Jiang Ruan was stunned, angry and funny, and nodded Xuan Pei's forehead and scolded with a smile: "It's all nonsense." However, she thought about it seriously in her heart, Xiao Shao didn't know that she was a person who had lived two lives, and in her previous life and this life combined, she was much older than Xiao Shao. This woman is much older than the man, and it is really a little unreasonable, even if she can't see anything else on the outside, it is not the taste in her heart.

Seeing that Jiang Ruan really seriously remembered this, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Xuan Pei's eyes, and he took Jiang Ruan's hand and said, "I didn't know about his relationship with you. King Jinying's pro-mention was sudden, and I thought that it would not be a good thing for my mother to marry him. But then I thought about it, it seems that he is the only one in this world who can compete with Xuanli. Marrying into King Jinying's mansion is better than having something to do with Xuan Li, and King Jinying is cheaper for nothing. Xuan Pei snorted coldly, something was not a taste in the end. In this life, he taught Jiang Ruan to marry Xiao Shao before they knew each other, originally because of the extensive power of King Jinying's mansion, no matter how the dynasty changes in the future, Xiao Shao's status is unshakable. But if he had known earlier that Jiang Ruan was also reborn in this world, he would not have let Xiao Shao marry so satisfactorily.

Jiang Ruan smiled and touched his head: "At a young age, don't pretend to be old all day long." But he completely forgot that when he was reborn, he was the same as Xuan Pei.

Xuan Pei held her hand: "No matter what, mother, we can see each other again, it's always lucky." I was in the palace, and I always felt that something was wrong during these days, and Xuanli didn't do anything else for a long time. There is also the matter of poisoning, someone is staring at you in the dark, and the mother should be more careful. ”

"You don't have to worry about me." Jiang Ruan shook his head: "I don't often be in the palace on weekdays, and the Jinying Palace's palace is heavily guarded, so it's always not so easy for people to get their hands on it." It's you, there are many crises in the deep palace, and you and I are well aware of the hardships and dangers. In addition, now that you are valued by the emperor, I don't know how many people are secretly staring at you, just waiting to grab your handle and say it well. Pei'er, don't confront them head-on, if there is anything, let people come to the palace immediately, and I will ask Xiao Shao to find a few more people with you to protect you. ”

I felt the long-lost care from my mother, as if I had been separated by a lifetime. In this life, Xuan Pei saw all the cold eyes in the palace and tasted the desolation and sadness. He never trusts others, nor does he accept the kindness of others. Only Jiang Ruan can open the soft place in his heart. At this moment, she was talking to him so gently and concernedly, Xuan Pei's heart was sour, and he almost burst into tears.

However, after all, he was not the child who cried when he wanted to cry and laugh when he wanted to laugh in his previous life, he blinked and held back the tears under his eyes. smiled: "The mother concubine doesn't have to worry too much, and the people around me are not vegetarians." Xiao Shao's people are too eye-catching, and putting them next to me will inevitably arouse suspicion. Although there are many people in this palace who want to deal with me, if you have the ability, just come. Let's see who is unlucky. Besides, my father trusts me now, and if anyone wants to do anything, my father will not give up. ”

Jiang Ruan heard him talk about the emperor, but he couldn't see any special emotions in his tone, and he couldn't guess the true thoughts in Xuan Pei's heart for a while, so he looked at him and said: "Pei'er, now Your Majesty trusts you, and in the eyes of others, you have ulterior motives. But you also know that this is not groundless. What do you think, and I'd like to hear your opinion? She asked a little hesitantly, every prince's last goal is to sit on that chair, it is true that she doesn't want Xuan Pei to fight for that position and lose the happiness he should have. But if Xuan Pei, who has relived a lifetime, already has this ambition, she will not hesitate to support him. There is no need to say anything between mother and son, no matter what Xuan Pei wants to do, she is always on Xuan Pei's side.

