Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Rose Hairpin

Not long ago, the vow was still lingering in his ears, he said that he only asked her for love in this life, he said that other women were no longer women in his eyes, and he also said that there were no new people in the palace······

The oath is still there, but the heart of the person who can promise is gone.

She looked at him stupidly, it turned out that his gentle tiredness in bed was not only for her, he also loved and cherished other women······

I don't know when, An Lan accompanied An Lirong and Huaying Kuang Qinqin also came to Yunsong Courtyard, and it seemed that they came to invite Mu Lingzhi to the front hall for a banquet. Looking at Yu Ruyan, who was standing at the door with a pale face, An Lan's eyes flashed, her expression was clear, and she quickly stepped forward and raised her voice: "Why does Miss Xiaoqing stay here and not enter the house." Oops, why are your hands so cold, how long have you been standing outside? ”

Her deliberate loud voice caused a panic in the house, and in less than a moment, Chen Yanfei, who was disheveled, opened the door with a white face, knelt on the edge of the threshold with a thud, and trembled all over······ Your Highness ······"

Everyone looked at Yu Ruyan's description, and then looked at Chen Yanfei, who was disheveled, and suddenly understood it in their hearts.

An Lan's eyes gently swept over Yu Ruyan, who was completely stunned, and said to Chen Yanfei, who was kneeling on the ground: "Get up, whether you should die or not, your Highness has the final say." ”

Hearing this, Chen Yanfei's whole body trembled with fear, knelt on the ground and raised his tearful face to Yu Ruyan, who was speechless, and said, "Sister, forgive me, I really didn't mean to, it was His Highness who was drunk······

Suddenly, there was a loud 'bang' in the house, and then Mu Lingzhi's muffled snort was heard, everyone was shocked, and An Lirong's face changed greatly and he stepped into the room first. The others also followed the side concubine into the house one by one, and Yu Ruyan didn't know who was dragging her into the house together.

Under the bright lights, the bed in the room was a mess, and a bright red color dyed on the snow-white bedding was particularly dazzling.

Mu Lingzhi sat in front of the bed in a decadent manner, his face was flushed, his head was as uncomfortable as if he had been pricked by a needle, his face was blue and gloomy.

Looking at the people who suddenly poured out of the room, his mind was in chaos, he frowned and swept around the crowd uncomfortably, and a look of ignorance flashed on his face, as if he didn't know what was happening now!

"Why are you all here?"

His eyes swept over Chen Yanfei, who was kneeling in the center of the room, and saw that she was dressed in disheveled clothes, and suddenly remembered something, and when he looked up again, his face was white, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his eyes involuntarily searched for Yu Ruyan's figure, and saw her standing there with a pale face, and the disappointment and resentment in his eyes made him panic instantly.

He involuntarily stretched out his hand to her, endured the discomfort of his head hurting to blow up, and said to her eagerly: "Let me explain!" ”

It was only at this time that Yu Ruyan's sanity was withdrawn little by little, she looked coldly at his hand stretched out to herself, and then looked at Chen Yanfei who was trembling in the middle, countless resentment surged in her heart, but her throat seemed to be pierced with sharp needles, her breathing was uncomfortable, and she couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, An Lan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, today is your birthday, look, do you want to be happy and accept this girl?" ”

A light sneer escaped from An Lirong's mouth, her cold eyes looked at Chen Yanfei on the ground, and mocked: "Just now, this girl said that His Royal Highness was drunk and accepted her." Scold. Coincidentally, one or two of them met His Highness drunk. It seems that in the future, the girls who peep at His Highness in this mansion will have a good example to learn. ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Chen Yanfei's face turned white, but An Lan's face was whiter and uglier than her!

Everyone in the whole mansion knows that An Lan was also accepted by His Royal Highness like this!

The old thing is brought up again, and it is said at such a delicate moment, the meaning of An Lirong's words is very clear, that is, what she did back then was deliberately done by her.

Mu Lingzhi's icy gaze swept over An Lan's Chen Yanfei, who finally stopped on the ground, and his voice was even colder than the cold winter weather: "Drive her out of the house!" ”

Chen Yanfei's whole body trembled, he looked up at Mu Lingzhi in disbelief, his face was full of horror and despair, and he lost his voice: "Your Highness, I am already your person, please don't drive me away······

She knelt on the ground and begged for a long time, her forehead was broken, but Mu Lingzhi didn't look at her anymore, just looked at Yu Ruyan with a flustered and guilty expression, and pleaded again: "Qing'er, let me explain!" ”

Yu Ruyan never said a word, her eyes were empty and dull, her face was full of disappointment, and her heart was cold and numb!

