It was not a short walk to the main hall.

Ruan Shengrong watched his father invite His Royal Highness King Rui into place, and saluted coquettishly, "Your Highness, the little girl wants to dance a song for you to explain the origin of this butterfly jade." ”

Sure enough, Shen Mingyuan's face twitched, and when he heard Dieyu's name, he instantly became much more sober, Ruan Ying glanced at Shen Mingyuan embarrassedly, and saw that Shen Mingyuan's face was really dark, and he secretly hooked his lips.

Speaking of the source of this butterfly jade, it is inseparable from my brother. At the beginning, Xiao Guifei asked the emperor to use her son to help her work, and told her brother to sulk for a while, why did this noble prince obey the order of one of the emperor's concubines.

These eighty-eight craftsmen, the best jade materials, must be carefully selected by the elder brother before they are decided. At that time, Xiao Guifei was pregnant with a royal heir, and the emperor already favored Xiao Guifei, so she was even more obedient. However, the emperor has five sons under his knees, and the most powerless are the children of their mother concubines, if the emperor had not been willing to keep these two children, they would have fallen into the hands of the other four concubines.

But in the end, their presence is still very eye-catching. The queen set up a bureau and invited the head of Xuanxu Dao to refer to Ruan Ying as the daughter of the country, and she acted with tears in her eyes, and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Ying'er is also my daughter, and sending her to Eastern Qi is not all bad." ”

At that time, the founding county mansion behind the queen was in the limelight, and the emperor was forced to agree, leaving Shen Mingyuan by his side. This situation is almost the same as that of Ruan Ying back then, but just as the carriage of the Great Song Dynasty sent her to that time, the real Ruan Ying had already died in Huangquan because of her weak health, and the people who were responsible for taking care of her were all replaced by royal people. A month later, when the carriage of Rong'an Houfu arrived, she was no longer the princess of the Great Song Dynasty for the time being, but just a little concubine.

At that time, when Shen Mingyuan was ordering someone to make this jade pendant, the servant hurriedly ran to him and said, "Fourth prince, the emperor has sent Princess Fuyue out of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

The servant thought that Shen Mingyuan was as good-tempered as he looked, but he didn't expect him to be surprisingly irritable, so he directly asked for the holy decree to give this jade pendant to his sister. If you want to give it to others, you will burn all the jade. The emperor was embarrassed by Concubine Xiao's gentle words, and felt guilty about the pain of the brother and sister's departure.

But Xiao Guifei is still Xiao Guifei after all, she thinks that a good jade pendant can protect the health of the dragon heir, and the money up and down this jade pendant is the reason for her to spend, and she is very stubborn to ask the emperor to give it to her.

Shen Mingyuan did this better, he did not appeal to the emperor, and secondly, he went directly to the extremely effective treasure temple on the mountain to ask for a consecrated jade pendant, and then went straight to the palace to present it to the emperor. He knelt in front of the emperor and offered this jade pendant with both hands, "Father, since Concubine Xiao Guifei wanted this jade pendant because she wanted the health of the dragon heir, Erchen specially went to Qingfeng Temple to find hundreds of monks to pray for a night, and asked for this jade pendant of enlightenment, and asked her father to give it to her." This butterfly jade is what I want to give to my sister in a foreign country, asking my father to fulfill it. ”

When Concubine Xiao heard the news in the palace, she was really angry. She walked all the way to the imperial study with her stomach in her arms, and when she saw the father and son talking affectionately, she pretended to be weak and walked in. "I've seen the emperor. ”

When the emperor was listening to his son talk about his nostalgia for his mother, and he could vaguely remember some of the appearance of their mother's concubine, Xiao Guifei walked towards them in a luxurious dark blue suit, she leaned against the wall coquettishly, and smiled at the emperor, "Your Majesty, you were chatting with Ming Yuan, the concubine felt that her body was getting better, and she wanted to come to serve the emperor, it turned out that Ming Yuan did it for you." ”

"Don't dare to be, if Concubine Xiao wants to serve, my father and son will retire first. Shen Mingyuan said goodbye to the emperor, and a dark green robe swept in front of Xiao Guifei's eyes. She turned her head to the emperor and smiled, "Your Majesty, what you said to Ming Yuan about that butterfly jade?"

The emperor raised his eyes imperceptibly, and smiled with understanding at this pretty face with condensed skin, "I heard that Yuan asked for a jade pendant for my child?"

"Not bad. ”

Xiao Guifei lowered her head and chuckled, she was angry in her heart, but her tone on the surface became softer and softer, "What a good boy, for the emperor's sake, the concubine will give him this piece of jade." Your Majesty, do you say that your concubines are virtuous, and you are always thinking about you. ”

During the period of her pregnancy, the emperor could not touch her, and men were the most affectionate, and the so-called love was nothing more than falling in love with this good body. What she wants is to capture the emperor's heart, thoroughly.

