstairs with the food box.

The flower-viewing banquet is at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhong Ruhuang planned to arrive a quarter of an hour earlier.

It takes two quarters of an hour, or half an hour, to walk from the Princess' Residence to the Imperial Garden.

There was no other way. The princess residence where Zhong Ruhuang was located was in the outer palace, not within the inner palace. There were several high walls between the two, and it would take a lot of time just to take a detour.

At this moment, it was only the beginning of the afternoon, that is, one o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhong Ruhuang planned to sit for another half an incense stick of time before setting off.

Unexpectedly, she had a good idea.

But she forgot that there was more than one princess in the Imperial Palace.

The sixth princess, Zhong Qihuang, born to the imperial concubine Xiao Jin, also lives with the princesses.

Zhong Qihuang had received Xiao Jin's instructions long ago. Seeing that the flower-viewing banquet was about to begin and Zhong Ruhuang, who lived in East Fifth Building, had not yet left, she took the initiative to come to her door.

"Fifth sister."

The sixth princess, Zhong Qihuang, was of impetuous temperament. She started shouting as soon as she entered Zhong Ruhuang's yard.

When Zhong Ruhuang heard her voice, she knew why she came.

Needless to say, it was Xiao Jin's order.

It seems that the Imperial Concubine Xiao Jin really has no intention of giving up.

Just don't give up until you have plotted to send her to Chaotian Pass.

Zhong Ruhuang complained in her heart as she walked out of the study with a faint smile on her face, which looked very sincere.

"Sixth sister, why are you here?"

Zhong Qihuang grabbed Zhong Ruhuang's sleeve and pulled her out.

"Fifth sister, I'm here to invite you to attend my father's flower-viewing banquet. Didn't my father send you an invitation yesterday? The banquet is about to start. If you don't go now, it will be too late."

Zhong Ruhuang sighed secretly in her heart, followed the force of the Sixth Princess pulling her, and took two steps.

"I know. I was about to leave, but I can't arrive too early. After all, the Imperial Garden is full of male relatives. As a foreign woman, it's better to avoid suspicion."

The imperial wife, Xiao Jin, was a prudent person and it was impossible for anyone to catch her, so he not only invited Zhong Ruhuang, but also other imperial princesses.

"Oh, Fifth Sister, Father didn't invite only you. We sisters will sit separately from the male relatives when the time comes, so don't worry."

You saying that makes me even more worried.

"Okay, okay, I'll leave now. Can you let go of my sleeve?"

When Zhong Qihuang heard Zhong Ruhuang say this, he let go of her sleeves.

Zhong Ruhuang straightened her sleeves and then stepped out of her yard.

Zhong Qihuang went with her.

Her personal eunuch Fang Mu took Zhong Ruhuang's personal eunuch Fan Yu with him.

Seeing this, Fan Yu rolled his eyes and started talking to Fang Mu in a low voice, trying to get some information from him.

"Sister Fang, have you eaten lunch?"

Fan Yu is a tall and thin man with an ordinary face, the kind that you can hardly find in a crowd.

Fang Mu is a bit fat, but fortunately she is tall and looks very strong, a little silly.

But if you think she is really stupid, you are wrong.

If she was really stupid, she wouldn't be the personal eunuch of the Sixth Princess Zhong Qihuang.

This guy is very smart.

Fang Mu guessed a little bit about what Huang Guifu Xiao Jin was thinking, but she would not tell anyone.

She followed Fan Yu's words and said, "I ate it. His Highness also gave me half a roast chicken as a reward. It was so delicious that it melted in my mouth and left a lingering fragrance on my lips and teeth..."

Fan Yu: ………

I'm not here to discuss with you what she really ate at noon. She also received a reward from His Highness.

Fan Yu reluctantly talked to Fang Mu about the topic of food.

Zhong Ruhuang and Zhong Qihuang, who were walking in front, were also talking as they walked.

Zhong Qihuang said in an envious tone: "Congratulations to Fifth Sister, you're getting married so soon."

She didn't envy him at all. He was just the son of an imperial merchant who was not worthy of being in the limelight. She even despised him for being her concubine.

The corner of Zhong Ruhuang's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked honest.

"Sixth Princess is right. It was my fault after all. I was immoral after drinking and ruined someone's reputation. I must be held responsible."

Anyway, she appears to be an honest person outside, and she is a little bit stupid. She cannot understand the implicit meaning of other people's words and can only understand the superficial meaning.

When Zhong Qihuang heard Zhong Ruhuang say this, he rolled his eyes in his heart and felt that he, the fifth sister, was extremely stupid.

She was just stupid. She thought she was the one who ruined someone's reputation and never thought about whether someone was framing her.
