Chapter 201: Preconceived
I smiled slightly, "Fortunately, I'm back." You must be tired from running around these days, so rest and go. β
Ruyi looked up his face, the tears on his face were reflected by the lantern under the corridor of the hall, which was very obvious, and he choked up: "Yes." β
Because many of the chamberlains were brought into Yude Palace from King Xiao's Mansion, Ruyi's original ability to be well-connected and informed, in King Xiao's Mansion, also remained. Since she came back, Huiyin Hall has received a lot of news:
For example, Emperor Wei once sat in the Hanzhang Hall of her old residence after Concubine Ding left.
Another example is that Yao Huatang recently went in and out and put on a mutton fat jade mask. Not only can it cover the terrible scar, but it also adds a mysterious and romantic meaning. It was much easier for him to socialize with others. It's just that the original partner of the five princes, Zheng, died suddenly, and the Xie family has held a wedding for Xie Anruo and the five princes. The Turkic cavalry of the five princes slaughtered and killed, and then went down to Xinye, Fangling and Shangyong, and approached Kyoto. After that, Yao Huatang's whole person became sharp and unruly.
When I heard the news from Ruyi, the pen in my hand couldn't help but pause, leaving an ink spot on the paper.
Zheng died suddenly?
The Fifth Prince and the Xie family now have to borrow from each other, and marriage will undoubtedly be the best and fastest way to form an alliance. Zheng's death always makes people want to speculate whether the truth is really the case. But no matter what the truth is, it's chilling!
I looked down at the paper on the bookcase, and it was useless. He put down his pen and reached out to lift the paper, crumpled it into a ball and threw it on the ground. The thrown ball of paper knocked out the discarded balls of paper on the ground, and stopped at the end of a pair of embroidered shoes with roses and silver peonies.
The owner of the embroidered shoes spoke: "My sister is so interested. βIt's Ruan Liangdi.
I smiled. Cui Nong and Ruyi beside him went to bring a gold-inlaid moire circle chair and invited Ruan Liangdi to sit down.
I cleaned my hands in the water brought by Yinghong, and said to Ruan Liangdi, "Why did my sister come?"
There is a little expectation in my heart - maybe Sheng Yao wants her to come?
However, Ruan Liangdi said, "What, my sister can't come?" She motioned for the maids to retreat, looked me up and down for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Since you fled to your beloved, why did you come back?"
I looked up at Ruan Liangdi in surprise, pondered for a moment, and said, "Sister, but Xiaoguan doesn't understand." If my sister is not angry that His Royal Highness Xiaoguan was with her day and night a few days ago, so she wants Xiaoguan to admit what she wants to add, she may wish to say it clearly. β
Ruan Liangdi was stunned for a moment, and immediately sneered: "Qu Xiaoguan, why are you so ignorant, I came to see you behind His Highness's back." Do I Ruan Shuo be able to commit it? You are all claustrophobic in the Huiyin Palace, where do you need me to do anything more!"
I originally suspected that she had always been an enemy and friend to me because of her deep affection for Sheng Yao, but at this time I had the intention of deliberately trying to ridicule her. But at this time, listening to her meaning, I was too careful. stopped making a sound for a while, only took a sip of the hot tea, and raised his hand slightly with his palm upward, signaling her to use the tea.
Ruan Liangdi exhaled, still angry: "You are really!" The delicate eyes rolled around me a few times, and the mouth softened, and said, "How do you lose weight like this?"
I lowered my head, smiled, and didn't make a sound.
"Okay, okay, I shouldn't have spoken to provoke you, it's mine. Originally, I wanted to take advantage of His Royal Highness's absence in Yude Palace to secretly see how you were. But it still makes you unhappy, I knew I wouldn't come. β
Ruan Liangdi picked up the teacup, lifted the lid and skimmed the tea leaves, but she didn't drink it and put it down, and said: "I said Qu Xiaoguan, what do you mean? That day in the Wei Palace, I obviously heard you say to Princess Wei that His Royal Highness is not your beloved! Now I just want to mention it, why did you react so much? Even if you flee the East Palace for love, I will not look down on you. Who are you going to show your face at this time?"
These days, I have long been reluctant to open my mouth to speak, but now I was provoked by Ruan Shuoren's words, but I blurted out, "You are talking nonsense, when did I say such a thing in Shuangcheng?"
I paused suddenly, and that day Shuangcheng said, "It's really a blessing to be able to marry your beloved." Isn't my sister the same?", and how did you answer at the time?
Because I felt that I was included in the house by Shengyao, I was not "married", so what I said at the time was - "I am different from Shuangcheng." β
But Ruan Liangdi thought that I meant to say that Sheng Yao was not my beloved!
I shook my head slowly and sneered.
Ruan Liangdi walked over, sighed, and said, "What do you think? What can we do to help you in your current situation? You have been missing for a few days, and Your Highness and we have been worried for a few days. Later, I found out that you were picked up from the Wei Wang's Mansion. His Highness is still angry. Even because of his anger at the Wei Wangfu, even his father and the emperor ordered the Wei Wang to be imprisoned and besieged because of the rebellion of the Wei Wangfu, and His Royal Highness didn't care. β
Shuangcheng β
didn't expect that she had just become Princess Wei as she wished, and she didn't enjoy the honor for a day, so because the Lin family of Queen Wei's mother rebelled, she followed King Wei to become a prisoner.
Now I'm in solitary confinement.
The two of us are really in trouble.
I straightened my dress, bowed solemnly to Ruan Liangdi, and said earnestly: "Sister, what Xiaoguan said that day really meant that Shuangcheng was Princess Wei and married to King Wei, and I only entered the palace for concubines, not to marry His Royal Highness, so I am different from Princess Wei." As for how many days I've been missing, it's not what Your Highness thinks, it's just a misunderstanding. I also ask my sister to argue for Shuangcheng and King Wei, don't let His Highness make things worse for them because of me!"
Ruan Liangdi bowed, "I see, but I misunderstood." Since you and Your Highness are just misunderstandings, why don't you solve them as soon as possible?"
I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Xiaoguan has naturally explained, but His Royal Highness has a preconceived idea and already has a knot in his heart." Whatever I may explain, he just doesn't believe it. I can't think about it anymore. β
I paused, looked at the six or seven paper balls on the ground, and said, "For example, I want to write a letter to him, but I am not satisfied with it! I just feel that if he believes me, where does he need me to explain again and again! Could it be that after getting along for so long, he is not as suspicious as he is in the past?"
These grievances have been accumulating and fermenting in my heart, and when I say it today, my heart is stirring. For a while, he was physically and mentally exhausted, and bowed to Ruan Liangdi, "Sister atonements, Xiaoguan will not accompany me." I also asked my sister to go to the toilet. β
I walked towards the inner chamber with messy steps, and as I was about to turn around, tears welled up in my eyes.
I stretched out my hand to wipe away my tears: no, I don't want to weep in front of people, so that people will look at this weak and useless appearance. Fortunately, I resigned from Ruan Liangdi in time! If she is allowed to see it, how can I save my face?
Ruan Liangdi's voice came from behind him: "Xiaoguan, do you know that His Royal Highness is about to marry the sixth lady of the martial family?"
