Chapter 28: Confession

With Yun Rui here, the atmosphere in the hall seemed to have eased a lot. Empress Dowager Duan's face reappeared with a loving smile, and Jing Yan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that there were a few of his favorite sweets in the banquet.

The people who served saw Yun Rui sitting among the two most noble women in the harem, gulping down the dishes of the two people, and the clear children's voice echoed in their ears from time to time to answer the questions of the two people, and they all secretly sighed: It is a loss to have His Royal Highness Rui.

"Ah Rui taste this ......" Empress Dowager Duan took a chopstick and put it in Yun Rui's plate.

Yu Jue watched Empress Dowager Duan's every move, and couldn't help but be amazed in her heart-

The master, who has always been happy and clean, actually took the initiative to give food to others? Since His Royal Highness Rui entered the palace, as long as the master eats with His Royal Highness Rui, it will be like this...... Enthusiastic? Even when His Majesty was young, I didn't see my master so motherly!

Yun Rui has always been very pious about food, especially for children who are growing up, their belly is like a bottomless pit, and they always have a different kind of intimacy with food. What's more, the food made by this imperial chef is delicious.

Although Yun Rui ate happily and heard Empress Dowager Duan's words, he didn't forget to raise his head from the food plate and smiled sweetly at Empress Dowager Duan: "Thank you, Queen Mother!" ”

When Empress Dowager Duan heard this, she deliberately put on a straight face, "If you are so polite to the queen mother again, the queen mother will be angry!" ”

Yun Rui grinned, no longer polite, and continued to deal with the many "delicious foods" in front of him.

Jing Yan saw this interaction between the old and the young, and her heart was sour, but she was really ...... Arrow's eating appearance Some can't stand it-

The kid was very interested in eating. However, as the king of a country, the etiquette that should be there cannot be ignored.

She was thinking about whether to add a "etiquette" to Yun Rui's homework, when she saw Empress Dowager Duan caressing Yun Rui's hair.

"What kind of homework does Arrow like, Master?"

Yun Rui paused, thought about it, and said disappointedly: "I like Master Duan to be my master, but ...... He said he was too old to afford ......"

As she spoke, she flattened her mouth in disappointment.

Empress Dowager Duan sighed: "Lord Duan's knowledge is excellent, but, after all, age is not forgiving!" ”

Yun Rui suddenly thought of something: "Queen Mother, what kind of official is Shangshu's left servant?" Is it big? ”

Empress Dowager Duan chuckled: "Naturally, he is a very big official, which is equivalent to the prime minister of my Great Zhou." ”

Equivalent...... Yun Rui secretly chewed these three words.

As the saying goes, "there is no end to learning", the official position of the Great Zhou, and the qiē of the Great Zhou, all of which she studied. She also wanted to learn a lot in her heart, didn't the sage say "learn and know"? If you don't learn, how can you understand the Tao?

She suddenly recalled Duan Yan's previous entrustment, and hurriedly said: "Lord Duan said that he wants me to tell my mother and sister-in-law that tomorrow is a big matter, and there are many matters, he has to say goodbye without saying goodbye, please forgive me." ”

Empress Dowager Duan thought about it for a while, and then it became clear: Duan Yan had only heard of Ah Rui's name before, and everything had his own arrangements. Now that I've met Arrow, it's natural that my previous plans will change. He asked Yun Rui to tell himself like this, instead of directly asking the palace maid to reply, obviously to show his attention to Ah Rui, the prince. Not to mention tomorrow......

She felt a pain in her heart, and she couldn't help but show a painful look on her face.

"Queen." Empress Dowager Duan slowly turned to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan hurriedly stopped and said, "Yes, Queen Mother." ”

"Tomorrow...... Tomorrow is the emperor...... The day of the funeral ......" Empress Dowager Duan took a deep breath and stabilized her feelings, "You have to prepare for life." ”

Jing Yan is also a great mourner. Reluctantly holding her mind, she pursed her lips and said, "Yes, please rest assured." ”

Empress Dowager Duan sighed: "Tomorrow? Some of them are tormented! ”

Sighing, she rubbed Yun Rui's head: "If there is someone who is not subordinate to threaten the queen mother...... and your imperial sister-in-law, is Arrow afraid? ”

Threat?

