Chapter Twenty-Nine: Drunkenness

Because this was not a formal state banquet, the little emperor did not wear a bright yellow court dress, but only wore a dark robe and a cloak embroidered with gold silk dragon patterns, and let the aunts and aunts of the steward walk towards everyone. Marquis Dingyuan and Liang Jin followed the little emperor's side, and when they saw Yu Zhongjun in a fiery red wedding dress, Marquis Dingyuan smiled and arched his hand, "Congratulations to Lord Yu." ”

"Thank you, Master Hou." Yu Zhongjun returned the salute and thanked him, turned around and was about to salute the little emperor, but he stopped him, "Today is Yu Aiqing's big day, so you don't need to be polite." I came to celebrate today, and by the way, the princess's family came to celebrate. “

When the princess on the side heard this, she gently blessed herself and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." “

Yu Ruoxu couldn't help but look at Liang Jin who was standing next to Dingyuan Hou, but found that he was also looking at her. The eyes of the two people met inadvertently, and Yu Ruoxu suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so she quickly looked away and touched her nose in a wry.

"Your Majesty and the Marquis, please move here." Yu Zhongjun stretched out his hand and made a gesture to lead the little emperor to the flower hall used for worship, and everyone hurriedly made a way and waited for the little emperor and the Marquis of Dingyuan to go first. Yu Ruoxu noticed that there was a familiar figure in Tsing Yi silently following the little emperor's entourage, looking a little like Han Qing.

Why did the little emperor bring him too?

The entire worship hall was completed under the auspices of the ceremonial officer of Taijoji Temple. After worshipping heaven and earth, Yu Zhongjun took the princess to worship the tablet of the ancestors of the Yu family, and when the husband and wife worshipped each other, Yu Ruoxu obviously felt that Yu Zhongjun's movements were stiff, and he almost gritted his teeth and finished worshipping the hall.

For some reason, she didn't feel good about it herself.

The little emperor seems to be a simple spectator today, as if he is admiring Yu Zhongjun's helpless wolf, with a faint smile on his face, which is even more unpredictable than his usual cold eyes. Yu Ruoxu couldn't help but sigh, things gather by like, people by groups, no wonder Song Guiren is more favored than Liang Jieyu, these two people are really the same in terms of liking to appreciate other people's pain.

After worshipping the hall, the princess was sent to the cave room, while Yu Zhongjun stayed in the hall to greet the guests. The little emperor didn't stay long, and after Yu Zhongjun finished toasting, he excused himself to go back to the palace. The male guests chatted happily, and the female relatives chatted some gossip while eating, so they each resigned and went home first. Yu Ruoxu wished that they would leave early, and seeing that the table on the woman's side was empty, she asked Xiu'er and Li Afu to stare at the hall and go to the backyard to take a breath.

Different from the brilliant lights in the front yard, the bamboo forest in the backyard has gradually revealed a cold color under the autumn mood, a gust of wind blows, and the bamboo leaves make a rustling sound, which sounds a little desolate. Yu Ruoxu sat in the gazebo, lying motionless on the stone table, half of her face buried in the crook of her arm, thinking about her thoughts sullenly.

She herself is a little awkward in her heart, let alone her father?

She remembered Xu Xiao'e's silky appearance, but she never liked it in her heart, and her purpose of marrying into the Yu family was not pure...... In this way, the quiet days of this Yu Mansion are over.

And today's women...... What Yu Ruoxu heard the most was getting married, leaving the cabinet, giving birth to a little son, and taking a concubine, I really don't know if it's endless. She had complained to Yue Zirong before, why could women only be confined to these parents every day, wouldn't they be bored?

Yue Zirong was still laughing at her at the time, "Do you think every woman is like you?" “

She never felt special, she just didn't bother to care about that. She didn't understand why, if she didn't act according to the standards set by the world, she would be branded in the name of a strange thing, and she would be stared at and ridiculed for no reason.

She has never hindered anyone, why does everyone think that what she did violated the duty of her daughter's family, whether it is in Langzhong or in the capital, and then discuss and reject it?

Is it because she's different from them? Is it because she is uneasy and anxious that she wants to get married, but she wants to study, go to archery, and discuss some court matters?

Yu Ruoxu couldn't help but be a little frustrated, the only people in this world who could come by her temperament were Yu Zhongjun and Yue Zirong. They never laughed at her or reprimanded her, but they were always used to her, allowing her to read various subsets of scriptures and histories, and even asking her about her views on Jiangshan Sheji.

But now, Yu Zhongjun is in a difficult situation, he is calculated, and Yue Zirong is even more dead, and Yin and Yang are forever separated.

Thinking of this, she felt like she was choked in her heart, she couldn't swallow it no matter what, and it slowly turned into a wave of hatred, which couldn't be shaken away, and she kept slashing, and it kept hovering in her heart.

"Miss Yu is uncomfortable?"

There was a sound of inquiry behind him, Yu Ruoxu straightened up and looked back, it turned out to be Liang Jin.

I saw him holding a pot of wine in his left hand and two wine glasses in his right hand, shaking it at her and smiling, "I think you should need this now." “

"Lord Shizi......" Yu Ruoxu sighed lightly, why are you here now?

