XXXVII. You Are Mine!
β¦β¦
Princess Yuxiang didn't expect this Jiang Ruoyan to dare to openly contradict herself, and she couldn't help but increase her tone in shock: "Miss Jiang, what do you mean by this?" Official business? Isn't the canonization of the royal decree a public affair? What could be more important than that? β
Jiang Xun knew that Yuxiang Gong took the initiative to be angry, and just wanted to speak out to make Jiang Ruoyan admit his mistake, but he didn't want Jiang Ruoyan to immediately reply: "Her Royal Highness the princess has lived in the prosperous and peaceful land of the Shendu for a long time, and she doesn't know that the Far East border is sinister. Vertex Says X 23 U OM
Since Captain Liu arrived in Yuanzhou, he has been running for the safety of the people all the time and leading the army to resist the invasion of the Hu people, and he did not hesitate to risk his life to swear to ensure the peace of the water and soil. Could it be that the princess thinks that the lives of the people of the Far East are not as important as such rituals? Or is it that in the eyes of the princess, those people are not enough to worry about their lives?"
"Bold!" Princess Yuxiang was slightly trembling by Jiang Ruoyan's words, "Jiang Ruoyan, are you scolding this palace for not knowing the general situation?" Could it be that without that Liu Ce, there would be no one in the Far East to resist the barbarians outside the Saiwai barbarians? What is the ability of a common man? β
Jiang Ruoyan said lightly: "The little woman categorically didn't mean this, she just wanted to remind Her Royal Highness that there is a priority in the matter, it is better to wait for Captain Liu to come back after handling official business, and then it is not too late to perform the reward ceremony."
As for whether Captain Liu has the ability and whether he can resist the ravages of Hu Nu, please ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to find out with a little inquiry, but Her Royal Highness Ruo Yan Feng had better not say such things again, so as not to be ridiculed by others......"
"You, you ......" Seeing Jiang Ruoyan's indifferent appearance, Princess Yuxiang breathed rapidly, pointing at her, she just didn't know what to say, Her Royal Highness the princess was ridiculed like this in the hall, how could this face exist.
"Yan'er, don't talk nonsense, don't hurry up and compensate Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Jiang Xun saw that the atmosphere was getting stiffer and stiffer, and hurriedly reminded his daughter, and at the same time said to Princess Yuxiang: "Your Royal Highness Princess, it is the lower official who has no way to discipline the little girl, and it has disturbed you, please bear with me." β
Jiang Ruoyan saw her father speak, so she bowed to Princess Yuxiang and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, there are many rudeness of the little girl, please ......forgive me" Having said that, but as soon as she heard it, she knew that she was reluctant, and Liu Ce had already occupied an extremely important position in her heart, and she could not tolerate insults and slanders from others at will.
"Hmph......" Princess Yuxiang snorted lightly, but in order to maintain her royal bearing, now there is another step, temporarily suppressing the anger in her heart, and after glaring at Jiang Ruoyan with her eyes, she no longer pays attention to her.
Li Suwen had already made huge waves in his heart at this time, is this Jiang Ruoyan in front of him still the Jiang Ruoyan he knows?
Although he knew that she had been strong since she was a child, she seemed to have never defended a man like this in his impression, which made him unacceptable, and he had to find a time to ask her about the relationship between her and Liu Ce!
Mrs. Shi saw that Li Suwen had been staring at her daughter with a deep face, and her eyes were full of strangeness, so she hurriedly said: "Master Ma, Your Royal Highness the Princess, the old man has prepared a thin banquet in the banquet hall to catch the wind for you, and please take a seat......
"Then trouble Mrs. Jiang." Li Suwen smiled at Mrs. Shi, and then said to Princess Yuxiang, "Your Royal Highness Princess, Lord Jiang and Mrs. Jiang invited, it is difficult to be gracious......
Princess Yuxiang was about to say more, but when she saw that Li Suwen's eyes were full of deep meaning, she had to calm down and nodded gently.
Jiang Xun hurriedly said: "The princess and the concubine came from afar, hurry up and take a seat, and the next official will go to urge Liu Ce to return to the city as soon as possible to grant the decree!" β
Li Suwen smiled: "Then there is Lord Lao Jiang." Then he looked at Jiang Ruoyan and said softly, "Miss Jiang, let's also sit down." β
Jiang Ruoyan lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him directly: "Master Horse, Your Royal Highness the Princess, the little woman is unwell today, and it is inconvenient to accompany her, please forgive me." β
"Yan'er ......" When Jiang Xun heard this, he immediately frowned.
"That's it......" Li Suwen snatched Jiang Xun's words, and said with a gentle smile: "Since Miss Jiang is unwell, let's go back to the room to rest early and take care of your body." β
Jiang Ruoyan said: "Thank you for your care, the little girl is rude...... After finishing speaking, he took a few steps back and turned around and walked to the backyard.
