This heavy rain fell all night, washing the entire Chang'an city into an extraordinarily enchanting state.

At this time, Gu Youning of Prince Wen's Mansion had just woken up, and Chu Yu had gone to court and hadn't come back yet. After washing up, he wanted to go to see Jian Yu, but when he opened the door, he saw a few lush green bamboos in the corner of the courtyard, standing in the wind , there are still drops of water on the bamboo leaves, reflecting the sun more elegantly than usual.

This reminded Gu Youning of Mu Yunhan, who liked bamboo and used to live in the bamboo forest. After moving to the Ruyi Bank, he also raised a few strands of green bamboo. It had been a long time since he had been to the Ruyi Bank. Thanks to Mu Yunhan's help.

Just when he was lost in thought, Caixuan came in from the outside, blessed her body and said: "Princess, I have invited the side lady of Xiangge to pay her respects."

"She came early today, not when she came late a few days ago." Gu Youning smiled lightly, turned around and straightened his coat before saying, "Let her in."

Chen Chunrong is wearing a pink lotus-painted dress today, covered with a gauze of the same color, the corners of the skirt sway gracefully with a slight movement.

Gu Youning raised her eyebrows. No matter the workmanship or materials of this dress, it was not from Prince Wen's Mansion. Compared with it, it was bought at a high price from outside. Looking at the two girls who were brought from outside behind her, the clothes on her body were all given by him the day before yesterday. Invitation to Xiangge.

A concubine came to pay his respects so ostentatiously, it seems that his pretense was not in vain during this time, this man is not honest after all.

He chuckled lightly, and drank his tea with his head down.

Chen Chunrong led the girl slowly from the door to Gu Youning, bowed casually, and said with a clever smile: "My concubine pays her respects to the princess."

She had a look of arrogance on her face, and she got up before Gu Youning called out. It's not that she didn't know how to be polite, but she just deliberately embarrassed Gu Youning, because she felt that she shouldn't be as timid as when she first came here , Let Princess Wen feel that she is easy to bully, so she will always pester King Wen, so that King Wen has not rested in the Yaoxiang Pavilion for half a month.

Gu Youning put down the teacup, glanced up at her, and then said with a moody expression: "Sit down, why are you here so early today, don't you need to take care of the child?"

"Concubine Xie" Chen Chunrong blessed her body with some pride, and then sat down firmly on the chair at the lower end with the support of Liu Er beside her, then said: "A few days ago, Qing'er was pestering my concubine and didn't let her I left, so it was late when I came to pay my respects to the princess, but luckily the princess didn’t blame me, so today I brought Qing’er here, and I’m playing in the yard.”

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at Wan Xiu, and said, "Go and take care of it in the yard, don't let the young master be naughty."

"Yes"

Wan Xiufu saluted, then turned and retreated, the rose pink dress on her body was very delicate.

Chen Chunrong observed Gu Youning's face. The clothes on Wanxiu and Liu'er were all rewarded by Princess Wen. Logically speaking, it's fine if she doesn't wear them herself. .

She thought that even if Princess Wen wasn't angry on the surface, at least her face would be ugly, but who knew, Princess Wen's expression seemed to be like she hadn't seen it, which made her feel annoyed.

Gu Youning was too lazy to spend these little thoughts with her, and just sent her away after paying her a visit as usual.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said a few words, there was a lot of noise outside, with children crying and women screaming.

"Qing'er!!!"

Chen Chunrong immediately stood up.

"What's going on?" Gu Youning also frowned and stood up, leading Caixuan and the others out to have a look, and Chen Chunrong naturally followed behind.

As soon as he went out, he saw Wanxiu fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment, while Xu Qing was crying loudly, beside the fierce Jianyu and several guards who were protecting Jianyu.

It turned out that Jianyu got up in the morning and wanted to play with Gu Youning. Caiyue knew that Chen Chunrong was in the house, so she coaxed him with a box of pastries and asked him to wait a while before going in. When Xu Qing saw it, she quarreled and wanted to eat pastries too. , Caiyue responded, then turned around and went to get it for him, but Wanxiu couldn't wait, and directly reached out to grab the box in Jianyu's hand.

Jian Yu is now considered a tyrant in Prince Wen's Mansion, even Gu Youning was scratched when he snatched his things, let alone Wan Xiu, who was directly pushed away by Jian Yu, and even had his head smashed into a pastry.

Wan Xiu became angry and reached out to hit Jianyu.

