"Looks like I didn't have a chance to see it." Her face was still very calm, even though she was already angry in her heart, "I heard that when the first emperor rewarded you with a jade pendant, you let this piece of jade only be passed on to your wife, but is it true?" ”

"Nothing."

Fu Yunhuang didn't dare to hear about this matter from the community, and asked out in a moment, seeing his unthinking answer, she also knew that she had done something that had lost her identity.

She is a very observant person, but in the face of Shi Ran, all her skills seem to be useless.

"My lord, this is a robe made for you, Lian'er is too rough, so I will take it and change it." Her voice was as soft as a gust of wind.

As she spoke, she stretched out the brocade robe, and couldn't help but feel a little smug in her eyes, "My lord, can it fit?" ”

Shi Ran didn't raise his eyes, "Miss Fu doesn't have to do this. ”

Her face turned yellow and white, she has such a noble status, who doesn't coax her and offer her like a bodhisattva, and only he snubs her like this, is it that in his eyes, she is not even as good as that lowly slave and maid?

"It's Lian'er's girl who can't do well, so she begged me, and I just looked at her begging pitiful. I just agreed. There was a bit of grievance in her voice, "I think it's actually a lot of trouble for me." ”

Obviously, she had to take it, but at this time, it was all on Lian Zhi'er's body.

Shi Ran didn't have half pity for the beauty's sadness, he still looked at the scroll on the table, the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, but there was a stereotype that did not match his age.

"Although that girl is good, she is too rough to do things, and my lord is in this bitter cold place. Originally, it was better to suffer than in Beijing, so it was better to choose someone who was more careful. ”

"She's fine." He always spoke so succinctly.

Fu Yunhuang's face became more and more ugly, and he felt more and more that Shi Ran treated Lian Zhi'er differently from others, thinking about the situation when he hugged her into the courtyard today, jealousy blinded her reason.

"Today she is sick, and there is no one around you to bring tea and water, so let me serve you today." When she said this, there was a hint of coquettishness in her eyes.

However, Shi Ran's next sentence almost made her fall into the abyss, almost humiliated.

"I don't have anything to do here, it's just that Lian'er's medicine has not been fried, and I am tired."

Even if Fu Yunhuang wanted to pretend to be gentle and virtuous in front of Shi Ran, how could she decoct a maid, she couldn't help but have slightly red circles in her eyes, and said with patience, "My lord, forgive me." I've never done any of these things, and if it's broken, won't it delay Lian'er's girl's illness. ”

Shi Ran didn't say anything, just stood up and flicked his sleeve.

"Where are you going?" Fu Yunhuang's face was full of surprise.

"Decoction of medicine." With those two words, he turned and wanted to leave.

In Fu Yunhuang's eyes, Lian Zhi'er was just mud under her feet, and Shi Dye took care of that woman like this.

"Why do you treat me like this, we have a marriage contract." A cold smile appeared at the corner of her lips, but her voice was clearly full of grievances. "Since you don't have any affection for me, why do you agree to this marriage?"

"Parents' orders." There was no ripple in his voice.

"It turns out that the adult is such a filial person, if Mrs. Shi let you have those fans in the Qinglou, will you agree?" How could the daughter of a big family talk about the women in those fireworks lands, and in a hurry, she actually said the wrong thing.

"Yes." Shi Ran's voice was solemn, "Even if you want to marry, isn't it the same who you marry?" ”

Grievances and anger all appeared on this beautiful face, so beautiful that it seemed a little distorted.

Shi Ran turned around and left, but went directly to the kitchen.

The gentleman is far away from cooking, and he is a gentleman who shocks the world, and he actually did such a thing at this time, he obviously thought about that woman.

She turned to leave, but suddenly saw a painting resting on the dyeing table, which was only half painted but already lifelike.

But I saw a lonely lotus flower born in a pool of water, which was pure and proud, and did not touch the dust.

The corners of her lips curled into a cold smile, and then she picked up the pen that had not dried, but with a few strokes, she sketched another lotus flower.

