The sound of Yin Liang on the table came, and the person standing behind Ruyi muttered in a low voice: "I also bet on the prince to win." ”

After that, there was no big movement, probably because Ruyi's shout was too imposing than her face looked.

Many people have firmly believed that this Ke Changzai came with 'holy will', and some people have even begun to blindly follow the trend, trying to move the silver they have already placed in a position.

Prince Xun glanced at Ruyi in astonishment, and then raised his eyes to Jingchen's side, seeing that Jingchen didn't look at himself, but also stared at Ruyi, with a strange proud smile on his face, he knew that this was definitely not what Jingchen meant.

Xiao Changzai can't stand it anymore to help him?

Anyway, seeing that Mu Chengyi was bluffed by the sudden killing, Prince Xun was still secretly happy in his heart.

Look at how rampant he is, Xiao Chang can bet on his most valuable jewelry to win!

Although Prince Xun won steadily just now, but he was targeted by Mu Chengyi again and again, his mentality was still a little bad, and Ruyi ruined Mu Chengyi's limelight, which was a good mood for Prince Xun.

Mu Chengyi snorted twice: "The little master is so big, this step is worth a lot." ”

Ruyi bowed his head, not to be outdone: "I still know the truth of willing to gamble and lose, but Mu Gongzi still doesn't have to worry about me, I will definitely be able to get it back with this step." ”

This is to say that the one who can compete with Jingchen in the end must be Prince Xun, Mu Chengyi himself is not in battle, saying that no one has a fixed number, and just talking about it may not be more imposing, so he smiled and lowered his eyes, and no longer answered.

Li Shuanglin came with Ruyi, and after three or two sentences, it could be seen that Prince Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and the depression that was held in his heart just now was relieved, and his eyes became more and more determined, it seems that Mu Chengyi's influence on the prince has almost dissipated because of this small episode.

When the goal was achieved, Ruyi would not stay for long, she met Jingchen's gaze, quickly returned to Jingchen's side and sat down, looking forward to the next competition and results.

Jingchen didn't feel at ease on the other side, and when the shout sounded, he approached Ruyi and said, "Not bad." ”

is very calm, Li Shuanglin followed the past and didn't even have a chance to help, she has experienced a lot in the past few months, and she has grown a lot.

I thought that this little girl was going to bow her head shyly again, but I didn't expect Ruyi to turn her face sideways, her ears were red, but her eyes did not dodge, and her eyes were shining: "The emperor is here, and the concubines are at ease." ”

The little look was proud and cute, Jingchen was stunned for a moment, and then raised his hand to rub the bridge of his nose, but he bounced off and crooked to the side, and his heart beat faster by Ruyi, a little embarrassed.

didn't want Ruyi to see his abnormality, after Jingchen bounced it away, he coughed lightly twice and lowered his eyes to drink tea, drank two sips and peeked at Ruyi, and found that Ruyi didn't look at her at all, but really cared about whether Prince Xun could win to the end.

Seeing that Prince Xun was hit by the bull's-eye, he clenched his fists and waved, and shouted in a low voice: "Okay! ”

Jingchen pursed his lips, put the teacup heavily in his heart, and frowned and glanced at Li Shuanglin.

Li Shuanglin sighed in his heart, and hurriedly came over: "Your Majesty? ”

"There's no firewood in the palace?" Jingchen snorted and glanced at Ruyi.

Li Shuanglin was dumbfounded: "This... Does the emperor feel a little cold? The minions, let them add two more charcoal fires. ”

Jingchen snorted, tapped the table with his fingers, and pointed to the tea.

Li Shuanglin came to his senses, hurriedly brought it over, lifted the lid and pounced on his face, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this tea is hot." ”

Jingchen's eyes widened, Li Shuanglin immediately smiled, opened his eyes and said nonsense: "The minions below are sloppy, they really deserve to die, the minions will go to change a cup of tea for the emperor." ”

Jingchen raised his eyebrows and waved his hand to signal that he could retreat.

Ruyi, who heard the movement, looked at it for a while, and he didn't understand the strange 'tacit understanding' between Jingchen and Li Shuanglin, so he could only blink his eyes and ask curiously: "Does the emperor think the temperature of the tea is not appropriate?" ”

Jingchen replied vaguely and raised his eyebrows: "Is the milk delicious?" ”

Ruyi smiled sweetly: "It's delicious." ”

As soon as the words fell, Jingchen reached out and brought the milk in front of Ruyi.

