"Luo Hansheng can't marry her." Ruoyan lifted the teapot and poured herself a cup of herbal tea, took a sip and said slowly, "The emperor will not allow this family business." ”

"How does Miss know?" Lian'er wondered.

"Prosperity must fall." Ruoyan looked at the begonia tree at the door, "Do you remember the Yun family back then?" ”

"Miss mean?"

"The glory of the Yun family back then was even better than that of today's Prime Minister's Mansion. In the end, the emperor was suspicious and beheaded for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and plotting rebellion. Ruoyan put down the teacup in his hand, "The emperor will not allow his courtiers to have the credit of the lord or have too much power." Now Luo Hansheng is the minister of state, and he has been repeatedly sealed. The emperor will not allow him to take the daughter of a high-ranking official. Therefore, Xiao Qi can't get married. ”

"That's good, Miss Xiao is well-known in Beijing. Xiangye is going to marry her, and the people of the entire Xiangfu will not have a good life. Lian'er picked up the teapot and put it on the stove, and said with a smile.

Ruoyan finished drinking the tea in the teacup, stood up, and rubbed his sore eyebrows: "I drank a little too much today, so I'll go back to my room and sleep first."

"The slave maid will cook a bowl of sobering soup for the young lady, drink it and then go to sleep."

Ruoyan nodded in agreement, turned around and entered the door.

Lian'er was not there, the room was quiet, Ruoyan untied the veil of the inner room and sat on the head of the bed. The biography I read last night was still clasped on the pillow, and Ruoyan picked up the book and closed it and put it on the table. Her fingertips brushed the pages and she laughed sarcastically.

There are so many women around Luo Hansheng. During the day, Lin Wuniang knew that she was interested in Luo Hansheng at a glance, and now there is another Xiao Qi.

"Brother Sheng", Xiao Qi called so intimately. Ruoyan's heart was flushed with a hint of sourness. She also called Luo Hansheng that way when she was young, but now the relationship between the two can only be enemies.

Lian'er brought the sobering soup, and Ruoyan drank it and fell asleep.

She slept soundly here, but Luo Hansheng started a monstrous fire at the banquet.

Lin Wuniang got off the stage after singing and took off her makeup, walked to the front of the stage and blessed Luo Hansheng, and her voice like a yellow bird sounded not too much: "I've seen Xiangye, adults." Wu Niang is here to congratulate Xiangye on finding her cousin. ”

Luo Hansheng didn't even look at Wu Niang, but just replied coldly, "Hmm".

Seeing that Luo Hansheng ignored her, Lin Wuniang seemed to have suffered some great grievance, and tears appeared in her big watery eyes: "I don't know if Xiangye is dissatisfied with Wuniang's performance today?"

Luo Hansheng raised his eyebrows and drank the wine in the cup in one go. Glancing at Lin Wuniang, she said lightly: "Wu Niang's drama is of course excellent."

Lin Wuniang raised the corners of her lips, and her face was a little proud: "Thank you Xiangye for complimenting." But I don't know which one is better than the folded tuberose jade sung by Wu Niang compared to the famous horn Ruoyan's folded tuberose? ”

Saying that, Wu Niang got up and did the seat where Ruoyan was sitting just now.

Luo Hansheng clenched the cup in his hand, and the green tendons on his forehead protruded. Everyone sweated for Lin Wuniang. Everyone knows that Luo Hansheng found his cousin in the theater. But no one dared to mention in front of Luo Hansheng that Yun Ruoyan was a drama. Kelin Wuniang not only mentioned it, but also compared herself with Ruoyan, and sat on the main seat that Ruoyan had just sat on. There is no self-knowledge of a drama at all.

Luo Hansheng watched Wu Niang sit down in Ruoyan's seat just now and narrowed a pair of phoenix eyes, he slammed the cup on the table, and ordered: "Come on, bring this drama down."

As soon as the words fell, a few servants came up to drag Lin Wuniang away. Lin Wuniang shook off the hands of several subordinates, and tears fell to the ground: "Wu Niang was personally invited by Xiang Ye to sing for the second lady, and now that the play is finished, Xiang Ye is going to drive Wu Niang away?"

Before Wu Niang could continue, Xiao Yi, who was sitting on the side, couldn't stand it and frowned and said: "Wu Niang, you are too ignorant, is this the tone of talking to Xiang Ye?"

Luo Hansheng lowered his voice and said, "Why are you still stunned?" Don't drag this drama down yet! ”

Several family members stepped forward to set up Lin Wuniang and dragged him away. Lin Wuniang didn't know where the strength came from, so she broke free of the family's arm and threw herself into Luo Hansheng's arms: "Xiangye!"

Luo Hansheng stood up directly and threw Wu Niang to the ground, his voice was so cold that there was no trace of warmth: "Compare yourself with your sister in your own appearance, you are very bold?" It's just an actor, do you really think that your status is so respectful? ”

Wu Niang knelt on the ground, and Luo Hansheng's coldness made her tremble. She finally realized that Luo Hansheng, the left minister who was known for his warmth, was really angry.

The family Ding forcibly dragged Lin Wuniang down. Luo Hansheng raised his wine glass and saluted everyone: "Let you see the joke."

"No, no, it's that the drama is too ignorant of lifting."

"Xiangye's words are serious."

Luo Hansheng took a sip of the wine in the wine glass, and sat down again.

In the middle of the night, the banquet finally dispersed. The servants gathered up the candlesticks and the remnants. After Luo Hansheng sent all the guests away, Xiao Wu walked over with a sad face.

Luo Hansheng looked at Xiao Wu's face and wondered, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Wu opened his mouth with difficulty: "Xiangye, Lin Wuniang ran to the door of your bedroom and knelt."

