Divine Doctor's Daughter: The Imperial Concubine

Chapter 4 thoughts of all parties

Chu Ruoying stood in front of Shengchu Courtyard, waved away the maids who came to lead the way, and then slowly stepped into the courtyard, "The singing in Shengchu Courtyard has stopped, life is not the same as when we first met."

Sheng Junior Court occupies the largest place in the backyard of the General's Mansion. It is located in a quiet place in the backyard, not in the center.

Chu Ruoying walked slowly in the courtyard. The gray brick road led directly to the hall, and walked along the winding path. The swing in the courtyard stayed quietly under the thick tree trunks.

There is a clear lake in the courtyard, only scattered lotus leaves floating on the lake.Walking by the lake, before getting close to the tree or seeing the flower, there is a floating fragrance, which is a large piece of red plums that are as delicate as fire, and the sky is full of red, just like a person's life. It's as if he wants to burn the last drop of blood on his body.

Chu Ruoying stared blankly at Hongmei in front of her, presumably he had put in a lot of effort.Lightly moving with lotus steps, she stood in front of a red plum, lowered her head and sniffed lightly, a slight smile appeared on her lips, like the wind.

Withdrew from the red plum grove, walked towards the house, walked into the attic, and looked around. The tables and chairs carved with high-quality sandalwood were carved with different patterns, and the delicate details belonging to the daughter's house flowed everywhere. Gentle feeling.

Rice paper is placed on the rosewood table near the window, a few brushes are placed on the inkstone, and lavender tulle is hung on the window, fluttering with the wind blowing slowly outside the window. A delicate pearl plum.

Turning his head, he saw the dressing table that all the daughters of the boudoir had. On it was a bronze mirror with rhombic flowers and a jewelry box carved with red lacquer and plum blossoms. The bead curtains were made of wreaths, and the sandalwood windows were hung with lavender gauze curtains. The whole house has a simple yet elegant feeling.

Chu Ruoying walked slowly to the side of the bed. The soft bed was covered with fine silk as a quilt. She sat down gently, stretched out her hand to caress the lavender gauze curtain, lowered her eyes lightly, and really put her heart into it. But if this is the case for me, why do you treat my mother like that...

"Miss, the hot water is ready, miss, let's take a bath first." Li Xia walked in slowly, saw her sitting beside the bed and meditating, said in a low voice.

After Lixia receded, Chu Ruoying walked behind the screen. There was hot air above the wooden barrel for bathing, and delicate petals floated on the water. With a smile, he raised his hand and took off the white dress on his body, and lay down in the wooden barrel.

After several days of running around, she couldn't help but feel a little tired in her heart. The warm hot water slowly surrounded her, and the comfortable temperature made her gradually relax her vigilance, leaning against the edge of the wooden barrel , his eyes became blurred and drifted away in the water vapor.

After taking a bath, I got up and looked at the dress beside me, and raised my hand to pick it up. It was still white as before, with large purple irises embroidered on the skirt with precious tapestry silk. The dress seemed as light as nothing in my hand. , but it doesn't look thin at all.

Chu Ruoying smiled invisibly, put on her clothes and sat in front of the window, with a handkerchief in her hand, she wiped her long hair little by little. The faint fragrance of incense permeated the attic quietly. Before I knew it, it was dusk.

Li Xia gently knocked on the door outside, "Miss, the dinner is here." Chu Ruoying put down the handkerchief in her hand, "Come in." Li Xia gently opened the door and waved at the people behind her. After waving, the people behind him stepped forward one by one to set up the food.

The servant girl quietly raised her head to look at the woman who was sitting by the window as if she was indifferent to the world. She had a beautiful face, a calm demeanor, and a white dress that dragged the floor. Only then did the maids come to their senses, saluted in a panic and retreated.

