Su Mansion, it has been three years.

The guards sent by King Cheng stood guard outside the mansion, and Changde took the palace maids and eunuchs into the mansion.

It has been closed for three years, the house is gray and frosty, the dead branches and leaves are all over the ground, and it is desolate to the eyes.

"Miss! We're back! I can finally shout at you, Miss! Xiaohong's face fluttered with excitement, and she grabbed her arm and jumped.

"Yes." Ruoyun wore a simple blue dress, and the smile on her lips spread to her cheeks.

Father-in-law Chang is an old eunuch in the palace, who served the emperor when he was young, and his prestige is needless to say. It was arranged to go down, and the palace people who brought it were busy with the convenience, sweeping the yard and dusting the yard and dusting the dust.

Xiaohong shouted that she was familiar, and shouted that she led someone to open up.

For a time, Su Mansion, which had been silent for three years, was very lively.

Ruoyun's smile gradually faded, her heart was bored, and a sour feeling came from the bottom up.

For three years, although she often missed, she didn't want to really come back.

When she left Su Mansion, she didn't bring any of the things she had in the past, and she was the only one by her side; Now that he has returned, he has not brought back anything else, and Xiaohong is the only one by his side.

She walked straight in, and after the three-entry hall where only tables and chairs were hung with scrolls, the largest and most spacious in the backyard was her father's bedroom.

In the bleak winter, the doors and windows are empty, and a thick layer of dust falls when you push it, and the ashes are raised and the room is empty.

She looked around, there were many large items in the house, and the mother's usual dressing table was still there, and the drawers were half-pulled, as if they were only used......

Ruoyun closed the door again, and entered the side courtyard to her father's former study - a large begonia in the courtyard was bare mixed with the withered yellow bamboo leaves.

The door of the study was open, there was no book left in the room, and the shadow of the great country that my father held the book in his hand and laughed and talked about it was dissipated at the touch of a touch, and the loud sound in my ears also turned into the chirping of birds.

She sat down in front of the door, and something slipped and dripped from her eyes.

She reached out to wipe it, her hands were full of tears, and then she wiped it, and the more tears gushed out, the more tears gushed out, and finally turned into a surging heartache and pain, making her cry completely for the first time in three years.

When Xiaohong came to look for her, it was already three poles in the sun.

Ruoyun washed her cheeks and hands, and went out with her to greet Chang Gonggong.

Changde took people to roughly clean up the Su Mansion, saying that the dry branches would be repaired another day, and then ordered someone to send clothes, bedding, tea bowls and pans, and left a few girls to take care of them.

Ruoyun thanked him, and sent Chang Gonggong away, and he was busy cleaning up again.

The master bedroom was vacant, and she still lived in the original room, in the same courtyard as Xiaohong.

After days of hard work, she slept back to her original bed, and Ruoyun had no dreams all night.

Early in the morning of the second day, someone came from the palace and put on all kinds of bonsai and ornaments, and added many brocades and silk silks.

Ruoyun hurriedly thanked Chang Gonggong, but the person who came said that it was rewarded by the emperor.

Ruoyun's face turned dark, and she couldn't ask anyone to throw it out, so she could only accept it.

Who knew that for a few days, someone in the palace came to send things: food and clothing, jewelry ornaments, and then simply brought a small box, and opened it was a silver tael with white flowers.

Ruoyun remembered Rong Jinhuan's purpose: since he was selected, he wanted to be more beautiful.

She was like a great enemy for a while, but she refused to accept it again, so the people who came still put down their things and left, and finally the chariots, horses and servants also entered the house.

The servants were busy for a few more days, the bricks and tiles of the house were newly decorated, the garden was renovated and re-injected with living water, and dozens of koi fish were stocked.

After the palace people came, some people brought books, incense burners, calligraphy and paintings, and when they asked, they learned that they were sent by Cheng Wangfu, and the guards in the palace were also allocated by Cheng Wangfu, and Su Mansion was already like a big household.

When no one finally came, Ruoyun breathed a sigh of relief and closed the door.

Whether it was given by the emperor or rewarded by the prince, she ordered everyone to put it away, only turned out plain dresses to wear, and personally cleaned up her father's bedroom and study with Xiaohong.