Looking at Jiang Ruoyan's departing back, Li Suwen's face changed slightly, and then together with Princess Yuxiang, accompanied by Jiang Xun and hundreds of civil and military officials outside the door, he was not as good as in the banquet hall......
That night, after the banquet, Princess Yuxiang and Cui Yingxin were tired from the journey, and entered the prepared room early to rest, and Li Suwen took this opportunity to walk to Jiang Ruoyan's boudoir to relieve their lovesickness.
When passing by the dean's attic, I only heard a sound in my ears, and I couldn't help but go to the source of the sound, but I saw that above the attic, Jiang Ruoyan was dressed in white like a fairy descending to earth, holding a jade flute and closing her eyes to play, which was Liu Ce's song "Looking for Jade" that day.
This song was played from Jiang Ruoyan's jade flute, and Zi was far superior to Liu Ce's "amateur" level, which couldn't help but make Li Suwen fall into reverie, slowly walked up to the attic, and stopped a few steps behind her to enjoy it quietly.
Jiang Ruoyan didn't notice that someone was coming behind him, and he was still immersed in the sound of his flute, putting all his emotions into it.
After the song was played, Jiang Ruo looked at the night scene outside the pavilion, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, full of resentment.
"Ruoyan ......" Li Suwen came back to his senses from the song and couldn't help but call softly.
Jiang Ruoyan's delicate body trembled, turned around and saw Li Suwen looking at him affectionately, hurriedly avoided his eyes, and bowed: "I've seen the horse master, it's getting late, why is the horse master still restless?"
Li Suwen stepped forward and came to her, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Ruoyan, and he raised his hand to hug the beautiful woman in front of him into his arms.
I didn't want Jiang Ruoyan to dodge to the side and dodge Li Suwen's hand, which made him very embarrassed for a while.
I saw Jiang Ruoyan bow slightly again and said, "Master Ma, the little woman is a little unwell, I will retire first, please forgive me......" After speaking, he wanted to walk towards the attic steps.
"Ruoyan ......" Li Suwen saw that Jiang Ruoyan was leaving, and hurriedly called her, "I know, you must still blame me, right?" β
Jiang Ruoyan stopped when he heard this, and his jade hand held on to the railing of the stairs, some things could not be escaped in the end, and his oath that day needed to be understood after all.
I saw Li Suwen continue: "Ruoyan, do you know? I'm really going crazy, I'm going crazy thinking about you, since the last time I said goodbye, I've been begging the emperor all the time to let me transfer troops to the Far East, I ......"
"Master Horse, you don't need to say it anymore......" Jiang Ruoyan interrupted Li Suwen's words, "Ruoyan knows that it is not easy for Master Horse to be above the court, how can it be decided in a few words?" I won't blame you anymore. β
Li Suwen's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Ruoyan, have you forgiven me?" Really? Do you really not blame me? β
Jiang Ruoyan said lightly: "Ruoyan has never blamed the horse master, how can he forgive and not forgive?" Not to mention ......"
Speaking of this, Jiang Ruoyan took a deep breath and continued: "Someone has already fulfilled a long-cherished wish in Ruoyan's heart for many years......
"What did you say!" Li Suwen couldn't help but be a little shocked when he heard Jiang Ruoyan say this.
Jiang Ruoyan said: "In the past, Ruoyan's oath in Heyang Tower has been fulfilled for me, and Master Ma doesn't have to blame himself too much in this matter." β
Li Suwen's face sank, and his tone was slightly heavier: "Ruoyan, you turn around......"
Jiang Ruoyan didn't do it, but said softly: "Master Ma should go back to rest with the princess earlier, it's getting late, Ruoyan has said goodbye." β
Seeing that Jiang Ruoyan was about to step down the stairs, Li Suwen immediately said angrily: "In front of me, you are not allowed to mention the three words of the horse master!" Ruoyan, you turn back to me and look at me! β
Jiang Ruoyan stopped and didn't look back: "Master Ma is angry, if Yan is rude, please do a lot of Haihan." β
"You make it clear for me!" Hearing this, Li Suwen took a step forward, and wanted to grab Jiang Ruoyan's arms again, wanting to turn her around to face him.
Jiang Ruoyan felt that the air flow behind her was floating again, and immediately walked a few steps down the stairs, but did not reply to Li Suwen's words.
Li Suwen was even more annoyed when he saw this: "Jiang Ruoyan! Stop! Turn around and hear no! Speak for me! β
Jiang Ruoyan continued to walk down the stairs, deciding to avoid Li Suwen's anger for the time being, and wait for the right time to explain the words to him.
