After Wen Ruxue poured herself a glass of wine, she made a little extra move before pouring for Rong Xun's glass.
However, this little trick of hers was magnified infinitely in Yan Zhihua's eyes.
Seeing Rong Xun pick up the glass in front of him without hesitation and about to take a sip, Yan Zhihua immediately stood up and deliberately stumbled towards Rong Xun.
Seeing this, Rong Xun quickly put the glass on the table. Just at this moment, Yan Zhihua took the opportunity to grab the table. While the two of them were distracted, she switched their glasses.
Then she heaved a sigh of relief. "Your Majesty, it seems that your concubine was attracted by the aroma of the wine and couldn't even walk steadily. Your Majesty must be laughing at me."
Although she said so, there was a provocative look in her eyes as she stared at Wen Ruxue.
"Sister Wen, your little sister won't disturb the two of you anymore. Your concubine will take her leave first."
As she was leaving, Yan Zhihua watched as Wen Ruxue downed the glass of wine in front of her.
Nice move!
Now she could finally leave with peace of mind.
After she walked out of the room, she could hear the voices of the two people inside changing. One was impatient due to the heavy state affairs, and the other was coquettish due to the surging desire.
She shook her head and left the palace without looking back. This was the first time she had come to Rong Xun's territory.
You know, if Wen Ruxue ranked second among the people she hated, then Rong Xun must rank first. There was no reason. She just didn't like them.
If her father hadn't sent her into the palace as a pawn, she wouldn't have become the protagonist of an arranged marriage. Even though she didn't have a clear concept of arranged marriage, it was generally the case.
However, Yan Zhihua didn't know that her act of joining in the fun today had actually become the turning point that indirectly destroyed Wen Ruxue.
...
On the other side, Tang Youyou had already started to prepare the things to be sold the next day, and the three followers beside her were also working hard to learn her skills.
"Your Highness, did you really figure out all these things on your own?" Yi Ran scratched her head, full of doubts.
"Yes. The operation is so complicated. Your Highness is really extraordinary."
Hearing the two of them chatting back and forth, Kang Fuhai coughed softly twice. "Alright, alright. You two should focus on your work and stop getting entangled in these meaningless things. Isn't it good to earn money? This way, we won't have to go hungry in the Cold Palace."
When they were halfway through making these things, Tang Youyou seemed to remember something and quickly rushed to the garden.
She saw that the flower buds in the garden had bloomed, the vegetables they had planted were all ripe, and there were plenty of potatoes.
Potatoes were the most precious things. In the eyes of the old-fashioned people in ancient times, they even thought these things were poisonous and hard to swallow.
But in Tang Youyou's eyes, they were delicious. She hadn't eaten French fries for a long time and really missed them.
She dug out a potato with some effort, put a pot on the stove and started heating the oil.
However, while heating the oil, she also noticed that there was not much oil left. If they continued to live like this simply, they would surely run out of money within a month.
If there was no cooking oil, let alone making delicious food.
The only solution now was to ask Yue Fusheng to speed up and finalize the business in the market.
In this way, they would have nothing to worry about.
Yue Fusheng was completely relieved. Since this was their way out, he was sure to handle it well.
According to Tang Youyou's plan, the two of them discussed for a long time until Granny Xuan showed up. Only then did they quiet down.
"What on earth are you all up to, always disappearing and reappearing like this?"
Tang Youyou immediately forced a smile, and her serious expression disappeared instantly.
"We were just discussing how to cook the food in the future. Well, we can't go hungry in the days to come, right?"
As soon as the topic changed, Granny Xuan seemed to open a floodgate and kept talking non-stop.
"By the way, have you been out of the Cold Palace?"
Yue Fusheng nodded instinctively. Seeing this, Granny Xuan remained expressionless. After a moment, she smiled and said, "Then I've got a hold on you, haven't I?"
Yue Fusheng nodded foolishly again, which made Granny Xuan extremely happy.
"If you leave next time, you must take me with you. I've been locked up in this palace for most of my life. From now on, I must leave here."
It was really pitiful. Many women who married into the royal family ended up spending their whole lives in the harem. So they were both pitiful and tragic.
Tang Youyou nodded. "I promise you, Granny Xuan. But I hope you can keep it a secret."
Granny Xuan knew well what to do and praised repeatedly, "Good. Then I'll go out with you then."
However, upon hearing this, Yue Fusheng frowned. He glanced at Tang Youyou and said helplessly, "Your Majesty the Queen, if you really take one more person, we might not be able to leave at all."
Didn't she know what it meant to take one more person? But since she had promised, she must have a way.
Seeing her determination, Yue Fusheng didn't say anything more.
"Your subordinate will follow your orders."
Then Tang Youyou packed up her things again and was ready to make a big move. So she stepped into the room again.
That night, the lights in her room were on all night, and she stayed up all night.
...
Meanwhile, in the Administrative Hall on the other side.
Wen Ruxue was feeling extremely uncomfortable. Ever since she drank that glass of wine, she felt as if she was being devoured by countless ants. The pain distorted her whole face.
When she looked at Rong Xun, she didn't see a person but her prey.
After her rationality fought against her desire, her desire finally got the upper hand.
Wen Ruxue leaned on Rong Xun's desk and then quickly turned around and sat on his lap. She looked at Rong Xun with a seductive look in her eyes, pouted her lips and was about to kiss him.
The next moment, Rong Xun quickly dodged and then pushed Wen Ruxue away in a hurry, as if avoiding a plague god. Facing her approach, Rong Xun showed nothing but resistance all over his body, and his expression was as if he was facing a great enemy.
"Wen Ruxue, what are you going crazy about this time?"
Even after being warned by Rong Xun, Wen Ruxue was still out of her mind and kept groping for Rong Xun with her hands.
Looking at her series of strange behaviors, Rong Xun just glanced at the things she had brought and then thought of Yan Zhihua just now.
He then understood why Wen Ruxue had become like this.
Thinking of this, Rong Xun looked coldly outside the door and said in a cold voice, "Su Ningde, drag Concubine Wen out and send her back to her palace."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ningde outside rushed in quickly, found a few people and forcibly dragged the lustful Wen Ruxue out.
