Chapter X

When facing Erlang, Ruyi is actually a very unprincipled sister.

When I woke up from sleep, most of my qi was gone. For Erlang's determination to reconcile without apologizing, she is no longer so insistent.

Because she suddenly realized that with Erlang's stupid Cheng dΓΉ, it is really possible that he will not apologize! Could it be that she really wants to reconcile with him for the rest of her life?

And after all, Erlang is younger than her, his younger brother, and she can't care about him in everything. Even if you are angry, you should communicate with him well, let him know why it is wrong to do so, and correct it in the future.

Now that there are no gnats in the bamboo ball in her hand, if Erlang just likes to throw it and play with it, then let him go.

But when thinking like this, Ruyi still unexpectedly remembered Erlang's arrogant and unreasonable gaze yesterday, and his mood couldn't help but be clouded. She shook her head vigorously and patted her cheek to sober herself up.

It's still early, and it's not yet time for a morning meal. After Ruyi finished washing, he took the bamboo ball and went to the Erlang Palace.

Erlang has also gotten up, and is napping and being served by the maid to wash, the first meal.

A maid whispered in his ear, "The fourth princess is here." ”

Erlang dozed off for a moment, and suddenly woke up excitedly, and quickly looked back at Ruyi with his eyes wide in disbelief, and only after a moment did his eyes reveal some grievances.

He was born beautifully, even if it is not a show of weakness, it makes people pity him from the bottom of their hearts, and they can't treat him too harshly.

The anger in Ruyi's heart dissipated like this.

She stepped forward to talk to Erlang, but Erlang turned his head and said a long sentence in one breath, "I want to change my clothes." ”

He can speak with his face, but he prefers to use his mouth.

The unfriendly tone immediately awakened Ruyi's confrontational instinct, and she thought that the two were still in a cold war, so she subconsciously replied, "I'll send you a bamboo ball." ”

Erlang is angry - he doesn't want that bullshit bamboo ball! He just threw it away, and she was angry with him! What else does he want?

The maid beside him had served him for a long time, and she knew how to avoid being harmed by the pond fish, so she immediately said, "Your Highness still has something to say to the princess, can the princess not leave in a hurry?" Avoid it for a moment and wait for His Highness to get dressed, and then come in? ”

Ruyi glanced at Erlang, and saw that he was standing there more and more aggrieved, and realized that what the maid said was his true words. He replied sullenly, "Well, then I'll wait for you." ”

In a short time, the maidservants who served him in the house dressed and washed came out one after another. Ruyi knew that Erlang was finally dressed, so he went into the house alone.

Jiro was really waiting for her.

Although he borrowed the maid's mouth to leave Ruyi, and the Tao had something to say to her, but with his quiet Cheng DΓΉ, he didn't mean to take the initiative to speak at all. He just looked at Ruyi with those big black eyes, and his gaze followed her from the time she entered the house until she walked to him. Only then did he turn his head arrogantly.

In this way, it was like Ruyi came to apologize early in the morning.

However, Ruyi's original intention was to reconcile with Erlang, but he didn't care much.

She took out the bamboo ball and handed it to Erlang, "This is for you." After a pause, he added, "There are no gnats here, you can drop or step on ...... casually."

- She still has some nostalgia for what Jiro did the day before.

Jiro was silent for a moment, and then he understood that Ruyi still didn't realize the crux of the problem.

Of course, the night before he had reflected on it for a night, and had realized where he had done something wrong. He shouldn't have thought about what to do with Ruyi once he was annoyed, so he hastily started a tantrum at Ruyi. As a result, Ruyi interrupted his rhythm halfway, and he didn't even have time to respond - Ruyi actually jumped out of the window and ran away. In this way, he didn't achieve his goal at all, but seemed to have deliberately lost his temper and bullied Ruyi.

What a mistake, what a mistake - she could, and dared to jump out of the window!

Jiro was annoyed all night. So much so that as soon as Ruyi entered the door today, his first thought was to close the window first.

But Erlang wasn't worried that Ruyi would take it seriously, so he ignored him, don't you think Ruyi hurried to him early this morning?

He is actually fearless about Ruyi, knowing that no matter what mistakes he makes in front of this person, he will definitely be forgiven in the end.

He doesn't need a particularly clear reason, he just knows.

And with him, Ruyi is the same.

Jiro vaguely felt that this kind of special thing was also a very troublesome thing. Once Ruyi realizes that he can also have no fear, won't he also do things he doesn't like unscrupulously? Thinking that this person might challenge his patience again and again, Jiro felt that he had to nip this possibility in the bud as soon as possible.

He raised his hand and waved the bamboo ball in Ruyi's hand away.

