Because of Ye Chonghua's support, the problems of site selection, decoration, and manpower were easily solved. Ouyang Wu's mooncake shop opened very smoothly. When the decoration of the shop was almost done, he chose an auspicious time to open it in a lively manner, and even set off two strings of firecrackers at the door.
Ouyang Wu only showed up at Manji, and the news that Princess Ning opened a mooncake shop spread quickly, which was naturally what Ouyang Wu was happy to see.
Perhaps because it was the mooncake shop opened by Princess Ning, or because Ye Chonghua went to the shop for a while, when the official opening day came, Manji was surrounded by a crowd of people. In addition to some curious onlookers, there were also many officials who came to congratulate.
Ouyang Wu asked people to make a lot of small mooncakes to distribute to these officials and the onlookers. These small mooncakes were small in size and tasted good. Everyone was naturally thinking about them after having tasted them.
On the first day of opening, all the mooncakes of Man Kee were sold out. With such good business, Man Kee should make more mooncakes, but Ouyang Wu did the opposite. Scarcity makes things valuable. She made a limited number of them every day. The taste was fresh and the packaging was exquisite, so the price was naturally higher. Even so, people came to Man Kee to order mooncakes every day.
Ouyang Wu had a lot of ideas in her mind. The variety and taste of mooncakes were endless. The business became more and more prosperous. Basically, they were sold out as soon as they came out of the oven.
The funniest thing was the King of Anyang. The princess loved to eat Ouyang Wu's mooncakes very much, but there were too many people and too little meat. The King of Anyang had the idea of Ouyang Wu and pestered Ouyang Wu to make more for him every day, but Ouyang Wu said that this precedent should not be set. What if everyone did this in the future?
In desperation, the King of Anyang had to send servants to line up early every day to grab mooncakes.
In this way, by the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Man Kee's name was already very famous. All the dignitaries in the capital city ordered Man Kee's mooncakes, and even specified that they wanted Man Kee's mooncake gift boxes as gifts. Therefore, in recent days, many people lined up in front of Man Kee before dawn.
Many housekeepers of noble families were usually aloof and did not take ordinary people seriously in the past, but now they put all their efforts into grabbing mooncakes, just like going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. Some even waited for several days in a row, fearing that they would not be able to grab them and be scolded by their masters. For a while, Man Kee's mooncakes in Ning Wangfu became the most luxurious and delicious food in the mouths of the people of Xiling.
Soon, this news reached Li Gong's ears. Li Gong wanted to find fault with Ouyang Wu for a long time. Now, when he heard the report from his servants, his face was full of indignation. Ouyang Wu, it was Ouyang Wu again.
She made Li Yunfei so miserable, why can she still be so glorious? Opening a shop? I will make sure you can't keep it open.
A hint of viciousness flashed across Li Gong's face.
The next day, before Honeymoon opened, a long line of people had already formed in front of the door, and people in the crowd were discussing whether they could get mooncakes today.
"Our little prince likes the mooncakes here very much. His wife dotes on him and sent me to line up early in the morning."
"Our ancestors never ate sweets, but after tasting this mooncake, they ate several in one breath."
"I heard that after eating this cake, the whole person feels energetic!"
"Our princess is pregnant. She has been vomiting everything she eats recently, but she can only eat mooncakes. Our prince dotes on his princess and asks me to line up every day."
"I have been queuing for the fourth day. If I can't get a mooncake today, my master will kick me out!"
"Hey, stop talking, open the door, open the door!"
A beautiful woman in yellow shirt stood at the door of the store: "Please line up, don't rush, come one by one..."
Some people who finally got the mooncakes after queuing for several days almost cried with joy. The mooncakes of Manji are hard to buy even if you have money. At this moment, a servant held the mooncake and shouted: "Master, Master, I got it, I got it!"
The people around couldn't help but show envy in their eyes, and at this time, they saw the servant handing the exquisite box to a man in gorgeous clothes. This man was the third son of the Li family, Li Gong.