"Are you going to ask how I found you?" Liang Jin sat opposite her by herself, put the wine jug and wine glass on the stone table, looked at her, and looked at her with a soft gaze, "I took the wine jug and looked for it one by one along the house like this, thinking that if I had a fate, I would always find you." ”

Yu Ruoxu laughed, how could there be a big night in other people's backyards? Not afraid of bumping into the bride?

"The prince is drunk." Yu Ruoxu laughed.

I saw that his face was slightly red, and his breath still had the fragrance of wine, but his eyes were clear, and he was not drunk.

"I'm not drunk." Liang Jin poured a glass of wine for her and handed it to her left hand, "I don't know why, the more I drink, the more sober I become." ”

Yu Ruoxu took the wine glass and took a sip gently, the mouth was a little spicy, but after sliding through the throat, it was endless. She couldn't help but take a few more sips, and Liang Jin smiled, "This wine is refreshing in the mouth, but the stamina is very strong, be careful not to be greedy for a cup." ”

"Then why are you letting me drink?" Yu Ruoxu doesn't drink alcohol often, and after a few more sips, his brain is a little dizzy, and he even forgets the basic honorific title, "Isn't the prince of the world intentional?" ”

"The only way to solve the worries is Du Kang." Liang Jin sighed leisurely, "I know you're uncomfortable. “

"He who knows me is also the son." Yu Ruoxu poured herself another glass, took one sip after another, and quickly bottomed out, "Do you know how much my father cares about my mother?" For so many years, he was reluctant to continue the strings, because in his heart, no matter how beautiful a woman in the world was, she couldn't compare to my mother's mother. “

Liang Jin didn't speak, just looked at her steadily.

"But why did you force your father to marry her? Daddy obviously doesn't want to! You don't know that since the decree of marriage came down, my father couldn't sleep all night, saying that as soon as he closed his eyes, he would dream of my mother. But why do you still force him so much? Yu Ruoxu seemed to have found an outlet to vent, and said everything in one go.

Liang Jin saw that her eyes were confused, as if the strength of the wine had already risen, and she felt a little bad in her heart, so she hurriedly snatched the wine glass in her hand, "That's enough, don't drink anymore." “

"You don't understand." Yu Ruoxu wanted to reach out and grab the wine glass, Liang Jin simply hid the glass behind him, Yu Ruoxu was a little dazzled after being drunk, so she simply got up and walked to Liang Jin to grab the glass. Liang Jin hurriedly stood up and supported her with his other hand, but he didn't expect Yu Ruoxu to lean softly on his shoulder like this.

After she got drunk, her breath was full of moisture, and Liang Jin could almost feel her breath sweeping to his neck, with some soft wetness, mixed with a faint aroma of wine, which made his heart beat like a drum.

Yu Ruoxu staggered a step, quickly stood up, and spread her hands a little childishly, "Give me back the cup." “

"Then you don't drink any more."

"Why should I listen to you?"

Liang Jin was speechless for a while, he didn't expect the drunk Yu Ruoxu to be so ...... It's hard to coax.

"Shall I pour you the wine then?" Liang Jin couldn't resist her, so he could only take a step back. Yu Ruoxu smiled contentedly, "Xie Shizi." ”

Liang Jin smiled, put the cup on the stone table, poured a little wine into it, and asked, "What did you just say I don't understand?" “

"I said you don't understand what?" Yu Ruoxu's eyes widened and asked him with a puzzled expression.

“…… Never mind. Liang Jin regretted it a little and decided that she would never let her drink again in the future, this time thanks to herself, if she met someone with bad intentions, she would be in big trouble.

"Oh, I remember." Yu Ruoxu looked at Liang Jin's obscure expression, and suddenly realized, "I just wanted to say, you don't understand why I'm sad." “

“…… Yes? Liang Jin didn't know where she had taken the topic again.

"I'm not only sad for my dad today, I'm also sad for myself." Yu Ruoxu's voice gradually lowered, so low that he could barely hear clearly, "You say, why do those ladies and ladies talk about me like that?" “

"What did they say about you?" Liang Jin's heart tightened, and he couldn't help frowning.

"said that I don't think about my daughter's duty every day, and that I was spoiled by my father, and I always talked about things that boudoir women shouldn't talk about." Yu Ruoxu said in a low voice, "I've heard these words since I was a child, so I shouldn't care about them, but ...... But why are you still a little worried? ”

"Lord Shizi, speaking of which, I am still a layman, and I have never been able to see through it."

Liang Jin was stunned, and when she saw her sad expression, she felt a little inexplicably painful in her heart. He seemed to be able to think of her being pointed at and discussed, on the surface she was still indifferent, but she quietly hid her sadness in her heart, thinking that she would hide it from everyone, but in fact, she still couldn't hide it from herself.

After a while, he slowly spoke, "You better not see through it, otherwise you will be in exile." “

"What?"

Liang Jin sighed and said lightly, "I don't want to see you twist your hair and kneel in front of the Buddha to recite Amitabha." ”
