Chapter 12: The Breakfast Storm (1)
Early the next morning, before Lingyu came in, Ruan Qinge woke up.
Maybe she had a good rest yesterday, and she was in good spirits today. When Lingyu opened the curtain and came in, she saw her county lord looking out of the window with bright eyes, and the sunlight sprinkled on her side face, showing that her eyebrows and eyes were particularly soft and pure.
Lingyu held a brocade fur cloak in his hand, and said with a smile, "County Lord, it's time to go and have breakfast with the old lady today." ”
As soon as Lingyu said this, Ruan Tingge remembered that her grandmother liked to get together with her grandchildren, and when she was still in the house, on the fifteenth day of every month, she would go to her grandmother's side for breakfast, lunch and dinner with her grandmother.
"It's still Lingyu intimate." Thinking that he was about to see his grandmother, the corners of Ruan Qingge's mouth curled, and he got up and asked Lingyu to put on his cloak.
Ruan Tingge put on a cloak and led a group of maids out towards the Sangzhi Hall in the southwest.
Now it is also late autumn, and the autumn wind is together, and the leaves are not stopped.
Ruan Tingge walked in the autumn scenery and couldn't help but think of the days in the Xianqing Palace.
She also died in late autumn before. The autumn color of the Qing Palace is depressed, with a lonely and dry gray color, while the autumn color of Fenyang Mansion is a kind of golden yellow, with a full color of harvest pleasure, which makes people's mood full of joy and joy.
The distance to the dining hall is not close, after leaving the main hall where Ruan Tingge lives, you have to pass through three hanging flower gatehouses, copy the verandah on all sides, and have to pass through the peony garden in the west to reach the dining room. Along the way, Ruan Tingge saw many subordinates pruning green plants and sweeping fallen leaves on the side of the road, and the subordinates were all wearing dark gray sprinkler clothes.
The peony garden is full of peonies in full bloom, even if it is late autumn, not the season for peonies to grow, the peonies in the garden are still blooming wantonly. Ruan Tingge couldn't help but stop when he passed by a large field of crimson and silver-red peony flowers.
Lingyu quipped on the side, "The county lord can't walk every time he passes through the garden, and this deep love is not in vain for the prince to spend all his efforts to raise this garden peony to make the county lord happy." ”
Ruan Tingge's eyes moved slightly to look at the peony in this garden, feeling a warm current surging into his heart, and his chest was full of warmth.
She lingered for a moment at the garden gate, and then continued with the maids towards the dining room of the Sangzhi Hall.
Fenyang Royal Mansion covers a wide area, it is the largest mansion in Jinling City except the Imperial Palace, if the description is a little more exaggerated, it is not an exaggeration to say that Fenyang Royal Mansion is a city.
The wealth of the Fenyang Royal Mansion is monstrous, which can be seen from the construction of the palace.
The palace has a double-layer wall, and the first layer from the inside to the outside is the inner city. The living area of the inner city is the sum of other princes and nobles, and the close family members of the king of Fenyang live in the inner city. There are four main halls in the southeast, northwest and northwest corners of the inner city, surrounded by courtyards, attics and wing rooms, and in the center of the inner city are located the council hall and the family memorial arch. The king of Fenyang and his wife and concubine live in the northeast main hall "Zhengde Palace", the prince of Fenyang and his wife and concubine live in the southeast main hall "Siqi Palace", and the mother of the king of Fenyang, Mrs. Yipin Yide, lives in the southwest main hall "Sangzhi Palace". The area between the first and second layers of the city wall is called the outer city, and most of the servants and guards live in the outer city, and at the same time, there are also academies, training grounds, stables and other places in the outer city.
Ruan Yingyang, the king of Fenyang, is the only king with a foreign surname given by the monarch of the current Dongyun Kingdom, and he is also the head of the Ruan family of Chenliu County, one of the three major families of the Dongyun Kingdom. As his only daughter, Ruan Tingge was regarded as the pearl of his palm by Ruan Yingyang, and was favored by him in every way, and directly gave her the privilege of living alone in the main hall in the northwest corner, and personally changed the name of the palace to "Allure Palace".
As the daughter of the Ruan family of the three major families Chen Liu County, and the county lord of the Queen Mother, Ruan Tingge is more proud than the ordinary princess in the palace, and it is such a noble background and a privileged environment that she has developed her arrogant and cold character in her previous life.
The group stopped for nearly half an hour before arriving at the dining room. The maid at the door of the dining room saw Ruan Tingge and hurriedly blessed him, so she opened the curtain to let Ruan Tingge in.
The dining room was already full, and even Nguyen Tingge's grandmother, Mrs. Yi De, was already sitting in the main seat. Seeing Ruan Qinge come in, everyone's eyes fell on her.
It is said that it is full of people, but in fact, there are not many people sitting at the dining table, but everyone is far away, and there are a few maids and cloth dishes standing behind each master, so it seems that the house is bustling.
Ruan Qinge's mother died early, and the king of Fenyang had a deep love with him, so he was reluctant to establish a concubine again, so only her father's two side concubines and several ladies were present, as well as a few of their children. There are also aunts Ruan Heling and her daughter Li Hanqing, who have recently lived in the Fenyang Palace.
Ruan Tingge's face remained unchanged, and he went straight to the first place on the lower right side of Mrs. Yide and sat down, before turning his head and smiling at Mrs. Yide and said, "Ge'er felt a little unwell this morning, so she was late, and asked my grandmother for forgiveness." ”
Mrs. Yide, like the king of Fenyang, was very fond of Ruan Tingge, and she also knew her granddaughter's gluttony and love for night, so she said disapprerovingly, "You girl, if you don't sleep enough, you won't have breakfast with my old woman today, and the place where you live is far away, how tired you are to come here." ”
Seeing her grandmother's familiar and kind face, Ruan Tingge thought of the ending she ended up depressed because of the imprisonment of her father and brother, and couldn't help but show a trace of tears in her eyes, she forcibly endured the sourness in the corners of her eyes, and smiled coquettishly, "Grandmother, although Ge'er doesn't like to get up early, but in order to accompany her grandmother to have breakfast, Ge'er is also very willing to get up early every day." ”
Mrs. Yide couldn't help laughing, "You, you, you're such a flamboyant tongue." She looked at Ruan Tingge carefully and said, "I haven't seen you for a day, why do you look a little taller?" It seems to be a little fatter too. ”
Ruan Tiange was shocked, but her face was coquettish, "Grandmother, why do you still say that Ge'er is fat, it seems that I don't have to eat breakfast today." ”
Mrs. Yide glared at Ruan Qingge and said, "Isn't it good to be fat?" Look at the person you looked thinner than Huanghua before, and my grandmother panicked when she saw it. You're still growing at your age, so you should eat more and gain weight. ”
The grandparents are happy there, but some people can't see it.
The second young lady Ruan Jingjia, who was sitting on the side, endured it for a long time, but she couldn't help but speak, "Seventh sister, as the eldest sister, I have to remind you that we, as juniors, must always remember the principle of order between the young and the old." ”
Although she was smiling, Ruan Jingjia smiled very stiffly, and continued without stopping, "For example, today, you can't let the elders wait for the younger ones to come to eat, don't you say?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the dining room fell silent.
