Chapter 2/65 Farewell
The days flew by, and it was the beginning of March in a blink of an eye. Rong Chenghan went to the court and went to the yamen on errands every day, and he didn't stay outside except that, he came back early to accompany Liu Ruoxi. Although the Su family was still lukewarm to Liu Ruoxi, they didn't make things difficult for Liu Ruoxi anymore. Liu Ruoxi sometimes even thinks that it is not bad to live so peacefully.
It's just that where will things in this world be so human.
On this day, Rong Chenghan came back earlier than usual, and after entering the house, he asked Liu Ruoxi to help him pack his luggage.
"His Majesty Chen has ......already approved the last time," Rong Chenghan told Liu Ruoxi, today the emperor decreed, Rong Chenghan will personally go to the camp outside the city to lead the training and check the ordnance.
Since Liu Ruoxi passed the door, this is the first time that Rong Chenghan has to go out of the city on business. Speaking of which, Rong Chenghan originally had to go to the camp outside the city every other day, although there were also new officials taking office and complicated things at that time, in addition, Rong Chenghan himself was willing. He was accustomed to living in the barracks, and there were no people or things in the palace that could hold his heart, so he preferred to live in the barracks more often. It's just that Liu Ruoxi passed the door, and Rong Chenghan wanted to spend more time with Liu Ruoxi, so he didn't go to the camp outside the city.
But this time, I had to go.
"How many days are you going?" Liu Ruoxi was mentally prepared, after all, she also saw Tiao Chen that day, and she helped Rong Chenghan polish it.
"Ten days at most, five days at the minimum." Rong Chenghan said.
When Liu Ruoxi heard Rong Chenghan say this, her hand to pack her clothes couldn't help but pause. Not to mention ten days, even five days, this time is not too short. However, this is the right matter, and Liu Ruoxi will naturally not complain.
"What, reluctant to me?" Rong Chenghan saw Liu Ruoxi's face change slightly, and asked with a smile.
"It's good that you're gone. I'm quiet for a few days. Liu Ruoxi immediately smiled.
"Duplicity." Rong Chenghan didn't believe it, and told Liu Ruoxi that after he left, who could he contact for things in the yard, and who he could find if there was something in the house.
Liu Ruoxi listened carefully, knowing that Rong Chenghan was worried about her, worried that if he was not in the mansion, she would encounter any difficulties. In fact, although the two of them didn't say it explicitly, they knew it in their hearts. Liu Ruoxi has lived so comfortably these days, which does not mean that Liu Ruoxi has a foothold in the palace. This is because Rong Chenghan has been at home all the time. What is Rong Chenghan's feelings for Liu Ruoxi, and how much he protects Liu Ruoxi, everyone in the palace sees it.
provoked Liu Ruoxi, that is, provoked Rong Chenghan, who has the courage to provoke Rong Chenghan.
However, if Rong Chenghan had been away for a few days, things would have been different.
Rong Chenghan did not forget that the Su family had tried to make things difficult for Liu Ruoxi, and. There was also a person like Su Qingnuan lurking next to the Su family.
"Auntie, I will tell my father and mother in a while, and send you back to your father-in-law and mother-in-law to live for a few days." Rong Chenghan thought about it and said suddenly. "When I come back from outside the city, I'll pick you up and go back to the house."
"...... like this" I have to say that Rong Chenghan's suggestion is very tempting to Liu Ruoxi. However, Liu Ruoxi thought about it for a while. Still shook his head and refused.
"It's safe, but it's not very good." Liu Ruoxi said slowly. It's not that she's afraid of people and therefore says she's not virtuous, but she thinks of another layer. Su treats her indifferently these days. But from the eyes that Su Shi occasionally projected, Liu Ruoxi had already sensitively sensed what Su Shi was calculating in his heart.
Su must be waiting for an opportunity. Rong Chenghan left for so many days this time, which was a rare opportunity for the Su family.
Although she can take the opportunity to dodge, but the calculation in Su's heart will not die for a day, and this conflict will not be avoided, it is just a matter of time or time. It's better to be early than late. While the more complex and difficult problems have not yet surfaced, the Su problem has been solved first.
In this way, the dilemma of being attacked from all sides can be resolved. Moreover, once Su's problem is solved, Su Qingnuan or someone else has to deal with her, so she has to come forward herself, or use other chess pieces. She is also good at peeling back the cocoon and finding out the truth/appearance.
Su Shi is waiting for this opportunity, and for her, this is not also an opportunity, but it depends on whose means are more clever.
Liu Ruoxi made up her mind in her heart, and told Rong Chenghan that she would not go back to her parents' house to live.
"Even if you want to go back for a few days, it's not the time." Liu Ruoxi said, "You went out of the city, but I was afraid that my mother would need my company." ”
Liu Ruoxi said, and winked at Rong Chenghan.
"Ah, are you sure?" Rong Chenghan stared at Liu Ruoxi, of course he knew that the Su family didn't like Liu Ruoxi, and the so-called want Liu Ruoxi to accompany him, where would there be any good intentions. "I'm not here, and you haven't been in the house for long." Rong Chenghan is still a little worried about Liu Ruoxi, although he also knows that even if he can protect Liu Ruoxi at all times, there are some problems, and Liu Ruoxi still has to face them by himself.
"Hmm." Liu Ruoxi nodded, she was sure.