The rest of the time, she wandered around the house, or else she ate tea and read.

It's the middle of winter in the blink of an eye.

The sun was just right, Ruoyun was lazily nestled in the garden, peeling apples for herself while looking at the dead branches hanging from the wisteria shelf, and her thoughts were flying.

When this wisteria blooms in spring, she will be elected to the palace.

And she, Su Ruoyun, hasn't figured out how to lose the election.

She shook her head vigorously, and her gaze fell on the knife in her hand.

She raised her bright knife and looked left and right, slowly approached her cheek, and cut her face to make a scar out, should she be able to escape the selection? After all, a woman who enters the palace is the first in beauty.

The knife was flat against her cheek, and she couldn't move it horizontally or vertically, and she was laughing at herself and sighing, and her wrist hurt.

The stone fell to the ground with the sound of the knife, and a man in a dark robe was standing a few steps away from her, staring nervously at him, the belt around his waist was shining, his handsome face was full of shock, and his hand was still in a smashing posture.

"You ——!" Ruoyun came back to her senses and subconsciously bounced up, picked up the apple and considered whether to smash it directly.

As if seeing her thoughts, Cheng Qinghe showed a strange expression, and hurriedly explained: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I see you holding a knife...... I thought...... Thought you couldn't open it. ”

"You can't think about it! What are you going to do?! Ruoyun panicked and looked him up and down, "How did you appear?" ”

Hearing that she was not killing herself, Cheng Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief and said innocently: "Fly the wall." ”

"You ......" Ruoyun's scalp is numb, when did Cheng Qinghe appear this time and walk through the main gate? The gossip about him coming and going without a trace and causing trouble everywhere is true.

Seeing that he had his hands behind his back, she couldn't help but be vigilant: "What secret weapon are you hiding?" Don't you say I'm calling someone? ”

Cheng Qinghe was asked like this, patted his head, and said embarrassedly: "I almost forgot, I ...... I'm here to apologize! Don't get me wrong......"

He squirmed, took a paper bag from behind him, shook it, and when he saw that she didn't move, he stretched out his hand and put it on the small round table.

While he was handing over the bag, Ruoyun bent down and replaced the apple in his hand with a knife.

He took two steps back, looked at her with very innocent eyes, and motioned for her to open it again.

Ruoyun stretched out her hand and shook the bag, confirming that it was not a dangerous creature before she dared to open a crack, and a scent of osmanthus came to her nose, and she couldn't help but sigh.

"This is Xie Meitang's osmanthus cake, and it's still hot when it's newly baked today." Cheng Qinghe's pair of dark eyes looked at her expression shiningly, and when he saw her face happy, he was immediately quite proud.

Ruoyun hurriedly suppressed her smile, and didn't see him move for a long time before slowly putting down the knife.

Cheng Qinghe coughed lightly and explained: "I offended you before, I didn't mean to, it was...... Forehead...... Anyway, don't mind, I'll make amends to you. ”

After speaking, he bent down and bowed to her with his fists, and looked at her reaction from the corner of his eye.

Ruoyun was angry and funny when she saw him like this, and shook her head again and again: "How dare I ask the prince to make amends with me?" The prince might as well tell me why he kidnapped me, so as to ease the heart of the 'people's daughter'. ”

Cheng Qinghe got up embarrassedly and scratched his head, "It's not a hijacking, it's a misunderstanding, I was miserable by my eldest brother and Wen'er, and I was confused as an errand." Wen'er is just messing around...... This ......"

Seeing her look of disbelief, Cheng Qinghe took a sharp breath, his heart was crossed, and said: "Wen'er, she is jealous, I don't know why she is jealous, anyway, she is jealous that my second brother takes care of you." I saw you alone that day, and I wanted to play tricks on you...... I really didn't know she threw you down the well, I knew I was going to stop her. ”

"Huh?" Seeing Cheng Qinghe hurriedly explaining, this time it was Ruoyun's turn at a loss.

At best, she had met with Cheng Wang Ye three times, and she had thought about all the possibilities, but she didn't expect this to be the reason. She really provoked someone who shouldn't be provoked, why is the situation in Cheng Wangfu so complicated?

