Ruan Lang would never get along with Ruan Yu openly.

Ruan Yu said that he didn't want to see him, so he wouldn't bring people to Ruan Yu. After Ruan Yu was in a bad mood and snatched him up, Ruan Lang left.

Quietly, there was even a hint of loneliness on his expression.

It was this loneliness that made Ruan Yu feel guilty, just a little bit. Because Ruan Yu couldn't tell how real or fake the expression on Ruan Lang's face was.

Ruan Yu stayed in the house for the next few days and never went anywhere, and the peach blossom period was about to pass, so she hurriedly prepared some peach blossom wine and saved it to drink it slowly. Xiao Yuanji was afraid of being laughed at when he went out because of his arm injury, so he stayed in the mansion most of the time, lingering in different concubines, and did not come to trouble Ruan Yu.

Peaceful.

When it was almost April, Lu Ye handed over an invitation card and invited her to participate in the transcendence ceremony.

The remains of the soldiers have been buried, far from the capital, at the foot of a relatively remote mountain. If you want to go, you have to stay there for one night a day earlier, and the ceremony will begin early the next morning.

Ruan Yu immediately packed her luggage and set off.

I walked in the morning, and arrived at the foot of the mountain in the evening. Ruan Yu sat in the carriage for a day, a little nauseous, pale and sickly, wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit.

At dinner time, the inn was full of monks at a glance, sitting full, adhering to the style of "food without speaking", and the whole lobby was silent.

Under this magical inspiration, even the innkeeper didn't dare to speak, and stood by with a look of awe on his face.

At this time, Ruan Yu's appearance was particularly conspicuous.

Countless pairs of eyes looked up at her, with a unified smooth head and the same confused expression.

The guy trotted over and said with a suppressed smile: "I'm sorry officer, our inn has been chartered." If you want to stay overnight, you can find another home. ”

Ruan Yu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can Xiliang Hou be here?" ”

"Xilianghou ......" The guy suddenly pointed behind Ruan Yu: "Isn't this it?" ”

Ruan Yu turned his head and saw Lu Ye walking over with a smile on his face, and said with a smile in his throat: "It's not here." ”

"Huh?"

"Let's go. It's for monks, and we live across the street. Lu Ye pointed to the place where he had come.

"Oh." Ruan Yu was a little embarrassed, smiled at the guy awkwardly, and then went to the opposite side with Lu Ye.

Lu Ye asked, "Are you feeling unwell?" ”

"It's fine. I was a little nauseous just now, but now I'm much better. ”

"Want to eat something?"

"Whatever, whatever." She doesn't have much of an appetite right now, anyway.

The two of them entered the inn opposite, and the lobby was also full of people, but they were all saber guards, and the sound of talking and chatting almost lifted the roof. So it's particularly abrupt to be quiet.

Dozens of big men stared at each other in surprise.

Lu Ye casually took Ruan Yu in and sat down at the innermost table. There was a man in the seat, who stood up and said excitedly, "Princess, you are really here." ”

Lu Ye pressed the man down, "Eat." ”

Ruan Yu didn't know what to do, so she smiled.

There were several dishes on the table, but they were all passive, Lu Ye moved the plate to the side and called the guy: "Make a few light side dishes." After a pause, he glanced at Ruan Yu, "Make another sweet and sour carp." ”

"Okay! Hou Ye, wait a minute! ”

Ruan Yu looked at Lu Ye.

Lu Ye smiled, "What's wrong?" ”

"How do you know I like sweet and sour carp?" Ruan Yu hesitated, but still asked.

She is picky about meat and doesn't eat much, sweet and sour carp is a dish she likes very much.

How did Lu Ye know?

"I don't know, it's just a coincidence."

By coincidence?

Ruan Yu didn't believe it.

But there is no other explanation than by chance.

At this time, a head suddenly came over next to her, the one who had just stood up and excitedly welcomed her: "Princess, my name is Hu Feng." ”

Ruan Yu nodded and said politely, "Hello." ”

Hu Feng let out an "ah", as if he was not satisfied with her answer, but he could only hold back if he was not satisfied, and glanced at Lu Ye depressedly.

Lu Ye ate calmly as if he didn't feel his gaze.

The dishes were very fast, and the vegetarian dishes were served one after another, Ruan Yu ate them first, and it didn't take long for the sweet and sour carp to come up.

Ruan Yu took a small piece to taste, it was not fishy, and it tasted good, so he invited Lu Ye and Hu Feng to eat it together.

As soon as Hu Feng's chopsticks were halfway extended, they were intercepted by Lu Ye's chopsticks.

"Eat your own."

Hu Fengyan looked at the hot plate of sweet and sour carp, the air was full of tempting sweet and sour taste, and he pitifully discussed with Lu Ye: "Boss, I'll just take a bite." ”

"Nope."

Ruan Yu was puzzled: "I can't eat a fish, if you don't eat it, it will be wasted." ”

Lu Ye looked at her, and for a while, he took a pair of new chopsticks to clip off the fish tail, and then clamped the fish tail into Hu Feng's bowl.

Hu Feng: "......"

Look!

Look!

What is the color of the mind faint!

What does it mean to forget friends!

Forget it, the fish tail is also quite tasty, except for a little more spines, there is nothing bad.

