Two days before the old princess's birthday, Ruan Cailing went to Yunxiu Fang every day to help the old lady embroider Buddhist scriptures, and even Zhao Yunxiu could see that Ruan Cailing's intentions were good, and Qingrui also followed Ruan Cailing for two days.

"Miss watch out for your wrists!" Qingrui worried.

When resting, Ruan Cailing turned her wrist and felt a slight pain, after two days of hard work, it was finally completed today, but it was relatively late, and she only went home after dark recently.

The injuries on Gu Jinxi's body have almost recovered, and Uncle Long also said that it is rare, and people with such good health as Gu Jinxi have very good wounds.

So on the day of the old princess's birthday, Gu Jinxi was about to leave the attic of the Dingguo Mansion.

Although she was a little reluctant, she also knew that Gu Jinxi still had things to do, and she couldn't always accompany her.

Ruan Cailing shook her head, "It's nothing, it's just a little painful, and if you work hard, you can finish the embroidery today." ”

Zhao Yunxiu on the side was embroidering another piece of clothing, and when she heard Ruan Cailing's words, she glanced sideways at the ready-to-wear clothes on the table, reached over and touched it, nodded and said, "Well, it's almost an hour and a half!" It's hard to be a big lady! ”

"It's not embarrassing, it's just never done."

"The heart is the most important, the old lady and princess have nothing to do with their current status, we are not more precious than the heart, and we can always suppress a group of people." Zhao Yunxiu said softly.

Ruan Cailing lifted her clothes and looked at them, "As long as the old lady and princess don't dislike it." ”

Ruan Cailing returned to the Dingguo Mansion in the evening, it was very late, everyone rested, and Uncle Fan was surprised when he opened the door for Ruan Cailing, "Miss, why did you come back?" ”

"Uncle Fan, where's my eldest brother?"

Uncle Fan shook his head, "The prince hasn't come back yet, he's been very busy lately, and tomorrow is the birthday of the old lady and princess of Xuanwangfu, and the prince has to attend, so I have to finish everything today, and the meal is still warm on the stove." ”

Sure enough, the eldest brother hasn't come back yet.

Ruan Cailing waved her hand, "That's it, Uncle Fan, you can go back and rest, I'm tired of preparing gifts recently." ”

"Eh! Miss, you also have an early rest! ”

She deliberately went around to the door of the ancestral hall to take a look, but she didn't mean to go up, at this time Gu Jinxi must have rested, after all, she has to leave early tomorrow, Qingrui saw Ruan Cailing hesitate, and stepped forward and asked, "Miss, do you want to go up to see the prince?" ”

Ruan Cailing sighed, shook her head and walked inside, "No, don't delay his rest." ”

Back to Sihua Building, Jiang Chen was still waiting on the first floor of Sihua Building, Jian Ruan Cailing came in and got up quickly, Ruan Cailing didn't take Jiang Chen when she went out today, and she was surprised to see Jiang Chen still here at this time.

Ruan Cailing wondered, "Why are you still here?" Didn't I say you don't have to wait for me? ”

"Miss, there is someone in Shanyun Pavilion."

Ruan Cailing's eyes lit up, and she finally caught her again!

Some time ago, Ruan Qi wanted to thank Xie Qingyuan for saving Ruan Cailing's life, and Xie Qingyuan was about to take the exam for a poor scholar, and the house outside was in tatters and it was not easy to rest, so he asked Uncle Fan to take Xie Qingyuan to live in the Dingguo Mansion.

After Xie Qingyuan came to the Dingguo Mansion, he thought that he could get close to the water with Ruan Cailing, but he didn't expect Ruan Cailing to go to the ancestral hall when he was free, and rest in the Sihua Building when he was not free.

But during this time, Shen Yunyun and Xie Qingyuan have always been very peaceful, and they have never met or done anything out of the ordinary.

Ruan Cailing is still calculating in her heart, it is not a matter of one or two days for these two people to be embarrassed, and I don't know how long I can endure this time.

It's only been ten days!

Ruan Cailing, who had been busy all day, was a little sleepy, but when she heard Jiang Chen's words, she immediately came to her senses, and she sat where Jiang Chen was sitting, "When!" ”

Qingrui said helplessly, "Miss, can't you talk about these things tomorrow?" You are so tired that you fall asleep in the carriage, I will help you fetch water and take a hot bath, so hurry up and rest! ”

Ruan Cailing thought about it, but felt that it was inappropriate, "You let people boil water first, Jiang Chen, tell me when you saw it." ”

Seeing that Ruan Cailing couldn't be beaten, Qingrui had to go down to find someone to boil water.

Recently, the people who are on night duty in Sihua Building are very confused, the former eldest lady is not at home, even if she is not in Sihua Building, at most she is in the attic or Jinse Pavilion to accompany the elders, since when did she always run out? Every time I come back in the middle of the night!

After Qingrui went down, Jiang Chen said, "Today, Miss Cousin said that she was not feeling well, and she did not accompany the old lady to eat in the hall, and when it was dark, someone saw Gongzi Xie enter the courtyard of Shanyun Pavilion. ”

"Who saw that?" Ruan Cailing asked vigilantly.

