Chapter 30: Entering the Palace

The weather is gradually getting warmer, and with the arrival of the spring breeze, the earth has also entered the prelude to recovery.

Ruyi has been waiting for people in the inn for the past few days, and since the last time he was tracked and had to change to a remote inn, Ruyi is no longer keen to go to the restaurant to listen to the corner. Honestly read books in the room and practice calligraphy.

"Miss, who do you see coming?" Xia He happily ran in. Ruyi looked up and saw Ling Huyuan standing at the door, smiling at himself. Ruyi was also very happy to get up and bypass the desk to greet him, "Brother Linghu, you came back quite quickly, I thought I would have to wait for two more days." ”

"When I received the letter from the eldest prince and you, I rushed back immediately." Ling Huyuan took off his cloak, handed it to Qingmo, and walked towards the house. The two of them were gone, and the familiarity felt like they had been together all along. Qingmo glanced at Xia He, and the two quietly exited the room.

"May I see what you're writing?" Linghu Yuan walked around to the desk and knelt on the cushion. The silk silk has been written with dense small characters, the handwriting is neat and resolute, and the pen is strong and powerful.

What was written on the silk was all countermeasures, and Hu Yuan had to admire them one by one. I didn't expect Ruyi's mind to be so meticulous and clever, one ring after another, interlocking, like a huge chess game, each chess piece is rehearsed in its own position, and the whole body is moved. Each of them is a son in this chess game, including himself. Looking at this elaborate and ingenious layout, he was willing to be her pawn.

"Okay, great, Ruyi." Ling Huyuan said sincerely.

For the first time, Ruyi heard Ling Huyuan praise himself so bluntly, but he was a little shy: "Brother Linghu, don't praise me." Otherwise, I should have flown into the sky. ”

Ling Huyuan looked at Ruyi warmly, and his eyes were as intoxicating as old wine. When Ruyi came back to his senses and found that the two had been looking at each other for too long, his face turned red when he brushed it, and he stammered a little to divert his attention: "That...... Brother Linghu ......"

Ling Huyuan smiled slightly: "What's the matter?" "I...... I forgot about it too. Ruyi lowered her head and laughed, and after a while, the laughter of the two echoed in the room.

Ruyi entered the palace the day after meeting with Ling Huyuan, and this is the first time Ruyi has entered the palace after coming to Anyi City for so long, and he has been in contact with Wei Poppy by letter before.

Ruyi walked into the vermilion towering palace gate, inside is the high hall and the vast building, the Danying carved tree, the palace room is staggered vertically and horizontally, the eaves are hooked and intrigued, and then go deeper, all are high platforms and thick pavilions, Qiongtai Yuyu. The palace is majestic and the courtyard is gorgeous.

This is the first time Ruyi has come to Wei Palace after crossing, and I don't know if there are still traces of the old days in these places. Ruyi looked carefully, and walked naturally a little slowly.

An attendant led the way in front and glanced back at Ruyi from time to time, thinking that this girl was really beautiful, the eldest prince must like it, and she would definitely be noble in the harem in the future. Thinking of this, the chamberlain became more and more polite, and introduced Ruyi with a smile: "Girl, is it the first time you come to the palace?" The area in this palace is very large, and you can't finish it in a day, but the girl will definitely have time to turn in the future. ”

At first, Ruyi didn't understand it, but looking at the waiter's smile and respectful attitude, he understood that he must have thought about it, thinking that he would become a member of the harem.

Ruyi smiled and didn't explain, and continued to follow the waiter forward. It was only at the main hall that the attendant stopped and stepped aside. Ruyi looked up and saw a black golden silk nanmu plaque hanging above the temple door, which was inscribed with gold powder and the three words of Shaohua Palace.

Ruyi walks into the hall, the hall carves beams and embroidered columns, the veil hangs lightly, the pearl is the curtain, the jade is the ornament, and it is extremely luxurious. However, if you look closely, although the cleaning is clean and tidy, the furnishings are some years old. No matter from the decoration or color of the hall, it looks like a girl's boudoir.

Wei Poppy saw Ruyi and admired it, and walked over with a smile and introduced: "This is the dormitory where my aunt lived before she got married, and the decorations and decorations are all preserved as they were back then. ”

Ruyi was a little surprised, "Where does my mother live?" ”

"Yes, my father has been ordering people to clean up, and I also keep a thought." Wei Poppy said with emotion.

"Wasn't this the place where the fire broke out?" Ruyi asked in surprise. Wei Poppy didn't expect the two to talk about this topic as soon as they met, and after a pause, his expression was a little gloomy and said, "It's not here, it's the palace outside the palace." ”

Ruyi looked at Wei Poppy's expression and knew that now was not a good time to talk about this topic, so he smiled and changed the topic: "Cousin, let's talk about business first." Then the two briefly talked about the past, talked about the recent situation of Yunmeng Town since the last time, the current situation and the next arrangements, and carefully rehearsed several possible situations and corresponding countermeasures.

Wei Poppy is also full of praise for Ruyi's talent and strategy, Ruyi has grown into a full-fledged eagle, and can already compete with himself, no longer a silk grass that needs to be climbed, nor a canary that needs to be raised. Wei Poppy was pleased with Ruyi's growth, but he was a little reluctant to let her fly. Wei Poppy looked at Ruyi with some contradictions.

Ruyi smiled and quipped: "Cousin, what kind of expression do you have?"

Wei Poppy also smiled, yes, isn't it better to compare, in the future he will be the king, and she will be the queen. Wei Poppy also smiled and quipped: "Where is this still the original little princess?" What a female strategist! The laughter forcibly suppressed the faint uneasiness and the ungraspable uncertainty in his heart, unwilling to think deeply about whether she would really become his queen.

