I can't remember how Jiang Ruan fell asleep that night. Since Zhao Mei's death, she has almost never had the experience of sharing a bed with someone again. Lying on the wide bed, someone sleeping next to her should be a very alarming thing, but she held the dagger given to her by Xiao Shao in her hand, and finally did not put it under the pillow, but received it in the box. Sharing a bed with someone is not a warm thing for her, for example, Zhao Mei and Jiang Quan in the previous life, in the end, they were in the same bed and had different dreams. And she also hoped that Xuanli would become the pillow person, and then it was the pillow man in this dream who deceived her all her life.

She was very nervous, but Xiao Shao closed her eyes very quickly, he slept peacefully and quietly, and Jiang Ruan couldn't help but be surprised. As the head of Jinyiwei, she didn't believe that Xiao Shao was such an unvigilant person. But the young man slept so comfortably as if she were in the safest position beside her. Looking at it, Jiang Ruan himself slowly calmed down, and those complicated emotions slowly returned to peace, but there was a kind of peace of mind that he had never felt before.

The red candle flows quietly with tears, time passes, and at this moment the new house does not have the affection of the beautiful flame, it has nothing to do with the wind and moon, but there is a faint warmth. It seems that those bitter hatreds and coldness that do not belong to the world are also stained with a trace of fireworks in this festive red.

At the beginning of the day, when the first faint rays of daylight shone in, Jiang Ruan opened his eyes. She was surprised that she had slept so soundly all night, and subconsciously turned her head, and the first thing that caught her eye was the handsome face of the young man.

Xu Shifang woke up in a relatively relaxed mood, and Jiang Ruan himself didn't know what he was doing, so he didn't look away, but turned over, and carefully looked at the young man in front of him with his chin in one hand. Xiao Shao slept quietly, he slept very well, which may be the reason for his good upbringing since childhood, even if he slept again, he showed a noble elegance. But it's two points less cold than when I woke up, and there's a beautiful softness. Her gaze slid down, down Xiao Shao's long, straight eyelashes, across her straight nose, thin lips, and delicate chin like a knife, falling on the white jade-like collarbone.

This man was born with a good skin, and the sunlight leaned over him, giving his face a gentle light gold, as handsome as a god. The snow-white middle coat has spread out at some point, revealing jade-like porcelain-white skin, looming under the clothes, and people can't help but want to reach out and touch it. Jiang Ruan was a little stunned, his brain was mushy, and he even reached out to touch it, the place where his hand touched was smooth and tight, and his body temperature was slightly cool, as if he was wearing a good satin, which was really comfortable.

"Think it's okay?" A low voice sounded in his ears, and Jiang Ruan was startled, and withdrew his hand like lightning, Xiao Shao didn't know when he had woken up. He glanced at her with a smile, sat up, and then tuched his collar.

Jiang Ruan felt a little ashamed, and when she saw his worst actions, she was a little angry, how did she look like she wanted to be a man from a good family. What kind of expression did Xiao Shao have, was she so fierce and anxious?

Her expression as if she had swallowed a fly obviously pleased Xiao Shao, the corners of Xiao Shao's lips raised, and she reached out and patted her head, Xu felt that it felt good, and rubbed it a few times, and then said casually: "Call your maidservant in?" ”

"No need." Jiang Ruan sat up by herself, she was only wearing a snow-white middle coat, but regardless of Xiao Shao's presence, she took out her clothes from the box and rescued her behind the screen. The screen is an ordinary picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water in the morning, Rao is so, when Jiang Ruan walked by, he looked at the wedding dress on his head, remembered the embarrassment of last night, and couldn't help but feel a little short of breath. I don't know what Lu Dao is for, she didn't recruit forsythia to come in, and she didn't want others to see the picture of Xiao Shao getting along with her on the second day. She is meaningless, but Xiao Shao is a man after all, nothing happened on the wedding night, and she will not be too comfortable in front of others.

While thinking about it, he changed his clothes, and when Jiang Ruan walked out of the screen, Xiao Shao had already changed his clothes. Because it was the second day of the wedding to enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother, Xiao Shao was no longer able to wear the usual black clothes, so he chose a light red court dress. The embroidered white python opened its teeth and claws, and he exuded a noble bearing. Although it is deserted, it is more and more lined with the son like jade, and the bones are green and pine. Jiang Ruan also wore a water-red lantern jacket skirt with a circle of velvet white rabbit fur at the collar, and her palm-sized face was even more delicate, and her beautiful eyes were infinitely bright.

