Maybe the weather was too hot, Yu Ruoxu tossed and turned on the bed until the sky was white, she really couldn't sleep, so she simply got up and washed, then leaned on the couch, picked up the book next to the pillow, and looked at it with or without a match.

Seeing her slightly pale look, Xiu'er couldn't help but be a little worried, "Miss, if you have nothing to do today, let's get some sleep." It's very hurtful to stay up like this. ”

Yu Ruoxu didn't seem to hear it, her eyes stared straight at the page of the book, and she didn't see her turn the next page after half an hour. Seeing her like this, Xiu'er sighed, added another cup of soothing tea, and closed the door and retreated.

Now that the household department and his father are arguing in the court, Dingyuan Hou said that he was sick at this time, and he just didn't want to wade into this troubled water.

Dingyuan Marquis...... How do you get him to come out and take a stand?

Yu Ruoxu had a headache when she thought about it, and couldn't help but reach out and press her temples, only to hear someone clasp the door, and then the butler's voice came, "Miss, someone is coming to the palace, and I invite Miss to the front hall to meet guests." ”

Someone from the palace?

Yu Ruoxu hurriedly got up and said, "Okay, let the guests wait for a while, and I'll change my clothes and come out." ”

Like last time, it was Aunt Huang who was next to the Queen Mother who sent the Queen Mother's edict, saying that it was hot today, and Miss Yu was summoned to the palace to enjoy the coolness.

The garden is surrounded by tall camphor trees, which bloom in the summer, sprinkling the coolness of the ground. The lotus pond is in the northwest corner of the garden, and the large lotus flowers in full bloom are delicate and delicate, accompanied by the fresh lotus fragrance, but it has gone to a lot of summer heat.

Yu Ruoxu rested on the water pavilion with the queen mother, the weather was hot, the queen mother only wore a water-green palace dress, and the jewelry also faded away, only using hostas and jade bracelets, but still couldn't hide the luxury of the whole body. Song Guiren is still in the posture of a little daughter, her little face is so hot that she is flushed, and she crunches beside the Queen Mother and says some jokes, which makes the Queen Mother happy.

Yu Ruoxu glanced at it, and there was no Liang Jieyu in the crowd of attendants.

She couldn't help asking, "I wonder why Liang Jieyu didn't come to enjoy the flowers together today?" ”

"That girl has been afraid of heat since she was a child, so she hasn't been feeling good lately, and the mourning family let her rest in her own room." The Queen Mother replied lightly.

In this way, Liang Jieyu is really sick.

Yu Ruoxu's heart moved, "I see, in such a hot and humid weather, the mother's jade body is delicate, and there is a lot of maintenance." After that, he thought about it again, "The folk girl wants to go to see Niangniang, I don't know if it's appropriate?" ”

The Queen Mother looked at her the same, "It's okay, it's hard for you to have a heart." “

For some reason, Yu Ruoxu felt that the Queen Mother's eyes seemed to be floating with broken ice, even on a hot summer day, it could make people feel a chill in their hearts. "Empress Dowager Xie." Yu Ruoxu got up and left the gazebo.

"......Huh" Yu Ruoxu felt that she had finally breathed a sigh of relief, compared with the Queen Mother who always had a coldness, and Song Guiren, who hid a knife in her smile, she was still more willing to talk to Liang Jieyu, who was sick.

Liang Jieyu's Chonghua Palace is not far from the Imperial Garden, but the sun is too poisonous, and Yu Ruoxu's cheeks are slightly hot.

There are a lot of ice cubes in Chonghua Palace, so it looks exceptionally cool. Liang Jieyu was still pale, leaning on the beauty couch, looking embarrassed. The palace maid next to her was fanning her, and there were still half of the decoctions and a few plates of candied fruit left on the table.

Yu Ruoxu saluted and said, "The folk girl asks Jieyu for peace." “

When Liang Jieyu saw her coming, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Miss Yu is here, please get up quickly." After struggling to get up from the beauty couch, Yu Ruoxu hurriedly stepped forward, "Niangniang is unwell, it's better not to get up." If the illness worsens, it will be a great sin for the people's daughters. ”

Liang Jieyu smiled weakly, "If you have the heart to come here, most of the illness in this palace will be cured." ”

"The mother is in love." Yu Ruoxu was puzzled, she always felt that something was wrong with Liang Jieyu's unusually intimate appearance. However, looking at the miserable white face in front of her, like a flower about to wither, she still softened her heart and said softly, "Even if it is for the Queen Mother, for the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, the mother must take care of her body." ”

"Hongu understands in his heart." Liang Jieyu sighed, "This is a heart disease in this palace, how can it be that a few decoctions can be used to seek medical treatment?" ”

Yu Ruoxu sighed in her heart, "Is there anything bothering Niangniang?" ”

Liang Jieyu's eyes darkened, and her originally sparkling eyes suddenly lost their brilliance, "It's nothing, it's just this disease, I always think of the days when I was still in the Hou Mansion before, carefree, but comfortable." ”

When Yu Ruoxu heard this, her heart was panicked. It's obviously a fourteen-year-old girl, still the age of a flower, but this leisurely sentence seems to have experienced decades of past and present lives.