The panicked and frightened Chen Yanfei followed his gaze to see Yu Ruyan, a trace of hope flashed in his desperate eyes, and he hurriedly knelt down in front of Yu Ruyan and begged: "Sister, help me say something, please, don't let His Highness drive me away, I am already His Highness's person, where else can I go?" ”

She cried heartbreakingly, tears in her big round eyes, as if she regarded Yu Ruyan as the last straw to save her life, and put all her hopes on her.

"Sister, Your Highness loves you the most, he will definitely listen to you if you help me intercede, sister, please ······"

Everyone in the room was silent, only Chen Yanfei's hoarse crying was left. After a long time, Yu Ruyan lowered her head and looked at her fixedly, and suddenly saw the crumbling white jade hairpin on her head, and her heart suddenly brightened.

Looking at the woman in front of her, her tone was as light as a wisp of smoke: "I just want to ask you, did you volunteer or did Your Highness force you to do today's matter?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Yanfei was stunned on the spot, she never expected that she would ask her like this in front of everyone, and she didn't say a word for a long time.

Mu Lingyi looked at Yu Ruyan, whose complexion had returned to normal, with a sad face, and his heart was full of panic, he knew that the more calm she was, the deeper the misunderstanding and hatred of him in his heart.

Everyone's eyes looked at Chen Yanfei with burning eyes, to see how she would answer?

Seeing that Chen Yanfei didn't answer herself for a long time, Yu Ruyan smiled coldly, she squatted down and took down the crumbling white jade rose hairpin on her bun, her fingers gently stroked the delicate flowers on the warm jade, and said word by word: "This is the hairpin flower that His Royal Highness gave me, I have been reluctant to take it in the box like a baby, I suddenly disappeared a few days ago, I couldn't find it, I didn't expect it to run to your head, heh, you- do you like this hairpin very much?" ”

From the moment Yu Ruyan took off the hairpin on her head, Chen Yanfei's heart was desperate and cold, and his whole body trembled like chaff.

She spent all her efforts to quietly drug Mu Lingzhi's tea to confuse him, but he was firm and different from ordinary people, and he was indifferent to her, she couldn't, she had to pretend to be jade, and wearing the hairpin flower made by Mu Lingzhi for her was completely confused······

She wanted to use the excuse that Mu Lingzhi was drunk and took her into the room, but she was so flustered just now that she forgot to hide the rose hairpin on her head!

Yu Ruyan Bingxue is smart, and the moment she sees the hairpin, her heart is already bright. Although she didn't have a heart-to-heart relationship with Chen Yanfei, she didn't feel bad to herself, and later treated her as a sister because of Uncle Chen Chen's mother, but she didn't expect that she would do such a shitty thing behind her back.

Mu Lingzhi also realized that all this today was a conspiracy set up by the girl in front of him, his eyes were cold, and he shouted fiercely: "Don't drive her out yet!" ”

Chen Yanfei was dragged away, and the room suddenly fell into death-like silence, Mu Lingzhi sat on the edge of the bed with a pale face, and the others didn't dare to say a word, not even opening their mouths to invite him to the front to sit down.

He waved his hand to let the An family and the others leave, leaving Yu Ruyan alone.

Under the bright light, she stood far away from him with her head bowed, never looking at him again, Mu Lingzhi got up and came to her, and wanted to take her hand but she avoided it without hesitation.

In fact, today's events are even more uncomfortable for Mu Lingzhi, he feels guilty, embarrassed and angry at the moment, if it weren't for the fact that today is his birthday, he would have wanted to kill that with one sword.

He looked at Yu Ruyan, who was indifferent to him, his heart was cold to the bottom, his hand stopped in mid-air, his face was pale, and his voice was hoarse with a hint of trembling: "Since you already know that all this today was deliberately done by her." Why do you want to be angry with me? ”

Yu Ruyan's heart was filled with waves of bitterness and sourness, and there were endless grievances and endless discomfort in her heart, but she couldn't say a word, for a long time, she gently looked up at Mu Lingzhi with a haggard face, put the box that had been dragging in her hand on the table next to him, and reluctantly pulled out a smile and said: "Your Highness, today is your birthday, the slave maid has nothing good to give you, I made some gadgets, please smile!" ”

The words fell, and she turned to leave.