In this way, the two of them looked more like they were wearing ordinary clothes. Jiang Ruan was a little strange that Xiao Shao didn't need to be served, and after thinking about it, he often performed various tasks, but he was not the eldest young master who came to open his mouth to ask for someone to serve. Seeing that his collar was still open, he walked over and helped him tie it.

She did this action very naturally, but Xiao Shao was slightly stunned, Jiang Ruan lowered her head, and the gentle fragrance of the girl came from the tip of her nose, which could not be ignored no matter what. The white fingertips clasped his neckline, the movements were gentle and demure, Xiao Shao's heart softened for no reason, and suddenly there was an urge to kiss her forehead.

He had just had this thought when a forsythia's voice came from outside: "Is the girl awake?" The slave and maid fetched hot water. ”

Xiao Shao paused, and Jiang Ruan called, "Come in." ”

Forsythia and Bai Zhi came in with a basin of water, and they were also stunned when they saw Jiang Ruan and Xiao Shao's movements, Forsythia lowered his head and laughed, only to say that Xiao Shao and Jiang Ruan really looked like an ordinary couple. Originally, I was worried that my girl would meet Xiao Shao with such a cold temperament, and the two must respect each other like ice, but when they came in, Xiao Shao looked at his girl's expression, and it was obviously very gentle.

Bai Zhi had a calm temperament, and only looked at the bed, and saw that the bed was neat and tidy, and there was no red Yuanpa on it, and he immediately understood in his heart. I don't know whether to be nervous or relieved, and my face is a little complicated for a while.

But no matter how you think about it, that's Jiang Ruan and Xiao Shao's business. After the two of them finished freshening up, Steward Lin had already asked someone to bring breakfast. Just a simple porridge and side dishes, but everything is delicate and elegant, Steward Lin has been looking around since he entered the new house, and when he saw the wedding dress on the screen, his face turned pale, and then he looked at the neat bedding and his face turned a little blue. Qingqing was white a few times, and finally looked at Xiao Shao and couldn't help but sigh, almost beating his chest.

Xiao Shao didn't raise his eyes, he didn't realize that Steward Lin was acting like this, Jiang Ruan would not take the initiative to deal with Steward Lin, this old naughty boy was disrespectful to the old, and often spoke amazingly, even she was often speechless by some of Steward Lin's words. In today's situation, Steward Lin was on the verge of collapse, so she just buried her head in eating and never looked at Steward Lin again.

Steward Lin was snubbed, felt deeply hurt by his self-esteem, and walked away angrily. When I went out and looked at the sun, I couldn't help but have a few tears in my eyes, and I cried out: "Master, madam, the old slave is sorry for you——"

"How?" Jinji jumped off the beam of the house with a "pong": "There is no fierce and fragrant thing? ”

"There's a fart!" Steward Lin was furious when he heard this, and said, "The innocent appearance of the young master and young lady can't be more innocent. "The expected fierce scenes did not appear, so why did Xiao Shao order that no one should listen to the corner outside the new house? No one wants to marry these two people sleeping under a quilt, and they have a bunch of people who have lost sleep all night. Young master, you can have a snack.

"I just know," Jin Er was overjoyed, and stretched out his hand to the colleagues above: "I am willing to gamble and lose, I am willing to gamble and lose, how much silver did I bet yesterday?" ”

actually made a bet on whether Xiao Shao would have anything to do with Jiang Ruan's cave room, and Steward Lin was even more furious when he saw this, and he yelled: "No crowds are allowed to gamble in the palace!" "Thinking of Xiao Shao and Jiang Ruan's matter, I can't help but be worried again, worried that yesterday I could be a gentleman in front of such a screen and a beauty like Jiang Ruan, could it be that my master has that kind of problem. Steward Lin was shocked, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and secretly made up his mind to go to Xia Qing to ask for clarification and ask for a few prescriptions to try.

……

After Jiang Ruan and Xiao Shao had breakfast, the two of them were going to enter the palace to meet the Empress Dowager Yide. The carriage outside has already been prepared, although Steward Lin regrets that the two of them have not been able to complete the house, but the things in the first few days after the marriage have been arranged very thoughtfully, and the carriage is really the handiwork of Steward Lin, and it is extremely extravagant.

