CHAPTER XVII

Lu Qinglan felt that Ruyi would not come, but Runrun stood at the door of her small courtyard early, waiting with her eyes blank.

But what she was waiting for was not Ruyi, but Rulan.

Rulan was taken to Runrun's yard by the maid, although she felt that Runrun did not greet her in person, and was a little lazy, but she thought that she was here to apologize, so she put away her dissatisfaction again.

When Runrun saw her at the gate of the courtyard, his first reaction was to 'kick and kick' and take a few steps back. Fortunately, the forsythia next to her was quick and helped her behind her.

However, her behavior made Rulan feel quite embarrassed, as if she was some kind of man-eating beast, which scared the other party like this.

Runrun steadied his footsteps, pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said timidly: "Ru, Rulan, you are here." ”

Rulan nodded and said, "I'll come and see you." ”

"Then, sit in that room."

Runrun welcomed her inside, and her aunt was still in the house, so she wouldn't be too scared.

When Ruyi came before, she didn't want adults to be present, so that she could talk to Ruyi well.

This time, she specially told her aunt that she must not be present.

When Lu Qinglan saw Rulan, she saw that she was a wheat-complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes, quite a heroic little girl, and when she saw herself, she called someone very politely and saluted, she couldn't help but feel a little funny that Runrun was so scared before. It's not that it looks scary, why is her family Runrun afraid of being like that.

However, Runrun is afraid of being afraid, and the etiquette is still thoughtful.

Rulan said that she was her guest, and although her aunt was there, she still arranged for the maid to serve her flower tea, fruits, and snacks.

Rulan said: "Don't be busy with any snacks first, I have something to say to you." ”

Runrun nodded, "Well, you can say it." ”

Rulan had a big head, and what she meant just now was that she wanted Runrun to retreat from the others, so the two talked privately. But the other party didn't understand at all.

But Runrun didn't understand, but Lu Qinglan was not stupid. The little girl wanted to save face, and she could understand it, so she took the initiative to say, "I'll go to the stove and stew some buttermilk for you." With that, he took the maid in the house and left.

When Runrun saw that her aunt was leaving, she subconsciously jumped off the chair to go out with her, but after thinking about it, she thought that Rulan was still there, so she stopped again and sat down again.

After everyone in the house left, Rulan coughed lightly and said, "What happened in the palace last time was that I didn't do it right, I shouldn't make fun of you, I hope you don't mind." ”

Runrun wrung his fingers and whispered, "I don't mind." ”

Rulan continued: "What happened in the palace, even if it is over? ”

Runrun didn't quite understand what she said, wasn't that incident a few days ago, how could it not be over?

Rulan saw that she hung her head but didn't speak, and she was also a little apprehensive in her heart.

His father, Marquis Xiangping, once served as a deputy general under the banner of Chengguo, and later won a big victory, and his father was crowned a marquis. Although it is not a hereditary title, it is also the honor of the ancestors.

Therefore, her father also respects Cheng Guogong very much, and after returning from the palace, her father heard that she had a conflict with Cheng Guogong's youngest daughter, and asked her to apologize for everything.

But the Chengguo Mansion was indeed too arrogant, and her mother took her to ask to see her several times, but she was easily blocked back by the Duchess of Chengguo.

Later, there was really no way, and the family heard that Ruyi was good friends with this one in the bachelor's mansion, so I thought of coming to the bachelor's mansion to borrow the east wind.

The two were awkwardly silent for a while, and Lu Qinglan had already returned from the kitchen. Seeing that the two little girls didn't speak, she said roundly: "Why do you sit down, Runrun, didn't you save a few things to eat?" Why don't you take it out and share it with Rulan? ”

Runrun paused after listening, then whispered "um", turned his head and asked Rulan: "Do you like to eat snacks?" ”

In fact, Runrun hopes that Rulan will say that she doesn't like it, and it's not that she's stingy, but that she is usually reluctant to eat and save those few things, thinking about the next time Ruyi comes and entertains Ruyi. After a while, Ruyi came, and the things were given to others, and she didn't know what to give to Ruyi for a while.