Someone who is not subservient?

Yun Rui was stunned. She didn't understand what Empress Dowager Duan was talking about, but she couldn't help but reflect a picture in her mind of a group of gangsters holding knives to persecute the imperial sister-in-law...... And the picture of the queen mother comes.

The queen mother is so powerful, even Lord Duan listens to her, she must not be afraid of those villains-

Yun Rui didn't know if Empress Dowager Duan would be able to do martial arts, but his intuition was to tell her, "The queen mother is powerful and doesn't need to be protected."

However, the sister-in-law ...... Yun Rui is not at ease.

Sister-in-law is so good-looking, without the protection of the royal brother, she is already very pitiful.

Thinking of the word "pitiful", Yun Rui's brain swelled with enthusiasm, as if protecting his sister-in-law was his unshirkable responsibility.

She then made a solemn little face and clenched her little fists: "Who dares to bully my sister-in-law...... And the queen mother? I'm going to fight them! ”

Night.

In the dormitory of Kuntai Palace, the lights and candles emit a faint yellow light, soft and warm.

Yun Rui had just finished being served and bathed, wearing only an apricot-yellow bedgown, with ink-colored green silk scattered behind his head, and he was softly draped from his shoulders, still filled with a faint vapor.

Tonight, she is still living in the Kuntai Palace as usual. First, she is young after all, and she has just entered the forbidden palace, Jing Yan can't bear to live alone. Second, the prince has always lived in Donghua Palace, which is too far away from Shoukang Palace, and Empress Dowager Duan is afraid that she will be wronged. Therefore, before ascending the throne, with the approval of the Empress Dowager Duan, she can live in Kuntai Palace. In the words of Empress Dowager Duan, "it is convenient for the queen to take care of Arrow".

Lifting the bright yellow tassels, Yun Rui climbed onto the huge bed with his hands and feet, and paused-

What caught my eye was the appearance of Jing Yan staring at the carved flowers on the bed. She was also dressed only in bedclothes, scattered with black silk, and the silky fabric was very attached to her delicate body, outlining the lines of the whole body exquisitely.

As soon as such a picture entered Yun Rui's sight, it took root and could never be erased. It wasn't until many years later, whenever he thought of Jing Yan, the first thing that came to Yun Rui's mind was such a picture. It's just that as I get older, this picture has a different meaning.

That's for later.

At this moment, Yun Rui felt that his sister-in-law was so beautiful that she looked like a character in a painting, but looking at her sister-in-law was different from looking at the characters in a painting. Because, no matter what kind of painting, it will not make her feel so pleasing to the eye, and even, there is a trace of sweetness in her heart.

She couldn't help but follow Jing Yan's gaze. What I saw was the carving of the "Harmony Two Immortals" and lotus seeds that she had studied.

Yun Rui blinked, knowing that his sister-in-law was missing the imperial brother.

"Sister-in-law?"

Jing Yan was shocked and looked at her in a daze, with confusion and pain in his eyes.

Yun Ruishi didn't want to see his sister-in-law sad, so he pulled out the jade pendant around his neck and asked, "Sister-in-law once said that 'Qing'an' is the word of Emperor Gaozu?" ”

Jing Yan came to his senses at this time and said "um".

Yun Rui smiled: "Does that sister-in-law have words?" ”

According to the custom of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when the children reach the age of entering school, they will be given words by the elders in the family or the masters who are familiar with them in the school hall to show their enlightenment and learning.

Because of Yun Rui's special status, Yun Shiduo only named her "Rui" according to Prince Xiaohuai's will, but refused to give her a name.

Jing Yan stared at that serious little face, and remembered what his father said when he was enlightened: "After you were born that day, my father named you 'Yan', which means to take its square and solemn meaning." Now, my son is going to school, is to embark on a smooth road to understand the righteousness, for the father for you to take the word 'duanqing', I hope you behave properly, to be self-alert, no matter when, do not fall into the name of my Jing family. ”

"My word is 'Duanqing'." Jing Yan said lightly.

