"You didn't ask, why should I tell you?"
Yan Muxi still looked as lazy as a boneless person, leaning on the soft pillow and letting Dong Yu fiddle with her shoulders and legs.
Yan Muyun was choked and speechless. She rolled her eyes and turned away, ignoring her.
There was no conversation along the way, and the carriage soon arrived at Rong'an Street where the Rong Prince's Mansion was located. The steward of the inner court was already waiting at the gate of the palace, and the sedan chair was ready for carrying people.
It was a bit impolite to ride in a sedan chair in someone else's house, but looking at the towering residence that stretched as far as the eye could see, neither of them could say no.
The sedan bearers in the palace seemed to have some experience and were very fast. It took them nearly half an hour to walk from the outer courtyard to Zhuxiang Hall where the princess lived. If the female members of the family were wearing embroidered shoes, it would take at least an hour.
Yuanxiang Hall is located in the northeast corner of the palace, with a natural lake in front of it. Looking across the water, the houses in the distance seem unreal as if they were in a painting. The simple courtyard with blue bricks and blue tiles is very different from the luxurious style of the palace with carved beams and painted pillars. If you ignore the surrounding buildings, you might think you have arrived at a farmer's house.
It is said that Princess Rong was born as a peasant girl, and she saved the seriously injured Prince Rong while washing clothes by the river. Prince Rong was grateful for her life-saving grace, and despite the heavy pressure from the royal family, he married her back to the palace and gave her the status of his legal wife.
Princess Rong grew up freely in the fields and was not used to living in the palace compound, so Prince Rong built a farmhouse for her in the palace that was exactly the same as her home.
From this we can see that the old Prince Rong loved this young princess who came from a farming family very much.
As you enter the house through the curtains, warmth hits you in the face. Compared to the simple exterior, the furnishings inside the house are much more refined, with all the necessary furniture and exotic flowers and plants everywhere.
Before the meeting, Yan Muxi had imagined that Princess Rong would be a middle-aged woman who looked haggard after recovering from a serious illness, but he did not expect to see an extremely gentle and beautiful woman.
She looked to be in her thirties or forties, with an oval face and willow-shaped eyebrows. When she smiled, her peach blossom eyes narrowed into a beautiful crescent shape, and there was a small dimple on the corner of her lips.
"Everyone says that I'm in good health, but Tai'er refuses to believe it and insists on troublesomely asking the two girls to make the journey. It's freezing outside, you must be frozen!" Princess Rong personally helped the two girls up, one in each hand.
The two men didn't dare to ask Princess Rong for help, so they stood up half relying on her arm.
One step away, Princess Rong first sized up Yan Muyun, "Yes, she is a rare and beautiful girl."
Looking at Yan Muxi again, "Oh, how come this little face is made up like she's in an opera? It's scary at first glance."
"Pfft..." Yan Mujun couldn't help but let out a sound. She realized that she had lost her composure and quickly knelt down to admit her mistake. "I didn't mean to offend the princess."
Yan Muxi: “…” It’s me you offended, okay?
Princess Rong helped Yan Muyun up again, "I am not a person who pays attention to red tape. Miss, you are too reserved, which makes me feel uncomfortable. I understand!"
Seeing Yan Mujun nod, Princess Rong turned her gaze to Yan Muxi and said, "Don't be so mean to yourself at such a young age. It doesn't look good."
Seeing that the princess really wasn't someone who followed the rules, Yan Muxi didn't try to restrain herself, and said proudly: "But I think it's beautiful, and money can't buy my love!"
Princess Rong smiled and said, "If I say more, it means I'm meddling too much. If you like, go ahead." She added, "It really doesn't look good."
Yan Muxi smacked her lips. Why did she need to be so pretty? This was just right.
After the pleasantries, Yan Muyun took the princess's pulse.
"The princess is in good health. She is panicking because her body has not yet fully recovered after a serious illness. She will recover after a period of recuperation. Also, the princess should remember to eat a lighter diet and do some exercise every day to help her body recover faster."
Princess Rong listened carefully, "I told you that I'm fine, but that brat didn't believe me. It's really hard for you two girls to make this trip!"
Yan Muxi and Yan Mujun said in unison: "It's not hard."
The two looked at each other and were about to say goodbye and leave, but Princess Rong spoke first.
"It's getting late, so you two should stay for a while and have dinner before leaving. Let me make it clear first, you are not allowed to refuse. Although I have a good temper, I hate being rejected the most."
Since the noble man, who they couldn't afford to offend, had said so, the two of them had no choice but to agree.
It was still early for dinner, so Princess Rong changed into her home clothes and took the two of them to the vegetable garden next to the house.
Because there is floor heating around the house, the green vegetables are growing well, and the green color is very pleasing to the eye.
Princess Rong bent down and plucked a handful of celery, and then plucked a radish and a handful of young cabbage from the side.
"You little girls, please don't laugh at me for being vulgar. I'll ask the kitchen to cook a few of our specialties later. I guarantee that they will make your tongues fall off."
The winter in Luodu City is cold for a long time. Even the richest people cannot afford to eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Looking at the fresh vegetables in front of him, Yan Muxi was really greedy.
She swallowed her saliva and said, "I want to lose my tongue sooner." Seeing that Princess Rong didn't understand, she added, "When does the princess usually eat? Can it be earlier?"
Princess Rong smiled with her eyes curved. "Your personality is really to my liking. Just say whatever you think. I hate those girls who hide their true intentions and make people guess."
"That's right, Princess, please don't find me annoying!" Yan Muxi smiled unconsciously.
Even though it was their first meeting, she felt that Princess Rong was inexplicably familiar, a very special sense of familiarity.
Especially those peach blossom eyes that were curved inwards and outwards. Every time we looked into each other's eyes, my heart felt like it was being torn apart, with an inexplicable feeling of sadness filling my heart.
Even though she has been a princess for twenty years, Princess Rong still retains the habits she had when she was in the countryside when eating privately.
The staple food is paired with a few dishes. When there are many people, a few more dishes are added. There is never any extravagance or waste. The meals for the servants in the courtyard are cooked individually so they don't have to eat the leftovers of the masters.
Today's lunch was served on the table half an hour earlier than usual. There was a table full of dishes including lotus leaf chicken, stir-fried meat with celery, roasted carp, green vegetables and black fungus, and radish and white jade soup, which made people salivate.
Yan Muxi and Yan Muyun tried to hold back at first, but they could not resist Princess Rong's enthusiasm in picking up dishes for them, and they felt a little full by the end of the meal.
Yan Muyun drank the soup in the bowl in small sips. The maid serving beside her handed her another sweet soup. She raised her hand to refuse, but happened to bump into the maid's elbow.
There was a crisp "pop" sound, and the soup bowl was scattered all over the floor, leaving a large stain on Yan Mujun's skirt.
The maid anxiously apologized, "I deserve to die. Did the young lady get burned?"
The soup was just the right temperature and wouldn't burn anyone. Yan Muyun hurriedly said, "I'm fine, don't worry. I bumped into you accidentally just now, it's not your fault." She was afraid that the maid would be severely punished for this, so she deliberately explained more.
But Yan Muyun's worries were obviously unnecessary. Princess Rong never punished her servants easily unless they committed unforgivable mistakes.
"It's good that no one is hurt! Ya'er is the youngest in my courtyard. I've spoiled her and made her a little clumsy. I hope Miss Third Yan won't hold a grudge against her."
Princess Rong turned to look at the blushing maidservant beside her, "Thank goodness Third Miss Yan has a good temper. Don't be so impetuous next time. Hurry up and take Third Miss Yan to change into clean clothes, and make sure she serves me well!"