She rolled up the painting, took it and went to Lian Zhi'er's house.

Fu Yunhuang didn't knock on the door, but walked in by himself, but saw that Lian Zhi'er was already asleep with his eyes closed, and his sleeves were blown up by the wind, revealing a snow-white arm.

She only then took a delicate hint of the branches, but saw the sick woman lying on the bed, although she was thin, but there was a merry and agile between her eyebrows and eyes, like a bright sun, such as the morning glow, only to look at it, and then she couldn't take her eyes off it.

seemed to feel the hot gaze, and Lian Zhi'er trembled in his sleep, but slowly opened his eyes.

"Miss Fu." Lian Zhi'er's voice was hoarse.

Fu Yunhuang's face was full of affectionate smiles. He smiled and took the painting in his hand, unfolded it in front of Lian Zhi'er, and then said with a smile, "This is for me by adults." ”

Lian Zhi'er's eyes fell on the painting, she had indeed seen it a few times in Shi Dye's study, but he was busy with official business and never finished the painting.

"This is the meaning of the same heart of husband and wife." Fu Yunhuang deliberately explained as if he was afraid that she wouldn't understand.

Lian Zhi'er only felt that his heart was a little dull, and even his head hurt more and more.

It turned out that where he was cold-hearted and cold-hearted, it was clear that he hadn't met the person he liked in his heart, and when he saw a beauty like Miss Fu, he understood the love in the world.

"Things in this world are only in one place, and only you and him are in one place." Lian Zhi'er blessed them from the bottom of her heart, even though her heart was like a knife at this time.

Fu Yunhuang's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of pride, but he stretched out his hand very gently, "I heard that this adult's jade pendant is going to be given to the future wife, I asked him just now, but it was given to you by mistake, I am really embarrassed to come back, please give me the jade pendant, I will give the girl some treasures and jewelry in the future." ”

Lian Zhi'er only felt that his heart was torn apart, it turned out that he regretted it, yes. This was originally what he wanted to give Fu Yunhuang, why did he want to occupy it and refuse to let go.

She slowly handed the jade pendant into her hand.

Fu Yunhuang's face was a touch of pride, but he quickly put away the jade pendant, comforted Lian Zhi'er again, and then left.

Fu Yunhuang was walking into the courtyard, but he saw Shi Ran coming with a medicine bowl, he didn't seem to be good at it, and his moon-white clothes were stained with a large patch of black.

"Your Excellency." She walked up slightly and saluted, then took out the painting in her hand, and only slowly unfolded it, "I saw that the adult's painting was not finished, so I added a few strokes and brought it to the adult to see." ”

Shi Ran's gaze swept over the lotus flower, but his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

He never allowed others to touch his paintings, and Fu Yunhuang obviously didn't know. And this lifelike and Dilian, he doesn't like it even more, although Fu Yunhuang's painting is good, compared with him, it is not inferior.

"Lose it." His voice was extremely cold.

"Yes." Fu Yunhuang's eyes were slightly red, and he couldn't help but roll down tears.

And at this moment, I saw that something fell from her cuffs, and Shi Ran's gaze couldn't help but become more and more cold.

At this time, Lian'er had to give it to me, she said that this was a piece of her heart, and I wish us to grow old together. It's hard for me to refuse. She smiled, still generous and decent.

Shi Ran didn't say anything, nor did he ask for the jade pendant back, but said lightly, "It's already noon, someone will come over to deliver food in a while, if I see you standing here, I'm afraid there will be an accident." ”

Fu Yunhuang is more afraid of being seen by others than him, and if he is captured and returns to the capital, he is afraid that he will marry Ruan Lu.

She hurriedly took her hat and left in a hurry.

Shi Ran's gaze was a little complicated, and when she walked into the house with the medicine bowl, she saw Lian Zhi'er still lying crookedly, her little face was terrible and pale, and she was even sicker than in the morning.

He had something to ask, but when he saw her like this, he only sighed lightly.

"Drink the medicine." He brought the medicine bowl to her.

