Jun Ruyu's tone was not cold, and if it was inexplicable, it seemed extraordinarily heavy.

Song Yan probably also knew what Jun Ruyu meant. "I'm afraid you're not going to have a good choice between the two, right?"

After saying that, Song Yan turned his head to look at Jun Ruyu.

Jun Ruyu frowned, just staring at Song Yan.

The two were silent for a while, and Song Yan suddenly stood up. "I'll go back to my room and rest."

Watching him open the door and leave, Jun Ruyu took his gaze back.

Yun Xiaoxiao had one accident after another, and the most distressing of them was Yun Shichang. Where is he willing to rest assured to let Yun Xiaoxiao go out alone, saying that he is recuperating, Yun Shichang simply put Yun Xiaoxiao under house arrest.

For a few days, Yun Xiaoxiao could only wander around the mansion, and she just took an extra step outside the hall, and the guards kept up.

Yun Xiaoxiao knew that Yun Shichang was painstaking, but he didn't go against him. It will take some time for the whiplash wound on her body to heal completely, and Yun Xiaoxiao stays in Xiangfu all day and is happy.

"Li'er, you remember to send a plate of this plum blossom cake to the little beggar's house later." Yun Xiaoxiao lay on the swing and took care of her.

When she spoke, she still had a piece of plum blossom cake in her mouth, which was cute and playful, and couldn't help but amuse people.

Since it is in his own yard, Yun Xiaoxiao has saved a lot of rules. If others see her at this time, where will they treat her as the daughter of the prime minister's house.

Li'er smiled in response.

"I don't know when my injuries will heal." Yun Xiao complained with a small sigh. "Jun Zhiyao really doesn't have the courage of a man's family at all, anyway, it's the first time I've met a man who beats a girl's family."

Yun Xiaoxiao now thinks of Jun Zhiyao's fierce expression in the face of herself at that time, and she can't help but get goosebumps all over her body.

Yun Shichang came in, Li'er hurriedly got up, she was about to remind Yun Xiaoxiao, but Yun Shichang grabbed Li'er and motioned for Li'er to retreat first.

Yun Xiaoxiao was still chattering, not knowing what to say.

"Li'er, you said that the tributary conference will be held soon, will you see many beauties from other countries?" Yun Xiaoba straightened up, waiting to see Yun Shichang standing in front of him. Looking at himself with smiling eyes, Yun Xiaoxiao was startled and almost flipped over from the swing.

In the past, Yun Shichang had never brought her and Yun Xiaowan to the tributary conference, but this time, because the emperor was going to announce his identity at the banquet, Yun Xiaoxiao had to participate, and she couldn't help but be curious about what it would look like when she came. It should be very grand to think about.

"Daddy." Yun Xiaoxiao stood up, thinking that Xu Yun Shichang had already heard what he had just said, Yun Xiaoxiao felt very embarrassed, so he had to find a hole in the ground to get into.

She scratched her head and grinned at Yun Shichang again.

"Xiaoxiao, I have something to say to you." Yun Shichang's expression was serious, and he pulled Yun Xiaoxiao to sit on the stone bench.

"What's wrong, Daddy? But what happened? Yun asked in confusion.

It is rare for Yun Shichang to face Yun Xiaoxiao so seriously, Yun Xiaoxiao can't help but be worried, for fear that something will happen to the Prime Minister's Mansion. It is estimated that the accident is happening now, most of it is because of himself.

Could it be Jun Zhiyao's revenge? Before Yun Shichang could speak, Yun Xiaoxiao had already thought about it in his mind several times.

"Does Xiaoxiao have a sweetheart?" Yun Shichang asked gently with Yun Xiaoxiao.

Yun Xiaoxiao was stunned, but she didn't expect Yun Shichang's first sentence to ask her this question.

"It's the third prince." Without waiting for Yun Xiaoxiao to answer, Yun Shichang immediately helped Yun Xiaoxiao speak. Since he came to the backyard specifically for this matter, he knew Yun Xiaoxiao's intentions.

It's just that this intention was paid by the wrong person after all.

"Daddy, why did you suddenly ask me this question?" Yun pouted slightly, muttering a little shyly.

"Ugh." Yun Shichang sighed heavily.

Seeing Yun Shichang's reaction, Yun Xiao was surprised.

"Dad knows that the relationship between children and daughters is your own business, and Dad shouldn't care too much. But Dad doesn't want you to jump into the fire pit in vain, but you can't get out in the end, but the gains outweigh the losses. Yun Shichang spoke earnestly.

Yun Xiaoxiao is his own flesh and blood that he has lost and recovered, how could Yun Shichang not care about her feelings. But the long pain is not as good as the short pain, rather than the pain in the future, it is better to let Yun Xiaoxiao withdraw first.

"What is a fire pit?" Yun Xiao frowned. Yun Shichang is clearly obstructing himself from being with Jun Ruyu, why should there always be a reason, Yun Xiaoxiao was made in a fog by Yun Shichang. "Is Daddy hiding something from me?"

Yun Xiaoxiao grabbed Yun Shichang's arm tightly.

As long as it is about Jun Ruyu, Yun Xiaoxiao can't help but pay attention.

"Not really." Yun Shichang gently patted the back of Yun Xiaoxiao's hand. "Dad just reminds you."

"Aren't you on good terms with the Third Prince? And the third prince is a good person, why can't he be entrusted? "Yun Xiaoxiao is still in the clouds, trying to figure things out." Last time, Lord Shangguan had an accident, and it was the third prince who helped save Lord Shangguan, have you forgotten? ”

Yun Xiaoxiao thought that Yun Shichang and Jun Ruyu had dealt with each other a few times in private, but now when she heard Yun Shichang say that she should stay away from Jun Ruyu, she didn't know why, and she couldn't think of it.

