Chapter 322
Seeing the Fourth Young Master looking for the prince as soon as he opened his eyes, even the usually cold and hard Eunuch Shi couldn't help but be moved by the deep affection between father and son.
He softened his tone and said softly, "My two lords, the prince has gone out for something. Before he left, he told me to take good care of you."
Gu Yanzhi was very sensible: "Thank you, Eunuch Shi, thank you for your trouble."
Soon, the maids of both of them came over and gave them their respective clothes.
Watching the maid carefully putting clothes on the two little brothers, Eunuch Shi's face was full of loving smiles.
Ruirui put on her clothes and picked out a small silver bracelet from the accessories that Hongfeng brought and put it on.
Eunuch Shi thought it was a bit too plain, so he picked out a small green jade gourd from the prince's pile of jade pendants and tied it to his belt, which just matched his clothes today.
She also selected a white jade locket and put it on the eldest son herself.
Ruirui looked down and seemed to like it very much.
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
Eunuch Shi smiled and said, "Sir, you really embarrass me, old slave."
In fact, the latest jade pendants have to be delivered every season. The prince has many of them but has never worn them. Eunuch Shi gave away a few of them, but the prince didn't care at all.
"Let's go, let's go find the prince!"
Having said that, Ruirui jumped and ran out.
Eunuch Shi hastened to stop them: "Hey, Fourth Young Master, the prince has ordered you two to rest here for a while." Although the servants had checked once, they were still afraid that some snakes might have slipped through the net.
"Is that so? Then let's go find the princess?"
"Okay," Eunuch Shi thought, since the princess didn't encounter any poisonous snakes, maybe it would be safer.
"Okay, let's go!"
After saying that, Ruirui happily went to look for the princess.
Gu Yanzhi looked at his short back and really didn’t understand why he dared to go to the princess. Wasn’t he worried that the princess would harm him?
Thinking of this, Gu Yanzhi backed off: "Eunuch Shi, I still have homework to do, I'll go back and do my homework first"
Eunuch Shi couldn't stop two people by himself. Fortunately, Ruirui heard this and said sensibly:
"Brother, do you still have to do homework here? This is too tiring. Let's take you back together."
After sending his eldest brother back to his residence, Ruirui ran to find the princess, but before he saw the princess, he happened to meet Concubine Wen first.
At this time, Concubine Wen frowned, and when she saw him, she immediately asked, "Why are you here, kid?"
Ruirui didn't understand what was going on. Ruyi, who was behind her, wanted to step forward to explain, but was stopped by Hongfeng.
She looked at Hong Feng in confusion, but he gestured for her to look at Eunuch Shi.
By the way, Eunuch Shi hasn’t spoken yet, why is she so anxious?
At this time, the Fourth Young Master's own voice was heard. He asked in a childish voice:
"Sister Concubine, I was just about to go look for the princess and you, but I ran into you here. Where are you going?"
Concubine Wen paused for a moment, and began to get impatient again. She said casually, "I'll go see my cousin, the prince."
When Ruirui heard this, she immediately said, "Then I'll go with you."
Concubine Wen raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "You little thing, why are you following me to make trouble?"
Ruirui couldn't say that his mother told him secretly that he should seek safety from powerful people who were protected by many people whenever he had any problems.
And the prince is already the most powerful person he knows.
You know, he can not only fly in the sky, but also kill snakes!
He had only heard about the skill of beating snakes today.
Ruirui rolled her eyes and came up with a reasonable excuse.
"Last night the prince was afraid to sleep alone, and I was also afraid to sleep alone, so my elder brother and I went to live with him.
Now that I’m awake and haven’t seen anyone yet, I want to personally thank him for protecting me.”
Who would have thought that after hearing this, Concubine Wen's eyes lit up, she actually squatted down to look at him, and asked excitedly: "Did your cousin really sleep with you last night?"
Ruirui didn't understand what was going on, and looked at her blankly: "Yes, that's right!"
Concubine Wen was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She took his little hand and said, "Great, let's go and find our cousin together!"
Soon, Concubine Wen arrived at the scene with Ruirui.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard a "bang" and then the sound of porcelain falling to the ground and breaking.
Ruirui was so scared that she shuddered all over.
The sound of the little feet stepping on the ground became subconsciously a lot lighter.
A powerful voice shouted: "How dare you!"
"I really misjudged you. You actually acted so recklessly."
Another soft and charming voice advised: "Your Majesty, calm down. It's just a palace maid.
I just feel sorry for that palace maid. She can leave the palace and go home next month, but she still has a childhood sweetheart, her fiancé, waiting for her outside the palace."
Another older woman's voice came out: "Your Majesty, I believe Zhao'er is not that kind of person. He has never valued women."
“Why not let him tell the story himself?”
"Sister, you are right. It should be the maid's fault. She shouldn't have happened to be bumped into by the prince.
It was her fault that she happened to have a fiancé, but she should have had a happy second half of her life!"
"Father, this is what's wrong with my third brother. I came here for the common people. How can I keep thinking about these dirty things?"
"Third brother is really not very particular about what he does. Even if he likes her, he can't be so impatient.
The raccoon slaves in my house always have to choose a good day and hold a ceremony to pair up! "
Hearing this, Concubine Wen became even more eager to go in.
But she hadn't been notified and it was impossible for her to go in directly. If she forced her way in, she would be severely punished. What should she do?
Suddenly, Concubine Wen lowered her head and looked at Ruirui beside her.
There is really no other way!
She gritted her teeth and whispered quickly in the child's ear: "Rui Rui, if you can get through this smoothly and save your cousin, I will really treat you as my own son in the future!"
After saying that, without waiting for others to react, he pushed the person in with force.
"Ouch!"
A baby's voice suddenly came from outside.
In the silent room, one could hear a pin drop. Now everyone looked over.
I saw a round little ball of milk turning around a few times and then it came over.
The little kid bumped into the legs of King Zhao, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, and finally stopped.
He raised his eyes and looked at the crowd, his eyes confused: "Where is this place?" Why are there so many people?
There was an old man in good spirits sitting there, along with a few young and pretty ladies, and many long legs standing next to him.
Ruirui simply didn't raise her head to see who they were, because this action would definitely be very tiring.
There was a young lady on the other side, kneeling on the ground and crying with her face covered.
Faced with such a small child, everyone was stunned.
The emperor looked at the little thing with a sullen face: "Whose is this? Why was it thrown here?"
King Zhao didn't care at first, but when he lowered his eyes and saw that it was a familiar kid, he was stunned.
How come this guy suddenly appeared here?
Just when he was about to explain, the little cub, who had reacted, had already started explaining to him.
"My name is Ruirui. I'm here to look for a prince. Because I was scared yesterday, he slept with me. I want to thank him. Where is he?"
