At this point, the carriage had been slowly driving and preparing to leave the palace, but before it left the palace gate, he heard that the carriage was stopped, and the horse was startled, and then someone asked: "The lord of Changle is here." ”

The maid beside Rong Yan, Qing Barley, raised her hand to open the curtain, stretched out her head to take a look, and saw Yunyue.

The sister of the current prince, ranked ninth, is only an eight-year-old princess of Hehuan.

Qing Barley hurriedly said: "Miss, it's the Ninth Princess." ”

Rong Yan got up slowly, got out of the carriage, and saluted Princess Hehuan: "Ninth Princess, the courtier Rong Yan greets the Ninth Princess." ”

Yunyue looked at her carefully, and then said: "Yesterday's gift, this princess couldn't see it with her own eyes, it's really a pity for this princess, I heard the palace maid say that your gift is infinite?" It's not inferior to my aunt back then? ”

Rong Yan's expression was as usual, and his flashing eyes did not change: "The princess said that she laughed, how can the courtiers compare with the eldest princess." ”

Yun Yue changed the topic again, "I heard that you entered the palace today, so I am very curious about you, and I came to block you on purpose, don't you mind!" ”

"Oh!" Rong Yan was not surprised, so she asked very calmly: "What is the ninth princess curious about the courtiers?" ”

Yunyue can hear rumors about Rong Yan in the palace all year round, and she is very curious about Rong Yan.

But at that time, she was still young, and her queen mother did not allow her to see Rong Yan, so she was even more curious about Rong Yan for this reason.

Yunyue: "I've often heard people say that you beat the prince's brother back then, and even contradicted your father, is there such a thing?" ”

Children are always curious.

Rong Yan said lightly: "This is indeed the case." ”

Yun Yue was even more curious about Rong Yan when she heard this, "Do you know that the Son of Heaven is majestic and must not be contradicted, aren't you afraid of losing your life?" ”

Rong Yan snorted: "I'm afraid." ”

"Then why are you ......" Yun Yue couldn't figure it out, Rong Yan couldn't figure out why.

"Princess, this matter has been a long time coming, maybe the courtiers were ignorant and didn't know how to be polite."

Yun Yue frowned, "Do you know what the people of Great Yan said about you. ”

Rong Yan knew in his heart, but he still shook his head: "I don't know, I would like to hear the princess say it and listen to the courtiers." ”

Yunyue: "The people of Dayan say that you are bold and bold. ”

This is a derogatory term, Rong Yan smiled weakly: "The princess is really said by people from the outside world." ”

Yunyue nodded, and said, "But in recent years, they have changed their opinion of you. ”

"Oh." Rong Yan smiled.

Yunyue asked again: "When they slandered you like this, you weren't angry. ”

Rong Yan: "Don't be angry. ”

"Why?" Cloud month is incomprehensible.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't affect me, why should I be angry, what are they willing to say about their freedom, I can't be angry for them for no reason."

"Then why don't you explain."

"Nothing matters, why explain."

Rong Yan didn't want to explain, she didn't care about how her actions shocked the entire Da Yan back then, and she didn't care about what bizarre title the people of Da Yan had given her.

It's just because she has only one man in her heart.

No more intentions for anything else.

Yun Yue admired Rong Yan even more at this, and changed her title: "Sister Rong, you will be my sister-in-law in a few months, can I often go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to play with you in the future." ”

Rong Yan smiled: "Of course you can." ”

…………

Rong Yan returned to the carriage, and the carriage drove slowly.

The maid Qing Barley raised her eyes and looked at Rong Yan and lowered her head in a deep voice.

Rong Yan picked up a scroll next to her and held it in her hand, and then saw that Qing Barley had been looking at her, and she wanted to stop talking, she chuckled and said, "Qing Barley, do you have something to say?"

Qing Barley nodded and frowned: "Miss, what the Ninth Princess said is right, why didn't you explain it at that time?" ”

Qing Barley is not the maid that Rong Yan has served since childhood, she was bought by her father from a trafficker when Rong Yan was eight years old, so she doesn't know about Rong Yan's youth and ignorance.

The rumors about Rong Yan were also heard by her, and when Qing Barley came, she was already more than seventeen, but she didn't know why her appearance looked no different from Rong Yan until now.

Rong Yan has an inexplicable liking for her, just like a sister, so he often likes to take her, and Qingli is relatively smart and has a lively personality.

And the name of the barley was given to her by Rong Yan after reading many books.