"Duanqing? Hee-hee, sister-in-law's words are somewhat similar to Emperor Gaozu's. ”

Jing Yan smiled slightly, and remembered that when Zhechu first heard his words, he also said: "Yan'er's words are like Emperor Gaozu's!" Hmm, then I'll call you Qingqing in the future! ”

From now on, no one will call themselves "Qingqing" again......

Yun Rui didn't know what she was thinking at the moment, but said regretfully: "I don't have a word, father...... Well, Lord Yun didn't even take it for me! ”

Jing Yan's heart moved, "Does Arrow want to have words?" ”

"yes!" Yun Rui's eyes lit up, "Otherwise, sister-in-law will pick up a word for me!" Sister-in-law took it, naturally it is good! ”

Jing Yan hesitated.

She wasn't Arrow's elder......

However, after thinking about it, how can Rui not be like a daughter to her and Yu Wenzhe?

Looking at the eager gaze in the big eyes opposite, Jing Yan couldn't help but soften. She thought of the child's tortuous life experience for a while, and thought that she said in the Kuntai Palace today that she would "fight" with the person who bullied her, and she even put herself in front of the queen mother, this child is very concerned about her ......

Jing Yan was very pleased, as if the child he raised knew how to give back the kindness of parenting. However, how could she be the dignified queen of Zhou, how could she be bullied lightly? Not only will she not be bullied, but she will do her best to protect the child in front of her. She wished the child a smooth and carefree life.

"Let's call it 'worry-free'!" Jing Yan said in a soft voice.

Yun Rui was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced: "Worry-free!" It's called worry-free! ”

She said, on a whim, hugged Jing Yan's arm, and excitedly rubbed Jing Yan's shoulder a few times: "Sister-in-law will call me worry-free in the future!" I only need my sister-in-law to tell me to worry-free! ”

Where could Jing Yan withstand her tossing, and hugged her with a helpless smile. The soft little body, as well as the soft silk that spreads the lai, taking advantage of that little face, like a lively little fairy, even Jing Yan couldn't help but sigh secretly: With such an appearance, I don't know how many children of the family will be dumped when I grow up!

Thinking in her heart, she couldn't help but think about the marriage of her children like all parents in the world.

"Child's words! Arrow will have his own heir in the future, so he won't think about it. ”

"It's worry-free!" Yun Rui hurriedly corrected.

"Good! Hassle-free! Jing Yan patiently agreed.

"What is Houjun?" Yun Rui asked curiously, "Why don't you think like this when you have Houjun?" ”

Jing Yan smiled: "The queen is the husband who has no worries!" Worry-free is the emperor, and the husband should be called the 'queen'. ”

Yun Rui's little brows twisted into a pimple: "Husband? ”

"yes!" Jing Yan gently hugged her, "When Wuwu grows up, my sister-in-law will find the best man in the world for Wuwu, and be the queen of Wuwu, he will accompany Wuwu for the rest of his ......life."

"Don't!" Yun Rui shook her head, she instantly thought of Wu Biao and the boys who had fought with her, and suddenly felt disgusted.

Jing Yan was robbed by her and stuck.

Yun Rui's nose was filled with the faint breath emanating from Jing Yan's body, and he enjoyed it very much, but he wanted to hear some sad topics such as "Houjun" in his ears. She suddenly realized that maybe one day, her sister-in-law would not love herself as much as she does now, and the sadness came from it, and her little heart was pumped into a ball.

"I don't want a queen! I just need my sister-in-law to be with me for the rest of my life! She whimpered, her face buried deep in Jing Yan's shoulder socket.

How did Jing Yan know that her heart was so turbulent? He smiled lightly: "Child's words! The person who accompanies the carefree for a lifetime will only be the carefree beloved. ”

She thought about it, at a young age, where does she know what "beloved" means? I laughed to myself.
