Under the reflection of the candlelight, Wang Jingshu read King Ning's letter over and over again, many times, and she herself was unconscious.

It was getting dark.

Qingyun and the others returned to the inn and brought the delicacies in the restaurant for the princess, which was the princess's favorite dish.

Pushing the door in, "Master, it's time for dinner." The inn's junior said, you haven't eaten at noon. This child must be hungry, it's all the servants, and they didn't come back at noon. Patronized to see the flowers and enjoy the scenery. ”

Wang Jingshu put away the letter as if she didn't care, "It's okay, I'm not hungry." I blame you for what you have done for no reason. Pointing to the table, "Put the dishes down." ”

Qingyun put all kinds of dishes and dishes on the table one by one, "Yes, then you use it slowly, do you need a servant cloth?" ”

"No," there is no need for a few dishes. Wang Jingshu asked casually: "Is the Hundred Flowers Festival here lively?" Are there any rare varieties of flowers that are not available in the palace? ”

Qingyun smiled, "There are no rare varieties, they are all seen in the palace...... But it's quite lively, in fact, it just looks lively. I heard that Ming'er still has it, and it will last for three days, and today is the first day. ”

Wang Jingshu actually guessed it, to put it bluntly, it looked lively, and she was not interested in it. Fu heard Qingyun say again, "Master, do you want to go and see tomorrow?" In fact, it is also good to look at the customs of Hezhou. ”

"I don't want to go," Wang Jingshu said while picking up vegetables, "I'm not interested, let's stay in the inn." Besides, I'm different from you, how can I run around. "She is the princess, except for the carriage and the guest house, the rest of the time she has to wear a hat, she can't show her head too much, if she still runs around, once it reaches the ears of others, she will be caught.

When you're away from home, it's all about prudence.

Qingyun smiled and laughed, "I heard Sister Youxiao say that the master received a letter from the prince?" What did he say, I saw that the master was in a good mood. There was a little more ridicule in the words.

Qingyun followed Miss Rong during the day and served the princess at night, so she didn't know much about things during the day. Normally, only Lin Youyou will bite her ear with her when he knows the void, and tell her a little roughly.

Wang Jingshu didn't admit that she was in a good mood because of the prince's letter, she didn't want her mood to be seen through by the maids, "Who said that I was in a good mood because of the prince's letter." He likes to come or not, so it's better not to come, so that I don't have to write back to him. ”

It's a pity that Qingyun must not believe it, pretending not to mention the letter, "Does the master want to reply?" The servant will give you the four treasures of the study! ”

Wang Jingshu only chewed the vegetables in her mouth and did not speak.

After a while, Qingyun borrowed the four treasures of the study room with a very good look, "Master, you think quietly alone at night and write quietly." Then he snickered again.

Wang Jingshu glanced at Qingyun, her slightly hot face immediately lowered a little, she only knew how to eat with vegetables, and didn't say anything else, just as if she hadn't heard it.

And Qingyun didn't say anything anymore, she could see that her master was thin-skinned, and some things were not easy to say clearly, and she was easy to be shy.

About half an hour, after dinner, I took off a whole set of pearl heads, bathed and changed clothes, and then Wang Jingshu didn't want to wait for the maid, "Qingyun, you go back to your room to rest, you don't have to wait, I want to read a book." ”

Where is reading a book, it is clear that you want to write a letter. Qingyun no longer pierced, "Yes, but if the master has something, you can call someone again." "I packed up the house and went out.

Wang Jingshu casually took a copy of "Zizhi Tongjian" and looked through it, these days it was boring to sit in the carriage, except for chatting with Lin Youxiao, there was really nothing to do, so I had to take the book and read. After reading "Historical Records" during the day today, she took this "Zizhi Tongjian", in fact, she has already read it countless times. The faint lines in those books confirm those boring times.

But this time she didn't read a word, she knew that her thoughts were all in the letter, and all in how to reply to it. Anyway, it's not in this book at all, but she doesn't know what to do to hide her inner ...... Confused? I don't know if it's for faith or for people, or both.

Sitting, it was completely dark, it was already a moment, and the candle flame was faint.

Wang Jingshu closed it, sat down at the table, took a pen, and began to write a letter. Originally, she didn't reply to the letter, but the meaning of the prince's letter was already clear, and she had to reply. But at first she didn't know what to reply, so she wasted two or three pieces of paper and crumpled them into a ball.

Think about it again.

A handful of strong and powerful regular scripts.

- Lord, everything is fine, don't read it. We have arrived in Hezhou and will soon be in Qianzhou. The Liu family knew about it. Not long ago, when I was in Xiangcheng, Jiangzhou, I entered Rongfu to visit my relatives, and for some reason I brought a junior girl with me, and she will stay in Pingzhou Ningwangfu. I know that I made the decision without the permission of the prince, and it was really a sudden move, I hope you know now, don't blame. Think.

Regarding Rong Ruofen, Wang Jingshu thought about it and finally decided to tell the prince that he knew that paper could not hold the fire, not to mention that even if he wrote a letter, if he didn't talk about it, when he arrived in Pingzhou, he was not ready to accept it, and it would be called a joke for those concubines. It's just that she didn't explain in person, she was afraid that the prince would have doubts.

Although she wrote a few words, Wang Jingshu was still satisfied, and immediately put away the pen, folded the letter, put it in the envelope, and wrote four more words - the prince opened it himself and sealed it with wax oil.

Until the early morning of the next day, Wang Jingshu handed over the letter to Lin Youxiao, and asked Lin Youxiao to order the guard Hongyan to send the letter.