He took the box from the servant without caring, opened it in front of everyone, took out a mooncake from it, and looked at it with disdain: "It's just something like this, and someone is still grabbing it?"
Li Gong put the mooncake in his mouth and tasted it, then spit it on the ground with a sound of "Puh", and threw the remaining half of the mooncake in his hand on the ground and crushed it with his feet: "What is this? Sweet and salty, this thing is worth this price? It's really nonsense!"
The people around were stunned when they saw his behavior, and looked at him with a puzzled look.
The masters have been thinking about it since they tasted this mooncake. There was also a servant who was lucky enough to be rewarded and tasted one. Thinking about it now, he just felt his mouth water.
If it wasn't delicious, how could such a famous nobleman specifically order Manji's mooncakes? How could anyone line up in front of Manji's mooncakes? This person is ignorant!
At this time, someone in the crowd shouted: "Isn't this Mr. Li? Mr. Li, you can't say that."
The crowd, which had originally been quiet, suddenly became noisy. Knowing that the person standing in front of them was Li Gong, the third son of the Li family, they were even more indignant. Li Gong's reputation was known to everyone in the capital. He was nothing more than a playboy who lingered in red-light districts. Looking at the crushed mooncakes on the ground, it was indeed the behavior of that playboy.
Li Gong sneered when he saw the man saying this: "Why, are you interested in such low-quality food? I think we should leave early!" After one person led the way, someone else stepped forward: "Mr. Li, if you don't like it, sell the rest to us, so we don't have to queue up!" Li Gong's face was full of sarcasm, and he laughed: "Since I have bought it, I will take it back to feed the guard dog, but I don't know if the dog will eat it." As soon as these words came out, they really angered everyone. What did he mean? Isn't it a slap in their faces? No, it's a slap in the face of their master. Does he mean that their master is not even as good as a dog? This is simply outrageous! Everyone's expression was full of resentment, and they all cast a disgusted look at Li Gong, but Li Gong was the third son of the Li family after all, so everyone didn't dare to be presumptuous, and only thought in their hearts that they must go back to report to their masters. Li Gong stood in the crowd with a smug look on his face. He was going to smash Ouyang Wu's signboard and make her shop closed!
As the crowd was discussing, they saw the yellow-shirted woman from before come out again. Her face was no longer as gentle as before. She said to everyone: "My master said that making mooncakes requires not only materials and skills, but also the mood of the maker. After being disturbed by this young master today, I am not in the mood to make delicious mooncakes anymore. Please go back."
One person asked cautiously: "Miss, will you make it tomorrow?"
"It depends on the master's mood!"
After saying that, the yellow-shirted woman turned around and went back regardless of the reactions of the crowd, slamming the door.
The faces of the people who heard this suddenly fell, "Oh my God! No way!"
The crowd made unbelievable sounds from time to time. The masters said that if they couldn't buy Man Kee's mooncakes today, they should not go back. What should they do?
"What did the girl say just now? Will you do it tomorrow?" "It depends on my mood!" "No, what about later?" The crowd asked from time to time, but everyone was reluctant to leave without buying mooncakes, and gathered at the door to see if there was any chance of a turnaround. The instigator of this incident was leaning on the side, smiling triumphantly. Everyone's eyes were all on Li Gong, and their eyes had changed from disgust to anger! Seeing that he had aroused public anger, the servant beside Li Gong quietly hid behind Li Gong, but Li Gong was not moved at all. He raised his chin and left proudly with the servant. At this time, he was in a very good mood, but he didn't know what was waiting for him! "What? Honeymoon is closing? I don't know if it will open tomorrow? It depends on my mood?!" The Prince of Anyang is getting stronger and stronger, and the roar shook the entire Prince of Anyang's Palace. The servant who came back from Manji hurriedly told King Anyang what had happened, but King Anyang became even angrier as he heard it, and the muscles on his face trembled. He turned his head and glanced at the princess who was still lying on the bed. She had not been able to eat anything since morning, and was just waiting for Manji's mooncakes!