She hadn't called herself a 'slave' in front of him for a long time, and such a self-proclaimed title instantly narrowed the distance between them, Mu Lingzhi's face turned pale, and without thinking about it, he grabbed her hand, held it tightly in his hand and refused to let go, and said in a trembling voice: "Today······ It's me who is wrong, and I admit my mistake to you······"

His voice trembled, and such a whispered plea had never been seen in the Holy Place. He has always been a high-spirited and unstoppable third prince of Liang, when did he need to beg for a lowly slave like this?

In order to make twelve satisfied sugar people, Yu Ruyan was busy all day, from morning to now, without a drop of water. Her mind was dizzy for a while, the blisters on her hands were painful to hold by him, and her heart was sour and her tone was frozen: "Your Highness has a noble status, and the slave and maid can't afford it." It's just that every word His Highness said to the slave and maid was engraved in the heart of the slave and maid with a knife, and - all of them were taken seriously. Slaves and maids are more serious by nature, and they will die to the end if they recognize the right things, since Your Highness can't do it, why do you still make a promise to slaves and maids?! ”

Speaking of the back, she almost screamed.

Even if she knew that today's incident was Chen Yanfei's conspiracy, but the love between the two in front of her was what she saw with her own eyes, she watched his big hands roaming over other women, watched him kiss other women, watched him fit closely with other women, how could she bear all this?

Now as long as she sees him, she will involuntarily appear in front of her eyes The picture of him fornicating with other women, she is going crazy!

The grievances and pain in her heart swelled wildly, her breathing was stagnant, even though she knew that he was also a victim, but the resentment in her heart still couldn't help but vent on him.

She pulled out her hand vigorously, turned around and fled outside, but before she could reach the door, she was chased by Mu Lingzhi again-

His deep eyes lit up with blood, and he held her tightly in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, frantically demanding the sweetness in her mouth.

Looking at the alienation and disgust in her eyes, he felt frightened for no reason, he was afraid that she would never come back once she left, and only by locking her in his arms would he have a sense of security.

Yu Ruyan gritted her teeth tightly, and used all her strength to break free from his captivity, and now every touch of his made her sick to her stomach!

But the more she struggled, the more crazy Mu Lingzhi became, he seemed to have lost the last of his senses, put her against the table, reached out to tear her clothes, she struggled desperately, and bit his lip, but even if his lip was bitten and bleeding, he still didn't want to let go of her······

In the chaos, the box containing the candy man was pushed off the table and fell to the floor with a 'bang'.

The box cracked, and twelve lifelike little sugar figures inside fell out, scattered on the ground.

The two of them were awakened by the sound, both turned their heads to look at the ground, and when Mu Lingzhi saw the broken sugar man on the ground, his heart froze, and his angry mind instantly sobered up, he looked at the sugar man on the ground blankly, his eyes flashed brightly, remembering what he had just done to her, the guilt in his heart was even stronger, and his bright eyes were dead······

There was a white light outside the window, and before I knew it, the sky was bright.

Yu Ruyan sat on the wooden bed in the small bungalow, sitting with her eyes open from last night to now······

Later, the prince and everyone in Mufu came to the palace to congratulate him on his birthday, Mu Lingzhi went to the front hall, and she stumbled back to the small bungalow in the dark.

She was very tired, her whole body was sore, her brain was chaotic, but she didn't feel sleepy at all, from last night to now, her eyes didn't close for a moment, and there was always a voice in her heart asking herself, what should she do? Is it to forget everything last night and live with him without any guilt, or is it ······

There was a knock at the door, her whole body trembled, and she looked up blankly, but she heard a sad woman's voice outside the door—

"Girl, please open the door, I'm Mother Chen, Yan Fei is sorry for you, I confessed my mistake to you for her, it's my goddaughter who has no way to raise a good daughter, I'll plead for her."

As soon as the words fell, there was a thud of kowtowing. She was shocked, and hurriedly got up from the bed to open the door, in the thin morning light, Chen's mother knelt at her door with a miserable face, and kept kowtowing to her, so frightened that Yu Ruyan hurriedly stopped her.

