Chapter 56: Ruined You
Yun Rongjue looked at the person in his arms with empty eyes, and a flash of light and shadow flashed in front of him.
"Temple...... Your Highness ......" Jiang Wu blinked at Yun Rongjue, the little hand in front of him didn't let go of anything, and subconsciously wanted to push the man away, but the little hand only touched the man's hard chest, which was difficult to shake.
The man's slightly rough fingertips caressed the little girl's pale little face, outlining the outline of her little face, and muttered: "There are only ...... in this hall You're gone, but she's going to ruin you......"
The words fell, the lips fell.
Jiang Wuxing's eyes widened, and her curled eyelashes trembled violently from panic.
The sky was calm outside, and suddenly there was wind and snow, raging everything around them.
……
The next day, the wind and snow stopped.
Yilan Xuan's door was pushed open with a creak, Jiang Wu walked into the inner hall with a basin with hot water, and at this moment Yun Rongjue had woken up, leaning on the edge of the couch, a pair of sword eyebrows frowning tightly.
"Your Highness is awake, hot water has come, Your Highness should wash up." Jiang Wu put the basin on the back of the shelf to rinse his mouthwash and handed it to Yun Rongjue.
Yun Rongjue took it and cleaned it. His frowning brows never stretched, and the feeling of palpitations in his heart lingered in his heart, and he couldn't retreat for a long time.
Is it another nightmare?
Jiang Wu saw that his face was not very good, thinking that he had a headache, she tilted her head slightly, looked at him, and said softly, "Does Your Highness have a headache?" His Highness drank a lot of wine last night, but he didn't drink the sobering soup, so he was uncomfortable, so rub His Highness's forehead. As she spoke, she stretched out her hand towards Yun Rongjue, to knead his forehead for him.
She just stretched out her hand, and suddenly, her wrist was grabbed by Yun Rongjue's clasp, Yun Rongjue's eyes fell on her white little hand, and the sword eyebrows in her eyes wrinkled deeper, "What's going on." ”
There was a discordant red mark on the little girl's pale hand, as if it had been burned.
Jiang Wu instinctively retracted his hand and retracted his little hand into his sleeve, "It's nothing, the slave accidentally got it himself." ”
The little girl obviously didn't lie, her clear eyes flickered, and her little face was deliberately concealed.
Yun Rongjue glared at her unhappily, and reached out to grab her little hand, "This hall must listen to the truth." ”
The man's tone was not heavy, but there was coldness and danger, Jiang Wu had always been unable to stand Yun Rongjue's like this, his pink lips bulged, and he told the truth.
Decanting soup......
He wasn't too impressed.
His eyes fell on the little girl's little hand with a red mark, and he only felt that it was uncomfortable to dare. He stood up, walked to the table, opened the drawer, took out the plaster with one hand, and took the little girl's little hand with the other, and wiped the medicine for her.
The cool ointment blurred on the back of her hand, relieving the pain, Jiang Wu raised her eyes and looked at the man who was seriously wiping the ointment for her, and her heart was a little nervous.
He was a high-ranking prince, and she was just a subordinate slave, but he could commit to drug her again and again, and she couldn't help but think of his appearance last night......
It was something she had never seen before, not as cold and arrogant as usual, but a little fragile.
Jiang Wu couldn't help but think of the fragmentary words he muttered yesterday, he was a prince who had collected thousands of favors and honors, what was it that made him so painful and sad?
Jiang Wu didn't know, and he didn't dare to ask more.
"Your Highness," she said, "Yesterday the slave happened to see the Sixth Highness near Yilan Xuan, and the Sixth Highness had a fever, so the slave brought back to Yilan Xuan yesterday and invited the imperial doctor." ”
This huge Yilan Xuan belonged to Yun Rongjue, although this matter had passed, she felt that it was still necessary to say a word to Yun Rongjue.