After Jiang Ruan got into the carriage, he finally couldn't help but ask the question in his heart: "Is there a lot of silver in the palace?" How could Steward Lin be so generous. ”

In the previous account book, the account books of the Jinying Palace's mansion were all checked by Jiang Ruan, although they were also very rich, but they were ignorant and did not have a whole number. She didn't have any idea about the feed-in.

Xiao Shao was used to seeing Jiang Ruan's shrewd appearance on weekdays, as if there was nothing in this world that she wouldn't do, and it was rare to have something she wouldn't do. ”

He was serious, Jiang Ruan was depressed, he originally thought that the richest person was the royal family, a housekeeper in Xiao Shao's mansion was so generous, if the real person was inferior to people, when he looked at Xiao Shao again, he was evil and gallant, and couldn't help laughing: "So much silver, how much do you plan to share with me?" ”

She just wanted to tease Xiao Shao, she didn't want Xiao Shao to look at her, so she was silent and said, "All the money in the house belongs to you, you can think as much as you want, princess." ”

The last two words "princess", the bite is extremely clear, deliberately slowed down a few beats, the voice is mellow and pleasant, and the straight teaching people listen to the heartbeat. The corners of Jiang Ruan's mouth twitched, Xiao Shao's dark eyes stared at her with broken diamonds, a smile flashed in his eyes, Jiang Ruan turned his head, coughed lightly, and said, "Thank you." ”

……

When the two entered the palace to see the Empress Dowager Yide, the Empress Dowager Yide seemed to be very happy, in recent years, the Empress Dowager Yide has shown more and more kindness in front of Jiang Ruan, today Xiao Shao and Jiang Ruan came in together, the Empress Dowager Yide Xu is very satisfied with the golden jade relationship she gave, and has been saying to Aunt Yang: "Look at these two people, men and women are really a pair of beautiful people." Seeing that you are right, the mourners will be satisfied. ”

Although Jiang Ruan and Xiao Shao did not have a round house, this matter could never teach the Empress Dowager Yide to know the Tao, so in Cining Palace, she has always been very shy and gentle, as if she was really a newlywed wife who had been loved by her husband. She did a very good job, and there was nothing wrong with seeing the past at a glance, but after all, Xiao Shao was frightened, and her expression was a little stiff.

Empress Dowager Yide treated them very generously, the congratulatory gifts before the wedding were not counted, and she gave a bunch of rewards when she entered the palace today. And the mood was clearly high. Jiang Ruan noticed that the Empress Dowager Yide looked at Xiao Shao very differently, where it was like treating a courtier, that gaze was like a grandmother looking at her grandson, her eyes were full of love. It is precisely because Jiang Ruan has been with the Empress Dowager Yide for a period of time that he has more or less figured out the temperament of the Empress Dowager Yide, and he is shocked and suspicious when he sees this scene, but he didn't show it in the end.

Out of Cining Palace, Gonggong Li, who was next to the emperor, brought someone to spread the word, saying that the emperor had something to discuss with Xiao Shao. It must be a matter in the imperial court again, and Jiang Ruan has no reason to follow him. Gonggong Li hinted that it would take a long time to talk, so Jiang Ruan asked Xiao Shao to go over first, and just go out of the palace and go back in a carriage by himself.

She lived in the palace for a while, and she didn't even have to support the palace maids, so she knew the way by herself. Walking on the way out of the palace with Forsythia and Bai Zhi, I didn't want to walk to the end of the imperial garden corridor, and saw two palace beauties coming from a distance, and the two of them also saw her, and before Jiang Ruan could speak, one of them called out in surprise: "Big sister!" ”

That person was Jiang Dan. Today, she is dressed in an apricot-colored cotton satin brocade robe, and the white cranes embroidered on the clothes are about to fly, and her body is surrounded by dingdong, and the jewelry is also very valuable. It seems that he is doing well in the palace, and it is not fake to please the saint. The woman next to Jiang Dan was dressed slightly inferior to her, and her original delicate expression was now only the same smile as the woman in the palace, with a bit of hypocrisy, and she couldn't see her body and mind at a glance, it was Dong Ying'er.

