Chapter 4 Don't meddle
Xiao Yuanji still cursed. The guests couldn't stand it, although they didn't know about other people's housework, but who didn't know the truth that family ugliness should not be publicized, why was it hysterical in front of so many people?
"Marquis of Runan." A woman stood up and said, "The princess doesn't look very good, she looks like she's going to faint, so help her in and rest." ”
Xiao Yuanji sneered: "She's pretending." ”
The woman frowned and was about to speak, but before she could speak, Ruan Yu fell backwards with a limp. Xiao Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to drag it.
Ruan Yu was caught steadily by Lu Ye.
Lu Ye looked at the girl in his arms, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, his eyelashes were trembling, and he didn't seem to be out of breath.
One hand pressed on his heart, and the other hand was pulled out by Xiao Yuanji with a circle of crimson marks.
Shocking.
Xiao Yuanji was originally a little weak because Ruan Yu fainted, but Lu Ye rushed up and ignited his anger again, and came up and pushed Lu Ye hard: "Why do you help?" I don't care about you! It's not your turn yet! ”
Lu Ye's eyes were filled with thick fog, dark and deadly silence, and he looked at Xiao Yuanji with an expressionless face.
The look in his eyes was like he was going to kill.
Xiao Yuanji was stunned and subconsciously stepped back.
Lu Ye put his left hand around Ruan Yu, and stretched out his right hand to grab Xiao Yuanji's wrist.
Reverse a twist.
Xiao Yuanji's eyes widened, and before the scream came out of his throat, Lu Ye twisted his little thumb again.
This time, Xiao Yuanji couldn't call it out at all.
Tears welled up in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and gasped, his arms trembling. The guests were stunned, and no one dared to step forward.
Lu Ye hugged Ruan Yu horizontally and instructed the maidservant: "Find a doctor." He glanced at Xiao Yuanji again, "Send Runanhou back to his house." ”
“…… Be. ”
*
Mingzhu was startled when she heard that Ruan Yu had fainted, and asked what was going on as she walked. Knowing that it was Xiao Yuanji who went crazy, he gritted his teeth one by one and had nothing to say.
Ruan Yu is now in a side room next to the flower hall, sleeping peacefully, breathing much more steadily. I also took the medicine prescribed by the doctor, and there was no major problem.
Lu Ye sat silently on the side.
"Master Hou." Mingzhu took the lead, and the four of them saluted Lu Ye.
Lu Ye glanced at them and nodded.
The four of them rushed over to see Ruan Yu.
Lu Ye spoke, his throat hoarse as if it had been burned by fire: "Does she often do this?" ”
"It's been a long time." Mingzhu wiped her tears: "The last time I fainted was two years ago. ”
"Before?" Lu Ye asked.
"Before......" Mingzhu glanced at him and said, "Runan Hou and the princess often quarrel, so they ......"
Lu Ye closed his eyes and raised his head, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "My fault." ”
Mingzhu did not speak.
Lu Ye stood up, "You take good care of her, just tell your subordinates what you want." When she woke up...... Tell me. ”
"Master Hou, don't worry."
Lu Ye stood in place for a while before turning around and leaving.
*
Ruan Yu slept until late in the evening before waking up.
When she opened her eyes, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and raised her hand to rub it. Caizhu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, hurriedly stood up, "Princess, you're awake!" ”
“…… Kindness. ”
Mingzhu came over with water, sat on the edge of the bed with a soup spoon, and said with red eyes, "Princess, drink some water." ”
Ruan Yu nodded.
Half a bowl of underwater belly, she only realized what she was lying here for.
So I recalled the embarrassment of being embarrassed in front of so many people.
Ruan Yu is still very face-saving, as Princess Jokhang, her upbringing since she was a child was all about how to support her as a princess.
Be dignified, be noble, you can look down on sentient beings, but you must not let sentient beings look down on you.
Ruan Yu was tired of this kind of upbringing, but she had to admit that this upbringing had been deeply rooted in her blood and bones and integrated with her.