The knife in her hand was slowly put down, Ruoyun sat back on the stool suspiciously, she began to regret accepting Cheng Qingxuan's kindness for copying books, and secretly made up her mind to stay away from them for the time being-whether it was Cheng Wangfu or that Baize.

"The prince is so kind to stop Sister Ling?" She snorted coldly from her nose, but her complexion was much softened.

"You are a girl's family, and you are lonely, I, Cheng Qinghe, am a dignified man, how can I bully a little girl, of course I have to stop it." Cheng Qinghe said it confidently, and he still waved his fists.

Ruoyun saw him like this, "poof" laughed, although this Cheng Qinghe has a superb light skill, but his temperament is like a half-old child, straight and straight, he can't help but sigh and shake his head: "The prince doesn't have to mind, the past will be over." Don't sit? ”

"Have you forgiven me?!" Cheng Qinghe's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly sat down next to her.

"Don't dare to be angry with the prince." She said half-truthfully.

"Don't call me the prince in the future, I don't have a king, just call me Qinghe." Cheng Qinghe corrected, smiled and suddenly collapsed his shoulders, almost lying on the table, as if he had gone through some catastrophe and was exhausted, "Big brother is miserable for me, who knows that it is so serious, if there is a case, I can't forgive myself." ”

"Don't worry, it's not okay." Ruoyun chuckled, passed by, and comforted him in turn.

She doesn't blame him now, it was actually her choice to get to this point, she chose to go out of Chu Mansion in response to the kindness of Prince Rong, and there was no danger in entering the palace, and Cheng Qinghe was afraid that no matter how malicious he was, he would be crooked and let her return to Su Mansion.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, "Big brother bastard made me an accomplice, and he finally let me breathe a sigh last night." He looked like he had taken Cheng Qingsu away.

"Huh?" She was stunned, and she couldn't imagine that Cheng Qingsu, who was unsmiling and serious, would meet a nemesis.

"My eldest brother has two people, and he can't do anything about them."

"Who?"

"I won't tell you, I'll meet you later anyway." He suddenly sold Guan Zi and grinned, "There is another one, it is the second brother Cheng Qingxuan." ”

"Isn't the prince in charge of the house your eldest brother?" She couldn't figure it out more and more.

"Yes, but my eldest brother doesn't care how fierce and annoying my second brother is." He spread his hands, "Unlike me, I can't help but collide with him, and I am drunk by him again and again." He shook his head.

She shook her head, just hit the soft nail, Cheng Qingxuan is so indifferent, he is a person who ignores everything, if he has no reaction when he meets Cheng Qingsu, Cheng Qingsu really has something to do.

But in the end, he is the dignified prince of Cheng, the person who argues with Rong Yixuan in court in the court, and how to admit this serious person, she can't figure it out anyway.

"You look so good when you laugh, I won't mess with you in the future." Cheng Qinghe looked at her plain clothes, but her smile was scorching, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and she couldn't help but flick her tongue.

"Wang ...... Cheng Gongzi, can you go to the front gate in the future and don't go over the wall? Ruoyun lowered his face and solemnly suggested.

"Call me Qinghe." Cheng Qinghe corrected again, shaking his head again and again, "If you go to the main gate, first, the guard outside is from my eldest brother, he will know and call me for questioning, and second, the third son of my Cheng Wangfu will enter the Su Mansion, and I must report it, how troublesome." ”

Ruoyun saw that he was crooked and heresy, but he was the truth, and he couldn't answer.

"Don't worry, if I'm really malicious, I'll be as thin as you are with that knife...... Gee. Cheng Qinghe stretched out a finger and shook it disdainfully.

Ruoyun's face was slightly red when he robbed her, and she stood up abruptly and said, "Take the osmanthus cake back, Cheng ...... I have received Cheng Qing and your kindness, don't come to my Su Mansion again in the future. ”

"Hey, don't be angry, I bought it after cutting in line. I'll go first, I'll come back another day. Cheng Qinghe stood up, and without waiting for her to answer, he performed a light skill, and in the blink of an eye, the dark brocade was gone.

Ruoyun held the osmanthus cake in a daze, and the fragrant fragrance seemed to warm the harsh winter.
