Ming Yue has come to the front, and when she saw the visitor, she immediately squatted down and saluted, the person who came was Dongfang Ke, who was slender, standing behind him under the big umbrella held up by the little eunuch who accompanied him, and asked loudly. Mingyue stammered speechless because of fear, and in a moment of silence, Ruan Liuyan felt that the rain above her head seemed to be heavier.

Dongfang Ke didn't move, and Mingyue didn't dare to reach out to help.

It had just rained, the ground was hard and wet and cold, Ruan Liuyan was lying on the ground, the right hand hidden in the sleeve had been quietly tightened, and her hands were propped up on the ground slowly, she lowered her head and said: "The emperor doesn't blame Mingyue, it was the concubine who slipped under her feet and accidentally fell off the stone bridge." ”

"But where did it hurt?" Dongfang Ke stretched out his hand to help her this time, but Ruan Liuyan avoided it, "The concubine fell and got muddy on her body, so the emperor should not touch the concubine first, so as not to dirty his hands." ”

"It's fine." Dongfang Ke paused slightly, and withdrew his right hand hanging in the air, "Since the concubine has fallen and is still thinking about me like this, then I will escort the concubine back to the palace." ”

Untied the black cloak on his body, he went straight through the sides of Ruan Liuyan's shoulders and wrapped it around his chest to tie it for her. The hand that tied her cloak on her chest shuttled flexibly, and her fingers were slender and fair-skinned, which made her feel like she was in a trance for a moment.

When she fell, her skirt was stained with muddy water everywhere, Dongfang Ke's cloak just relieved her embarrassment, Ruan Liuyan, who came back to her senses, was a little puzzled, what she didn't understand was: How could the person who was stingy when she fell and reached out to help her so quickly change his face to tie her cloak without changing his face? Don't let her think about it, Dongfang Ke had already turned around and left, and Li Dezhao trotted all the way behind him.

Ming Yue got up at the right time to prop up the oil-paper umbrella, held Ruan Liuyan's arm with one hand, and the two walked forward. Ruan Liuyan stepped forward, and when she landed, there was a heart-piercing pain in her ankle, and she endured no pain and exhaled, she motioned for Ming to help her walk slowly.

Dongfang Ke in front of him stopped and turned his head, and in an instant, he turned around and strode towards them.

"Your Majesty, let the minions find someone to carry on their backs..."

Seeing Dongfang Ke's intentions, Li Dezhao hurriedly opened his mouth to mention yì, but was swept over by Dongfang Ke's eyes.

Dongfang Ke came to Ruan Liuyan and leaned over to hug her. Seeing this, the rest of the people bowed their heads and lowered their eyebrows. Ruan Liu's fireworks were pale, struggling to get off the ground, but he was shackled tighter, "Don't move, I'll send you back." ”

Dongfang Ke's words were concise and to the point, and Ruan Liuyan couldn't disobey him, so he had to bury his head in his arms. The rain did not stop along the way, and it was noon time to return to Chonghua Palace. Dongfang Ke stayed as a matter of course, and Zhao Songyan was once again sent to Chonghua Palace, this time to give Ruan Liuyan the medicine and dressing for his bruises.

Sitting on the head of the bed with his foot clothes off, Ruan Liuyan's expression was flat, the pillow behind him was soft and comfortable, and Mingyue's movements were very light, so the process of applying medicine was not difficult. It was the soft couch in the distance that Dongfang Ke's gaze occasionally came, which made her unconsciously want to close her feet. finally waited for the medicine to be finished, and the palace mermaid who was waiting for him retreated.

Ruan Liuyan, who was sitting at the head of the bed, was a little uneasy, because she found one thing, that is, she went out this time and returned to the palace, and the people who came back to the palace were all new faces, even the palace maid Hong'er who she was going to interrogate was gone.

Seeing Dongfang Ke getting up from the soft couch and walking over, she couldn't help but become more nervous.

"Does it still hurt?" Oriental sitting' bed coupled.

"Back to the emperor, it doesn't hurt anymore." Ruan Liuyan shook his head.