He slammed his hand heavily on the table, and all his dignity and elegance disappeared. He suddenly shouted, "What a bastard, he is so shapeless and speaks wildly. I will punish him."
He immediately brought several servants from the palace who had a good foundation in martial arts and went to the door.
Li Gong always liked to linger in fireworks places. This time, he made Ouyang Wu stop working, and he was even more proud. Naturally, he wanted to reward himself. But he didn't expect that just as he indulged in the gentle countryside, several people rushed in, picked him up in dishevel, threw him on the ground, and then beat him up.
Li Gong had always been respected, and had never been bullied like this before. He was furious: "I am the third son of the Li family. Who dares to disrespect me? Are you tired of living?"
After saying this, the people who were fighting stopped. Li Gong thought his words had worked, so he sneered with a dark face: "Are you scared now? Stop now and I can spare your lives."
A cold voice fell into his ears: "See who is impatient, keep beating me!"
This, this voice is clearly the King of Anyang!
Li Gong cried out in pain, and could not help but protect his head and beg for mercy: "Your Highness, I wonder how Li Gong offended you?"
King Anyang looked at the bruised and naked Li Gong in front of him, frowned in disgust, and said: "You didn't offend me, but you offended my unborn son!"
Li Gong was shocked: "What...what?"
"My son can't eat Man Kee mooncakes today, so let me, as a father, vent his anger!"
Li Gong cursed in his heart that it was ridiculous, and couldn't help but retorted: "Your Highness, what you said is wrong. Who knew you could give birth to a son? First, she is a girl. She likes to eat sweet mooncakes. She must be a girl! "
Prince Anyang was so angry that his nose was crooked. He became more and more angry and said, "Beat her, beat her to death!"
The sun was shining. The guards in front of the Rongguo Mansion were dozing off. Suddenly, they saw a man with a dusty face being brought back and thrown in front of them. They looked closely and found that it was their third young master. They couldn't help but say in surprise, "Third Young Master, what happened to you?"
Li Gong was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. One of his legs was even broken. He couldn't stand up. He just pointed straight at the people in front of him.
When Prince Anyang saw him pointing at him, he snorted and said, "Tell Prime Minister Li that if he doesn't discipline his son, I will discipline him for him! No need to thank me, hum!"
Then he left in a huff. When Lee Hsien Yao saw Lee Gong, he gasped and said angrily, "Who is so bold!"
"Yes, it's Prince Anyang..." The guard who was supporting Lee Gong said timidly.
The extremely angry face hesitated when he heard Prince Anyang. Even though he was the prime minister, he had to give Prince Anyang some face. He was the only brother of the emperor. He couldn't touch him at all. Not to mention beating his son and breaking his leg, even if he took his son's life, he couldn't do anything to him.
Li Xianyao sighed, thinking that the beating was in vain. Li Gong still said incoherently: "Dad, you have to avenge me!"
But he didn't expect Li Xianyao to slap him on the head and said angrily: "You stinky boy, you can mess with anyone, but you have to mess with Prince Anyang. Are you going to cause trouble for the Rongguo Mansion?"
After that, he only ordered the servants to take good care of Li Gong, and he went in first. He went to the study and thought about how to save his face when he saw Prince Anyang again, but also not offend him. This is really a headache...
Li Gong was still indignant after Li Xianyao left. After thinking about it, he called his personal guard and gave him a few instructions. The guard left the Li Mansion and ran towards the direction of the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
Since the last time Ouyang Wu examined him and diagnosed that he could no longer have children, Ye Feixi has been almost devastated and listless all day long. Even if he wanted to trip up Ye Chonghua and constantly provoke trouble, he had no leverage and could not act rashly.
The news that Li Gong brought him was exactly what he wanted. Ouyang Wu opened a store in the name of Princess Ning and sold mooncakes at a high price to make money. Is there anything better than this that reflects that Ye Chonghua and the others are plundering the people?
