I happened to see the girl she bought back, carrying something and walking into the house with her tiring effort. When I saw her, I was excited to put down my things and greet her.

"Your Highness, I thought it was a dream, but I didn't expect you to come."

The little girl looked happy and helped Murong Hui walk into the room.

As she walked, she shouted to the surroundings: "Come and take a look, our palace is down."

The little girl's voice was crisp, and soon attracted the attention of the people in the yard.

Madam An hung up a sign that was suspended for business and hurried over.

"I wish you good luck to Princess Linghui."

Madam An was a man from the palace, so she was very disciplined. After seeing Murong Hui, she hurriedly knelt down and saluted. The two girls she trained also hurriedly knelt down, which showed that the young man standing beside Madam An came.

The boy was very thin, fair-skinned, and a little scholarly between his eyebrows. He could tell at a glance that it was Mr. Chu.

"The Caomin greets Princess Linghui, thank you for your intake."

The boy was obviously stunned just now, and after a little slowing down, he finally realized and hurriedly knelt down.

"Let's just be flat. I just happened to leave the palace to do business today, so I came over to take a look."

Murong Hui hurriedly asked everyone to get up, and then picked up the account book beside her and looked through a few pages.

After reading these pages, I feel quite satisfied. Although the business in the shop is not very good, I can still get through it.

"The business is pretty good, thanks to Madam An."

After closing the account book, Murong Hui looked at Aunt An.

Madam An smiled and said politely: "Your Highness can't praise you like this. This shop is just a life."

She didn't say anything false. Murong Hui had just read the account book and the money she earned was indeed enough for their daily living expenses.

She thought for a while, then untied her money bag from her body, looked at Master Chu and said, "I heard that you still want to continue studying. I support this, so I have prepared these silver for you to study. I wish you a chance to win the Toad Palace as soon as possible."

After saying that, she asked Madam Huang to take the money bag to Young Master Chu. Young Master Chu's hand that took the money bag couldn't help but tremble.

He hurriedly bowed respectfully: "Thank you for your cultivation."

This time I am much more sincere than before.

"Get up, I actually promised that Old Concubine Jing would do my best to help you. I hope you can be worthy of the money I gave you and support you in school, but it is enough for an average family to spend ten years on living expenses."

Seeing his attitude, Murong Hui was quite satisfied. She didn't expect Young Master Chu to repay her in the future. He just hoped that Young Master Chu would have some success, so that she could be worthy of Old Concubine Jing.

"Chu will definitely live up to your highness."

Young Master Chu's eyes were a little red. He had been blunt in the past few years and had long since taken things like love seriously.

But Murong Hui’s support for him recently really made him remember it. The 200 taels of silver are actually not much.

Not to mention putting it in the palace, it was just the cost of an ordinary banquet, but only Murong Hui was willing to give it to him, which made him very grateful. He decided that if he had the ability in the future, he would definitely repay Murong Hui's affection.

"Get up quickly, don't kneel down, you're restrained. I'm just here to see you today."

Seeing that the shop was doing well and Young Master Chu's affairs were resolved, Murong Hui breathed a sigh of relief, chatted with Aunt An for a while, and then left the materials left for these palace maids to make winter clothes for them, and then got off the carriage at Maid Huang's urging.

By the time Murong Hui returned to the palace, it was already noon.

After sitting in the car for a long time, Murong Hui felt a little sore on her shoulders. She rubbed her shoulders before sitting at the dining table, watching the palace maid put plates of dishes on the table.

Murong Hui also ate snacks in the carriage, so she is not very hungry now. She only ate a little, so she went to the study to do her homework.

Qingyue stood aside and served the pen and ink, never saying a word. At first, Murong Hui didn't pay attention, but it was not until she wrote a piece that she found Qingyue was absent-mindedly grinding.

"I can't use so much ink, so I don't have to grind it."

She refused to say what happened to her, so Murong Hui simply didn't ask directly. She knew Qingyue's nature, and if she was really troublesome, she would definitely mention it.

Sure enough, after a quarter of an hour, Qingyue couldn't help but speak, "Your Highness, I have something to tell you."

Her face looked a little ugly, and she was obviously not sure how to speak.

"That's all we can't say?"

He put down the brush in his hand, picked up the tea next to him and took a sip of it, and urged him.

"I discovered that Miss Xu's maid has been very close to Xu Wen's maid in recent days."

She was hesitant and Murong Hui naturally knew what she meant.

Everyone knows that she has a bad relationship with Xu Wen. As her companion, Xu Qing shouldn't be too close to Xu Wen, especially when she whispers and says something she doesn't want people to hear.

"The servants of this Duke's Mansion are like the palace ladies in the palace, and their relationships are mixed. Maybe they just have a better relationship on weekdays."

She didn't think Xu Qing would hook up with Xu Wen and plot against her, Xu Qing had a cautious attitude.

She has always kept her distance from Xu Wen and had no reason to do so.

"These are all the ones that Shaoyao rushed to me."

