311. The Second World. Chapter 60. A softness that touches the bottom of my heart
Ru Jingxin lived for two days in Dongfang Luo's small courtyard, Dongfang Luo's courtyard is located in the remote part of the imperial city, and it is not as gorgeous as the homes of ordinary dignitaries, just two green tile houses, a small courtyard, there is not even a slave on weekdays, and the housekeeper will regularly bring a few maids to clean it.
This courtyard is a place where Dongfang Luo occasionally comes to live when he wants to be quiet, and there are very few people living around, and Ru Jingxin stayed at home after living in it, and no one knew that there was a peerless woman living here.
The news that Ru Jingxin had returned to Fengguo, no one knew except Dongfang Luo, and two days later, Ru Jingxin got into a carriage and returned to the Fengguo Palace under Dongfang Luo's arrangement. And Dongfang Luo had also found out that Ru Yueyu had left the Imperial City of Feng Kingdom the day before Ru Jingxin came back, and set off to return to Shao Yixuan's side.
Since he learned that Ru Yueyu was the illegitimate daughter of the emperor two days ago, Dongfang Luo immediately arranged for his henchmen to investigate Ru Yueyu's Yiqiqi when he left the palace gate, and even her residence in Fengguo over the years was clear.
After Ru Jingxin knew the news that Ru Yueyu had left for the Eagle Country, she didn't react, just nodded lightly and didn't say anything.
In the two days that she lived in Dongfang Luo's other courtyard, Ru Jingxin had already thought a lot, and there were already two thoughts in her heart that were struggling, but she couldn't make up her mind, on the one hand, reason, on the other hand, her own emotions, she was still a little difficult to choose.
Since Dongfang Luo said in the early dynasty that Ru Jingxin would be able to arrive at the imperial city of Fengguo in a while, the emperor ordered the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to wait for the princess to return to China at the Xuanwu Gate after the early dynasty, and the treatment of Ru Jingxin can be described as high.
When Ru Jingxin entered the palace gate and saw the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty saluting her, she was not happy at all in the face of the rather generous treatment, but she was sneering in her heart, her father really took great pains to stabilize her useful chess piece.
Ru Jingxin wore a simple fiery red dress, without gorgeous palace clothes, and did not wear those cumbersome headdresses on her head, she appeared in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military in a simple and elegant manner, with a light smile on her face that she had learned since childhood, and her every move looked atmospheric and calm, quite the style of a princess of a country.
In the face of the grand scene of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military saluting her, Ru Jingxin was not shocked, there was no trace of waves in her eyes, and she walked to her father, who was standing in the highest position, with an elegant smile on her face, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and there was only coldness in her eyes, without a trace of temperature.
Ru Haojiang, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, saw Ru Jingxin walking in front of him, the wrinkles of his smile were revealed, and he stepped forward and hugged Ru Jingxin's body intimately, as if he was a loving father, and said happily: "My princess is finally back!" ”
Ru Jingxin's body was a little stiff when she was hugged by Ru Haojiang for a while, she was stunned, and after reacting, her hand also hugged her father's waist with some hesitation, but there was still no trace of joy in her eyes for a long time reunion. As long as she thought of his father's painstaking calculations against her, how could she still smile at him sincerely? How can he regard his father's kindness to her at this time as true family affection?
Before she married into the Eagle Kingdom, she had never been treated like this by her father's side, when did her father ever care about her daughter? Coupled with the qiē she overheard that day, now that she thinks about it, she can have such a grand treatment today, presumably thanks to Shao Yixuan's blessing.
Thinking of this, Ru Jingxin's smile became even colder.
After hugging, Ru Haojiang let go of Ru Jingxin, still with a friendly smile on his face.
But Ru Jingxin immediately saluted Ru Haojiang, "The son sees his father!" ”
Ru Haojiang helped Ru Jingxin up with both hands, looked Ru Jingxin up and down with a smile, and said softly: "I've lost weight." ”
Ru Jingxin's face was stunned, and her heart was lightly touched, she didn't expect Ru Haojiang to say such a thing, it really seemed to care about her, so that her heart was soft for a moment.
After being stunned, Ru Jingxin reacted quickly, her smile was elegant, and her tone maintained her due calmness, "Erchen is far away in a foreign country, and I have missed my father and my Fengguo very much in the past year. ”
Ru Haojiang patted Ru Jingxin's shoulder and said with satisfaction: "It's good to come back, tonight, I will set up a banquet for my princess to catch the wind and wash the dust!" ”
"Erchen is tired of carriages and horses, and his body is a little tired, so let's skip the banquet, and I am already very happy to come back to see my father." Ru Jingxin lowered her eyebrows, her face was respectful, and her words were measured.
"Since the emperor is unwell, then I will give up, and when the emperor goes back to rest, come to me again." Ru Haojiang is still smiling, and the image of a loving father makes him do a good job, and there is no trace of hypocrisy on his face.