Chu Ruoying smiled faintly, got up, walked to the table and sat down, and said, "Gu Yu hasn't come back yet?" Then she picked up the chopsticks at the side and started eating, Li Xia replied from the side: "I've come back, except for Madam In addition, there are three aunts, namely Qin Meng, the concubine daughter of the official department, Yun Yao, the wife's dowry maid, and Pei Xue, a downtrodden scholarly woman."

Chu Ruoying nodded and didn't say much, Li Xia looked up at her, thought for a while and then said: "There is a woman in the mansion with a very special identity."

Chu Ruoying had put down her chopsticks at this time, and looked at her calmly, "Special?" Li Xia nodded, bit her lips and said, "This woman came into the mansion two years ago, and lived in a remote place in the mansion. In the courtyard, most people in the mansion only know this woman, but have never seen her before."

When Chu Ruoying heard the words, there was a dark look in her eyes, but she didn't show any other expressions on her face, but the low atmosphere at that moment alone made Li Xia feel a little nervous.

A sneer curled up on the corner of Chu Ruoying's mouth, "Two years ago...he was really in a good mood..." Her voice was clear and cold.

Gu Yu is a cheerful person with a straightforward personality. In her early years, she struggled in the crowd, but she is more able to interact with people.That's why he entrusted Gu Yu with the matter of inquiring about the mansion, and it really didn't disappoint.

"Go down." Chu Ruoying said lightly.

Li Xia silently cleaned up the food on the table, and then quietly backed away.

Chu Ruoying stretched out her hand and poured a cup of clear tea. The faint tea fragrance wafted out, and she took a sip. It was the best Yuqian Longjing tea. "Two years ago..."

After leaving the Sheng Junior Court, several maids gathered around to discuss.

"Just now we saw the eldest lady who just came back!" The one or two maids said proudly
"How is it? Is it really more beautiful than the second lady?" Others who had never seen her asked curiously.

"Not only is she more beautiful than Second Young Miss, she's almost like a fairy!" a maid said without hesitation.

"And the indifferent temperament of the eldest lady is even more fascinating." Another maid said not to be outdone.

"What's the use of being beautiful, and there is no Ye family behind the second lady." A maid next to her said disdainfully.

"You are jealous."

"Second Miss is usually so strict with the maids around her, why should I envy you?"

The maids chattered there, and Chu Xiner led the maid Yueer to walk on the path beside her. Hearing this, her footsteps stopped and she stepped forward a few steps.

"Slap!" There was a crisp slap, and the maidservants immediately silenced, kneeling on the ground trembling.

Chu Xin'er gave them a stern look, and said, "They're all dragged down and beaten to death with sticks!"

"Your maidservant knows it's wrong, Second Miss, please spare me!" several servant girls begged in panic.

"What's the matter?" Before Yue'er and the others could make a move, a familiar female voice came from behind. Chu Xiner turned around and walked quickly to Madam Ye's side, holding her arm, but her eyes were ruthless. Looking fiercely at the maid on the ground, she said, "Mother, these maids are getting more and more clueless."

Madam Ye could easily imagine what these maids would say. She glanced at them coldly, and said, "Chew your tongue, give each one twenty slaps." gone.

"Xin'er, your father punished you to go to the ancestral hall, why are you here!" Mrs. Ye looked at Chu Xiner, who was slightly relieved because she had just dealt with the maid, and asked with a frown.

"I don't want to go to the ancestral hall!" Chu Xiner said nonchalantly.

"Xin'er! Go back to the ancestral hall immediately!" Madam Ye said sharply.

Chu Xiner looked at Madam Ye in disbelief, "Mother!"

"Go back!" Madam Ye gave her a disappointed look and said in a deep voice.

Chu Xiner stomped her feet angrily, and walked towards the ancestral hall.Seeing her leaving back, Mrs. Ye said to the maid Yue'er: "Take care of Second Miss, I'll ask you if something goes wrong!"

"Yes, the servant obeys the order." Yue'er said hastily.
