Chapter 44 Conflict
Yu Qingqing glanced at Lu Xiuqun with dissatisfaction and followed Yan Hu. Princess Heyi frowned and felt a little embarrassed. In her heart, she wanted to be with Yan Hu, but as the master, she could not abandon a guest. Even if she was a royal noble girl, she could not be too willful, after all, she had to give her mother face.
Lu Xiuqun looked at Princess Heyi pitifully, "Princess, I..."
"Okay, stop talking." Princess Heyi interrupted her, not wanting to listen to her defense, and she regretted that she had agreed to bring Lu Xiuqun here. It was a disappointment to offend people by talking nonsense on the first day.
After soaking for half an hour, Yan Huo said, "It's time to go out."
"No, it feels so good to soak. I want to soak for a while." Princess Heyi lay on the wall of the pool and said with half-squinted eyes.
"If you can't soak the hot spring for too long, it will cause dizziness and dehydration. Soaking it once will have benefits and can nourish the skin. However, if you soak it for a long time, the skin will turn yellow. Do you want to become a yellow-faced woman?" Yan Huo asked with a raised eyebrows.
"Don't scare me." Princess Heyi said with wide eyes.
Yan Huo snorted coldly and said, "If you don't believe it, you can try it. Qingqing, let's not worry about her, let's go up first."
"I can't tell you." Princess Heyi quickly followed the two of them out of the pool, and Lu Xiuqun also silently went out of the pool.
The maids guarding outside quickly came in to serve the four ladies to take a shower and change their clothes, put on thick coats, put on their cloaks, and returned to the warm house.
Not long after the four of them sat on the kang, the maid brought four bowls of ginger black tea. After drinking the tea, Yu Qingqing smiled and said, "It's okay to do it, let's fight the flower cards."
"Did you bring a flower card?" asked Princess Heyi.
"Of course, how could I not bring the flower cards?" Yu Qingqing is a master of Douhua cards.
Although he had any objections to Lu Xiuqun, Yan Huo did not discourage everyone's interest and sat opposite Lu Xiuqun.
"I'm not very good at playing." Lu Xiuqun said weakly. She played Go on weekdays. Compared to Yangchun Baixue's Go, Huacai was just a Liba guy. Lu Xiuqun originally disdained to play, but she didn't want to, and didn't dare to make the three of them unhappy again.
"Sema, come and teach Miss Lu." Princess Heyi said loudly.
As a beginner, Lu Xiuqun lost all the copper coins as bets in just half an hour. The card was not good, and then continued to fight. The four of them came out of the warm pavilion and took a walk in the veranda for a while. In the evening, they gathered together for dinner again. The maid brought the meal. Since they arrived at the farm outside the city, the dishes were mainly wild game, braised deer meat, braised wild boar meat, stir-fried roe deer meat, fried turtle dove, crispy fish pieces, garlic-roe bamboo rat, spicy rabbit diced scallion, scallion-flavored winter bamboo shoots, mushroom pheasant soup and ginseng vermicelli soup.
"It's so rich, I'm going to salivate!" Princess Heyi said, wiping her mouth.
Yu Qingqing reached out to grab a turtle dove, opened her mouth and chewed it; Lu Xiuqun frowned slightly and said, "Miss Yu, use chopsticks to keep your hands full of oil. Although the dishes are delicious, you should still pay attention to the dining etiquette."
Yu Qingqing was stunned, not knowing whether to put down the turtledove or continue to chew. Although what Lu Xiuqun said made sense, her tone was not very comfortable to hear. Yan Huo said lightly: "There are no outsiders here, so it's okay to indulge at all. Moreover, eating like this makes you feel better."
Yan Huo supported Yu Qingqing with his actions and reached out to grab a turtle dove and started to bite it. Princess Heyi bit the fish in her mouth and frowned at Lu Xiuqun. This man was not old, so why did he look like an old lady in the palace? It was so annoying.
After finishing the meal quietly, when it was dark, the four of them returned to their room to wash up, surrounded by maids.
Yan Hu was nestled in the soft couch, looking through the book he brought, Yu Qingqing came over, took off her shoes, climbed onto the soft couch, got into the brocade quilt, laying on his head with Yan Hu, and calling out, "Xiaoxiao."
"What's wrong?" Yan Huo put the book aside and looked at her.
"I don't like Lu Xiuqun." Yu Qingqing said in a muffled voice.
Lu Xiuqun's little thoughts were on his face. In fact, such people don't have to be too cautious. They just don't like it or become friends. Yan Huo smiled faintly and said, "We can't live here for a few days, so bear with it. When we return to the city, we just don't interact with her."
"But she is the niece of Princess Qin." Yu Qingqing said depressedly.
"You are still the queen's nephew and granddaughter." Yan Huo smiled, Yu Qingqing is not inferior to Lu Xiuqun's identity.
Yu Qingqing sighed and said, "I'm afraid that she will say our words in front of Princess Qin. You'll be fine, but I'm the princess's attendant. If Princess Qin believes her words and replaces me, it will be a very embarrassing thing."
"No, Princess Qin is not the kind of person who listens and believes in the side. Besides, even if Princess Qin really believes her words, it is impossible to replace you. With the Queen, you have to look at the Buddha's face if you don't look at the monk's face." Yan Huo comforted her.
Yu Qingqing thought for a while and said, "You are very reasonable. I am a mediocre person who disturbs you."
"Don't think so much. It's appropriate to learn tea art from her tomorrow. Let's walk around the village to see if we can buy some fresh wild game." Yan Huo said with a smile.
Yu Qingqing nodded and suddenly laughed: "The princess should regret bringing her here."
"It's too late to regret." Yan Huo also smiled wickedly.
The two of them gloat about the misfortune and disliked Princess Heyi who was about to be in dire straits.
The next day, Princess Heyi met Yan Huo and Yu Qingqing, one wearing a dark blue short jacket and a cotton skirt of the same color; the other wearing a blue blue short jacket and a cotton skirt of the same color, and a hard-soled boots on her feet; her hair was tied with a double-ring bun, and she did not wear beads, but was tied with a water-red hairband, and she was simple like a village girl in a village near Zhuangzi, "Why are you two dressing up?"
"This is suitable for walking and playing in the fields." Yan Huo smiled.
"Then I'll go change my clothes too." Princess Heyi turned around and was about to leave, but was pulled by Yu Qingqing.
"Princess, you don't have to change it." Yu Qingqing smiled.
"Why?" Princess Heyi was puzzled. Although her outfit was not gorgeous, she was too dazzling compared to them.
"Because you don't go, you have to stay in the room to learn tea art." Yan Hu and Yu Qingqing said with a smile.
Princess Heyi's face changed slightly, "You...I...I...What kind of evil have I committed?" She finally got free from the palace school and was shackled again before she was free for a few days.
After breakfast, Yan Hu and Yu Qingqing went out hand in hand. Princess Heyi looked at the two of them with a resentful look on her face. Tu Niu had been waiting outside the yard for a long time. When she saw the two of them coming out, she saluted and said, "Please treat you to the two ladies."
"No need to be polite. We want to walk around, you can lead the way." Yu Qingqing smiled.