After reporting, Li Gong's personal guard saw that Ye Feixi had no reaction, so he raised his head slightly, but saw that Ye Feixi's face was gloomy and the smile on the corner of his lips was very cold. He couldn't help but shiver and said carefully: "Fourth Prince, my son said that this matter is beneficial to you, so he sent me to report. Now I have to go back to take care of the son."
Ye Feixi said, "Take good care of your son. He really helped this time."
The guard said yes respectfully and left the room.
Ye Feixi finally got a handle on Ye Zhonghua, so he hurried to the palace regardless of the late hour.
When he arrived at the palace, the emperor was about to have dinner, so Ye Feixi knelt down and said, "See you, father."
The emperor rarely saw Ye Feixi recently, so he said, "Get up, can you have dinner?"
Ye Feixi stood up and said, "Thank you, father. I was in a hurry to enter the palace and haven't had dinner yet."
The emperor ordered the eunuch to prepare an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks. Ye Feixi thanked him and sat down.
Ye Feixi looked at the cakes in front of him, as if remembering something, and said to the emperor: "Looking at these cakes, Feixi remembered something, I don't know if I should tell you."
The emperor's eyes flashed, and he said: "Oh? What is it?"
Ye Feixi said with embarrassment: "I heard today that my second sister-in-law seems to have opened a mooncake shop called Manji. This is understandable, but my father doesn't know that my second sister-in-law asked for twenty taels of silver for just a few cakes. If you don't know, you might think that our royal family condoned her to use the title of Princess Ning to drive up prices!"
The emperor remained calm and said: "Oh? What do you think Feixi should do?"
Ye Feixi became more and more proud as he spoke, and said: "In my opinion, my second sister-in-law should shut down Manji and punish him, and she should apologize publicly!"
"How dare you!" The emperor couldn't help but yell at Ye Feixi, and even his mood for eating was ruined!
Ye Feixi couldn't recover for a moment, looking at Xingshang in disbelief, but heard the emperor continue: "You do nothing all day long, just staring at others, Feixi, you really disappoint me more and more!"
Ye Feixi was so scared that he knelt on the ground and said: "Father, calm down, but it was my second sister-in-law who did something wrong!"
The emperor looked disappointed and said: "Do you know what your second sister-in-law did?" Without waiting for Ye Feixi's reaction, he continued: "Wu'er has already told me that all the income from the mooncakes sold by Man Kee will be donated to the south to alleviate disasters. Why did you frame her like this? You really don't know what you mean!"
And the emperor had naturally eaten the mooncakes made by Ouyang Wu. Not only did they taste good, but he also felt very happy after eating them. They were also packaged in such exquisite boxes. How could they be expensive at such a high price? Besides, Wu'er earned all the money from these powerful people. They were stingy and even had to prevaricate about donations. Wu'er was able to find a way to make them pay, and he was very impressed.
Ye Feixi knelt on the ground trembling with resentment. He didn't expect Ouyang Wu to have made such preparations. He only hated himself for being too reckless. And the news about Li Gong was really killing people!
Full memory.
Ouyang Wu was guarding the oven, waiting for the chocolate cookies she had just put in, while Wang Ruoxi was holding Murong Xiang, who had been coaxed to sleep by her.
Since the opening, because the business of the store was relatively prosperous, the two often stayed until very late. Ye Chonghua would come to pick up Ouyang Wu every night, and Wang Ruoxi often stayed here with Murong Xiang.
There was a sense of peace in the quiet atmosphere. Wang Ruoxi frowned as she thought of what happened during the day. Looking at Ouyang Wu's indifferent look, she asked worriedly, "Wu'er, is it okay to close the store door like this today?"
Ouyang Wu curled her lips. The cookies in the oven were ready. She took out the chocolate cookies from the oven, picked up one and put it in front of Wang Ruoxi, saying, "Ruoxi, try it."
Ouyang Wu's oven was an improved rechargeable oven. It only needed to be charged regularly, and it did not need to use electricity directly. When Wang Ruoxi first saw it, she thought this square thing was magical. Ouyang Wu only said that it was a strange and lewd skill from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Wang Ruoxi was just curious and stopped asking questions. She only knew that this square thing was called an oven. Now she really likes the snacks made in this oven.
