Shen Ning was completely speechless.
She thought for a moment and said, "Okay, as long as you do one thing for me, I will paint it for you tonight."
"As long as the eldest lady orders me, I will definitely do it no matter what." Xiao Ru clapped her hands happily.
"Come here."
Shen Ning called Xiao Ru over and whispered a few instructions in her ear. Xiao Ru nodded repeatedly.
While having dinner, Shen Ning raised her eyes and glanced at Chuntao and Xia He.
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. No matter what you are mumbling about."
She had already noticed that the expressions of the two maids were different from usual, a little excited, a little nervous, and a little gloating.
"Yes, princess."
The two maids couldn't bear it for a long time. After hearing what Shen Ning said, they immediately started chirping like they were pouring beans through a bamboo tube.
"After the prince left the morning court, he went straight to the Zuihua Pavilion of the concubine Shen."
"It is said that the prince seems to be angry. His face is not his face, and his nose is not his nose."
"As soon as the prince entered Zuihua Pavilion, he lost his temper at his concubine, Mrs. Shen."
"I heard that the prince had a bad stomach during breakfast. As a result, he made a big ugly appearance in the court during the morning."
Shen Ning couldn't help but interjected and asked, "Oh, what kind of ugliness happened?"
She raised her eyebrows with interest on her face.
The two maids covered their mouths and just giggled, pushing and shoving each other so that no one was embarrassed to say anything.
"Back to the princess, my servant heard from Xiao Anzi, the attendant of the prince, that it seemed that the prince had been letting out gas since he left the house. The smell was very strange. Xiao Anzi did not dare to say it, so he endured it all the way until the prince came out of the house. On the way back to the palace, he kept getting angry..." Xia He looked strange and laughed while talking.
"My servant also heard that the concubine Shen had been upset all morning. The smell in the room was very bad. The prince staggered as soon as he entered the room. Shen even lit several incense sticks and couldn't cover it up. The smell made the prince so angry that he turned around and left, saying that he would never have breakfast at Zuihua Pavilion again," Chuntao added with a smile.
These two maids were originally from Prince Dingyuan's palace, but since they followed Shen Ning, they have grown more and more respectful to her, while at the same time they looked down upon Prince Chu Shaoyang.
He doesn't want to see such a good person as the princess, which is really short-sighted.
So when they heard the news that Chu Shaoyang and Shen Biyun were unlucky enough to make a fool of themselves, both of them were gloating in the mood of watching a good show.
Xiao Ru smiled from ear to ear and kept asking the two for details. When they talked about the happy part, the three of them laughed loudly together.
Shen Ning didn't stop and just looked at them with a smile.
She was in a great mood, and the dinner was particularly delicious. She felt that the cooking skills of Chuntao and Xia He were no worse than those of the cooks in Taihe Building.
"Miss, although you don't say it, I know that what happened to the prince and the second lady this time must be you, right?"
After all, Xiao Ru and Shen Ning grew up together. She couldn't help but ask while Shen Ning was taking her out for a walk to eat.
Shen Ning didn't hide it and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I did it."
After saying that, she scraped the tip of Xiao Ru's nose approvingly and said with a smile: "I can't tell, you've grown a lot recently, I even guessed this."
Xiaoru stuck out her tongue in embarrassment: "Miss, please stop teasing me. I can't guess what you did. I just saw that you suddenly wanted to eat horseshoe cake, so I thought there was something weird in it. I have been with you for more than ten years, and you have never eaten water chestnut cake before."