"The retainers obey." Ru Jingxin didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, and immediately bowed again, always abiding by the due court etiquette. And she also knew in her heart that she was like a mirror, and she didn't have to think about it to know what Ru Haojiang asked her to find him.
After entertaining his father and the Manchu Dynasty, Ru Jingxin went back to his bedroom.
As soon as she entered the dormitory where she had been away for a year, Ru Jingxin felt a long-lost sense of intimacy, the maids and eunuchs around her were still there, and they were waiting for her outside the door of the dormitory early, and when they saw her coming, they all knelt down and saluted, "Welcome the princess back to the palace!" "All of them are in high spirits.
When Ru Jingxin saw these familiar faces, she had a sincere smile on her face, and her tone softened a lot, "Get up." ”
Surrounded by these maidservants and eunuchs, Ru Jingxin stepped into her long-lost dormitory, which was where she lived since she was a child, where she grew up, and she had never left before, and this walk was more than a year.
Now goodbye, everything in this dormitory is exactly the same as when she lived here before, there is no change in the slightest, and it is even more spotless, which makes her feel a strong sense of belonging, and she feels very close in her heart.
"Princess, in the days when you are away, the minions have not moved the things in this dormitory, and they have all retained the way when the princess was there, and the minions have cleaned every day, thinking that if you come back one day, the princess, you will be very happy to see the place where you used to live. Princess, you're finally back, the minions miss the princess so much! The little eunuch choked up a little as he said excitedly, and his eyes flashed with tears.
The softest place in Ru Jingxin's heart was touched, in this deep palace courtyard, there are still some people who treat her sincerely, and it is not in vain that she treated them well before.
She turned her eyes to look at the choked little eunuch, and couldn't help laughing, "Look at you, you've grown so big and cry so easily." ”
She still remembered that this little eunuch came to serve her when she was nine years old, but the little eunuch was only seven years old at that time, and his family was poor, so he sold the child to the palace and castrated him as a eunuch.
The little eunuch couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe away his tears, and the other palace maids and eunuchs also responded: "Princess, the minions really miss you!" I look forward to seeing you back every day! ”
Ru Jingxin's eyes turned into crescent moons, and she only felt that her heart was warm and warm, and there were still people who missed her.
"Princess, hot water is ready for you, and the slaves and maids will wait for you to bathe and change your clothes." A maid with tears in her eyes looked at Ru Jingxin with a smile, her face full of admiration.
"Hmm."
Ru Jingxin nodded lightly, she was indeed a little tired of dealing with those people on the Xuanwu Gate just now. Although I stayed in Dongfang Luona for two days, I was haunted by things, and I always had a bad rest, and when I came back to my home, I was a little sleepy, so it was good to rest for a while after bathing.
When the maidservants were waiting for Ru Jingxin to undress, they saw the scarred wound on Ru Jingxin's back, and they couldn't help but be surprised, and said in astonishment: "Princess, you, your shoulder ......."
"It's out of the way, it's just a little injury. Be careful not to let this wound touch the water. Ru Jingxin didn't have any waves on her face, and her tone didn't take this wound seriously, and she didn't care.
This wound was raised in the Eagle Country for a month, but it bleozed twice on the way back to Feng Kingdom, which rested in Dongfang Luo's courtyard for two days, and applied the medicine prescribed by Mo Wushuang every day before it scarred again, and now it must not touch the water again, otherwise the wound will definitely suppurate.
The maidservants looked at the long opening on Ru Jingxin's shoulder with distressed eyes, and they couldn't speak one by one, when did their princess sin this crime, even if she was a minor injury since she was a child, it was rare, let alone such a serious injury! This wound was not light at first glance, but Ru Jingxin was reluctant to say it, and they didn't dare to ask.
It's just that no one would have imagined that the princess of a country, who has lived a life of fine clothes and fine food and pampered since she was a child, would not care about such a wound...... This wound will obviously leave an ugly scar!
…………
After bathing and changing clothes, Ru Jingxin slept until dusk, and it was time for dinner.
As soon as Ru Jingxin woke up and sat up, a eunuch came to her dormitory, saluted her and whispered: "The slave was ordered by the emperor to invite the princess to come over and dine together." ”
"Got it, the main palace will be over in a while." Ru Jingxin asked the eunuch to retreat expressionlessly, and couldn't help sneering in her heart. If it had been before, she might have been very happy, her father had sent her to dinner together, but now, she wanted to laugh or laugh, and her father really couldn't wait.
She wanted to have a good rest for a day, and tomorrow morning her father went to her early, but she didn't want her father to send someone directly to call at this time, or not, she just went over.
After getting up and letting the maidservants clean her, she deliberately put on exquisite makeup and put on her princess's palace dress, which was also a fiery red, but more gorgeous.