Liu Ruoxi looked left and right, and there were only two in the house, Mama Chang with June and Layue. These three are her confidants, and they know that the young couple are going to part, and they have a lot of considerate things to say, so they deliberately avoid going away, and they will not let others into the house.
"There are two things I have to help me do, though." Liu Ruoxi attached herself to Rong Chenghan's ear, and said this in a low voice.
"You've had a plan." Rong Chenghan listened, was noncommittal, and only asked Liu Ruoxi.
"It's called ...... Anticipate the enemy's chance. Liu Ruoxi smiled.
"Okay." Rong Chenghan thought about it, and had to nod, "Auntie, you remember my words, don't be too reluctant." No matter what happens, the most important thing is to protect yourself first. Whatever is the matter, I will deal with it myself. ”
"What, you still think my arrangement is inappropriate?" Liu Ruoxi asked.
"Not really." Rong Chenghan stretched out his long arm and took Liu Ruoxi into his arms. Liu Ruoxi is considered to be taller among women, but standing in front of Rong Chenghan, she only reached Rong Chenghan's chest. Rong Chenghan hugged Liu Ruoxi and just put his chin on the top of Liu Ruoxi's brain.
"I knew you were smart, but there are some people and things in this world that you can't imagine......" Rong Chenghan's voice was low. Liu Ruoxi is smart, but too clean. Perhaps, Liu Ruoxi has seen all kinds of things in the Liu family's inner house, and she feels that she has seen enough, enough to deal with anyone and anything. But this is not the case.
Those things in Liufu are completely pediatric compared to the royal mansion. Liu Ruoxi actually didn't know how vicious people and bloody things were in this world.
This is Rong Chenghan's worry about Liu Ruoxi.
"That's it," Rong Chenghan closed his eyes, "When I come back, I'll tell my father and mother that it's better for us to go out and open a mansion." ”
Liu Ruoxi leaned on Rong Chenghan's chest, she couldn't see the expression on Rong Chenghan's face at this time, she only listened to Rong Chenghan's powerful heartbeat in her ears. Rong Chenghan also proposed the matter of opening a mansion and living separately, if he opened a mansion and lived separately, I am afraid that some truths/appearances will be buried, but the two of them can probably really live a peaceful and quiet life.
Kaifu Residence ......
Liu Ruoxi struggled in her heart.
"I know that my father-in-law and mother-in-law also hope like this, but it is only because of my father, princess, and concubine and my filial piety that I can't bear to refuse to make such a request. Auntie, you'd like to go out with me alone, wouldn't you? Rong Chenghan picked up Liu Ruoxi's face and asked.
"I'm afraid, it's not that easy." Liu Ruoxi did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
But this sentence is to the point. Rong Chenghan's gaze was a little solemn, and a dark light flickered in his eyes. Rong Chenghan seems to be resolute, but he is close to his flesh and blood, so he is not entangled at all.
"You just have to rest assured to go on an errand, and we'll talk about this matter when we come back." Liu Ruoxi rubbed Rong Chenghan's chest and comforted.
"Okay." Rong Chenghan also knew that it was useless to think too much now, so he nodded in response.
In the evening, the two of them came to Chunhui Hall together, and Rong Chenghan told King Yongjing and Su that he was going out of the city to train his troops. King Yongjing knew about it for a long time, and only instructed Rong Chenghan to serve the court wholeheartedly. Su Shi heard that Rong Chenghan couldn't come back for a few days, so he was bored for a long time. In the end, after King Yongjing finished giving instructions to Rong Chenghan, Su Shi said two words of advice, which were very perfunctory.
Rong Chenghan listened expressionlessly, and nodded in response.
"Father, mother," after listening to the instructions of the two, Rong Chenghan stood up and saluted King Yongjing and the Su family, "Auntie has just entered the door, and she is still unfamiliar with the palace. I'm not here for a few days, and I have to ask my father and mother to take care of me. ”
Rong Chenghan does not talk about teaching, but only about taking care of it.
King Yongjing raised his eyes and glanced at Rong Chenghan deeply.
"In your own home, what else do you have to worry about?" King Yongjing said this, and then turned his head to look at the Su family. The affairs of the inner house, especially the affairs of the female dependents, still have to be entrusted to the Su family. King Yongjing wanted Su to speak.
"Your father is right." Su Shi said, "Are you afraid that I will neglect your daughter-in-law?" ”
There was a hint of resentment in Su's tone.
Rong Chenghan could have said that he was more pleasing to the Su family, but he didn't choose to do so. His main concern now is to get his meaning more clear. King Yongjing and the Su clan obviously understood.
"That's not what my son meant." Rong Chenghan also only said dryly.
The two sat in Chunhui Hall for a while, and King Yongjing asked them to go back and pack up well, so that they could rest early, and tomorrow morning, Rong Chenghan would get up early and leave the city.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Rong Chenghan left the palace and went out of the city with a personal entourage. sent Rong Chenghan away, Liu Ruoxi had nothing to do but in Yunshuiju, and went to Chunhui Hall in the morning and evening to ask the Su family for peace. Su Shi was indifferent to Liu Ruoxi, and Liu Ruoxi did not deliberately please. The princess has not appeared in front of people for many days, but Su Qing is always present, and she is even more enthusiastic about Liu Ruoxi.
Rong Chenghan walked for two days. On this day, Liu Ruoxi came to Chunhui Hall again, but Su Shi was sick. (To be continued......)
