Divine Doctor's Daughter: The Imperial Concubine

Chapter 58 Princess Invitation
The next morning, Chu Ruoying woke up early, opened her eyes and saw the silver bills placed on the table not far away, and glanced at them casually, but she did not expect that her second sister was quite rich.

The maids in the courtyard gathered together in twos and threes and talked in a low voice. When they saw Chu Ruoying walking out, they all stopped and dispersed.

"Miss, there was a fire in Second Miss's courtyard last night, and all the money in the house was lost." Gu Yu walked in from outside the courtyard, and after seeing Chu Ruoying, she quickly stepped forward and saluted, and said.

Chu Ruoying nodded faintly, walked to the side and sat down, "And then?"

Gu Yu laughed softly, lowered his voice and said: "The fire was not that big, it went out within a short time after we found it, but after the second lady found out that she had lost her money, she cried and made a fuss for a long time."

"Okay, let's go prepare breakfast, your lady is hungry." Chu Ruoying couldn't help but smiled, and reached out to pat Gu Yu's head.

"Miss, the Eldest Princess hosted a banquet and sent an invitation to Miss." Just as Gu Yu went down to prepare breakfast, Li Xia walked in quickly from outside the courtyard, holding a red and gold invitation card.

Chu Ruoying took the invitation, opened it, and looked at it. The content was no different from the usual invitation. She nodded lightly and said, "Go and prepare something, and leave after breakfast."

Looking at the invitation in her hand, Chu Ruoying couldn't help but think of the last time she went to the eldest princess, the eldest princess who looked stern but kind-hearted, and Zhang Nai who treated her wonderfully.

When everything was ready, Chu Ruoying led Gu Yu and Li Xia towards the door, and when they passed Dangui Garden, a mocking smile could not help but curl up on her lips.

"elder sister."

Before she walked out of the mansion, she saw that Chu Xiner's steps were a little unsteady. She was supported by the maid and walked over. Chu Ruoying stopped and quietly looked at the person in front of her. Perhaps it was because of the shock last night, Chu Xiner Her normally delicate and beautiful face became paler, and there was even more resentment in the eyes looking at Chu Ruoying.

"What's wrong with the second sister?" Chu Ruoying asked softly, with her usual expression, "Why don't you rest in the room when you are not well."

Chu Xiner suppressed the jealousy in her heart, and said softly: "Xiner is fine, thank you sister for caring."

Chu Ruoying didn't want to talk to her too much, so she nodded with a clear face, "Since I'm fine, I'll go first, and the second sister should go back earlier."

"Sister!" Seeing that Chu Ruoying was about to turn around and leave without hesitation, Chu Xiner lost her composure and said, "Sister, are you going to attend the princess's banquet?"

Chu Ruoying nodded lightly, and seeing Chu Xiner's expression, Chu Ruoying immediately understood, "Did the second sister not receive the invitation from the eldest princess?"

Chu Xin'er's face froze, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes very quickly. If it hadn't been for the fact that Chu Ruoying fell into the water in the eldest princess's mansion last time, and she pushed her to frame her again, she would be the dignified daughter of the Chu mansion. How come there are no invitations.

"Sister, can you take Xin'er there?" Chu Xiner secretly hated in her heart, but her face was full of grievances, she asked softly.

Chu Ruoying slightly raised her eyebrows, looking at Chu Xin'er who was pretending to be weak in front of her, she obviously went to her courtyard to make a big fuss not long ago, and now she pretends to be pitiful in front of her as if nothing happened, really
"Since my sister is not feeling well, please rest at home. Otherwise, if my sister's sickness disturbs the eldest princess, it will make the eldest princess angry. At that time, my wife will not be able to do it." Chu Ruoying slightly raised her head and looked at Shi Chen, Feeling that the time was almost up, he stopped looking at her, and continued walking towards the door after speaking lightly.

Hearing this, Chu Xiner bit her lips and suppressed what she wanted to say. The eldest princess is the elder sister of the current emperor. The second time is that I can no longer annoy the eldest princess.

"Miss Chu, the eldest princess, please go." After Chu Ruoying arrived at the eldest princess's mansion, she was taken into the backyard just like the first time. There were few people, most of the girls in the boudoir gathered around the pavilion, but the male guests stood around, talking with each other.

Just now I saw Xia Zhiqi, she was staring blankly at a place in a daze, and was about to step forward, but Nanny Zhang walked over.

Chu Ruoying nodded, and followed Xia Zhiqi's gaze very quickly. Yin Yizhu, who was still dressed in azure blue, was standing in the crowd, talking loudly with people, laughing heartily from time to time, but his eyes were Always looking in Xia Zhiqi's direction, Chu Ruoying narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Miss Chu?" Seeing that she was absent-minded and nearly bumped into a stone beside her, Zhang Nanny called out in a worried voice.

"Huh?" Chu Ruoying just came back to her senses, seeing the worry hidden in Mammy Zhang's expression, she smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said softly, "I'm a little distracted thinking about things, don't take offense, Mammy."

