Chapter Seventy-Three: To Each His Own Mind
Jun Ruyu gently pushed hard, pulling Yun Xiaoxiao's face away from him.
"Turn around." Jun Ruyu's tone was cold, and he couldn't hear any emotion at all.
Yun Xiaoxiao's face blushed, and she hurriedly turned around obediently. The two of them were so close, if Jun Ruyu didn't push her away, wouldn't he be able to kiss Jun Ruyu.
No way! How could there be such a thought! Yun Xiaoxiao shook her head vigorously, not allowing herself to think about these things again.
Jun Ruyu saw Yun Xiaoxiao shaking his head nervously. His eyes flashed slightly, and his complexion was slightly gentle.
Jun Ruyu's hands passed through both sides of Yun Xiaoxiao's body, Yun Xiaoxiao didn't dare to look back, she only felt Jun Ruyu's chest close to her, and Yun Xiaoxiao's back was warm.
"Attention." Jun Ruyu clearly turned his back to her, but he seemed to see Yun Xiaoxiao's expression.
Jun Ruyu's voice was close to Yun Xiaoxiao's ear, Yun Xiaoxiao bit her lip tightly, how could she concentrate at this time. Yun Xiaoxiao exhaled softly, telling herself to calm down.
The sound of the piano flowed from Jun Ruyu's fingertips, he played extremely slowly, and chose the simplest tune.
I didn't expect Yun Xiaoxiao to be really smart, and after only half an hour of learning, Yun Xiaoxiao was able to play a tune. She practiced for a while when she was young, but she was insulted by Yun Xiaowan who couldn't look at her, and threw her piano away.
"Listen!" Yun Xiaoxiao was so happy that she played this song twice.
"Are you feeling better?" Jun Ruyu's voice became gentle, which was a little different from the usual cold appearance.
"Much better." Yun Xiaoxiao grinned, pears swirling on both sides of her cheeks, she turned her head and smiled at Jun Ruyu.
Jun Ruyu was stunned, as if the dead lake in his heart suddenly set off some ripples. Realizing that he was in a bad mood, he quickly stood up as if he were running away.
"What's wrong?" Yun asked suspiciously.
"It's not too early, let's go back and rest." Jun Ruyu lowered his eyes and hid the faint affection in his eyes.
With that, Jun Ruyu turned around and walked towards the room.
"Hey! Your piano! Yun Xiaoxiao held the piano in her hand, and as soon as the words fell, she heard a squeak, and the door closed tightly.
Yun Xiaoxiao exhaled helplessly, and planned to take the piano back to her room and put it away first. Thinking of the closeness between the two of them, Yun Xiaoxiao's face was unconsciously flushed.
Her cheeks were hot, and she hurriedly left the North Courtyard.
Since seeing Jun Fenglin, Zhang Lanxin has cheered up a lot for no reason, not only went out of the courtyard to talk to people, but even went to the palace two days later.
The queen hadn't seen Zhang Lanxin for a long time, and she was finally looking forward to her coming, and she was very happy.
"You, this palace has to count the days when I see you now."
The palace was wandering in the imperial garden, and Zhang Lanxin beside her was well-behaved and skillful, gently supporting the queen.
Although it has passed the end of autumn, the flowers and plants in the imperial garden are still blooming very well, purple and red, full of green, I don't know that I think it is the spring season.
"The queen doesn't want to make fun of Lan Xin anymore, Lan Xin knows it's wrong." Zhang Lanxin muttered quietly, and the well-behaved and lovely appearance made the queen laugh.
No matter how arrogant Zhang Lanxin is in front of outsiders, she will immediately become obedient in the face of her elders. Otherwise, there is a reason why Zhang Lanxin can become the most favored person next to the queen.
The two chatted and laughed, and the queen was in a very good mood.
"Queen Mother, Lan Xin remembers that half a moon will be the winter solstice." Zhang Lan saw that the queen was happy, so she took advantage of this time to cautiously mention the matter.
She recalled the proposal that Jun Fenglin had made to her, and secretly made up her mind in her heart.
Even Zhang Lanxin can wait, and the child in her belly can't wait. If it really comes to the point where you have to show it, then it will be too late anyway.
Let's not talk about whether she is willing to marry Jun Zhiyao, or whether Jun Zhiyao recognizes this child or not, it is not certain. Zhang Lan thought about it and decided to plan a way out for herself.
"That's right. Time flies. The queen couldn't help but sigh. In the blink of an eye, a year is about to pass. ”
The two walked to a pavilion by the lake, Zhang Lanxin carefully helped the queen to sit down, and then turned back and instructed the palace maid to serve the queen's favorite pastries.
"There's been a lot going on this year. It's another frontier war, and several princes are in trouble one after another. Zhang Lanxin's eyes rolled, and then she put her body on the queen. Lan Xin has a proposal, I don't know if to say it. ”
If you want to spend a night with Jun Ruyu logically, you must at least have the opportunity to let him drink, and he was present at the time. Zhang Lanxin is not ignorant of Jun Ruyu's temper, she is not even able to enter the door of the Three Emperors' Mansion on weekdays, how can she be close to Jun Ruyu.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it." The queen waved her hand disapprovingly. She really wanted to hear what Zhang Lanxin had in mind.