There is a poem that says: The scenery comes to the west, and the depression is far away. The water Qiang tribe, the mountains are out of the Han Dynasty. A few places of barley are ripe, and they are deeply worried about the white rain injury. Whoever guards the deserted city will die in ten rooms and nine deaths.

Rong Yan smiled: "Why explain, I don't care about the eyes of the world, what they say has nothing to do with me." ”

Over the years, Rong Yan has developed a temperament of not fighting or grabbing, thinking calmly when encountering problems, and being quiet and calm.

The barley didn't say anything, opened the curtain and saw the bustling scenery on the street, and asked with joy in his heart: "Miss, I heard that today is the Flower God Festival, but you want to go down for a walk." ”

Rong Yan only glanced at the prosperity outside, and saw that Qing Barley kept looking out, knowing that she must be bored, so he put down the scroll and said lightly: "Okay, go down and have a look." ”

The Flower God Festival is commonly known as the Flower Dynasty Festival, there are many people on the street, on this day, people go to the suburbs to visit and enjoy the flowers, worship the flower god at home, go to the flower temple to burn incense, in order to pray for the blessing of the flower god, bless the flowers and trees.

It's the same every year, so Rong Yan has no interest in it.

Qing Barley smiled and looked at the crowded streets, and said, "Miss, you see, there are so many people today? Usually you are bored in the house, it is difficult to come out and walk around, you can see that outside, is you in a much better mood. ”

Rong Yan was about to say something, when she saw someone not far away looking at her with a pair of gloomy eyes, Rong Yan only felt that these eyes seemed to have seen somewhere.

But she never remembered.

Shaking his head, he wasn't going to think about it, but there were suddenly more people in the crowd, and Rong Yan and Qing Barley were scattered by the crowd.

She quickly composed, calmed herself again, and found that she had been squeezed by the crowd in front of a teahouse.

Rong Yan raised her feet and was about to go in to take a look, but she heard a voice like a yellow bird, which sounded from behind her: "Lord Changle, why are you here." ”

Rong Yan turned around and saw the person coming, and nodded slightly: "Miss Jiang, it's you!" ”

Jiang Lianyi, the daughter of Jiang Taishi, in addition to Rong Yan, another talented woman in Dayan, is famous and known as Dayan Shuangdi together with Rong Yan.

The two are both daughters of the four great families, and they have known each other since childhood, although the relationship is not very good, they will still say a few words when they meet.

And Jiang Lianyi likes to compare with Rong Yan in everything, and he has been the same since he was a child, so Rong Yan is estimated to have become squishy when he was young, so he can't rob Jiang Lianyi of his reputation as a talented woman and a gentle and lovely woman.

But because of what happened later, Rong Yan had to put away her temperament, and later, although everyone's impression of her changed, they always felt that she was not as gentle and virtuous as Jiang Lianyi, and she was just empathetic.

Jiang Lianyi's eyes were tactful, and when he saw that Rong Yan was alone, he didn't feel it and asked, "Lord Changle, why is there only one person today?" Why don't you have a maid around? ”

When Rong Yan was thinking about words, Qing Barley stumbled over, and saw Jiang Lianyi's words coming to his lips and stopped.

After saluting Rong Yan, he said, "Miss, why did you come here, let the barley be easy to find." ”

Rong Yan stretched out his hand and tapped the tip of her nose: "Then you still found it." ”

Jiang Lianyi couldn't help but chuckle: "The relationship between the county lord of Changle and the maid is really excellent. ”

Rong Yan's eyes were a little playful, and the corners of his mouth faded into a sneer: "Qingli has always been well-behaved and sensible, and I didn't treat her as a maid." ”

This sentence made Jiang Lianyi choke, and then she lightly opened her lips and looked at Qing Barley: "The master and the maid have always been different, it is rare for the county lord of Changle to treat each other with courtesy, I am afraid that the entire Dayan will never be able to find someone like the county lord of Changle who has a very special relationship with the maid." ”

The barley's face turned pale in an instant, and it was true that the master was different from the maid.

Since ancient times, I thought that the masters were all high, and they never regarded them as human beings, but the banquet was indeed different, she treated people with courtesy, whether it was to the maids or the subordinates, they were friendly.

Rong Yan glanced at the barley with a smile, then hooked the corners of his mouth, and a voice like a spring breeze sounded: "I can't talk to others." ”

Jiang Lianyi looked at Rong Yan, frowned, and said with a smile: "Lord Changle is indeed extraordinary. ”