Ruan Yu closed her eyes tiredly and asked, "What about Xiao Yuanji?" ”
"I'm back to the Hou Mansion." Mingzhu hesitated and said, "Xiliang Hou broke Hou Ye's left arm and a finger. ”
Ruan Yu was stunned, opened her eyes and looked at Mingzhu: "Why?" ”
She wasn't worried about Xiao Yuanji, she just felt that it was incredible.
Why did Xilianghou stand up for her?
Mingzhu smiled, "Of course it's for the princess." ”
Ruan Yu lowered her eyes and didn't know what to say for a while.
"This is my business with Xiao Yuanji, he doesn't need to care. Although his father will not punish him, he will offend a villain like Xiao Yuanji...... Not necessarily. Ruan Yu coughed.
Just as she doesn't like her and Xiao Yuanji's bad things to be known by outsiders, she doesn't like others to interfere.
If it was to help her, she would be even more overwhelmed.
She was already trapped in this mire, and she thought that she would continue to be like this, anyway, and she felt that she was going to rot in this mire after all.
Don't want to pull anyone.
Mingzhu smiled, "I've already offended, what else can I do?" Did the princess go to say thank you to Xilianghou? ”
That's definitely going to go.
Ruan Yu sighed, "Go ahead." It's not too early, and I'm ready to go back. ”
Mingzhu looked at her hesitantly.
"What's wrong?"
Mingzhu said: "The Hou Ye is only afraid of waiting for trouble with the princess in the Jade Moss Courtyard, so why don't the princess stay here for a night?" ”
Ruan Yu was helped to sit up, "He broke his arm and fingers, and it was too late to recuperate while lying on the bed, how could he go to the Jade Moss Courtyard to find trouble with me?" Even if he does come, I have to go back. She paused, lowered her head and put on her shoes, "After all, this is the Xilianghou Mansion." ”
She is a lady of Runanhou, how can she be suitable to live here.
Mingzhu sighed, dressed Ruan Yu and combed her hair, and after finishing it, she accompanied Ruan Yu to Xilianghou's study.
*
In the study, there was a man standing opposite Lu Ye, who should be a subordinate. Ruan Yu sat on a stone bench in the courtyard and waited.
After a while, the door opened, and Ruan Yu waited for the man to leave before getting up and entering.
"How?" Lu Ye stood up and walked around the table to her side.
"I ...... Nothing more. Ruan Yu glanced up at him, pursed his lips and said, "Xiao Yuanji is stopped by me over there, I will try not to let him trouble you." She paused, and then whispered, "After all, it's for me......"
Lu Ye laughed, and said in a contemptuous tone: "What trouble can he make for me?" ”
Ruan Yu shook his head, "You don't know, he doesn't have any skills, but he has a lot of tricks." He'll definitely find a way to pay it back to you. I'm not sure I'll be able to stop him, so be careful. ”
Lu Ye lowered his eyes and looked at her, his eyes dark. Ruan Yu couldn't tell what kind of eyes it was, but it seemed that she was deliberately suppressing some emotion.
After a while, he spoke: "You don't need to help me stop him. He will come to me whatever he wants, and I will be happy to accompany him. ”
Ruan Yu was in a hurry, why was this Lu Ye so tough.
"He is not as capable as you, but you can't prevent his indiscriminate tricks, you are a righteous man and a gentleman ......"
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows and smiled, interrupting him: "Why do you think I am a righteous gentleman?" ”
Ruan Yu was stunned, and said in her heart, aren't you?
He smiled happily, tilted his head away, and rubbed his eyebrows with his hand.
Ruan Yu looked at him helplessly.
It's so funny to be seen as a decent gentleman?
Lu Ye reluctantly suppressed his smile: "Don't worry, I'm not a decent gentleman." It wasn't, and now it's not. He can't move me. ”
Ruan Yu looked at him and sighed, okay, what is the love, she can't control it.
One more thing.
"Thank you." Ruan Yu looked at him seriously.
