087, bet on the prince to win
Concubine Yi said this lightly, but it seemed to be very important, and after she finished speaking, she just gathered the shawl for Ruyi, without waiting for her response, and without any more words.
Her smile also became unfamiliar, and Ruyi remembered that she had never known this Yifei Niangniang.
Her kindness, her hatred, she did what she wanted to do, desperately looking for something, even if she reached out and pulled herself a few times, she still never really opened her heart to herself.
Ruyi didn't know exactly when Concubine Yi's kindness to her would end, and she didn't know what Concubine Yi was thinking in her heart.
But Concubine Yi's words always reveal her dislike for the palace.
If one day, the path she wants and takes in her heart is biased from what Concubine Yi thinks is right and wrong, and at that time, will she also judge herself as a damned person so indifferently?
Ruyi pressed down her wandering thoughts and kept up with Concubine Yi's pace.
There are no people who will keep to themselves, only people who will go up.
Kindness and kindness are the most useless things.
For the sake of yourself, in order to survive, you must learn to protect yourself before others do it.

Concubine Yi didn't really let Ruyi go back with her to see the embroidery, but turned out a new dress, a pattern of begonia pear blossoms, and a small gown trimmed with goose down.
Ruyi was originally unwilling to accept it, Yifei Niangniang took a gadget out casually and it was excellent, she had no merit, it was really inappropriate to always accept Yifei's things like this, and the last one sent back was not worn.
Concubine Yi doesn't care about these, she thinks it's appropriate, she thinks of this and gives it as she wants, Ruyi refused for a while, and it was in vain, and after a while, the gown was on the body, but it fits, and it is worthy of Ruyi's headdress today.
"Today I want to accompany the Queen Mother to celebrate the New Year." Concubine Yi spoke softly, "Are you going to wear like this?" โ
Ruyi blinked, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he was wearing today.
Concubine Yi was amused by her stupid appearance, sometimes she thinks that this girl is quite shrewd and her brain is clear, but some things are so-so, she is now the emperor's new favorite, the new favorite does not look like a new favorite, how can others be afraid of two points in their hearts?
Jingchen's hands gave her the 'right', this stupid girl who fell in love obviously didn't know how to use it at all.
"When the New Year is keep, the fireworks are by the lake, even if there is a stove to warm up, it will still be very cold, you just have a shawl, not even a small coat, if you suffer from the wind cold at night, it is also your own sin." Concubine Yi looked at it for a while, helped her button the top collar button, and then laughed.
It's more like a fluffy little bun.
Ruyi lowered her eyes a little embarrassed by Concubine Yi's words, and after half a ring, she hummed and thanked her, and said vaguely: "Niangniang is a very gentle person." โ
Concubine Yi was stunned for a moment, but she said quietly as she intended, and she didn't hear it.
The roots of her ears were a little hot, and she waved her hand and went inside, and drove people away in a tough tone: "The palace is lacking, you go back quickly, don't pestle here, save someone from looking for you in a hurry, and then you will have to come to the palace to have a relationship." โ
Someone looking for her?
Ruyi didn't react for a while, Dong Ju smiled and led Ruyi out, and when she arrived at the gate of the palace, she still couldn't hold back, and gave Ruyi a slight blessing and said: "Little master, don't be weird, my master is not really so weird-tempered, it's just... The lonely days in this palace are too long, my master is very fond of the little master, to wait for the excitement of the New Year's Festival, and please ask the little master to come to accompany my master from time to time to say a few words, my master knife mouth tofu heart, if the little master can come, will be very happy, the slave and maid thank the little master here. โ
She was about to make a big salute, but fortunately, Mama Zhao quickly helped her.
Dong Ju also insisted on kneeling, and Ruyi simply pulled her in person: "Concubine Yiniang has helped me a lot, and often comes to talk to Niangniang for such a trivial matter, even if the girl doesn't say it, I will do it, if I receive the girl's gift, it seems to be deliberate, not my sincerity, it is too much to see." โ
Dong Ju raised her eyes by mistake, although today's incident was forcibly arranged by Concubine Yi to tell Ruyihai Chang's intentions, but in fact, there are more, better and more modest ways to choose, but Concubine Yi did not do that.