Wang Jingshu just finished dressing up, Rong Ruofen knocked on the door, Qingyun was serving her, "It should be Miss Rong who is here, and Sister Youxiao told her to have the rules of morning and dusk, I think she listened, do you want to see the master?" ”

Although they have been on the road together in the past few days, it is rare to see Ruofen, who brought her to see her for a few years, if she is not seen, it seems that she is deliberately avoiding others, "See! ”

Qingyun immediately opened the door and led Rong Ruofen inside, followed by Lin Youxiao. Today she is wearing a thin jacket embroidered with butterflies, the butterflies are lifelike, and it seems to be quite appropriate, after all, she is still young and looks lively in her clothes, but Wang Jingshu suddenly thought of four words, attracting bees and butterflies.

Rong Ruofen saluted, "Say hello to the princess and master." ”

The rules of etiquette are a little better, and it seems that there is a bit of the posture of a princess in the palace, and I think it is Lin Youxiao who has taught him. But she changed from the princess's aunt to the princess's master, and she was a little unaccustomed to calling Wang Jingshu all of a sudden. stepped forward two steps to help her up, and asked with a smile, "Why don't you call the princess and aunt?" ”

Rong Ruofen stood upright, her eyebrows lowered by two points, "Sister Youxiao said, in front of the princess, anyone must call the master, and even your parents will perform the national salute and call the master." Naturally, I'm no exception. The relationship between monarchs and ministers is as big as the sky, and everywhere they go is there a clear distinction between respect and inferiority. ”

Having said that, Wang Jingshu's heart was a little weird, obviously she thought that Rong Ruofen didn't understand the etiquette in the palace so she asked Lin Youxiao to teach, but this time she looked at her rules and etiquette, and seemed to find that it was not what she wanted. Looking at Rong Ruofen, it seemed that she saw those people in the palace again, gradually reining in her edge, gradually becoming more disciplined, and gradually losing her previous youthful and unfamiliar feelings, perhaps because she saw a similar change in herself to her, "Perhaps, you can call my aunt and be closer." "Actually, it's nothing serious." ”

Rong Ruofen has been taught by Lin Youxiao, knows how to restrain her edge, and knows that she should behave without losing Rongfu or her aunt's face, "It's not strange to have many people." In the future, I will ask the princess and aunt every morning and dusk. ”

"Since I was brought into King Ning's Mansion by you, I will abide by the rules and responsibilities, and I will never let people look down on me, nor will I embarrass you."

The sudden change, Wang Jingshu was surprised and delighted, all thanks to Lin Youxiao's teaching. With Ruofen's words, she was a lot more relieved, "Okay." ”

At least Rong Ruofen's attitude is much better than before, and that is more important than anything. Fu heard Rong Ruofen say, "Aunt Princess, I want to write a letter to report the safety of my family. Can I deliver the letter? ”

Wang Jingshu has not yet sent a letter to her family, she has to wait until she arrives in Pingzhou to send the letter, "Now I am afraid that I can't, I haven't arrived in Pingzhou yet, but I am tired of them." It's better to wait until we arrive in Pingzhou, and then we will send a message, so that we can tell them the specific address of Ningwangfu, and it will be more convenient to communicate later. I have been out of Kyoto for more than a month, and I have never sent a letter to Wang's house. ”

Even so, Rong Ruofen stopped mentioning this matter, although she was a little disappointed, she knew that what she said was right.

But she is a child in the end, young and careless, and it is inevitable that she will show a little displeasure on her face. And Wang Jingshu can understand her homesickness, but she also feels in her heart that since a person has decided to follow him to Pingzhou, he must bravely face more thoughts in the future.

The path that a person chooses for himself must be followed no matter what. Ruofen doesn't have a choice, unlike them. Therefore, Wang Jingshu was not used to her, and only proposed, "There is still a Hundred Flowers Festival in Lotus Town today, why don't you go together and have fun." ”

Qingyun said, "I'm not going today, it's better for Sister Youxiao to go shopping with Miss Rong." The servant is with you. ”

Rong Ruofen was very willing to talk to Lin Youxiao, and happily agreed. In this way, Lin Youxiao could only follow along.

Wang Jingshu ordered Lu Qing to be his entourage and follow the two girls to the Hundred Flowers Festival.

Qingyun looked at the window and looked at the backs of the three of them leaving, a little unclear, "Master, why do you have to be accompanied by the Lu guards?" ”

Wang Jingshu's plan didn't want Qingyun to know, she wanted to match Lin Youxiao with Lu Qing. If it is a good thing to match, but if it can't be matched, then now one less person knows that it will not be bad and knows the innocence of the girl's family, "When the two girls go out, even if they wear hats, it is inevitable that there will be disciples who covet one or two, and ask the guards to follow them, so as to protect them." ”

Qingyun didn't notice anything, and after thinking about it again, he couldn't think of any other reason, so he just responded.

"Okay, my good Qingyun, I'm hungry, breakfast is useless, don't you want to set the meal?" Wang Jingshu smiled and mentioned the breakfast, saving Qingyun from thinking about what to be famous for.

Qingyun really didn't think about anything else, and began to set the meal, "Yes, yes, it's time for the master to have breakfast." ”

Simple meals, when going out, Wang Jingshu doesn't want to be extravagant and wasteful, so she just orders the maids to have a simple meal. But even if it is simple, there are ten kinds of food, and plates and plates are placed on the table one after another, and the table is so small that it looks like a lot.

Wang Jingshu pretended to ask casually while drinking millet porridge: "When you go out, you don't know, what's important in the palace?" ”
