When Xiao Yu came back from the palace, he was close to Zishi. As usual, he sent Guo Housheng outside the door of the east wing to inform Yan Hui, saying that he would not disturb Du Yunjin's rest and rest alone in the study.

When Yan Hui heard this sentence again, Ben's face full of joy suddenly collapsed. She thought that Xiao Yu had passed last night, and she was at the age of blood and strength, she would definitely know about Du Yunjin's marrow, but she didn't know that it would be such a result, and she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged in her heart.

There was a low voice at the door, and Du Yunjin heard it clearly. She thought that the incident that happened during the day must be talked about to Xiao Yu, otherwise if she suffers a loss in the future, it will be that she has not done well enough. She has something hidden in her heart, so naturally she can't sleep well. As soon as Guo Housheng entered the courtyard, she knew that someone was coming, and when she heard his deliberately low voice, she guessed that Xiao Yu must have spent the night in the study again.

She heard Guo Housheng say something worried about disturbing her rest, in fact, she wanted to blurt out that she hadn't rested yet, she was still waiting for Ah Yu. But in that case, after all, there is some Meng Lang, no matter how informal she is, she still has the reserve of a woman, so she has to lie stiffly on the bed in the inner room, turning over and over and can't sleep peacefully.

After Guo Housheng finished sending a message to Yan Hui, he returned the way he came, and after taking a few steps, he heard the sound of the door closing behind him, he quietly slowed down, listened carefully for a while, and after making sure that there was no one else in the courtyard, he turned around and burrowed into the black beside him.

The candle flame flickered, and the woman lowered her head, doing the work in her hand with stitches and threads. She seemed to be extremely serious, and never looked up.

The door creaked, and the woman raised her head and exclaimed, "Why are you here?" ”

The visitor dusted off the grass clippings when he passed by the bushes, and replied lightly: "If I don't come, you don't know how long you will live!" ”

As if she had been caught and hurt her feet, the woman bit her lip aggrievedly but did not speak out to defend herself. She understands that her identity does not allow any delusions, but unfortunately, if people can control their feelings, then she is not the one who is still here.

"Look at your face, do you really want people to see it?" Guo Housheng sat on the stool next to him and reprimanded softly: "You appear in front of her every day, if she notices that you are wrong, I am afraid that she will never stay by your side again, and then your infatuation will be broken!" ”

In the face of his reprimand, Ruyu did not refute it out loud, because what he said was all the truth, all for her good.

Guo Housheng rubbed the string of small leaf red sandalwood beads in his hand, glanced at her before continuing: "In the past two days, you have been vigilant, pay special attention to the actions of Yan Hui, the master has already instructed that he does not want to keep that obstructive maid anymore. ”

Hearing this, Ruyu suddenly raised her head and looked at Guo Housheng in disbelief: "Brother, didn't you say that you couldn't move the people around her?" Why do you want to get rid of the geese again? ”

"Last night's incident was not what the master wanted, but was drugged by this dead girl. The master didn't move the people around her because of anything else, but because he didn't want to make her more stiff. Now that dead girl is getting bolder and bolder, she dares to hit the master with the idea, this time it is fortunate that Ling Qi was outside the window at that time to remind the master to get out of trouble in time, if Ling Qi is not there, it will cause any consequences, it will be strict! If she is still kept, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no more exaggerated next time! ”

It turned out that he was not willing to do so that night, but was drugged by the wild goose. The sour bitterness in Ruyu's heart faded a large part in an instant, and she knew that he didn't look down on a woman like Du Yunjin.

"I know your thoughts, and my master knows them. You are serving in her house now, to pave the way for the future house, you must not show the slightest mistake, otherwise you will never have a chance to go to the master's side again. You have been a person who doesn't need to worry about it since you were a child, you can take care of this matter yourself, and your brother can only help you here. ”

Guo Houchang sighed long, to be honest, he didn't expect Ruyu to climb the big tree of Xiao Yu. After so many years of palace life, he knew in his heart that Xiao Yu could not be his sister's lover, but he only had one sister left in the world, and how could he not agree to her repeated requests.

"Brother, please rest assured, Ruyu understands what she should and shouldn't do, and there will be no next time for this kind of thing."

"The master will be the one who will ascend to a high position in the future, and there will be more than one woman around him, there will be a lot of this kind of thing in the future. If you can't tolerate it, then while the master has not yet offered to take you into the house, my brother can ask the master for another favor......"

"No!" Ruyu interrupted Guo Housheng's words, looked at him firmly, and said, "Brother, the master finally allowed my matter, and I must not give up this hard-won opportunity." ”

Guo Housheng looked at her refusing to back down, and sighed again in his heart.

"By the way, brother, I've been sitting in the East Wing for a long time today."

"Hundred-mile? Didn't she come to the crown princess often? Guo Housheng poured a new cup of tea for himself, and he would come to the East Palace to find Du Yunjin every once in a hundred miles, which is something that everyone knows.

"But it's a little strange today," Ruyu recalled the scene at that time, and said slowly: "On weekdays, when she came, I also went into the house to serve tea, but this time when I brought the tea in, I was blocked out of the house by the wild goose. I had some doubts in my heart, so I deliberately slowed down and listened to the conversation inside that mentioned King Qing. Later, when he walked away, his eyes were red, as if he was very sad. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Guo Housheng fell into his own contemplation, he had seen it for hundreds of miles, he was a heartless person, how could he come out of Du Yunjin's room with red eyes? also mentioned King Qing, I heard that King Qing has also frequently started to contact Baili Light recently, it seems that it is not simple.

"I'll tell my master about this." Guo Housheng stood up and instructed Ruyu to say "be careful" before pushing the door out.

Ruyu looked at the work in her hand and smiled faintly, and on the snow-white handkerchief were two mandarin ducks playing in the water with their necks crossed. Compared with Du Yunjin's crooked embroidery that can't see the graphics, the jade handkerchief can be regarded as a fine product. What's the use of having a good family background, what's the use of leading troops to fight, Du Yunjin will never understand that the taller a man is, the more he likes the delicate little jasper. Even Liang Naixin, with the little calculation in her heart before, will always be rejected by Xiao Yu.

One day, the handkerchief that Xiao Yu was carrying was embroidered by her, not Du Yunjin's unsightly craftsmanship, nor Liang Naixin's delicate and hypocritical craftsmanship.