Wang Ruoxi looked at the cute cookies after baking and couldn't help but put one in her mouth. It was crispy and the sweetness of chocolate mixed with the thick texture of raisins. She nodded: "Well, I have never eaten this kind of thing." Ouyang Wu placed the cookie on the low table next to Wang Ruoxi, sat next to her, and said: "So do you think it's okay to close the door?"
Ouyang Wu's confidence infected Wang Ruoxi, and her previous worries were gone. Her eyes were full of joy and she smiled: "I'm afraid they will miss it more."
The two women The two smiled at each other, and Ouyang Wu said, "I was thinking of closing the shop for a few days to whet their appetite, but I had no reason. I didn't expect Li Gongke to bump into me."
Wang Ruoxi just smiled. Perhaps because of the busy days, her face was no longer as worried as before, and gradually became cheerful. But after all, she was a woman. Since Manji opened, she often stayed here. She didn't pay much attention to Murong Yunshu. She devoted herself to the shop, making mooncakes and packaging them. She was very careful and serious, sometimes even more than Ouyang Wu. In order to make the mooncakes look more beautiful, she stayed up late at night. Ouyang Wu carefully looked at the gentle and elegant woman in front of her. There were some dark circles under her eyes. After all, she was a woman who had given birth to a child. She had a very bad life for so many years. She was hurt by Murong Yunshu and worried about Xianger. Compared with other women in the aristocratic family who were good at dressing up, she seemed a little more plain.
With this in mind, Ouyang Wu stood up and went into the inner room. She reached out and took out a bottle of high-end eye cream essence and a set of expensive skin care products from the space, along with an exquisite and beautiful makeup box, and then walked out of the room. Wang Ruoxi saw the exquisite box in Ouyang Wu's hand at a glance, and curiosity appeared on her face. Before she could speak, Ouyang Wu sat beside her, placed the box on the low table, and said to Wang Ruoxi with a smile: "You look more and more haggard recently. If you go back to the Murong family like this, they will think I am mean to you! Here are some skin care and makeup products. You must take good care of them and keep them radiant and bright. You also have to take care of Xiang'er. Don't go to bed as late as you did last night. Take care of yourself."
Wang Ruoxi listened to Ouyang Wu's words and looked at her sincere eyes. She couldn't help but feel moved. She knew that Ouyang Wu's words were to save her face, so she said sincerely: "Wu'er, thank you."
Apart from these three words, she couldn't say anything else. Ouyang Wu not only helped her, but also gave her hope and a future.
Ouyang Wu was not modest, but told Wang Ruoxi in detail how to use the essence and skin care products, and Wang Ruoxi wrote them down one by one.
The next day was closed, but Wang Ruoxi said that she wanted to try making cookies in the store and didn't want to go back to Murong's house. Ouyang Wu didn't force it. When Ye Chonghua came to pick her up, they went back to the palace together. But when she saw Murong Yunshu standing outside the store, she couldn't help but sighed. Murong Yunshu smiled bitterly at the two of them.
When Ouyang Wu returned to Manji after two days of rest, she felt bright when she saw Wang Ruoxi again. She was gentle and refined, and now she became more and more charming.
I don't know if it's because Murong Xiang is in good health and doesn't need her to worry about him day and night, or because Manji's business nourishes her, or because Ouyang Wu's cosmetics work, her skin is refreshed compared to before, exuding an attractive luster, and the whole person looks radiant, more beautiful and graceful than before.
