Seeing that the wedding date is approaching, these days, there is no movement on the Ru Mansion, and Ru Xi and Qingliu have a few quiet days.

Every day, Ru Xi would go to Jian Xue's room to sit for a while, and sometimes, she would forget the hour when she sat down.

At lunchtime, Aoyagi walked in and interrupted Ru Xi's contemplation, "Is Miss eating here or ......?"

Ru Xi came back to his senses, "Just use it here, and you can do it too." ”

Aoyagi smiled and nodded: "Okay!" ”

The two sat down at the table, and even when they ate, Ru Xi often lost his mind.

Seeing that she had been picking up rice and there was no food in the bowl, Aoyagi sighed and shook her head, sandwiched the vegetables into Ru Xi's bowl, Ru Xi raised her head and smiled, took a piece of fragrant lotus root and sent it to Aoyagi's bowl, and said, "Jian Xue, you can also eat more." ”

After speaking, Ru Xi's withdrawn chopsticks froze in mid-air, his expression was stunned, and he smiled: "Look at my memory, Jian Xue is no longer there." ”

"Miss." Aoyagi lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes, firstly because she was sad, and secondly, because she was moved, she began to be a servant girl at the age of ten, and she had never seen a master who had such feelings for his subordinates.

"Crying for what? Hurry up and eat. Ru Xi pushed Qingliu, Qingliu raised her head, and said with a smile: "Miss also eats, Jian Xue is gone, in the future, I will always be by Miss's side instead of Jian Xue." ”

Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Ru Xi grabbed Aoyagi's hand and said, "Thank you." ”

Aoyagi shook his head, Ru Xi smiled and said: "I grew up with Jian Xue, I was born with my mother died, my father ignored me, it can be said that Jian Xue is my only relative, even closer than relatives, we share weal and woe, weal and woe, we've been through the blink for ten years, I never thought that one day, she would leave suddenly, I studied medicine for several years, saved countless people's lives, but only couldn't save her life." ”

"Miss! You can't be blamed for that. ”

Ru Xi shook her head: "Jian Xue was killed by me, that arrow, Jian Xue can be easily avoided, I can too, but I lost my mind, and at that moment of distraction, Jian Xue took her own life." ”

And the culprit who made her lose her mind was Bai Liyu, she didn't want to hate him, she really didn't want to, she could only hate herself.

Aoyagi shook Ru Xi's hand back and persuaded: "Miss, Jian Xue will definitely not blame you, if she knows that you blame yourself so much, she will definitely not feel good in her heart." ”

"Yes! Jian Xue thinks about me in everything, and she definitely doesn't want to see me sad. Ru Xi pulled out a smile, the more indifferent she was on the surface, the more she laughed happily, and the more bitter she was in her heart.

"The thirteenth lady of Rufu obeys the order."

There was a voice in the courtyard, Ru Xi and Aoyagi were stunned at the same time, and hurriedly walked out.

When Gonggong Lu saw the two of them, he cleared his throat and said, "Pass on the emperor's edict, and the thirteenth lady of Rufu will enter the palace immediately to face the saint." ”

Face saint? Ru Xi glanced at Aoyagi, who shook her head slightly.

Lu Gong said fairly: "Miss Thirteen, please!" The emperor is still waiting. ”

"I'll go back as soon as I go." Ru Xi said, and explained a few more words to Qingliu before entering the palace with Father-in-law Lu.

This is the first time Ru Xi has entered the palace, sitting in the sedan chair only to hear the sound of staggered footsteps, Fang wanted to look out, but was stopped by Gonggong Lu: "Wait for Ming'er to enter the palace, you can see it for as long as you want." ”

Ru Xi flattened her mouth and sat straight without squinting.

After getting off the sedan chair, Ru Xi followed behind Gonggong Lu, his eyes looked around, this palace was really magnificent, and it was even more brilliant than what was played on TV.