Yun Rongjue was a little surprised, and put away the ointment, "He has a fever?" ”
Jiang Wu nodded, seeing that he was worried, and then added: "But Your Highness is relieved, after His Highness took the medicine prescribed by the Imperial Doctor to rest yesterday, the high fever has subsided, and there is no big problem when I think about it." ”
Yun Rongjue raised his eyebrows and felt comfortable, "Let's go see him in the main hall later." ”
The two were talking, when suddenly, there was movement at the entrance of the hall. After a while, I saw a neinan followed by two small negotiates into the hall, holding a jade scroll in his hand.
"Fifth Highness Yun Rongjue will accept the order." The inner officer shouted at the top of his voice.
Yun Rongjue got up and stepped forward, knelt on the ground, Jiang Wu followed, and knelt down.
"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict, and the Fifth Highness Yun Rongjue abides by the ......"
"Specially named the king of Lin'an, admire this!"
The official finished reading the will on the scroll and put the scroll away, "Congratulations to Your Highness." ”
Yun Rongjue knelt, and his face was gloomy from the time the internal official read the holy decree, and he couldn't see the joy of being crowned a knight.
"Your Highness, take the order." The internal officer reminded.
Yun Rongjue raised his head, his face was cold, and he took the jade shaft with both hands, "Erchen took the order, long live my emperor." ”
"Your Highness, today is a great day for you, among all the princes, you are the first to be canonized as a prince, and it is the first class of grace!" The internal official smiled flatteringly.
"There's a Laoju officer." Yun Rongjue sighed lightly, and then called the maid and asked her to send Zhu Neiguan away.
After Zhu Neiguan and the others left, Yi Lanxuan returned to composure, Yun Rongjue lowered his eyes and looked at the scroll in his hand, and after a while, he walked to the wooden frame and put the scroll away.
"Slave, congratulations to Your Highness." Jiang Wu reacted and saluted Yun Rongjue.
She didn't want to say this, but in exchange for Yun Rongjue's indifferent look, he said lightly, "There is nothing to congratulate." ”
Jiang Wu didn't understand that it should be a happy event to be crowned a knight, but why Yun Rongjue was not only indifferent, but also seemed to be disgusted.
The news that Yun Rongjue was crowned as the king of Lin'an soon spread all over the palace, and at noon, Yilan Xuan people came and went, all of which were for Yun Rongjue to celebrate.
Yun Rongjue dealt with the people who came and went, although there was a light smile on his face, but it was not from the bottom of his heart. Jiang Wu looked at him like this, and felt that he was very tired.
"Fifth brother." A familiar voice came from outside, and after a while, Yun Huang walked in with steps.
Yun Huang walked into the hall, his eyes subconsciously glanced at Jiang Wu to the side, and quickly withdrew his gaze with a touch of complexity.
Yun Rongjue looked at Yun Huang, motioned for him to sit, and said in a loud voice: "I heard that you are sick, and I was thinking about going over to see you in a while." ”
Yun Huang glanced at Jiang Wu and replied: "A little wind and cold, it's okay, the fifth brother doesn't have to worry about me." ”
"Hmm." Yun Rongjue let out a low sound in his throat.
Yun Huang's eyes turned around and saw all kinds of gifts on the table in the hall, and chuckled: "Fifth brother is a busy man today, congratulations to the fifth brother for being crowned King Lin'an." He clasped his hands together and bowed his head towards Yun Rongjue.
Yun Rongjue's attitude was as indifferent as Fang Cai did to Jiang Wu, and what Yun Huang said was the same.
Yun Huang saw that he was not half happy, and was a little puzzled, "Fifth brother, this is a good thing, isn't the fifth brother happy?" He asked.
Jiang Wu's eyes fell on Yun Rongjue, she was also curious and confused.
"A good thing?" Yun Rongjue raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Yun Huang.