She regarded Ruyi as her former self, so she should have imposed her remorse on Ruyi's body, but Fang Jiayue back then was bright and could be domineering, but Ruyi was not, how could two people with completely different backgrounds embark on the same path.
It's just that these words Dong Ju can only hide in the bottom of her heart, and when the right time comes, she can make Concubine Yi understand, she is really a little obsessed with the regrets and obsessions of the past.
She saw in Ruyi the side of her once sincere heart.
But Ruyi is not what she used to be.
Nor will it be a second her.
It can't be her shadow.
The first strike is the way that Fang Jiayue told her former palace that she once was.
And what Ruyi's way in the palace is, she can only tell herself.
Leaving Qingyu Palace, Ruyi lightly touched the goose down on the corner of the gown, and the soft touch was like the fabric of Jingchen's upper body that she had touched.
Mama Zhao looked back several times all the way, and hesitated for a while before asking, "Little master, did Concubine Fang tell you anything?" โ
When Ruyi came out of the Imperial Garden and stood on the road just now, the expression on his face suddenly became very strange.
None of these ladies in the palace are simple.
No matter how you think about it, a person with a strange temper like Concubine Yi Niangniang suddenly treats Ruyi so well, teaching and giving things, and she is still maintaining it in front of people, which always makes her feel uneasy.
If such a horrible word was known to Mama Zhao, it was estimated that she would be scared a lot, Ruyi pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "It's just that the sea is always there. โ
Mama Zhao frowned slightly: "Hai Changzai is indeed excessive, I don't know how much such a move will be in the future in the future, so the little master should be careful to deal with it." โ
"Yes, Concubine Yi may not be able to help us when she comes back." Ruyi responded softly, and saw that Mama Zhao didn't suspect anything, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
vacated, Ruyi remembered the words of Concubine Yi again, Concubine Yi said that someone wanted to find her, who would it be? Why does Yifei Niangniang know?
She actually had a few answers in her heart, but she felt that she shouldn't think so, so she subconsciously denied it.
As expected, before Concubine Yi arrived, Ruyi was stopped by someone before she arrived at the Jade Cui Palace.
It's not been a few hours since I was separated, and now I saw it again, Mama Zhao stared at Desheng and smiled, and really responded to Xiangcui's words, this Desheng Cheng was either looking for Ruyi or on the way to find Ruyi, and he was about to become a person in the West Courtyard.
Fang Cai too, went to the Yucui Palace, heard Xiangcui say that Ruyi was invited by the queen mother, and rushed to Fengyang Palace, and said that the queen mother went to serve the queen mother, and Ke Chang had already gone back earlier.
didn't go back to Yucui Palace, and was not in Fengyang Palace, Desheng asked someone about the whereabouts of the ladies and girls, and then led people to try their luck in the imperial garden.
He had always had good luck, and with his fast footsteps, he was able to catch up.
"The emperor invited the little lord over." Desheng squinted and smiled, "Today is the New Year's Pass, the emperor estimates that the little master should get up for a nap at this time, I am afraid that the little master will not recognize the way to the lake for dinner, so let the slave come and take the little master over first, and there will be no need to toss it during dinner." โ
Mama Zhao pursed her lips and smiled, she was afraid that she would not be able to find a way to say such an excuse, the emperor really regarded Ruyi as a child.
Seeing that last night's warmth was still unfinished, the emperor didn't like to stay with a group of old men or men all the time, so he simply called Ruyi over.