Ouyang Wu saw Murong Xiang holding Wang Ruoxi's hand sweetly and said, "Mother has become more and more beautiful recently." Wang Ruoxi smiled very gently and hugged Murong Xiang. There was a little kindness in her faint smile. As long as Xiang'er was safe, she would ask for nothing. It is said that confident women are the most beautiful. Ouyang Wu also felt that the woman in front of her was more attractive than those ladies from wealthy families. Just when she was about to call her, she saw that Murong Xiang, who was held in her arms, seemed to have seen something. Suddenly, he pointed to a light blue figure not far away and said, "Mother, it's Daddy..." Wang Ruoxi looked up and saw Murong Yunshu standing opposite her, staring at her blankly, with a dark expression on his face. Wang Ruoxi's gentle smile slowly tightened, with a hint of coldness, as if she hadn't seen anything, and said softly to Murong Xiang in her arms: "Xiang'er, mother will make you some cookies, okay?"
Although Murong Xiang was reluctant to leave his father far away, he had very little contact with his father, but he was even more reluctant to leave his mother and the food, so he responded obediently: "Yes!"
Wang Ruoxi hugged Murong Xiang and went into the house, not even a glance at Murong Yunshu.
Murong Yunshu still stood there patiently, with a trace of regret and disappointment on his face. Ouyang Wu looked at this man, but felt that he couldn't see through Murong Yunshu's mind. A woman like Ruoxi had given so many years for him, how could he treat her like this?
In fact, if it were her, she would not be able to forgive a man who didn't believe in her, and the man she loved deeply! Murong Yunshu happened to bump into Ouyang Wu's cold eyes, and was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do. After a long while, he smiled bitterly and turned away sadly.
Just when the capital was in a frenzy over Manji's affairs, the empress dowager who went to Jiuhua Mountain to pray for the country finally returned to the palace. The empress dowager was tired, so she exempted everyone from paying homage, saying that it would not be too late to pay homage when a banquet was held in a while. Therefore, the empress dowager returned to the palace without making a big fuss.
But, some people would not miss the opportunity to make a false accusation in front of the empress dowager at the first opportunity.
Ye Feixi had been extremely annoyed since he was reprimanded by the emperor that day. Now he only wanted to bring down Ouyang Wu and Ye Chonghua. The return of the empress dowager gave him a great opportunity. The empress dowager loved him since he was a child. Therefore, on the second day after the empress dowager returned to the palace, Ye Feixi came to the empress dowager's palace.
"Feixi meets the royal grandmother." Ye Feixi said to the empress dowager who was sitting on the top.
The Empress Dowager looked at her grandson, who had pleased her since childhood, with a kind look on her face. She smiled and said, "Get up quickly and let the Empress Dowager see you."
Ye Feixi stood up, smiling, and took two steps forward and said, "Grandmother, you are finally back. Feixi missed you very much!"
Naturally, everyone likes to hear good words. The Empress Dowager was relieved when she heard this. She smiled and said, "You, child, have been so good at talking since childhood. Whether you miss me or not is just a matter of words. I didn't expect that you and Feibai have both gotten married during this period. I am very relieved. It's a pity to miss your wedding."
Ye Feixi took another step forward and said, "What's the pity? If the Empress Dowager wants to see Yunfei, Feixi will bring her to the palace to see the Empress Dowager tomorrow. But as for the second sister-in-law... Feixi can't guarantee it."
The Empress Dowager didn't understand the deep meaning of it. She didn't like it very much when she heard it, so she said, "What do you mean?"
Ye Feixi seemed to be in a dilemma. After hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "Grandmother, you don't know that the princess consort married by the second prince is a woman from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. She was initially exchanged for six cities. Since she married the second prince, she has disturbed the peace in the palace. Some time ago, she actually used the excuse of treating Yunfei to make Yunfei... make Yunfei infertile for life... This is not enough. Grandmother, do you know what she is doing now? She opened a bakery outside the palace in the name of Princess Ning, and made profits at high prices. How many people have been cheated!"
"How outrageous! Where did this country girl come from? She is so vicious!" The more the empress dowager listened, the gloomier her face became. The jade finger guard made a sharp sound on the table. After a long silence, she continued, "I want to see what this vicious woman is capable of, and see if she can eat me!"
Ye Feixi looked at the angry empress dowager, and a smile of success flashed across his face.