Rulan felt that this was a good opportunity for the two to close the distance, so she nodded and said, "I eat everything, don't pick my mouth."

Runrun had no choice but to go to the bedside and take out his small box for snacks and push it in front of Rulan to share it with her.

As the most pampered and greedy child in the family, Runrun will never forget her when anyone in the family gets delicious food. It's the youngest Zhen Zhen, who sometimes brings her things.

Therefore, Runrun's baby box has always been full.

Right now, what is in this place is the caramel that Zhen Zhen sent to her two days ago. I heard that it was given by the prince of Xin, and it is different from what can be bought on the market, sweet but not greasy, and with a fruity fragrance. A total of two boxes were given, and Zhen Zhen gave her half of them. Runrun liked it as soon as he ate it, so he took one every day before going to bed, and the rest was saved up to share with Ruyi.

There are very few little girls who don't like sweets, and Rulan is no exception. When she ate this fruit-flavored caramel candy, she couldn't help but eat two more pieces.

Runrun thought in his heart, if he eats one piece, he will have one less piece, and Ruyi will come soon. The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, and her little forehead was sweating.

Fortunately, she thought so, and Ruyi didn't take long to come.

Originally, she was in a hurry to rush here, but she had no choice but to have the number of courtesies she should have, and when she arrived at the bachelor's mansion, she had to follow her mother to the old lady to say goodbye, and then she came to Runrun.

As soon as Runrun heard the maid say that Ruyi was coming, he jumped off the chair and ran directly outside the house, and met Ruyi who entered the yard. Ruyi wore a strong suit and tied her hair with a hairband, she looked like a little boy from a distance, but Runrun still recognized her at a glance.

"Ruyi!" Runrun shouted happily.

This love xù also infected Ruyi, and she also shouted "Runrun".

Runrun ran to her side and took her hand, and then pulled her into the house. Ruyi also trotted to catch up with her. When the two arrived at the house, Rulan was still confused, and Runrun had already pulled Ruyi down on the table, and said to Ruyi: "Ruyi, hurry, eat sugar!" ”

Ruyi said "hey", really took a candy from the box and put it in his mouth, and said very cooperatively: "It's so sweet, thank you Runrun." ”

Runrun really smiled at this time, and a pair of eyes were like crescents.

Ruyi ate candy, touched her head, and then went to meet Lu Qinglan.

Lu Qinglan saw that there were more children in the house, and thought about preparing more things in the kitchen, so she went out again.

When I went out, I met a half-grown boy in the yard. The figure already looks like a teenager, but his face is still childish, and he looks about the same age as the two brothers Ye Heng and Ye Yu in the family.

Of course, this young man is no one else, he came with Ruyi, Prince Zhu Xi.

Cheng Guogong went to the front yard to talk to Ye Ling. Recently, the emperor intended to choose a Taifu for him, and Ye Ling, as a cabinet scholar, was one of the candidates. At this time, in order to avoid suspicion, the prince did not follow Cheng Guogong.

Duchess Chengguo is talking to the old lady, they are all women's families, and it is inconvenient for him to be a half-old teenager. After thinking about it, it's better to follow her cousin, anyway, she came to play with that little fat girl, so he should treat himself as a child!

When Lu Qinglan saw him, she naturally stepped forward to talk.

The crown prince did not identify himself, only said that he was a relative of Ruyi. He gave birth to a good appearance, especially a pair of clear and bright eyes, as if with a three-point smile when he didn't speak, anyone who looked at it couldn't help but feel that he would grow up to be a gentle and humble gentleman.

Lu Qinglan said: "Why didn't this kid go in and join them, stand outside, and see more outside." I'll go and bring you something to eat. Obviously, she didn't expect that the person in front of her was the future monarch of Dayao.

The prince gave her a half-salute and went into the house.

The little chubby girl just now was just pulling his cousin, and she didn't see herself behind her at all, which made him very unaccustomed to being a starry man, and he was embarrassed for a while and didn't know whether to follow up or turn back directly.