Lian Zhi'er sat up at this time. was about to pick up the medicine bowl, but saw that he was already holding it in his hand and sent the medicine bowl over.

She had to lean over slowly, and swallowed the bowl of bitter medicine with her hand, and she frowned bitterly.

However, after taking the medicine, she felt that her body was better, and she finally had some strength.

"Why do you want to be so nice to me?" Lian Zhi'er suddenly muttered, "What if I want to stay by your side like that again?" Why do you have to push me into the abyss again and again, and then you let go of the cliff with peace of mind, and I am crushed to pieces?! ”

Shi Ranrao has read a lot of books and understood a lot of truths, but he still doesn't know what he means.

"That's why you gave that jade pendant to someone?" His voice was soft, without any irritation.

"I just paid back what I was supposed to pay." Lian Zhi'er gritted her teeth and sat up reluctantly, "In the future, you will still be a scholar, I am serving your slave, and please don't do anything that transgresses the rules." ”

Shi Ran looked at her stubborn and somewhat weird little face, and nodded indifferently, "Okay." ”

——————

For several days in a row, Lian Zhi'er only took care of herself and decocted medicine for herself every day, and her illness gradually recovered.

Even she herself couldn't help but sigh that her life was tenacious and terrible, just like the vast grassland in the north. Although it is covered by ice and snow in the cold winter, it will still come back to life when the spring is warm.

However, Fu Yunhuang has become more and more attentive in the past few days, and on this day, she actually said that she would use lotus seeds to make porridge, and only asked Lian Zhi'er to help her peel lotus seeds.

After all, she is also the master, even if the lotus seed is very difficult to peel, Lian Zhi'er still responded to this errand.

When she finally finished cooking porridge in the kitchen, she saw Fu Yunhuang coming over. Directly serve the porridge away.

Lian Zhi'er suddenly thought that he forgot to add some sugar to it, otherwise it would be too bitter, so he chased after him.

However, when she walked to the door, she heard Fu Yunhuang's gentle voice coming from inside the house, "Master Shi, this is what I specially boiled for you, and even the lotus seeds were peeled by me." ”

Lian Zhi'er suddenly felt a little ridiculous, and even a little weird. She suddenly felt that even if the woman in the house was born well, she didn't have to feel inferior in front of her.

saw Lian Zhi'er walking in slowly.

When Fu Yunhuang heard the voice, his face suddenly changed, "Why are you here?" ”

There was a little uneasiness in her voice, and she didn't seem to be sure how much she had listened to Shicai's words.

Lian Zhi'er walked over slowly and put the sugar packet in his hand in front of Shi Dye.

Shi Ri, who was holding the spoon, couldn't help frowning, "What's wrong with your hand?" ”

But I saw that Lian Zhi'er's fingers were densely covered with tiny red marks.

Lian Zhi'er almost ignored Fu Yunhuang's eyes with warnings, and only said slowly, "Shicai has been peeling lotus seeds and hurting them, because he has been busy burning the fire, so he didn't have time to bandage them." ”

Fu Yunhuang subconsciously withdrew his immaculate fingers, and didn't know how to explain it for a while.

"You don't have to do it later." Shi Ran only put the spoon down and didn't eat a single bite.

Lian Zhi'er came out with the things she had packed, and only then did she walk to the door of the kitchen, but she saw a figure behind her chasing after her, and the voice that came from her was also a little angry, "Stop." ”

Lian Zhi'er stopped and turned her head to look at the angry woman, it seemed that she didn't bother to pretend in front of her slave now.

"Why do you have to say it in front of adults, do you want them to notice you so much?" The anger in Fu Yunhuang's extremely beautiful eyes almost overflowed.

Lian Zhi'er looked at it, "That's because you lied." ”

"You slut." Fu Yunhuang stretched out his hand to hit her, but was avoided by Lian Zhi'er.

"Miss Fu, I am the slave of the adult, but not yours." Lian Zhi'er didn't have a trace of fear, no matter how domineering the person on the other side was, "You want to teach the slave and maid a lesson, you have to be a scholar's wife." ”

"You slut." Fu Yunhuang sneered, "If you were in Beijing, your head would have moved a long time ago." ”

"It's not in Kyochu." Lian Zhi'er calmed down. "Please also ask Miss Fu to return the jade pendant to me."