The bamboo ball was very flexible, and it bounced a few times on the ground, and then rolled down to the foot of the table, slowly stopping.

Erlang used enough strength, and only the ones that passed to Ruyi's hand through the bamboo ball already made her palms hurt faintly.

He has repeatedly made this kind of bullying behavior. Even if it was Ruyi, after taking the initiative to run to show goodwill, he suffered this kind of treatment, and his face was a little painful.

However, this time she said that this bamboo ball Erlang could be disposed of at will, and she would not bother with him for this.

It's just that her intention to make peace was interrupted like this.

She said, "Now that the things have been given to you, I'll go back first." ”

Erlang said, "I don't want it." ”

Ruyi paused, turned back, picked up the bamboo ball and held it in his arms. Since he didn't want it, she wouldn't give it to him.

Erlang raised his hand and wanted to knock the bamboo ball again, but he waved it in Ruyi's hand by mistake. His palms were small and solid, and his strength was unreserved, and Ruyi's hands immediately hurt hotly.

She finally couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed his wrist, "Xiao Erlang, you can stop in moderation." ”

Erlang really didn't mean to beat Ruyi, but he did deliberately bully her. Regarding the fact that Ruyi is not a maidservant but his sister, and she may fight back if she is provoked, Erlang is fully mentally prepared.

But he still underestimated Ruyi's force value.

He didn't even have time to react before he was caught, and Ruyi apparently took his body movements to break his hand out as an attack, and with a stumbling of his sensitive feet and a flip on his hand, he twisted Jiro's arm and subdued him reflexively.

After all, she has been practicing martial arts with her master for half a year, and she still learned some of these talisman techniques.

It's just that children can't grasp the accurate number. Ruyi has always practiced with adults, and she has never been the only one who can't hold people, and there is no situation where she hurts people. Therefore, although she was merciful, her strength was still a little heavy.

Fortunately, the child's limbs are soft, and Erlang just has a pain in his flesh. However, he understood the seriousness of the situation better, and gritted his teeth and held back, without screaming.

This time he could no longer be stingy with words, so he lowered his voice and said, "Let me go." Ruyi also wanted to force him to succumb, but Erlang hit him with a blow, "It hurts." Ruyi immediately let go.

But she was really annoyed this time, "If I can hold you once, I can hold you a second time." You've got to be honest with me. If you dare to do anything to me, I'll beat you. ”

Jiro: I didn't mean to, and you haven't already called back!

Erlang was about to have a seizure, when he heard the hurried footsteps outside, and after a while, the maid knocked on the doorβ€”they all had Erlang's orders, and they did not dare to come in at willβ€”and said, "Your Majesty is here." ”

Listening to the voice, he knew that the royal car was approaching, and Erlang was alert, and he was already vaguely aware that he was afraid that it was the quarrel inside that caused the maids to be alert. They were afraid that the two sisters and brothers would fight, but they didn't dare to interfere, so they hurriedly went to Xu Si's room to move the rescuers. But it was the Son of Heaven who came, not Xu Si, presumably the Son of Heaven happened to bump into him when he went out and intercepted him.

Erlang immediately said, "Go and ask A-Niang to come over." ”

He didn't have time to tell Ruyi anything, the door had been pushed open, and the Son of Heaven was indeed the same set of clothes as the previous court, followed by half a guard of honor, and strode into the house.

The Son of Heaven stepped forward and swept Ruyi and Erlang with a condescending gaze.

Jiro didn't know how much he saw - Hengzhi Jiro would never take the initiative to speak, although he was young, he was very calm.

And Ruyi did not express his desire in front of the Son of Heaven, and rarely explained anything. Although there was a feeling of uncomfortably depressed that was seen through by the Son of Heaven at a glance, he didn't speak.

The Son of Heaven stepped forward slowly, leaned over and picked up the two bamboo balls. Ruyi needed to be the size of the one he held in his arms, but he only stretched out his five fingers and pinched it lightly.

He handed the bamboo ball in his left hand to Ruyi, who curtsied and took it with both hands.

He handed the bamboo ball in his right hand to Erlang, and as soon as Erlang raised his arm, his right arm twisted painfully. Fortunately, he didn't have much expression at all, and he only flicked it with his left hand, and then he also held it with both hands.

Tianzi Feng's eyes drooped and landed on his right wrist, and when he saw the finger marks on his wrist, he had already guessed the reason. But he still asked, "How did you get it?" ”

Erlang was afraid of talking nonsense, so he could only speak, "Sister's fault." ”

Ruyi listened to his complaint, but refused to admit his mistake, so he pursed his lips and said nothing.