"Mother concubine is worried," Xuan Pei shook his head with a smile: "Pleasing my father and winning his trust is just self-preservation." With my father's partiality, at least no one dared to touch me easily. As for my father's thoughts, I don't want to speculate, and I can't tell how it will develop in the future. The first thing I have to do now is to avenge my mother and myself. Although the surname of the world is Xuan, it is not his turn to control it. ”

There was a hint of anger in his words, Jiang Ruan wanted to persuade him, but when he thought of himself, he couldn't. came full of anger, just to avenge the blood hatred. The grievances in the previous life were too tragic, and I dare not forget them in this life no matter what. She smiled and said, "I will always protect you." ”

The two talked for a while, Jiang Ruan couldn't stay in Nanyuan for a long time, so he instructed Xuan Pei to be careful next, and left by himself. After Jiang Ruan left, Mingyue walked in, stood beside Xuan Pei, was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Why didn't Your Highness tell the princess the truth?" ”

Whether Xuan Pei is intentional or unintentional about the world, at least in Mingyue's opinion, it is not completely unintentional. Every step he made was a plot to take over the country. Including how to quietly please the emperor's concern. and began to gradually attract a group of officials in the DPRK and China, although everything was done seamlessly, but over time, it will definitely be able to add a great boost to the succession.

Xuan Pei would never answer such a question on weekdays, and he was especially indifferent in his bones, but today he didn't know if it was because of Jiang Ruan that his attitude was softened a little, and he actually showed a little mildness and fatigue. He said: "She wants me to be an innocent and kind prince, why should I tear this illusion apart and show her the ugly truth." One more day, in her eyes, I'm just a child, and it's good. In the end, I took this country, but I just wanted to protect the people I wanted to protect. ”

wants to protect Jiang Ruan and keep her from harm. First of all, they need to stand in a supreme position, trampling those who despise them under their feet, only absolute power is absolute security, for Jiang Ruan, even if the road to the emperor is full of killing and blood, then what's the matter?

Mingyue stopped talking, and Xuan Pei wouldn't say anything more to her if she asked, just silently stepped aside.

However, Jiang Ruan came out of Nanyuan, and just after taking a few steps, he heard an unfamiliar voice behind him: "Lord Hong'an." ”

She turned around and saw a few eunuchs and palace maids walking around a gray-clothed man. The man was dressed in a long gray robe, with a hat that almost covered the upper half of his face, and only a delicate chin could be seen, and his voice was a little indistinguishable from that of male and female, which gave people a beautiful and strange feeling at first glance.

"Your Excellency is ......?" She smiled. This person does not call her Princess Jinying, but the Lord of Hong'an. In the palace of the Great Jin Dynasty, this is the first time.

"My man Yuanchuan," the man in gray pulled out a smile: "I came from afar from the Tianjin Dynasty to offer my loyalty to His Majesty the Jin Dynasty." ”

The eunuch on the side hurriedly explained: "If you go back to the county lord, this Lord Yuanchuan is an envoy of the Heavenly Jin Kingdom. ”

Jiang Ruan quietly looked at the Yuan Chuan in front of him, only to feel that the other party's dress did not look like a person from the Tianjin Kingdom, and there was an indescribable feeling all over his body, which always made people feel a little uncomfortable. And Yuan Chuan faced him, his hat covered his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression, and it was even more impossible to guess his thoughts.

"He was originally an envoy of the Heavenly Jin Kingdom," Jiang Ruan said with a smile: "The Jin Dynasty is vast and rich, and the envoys can turn around more often to broaden their horizons." Jin Dynasty has always welcomed guests. The irony of what she said was that an envoy of a defeated country just came to bow down and surrender to the minister, so why should he make a glorious appearance. And the words left no room for the fact that the Tianjin Kingdom is a small country and the people are short-sighted. The faces of the two little eunuchs on one side turned a little blue. Although he is an envoy of a defeated country, he always has to give some respect on his face, and he has no need to say that the royal family of the Great Jin Dynasty is bullying. But the lord of Hong'an is now the princess of Jinying, so naturally he can't be offended, and for a while, the two little eunuchs were worried in their hearts, and they only hoped that Yuanchuan was a soft personality and didn't care too much about this matter.

