Jealousy
After going round and round, the topic returned to its original position, and the smile on Hua Rongrong's face gradually cooled down, and she said angrily: "Shangguan Chen, how many times do you want me to say, I don't, I don't!!!"
Ali and Chunhua on the side could only worry. He wanted to remind the third princess not to mess with the prince.
No one would get anything good from angering the third prince. Maybe she has never seen the prince look like when he is angry. That's why she dares to be so bold and unbridled.
What's more, today is a celebration. If the quarrel outside spreads, it will be truly inappropriate. If it spreads to the emperor's ears, it will be even more unthinkable.
However, how could Ali know whether Hua Rongrong had ever seen this irritable lion get angry?
On the first day she traveled through time, during the wedding night, Hua Rong almost died under his slender fingers.
When she and Shangguan Yu hugged by the lake, Shangguan Chen's slap on her chest almost killed her.
How could she not know that Shangguan Chen, an angry lion, was not easy to mess with!
Just getting along with each other in the past few days, Hua Rongrong gradually felt that Shangguan Chen was not so unreasonable and unreasonable. Sometimes she just wanted to tease this man who was like an iceberg. Whenever she saw Shangguan Chen eating turtles, she would
You will feel a happy feeling in your heart.
What's more, she is the only one who can show no dignity or discipline in front of Shangguan Chen, the "unfavored" third princess.
"Third brother is so cheerful!" A clear voice broke the awkward atmosphere.
Everyone looked back and saw the seventh prince and his maid Ruyan standing behind them.
Hua Rongrong was stunned. She was thinking about Shangguan Yu just now. Why did she appear now? She felt guilty. Thinking of what Shangguan Chen asked her just now, she was a little panicked. She lowered her eyes and did not dare to look directly at the smiling face.
Shangguan Jade.
Ruyan was busy and blessed to pay her respects to the third prince and the third princess.
"Get up!" Shangguan Chen said calmly with a cold look.
Ruyan stood up and cast a sidelong glance at the shy Huarongrong.
His eyes were indifferent, and there seemed to be some hostility in his eyes.
Hua Rongrong turned her head for a moment and glanced at Ru Yan, who was trying to hide it, and felt strange in her heart.
In that era, there was a distinction between high and low, and the distinction between high and low among people was particularly serious.
How dare a maid like Ruyan be so disrespectful to a princess in front of so many people. Last time, she actually called Huarongrong "girl."
Even if she is favored again, she is still just a personal maid of a prince. Even if she is a famous person in front of the emperor, she will not be like this, right?
This Ruyan must be no ordinary maid, Huarongrong thought to herself.
Ali and Chunhua were also busy greeting the Seventh Prince.
Shangguan Yu waved his hand: "No need, since we are outside, there are not so many rules."
At this time, the waiter who was following Shangguan Yu stuck his head out.
"Third Master, I..." The waiter was panting, fearing that Shangguan Chen would blame him: "Seventh Master is here. He knows you are here and said he came up to say hello to you."
Shangguan Chen had already told him when he went upstairs that no one should come up to disturb him.
Jufulou is a well-known restaurant in the capital. All the people who come here are dignitaries, royalty and aristocrats. Those who want to establish relationships with the royal family, if they know that Shangguan Chen is upstairs, they will definitely go upstairs to say hello and flatter them.
of.
Shangguan Chen was used to it, so before going upstairs, he had already told the waiter not to disturb anyone who came.
Today he will book the whole floor of the restaurant, since he doesn't want to be disturbed by those idle people.
Shangguan Chen stretched out his hand and waved it gently twice. Before the waiter could say anything, he motioned for him to step back.
The waiter bent over, as if he had received a pardon, and hurriedly took a few steps back. When he reached the stairs, he turned around and went downstairs.
For a moment, the scene was a little stiff. Although Shangguan Yu always kept a smile on his face, his eyes were cold and there was no smile at all.
The quarrel between the two men's eyes was probably because of Hua Rongrong. Although he didn't say it with his mouth, he knew it in his heart.
Before Hua Rongrong became the third princess, and probably before she had an affair with Shangguan Yu, the two brothers were always polite when they met. Even if there was any unpleasantness, the two of them would hide it and never compete with each other.
"Since seventh brother is here, let's sit together." Shangguan Chen said coldly.
"Thank you, third brother." Shangguan Yu's face was as gentle as jade. He walked a few steps forward and sat beside Shangguan Chen. The corners of his mouth curved in an evil way.
"Sister-in-law is really lucky. The third brother I know has never taken a concubine out of the house to go shopping or go to a restaurant. Now he still rents out the entire restaurant!" As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at the beautiful face with burgundy pupils,
Staring at her face.
Hua Rongrong looked embarrassed, pursed her lips slightly, and smiled awkwardly at Shangguan Yu, not daring to look at Shangguan Yu's face. She hurriedly lowered her head, looking indifferent.