"Ruyi, can you just live here? Live in Shaohua Palace. Wei Poppy cautiously probed.

Ruyi looked at Wei Poppy with a look of anticipation for fear of his refusal, smiled and nodded in agreement, "It's also more convenient to live here, and the province's frequent entry into the palace attracts attention." ”

"I'll call someone to arrange it." Wei Poppy happily summoned someone to prepare. A new quilt was changed, and a few new maids and chamberlains were divided. It's like wanting to stay for a long time. "Cousin, don't bother, you won't be able to stay for a few days, just let Xia He come over. I'm not used to being overserved. Ruyi said troublesomely.

"How can you do it, where can you live if you don't live here, this will be your home in the future." Wei Poppy argued seriously, and after speaking, he turned his head weakly and continued to instruct the attendants to place all kinds of things. Wei Poppy thought to himself, how decisive he was in front of others, only in the face of Ruyi was always so overwhelmed and helpless.

Time passed quickly, and Ruyi had already received Tian Rang's flying pigeon message, knowing that Gongsun Xin had gone to South Korea. The Wei side also began to slowly unfold one by one according to Ruyi's deployment.

Ruyi is still leisurely, the biggest thing every day is to visit the palace, a few days after finally the palace is almost gone, only two places are missing, a Wei Pop's palace, a Wei Wuhou's bedroom. At this point, Ruyi no longer wandered around, and read and wrote in Shaohua Hall every day, and occasionally Wei Poppy would come to see her. Sometimes the two of them eat together, and then Wei Poppy takes her to walk around the garden.

The days passed quietly and seemingly peacefully, as if not even a ripple had been caused.

The bright spring sun climbed all over the window edges, illuminating the room warmly. Ruyi lazily leaned on the low couch by the window, basking in the sun and reading a book.

"Miss, let's go out for a walk with the sun so good today." Xia He walked in and persuaded.

Ruyi shook his head, "It's good that I'm just basking in the sun here, it's not that you don't know how much gossip you have to listen to every time you go out, and you can't bear it, so you go and talk to them plainly." It's better for us to stay in our own yard. ”

"I'll just say, why didn't the young lady tell His Highness? If His Highness had known that there would have been no more gossip. Xia He said indignantly.

"Now that the situation is unstable, the daily court affairs are enough for him to be annoyed, so why worry about this little thing." Ruyi said indifferently while reading the book.

"Miss, I heard from the chamberlain in the front hall that there was another fight this morning."

"Tell me more about it." Ruyi put down the book and listened intently. Xia He reported the news to Ruyi one by one. After hearing this, Ruyi instructed Xia He to prepare some refreshments that His Highness loved to eat.

As soon as Xia He prepared the refreshments, the outside reported that the palace had come down. Xia He whispered: "Miss is really like a god. Ruyi smiled: "You will also make fun of me." Xia He playfully stuck out his tongue.

While the two were talking, Wei Poppy came in from outside, "What did the two say?" So happy. ”

Xia He replied with a smile: "The slave is praising Miss for her virtue, and the food prepared is what His Highness likes to eat." Xia He didn't wait for Ruyi to speak, and quickly exited the room with a smile and closed the door.

Ruyi said helplessly, "Don't listen to Xia Hehu." Wei Poppy looked at what he really liked to eat on the table, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice to sweep away the previous boredom.

Wei Poppy restrained the joy in his heart, and first told Ruyi about the matter, "Today, the pauper doctors represented by Hu Yong and the aristocratic ministers represented by the prime minister's uncle acne are openly opposed. ”

Ruyi unconsciously frowned when he heard Uncle Gong's acne, but quickly relaxed his expression and calmly analyzed: "Confrontation is a matter of time or time, and it has been a long time coming, even if you and Wei Chuan are not competing for the position." This contradiction will also erupt sooner or later, which is also the reason why your father has delayed the establishment of a prince, because he does not want to offend either side. ”

Wei Poppy listened to a somewhat unnatural muttering to himself, "This is not the only mess left by my father." ”

Ruyi continued: "Then what is my cousin going to do next?" ”

"Don't worry, I have sent someone to start collecting evidence of Hu Yongji's corruption and fornication with other countries, and capture the thief and the king first." Wei Poppy said as he picked up a piece of peach blossom crisp and put it in his mouth.

Ruyi picked up the teapot and poured water on the teabowl and pushed it to Wei Poppy, the two naturally and tacitly understood, and then continued: "It's just that in this way, Wei Chuan will soon fight back." I wonder if Brother Linghu has arranged it properly? I estimate that Gongsun Xin will soon be able to convince the Korean Lianzhao to attack Wei. ”

"Linghu Yuan has sent a message back, and everything is arranged." Before Wei Poppy's words fell, there was a noisy sound outside. Soon, the voice of Wei Pop's personal chamberlain sounded outside the door, "Your Highness, I'm afraid that Wuhou is going to fail, go and take a look." ”

Wei Pop stood up and walked out of the door, Ruyi also stood up suddenly, his heart was even more mixed, some things had not been clarified, but the people of the year were all gone, and his heart was at a loss, "Cousin, can I go with you?" Ruyi asked.

Wei Poppy stopped, his expression was a little complicated for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal and looked back at Ruyi and said, "Okay, come with me." Then he stretched out his hand and waited for Ruyi to come over and hold his hand.

Ruyi walked over, but didn't hold his hand. Wei Poppy didn't hesitate to take Ruyi's hand and walked out.

Ruyi's cold palm felt the heat that was constantly transmitted between Wei Pop's palms, Wei Pop didn't turn his head to look at her, but Ruyi felt that his gaze was around him.

This is not too long a road, Wei Pop walked extremely firm every step, as if this was the way he reached the top with Ruyi, and the two could finally stand side by side at the top, looking down on their great rivers and mountains
