It is almost the middle of July, and families are busy with the Chinese New Year. The prince's residence has one more thing to do, that is, to prepare for Princess Napai in August.

Although the crown prince's side imperial concubine is a concubine, it is also the grade of the second grade, so the wedding is also grand. Only four people can't lift the sedan chair with eight people. They don't wear Zhenghong. The wedding banquet is even worse than the crown princess.

In the study, the prince was sitting on the teacher's chair near the window with an unhappy face, playing with a red, slightly old wooden card.

"This palace is the prince. Why did she go to beg sister Sanhuang?" The prince snorted.

Li Gui smiled helplessly: "maybe your highness is more affable."

The prince thought of the princess's serious appearance, frowned and didn't speak.

At that time, Xu Rui suddenly ran to ask for help. The prince heard Ye Chengde's name and suddenly thought of Ye Tangcai. It was actually her family's business! And this XURUI is her enemy.

Xu Rui offered advice on how to renovate the autumn family. The prince thought that if something like this happened to Qiu's family, she would ask someone for help, and then she would ask him at the door.

These days he has been waiting for ye Tangcai to come to the door. Unexpectedly, she begged to the door of Princess Xinyang.

The prince is really depressed.

"But that XURUI is a very cunning man." Li Gui said with a smile, "at least it's a good plan to deal with the autumn family. If Princess Xinyang didn't happen to know that the wine and vinegar doctor took money from other wine merchants, whether the case was withdrawn or not, it would be a heavy blow to the Qiu family! "

The prince's eyes showed some ponder: "he is a talent. It is said that he is going to participate in the autumn palace. If he wins, the palace can let him rely on him. "

"For the rural examination next month, the slave went down to prepare a ginseng and asked someone to send it to him." Li Gui said.

The prince nodded and suddenly thought of Ye Tangcai. His heart was itching again: "let's go and have dinner in Zhenghua hospital."

……

July is getting colder and colder. In this windy and dry weather, a big joke came out in the capital, moistening the boring life of the people.

Jing'an Hou Shizi touched his wife's dowry in order to please the outside room, and was finally sent to prison. Jing'an Hou was so old that he finally got to be a secretary of the fourth grade. He didn't want to be demoted because of the romantic affair of the rebellious son.

This is enough to make the people laugh for a while after tea.

The Jing'an Marquis mansion is even more important. If you can show your face less, you can show your face less.

Songhua lane is the same. The door is tightly closed. Chen Ma has opened the back door to buy vegetables these two days.

In Yongcun Curie, several servants are carefully doing housework. If they can't make a sound, they won't make a sound.

Yin Ting's mother and son were sitting at the round table in the small hall, with gloomy faces.

"Three days later, after the Zhongyuan Festival, go back to Changzhou to prepare for the rural examination!" Yan tingniang's face was livid, and a small melon seed face looked weak, but her eyes were like poison, full of cold light of cruelty and humiliation.

In her opinion, Wen and ye Tangcai are a nest of mobs who can destroy things at any time. Unexpectedly, they stepped on her face again and again, and sent her to prison this time.

Yan tingniang could not express her anger.

Changzhou is about five days away from the capital. Originally, Yin tingniang and ye Chengde planned to let Xu Rui go back to prepare for the rural examination at the end of July. I don't want this to happen. Now I can only go back in advance! Don't be affected by messages and gossip.

"Mom, don't worry, I will go to high school! It will stand out! " Xu Rui said bitterly and firmly. When he passes the exam, he will not only be a disciple, but also the legitimate grandson of the Marquis of Jing'an!

Today's humiliation, he must let ye Tangcai and Wen return a thousand times and a hundred times.

"Just... I heard she knew Princess Xinyang, so I was afraid of her..." Yan tingniang was worried.

"Don't worry!" Xu Rui snorted coldly, "don't think only she has a backer. The princess is just a princess. Now the prince is in power. "

The last time he saw the prince, he asked the prince for help and offered advice on how to renovate the Qiu family. At that time, the prince praised him more. When he won the promotion and won the Jinshi in the future, the prince will look at him differently.

Yan tingniang was relieved.