In fact, she recognized Jianyu, because Chen Chunrong told her that this young man is the dowry of Princess Wen, and it is likely to be the prince's mate. So what about Tongfang, even if she is only a male concubine when she is brought in, in her heart, even the favored Princess Wen is no bigger than an heir.

But as soon as she stretched out her hand, before she could get close to Jian Yu, she was swung away by the hidden guards from the sky, and she fell to the ground screaming, Xu Qing was also frightened and cried.

"What's going on here, why are you crying so hard?" Chen Chunrong held up her skirt and ran over to hug Xu Qing, and looked at a group of black-clothed dark guards with stern faces with some trepidation.

"It's all him!!!" Wan Xiu hurriedly got up, knelt on the ground and cried, pointing to Jianyu and crying, "The young master wants to eat cakes, but instead of giving them, he even threw the pastry box at the young master."

Hearing this, several hidden guards collectively rolled their eyes, this girl's ability to open her eyes and tell nonsense is not shallow! ! !

Caixuan and the girls all pursed their lips and laughed lowly. They dared to provoke Jianyu without fear after only a few days. They really didn't want to live.

It's just that Chen Chunrong and Wan Xiu's master and servant didn't notice everyone's thoughts, Chen Chunrong hugged Xu Qing, happy in his heart, it would be great if the boy could take advantage of this incident.

Wan Xiu continued to talk nonsense, and finally walked a few steps to Gu Youning's feet, and said viciously: "He is just a humble servant, he dares to commit crimes, the princess must decide for our young master!"

Gu Youning originally saw that Jianyu was not at a disadvantage, so he didn't express his opinion. He wanted to see what they were going to do, but when he heard Wanxiu say that Jianyu was just a humble servant, his face suddenly sank, and he glanced coldly and knelt down. Wan Xiu, who was at her feet, parted her thin lips slightly for a while: "Slap your mouth!!!!"

When Wan Xiu heard it, she thought that Princess Wen was going to hit Jian Yu, and she was just about to be overjoyed when she suddenly slapped her across the face, which immediately slapped her in the face. It took six strokes before she could react and began to struggle and cry, but was immediately restrained by the two housekeepers and continued to beat her.

In an instant, the sound of palms and mouths filled the yard, and Xu Qing, who was crying, was too frightened to cry anymore. Chen Chunrong felt that the maid she brought in had been beaten, and she was ashamed, so she stepped forward to argue, implying Or is it wrong to say that the rain is wrong.

At this time, a hidden guard stepped forward and whispered what happened just now in Gu Youning's ear. Although the voice was soft, it was enough for Chen Chunrong to hear.

Now Chen Chunrong didn't dare to speak anymore, and hearing Wan Xiu's yelling became more pervasive, Gu Youning's expression was indescribably condensed and terrifying, and he couldn't help turning pale for a while.

But at this time, Jian Yu, who was fierce just now, had never seen such a battle, and looked at Wan Xiu who was crying and screaming, and seemed a little scared.

Gu Youning's expression remained unchanged, and he walked down the stairs in a disdainful manner, passing Wan Xiu who was being beaten, and Chen Chunrong who was holding Xu Qing so frightened that his face turned pale, and walked directly to Jian Yu, pulled him into his arms, and gently comforted him: " I'm not afraid of the rain..."

Jian Yu's eyes were a little at a loss, and he didn't dare to look at Wan Xiu, he just huddled in Gu Youning's arms, but every time Wan Xiu screamed, he trembled in fright.

"It's okay, don't be afraid." Gu Youning covered his ears, turned to Cheng Gui and shouted: "Didn't you see that he was afraid, don't shut up!!!"

"Yes"

Cheng Gui hadn't seen such a ruthless Gu Youning for a long time, so he quickly took orders to have Wan Xiu, who had already been beaten with red and swollen cheeks, gagged and dragged out with a handkerchief, and continued to beat her until the corners of her mouth bled until she stopped.

After hearing the silence outside, Gu Youning looked at Chen Chunrong, and said in a flat tone: "Although Mrs. Side is kind, she pitifully led them in, but these people are too ignorant of the rules. If Mrs. Side has free time, she should teach them well." Fan"

"Yes... the concubine knows"

Although Chen Chunrong was not convinced, she dared not say anything now. All of them belonged to Princess Wen, and King Wen was not at home. Even if she was at home, she might not be able to support her, and she thought that Princess Wen didn't know at first. Wan Xiu was wrong, but she was the one who hit her, obviously she was biased, thinking of this, I felt jealous and hated Gu Youning twice as much.

Gu Youning didn't have time to pay attention to her, so he sent her away, and asked her to drag Wan Xiu back, whose face was covered in blood.