Shangguan Chen usually has a straight face, and everyone has long been used to it.
Unexpectedly, after listening to Shangguan Yu's words, he glanced sideways and took in Hua Rongrong's expression. He turned his eyes with a smile, looked at Ruyan and said: "How can it be compared to Miss Ruyan? The seventh brother has always cherished her.
, regardless of status and class, he dotes on Miss Ruyan even more!"
After saying that, Shangguan Chen turned his head and looked at Ruyan beside him with solemn eyes.
Ruyan was standing aside, with his head lowered and his expression indifferent, not daring to look at the crowd. The arrogance he had just now had long since disappeared.
Shangguan Chen snorted coldly and said, "I heard that the maidservant Ruyan beside my seventh brother is as beautiful as an immortal. I would like to take a good look at her today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he actually stood up. Under the surprised eyes of several people, he walked up to Ruyan, stretched out his hand to lift Ruyan's chin, and stared at Ruyan indifferently with a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Although Ruyan was covered with a thick layer of makeup, it was not difficult to see the awkward expression on her stiff face.
Shangguan Chen's action was completely reflected in the eyes of Hua Rongrong and Shangguan Yu.
"Third brother has never valued beauty. There are so many concubines around who are as beautiful as gods. How come you are interested in a maid today!" Shangguan Yu's expression darkened, and he pursed his lips and said rudely.
For a maid like smoke, Shangguan Yu was so rude and rushed directly into Shangguan Chen. In terms of status, Shangguan Chen was still his third brother, but he was so disdainful.
A maid could make Shangguan Yu so nervous.
No matter how stupid you are, you can imagine their unusual relationship.
Shangguan Chen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shangguan Yu. The afterglow in the corner of his eyes looked at Huarong Rong. He wanted to see what his lover would do if she saw her being so nervous about other women.
Huarongrong's eyes were indifferent and her expression was awkward.
He looked very worried and depressed.
What's more in my heart is not jealousy, but confusion.
She is not stupid. How could she not see the harmony and struggle between two men?
However, one is her husband and the other is the person she likes. Two people are "jealous" over a maid. How can she, the princess, step down?
Although they were doing this for Hua Rongrong, and it was not the first time that the two brothers had argued over Hua Rongrong, it was not the same thing in the eyes of these maids and servants. Besides, they were still eating out today! If it was passed down
Go out, if a scandal like this happens to the royal family, the unlucky ones will be the beautiful ones again.
When I saw this scene in Shangguan Chen's deep pupils, my heart ached and my heart collapsed.
He turned to Shangguan Yu with cold eyes and said nothing.
Shangguan Chen put down his hand, turned around and sat next to Hua Rongrong. His hand couldn't help but reach under the table and held Hua Rongrong's cold hand. Suddenly, Hua Rongrong's stiff expression was stunned, but her heart felt like a refreshing feeling.
Warmth surges into every corner of the body.
Shangguan Chen's move gave Hua Rongrong infinite comfort, and even Hua Rongrong herself felt strange!
Holding Hua Rongrong's hand, Shangguan Chen felt suspicious in his heart. He actually had no intention of arguing with Shangguan Yu anymore for the woman next to him? Seeing the aggrieved Hua Rongrong on the side, he actually made a series of actions
Things you can't even think of.
Seeing Hua Rongrong's aggrieved look, how could his heart be so painful and even take the initiative to comfort him? He was getting weirder and weirder!

The meal hadn't even started yet, but everyone was already full. With all the fuss, even a "Manchu-Han banquet" was being set up and no one had any appetite.
But the food we ordered today was very luxurious, including crystal pork elbows, hibiscus ham slices, braised carp, spicy stir-fried game... In addition to shark's fin soup, there was also bird's nest for dessert.
This is only a small part of the main course. There are more than a dozen dishes of cold cuts before the course.
When Hua Rongrong was in modern times, where had she ever had such a luxurious meal?
Even when the emperor was being treated for smallpox in the palace, everyone in the palace was nervous and insecure, so they never had such a luxurious meal.
Huarong Rong secretly thought that there must be a lot of money in Shangguan Chen's house.
This ancient salary is nothing to a person of his noble status.
If the prince is interested in competing for the throne, he will look down upon the money.
If there were more staff and disciples, I'm afraid that just eating would not be enough.
Therefore, they will try their best to put money in their pockets.
In this dynasty, in most cases, even if the emperor knew it, as long as it was not exposed to others, and as long as it was a legitimate way without tax evasion, the emperor would not stop them from running their own industries, especially in this generation, the emperor
There are only two adult sons, and they are naturally very important to them. How can they care about such trivial matters?
Hua Rongrong also vaguely knew that both Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Chen had dedicated people to manage their private properties. She wondered how much property Shangguan Chen had and how much money he could earn in a month.
