A few days after Liu Ru and Ji Li passed, everyone in the capital was discussing how successful Liu Ru and Ji Li were. Liu Ru's parents were not very educated, and they were very straightforward in dealing with people and things, and many people envied them.

Some people pierce villains behind their backs, no wonder Liu Ru is so good.

Just five days later, the wind suddenly changed.

It's just because the prince favored a court lady.

Whether this matter is big or small.

The current crown prince is seventeen years old. It stands to reason that it is not normal to not have a woman by his side.

In the past, there were many rumors that the prince had taken a fancy to Liu Ru.

I thought that on the day of Liu Ruji's ceremony, the crown prince would be there with a high profile, but no one showed up. It happened only a few days ago, and suddenly many people saw hope.

It seems impossible to meet the prince by chance in the palace, only outside the palace.

Every day, there are many people on the street and guarding the gate of the palace, just to pass the news as soon as possible when they see the prince, so as to create opportunities for their young lady.

The former ministers thought that there was no hope, but when they heard this, they started to get busy one by one.

Their status is not as high as that of Liu Sanqiang. Over the years, with the five princes, Ye Qingfeng, Xie Laogen, and Ling Feng stationed at the border, Liu Sanqiang's military power has gradually been dispersed.

Liu Sanqiang didn't have much real power, and relying on his reputation, if it weren't for Dong Yue's prestige in the capital, no one would have paid attention to Liu Sanqiang.

At this time, everyone became active, even if they couldn't be the princess, they could change their fate if they could get close to the prince.

Liu Mansion.

Dong Yue and Liu Ru ate snacks and drank tea, and were talking about Shiweizhai. Zuo Qing ran in from outside in a panic, and stopped when he saw Liu Ru.

"What's the matter?" He was in a hurry, as if his eyebrows were on fire.

Zuo Qing glanced at the young lady, she dared not speak.

"Speak!" Dong Yue wanted to know what could make Zuo Qing so cautious.

Zuo Qing thought for a while, the young lady would know sooner or later, so she simply said, "I heard that the crown prince favored a court lady."

"Miss, are you sure it's a maid, not a lady from some family?" Dong Yue asked.

Zuo Qing was stunned, what does Madam mean?

Look at the young lady who is still drinking tea and can't see the emotion. Could it be that she is mad with anger?

It doesn't feel like it again.

Puzzled in my heart, I repeated what I just said, "I heard it's a palace maid."

Dong Yue looked at her daughter, "Ru'er, have you heard about this?"

Liu Ru shook his head, "I don't know."

Dong Yue asked Zuo Qing, "How did you know that?"

Seeing that Madam and Miss were not angry, Zuo Qing became more courageous, "That's what people outside say."

After Dong Yue heard it, she looked at her daughter, "Let's go, shall we go and have a look?"

In this way, Dong Yue and Liu Ru came to the downtown area of ​​the capital together, and first went to Aunt Huang's fried dough sticks shop to eat free fried dough sticks.

Now that Aunt Huang is old, she hands over the shop to her grandson Huang Dabao.

Now Huang Dabao has no intention of being with a normal person, running the business of the shop every day, seeing Dong Yue coming, after a few years, Huang Dabao recognized Dong Yue at a glance, and grinned excitedly.

The current Huang Dabao no longer calls his elder sister as he did when he was a child, but instead calls him 'Mrs. Dong' like everyone else.

In this way, Dong Yue took Liu Ru and two maids for a meal.

After leaving, Zuo Qing sighed for a while, "Madam, Huang Dabao is much better than Aunt Huang." The things Aunt Huang did back then were too unremarkable, but Madam was kind-hearted and willing to treat Huang Dabao again and put it on others. Dabao died long ago.

Dong Yue smiled at this and said nothing.

He took Liu Ru to his Ruyi Building for tea.

Ruyilou is a tea specially given to ordinary people in the capital.

Many farmers sell their own food, and they will come here to drink a cup of tea to reward themselves.

The tea here itself is not expensive, and the farmers can afford to drink it. The business here has always been very good.

