"That's true, but in this situation, I think it's better to talk to my father." Yu Baiyi knew that he couldn't do anything about it, but he couldn't just watch it.

Wu Wei pondered for a moment, and also felt that he and Yu Baiyi couldn't have any good ideas on this matter alone: "This idea is good, if General Yu knows about this matter, he should be able to put forward some good suggestions." ”

"Okay, I'll go to Yufu now, my father just returned to Beijing a few days ago, and I haven't visited my younger siblings in the past two days. It's a bit indebted. After Yu Baiyi finished speaking, he seemed to think of something again.

Wu Wei saw that Yu Baiyi had concerns in his heart, and hurriedly laughed and then patted Yu Baiyi's broad shoulder: "Brother Yu, don't worry." I will protect you for these two days, princess. ”

Yu Baiyi blushed when he heard this, and then punched Wu Wei in the chest: "Don't talk nonsense. After a while, you apologize to the princess and say that I have been derelict in my duty. ”

Wu Wei covered his chest that was hit by a punch: "Okay, good." I'll apologize for pouring tea for you later. ”

Yu Baiyi glared at him fiercely when he heard this, and Wu Wei could only raise his arms helplessly. Then he pushed and shoved Yu Baiyi to go faster.

When Yu Baiyi arrived at the door, he looked at Wu Wei again with some unease, and Wu Wei hurriedly patted his chest, with a relieved look. Yu Baiyi left with confidence.

In the single room, Ruan Tian was inevitably nervous when facing a person with an incomparably noble status like Ye Yufu for the first time. Before he could start singing, his hand had already shaken several times, and the tone that came out sounded extremely strange.

"Your Royal Highness, I'm really sorry if I stained your ears." Ruan Tian lowered his head and looked apologetic. As he spoke, he slowly lowered his body and looked like he was about to kneel.

Although Ye Yufu didn't know much about music, the short performance that had been interrupted before also made her feel that her skills were superb, but this time there was only Miss Ruan Yan'er and herself in the room, and she looked extremely nervous.

Ye Yufu couldn't help but wonder if her expression was too fierce, so she hurriedly supported Ruan Tian, and said softly with a smile in the corner of her eyes: "Miss Ruan, get up quickly, this is outside the palace, you treat me as an ordinary girl, don't be the princess of the palace." You see, this maid of mine only treats me as a good friend on weekdays. If only you were like her. ”

The smoke on the side also smiled kindly at Ruan Day, Ruan Sun raised his head at this time, and when he looked up, he saw Ye Yufu's beautiful eyes: "Yes, princess." ”

Ye Yufu's face was dyed with a hint of helplessness: "Miss Ruan, just call me Miss Ye outside this palace." ”

"This...."Ruan Tian hesitated, and then said, "Okay, Miss Ye." ”

"That's right, Miss Ruan, hurry up and sing, I can't wait to hear your singing." Ye Yufu said and returned to her seat with a look of anticipation.

Ruan Tian couldn't help but have a good impression of Ye Yufu in his heart at this moment, thinking that the people in the palace were all extremely arrogant, how could he care about a person like himself who was lowly and made a living by performing arts.

But although Ye Yufu looked noble and unapproachable, she obviously didn't have any prejudice against herself, so it was no wonder that Fang Cai's Yu Gongzi couldn't stop looking at her. But apparently Ye Yufu didn't notice Yu Baiyi's unusual gaze.

Ruan Tian lost his nervousness at the moment, and finally became like a fish in water when he played, and the slightest note drawn from his fingers was as smooth as mountains and flowing water, making people feel as if they were in a paradise and their ears were also greatly satisfied.

As the sound of the pipa gradually increased, Ruan Tian's singing voice also sounded, which was an extremely soft Jiangnan minor. This singing voice is not as cold as when Ruan Tian speaks, but is extraordinarily soft.

In this incomparably beautiful Jiangnan minor, Ye Yufu seems to have appreciated the tenderness that the world says only belongs to Jiangnan women, and there was once a concubine from Jiangnan in the palace.

Ye Yufu now remembers the concubine, who looks like water, has a soft voice, and can make everyone can't take their eyes off when he sings. The father was once favored, but it was a pity that the concubine's body and bones were always weak, and she later died of illness in her palace. provoked his father to be silent every time he heard the beautiful singing.

Unconsciously, Ruan Tian was already at the end of the song, and Ye Yufu was still reminiscing about the beauty of Fang Cai, and the smoke on the side hurriedly said excitedly: "Miss Ruan! You're singing so well! It's a pity to have such talent to stay in this small teahouse. ”

Ruan Ri still had a faint expression when he heard the praise, he didn't have any excitement and just smiled faintly, Ye Yufu felt more and more that Ruan Ri was similar to the concubine who committed suicide in the palace, so she said: "Miss Ruan really has a good voice, the last time I heard such a beautiful singing voice was sung by a lady in the palace a few years ago, and she sang a good Jiangnan tune like you." ”

Ruan Tian lowered his head, and there were still no ups and downs in his tone, and said flatly: "Most of the women in Jiangnan are talented, like me, they just know a little about the skin, how dare they compare with the noble lady in the palace." ”

Ye Yufu picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea, then said with a smile: "Miss Ruan is modest, now there is no singer in the palace who can beat your voice." ”

Then she paused again and said: "But it is a coincidence, I remember that the lady is also surnamed Ruan, and her temperament when singing is very similar to yours." I couldn't help but think of her when I heard you sing. ”

Hearing this, Ruan Ri's body suddenly shook violently, and a trace of surprise suddenly flashed in his plain eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "I don't know how old Ruan Niangniang is now?" Are you still in the palace? ”

Ruan Yan threw out two questions in a row, and Ye Yufu was a little inexplicable, but she still replied: "Ruan Niangniang used to be in the position of a fourth-grade noble concubine, but she died five years ago, when Ruan Guifei was about thirty or two years old, but I think she looks like a twenty-eight girl." ”

Ruan Tian's eyes seemed to have a flash of water, and he just wanted to say something but pressed it back, and after a long time, he said, "Miss Ye, can you tell me about this Ruan Guifei." After all, I will be happy to hear the stories of my fellow countrymen in this strange Beijing. ”

Ye Yufu looked at Ruan Tian's eyes dyed with deep sadness, and was looking at Ye Yufu at the moment.