"Liu Ce! It's Liu Ce, right? β
Suddenly, Li Suwen's words reached Jiang Ruoyan's ears, causing her to stop in place immediately.
Seeing this, Li Suwen slowly walked down the stairs and said, "I knew that you were so abnormal in the hall of the Governor's Mansion today that I almost couldn't recognize you. β
Saying that, Li Suwen walked around from behind Jiang Ruoyan to her, his face was full of coldness: "Tell me honestly, what is the relationship between you and Liu Ce?"
Jiang Ruoyan closed his eyes for a moment, took a deep breath, then opened his eyes, met Li Suwen's compelling eyes with a firm face, and said: "Liu Gongzi and I are just gentlemen's friends, he has fulfilled Ruoyan's long-cherished wish for many years, but he didn't threaten me with an oath, are you satisfied!" β
"That's it?" Li Suwen was a little relieved when he heard this, but he always felt that if it was just like this, Jiang Ruoyan's performance today would be too abnormal, and it was completely different from his own cognition.
"But I have fallen in love with him." So far, Jiang Ruoyan simply said what she really thought in her heart, she had held it for too long, so that Li Suwen could die of this heart.
"What did you say?" When Li Suwen heard this, a smile appeared on his face, "Ruoyan, what nonsense are you talking about?" How could you possibly fall in love with Liu Ce? It's impossible between you, he ......"
"Really......" Jiang Ruoyan interrupted him and said, "I don't want to lie to myself anymore, and I don't want to lie to you, I really have fallen in love with him, except for him, Ruoyan can't tolerate any man in his heart, now you understand, big brother of the Li family......"
"Impossible, Ruoyan, you must be talking angry, right?" Seeing that Jiang Ruoyan said so firmly, Li Suwen couldn't help but look a little dazed, and his eyes stared straight at Jiang Ruoyan, "By the way, you must be angry that I didn't come to the Far East to help you expel Hu Nu, right?" It must be like this, Ruoyan, that's right, right? You have me in your heart, you are lying to me, tell me quickly, it is like this, say ah......"
Jiang Ruoyan shook his head and said to Li Suwen: "Brother Li, don't be like this, everything Ruoyan said came from the bottom of her heart, and there was no half-truth, please don't pester Ruoyan in the future, the person you should love is Her Royal Highness the Princess, Ruoyan can see that she cares about you very much......"
"Hahaha......" Li Suwen suddenly laughed wildly, his expression gradually became hideous, and the person who watched it was numb in his scalp.
After the laughter, Li Suwen looked at Jiang Ruoyan and shook his head: "Jiang Ruoyan, you actually have another man in your heart, dare to betray me?" I said that your body and mind, everything you have can only belong to me Li Suwen alone, and no one can take you away from me. β
The corners of Jiang Ruoyan's mouth raised lightly: "Brother Li, this kind of thing can't be forced, and those who are forced are destined to be unhappy, why do you bother?" β
Li Suwen's eyes were red: "I said, even if you are a slave, you can only be my slave Li Suwen, this time I come to the Far East, I must take you away, I believe you will fall in love with my ...... again"
When Jiang Ruoyan heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly, and then she quickly settled down and shook her head at Li Suwen and said: "Ruoyan will not go with you, let alone go to your house to be a slave and a maid, Ruoyan will never behave like this again, I was too naΓ―ve in the past, until he appeared, I didn't know how ridiculous my previous self was, since then Ruoyan has understood a truth, fate is in my own hands, no one wants to force me to do what I don't want to do!" β
"Fate?" Li Suwen smiled coldly and suppressed his anger, "You are still too naΓ―ve, Jiang Ruoyan, if I tell you that this royal marriage allowed Liu Ce to marry a broken flower and a willow, will you still fall in love with him?" β
Jiang Ruoyan couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this, and her face was full of incredulity.
When Li Suwen saw Jiang Ruoyan's expression, he couldn't help but feel proud: "How is it?" Will you still accept him? β
"I don't care who he marries, anyway, it's ......" Jiang Ruoyan quickly recovered from his shocked state, glared at Li Suwen and said word by word, "I, Jiang Ruoyan, will not marry Liu Ce in this life!" β
After finishing speaking, she ignored Li Suwen's shocked expression and passed by him.
"Jiang Ruoyan! I'm telling you! You can only belong to me Li Suwen alone! I will never allow you to like other men, absolutely not! Don't even think about it! You can't escape from the palm of my hand in your life! Did you hear ......"
Looking at Jiang Ruoyan's delicate shadow drifting away, Li Suwen's angry shouts echoed inside and outside the pavilion and in the backyard.
Not far from the pond, Jiang Xun, who was secretly witnessing all this, stood with his hands on his back, and his eyes were cold......
"Liu Ce, this governor wants to see how you will deal with all this ...... in front of you."
