Chapter 020: Plain and tactful

"Ahh A group of maids standing under the tree screamed in fright, stunned. Rong Ruo's body was vertical, and his body jumped into the air like lightning, and he took his sleeve-sleeved body in the crook of his arm and landed firmly on the ground.

Although Huai Sleeve has kung fu on his body, he is really scared when he encounters this sudden situation. A pair of arms tightly wrapped around Rong Ruo's neck, and his whole body hung on Rong Ruo's body.

"It's okay." Rong Ruo gently stroked the back of his sleeve and said softly.

With his sleeves in Rong Ruo's arms, he slowly opened his eyes, looked around, and made sure that he had landed safely, his nerves suddenly relaxed, and his legs became weak.

Rong Ruo hurriedly hugged her waist and leaned her body against her chest. With his sleeve face pressed against Rong Ruo's chest, quietly listening to his steady and heavy heartbeat, his frightened heart gradually calmed down.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, as if time and space had frozen, and his sleeves were still a little shy at first, but when he felt his warm palm, he gently caressed his back, and gradually relaxed, and his hand naturally gently wrapped around Rong Ruo's waist. His eyes were slightly closed, and his nose was filled with a faint scent of water emanating from Rong Ruo's body.

After a moment, a low, slightly hoarse voice came from overhead: "Are you better?" ”

Huai Sleeve nodded slightly.

Rong Ruo's arms loosened slightly, but he didn't let go completely, and stared down at the dark eyes of his sleeves like smoke and rain.

The sleeves were deeply locked in Rong Ruo's eyes, a little embarrassed, turned his eyes, and drifted his eyes away, only to find that there was still a maid standing in the courtyard just now, and he didn't know when he slipped away.

"Sleeves, I ......" Rong Ruo stared into the sleeves' eyes, and stopped talking with a hesitant expression.

"What?" Huai Sleeve also looked at him and asked softly.

Rong Ruo paused, suddenly grabbed the hand in his sleeve, pulled her up and turned to leave. Huai Sleeve was dragged by Rong Ruo to follow behind, only to feel that his steps were fast, and Huai Sleeve needed to use hard work to barely keep up.

Rong Ruo pulled his sleeve through the moon gate, bypassed the stone path, and went straight to the stable.

"Where is this going?" Rong Ruo stopped when he reached the stable, and asked with his sleeve in his arms.

Rong Ruo didn't answer, untied the reins of the horse and turned over on the horse, sat in front of him with his sleeves in his arms, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, the horse neighed, and only ran out of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War.

At this time, the long street was very lively, the crowd was surging, but Rong Ruo's horse did not mean to slow down, and the whole street echoed with the sound of "da-da" horses' hooves, and the crowd avoided everywhere they passed.

Rong Ruo tightened the reins, the horse ran and bumped so badly that his sleeves could only hug Rong Ruo's waist and put his whole body into his arms.

"If you're afraid of being recognized, hide your face in the hem of my garment." Rong Ruo reminded gently. After he said this, he remembered that he went out today and didn't have time to change into men's clothes.

Rong Ruo drove his horse straight out of the city gate, crossed the moat, and headed towards the embankment of the Willow River on the outskirts. At this time, there were very few people in the willow embankment, only a few farming and weaving farmers were scattered in the distance, Rong Ruo slowly restrained the horse, the horse was panting, and the fur was already wet with sweat.

Rong Ruo turned over and dismounted, and took his sleeves off the horse. He patted the horse on the forehead, let go of the reins, and the horse went to the river to drink and rest.

Standing still with his sleeves in his arms, he looked around, and saw that there were stout old willow trees on both sides, and the wisps of blue ribbons hung down to the water, gently swaying with the wind, drawing circles and ripples on the water surface.

Rong Ruo walked to Huai Sleeve's side, reached out to hold Huai Sleeve's hand, and his eyes changed from the previous calm and restrained, and became scorching and hot. Huai Sleeve's face was always red and cloudy, and he didn't dare to look directly into his deep eyes, and struggled a few times, wanting to pull out his hand, but he held the ground tighter.

