Chapter 163: Harmony
Originally, Ruan Xuchen had something to do in the afternoon, but Mu Yifei pestered Ruan Xuchen and didn't let her go, saying that she wouldn't let him go out, Ruan Xuchen was also helpless, but the princess said that she wouldn't let him go out, and Ruan Xuchen really pushed things off and accompanied Ruan Cailing and Mu Yifei at home.
Finally, the sky was getting dark, and finally sent the carriage of the palace away, Ruan Xuchen and Ruan Cailing took a long breath.
"What's the matter with this princess? I had time to come here today, and I had a good day of playing. Ruan Xuchen hammered his shoulders with his backhand to relax.
With such a person as Mu Yifei here, Ruan Xuchen didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and sat upright.
Ruan Cailing looked at Ruan Xuchen's appearance, and knew that Ruan Xuchen was too restrained this afternoon, and he didn't necessarily have to sit upright like this when he was eating a banquet in the palace.
There are few people in the Dingguo Mansion who can get close to Ruan Xuchen's body, as long as it is on Ruan Cailing's side, it must be Qingrui waiting.
"Who knows, maybe it's because of the New Year's Pass these days, and the palace is busy. Concubine Lan wants to accompany the queen to manage the affairs of the harem, and she will definitely not be able to take care of Mu Yifei. Ruan Xuchen said.
There is only this possibility, but what makes Ruan Cailing even more headache is that Mu Yifei said before leaving, he will come back tomorrow!
It seems that the emperor gave Mu Yifei a chance to leave the palace, and this person was like a bird released from the cage.
I can't wait to flutter my wings and land in the courtyard of the Dingguo Mansion.
After Ruan Xuchen went back in the evening, Qingrui helped Ruan Cailing make the bed, and Ruan Cailing sat by the candle with her chin propped up, she was too familiar with Mu Yifei's eyes looking at Ruan Xuchen today, when she looked at Gu Jinxi, it was exactly the same as Mu Yifei looking at Ruan Xuchen today.
Does this mean that Mu Yifei also has some thoughts about Ruan Xuchen?
"Okay, Miss, the bed has been made for you, and there is a soup lady in it, warm and warm." Qingrui patted the bed and asked Ruan Cailing to hurry up and get into bed.
Ruan Cailing came back to her senses, glanced at Qing Rui, and waved her hand to let Qing Rui come over to help her.
Today, she accompanied Mu Yifei to play in the ice and snow outside for too long, and when she came back at night, she began to have leg pain, just before Ruan Xuchen was there, she didn't dare to show it, if Ruan Xuchen found that she was unwell, even if she disobeyed the emperor's order, Mu Yifei was not allowed to bother again.
And Qingrui saw that Ruan Cailing was uncomfortable early, and urged Ruan Xuchen to hurry back to rest, and also wanted to take advantage of this time to help Ruan Cailing rub her legs and relieve Ruan Cailing's discomfort.
"What is Miss thinking? Why do you keep being distracted? Qingrui sat on the edge of the bed and asked.
The room was very warm, and she didn't feel cold just wearing pajamas, and with Qing Rui's warm hand gently rubbing, Ruan Cailing's tightness throughout the day eased down, Ruan Cailing took a long breath and said lightly, "I'm thinking, Mu Yifei's eyes looking at his eldest brother today are very unusual." ”
"Our prince is so handsome and has a gentle personality, there are many nobles in the capital, and it is normal for the princess to like it." Qingrui said.
That's true, but now, there is no one by the eldest brother's side, and Ruan Xuchen Town does not have a favorite person by her side, which makes Ruan Cailing also a little worried, in her previous life, she didn't see that the eldest brother had a confidant, in this life, she always has to help Ruan Xuchen find this person.
But Mu Yifei is a princess in the palace after all, and the eldest brother once made it clear that he doesn't like the women in the palace, whether it is a princess or a county lord, he always feels that he has something to worry about when he is involved with the royal family.
"Heng Zhi is a princess, what if you really like our prince!" Qingrui looked up at Ruan Cailing, Ruan Cailing also slowly opened her eyes and chuckled, "Isn't that a good thing?" There is a person who likes big brother, just as I like Gu Jinxi, that is the happiest thing. ”
Another day is the day of Ruan Cailing and Lu, Ruan Cailing is full of thoughts about whether Gu Jinxi will come to find her, but on the surface, she doesn't have time to pay attention to Gu Jinxi, because Mu Yifei comes every day, every day when people arrive at dawn, and they leave at night.
Ruan Xuchen was pestered by Mu Yifei and didn't pay attention to the trivial matters of the shop for several days, Ruan Cailing didn't start reading the account books until the middle of the night, and she didn't rest well for a few days, that is, tomorrow was the day she was married, Ruan Xuchen urged Ruan Cailing to rest early and not go to bed late.
"Ming'er, you and Lu, there are many people who come to the house to help you celebrate your birthday, and you can't entertain guests with the current black green! You need to get some rest! Ruan Xuchen instructed Ruan Cailing.
Ruan Cailing frowned and said, "Can you not invite these people here?" I really don't want to deal with these people, it's just a matter of time, let's just live at home by ourselves, why invite those irrelevant people! ”
"It can't be said that it is irrelevant, the officials of the DPRK and the Central Government protect each other, in the end, there is something to do with each other, these noble girls in the capital, whether it is a birthday or a variety of festivals, they all hope to be lively, you are good, no one wants to see it." Ruan Xuchen said.
