Chapter 99: Not as good as Ruanruan
She did not lower her voice this time, and Ye Yunchu also glanced at her.
Then he pressed her head into his arms and asked, "Don't you like Miss Xu?"
How could she like him? Xu Wan simply couldn't tolerate her. She had already made things difficult for her twice before they even got married. She didn't dare to imagine what her life would be like after Xu Wan got married.
She had also heard some of the secrets of the harem and knew that it was very easy for the mistress to torture a concubine. She only needed to call her over every day and set rules. Even if the concubine did nothing wrong, she would be under great psychological pressure, and if she did something wrong, she would be taught a lesson.
Even concubines were so sad, let alone her, a maid. What's more, Xu Wan's status was so noble, while she was too humble.
How could she compete with Xu Wan?
Doesn't the prince know anything about this? He's in the mansion every day, and he'll be even busier when he goes to court tomorrow.
He couldn't possibly be with her all the time, so how could he protect her?
Can’t the prince find someone with a truly good temper?
Li Ruanruan was silent for a while, not daring to say she didn't like him. She only whispered, "I heard that Court Judge Chen's daughter is even more beautiful than Miss Xu."
She had already inquired with Ye Qiaoqiao. Chen Jiaojiao had congenital deficiencies, was extremely beautiful, but had a quiet and aloof personality. Due to her health, she had never liked the crowds. She had learned medical skills from her father since she was a child. She would see patients at Mingyitang for three days every month, only accepting female patients. The consultation fee was arbitrary, and if she saw a seriously ill and poor family, she would give medicine for free.
Li Runrun felt that she would not be a bad person. Although she knew that it was not a good idea to take advantage of others, she thought that the prince was a very good person and would not treat Chen Jiaojiao harshly.
If Chen Jiaojiao is the prince’s wife.
The legal wife doesn't like fighting and is focused on resting, and she will respect her. Li Runrun doesn't plan to have children, so she won't be a threat to Chen Jiaojiao.
As long as she can tolerate herself, Li Runrun will be very sensible.
After all, what Li Runrun wants is not wealth and glory, nor the favor of the prince. She just wants a stable life for the rest of her life.
Even if she became a maid in the future and was thrown into a corner by the prince, as long as she had a vegetable garden and enough food for three meals a day, she would be content.
When Ye Yunchu heard what the concubine said, he laughed jokingly and said, "Are you also a beauty lover?"
Li Ruanruan raised her head: "Don't you love me, my lord? Have you ever met the daughter of Chen Yuanpan?"
"Oh, I have seen it before."
"How does it compare to Miss Xu?"
"She is indeed more beautiful than Miss Xu."
Li Runrun's eyes lit up. This seemed like a promising opportunity. She was just about to strike while the iron was hot.
Ye Yunchu lowered his head and looked at her: "But he can't defeat me by half."
Li Ruanruan was startled when she heard this, then her face suddenly turned red and she said quickly, "How can I compare to that?"
"How can it be compared?"
He kissed her again.
Li Ruanruan struggled to catch her breath before she said, "Your Highness, you can compare more often, but don't be hasty in getting married."
Ye Yunchu chased Li softly and kissed her. He stroked her face and said softly, "Hmm."
Li Runrun was originally stiff and frightened, but when she heard his voice, she softened completely and almost turned into a puddle of water.
Li Runrun stayed in the mansion to recuperate from her injuries for several days and also listened to what Ye Qiaoqiao said.
Nanny Wang was not dead, and the Marquis' wife still gave face to the Crown Prince and sent her to a farm in the countryside, this time even farther away.
The embroiderers are now able to take on jobs. The shop’s orders are now scheduled until after the New Year, so it is temporarily closed to external orders, which has once again fueled the popularity of Suzhou embroidery.
There are also imitators' shops that use the name of Suzhou embroidery. The samples look like that because they buy Suzhou embroidery from their shops.
Despite its reputation, it received many orders. Although the finished products were innovative and exquisite, they were still slightly inferior in terms of three-dimensionality and light and shadow color differences. As a result, the final embroidery was obviously different from Suzhou embroidery.
Ye Qiaoqiao also gossiped that the shop that was smashed must have been done by people sent by her elder brother, and asked Li Runrun to hint at it.
Li Ruanruan didn't ask about this, but instead mentioned it to the prince. He said that such a good embroiderer couldn't be let go. If she became part of their shop, they would be able to open branches very soon.
It would be better if the prince were to handle this matter.
The prince praised her constantly and tortured her. Because of the injuries on her knees and shoulders, she could only lie on her side when he held her in his arms.
This is too heavy and too deep.
Li Ruanruan was completely defenseless.
She hoped that her injury would heal faster than the Crown Prince did, otherwise she was afraid that if it happened a few more times, her heart would not be able to bear the shock and she would die in the Crown Prince's hands.
As soon as she was able to walk, she couldn't sit still.
She wanted to meet Miss Chen in person.
He had just taken two steps when Ye Qiaoqiao stopped him: "Why don't you take good care of yourself? It's so cold, where are you going? You've been looking thin lately, so I brought some soup to nourish you."
Ye Qiaoqiao picked up the lunch box.
"I've eaten, and I really can't eat any more."
"But this venison soup is hard to come by. The Marquis had my mother use a secret recipe to make it for him to nourish his body. I brought it specially for you."
Li Ruanruan knew it was good stuff as soon as she heard it, but she touched her stomach and said, "I really can't eat any more. Otherwise, I'll save it for the prince."
"Big brother, how could you be interested in this? I'm afraid you might think it tastes bad. So, if you drink one bowl, it won't be in vain."
Li Ruanruan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's drink a bowl together and send it to my father and brother, okay?"
"Okay, but I won't drink it anymore. I drank a bowl yesterday and had a nosebleed in the middle of the night. My mother said I'm already very healthy and shouldn't take supplements randomly."
"ah?"
Li Ruanruan was a little scared: "Then I won't have a nosebleed, right?"
"How could that be? Look at how weak you are. There are dark circles under your eyes."
Li Runrun didn't dare to say anything and said that she had indeed been indulging herself too much recently.
It is indeed possible to make up for it.
She drank a bowl and was not used to it, but Aunt Zhang was a good cook and it was not difficult to drink.
After Li Ruanruan finished drinking, he divided the drink into two food boxes.
Sent to Zhuyuan.
It was noon now. Dad had finished his work in the kitchen and was cleaning the house.
After all, the prince is giving them temporary accommodation, so Li Da must be careful not to let the prince make the place dirty.
Li Ruanruan shouted, "Dad."
Mr. Li was delighted and hurried out to greet her. He was about to kowtow to Ye Qiaoqiao and said, "Greetings, Second Miss."
Cui Er supported him and said, "Hurry up and get up. You don't have to bow when you see the Second Young Lady. I've told you several times."
Li Da smiled innocently, scratched his face, invited them in again, and then took a clean towel to wipe the chair.
Li Runrun saw that her father had regained some energy and vitality. She felt that his hair was not as white as before and he did not look so old anymore.
It seems that thanks to the care of the prince, I am having a good time helping in the kitchen.
Li Ruanruan put down the food box and didn't tell Li Da that it was good food, fearing that he would be reluctant to eat it. She just said, "Dad, I made some soup. It's cold, it's for you and your brother to warm up."