Ruyi was startled, and raised her hand in a panic to stop it, but unfortunately Jingchen moved too fast, just drank it, and gave her a drink, and after drinking it, she tasted it for a while, and said: "It's good, I haven't drunk it since I was seven years old, and I almost forgot what it tasted like." ”

Ruyi's face is flushed, this. What is this like, how can the emperor drink what she has drunk.

It's not decent, it's not decent.

Seeing that Ruyi's attention was no longer on Prince Xun's side, Jingchen smiled proudly, then pursed his lips again, hiding his smile, feeling a bit like a jealous child, obviously he asked Ruyi to join in the fun, and now he hopes that she will always focus on herself, which is really contradictory.

Ruyi stared at his empty bowl for a while, the 'culprit' couldn't be provoked, there was still milk left in the corners of his mouth, and he looked like a 'child king', which made Ruyi laugh.

She took out her embroidered handkerchief, leaned over to Jingchen, and wiped the corners of his mouth: "If the emperor wants to taste the taste, he will order a bowl again, what should he do with the concubines." ”

The shed was smoked warmly, magnifying the very shallow aroma of Ruyi's body 10,000 times to drill into her nose, she was close at this time, and the embroidered handkerchief was also Ruyi's unique aroma, like her, it was a light sweetness.

Jingchen stared at her, originally just thinking in his heart, but unconsciously read out: "Your bowl is sweeter." ”

Ruyi's hand moved, and then the whole person turned red like a ripe tomato.

I thought that this girl had mastered some skills not to blush so much, but it turned out that she was still so thin-skinned.

Jingchen laughed happily, there were a lot of people here, he didn't want to hug Ruyi and tease her again, so he just smiled and looked at her like this, and when Ruyi eased up and his face was not so red, Jingchen tilted his face to the direction of the table, and asked her half-ly, "Do you want Jing'an to win?" ”

Ruyi reacted for a while before remembering who Jing An was, and said softly: "Doesn't the emperor want the prince to win?" ”

Not really.

But Jingchen doesn't like to cheer others up for his wishes, and his strange possessiveness always makes him can't help but tease her and pull her back to her gaze.

Jingchen pretended to think for a moment, and then hummed: "If Jing An wins, he will come to compete with me." ”

I didn't agree with him just now that he wanted to make a drinking order, and I must be holding back my energy.

If Mu Chengyi really affected his mood, he would definitely be angry, and maybe the two of them would have to fight when they left the palace.

Before Jingchen finished speaking, Ruyi had already laughed: "Then naturally the emperor will win, and the concubines are still looking forward to seeing the emperor's heroic appearance." ”

Jingchen's heart fluttered twice.

It seems like.. It's not very tasteful anymore, after all, he just wants to hear such a sentence, and he has done something stupid in such a big circle.

But I didn't feel bad, like the messy ball of thread was straightened out a little bit, and I felt comfortable, and I didn't care what I did.

Li Shuanglin waited beside him for a while with hot tea, staring at Jingchen's face and looking at it, convinced that the emperor was in a better mood now, so he brought the tea and milk with a shy smile.

The competition over there was about to come to an end, and Prince Xun was standing confidently, completely different from the frowning and irritable appearance just now.

Jingchen looked at it for a while, and sighed with some emotion: "When he was a child, he was poor at archery, he didn't have enough strength, and he couldn't shoot far." ”

Now he has been able to challenge everyone, effortlessly.

It can be seen that not only is he and his father's teaching, but Jing An has also spent a lot of effort in private, but his mind is still not always on these things, Jing Chen knows that Jing An has a poetic soul in his heart, he has no interest in the world, he likes to be an idle prince and become the person he wants to be.

But he also hopes from the bottom of his heart that he can also become a good son recognized by his father.

That's why I hone my archery skills like this, even if I don't like it, I crave a word of praise and recognition.

Jingchen looked at Prince Xun in the distance, and fell into some past contemplation, he actually couldn't remember many things clearly when he was a child, but he didn't forget many things with Jing An.

Ruyi moved to Jingchen's side and said softly: "What about the emperor?" How was the emperor shooting arrows when he was a child? ”

Seeing her curious look, Jingchen suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart, he was smart since he was a child, and he was praised for his writing and martial arts, but he always felt that it was nothing, because the queen mother had always taught him that he should do these things well, when he was a child, he didn't understand, he only knew what the queen mother said, and when he was a little older, he knew that not everyone could be as talented as him, but because he had regarded this as something that should be done well since he was a child, Jingchen didn't have time to be proud or show off anything, The queen mother never allowed him to be proud and complacent, but he didn't expect that when he reached this age, he actually had two points of smugness in front of Ruyi, he used to be lonely, whether it was the queen or Hui Guifei, in their hearts, their own excellence was also a matter of course.