"Why should I give it back to you?" She looked a little angry, obviously she didn't expect Lian Zhi'er to have such a powerful mouth, and she was deceived by her soft and deceitful appearance in the past.

"On that day, you said that the adults wanted to go back, if I go to the adults at this time and ask, it is not me who will be embarrassed." Lian Zhi'er looked at her. "It's said that the adult knows that the person who made the marriage contract with him is a lying woman, and I wonder if he will send you back to the capital."

"How dare you ......"

Lian Zhi'er looked at her with a smile, "That slave can only wish you and His Royal Highness the Prince to grow old together, and love will not condense." ”

This sentence really came from the bottom of her heart.

Sure enough, when he heard Shi Ran, Fu Yunhuang's face became even more pale, but in a hurry, he still threw the jade pendant on the ground, and then turned away.

By this time, it was already dark, and I was afraid that she would have to go back.

Lian Zhi'er slowly picked up the jade pendant, but she didn't put it in her arms, but only hung it on the buckle on her chest.

With each step, the jade slashed across her chest, the hot sensation. Gradually filled her empty heart.

After Lian Zhi'er cleaned up the things in the kitchen, it was already time to turn on the lamp.

She went to Shi Ran's house, only took the fire fold to light the lamp, and when she looked up, she saw Shi Ran looking at her, but her eyes fell on the jade pendant on her chest.

"This jade pendant-" In a panic and nervousness, Lian Zhi'er didn't know how to explain.

However, he didn't wait for her to finish, and took out a porcelain bottle from the cabinet beside him, "This is the best gold sore medicine." ”

Her eyes couldn't help but moisten.

————

When Fu Yunhuang returned to the inn, he was still full of anger.

She was such a proud person, but she didn't expect to be defeated in the hands of Lian Zhi'er today.

By this time it was already dark, and she entered the room without lighting the lamp, but only poured a cup of tea, and before she could enter the mouth, she saw a long figure standing in the room.

She was so frightened that she wanted to scream, but she was afraid that the man would kill her.

At this moment, I saw that the man had already taken out the fire fold and lit a few candles.

Only then did she see it clearly, but she saw that it was a man in a brocade robe and a jade robe, a handsome man born with the bearing of a dragon and a phoenix, and he would not be confused with bandits.

"Who are you?" She only felt that the person on the other side was imposing, and it was even more intimidating than the bandits.

The man looked at the painting hanging on the wall, and then a cold voice came, "Half of this lotus flower is painted by Shi Dye, but the other half is not painted by him, look at this other half of the brush is very soft, it must be your masterpiece!" ”

Fu Yunhuang was a little nervous, "Yes." ”

But he couldn't help but say that he took the fire fold and set the painting on fire, with a hint of mockery on his arrogant face, "What a good Dilian, but it's just your fantasy." ”

"Who the hell are you?" There was a slight tremor in her voice, but she seemed to have thought of someone, but she didn't dare to say it.

"I'm your husband." Ruan Lu looked at her with a smile, but there was clearly no love in his eyes, "I'm here to take you back, we should get married." ”

Unexpectedly, he still found her, she was almost scared to faint, this man was too sharp, especially those eyes, as if they were trying to eat people.

"You are Fu Yunhuang?" He looked at her unscrupulously, "Sure enough, she is a beauty who stuns the world, and it will not be a loss for the son of this world to marry you." ”

"Please let me go, I only love Lord Mushi in my life, and I have a marriage contract with him." She begged bitterly, crying pear blossoms with rain, and the men in the world saw it, but they were afraid that they would die of distress.

But Ruan Lu looked at her coldly, but his voice was as cold as ice, "Don't pretend, this world is not those men, I was deceived by your appearance, we are all the same kind of people, people who will do anything to get what they want." ”

Fu Yunhuang raised his head and looked at him in astonishment.
