Chapter 38: The Woman Is Back
Jinxiu and Xiaoyun bowed to Kang Yuanyuan, with a bright smile on their faces, winked at Kang Yuanyuan and walked out behind the two maids.
The two of them have been holding back their anger for several years, especially the depression in the last two days, and they finally have a place to vent.
"The princess and princess, Zhu Li committed suicide in fear of sin, Bi Tao died for the lord, and the two maids beside the side concubine have been punished, please ask the prince and the princess to command."
"Puff ......"
Tang Yanran's feet fell to the ground as soon as her feet were weak, and the two henchmen secretly sent to her by the queen died like this, she didn't dare to imagine how to bear the anger of the queen's mother.
Kang Yuanyuan smiled softly, Ye Tianqing asked him to keep a low profile, it was best not to come forward in person, so as not to give someone a handle. But tonight he sent Ye Ruoxi back to the house, and when he saw the servants who were kicked out outside the mansion gate, he held his breath in his heart.
As soon as he entered the mansion, he was stopped by Diao Nu and shouted and scolded, which shows how these slaves and maids usually don't take Xuanyuan Yan and Ye Ruoxi in their eyes.
He didn't care if he didn't respect Xuanyuan Yan, but if he dared to bully Ye Ruoxi, he would never forgive. That slave maid didn't see Xuanyuan Yan and Ye Ruoxi, but obviously had no respect and jealousy for the mentally handicapped prince and the stupid concubine, relying on the queen's power, she wanted to be powerful in the Yan Palace.
Originally, if he hadn't sent Ye Ruoxi back home, Xuanyuan Yan would be mentally retarded, Ye Ruoxi would be a fool, and he would have to let that Diao slave do whatever he wanted.
But unfortunately, he went back to Jian'an, and sent Ye Ruoxi back to his house tonight, encountering this incident.
This incident made Kang Yuanyuan not want to be low-key, and he couldn't come forward.
From taking the servants who were driven away from sleeping on the streets into the palace outside the gate of the mansion, to punishing Zhu Li, Kang Yuanyuan has gone from the dark to the light, and Tang Yanran's appearance is pressing step by step, so that he can only continue to show up in order to grasp the situation in his hands.
"Or maybe that's not bad, see what has become of the palace? Where is this palace? ”
The peeling paint of the mansion doors, the old, the sick and the disabled, the dilapidated walls and rooms are full of decay, I don't know how long it has not been painted or repaired.
The flickering window lattice, in many places, the window paper has been worn, and it is poured in by the wind. Everywhere there is a smell of a broken royal family or a declining family.
Even in such an important place as the main hall, there is no decent furnishings, the tables, chairs and benches are all old, there is no antique furnishings, there is not a single calligraphy and painting, revealing a bit of misery. The clothes worn by those slaves were also patched, and even the clothes worn by Prince Xuanyuan Yan and Ye Ruoxi looked a little old.
He had already noticed that Ye Ruoxi's head and neck did not have any ornaments. Even if there is a strange bracelet on the wrist, it doesn't look like gold, silver and jade, it's not something of value.
Don't say that the prince's mansion is the female dependents of the ministers' families, which one is not full of pearls and emeralds, and the clothes are gorgeous, lest they not be brilliant enough. The ladies of the prince's mansion, when they got outside, they were like peacocks opening the screen, and they were so gorgeous that they were dazzling.
Kang Yuanyuan looked at Ye Ruoxi, but her delicate face was not set off by gorgeous clothes, just such ordinary clothes, without any accessories, and she was still so delicate and beautiful that she made him tempted.
In the past few years, he has seen all kinds of too many women, but why has he never forgotten and been worried about this stupid woman who has no conscience and has long forgotten him?
It should be said that he has seen too many women, from Jian'an, the capital of the Tanglin Kingdom, to countless women he has seen when he was an official in other places. It is very strange that no matter how beautiful those women are, no matter how knowledgeable they are called talented women, they can't leave much impression on his heart.
Since more than three years ago, the person who came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to be a matchmaker kicked through the threshold, but he didn't even bother to pay attention to it. Of course, his marriage has never been his own decision, he has worked so hard in the past few years, earning an official reputation and a bright future, and he also hopes that he can make his own marriage in the future, and he does not have to be arranged by Ye Tianqing.
In just a few days after returning to Jian'an, someone came to the door to be a matchmaker, but Ye Tianqing obviously didn't want to agree easily, this third son has a great future in the future, and Ye Tianqing naturally won't easily agree to anyone's marriage.
It's just that Kang Yuanyuan's age is a bit too big, and he has already passed the age of getting married, but he has never discussed marriage, not even engagement, and it is already a strange talk in Jian'an.
Of course, Kang Yuanyuan himself was not in a hurry, and the first thing he did when he returned to Jian'an, he had a long talk with his father first, which made Ye Tianqing dispel the idea of getting engaged to him as soon as possible.
Kang Yuanyuan has his thoughts, for more than three years, he has been worried about it, and he can't let go of it, only the delicate and silly woman in front of him, his sister Ye Ruoxi.
Her smile left and right his eyes, and her every move touched his heart.
For more than three years, Kang Yuanyuan found that Ye Ruoxi's shadow not only did not fade away in his heart, but became more and more intense.
For more than three years, he once thought that Ye Ruoxi had married to the princess, and he would forget Ye Ruoxi, even if he couldn't forget, he would no longer be so worried and uneasy.
A handsome and outstanding young man like him is a talented man, and he will have a more exciting life and more future. How many times have I thought about letting go, I want to let go.
But why did he secretly return to Jian'an?