Yun Huang nodded, "Of course it's a good thing, fifth brother, you are honored as the king of Lin'an, this is the first one among our brothers, it can be seen that the father and the emperor love the fifth brother, Rao is the eldest brother is backed by the queen, and the second brother is quite favored by his mother, but now they have to be in awe of the fifth brother." ”
Yun Rongjue was silent, silent for a long time, and only spoke slowly after half a sound, "I'm tired, you can go back." ”
Yun Huang sighed, "Then I'll go back to Fifth Brother first." With that, he stood up and walked outside.
Jiang Wu sent people out of the hall gate, and was just about to turn around and go in, when he was called by Yunhuang. Her eyes rolled, a little worried, not knowing what these six highnesses were going to do.
"What does Your Highness command?" Jiang Wu lowered his eyes and kept a certain distance from Yunhuang.
Yun Huang frowned unhappily when he saw her like this, "This hall is not a flood beast, what are you doing so scared!" ”
Jiang Wu: "......"
Although he is not a Flood Beast, he seems to be no different from the Flood Beast, and every time she meets him, nothing good happens.
Yun Huang pursed his lips, his expression was a little awkward, Jiang Wu looked puzzled, "Your Highness." ”
"This one, this one for you." Yun Huang handed Jiang Wu something wrapped in oiled paper.
Jiang Wu was stunned.
"Take it!"
Jiang Wu: "......"
She suspiciously took the things handed by Yun Huang, and couldn't tell what was here for a while, "Your Highness, this is?" ”
"It's for you!" Yun Huang was a little awkward, and left in a hurry after throwing down a sentence.
After Yun Huang left, Jiang Wu opened the wrapped oil paper, only to see that there were many candied dried fruits inside.
Jiang Wu was even more confused, what did Yunhuang do for her for no reason.
Jiang Wu shook his head, didn't think much about it, and turned around and entered the hall. Yun Rongjue glanced at her when he heard the voice, "What are you holding in your hand." ”
"The things that His Highness the Sixth Highness gave to the slaves are some candied dried fruits." She came to Yun Rongjue, squatted down, and leaned over.
Yun Rongjue raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell, and Jiang Wufan's lips pursed, "But His Royal Highness Sixth didn't say anything, he gave the slave this bag of things and left, I don't know what it means." ”
Yun Rongjue seemed to understand, pulled his lips and chuckled, and said softly, "Didn't you ask the imperial doctor to take care of him yesterday." ”
Jiang Wu nodded, "Yes," she suddenly reacted, "This is ...... The Sixth Highness thanked him for yesterday's events. ”
"He's an awkward man." Yun Rongjue said.
Awkward...... That's true.
Jiang Wu looked down at the candied dried fruits wrapped in oil paper, and his opinion of Yunhuang had changed slightly.
After Yun Huang left Yilan Xuan, he entered the palace and went to the Linhua Palace.
Linhua Hall is not as magnificent as other palaces, but it is quite a style of style, in the main hall, He Wanqi skirt sitting, in front of the embroidered frame, a stitch and a thread, every time with all his thoughts.
"Son, please concubine." Yun Huang saluted with both hands.
He Wanqi glanced at him, her gaze quickly fell back to the embroidered cloth, and then instructed the palace maid beside her, "Cook tea and bring snacks for Your Highness." ”
Yun Huang looked at the embroidered cloth in front of He Wanqi, the pattern on the embroidered cloth was mostly completed, Rao was that he didn't know enough about the female worker's needlework, but he could also see the fineness of this embroidery. The mother's needlework has always been a must in the palace, even if it is the best embroidery in the palace.
"Today is a good day for your fifth brother, have you congratulated him?" He Wanqi asked.
Yun Huang's eyes sank slightly, and he responded for a moment, "Well, it's gone." ”
He Wanqi nodded with satisfaction, "Not to mention that you have the best relationship with your fifth brother, his mother, Mrs. Chu, is now in full bloom, and the number of courtesies you should have is still complete, so you can't let people fall behind." ”
The needle and thread in He Wanqi's hand were like flowing water, and the strand of red thread was embroidered, she looked at the pattern on the embroidered cloth and smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, I think Mrs. Chu will like it." ”
Yun Huang's eyebrows trembled slightly, his eyes fell, he saw his mother tinkering with this embroidery a month ago, and he still remembered that this was what his mother liked and wanted to keep for himself, "Doesn't the mother like this embroidery very much and wants to keep it for herself?" He couldn't help but ask.
