Empress Dowager: Husband, please lie down

Chapter 74

No matter how conflicted Ruan Eryue was in her heart, after a quarter of an hour, Ruan Eryue, who had already been tossed by Xia Houqing into a luxurious outfit, appeared at the gate of the palace with her.

The two of them held the leave order that Xia Houqing forcibly searched from other court ladies just now, pretended to be the little maids of the imperial dining room who went out to buy from the palace, and swaggered out of the palace with a basket on their arms.

Que'er, who had been preventing the two from leaving the palace, and Cuiyu, who was beside Xia Houqing, were tied up in the firewood room behind the imperial dining room with a brocade handkerchief in their mouths, their eyes full of worry and grievance, but they couldn't move at all.

The air outside the palace seemed to be much fresher. Xia Houqing, who hadn't been out of the palace for a long time, closed her eyes and breathed greedily.

"Where do you want to play?"

Ruan Eryue shook the empty vegetable basket in her hand, and said with a teasing smile, "Could it be that you really want to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables?"

Xia Houqing threw the vegetable basket in her hand on the ground, clapped her hands and frowned in disgust, "Who is going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables? It must be dirty there. This princess doesn't want to go back to the palace with a fishy smell. The queen mother knows It's over."

Ruan Eryue shook her head helplessly, leaned down and picked up the vegetable basket on the ground and stuffed it into her hands, and said angrily, "When you go out of the palace to buy vegetables, is it possible that you go back empty-handed? No one will be suspicious. When the time comes, if the Queen Mother finds out that you have left the palace privately, I'm afraid you will die even worse. Besides, I might be the one who died!"

The Empress Dowager and Xiahou Zhu defended Prince Jing's mansion like that, so she must have hated Prince Jing's mansion to the bone.

Now she is Xiahou Yin's fiancée, and she has also heard about the things in the capital during this period.

Concubine Jing appointed her with great fanfare and celebrated the ceremony. Xiahou Yin, who rarely left the mansion, even came to the General's Mansion on the day of the ceremony.This incident caused quite a stir in the capital!
Hearing that the queen mother was angry in the palace, she thought that Prince Jing's mansion had robbed the limelight of King Zhou and Su Lingyue's marriage this time.

That being the case, the queen mother must also hate her, Ruan Eryue, and was eager to find a reason to deal with her.Not only did it make her suffer, but it also gave Prince Jing's mansion a blow.

How could Ruan Eryue grab the handle and send it to the door for the queen mother to punish?

Hearing what Ruan Eryue said, Xia Houqing pouted and pinched the vegetable basket in her hand, "Why don't we just stroll around casually. Anyway, it's almost noon now, and we have to come back before the palace gate is released. The princess seldom goes out of the palace, so let's go to see the jewelry, taste some pastries and so on!"

Then, he patted his waist proudly, "What do you want to eat and buy today, just buy it, this princess treats you!"

Ruan Eryue looked at her waist with a half-smile, and didn't speak, but her smile was a bit thought-provoking.

The tactile feeling of the hand falling down is wrong... It should be a bulging purse, but now when I pat it down, there is no sound at all, and there is no feeling of sticking to the hand.

Xia Houqing's heart skipped a beat, and following Ruan Eryue's line of sight, she put on a bitter face and said with a sigh, "Oops, I came out in a hurry, and I forgot my purse!"

Thinking of the Haikou she boasted just now, Xia Houqing smiled awkwardly at Ruan Eryue, "Hey, how about, let's ask Brother Yin to come out."

Do you want Xia Houyin to come out and use it as a cash machine?
Ruan Eryue raised her eyebrows, took out a finely stitched and beautifully embroidered purse from her waist, and waved it in front of Xia Houqing's eyes, "Forget it, if you ask him to come out, it will make everyone in the world know Your eleventh princess came out of the palace today disguised as a maid? Let's go, I invite you today."

It's not because she thinks that the money in Prince Jing's mansion will be her money in Ruan Eryue in the future, so she feels distressed.

Although, there are so many such thoughts.Because, for a noble princess like Xia Houqing, if she likes something, it must be of great value.

The most important thing is that she currently has a little grudge against Xiahou Yin.Even if he was worried that she would be wronged in the palace, so he specially invited Xia Houqing to protect her today, she would never forget his indifference to her that day!
Moreover, he has limited mobility, and in such a busy street, he must not be used to other people's strange eyes.

Therefore, I can only sacrifice my own purse.

"However, you have to remember one thing. Don't open your mouth and keep your mouth shut. It's my princess. With our appearance, you are not afraid of being heard by others, and you will be dragged to the Yamen to report to the official?"

Ruan Eryue leaned closer to Xia Houqing's ear again, and threatened, "Besides, you are the eleventh princess who is the most beloved by the queen mother today, and the emperor's own sister! Are you so sure that the emperor has no enemies? If you know that you are the eleventh princess If the princess..."

After all, Ruan Eryue sneered a few times, and winked at Xia Houqing.Seeing her nodded cautiously, the two walked towards the lively street.

As the saying goes, "the road to enemies is narrow".

Ruan Eryue and Xia Houqing happily ran down the street with a basket of vegetables, ready to eat and buy a lot.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the corner of the street not far away, Ruan Eryue, who was walking in front, turned around to talk to Xia Houqing, and bumped into the bearer carrying the sedan chair who was passing by without eyes.

The bearer was hit by Ruan Eryue in this way, his body tilted instinctively, and accidentally bumped into the bearer on the left, both of them fell to the ground.

"Ouch……"

As the bearer fell to the ground, the two bearers behind couldn't control their balance, and the gorgeous sedan chair was also thrown to the ground.The people inside were thrown out alive, lying at the feet of Ruan Eryue and Xia Houqing, moaning and moaning non-stop.

"Ah! Miss!"

The maid beside the sedan chair trotted over quickly, ready to help the woman who was lying on the ground, and cried worriedly, "Miss, are you alright?"

"Idiot! Miss Ben's leg is about to break, she's fine! How can she lift the sedan chair! Do you have eyes!"

The woman was lying on the ground, supporting her arms in pain, trying to prop up her upper body.While waiting for the servant girl to come to help her, she cursed angrily.

Only then did the bearer hurriedly stand up and tidy up the sedan chair that had hit the ground in a hurry, while lowering his head and aggrievedly defending, "Miss, it's not that the servants don't have eyes. Yes, it's because some people don't have eyes..."

The woman on the ground just raised her head, handed her hand to the servant girl, and looked at the person in front of her with resentment.

Following a pair of pure white embroidered shoes and looking at her face, the woman immediately showed a cannibalistic expression, "Hehe, Fourth Miss Ruan, what a coincidence!"

Ruan Eryue curled her lips with a half-smile, and she said that she was familiar with the woman's cursing voice.

"Miss Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come here to be safe..."

Ruan Eryue stretched out her hand with a smile on her face, and was about to "help" her up, "Why, Miss Qin, as soon as I saw Er Yue today, I just knelt down and bowed down? This is too much enthusiasm..."

It turned out that the woman lying on the ground was Qin Shasha!