"Actually, even if you don't give up this piece of jade, I won't blame you. The emperor's eyes were full of affection for her.

Concubine Xiao fell into his arms and said with a grin, "Your Majesty, the concubines have never asked for this piece of jade, with the emperor's favor, everything is not such a thing." Ming Yuan is only eleven this year, and he has this kind intention to pray for me to go up the mountain, I wonder if the queen mother will teach me from it?"

As soon as the empress was mentioned, the emperor's eyes showed murderous intent. This woman has already seen through something, and soon her will completely reveal his monstrous secret. He gently hugged Xiao Guifei, and his face full of stubble touched Xiao Guifei's soft green silk, "Love concubine, the queen will soon be the queen." ”

Because of these words, Concubine Xiao Guifei only felt very happy when she returned to the palace, and she gave up a piece of butterfly jade, and she actually had the emperor's personal promise. She held the warm jade in her hand, thinking of the jade that she personally went up the mountain to beg, and was in a good mood, "Come on, carry a few boxes of gold and silver, and send them to the four princes, they are my lucky stars, and they must not be treated badly." ”

Ruan Shengrong clapped his hands lightly, and pulled Shen Mingyuan, who was distracted, back, this butterfly jade, not only did not cost their brothers and sisters a little gold and silver, but also temporarily got the support of Xiao Guifei for a period of time, although many things happened later, everything was wrong. But this butterfly jade still made him remember it deeply.

Ruan Shengrong in front of him was already dancing, a familiar peach-colored costume flashing in the extremely fast dance steps, but this dance fun was mediocre, but two butterfly-like movements were added to the ordinary dance steps. Ruan Ying lowered his eyebrows and drank a sip of tea with a smile, but Ruan Xiangchang on the side was a little stunned, this smile was faintly visible in the red sleeves, and his delicate face was not lost under this extremely bright color.

As soon as the dance beeped, Shen Mingyuan just nodded lightly, but there was no obvious joy in his eyes, just like a casual compliment, not at all careless, "Not bad." ”

Ruan Sheng was panting, but he could only smile silently, "His Royal Highness King Xie Rui praises." ”

Ruan Bozhi watched Ruan Shengrong finish dancing on the side, although he didn't say it to him beforehand, but it still didn't affect his determination to feel that this dance would win the praise of His Royal Highness King Rui, and when he heard His Royal Highness King Rui's evaluation, his old face didn't hang up, "Does Your Highness not like it?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the king isn't interested. He shook his teacup.

Ruan Bozhi smiled, hurriedly made Ruan Shengrong look down, and then called the housekeeper to offer this piece of butterfly jade. "Your Highness, this is the gift that I offer to Your Majesty in the Rong'an Houfu. Shen Mingyuan moved his gaze from the water in the teacup to the butterfly jade, this jade pendant was specially given to his sister by the secret guard, and only his sister has it in this world. This was originally his sister's thing, how did it become his Rong'an Houfu?

"This king, I like it very much, but this king doesn't like those robbed and stolen things, Master Hou, your treasure is one of the two?" Shen Mingyuan took the jade, as if he didn't have much interest. Then he handed it to Yun Qing, who was serving on the side. "Yun Qing, you take it. ”

Lin'an Palace.

Xiao Ya'an stood slim beside the carriage, some distance not far away, and even Can was waiting at the door with his hands crossed without saying a word.

"Isn't Shizi disguised?" she stepped forward to talk to him with some trepidation.

Lian Can's eyes were still staring at the open and empty door that no one had entered, and his tone was cold, "Why do you want to do this?"

Her gaze fell on Lian Can's somewhat shiny side face, and she said shyly, "Everyone knows the jade face peach blossom of the prince, and this time in the bazaar, there must be many girls who secretly cast their hearts to the prince. ”

Lian Can lowered his eyes, and the eyebrows and eyes were shining, and he seemed to let out a chuckle from his throat, "I don't care, it's just that there is a little girl who may care." ”

At this moment, she suddenly felt a little human touch of him. Lian Shan jumped out of the door, her eyes smart, "Princess Ya'an, let's go." “

Lian Can turned around and walked to the horse that the servant was leading, turned over and got on the horse, "Lian Shan, my brother is a little hungry, let's go to Muyin Pavilion to eat something first." He curled his lips lightly, looking in a good mood.

Xiao Ya'an turned around and looked at him deeply, the young man's clothes went away with the wind, she lowered her head shyly, but her mind suddenly remembered the girl she saw in the courtyard that day, the girl's eyes were firm, even the heart, she had to get it.