"I'll go to baomo square now and get all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone ready. When I get back to Changzhou, I'll prepare for the exam behind closed doors." Xu Rui said and stood up.

Naturally, there are pen and ink shops in Changzhou, but he only uses the pen and ink of baomo workshop. He is not used to using the pen and ink in other places.

Xu Rui went out and took Weizi to baomo square.

It's also a narrow road. I saw ye Tangcai when I started.

Ye Tangcai was in a good mood. Early this morning, he went to baomo square to choose pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

In front of him, there were all kinds of brushes hanging on a row of shelves. Ye Tangcai was dazzled. He chose a Lake pen after a long time.

"Girl." Huiran suddenly patted her.

Ye Tangcai was stunned. Looking back, he saw a beautiful scholar standing at the door of baomo square. It was actually Xu Rui.

Ye Tang picks ink eyebrows. It's really a narrow road for friends!

Xu Rui also saw her. His eyes flashed cruel, and then showed a gentle smile like usual: "it's a coincidence that he met his eldest sister again."

Ye Tang chuckled, "yes, what a coincidence. However, at this time, Mr. Xu still has the face to go out. "

Xu Rui's eyes flashed with evil, but the smile on his face remained the same.

He came over and stood opposite ye Tangcai across a row of hanging brushes: "I don't know if I have a face now, but in the future, I will definitely have a face than my eldest sister."

This is what I mean.

"With such a big breath, be careful to flash your tongue." Huiran was angry and said in a cold voice“ Also, don't call my girl big sister. What are you? Who is your sister? "

The sentence "what are you" severely trampled on his self-esteem.

He grew up poor and was despised and trampled on. Later, he became the son of an outsider and a mop. He was even more sensitive. Huiran's words made the smile on his face collapse.

Xu Rui sneered and stared at ye Tangcai with snake like eyes: "one day, I will let you take the initiative to call me a good brother."

"By you?" Ye Tangcai sneers.

Xu Rui was hurt by her sarcastic words, and his hatred deepened in his eyes: "it's up to me! Even if I win or not, I can get more! And you will always be just a concubine! Don't think it's great for you to be close to the princess. I can let the autumn family get in for the first time, and I can get in for the second time. I'll have a look. How many times can a man fish? You can't provoke the people behind me. "

Didn't she look down on him? He wants to pass the exam, even Chunwei! At that time, with the support of the crown prince, he can rise straight up.

And take everything from her brother! And she is just a concubine who has settled down, and she will never turn over.

"Oh, I'd like to know, is the man behind you?" Ye Tangcai looked at him sarcastically and asked clearly.

XURUI naturally wants to tell the world that he is appreciated by the crown prince, but the last time he saw the crown prince, the crown prince didn't allow him to tell. Moreover, it's better not to talk about these noble people, otherwise he can't become the confidant of the crown prince in the future. What should we do?

But in front of her, he wanted to show off so much that he only said, "why should I tell you? But I can tell you, this is my fate with him. Three years ago, a restaurant opened. The owner of the restaurant made a lucky draw for the fun. There are two people in the second prize. I won the second prize, and the other is the noble man. The noble man thought I could win the second prize with him, which was more lucky than winning the first prize. He wrote a word on the sign I got. He said he would help me fulfill a wish in the future. "

"Last time, I took that sign and begged him to help me. I thought that such an opportunity would disappear if it was used. No, because of this, the noble man appreciated me more. Thank you very much, sister! "

Then he turned and left proudly.

Watching his back disappear at the door, huiran was so angry that he clenched his teeth: "what a shameless man!" Then he looked at ye Tangcai anxiously: "girl, is he near any big man?"

Prince! Ye Tangcai's face was full of ridicule. A flash of calculation flashed in his eyes, and his lips turned red: "no matter who he is next to, we'll just mix him up."

Huiran was stunned. Now he doesn't know who it is! Mixed him up? How?

"Let's go!" Ye Tangcai chose an inkstone at will and went to the shopkeeper's desk to settle the bill.

After settling the account, ye Tangcai asked Qing'er to drive the carriage straight to Dingguo Bo's house.

Back home at the Chuihua gate, ye Tang got off and saw Yu Yang sitting in a pile of bamboo and playing with stones.