He Wanqi took off the frame and rubbed her sour eyes, "I was going to keep it, this embroidery took me a lot of effort, but it was just ......" She paused slightly, looking at the embroidery full of her hard work, there was a little regret in her eyes, "It's not just that your fifth brother is happy, how can the mother concubine say congratulations to Mrs. Chu, the mother concubine has nothing else to do, and what can be done is this embroidery." ”
Yun Huang's eyes were cold, although he and the fifth brother were good friends, the mother concubine and Mrs. Chu could not talk about a good friendship, but the mother concubine had always been extremely flattering to Mrs. Chu.
If Mrs. Chu responds to her mother, she will be fine, but Mrs. Chu is arrogant and has no deep friendship with the concubines in the palace, and the mother concubine flatters her, and she is mostly indifferent.
Therefore, for He Wanqi's behavior, Yun Huang was disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
"Even if Mrs. Chu favors the Sixth Palace, is it necessary for the mother concubine to be so flattering?" Yun Huang couldn't help but say.
He Wanqi's face changed slightly, "What nonsense are you talking about." ”
"Erchen has no nonsense, the mother concubine flatters Mrs. Chu in every way, what can she get in exchange? The father and the emperor don't like our mother and son a little more because of this, why should the mother concubine make herself so humble and have no self-esteem. ”
Yun Huang's blunt unhappiness annoyed He Wanqi, He Wanqi was so angry that she couldn't help but raise her hand, and a slap landed on Yun Huang's face, trembling with anger, "Bastard, is this what you can say to your mother?!" The mother is low? No self-esteem? If you can be liked by your father like your fifth brother, your mother doesn't need to do anything! ”
"You can't do it! He was born sick and sick, and he was the most useless! will provoke your father to be so unwelcome! He Wanqi said angrily.
Yun Huang's already poor face was like wax at the moment.
He heard these words since he was a child, and he thought he was used to it, but it turned out to be ......
No matter how many times, how many times, it is so harsh and hits the heart.
"Ahem......"
Yun Huang was just about to speak, when he suddenly coughed violently. He Wanqi looked at him like this, more like a rabbit with his tail stepped on, his eyes were red, "You're useless, you're useless!" I gave birth to you, what else is there besides this weak body?! ”
Yun Huang's handsome face flushed, "Since the mother concubine is so resentful of her son, it is better not to let her son come to this world!" ”
"Yes! If this palace knows that you are so uncompetitive, it should have strangled you in swaddling clothes when you were born! ”
The stronger the wind and snow, the weaker figure that walked out of the Linhua Palace, like a swaying branch in the wind and snow, little by little, drowned on the long street.
————
Jiang Wu only went to Chengtian Academy in the afternoon, in the morning, Yilan Xuan was full of people, Yun Rongjue dealt with the people who came and went to congratulate, Yun Rongjue was not happy, especially after the second prince Yun Zhao came, Jiang Wu felt that his displeasure was even more obvious.
Chengtian Academy was as usual, Jiang Wu sat on the railing of the cloister near the window and listened to the teachings of the master inside, she was almost a day long, and those people were now accustomed to her presence.
"Let's talk about today's poems, let's do pairs, I'll be on one side, you can be on the other, and actively say it." The Master said.
Jiang Wu listened carefully, and became more interested.
When she was auditing, she had heard the master teach her how to pair pairs, and the easy ones were easy, and the difficult ones were very difficult. She's never tried it before, so it's inevitable that she's curious.
The master coughed lightly, touched his long beard, and said slowly: "Wind and rain, warm and cold, looking for everywhere." ”
When the Master's words fell, there was a whisper at the bottom. Jiang Wu tilted his little head, the tip of the brush pressed against his chin, and his eyes rolled to think.