Ruan Yu couldn't hold back, lowered his head and smiled.

At this time, Xiao was a little disrespectful to Comrade Hu Feng, Ruan Yu wiped his mouth with a handkerchief in disguise, and asked Lu Ye: "Don't you eat?" ”

Lu Ye didn't answer, and asked rhetorically, "Do you want to give me food?" ”

Ruan Yu didn't understand too much.

What is "do you want to give me food", you can eat if you want, and don't eat if you don't want to. Of course she was willing to give, but if Lu Ye didn't want to eat it, she wouldn't force it.

"Ahh

Lu Ye hooked the corners of his lips, stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a small piece of fish, and said, "Then I'll eat it." ”

*

Ruan Yu's room is on the third floor, and Lu Ye is on the first floor. After the two finished eating and chatted for a while, Lu Ye took her up to rest.

Ruan Yu doesn't need to do anything, she is a princess, not a prince, most of the time she can't go in front of people, she can only watch silently behind people. If Ruan Lang is willing to come, this is a good opportunity to win people's hearts.

Ruan Yu was a little surprised that Ruan Lang had given up this occasion to preach his benevolence and wisdom.

"This is it." Lu Ye pushed the door open, there was a faint smell of smoke in the house, Mingzhu Yingzhu was cleaning in the house, and the bedding had been changed.

Lu Ye took a step forward, retracted it, and told Ruan Yu: "Don't open the window at night,"

Now the windows are open.

Ruan Yu nodded: "I'll close it later." ”

"Okay." Lu Ye's eyes looked around the room, and he hesitated: "I'm next door, remember to call me if you have anything." ”

"Okay."

"So I'm leaving?"

Ruan Yu held on to the door and smiled, "Well, good night." ”

Lu Ye also smiled, "Good night." ”

*

Late at night.

Mingzhu rubbed her arms and whispered to Yingzhu beside her, "Do you feel gloomy?" ”

Yingzhu trembled: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful to make the princess sleep." ”

The two girls were huddled on a bed, but their hands and feet were cold, and their eyes were closed and closed.

The thought of so many bones buried in this place made them feel cold. What's more, there are so many wild cats outside, and babies cry one after another.

What a wilderness this is!

Ruan Yu opened her eyes, her voice was tired: "I didn't fall asleep. ”

"Huh?" Mingzhu slapped her mouth, "I said nonsense, princess, don't believe it." ”

"It's none of your business. It's really cold, and the cats are noisy. ”

Mingzhu sat up, lit a candle, and walked to Ruan Yu's bed with a candlestick, "Don't be afraid, princess, with me and Yingzhu guarding you, you will be fine." ”

Ruan Yu nodded.

Mingzhu put down the candlestick, gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go and drive the wild cat away, Yingzhu, you take good care of the princess, don't fall asleep by yourself." ”

"Hmm." Yingzhu got out of bed, "Be careful. ”

"It's all right, wild cat, what's there to be afraid of. When the princess is asleep, you bring the candle out of the window, and I will come up when I see it. Mingzhu pretended to be relaxed, took another candlestick, copied the wooden stick by the door, and opened the door tremblingly.

Two guards stood outside the door.

Mingzhu was startled, pinched his thigh so hard that he didn't scream, took a few deep breaths, closed the door and asked, "Two big brothers, are you on duty at night?" ”

"Yes. Why did the girl come out? ”

"The cat barked too loudly, and the princess couldn't sleep because of the noise, so I went down to chase the cat."

The two of them laughed busily: "How dare you bother the girl?" Leave it to us. ”

"This ...... I'll go for it. ”

"Please rest assured, the girl was the master who arranged for us to keep vigil, and we dare not slack off. Let's go down and get the cat away. The two took their leave, took Mingzhu's candle and went downstairs.

Mingzhu pushed the door back to the house.

"Huh? Mingzhu, why did you come back so soon? Yingzhu got up and asked.

Mingzhu smiled meaningfully and said: "Master Hou specially arranged someone to guard our house, I heard that the princess couldn't sleep because of the cat's barking, so she immediately went down to chase the cat, but I don't need it." ”

Yingzhu smiled silently.

Ruan Yu was surprised: "He specially arranged for people to keep vigil?" ”

"Hmm. Only our house has it, but not in front of Hou Ye's own house. Mingzhu squatted down and tilted her head and smiled: "How can the princess's life be more important than his own life?" ”

Yingzhu said: "The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, and she was invited by him to come here, if something goes wrong, he will not be able to escape the blame." It was not surprising that he feared for the princess's safety. ”

Mingzhu gave Yingzhu a look.

Yingzhu shrugged her shoulders and shut up.

"Xilianghou is very thoughtful, I'll go and thank him tomorrow." Ruan Yu patted Mingzhu: "You two should go to sleep quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow." ”

"Yingzhu, you sleep first, I'll wait for the princess to fall asleep before going to bed." Mingzhu shoved Ruan Yu's hand into the quilt.

"Okay."

Presumably the guards were chasing the cats, and only a few angry cries were heard, and then the voices became quieter and quieter, and they were inaudible.

Ruan Yu's limbs warmed up, her sleepiness became thicker, and her breathing fluctuated evenly.

Fall into a deep dream.