Yuan Chuan is really a soft character, and in the face of Jiang Ruan's words with a gun and a stick, he didn't even show a trace of indignation. Instead, he smiled and said: "I just saw the county lord come out of Nanyuan, Yuanchuan knows that Nanyuan lives in the thirteenth highness, I didn't expect the county lord and the thirteenth highness sisters and brothers to have such a deep relationship, even if there is no blood thicker than water, it is still so affectionate." ”

The faces of the two eunuchs suddenly turned white again, and they still felt that this Yuan Chuan was a soft character, but when they looked at him at this moment, they only felt that this person was really hateful. This means that Jiang Ruan and Xuan Pei are just coy, and they even want to destroy Jiang Ruan's reputation. If it weren't for Jiang Ruan's marriage now, if this sentence spread out, I don't know how much wind and waves it would set off.

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, as if she didn't know anything about the slander in Yuan Chuan's words, and a strange light crossed her beautiful face, but it disappeared in an instant, and said with a smile: "The thirteenth brother asked the palace to find a few unique books outside the palace, and it happened that the palace found it, and sent it over with the things that the queen mother wanted to give the thirteenth brother." I wonder what objections Motokawa-sama has? ”

She moved the Empress Dowager Yide out, and she had already left her hands behind. The sentence "Lord Yuanchuan" is really ironic, why should an envoy of the Tianjin Kingdom discipline the family affairs of the royal family of the Dajin Dynasty, this hand is really stretched too long.

Yuan Chuan was stunned and didn't speak for a long time, but the two eunuchs around him were already angry at him. It is not the turn of outsiders to get involved in his own country, and an envoy dares to express his opinion on royal affairs, which has ulterior motives, and for a while Yuan Chuan actually committed public anger. After a while, Yuan Chuan said: "The county lord is really gentle and kind, and a good eldest sister who loves her younger brother." ”

He couldn't find out anything, even if he had some suspicions, but the Empress Dowager Yide and the lone book in her hand were conclusive evidence, and no one could find out what was wrong. Jiang Ruan was already concerned about Xuan Pei's affairs, especially now that Xuan Pei was staring at him with countless pairs of eyes in the palace. For things that may become his handle, Jiang Ruan will never do it. Even an ordinary meeting was cleaned up, and no one could catch the handle.

"Each other, each other." Jiang Ruan smiled.

Yuan Chuan slowly lowered his head and said, "In this case, Yuan Chuan will not disturb the county lord and leave." "Said that he performed a strange ceremony, which is probably the etiquette of the Tianjin Kingdom. Jiang Ruan glanced at him and said with a smile: "The envoy also walks slowly." ”

……

During the day, because of Xuan Pei's matter, Jiang Ruan sorted out the matter again. It was really a surprise to recognize Xuan Pei, and even her sadness because of Bai Zhi's death became a little more cheerful. The dew drops are a little strange, Forsythia faintly knows that Lu Dao is related to Xuan Pei, but she doesn't know what the reason for Lu Dao is. After Jiang Ruan became cheerful, he even read a lot of the account books that had been piled up a few days ago. When she stayed in the study until late at night, Forsythia came in and said, "Girl, it's time to rest." ”

Jiang Ruan put down the booklet in his hand, rubbed his eyes, got up and freshened up and returned to the bedroom. Xiao Shao had already returned to the house, and at this moment he had taken off his coat, only wearing a jade-colored undershirt and reclining on the bed, flipping through a book.

Jiang Ruan's steps were stiff as soon as she walked in, she had slept with Xiao Shao before because of the first night of the wedding, and then she was poisoned, and after returning home, she was completely out of her mind because of Bai Zhi's matter. Now that the matter has come to an end, it is all piled up in front of his eyes. It's really embarrassing to be alone with Xiao Shao like this, especially in the name of husband and wife.