On the second day, after Ye Chonghua went to court, the palace announced that the Empress Dowager wanted to summon Ouyang Wu. Ouyang Wu was slightly startled when she heard the order, but she understood in a blink of an eye. How could that person give up such a good opportunity? After thinking it through, she followed the visitor into the palace with a calm face.
Ouyang Wu walked into the hall and smelled sandalwood in the air. She looked up and saw the Empress Dowager sitting dignifiedly in a high position with a serious expression.
Ouyang Wu was not afraid. She just stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and saluted solemnly: "Wu'er greets the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager just had a solemn face and did not say anything. She just sat there quietly, looking Ouyang Wu up and down.
The woman in front of her, even though she looked like this, did not show any hesitation or fear. She was so neither humble nor arrogant, and was calm and generous. At first glance, I am afraid that she will win everyone's favor!
The Queen Mother sneered in her heart. If Fei Xi had not told her yesterday, she might have been fooled by this woman. Such a woman, with a stunning face, but full of evil schemes, if, if she took advantage of Fei Bai's favor to stir up trouble, I'm afraid it would turn the world upside down.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother's face became more serious, and even with a hint of disgust.
The Queen Mother did not speak, and Ouyang Wu knelt quietly like this for a full half a quarter of an hour. Her expression was normal, and she didn't even change her posture.
The Queen Mother saw that it was almost done, so she said in a cold voice: "Are you Ouyang Wu?"
The disgust in her tone was not concealed at all.
Ouyang Wu understood in her heart after listening. Sure enough, I'm afraid someone has already reported it.
"Yes." Ouyang Wu replied respectfully, without revealing any dissatisfaction in her words, as if kneeling here was a matter of course.
The Queen Mother's tone softened a little, and she said casually, "I'm a little thirsty, come and pour me a cup of tea." Ordinary palace maids can serve tea, so why let Ouyang Wu do it? "Yes." Ouyang Wu responded, and then slowly stood up, took the teacup from the side and poured a cup for her. She took a few steps forward and was about to hand the teacup to the Queen Mother, but she saw that the Queen Mother's hand was unstable and the boiling hot tea instantly poured all over the Queen Mother. "How dare you!" The Queen Mother stood up in a hurry with a strong anger on her face. Nanny Wang beside her hurriedly wiped the Queen Mother with a handkerchief, complaining, "Why is Princess Ning so careless? What if she scalds the Queen Mother?"
Ouyang Wu had a slight smile on her lips, and was somewhat curious about what the Empress Dowager was going to do.
Though thinking this, Ouyang Wu looked horrified, and hurriedly knelt down, saying, "Wu'er deserves death, Empress Dowager, calm down."
The Empress Dowager did not look at Ouyang Wu, and changed her clothes with the help of Nanny Wang, but did not ask Ouyang Wu to get up.
Ouyang Wu lowered her head and drooped her eyelids. The Empress Dowager did not speak since she changed her clothes, but just sat quietly, looking at Ouyang Wu with a cold expression.
It was quiet all around, and the air seemed to be getting more and more stuffy. After an hour, the Empress Dowager still had no intention of asking Ouyang Wu to get up.
And Nanny Wang on the side had a gleam in her eyes and walked out, but after a moment, she came back with a cushion in her hand. Speaking of which, Nanny Wang was bribed by Ye Feixi before. After Ye Feixi had reported the matter to the Empress Dowager, she gave her some silver and asked her to take action when necessary.
At this time, she finally knew the opportunity.
But she walked slowly forward to Ouyang Wu and whispered, "Princess, are you tired of kneeling?"
She wanted to put the cushion under Ouyang Wu's feet, but Ouyang Wu looked sad and seemed to be afraid, saying, "This, Empress Dowager..."
She looked at the Empress Dowager timidly and said softly, "It's okay."
The ground was cold and hard, and it was really uncomfortable to kneel for a long time. Ouyang Wu gently moved her knees and knelt on the cushion beside her, but she didn't expect the sharp pain to be transmitted to her brain all of a sudden, and she couldn't help but let out a "hiss" from her mouth. There was something wrong with this cushion!