"Third grandma, you're back!" Yu Yang said“ I've found out what you asked last time. "

It's about XURUI and the prince! Ye Tang picked a corner of his lips and said, "is the third master at home?"

"The third master has gone out." Yu Yang said, "he sent me to wait here. I'll tell you the news when you come back."

"I already know." Ye Tangcai smiled.

"Ah, already know?" Yu Yang was surprised.

"Yes." Ye Tangcai nodded, "I'll go back first."

Several people returned to the West Cross courtyard together. Yu Yang entered the orchid bamboo house. Ye Tangcai and huiran returned to the dome Mingxuan.

Seeing her coming back, the black cat at home rushed out. When ye Tangcai saw it, he smiled. Well, it's already cooked!

Ye Tangcai came into the house with the black cat in his arms: "take out his toys."

Huiran took a smoke from the corner of his mouth, then went to the bedroom and took out a pure gold brand. This is the toy of the black cat. Ye Tangcai specially asked someone to make it.

"Little sister-in-law." At this time, Chu Miaoshu's voice sounded outside the door.

Ye Tangcai is sitting in the room teasing the cat. Looking back, Chu Miaoshu has stepped into the room.

"You see, I received another post from the prince's house." Chu Miaoshu was holding a gilded post of dragon and Phoenix in his hand. It was indeed from the crown prince's house.

Autumn orange looked at her eyes and said happily, "girl, the princess calls you again."

Ye Tangcai also smiled in his eyes and looked at Chu Miaoshu: "when will you go?"

"Tomorrow morning, at the third quarter of the morning, at the flower pendant gate of the east corner gate." Chu Miaoshu said as he looked into ye Tangcai's arms.

I saw ye Tangcai sitting on the arhat bed. A black cat was nesting on her lap. Her fur was bright and smooth, but she was blind and black. She felt very strange.

"Sister in law, if you want to have a cat, you might as well have a white one. It's OK to have a flower cat. This one is too ugly and blind!" Chu Miaoshu looked disgusted.

"I'm happy." Ye Tang picked a faint path.

Chu Miaoshu glanced and didn't bother to talk to her: "I'll go back first."

Then he turned and went out.

"Girl, what are you going to wear tomorrow?" Qiuju happily went to the wardrobe and began to search.

Ye Tangcai thought for a while, and his red lips turned up: "wear the most beautiful suit! It's red. "

……

The next morning, at the moment of Chenshi, the autumn wind was slightly cool.

Early in the morning, Chunshan ran over and stood in the courtyard and called, "third grandma, third grandma, are you all right? The big girl is waiting for you at the flower gate! "

Qiuju and huiran are combing Ye Tang's hair. When they hear the cry outside the door, Qiuju's face is black. They promise, "it's coming."

Chunshan just left.

Qiuju's small face was angry: "I really take myself as the Lord! The Crown Princess invited our girl to go. She rubbed it once and took herself as the protagonist. "

Ye Tangcai flashed sarcasm in his eyes and didn't say much.

Qiuju put a peach blossom tassel gold hairpin on ye Tangcai: "OK."

"Let's go." Ye Tangcai stood up and went out with Qiuju.

Outside the hanging flower gate in the East, under a jujube tree, Chu Miaoshu was sitting at the stone table there, holding a small mirror and constantly shining. When he heard the sound, he raised his head: "little sister-in-law, you are so slow..."

When she said this, she became stiff. She saw that ye Tang was wearing a well knit Ru skirt, a plain white and light coat, revealing a dark red Chee. Qian Hong's skirt is a lower garment with Begonia flowers. She has a slim waist and is skillful. She can't walk lightly. She wears water red gauze and silk. Her steps are flying in succession.

Chu Miaoshu looked down and saw that he was wearing a double breasted Ru skirt today, which was also Qian red! This is a shirt! And I don't look as good as ye Tangcai.

Chu Miaoshu's face was very ugly: "sister-in-law, why do you wear the same clothes as me?"

"Nothing." Ye Tangcai glanced at her, but the style was similar.

But this pair of Ru skirts are of this style. Her upper shirt is plain white, while Chu Miaoshu is light yellow, that is, the lower skirts are Qian Hong, and the flowers scattered on the skirt are different.