No one had asked him these words.

They will only say that the emperor has been riding and shooting since he was a child, and the concubines are impressed.

Only Ruyi, who has never heard of his past, although he reveres his present, still has curiosity and longing for his past.

Jingchen pursed his lips, but after a while, he still couldn't hide his smile, raised his eyebrows and said, "I haven't lost." ”

Even compared with the first two brothers, he never lost.

The light in Ruyi's eyes flickered, and he admired it with true feelings: "Can the concubine still be detained later?" She fumbled around for a while, and then untied the jade pendant that Jingchen had given her before, "The concubine makes a lot of money, but it depends on the emperor." ”

Jingchen was amused by her, and even seriously argued with her: "Stupid, you know about I, don't others know?" How is it possible to make a fortune? ”

Ruyi didn't know how to count this, and when he saw Jingchen smiling, he also followed Silly Le, tied the jade pendant back on his belt, and muttered: "The concubine doesn't understand this, but the concubine knows that the emperor will definitely win." ”

She just sighed casually, but Jingchen didn't smile much when she heard it.

He thought about it in his heart, but he didn't say anything to Ruyi, in the funny kung fu of the two, the winner had already been divided, Prince Xun won five games in a row, and the last arrow came out on top.

Everyone was cheering to celebrate Prince Xun's victory, only Mu Chengyi lowered his eyes and played with the beads in his hand, and he couldn't see what his expression was.

Prince Xun, who was still a little nervous just now, showed his face at the moment when the result fell, he turned sideways, raised the bow and arrow in his hand high above his head to show Jing Chen, the smile on his face was bright and innocent, and he was as happy as a child, and seemed to have forgotten about the things that he was angry with Jing Chen.

Ruyi successfully bet, not only got back his step, but also got a small bag of silver by the way, which was basically taken out of Mu Chengyi's pocket.

Prince Xun personally came over with Bu Shao and a small money bag, presented Ruyi with both hands, and smiled at two well-behaved little pear vortexes: "Thank you Ke Chang is here." ”

Ruyi pursed her lips and chuckled, handed the step to Mama Zhao on the side, and asked her to help herself put it back on, and then raised the money bag in her hand: "I want to thank the prince, this small bag of silver can be very useful, it can be regarded as the moon silver of the West Courtyard for half a month." ”

The West Courtyard has always been very thrifty in terms of use, unnecessary waste can always be avoided, Rao is so that the silver that can be saved every month is very limited, all of them are reserved to deal with the expenses of the hospital and the side, Ruyi is different from others, without the support of the family, it is really relying on the reward and moon silver that I don't know when to live the days ahead, this bag of silver is a big harvest for her.

Jingchen has never had any concept of Yueyin, who is often in this position, and when he heard Ruyi say this, he took the small money bag and weighed it.

A bit light.

He frowned slightly, opened the bag again and looked, that's all? Is it the amount of half a month?

Since he was a child, he didn't know that silver was rare, and he didn't care about Jingchen, who relied on the queen for the harem, was shocked.

He hesitated for a while, feeling that in front of Prince Xun, he couldn't show that he didn't know too much about the harem, so he returned the money bag to Ruyi with pretending to be calm, and then watched her hand it over to Mama Zhao, and told Mama to pack it up.

Jingchen had another thought in his heart, he silently wrote it down, raised his eyebrows and asked Prince Xun: "What's the matter, don't you get angry with me?" Is it better than that? ”

Prince Xun laughed, which made Mu Chengyi deflated and made him feel happy, who told him to keep making things bad, obviously he didn't bother with him.

Seeing that the time was not early, and he could drink at dinner later, Prince Xun waved his hand and shook his head obediently: "It's not comparable, I can't compare, I just got out of the limelight!" ”

With that, he turned around and walked towards the crowd, enjoying the fruits of his victory.

No one paid attention to the movement here, Jingchen took Ruyi's hand, and said after a while: "The banquet will be held later, I won't take care of you, you sit in the back, just eat well, you know?" ”

Ruyi bowed his head and said that it had been recorded.

