Chapter 33: The Covenant of the Rockery

After the chrysanthemum banquet in Mengfu, the Fenyang Mansion received banquet invitations from many families for several days, but Ruan Tingge did not go again.

Ling Chengyu had already sent someone to send the waist pendant to the Fenyang Palace, but Ruan Qingge just told Lingyu to put the waist pendant away, and then threw it in the corner of the warehouse to eat ashes.

From the last banquet in the Meng Mansion, Ruan Tingge could see that the Jinling Meng family and Ling Chengyu had secretly made an agreement, and they had secretly stood on Ling Chengyu's side to fight for the storage position.

And Ling Chengyu has already set her as a target, and has started to calculate and act like in her previous life.

Watching the enemies of the previous life step by step on the established trajectory of fate, slowly continuing to repeat the story, Ruan Tingge had a strong sense of urgency and crisis in his heart.

Even if she would not be deceived and used by Ling Chengyu in this life, he was still a very dangerous enemy. If he finds that he can't use himself, he will try his best to use others to achieve his own goals.

But if she wanted to be false in front of Ling Chengyu and get intelligence information, she was extremely resistant in her heart.

Ruan Tingge's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly remembered Ling Chenghe, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

In his previous life, one of the most critical reasons why Ling Chengyu was able to become the emperor was that Ling Chengsi was assassinated and killed.

In Dongyun, a big country with a concubine, as long as there is a son-in-law, it is completely impossible for the concubine to inherit the family business.

Therefore, after the death of Ling Chenghe, because there is no concubine from the queen, those concubines can justifiably compete for the throne.

Another point is that Ling Chengyu used himself to steal the order of the head of the Ruan family and the military order of Fenyang, forcing the emperor to make him the prince by decree.

These two points are the key to Ling Chengyu's victory from the throne, and now she only needs to protect Ling Chengyu's life.

It is still necessary to get closer to Ling Chenghei and have a good relationship with him in order to have a chance to save his life.

Remembering the last time he was dead-skinned and coaxed Ling Chengsi to promise to accompany him to the palace to play, Ruan Qinge showed a smile on his face.

She thought about it for a while and then instructed Lingyu, "You have someone send a message to the Three Princes' Mansion, saying that he should not forget the covenant of the rockery." ”

On the morning of the second day, Ruan Qinge entered the palace.

She went to the Queen Mother's bedroom first, and the Queen Mother was very happy to see Ruan Tingge, "You girl thought about coming to see me today." ”

The Queen Mother and Ruan Tingge's grandmother, Mrs. Yide, are compatriots of the same mother, and they are somewhat similar in appearance. Her phoenix eyes drooped slightly, she was wearing a vermilion brocade robe, embroidered with a bird pattern, and she was holding a picture of kindness and kindness.

The Queen Mother has always loved Ruan Tingge, and often asked her to come to the palace to play, but in recent years, Ruan Tingge has become older, and she has come less.

At this time, the Queen Mother took Ruan Tingge's hand, looking left and right to see if she was in love, "Have you grown taller recently?" Look at this little face, the longer it grows, the better it looks. ”

Ruan Tingge felt the warmth of the Queen Mother's palm, and her heart was also slightly warm, and a coquettish smile appeared on her face, "It's been a long time since I've seen my aunt and grandmother, and I want to enter the palace to see you today." ”

The Queen Mother was even happier when she heard it, and kept Ruan Tingge for lunch in the palace.

After lunch, Ruan Tingge sat with the Queen Mother for a while, and then smiled and said to the Queen Mother, "Auntie, I want to go to the Imperial Garden." ”

The queen mother likes the way the younger generations are intimate with her, and when she heard Ruan Tingge's coquettishness, she suddenly laughed so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and said happily, "Okay, go play, I'll let An Ran accompany you." ”

An Ran is the queen mother's personal palace maid, who has served the queen mother for decades, and now she is not young, her hair is tied neatly, and her face is a little serious.

When she heard the Queen Mother's words, she saluted and said, "The slave obeys." ”

"There's Aunt Lao Anran." Ruan Tingge said to An Ran with a smile.

Seeing that Ruan Tingge was also very polite to her, a smile appeared on An Ran's straight face, "The county lord is polite." ”

The group didn't have long to walk before they arrived at the Imperial Garden.

There are many pavilions and corridors in the imperial garden, and the ancient cypress and old pines are planted all over, and the strange stones and jade are listed, and the flower beds are bonsai. Go to the rockery, see the beautiful trees verdant, the strange flowers are multi-colored, and a trickle of clear water from the depths of the flowers and trees twists and turns under the stone gaps.

The rockery is dotted with vibrant green bamboos and all kinds of strange-shaped stones, which are stacked together, abrupt and extraordinary.

There was a person standing in the pavilion on the side, dressed in a dark green brocade robe, with a tall posture and a faint expression on his handsome face.

That person was none other than Ling Chenghei.

An Ran saluted on the side and said, "I've seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince." ”

Ling Chengsi nodded, looked at Ruan Qinge, and saw her eyes winking slightly mischievously at him, and he couldn't help but show a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Ruan Qingge said to An Ran, "Aunt An Ran will go back first, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince and I will walk here." ”

An Ran looked up at the two of them when he heard this, with a little surprise in his eyes, but he didn't say anything more, and retreated.

Seeing An Ran walking away, the two stood in the gazebo and looked at each other, but they were quiet for a while.

Ling Chengsi didn't like words, but when he saw the girl standing in front of him with smiling eyes, he wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say.

He received a message from Ruan Tingge in the mansion yesterday, and immediately remembered the morning next to the lotus pond in the Fenyang Palace. Originally, he was going to discuss things with his staff today, but remembering the girl's innocent and lovely smile, he pushed off today's affairs and entered the palace to make an appointment.

The two looked at each other and were silent for a while, seeing that Ling Chengsi's expression seemed to be faint, a pair of dark eyes stared at him without speaking, Ruan Qinge's long eyelashes blinked, and he took the initiative to open his mouth to break the silence.

She said in a brisk voice, "Brother Chenghei is still very obedient, I thought I wouldn't see you today, but I just wanted to come over and try my luck." ”

"I didn't expect you to really wait for me here," Ruan Tingge said with a smile on his face, "Tingge feels very happy." ”

Ling Chengsi heard her express his joy so directly, a trace of unease appeared on Jun's face, who had always been expressionless, and he was about to speak.

I only heard Ruan Tingge's words turn around, and then said, "However, since the last time we met, more than a month has passed, and I haven't seen Brother Cheng invite me to the palace to play." ”

After speaking, he seemed to be a little angry and turned his head away.

Every time Ruan Chengge sees Ling Chengsi, his temperament will become much more lively, and when he sees Ling Chengsi's taciturn appearance, he can't help but want to tease him.

Ling Chengsi then spoke, "There have been a lot of affairs recently, and I forgot about it for a while. There was some apology in his voice, looking at Ruan Tingge's awkward appearance, but he didn't know how to coax her.

After thinking about it, he said, "How about I accompany you to take a good look around here today?" ”

Ruan Chengge turned around at this time, smiling like a flower, how could he be angry, Ling Chengsi suddenly knew that he had been tricked by her.

Looking at Ruan Tingge's mischievous smile, he did not have the slightest displeasure in his heart, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The two walked down the pavilion and began to wander along the rockery.