"Why did you come to the capital? Can you tell me the truth? When Rong Ruo asked, his tone was slightly rapid, and his voice was mixed with a little nervousness and uneasiness.

"I, didn't I tell you everything, yes, I came to the capital to visit relatives." Huai Sleeve didn't understand why he suddenly asked this, and when he replied, he couldn't help but stutter, and the blush on his face became more and more brilliant.

"I don't believe it! You say that you go to relatives, how can there be a reason why relatives stay and don't leave? Could it be that Lord Ma wants to take you as a concubine? ”

"Nope! It's not what you think......" Huai Sleeve hurriedly shook his head.

"So what? I want to know the truth! Rong Ruo was a little anxious, and asked by pulling his shoulder.

Seeing him ask questions like a cannonball, Huai Sleeve became angry. Raising his arm to remove his hand, he said angrily, "Why are you asking me? Why am I telling you? ”

Rong Ruo realized at this time that he was too eager, and he was a little out of shape. Stabilized his mind a little, stared at the side face of his sleeve, and asked with a little hesitation: "You, do you really want to know the reason?" ”

Huai Sleeve pinned his face to the side, and said with a light smile: "If you don't give me a reasonable reason, I won't tell you!" ”

Rong Ruo lowered his eyes, slightly narrowed his eyelashes, and groaned for a moment.

Seeing that he suddenly didn't speak, Huai Sleeve looked at him sideways, Rong Ruo suddenly raised his eyes, just looked at Huai Sleeve, and Huai Sleeve clearly saw that her figure was full of her in those eyes as clear as a deep pool.

"My heart is moving, and my love has been ......" At this moment, Rong Ruo muttered.

When Huai Sleeve heard his words, he was stunned at the moment, and he didn't know how to react for a while, but after a while, he felt that in addition to surprise, he seemed to be faintly mixed with a trace of sweet joy, such a feeling made Huai Sleeve strange, but throbbing, but on the surface, she tried her best to maintain peace.

Rong Ruo looked at the side face of her sleeve, saw her eyes down and was silent, and couldn't help but explain: "It's just my wishful thinking, maybe, maybe you will feel that I am too abrupt and reckless, or maybe I am anxious for a while, just because, just because I entered the palace in the morning, the emperor suddenly mentioned the matter of next year's draft, I was the first to think of you, so I was in a hurry to ask you......"

Suddenly, if she heard the word "draft" in her mouth, the gentle feelings that lingered in her heart suddenly swept away, and she felt like a bucket of cold water poured down, which immediately awakened all the beautiful fantasies in her mind, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Rong Ruo noticed that Huai Sleeve's face was wrong, and asked nervously, "Is there something uncomfortable?" Or did I just say something wrong? ”

Huai Sleeve shook his head vigorously and turned around, avoiding Rong Ruo's gaze.

Rong Ruo saw that his sleeves were like this, and he regretted Fang Cai's recklessness, and hurriedly said: "If you are embarrassed, just because I didn't say anything, we are still going back and forth as usual......

"I'm ......" Huai Sleeve shook his head again and again, and then turned his face back, and the mist in his eyes was already condensed.

At first glance, seeing the tears in her eyes, Rong Ruoxin seemed to be held tightly and hurt, and was about to speak, but her sleeve trembled: "What you said just now is right, I will ...... next year" At this point, the tears in her eyes rolled down and fell on the hem of her skirt.

"You're really waiting for next year's draft......" Rong Ruo's tone was faint, with a slight surprise and a somewhat unexpected sigh, and the meaning was slightly desolate.

"I have no choice, otherwise, who wants to enter the palace?" His sleeves choked up, and he was gradually unable to speak.

Rong Ruo was silent, and his expression gradually returned to calm.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Huai Sleeve also lost the heat of Fang Cai in his eyes, knowing that even if he was a nobleman, he was helpless about his entry into the palace, and couldn't help but feel sad from his heart, sneering and sighing: "I, how can I have my own feelings to be moved......" The words fell, Huai Sleeve turned around and ran to the horse by the river, pulled the reins, and rode away.

Leave Rong Ruo independent of the moat.
