There are also quite a few books in Yan Ruyu's space. Some of them were handed down from the Yan family and were regarded as treasures by his grandfather. They used to be kept at home in a large study room, but he was worried about them. No one dared to steal them for fear that they would catch fire, be soaked in water, or be bitten by insects or rats.

So, I put some of them in Yan Ruyu's space.

Then there are those collected from the study rooms in different palaces along the way, and of course those from the original royal palace.

Originally she had a bibliography of her own books, but when she searched for these later, except for the ones in the palace which were placed separately, all the others were put together. It looked tidy, but it was actually messy and had never been tidied up.

Taking this opportunity, Yan Ruyu packed up her books and looked for the book "Water Flow and Governance".

The gentleman said it was an ancient book and was no longer for sale. The study rooms she had visited before were not owned by ordinary people, but by the rich or powerful. Maybe they had this book.

While tidying up the space, the space vibrated and the abbot called.

As soon as Yan Ruyu answered the call, before she could say anything, the abbot's voice broke in: "Ruyu, is Ruyu here?"

Yan Ruyu thought the voice was unfriendly and seemed to be angry. What was going on?

"I'm here, tell me, what's wrong?"

The abbot snorted, and said in a rather sarcastic tone: "Oh my, I dare not say what's wrong. I am just a poor monk, and I don't have anything to show for it."

Yan Ruyu was not angry but found it funny: "Are you possessed by Xiaolan? I said I was looking for you. If you are not in a good mood, then we can talk about it another day."

The abbot raised his voice: "What do you mean by talk about it another day? Tell me what you want from me first."

Yan Ruyu was about to speak when she heard a cry, which sounded like Dahuang's voice.

She suddenly understood why the abbot was angry.

He secretly thought it was a bad idea, but his tone remained unchanged: "I wanted to give you a gift. I've been very busy recently, and you've helped a lot. You were also injured because of the secret guards. Don't I feel bad about this?"

The abbot's voice was clear and soft: "What are you talking about? We are all family, and we should do what we want. There is no need to feel guilty. So, what is the gift?"

Yan Ruyu took down a small box from the top shelf in the storage room, opened the lid, and said slowly, "It's not expensive, just a string of jadeite Buddha beads, the quality is pretty good. One of them is not jadeite, it is said to be the relic of a deceased monk."

"This is what I got from the manor of King Ji. After much thought, gold and silver are too vulgar and unworthy of you. Only the jade and relic beads are unique in the world and are most suitable."

The abbot's voice was tinged with laughter: "Oh, this...isn't it a little too expensive?"

"What's expensive? We're all family, there's no such thing as expensive. Besides, when you get to Youcheng, you'll have more opportunities to show off your status, so you'll need a few things to show your status."

The abbot laughed like a chicken: "Okay, okay, you are right. I don't mind it myself, but I can't embarrass you and the prince, right?"

Yan Ruyu suppressed her laughter and said, "When are you free? Come and get it."

"I'm free now. Wait for me. I'll be there soon."

After saying that, he hung up.

Yan Ruyu laughed a few times to herself, took the Buddhist beads and left the space, waiting for the abbot to come.

Soon, the abbot's laughter was heard in the yard. He was carrying a basket and a basket on his back. The baskets contained various fresh fruits and vegetables, which he handed to Linlang and the eldest boss. The basket on his back contained flowers, which he carried directly into the house.

The big yellow cat behind him walked gracefully with a look of contempt for everything. The pheasant sat steadily on the tree, squinting its eyes and glancing at it, ignoring it.

Xiaolan flapped her wings and called out in a rude voice, "Oh my, Dahuang Dahuang, you are fat and have long hair, your eyes are narrowed, and you are crazier than the sky!"

Dahuang paused and looked up at it. Xiaolan was circling over its head, flapping its wings.

"Oh my, are you angry? I can fly."

Dahuang ignored it and continued walking forward. Xiaolan flapped its wings provocatively above its head.

Dahuang still ignored him and turned to lie down on the soft cushion in the corridor, squinting his eyes as if he was asleep.

Yan Ruyu didn't care about these. The abbot put down the basket and said, "I brought you flowers and some delicious fruits. I put them down here. Linlang is such a big eater."

Yan Ruyu handed him the box: "Take a look, see if you like it."

The abbot smiled and said, "Well, the Buddhist beads are all the same, how can they..."

When he opened the box and saw the sparkling jade beads inside and a relic in the middle that looked like a bead of fire, the abbot's eyes lit up.

"I like it more than anything else. I like it too much," the abbot said, holding the bead. "This must be a national treasure if you take it out. Is this... suitable for me?"

"Why not?" Yan Ruyu smiled. "Buddhist beads are the most suitable for Buddhists. Don't worry about it. Don't be polite. Just accept it."

The abbot couldn't let it go and smiled widely.

Yan Ruyu asked casually, "What do you want to talk to me about? I didn't finish my conversation just now. I'm here just in time, so let's talk in person."

The abbot choked. How could he say this after taking such fine beads from someone else?

He was very angry when he saw that Dahuang was wearing the agarwood beads he gave to Yan Ruyu around his neck.

Now, I've calmed down.

"I am... I..." The abbot thought of something quickly, "I heard that Governor Cao's grandson is going to have a full-month banquet soon. Can I go with him?"

"Of course," Yan Ruyu nodded, "Mrs. Cao must be very happy."

"That's settled, I'll go with you then."

"Okay," Yan Ruyu agreed with a smile without pointing it out.

Just as they were talking happily, Song Ping's voice was heard in the yard. It seemed that Cui Chong had come, and he sounded quite anxious.

Yan Ruyu and the abbot walked out together, and Song Ping walked forward quickly with a serious look on his face.

"Princess, Cui Chong came to report that the old man of the Wu family went to the government office and wanted to sue the prince for murder and murder, and also said..."

Yan Ruyu's smile faded slightly: "What?"

"He also said that you forced the sale and seized his family's property."

Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Occupy the property?"

Cui Chong also came over and bowed, "Princess, it is true. He wrote the petition and was very excited, which attracted many people to watch. If this matter continues, it may be detrimental to you and the prince."

Yan Ruyu was not nervous and asked, "Does he have any evidence?"

"He brought a long package, saying it was evidence, but he also said the evidence would have to be presented after the prince and princess were summoned to the court. He said he didn't want to show it in person because he was afraid..."

Cui Chong paused for the rest of his words, and Yan Ruyu said, "You can go on as you please."

"They said they were afraid that the prince would cheat and refuse to acknowledge me."

Yan Ruyu laughed briefly: "How arrogant! You're not afraid of getting your tongue blown away by the strong wind."

"The prince is out on business and hasn't returned yet. I want to see what evidence he has."

Linlang immediately said, "Master, I will go with you."

Song Ping said, "I will go too."

Before Yan Ruyu could say anything, Jin Ding came back.