After a long time, the master looked around and said, "It's not difficult for this pair, but don't any of you be able to match it?" ”
No one answered in the middle of the sound, the master's face became helpless, and he shook his head, "You can't teach your son!" Since there is no one to match, then we ......"
"Warblers, warblers, swallows, flowers, leaves, flowers, leaves, and leaves, Qingqing twilight dynasty."
A crisp and clean voice sounded, and the master and everyone looked out the window. Jiang Wu looked at the many eyes that suddenly came, a little timid, and her pink lips were tightly pursed.
Seeing this, the master walked out of the hall and walked in front of Jiang Wu, "Fang is you right?" ”
Jiang Wu nodded, "Is it wrong?" She snorted softly, with little confidence.
The master smiled and shook his head, "That's right, that's great! ”
Jiang Wu was stunned for a moment, and was overjoyed, "Really? "She's never tried a pair.
The master nodded, "That's right, it's neat, it's not bad." ”
Jiang Wu was overjoyed by the master's praise, and the crowd around the window couldn't help whispering and discussing.
"Which girl are you, why are you sitting outside?" The master saw that the railing was separated by pen, ink and paper, and asked.
Jiang Wu choked for a moment. Before she could speak, those princesses and nobles spoke first, "Master, she belongs to Qin Xiangyou's family, but she is a prisoner. ”
"Yes, Master, she is a prisoner slave, so she is outside, and she is not worthy of us, so she cannot come in."
Jiang Wu's face changed slightly, and his eyelashes subconsciously drooped, covering his emotions.
"Ahem!" The master coughed heavily, glared at the noisy people, and then said, "Since you have listened to the old man's lecture, you are the old man's student, so come in and listen to the lecture in the future." ”
As soon as the master's words came out, Jiang Wu was stunned, and the few people who had just been quiet suddenly shouted again, and the protests continued.
"The slave thanked the master for his kindness, and the slave knew his identity, or ...... Just sit in here. She didn't want to embarrass her master, and she didn't want to cause more trouble because of it.
"What's your name?" The master skipped her words and asked.
"Slave name Jiang Wu." She replied.
"Both have a name and a surname, don't call yourself a slave in the old man, you can follow up together." The Master said.
"Master!"
"Hugh has to say more." The master whispered to a few people on the side.
Seeing that Jiang Wu was slow to move, the master continued: "You girl, don't delay our teaching time, is it possible, do you want the old man to invite you?" ”
Jiang Wu was told by the master, it would be even worse if he didn't go in, so he had to nod and agree, and then walked in with the scroll and pen and ink.
After entering, the master arranged her to a vacant seat in the back, "You will listen here in the future." ”
"Chef Xie."
"Alright, let's move on."
Jiang Wu sat down and listened carefully to every word of the master. She never imagined that she would be able to go into the hall one day, and this moment was like a dream.
Lang Lang's poetry sounded over and over again in the hall.
During the break, as soon as the master walked out of the hall, Jiang Wu suddenly surrounded many people, almost surrounding her in all directions, and the voices of people were endless. Everyone here has a higher status than Jiang Wu, and Jiang Wu can't afford to offend, so he has no choice but to deal with it.
"What are you guys doing?" Suddenly, a voice came from outside the window, everyone turned their heads, and through the gap, Jiang Wu saw clearly that the person outside the window was Yuan Jing.
"Brother Yuan Jing."
Yuan Jing's eyes fell on Jiang Wu, and then smiled at a few people: "I have delicious snacks to eat, you guys go and try it." ”
The nobles in this room are not very old, and they are naturally greedy for food. Soon they left the hall in a swarm. Jiang Wu had to be relieved.
Yuan Jing looked at the little girl, smiled slightly, beckoned to her, and motioned for her to come out.
Jiang Wu hurriedly got up and walked out of the hall.
"Little Wang Ye'an." Jiang Wu owes his body.