"After dinner, everyone will accompany the Queen Mother to celebrate the New Year, and it will be time for the child." Jingchen looked at her dress, it was thick, it shouldn't be cold, "If the Queen Mother or the Queen Mother speaks to you, just come boldly, I'm here, no one will be difficult for you." ”

Ruyi's heart was warm, and he smiled and said yes.

"The end of the New Year. I and the queen are going to send the queen mother back to the palace together, and I can only stay in the queen's palace tonight, and I will accompany you tomorrow for lunch. Jingchen stroked Ruyi's ear hair, pulled her to his side a little, and gently dropped a kiss between her foreheads.

The rules of the ancestors, the society of the country, there are too many things to take into account.

After all, the queen is his wife, the mother of the southern country, over the years, the queen has been by his side, filial piety and generosity, and there has never been a loss of virtue, in these things, Jingchen naturally wants to give her face and dignity.

Fortunately, Ruyi has always been the most sensible, and has never trespassed the rules because of her own liking, and it is precious to her to have such careful care and care as Jingchen.

At the beginning of dinner, Jingchen originally wanted Ruyi to follow him over, but Ruyi felt that it was inappropriate, so many princes and ministers would have to sit together from the other side later, and it was really unseemly for him to follow him like this.

The rules of the Queen Mother's religion are always remembered, and Jingchen is not reluctant to do anything, so she is allowed to go first.

Not far from Jingchen's side to the lake for dinner, Jingchen was really afraid that she wouldn't find it, so he deliberately asked Desheng to follow her to show her the way, but the concubines were all in the imperial garden, the ministers were in Zhulin Lane, the queen accompanied the queen mother, and Concubine Yiniang was not in a hurry, she was alone in the huge hall, and the footsteps seemed to echo.

Ruyi is still the first time to arrive, it's actually good to say it's not good, at least there is a moment of quiet and relaxation, but it's not good to say good, and the ladies and ladies of each family will come in and take pictures of each other later, and they are not familiar with it, and it doesn't seem to be very good to say hello.

After thinking about it, Ruyi still stood up and stood on the porch outside along the small door next to him for a while.

Although it was winter, the fish in the pond were still vibrant, and Ruyi rarely fed the fish, so she walked to the edge of the steps and sat down, holding her face to watch the fish scurrying around.

Mama Zhao stood for a while and laughed: "The slave went to ask for some fish food, and there were few people at this time." ”

Ruyi nodded and said yes, leaning on the handrail next to her and waiting for Mama Zhao to come back.

She flicked the water in front of her with her fingers, and the ripples rippled, and the gathered fish wagged their tails and fled in all directions, all of different colors, which were very beautiful.

The position in which she sat obscured her figure, and the fact that she was already thin and wrapped tightly around her body made it impossible to see Ruyi sitting in this place without approaching the masonry of the handrail of the staircase, or looking from the other side or from the opposite side.

She retracted her fingers after paddling on the water, the lake water in winter was still too cold, Ruyi wrapped her hand back in her arms, and still couldn't help but shiver.

Mama Zhao should be back soon, the dinner is about to start, although the hall is still deserted, but the back kitchen side should be particularly lively.

I guess I can get fish food.

Just thinking like this, Ruyi suddenly heard a very soft voice from the side, not far from her, it should be at the corner of the corridor not far from the handrail she was leaning on.

It was a girl's voice, which came briefly and hurriedly, and a few words could be heard intermittently.

"Someone will come."

“。。。 No, the people are going to have a feast when they move around. ”

As he spoke, he was followed by the laughter of a man, who seemed to push the man out of the corridor, and the girl exclaimed, almost as if it were close to her ears.

Ruyi was stunned.

What's going on?

Who is so bold, knowing that the banquet is about to start, and this place will soon be lively, even dare to come here to flirt? Aren't you afraid of being seen?!

Ruyi took a deep breath, and it was not to stand up for a while, nor was it to continue to sit.

Listening to the girl's voice doesn't seem like being forced.,Listen to the conversation between the two.。。 It doesn't seem like the first time I've done something like this.

Ruyi was a little confused, and didn't notice for a moment that the voice behind him had stopped.

She pondered for a moment, and felt that such a ridiculous thing must not contribute to her prestige, so she made up her mind, and suddenly stood up and turned back.

She was just about to stop drinking, but before she could say anything, she was frightened half to death by the sudden appearance and magnification of the face in front of her.

In the blink of an eye, she was about to see who was standing behind her, when the man reached out and put a heavy push on her shoulder.

The moment she fell, the cold and biting water of the lake submerged her.