The Son of Heaven was amused, "Oh? ”

Erlang said step by step, "I don't want it, she has to give it." He waved his hand and flew the bamboo racket out, "That's it." ”

He deliberately avoided the important and trivialized, hoping to get through.

The Son of Heaven was noncommittal, and only turned to ask Ruyi, "Do you know that you are wrong?" ”

Ruyi was dumbfounded, she thought how could Daddy be unreasonable to this extent, so she said, "Daddy, I didn't-"

The Son of Heaven interrupted her, "Did you do it to your brother?" ”

Erlang knew that it was not good - with Ruyi's sincerity and uprightness, it was impossible for her to lie to the Son of Heaven.

Sure enough, Ruyi didn't think she could deny it at all, she only defended, "But-"

The Son of Heaven was angry and said, "Do you still want to disobey your father?" ”

Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and hung her head in a busy silence - Xu Si emphasized to her many times that she must not disobey the Son of Heaven. He is different from ordinary fathers, he kills and kills, and Chrysostom speaks. Even if he did something wrong and was unreasonable, she couldn't confront him face to face.

But Ruyi was indeed very aggrieved. Although he is the Son of Heaven, he is also her father.

Seeing that she was so aggrieved that she was about to cry, the Son of Heaven softened his voice again, and slowly reasoned with her, "You are a sister, you should let your younger brother go." If your brother is bullied, you should still protect him, how can you beat him? Your aunt let you practice martial arts, is it so that one day you will use your kung fu on your brother? ”

Ruyi felt a little better, but still defended in a low voice, "I didn't hit him, I just took him." And it also lightens the force......"

The Son of Heaven took the bamboo ball in her hand, raised his hand and pinched it, and the bamboo ball broke in response. The Son of Heaven said, "I have also lightened my strength, do you think you can stand it?" You're two years older than him, and you're practicing martial arts. You think you've lightened your strength, but you don't know that it still hurts to fall on him. He refuses to open his mouth to exhale pain, but he is afraid that the cry will attract others and make you rebuked. I asked him bluntly, but he wouldn't confess. He's protecting you, but what about you? ”

He was kind and persuasive, earnestly taught, and every word he said to her was extremely correct. Ruyi listened, and couldn't help but look at Erlang, and regretted it in his heart, "...... It was me who was wrong. Did it hurt you? ”

Jiro moved his arm and said impatiently that he didn't hurt at all.

Although the Son of Heaven was clearly speaking for him, Erlang felt extremely unhappy. He and the Son of Heaven are the same kind of people, and they have been taught by the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven. Unlike Ruyi, he would not be induced lightly, not to mention that he was deliberately provoking from beginning to end of this matter. He could hear the trap in the words of the Son of Heaven.

For example, Ruyi didn't hit him at all, but he accidentally hit Ruyi first. But as soon as the Son of Heaven said it, I am afraid that even Ruyi herself felt that she did beat him, which was very undeserved. Ruyi couldn't "learn martial arts to deal with him" at all, but as soon as the Son of Heaven said it, it was as if she didn't admit her mistake and would really do it one day. And Erlang really wants to protect Ruyi, but his protection of Ruyi is not something worth mentioning. This is just a tacit understanding between their siblings, and Ruyi will definitely do the same. The Son of Heaven took the opportunity to be kind to him, highlighting Ruyi's dullness and ignorance.

These inducements, if combined with corporal punishment, are simply using the method of teaching loyal servants to teach Ruyi.

Almost just when Erlang thought so, the Son of Heaven really said, "If you do something wrong, you will admit punishment, and I will not punish you for kneeling." You just go to the backyard and stand for half an hour, face the wall and think about the past! ”

Erlang's heart sank.

The backyard connects the palace to the north and south, with the courtyard gate on the east side and the wall on the west. It was the height of summer in July, and although it was still in the morning, it was already scorching sun, and Ruyi had not yet had breakfast. Even if you are an adult, if you are exposed to the sun for half an hour, I am afraid that you will collapse.

Such a punishment is very spicy and impressive enough.

Erlang immediately broke his words, "Sister didn't beat me." It's hot, and Sister has no need to eatβ€”"

The Son of Heaven said, "It's not your right to intervene!" If you don't suffer something, will you still be punished? Would your sister like you? ”

Ruyi is the upright gentleman taught by Xu Si, and it doesn't even take too much skill to play this kind of upright gentleman who has not seen the sinister heart of the human heart in his hands.

Ruyi really said, "I shouldn't have done anything to my brother...... should be punished. ”

When the Son of Heaven saw her admit punishment, he said to Erlang again, "Don't stay out of the matter, you are also wrong in this matter." Remembering that your arm was injured, I didn't cure your sin first, and you honestly waited for me to reflect. When I come back, I will slowly interrogate you! ”