Although Mama Zhao didn't laugh out loud, but a slight hand tremor Ruyi could feel it, her ears were red, but she was still serious and should be under Desheng's words, this is to understand Concubine Yi's intentions, she really hasn't walked back to the courtyard to be invited away, if it is cold at night and is seen by Jingchen, maybe he will take his shawl to her to use, everyone is watching, such an intimate move is afraid that it will be hated to death, with this little gown is different, come to resist the wind at night, you are not afraid of being cold.
Ruyi subconsciously raised her hand and touched the gown, she thought that things were still not thoughtful and comprehensive enough, and she didn't pay attention to what she thought of, but Concubine Yiniang thought about it for her, and the gown was also chosen to be a color that matched the headdress and shawl.
Sure enough, he should be a gentle person in his bones, but he was forced to be like this.
Ruyi sighed in her heart, followed Desheng to change the way, now she doesn't have to ask anything, Desheng led the way in front and said everything she wanted to know: "The emperor and the princes are competing in archery, Prince Xun shouted that he wanted to make a drinking order and was rejected by the emperor, and now the archery is full of strength, and the emperor is losing his temper." โ
Prince Xun is young and has no ambitions, he has always had a good relationship with Jingchen, knowing that Jingchen and the Queen Mother love him, and he has always regarded Jingchen as his royal brother in his heart, which is why he often behaves childishly.
Ruyi listened to it funny, obviously he was about the same age as Prince Xun, I don't know if it was because of Jingchen, but also in my heart I regarded Prince Xun as a younger brother: "Prince Xun works so hard, can you win the emperor?" โ
Desheng grinned: "The little lord doesn't know yet, our emperor riding a horse and archery is a must, the first emperor has boasted, can compare with our emperor, that is a great glory, the prince is comparing with the sons at this time, look at it is to come out on top and then come to consult our emperor, when the slave left, it was only half of the comparison, the emperor invited the little master to go over, the little master can have a lively look." โ
It turned out that she was planning to let her go to see the excitement.
As soon as Ruyi finished thinking about it, Mama Zhao whispered next to her and said what she didn't dare to think: "The emperor is going to show off in front of the girl he likes, how can the little master not go?" โ
is completely a little boy who has just fallen in love, it can be seen that even if he is a son of heaven, he is really moved, and he is no different from ordinary men in the world.
It's not that he doesn't know how to think about it, it's just that he hasn't met anyone worthy of his side in the past.
Ruyi's ears were said to be hot by Mama Zhao, but she still had to hold on to her composure, and she was not shy to bow her head.
Mama Zhao stared at Ruyi for a long time, the little girl is also growing, such a cute and soft little bun, her eyes are bright and thorough, who wouldn't like it?
Fortunately, Mama Zhao spoke quietly, but Desheng didn't hear it, and he was also worried about the excitement over there, saying that he had heard Master Li Shuanglin mention it, as if Prince Xun's archery skills had also been taught by the emperor.
When the first emperor was there, most of them could only hear about it.
At that time, Ruyi was still in Qingyao, following her father and mother, she never thought that she would one day have an intersection with the Son of Heaven, and she rarely heard anyone mention Jingchen's childhood, there are still too many things that they don't understand, and they need to know about the past, Ruyi is curious, but she won't dig too much, and the hazy feeling makes people more excited.
What would Jingchen be like when he was a child?
Is it a little more stubborn, or is it like a little adult?
Will he also be troubled by hard study?
When he practiced martial arts, did he also put more effort into private for the praise of the first emperor?
Ruyi's thoughts drifted around, and a little doll with eyebrows and eyes similar to Jingchen popped up in his mind, carrying a bow that was almost as tall as himself, and he looked serious and was teaching Prince Xun, who was a little younger than him.
The scene must be very beautiful, and I can't stop laughing just thinking about it.
Desheng didn't know what Ruyi thought of laughing like this, but seeing that she was in a good mood, he said more about what he heard.
Jingchen was the most gifted child among all the princes of the first emperor.
The two elder brothers are more inclined to force, and the younger Jing'an is proficient in calligraphy and painting, only Jingchen is both civil and military, and he has not fallen too much, and has a keen intuition about policies, and is a natural emperor.