Gonggong Lu said as he walked: "This palace is no better than outside the palace, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and when you meet the emperor, you must remember to say less and think more, and before you say anything, you must think twice." ”

As he was talking, he turned into a quiet courtyard, and when Ru Xi looked up, he saw the words "Imperial Study" hanging on the pavilion in front of him.

Just like that, this imperial study is about the same size as the Ru Mansion.

In front of the door, Grandpa Lu said, "You are waiting here." With that, he walked in, and after a while, he walked out and said, "The emperor let you in." ”

Ru Xi nodded, lifted her skirt and stepped up the steps.

As soon as he stepped into the imperial study, the door behind him closed in response, and Ru Xi stood still by the door and looked up secretly.

Directly in front, in front of the carved dragon sandalwood case, a majestic man is sitting on his lap, with a golden dragon crown and a bright yellow dragon robe, and his clear facial features are a little similar to Baili Yu.

When he saw the stern gaze he projected, Ru Xi lowered his head in fright.

Xiaobu stepped forward and knelt down: "The courtier Ru Xi has seen the emperor. ”

Bailiyan didn't retract his gaze, and kept looking at Ru Xi, this woman was really as Grandpa Lu said, there was a red mark on her face, although it was not too scary, but it was also ...... It's hard to get into the hall of elegance.

No wonder Baili Yu will withdraw from the marriage, but he has already withdrawn from the marriage, why don't you want her to marry Bai Liyi?

Why did Baili ask him for marriage again?

Could it be that the world has changed, and everyone doesn't love beautiful women and ugly women?

Things seem to be a bit messy.

Ru Xi knelt for a while and didn't hear Bailiyan's voice, so she said again: "The courtier Ru Xi has seen the emperor. "This time, the volume was raised a bit.

Only then did Bailiyan come back to his senses and said, "Get up! ”

Ru Xi got up, bowed his head and stood silently, Bailiyan pointed to the chair on the side and said, "Give me a seat." ”

"Your Majesty."

Think less and think more, right? Then she really took her silence as golden.

Ru Xi thought about it, and heard Bai Liyan say: "I helped you marry the prince, are you reluctant?" ”

Ru Xi didn't react for a while, isn't this marriage contract since ancient times all the orders of her parents, the words of the matchmaker? What's more, it's the emperor, who dares to disobey the holy decree?

The sudden questioning of what she meant made her scratch her head.

Bailiyan thought that Ru Xi didn't dare to say it, so he smiled and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it, I forgive you for your innocence." ”

Ru Xi calmed down and replied: "The courtiers thank the lord Longen, isn't it reluctant? ”

"Is that serious?" There was suspicion in Bailiyan's voice.

Seeing Ru Xi nodding, Bailiyan said again: "Before, I gave you and Prince Mingxuan a marriage, and now I help you marry the crown prince. ”

When Ru Xi heard this, he hurriedly got up and knelt down: "The emperor is strict." ”

"Get up, don't be too nervous." Bailiyan said with a smile: "When the marriage was given, the prince Mingxuan knew, and the prince also knew, but you didn't know, I thought about it like this, and I felt that you should be the most wronged, so I called you into the palace to give you a chance, a chance to decide your future." ”

Ru Xi raised his head suddenly, with a dazed expression, Baili Yan said: "If you have to choose, between the prince of Mingxuan and the crown prince, who are you willing to marry?" ”

What's going on? Ru Xi was puzzled, and she didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Bailiyan's gourd, and who did Bailiyan want her to marry? If you say it wrong, will your head move?

If she follows the true wishes of her heart, she naturally wants to marry Bai Liyu.

However, after knowing that her mother was killed by the eldest lady, and after being killed by an arrow in the snow, the reality forced her to live according to her own wishes.

If she doesn't marry the prince, then Jian Xue will be sacrificed in vain, which is just the intention of the eldest lady and everyone in the Mu family.

If she marries the prince, then she and Baili Yu can only have a shallow relationship.