She hated Chen Yanfei in her heart, she not only deceived her, but also deceived the copper money that was devoted to her wholeheartedly, she became the eternal diaphragm between Yu Ruyan and Mu Lingzhi's feelings for selfish interests, and also separated the master-servant friendship between Mu Lingzhi and the copper money for so many years.

But Chen's mother is innocent, and she has been taking care of her a lot. She was punished by Gu Qing'er, it was Chen's mother who picked up the light to help her pick out the barbs on her back little by little, helped her apply medicine to make porridge, and she also helped take care of the knife accident, and she kept this kindness firmly in her heart.

She stepped forward and pulled up Chen's mother, and said slowly, "What are you doing here?" Yan Fei is Yan Fei, you are you, I hate her but I don't hate you. ”

In one night, Chen's mother seemed to be several years old, her face was full of sadness and guilt, tears rolled down like a river without embankment, and she choked up: "Yan Fei should be damned, girl, you should hate her." But, it's ······."

Before she finished speaking, Chen's mother was already sad, and her tears flowed faster: "But no matter how wrong she is, she is still my daughter, and in the final analysis, it is still my fault." She is by my side every day, and I didn't even know that she had thoughts about Her Highness that she shouldn't have, let alone that she still used such inferior methods······ Girl, all her mistakes are my fault, I am over half a hundred years old, and she is the only daughter like her, please forgive her for my sake······"

Yu Ruyan said: "Although I hate her, but now that His Highness has punished her, I will not pursue it again, you let her live a good life in the future!" ”

Mother Chen cried and shook her head: "She is crazy, and she is bent on following Her Highness." After sending her out of the house last night, I entrusted her to my cousin's house, but I didn't expect that she was looking for death and life, and she was thrown into the pond and hanged, and she must go back to the palace before she would stop. Girl, Your Highness loves you the most, I beg you to go and say a word to Your Highness, let Your Highness be merciful and leave her, her current body has been given to His Highness, and she can only be His Highness's person in this life, girl, Mother Chen only has such a daughter, and she doesn't want white people to send black people······"

Chen's mother cried and begged with tears, and her voice was hoarse. Yu Ruyan looked at the extra white of her sideburns, and her heart swelled up, but Mu Lingzhi had already driven her out of the house, and his character was the same, even if she was willing to keep her, it was estimated that Mu Lingzhi would not agree.

At this time, the copper coin came, and his face was also ugly, Chen's mother saw him, thinking that her daughter had used him before and hurt his feelings, her face suddenly turned white and red, and her expression was extremely guilty and embarrassed, she glanced at Yu Ruyan and didn't say anything more, lowered her head and wiped her tears silently and walked away.

The copper coin also seemed to have not slept all night, his face was pale and dull, and his eyes were dull like a fool. He said in a daze: "Your Highness invited you to the front hall, saying that you have something to say!" ”

Yu Ruyan looked at the haggard in his eyes and felt distressed in her heart, the same pain, so she could understand how Tong Qian felt at the moment, she stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, grinned at him, and comforted: "Is a good man still worried about having no wife?" Don't worry, I will help you find a good girl in the future. ”

Seeing that she was uncomfortable, Tong Qian came to comfort her, her heart warmed, and she also reluctantly pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying and said, "Well, I wrote it down." ”

Early in the morning, except for the people from the Ziluo Courtyard, all the other people in the palace gathered in the front hall, where a birthday banquet had just been held for Mu Lingzhi last night, and the air seemed to be able to smell the aftertaste of wine and food.

The big hall was full of people, Mu Lingzhi sat on the top seat, An Lirong sat on the bottom side, An Lan and Huaying Kuang Qinqin stood on both sides, and the servants stood below.

And the woman kneeling in the middle of the hall was Chen Yanfei, who was kicked out of the house late, but at this moment she had changed into a brand new dress and knelt in the center upright, her expression was not as good as last night, and her calm face couldn't help but show a trace of smugness and excitement!

Three years ago, she entered the palace with her father, and when she saw Mu Lingzhi in the garden for the first time, she made up her mind to become Mu Lingzhi's woman in this life, so she spent all her efforts to climb into Mu Lingzhi's bed, but in the end, she was not carried away as a lady and aunt as she imagined, but was ruthlessly driven out of the palace by His Royal Highness.