"Don't ask about these things." Yun Shichang tilted his head to the side and simply stopped looking at Yun Xiaoxiao. "You just need to listen to your father's advice, you remember, everyone in this world can harm you, but your father will never do it."

With that, Yun Shichang got up and left.

Yun Xiaoxiao opened his mouth and shouted Yun Shichang a few times, as if Yun Shichang hadn't heard it. Yun Xiaoxiao frowned tightly, carefully pondering what Yun Shichang said just now.

Thinking about it, she didn't know why Yun Shichang inexplicably let herself stay away from Jun Ruyu.

Because of the triennial tributary conference, there is an endless stream of princes, princesses and envoys from other countries, and it is rare for the capital to be so lively.

A few days later, the people specially held a lantern festival for the guests who came from afar, and Yun Xiaoxiao was thinking about how to go out, when he received a letter from Jun Fenglin.

"Then little miss, are you going or not going?" The little beggar sat on a stone bench with his chin propped up in his hands.

The little beggar lay in the room for two days, feeling really bored, so he insisted on getting up despite Yun Xiaoxiao's advice. At this moment, there are often two people in the backyard who are dressed in gauze, which looks particularly funny.

"Go, why not." Yun Xiaoxiao agreed without hesitation. "Now my father doesn't allow me to go out at all, but if I say that the eldest prince insists on asking for it, in order not to offend the eldest prince, my father will definitely agree."

Yun Xiaoxiao was proud in her heart, still thinking about how she could come up with such a smart idea.

"......"

"With the eldest prince here, you may not dare to offend the eldest prince and the third prince together?" Yun Xiaoxiao knew that the little beggar was not at ease with his own safety, and without waiting for the little beggar to finish speaking, Yun Xiaoxiao patiently explained.

"And when the time comes, I can also take the opportunity to sneak to the Three Emperors' Mansion." When Yun Xiaoxiao thought of Jun Ruyu, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

Now Yun Shichang is worried about her body, and secondly, he doesn't want her to continue to associate with Jun Ruyu, I'm afraid that Yun Xiaoxiao will go out to see Jun Ruyu, and Yun Shichang will definitely take care of her strictly.

After thinking about it, Yun Xiaoxiao had to come up with this one method.

The palace wall is deep, secluded and quiet.

Even though it was late at night, the palace was still brightly lit.

There was only one light in the imperial study, and the emperor lowered his head to review the folds, and the silence around him could be heard as a result of his breathing.

"Your Majesty." The father-in-law carefully pushed open the door.

The emperor is most reluctant to be disturbed when he is doing things, and he doesn't even dare to speak too loudly with his father-in-law, for fear that the emperor will blame him.

"The Queen Mother is here." The father-in-law reported to the emperor.

The hand that flipped through the folds suddenly stopped, and the emperor raised his head, and before he could answer, a figure of cloud, yellow, purple and gold strode in.

The father-in-law withdrew from the room, leaving only the emperor and the queen.

"Why is the emperor still dealing with affairs so late?" The queen frowned, her expression slightly displeased. With that, she put the hot soup in her hand on the desk, and a refreshing fragrance came to her nose.

"I still have some things, so I'll have a good rest when I'm done." The emperor spoke softly and replied to the queen with a smile.

"The concubine just thought that the emperor had not rested, so she asked the imperial dining room to boil some silver cod soup and send it, you can eat some as a way to warm your body."

The queen opened the lid and personally handed the hot soup to the emperor.

There were piles of folds on the table, and the emperor looked extremely tired. He sighed helplessly, put down the business in his hand, and leaned back in the seat behind him.

"The queen has a heart." The corners of the emperor's mouth rose slightly.

The hazy candlelight made the emperor's face even haggard, but the queen's brilliance was still the same, no different from when she was young. The emperor looked at the queen in a daze, and in a trance thought that he had returned to ten years ago.

Ten years ago, ten years ago, Concubine Shu was still there.

A touch of loneliness flashed in the emperor's eyes, like this candle flame, and finally turned into endless darkness in his eyes.

"The concubines have served the emperor for many years, what habits does the emperor have, and how may the concubines not be clear? When you were young, you loved to make cold weather and cold hands and feet, and the concubines remembered it until now, and they didn't dare to forget it at all. The queen half smiled, and when she talked to the emperor, she was like an old husband and wife.

"This silver cod soup queen has also been boiling for many years." The emperor chuckled, his eyes glancing at the bowl of silver cod, which was steaming with white smoke.

"The emperor loves to eat, every time he eats the silver cod soup made by his concubines, your body always needs to be warmer. Over the years, I have also developed a habit. The queen covered her mouth and looked shy.

After that, the emperor took the hot soup and took a few sips.

"Go back and rest first, I'll have some time." As soon as he put down the bowl and spoon, the emperor issued an expulsion order to the queen.

The queen did not refuse, and after telling him a few times to pay attention to his body, she left the imperial study with an empty bowl.

The emperor leaned back in his seat, his mind becoming more and more dizzy.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother is gone."

As soon as the queen on the front foot bent out of the courtyard of the imperial study, the emperor's personal father-in-law on the back foot walked in.

He sighed softly, and was very distressed to see the emperor's appearance now.

The emperor's eyes were slightly weak, his eyes were dilated, and he almost fell asleep.

"Your Majesty!"