"Eh, don't be so polite to me in the future, let's go, let's talk over there." Yuan Jing pointed to the gazebo not far away and walked by.
Jiang Wu followed Yuan Jing to the pavilion. "Sit down." Yuan Jing sat down on the stone chair that had been paved with a tuanpu.
Jiang Wu shook his head, "It's good for the slave to stand." ”
"You girl, the rules are always in place, this king said, there are not so many rules with me, let you sit and sit." Yuan Jing reached out and forced her down.
"This is the pastry brought by this king, I heard His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness say, you are the most fond of sweet pastries." Yuan Jing picked up a piece of snow-white square cake and handed it to Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wu took it and said thank you.
"Is there something wrong with Your Highness looking for slaves?" Jiang Wu asked.
Yuan Jing saw the little girl eating one bite at a time, and she only felt comfortable and happy.
"Just now, I went to Yilan Xuan to see the fifth brother, so I also stopped by to see you." Yuan Jing said.
Jiang Wu nodded clearly.
"The fifth brother was too lively today, and I didn't have time to talk to him well." Yuan Jing said.
Jiang Wu swallowed the pastry in his mouth, "Well, today is a good day for His Royal Highness to be sealed, so there are a lot of people coming and going to celebrate." ”
Yuan Jing sighed and shook his head helplessly.
Jiang Wu looked at Yuan Jing, thinking that Yun Rongjue was not very happy for most of the day, and couldn't help but ask: "Little prince, the slave has a doubt, I don't know if I can ...... it."
Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Wu seriously, "But it's okay to say it." ”
Jiang Wu expressed the confusion in his heart, "Isn't it a good thing to be crowned and knighted?" Why is the Fifth Highness so emotional? She couldn't figure it out.
Yuan Jing's eyes glanced slightly, and his thin lips tugged, "Yes, probably everyone will think that this is a rare good thing," he looked at Jiang Wu, "Little girl, this is some things, not as simple as it seems, it is good to add the title to the knight, but it must also be added at the right time, in the right place, the right time, and the right people, and it can be called good!" ”
Jiang Wu listened, thoughtfully, she seemed to understand these words, but she didn't seem to understand very well, "Then what is the right time, place and people?" She asked.
Yuan Jing smiled and shook his head, "It's hard to say, little girl, you are very concerned about the emotions of the fifth brother." Yuan Jing said.
Jiang Wu nodded subconsciously, and explained after looking at Shang Yuanjing: "Your Highness teaches slaves to learn words, and slaves can come to the academy to listen and study because of Your Highness, Your Highness takes care of slaves, and is good to slaves, and slaves must of course be good to Your Highness and take care of Your Highness's emotions." ”
There are not so many twists and turns in Jiang Wu's world, whoever is good to her, she is good to whom, just like Sister Yuyan, Shi Yan.
Yuan Jing listened to the little girl's words, and the clarity between her eyebrows and eyes was obvious.
"Come on, come on, class."
The voice of the master's urging came, Jiang Wu was excited, quickly stood up, turned to Yuan Jing and owed a debt, "Little prince, the slave went first." ”
"You take this." Yuan Jing took the delicate locket handed by the attendant beside him and handed the locket to Jiang Wu.
"Little prince, this is?"
"The jade hibiscus cake made in the small kitchen, you should like it." Yuan Jing said.
Jiang Wu hesitated, "Little Wangye, this is not very good......
"There's nothing bad about it, just a little food, the small kitchen does a lot, this king doesn't like sweets much, it's a waste if you don't eat it, the little girl has the right to help, it's always bad to waste, right?"
Jiang Wufan's lips were slightly flattened, and after thinking about it, he felt that it made sense, so he took the small box, "The slave will accept it, thank you to the little prince." She saluted to Yuan Jing.
Yuan Jing smiled, "Okay, you can go quickly." ”
Jiang Wu held the locket and returned to the hall happily.
Yuan Jing looked at the little girl's back, and her eyes softened unconsciously.