She searched for death and life all night last night, thinking that it would be impossible to enter the palace again in this life, but she didn't expect to be picked up by the palace early this morning, and put on new clothes for her, dressed up, smart as her, and suddenly thought that the palace must have regretted it, and took her back, with a smug look on her face.

An Lirong and An Lan were all confused, I don't know why His Royal Highness, who has always said everything, obviously drove her out and picked her up early in the morning?

As surprised as they were, Yu Ruyan, who had just entered the door, came in with the copper coin, and when she saw Chen Yanfei kneeling in the middle of the room, she couldn't help but stagnate!

She was actually picked up?

On the way here, she was still thinking about what Mu Lingzhi had asked her to come over so early in the morning, but now when she saw Chen Yanfei, who was dressed in new clothes, she suddenly understood-

It turned out that he actually repented, took her into the mansion again, and gave her a name depending on the situation!

But what is he going to do when he wants to welcome her into the house and give her a name?

Angry and hateful in her heart, she looked at Mu Lingzhi coldly, looked at the scars on the corners of his mouth, and hated that she didn't bite harder last night!

Mu Lingzhi didn't seem to have slept well last night, his eyes were dark and blue, and he looked quite tired, seeing her come in, his gray eyes lit up slightly, but after seeing the chill in her eyes, his face became gloomy.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, An Lan was about to speak but was preempted by An Lirong, she slowly opened her mouth and asked Mu Lingzhi: "Your Highness called everyone over early in the morning, but there is something important to order?" ”

Since Yu Ruyan came in, Mu Lingzhi's eyes had been glued to her and he was reluctant to take it away, and when he heard An Lirong's words, he said coldly: "The mother concubine has always blamed the palace for the lack of prosperity and the withering of the heirs, so the palace decided to accept the Chen family as a concubine and give her a place in the Spring Courtyard." ”

Hearing this, Chen Yanfei's whole body trembled, and he was so happy that tears came out, he lay on the ground and kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice: "Concubine, thank you for Your Highness's grace!" ”

Although everyone had many doubts in their hearts, His Royal Highness would never be wrong to speak in person, and they all stepped forward to congratulate her, and the sound of 'Aunt Chen' pierced Yu Ruyan's heart!

She gritted her teeth to suppress the chill all over her body, slowly came to Chen Yanfei, took out the white jade rose hairpin that she had stolen and sent it to her, and said with a light smile: "Congratulations to my aunt for becoming the new favorite of His Highness's back house." Doesn't my aunt like this hosta? The slave gave it to her aunt as a congratulatory gift, hoping that her aunt would accept it with a smile! ”

After that, he raised his hand and inserted the hosta into Chen Yanfei's head, and after taking a serious look, he said: "This hairpin is really suitable for my aunt, and I hope that my aunt will always carry it!" ”

This white jade rose hairpin helped Chen Yanfei climb onto Mu Lingzhi's bed smoothly, but it was also an eternal shame in her heart, as long as she saw this hairpin, she would be reminded of what kind of despicable means she used to get the position of aunt, so when Yu Ruyan helped her put on the hairpin flower, she was deeply uncomfortable, her face was blue and white, and she completely lost the look she had just now.

Mu Lingzhi saw that Yu Ruyan had made a hairpin made by herself and given it to others and gave it to others, and his heart ached, he knew that this hurdle in her heart was only getting deeper and deeper.

Waving his hand to silence everyone, he announced in a deep voice: "The maidservant Xiaoqing, who has won the heart of this palace, has been named a side concubine and given to live in the Rose Courtyard!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and everyone's eyes looked at Yu Ruyan, who was more shocked than anyone else.

An Lirong stood up from her seat with a 'whew', her face shocked, she never expected that a lowly military prostitute would become a side concubine on an equal footing with her!

An Lan and Huaying were both stunned and couldn't believe it, and the newcomer Chen Yanfei was even splashed with a basin of cold water, cold from the beginning to the end-

It turned out that she had become an aunt and could finally be as tall as a face, but she didn't expect that with Mu Lingzhi's words, she became a side concubine, but she was taller than she didn't know how much!

Everyone looked at Yu Ruyan with shock, surprise, envy, and jealousy, but in an uproar, Yu Ruyan, who came back to her senses, looked coldly at the man who gave her supreme glory, and said coldly:

"The slave doesn't agree!"