Look at the beauty under the lamp, and the beauty is like jade. When Xiao Shao wears black clothes, he is always cold and cold, but whenever he takes off his black clothes and puts on light-colored clothes, that cold and quiet becomes a kind of elegant and noble, and the killing has also become a warm and glamorous. The jet-black black hair hung down on the shoulders, and the side face was beautiful, only to feel like a piece of beautiful jade shining.

Sensing Jiang Ruan's movements, Xiao Shao raised his eyes and glanced at her, and Jiang Ruan walked to the edge of the bed and sat down casually. Xiao Shao was slightly stunned, put the book in his hand on the table on the side, and looked at her puzzled.

Jiang Ruan coughed lightly, and then became a little annoyed, how could this look like she was dissatisfied. Quickly digging out this ridiculous thought in her head, she pretended to be very calm and skillfully uncovered the quilt and lay in, and covered the quilt again. Turning his head, he looked at Xiao Shao thoughtfully.

Jiang Ruan's face suddenly became a little feverish, and he was stunned when he thought of what Xuan Pei said during the day that he was old and Xiao Shao was a lot. She only felt that the atmosphere was really a little strange, and she looked at Xiao Shao: "I met Yuan Chuan, the envoy of the Heavenly Jin Kingdom, in the palace today. ”

Xiao Shao let out an absent-hearted "um".

"He's not from the Kingdom of Tianjin." Jiang Ruan frowned, and said without waiting for Xiao Shao to ask: "I deliberately belittled and destroyed Tianjin in front of him, but he didn't react at all. "No matter how bad a person in the world is, he can't tolerate others bullying his family. Especially a person like an envoy who represents the face of a country will definitely not let him humiliate his country so easily. If Yuanchuan was really as soft as he appeared, the emperor of the Heavenly Jin Kingdom would not have sent such a person to slap himself in the face.

"You said that he is not from the Tianjin Kingdom, could it be another spy, and what is the purpose of going to the palace, I always feel that he seems to be going to Pei... The thirteenth brother did something. Jiang Ruanwu said to himself, and suddenly found that Xiao Shao did not react, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Are you listening?" As soon as the words fell, he suddenly felt that his body was heavy, and he was thrown down on the bed, Xiao Shao supported his body with one hand and looked down at her condescendingly, and his eyes were unable to see the emotion.

Jiang Ruan's whole body tensed, and for a moment he was a little stunned and didn't know what to do, Xiao Shao replied slowly: "Well, I'm listening." ”

His smooth and smooth black hair hung down a little on Jiang Ruan's face, tickling people's hearts. The eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, the long eyelashes were straight and trembling slightly, the thin lips were gently pursed, and the breathing came like nothing, and Jiang Ruan could almost hear his powerful heartbeat. A sense of oppression that cannot be ignored hits so suddenly, with an imperceptible ambiguity.

She said, "You ......." You get up, it's too heavy. ”

She didn't know the scenery when she said this, she was already bright and beautiful, and now the neckline of her underwear was slightly open like this, and she could vaguely see the crimson belly pocket inside. The face is charming and charming, as if it is a newly opened moon season, and two traces of red float on the fair face, which is more moving than the good rouge. And the lips are not dotted and vernal, as if attracting people to kiss Fangze.

Xiao Shao just wanted to tease her, and thought it was very interesting to look at the nervous appearance of the girl who was usually indifferent and killed in all directions. I don't want to be so beautiful now, Rao is cold and cold-hearted, he couldn't be indifferent when he looked at the scene in front of him, his breathing gradually became rapid, and his head gradually leaned towards her.

Jiang Ruan's eyes widened, and she was at a loss for a while, in her previous life, when she and Xuanli thought that they had the strongest love, they were just holding hands with affection and politeness. I've never been so close to a man, and I don't know how to parry it at all. As soon as his heart was horizontal, he simply closed his eyes, and his nervous heart almost jumped out.

I don't want to know if the kiss didn't fall after all, Xiao Shao laughed softly in his ears, Jiang Ruan suddenly raised his eyes, and found that Xiao Shao couldn't help but smile when he looked at her, as if he thought she was so funny.