“…… Niangniang is still young, why do you talk about reminiscing about the past? ”

Liang Jieyu smiled, "That's right, it sounds like this palace has become a deep palace woman in her seventies and eighties." After speaking, she seemed to inadvertently answer, "Don't hide it from Miss Yu, before entering the palace, I used to pretend to be a little maid and secretly went to Langzhong Hechuan Academy with my father and brother." “

Yu Ruoxu suddenly came to her senses, no wonder when they met for the first time, Liang Jieyu would suddenly ask her about Hechuan Academy.

Hechuan Academy is famous, there are many famous scholars, every year there are indeed many people who come from other places, or for study tours, or to visit famous teachers, although Yu Ruoxu's days in the academy are not long, but I have also seen a lot of dignitaries who come to ask.

But she didn't know that the Marquis of Dingyuan and the prince had also come. "Oh? What does the lady think of the hometown of the people's daughter? ”

"It's a place where people are outstanding." Liang Jieyu seemed to have fallen into a memory from a long time ago, "It was when Bengong was ten years old, my father took my brother to visit Mr. Yue Chengxiang Yue, Bengong cried and made a fuss and must go with him, my father didn't allow it, but my brother couldn't take Bengong, so he let Bengong pretend to be his little scholar, so he secretly mixed into the academy." ”

"After meeting Mr. Yue, this palace realized what it means to be a real 'Great Confucian'." Liang Jieyu said, and suddenly a subtle flush appeared on her face, "At that time, Mr. Yue took his son-in-law to talk about the Tao with his father and brother, and talked about the Book of Changes and the Records of History, and talked for a whole day. If it weren't for the fact that someone came to look for his son-in-law in the evening, I am afraid that he would have to continue to talk about it for a night. ”

"Son-in-law?" Yu Ruoxu was stunned for a moment, and asked softly, "Is it Mr. Yue's son-in-law, Rong Gongzi?" ”

Liang Jieyu nodded, "Yes." ”

Yu Ruoxu's face became trance-like.

Yue Zirong, she actually mentioned Yue Zirong.

She finally forgot about that amazing and brilliant young man, but with her gentle words, the memories of the past suddenly came alive in her mind.

"Senior Sister Yu, are you lazy again? Is there a disciple rule that needs to be punished ten times? ”

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, take all things as dogs, Senior Sister Yu, if we encounter such a world, we will definitely have a fight."

"This eunuch has been destroyed, and the court is facing the danger of a relative in power, senior sister, I have to think about it......"

She remembered everything he had said, and she didn't forget it, and she didn't dare to forget it.

"Miss Yu?" Liang Jieyu saw that her face was uncertain, so she asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Yu Ruoxu woke up in shock, "It's okay, I just listened to Niangniang talk about Hechuan Academy and remembered some past events." “

Liang Jieyu looked at her for a long time, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Yue...... Are you okay with your father-in-law? “

"Sir, he is old, and his legs and feet are a little weak, so he hasn't taught in the academy in the past few years." Yu Ruoxu replied, Liang Jieyu thought she would continue, but after a while, Yu Ruoxu didn't say a second sentence.

Liang Jieyu couldn't help but ask, "What's that...... What about the son-in-law? ”

Yu Ruoxu suddenly felt a dense pain in her heart, as if she was roasted on a small fire, there was no blood, but the painful breathing stopped, "The folk girl and the son-in-law don't know each other, so they don't know very well." “

Liang Jieyu was a little excited, "Impossible, he is the senior brother of Hechuan Academy, how can you not know him?!" Could it be that there is something unspeakable? “

Yu Ruoxu said lightly, "What the folk girl said is true, and she doesn't dare to deceive her mother." “

Liang Jieyu suddenly waved her hand, and the book spread out on the beauty couch swept away, and smashed on the ground with a "bang" sound, "You dare to say that everything is true?!" This palace sees that you are obviously hiding something! After saying that, she gasped loudly as if she couldn't breathe. The palace maid who was waiting on the side was so frightened that she hurriedly calmed her down, "Niangniang, the imperial doctor said that you can't be angry......"

"Go away!" Liang Jieyu pushed the palace maid away, her cheekbones flushed with anger, but there were tears in her eyes, "This palace just wants to know the news of an old man, why do you all have to come to perfunctory me!" “

Yu Ruoxu had never seen Liang Jieyu like this, as if the dignified and silent shell had cracked a hole, revealing the fragile soul inside. That "you" are the Queen Mother? Or Dingyuanhou? Or her brother Liang Jin?

"Mother." Yu Ruoxu got up, "The folk girl is guilty, please forgive the mother." ”

Liang Jieyu leaned on the beauty couch, looked at her steadily, then closed her eyes, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks, "That's it, you should step back first." ”

Yu Ruoxu blessed her body, "Take care." Then he followed the palace maid and left Chonghua Palace.

All the way to the queen mother's kneeling, trance walked to the palace gate, saw Yu Ruoxu's face was pale, and her body was a little unstable, Xiu'er who was guarding the palace gate was startled, and hurriedly helped her into the car, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Yu Ruoxu shook her head, "It's okay, it's too hot." ”

Xiu'er was a little confused, so "Miss must have not rested well last night, so don't follow the master to watch the excerpts tonight, let's rest early." ”

Yu Ruoxu said "grace" absentmindedly, leaned on the carriage, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

When she first saw Liang Jieyu, Yu Ruoxu was surprised by the old age that did not match her age. Unexpectedly, there was a person hidden in her heart, it was the handsome young man who appeared in those years as Miss Houfu.
