Chapter 34: The Unexpected (2)
The sun was shining brightly outside, and Du Yunjin woke up from a daze dream, Ruyu was waiting by her side with a copper basin.
"Where's the goose?" Du Yunjin dipped his hands into the copper basin, such close-up things have always been done by Yan Hui himself, why did he suddenly change to Ruyu without telling her? She frowned, muttering inwardly.
Ruyu half-knelt beside the bed and replied naturally: "Early in the morning, Manager Guo sent someone to summon the geese back to the past, and he has not returned yet." The slave maid saw that the hour was not early, so she came to the house to wait for the maiden to get up. ”
Du Yunjin glanced at her, only to see her head lowered, as if he was afraid of his next accountability. She doesn't like unfamiliar people to get too close, she has been waiting by her side for so long when she has been in the East Palace, and people like Ruyu who were sent by Xiao Yu only occasionally stay in the house. Her temper is known to everyone in the East Wing, and no one has ever challenged her authority, you must know that when Xiao Yu was poisoned, she cut off his and her wrists without saying a word to save her husband, and few people can catch up with this kind of courage.
"Since it was Manager Guo who called her to go, there must be something important." Du Yunjin was very relieved of Guo Housheng, because she knew that he was a very rare person loyal to Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu let him take the title of the head of the East Palace, and she was also very relieved of him.
She was served by Ruyu to freshen up, Ruyu is the person who has been in the palace for a long time, and her hands are also very dexterous, helping her comb the most popular snake bun in the palace, and then hairpin a small beaded flower, with a crescent white short-arm undergarment, plus a light purple sarro shawl, dignified and delicate, it is indeed the most suitable dress for Du Yunjin.
After tidying up like this, Du Yunjin took Ruyu and walked towards the study. Xiao Yu is in the East Palace, and his favorite place to stay is the study, where the environment is quiet and a good place.
However, as soon as she took a step, Ruyu stood in front of her.
"What are you doing here?" Du Yunjin was a little displeased, and he was quite interested in being corrupted. Xiao Yu didn't come to the East Wing for the past few days, so she didn't have a chance to talk to him about the things that were hundreds of miles away, and she wanted to go to Xiao Yu at this time, one was to meet him, and the other was for the sake of a hundred miles of business.
"Niangniang, the slave maid has already let Xiaohong in the outer courtyard go to the study, and Manager Guo said that His Royal Highness is discussing matters and will not let others disturb him."
"Someone else? Is this concubine his next person? Although Ruyu seemed to have a good heart, she was afraid that Du Yunjin would pounce, but looking at her strong appearance, Du Yunjin was still very dissatisfied in her heart, after all, the hostess of the East Palace was currently the only one herself.
"Niangniang, Your Highness is seeing Lord Baili."
"Baili Light?" Du Yunjin didn't need Ruyu's persuasion this time, so he stopped on his own. Baili Liguang's matter, I don't know if Baili Guang is aware of it, and I am afraid it is very inappropriate to go to Xiao Yu at this time.
"Let's go back." Du Yunjin turned around and walked towards the house. "You asked Xiaohong to go to the study every half an hour, and when she saw Bailiguang gone, she would return."
"Yes." Ruyu still hung her head, looking like a well-behaved and caring maid.
One for two......
Du Yunjin looked at the melon seed skins piled up like a hill on the table in front of him, and looked at the book in front of him absentmindedly.
She had always only had military books in her study in Crescent City, and she had very little time to read, and she either followed Qing Ruofeng around every day to cause trouble, or was taken to the training ground by her father to practice. But now in the East Palace, it is different, she eats and sleeps every day, she thinks about exercising her body, but she is powerless. After a few rounds, she finally gave up the idea of challenging again and nestled in the house obediently.
Embroidery, newly learned, she was very passionate at first, but after the orchids she worked so hard to embroider were ridiculed by the geese as weeds, she was not in such a good mood. She can only lie on the soft couch as a giant rice worm, talk to Xiao Yu during the day, and the rest of the time is to read all kinds of books. Fortunately, Xiao Yu also knew that she was very bored trapped in the East Palace, so Guo Housheng sent her a lot of books, not only military books, but also various miscellaneous books and cultural customs from all over the world.
Du Yunjin is really interested, especially those books with characters from all over the world, although he can no longer freely go out of the palace to travel to those places, he is finally addicted to reading them.
But today she doesn't seem to be in that mood, two hours have passed, and Xiaohong's return is still Bailiguang has not left. is so obsessed, if she hadn't known that Bailiguang had a person of interest, she would have suspected that Bailiguang had a habit of breaking sleeves and admired Xiao Yu. She summed up that the people she liked must be good, and they were all loved by everyone, and she didn't remember that Baili was threatened by Xiao Yu to join the gang at the beginning.
"Baili Guang hasn't left yet?" Du Yunjin asked lazily towards Ruyu, who was making tea on the side.
Ruyu handed the freshly brewed tea to her hand and whispered back, "Not yet." ”
Du Yunjin opened the lid of the tea, smelled the fragrance of the tea inside, and asked as if he remembered something: "Yan Hui hasn't come back yet?" ”
Ruyu turned around and looked at the empty courtyard, the sunlight spilled down through the bare branches, reflecting a little spot of light, looking very desolate in winter.
"Not yet."
Hearing this answer, Du Yunjin's eyebrows furrowed slightly. Yan Hui has been to Guo Housheng for two hours, but there is still no trace, what does Guo Housheng need his dowry maid to do for so long, this is strange.
"Let Xiaohong ask Manager Guo, when will Yanhui come back? Concubine Ben waited for her to add stitches. ”
"Yes." Ruyu bent down and bowed her head and exited the door, she beckoned to Xiaohong, who was waiting in the courtyard, and explained according to Du Yunjin's words.
Somehow, Du Yunjin's heart suddenly became very uneasy, as if something big was about to happen.
Just when she was very worried, Xiaohong trotted all the way back to the east wing, and before she reached the door, she shouted inside: "Niang Niang is not good, not good!" ”
When Du Yunjin heard this, his heart instantly became cold, and he quickly got up and walked towards the door.
"What does it look like to be flustered!"
Outside the door, Ruyu was reprimanding Xiaohong, the little girl lowered her head aggrievedly, and didn't dare to refute, until she saw the corner of Du Yunjin's skirt and said: "Niangniang, go and see Sister Yanhui, Manager Guo is about to beat her board!" Niangniang is a golden nobleman, maybe I don't know that a meal of the board will save half a life. ”
"What?" Du Yunjin also panicked, although Yan Hui was worse than Yu in handling the affairs of the palace, he was also a cautious person, how could he be beaten by Guo Housheng?