Jiang Ruan broke free angrily, only feeling very shameless. In the end, he glared at Xiao Shao again, grabbed the quilt and wrapped himself tightly from head to toe. Xiao Shao was helpless, and hugged her through the quilt: "Be careful of stuffiness." ”

Jiang Ruan didn't want to pay attention to him, Xiao Shao coaxed in a low voice: "Ah Ruan, I was wrong, I'm nervous." ”

These words were so shameless, Jiang Ruan sat up again, pulled off the quilt and glared at her. Xiao Shao now feels more and more that Jiang Ruan is interesting, no matter how indifferent and delicate he usually is outside, at least this side can only be seen by him, and he can't help but feel proud in his heart. Jiang Ruan was really out of temper by his handsome face, and said coldly: "Lend me Jinsan tomorrow, I have something to do." ”

"Okay." Xiao Shao agreed without thinking about it: "They are all your people, you don't have to tell me." ”

"You're mine too?" Jiang Ruan squinted at him and asked rhetorically.

"I'm your man." Xiao Shao couldn't help but laugh again.

“……。 Shameless! ”

……

Jiang Ruan couldn't remember how he slept at night, but he felt that the two of them were one step closer than before, at least now that there was one more person on the couch, he also felt a lot more at ease. She was getting used to Xiao Shao's feelings. It's just that early in the morning, Steward Lin came in singing a little song while Jiang Ruan and Xiao Shao were eating, and carefully searched the entire bed, making sure that he didn't see any traces of what he wanted, so he hung his head and walked away.

Xiao Shao was about to go out to run errands after eating, Jiang Ruan stayed in the house, Jin San rushed over after listening to the order, looked at Jiang Ruan who was sorting out the book on the chair and said, "What does the young lady want Jin San to do?" ”

Jiang Ruan told Jin San what he was going to do, and Jin San was stunned after hearing it: "The young lady didn't tell the young master?" ”

"He probably already knew that I was going to do this," Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "I also heard him ask people to deal with the people in the case department today." ”

"The young lady is now doing such a big move, it will inevitably attract tongues, although these outsiders' words don't need to be taken to heart, but can Jin San dare to ask, why did the young lady do this at this juncture? Does it mean anything else? Jinsan asked.

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, but he didn't hide it from her: "I have to do this thing anyway, but sooner or later." At this time, it was only because I was tired of it, and my spearhead was aimed at him on the surface, but in fact it was only aimed at the one in the palace. The more I made a fuss, the more she panicked. I'm trying to force her to do it, because she's acting cautiously and can't get a handle on it, and I can't find an opportunity. People can only make mistakes when they are flustered, and I did all this just to ask her to take the initiative to send me the handle of the mistake. ”

Jin San thought for a while, and finally understood what she meant, and said in surprise: "The young lady is so smart. She thought for a while: "But there is bound to be another tough battle to be fought today, doesn't the young lady need the master to accompany her?" "The Jinyi guards are now really convinced of Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan didn't want to escape and guard the Jinying Mansion at the critical moment, but also to hide their strength, Jinyiwei is full of respect for such a heroine. People's hearts are flesh and blood, but whenever she has something, she will leave no room for help.

"No need." Jiang Ruan smiled: "I'm also the mistress of this palace, I can't do this thing well, and I'm too weak." It's my own business, and I can handle it. As for Xiao Shao, he will have something to do in the future. There seemed to be a strange emotion surging in her bright eyes, like an impulse to try, and like some ironic heartache, and the complex entanglement made her beauty show a decisive cruelty.

At this moment, at the door of the Division, the drum of injustice was beaten to the ground, and there were a circle of people around to watch the excitement, and more and more people stopped, almost surrounding the entire entrance of the Division. The two young women, who were beating the drums on the left and right, both looked angry. I don't know how long it took, a man in an official uniform came out and shouted, "Who is beating the drum of injustice? ”

"The slaves and maids beat the drum for the eldest daughter of the master Jiang family, and the pleadings are on top, asking the lord to try clearly, the murder case of the first lady of Shangshu Mansion is the real murderer!"