"Who told her to run? Are all those family members dead? Luo Hansheng flicked his sleeves and said angrily.

"The family pulled it and didn't stop it. Lin Wuniang said that she was a distinguished guest invited by you personally, and she would not let people touch her. ”

Luo Hansheng pinched his eyebrows with a headache: "Go and drag her out of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Xiao Wu answered and went down with a few family members.

Luo Hansheng was bored and paced to Huayan Courtyard. Lian'er was standing in the courtyard cleaning up the tea set on the stone table. Seeing that Luo Hansheng was coming, Lian'er blessed her body: "Xiangye."

"Where's Yan'er?" Luo Hansheng asked.

"Master Yu, the second lady has fallen asleep after drinking the sobering soup." Lian'er said respectfully.

Luo Hansheng sat down at the stone table and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Won't Xiangye go back to his room to rest?" Lian'er carried the kettle to the stove and boiled another kettle of water.

Luo Hansheng drank tea, looked at Ruoyan's closed door and smiled gently: "I want to be closer to her."

Lian'er made tea and poured another cup for Luo Hansheng.

"Go down, I want to be alone here." Luo Hansheng commanded.

Lian'er got the order, answered the "yes", and retreated.

Luo Hansheng sat alone at the stone table in the courtyard, drinking tea by himself.

Although the spring is strong, it is still a little cold in the middle of the night. The moonlight casts sparse shadows on the begonias in the yard. Luo Hansheng sat in the courtyard boiling water in the moonlight, drank tea all night, and did not get up to leave until the sky was white.

Since the banquet, Ruoyanwo has not seen Luo Hansheng in the courtyard for half a month. It's just that I've heard Lian'er mention it a few times by chance.

That night, the news that Lin Wuniang angered Luo Hansheng also spread to Huayan Courtyard. It is said that Lin Wuniang knelt at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion for three days after being dragged out of the Prime Minister's Mansion to beg Luo Hansheng's forgiveness.

Although Ruoyan felt a little pity for Lin Wuniang, if she thought about it carefully, Lin Wuniang cut off her own way back. mentioned that her Luo Hansheng's sister was a joke in front of the guests in the courtyard, no wonder Luo Hansheng was angry.

It's the end of spring, and the begonias in the yard are almost gone. The red of the place is like a blanket. Ruoyan sat at the stone table in the courtyard, drinking tea and watching the flowers fall.

Lian'er hurriedly entered the courtyard: "Second Miss." Xiao Gongzi has come to see you. ”

As soon as Lian'er's words fell, Xiao Yi arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

Ruoyan only poured two cups of tea, put one opposite him, and said with a smile: "Xiao Gongzi is here, Ruoyan is far away."

Xiao Yi scratched his head: "I heard Han Sheng say that you haven't been out of Huayan Courtyard for half a month." I'll come and see you. ”

Ruoyan raised the teacup, took a sip, and laughed at the corner of her lips: "Isn't it good to watch the flowers bloom and fall in this huge yard every day, and cook wine and tea?" If you don't go out, you don't go out, what's the matter. ”

Xiao Yi sat down opposite Ruoyan, picked up the cup of tea that Ruoyan poured for him and took a sip: "You don't care too much, Luo Hansheng is in a hurry."

"Oh? Xiangye was in a hurry, why didn't he come by himself? I asked you to come and see me? ”

"He wants to come, I'm afraid you won't want to see him."

Ruoyan was stunned for a moment, she and Luo Hansheng rarely had a good conversation, and she always choked Luo Hansheng halfway through speaking. It's her fault.

She put down the teacup and chuckled, "In this way, it's not like a shame." It's just that Xiao Gongzi has time to come and see Ruoyan, I don't know if he has time to discipline his sister. ”

"I heard about Ah Qi's trouble with you that night, and I never knew how to come over and ask for guilt. Why don't you have Biyun Building today, I please? Xiao Yi smiled.

"It's just a treat, but if she thinks about marrying into the Prime Minister's Mansion again, I'm afraid she will bring disaster to Shangshufu and Xiangye."

"Now that Han Sheng is in power, I still understand the truth of making a big move, but if there is no stubble, our family will not allow her to marry into the prime minister's mansion."

"You are so close to Xiangye, you haven't thought about kissing each other?" Ruoyan asked.

"Han Sheng has a sweetheart in his heart." Xiao Yi sighed, "Although I don't know who it is, but over the years, he has always been painting a woman, and the room is full of portraits of the same woman." Every season, women's clothes are made to order in the Jade Embroidery Pavilion, the best embroidery workshop in Beijing. I started to think that he was a treasurer. It was later discovered that he was nothing more than unrequited love. ”

Ruoyan paused with his hand holding the teacup, only to hear Xiao Yi add: "Oh, by the way, the portrait of that woman is still a little similar to Ruoyan."

Ruoyan remembered the painting she found on Luo Hansheng's desk that day. I'm afraid it's not a little similar, but the woman in Luo Hansheng's painting is her. Ruoyan put down the teacup and smiled bitterly.

Ten years ago, she would have been happy. But now that she and Luo Hansheng are enemies who share the sky, what can they do if they know that Luo Hansheng has a deep affection for her?

Ruoyan put down the teacup: "So you know that your sister won't be happy if she marries into the Prime Minister's Mansion, right?"

Xiao Yi nodded, sighed and said with a light smile: "Yes." I asked Han Sheng who the woman was, but he said she was dead. If it is a living person, maybe Ah Qi can still fight, but a dead person, Ah Qi can't even fight. ”

"What if the woman hadn't died?"