Jiang Dan looked at Jiang Ruan and smiled, looking very enthusiastic: "Big sister, Danniang couldn't go out of the palace to add makeup to you on the big day last night, I'm really ashamed, but Danniang sent someone to send it, big sister still likes it?" ”

It's just a set of jewelry, Jiang Ruan glanced at it and threw it into the box, she smiled slightly: "I like Jiang Zhaoyi's gift very much, Xie Lu Xie." ”

"Why bother to say so politely," Jiang Dan took her hand: "You and I are sisters of compatriots in the same house, so naturally we have to support each other." You became the princess of Jinying Palace, and I was naturally very happy. ”

Jiang Ruan didn't want to talk to her more, but Jiang Dan was so pestering, she simply stood aside and didn't speak generously. Jiang Dan has never done useless things, and today will definitely not be just to catch up with her, there must be some purpose. Now let's take a look at what she wants to do.

Sure enough, Jiang Dan saw her slightly impatient expression, and suddenly smiled: "Speaking of which, people's opportunities are really different. When the eldest sister came back from Zhuangzi and said a word of transcendence, how many people were waiting to see the jokes of the eldest sister. The eldest sister was stunned and became the current lord of Hong'an, Princess Jinying. The eldest brother was left home for many years, and he was never heard from, and suddenly became a general with great military achievements. On the other hand, the second sister and mother have long since turned into white bones. is like the thirteen highnesses in this palace, who was originally just an inconspicuous prince, but now he has been protected by His Majesty. How the fate of people could have changed so much is really intriguing. If there is an afterlife, I don't know what the situation will be. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Ruan's eyes flashed, stared at Jiang Dan tightly, and slowly spoke: "What did you say?" ”

"I said that if there is an afterlife, what will be the situation, will it be a completely different fate, and what will be the fate of the big sister?" Jiang Dan's voice was sweet, and he lowered the pitch, and the voice was a little weird. Seeing Jiang Ruan's suddenly discolored expression, Jiang Dan chuckled and said casually: "Danniang still has something to do, so I won't chat with the big sister, the big sister is easy to go." After saying that, she turned around and left, Dong Ying'er on the side lowered her eyes, and her eyes did not fall on Jiang Ruan for a moment, and she also left.

……

On the carriage back home, Jiang Ruan stared at the small few in front of her, and Forsythia and Bai Zhi stared at her nervously. Since Jiang Dan and Jiang Ruan spoke, Jiang Ruan seemed to be in a bit of a trance, and his solemn expression made Forsythia and Bai Zhi feel a little different.

Jiang Ruan was naturally suspicious in her heart, Jiang Dan's words were meaningful, and it might not be anything to listen to in other people's ears, but it was like a thunderbolt in her ears. The secret of rebirth has been buried in her heart, a secret that no one can touch. How surprising it was to hear this from Jiang Dan's mouth now. Jiang Dan wouldn't say such things for no reason, what did she find, could it be that she was also reborn?

She was distracted by her thoughts, and her brows furrowed tightly. It is too unusual to see in the eyes of Forsythia and Angelica. Jiang Ruan has always been moody and angry, even if he encounters something big, at least he always can't see any waves on his face. Now she just stared at the small table in front of her, but her eyes didn't stare at it, as if she was in a crazy thought, and even Forsythia could feel a little afraid of her. It's just weird.

"Why do I think the girl is stunned?" Forsythia whispered to Bai Zhi: "What did Miss Fang Cai say that the girl is so nervous, there is nothing wrong with me listening." ”

Bai Zhi's face was solemn: "I don't know what Lu Dao is for, I always have a feeling of uneasiness." ”

Jiang Ruan only felt that the more seriously he thought about the key points, the more chaotic his mind became, and he couldn't even hear what Bai Zhi and Forsythia were saying in their ears. Jiang Dan's words were like a curse, and what she resounded like she was crazy was the news of Jiang Xinzhi's death in her previous life, she was pushed from the main hall by Jiang Quan, and fell down the nine-story steps in embarrassment, hearing their indifferent voices announcing that she was a demon girl of the country, and seeing Jiang Susu's crazy expression. It was the moment when she was made an adult, witnessed Pei'er's struggle and crying, was beaten to death with a stick, and made a poisonous oath.

The picture goes around and around, and each picture is stained with blood and tears. The fear of not getting and losing filled her, and she only felt that her heart was getting more and more frenzied, and a kind of unprovoked anxiety surrounded her.

"Girl, girl, what's wrong with you?" Forsythia patted her back anxiously, Jiang Ruan's gaze was straight, and his eyes were already crazy.

"Poof", her throat was sweet, and she spit out a mouthful of blood, all of which were sprayed on the snow-white tablecloth in front of her, and the blood stains were shocking, and the next moment, Forsythia screamed.