"What? You can't stand kneeling for just a little while?" The Queen Mother saw Ouyang Wu frowning slightly, and she couldn't help but snorted in her heart. How could she be so delicate? She looked at Ouyang Wu with disgust, "Or do you resent me for punishing you?"
"Wu'er dare not." Ouyang Wu endured the pain in her knees and said honestly.
"Really?" The Queen Mother snorted coldly, and then turned to the point: "Do you know why I punished you today?"
"Wu'er doesn't know."
"You are really stubborn!" The Queen Mother was even more angry. Just as she was about to continue scolding, she saw a black shadow appear at the door of Fanghua Palace and walked in hurriedly. When she got closer, she saw that the man was Ye Chonghua.
He strode towards Ouyang Wu with a cold face and worried eyes looking at Ouyang Wu, as if there was no room for anyone else.
Ye Zhonghua looked at his Wuer kneeling there quietly, and his heart was sore and painful. Wuer, whom he held in his heart, was actually punished to kneel! Thinking of this, his steps became faster and faster. As soon as he walked to Ouyang Wu, he stretched out his hand to pull Ouyang Wu up, but saw that she staggered a little. Looking down, he saw faint blood on her knees. His face became more gloomy, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at the empress dowager. There seemed to be a smile on her face, but her eyes became darker.
When the Empress Dowager saw Ye Chonghua, she couldn't help but look at her with some kindness on her face, and said, "Fei Bai, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Grandmother, you miss your grandson so much, so you want to take a closer look at your grandson's wife as soon as you come back? It's cold here, Wu'er is not feeling well, so I'll take her away first." Ye Chonghua tried his best to hold back his displeasure, stretched out his hand and hugged Ouyang Wu in his arms, turned around and left Fanghua Palace, no longer caring about the Empress Dowager behind him.
When had the Empress Dowager been disobeyed like this before? Her face turned pale with anger. Fei Bai had a very good relationship with her, and now he actually talked back to her for an outsider. Thinking of this, she was a little angry with Ouyang Wu.
"I'm not that weak..." Being carried by Ye Chonghua in the palace, surrounded by many palace maids and eunuchs, Ouyang Wu felt a little embarrassed on her face, and wanted to struggle down.
"Shut up!" Ye Chonghua couldn't help but snorted softly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. "I didn't keep an eye on you for a moment, and you got hurt. If Zhulu hadn't told me, I'm afraid I would have come later and your legs would have been broken."
Ouyang Wu thought of the painful touch just now and snorted coldly: "If you don't act more realistically, how can the play go on?"
"You..." Ye Chonghua looked at Ouyang Wu with a cunning look in his eyes, wishing he could pinch her to death, and his face was full of anger. "Next time you dare to do this again, I will..."
"What will you do?"
"Do whatever I want to you!"
Ye Chonghua took Ouyang Wu back quickly. Zhulu saw Ye Chonghua holding Ouyang Wu like this, thinking that something happened to Ouyang Wu, and was startled, and hurriedly said: "Prince, Prince, what's wrong with the princess?"
"Go get a basin of water."
"Yes."
Ye Chonghua took Ouyang Wu back to the bedroom, lifted her skirt, and looked at the blood on her pants. His brows were deeply furrowed, but his tone was gentle: "Take off your pants, let me see?"
"No, let Zhulu come to serve."
Ouyang Wu looked up and saw Ye Chonghua's serious and distressed face. He had no intention of calling for help. She couldn't help but shrink her legs: "Then I'll do it myself."
Ye Chonghua didn't waste time talking to her. He used his fingertips to force, but saw that her pants were carefully torn by him. He accidentally pulled the wound and couldn't help but hissed: "It hurts."
Zhulu just brought in hot water at this time, and saw Ye Chonghua staring at Ouyang Wu's snow-white legs. This ambiguous and charming scene made her blush. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Ye Chonghua glanced at her coldly: "Get out."
"Yes." Zhulu retreated immediately as if facing a great enemy.