All the palace people have been replaced, except for Dongfang Ke, Ruan Liuyan can't think of anyone else who can 'pay attention' to her so much, since everyone has changed, the emperor must also know about the loss of the jade hairpin. After two seconds of silence, Ruan Liuyan got up and knelt on the bed, seeing this, Dongfang Ke's eyes were dark, and he said in a deep voice: "What is this doing, concubine?" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine deceived the emperor about something today, that is, the concubine's earrings were not lost, but a jade hairpin was stolen, and the concubine was afraid that the emperor would feel that the concubine was not strict in discipline if he knew, so so..."

As she bent down, her hair fell from her shoulders, making it even more supple, and Dongfang Ke helped her up, "Of course I know you didn't mean to. The concubine doesn't want to bother me with these little things, and this heart is commendable. How could I blame you? ”

"Concubine Xie, the emperor does not blame the concubine." Ruan Liuyan smiled, got up with the help of Dongfang Ke's arms that were holding her shoulders, and sat back on the bed.

She didn't dare to ask about the jade hairpin again, but staying alone in the same room with Dongfang Ke made her uncomfortable, Ruan Liuyan turned her brain and racked her brains to think of a topic, so that the atmosphere was not so dull, and before she could use it, Dongfang Ke had already gotten up to leave.

In view of her foot injury, the emperor did not let her get up and kneel down. Verbally sending the emperor out, she watched him leave. In early summer, a large number of flowers bloomed at the open window, and the red petals came into view, which made Ruan Liuyan fall into deep thought.

She returned home at the age of eight, and was sent to the nunnery at the age of twelve, where she was in the nunnery for three years. It can also be said that those three years were the happiest days in her fifteen years, and it was at that time that she met Ziyu.

That "jade hairpin" is Ruan Liuyan's birthday gift to her when she was in the nunnery. This elegant and courteous, gentle and humble son, Ruan Liuyan still remembers the scene of their first meeting.

The back mountain of the nunnery is lush with vegetation, and there are often all kinds of wild fruits to pick in midsummer, when Ruan Liuyan often secretly ran to the back mountain alone to climb the trees to pick bayberry. Once she snuck out again, rubbed her fists at the tall bayberry tree, and went up the tree in twos and threes.

People have misses, horses have stumbled, this time she accidentally fell from a tree, and Ziyu appeared at that time. Ruan Liuyan, who originally thought that she would fall heavily to the ground, was picked up in her arms, and when she opened her eyes, she looked down at her with a handsome face, and it was the first time she was so close to a strange man, and at the age of fourteen, she panicked, broke free from the other party's arms, and thanked the other party with a red face.

Ziyu was relieved of her embarrassment, and Ruan Liuyan, although full of shyness, also welcomed the man who inadvertently broke into her life. Later, they gradually became acquainted, and when her birthday was approaching, Ziyu knew that she didn't like those fancy jewelry, and personally made a pear hairpin for her.

In order to thank Ziyu for sending hairpins, she stayed up late to make a purse, preparing to give it to him when the two met the next day. What people didn't expect was that before the purse was sent out, the Yin family came.

Later, she had no hope of escaping from Yin's house, so she had to agree to enter the palace, and seeing that she was obedient and obedient, Yin Zhongxian did not limit her range of activities too much, but someone followed her inseparably wherever she went. Before entering the palace, Ruan Liuyan went to a famous jewelry store and asked the master in the store to coat her pear hairpin with layers of blue and wrap it to make a jade hairpin.

Women like a piece of jewelry, even if they bring it with them every day, it will not arouse suspicion, she thinks about Zhou Shen, the only thing she didn't count is that there are thieves with unclean hands and feet in the palace.

"Little master, the medicine is here."

Mingyue called softly outside the door, Ruan Liuyan retracted his thoughts and sat up straight: "Come in." ”

Without hesitation, she drank the decoction sent by Ming Yue, Ruan Liuyan took a candied fruit in her hand, Ming Yue took the medicine bowl and was about to retreat, Ruan Liuyan called her, and when she explained the meaning of her words, Ming Yue's eyes widened, "Second Miss, do you mean that you fell on the stone bridge, is someone doing things behind your back?" ”

"What do you say?" Ruan Liuyan glanced at her, "Okay, remember what I explained, you go down." ”

"Yes, master, don't worry, the slave knows what to do." Mingyue assured that Ruan Liuyan was already excited, and hurriedly retreated.