Qingyue thought about it for a long time before she rushed to Murong Hui, which shows that she had already determined that the matter was true.

She always felt that Xu Qing was very selfish and was not suitable for being friends, so she wanted to remind Murong Hui early in the morning. Now that she encountered such a thing, she naturally thought this way.

The Shaoyao she mentioned was Gao Ziyue's maid. This girl has a quiet temperament and never talks much. If it were what she said...

Murong Hui also felt a slump in her heart, put down the water cup and said to Qingyue: "Go and see if they have ever returned home?"

"I have been paying attention to the movements in Ningcui Palace. Gao Ziyue has not returned today, but Xu Qing has gone home."

After hearing Murong Hui's question, Qingyue couldn't help but feel happy, thinking that Murong Hui believed what she said.

"Let Mama Zhang go to the imperial kitchen to get some ingredients. I will learn to make snacks later."

After thinking for a while, Murong Hui spoke and ordered.

When Qingyue heard this, she responded quickly, poured Murong Hui a cup of tea, and then hurriedly walked out.

Murong Hui read the book in the study for a while. Seeing Qingyue walking in, Murong Hui got up and walked out of the study.

She learned to make some snacks from Mama Zhang, and Murong Hui ordered people to put the snacks in the food box and called people to walk towards Ningcui Palace.

She didn't come to Ningcui Palace often, so when she saw the changes in Ningcui Palace, she couldn't help but be stunned.

The originally bare yard is now full of green. There are many flowers and plants planted in the yard, and grape trellis are built on the left wall. The layout is pretty good, completely gone from its previous lifeless look.

"Your Highness, you are such a rare guest. I happen to be a little bored. Since the palace is down, why not play some pots with me."

Originally, when Xu Qing returned home today, Gao Ziyue was left alone. She didn't know how to play, so Murong Hui came over.

"Golden silk cake and osmanthus rice cake are all made by me personally today. How do you taste it?"

Only after being dragged into the gate of Ningcui Palace did Murong Hui have the opportunity to speak.

Gao Ziyue's eyes lit up. She had always known that Murong Hui had been learning cooking skills, but had never eaten the snacks made by Murong Hui, so she was a little curious.

Murong Hui had just put the snacks on the table, and Gao Ziyue picked up the piece and started eating.

She squinted her eyes and looked enjoyable. She thought the taste was pretty good, so she nodded with satisfaction.

"Your Highness is out of the palace today?"

Gao Ziyue didn't want to leave the palace by herself, and it was meaningless to leave the palace, so she just kept it here.

Murong Hui didn't know what she meant, so she nodded and asked, "What's wrong, what do you want to ask?"

"It's nothing, I just heard that you left the palace and thought you were going to stay in the palace all day today.

Gao Ziyue has always said whatever she said. She would not lie at all, and her face turned a little red.

"To be honest, otherwise how can you help you?"

Seeing her like this, Murong Hui simply asked, and she found that no matter who is around her, she was so unhappy to her today, which made her feel a little bored.

"I have always seen Xu Qing and Xu Wen in the past two days. Their relationship is not very good."

Gao Ziyue glanced at Qingyue and then started to speak in a low voice.

"What do they all say?"

Murong Hui picked up a piece of dessert, took a few bites before asking indifferently.

"I don't know, and I asked her, she always vaguely and refused to tell me the truth."

Gao Ziyue looked confused, and she couldn't figure it out, so she told Murong Hui about it.

"Wait until tomorrow, I'll ask her myself."

After a moment of silence, Murong Hui still took a trace of expectation in her heart. Xu Qing did not do anything bad for her.

When Gao Ziyue heard this, she simply stopped mentioning this matter and quickly changed the topic and talked about something else.

Murong Hui stayed in Ningcui Palace for half an hour, then got up and left, and went to the library to read books.

It’s just that Xu Qing’s incident has always lingered in Murong Hui’s heart, making her a little absent-minded.

The next day, it was noon, and Murong Hui called Gao Ziyue and Xu Qing and walked back together. On the way, she was naturally preparing to ask about the reason why Xu Qing and Xu Wen were interacting.

"Your Highness wants to ask why I have a close relationship with my cousin recently."

Seeing that Murong Hui had never spoken, Xu Qing had guessed it long ago, so she hurriedly spoke.

"I'm just a little curious. If you don't want to say it, then forget it."

Murong Hui looked up at Xu Qing and found that Xu Qing's expression was normal and she didn't look guilty at all. Therefore, she couldn't help but believe her and it would not be detrimental to her.

"When I arrive at Ningcui Palace, my daughter will tell Your Highness about this. I just hope that Your Highness...forget it. Even if you don't tell me, Xu Wen will not keep the secret for me."

Sighing, Xu Qing said helplessly.

Judging from her expression, it is obvious that there is something unspeakable in her heart.

Murong Hui immediately realized that Xu Qing was not getting the handle, so that she could have such close contact.

"What did she ask you to do?"

After a moment of silence, Murong Hui asked.