"I don't dare." Nanny Zhang is a well-behaved and kind-hearted old man. Hearing what Chu Ruoying said, she said kindly, "There are countless things in this world, big and small. Who can You can see through everything, Miss Chu, don't worry too much, you can only understand everything after going through it."

Chu Ruoying was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect Nanny Zhang to say such a thing to her, her heart warmed slightly, and she said softly, "Thank you Mammy, I understand."

After a while, she arrived at the eldest princess's room. Nanny Zhang stood in front of the door and gently knocked on the door, "Princess, Miss Chu is here."

"Come in." A calm and prestige voice came from the room, and then Nanny Zhang opened the door and walked in with Chu Ruoying.

"My daughter has met the Eldest Princess." Chu Ruoying slightly bowed her knees and bowed to the Eldest Princess, then stood up and stood on the spot with her head slightly lowered.

The eldest princess wears a glazed jade headdress and a bright red dress with a phoenix embroidered with gold on the skirt. As she walks around, a faint golden color appears in the light. When she sees Chu Ruoying in the blue dress in front of her, she just feels Very attached to her.

"Your complexion has improved a lot." The eldest princess walked in front of her, looked at her carefully for a while, and seeing that her complexion was not bad, she was a little relieved and said.

Chu Ruoying was taken aback for a moment, raised her head slightly, and said softly, "Thank you for your concern, princess, my daughter's health is much better."

The eldest princess nodded, walked to the side and sat down, looked at Chu Ruoying's calm face with a faint smile, and asked softly, "Is it almost time for you?"

"Back to the eldest princess, the courtiers will reach the age of Ji in two months." Chu Ruoying nodded and replied softly.

two months?The eldest princess was taken aback, and said suddenly: "Bingwu year, Xinmao, Wuyin?"

"How does the eldest princess know?" Chu Ruoying couldn't help asking when she heard the words, her tone was full of doubts.

Nanny Zhang also stood aside, seeing pain and surprise in the eyes of the Eldest Princess, she stepped forward and said, "Princess, it's almost time, the banquet should begin."

Only then did the eldest princess come back to her senses, she lost the look in her eyes, her face was a little tired, "Nurse Zhang, take Miss Chu back first, I'll be there later."

Nanny Zhang nodded, pulled Chu Ruoying out of the room, closed the door gently, sighed softly, and her eyes were a little gloomy.

"Mommy, what happened?" Chu Ruoying couldn't help asking in a low voice, seeing that Nanny Zhang was feeling a little sad along the way.

"It's nothing." Nanny Zhang sighed inaudibly, didn't say much, and after taking Chu Ruoying back, she hurried back.

Seeing Nanny Zhang's hasty footsteps, Chu Ruoying couldn't help but lower her head and ponder. As far as she knew, the Eldest Princess had a child before, who died of smallpox when she was five years old. Since then, the Eldest Princess His temper became worse and worse. He just heard about the birthday of the eldest princess. Could it be that he was born on the same day as the eldest princess's child who died?

"What is Ah Ruo thinking about?" A gentle male voice rang softly in her ears, Chu Ruoying suddenly came back to her senses, quickly suppressed the look on her face, turned around and smiled faintly, "I'm just looking at this A plum blossom forest."

Jun Yu raised his head and looked at Mei Lin when he heard the words, the blood-like red plums were in full bloom, and the Mei Lin in the Princess's Mansion was worthy of being the best in Changxing.

"Does Ah Ruo like plum blossoms too?" Jun Yu looked away, looked at Chu Ruoying with a smile, and asked softly.

Chu Ruoying nodded, stretched out her hand and lightly touched the petals of the red plums in the forest, and said lightly, "Yes, I like it very much."

"No wonder Ah Ruona went to Meilin tonight." Jun Yu said slowly with a hint of warmth in his gentle eyes.

Chu Ruoying also thought of the first meeting between the two of them that night. She felt extremely comfortable when she saw her for the first time, and her originally calm face also felt a little warm. It's a relationship with the Fifth Prince."

The two were talking next to Mei Lin, and the atmosphere around them was very harmonious, but a sudden voice came out, "Hey, isn't this the Fifth Prince and Miss Chu!"

Chu Ruoying's eyes darkened when she heard the words, and the coldness in her eyes flashed away. She turned around and looked at Qi Xuan who was standing behind her, her eyes were full of jealousy and sarcasm. The red plums are here? It's really nice."

"This princess is of course here for Hongmei, but I don't know why some people come here!" Qi Xuan's sharp voice attracted the attention of many people. After hearing Qi Xuan's words, Chu Ruoying smiled slightly, "Of course I also came here for the red plums. The red plums in the Princess’s Mansion are the best in Changxing. It snowed not long ago. The white snow reflected the red plums. How can you miss it."

Chu Ruoying first lavishly praised the Hongmei of the Princess Chang's Mansion, so that Qi Xuan could not deny that she came for Hongmei, and then said that she was a person who loves plums, and explained her appearance here. Indifferent, if you appear here, no one will have any doubts. If you explain it for him, it will only be self-defeating.

Qi Xuan didn't think of this, she looked straight at the fifth prince, and asked in a strong tone: "Why is the fifth prince here?"