"Taking advantage of the winter solstice, the queen can invite the harem concubines and princesses to have a light meal together. First, it reflects the virtuous and virtuous virtue of the lord of your harem, and understands the general situation. Second, it can also make the emperor happy, he must hope that the family will be harmonious, you are like this, don't you meet the emperor's wish. ”
Zhang Lanxin told the story eloquently, and what she said was reasonable and well-founded. She practiced these words many times in the house, and Zhang Lanxin was not afraid that the queen would not agree.
She is so close to the queen, and the relationship between the queen and the emperor is naturally clear to Zhang Lanxin. Although the two respect each other like guests, the emperor's whole heart is not on the queen, but she is very attentive to the emperor.
"Lan Xin's idea is good." The queen thought about it carefully, but she felt more and more feasible. She agreed without hesitation, but she didn't even have time to think.
The emperor handles the government affairs, and the affairs of the harem are handled by the queen, if the banquet on the winter solstice goes well, the emperor will definitely feel that she is very capable and look at her with admiration.
Zhang Lanxin made no effort to attract this opportunity to meet with Jun Ruyu.
Yun Shichang was indifferent to Yun Xiaowan because of Lin Yinshuang and Li Xiao's affairs, and Shangguan Yu was also depressed about the autumn marriage contract, and he was depressed all day long.
"Young master, the master is here." Shangguan Yu sat on the stone bench and was distracted, and he heard a quiet reminder from the little servant.
Shangguan Yu didn't even bother to raise his head, he smiled with a smile full of autumn in his heart.
If Qiuyi marries Chen Tianfu, not to mention that he will be heartbroken, Qiuyi will not be happy. What kind of virtue Chen Tianfu is, he knows it very well.
"You go down first." Lord Shangguan said to the little guy, and the little guy hurriedly walked away, and there were only two people left in the courtyard.
"Look what your day looks like!" Lord Shangguan rebuked angrily.
"Dad, I'm not feeling well, so I'll go back to my room to rest first." Shangguan Yu didn't want to talk more to Lord Shangguan. He stood up and wanted to leave, but suddenly a slap swept by, and only a crisp sound could be heard around him.
Shangguan Yu, who was shocked by this slap, immediately sobered up. He hurriedly knelt down and apologized to Lord Shangguan. "Dad, it's my fault, I've been depressed these days, so I've delayed the business in the house and made my dad bother."
Although Shangguan Yu knew that he had been in a bad state recently, he couldn't control his feelings, and every time Shangguan Yu thought of autumn, he felt uncomfortable.
"You know how much you've delayed!" Shangguan was dizzy. He was old and had a son, and he was able to have such a son in his forties, and Lord Shangguan deposited all his thoughts on Shangguan Yu's body.
Even Shangguan Yu has the slightest negligence, and Lord Shangguan can't tolerate it.
"Look at the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I have heard several discussions outside, saying that she has a close relationship with the Fifth Prince. The two of you have a marriage contract, and you don't look at it! Shangguan was extremely angry and yelled at Shangguan Yu.
"The girl has a sweetheart, let's stick a foot in the middle and do something." Shangguan Yu was slightly impatient. In the past, Shangguan Yu couldn't resist Lord Shangguan, so he had to deal with it openly.
This time, Shangguan Yu knew that Yun Xiaowan was also reluctant to enter the Zongzheng Mansion, and he even resisted.
"You know what! I am a world friend with Lord Yun, if you marry the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Zongzheng Mansion will be connected with the Prime Minister's Mansion, and your career will be much easier in the future. Lord Shangguan's tone was firm, and he couldn't tolerate Shangguan Yu's refutation.
"But what people like is the five princes, and when it comes to status, I can't compare. Miss Yun just likes the five princes, so I have to be able to grab them. Shangguan Yu looked embarrassed.
He didn't know what it meant for the two people to be tied together.
"The fifth prince has a good temperament, even if he is close to Yun Xiaowan now, it is just for fun. As soon as the freshness passed, Yun Xiaowan was nothing. "Lord Shangguan was categorical, and he just guessed what happened to Yun Xiaowan in the future.
Shangguan Yu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, for the sake of the so-called powerful position, Lord Shangguan didn't even care about Shangguan Yu's reputation. is the rest of Jun Zhiyao's play, and he has to offer it as a treasure.
Shangguan Yu is at the age of blood and strength, and he is naturally dissatisfied with such a situation. But even Chen Tianfu, a bully, can bully himself, and Shangguan Yu can't do anything.
"And I heard that you've been very close to a prostitute in Yihong Courtyard recently?" Lord Shangguan tilted his head, his eyes staring at Shangguan Yu tightly.
"Nope." Shangguan Yu refused. Lord Shangguan must not allow him to interact with Qiuyi, so he deliberately concealed these things from Lord Shangguan.
"It's good if you don't have it." Lord Shangguan snorted sternly. "Adjust your emotions yourself, if I see you so sluggish again, don't blame my family law for serving."
After speaking, Lord Shangguan shook his sleeves and left the courtyard.
Shangguan Yu was still kneeling in place, his face becoming more and more serious and heavy.
It's night.
"Why is there blood all over my mother's body?" A girl, about four or five years old, was lying in front of the window, staring at the room in confusion. Her voice choked and she looked very sad.
"Miss, it's time for us to go back to sleep." Mama picked up the girl with one hand and covered her mouth with the other.
"Someone! Throw her in the back mountains to feed the wolves! ”
