Chapter 60 Preparing a Gift for the Prince
After they left.
The two servants wiped their sweat and said to each other:
"The Crown Prince's concubine seems gentle and good-tempered, but she's not as strong as the maidservant beside her."
"Why should I be afraid of her? A paper tiger, a dumb thing, how can it possibly turn against the sky? Yawn, these two lowly servants are so tough, what are you looking at? I didn't sleep well last night, I'm going to bed now."
"You don't know this, right? That maid was given by the Crown Prince to his concubine. The Crown Prince dotes on his concubine so much, how could he not give her a powerful maid? She probably reports every detail to the Crown Prince."
The servant who said he was going to sleep was really scared: "How can she report when she is mute?"
"All the servants of the prince are literate, so they should be more vigilant. For the sake of that concubine, the prince even showed favor to the older servants in the East Courtyard, who were all kind to him. He embarrassed them and punished them accordingly. Not to mention us little shrimps. If you want to sleep with her, you can sleep with her, but I won't."
"I don't dare to sleep anymore because of what you said. Forget it, for the sake of this copper coin, I won't sleep either."
East Courtyard.
Haitang was already waiting at the door. Seeing Liruanruan coming, she actually bowed and said, "Greetings to the concubine."
Li Ruanruan quickly stepped forward to help her up: "Sister Haitang, get up quickly."
"Your Highness, from now on, just call me Haitang."
Haitang was very serious.
Li Ruanruan then said, "Haitang, the prince asked me to live in the East Courtyard. Where should I live?"
"It's all packed, come with me, Tongfang."
Haitang leads the way holding a lantern.
On the way, I met Shaoyao who was keeping watch. Although Shaoyao no longer glared at Li Runrun, she didn't even look at her, as if she was air and didn't like her.
Li Runrun looked at the peony. Oh, there was another peony.
Shaoyao was close to Ye Shuang, so she must have become Ye Shuang's spy, not to mention that Shaoyao had bullied her repeatedly.
If she wanted to live comfortably in the East Courtyard, she had to find a way to take care of this peony.
Li Runrun withdrew her gaze as if nothing had happened and followed Haitang to the side room next to the prince's bedroom.
The place was very clean, the bedding was new, and there was a light pink bed curtain.
Not to mention other furnishings, this bed alone is much better than Li Runrun's previous broken wooden bed. It's simply like heaven and earth.
Li Runrun couldn't help but go over and touch the bed.
Although it is not as good as the one that the prince sleeps in Zhuyuan, it is smaller and suitable for her to sleep alone, which makes her feel safe.
Li Runrun is very satisfied with this place. Will she live here in the future?
She will probably live here for many years, so this place can be considered her little home.
She was the prince's concubine, so she was considered married to the prince. She was also considered married and had her own little world in her husband's family.
Li Runrun was inexplicably in a good mood. Although the road ahead was extremely difficult, it seemed that there was some hope.
Li Runrun's stomach was rumbling, so Haitang asked Li Bai to bring her food.
It’s not always possible to eat with the prince. It’s already late, and the prince won’t eat so late.
Li Runrun looked at the white rice with two dishes, one vegetarian and one meat, and she was already very satisfied.
Before eating, he asked Li Bai: "Xiao Bai, have you eaten?"
She held out her palm.
Li Bai wrote on her palm: "The maids have a special place to eat. Eat now."
Li Runrun nodded and ate everything without leaving any behind, focusing on not wasting anything.
Also because her father and brother were finally found, and they would get better if they were taken care of properly, she felt less depressed and her appetite naturally improved.
Li Runrun sat in front of the dressing table, looking at her blurry self in the bronze mirror. In fact, she hadn't seen her appearance for a long time.
She looked at herself in the bronze mirror and thought that the prince didn't need to be served every night, maybe just a few times a month.
Most of the time, as a concubine, she can still do her own things and has a lot of free time.
Since you're living in the East Courtyard, you don't have to clean the chamber pot anymore, right?
Li Runrun was so happy. Isn’t this equivalent to getting a new job?
Does she have monthly allowance?
The prince even wants her money. Maybe she has debts outside and her monthly allowance is gone...
But the monthly allowance is given by the Marquis’ wife, so maybe she has it.
Li Runrun put down the new comb. It would be better if there is one, but forget it if there is none.
Anyway, when I was a lowly servant, most of my monthly wages were embezzled by Nanny Song.
She can earn more money herself.
The candlelight in this side room is so bright, much brighter than her small oil lamp.
Li Runrun was very happy when she saw her embroidery basket. The prince even helped her move?
How thoughtful.
Li Runrun hurriedly tried to feel for the private silver hidden in the embroidery basket, but found nothing.
The smile froze on his face. Was it... taken by the prince?
That should be the case. The prince ordered to move, and no one dared to touch her things.
Except the prince.
Okay, just take it. The prince saved my father and brother. This little money is nothing. She said she would give her life to the prince.
What is money? Money is shit. If you lose it, you can earn more.
Li Runrun smiled again and began to embroider the handkerchief she was going to give to the prince.
Before they knew it, it was late at night. Li Bai came in and reminded Li Runrun that it was time to go to bed.
Li Ruanruan rubbed her sore eyes and said, "One more thing. I'll go to sleep after I finish embroidering."
Li Bai lowered her head, and was then surprised by Li Ruanruan's embroidery. What a beautiful green peony.
It's just like a one-to-one reflection of the real scene.
Then Li Bai noticed that there was a pink peony on the back of the handkerchief. The peony was exactly the same, but the colors on both sides were completely different.
Amazing.
Li Bai had never seen the world before, and her mouth was wide open.
She had a lot of questions in her mind but didn't dare to disturb Li Runrun, for fear that she would ruin this exquisite embroidery.
Li Ruanruan finished the last few stitches, her hands were sore, but she finally finished.
She cut the needle and thread, and seeing Li Bai's mouth wide open in shock, she smiled and said, "Want to learn? I'll teach you slowly later."
Li Bai nodded vigorously. Anyone who knows how to embroider would not be able to refuse such exquisite embroidery skills.
Li lay down softly and had a dreamless night.
The next day, she made an appointment with the prince to leave before going out to take care of her father and brother for a day.
Dad also woke up and cried again, and then Li Runrun was comforted by Dad.
Feeling warm in his heart, Li Datian urged Li Runrun to come back and serve the prince before it got dark, telling her not to neglect the family's savior.
Li Runrun thought of the gift she wanted to give to the prince, but she didn't know whether he would like it or not.
So I went back early.
Li Bai was asked to find out what was going on and learned that the prince had returned.
Li Runrun hurried out to greet her.
When Ye Yunchu came back, he saw the little maid walking towards him from afar with a shy look on her face, which formed a beautiful winter scenery. He stopped and looked down at her as she walked to his side.
He squeezed her soft hand.