Jiang Chen said, "Miss, don't worry, it's the person we put near Shanyun Pavilion, no one else knows, it's not credible that I was unwell and rested in the room early, only Tingfei, who was waiting closely, was by my side." ”

It turns out that this is the case, since it is her own person, Ruan Cailing doesn't want this matter to be known by others too early, she can endure Shen Yunyun and Xie Qingyuan for a while, but if such a humiliating thing is known by her father, I am afraid that Shen Yunyun will marry Xie Qingyuan early.

After that, things are troublesome.

"By the way, what's going on with Xie Qingyuan and Ji Jingyan? I heard that Xie Qingyuan and Ji Jingyan are very close. Ruan Cailing asked Jiang Chen.

According to Jiang Chen's investigation, this matter was mainly because at the wedding banquet in General Jingkang's mansion, Ji Jingyan felt that Xie Qingyuan was brilliant at a glance, so she admired it.

At the beginning, Xie Qingyuan was still half-pushing, but after a long time, Xie Qingyuan, who came and went, began to gradually accept Ji Jingyan's favor, it is said that the relationship between the two is quite stable now, Xie Qingyuan is very good to Ji Jingyan, very gentleman.

It is said that King Ping did not object to this matter very much, and let Ji Jingyan go to Xie Qingyuan from time to time.

It seems that King Ping has a mind.

"Miss, my subordinates don't understand. This King Ping is the emperor's non-brother, his status is noble, and the county lord of Anyang is only subordinate to the princess, even if the prince of a neighboring country comes to ask for a kiss, we may not agree, but why is King Ping willing to let the county lord of Anyang have a relationship with Xie Qingyuan? ”

Ruan Cailing pinched her handkerchief, glanced at Jiang Chen, and sneered, "People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, this Pingwang's abacus is good." ”

Nowadays, among the people in the capital who are preparing for the palace examination, the most outstanding ones are Xie Qingyuan and Wen Rushi, and Wen Rushi does not understand the world and does not know how to be flexible.

Even if King Ping intends to win over, he has to see that he can do it.

But Xie Qingyuan is a smiling tiger who knows how to disguise in front of the powerful, King Ping must have known about Ji Jingyan's bet on the treasure before, and he also knew that Xie Qingyuan would not make a big deal for a small profit.

It is precisely such a person that King Ping needs.

You must know that the jade pendant that Ji Jingyan bet on at the beginning was not an ordinary treasure, it was also a token and a symbol of Pingwangfu, and the person who carried the exquisite jade pendant could order the reserve army of Pingwangfu.

Ji Jingyan didn't know this, but Ruan Cailing was sure that Xie Qingyuan already knew.

Maybe King Ping just took a fancy to Xie Qingyuan.

"So what do we do? Do you want to let the county lord of Anyang know about this? Jiang Chen asked.

Ruan Cailing bit her lower lip and thought for a while, Qingrui shook the water in her hand and came in again, "Miss, the hot water is ready." ”

"Oh good."

She got up and walked in the direction of the bathing room, thinking as she walked, as soon as she stepped out of the door of Sihua Building, she turned to Jiang Chen and said, "Don't startle the snake, we still need more evidence." ”

Jiang Chen lowered his head, "Yes." ”

Sitting in the bathtub, Ruan Cailing closed her eyes, surrounded by a faint scent of roses, she likes to meditate alone when she bathes, and does not like others to be busy around, Qingrui and Li'er are guarding outside.

Ji Jingyan is sorry, although she doesn't want to involve anyone, but Ji Jingyan has everything Xie Qingyuan needs, so when it doesn't work on her side, Xie Qingyuan will definitely abandon her and choose another better choice, that is, the county lord of Anyang.

With the help of the Ping Wangfu, Xie Qingyuan will definitely be able to rise to the top.

Therefore, Ji Jingyan is herself in her previous life.

Ruan Cailing slowly opened her eyes, there was a mist in front of her, she raised her hand to puff the water, "Ji Jingyan, I'm sorry." ”

The next day, the birthday of the old princess of Xuanwangfu, everyone prepared in advance, and Ruan Xuchen was waiting for Ruan Cailing downstairs in Sihua Building early in the morning.

"Miss, this dress is so beautiful!" Ruan Cailing stood in front of the bronze mirror, Qingrui was busy helping her sort out the small folds on her body, and picked up jade pendants and other accessories to help her tie them around her waist.

Ruan Cailing raised her hand to wear earrings, she was used to wearing purple, and now this purple is slightly bright.

This is different from going to the Jingkang General's Mansion to attend the wedding banquet, the old princess likes bright colors when she is old, this is what Zhao Yunxiu told her.

At the wedding banquet, she couldn't steal the limelight from the bride, so she wore light-colored clothes, and the old princess must have liked colorful and dark colors.

The dark purple dress was in the sun, and there was a sparkling feeling as Ruan Cailing walked, as if her whole person was in the streamer.

This kind of occasion is the same as choosing a concubine, and it is definitely not ordinary to be able to look good in it.

"Big brother!" Ruan Xuchen was looking at his fan in a daze, and when he heard Ruan Cailing's voice, he was startled, and then turned around to look.

Ruan Cailing was running down from the stairs, with Xiao Ning at her feet.

Ruan Cailing stood still in front of Ruan Xuchen and turned around, "Is it good-looking?" ”

Ruan Xuchen nodded, "You look good, you look good in whatever you wear!" ”

"Really! I haven't worn this dress yet! ”

Only at this time can Ruan Xuchen feel that his sister is just an ordinary woman, and women are pleasing to themselves!