No matter how unconvinced Prince Ying and Prince Rui were, they must admit that their unwillingness and anger could not shake the foundation of Jingchen's rule over the southern kingdom.
Once the stupid ambition crosses the line, the knife in Jingchen's hand will mercilessly cut off the already fragile brotherhood.
So the archery competition between the young men did not come at all.
He and Jingchen are the same age, not to mention Jing'an, there is no glory for the child if he wins, but it is not good-looking if he loses, so he simply finds a reason not to participate.
Prince Rui didn't come, Jingchen was also happy, and when Ruyi followed Desheng around the path to the open field, the boys' cheers were coming wave after wave.
The front was surrounded by water, and he couldn't see what the scene was at all, but when he heard this movement, he knew that something very interesting had happened, and Desheng stretched his neck to watch, and he wanted to lead the way to Ruyi.
When I got to the side of the big shed at the back, Ruyi stood on the high platform and saw the situation a little more clearly.
But it's just a mess of people who are coaxing, and they can't hear what is being said clearly, and the causes and consequences are still confused.
I went around to the front and found that Jingchen was not in the position, and it took me a long time to find Jingchen in the gap surrounded by the crowd, he was wearing civilian clothes, talking to the people around him with a side face, and the restlessness lasted for a while before dissipating a lot, Jingchen seemed to have made a decision, and when he turned around and came over here, he saw Ruyi standing on the high platform, first stunned for a moment, and then laughed at the corners of his mouth, and after a while, he restrained his smile, but when he walked back, the steps under his feet involuntarily sped up.
When Jingchen arrived, he pulled her by the hand and walked towards his position, the cushion was thick and wide, not to mention a petite Ruyi, even if there were three more men, it would be more than enough.
Ruyi was curious about what happened just now, and after sitting down, she asked, Jingchen asked her to give her hot milk, and whispered the little episode just now to her.
It turned out to be Mu Chengyi's pick, not to mention that his little cousin was a good archery player since he was a child, and he was able to win the little son of the Shaoqing family.
Many people followed to watch the excitement and bet, just now the two of them were three arrows each, and the number of targets was the same, which caused a lot of excitement and asked Jingchen to make a decision.
Ruyi blinked: "Then who did the emperor judge to win?" โ
"Two more arrows, and then a comparison." Jingchen chuckled, "But the two of them are very good, looking at their young age, but their archery skills are much better than children of the same age, Mu Chengyi is unreliable, his little cousin is very similar to the Tong family, I want the queen to be able to shoot arrows back then, and I have been praised by my father when I was on the forest field." โ
Jingchen mentioned it casually, and when he raised his eyes, there was already a new target on the field, and the two little guys were very serious, and they must have been holding back their strength.
Ruyi also followed Jingchen to look over, but it was difficult to connect the dignified, self-controlled, tired and sick queen mother with the sassy and heroic archery daughter's family.
But everyone has a past.
In a few years, she will not be what she is now.
The two of them are full of strength in the competition, Ruyi can't tell who is who, only know that there is a victory and defeat after the two arrows, the little boy of the Shaoqing family is obviously too tight, and he actually misses the target with an arrow, and many people feel embarrassed.
But in the end, he is still young, and it is not a big deal to lose, and the small episode quickly covered up, but Jingchen stared at Mu Chengyi thoughtfully for a while, and after a while, he retracted his gaze, and the prince Xun on the field continued to compete with the prince next to him.
Mu Chengyi is a complete bastard, he doesn't shoot arrows by himself, but he is very good at arching fire.
He targeted Prince Xun and pressed Prince Xun to lose, which made Prince Xun angry, and he was upset when he drew the bow.
If it goes on like this, there will definitely be problems, after all, Prince Xun is still too young, young and vigorous, and he is the most unstimulated.