Ye Yufu faintly felt in her heart that this Ruan girl and Ruan Guifei might have a special relationship, she had never been able to bear to see others grieving, so she tried her best to recall the memories of Ruan Guifei in her mind.

"At that time, I was still young, and I didn't have much contact with the concubines in the palace, so my memory of Ruan Guifei was a little vague, and I hope Miss Ruan won't mind."

Ruan Tian hurriedly shook his head: "It doesn't matter if it's all this, even if it's a little bit I want to know." ”

Ye Yufu nodded lightly and began to recall: "Ruan Guifei has always been gentle and calm, and she has no quarrel with the world. She smiles faintly every time, and every time she sings, she can relax her tired mind, so she is also quite popular in the palace. ”

"I remember when I was a child, I got lost with my maid in the Imperial Garden again, and it was very hot, so I walked for a while and almost passed out. At this time, Ruan Guifei happened to pass by and took me to her palace, and she had been fanning me by my side during this time of my grogginess. ”

Ruan Tian didn't have any words at the moment, just listened silently, and painted the scene Ye Yufu said in his mind.

Ye Yufu continued: "Later, Ruan Guifei also made me xiaolongbao, which is the most delicious xiaolongbao I have eaten in the past ten years. Then a few hours later, my mother came to pick me up, and at that time, Ruan Guifei seemed to be very reluctant, holding my hand so that I could go to her palace to play if I was fine. ”

Ye Yufu paused, and the appearance of Ruan Guifei calling a child to herself with a gentle face became more and more distinct in her mind.

"That's all I remember." Ye Yufu said that she didn't feel a trace of sadness on her face.

Ruan Tian was speechless for a long time after hearing this, and then the corners of his eyes gradually moistened, and tears flowed down his cheeks all the way to the ground.

Yan'er saw it on the side and hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, and then said, "Miss Ruan, what's wrong?" ”

Ruan Tian heard the sound of smoke for a long time before he stopped crying, and then hurriedly took the handkerchief to wipe the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes. Said slowly: "I'm sorry, I just lost my temper." ”

Ye Yufu still couldn't help but ask Ruan Tian, who looked like he was in a trance: "Miss Ruan, maybe it's not good for me to ask like this... But... What I want to say is whether you have anything to do with Ruan Guifei? ”

Ruan Tian's eyes were red again at this moment, and her hands tightly grasped the handkerchief that Fang Caiyan'er handed her. Then his voice choked, and his words were intermittent: "Princess... I haven't talked to anyone about it. I hope you can keep it a secret for me. ”

Ye Yufu stood up, then sat down on the chair next to Ruan Tian and motioned for Yan'er to avoid.

Seeing this, Yan'er quickly turned around and retreated outside the house, and firmly closed the door.

As soon as Yan'er left, Ruan Tian said quietly: "I just heard Miss Ye talk about it, and I realized that Ruan Guifei is my biological mother who has been separated for more than ten years. ”

Ye Yufu couldn't help frowning in surprise after hearing this: "You mean you are Ruan Guifei's child?" ”

Ruan Tian nodded and continued: "Eighteen years ago, I was born in a family of businessmen surnamed Ruan in Jiangnan, the Ruan family can be said to be rich in Jiangnan back then, and my mother is a famous beauty in Jiangnan is the pearl of the Ruan family, and my father is just a poor scholar, twenty years ago, my mother resolutely married my father despite the opposition of the family, and the family had no choice but to let my father into the family. ”

"Then I came, but the good times didn't last a few years, when my father won the imperial examination when I was five years old, he was going to Beijing to take up his post, and at this time there was a huge dispute with my mother. One night, my father stole my mother's dowry and ran away. After that, my mother washed her face in tears for several months, and finally decided to take me to Beijing to find my father. ”

Ye Yufu frowned and said unfairly: "There are still such scumbags in this world who abandon their wives and daughters. ”

Ruan Sun snorted coldly: "I don't treat him as my father, but later, when I was about to arrive in the capital, my mother and I were relocated by a large number of victims and then accidentally separated." We never saw each other again. I've been looking for her for so many years, but I didn't expect to enter the palace, but it's understandable with my mother's appearance. But actually..."

Ye Yufu stroked Ruan Tian's cold hand at this moment: "Ruan Guifei's body has always been bad, but she walked very peacefully in the end. And the deceased has passed away, and I hope that Miss Ruan will mourn. ”

Ruan Sun glanced at Ye Yufu gratefully and said: "It's been more than ten years, and I've long been relieved, but I can't help but feel a little sad." I am relieved to know that my mother has been living well for so many years. My mother fell ill when she gave birth to me, and it is good that I can enjoy happiness in the palace for many years. ”

After speaking, Ruan Tian fell silent again, and then after a long time, he suddenly knelt heavily on the ground and said to Ye Yufu: "Princess, can Ruan Sun ask you for one thing here..."

Ye Yufu was taken aback, and reached out to help. Ruan Tian said that he didn't get up for anything, and then said resolutely: "Princess, you must promise me!" ”