"Big girl, it's funny. The last time my third grandmother went to the prince's house, she was almost dressed like this. At that time, the big girl was wearing Beizi. This time, my girl still wore it, but the big girl also wore Ru skirt. " Qiuju said discontentedly, with a hint of irony.

Chu Miaoshu choked. Last time she did wear Beizi, but when she saw Ye Tang wearing a double breasted Ru skirt, she felt that it showed her waist and figure. Therefore, she chose the double breasted Ru skirt whether she went to King Liang's house last time or this time.

"It's getting late. Are you going?" Ye Tangcai said faintly.

Chu Miaoshu was very unhappy, but he did learn from others first, so he had to say, "let's go!"

The four got into the car. Qing'er drove his horse and went out of Dingguo Bo's house.

Qing'er set out in a carriage. About two quarters of an hour, he drove into the east corner gate of Taifu and stopped at the Chuihua gate.

Chu Miaoshu immediately jumped out of the car first. Sure enough, he saw Qin and Se waiting there. He quickly came forward and said with a smile: "sister Qin and Se, let's meet again."

"Yes, Miss Chu is becoming more and more beautiful." Qin se smiled and praised.

Chu Miaoshu was secretly proud. When ye Tang came forward, Qin and Se said, "please!"

They followed Qin and se to turn left and right. After a while, they came to Zhenghua hospital.

When he entered the room, he saw the princess and the prince sitting on the couch, drinking tea. In front of their bed was a long table with a beautiful servant girl cooking tea.

At the sight of the prince, Chu Miaoshu's eyes lit up and looked at him with fascination.

They came forward to salute: "see your highness, see the princess."

"Get up and sit down!" The Crown Princess waved her hand gently.

The prince took a cup of tea and started a smile on his lips: "grandma Chu's tea was well cooked last time. Let's cook tea this time!"

"Yes!" Ye Tangcai hangs his head and agrees.

The servant girl who was sitting in front of the bed of the prince and his wife immediately got up and gave up her position. Ye Tangcai came forward and sat on the putuan and began to cook tea.

Chu Miaoshu looked at ye Tangcai who was so close to the prince and his concubine. Her face was stiff. She also wanted to make tea for the prince over there!

"Miss Chu, this way, please." Qin se said with a smile.

Chu Miaoshu was not angry, but he had to follow Qin and se to the long table on the right, sat down with Qin and Se, and reluctantly wiped the flowers.

Chu Miaoshu thought that ye Tangcai could be so close to the crown prince and the crown princess. She was not angry. She also thought of making tea for the crown prince over there!

After thinking about it, she wiped the flowers and looked at ye Tangcai: "little sister-in-law, you've been so tired lately. Can you make tea? Madam, my little sister-in-law has been tired recently and her tea is hot. I'm afraid that she and Her Highness will be hurt accidentally. "

Ye Tang picked up a small purple clay pot with a slender hand. Listening to this, his eyes flashed slightly, and his curled eyelashes as long as feather fans hung gently, covering the mockery in his eyes.

The prince only looked down at ye Tangcai and saw that she had a beautiful head and eyes.

The Crown Princess thought Chu Miaoshu's sudden speech was very rude, but the crown prince was staring at ye Tangcai. Her heart was sour, so she answered Chu Miaoshu to stir up the atmosphere: "Oh, is grandma Chu very tired recently?"

"Yes! You don't know, madam. My little sister-in-law has an accident at her mother's house. She runs around the Autumn House and yamen all day. Naturally, she is tired. " Chu Miaoshu stopped and looked at the princess eagerly.

She hoped that the crown princess would say that since she was tired, let Ye Tang pick the flowers and let her go to make tea!

The crown princess only said, "recently, the palace also heard about grandma Chu's family..." when she said this, she stopped her mouth and her face was stiff.

She wanted to say that it was shameful for ye Chengde to raise an outer room, but now what they did seemed more than raising an outer room... Even the outer room was not, so they wanted to sleep

The crown princess was about to change the topic. She didn't want ye Tangcai to lift her head with a faint smile: "yes, my mother laughed at my mother's family."

She was worried about how to bring up the topic. She didn't want chu Miaoshu to do her a big favor.