She just doesn't like to see these people, and it has nothing to do with her, mainly after meeting, that kind of greeting makes her tired and panicked, and it is better to rest in the house at that hour.
Originally, Mu Yifei said tomorrow that she would accompany Concubine Lan out of the palace to buy things, but as soon as she heard that Ruan Cailing and Lu were on her birthday, she made a fuss that she must come, but Concubine Lan couldn't resist her, so she had to agree.
The emperor knew that Mu Yifei and Ruan Cailing were friends, and he was also happy to see it.
"Big brother, have you noticed that Chunhui is with you...... This pure wisdom is a bit ...... for you," Ruan Cailing asked Ruan Xuchen.
In fact, Ruan Xuchen himself discovered that Chunhui is innocent and innocent, and it is the type that Ruan Xuchen will like, but Mu Yifei is a princess, and Ruan Xuchen really doesn't want to have anything to do with the royal princess.
He didn't want to be pulled by royalty for the rest of his life.
"Don't worry about me, just live your own life, you will be the eldest girl after tomorrow, you can finally consider marriage, you have to consider you and Gu Jinxi, when I entered the palace, I heard the palace people say that the three princes and the nine princes are still thinking about you."
Speaking of the matter of the Third Prince and the Ninth Emperor, Ruan Cailing had an even more headache, she rolled her eyes, "Don't mention it, you don't miss the princess, and I don't miss the prince either, if it weren't for Gu Jinxi being a prince, otherwise I wouldn't even be willing to go to the Xuanwang Mansion." ”
It's just because Gu Jinxi is the identity of the prince.
What she likes is Gu Jinxi.
"Sleep."
"Congratulations, Miss!"
Ruan Cailing woke up and changed her clothes and was surrounded by a group of people outside, Ruan Cailing's smiling face froze, and finally from her Sihua Building to Jinse Pavilion, Ruan Qi and Ruan Su were already sitting in the hall waiting for Ruan Cailing.
"Daddy." Ruan Cailing really couldn't laugh.
At this hour, none of the people who came to congratulate the gift have arrived, only their own families.
Ruan Sushi looked at her slim daughter and said with relief, "Our Ling'er has also grown up!" Come, this is the gift that my mother gave you, this hairpin was when my mother was still a girl, and in the year of my mother, your grandmother helped me to customize, and now my mother also gave it to you as it was. ”
Ruan Su waved her hand at Ruan Cailing and asked her to squat in front of her, and after she helped Ruan Cailing bring it, she looked at it with a smile, "It's good-looking, it's so good-looking, our daughter is just different." ”
Ruan Qi also had joy in his eyes, and nodded, "Yes, our Ling'er will always be so good-looking, come, this is given to you by your father, your father knows that you have never been short of jewelry, not to mention that you bought it yourself, even your eldest brother bought it for you when he saw it, but my father doesn't know what you like, this is the jade and gold handle given to me by the emperor, you carry it with you, there is always a place to use it." ”
Jade gold handle, this is the only handle in the world Jade Ruyi!
Compared with the kind of jade Ruyi that is played with, this kind is much smaller, less than the size of the palm, and can be worn on the body as a jade pendant, but only this jade gold handle can mobilize gold and silver warehouses everywhere!
"Dad, this!" Ruan Cailing was frightened, and wanted to go back, Ruan Qi put Yu Ruyi in Ruan Cailing's hand and closed it, "This thing is actually a danger to put on my father's body, the emperor said that he likes our Dingguo Mansion, for our decency, but in fact, this thing is also a handle of the emperor when worn on the body, but you are different, you are a daughter." ”
It is precisely because Ruan Cailing is a daughter that the emperor will not think blindly when she wears it on her body, it is just an accessory on the girl's body, and the emperor will not look at Ruan Qi's attitude too much.
Since Ruan Qi asked Ruan Cailing to keep it, she didn't shirk it and put it away directly.
After all the gifts at home were delivered, waiting for the people who came outside to congratulate the gifts, Ruan Cailing and Ruan Xuchen stood at the gate, thanking the people who came to congratulate the gifts together with Ruan Qi and Ruan Su.
Watching the boxes of gifts come in one by one, Ruan Cailing smiled intelligently, and couldn't remember what she said.
"The princess has arrived!" Someone was informed outside.
The people from the Dingguo Mansion hurriedly knelt at the door, waiting for Mu Yifei to get off the carriage, Mu Yifei saw Ruan Xuchen at first sight, but still walked to Ruan Cailing's side, "Sister Ruan, get up, Uncle and Aunt Ruan, everyone get up!" Today is Sister Ruan's birthday, and she is today's birthday! ”
Mu Yifei let everyone return to normal with a word, and Mu Yifei appeared on this occasion, which also gave enough face to the Dingguo Mansion.
But I didn't see Gu Jinxi all day.
"Why don't you see King Xuan's son?" Qingrui looked left and right, but she didn't see Gu Jinxi coming.
Ruan Cailing was also a little angry, pouting and saying, "He's busy, he said in his letter yesterday that he didn't have time to attend the birthday banquet today." ”
No wonder Ruan Cailing was not very happy, it was because Gu Jinxi couldn't come.
