Chapter 21: Eavesdropping

Chu Yunxi is simply a good hand at sowing discord, how did the Queen Mother think Dou Ruya was pleasing to the eye just now, but now, how can she feel like a nest of fire.

The Queen Mother also deliberately knocked over the fresh fruit plate next to her, blaming Dou Ruya for accidentally knocking it over.

Dou Ruya was aggrieved and wanted to justify, but at this time, Chu Yunxi came to be a good person, and hurriedly said: "Sister Dou, you accidentally knocked over the fruit plate, just help it up, the Queen Mother is kind, and she doesn't mean to blame Sister Dou, otherwise, it's better for Yunxi to pick it up." ”

Chu Yunxi stood up and made a gesture of bending down to pick it up, and the Queen Mother spoke, saying, "Don't move, let her pick it up, it's reasonable to knock over the plate, the mourning family is not used to this." ”

Dou Ruya was wronged, the plate was clearly not overturned by herself, but she sat down, it was really hard to argue.

Dou Ruya endured it for a long time, and looked like she was dripping again, biting her lip and kneeling down to pick up the plate, and respectfully put it on the table.

Chu Yunxi looked at Dou Ruya's appearance, and he must have gritted his teeth at the Queen Mother in his heart.

Dou Ruya is not a white lotus, she looks soft and weak, but she actually has a lot of palpitations, but she is a master of grudges, and she hates others for wronging her the most in her life.

In fact, not only Dou Ruya hated the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother also added a sum to Dou Ruya's heart, which can be regarded as a tie.

The Queen Mother rubbed the corners of her forehead and said, "Forget it, you all retreat, the noisy family is not peaceful, kneel in peace." ”

Chu Yunxi stood up in a proper manner, and knelt out of the queen mother's palace with Dou Ruya.

The queen mother said that she asked Chu Yunxi to come to the palace and choose a dowry while drinking tea. But in the end, he didn't mention the dowry, nor did he mention the reward, so he let Chu Yunxi go.

Chu Yunxi is not uncommon with her little things, General Chu Jiutang is Chu Yunxi's only daughter, and her food and clothing are the best, and her dowry is also incomparable to other girls.

Chu Yunxi came out refreshed, Dou Ruya still felt unhappy when she came out, glanced at Chu Yunxi, and said, "I still have something to do here, so I won't bother Sister Chu." ”

She said that, and without waiting for Chu Yunxi to reply, she had already turned around and left.

Chu Yunxi looked at her back, and always felt that Dou Ruya had become a big frog with a bulging belly.

She didn't stay in the Queen Mother's palace for long, Chu Yunxi came out, and she was going to go to the Carriage and Horse Department to go back to the house, so as not to make her mother anxious at home, in case she was really anxious, it would be a headache to enter the palace to save people.

Here, the palace maid led Chu Yunxi to the carriage and horse department, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Dou Ruya again.

It turned out that Dou Ruya didn't walk very fast, and she didn't go far, just ahead.

But at this time, Dou Ruya was taking two steps in a hurry, eager to run, and said while walking quickly: "Lord! The prince is waiting for Ya! ”

Chu Yunxi took a look, there was another person in front of her, it was Li Mu, the king of Yingchuan who came with her just now.

Li Mu just said that he was going to enter the palace by the way, so he came with Chu Yunxi, but Li Mu didn't have anything important to do when he entered the palace, he went to the political hall to take a look, and there was no official document to deal with, so he came out.

At this time, it happened that Dou Ruya was about to leave the palace, and she saw Li Mu as she walked.

Although Dou Ruya's voice is not very high, it is always the voice of her daughter's family, so it is more sharp. Li Mu should have heard someone calling him, but he didn't stop.

Dou Ruya called him again, simply ran up, ran in front of Li Mu, and then raised his arms to stop him, and said, "Lord Wang, are you hiding from Ruya?" ”

"Yes, Ruya." Li Mu showed a surprised expression and said, "It turns out that you are also in the palace today. ”

Dou Ruya said: "Where I am, the prince naturally doesn't know." Has the prince been hiding from Ya'er for the past few days, we live under the same roof, but we can't see each other. It seems that the prince has devoted all his thoughts to Sister Chu these days, and only cares about Sister Chu alone. ”

Dou Ruya's tone of voice was neither light nor heavy, as if she blamed Li Mu, but she was a little shy, like a coquettish joke between lovers.

Li Mu smiled casually and said, "Yunxi will soon be the king's woman, shouldn't the king care more about her?" ”

Dou Ruya didn't answer his words for a while, as if this was not what she wanted to hear.

Li Mu said again: "The Yingchuan Royal Mansion is so big, it is common to not see each other. ”

Dou Ruya bit her lower lip unwillingly, and said, "But in the past, it wasn't like this......"

Li Mu frowned and said, "What was the past?" The king did not understand. ”

Dou Ruya showed a sad expression and said, "Lord Wang, are you complaining about Ruya?" Complaining about Ruya doesn't know how to cherish, is it taking revenge on Ruya? ”

Li Mu said lightly: "This is understandable, this king still doesn't understand." ”

Dou Ruya said: "The prince either doesn't understand, or he is complaining about Ruya." Past Events...... It's Ruya's fault, so can the prince give Ruya another chance? ”

Li Mu's face changed, he didn't look very good, and his voice became a little cold, and he said, "I don't remember what happened before. The past is the past, how can it be done again. Besides, the emperor has already given marriage, and Yunxi will immediately become the princess of this king. This king doesn't want the future princess to have any misunderstanding about this king. Therefore, it is better to be cautious in your words and deeds. ”

Dou Ruya listened to Li Mu's words, and her face changed, she was sad and desperate, as if she would faint in the next moment.

Dou Ruya hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and at a glance, she saw Chu Yunxi behind the tree.

Chu Yunxi was standing not far away, after all, she was also going out of the palace, and the road was the same as Dou Ruya's.

Chu Yunxi was not a few steps behind Dou Ruya, and the conversation between the two of them could be heard clearly. She didn't mean to eavesdrop, anyway, Li Mu and Dou Ruya had a little love, Chu Yunxi knew better than others, she had read the original book.

Chu Yunxi just didn't want to embarrass everyone in the past now, so he deliberately stood farther away, and when they finished talking, he would go over again, so as not to be embarrassed, which could be regarded as empathetic.

Dou Ruya thought that Chu Yunxi was hiding behind a tree and eavesdropping, her eyes flickered twice, and she suddenly said, "Lord Wang, do you hate Ya'er so much?" Hates Ya'er doesn't understand the prince's mind, and hates Ya'er for ruining the prince's true feelings. You hate Ya'er, and Ya'er deserves it. But Sister Chu is innocent! The prince can't take advantage of Sister Chu's feelings just because he wants to take revenge on Ya'er. Sister Chu is so simple and kind, if she is used like this, it is really ...... It's pathetic. ”

Dou Ruya said this on purpose, she wanted to stick a knife in Chu Yunxi's heart, and she had to turn the knife twice until the blood was sparkling, just to tell Chu Yunxi clearly that Li Mu wanted to marry her just to use her, not to love her.

"That's enough."

Li Mu snorted, although the voice was not loud, but the momentum was extraordinary, which scared Dou Ruya.

Dou Ruya immediately closed her mouth and didn't dare to say a word. She has always felt that Li Mu is a gentle person, and she has never seen him so angry, nor has she ever seen him so serious.

Li Mu squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Don't speculate on the king's intentions. ”