Lu Ye was stunned for a while, smiled, and didn't speak.
"If you bump into Xiao Yuanji next time and go crazy, you can treat it as if you didn't see it." Ruan Yu said seriously: "Don't interfere. ”
*
When Ruan Yu returned home, Xiao Yuanji was lying in Qiushuitang to recuperate from his injuries, and several favored concubines headed by Liu Fushuang had passed, and Qiushuitang was very busy.
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The Jade Moss Courtyard can be clean for a while.
So she was so happy from the bottom of her heart, glad that Lu Ye twisted Xiao Yuanji's hand.
Ruan Yu summoned Liu Fushuang.
Liu Fushuang is the most caring person in front of Xiao Yuanji, Xiao Yuanji will tell her anything, so you can also find out Xiao Yuanji's news from Liu Fushuang.
Liu Fushuang rarely enters the Jade Moss Courtyard, and every time she enters, she is cautious, and she doesn't dare to make a mistake with a smile on her face.
Actually, Ruan Yu wants to say that I don't have so many rules, as long as you don't stand tall in front of me.
"Aunt Liu, I called you over for one thing." Ruan Yu took a sip of tea slowly, "Xiao Yuanji is recuperating now, you are taking care of him closely, you know best what he does." ”
"......" Liu Fushuang lowered her head and didn't dare to answer.
Ruan Yu continued: "If he sees someone he shouldn't see, and he orders something that shouldn't be ordered, and the target is Xilianghou, you can come and tell me." ”
Liu Fushuang: "......"
"If he does, and you don't tell me, I'll put the account on you." Ruan Yu's tone was light, very quiet, but there was a kind of power.
Liu Fushuang sighed in her heart, and hurriedly excused herself: "Master Hou may not tell me what he commands." ”
Ruan Yu smiled and looked at her: "Aunt Liu wants to know something, and she still needs someone else to tell her?" It's all about whether you want to know or not. ”
That's right, she has been working steadily in the back house for so many years, and it is completely difficult to get a message. Liu Fushuang gritted her teeth, she can't offend either the Hou Ye and the princess, as long as the matter doesn't implicate her, she is willing to sell the princess's favor.
"Yes, but I have one condition."
"Say." Ruan Yu smiled slightly.
"I can't let Master Hou know that I got through the news."
Ruan Yu nodded, "Don't worry, my mouths are very tight." I don't have the leisure to chat with Xiao Yuanji. ”
*
After five days, the weather gradually cleared and warmed, and the peach blossoms changed from the scene of wilting a few days ago, and were vigorous and vigorous.
You can smell the sweet scent of flowers all over the yard.
"The carriage is arranged? Okay, tell the groom to wait, and the princess will go out at once. Mingzhu sent the little girl away, and asked Yingzhu if she was ready and was about to go.
At this time of year, Ruan Yu will go to Xiangguo Temple in the eastern suburbs to offer incense, and by the way, admire the peach blossom forest next to Xiangguo Temple.
This is a rare outing for them, so the four maids are very excited and get up early in the morning to prepare.
Half an hour later, we arrived in the eastern suburbs.
Different from the western suburbs where the night is singing, the eastern suburbs are mainly an ancient temple. Incense is in its prime, and there are many believers, whether it is officials, women's relatives or ordinary people, they love to come here to offer incense. Ruan Yu has become a habit of coming here every year to offer incense, but she doesn't know what she is asking for, and every time she comes, she is at a loss, so she asks the Bodhisattva to bless her parents with good health.
This year is still the same, she took three sticks of incense to worship the Bodhisattva, said her wish, and inserted it into the incense ash in the big bronze tripod.
I don't know if it's an illusion, she felt Mars jump and suddenly light up.
She walked out of the Guanyin Temple, and when she went down the steps, she caught a glimpse of a person under the shade of the trees below, wearing a black brocade robe, tall and sharp, which looked a little familiar at first glance.
Ruan Yu stared at it for a while, and found that this person was not Xilianghou?