I didn't let anyone know, not even my father, just a person who secretly came back, stood on the high place of King Yan's mansion, and peeked at the stupid woman in the ruined courtyard without anyone knowing.
Watching her smile coquettishly, watching her still be as stupid as she was at the beginning, and even, when he secretly appeared in front of her, she had completely forgotten about him, without the slightest impression.
"Ruoxi, do you remember me?"
"Who are you?"
Ye Ruoxi's delicate face was transparent, revealing a slight sluggishness and indescribable immaturity and clarity.
Kang Yuanyuan hated that kind of clarity, it was too clear, and it couldn't carry anything, including him.
"Who are you?"
A simple sentence, cruel and harsh, like a sharp sword piercing Kang Yuanyuan's heart.
How could she, turn around and forget everything, including him?
I used to envy her, because with a turn, she would forget all her troubles and hurts, and she would always be so simple and happy, easy to satisfy.
A piece of candy and a flower will make her show the brightest and happiest smile, and she will not stop obsessed.
At this moment, Kang Yuanyuan hated her extremely much for being able to turn around and forget everything.
He couldn't allow it, and the only thing he couldn't allow was that she forgot about him.
"You really don't remember me, do you? I'm a junior, don't you remember at all? ”
Ye Ruoxi shook his head, his face was innocent and coquettish, and his eyes were transparent and clear, as simple as a newborn baby.
The sound of heartbreaking sounded in Kang Yuanyuan's heart, thinking that she might have forgotten him, always hoping that she still had a little impression of him in her heart, and she didn't want to be forgotten so cleanly.
Turning, he left, not wanting to come back here and see her again.
It's been another two years, and in the past two years, he has never returned to Jian'an to see her, thinking that he can let go, thinking that he can forget, thinking that he can ......
"It turns out that I was wrong, the moment I saw her, I just wanted to hold her hand and have her forever! Why? I still can't forget her, just a glance, just a glance ......"
Kang Yuanyuan's hand was quietly clenched in the cuffs, and his nails pierced into his palms, and the pain made him sober.
The moment Ye Ruoxi jumped down from the carriage, her hand was tightly held in the hand of a handsome man, and at that moment, he wanted to pull out the sword under his ribs and cut off the hand that was holding Ye Ruoxi.
But he can't, because that man is qualified to hold Ye Ruoxi's hand, and that man's qualifications and power are not only to hold Ye Ruoxi's hand, but also to sleep with Ye Ruoxi's delicate body every night.
Goodbye, she is more beautiful and delicate than before, a little more agile, and her eyes are like a bright starry sky, which makes the starry sky also lose color.
Goodbye, she's more faintly elf eccentric and less sluggish and silly.
There seemed to be something hidden in her eyes, no longer the kind of transparent clarity, damn the clarity that made him hate not being able to carry everything, but the deep and agile, revealing a little cunning.
Yes, just cunning.
Her delicate beauty is as delicate and pretty as ever, and the smile floating on the corner of her lips is also the same delicate taste as before, but the feeling she gives him is different.
I always feel that she has changed, changed a lot, is it because she is married to a wife?
"It's impossible, she's still an innocent daughter, and she hasn't been married to Xuanyuan Yan, so what has changed about her?"
Kang Yuanyuan has been secretly observing Ye Ruoxi since he saw Ye Ruoxi this time, and he didn't want to see him three years later, her smile can still affect his sight, and every move still affects his heart.
"It's still like this, when I see her, I lose Su Ri's composure and indifference, is it still only her in my heart?"
Weak and helpless, jealousy stabbed deeply in his heart, and he couldn't bear it when he saw Xuanyuan Yan holding Ye Ruoxi's hand.
Goodbye, he wanted to have her forever more than ever.
"Since the emperor has not given the gold plate and the golden book, this matter is easy to say, and the laws of my Tanglin Kingdom cannot be changed. What's more, this is the residence of His Royal Highness the Prince, and there is no room for negligence. Tang Yanran, although you have the queen's will, but one day the emperor has not given a gold plate and a golden book, you are not a legitimate side concubine of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
"I ......"
Tang Yanran was covered in cold sweat, and the queen's mother's orders and father's orders all echoed in her ears. One negligence will cost her little life.
The queen and her father, she can't afford to offend anyone, and no one dares to disobey.
She is just a concubine, a concubine who is not favored, and her mother is also a concubine, who was originally a girl in the Li Mansion, and she became pregnant soon after being favored by the master, so she was given the title of a concubine.
"Yes, Yanran understands, please Haihan."
Tang Yanran lowered her head delicately, tears in her eyes.
I can't count on that mentally handicapped prince here, so no one is in charge of her, so she can only use such a weak appearance, hoping that Kang Yuanyuan will take pity.
"Sister Yanran's acting skills are good, she belongs to the master of the acting school, this little appearance, fortunately, my husband is mentally handicapped, and his mind is only a three-year-old child, otherwise he will definitely not be able to escape her skills and seduction. Curious, Sister Yanran seduced and entangled so hard, I don't know if she tricked my cheap husband into bed? ”
Ye Ruoxi's eyes flowed, looked at Xuanyuan Yan and then at Tang Yanran, and couldn't help pouting, that mentally handicapped husband wouldn't be a boy who didn't know what to do with a woman, right?
"Princess, the night is dark, the prince and the princess should be tired, Jinxiu, Xiaoyun, wait for the prince and the princess to go back and rest."
"Yes, slave and maid obey."
"Yes, the minions obey."
Wangcai didn't know where to get out, bowed to Kang Yuanyuan, and left with Xuanyuan Yan.
"The side concubine should also go back to rest."
"Lord, princess, lord, Yanran retired."