Sure enough, Mu Chengyi was still the same frivolous appearance, the money bag in his hand was open to the side, he took out a silver ingot, and said lazily: "Prince Xun, lose." โ
He narrowed his eyes and smiled kindly.
Prince Xun clenched the bow in his hand and frowned.
Back to catch up with the New Year's Festival into the palace or the spring and autumn out of the palace hunting, such a small excitement is not forbidden, everyone together is a joke, someone will get up and someone will echo it, the silver is not much, for everyone like this net worth is just a trivial matter.
There are all those who are detained, but Mu Chengyi's blatant provocation is really infuriating.
But you can't say that he did anything wrong, you can't turn his face because he always bets on himself to lose, right? Seems to be very narrow-minded, Prince Xun is now as disgusting as swallowing a fly.
These things were clearly seen on the high platform, Ruyi glanced at Jingchen, and saw that he had no intention of taking care of it, so he said softly: "Your Majesty. . . Don't you help the prince? โ
If Jingchen opened his mouth to bet on Prince Xun to win, Mu Chengyi would definitely not dare to be so presumptuous.
Jingchen looked at her sideways, and reached out to pinch her face: "If you are going to start a family, carry it yourself, such a trivial matter." โ
This is being stared at, can't breathe and can't swallow it, that taste is not comfortable, Ruyi feels that it is not 'such a trivial matter' to say the past, Prince Xun will be really hot later, maybe something will happen.
Besides, Ruyi can see that Jingchen has a good relationship with Prince Xun, and he also wants to love his younger brother, but he has too many things in the way, and sometimes he has to watch from the sidelines, hoping that he can grow from it.
Ruyi's eyes rolled, and when he saw that it hadn't started yet, he approached Jingchen and said: "The emperor asked the concubines to come over, just looking at how boring it is, they are all detained, can the concubines also be detained?" โ
Jingchen hooked the corners of his lips and smiled, Li Shuanglin saw that the emperor was talking to Ke Chang, and he also raised his hand to signal that he was slow, don't be in a hurry to start first.
"You? You have to have money for the bet, have you brought it? Jingchen teased her, thinking that if she asked for it, she should think of a good return.
Unexpectedly, Ruyi directly pulled out the root and shook it down, and it was given to her by herself, embedded with gold and jade, which was worth a lot of money.
"Is this okay?" Ruyi's face is pure and kind, and he can't tell if he is really stupid or deliberate.
Jing Chen held a mouthful of blood in his heart and almost didn't spurt out, he frowned, and pinched her face with a little force in his hand: "You just used the things I gave you?!" โ
Ruyi held Jingchen's hand, rubbed his face again, and smiled: "The emperor gave it to the concubine, it's the concubine's, besides, didn't the emperor laugh at the concubine's lack of silver, but the concubine felt that she could win, and this step must be worn back." โ
She looked confident.
Jingchen called her to come and see the excitement, originally hoping that she would be happy, after all, when dinner began, he couldn't care about accompanying her until the end of the New Year's Celebration, hoping that the current time could make her feel comforted.
"Whoever you want to bet, go yourself." Jingchen patted her on the back and watched her get up with gentle eyes.
Ruyi held his own step, lifted the hem of his skirt and walked towards the little eunuch in front of him.
Everyone's movements stopped, of course they knew that this Ke Changzai was the emperor's new favorite, and no one cared about her every move, but whether it contained holy will was worth pondering.
Ruyi knew that Jingchen was not easy to speak or make a move, she saw Jingchen staring at Mu Chengyi's gaze, and also saw Jingchen's hand playing with the jade pendant with some irritability, she just figured out what Jingchen meant, took this step bravely, put the step on the table, and said in a clear voice: "I am Prince Xun." โ
She stood up straight, turned her face sideways, looked past Prince Xun and others, and landed accurately on Mu Chengyi, who was holding her face.
Mu Chengyi narrowed his eyes and maintained the smile on his face.
Ruyi also evoked a smile, she took a deep breath, and said firmly and loudly: "I bet on the prince to win!" โ