Dong Yue took her daughter and found a seat to sit down.

The appearance of the four of them is too eye-catching here, but Dong Yue's gestures are all casual. Others think they are women with a little family background, so they don't think much about it.

Seeing Dong Yue's arrival, the shopkeeper blinked his eyes a few times to make sure he read it correctly, and hurriedly dismissed the waiter and brought the tea over in person.

"Ma'am, are you here?"

"Yeah." Dong Yue didn't think it was strange that someone recognized her. She glanced at the other person, and saw that the tea made in Huangshan Village was brewed. She took a sip, and it really tasted familiar.

"This tea is excellent."

"This year's Huangshan tea harvest is bumper, and a lot of it is sent here today. Madam, do you want to bring some back to taste?"

"good."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he stopped bothering and prepared the tea to be taken away later.

Dong Yue took her daughter to drink tea, without saying a word, many people around began to pay attention to them, after a long time, they found it boring, and talked about the necessary topics in the capital now.

The prince dotes on the maid of honor.

This is a major event in the capital.

Everyone said everything, some people said that the prince likes men.

Some people say that the prince's beloved died, and that's why he hasn't been close to women all these years. Finally, he thought about it, and everyone was happy for the prince.

Dong Yue and Liu Ru finished a pot of tea, heard everything they needed to hear, got up and left.

The shopkeeper delivered the tea to the door in person.

After leaving the teahouse, Liu Ru said, "Mother, is this our shop?"

"It's your father's."

"Father?" That wood has such a brain.

"Your father is still capable!" Dong Yue said, preparing to leave with her daughter and go to the next stop, when a carriage was approaching, a young man got off the carriage, and after getting off the carriage, the young man spoke to the carriage, "Mom, it's here."

Ruyi Building is usually a place where ordinary farmers come to drink tea. Suddenly a carriage came, and it was still rushing to this place. She was a little curious.

Seeing that he was wearing a brocade suit, he could be seen as a person of status.

Thinking, Dong Yue saw a lady getting off the carriage.

Dong Yue began to feel familiar, and after a few more glances, she discovered that it was her former neighbor, Widow Xu!

Looking at the young man again, he looked a bit like a widow Xu, and he was sure that this person was her son Xu Tian.

Widow Xu was stunned when she saw Dong Yue, and then saw that this person recognized her. They had almost no intersection, except for Dong Yue's visit when she was a neighbor in the capital.

They saw smiles in each other's eyes.

Widow Xu said, "Miss Dong!"

"Mrs. Xu!" Dong Yue pulled Liu Ru and introduced, "Ru'er, do you still remember that when we first came to the capital, this Mrs. Xu lived next door to us?"

After being reminded, Liu Ru also remembered that there was such a person, and hurriedly saluted, "Hello, Mrs. Xu!"

"Ru'er has grown into a big girl." Mrs. Xu looked at Liu Ru with kindness in her eyes.

It seems that she didn't use her own strength to let the woman gain a firm foothold. Not only did she do this, but she also successfully protected her son.

Liu Ru smiled and said nothing.

Dong Yue looked at Xu Tian, ​​"This is your son, right?"

"Tian'er, are you still calling me?"

Xu Tian had been looking at Liu Ru just now, and was pushed by his mother before realizing it, and saluted with fists together, "Ms. Dong, Miss Liu."

The two exchanged a few words at the door, and soon, Dong Yue took Liu Ru away. Widow Xu walked into the teahouse, saw her son who was still in a daze, and pushed her away, "Don't think about it."

"Mother, that's the little girl who lives next door to us when I was young."

Mrs. Xu saw that her son finally met someone he liked, and thinking of his identity, they couldn't get ahead of him, so she said, "Do you know the Jiji ceremony that caused a sensation in the capital not long ago?"

Xu Tian finally reacted.

Thinking of the rumors I heard, and looking at myself, it seems that there is really no chance.

Seeing Niang walking into Ruyi Building, he frequently looked in the direction Liu Ru left.
